Chihong felt a little frustrated.
Although the current score on the field is only 1:0, in his heart, it is already 2:0.
The first defeat was the duel between Pikachu and Senbu, although in the end he took back Pikachu and stopped the loss in time before Senbu's loud noise.
But in terms of fundamental strategy, he failed completely.
The second time was the duel between Kirbymon and Zoroark. He thought he was in control of the situation and had Xia Chen under control.
But in the face of Zoroark's final double reward, all the previous calculations became a joke.
I have been looking forward to the battle for more than a year, but I ended up like this...
There are mixed feelings in Honghong's heart.
Even though I and my friends have grown so much during this year of traveling, why can't we still climb this mountain?
He suddenly felt that he had been living in Xia Chen's shadow...
No, I can’t continue thinking about it!
Chihong patted her cheek to dispel the unnecessary thoughts in her heart.
No matter what, we have to finish this game well.
Not only for myself and my friends, but also for Xia Chen.
Taking a deep breath, Red threw Bulbasaur's Poke Ball.
On the opposite side, Xia Chen, as expected, replaced Zoroark with Gardevoir. This was their tacit understanding.
The two elves can be considered to restrain each other. The poison type restrains the fairy type, while the super energy type restrains the poison type.
Undoubtedly, this is a fair duel starting from scratch with no one taking advantage.
"Bulbasa, parasitic seed!"
I don't know whether Xia Chen was waiting for him or just for backup. After Chi Hong's first command, Xia Chen responded: "Move over instantly, magic flame!"
…………
"Player Xia Chen was uncharacteristically aggressive in the duel with their third elf. He teleported and then connected with magic flames. It consumed a lot of energy."
The commentator whose voice recovered continued: "But magic flame is indeed a good choice, not only because the fire element can restrain Bulbasaur, but also because magic flame can also reduce special attack. This effect is quite practical."
"Teleported to avoid the parasitic seeds, and Gardevoir's magic flame hit! But with Bulbasaur's durability, it wasn't a big problem... Bulbasaur immediately responded with a sludge bomb, and Gardevoir tried to move to avoid the bomb. Didn’t escape..."
"Although it is a move of this type with double restraint, because the special attack was lowered by the magic flame just now, and Gardevoir's own special defense is extremely high, it also failed to do any damage."
The explanation suddenly became boring as he talked.
Why do you feel that compared to the exciting duels between the first two pairs of elves, this pair is a bit... upright?
She didn't say it explicitly, but everyone could feel the decline in the quality of the game.
So far, the two elves have used two moves each. Although there is nothing wrong with the use of each move, they are too mediocre.
Compared with the previous command and use of moves, it is simply a world of difference.
However, before the commentator could continue speaking, the calm battlefield suddenly became turbulent again.
Suddenly, two vine whips stretched out from Bulbasaur's broad back, thrusting straight towards Gardevoir, who was preparing to counterattack.
The vine whip stretched out unexpectedly, and Gardevoir, who was not far away from Bulbasaur, was immediately restrained by the vine whip like a dexterous snake.
Immediately, the bright red flowers on Bulbasaur's back shook, and a ball of pollen with a strange smell was released from it, floating towards Gardevoir, who was bound by the vines and could not move.
Hypnosis powder!
The real purpose behind the sludge bomb is forced hypnosis!
The hypnotic powder floated toward Gardevoir unhurriedly. With Gardevoir's speed, it would be difficult for the hypnotic powder to hit if it was in a normal state.
But at this time, her body was restrained by the powerful vine whip, and Gardevoir could not avoid it without using teleportation.
But if teleportation is used twice in a row, it means that Gardevoir will lose a huge amount of energy as soon as he appears.
Not a loss at all.
But Xia Chen is so easy to control, he immediately responded: "Blow the fairy wind back!"
The vine whip can restrain Gardevoir's body, but it cannot restrain the energy in her body.
