The names of the eleven groups are clearly displayed:
Tobias VS Miura VS Yumi
When these names appeared, the response from the audience was not particularly enthusiastic.
After all, compared to those well-known champions, Elite Four, these names are actually a little unfamiliar to most viewers.
"Tobias? It's really Legendary Pokémon Man. I thought I was dazzled when I saw the list just now."
Barry folded his arms, his expression a little serious.
"I saw it when the list was announced. If it is him, his strength is no worse than Elite Four, and may even be stronger."
Zoey also agrees, don't worry about Legendary Pokémon Man or Legendary Pokémon Man, as long as you can fight, that's enough.
"Just based on his lineup and his strength, Elite Four is the most basic evaluation."
Dawn added.
After all, after traveling for so long, I have never seen a lineup of mythical beasts except this person.
Serena poked his head curiously:
"Is he very powerful? Why haven't I heard of him?"
As the local trainer of Kalos, she has limited knowledge of players from other conferences.
Ash scratched his cheek, his expression a little tangled:
"It's hard to say, I haven't fought him."
At the VIP table, Cynthia also noticed this name and figure.
"It's him. I didn't expect him to come to the tournament."
Tobias left an equally deep impression on her.
Diantha on the side followed her gaze and noticed the silent young man wearing a windbreaker:
"That boy who looks a little gloomy? It seems to be another trainer from you Sinnoh. You Sinnoh are really Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon."
"Well, it's a special case among trainers Sinnoh."
Cynthia A faint smile appeared on the corner of his lips, "It's quite surprising. I originally thought that he would disappear after that conference."
Diantha became interested. "Oh? From your tone, it seems that you have a high opinion of him?"
"It's not that the evaluation is low. It's that his existence itself is a challenge to the traditional trainer system."
Cynthia turned his attention to the playing field again. "You will know after watching."
On the field, three players have already taken the stage.
Tobias still wears his iconic look: his long black hair is scattered casually, covering half of his face, only revealing a pair of emotionless eyes.
The whole person exudes an aura of indifference that avoids strangers, and looks like a human body Darkrai.
His opponents, Miura and Yumi, have completely different styles of painting.
This is a young couple trainer from Hoenn.
Miura is a sunny and cheerful boy, while Yumi is gentle and cute. The two of them held hands on stage, and the sour smell of love was wafting in the air.
Being able to double Double Battle into the Great Ball rank in a tournament with so many experts is a great story.
Especially the competition format of this three-person melee seems to have added an advantage to the couple who have a perfect understanding of each other.
Two versus one, no matter how you think about it, you have a greater chance of winning.
The two of them looked at each other, with a steady light shining in their eyes, completely unaware that they were about to face an extra-standard existence.
"The game begins!"
As the referee blew his whistle, both men threw Poké Ball at the same time.
Bang! Bang! Two white lights flashed.
A Espeon with purple body, elegant lines and shining ruby on its forehead landed on the ground.
A Umbreon, covered in pitch black, embellished with golden rings, and with steady eyes, appeared calmly.
Eevee family's classic day and night pairing, one for offense and one for defense, the color scheme and temperament perfectly complement each other.
The young couple was full of confidence and at the same time set their sights on the lonely Tobias opposite.
Tobias had a panoramic view of the expressions of the two of them, and the corners of their mouths hidden under their collars curved into a cold and sarcastic arc.
The ignorant are fearless.
He didn't even raise his hand, he just said four words:
"Darkrai."
The moment the words fell.
Phew!
Tobias The shadow under his feet suddenly burst out! The shadow surged crazily like a living black tide.
From the surging shadows, a slender and elegant black figure slowly emerged.
The pitch-black body, like the white hair composed of Smokescreen, is constantly rolling. Just standing there, it seems to absorb some of the surrounding light, and the temperature drops sharply.
Darkrai, Darkrai!
"Hiss!!!"
In the audience, there were gasps and gasps, followed by a huge uproar!
"Darkrai! It's Darkrai!"
"Isn't it?! This kind of Legendary Pokémon can also be released to compete? Isn't this a foul?!"
"I remember him! Legendary Pokémon Man Tobias! There was a Pokémon League Conference a few years ago, and it was he who used Darkrai to break out of the siege!"
"Ah? Is it him? Why do I remember that it's another guy who uses Darkrai..."
"You just remembered it wrong. How could there be two Legendary Pokémon Man? One of these perverts would be scary enough, right?"
"It's over, that young couple is going to suffer something serious..."
The pressure was instantly put on Miura and Yumi on the court.
The smiles on their faces instantly froze, replaced by a stiffness visible to the naked eye.
Miura: Darkrai? Darkrai? The Legendary Pokémon that can make people do endless Nightmare?
Yumi: I'm dreaming, right? Illusion must have appeared too early today.
Espeon and Umbreon also felt the terror of Pressure, and subconsciously took a step back, letting out an uneasy growl.
Tobias looked at the faces of the two people opposite him who instantly turned pale, and his tone remained calm:
"Why, we won't fight now?"
