In the hustle and bustle of the arena, there was silence in the ears of the brown-haired boy wearing a fighting gi.
His mind was extremely concentrated, and there was nothing else in his eyes except the arena that was steaming crookedly in the midsummer heat. Not even the commentator's roar could reach his brain.
Ever since he joined the Aikawa Fighting Dojo and was defeated miserably in his first battle with Matsuda Asaka, Shibayama Taishi has always wanted to defeat his childhood sweetheart. With countless failures repeated, this desire has almost turned into obsession. However, at this time, he seemed to have forgotten who his opponent was, and he had also forgotten his unwillingness to despair that had lasted for a year. Only tactical analysis was flowing in his mind with extreme calmness.
Asaka's Yuukira's injuries were much less serious than Gouri's, and compared to the panting Gouri, it seemed more at ease - just like its equally calm girl trainer.
As if he didn't feel the pressure caused by his opponent's confidence, the boy ordered in a clear voice, "Explosion punch!"
Haoli roared and sprinted forward, hitting Yongjira quickly and forcefully with his orange-gleaming fist.
Without Asaka's instructions, Yuukira had spontaneously performed teleportation and easily avoided Goli's powerful blow. Scenes like this have been staged many times in this battle - although he does not have a body as strong as Haoli, Yongjira, who is proficient in teleportation, is far more flexible than Haoli and will not be hit by such straight-forward moves.
And just as Haoli's fist was swung out, Yongjira's whole body flashed with colorful lights, and he just disappeared from the spot, Dazhi suddenly shouted, "Right rear, shoot down!"
Haoli stepped on his foot and shot out in the opposite direction without any warning. The palm wrapped with dark energy smacked down hard, hitting Yongjira's shoulder when he reappeared.
The evil-type attack caught Yongjira off guard and fell, and the silver key in his hand fell to the ground with a crisp clanking sound.
The audience let out bursts of exclamations, but Dazhi's mind was clear. He had fought against Asaka too many times, enough to fully understand all the opponent's fighting habits. However, in the past, he was too focused on winning and losing, and was better at rampaging than careful planning. He never turned his understanding of Asaka into an advantage in battle. This was the first time he tried to read Yongjira's teleportation point - when he thought this way, all his past experiences came out in one head and were connected together in an orderly manner, making him almost instinctively "predict" the opponent. location.
The girl's blue eyes widened in surprise, and the boy's next instruction had arrived, "Hell is rolling!"
Haoli didn't give Yongjira any time to react, and his strong hands firmly restrained the opponent's arms. Seeing that the situation was not good, Qianxiang finally said with a bit of urgency in her voice, "Psychic tornado!"
Yongjira's eyes lit up, and a whirlwind composed of mental power enveloped the two Pokémon.
Spiritual Tornado is Asaka Matsuda's most powerful self-created technique. In his heyday, Yongjira used this move to kill the fighting type in an instant. But now, the whirlwind on the field seemed dim, as if it might be shattered at any time.
The girl immediately realized that this was not because Yongjira was seriously injured, but because the silver key used to amplify his superpowers was lost.
Yongeera is a very smart Pokémon, and Asaka is certain that it will try its best to get the silver key back without giving any orders. But the hands that restrained it were as steady as a mountain, showing no signs of loosening, making it impossible for it to escape no matter what.
The fatal mental power was like a wind blade, leaving scars on Haoli's body. And it endured the severe pain all over its body without saying a word, and suddenly spun with the power of the spiritual tornado. In the blooming orange light, Haoli released all his power with an unstoppable force. The two Pokémon entangled together were like whirling meteorites, slamming into the hard ground.
Sweat dripped into the young man's already sore eyes. And he didn't dare to blink at all, staring at the blurry black shadow in the smoke.
The next moment, the dust cleared. When he saw Yongjira who fell to the ground and Haoli who was still standing, the boy who had been extremely calm before suddenly froze.
He seemed to realize in hindsight that he was standing on the stage of the Quartz Alliance, competing against his childhood sweetheart, and——
Victory was achieved.
Many viewers saw that Shibayama Taishi, who was extremely calm and decisive during the battle, suddenly fell to his knees and cried hoarsely, as if he wanted to release all the unwillingness and depression accumulated in his body. When the tears flowed down without any image, what he was thinking about was not the glorious future after victory, but their past.
At that time, the immature boy recklessly but seriously vowed to the girl "to protect you." And today, the young man finally has the qualifications to fulfill his promise.
On the other side, Asaka took back the unconscious Yuukira. Defeating in the top 16 was not a good result for a seeded player, but there was no trace of annoyance on her face, and instead a mixture of emotion and joy shone in her blue eyes.
The black-haired girl walked down from the command seat, walked through the battlefield step by step, and then smiled and gently hugged the crying boy.
"Thank you," she said.
auditorium.
When Haoli made the winning blow, Xiaoye and his party were still immersed in the heart-stirring battle and couldn't extricate themselves. And when the battle ended, the two trainers on the field began to perform a series of very dazzling operations in full view of the public... The windbreakers could only be thankful that they were wearing sunglasses.
Xiaoye adjusted her sunglasses with a serious look on her face, and looked at Kyoji Kusama who was sitting diagonally behind with an equally serious look on her face. She suddenly felt that everyone might have wrongly blamed him before. It's not that his investigative information was too detailed and went astray, but... the sign that these two people "may soon become a couple" is too obvious.
"Hmm, the combination of 'superpowers and fighters'... seems a bit similar to our parents?" Xiaojie looked at his sister while playing a game of ice hockey with Snow Boy in his arms.
