The next day, semifinals, Wyndon Stadium.
The opening draw instantly brought the atmosphere to a new boiling point.
The auditorium was already packed with people, and the atmosphere was even more lively than yesterday.
Because everyone knows that today's game will determine who can stand on the top of the world in the finals.
On the huge screen, four avatars were paired in pairs, and the results were clear at a glance.
Game 1: Xiaoyun VS Ash!
Game 2: Leon VS Diantha!
Leon turned to look at Diantha next to him. "It seems like we don't have to play first."
Diantha smiled and said:
"Yeah, I'm looking forward to their matchup more than us. It must be interesting."
At the VIP seat, Dawn looked down:
"Xiaoyun and Ash are going to face each other."
"How many times have these two guys fought since Sinnoh to now?"
Barry thought about it and then gave up.
Anyway, that's enough, Ash is an unbeatable Xiaoqiang, and no one except him has fought that guy Xiaoyun so many times.
Serena held his hands in front of his chest. "Ash... Come on."
Iris waved his fist vigorously and shouted with full energy, "Ash! Bring out the Vital Spirit that we fought against yesterday! Let Xiaoyun see how powerful you are!"
Cynthia leaned lazily on the back of the chair. "Ash, that kid, has made progress in the past few years Extreme Speed. If Xiaoyun dares to underestimate the enemy, he might overturn."
Watari crossed his arms. "I want to see what the champions of Alola and Sinnoh can do."
"Mr. Du, you look very resentful."
Diantha glanced at him with a smile.
Watari: "... I didn't."
"You have." Lorelei was doing some damage next to him.
Du: "That's enough for you!"
On the field, two trainers are already in place.
Ash stood in the fighting position. "Xiaoyun! I have been waiting for this day for a long time! Today, I will defeat you here in a dignified manner!"
Xiaoyun put his hands in his pockets and raised his eyebrows when he heard this:
"Oh, your tone is not bad. It's different when you become the Alola champion. You have the confidence to speak."
"Of course!"
Ash clenched his fists. "Pikachu also said that we must win today!"
"Pikapi!"
Pikachu nodded vigorously, and the electric capsule on his cheek crackled.
"Have ambition."
Xiaoyun smiled and nodded, with a hint of seriousness in his eyes. "Then let me see how much you have grown."
Off the field, the referee held the flag high, and after confirming that both sides were ready, waved it down!
"Masters Eight Semifinals, Game 1! Player Xiaoyun versus player Ash!"
"The rules are 3 versus 3 Single Battle! When all three Pokémons on one side lose their ability to fight, the game ends!"
"Then the game begins!"
"Gengar! The decision is yours!"
Ash was the first to throw Poké Ball.
"Kou Jie, Kou Jie!"
The purple-black Ghost type sprang out from Poké Ball, and Levitate was in mid-air, rubbing its two chubby hands, showing its iconic sly smile.
It was the Gengar who was "seduced by beauty" by Froslass in the previous competition!
At this moment, it seemed to have regained its strength, and its eyes were full of fighting spirit.
"Gengar... It seems that Ash wants to use speed and flexibility to disrupt my rhythm."
Xiaoyun throws Poké Ball calmly:
"Then, Hydreigon, prepare to fight!"
Bang!
A ferocious dragon with a dark blue body and three ferocious heads is suspended in the air, emitting a heart-stopping Pressure!
"Hydreigon...Xiaoyun, this guy really doesn't give me any face." Barry smacked his lips.
"This is in line with his style." Paul said expressionlessly.
"Gengar, Dark Pulse!"
"Kou Jie!"
Gengar put his hands together, and the purple-black Dark-type energy quickly gathered and turned into a twisted wave, blasting towards Hydreigon!
"Hydreigon, we also use Dark Pulse."
"Roar!"
Hydreigon's three heads opened their mouths at the same time!
Three purple-black Dark Pulse blasted out at the same time from three different angles!
It gathered in mid-air and turned into a thicker and more terrifying torrent of evil, facing Gengar's wave of evil head-on!
Boom boom boom!!!
Two Dark Pulse collided, but the three-in-one wave of Hydreigon clearly had the upper hand, directly crushing the wave of Gengar, and blasting towards Gengar with unabated momentum!
"Gengar, get out of the way!"
Ash shouted hurriedly.
Gengar ducked sideways in a dangerous way, and the terrifying torrent of evil blasted into the ground behind him, creating a big crater.
"Three heads firing at the same time are indeed powerful enough." Barry couldn't help exclaiming.
