Galar, Wyndon Stadium.
The sky was clear, the auditorium was already crowded with people, and colorful flags were flying.
At this moment, the final substitution match of the Masters Eight battle is about to begin.
The 8th ranked Alain will face the 9th ranked Paul.
The electronic screen was hung directly above the arena, with Rollout displaying the avatars of both sides.
"This ranking is a bit interesting."
Xiaoyun was sitting on the VIP seat with the best view, holding a glass of iced juice in his hand.
He remembered that not long ago, Alain was still struggling in the 10th place of Great Ball. After failing to challenge himself, the ranking must have dropped quite miserably.
As a result, how long has it been? He actually fought his way back and successfully squeezed into the battle for the last seat of Masters Eight.
This is Xiaoqiang who can't be beaten to death.
"After all, Alain is also a very strong trainer."
Ash, who was sitting next to him, took over.
At the same time, Ash also defeated Raihan and successfully scored Masters Eight.
At this moment, the Masters Eight list has basically taken shape:
1st place: Leon.
The eternal undefeated champion sign is shining in the sun.
No. 2: Xiaoyun.
Sinnoh champion, master tactician, king of connections, collector of mythical beasts, etc. There are so many titles that you have to take a breath after reading the commentary.
3rd place: Steven.
Stones are an eternal romance, but it's also good to play with each other occasionally - my own words.
No. 4: Crossing.
Messenger of the dragon, come and report! Let the world feel Dragon Rage!
(Xiaoyun: No, you are Doduo, Flying-type Elite Four.)
No. 5: Diantha.
Elegant and timeless, the battles should be as exciting as filming a movie, and every shot should be picturesque.
No. 6: Iris.
The power of the dragon is the best!
(This is the real Dragon-type, not a cosplay.)
No. 7: Ash from Pallet Town.
I want to be a Pokémon Master man!
The last one will be born between Alain and Paul.
Compared with the original work, the biggest change is that Cynthia himself does not enter Masters Eight.
In this regard, Cynthia himself said:
"Do you understand retirement life? Just fill up the gas and play games? Even dogs won't go!"
After saying that, he immediately changed his words, showed a dignified smile, and quickly added.
"Oh no, Xiaoyun is playing very well, keep up the good work! Don't embarrass me Sinnoh!"
Because Cynthia feels that there are already enough Sinnoh people in Masters Eight, and besides, she is not the champion now.
I am happy to be free and enjoy my retirement life with peace of mind. I occasionally come to watch a game and enjoy being an elegant spectator and a complainer.
At this moment, the elegant former champion was sitting on the other side of Xiaoyun, crossing her slender legs and holding a cup of steaming black tea in her hand, as if she were an aristocratic lady coming to watch an art exhibition.
Well, actually based on this person's family background, it doesn't seem too much to call her a eldest lady.
"Speaking of which, Ash, when did you win Raihan?" Xiaoyun asked curiously.
Raihan is not weak, especially in Galar's home court, Dynamax is so powerful.
Is it so easy to be cheated by Ash alone?
"Just a few days ago! Dragonite and Dracovish performed very well!" Ash's face was full of pride, and his nose almost turned to the sky.
"Pretty good."
Xiaoyun nodded, but in his heart he was thinking that he was treating Raihan as an experience baby, and anyone could step on him.
Galar officially designated promotion pedal, experience gift package.
(Raihan: Are you polite?)
"How did Elite Four from Paul do?"
Cynthia elegantly tucked a strand of blond hair behind her ear and asked casually.
She still remembers the cold face of Paul when he took over from Elite Four.
It's been so long, I think I've been tainted by work.
"Great, Lucian is a good product after using it."
Xiaoyun showed a subtle smile.
Recently, he and Paul came out to play a game, and Lucian returned to his long-lost overtime life.
I believe no one misses Paul more than Lucian.
(Lucian: Paul brother, please come back quickly! The mountain of documents is crushing me to death!)
(I want to fish! I want to read novels! Especially the one about my childhood sweetheart)
"Mr. Lucian, it's not easy either."
Dawn couldn't help but laugh. Working overtime Elite Four, this name is so loud in Sinnoh.
"Paul is so awesome."
Ash is scratching his head, it turns out that strong work ability is the mainstream?
While the four of them were chatting, in the battle field below, two players had already walked out of the passage.
On one side, is Alain wearing dark casual clothes and a blue scarf tied casually around his neck.
In the audience seats at the back, Mairin and Chespin were cheering him on desperately.
"Alain! Come on! If you win, I'll treat you to a big dinner tonight!"
Mairin waved his little fist, jumped on his feet and shouted.