The energy flowed instantly, and in just a moment, a nearly harmless fairy wind appeared in front of Gardevoir and blew directly forward.
Dispelling powder-type moves with moves like [Blow Up] is not a difficult technique, but the difficulty lies in reacting on the spot.
From the hypnotic powder floating out to Xia Chen's command in less than a second, this is what the trainer really needs to do for the elves during the battle.
…………
"Wonderful reaction! The red player's first attempt to attack failed. Gardevoir still held on to teleportation and did not use it. She used magic flames against the vine whip, hoping to force away Bulbasaur's vine whip restraints. . The fire burned along the vines towards the main body. In order not to get caught in the fire, Bulbasaur stopped!"
"Psychic shock! Gardevoir showed no mercy. The first thing he did after breaking free from the shackles of the vines was to use super-type moves to retaliate against his opponent. Bulbasaur was forced to respond with a sludge bomb. It was obvious that the damage caused by the mental shock was even greater. So powerful."
Xia Chen saw that Gardevoir had the upper hand in the attack with no surprise.
Magic flames reduce special attack on the one hand, and more importantly, Gardevoir's super-type moves are obviously more powerful than moves with other attributes.
And Bulbasaur is the less outstanding one among the three red generals.
One goes and the other goes, Bulbasaur is naturally no match as expected.
On the other side of the battlefield, Chihong's increasingly deep commanding voice reached his ears.
Xia Chen was silent.
Do it all at once, second time tired, third time exhausted.
After encountering continuous setbacks, even a mentally tough person like Chi Hong began to doubt himself.
After all, he is not the God of War of Silver Mountain yet. How can there be no ups and downs on the road to growth?
Hmm... Under the guidance of the elves, it seems that I have no troubles.
Forget it, if I haven’t experienced ups and downs, then let me be someone else’s ups and downs...
Xia Chen smiled like a devil.
"Gardevoir, black gaze."
Xia Chen said this while looking at the red hand on the elf ball at his waist.
The car door was welded shut, and Bulbasaur was completely left on the battlefield.
The hand can move instantly with a squeeze, and there is no pressure in the fight. Bulbasaur has no means to deal with Gardevoir.
Of course, Chi Hong is also thinking of ways, such as hiding sleeping powder in seed bombs, weaving vines into a shield to resist Gardevoir's attacks, and other tricks.
But Xia Chen is not stupid. Bulbasaur has a good seed bomb. How could there be nothing fishy in it?
As for that shield...I broke the King's Shield of the Strong Shield Sword Monster, not to mention your grass shield?
In the third matchup, Crimson was completely defeated again.
Throughout the game, he had been standing on the edge of a cliff.
…………
"2:0! Xia Chen's Gardevoir performed as steadily as ever. After retaining Bulbasaur with his black gaze, he no longer had any worries and defeated the opponent's second elf in one go. And the red player's morale It’s getting lower and lower, and there’s only one Pikachu left.”
"For the red players, the current situation is even more dangerous than that morning's semi-final. Two of the opponent's three elves still maintain good fighting capacity, while Pikachu was seriously injured in the previous battle."
"But after all, it is the red player who created the miracle of letting two chase three in the morning. We might as well keep some expectations. No matter who wins this game, he will break the history of Donghuang Youth Competition!"
"The first outside district champion in the history of the game, or... the youngest champion in the history of the game!"
On the battlefield.
The yellow-skinned rat appeared again, staring at Gardevoir with lightning eyes. His full energy and sufficient physical strength made him look like a brand new appearance. Xia Chen had to once again suspect that his characteristic was [Regeneration]...
All joking aside, the last red elf is still Pikachu, and he doesn't dare to take it lightly.
If this huge advantage is overturned, he will probably be nailed to the pillar of shame in the history of the competition forever, next to Hu Yang.
Xia Chen did not replace Gardevoir. She was in good condition and still had sufficient combat power. Even if she couldn't defeat Pikachu, she would still be able to seek opportunities to share her fate.
