As the battle between Xiaoyun ended, the next few three-person melees were equally exciting.
Finally, after several more fierce duels, the final group of battles was settled.
On the central battlefield, there was only one Gothitelle, wearing a gorgeous skirt and as elegant as a lady, floating in the air.
Behind Gothitelle is the Sleeping Beauty with ankle-length golden blonde hair.
Unova Psychic-type King of Heaven, Caitlin.
"Gothitelle wins! Player Caitlin advances to the next round!"
As Caitlin's Gothitelle ended the last three-person melee with an elegant and powerful gesture,
The winners of the eighteen groups were also born.
Seeing this, Diantha returned to the main stage, and Spotlight once again gathered on the champion actress.
"First of all, let us give our warmest applause to all the trainers who participated in this round of battle!"
"Whether we win or lose, you all presented us with wonderful visual feasts, showing the most sincere bond and the most tenacious fighting spirit between the trainer and Pokémon!"
The applause was like thunder and lasted for a long time.
Diantha When the applause stopped, the conversation suddenly changed:
"But! According to the competition format of this tournament, after the top 18 are born, all the audience at the scene will vote for the 4 most powerful players among the players in the loser group for a second resurrection!"
"Wow--!"
The audience was instantly excited!
Although the rules were announced before the game, when it came to this moment, especially those players who had the misfortune to lose, their hearts couldn't help but beat.
There is still a chance.
Diantha's voice continued to spread throughout the audience through the speakers:
"Similarly, the 18 players who have just been promoted will also be randomly selected to be matched with 4 lucky ones to form two groups of 4 people in a melee battle!"
She paused, and her beautiful eyes swept over the qualifying candidates in the player preparation area who had just breathed a sigh of relief:
"Only one person from each group advances! All losers are eliminated! And the winner automatically enters the top 16!"
"Everyone, please be mentally prepared~"
The losing group was instantly ecstatic!
"There is still a chance! Although there are only four of us, what if it is me!"
"Vote! Audience gentlemen, look at me! Even though I lost, it's an honor to lose!"
"Choose me, choose me! I can wear one and two!"
Even the king of Flint's level lit up and patted the shoulder of Volkner next to him. "Volkner! Do you see it! Opportunity! This is the chance to make a comeback!"
Volkner grinned when he slapped her, and threw his hand away angrily. "I know, I know! You first pray that the audience will remember you!"
As for the winner's group, the atmosphere is completely different.
The trainers who were just immersed in the joy of promotion suddenly fell down.
"Damn! Forgot about this!"
"If you win, you win. If you don't win, you don't win. What's the point of just hanging around!"
"Why the hell do you have to be dragged down to play another game after winning? Whoever was smart came up with such a wicked competition system!"
"Is there still justice? Is there still law? If you win, you will be whipped to death. Is this reasonable?"
"What the hell is this done by humans?"
Having said that, when Diantha announced the start of audience voting, the atmosphere in the entire venue became extremely delicate.
"Who do you want to choose? Just look at the winners. Who will follow the losers?"
"Yes, brother! I think the Flint king from before is very strong! He had a back-and-forth fight with the Diantha champion. Even though he lost, it was an honor!"
"Yes, yes! And that Lucian King, his Bronzong is also ridiculously strong."
"Let me tell you, Miss Elesa must have a vote! She is beautiful and powerful, so losing to the King Caitlin is just carelessness!"
"Second! Call for the beauty!"
The audience expressed their opinions and pressed their fingers quickly on the voting machine.
This is not only a choice of strength, but also mixed with personal preferences, sympathy points, and even appearance factors.
Diantha looked at the big screen with a smile, "Then the results have been tallied! Let's see which four lucky people got the precious opportunity to be resurrected."
The avatars on the big screen stopped Rollout, and then the four avatars were enlarged and displayed in sequence.
First place:
"From Unova Region Nimbasa City, Ms. Raven Gym Leader, Elesa!"
"Eh? Is it me?"
Elesa, who was born as a supermodel and has both good looks and strength, covered her mouth in surprise, then showed a Attract smile and waved to the camera:
"Thank you everyone, let me dazzle everyone with my gorgeous performance!"
"Elesa! Elesa! Elesa!"
"Goddess! Come on!"
"Appearance is justice! Strength and beauty coexist!"
Not far away, Yan Kai Tianwang, who was also in the loser group, opened his mouth, looked at Elesa's beautiful face and hot figure, and instantly understood.
