Chapter 618 It’s broken, I’m a substitute
After the initial qualifiers that eliminated all players to only 256, the selected players faced three 2-on-2 doubles matches.
This is Zhou You's favorite doubles part, but 22 is a little less enjoyable than 64.
This year is the first time that the Hoenn League has vigorously promoted the doubles competition system. The reason why there is no overly complicated doubles competition is probably because the players do not know enough about it.
"My opponent in the first round is... Youli from Duskwater Town?"
"What happened to Duskwater City?" Eden was puzzled.
"Twilight Water Town is a very special town. The entire town is built on driftwood. It is adjacent to the Sky Pillar and the Notice Stone Room. We will probably go there in the future."
Using driftwood to build on water?
Wouldn't a wave come over and turn the house upside down?
After hearing what the trainer said, the elves really wanted to see how this strange structure existed.
But what is more important right now is the battle with the opponent.
The doubles match known as the "Preliminary Tournament" does not have many fancy systems, and even the venue is held in a standard venue.
Unlike the Quartz Conference, which takes a day off every time a game is played, Hoenn will reduce the number of players from 256 to 32 on the first day to leave more time for more important battles.
Playing three games in a row in the morning, afternoon and evening will be a big test for the training and rationality of the participating trainers' overall lineup - if the fight is too intense, the Elf Center will not have time to treat them.
Just like when Ye Yue refused to play against the opponent because of the serious injury of the Flame Chicken, leading to the defeat in the next round after Xiaozhi was eliminated...
But for Zhou You, I understand everything.
After the information about the contestants from both sides was displayed on the big screen, Zhou You came to the battle site and prepared for the battle seriously - he was not strong enough to guarantee that he would win under any circumstances.
"Go ahead, Big-billed Gull, Thorny Dragon King!" "Nuomi Ci, Frozen Bird, it's you who decide."
The rainy weather combination from Fengyuan Twilight Water Town collided with the snowy weather combination from Guandong Twin Islands.
The large-billed gull entering the arena was about to move the rain in the atmosphere to position itself on the battlefield as usual, but was disturbed by the freezing bird that rarely flew to the center of the battlefield for the first time, disrupting the energy fluctuations and lowering the twilight sky. The water town has never seen white snow all year round.
The frozen birds and glutinous rice cakes, which carried the luminous powder that the elves had received for clearing the battle against the food pavilion, were looming like phantoms in this silvery blanket.
Yuri from Duskwater Town found that he could no longer see the positions of Frozen Bird and Vulpix!
The combination of light powder and "Snow Hidden" makes it extremely difficult for even nearby elves to see where the opponent is, let alone a trainer who is quite a distance away from the battle site.
Realizing this, Youli left the outcome to the elf's judgment on the spot: "Big-billed Gull, Thorny Dragon King, release the blizzard!"
Isn't using the opponent's venue to attack the opponent a way out?
Zhou You: "?"
He discovered how the opponents he encountered always had unique skills of one kind or another. Was he playing on a difficult difficulty level?
despite this……
"Freeze and dry." Zhou You chose the attack method the moment he saw the opponent's two elves.
Inflicts damage to water in the opponent's body by rapidly freezing it.
Unlike water's resistance to ice under normal circumstances, in this specific case, the ice attribute can also restrain the water attribute.
Therefore, the two fairies of Water + Flying and Water + Dragon, who were not weak or resistant to ice, were exposed at their most vulnerable when faced with the "freeze-drying" of Vulpix and Frozen Bird respectively. side.
The two elves who failed to capture their opponent's position in the first time had no time to spread the "blizzard" to the entire field, and were directly eliminated due to the freeze-drying shot of the two ice-type elves with four times the restraint.
It wasn't even half a minute before the game started.
"Winning, it was a really enjoyable battle."
Zhou You originally wanted to say this during the handshake session after the match, but seeing the red and swollen eye circles of the girl opposite him, he finally decided to leave the field without saying a word.
——
At this time, Dr. Ohki, Qingluo and Nanami, who were watching the acquaintance competition at the Ohki Research Institute in Zhenxin Town, couldn't help but sigh:
"Jojo's battle is still the same."
"This matchup is too Jojo."
"snort."
——
Zhou You, who easily won his first victory, had just left the venue and was thinking about what to eat for lunch when he saw a familiar figure waiting at the place where he must pass when he returns to the Elf Center.
Four days...Wang Furong?
She is obviously one of the top trainers in the Hoenn region, but no one in Caiyu City, where the alliance is located, has noticed her?
Zhou You subconsciously thought that he was meeting the female ghost who had a close relationship on the Sendhen Mountain and was very similar to Furong.
But after noticing the spirit hidden in the opponent's shadow, Dang even realized that this was probably an application of illusion.
"Ah haha, you were able to see through the dream demon's illusion in an instant."
Realizing that the other party noticed her, Fu Rong, who was obviously not much older than Zhou You, happily invited the other party to a secluded place.
In a deserted corner outside the venue, the Four Heavenly Kings, who came out of curiosity about someone, approached very close and observed the person closely with curious eyes that seemed to be able to see through the person.
Finally, she asked solemnly: "Wanderer, after you visited Shuangshen Mountain a few months ago, rumors spread that the two orbs enshrined in the ancestral hall on the top of the mountain were just fakes. Do you have any clues about this matter? ?"
Although I don’t know whether it’s Mikoli or who it is, the museum owners are not stupid, and they actually went to Send Shenshan to confirm.
But Zhou You still said confidently: "Because both the real vermilion orb and the indigo orb are in my hands, of course the two given to me on the sacred mountain can only be fakes."
After saying that, he took out two more orbs, like a Tang monk showing off his colorful cassocks.
As the two orbs appeared in each other's hands, Fu Rong's face, which was still joking, suddenly turned serious.
"this……"
As the granddaughter of the two caretakers of the sacred mountain, she has seen the pearls since she was a child, and sometimes even touches them with her hands, almost using the two beads as balls to kick.
There will be no one in this world who can deceive Fleur about the orb.
Originally, when she heard the rumors, she thought the owners had been deceived by some bad boy.
However, after seeing the vermilion orb and indigo orb in Zhou You's hand, she discovered that the energy in these two sealed beads was exactly the same as the orb on the Sendhen Mountain.
Not only that, the natural energy of the two orbs in the opponent's hands is more pure, condensed, and huge, and contains more powerful power than the orbs that their family has guarded for generations!
Could it be that... the two beads sent to the sacred mountain are really fakes?
Furong actually had such a ridiculous idea.
