After the smoke and dust dispersed slightly, everyone looked towards the field.
Empoleon knelt on one knee. Dual Wingbeat was charred black and had many scars on its body, but it still stood upright with unyielding eyes.
And on the ground in front of it, a ten-meter-long ravine was plowed, which was the trace of it using its body to forcefully resist Tackle and retreat.
It blocks.
Zebstrika and Luxray were also knocked back by the Tackle wave of the explosion, and each had scars on their bodies.
Especially Zebstrika, which was closest to the center of the explosion and was seriously injured.
The energy finally detonated when it got close, and all three Pokémon were affected.
Ayaka is a little stunned.
Barry did not immediately take back Empoleon, but rushed to it first, squatted down and patted its head gently:
"Good job, man. Get some rest."
After Empoleon responded, he took out Poké Ball and took it back.
After doing all this, he showed his iconic smile again and gave Ayaka a thumbs up:
"How's it going? Uncle, am I okay with this move? The rest of it really depends on you."
Ayaka's smiling face was extremely bright, and his heart beat rapidly for no reason.
This guy obviously lost, why can he still laugh so heartlessly? He obviously worked so hard just now.
It seems, it's not that out of tune.
"Idiot..."
Ayaka shook off the messy thoughts in his mind, and his eyes became sharp again:
"Absol, deal with them now! Dark Pulse!"
Absol held on to his injuries and condensed dark energy fluctuations from his mouth, blasting towards Zebstrika!
It saw that Zebstrika was the most seriously injured, and planned to deal with one first.
"Zebstrika, Thunderbolt!"
Elesa said urgently.
Zebstrika barely condensed Spark, but the injury affected its performance. Thunderbolt's power was greatly reduced. After colliding with Dark Pulse, the aftermath still hit it.
"Then Sucker Punch!"
Absol turned into a white light, appeared next to Zebstrika in an instant, and slapped it with a claw!
Zebstrika whined, finally unable to hold on any longer and fell to the ground unconscious.
"Zebstrika has lost the ability to fight!"
The referee announced.
Now, only Mega Absol of Ayaka and Luxray of Xiaoyun are left on the field.
Ayaka looked at Luxray and gritted his teeth:
"Absol, Night Slash!"
She knew that Luxray was in better shape than Absol, but she couldn't retreat. She couldn't waste the opportunity that Barry worked so hard to create.
Mega Absol turned into a white light and went straight towards Luxray!
Xiaoyun shouted, "Luxray, Iron Tail jump up!"
Iron Tail hits the ground hard, high Splash!
"Then Wild Charge!"
Luxray Howl sounded, and an unprecedented golden Spark burst out from the whole body! Like a golden Flash, it hit hard!
Absol then use Night Slash to resist!
Click!!!
The collision of gold and white! The light shines again!
When the light dissipated, Mega Absol released his Mega form and fell to the ground unconscious.
Luxray is still standing in the center of the field with his head held high.
"The winner of this melee is player Xiaoyun!"
The referee's announcement brought an end to this fierce battle.
Applause and cheers came like a tsunami.
Ayaka took back Absol and sighed softly, "It's really annoying. I've been promoted before, but I was pulled down to play another game and lost."
Barry was stunned, looked up at her, and grinned. The smile was still hearty and a little silly:
"Anyway, it's not a loss for me. I can fight one more game, and I've seen such a powerful battle. It's worth it."
"But I am at a loss." Ayaka pouted, "I don't care, you have to compensate me."
"Compensation?"
Barry subconsciously hugged himself tightly, with a vigilant look on his face. "I, I don't have money, you don't want to..."
"You're overthinking it! I'll give you something beautiful."
Ayaka was so angry that he punched him.
"Then what do you want?" Barry rubbed the place where he was beaten, looking aggrieved.
Ayaka glanced at him, his eyes flickering. "Did you arrive before me Azoth Kingdom?"