Damn, these ugly dogs! They don't respect martial ethics!
"From Sinnoh Region, Fire-type King--Flint!"
The avatar switched, and a man with an afro and a hearty smile appeared on the screen.
"Hahahaha! Chengzheng! Chengzheng!"
Flint stood up, clasped his fists and raised his hands to the surrounding audience.
"What's so great is that I have better luck and more popularity."
Volkner next to him took two steps away with a look of disgust on his face and muttered softly.
I am envious, but I am still happy for my friend.
Flint's thrilling battle with Diantha won everyone's respect, and his resurrection was highly anticipated.
The avatar changed again, to a man with burgundy hair, glasses, and an elegant and calm temperament.
"Same from Sinnoh Region, Psychic-type King, Lucian!"
The applause was still warm, the strength of Lucian was obvious to all, and the battle of tactics and strength with Paul was a classic.
Lucian pushed up his glasses, with a calm smile on his face, and nodded slightly to the audience:
"It seems I still have a chance. Thank you very much for your support."
This kind of demeanor and calmness also won a lot of goodwill.
At this time, everyone's eyes were focused on the last spot.
In the losing group, Yan Kai straightened his back unconsciously and straightened his collar.
Choose me! Choose me quickly! I am the one everyone hopes for!
Then, the screen flashed.
The avatar of a boy with a huge Swagger smile, an unbeatable expression, and a head of yellow hair that looked like a hedgehog, occupied the screen.
Barry.
The confident smile on Yan Kai's face instantly solidified. He blinked, then blinked again to confirm that he had read correctly.
"Why is it yellow hair?"
"Oh ho ho ho! It has to be Uncle Barry! If God had not given birth to me Barry, Sinnoh would last forever like a long night!"
Barry jumped up from his seat, put his hands on his hips, looked up to the sky and let out his iconic Swagger laugh.
Everyone in Yan Kai was numb.
Choose me! Choose me to advance! Why not choose them?
Time goes back to one minute ago.
"By the way, why don't we choose King Yankai?"
"Brother, think about it, the kings in other regions are fighting for the championship, but our king is the master of the quilt, so the style is different, right?"
"We're all losing anyway. Maybe that pornographic program will be effective and give young people a chance."
"Well, that seems to make sense."
"Second the proposal! Happy competition, Huang Mao will stand up!"
At this point, all four resurrected contestants have been confirmed:
Elesa, Flint, Lucian, Barry.
"Congratulations to the four resurrected contestants!"
Diantha applauded and congratulated, and then his smile became deeper:
"Then it's time to decide their opponents, which are the other four "lucky ones" randomly selected from our 18 qualifying candidates."
"Action!"
God is so lucky, this must be an African chieftain.
The winning group complained one after another. On the big screen, the portraits of the eighteen promoted candidates began to roll.
"Please, please, don't choose me, don't choose me..."
Dawn Put your hands together and close your eyes.
She felt that she was promoted because she was lucky enough to meet May. There was another round of four-person melee, especially since there were monsters like Flint and Lucian in the loser group...
Forget it, just vote.
After a few seconds, the avatar slowly stopped.
Diantha waved his jade hand lightly, and the portrait of a man with a gentle and handsome face and short blond hair was frozen.
The first non-chief to be drawn was surprisingly Kalos Water-type King Zhimi!
Zhi Mi looked at his profile picture on the screen and rubbed his forehead in distress.
"Can you draw all of these? It seems that my luck is not on my side today."
In a melee between four people, there are too many variables. Even the king cannot guarantee victory.
Yan Kai, who was standing next to him, saw Zhi Mi's expression and suddenly felt a lot more mentally balanced, and immediately patted him on the shoulder.
"Brother, I understand you."
The second African Emirati freeze-frame is a blond girl with a high ponytail and full of Hustle.
Shalour Gym Gym, Korrina!
"Ah!!! It's so annoying!!"
Korrina was furious on the spot, holding his head and jumping on the spot.
It was not easy for her to survive in the melee between the three of them, save her strength, and defeat the big ice cube of Uncle Wulfric! But she was dragged into the water again!
What kind of hellish difficulty is this!
The third African chief appeared, also a blond girl.
Barry's friend, Xuanxiang!
"Still, I still need to fight."
Xuanxiang looked at the screen, her shoulders slumped down, and then she looked at Barry, who was posing crazily in front of the camera not far away, and felt her eyes go dark.
"Come on, no more, no more."
