After the huge impact, smoke filled the entire stadium.
Dabi Bird's all-out Brave Bird attack was so powerful that the audience sitting in the farthest auditorium could faintly feel the ground beneath their feet shaking. No one knew whether the two Pokémon at the center of the impact could survive - the golden bird's momentum when swooping down was too awe-inspiring and unyielding, and everyone could see that it had no energy left to protect itself in the impact.
Time seemed to have passed for a long time, but it seemed not to be long at the same time. All the spectators craned their necks and stared at the two hazy black figures in the center.
The smoke and dust gradually dissipated. The Dream Demon was lying in a mess, its body covered with scars, and the ruby on its chest even cracked a gap. The big bird with messy feathers was lying on the ground, but it seemed to still be conscious. Finally, it stood up unsteadily and raised its head with difficulty.
"The dream monster lost the ability to fight, and Obi Tobi won, so the winner is Beidou player——"
As the referee made the final decision, huge cheers erupted in the Quartz Stadium. The first game of the round of 16 ended in a huge upset. The fourth seed Furuya Hiroma was defeated in just ten minutes. Because this information was so topical, almost all sports reporters frantically pressed the button Moving the shutter records the losers and winners of this amazing battle.
After excitedly contributing a wave of cheers, Xiaoling sat back in her seat and suddenly pursed her lips, "When did Xiaoye 'evolve' so much... Her fighting style is too restrained for me, I doubt it." If I really fight her, I won't even have time to shout 'Transform'."
For trainers who are good at complex changes, Xiaoye's command style of violent destruction tactics is indeed very lethal. It's just that the other party's attack has arrived before one's own changes are completed - in case the other party's instructions are worse than one's own changes. It will get worse soon.
"Don't worry, Xiaoye is in Group B and you are in Group A. If you want to fight to the death in the Quartz League, unless you meet gloriously in the finals." Xiaojie comforted with a smile.
On the field, the scarred Pokémon had been retrieved into the ball. The two trainers walked to the field and exchanged the customary friendly handshake.
Yangzhen's expression was still fierce, but Xiaoye could tell that he was not angry - it was just that his facial features were naturally fierce.
"It was a good fight." Yang Zhen grunted while shaking hands with Xiao Ye, "But don't think that this proves that you are better than me. We will fight again when the Quartz Alliance is over!"
"No way..." Xiaoye scratched her head, "I can't beat you a second time."
As the seed player of the ghost user Furuya Yoma, all the moves, tactics and battle videos he is good at are clearly available. It is too easy to get information about him. And Xiaoye's trump card was hidden in the dark before the top 16 battle, so Yangzhen was able to be caught off guard. And now that Yangzhen has fully understood her trump card, the result of another round is obvious - Xiaoye will definitely be beaten as badly as possible.
As for the short battle time, it can't prove anything. After all, this is how the guerrillas play - if you fail to quickly solve the opponent, you will definitely be solved quickly in turn.
Yang Zhen chuckled, seemingly satisfied with Xiao Ye's statement, and mercifully did not mention the revenge battle again. After the handshake was over, the two men left the stage amidst cheers from the audience.

====================
"The next game is..." Xiaojie muttered, looking back at the top 16 players sitting nearby. He glanced over and found that the conspicuous figure in white kimono was gone, so he felt relieved that he didn't need to check the schedule anymore. Obviously, the second game of the top 16 match is the showdown between Bai Lan and Jimu.
Seeing that Xiaoling had already started to pack up a large bag of snacks that was used to hold Xiaoye's seat, Xiaojie smiled and said, "Don't pack it in a hurry. Wait until Xiaoye has dealt with the reporters before going to the Pokémon Center. Maybe the next game will be held." Halfway through the fight... Huh??"
Xiaojie, who had good eyesight, almost bit his tongue when he saw at a glance that the windbreaker man in the distance did not enter the contestants' tunnel, but came straight to the audience.
Hearing Xiaojie's surprised voice, Xiaotian, who was browsing the forum's real-time reports, looked up and saw Xiaoye running in front of him like a gust of wind.
"Aren't you going to the Pokémon Center?" Xiaotian asked confused.
"Go right away." Xiaoye said, and quickly stuffed a certain cold little guy into Xiaotian's arms, "I forgot to leave it just now - see you later!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Xiaoye ran away at a speed that fit the image of a guerrilla. Xiaotian's hand that had just been raised halfway froze in the air. After a moment, he had no choice but to fall on the little Pokémon's head and touch it gently.
Snow Boy blinked, looked at the silver-haired boy, and suddenly showed a big smile. It seemed to know exactly why it was left here, and it spit out a cool breeze with light blue ice crystals without hesitation. The windbreakers bathing in the cold air immediately showed happy expressions.
"Ice Pokémon are so good..."
"I want to tame one right away..."
The snow boy, who was all cold and ice-cold, was passed around by the children, sharing the baptism of air-conditioning one by one. Not only was the Snow Boy not afraid of strangers, he was also very happy. He immediately produced several ice balls and distributed them one after another, saving the windbreakers from the brink of heatstroke.
Xiaoling took the Snow Boy from her brother and was chanting intoxicatedly, "Ice Pokémon are the best Pokémon in the world" when she suddenly realized something and looked at Xinghai next to her cautiously, "That, Xinghai Sir... I know that dragons and ice are mortal enemies, you don’t want to hit me, do you?”
The silver-haired young man suddenly laughed when he heard this, then suppressed his smile and said seriously, "I can spare you and not hit you, as long as you hold Snow Boy for one minute."
