Chapter 262: Strong Rivals, Top 8 Xiaozhi
On the road to becoming a Pokémon Master, he was indeed the least talented person and the first to be eliminated!
But... he really envied the eldest lady!
Forget it, since he doesn’t have the talent, let’s change to a path that he is good at!
……
After Kojiro lost to Shinji, on the other side, Satoshi and Shigeki, two former rivals, also met.
When it was their turn to play, the tension between them was so intense that it seemed as if invisible electric currents were surging and colliding in the air, producing dazzling sparks.
The Pokémon sent out by both sides engaged in thrilling battles again and again.
As the battle continues to escalate, every attack and defense is as shocking as thunder and lightning.
Finally, after several tense battles, each side had only one Pokémon left, standing at the critical juncture that would decide the outcome.
"Now, it's time for the final battle! Mao's final Pokémon is the powerful Blastoise, while Ash relies on his trusty Charizard for the final stand!"
"From the perspective of attributes, Blastoise has an overwhelming advantage. Who will be the final winner of this game?"
The commentator shouted excitedly. His passionate voice struck everyone's heart like a war drum, pushing the atmosphere of the entire stadium to its peak.
Xiaozhi commanded without hesitation: "Charizard, use Jet Flame!"
In an instant, raging flames gushed out of Xiaozhi's Charizard's mouth, like a fire dragon soaring into the sky, rushing towards the opponent with endless power.
However, Xiao Mao responded calmly and ordered his Blastoise to use a skill: "Blustoise, use high-speed spin!"
The Blastoise retracted its limbs into its shell and quickly turned its body to form an indestructible shell wall, successfully blocking the ferocious flames of Charizard.
The commentator exclaimed: "Charizard's jet of flames is incredibly powerful, but it still can't break through Blastoise's high-speed spinning defense!"
Xiao Mao seized the opportunity and decisively ordered: "Bluse Turtle, use the water cannon trick!"
Blastoise stopped spinning and fired powerful water jets from the two gun barrels extending from its back. It rushed straight towards Charizard with great momentum and hit it. Charizard was shocked backwards by the huge impact force!
Faced with such a fierce attack, can Xiaozhi and Charizard survive? Who will win this fateful battle?
Everyone held their breath, nervously waiting for the moment when the answer would be revealed...
Xiaozhi shouted anxiously: "Fly quickly, Charizard!"
Seeing Charizard soar into the sky, Xiaozhi immediately yelled at the top of his lungs: "Charizard, quickly fly behind Blastoise!"
After witnessing this scene, Xiao Mao also gave the order: "Bluse, use Rocket Headbutt!"
The commentator commented excitedly: "Blottesto's rocket headbutt hit the target again. This way, Charizard's most powerful fire jet is completely restricted!"
"Bluse, keep using your water cannon!"
Immediately afterwards, Blastoise continued to launch water cannon attacks at Charizard in mid-air, but was narrowly avoided by Charizard.
Faced with the tense battle situation, Xiaozhi pondered and finally had an idea and came up with a strategy that broke the routine.
So he shouted, "Charizard, use the jet of flame to burn the entire place!"
Looking at Charizard's actions, everyone present was stunned, confused and puzzled as to what Xiaozhi was going to do.
If Qingyi were here at this moment, and the person fighting against Xiaozhi was her, when she saw Xiaozhi making any unusual moves, she would definitely be highly alert and would never give Xiaozhi any chance to counterattack.
However, the person who is fighting against Xiaozhi at this moment is Xiaomao, and he does not have such a profound enlightenment as Qingyi!
Facing the continuous jets of flames from Charizard, Xiao Mao actually just watched it all happen!
Therefore, if the situation continues to develop in this way, unless something unexpected happens, Xiao Mao will lose!
Xiaozhi shouted loudly, "Great, Charizard, keep firing more jets of fire at full speed!"
The endless raging flames swept in like a fire dragon, not only melting all the hard rocks on the battlefield, but also making the entire scene extremely hot and unbearable.
At this time, the Blastoise, which was in the center of the battlefield, was trapped by the surrounding environment and could not move at all.