There is no need to play an ace showdown with Chi Hong, it is just a small final of the Donghuang Youth Competition.
This is the journey, not the destination.
After withdrawing his thoughts and looking at Pikachu who had already used lightning flash to rush over, Xia Chen said in a deep voice: "Predict...the future."
"Sana!"
Gardevoir responded, and a crimson light flashed in the hole in his left eye.
Then, on the red sharp corner on the chest, a ball of thought power containing wonderful energy sank into the air and disappeared.
…………
"With a huge advantage in hand, player Xia Chen played very steadily and released Future Prediction directly at his position. If Pikachu is still fighting with Gardevoir by that time, the extremely powerful telekinesis group will be there. There's an explosion here."
"As for the explosion time of this time bomb, only Gardevoir knows. Will this bring huge psychological pressure to Pikachu?"
"So far, at least not yet, Pikachu still tried to attack with Iron Tail first, and Gardevoir directly used teleportation to dodge without any hesitation, giving full respect to the opponent. However, she moved not far away, and she was still in the premonition Xia Chen should be fighting a positional battle here where the telepathy group will remain in the future."
"Pikachu refused to give up, and released a power grid with his backhand at the landing point of Gardevoir. It seems that Red still wanted to open a breakthrough by amplifying Pikachu's speed advantage. Gardevoir had no intention of avoiding it, and responded with... .Magic Leaf, player Xia Chen is too steady!"
"But even if it's just a magic leaf, the damage is still good. Time passes bit by bit, and the explosion that predicts the future is approaching. It can be said that the further back, the greater the psychological pressure on Pikachu. Does he want to prepare this area? ?」
"It's better to withdraw...then Pikachu can only consume Gardevoir's status through long-range moves such as One Hundred Thousand Volts or Thunder. Gardevoir ignored it and directly used meditation! In this way, One Hundred Thousand Volts will be more powerful. It’s hard to do damage.”
"The telekinesis group that predicts the future still hasn't exploded. If this hidden danger is not eliminated, it will be difficult for Pikachu to rush forward...Wait a minute, Pikachu rushed directly! Lightning flashed! The red player has figured out that this kind of disadvantage, the so-called steady attack has nothing to do with it. The chances of winning are that if you don't rush forward, you will only die slowly, but if you rush forward, you will have a glimmer of hope."
That's true, but there is only a glimmer of hope.
That is to survive the foreseeable future that is bound to come, and then use Iron Tail to defeat Gardevoir.
Neither is simple.
The damage of future prediction enhanced by meditation is ridiculously high, and Pikachu was also in poor condition due to the battle with Senbu before going on the field.
Predicting the future is not an easy task.
As for the latter, Gardevoir still has at least one teleportation in his hand that he hasn't used yet...
…………
With her toes touching the ground, Gardevoir, in a clean and flawless white dress, stood low in the air out of thin air, looking majestic and inviolable like a super queen.
She stared indifferently at Pikachu, who kept approaching her, with crimson flashing in her eyes, and then she clenched her hands emptyly.
boom--
[Future Prediction], which had been brewing for nearly three minutes, suddenly detonated, and the invisible and colorless mass of telekinesis set off terrifying energy fluctuations in the air.
Although there was no flame, even the air seemed to be slightly deformed under the squeeze of energy.
Pikachu, who was hit head-on by the move, was hit by an invisible force and flew into the air more than ten meters high.
The audience's eyes followed Pikachu's figure involuntarily, because perhaps this was the last scene of this final.
Such an exaggerated explosion, such
How can a Pikachu stop this terrifying power?
Almost no one still had hope for Pikachu, except for two people, Chihong and Xia Chen.
"Gardevoir, prepare to teleport!"
Xia Chen's voice was quite solemn.
He hoped that Pikachu would fall under this prediction of the future, but he also had an intuition that Pikachu could survive.
After all, this is no ordinary Pikachu...
