On the second day of the qualifiers, Xia Mo and Kodakya had breakfast and set off to the Oriental Pearl Arena again.
It's still a familiar place and a familiar referee, but what's different is today's opponent, Pikachu.
"Electric elf?" Xia Mo thought to himself.
The purpose of Kodak's learning of water fluctuations is to deal with the electric elves. Now, the electric elves are here, and they are still the most classic Pikachu.
Looking at Pikachu in front of him, Xia Mo summoned Pikachu.
Pikachu's trainer seemed to be a person who was not good at words. When he saw Xia Mo coming over, he just nodded and didn't say much.
Xia Mo wanted to talk some trash, but after thinking about it, he didn't seem to have any trash talk...
After all, I am just a senior in high school.
When Xia Mo decided to go back and study trash talk, the referee announced the start of the battle.
"Pikachu, lightning flashes!"
Pikachu instantly turned into a yellow shadow. The electric elf's starting skills are generally difficult to counter.
The Kodak Duck frowned as it looked at a yellow shadow. It didn't know where to attack even if it wanted to attack.
"Canada Duck, use the water wave to push over." Fortunately, Xia Mo didn't let the Koda Duck face it by himself, and quickly issued the command.
Let the duck think for a while, and the duck head should be cooked.
After hearing the order, Kodak no longer hesitated. A stream of water pushed it sideways, and then began to vibrate.
"Stop, Pikachu, jump and dodge." Seeing this, the opponent also knew that he could not catch the water wave. Pikachu's basic quality was not that strong and he could not withstand a few water waves.
However, Pikachu's trainer was not helpless, and he quickly gave the order.
"Use one hundred thousand volts."
"Here it comes." Xia Mo looked at the yellow lightning and thought to himself. This classic electric move appears quite frequently in anime, and its power is also extremely powerful.
"Up to duck, water wave."
Xia Mo didn't panic at all, Kodakya's training was not in vain.
"boom!"
The two moves collided in the air and then disappeared.
"Can reach duck, water gun."
Xia Mo didn't give the opponent a chance to react at all, and fired a water gun directly, hitting Pikachu accurately under the control of telekinesis.
"Pica, Pica."
Although he withstood a blow from the water gun, today's opponent was obviously not comparable to yesterday. A water gun only slightly injured him.
"Pikachu, then use one hundred thousand volts!"
The opponent will not sit still and command Pikachu to attack again.
Faced with a familiar move, Xia Mo did not repeat his trick of using water waves. Instead, he asked Kodakya to use two water guns, but no counterattack shield was formed.
Kodak Duck held two water guns and accurately hit the lightning. The two water guns quickly eliminated the lightning invisible.
Kodak Duck holds two streams of water in his hands, which looks a bit like a Tai Chi diagram.
Then there was a wave of water, and the opponent Pikachu was unable to dodge and lost its fighting ability.
Before leaving, the referee looked at Xia Mo a few more times.
"There is something special about No. 249. If he successfully wins the game, he will be included in the seed list." The referee thought to himself.
Very few people know that those prediction posts on the Internet are all posted by the staff of the Magikarp Cup. After all, only the staff know the strength of these new trainers.
The reaction speed, physical strength, and recovery power of the Kodak are far superior to other elves, and it seems to have created a move of its own. It is difficult for ordinary players to win against the Kodak.
"It seems that the reachable duck can also use super-type moves?" The referee touched his chin and thought.
After leaving the Oriental Pearl Tower, Xia Mo also knew that he had exposed his strength, but he only simulated a counterattack shield with a water gun. Unless he had extraordinary eyesight, he would not be able to tell that it was a counterattack shield.
Afternoon, Game 4.
Xia Mo's opponents in the fourth game were also sparse and ordinary, with average strength. The duck's water gun and water wave were enough to deal with the opponent.
At this point, the second day of qualifiers has ended. At this stage, the opponents for the main match have been selected, and now there are only 200 remaining opponents.
And now the referees in each region also report to the organizers the battle situation in their respective theaters.
Finally, after discussion by the organizers, a total of sixteen seed players were selected among these people, and these sixteen players were divided into different groups in the main competition.
These sixteen players were nominated by referees from various regions. You can see whether you are a seeded player on the official website of the event. There are many capable players, so these sixteen players are carefully selected, but there are many Obviously there is no Xia Mo here.
"Damn it, thirty years in Hedong, thirty years in Hexi, don't bully young people into poverty!" When Xia Mo saw that he was not on the list of seeded players in the hotel, he jumped up and said something about the second grade.
But Xia Mo also knew very well why he was not a seeded player.
Because the Kodak Duck is actually too harmless to humans and animals.
The organizers select the seed players based on their elf type, school experience, record, background, etc. Unsurprisingly, the elf type that reaches Duck cannot be selected.
"Let outsiders see that a Kokari Duck is a seed player and think our Magikarp Cup is really King Magikarp!" Xia Mo imitated the organizer's tone in his mind.
However, there were 128 players in the final competition, and now there are more than 128 people left, so there will be a third day of preliminaries. However, except for a small number of players who need to compete, most of them have directly advanced to the main stage. race.
Fortunately, Xia Mo's luck was not that bad. He successfully received a bye and advanced directly to the main game on the fourth day.
After confirming that he had entered the main competition, Xia Mo first called Zhu Yinghao. The latter congratulated him calmly. After all, he personally selected the person.
"Are you so not worried about me?" Xia Mo asked.
"I entrusted several players, and basically all of them entered the main competition." Zhu Yinghao replied.
Good guy, if you don’t put all your eggs in one basket, you really have the potential to become a businessman.
Then I congratulated my sister, mother, and father respectively.
My sister was very happy and kept praising Xia Mo.
Dad told Xia Mo not to be proud, and then hung up the phone in a hurry.
As for my mother, I didn’t get through it myself.
"Do you want to post it on Moments?" Xia Mo thought to himself while lying on the bed.
"Why don't you enter the top 16 and try again, in case you haven't played before?"
After thinking about it, Xia Mo decided to play it safe.
After turning on his phone, Xia Mo started to check the messages, but unexpectedly, his class group suddenly became active.
"Has the matter of my participation in the competition been exposed? It shouldn't be. Only Zhu Yinghao knows, but Zhu Yinghao won't tell it?"
Out of curiosity, Xia Mo opened the class group.
Li Xue: "The squad leader is so awesome, he actually made it to the main round of the Magikarp Cup."
Lin Yun: "Come on, squad leader, try to reach the top 16 and bring glory to No. 3 Middle School."
Xia Mo's squad leader is a young girl who is responsible and serious. Unexpectedly, she also came to participate in the Magikarp Cup and actually made it to the main round.
Xia Mo looked up the squad leader's circle of friends out of curiosity.
Gu Xue: "Two months of hard work finally paid off and I successfully entered the main event of Magikarp King."
