Xia You walked out of the arena and met Li Jia and others outside the venue.
Although he successfully advanced to the semi-finals, both Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia have been eliminated and cannot continue to participate in the competition.
Now that he was the only one left, all the hopes of several people were focused on him alone.
To be honest, this was something that neither Xiaozhi nor Xiaoxia, who were full of confidence before the game, had expected. Originally, they thought that by participating in such a local event, they could show off their skills and would definitely achieve better results!
Looking at it now, I still feel that I am not strong enough and have not been able to achieve the expected goals.
The two of them were inevitably a little discouraged by such a result, especially for Xiaozhi, it was indeed a blow.
After all, he has always regarded Xia You as the person he admires the most and is also his biggest competitor!
When he was traveling on the Orange Islands, like Xia You, he defeated Yuci one after another and became an honorary trainer of the Orange Alliance. This also made him think that he was once again on the same starting line as Xia You and could compete with Xia You. Showdown!
Especially after coming to Johto, he not only conquered many Pokémon during his travels, but also won the Grass-type Pokémon Championship, and won many victories in a series of other small competitions, which gave him a lot of confidence. Increase!
I am stronger than before! The gap with Brother Xia You is definitely getting smaller and smaller!
This is what Xiaozhi has believed in for a while, and this is also the reason why he dares to challenge Xia You in this cup!
Unexpectedly, after only a few games, the cruel reality brought him back to reality!
He once again stopped in the top 16 like he did in the Quartz Conference!
Although on the one hand, his opponent is Xiaoxia, and Xiaoxia is good at using water-type Pokémon, so he was unexpectedly defeated by her Duckling, but if you haven't fought before, you haven't fought before. All I can say is his strength. It's really not good, and there is no need to quibble.
Fortunately, he had always been generous and had already adjusted. What puzzled him was that Xiaoxia had just lost the game, so why did she look so happy? Instead, he looks radiant! ?
But no matter how much he asked, Xiaoxia just looked at him with a proud smile, without any idea of explaining! Only when she looked at Xia You, an inexplicable emotion seemed to flash through her eyes!
This change was so obvious that even he could feel it. Unfortunately, the simple Xiaozhi didn't know what the emotion was.
Not knowing the reason, he could only suppress the problem in his mind.
However, even though they were eliminated, the three of them had no intention of leaving here directly. Instead, they planned to wait until after watching Xia You's game tomorrow before continuing their journey.
After all, as friends, partners, younger brothers and competitors, they are naturally very concerned about Xia You's situation, and Xia You is still competing, how could they leave him alone!
After scratching his head, Xiaozhi turned to look at Xiaogang and asked: "Brother Xia You's games are all over today, right? What's the schedule for tomorrow?"
Xiaogang took out the manual issued by the previous cup competition and flipped through a few pages: "Let me take a look... according to the process, tomorrow morning will be the semi-finals, the top two players will be decided, and the final will be at one o'clock in the afternoon. , the final winner will be determined, which is the Brave of the Sea, and after that, there will be a blessing ceremony for the Brave of the Sea. If everything goes well, we will be able to leave here with the trophy and honor the day after tomorrow."
Just like Xiaoxia, Xiaogang, who has a certain understanding of Xia You, also firmly believes that Xia You will win the final victory.
After all, he knows very well that Xia Youke is completely different from Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia. He is the kind of person who is very strong in his own right and will not give his opponents a chance!
The most important thing is that they also know that Xia You owns the red Gyarados, how could he lose with it!
On the side, listening to the chatter and laughter of several people around him, Xia You felt particularly relaxed and comfortable at this moment.
After coming to this world, he was like a rootless duckweed for a period of time, without any care or support, but
Now, he has friends, partners, and lovers, and their trust and their love make him fall in love with the world more and more, and will undoubtedly make him stronger!
Under the blue sky, white clouds slowly drifted by, just like his mood at this time.
But somehow, Xia You always felt like she was missing something.
Thinking about it carefully, this competition was indeed too smooth and peaceful, just like when you are eating a delicious meal and find that some appetizers are missing, it feels like there is something wrong in it!
Why is this so?
Xia You was confused. It wasn't until he glanced at Xiaozhi that he suddenly realized that something was missing!
I mean, it turns out that the trio of Team Rocket who are inseparable from Ash are missing...
Without their troubles, this cup match would undoubtedly be a little less lively.
But those guys are people who don't want to be alone. They shouldn't be so calm when encountering such lively things.
Thinking about it, you know that they must be hiding nearby now, planning some big move!
…
In fact, Xia You was right.
The Rockets had indeed followed Xiaozhi and the others to the Whirlpool Islands early. The trio had even sneaked into the arena disguised as vendors. After the past few days of competition, they had already made a lot of money by selling popcorn and cold drinks. Pen.
Of course, making money is not their purpose. In fact, they have already set their sights on the scepter held by the great priest Maya!
The reason why they have not come out to cause trouble until now is precisely because their previous covert operation increased the number of guards on the viewing platform many times. Until now, they have not found the right time!
But as the game approaches, they have become more and more restless!
In the arena, the game is not over yet, and the two contestants are fighting fiercely for the last four semi-finals.
And in a corner of the auditorium that no one noticed, the Rockets trio, dressed as convenience store clerks, were crouching down and putting their heads together.