"Ang, what's wrong?" Barry nodded.
"Um, Azoth Kingdom hasn't been transferred yet,"
Ayaka blinked:
"You can be a tour guide to take me around for free, and you can also help me get a fashionable haircut as compensation."
You get a ball head, you get it.
Barry was stunned for a moment, then he breathed a sigh of relief, "Hey, what did you think? It's such a big deal, I know all the fun things here!"
"Then let's go."
Ayaka turned around and walked towards the player tunnel.
"Okay!"
Barry followed up in a hurry, already starting to plan the route. "Um, let me tell you, there is an amazing dessert shop in the East District! There is a night market in the West City at night, which is very lively! And..."
In the audience, Dawn and Zoey looked at each other and saw excitement in each other's eyes.
"I hit you, I hit you!" Dawn clenched his fist.
"These two are definitely good at something!" Zoey nodded.
On the field, Xiaoyun looked at the backs of Barry and Ayaka leaving, and was silent for two seconds.
Barry obviously lost the game, why does it feel like he won?
Frustrated in the competition, proud in love?
But no matter what, this four-person melee ended in a way that no one expected.
Next, it's the top 16.
Diantha stood on the main stage again. She gracefully raised her hand to signal for silence.
"We have all gathered, now let's allocate opponents."
As soon as he finished speaking, the large central screen lit up with a buzzing sound, and the sixteen avatars began to be reorganized and disrupted at a dizzying speed.
Dawn stared closely at the big screen. Xiaoyun stood beside her and patted her shoulder gently.
There is no underdog among the top 16.
Those who can reach this point are either officially certified strong ones like Elite Four champion, or they are dark horses with special trump cards.
No matter who is drawn, it will be a tough battle.
The rotation speed of the avatars began to slow down, and the first group of battles slowly froze.
Ash VS Lucian.
"Oh?"
Lucian pushed up his glasses, a trace of surprise flashed through his eyes behind the lenses, and then turned into a gentle smile:
"It was Paul before, so this time it's little brother Ash?"
He remembered Ash and had seen Sinnoh Region when he was traveling. He was still a young boy at that time.
Different from the calm and cold style of Paul, this is a pure-blooded trainer who believes in bonds.
"Hahaha, Paul has overturned before, and this time it's Ash. I'm more optimistic about this guy, Lucian, don't overturn again."
Flint gloated and smiled, thinking this was too interesting.
"Hey, this is hard to say. Today's children are too curly."
Lucian Hearing this, he sighed helplessly, and the movement of pushing up his glasses showed a bit of vicissitudes of life.
He was really emotional.
The previous one, Paul, forced him to use all his cards, and finally lost to the invincible frame of Mega Evolution.
I may have worked too much overtime, and my brain is really a bit stiff.
Now there is another Ash. It is said that Kalos Region has also produced Bond Phenomenon like Xiaoyun, and its strength has improved by leaps and bounds.
It's hard to lead this generation of young people.
Flint looked at Volkner next to him and leaned over in a cowardly manner. "Volkner, what do you think?"
I sat and watched...Volkner cursed in my heart, folded his arms and said, "Well, this is indeed difficult to comment on."
He was quite impressed by Ash, not only because of Pikachu whose strength was a mystery, but also because of Ash's fighting style that could create miracles.
In previous battles, he had personally seen Ash use the seemingly weak Pokémon to make a comeback, and his combat intuition was terrifying.
The second group battles, the avatars are frozen.
"Alain?"
Paul raised his eyebrows slightly when he saw his opponent's name, and there was a trace of fluctuation on his face.
Previously, during Hoenn's Operation Two Gods, he and Alain formed a temporary team. Although they mostly fought on their own terms, they had some interactions.
In short, Paul's evaluation of Alain is very complicated.
Command Charizard to fuck Kyogre. Has he always been so brave?
But then I thought about it. In the previous competition, Alain could easily defeat Blaziken Mask. Maybe there was still some hidden strength in it.