On the other side, Xiaoye did not return to the player channel, but left the Quartz Stadium directly through the spectator channel. The reporters guarding the opposite side of the player tunnel seemed to be confused by her unconventional behavior, but in the end they captured the exiting Beidou player professionally and immediately swarmed over and pointed the microphone at her.
This was the first time Xiaoye saw so many reporters surrounding her - before the top 16 match, she had not encountered a strong opponent, and the match was quite satisfactory, lacking topical points. But this time she defeated No. 4 seed Furuya Yoma, which is different from before. Maybe she can compete in today's headlines.
Of course, a variety of lenses and microphones will not make Xiaoye nervous. She still calmly answered the reporters' questions one by one, and made some reporters start to murmur in their hearts with her honest argument, "Actually, my strength is far inferior to Yang Zhen's, and I can only rely on surprise to win against him. It was all a fluke." In other words, "Although my strength was lacking, I worked hard to construct subtle and unexpected tactics and finally succeeded in defeating my opponent" is a common saying among players, right? What's the point of giving yourself the bad impression of "if you don't have a magic trick, you'll lose"...
This player really has no idol baggage.
The reporters’ questions were not limited to the competition. After briefly chatting about the match just now, many people began to turn to ask questions about the terrorist attack the night before yesterday. The enthusiasm was such that Xiaoye even suspected that the place she was in was not the Quartz League arena, but "experiences about subduing terrorists" seminar site”. The reporters also asked all kinds of strange questions, from methods of finding traces of terrorists to team assault strategies, to every subtle psychological change she experienced when she faced off against terrorists. The questions made Xiaoye feel helpless - at that time, she had nothing but He didn't think of anything other than "quickly beat up the masked leader". Even the current editor couldn't compile a set of complex psychological activities from fear to hesitation to determination to protect people's lives and property.
Because the reporters had so many questions, she was pestered for more than 20 minutes before she finally got away and hurried to the Pokémon Center.
The injuries of the three Pokémon in the battle were not serious, but their physical strength was very intense. After a simple examination, Ms. Joy said they would be fully recovered in the afternoon and would not affect tomorrow's game.
After hearing this, Xiaoye finally felt relieved. Before rushing back to the Quartz Stadium, she went back to the dormitory and took a quick shower - the automatic defense device set up in front of the trainer's seat could withstand the aftermath of the move, but Can't keep out dust. After a three-on-three match ended, Xiaoye felt that she might have eaten a pound of dirt, and there was even gravel in the gaps between her clothes.
After cleaning herself and Pichu, Xiaoye returned to the Quartz Stadium. As she walked towards her seat, she looked at the situation on the field and was stunned.
The scarred Yongjira and Haoli were facing each other in the middle of the field. A boy wearing a karate uniform and a girl with a single ponytail stood on both sides of the field. The battle seemed to be reaching a critical moment.
The second game of the top 16 battle...isn't it Bai Lan vs. Jimu?
Seemingly seeing Xiaoye's doubts, Xiaoling pulled Xiaoye to sit down and said with a smile, "You came back too late. Bailan's game is over. The game between Asaka and Dazhi has also reached the final Pokémon showdown." La."
"Eh?" Xiaoye looked at her watch blankly. She obviously only left for less than an hour?
"Bai Lan defeated her opponent in just over ten minutes. The match was shorter than yours." Xiaojie poked his head out from beside Xiaoling and explained with a smile.
Thinking of Bai Lan's stormy attack when she fought against him, Xiaoye felt sad.
The group she is in is B3, while Bai Lan is in B4 next to her. In other words... in tomorrow's quarterfinals, her opponent is the winner of Group B4, Bai Lan.
In the confrontation a few days ago, Xiaoye's Charizard was completely defeated by Bai Lan's Eluredo. At that time, Bai Lan said, "I'm waiting to fight you for the second time in the Quartz Alliance." Xiao Ye didn't know why Bai Lan's attitude towards her was so weird, nor why Bai Lan insisted on fighting her, and even bluntly commented that "it's not enough, you can be stronger"; but she did have a vague and weird feeling : She and Bai Lan will meet again in the Quartz League.
No, it should be said that they "should" meet again in the Quartz League.
At this moment, many pieces of information flashed through Xiaoye's mind uncontrollably. Bai Lan, Star Rain and White Night, Luke, the Glorious Society, letters with illegible handwriting - and when she was subconsciously integrating this information under the guidance of some mysterious intuition, the sudden burst of cheers around her interrupted her thoughts.
Xiao Ye was stunned for a moment and turned her gaze to the center of the sports field.
====================
small theater:
Reporter: Beidou player, what were you thinking when you rushed into the conference room to fight with the terrorist leader?
Xiaoye: Subdue him as soon as possible and eliminate the bomb crisis.
Reporter: Did you feel scared when facing this gangster with a live gun?
Xiaoye: No.
Reporter: I admire your courage. Have you ever hesitated before taking action? After all, fighting against criminals is different from competing on the field. Life-threatening situations may occur at any time.
Xiaoye: No.
Reporter: Uh... not at all?
Xiaoye: Yes.
Reporter: So... have you ever considered that if you fail, the terrorist leader may take revenge against you?
Xiaoye: I haven’t thought about it.
Reporter: ...Then, what were you thinking at that time?
Xiaoye: Subdue him as soon as possible and eliminate the bomb crisis.
Reporter: ...(This interview cannot be continued)
Xiaoye: ...(Why do they always ask repeated questions)
