Referee Dong George glanced at the commotion in the surrounding spectator stands, and then his eyes fell on Pioni with a serious expression.
"Do you really want to give up?"
Pioni nodded, took a long breath, and replied in a deep voice again:
"Yes, I choose to abstain."
Hearing this, Dong George didn't say much. Amidst the noise around him, he loudly pronounced his verdict:
“Since player Pioni chose to abstain, the top 16 of this Sailbar World Championship will be advanced by Douzi players from Raven City!
"
As a referee, he is not responsible for the psychological development of the players. Asking for reasons and so on...
The only thing that can be done is to pronounce a fair sentence.
The sound fell, making the whole venue even more noisy. This was the third time in this Sailbar World Championship that they had given up and admitted defeat.
It's just that the first two times were in the early stages of the World Championships. Some players faced the powerful king and directly chose to admit defeat... which is understandable.
But this time, Pioni, as the party with the absolute advantage, took the initiative to admit defeat? !
"Hey, hey, hey! That uncle from Galar, are you here to cause trouble on purpose?!"
"Keep fighting, don't be disgusting!"
"I'm all in on you. I just want to drink some bad water. How come you're still fixing the match...?!"
Amidst the continuous shouting and cursing at the venue, it seemed that many audience members tore off the voucher papers in their hands and threw them into the air.
As the World Championship progresses, many people have revealed Pioni's identity as the former league champion of the Galar region...
Although the odds suddenly became extremely low, at least by going all-in on Pioni, you can guarantee the bottom of the game. Anyway, it is very stable.
As a result, he gave up directly? !
On the field, Dou Zi also looked a little confused.
After tearing up the gambling ticket in his hand, Douzi quickly caught up with Pioni who was leaving the venue and asked:
"Well, Mr. Pioni, why do you want to admit defeat... The outcome of this game is already very obvious."
Although she is extremely lucky now and even made it to the quarterfinals.
But this kind of process was not what Douzi wanted to see, and instead he was filled with anger.
However, Pioni did not answer directly, he just waved his hand and left the stage.
"Maybe I shouldn't have come to this place so early in the morning..."
"?"
Another riddle answer made Douzi freeze on the spot and somewhat unresponsive.
It's just that she also spent a lot of money on Stud Pioni before the game!
I originally thought well, even if I lose today, I won't lose...
Now, the results of these months of hard work suddenly turned into a bubble!
...
On the other side, there is a private viewing area for all the champions of the United Kingdom.
"Hiss...The strength of Mr. Pioni really shouldn't be underestimated..."
Champion Adek said with a solemn expression.
Even if he faced off against the King Bronze Elephant, he still couldn't say he had a 100% winning rate.
"really..."
Beside him, the fighting king Lian Wu also said in a deep voice.
Even if he sends his best fighting Pokémon, it may not be able to break through Pioni's steel defense.
How come such a powerful player, and a backstabber from the Galar region, suddenly gave up and surrendered?
It stands to reason that when the quarterfinals of the World Championships arrive, the identity information and battle order of the eight players will be displayed together...
This is the real climax of the World Championships. If you want to hit the United World Championships, reaching the quarterfinals is the most important step.
"Is it possible that Pioni didn't actually have this idea...?"
Adek touched his chin and muttered to himself in confusion.
Compared to the few champion kings around who were full of doubts, the evil king Huckleberry actually smiled brightly.
"I'm full this time~!"
Huckleberry covered her mouth and couldn't stop laughing, her shoulders trembling.
Regarding the private casino for the Sailbar World Championships... naturally he opened it secretly.
As a gambler who once learned the hard way and quit in a golden basin, Huckleberry will never gamble again in this life...
So he started working as a banker.
I don’t know who leaked the news, but Pioni is the former league champion from other places, so many people spent heavily on Pioni to win this game...
As Pioni admitted defeat, the dealer immediately killed him, haha!
...
The first round of 16 game ended, and the second game did not proceed so quickly.
After all, there are only two sessions in one morning, with almost half an hour of rest between them.
After leaving the game, Pioni actually came to the viewing area where Xiaozhi and his team were watching...
Or rather, the place next to it, where Pioni's daughter was suspected to be, happened to be adjacent to their seats.
"Dad, why did you give up?
"
This fashionably dressed girl with short pink and white hair had already come forward to greet her and said very dissatisfiedly.
"Haha Xia Keya, you have reached the top 16 anyway~ It's enough to show your father's power~!"
Pioni laughed with a careless look on his face, a doting look on his face, and his voice became very greasy and silly.
"Hey, I promise my classmates, dad, you can make it to the finals!
"
The girl named Shakya curled her lips, turned her head, and became sulky.
Pioni was beside him, constantly trying to make his angry daughter laugh.
The appearance of this clumsy old father was completely different from the previous trainer who had clean command and powerful offensive on the field.
This scene also made Xiaozhi and others a little stunned. It really didn't look like a purposeful backstabber at all.
Did you really blame this uncle wrongly?
"Well, Mr. Pioni! Please tell me why you abstained!"
At this time, Douzi caught up and asked with a serious and sincere face.
All the money is gone, her heart is bleeding...
If we don’t figure out the reason behind it, we will probably have to break the defense because of this matter in the next few months!
"Well, you are the girl just now..."
Pioni looked at Douzi with some doubts, and saw that the latter's eyes were serious, and it seemed that if he didn't give a satisfactory answer, he might keep pestering him.
"All right..."
After thinking about it, Pioni agreed to answer.
It's just that the surrounding spectator seats are very messy, and many spectators who are close are quite dissatisfied with Pioni's behavior of admitting defeat. Obviously it is not a good place for communication...
“It’s convenient here!
It's convenient here! "
“We are all our own people!
"
Adjacent, Xiaozhi and his party, whose fire of Bagua had already been ignited in their bodies, had already greeted them from a distance, and deliberately left an empty seat in the middle.
It is true that they are all on their own, such as Xiao Juer, Daye, Ke Na, Qianli and others are also sitting around and behind.
Although these people have no expressions...
But they were all calm, ears straightened, and ready to eavesdrop openly.
Pioni: "?"
Although he was a little confused, Pioni was still pushed and pulled by the group of people to sit in the middle.
Unable to do so, he sighed and began to tell the reason...
