Chapter 506: Top 8 vs. Shinji
On the second day, the battle resumed at the main stadium of the Lily of the Valley Tournament. The quarterfinals officially began!
The first match was between Minghui and Passerby A as a warm-up. Without a doubt, Minghui finished the fight in half an hour.
As the first semi-finalist.
The remarkable performance also left a deep impression on Wusong and other four heavenly kings.
"I think this kid is good. If Xiaozhi doesn't want to take over the championship, training this kid is also an option." Wusong said.
"After all, his father was once the Sinnoh Champion, so he can be considered to be following in his father's footsteps."
Sirona nodded: "Although he is still a little immature, I have to say that talent is innate. With the training of Dr. Yamanashi, he is indeed worth considering."
"Don't be anxious, both of you~" Daye grinned, "Isn't there another trainer from the Sinnoh region next? I'm really looking forward to the battle between these two."
"Yes, these two are rare geniuses." Grandma Kikuno said with a smile.
"Dear audience, next up is the second round of the quarter-finals. Please welcome the contestants to the stage!"
The commentator's voice was full of passion, accompanied by the restless cheers from the audience, and Satoshi and Shinji appeared at the same time from the player channel!
The same key bracelets on their right wrists sparkled, and they walked steadily to the center of the venue and shook hands.
Glancing at Shinji's wrist, Xiaozhi smiled slightly: "You're planning on doing this to me, right?"
Shinji smiled rarely: "I will do my best."
"Me too." Xiaozhi nodded, and the two returned to their respective command seats.
The linesmen in the corners were all in place, and the referee raised his hands and limbs, then waved them vigorously amid the enthusiastic applause of the audience: "All-out battle. Start now!"
The main field of the Sinnoh League has eliminated the influence of attributes and is just an ordinary earth field. Therefore, neither side has a field advantage, allowing the battle to return to its essence.
Xiaozhi and Shinji threw the Poké Balls in their hands at the same time.
"Dodai!" In this match, Shinji started with his original partner Dodai Kame, seeking victory by playing it safe.
"Hoji!" Ash's side starts with Infernape!
"Hmph~ You want to teach me a lesson right away?" Shinji curled his lips when he saw Satoshi launch Infernape first.
Just as he thought, the moment the game started, Xiaozhi snapped his fingers: "Infernape, Super Infernape Activate!"
"Roar~ Give it to me!!" Flame Monkey let his arms hang naturally, bent down with his whole body relaxed, then suddenly raised his arms and looked up.
Boom! The flames above his head shot straight into the sky, and his eyes were shining red.
The violent momentum and the heat wave rolled in, making the Earth Turtle feel like it was facing a formidable enemy in an instant!
"Dodaikame, instant amnesia!" Shinji immediately took up defense.
The Tutai turtle turned its head with a puzzled look, and then a layer of blue light appeared all over its body, and its special defense instantly increased.
"Infernape, Explosive Fire and Shock!" Xiaozhi directly got close to the face and used his ultimate!
"Hoji!" The Flame Monkey suddenly jumped up, and the scorching flames turned from red to blue. A vast blue column of fire cut through the sky and headed straight for the Tutai Turtle.
Shinji's expression remained unchanged, and he suddenly said, "After shrinking, you will be like an iron wall!"
"Head..." The turtle shrank its limbs, and a layer of metallic luster appeared all over its body. Then, the impact followed.
Boom! ! Like a meteor hitting the earth, a violent explosion spread out the moment of contact.
Infernape did a backflip and landed on the ground, with arcs of electricity running across his body, causing him to grimace in pain.
On the other hand, the Tutai Turtle, although covered in a mess and emitting a wisp of white smoke, still stood up again as steady as a rock.
Lei Si in the stands smiled with satisfaction: "My brother is better than me~"
Yaxuan beside him couldn't help but grin: "I got a triple defense that was against the sky, instant amnesia, special defense, and close combat to hit two physical defenses in one second, this wave is maxed out..."
"Dodaikame, earthquake!" Shinji narrowed his eyes. The essence of defensive counterattack lies in counterattack!
The super fierce fire consumes so much energy, I don’t believe you can withstand the tug-of-war!
"Tutai!" The Tutai turtle raised its front legs, and circles of ochre-colored vibration waves were ready to go.
At the critical moment, Infernape dodged and actually came right under the Tutai Turtle! !
"Overheat!" Xiaozhi looked up suddenly.
"Roar! Give it to me!" Flame's chest swelled, a circle of flames formed around its mouth, and then a spiral column of bright orange fire spewed out.
Boom! ! The huge fire snake spread directly from the most vulnerable belly of the Tutai Turtle, and swallowed the Tutai Turtle in an instant!
"Earth Tower!!" The Earthen Tower Turtle opened his eyes wide and stepped down with all his strength!
Boom! In an instant the ground cracked and the earth shook!
Smoke rose up in the sky, and the target was lost in an instant.
Xiaozhi and Shinji stopped giving orders in tacit understanding and waited for the smoke to clear.
Boom~ A flash of fire lit up in the smoke and dust, and Flame Monkey knelt on one knee. The flames on his head spread to his back, like a fiery red cloak fluttering behind him.
Next to the collapsed opponent, Flame Monkey suddenly clenched his right fist, slammed it on the ground, stood up trembling, and exhaled large amounts of white air from his mouth.
After the referee confirmed it, he raised his hand and said, "Turtle is unable to fight, and Infernape wins."
After winning a game, Xiaozhi was not relieved. Stowe lost its combat effectiveness and Infernape was seriously injured.
However, with its strong willpower, it stood up again. If Xiaozhi gave another order now, Infernape would probably lie down on the spot.
"Come back, Inflammel." After taking back Inflammel, Satoshi looked at Shinji again.
"As expected of you..."
Shinji smiled slightly: "I still lost, but the result is acceptable."
In the stands, Serena clenched her fists in worry and bowed her head to pray.
Alice patted the other person and comforted him carelessly: "Don't be afraid, Xiaozhi still has the initiative now."
"But Shinji really surprised me." Minghui said with a wry smile after returning to the audience after the game: "I thought I could at least be in the top three in this tournament, but now it seems that I am afraid that I can't even keep the fourth place."
Shinji is definitely the first person after Shigeki to be able to fight with Satoshi to this extent!
"The game continues!"
At the referee's signal, Shinji and Satoshi used their Poké Balls to attack again.
"Martial Arts Bear Master, prepare to fight!"
"Lucario, it's you who decides!"
Buzz~ A circle of clear air like flowing water bloomed, and a tall bear warrior in black and white appeared in front of Shinji.
Plop~ It landed lightly on the ground, and a slightly taller Lucario without an evolution key landed in front of Xiaozhi.
The two Pokémon looked up at each other, and with a bang, a circle of strong wind spread out in all directions, blowing the audience in the first row forwards and backwards.
Unlike the doubts of ordinary audiences, Yaxuan in the stands suddenly stood up!
"That bear Pokémon has such a strong waveguide, it can even compete with the ancestor's warrior Lucario..."
Xiaozhi's warrior Lucario looked fierce and squatted slightly to get into his fighting stance.
On the other side, Wudao Master Bear raised one leg, and his arms moved forward and backward like a white crane spreading its wings.
"This is the Pokémon I fought so hard to get on the Lonely Island of Armor in order to fight you." Shinji said in a deep voice: "We got this power after watching the scroll of the Secret of Water. Now, let you experience it."
Xiaozhi raised his right hand solemnly: "Please give me your advice!"
The battle between the two top fighting Pokémon is about to begin!
To be continued...