On the field, Ash continues to direct:
"Gengar, use Shadow Ball!"
"Kou Jie!"
Gengar rubbed his hands together, and a purple-black Shadow Ball quickly formed, and then was thrown violently, hitting Hydreigon!
"Dragon Pulse." Xiaoyun is still calm.
"Roar!!!"
The middle head of Hydreigon opened its mouth, the purple-red Dragon-type energy condensed in the mouth, and then a Dragon Pulse roared out, accurately blasting Shadow Ball in mid-air!
Boom boom boom!
Dragon Pulse crushes again! The explosive Tackle wave throws Gengar away!
"No, long-range bombardment is no match..."
Ash quickly thought of countermeasures, "Gengar, use Ice Punch! Close the distance, Close Combat!"
The figure of Gengar shuttled through the smoke and dust like a ghost, quickly closing the distance, and the white cold air condensed on the fist of his right hand!
Ice-type moves! You know everything!
"It's a good idea, but it's too naive."
Xiaoyun A smile appeared at the corner of his mouth:
"Hydreigon, Flamethrower."
The three heads of Hydreigon gathered energy at the same time, and orange-red light overflowed from the corners of their mouths!
Boom boom boom!
The next moment, three thick flame pillars, like three flame spears, blasted at the swooping Gengar from three different angles at the same time!
Perfect triangle blockade!
"Gengar!" Ash's face changed drastically.
"Kou Jie!!"
Gengar was engulfed in flames, let out a scream, and was blasted backwards by Tackle.
"Gengar, are you okay?"
Ash shouted worriedly.
Gengar struggled to get up and waved his hand to Ash, indicating that he could still fight.
"Ash's Gengar was suppressed miserably."
Cilan touched his chin. "Hydreigon's three heads cooperate so well. Gengar is no match for long-range bombardment, and is blocked by flames at close range..."
"At that time, Deino also became so strong."
Iris was also a little emotional. She still remembered the little Deino she saw at Village of Dragons, and now it has grown into such a ferocious quasi-god.
"It's not over yet! Gengar!"
Ash took Gengar back to Poké Ball, and Dynamax Band on his wrist burst into dazzling red light!
"Gengar, Gigantamax!"
"Koujie--!!!"
A crimson beam of light connects heaven and earth!
Gengar's body expanded crazily in the light, and a Gigantamax Gengar, which was nearly twenty meters in size, grinned with a huge mouth that seemed to be able to swallow everything, and was surrounded by an ominous dark purple mist, appeared!
Gigantamax! Gengar!
"Appeared! Gigantamax Gengar of player Ash! After a bad start, player Ash decisively chose to use Dynamax to reverse the situation!"
the commentator shouted excitedly.
"Were you forced to play Gigantamax at the beginning? Ash is in a bad situation."
Leon watched with interest.
Diantha said, "But this is also his chance."
On the field, Ash waved his arm with a rainbow of momentum:
"Gengar, Max Hailstorm!"
"Kou Jie!!!"
Gigantamax Gengar opened its huge mouth, and the terrifying Ice-type energy condensed in its mouth, and then turned into an icy blue light pillar several meters in diameter!
Wherever it passes, the air freezes and a thick layer of ice condenses on the ground!
"Quite decisive."
Xiaoyun waved his arm:
"Hydreigon, triple Flamethrower!"
"Roar!!"
The three heads of Hydreigon and the fiery flames of Spit Up converged into a thicker pillar of fire, facing Max Hailstorm head-on!
Boom boom boom!
The fierce collision of ice and fire!
Steam rose into the sky and filled the entire venue!
The power of Max Hailstorm is obviously superior. The ice-blue light beam continues to advance forward, and the flames begin to retreat!
"Gengar! Encore Max Hailstorm!"
Ash's eyes flashed with excitement.
"Kou Jie!!"
Gigantamax Gengar once again condensed ice blue energy, and the second shot of Max Hailstorm followed closely behind, with more power than the first shot!
"Hydreigon, triple Hyper Beam!"
Xiaoyun's eyes became sharp.
Hydreigon's three heads lit up with golden destructive energy at the same time!
Boo hoo hoo!!!
Then, three Hyper Beam blasted out at the same time!
Three golden beams of light converged in mid-air, turning into a thicker and more terrifying pillar of destruction, facing Max Hailstorm head-on!
Boom boom boom boom!!!
The collision of ice and light!
The entire arena is shaking! The energy Tackle wave spreads around, and the protective shield flashes crazily!
After a moment of stalemate, Max Hailstorm was finally blocked by Hyper Beam Sheer Force!
