"How about Xiaozhi, have you decided on the Pokémon you want to use?"
Xiaozhi and his party are heading towards the water field.
The first four qualifying matches were fought with three Pokémon. Although there was only one chance, three lives were given. This is the only scientific part of this inexplicable competition system.
The Unova Regional Alliance Conference where Adek is located is even more outrageous. It starts with a bo1, and the outcome of a Pokémon determines whether to stay or leave.
Xiaozhi nodded and replied:
"Well, it's decided. In the water field, the first one will naturally be the Cammy Turtle, which is best at swimming and playing in water. The second one will be my Pikachu."
He didn't name the third one. After all, that guy Xiao Mao already had three hits. It would be unreasonable if he had to play a full bo5 at the beginning.
The other two people didn't think there was anything wrong with talking about just two people. With Xiaozhi's current strength, this was not considered arrogance, but confidence.
"By the way, don't you also have an Admiral Crab?"
Xiaoxia suddenly asked. A few days ago, the latter always wanted to exchange his Admiral Crab for her precious Togepi.
Hearing this, Xiaozhi stopped and his expression suddenly became a little strange.
"..."
He thought of that nightmare again. Although it was really beautiful at the beginning, he relied on the giant claw crab to penetrate three at the beginning... But the problem was that he was kicked out in the top 16, and the battles he experienced were even more difficult. It's like child's play!
"Ahem, as long as I don't use the giant claw crab, the script won't go that way!"
Xiaozhi secretly made a decision.
"In the water venue, remember to wear it..."
As they approached the stage, Xiaoxia kept talking about her experience in the water field. Xiaozhi surprisingly did not speak out and choked, but listened carefully and crammed in. This is tradition.
Maybe what you hear now will become a turning point later...
...
...
Ten minutes later, the game officially started.
"The one who is appearing now is Xiaozhi from Zhenxin Town. This is the first year of his trip and he has qualified for the tournament. He is a trainer with a promising future~!"
In the passionate narration of the commentary, Xiaozhi took a deep breath, slowly walked onto the playing field, and stood in the trainer's position.
The sun and countless gazes shone on his face.
Surrounded by countless spectators and cheers, the posture was intimidating.
In front of you is a large pool. You can't see the depth. There are some hard floating boards floating on the water for stepping on. This is the so-called water place.
"As for Xiaozhi's opponent, he is a magician from the Fangyuan region, Guangwu! According to rumors, he has also achieved the impressive result of being among the top 32 in the grand celebration of the gorgeous competition!"
The commentary’s trivia made the surrounding onlookers talk a lot.
"Gorgeous contest? Never heard of it."
"Dancing?"
The gorgeous contest has only become popular in the Fangyuan and Sinnoh regions in the past few years. People in other regions may not even have heard of the name.
"Oh, that's a competition in our hometown, a competition to showcase Pokémon's characteristics through performances and battles..."
"Um...the top 32? It seems that the top 32 are the weakest in large-scale celebrations, right?"
Several people from their hometown explained to everyone that this title sounds quite bluffing to outsiders, but to locals, it doesn't seem to be anything special.
On the field, Xiaozhi didn't care about any gorgeous competition. He stared at the opponent tightly as soon as the target appeared on the stage. Guangwu shook his long hair with a coquettish look and waved around, not paying attention to Xiaozhi's gaze at all.
On the huge electronic screen in the center of the arena, the heads of Xiaozhi and Guangwu also appeared, with three Poké Ball patterns lined up underneath.
A referee who looked like a passerby was already standing between the two. Seeing that the auspicious moment had come, he raised two small flags.
"A total of three Pokémon can be used in the competition. If all three lose their combat ability, it will be considered a failure. Now please two players send their own Pokémon!"
Hearing this, Xiaozhi had already grasped Cammy Turtle's Poké Ball with his palm, and was about to throw it out when his body suddenly trembled and he inexplicably remembered the nightmare again.
Although the ending is quite tragic, the giant claw crab's posture of one wearing three at the beginning seems really handsome, otherwise...
"Ah, never mind!"
Xiaozhi is not a person who likes to get entangled, so he grabbed the Pokéballs of the Giant Crab and the Cammy Turtle at the same time, then closed his eyes and threw one of them randomly.
"boom!"
A red light flashed, and a red-shell crab appeared on a floating board. The upper half of its head and large pincers were as fiery red as if they were cooked, while the lower limbs were khaki. As soon as it came out, it saw countless spectators. After seeing that he was startled, he reacted and waved two large pliers to signal.
"Knock, knock, cough..."
A lot of bubbles came out of my mouth...
It was the Admiral Giant Crab that Xiaozhi caught casually on the roadside.
"Hey, it really is a giant claw crab..."
After seeing this, Xiaozhi sighed and had to regain his composure, and Void punched the giant claw crab.
Huh, even if I really wear three clothes today, I, Xiaozhi, will never follow the script!
...
At Dr. Omu's Research Institute, a group of Zhenxin Town folks were sitting in front of the TV, holding cheering banners and shouting.
Because the only TV screen and living room in Dr. Oak's house in the entire town were big enough, they all crowded into one place to watch the show. The three Xiaozhi who can now participate in the competition can be said to be the pride of Quanzhen New Town.
"Look, look, our Xiaozhi is here~!"
Seeing Xiaozhi's face, Hanako held up a balloon hammer, hammered it into the void, and said with a smile.
"Oh~ Is it that malnourished giant crab? It turned out to be Ash's first battle Pokémon."
Seeing this, Dr. Oak's eyes also showed a hint of curiosity. Xiaozhi has kept this giant claw crab in the backyard since he tamed it. It is less than 8 taels in size and is severely malnourished. However, after this month of exercise, it seems I have grown to one pound, and now I am just in a normal body shape that cannot be nourished.
...
...
Quartz Alliance, Water Venue.
"Oh, it turned out to be a country boy. The water field sent out a water-type Pokémon just as I expected."
Guangwu looked at the big claw crab in front of him that was spitting bubbles at him, and smiled disdainfully. It looked like a small fish, and then he gently threw his elf ball.
"boom!"
A red light flashed, and a chunky coconut tree Pokémon appeared on the floating board in front of him. The thick brown tree trunk was topped with lush coconut leaves. There were three hanging stars at the connection position. The coconut with an expression looks like three heads.
"Naxi~"
Coconut egg tree!
"Oh, it's out. The Guangwu player sent out the Coconut Egg Tree. The grass attribute restrains the water attribute. It can be said that Xiaozhi was in a very dangerous position from the beginning!"
The host was still explaining passionately, but Xiaozhi gave it a blank look from a distance.
Attribute restraint?
What he is good at is counter attribute restraint!