"Li! Li Li!" Chespin also shouted and jumped, raising his short hands hard.
On the other side is Paul, who is wearing neat purple training clothes and a stern expression.
He walked to the fighting position, crossed his arms across his chest, and glanced sharply at Alain opposite him, his aura fully aroused.
"Paul, this guy is still so expressionless."
Ash muttered, don't tell me, he is really used to Paul's unfeeling look.
"Well, let's just call this professional."
Xiaoyun explained seriously.
To be honest, he now feels more and more that the temperaments of Paul and Brandon are closer.
Even if you dye your hair, you can become a father and son.
(Reggie: Huh? What about me?)
The referee walked to the center of the field and raised his hands to signal for silence.
"Now, let's start the Masters Eight ranking battle, the last battle for seats!"
"The two sides are: Alain player ranked 8th, and Paul player ranked 9th!"
"The rules are 3 versus 3 Single Battle! When all three Pokémons on one side lose their ability to fight, the game ends!"
"Then, let's start the game!"
Following the referee's order, the audience erupted into cheers and shouts like a roaring tsunami!
"Mr. Paul, please give me more advice." Alain nodded slightly and spoke solemnly.
He knows the strength of Paul, and there is no doubt that this will be a tough battle.
"Please give me more advice."
Paul just replied lightly, and then took the lead in throwing out Poké Ball!
"Metagross, prepare to fight!"
Bang! Silvery white light flashed!
A huge Pokémon with a blue body, limbs like metal pillars, and a heavy Pressure, landed with a crash!
The ground shook.
"It's Metagross! Player Paul sent out Metagross, steel and Psychic-type's Pseudo-Legendary!"
the commentator shouted excitedly.
"Wow! Is it Metagross right from the start? So impressive." Ash's eyes widened and he leaned forward.
"This Metagross has been bred very well."
Cynthia nodded slightly, with a sharp professional eye.
"After all, it was kindly sponsored by Mr. Steven."
Xiaoyun smiled. Paul It was really not in vain to follow Steven during that period of mining. There were a lot of good things.
"Well, then it's not surprising."
Cynthia Clearly.
If it's Steven, that's normal. That young man is super rich, right?
If you have all your belongings, you can buy a Diancie.
(Steven: Oh! Is it really possible?)
"What will Alain do to deal with it?"
Dawn looked at Alain curiously.
On the field, Alain took a deep breath and also threw Poké Ball:
"Go! Tyranitar!"
"Ban roar--!!!"
With a deafening roar, a gray-green giant beast appeared in the field!
Yellow sand spurted out from the hole in the back, instantly forming a terrifying Sandstorm that enveloped half of the venue!
Strong winds rolled up sand and gravel, and visibility plummeted!
Sand Stream! Start!
"Another Pseudo-Legendary! Facing Metagross from player Paul, player Alain also sent out Pseudo-Legendary Tyranitar!"
The commentator's voice was extremely high.
The opening scene is Pseudo-Legendary versus Todoroki! It's so exciting!
"Wow! Now there's something good to watch!"
Ash is even more excited.
"Tyranitar, Stone Edge!"
Alain attacks first.
"Ban roar!" Tyranitar raised his foot, and the giant foot like a battering ram stepped heavily on the ground!
Bang bang bang!!!
Countless sharp rocks sprouted out of the ground like mushrooms after rain, sweeping towards the direction of Metagross!
"Metagross, Meteor Mash!"
Paul calmly ordered.
"Mellon!"
Metagross's eyes flashed with blue light, and the giant metal pincers on his forelimbs instantly lit up with a dazzling silver-white metallic luster!
Punch out at the incoming sharp stone!
Bang bang bang bang bang--!!!
Wherever Meteor Mash passed, the sharp stones exploded like pins hit by bowling balls!
Stone chips are flying all over the sky!
Metagross's body showed amazing agility, like a heavy tank turning on nitrogen to accelerate, facing the baptism of stone rain, heading straight towards Tyranitar!
"What a powerful force! Such a reckless fighting style!"
Alain was secretly frightened, but he was not slow in commanding:
"Tyranitar, use Fire Punch!"
"Ban roar!"
Tyranitar roared, raised his thick arm, and his fist ignited with flames. With a scorching wave of air, he punched the charging Metagross!
Fire Punch!
"To avoid it, use Iron Head."
Paul's voice is still dull.
Metagross At the moment when the collision was about to happen, his body stagnated strangely, and then suddenly rose up!
At the same time, its huge cross head lit up with dazzling silver light.
Iron Head!
"Ban!"