However, Hydreigon's physical strength was greatly reduced due to the continuous use of high-power moves, and even the simple Fly was somewhat unable to maintain it.
"Hydreigon's condition began to decline." Cynthia noticed this keenly.
Continuous high-intensity bombardment is also a great burden for Pokémon.
"But Ash's Gengar is almost reaching its limit." Paul said.
"It's not over yet! Gengar! The last move!!"
Ash poured all his faith and power into this blow, and swung his arm forward:
"Super Giant-Phantom Ghost!!!"
"Kou Jie!!!"
Gigantamax Gengar let out a deafening roar, and the huge mouth suddenly opened to the limit!
The terrifying purple-black Ghost-type energy spurted out from it like a tsunami, overwhelmingly sweeping towards Hydreigon!
"Hydreigon, defend with all your strength!"
Xiaoyun looked solemn.
"Roar!!!"
The three heads of Hydreigon simultaneously Spit Up Dark Pulse, Dragon Pulse, and Flamethrower. Three attacks with different attributes intertwined into a defensive network, trying to withstand the overwhelming shadow!
However, the power of super Max Move cannot be competed by ordinary moves after all!
The shadow swallowed up all Hydreigon's attacks like a tsunami, and then completely submerged it!
"Ho--!!!"
Hydreigon roared in pain, struggled in the shadows for a moment, and finally fell down helplessly.
"Hydreigon loses the ability to fight! Gengar wins!" the referee announced loudly.
"Won it! Player Ash successfully regained the victory with Gigantamax! The score is now 1 to 0!"
the commentator shouted excitedly.
Barry was a little surprised. "Ash, this guy did a good job!"
"Xinxi, win a victory!"
Ash clenches his fist, this is a rare occasion to defeat Xiaoyun, the first Pokémon!
This is a good start!
"Good job, Ash."
Xiaoyun took back Hydreigon, without much frustration on his face. "However, my second one is not so easy to deal with."
"Lucario, prepare to fight!"
Bang!
A blue-black toned figure appeared!
With slender limbs and sharp white bone spurs on his chest, he exudes a calm and powerful fighting aura!
Lucario! The brave man of Aura!
"Lucario!"
The moment Ash saw Lucario, his eyes became more solemn.
He himself has Lucario, especially in the hands of Xiaoyun, the combat effectiveness of this Lucario cannot be underestimated!
"Gengar, Ice Punch!"
Ash was the first to attack.
"Kou Jie!"
Although Gengar had just experienced a big battle, he still held on, his fists covered with frost, and he rushed towards Lucario!
"Lucario, Bullet Punch."
"Luca!"
Lucario's figure disappeared instantly!
The next moment, it had appeared in front of Gengar, its fist was covered with silver-white metallic luster, and it punched out at a speed that was difficult to catch with the naked eye!
Bullet Punch! Steel-type is the first move!
Bang!
Before Gengar's Ice Punch could swing out, Lucario's Bullet Punch hit it first!
"Kou Jie!"
Gengar was knocked backwards by the punch and did some somersaults in the air.
It struggled to stand up, but Lucario had already stepped forward again, condensing a light blue Bone Club made of energy in its hand!
"Lucario, Bone Rush!"
Lucario waved Bone Club, aimed at Gengar who had just climbed up, and struck down the stick hard!
Bang!!!
Gengar was hit directly by the powerful and heavy stick and fell to the ground. His eyes rolled around and he lost consciousness.
"Gengar loses the ability to fight! Lucario wins!" the referee announced.
"So... so fast!"
Iris exclaimed.
"Bullet Punch is a pre-emptive move, and Lucario itself is very fast. Gengar has no time to react in its exhausted state."
Cilan explained from the side.
Ash silently retracted Gengar: "Thank you for your hard work, Gengar, you have done a great job."
"The next decision is yours! Pikachu!"
"Pickup!"
Pikachu jumped off Ash's shoulders, and the electric capsules on both sides of his cheeks crackled.
"Are you using Pikachu now?"
Xiaoyun thinking
So what will be next?
Charizard? Or Greninja?
On the other side, Ash has already launched an attack, without giving him much time to think:
"Pikachu, Quick Attack!"
It's still the all-purpose Pikachu opening.
"Pickup!"
Pikachu turned into a golden lightning and rushed towards Lucario at an extremely fast speed!
"Lucario, Bone Club attack."
Xiaoyun commanded.
"Luca!!"
Lucario once again condensed energy Bone Club in his hands, assumed a defensive posture, and was ready to strike head-on when Pikachu approached!
