After the stinging jellyfish was defeated, the old man shook his head helplessly.
This is his strongest Pokémon. Unexpectedly, it still can't cause much trouble to Xia You, so it will be difficult to deal with next...
He also checked Xia You's lineup before the game and knew that Xia You also had a more powerful Gyarados, but now he couldn't even defeat the Water Arrow Turtle. It seemed that his journey to the cup competition should end here. .
He was really unwilling to do so. After all, he was already old and he didn't know if he could participate in the next cup. This time he finally made it to the top 16, which was his best result in several times.
But the gap in strength really made him feel despair. This feeling of powerlessness also made him truly feel that Xia You was indeed different from other players and was really very strong!
Really, why would a young man with such strength want to participate in this kind of competition?
With a slight sigh, he released the second Pokémon at the referee's urging.
When the blue light flashed, an octopus-like Pokémon appeared in front of Xia You.
This is Octopus Bucket, a pure water-type Pokémon. Its appearance is no different from the octopus on Earth. Its whole body is red, and there are two suction cups on each tentacle, which looks slippery.
They generally live in rocks or caves on the seabed. They like to dig holes and stay in caves or jars. Sometimes they will suddenly spray out ink to avoid strong enemies or wait for an opportunity to attack.
Although it looks soft and squirmy, it is different from its appearance. It has a hard head. It will wrap its tentacles around its prey so that it cannot escape. However, it will continue to slam into it until the prey completely loses its ability to resist, and then give it a final blow. hit.
Facing the old man's second Pokémon, Xia You neither needed nor had the desire to replace Blastoise, but sent it to continue fighting.
With the size of the octopus barrel, its tentacles cannot wrap around the huge body of the water arrow turtle, so this advantage cannot be used at all.
But fortunately, it also knows a few ice-type moves, so when it faces the Water Arrow Turtle, it is not completely powerless to fight back.
When the battle started, Octopus Barrel used the laser beam directly, trying to restrain the Water Arrow Turtle from a long distance with the ice element.
But in the face of such an attack, the Water Arrow Turtle can easily evade it by jumping directly from the stone pillar into the water. The power of the octopus barrel is not enough to freeze the entire huge battle field, and there is nothing that can be done against it.
The aurora beam only caused a section of the water to freeze. It only froze the waves that the Water Arrow Turtle jumped into into ice crystals, but it did not hit the target.
Especially when the Water Arrow Turtle approached from the water, Octopus Bucket couldn't even use ice-type moves.
In desperation, the old man could only let the octopus bucket dive into the water, trying to keep the distance by swimming in the water, while also looking for flaws in the water arrow turtle.
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
Affected by the thrust of the vortex, all the ink was pushed further and was successfully diluted!
The polluted water surface cannot be restored to its original state in a short time, but it is still much clearer, and without the protection of ink, the octopus bucket can no longer hide its figure!
Seeing this, the old man had no choice but to make a last-ditch effort and ordered the octopus barrel to wrap its tentacles tightly around the Water Arrow Turtle. However, the Water Arrow Turtle was very powerful and relied on its own heavy body to break free in just a few strokes.
At this time, Xia You also seized the opportunity of the two Pokémon being close by, ordered the Water Arrow Turtle to use several moves in a row, and finally knocked down the Octopus Bucket with a rocket headbutt.
The referee immediately announced the result of the game.
The audience burst into enthusiastic cheers when they saw Xia You easily defeating two of his opponent's Pokémon with just Blastoise.
Until now, whether it is popularity, strength, or handsome appearance, he is already a well-deserved seed player in the hearts of the audience. Every day, more and more people will focus on him, expecting him to win. champion!
Xia You waved to the audience and returned to the lounge.
Seeing him coming back, Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia stood up to congratulate him, but compared to Xiaoxia's heartfelt happiness, Xiaozhi's expression was somewhat lonely.
His companions and admired opponents all successfully advanced, but he was the only one who was eliminated. How could he calm down in his heart?
