Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

Chapter 537, Xiaozhi vs. Koji
The fifty-third day of traveling to the Kanto region was cloudy.

A new day has begun, and the second round of the group stage is about to begin...

Yu Hai got up early, had breakfast with the elves, and then came to the lottery venue again to continue drawing the venue, match, and opponent today.

Some people had already drawn their lots yesterday and went to play the game early in the morning. Those players who drew lots late must draw lots before nine o'clock at the latest and play in the later rounds. This is a big loophole.

If the contestants want to avoid the experts, they can squat at the door of the draw venue to see whether the experts draw lots in the front or in the back.

If the expert draws the lot in front, you will choose to draw the lot in the back, and the probability of encountering it will be smaller.

If the experts draw lots at the back, then just draw lots at the front.

Anyway, there are only a few contestants. Excluding a few favorites and veterans from the previous session, the rest are basically newcomers.

Don't always think about dark horses. There are not so many civilian dark horses like him, not to mention that he is a dark horse with cheats. Not an ordinary civilian dark horse, but a civilian dark horse who is a time traveler.

Even for a two-month-old civilian dark horse like Xiao Ming, there are not many trainers with senior-level strength, not to mention that Xiao Ming is not a two-month-old rookie.

It was indeed two months including the travel time, but Xiao Ming was a trainer before the travel and started training Pokémon, so who knows how long it took the other party.

Anyway, it took him more than half a year to get to this point, and he is stuck. The early stage of rapid progress has passed, and the progress will be slower and slower. He can only slowly endure the time. If he wants to take shortcuts, he has to spend money. There is no other way.

This is the reality, it is the same everywhere. In the past life, you had to spend money to play games, otherwise you would just be a background board or a miner for the big guys.

You have to spend money to play in the Pokemon World, otherwise you will just be a passerby trainer and a background board without even a name.

"Contestant Yu Hai, please draw your competition venue..."

"Okay," Yu Hai raised his hand and pressed the red button on the counter at the receptionist's prompt. The cursor on the screen stopped instantly and stopped on the ice field.

"Trainer Ukai, your second round of group matches will be on the Ice Field, the match is the eighth, and your opponent is..."

"I understand," Yu Hai looked at the avatar on the screen. He was familiar with this avatar. He turned and left the lottery venue.

Xiao Shun, who was also at the lottery venue, also saw the avatar on the screen and couldn't help but mutter, "I didn't expect to meet Brother Hai so soon..."

"Xiao Shun, who is your opponent?" After Koji finished drawing the venue, he came over and saw Yu Hai's avatar. He couldn't help but exclaimed: "How could it be him, Xiao Shun, this group match is going to be difficult for you..."

Koji knew Ukai and knew how strong he was. At least he was stronger than him. The fact that he was able to rescue them from the poaching gang showed how strong Ukai was.

He felt that if he were to face the leader of the poaching gang now, he wouldn't be able to rescue himself, which showed the gap between them and the other side.

"Who is your opponent?" Xiao Shun was in a good mood. He wanted to try and see how big the gap was between him and his guide on the road to becoming a trainer, Brother Hai.

Now that we've met, I'd like to take this opportunity to test my strength and see how far I've come.

He had not forgotten that Brother Hai said that he was too weak to help the other party. He had always wanted to know how strong he had to be to help the other party...

"My opponent?" When Koji heard about his opponent, he immediately looked bitter, because his opponent was himself.

……

"President, I found a boy who looks exactly like Master Koji. He is Master Koji's opponent today. I hope you can watch Master Koji's match today." When Koji's bodyguard was drawing lots with Koji, he saw Xiaozhi's profile picture and turned around to inform Master Liuli.

"I know. I'll watch the game..."

"Yes, yes," the bodyguard responded to the instructions of the Liuli Pavilion Master repeatedly, then hung up the phone and looked at Koji.

Haoji was leaving the lottery venue with Xiaoshun, so he quickly chased after him to provide close protection.