"Did you just see that?" Meowth whispered.
"Of course I saw it." Kojiro sighed, "We haven't seen each other for a while. That guy Xia You seems to have become stronger, and he defeated his opponent so easily. It seems that he must be the champion this time! Alas. , with him here, if we want to snatch the scepter again, the difficulty will definitely increase greatly!"
Hearing what he said, Musashi couldn't help but glared at him: "What? You want to give up!?"
Startled by Musashi's momentum, Kojiro quickly shrank his head.
"Of course...it's not...it's just that I think our plan should be more careful..."
"You two don't want to escape before the battle, do you?" Musashi half-squinted his eyes, and there seemed to be a cold light flashing in them. The warning was self-evident, "What can that guy Xia You do here? He is now We are busy with the game, how can we have time to meddle in other people's business!? And you two, don't be too afraid of him, we are the Rockets, how can you back down when you see him!"
Having said that, Kojiro was extremely reluctant to become an enemy of Xia You.
However, due to her intimidation, he and Miaomiao had to shake their heads quickly and deny: "Of course we are not afraid of him, we are just thinking...we stole the scepter to sell it for funds? But Haven't we made a lot of money these days? We shouldn't need to take such risks..."
Miao Miao also looked approvingly: "I mean, Miao...that guy Xia You is very difficult to mess with. We'd better stay away from him..."
"I think you have been frightened by him, right?" Musashi raised his head and glanced at Kojiro and Meowth, "I have made up my mind, I must seize the scepter this time! Look at the gold it has The same branches, especially the soul of the sea above, how beautiful! I am determined to win this operation, and neither of you is allowed to lose the chain! Ah ~ only I can be worthy of such a beautiful gem in the world! It! Hum hum, it exists just to make me more beautiful! Hahahaha~"
Musashi laughed wildly without caring about his image,
She has completely fallen into her own imagination, as if the soul of the sea has fallen into her hands!
Kojiro and Meowth have long been accustomed to seeing her like this. Although Musashi seems determined to win the Soul of the Sea, they are still a little worried.
When one person and one Pokémon looked at each other, they could see deep worry in each other's eyes.
Kojiro tentatively said: "But... the theft warning we left before did not seem to have the desired effect. Instead, it made them increase their vigilance..."
"This is the effect I want!" Musashi's eyes flashed, and he said confidently, "This is my brilliance! The stronger their security force and the more security personnel they have, the more they will feel safe." The more we will let down our guard at critical moments, and then! That’s our chance to take action!”
After hearing her explanation, Kojiro and Miaomiao suddenly realized.
"I see, you are so smart! So, all we have to do is wait?"
…
When the top four are all decided, the next battle list will be released immediately.
In the first half, Gao Mei faced off against a female trainer, while in the second half, Xia You faced off against the second most popular player named Azhe!
The winners of the two battles will compete in the finals tomorrow afternoon to determine the final Hero of the Sea.
After having dinner with Xiaozhi and the others, several people sat at the table in the restaurant and studied his next opponent together.
Because a large number of trainers were eliminated, many players did not stay to continue watching the game, but chose to leave directly, leaving many rooms in the Pokémon Center instantly vacant. Seeing this, Xia You simply checked out of the hotel and went with Li Jia lives here.
Although the sleeping environment has been greatly reduced, it also allows him to focus more on his opponents.
They watched Azhe's battle video several times, and based on his Pokémon performance, they quickly discovered a lot of things through everyone's comments.
Li Jia's knowledge, Xiao Gang's analysis, Xiao Xia's vision, and Xiao Zhi's flash of inspiration. Together, these people basically didn't need Xia You to take action. They discussed a lot of things simply, and almost destroyed Azhe's background. My pants were also exposed.
This made Xia You feel a moment of silence for Azhe.
In terms of strength, Azhe is on par with Gaomei, maybe a little stronger, but he will definitely not be his opponent. In addition, Xiaozhi and the others have analyzed almost all the advantages and disadvantages of his Pokémon. They were all found!
It has to be said that with the help of these people, Azhe's winning rate has plummeted. Unless his Pokémon performs abnormally, it is almost impossible for him to defeat himself!
Yes, that’s how confident you are!
That night, both Gao Mei and Azhe had trouble sleeping, barely getting any rest. Only Xia You slept soundly.
[An app that has been running stably for many years, comparable to the old book-chasing tool, used by all old bookworms.
Send out two Pokémon.
Facing Xia You's Water Arrow Turtle, Azhe sent out a Swamp King to deal with it.
Through his previous game videos, Xia You found out that this Swamp King had appeared many times in the game and had very strong strength. It was almost as good as Ah Zhe's other Pokémon, and together they helped Ah Zhe successfully enter. Semifinals.
As a Pokémon with water and ground attributes, Swamp King has a slightly fat blue body that is always slippery. Its two black dot-like eyes look dull and look different from those of Baidu. Becoming weird is somewhat similar.
Normally, Swamp Kings have a somewhat leisurely character. They will open their mouths in the water and wait quietly for food to happen to jump in. Because they don't move much, they are not very hungry.
Because their senses are a little slow, sometimes even if they bump into something, they don't care at all.
But don’t underestimate them!
Pokémon like Swamp King are inherently stronger, and in the hands of a trainer, their power can be unleashed even more!