Tyranitar punched nothing, and before he could react, his head was hit hard by a huge force!
It roared in pain, its body was thrown backwards, and it almost lost its balance!
The force of this blow actually knocked Tyranitar, who weighed more than 200 kilograms, into almost performing a backflip!
"Now, Metagross, use Earthquake!"
Paul has a sharp look in his eyes and his ability to seize opportunities is textbook level.
"Mellon!!!"
Metagross's heavy body landed heavily!
Rumble, rumble--!!!
The terrifying Ground-type energy is centered on Metagross, spreading crazily around in a circular tsunami shape!
The ground rolled and heaved like waves!
Earthquake! The effect on Tyranitar is outstanding!
"Not good!" Alain's face changed drastically.
"Banhou~~"
Tyranitar let out a painful roar, and Earthquake energy Tackle hit it, causing it to fall heavily to the ground.
"Hiss--!"
The whole audience gasped.
"This Earthquake... the timing is so accurate! And the power is extremely strong!"
Ash was dumbfounded.
"I see the shadow of Granny Bertha." Cynthia raised his lips slightly. Granny Bertha is the master of Ground-type, and Paul seems to have been taught by her.
"However, Tyranitar probably hasn't fallen down yet."
Xiaoyun stared into the dust.
The durability of Pseudo-Legendary is no joke, especially for tanks like Tyranitar and Sandstorm.
Sure enough, in the smoke and dust, Tyranitar stood up unsteadily.
It was covered in wounds and its breath was weak, but the fierce light in its eyes was even stronger.
Sandstorm is still roaring around it.
"Tyranitar, use Dragon Dance!"
Alain gritted his teeth and said.
Since neither defense nor attack can take advantage, then strengthen yourself! Use offense instead of defense!
"Ban!!"
Tyranitar Feet Bulldoze the earth, roaring more violently towards the sky!
The dark red turbulent air flow coiled up from its body, as if it was surrounded by the shadow of a dragon!
Its momentum begins to rise!
"Oh, Dragon Dance~"
Xiaoyun subconsciously looked at Cynthia.
"Xiaoyun, there's something wrong with your eyes."
Cynthia narrowed his eyes. Although Xiaoyun didn't say a word, he could read the presumption in his eyes.
This guy is very bad.
"Haha, what, there's sand in my eyes."
Xiaoyun quickly typed haha.
Unfortunately, I forgot that the real person was right next to me.
"I won't give you a chance, Metagross, use Flash Cannon!"
On the field, Paul said coldly.
Reinforcement? It doesn't exist.
"Mellon!!"
The cross pattern on Metagross's face lights up, and a silver light cannon that is extremely condensed shoots out!
Flash Cannon!
"Block it with Rock Slide!" Alain shouted urgently.
Tyranitar roared, and several huge rocks quickly condensed in front of him, stacking them together to form a simple rock shield!
Boom!!
Flash Cannon blasted on the rock, exploding rubble all over the sky!
"Just hold the stone and rush over with Fire Punch!"
The instruction Alain follows closely.
"Ban!"
Tyranitar actually used Superpower to carry the pile of broken rocks, like a dump truck in the dark, rushing towards Metagross!
"Meteor Mash!"
Metagross did not retreat but advanced, the silver-white metal giant claws lit up again, and punched out!
Point to point!
Boom bang--!!!
This time the collision was even more violent! The air wave temporarily dispersed all the surrounding Sandstorm!
"Use Crunch!!" Alain roared.
Tyranitar took advantage of the situation and opened its bloody mouth. The dark black Dark-type energy formed a ferocious energy fang and bit down hard on Metagross!
Boom bang--!!!
Another explosion! Metagross was pushed backwards by Dark-type's ultimate move at close range.
"Dragon Dance's bonus is so powerful?"
Ash was thinking about letting Dracovish learn one too.
Dragon-type should be able to learn it.
"Tyranitar, Fire Punch!"
Alain wins Pursuit!
Tyranitar's other fist ignited flames and hit Metagross again!
"Metagross, use Psychic!"
The voice of Paul sounded.
"Mellon!"
Blue light flashed in Metagross's eyes, and the terrifying Inner Focus exploded!
"Tyranitar is Dark-type, immune to the power of Psychic type."
Alain reminded him kindly, thinking that Paul had hit his head and forgot about attribute restraint.
"I know, I have no intention of attacking Tyranitar itself."
Paul responded, how could he not understand the basics of a trainer like the attribute restraint table.
What does he think he is? Ash who just debuted?
At the VIP table, Ash, who was cheering for Paul, felt inexplicably that he had been cricketed.