"No way? How could there be a trainer who looks exactly like you?" Xiao Shun didn't believe what Koji said. After all, this matter was too unbelievable and these two were not even brothers.

"You'll know when you see him later, he really looks exactly like me. I even suspect that he's his father's illegitimate child outside," Koji was powerless to complain. After all, they look so similar.

"Ahem," the bodyguard heard Hao Er say that his master had an affair, and it was not easy to warn Master Hao Er, so he could only advise him tactfully: "Master Hao Er, be careful with your words, don't say such things carelessly, what if the president hears..."

"I know, it's really annoying," Koji waved his hands helplessly. These bodyguards are good. Although they can ensure safety, they can also handle many trivial matters in life.

But it was just too annoying. Sometimes he wasn't allowed to sit here, go there, or speak, which often made him extremely irritated. He was not happy at all on this trip.

"Let's go, my match is the sixth. Let's watch my match first, and then I'll watch your match," Koji pulled Xiaoshun straight to the rocky venue, because his second round of group matches was on the rocky venue, and his opponent happened to be that stupid guy Xiaozhi.

Xiaozhi and his three friends also knew their opponent, and were surprised because their opponent looked so much like Xiaozhi...

"Xiaozhi, are you sure that the other party is not a long-lost twin brother? Otherwise, why does he look so much like you?" Xiaoxia poked her chin with her finger, unable to figure out where Xiaozhi's brother came from.

"How could I have a brother?" Xiaozhi firmly denied that he had a brother and even made a video call to his mother.

After his mother answered the phone, Xiaozhi opened his mouth and asked, "Mom, my opponent this time looks like me. Do I have a brother?"

"What are you thinking about? Xiaozhi, you are my only son," Hanako's head suddenly grew bigger and she roared at Xiaozhi on the other side of the video call.

Xiaozhi actually said that he had a brother. Isn't this slandering her? It would be so embarrassing if others heard it. She even blushed.

"Well, they do look alike. This boy is from the Orange Islands and is the son of the gym leader of the Ryugan Gym," Professor Oak said, holding a notebook in his hand and pulling up the information of Satoshi's opponent this time. He saw Koji with Pikachu standing on his shoulder.

"Wow, he really looks like Satoshi," Hanako didn't care that Professor Oak was coughing to cover up his embarrassment. Instead, she hung up the phone and held her notebook to look at Koji's competition headshot, which looked so much like Satoshi.

With the addition of a Pikachu, the two look exactly alike. If it weren't for the different hats, and if it weren't for the fact that Xiaozhi's hat was bought by her herself, he wouldn't be able to tell which one of the two was Xiaozhi.

"Stop looking, Satoshi's game is about to begin," Professor Oak saw Hanako staring at the notebook for more than an hour. Satoshi's game was about to begin, and she was still looking at the headshot. She might as well just watch the two of them compete directly.

Koji vs. Satoshi is still very interesting...

……

At the Quartz Conference, when Xiaozhi and Koji appeared, even the host was stunned.

"Oh my god, how can there be two identical contestants? Are they twins?"

The host quickly looked at the information in his hand, which was the basic information of the two contestants, and explained it to the audience...

"The green contestant is Xiaozhi from Pallet Town, and the red contestant against him is Koji from the Orange Islands, from the Durian Gym..."

"They are not twins, but they look exactly the same. Is this a competition to surpass themselves? What kind of exciting competition will these two identical people bring us? Please wait and see..."

"These two look alike, are they really twins?"

"It feels like I'm fighting myself. Look, there's a Pikachu next to them, and even the Pokémons are exactly the same..."

"They look the same, they look like elves, they are really weird, how can there be such a weird person..."

"Oh my god, meow, he really looks like Imp, even Pikachu is the same. I can't tell who is who. Meow..."

"Musashi, even Pikachu is the same. We can't catch the little Pikachu. Maybe we can..."

"Hehehe, you've thought of it, right? Then it's decided. Wait until their game is over and find a chance to capture Pikachu..."