"How could this happen?" Xiao Mao was shocked, his face became increasingly serious, and he quickly ordered: "Bluse Turtle, use the water cannon to cool down the battlefield immediately!"
It should be noted that once rocks are heated at high temperatures and then poured with cold water, they will inevitably cause a violent explosion.
Sure enough, as Blastoise's water cannon bombarded the melted battlefield, although there was no explosion, thick smoke rose into the sky.
Thick white smoke quickly filled the entire venue, wrapping everything tightly.
When the smoke gradually dissipated, everyone discovered that Charizard and Blastoise were clenching their hands and wrestling with each other with all their might.
Charizard finally closed the distance between him and Blastoise. Seeing this, Xiaozhi hurriedly took the opportunity to shout: "Charizard, use Dragon's Fury!"
Xiao Mao was not to be outdone and immediately commanded: "Blottes, quickly retreat into your shell to avoid the attack!"
Seeing that the first move didn't work, Xiaozhi shouted, "Charizard, hold Blastoise tightly and fly into the air!"
Xiao Mao quickly responded: "Bluse, counterattack with a bite attack!"
Charizard's body was bitten tightly by Blastoise, and its face showed pain.
However, Xiaozhi did not give up. He shouted loudly: "Charizard, we must not lose to it. Use your greatest strength and use the Earth Throw!"
So, Charizard endured the severe pain, hugged Blastoise tightly, circled in the sky for a few circles, and then fell rapidly at an alarming speed, crashing into the ground like a meteorite.
"boom!"
Accompanied by a deafening roar, the whole earth seemed to tremble.
This thrilling scene left everyone present dumbfounded, and the whole place was silent for a moment.
Everyone was staring at the battle field nervously, especially the two protagonists, Ash and Shaun. They clenched their fists, gritted their teeth, their faces full of anxiety and anticipation, and the tension level had reached its peak!
At this moment, time seemed to have stopped, and everyone held their breath, eager to know who would win in the end of this fierce battle.
As time passed second by second, the dust that filled the surroundings gradually dissipated.
The scene presented in front of everyone at this moment was heart-wrenching. Blastoise and Charizard were covered with wounds and stood precariously.
After a fierce battle, these two powerful Pokémon had exhausted all their strength and no longer had any extra power to fight.
At this point, the only thing they can compete with is their unyielding willpower!
The outcome of this game depends on which side can hold on to the end. Whoever falls first will lose!
Finally, the Blastoise was the first to give up. After just a moment, it was exhausted and fell forward to the ground.
The referee saw this and raised the flag in his hand to Xiaozhi without hesitation, and announced loudly: "Blazoo loses the ability to fight, Charizard wins!"
At the same time, the commentator's passionate voice resounded throughout the venue: "Blustode has lost his ability to fight. The winner of this competition belongs to Satoshi from Pallet Town!"
Upon hearing this, both Xiaozhi and Xiaomao themselves, as well as the spectators on the sidelines, were all shocked.
Xiaozhi couldn't believe that he actually defeated his old enemy Xiaomao. Conversely, Xiaomao also couldn't believe that he lost to Xiaozhi.
When Xiao Mao came to his senses, he silently took back the exhausted Blastoise, turned around and left sadly, his back looking extremely lonely and desolate!
On the other hand, Xiaozhi stood there in a daze until Pikachu, Charizard, Brock and Misty came forward to congratulate him. Then he woke up as if from his dream. He instantly became so excited that he danced and cheered uncontrollably.
"Sure enough... just as Yiyi said, Xiaozhi... is a strong opponent!"
Standing at the passage at the edge of the battle field, Shinji watched the entire match between Satoshi and Mao.
Looking at Xiaozhi who was cheering on the stage, he couldn't help but whispered: "Facing a strong enemy like him, we must not slack off or underestimate him!"
Recalling the fierce battle that had just ended, Shinji thought that Xiao Mao was still a little careless in this battle. He shouldn't have let Blastoise allow Charizard to continuously cast jets of fire!
If it weren't for this mistake, it would be hard to tell who would win or lose this game!