Finally, I made a conclusion: he is an opponent worth fighting.
On the other side, Alain was also stunned when he saw that his opponent was Paul.
"It's actually him?"
Different from Paul's slightly different impression, Paul left a very deep impression on Alain.
With his calm commanding style and precise timing, he is an extremely difficult opponent in every aspect.
"Paul..."
Alain A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, and his eyes became sharp.
"It's not bad to accept this victory."
Only the strong are worthy of challenge.
The third group played against each other, and the avatars were frozen.
Xiaoyun VS Long Yu
"Long Yu?"
Xiaoyun looked at the familiar avatar on the screen, and he remembered this opponent.
In the last championship, they fought against a trainer who specialized in Dragon-type, which caused him a lot of trouble.
I didn't expect to encounter it again this time.
Grouping continues...
Steven VS Caitlin
Norman VS Pheobe
Diantha VS...
Groups of matches were announced one after another. Some people breathed a sigh of relief, some looked solemn, and some were eager to try.
Finally, it's the last group's turn.
Dawn Hold your breath and the avatar slowly stopped Rollout.
Opposite her portrait is a handsome man, who at first glance might have seemed like a woman.
It is Wallace.
"Nani!"
Dawn's eyes widened. She is going to fight Master Wallace now. Is it true?
She has a clear understanding of her own strength. Although she has made great progress during this period, Diancie and Floette are also very strong.
But against someone of Wallace's level, it was proven in the last battle.
80% no chance.
"Mr. Wallace, you are indeed a troublesome opponent."
Xiaoyun squatted down, patted Dawn's back, and spoke in a gentle and comforting tone.
Wallace, Jianghu jokingly calls him the champion gatekeeper, but no matter what gatekeeper he is, he is also a champion, and his strength is undoubted.
With Dawn's current strength, if he were assigned to a relatively ordinary Elite Four, he might still be able to play.
But Wallace... well, it's hard to say, I can only say that I'll try my best.
At this time, at the VIP table.
Wallace looked at the match list with a playful smile on his lips:
"Is it Dawn again? It's growing very fast. What surprise will you give me this time?"
Steven next to him glanced at him and said jokingly, "Little girl, please be merciful later."
"Have mercy? You don't understand, Steven."
Wallace smiled, and he looked at the girl who was being comforted by Xiaoyun with serious eyes:
"If it's this girl, please be merciful, but she'll end up in trouble."
The next day, morning.
The arena was packed, and the audience's enthusiasm almost set the dome on fire.
The central battle arena has been cleaned up, and two figures stand quietly in the shadows of the player tunnel.
On the left, Ash pressed the red brim of his hat, his eyes burning with pure fighting spirit.
Pikachu stood on his shoulder, the electric capsule on his cheek flashed with tiny electricity Ember.
On the right, Lucian has one hand in his trousers pocket and the other hand pushes up his gold-rimmed glasses, showing the calmness and calmness of an old artist.
"Oh ho, it's Mr. Ash, exciting!"
"Raleigh Calm down! This is a public place! You must pay attention to the image of the royal family!"
In the private room, Kimia quickly held down his brother with a helpless expression.
Raleigh rarely watched it before because he had no interest in Pokémon's battle.
But after watching a few shows, he realized that he had been pretending before.
Who said this battle is not good to watch? This battle is great!
It turns out that it's not that he doesn't like fighting, it's that he doesn't like noobs pecking each other.
No, as soon as the preliminary round ended, the prodigal prince directly bought a luxurious box for Xiaoyun and others so that they could watch the battle in more detail.
There are enough snacks and drinks in the private room, and the view is still the best in the whole room.
Xiaoyun was very satisfied with Raleigh's sensible attitude. He leaned on the sofa with his legs crossed and ate fruit with a happy expression.
This kind of treatment should be given more. He may not accept it, but you cannot help giving it.