"Hehehe..." x3
Three strange laughs with hands covering their mouths rang out in the corner of the audience seats. It was not until someone shouted to buy drinks that the three men broke away from the sinister laughs and turned back into enthusiastic salesmen, running towards the waving audience.

Even if they wanted to catch Pikachu, they had to take advantage of this opportunity to make some extra money. Once the Quartz Conference was over, it would not be that easy for them to make extra money.

……

At the same time, far away in the Orange Islands, Gym Leader Liuli, who was sitting in front of the TV watching the game, saw Xiaozhi on TV. This young man really looked exactly like his son Koji, just as the bodyguard said.

She was sure that the other person was not her son. After all, she knew whether she had cheated on her husband or not and how many children she had given birth to.

Is it possible to get pregnant through mental infidelity and give birth to a child remotely? This technology is too advanced, definitely black technology.

"Hmm? This boy really looks like Xiaohao," Haoji's grandfather looked at Xiaozhi carefully. Apart from the difference in his clothes, he really couldn't be distinguished from Pikachu.

He couldn't help but glance at his daughter, and feeling his gaze, Liuli glared back fiercely.

How can you doubt such a thing? I am the daughter of an old man like you, and you actually doubt your own precious daughter.

"cough……"

This scolding made Koji's grandfather extremely embarrassed, and he could only cover up his embarrassment with a dry cough.

……

Hanako and Professor Oak, who were far away in Pallet Town, also saw Koji's appearance, and even they couldn't help but sigh that the two looked so alike.

However, Professor Oak did not suspect Hanako. He knew who Hanako's husband was and that Hanako had been staying in Pallet Town all these years. Hanako was innocent.

"They really are alike," Hanako couldn't help but sigh, Koji and Satoshi are really alike.

She knew she was innocent, but she couldn't help but wonder why this boy looked so much like Xiaozhi.

……

As the match between Xiaozhi and Koji began, the two each sent out their own Pokémon on the rocky field.

Ukai was also watching the match between the two in the big cafeteria of the athletes' village, and happened to be having lunch there.

His game was expected to be in the afternoon, so it was still early and he was not in a hurry. He simply watched the game in the cafeteria.

As the battle between the two began, Xiaozhi was at a disadvantage in the first battle. Koji sent out Starfish as the first Pokémon, while Xiaozhi sent out Mukti as the first Pokémon.

Xiaozhi's poison-type Muddy Slime is twice as strong as Koji's Psychic-type Starfish.

Seeing this battle, Yu Hai smiled helplessly, feeling that Koji was bound to lose, because the protagonist Xiaozhi was a master of reverse attributes, and a game against him was a losing game. No matter how he played, Xiaozhi would not lose.

Either by a flash of inspiration or the opponent's mistake, the battle situation will always favor Xiaozhi. It is difficult for Xiaozhi to lose in a situation where the situation is unfavorable, but it is difficult for him to win in a situation where the situation is favorable.

The result of the battle was as expected. Ash, the iron-headed kid, did not plan to change Pokémon when Mukti was doubly restrained by the Psychic type.

Munch faced off against Gem Star. Gem Star's water-based moves were useless against Munch, and Gem Star was poisoned by Munch instead.

The unpoisoned Gem Starfish could still fight with the Smelly Mud, but the poisoned Gem Starfish completely wilted, and would twitch from time to time due to the poisoning.

Once the Gem Star uses its superpowers, the Mud will wrap itself into a ball. No matter how the Gem Star plays with it, it can also consume the Gem Star's energy, making the situation even worse for the Gem Star.

In the end, due to exhaustion, the Gem Starfish completely fainted, lost its ability to fight, and was taken back by Koji.

After winning the first game, Xiaozhi hugged Pikachu to celebrate. He didn't expect that he would win the first game like this.

In the next second game, Koji threw out the Poké Ball of Nightowl, preparing to use the air advantage to defeat Muk.

But seeing that the situation was not good, Xiaozhi took back the Muddy Slime and released his own Pidgeot, intending to use the Flying System to fight against Koji's Nightowl.