Fortunately, he has a carefree personality. After being upset for a while, he quickly put his worries behind him. Even before Xia You finished the game, he had returned to normal.
Xia You and the two of them left here together to join Li Jia and the others.
Since he and Xiaoxia successfully advanced to the top 8, today's game is not over. In the afternoon, the remaining eight people need to play two more games to determine the last two finalists.
And the chances of Xia You and Xiaoxia fighting against each other will undoubtedly increase greatly.
From a time point of view, the schedule this time is really tight, but there is really nothing we can do about it. After all, the Uzumaki Islands Cup is just a local event. If the time drags on too long and it is a waste of time, it is easy to miss those events. A trainer who travels around and prepares for the Silver Tournament.
And once these elite trainers are not involved, and only some old and weak people on the island are left, I am afraid that even if the number of participants remains unchanged, the average strength of the players will be much weaker. A sea hero has no prestige at all, and will even make the reputation of the cup worse.
Because there were only a dozen players left, the top 16 competition was over in just two or three hours.
When several people had not finished lunch in the restaurant, the grouping situation of the top eight was already freshly revealed.
But before Xia You and Xiaoxia could see who their opponent was, a young and beautiful woman had already walked towards them.
The woman is about 24 or 25 years old, with light makeup on her face, long red hair combed into a side ponytail, two large earrings like beads, a red T-shirt and a pink skirt.
When she came to the two of them, she first looked at Xia You curiously for a long time, then turned her attention to Xiaoxia.
"Are you Xiaoxia?"
Xiaoxia looked up at her with a confused look on her face, obviously not recognizing this woman.
"Yes, it's me. Who are you?"
As soon as Xiaoxia finished speaking, and before the woman could reply, Xiaogang, who was standing beside him, jumped up instantly and quickly came to the woman as if he had been shot by the God of Love.
"I know! I know!" Xiaogang's eyes seemed to turn into two red hearts, and he said excitedly, "You are the beautiful lady who won all the previous competitions easily!"
Xiaogang can fall in love with every beautiful lady he meets and remember their characteristics. I have to say that this is a very powerful talent.
The woman looked at Xiaogang in surprise: "Oh? Do you know me?"
"Of course!" Xiaogang took the woman's hand and knelt down on one knee, like a knight proposing, "
Except for the matches played by my friends, I have watched all your battles! After all, a beautiful lady like you shines so brightly no matter where she is! "
The woman obviously couldn't stand Xiaogang's sudden enthusiasm. She broke away from Xiaogang's hands, took a big step back, and cautiously stared at the small-eyed man in front of her.
Seeing Xiaogang's appearance, Xiaoxia couldn't help but raise her fist, hit him hard on the head, and dragged him back without any explanation.
"Sorry, please ignore this guy, his head is very abnormal!"
Xia You, Li Jia and Xiao Zhi on the side looked at each other and showed a wry smile.
For them, and even for Lijia, who is not very familiar with Xiaogang, this is normal, and Xiaogang even takes notes sometimes! If one day he doesn't pester beautiful women like ***, it will be abnormal behavior!
No longer paying attention to this man, the woman looked at Xiaoxia again.
"Let me introduce myself, my name is Gao Mei, and I am your opponent in the next battle!"
The next opponent?
Xiaoxia was stunned. She didn't expect that her opponent would come to her door. The look on her face immediately became serious.
But it was obvious that Gao Mei did not come with hostility. She smiled at Xiaoxia and said, "I also watched your competition before. You and your Pokémon work well together, and your intuition during battle is also perfect. I can see that." , you are indeed a powerful water Pokémon trainer, especially your Panda Duck, which is really interesting and left a deep impression on me!"
Xiaoxia's expression immediately softened when she heard that Gao Mei had such comments about her.
"Thank you. I appreciate the compliment!"
Gao Mei stretched out her hand, smiled and held it with Xiaoxia.
"I'm really looking forward to playing against you, so let's all give our best performance and work hard!"
After saying this, she turned her gaze to Xia You again, her eyes burning.