These words from Frillish were like a slap on Miura's face.
Fight! You must fight! How can you give in in front of your girlfriend?
Miura was heartbroken, held his neck, and yelled with all his strength, "Hit! The one you are hitting is Darkrai! Darkrai is also Pokémon, so what if you hit him!"
Yumi was infected by her boyfriend's power and nodded vigorously:
"That's right! If the two of us join forces, we may not be able to defeat Darkrai!"
The two looked at each other again, and saw the willingness to risk everything in each other's eyes.
"Espeon/Umbreon!"
"Use Calm Mind!"
The two Eevee immediately closed their eyes, a faint energy halo appeared around their bodies, and entered the Calm Mind state.
Audience: "..."
After a brief silence, a burst of undisguised boos broke out.
"Cut~~~"
"I thought you were so brave! This is what happened?"
"Brother, facing Darkrai, is there any difference between your Calm Mind improvement and Special Defense's?"
"You are so righteous and confident that I am speechless."
On the field, Tobias was also stunned by this operation. He was silent for two seconds and then said calmly:
"... You can do whatever you want."
The halo of Calm Mind dissipated, and the aura around the two Pokémon was indeed much stronger, which gave them some confidence to look at Darkrai.
"Okay! Start the attack! Espeon, Psyshock!" Miura feels like he can do it again.
"Umbreon, Dark Pulse!" Yumi also quickly followed.
The ruby on Espeon's forehead shines brightly, and the invisible Inner Focus energy condenses into sharp Tackle waves.
Umbreon opened his mouth, and Spit Up was surrounded by a dark wave, attacking from another angle!
The two attacks were extremely fast and their coordination was tacit, blocking Darkrai's dodge space.
However, Darkrai didn't want to hide at all.
It floated quietly in place, not even making any defensive moves, and just watched the attack hit itself Sturdy!
Boom boom!
The energy explodes! Smoke and dust are everywhere!
"Hit?!" Miura and Yumi were overjoyed, and their eyes instantly lit up!
What Darkrai, what Legendary Pokémon, it's nothing more than that! You can't even hide!
To be on the safe side, the two launched a new round of attack before the smoke cleared.
"Espeon, Psychic range suppression!"
"Umbreon, Shadow Ball prepare!"
Espeon condenses Confusion, and the invisible force field spreads instantly, covering Darkrai that is pressing into Smokescreen.
Umbreon condensed pitch black Shadow Ball in his mouth, and the energy fluctuations became stronger and stronger.
However, at the same time they Stockpile.
A group of shadows rose from the ground, and at some point, the figure of Darkrai appeared directly behind them!
"When?!" Miura and Yumi's pupils shrank suddenly!
Tobias's cold voice sounded:
"Dark Void."
Darkrai raised his hands, and two extremely deep dark spheres were instantly formed in his palms, and then they were gently pushed forward.
Bang! Bang!
Two Dark Void flew accurately towards the unsuspecting Espeon and Umbreon.
Before Espeon and Umbreon even realized what was happening, they felt boundless darkness and sleepiness flooding themselves like a tide.
When the darkness dissipated, the two Pokémon had fallen softly to the ground.
Instant kill, instant kill without any suspense.
The referee opened his mouth, but didn't seem to expect it to end so quickly, and quickly raised the flag:
"Tobias player wins and advances to the next round!"
The whole place was silent.
Then, various complicated exclamations broke out.
"Is this the end? Just one move?"
"After all, it's Darkrai, so it seems quite reasonable."
"It's so reasonable! The difference in strength is too outrageous!"
"With this kind of strength, even if Elite Four comes, he wouldn't dare to say that he is a sure winner, right?"
"Legendary Pokémon Man certainly deserves its reputation."
In the audience, Barry sighed:
"This is too fast! It feels no different from previous years."
Zoey expressed solemnly. "It's just crushing by pure strength."
Ash clenched his fists tightly, with fighting intent burning in his eyes. "Darkrai... It's really strong! I really want to fight it!"
While they were talking, Xiaoyun suddenly felt a gaze falling on him. He raised his head with emotion and looked at the shadow of the player tunnel.
There, Tobias stopped at some point and was looking towards him quietly.
Their eyes met in the air.
Tobias's face was still expressionless, but Xiaoyun could clearly see that the opponent's calm eyes were full of fighting intent at this moment.
"This time... we don't know whether we will win or lose."
Then, he withdrew his gaze and completely disappeared into the shadows.
Xiaoyun touched his chin, and a trace of interest ignited in his eyes.
"It seems that I'm being targeted."
Obviously, this Darkrai is stronger than it was a few years ago.
However, he is not the only one making progress.
"Lucian, I leave this Darkrai to you, can you win?"
In the rest area, Flint touched his chin and asked Psychic-type Elite Four next to him.
He himself doesn't really like playing against opponents with this kind of rule system, it's too frustrating.
Lucian pondered for a moment and said, "It's hard to say. You have to fight to know."