"It's a coincidence that your parents also played against each other in a large competition." Yuan Zheng interjected, "I remember it was in the Orange Islands? The result was different from this game. Your father was beaten all over. Rolling on the ground."
The golden retriever brother and sister both showed half-moon eyes that were "a bit ugly but not surprising". On the other side, Xinghai seemed to have remembered something, and a mysterious smile suddenly appeared on his face.
Before Xiaoye could figure out what Xinghai's smile meant, she heard the old man say eloquently, "Then the boy confessed his love to your mother."
Night:"……"
Xiao Tian:"……"
Golden Retriever brother and sister: “…???”
"Wait, wait a minute, grandpa." Xiaoling couldn't bear it and made a pause gesture, "Isn't dad rolling all over the floor in defeat? Why do you still have the nerve to confess??"
Seeing that Yuan Zheng cleared his throat and seemed to be about to start a tirade about memory killing, Xiaoye quickly tugged on Xiaoling's sleeve and said, "Xiaoling, it's your turn to compete."
"...Okay." The blond girl hesitated for a moment, nodded reluctantly, and repeatedly asked her grandfather to continue gossiping after the game. After receiving the agreement, she left the auditorium with confidence.
Her brother thought about it and decided not to talk about this unexplainable topic. Instead, he said, "Xiaoling's opponent... is indeed Xiaoyun, right?" He tilted his head back and looked back upside down. The dark green-haired boy sitting in the seat said, "Tongye, what do you think?"
As Xiaoyun's traveling companion for nearly half a year, Tongye obviously knew her very well, and said openly, "Xiaoyun is good at the open and close style of play, both offensive and defensive. If she controls the rhythm of the battle, it will be difficult for ordinary people to do it again." Suppress her. But..." Looking at the green-haired girl opposite who had already stepped onto the command seat, Tongye shook his head gently, "Her weakness is flexibility, and Xiaoling is very good at this. If I If my prediction is correct, I'm afraid..."
On the sports field, the energetic green-haired girl waved vigorously to Xiaozhi who was shouting for cheers, and then gave Tongye a big smile in the distance, and then began to take a serious look at her opponent.
The person standing opposite and Xiaoyun are actually very similar in physique, but the pure black trench coat and the bowler hat that obscures the face invisibly add a sense of mystery that is inconsistent with their age. Xiaoyun shook his head thoughtfully, and suddenly shouted at the other party, "Hey, May Rain contestant——"
The commentator, who was about to utter an impassioned pre-war speech, was startled, and his gorgeous words turned into a sneeze. "May Rain Player", on the other hand, remained calm. He didn't seem to think there was anything wrong with shouting and chatting across the battlefield. He immediately responded in a brisk tone, "What's the matter?"
"You know the other three people wearing the same clothes, right?"
Xiaoling blinked, looked back at the windbreakers sitting not far behind her, and answered honestly, "Yes, we are teammates on the same team."
When the green-haired girl heard this, she immediately pouted, wondering what she was thinking gloomily about. Xiaoling wanted to ask, "Why are you asking this all of a sudden?", but the referee had already waved the flag to the two of them, signaling them not to have any more conversations unrelated to the game, so she had no choice but to bury the question in her heart for the time being.
The signal for the start of the battle was given, and Xiaoling, who attacked first, chose her general, Emperor Nabo, to take the lead. Xiaoyun didn't even look at his opponent and sent out his strongest initial Pokémon, Bulbasaur, at the same time without hesitation.
The green Pokémon landed on all fours, making a dull sound, and the ground seemed to tremble. Perhaps because she has always been followed by the breeder Tongye, Bulbasaur has grown quite strong. The petals on her back are as bright as fire. Her height is also beyond the racial average. I am afraid that she can defeat the weak with just brute force. of Pokémon were wiped out.
"Miao Frog Flower, Flying Leaf Blade!" Xiaoyun took the lead in issuing the attack command.
The blades fired by Bulbasaur are far larger than ordinary flying leaf blades. The powerful and heavy Ye Feng flies straight towards the opposite side with energy. Xiaoling then gave the instruction of "water jet", and Emperor Nabo was wrapped in the dark blue water and faced it head-on without any fancy.
The hard wings collided with the blades, and Emperor Nabo's momentum was blocked. He took several steps back to maintain his balance. Xiaoling rolled her eyes thoughtfully, "Tidal wave!"
A huge cone-shaped vortex appeared in the sky and pressed towards Bulbasaur. Xiaoyun, on the other hand, had already been ignited by the head-on confrontation at the beginning, and said excitedly, "Chop it into pieces with the colorful fallen leaves!"
The falling flowers were blown up like flying snow, and the overwhelming momentum was no less than that of the tidal wave. And just before the two moves were about to collide head-on, the vortex suddenly collapsed.
Before Xiaoyun and Bulbasaur could react, the originally rotating water flow had strangely condensed into a straight line. All the power was concentrated on one point, and the water flow pierced through Luoying's colorful and scattered defenses like arrows, hitting Bulbasaur's forehead like a flash of lightning.

small theater:
Golden Retriever Brothers and Sisters: Dad, Dad, why did you confess your love to your mother when you lost the game? Is there any special strategy?
Yuan Qing: How is it possible? I lost so miserably that I don’t even have the face to express my feelings, okay?
Golden retriever brother and sister: Hey, then why...
Yuan Qing: (Guilty) Well, I looked at your mother at that time and thought she was so charming, so I spoke out what was on my mind without even noticing.
Golden retriever brother and sister: ...(I also want to change my dad today.jpg)