"Sana!"
Gardevoir also responded warily.
She was confident in her own strength and the power of this move, but she trusted Xia Chen more.
In the studio, the commentator who was about to announce the end of the game said in surprise: "Contestant Xia Chen still hasn't let down his guard. Does he think Pikachu has not lost its fighting ability?"
Under the gaze of everyone, the small yellow figure began to fall downwards in a free fall.
Is it really... conscious?
The audience who originally came to see the ghost Zoroark were now immersed in this exciting game, with their hearts almost in their throats.
Chihong took off his hat and looked silently at the partner with whom he was most bound.
"Pica!"
Suddenly, Pikachu moved unnaturally in mid-air. Immediately, his lightning-shaped tail lit up with a dazzling white light, and his body moved tenaciously at the same time, as if he was adjusting the angle to chop the iron tail.
Looking at this miraculous scene, the whole audience was excited again.
…………
"Pikachu! He really has not lost his ability to fight! What a tenacious willpower! Even though his body is shaking, even though he is still in the air, Pikachu still refuses to give up the last hope of winning! Will this Iron Tail be a swan song? Or a comeback? Start?"
The commentator screamed hoarsely, and with overwhelming momentum, Pikachu's metallic lightning-shaped tail slashed downwards, accelerating at an alarming speed under the acceleration of gravity.
But no matter how fast it was, it couldn't be faster than Gardevoir's teleportation.
boom--
This was the loud sound made by Pikachu's iron tail hitting the ground.
The space on the battlefield was slightly distorted, and Gardevoir, who teleported nearly ten meters, looked at the ground that was struck by Pikachu's iron tail as if there was an earthquake, with a lingering heart.
If it was him who was hit by the iron tail... he would definitely fall down, right?
After taking a complicated look at Pikachu, whose limbs were constantly trembling, Gardevoir decided to give this respectable opponent the final respect.
The energy condensed slightly, and a string of emerald green magic leaves was released from the sharp corners of Gardevoir's chest, floating slowly but firmly towards Pikachu.
Pikachu wanted to release a blast of 100,000 volts to resist, but after the electric bag crackled for a while, it still ended in vain.
The magic leaf hit accurately, and Pikachu fell slumped on the cracked ground.
In the studio, the commentator's face was full of emotion.
"The last magic leaf hit, and Pikachu, which had exhausted all its strength and energy, fell... Let us first give our applause to the red player and this respectable Pikachu. They showed us with their performance what it means to The spirit of never giving up.”
The audience burst into applause, including shouts such as "Red!" and "Pikachu!"
This is not comfort or encouragement for the loser, but respect for the strong.
There is no doubt that Red, his Pikachu, and Kirby Bulbasaur are all strong men worthy of respect!
On the battlefield.
Amid the applause surrounding him, Red walked across the torn ground, walked to the center of the field, picked up Pikachu, and gently put his hat on him.
"Pica..."
Pikachu's weak voice reached his ears, and Chihong whispered: "You did a great job, have a good rest."
As if letting go of his worries, Pikachu lay in Red's arms and fell into a deep sleep.
…………
After congratulating the second place, the next step will naturally be more grand.
Introduce the champion.
However, the commentator had a wicked smile on his face, took off his headset and looked at Sirona.
The meaning is self-evident, leave this paragraph to Sirona.
Sirona looked helpless, but naturally she would not show any embarrassment.
After brewing her emotions for a while, the blond beauty said openly: "Then, let us give our warmest applause and cheers to the new champion of this year's Donghuang Young Trainer Competition, player Xia Chen! Call out his name Bar!"
No words are needed, the word champion is enough to explain everything.
I don’t know whether it was to give Sirona face or to be sincere. As soon as he finished speaking, the volume in the audience rose to a higher level.
The sound was so loud that people outside the arena could clearly hear the neat and loud shouts of "Xia Chen! Xia Chen!" coming from inside.
