Chapter 124
Xiaozhi, Tetsuya, and Masamune successfully broke through the preliminaries and entered the official competition, and participated in the opening ceremony of the Caiyou Conference together!
And President Damalanqi gave the honor of the last torch runner to Xiaozhi. Under the gaze of everyone, Xiaozhi stepped onto the torch stand and lit the flame from Moltres. The Pokémon Hoenn League Caiyou Conference officially began! Xiaozhi and others came to the dedicated Pokémon Center of the conference. Seeing Xiaosheng holding the Navigator and constantly flipping through it, Masamune asked curiously,"What are you doing?"
"Using Pokémon Navigator, you can check the latest information about the tournament like this!" Xiaosheng smiled and introduced the Navigator.
""Amazing! Is this the power of technology?" Masamune exclaimed.
On the other side, Xiaogang had turned into a steam engine and began to emit smoke."Through the screen, I can actually check all the beautiful sisters participating in the competition!"
Everyone(￢_￢)......Silently walking away from him, it was too embarrassing, only Madara was holding onto Xiaogang tightly.
At this moment, Miss Joy took the microphone and announced,"Now, I will announce the group list for the preliminary tournament of the Hoenn League Saiyou Conference!"
As soon as the voice fell, all the trainers looked at Miss Joy, eager to know who their opponents were!
"There are 256 trainers participating in the preliminary tournament. In the preliminary tournament, the 32 winners will have the right to participate in the final tournament! In addition, the preliminary tournament adopts a three-round mode, all doubles matches!"After Miss Joy announced the rules of the preliminary tournament, the contestants immediately started discussing!
To select 32 from 256 people, the elimination system is really cruel, and the doubles match must be played three games in a row. If you lose a game, you will be eliminated. The pressure on the contestants is really not small!
"I'm getting more and more excited!" Masamune shouted with full fighting spirit, no matter what the rules are, as long as he can win all the way!
"Well, now we will announce the groups." Miss Joy's voice drew the attention of the contestants back to the public screen.
Then the group information of the 256 contestants all popped up on the screen. Xiaozhi was assigned to the afternoon competition in Arena C, and Masamune was assigned to the morning competition in Arena E, which meant that Masamune's competition was about to begin!
In the audience seats of Arena E, Xiaozhi and others began to watch Masamune's competition. However, when everyone was cheering for Masamune, two people who didn't fit in mixed in.
"The pineapple bread is amazing!"
"It’s worthy of being a product sold exclusively at the Caiyou Convention!"
"Yes!"
Xiaoyao and Tetsuya, two foodies, were seen holding a pineapple bun each and eating with great enjoyment.
Everyone looked at them speechlessly.
Masamune's opponent was a trainer named Karen. The lineup was Growlithe and Scorpio versus Gallant and Megatron.
It was obvious that Karen had the advantage in level. In addition, Masamune only knew how to attack, and his tactics were also controlled by Karen.
But Masamune relied on his courage to fight with them. First, Scorpio used his flying trick to defeat Megatron.
At the same time, Megatron also solved Growlithe, and then the two ground-type Pokémon started to fight. In the end, Scorpio's amazing courage killed Gallant with Iron Tail and ended the battle. Masamune is really like his predecessor, Satoshi. He fights with his passion, and the reason why he can win is entirely due to the efforts of the Pokémon himself.
Next is Satoshi's game,"Dear audience, the fourth game in Arena C is between Satoshi from Pallet Town and Tomono from Inua Town!"
"I've decided it's you, King Swallow and Thundermon!" Xiaozhi sent out the lineup he had already registered.
"siba～""Woof～"
""It's up to you, Tropical Dragon, Devourer!" Youye also sent out his Pokémon without hesitation.
In terms of the lineup of both sides, Xiaozhi barely had a slight attribute advantage. In terms of strength, Xiaozhi's two Pokémon were both in the middle stage of the gym, while Youye's Tropical Dragon was in the middle stage of the gym and Devourer was in the early stage of the gym.
Of course, if Youye's command tactics were very strong, this advantage would not be a big deal.
""Tropico, fly up!" Tomono looked at Xiaozhi's low-flying King Swallow and Thundermon,"Leaf Blade, all-out attack!"
""Get out of the way!" Xiaozhi commanded calmly.
Xiaozhi's two Pokémon were both speed-type, and they easily avoided the siege of the Leaf Blade with absolute speed.
"King Swallow, air slash all over the field! Raidenmon, electric field and pray for rain!"Xiaozhi directly seized the field and weather rights.
King Swallow's wings kept swinging out air slashes, forcing Dragonite and Devourer to defend. When the attack was over, Raidenmon had already built the field!
The whole field was covered with a golden field, and heavy rain fell from the sky."King Swallow, take advantage of this storm!"
Suddenly the storm rolled up the raindrops to form a water tornado,"Be careful!" Tomono shouted.
It was too late, the water tornado directly trapped Dragonite and Devourer!
"Right now, thunder roars everywhere! The King Swallows rush forward and return!"Xiaozhi commanded.
"What?!" Xiaogang and others in the audience were shocked. If they rushed forward now, the King Swallow would also be hit by the thunder that covered the entire venue!
But Xiaozhi wanted this result. Countless lightning struck at the same time, the Tropical Dragon, the Devourer and the King Swallow. Unlike the wailing of the Tropical Dragon and the Devourer, the King Swallow resisted it and integrated the lightning energy of the thunder into the Swallow's return.
""Go! King Swallow!" Xiaozhi shouted.
King Swallow directly transformed into Golden King Swallow and broke through the waterspout, defeating the Tropical Dragon and Devourer trapped in it!
Poor Devourer was beaten and lost its fighting ability before it could use its special attack moves.
"Tropical Dragon and Devourmon lost their ability to fight, King Swallow and Thundermon won, and the winner is Xiaozhi!"
Unlike Masamune's tough battle that relied on strength, this battle was completely based on Xiaozhi's rhythm. From the moment the venue and weather were unfolded, Tomono had already lost!
"Xiaozhi is really amazing! The last move is really gorgeous!"Xiaoyao said in surprise, the Golden King Swallow is so cool!
"It just takes a bit of Pokémon!" Xiaosheng complained
"As expected of Xiaozhi, he is very skilled in the combination of moves, and his Pokémon also trust him very much!"Zheya commented. Masamune nodded excitedly:"To be my rival, you should have this strength!"
Xiaozhi's second game was also very easy. He was not very strong, but he easily won by using only Milotic and Kirlia!
As long as he wins one more game, Xiaozhi will successfully advance to the final tournament.
To be continued......
