Wednesday, clear skies.
The bright sunshine shines from the sky, illuminating the entire quartz sports ground.
Amid bursts of cheers, after a morning of duel, Group A has taken the lead in selecting two winners. As the lunch break passed, the focus of the audience once again focused on the two games in the afternoon!
At this moment, the main venue of the Quartz Stadium, which can accommodate 50,000 people, is packed with seats and is buzzing with people!
Compared with the small venue for the qualifiers, the scale here is more grand, and the number of spectators has also greatly increased. Countless figures are swaying around, and I just feel that no matter where I look, it is a very lively scene!
Ribbons, trumpets, balloons, and cheering sticks can be seen everywhere, and there is a festive atmosphere everywhere.
People were drinking Coke and eating popcorn, immersed in the biggest event of the year!
Xiaozhi's competition will be held at 1 p.m.
As a group of relatives and friends, Xia You, Xiaochun, Xiaoxia, Xiaogang, Hanako, Dr. Omu and others sat in the audience early, waiting for the game to start.
Next to my ears, the host used an impassioned voice to warm up and introduce the respective records of the two players. Then, amid huge cheers, Hiro entered the arena first.
However, just as the host was introducing Xiaozhi, as his words settled, after waiting for a long time, Xiaozhi was still not coming in!
The host was surprised at first, and then called out again and again, but after waiting and waiting, Xiaozhi still didn't show up!
At this time, not only the audience, but also the organizer of the Pokémon League did not expect this situation to occur!
The staff hurriedly went to the lounge to search, but Xiaozhi was nowhere to be seen.
"What's going on?" People looked at each other, and some viewers asked in surprise, "Where did the player named Xiaozhi go!?
"Who knows." Another person said, "You haven't shown up for so long. Could it be that you gave up?"
Although people are talking a lot, according to the rules of the conference, Xiaozhi cannot be disqualified unless it is the start time of the competition. Therefore, no matter how much the audience has opinions or is dissatisfied with Xiaozhi, they can only be patient and continue. wait.
In the audience, Hanako also had a sad look on his face when he saw the commotion around him.
"That kid, Xiaozhi, isn't he oversleeping like usual?"
"This is impossible." Xiaoxia shook her head, "In the early morning, he had breakfast with us, but after that, he seemed to have answered a phone call and hurried out with Pikachu."
"You haven't come back since you left?" Dr. Omu frowned after hearing this, "You're not in any danger, are you?"
Seeing Xiaoxia and Xiaogang, they were about to get up and look for Xiaozhi. Xia You shook his head at them.
"Let's wait a little longer. I think he must be entangled in something, but I believe that no matter what, Xiaozhi will definitely arrive in time at the last moment!"
In fact, there is no need to speculate too much about Xiaozhi's whereabouts. Team Rocket must be causing trouble!
However, Xia You doesn't want to get involved in this matter. After all, everyone's growth trajectory is different, and this is exactly the setback Xiaozhi needs to experience. Only by passing these tests will he become stronger and more mature. !
But as time went by, the audience became more and more impatient, and even Xiaoxia, Xiaogang and others became more and more anxious.
Just when the referee found Hiro and wanted to declare that he won without a fight, Hiro stopped him.
He begged the referee to further delay the start of the game. Seeing his sincere expression, the referee agreed to his request after discussing with the conference.
After all, in line with the principles of maximizing profits and excitement, neither the Pokémon League nor the audience inside and outside the venue hope that any player will advance easily because of the opponent's late arrival.
Finally, the referee agreed to postpone the game for another 10 minutes. After waiting hard, just as the time was approaching the deadline again, Xiaozhi finally arrived!
"Please wait!
"
Hearing Xiaozhi's voice, everyone in the venue raised their heads at the same time and looked towards the distant sky.
I saw a Bibi bird, pulling a meow-shaped hot air balloon, flying quickly from outside the stadium.
There was a damaged bicycle tied under the hot air balloon, and Xiaozhi was holding the rope with one hand, standing on the bicycle with Pikachu, looking anxious.
When the balloon landed steadily, Xiaozhi jumped down and onto the field.
The audience became slightly more interested in such a popular appearance, and their dissatisfaction with Xiaozhi seemed to be diluted a bit.
"finally come!"
Xiaoxia and others all breathed a sigh of relief, but Xia You noticed that, just as shown in the anime, Xiaozhi's Bibi bird was already panting from exhaustion because it was in a hurry to carry the hot air balloon. Unable to participate in the next battle.
And this is obviously bad news for Xiaozhi.
However, due to the delay, there was no extra time for Xiaozhi to rest. When the two players were ready, the referee directly announced the start of the game.
In the field, Hiro and Xiaozhi opened the Poké Ball at the same time.
When the blue light flashed, Hiro sent out a Butterfly, and Xiaozhi sent out his Squirtle.
According to the rules of the conference, starting from the fifth round, although it is still a 3V3 battle, the venue used by the players has become an ordinary venue on the dirt floor.
Although such a venue seems to have no characteristics and lacks surprises and surprises, it can better reflect the trainer's on-the-spot ability and the fairness of the game.
At this time, under the command of the two trainers, the two Pokémon had begun to fight. As the moves continued to attack each other, each other was damaged. For a while, no one took advantage.
Xia You touched his chin and looked at Xiaozhi for a while and then at Hiro for a while.
Now it seems that even though the two have become friends, it doesn't look like they have any intention of showing any mercy.
In fact, it is understandable when you think about it. After all, according to Xiaozhi's emotional intelligence, the more people he values, the more they can stimulate his fighting spirit and strength.
At this time, the fighting in the field continued.
The two Pokémon continued to struggle and pull...
But compared with several fierce battles in the qualifiers, the fight between these two Pokémon was too petty and not intense at all. The audience shook their heads frequently and were very dissatisfied with this performance.
Occasionally, there were boos, but it did not affect Xiaozhi and Hiro who were attentive at all.
After fighting back and forth for a while, finally, under Hiro's order, Baddie used sleeping powder. Squirtle was caught off guard and was sprayed in the face.
Now Squirtle swayed from side to side, lasting only a few seconds before falling straight to the ground and falling asleep!