Xia Chen was even more shocked on the battlefield. For the first time, he felt that so many people were shouting his name in unison.
A sound like a tsunami came towards him like a tidal wave, and Xia Chen suddenly felt a little out of breath.
He felt that he could not bear all this alone, so he took out the elf ball, and Xia Chen released his friends one by one from the elf ball.
Senbu, Zoroark, and even Menas and Doron Mecia who did not play in the finals.
Every time an elf appears, the audience will shout its name.
By the end, the different voices converged into the same sentence.
"Xia Chen! Champion!"
——————
The end of the finals does not mean the end of the entire competition.
The entire competition has the last and most important part, the award ceremony.
The top three in this competition, Xia Chen, Chihong, and Hu Yang, will stand on the podium and receive commendations from award-winning guests invited by the Trainers Association.
The order is naturally based on ranking from lowest to highest.
Xia Chen was quite surprised that the guest who presented the award to Hu Yang was his principal and former Donghuang champion Yu Chaohua.
Xia Chen was not surprised why the old man came here, but...
The third-place award presenter has such a distinguished background, aren’t the top two even more heavyweights?
Naturally, the only ones who can suppress the former champion are other champions. The former champion cannot be second, but the current champion is first, right?
However, with the appearance of the second red award-winning guest, Xia Chen's guess was proved wrong.
Because the second place is already the current champion of Donghuang region, Gu Kunshan.
The champion looked at him meaningfully as he passed by.
Although it was a bit ridiculous, Xia Chen, who was mentally sharp, could inexplicably sense that there seemed to be a trace of...envy in his eyes?
Champion envy me?
Xia Chen was confused. What did he envy me for?
Are you envious that I am still seventeen years old and in my prime?
Xia Chen couldn't figure it out, but when he saw the familiar person walking with the biting land shark holding the championship trophy, all doubts were thrown away.
Sirona, who was wearing a light blue slim-fitting dress, walked up and took the championship medal held by the hostess Gardevoir next to her.
Looking at Xia Chen, who was looking at him with a dumbfounded expression, the blonde beauty's eyes were full of smiles, and the corners of her mouth curved.
"Why are you standing there, neck."
"oh oh!"
Xia Chen suddenly woke up and quickly stretched out his neck in the same posture as Louis XVI.
Sirona gently put the silk medal on Xia Chen's head and helped him tidy up his clothes.
The intimate movements attracted side glances from others, and strange screams or whistles were heard from the audience.
Sirona didn't pay attention. As her ears rubbed together, she whispered into Xia Chen's ear: "Congratulations, this is your first important championship."
Feeling Sister Zhulan's breath coming so close to her, Xia Chen, who had always been thick-skinned, rarely blushed.
He coughed lightly to try to calm down and replied, "Thanks to Sister Zhulan for her blessing."
Sirona smiled slightly. She knew that Xia Chen was talking about the farewell they said at Zhuqing City Airport.
…………
After a ceremonial hug, Xia Chen finally couldn't restrain his curiosity and asked, "Why did you come to Donghuang suddenly?"
Sirona let go of the hug and looked at him with a half-smile, "Didn't you hear the voice of today's commentary?"
Sister Zhulan is the special guest of today's finals?
Only then did Xia Chen react. He was slightly embarrassed and said: "How could I notice this when I was playing a game..."
This is the truth, otherwise he wouldn't be so surprised when he saw Sirona.
Sirona seemed to accept this reasonable reason. She nodded slightly, took the championship trophy from the claws of the biting land shark and handed it to Xia Chen.
"Let's talk later."
"Um."
Xia Chen made a short nasal sound and took the physically heavy championship trophy. He joked: "Sister Zhulan personally presented the trophy. I will put it in the most conspicuous place at home."
[Currently used, it is the most complete and best-used app for listening to books. It integrates 4 major speech synthesis engines, over 100 kinds of sounds, and supports offline reading.
There are countless pys, how could I be stumped by this little difficulty.