"Okay, Yukira, it's time for us to leave here!" After a moment of silence, Shinji looked at Yukira beside him and said softly, "It's getting late, and it's getting dark. We have to go back and prepare for tomorrow's game."
After saying that, he put his hands in his pockets and walked towards the athletes' village.
"Yu~"
Yukira responded, following closely beside Shinji.
Their figures, bathed in the warm afterglow of the setting sun, are stretched out, as if symbolizing their never-ending steps in the pursuit of their dreams.
………………
The next morning, the sun was shining brightly and the second round of the final was about to begin.
Xiaozhi was lucky enough to draw a spot for the first round, and his opponent was the powerful Pokémon trainer from the Hoenn region named Ye Yue.
As early as the eve of the opening of the Silver Conference, Xiaozhi had already met this extremely powerful opponent and witnessed his outstanding fighting skills with his own eyes.
Because of this, Xiaozhi felt both excited and nervous about the head-on confrontation with Ye Yue.
However, things went against his will. Although Xiaozhi successfully forced Ye Yue into a desperate situation and forced the opponent to only have one Pokémon left.
However, even though he still had the advantage of Bay Leaf and Charizard, he was eventually overturned by Ye Yue's Blaziken.
Even Ash's most trusted Spear was unable to defeat the opponent's Blaziken.
Just like that, Xiaozhi missed the championship again and unfortunately stopped in the top eight.
However, just like Xiaomao, Xiaozhi did not leave sadly, but chose to stay and continue watching the game.
After witnessing two other intense and exciting matches, the final battle of the quarterfinals finally arrived. Shinji finally appeared on the stage, and he drew the last game!
As the game progressed and his opponent became stronger, Shinji replaced the Pokémon he had previously captured.
After a fierce battle, we finally won this crucial battle without any danger and successfully advanced to the semi-finals.
The following semi-final matchup is even more exciting.
One of the most surprising battles was between Ye Yue, who had previously defeated Xiaozhi, and Du She, a player from Cherry Town.
Ye Yue, who had always been brave and good at fighting, unexpectedly suffered a Waterloo in this competition and was defeated regretfully. This result left everyone present dumbfounded.
Shinji met the only female player among the top four during the draw.
It is understood that this female player has not only traveled to other regions, but is also a battle-hardened elite Pokémon trainer with extremely rich combat experience.
Facing such a strong enemy, Shinji did not dare to be negligent in the slightest, but even though he tried his best, he still got into a tough battle at one point.
At the same time, in the reverse space, Arceus led six legendary Pokémon and Qingyi to complete the seal maintenance work.
By the time the final touches were completed and everything was over, everyone was exhausted and didn't care about their own image. They just fell to the ground exhausted.
Even Arceus lay on his side on the ground, taking the time to recover his strength.
However, compared to his six embarrassed younger brothers, Arceus's posture was obviously much more elegant.
After all, as the boss, you must always maintain your dignified and solemn image in front of your younger brothers!
After a short rest, Qingyi pulled herself together, propped up her extremely weak body with her hands and slowly sat up. She stared at Arceus and asked in a slightly hoarse voice, "Great Master, how long will the seal we repaired this time last?"
Hearing Qingyi's question, Arceus stood up silently, his expression solemn and helpless. He sighed deeply and replied, "Alas... Based on the strength displayed by the darkness just now, I'm afraid that the repaired seal will not last long. Perhaps it can only last for about a year at most!"
Back then, every time they successfully completed the seal maintenance work, it was enough to ensure safety for decades.
However, as the power of Darkness grew and strengthened, this safety period was rapidly shortened, first to more than ten years, and then suddenly reduced to just four or five years.
Unexpectedly, the situation has deteriorated to the point where there is only a year left to catch our breath!
Every time after maintaining the seal, they need to spend a long time to recuperate and restore the lost power.
At first, there was still plenty of time available, but as the duration of each seal shortened dramatically, the power they possessed was gradually unable to meet the demand.
In this way, the time the seal can last after maintenance will naturally become shorter and shorter, thus falling into this frustrating vicious cycle!