We need to let the bad trends of society blow in~
At this moment, the referee stood on the high platform in the center of the field, holding the flag high:
"16 out of 8, first game! Player Ash versus player Lucian!"
"Game rules, 3V3! When all three Pokémons on one side lose their ability to fight, the game ends!"
"Players from both sides, please send your starter Pokémon!"
The moment the words fell, the two of them threw Poké Ball at the same time.
"Go, Gallade!"
"The decision is yours, Staraptor!"
Bang! Bang!
Two rays of light exploded.
In front of Lucian, Gallade landed gracefully. The blades on its arms shone with cold light, and Psychic-type's energy was faintly fluctuating around its body, its temperament was calm and sharp.
Ash Here, Staraptor spreads its wings and roars, its sharp eyes are fixed Lock-On Gallade, and the flapping of its wings brings up bursts of air.
"Oh? Flying-type starts the game, do you want to use air suppression to quickly open up the situation?"
Lucian pushed up his glasses.
"Yes, that's it!"
Ash's answer is concise and powerful, all of which must be done head-on and magnanimously.
This magnanimity made Lucian stunned, and a smile appeared on his lips:
"But in terms of implementation, it's not that simple."
"Gallade, Teleport then Psycho Cut!"
Phew!
The figure of Gallade disappeared in a flash, and the next moment it appeared above the side of Staraptor! The blades of both arms lit up, and they were cut across each other!
As fast as Flash!
"Staraptor, use Quick Attack to avoid it! Then use Brave Bird!"
Ash reacted very quickly, and the command was shouted out almost as soon as Gallade appeared.
"Muke!!"
Staraptor turned into a ray of white light, squeezing the edge of the blade to avoid it, and then turned around, his whole body ignited with azure flames, like a burning meteor, and slammed into Gallade who had just landed!
"Protect."
Lucian's voice was calm and waveless.
The light green shield unfolded in front of Gallade, and Brave Bird finally hit the shield with Sturdy, making a muffled sound.
The shield trembled violently, but it did not break after all.
"That's it now, Psycho Cut!"
At the moment Protect disappeared, Gallade crossed his arms, and a solid pink light blade slashed out, directly hitting Staraptor's chest!
"Block it with Steel Wing!"
Staraptor Dual Wingbeat had a metallic luster and crossed in front of him.
Bang!
Psycho Cut slashed at Steel Wing, causing sparks to fly! Staraptor was knocked back several meters and let out a cry of pain.
"Continuous Leaf Blade, don't give it a chance to breathe." Lucian's offensive is like a tide, one wave after another.
Click! Click! Click!
Gallade's body is like electricity, and Leaf Blade turns into a sky full of sword light, completely covering Staraptor!
Staraptor tried his best to block with Steel Wing and Scratch, but Gallade's attack was too fast and dense, and he soon had several wounds on his body, with feathers flying.
"Staraptor, disrupt it with Double Team!"
Staraptor's figure flashed, and seven or eight clones instantly appeared, flying around on the field, making people dizzy.
"How dare you try your best even if you are a trivial person." Lucian's eyes narrowed, and then he shouted:
"Gallade, Psychic!"
A blue light flashed in Gallade's eyes, and the invisible Confusion field spread, instantly Lock-On Staraptor's body.
In front of Psychic-type experts of Lucian's level, Double Team's interference techniques have limited effect.
"Sacred Sword, end it."
Gallade teleported again and appeared in front of the real body of Staraptor. The double blades merged. Fighting-type's energy gathered crazily and turned into a bright lightsaber to slash down!
"Staraptor, use Brave Bird to attack!"
Ash gritted his teeth and chose the most passionate style of play.
The azure flames collided with the bright sword light!
Boom!!!
Amid the explosion, Staraptor flew backwards and fell heavily to the ground. He struggled twice but failed to get up again.
"Staraptor has lost the ability to fight!" The referee raised the flag.