These two flying-type Pokémons are both birds of prey, that is, predators. Don’t be fooled by the cuteness of the owls in the previous life, owls are also birds of prey.

After the two birds fought in the air for a few minutes, the winner was finally decided, and Xiaozhi's Pidgeot was the winner.

The reason is simple. As the name suggests, the nightowl is a nocturnal bird of prey.

Pidgeot is the overlord of the forest during the day, and the game is now in daytime, so Pidgeot has a greater advantage than Nightowl. Coupled with Ash's halo as the protagonist, it is not surprising that he can win.

This battle is not a head-on battle, as the two Flying-type Pokémon have the same attributes, and Ash's advantage is just the difference between day and night.

If the battle takes place at night, it is uncertain who will win or lose. The Night Owl will undoubtedly have a much greater advantage at night.

The second battle ended with Ash winning two games in a row and still having three Pokémon left.

Koji only has one Pokémon left, and he is helpless. He didn't expect this group match to be so difficult. There is also this trainer who looks exactly like him. He looked funny and silly before, and the battle between them was also funny, but he didn't expect him to be so strong. He underestimated his opponent before.

In the final third game, he threw out his last ace elf, which was the elf given to him by Yu Hai and was also his current well-deserved ace.

“Roar, roar, roar…” Gyarados appeared, and its size was about the same as Xiaoshun’s.

The average body length of a Gyarados is six and a half meters, but this one is at least seven or eight meters long, with a strong and sturdy body. It looks like it has good food and is well taken care of by Koji.

"Is this, Gyarados?" When Xiaozhi saw Gyarados coming out, he swallowed secretly. A rough Pokémon like Gyarados brought the most direct shock, and even he was scared.

However, he did not retreat, but let Pidgeot go directly. Anyway, the opponent only had one Pokémon left, so he had to use his numerical advantage to push down the opponent's last high ground and win this group match.

After fighting with Gyarados for a while, Pidgeot was still defeated. Xiaozhi then replaced it with Mukti and successfully put Gyarados into a poisoned state. Even though Mukti was defeated, it had done a very good job.

In the end, Ash and Pikachu looked at each other, and Pikachu immediately understood Ash's intention and rushed to the battlefield with a fighting spirit. With Pikachu's acting skills, he paralyzed Gyarados and climbed onto Gyarados' head and used Thunder, which completely stunned Gyarados.

I have to say that Koji's Gyarados is really thick-skinned and tough. If Koji sent out Gyarados first, he might be able to replace two of Ash's Pokémon, and the last Pokémon would be easier to beat.

However, Xiaozhi established an advantage in the early stage, and finally Xiaozhi used three Pokémon to replace Koji's Gyarados, leaving only the exhausted Pikachu, who fortunately had not fallen down.

Xiaozhi successfully won the second round of the group stage and excitedly clapped and celebrated with Xiaoxia and Xiaogang, the two off-field coaches.

The master of Liuli, who was far away in the Orange Islands, saw his son lose the game and sighed helplessly. After all, Koji was still a little short.

"Bang, this brat, he always loves to play, and now he loses," Haoji's grandfather stomped his crutch hard, and his white beard stood up in anger.

"Let Koji go home after the competition. Dad will take care of everything after that. You must supervise Koji's training of Pokémons. This brat is embarrassing himself by participating in a competition. He is bringing shame to the Liugan Gym..."

Liuli decided not to be soft-hearted anymore and must teach this brat a lesson. If he dares to play around again, he will be spanked.

……

At the same time, Ukai, who was far away in the ice arena, also watched the game. Seeing that Xiaozhi won the game without any danger, it seemed that Xiaozhi's luck had not yet run out.

He smiled helplessly and looked away. Xiaozhi's reverse attribute master aura was too strong, and even he was not sure of suppressing it.

To deal with a protagonist like Satoshi, one must either suppress him with a force of more than one level, or simply avoid fighting against someone like Satoshi and eliminate the variables.

After Xiaozhi's match was over, it was almost time for his match, "Ice Field, eighth group match, Xiaoshun, are you ready?"