Similar to Dawn, she is also one of those who has solid strength but is not top-notch. She was picked up by luck and certain tactics in the melee between three people.
I originally thought that reaching the top 16 would be regarded as an honorable retirement. At least I would have a ranking and I could brag about it when I went back. But...
Looking at the four people who had been resurrected, she felt that she could beat a dozen of them except for Barry, that mean yellow guy.
The chances of winning for the other three are at most 20% (80% no chance).
Under the gaze of countless eyes, the last quota for the non-chief was slowly determined.
Black hair, gentle and smiling face, calm and deep eyes.
"..."
Xiaoyun looked at himself on the screen and sighed after being silent for two seconds.
Sure enough, he had never won any good prizes in his life other than a second bottle or a thank you for your patronage, but he never missed anything that had anything to do with luck.
Drawing cards to guarantee a minimum is normal.
Now I drew the "lucky one", and sure enough I won.
The last four non-chiefs were identified as: Zhimi, Korrina, Xuanxiang, and Xiaoyun.
"Okay! The lucky ones are all in place! The next step is to randomly shuffle the groups! Decide which four will compete together!"
Diantha clapped his hands.
The eight avatars on the big screen began to reorganize, and finally settled into two grouped lists.
[The first group of four melee]:
Flint, Lucian, Korrina, Zhimi.
[Second group of four-person melee]:
Barry, Elesa, Xuanxiang, Xiaoyun.
As soon as the grouping results came out, there were mixed reactions on site.
The first group can be called the group of death.
Although Korrina is not weak in strength, facing two experienced kings who have a tacit understanding of cooperation, the pressure is great.
Over in the first group, Zhimi and Korrina looked at each other, and both saw solemnity in each other's eyes.
Zhimi smiled bitterly and shook his head, "This group really looks up to me."
Korrina clenched his fists, but his eyes were filled with fighting spirit. "Whatever! Just fight! The worst is a loss! But you have to lose beautifully!"
Flint grinned. "Old rules?"
Lucian pushed up his glasses. "Well, it's the same old rules."
They are both colleagues and partners, a perfect combination in Double Battle.
In the melee between the four, their strategy was also very clear. To focus on foreign affairs, they must first settle their internal policies and deal with the outside world in a unified manner.
Volkner's eyes became even more resentful.
If he partners with Flint, the effect will definitely be better.
The second group appears to have a somewhat strange style of painting.
The supermodel gym owner, the comedian trainer, the ambiguous friend of the homophonic trainer, and the previous champion?
Xiaoyun looked at the list of his group, especially Barry, and turned to look at Barry who was still excited not far away, and couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Barry was immersed in the joy of successful resurrection when he suddenly felt a malicious gaze and turned his head to meet Xiaoyun's eyes that were half-smiling but not smiling.
Just like Wang Chan who was attracted by Old Demon Han.
Xiaoyun: comebaby! Go to the SPA!
Barry: Don't come over!!
This is almost the case.
The smile on Barry's face collapsed, and in the end she pulled the corner of Xuanxiang's clothes next to her without tears:
"Boss, please take care of me."
For some reason, Xuanxiang felt a little happy and hummed softly. "Well... it depends on your performance."
On the other side, Elesa flipped up her long, silky hair and walked up to Xiaoyun with model steps:
"Xiaoyun, we meet again, do you want to consider forming a team first? Let's deal with those two first."
"No, Barry and I have known each other for a long time. Barry is my dearest relative, friend, and brother."
Xiaoyun's expression was a little reluctant.
Elesa's expression was a little playful. "Oh? Would the champion of the previous tournament care about this?"
"No, I mean."
Xiaoyun paused, and suddenly smiled and said, "The key point to start with!"
Elesa:"..."
This man seems to be a bit sinister.
The next day, morning.
After a night's rest, the first four-person melee officially started!
The battlefield was changed to a larger circular venue suitable for multi-person melee.
Four people, Flint, Lucian, Korrina, and Zhimi, stood in four directions of the venue.
The referee loudly announced the rules, "Four-person melee! Only one Pokémon can be used! The last trainer standing on the field advances! The game begins!"
Almost as soon as the referee finished speaking, the situation on the field became clear.
Although it was a four-person melee, Flint and Lucian, Zhimi and Korrina almost unanimously chose to join forces temporarily!
In the face of certain and powerful external threats, it is the wisest choice to temporarily put aside internal competition and deal with the common enemy first.
"Go ahead, Magmortar!"
"Please, Medicham!"