He smiled and said, "Then when you go to the Qianlong Gym, talk to the gym owner or a guy named Long Yue, and I will know."
Red nodded in agreement.
I don't know whether it was because of the afternoon game or parting, but the atmosphere was a bit silent. Chihong was not a talkative person to begin with, and Xia Chen didn't know what to say in this situation.
The two of them stood together on the stairs for a long time.
Finally, Chihong gave up first in this wooden man game. He whispered: "I'm leaving..."
Xia Chen waved goodbye and said, "Well, have a nice trip. See you in Beijing."
As the sun set, Chi Hong held up the brim of his hat and turned to leave.
When she reached the bottom of the stairs, Chihong looked back at Xia Chen, who was watching her farewell, and suddenly said softly: "We won't lose next time, right?"
What answered him was a voice full of energy.
"Pica!"
…………
On the other side, after sending Chi Hong away, Xia Chen also climbed up the stairs. There were still people waiting for him in the Flowing Fire Arena.
Unexpectedly, as soon as he reached the top of the stairs, he saw the person waiting for him.
The warm sunset light shone down on her golden hair, making her look holy and beautiful.
Sirona, who was leaning on the railing, raised her eyebrows and asked, "Leaving?"
Xia Chen nodded: "Let's go."
Sirona suddenly sighed, "That little guy is also a good seedling..."
Xia Chen suddenly remembered something. He smiled and asked, "Is there anything else you want to say?"
Sirona was stunned, "Something else? What do you mean?"
Xia Chen shrugged: "For example, 'The encounter between life and life will give birth to new things' or something like that..."
Sirona frowned, suddenly put the back of her hand on Xia Chen's forehead, and said to herself: "I don't have a fever either..."
Xia Chen chuckled twice and changed the topic.
"Stop talking about this, Sister Zhulan, will you stay in Donghuang for the next period of time?"
Withdrawing her pure jade hand, Sirona tapped her slender white fingers on the railing, "Probably, I will return to Sinnoh early next year."
That's at least a week...
Xia Chen quickly calculated the time in his mind, and then recommended himself, "I think, Sister Zhulan, you must need a local tour guide, right?"
"Really?" A playful smile appeared on Sirona's lips, "I have been to so many areas, but I have never found a tour guide."
Xia Chen followed suit, "So it's more important to experience new things, right?"
Sirona was noncommittal, "Then first tell me how you plan to arrange it."
Xia Chen coughed lightly and finally saw the situation.
"As we all know, the Donghuang area is the largest area in the world. It is definitely unrealistic to travel all over the world in just seven days. You might as well start from one place first..."
Sirona interrupted Xia Chen and said with a faint smile: "For example, Zhijiang?"
Xia Chen, who was as thick-skinned as a sword monster, did not change his expression, "However, Zhijiang is located in the south of the Yangtze River and has been known as a paradise on earth since ancient times..."
"Okay, okay, stop reading..." Sirona looked like she couldn't stand Xia Chen, and said helplessly: "I listen to you."
Xia Chen chuckled, and the smile on his face was even brighter than when he just won the championship and took pictures.
When the atmosphere was changing in a strange direction, Sirona suddenly asked: "By the way, what is the reward for this champion?"
This question... Frankly speaking, Xia Chen seemed to have forgotten to answer it.
After all, now that there are abundant resources, he never plays games for rewards.
Fortunately, under the influence of superpowers, Xia Chen has excellent memory.
"In addition to bonuses and some rare elf items, is there another [league key talent training plan]? No one has contacted me yet, who knows?"
Sirona nodded and said thoughtfully: "This plan should be the main reward, it is something that will benefit you carefully.
I estimate that many of the benefits of long-flowing water may be out of reach..."
Later, when Xia Chen thought about it, he couldn't remember what Sirona said.
What was firmly engraved in the depths of his mind was that half-dark, magnificent face illuminated by the sunset, which he might never forget.
