I got the Pokémon

Chapter 786 Xia You advances, Xiao Zhi is eliminated

Leaving the contestant channel, Xia You saw Xiaozhi and his group waiting outside at a glance.

As he appeared, Xiaozhi and the others applauded, and Xiaoxia even bought a bouquet of flowers from somewhere and gave it to him.

"What are you doing?" Xia You smiled helplessly, "It's so grand, I thought I won the championship."

Xiao Sheng is now at an age where he can no longer hide things. He didn't care whether Xiaozhi and Masamune were present or not, and said first: "Mr. Xia You! You are so amazing! No one can beat you! Two Pokémon, two games of one against three!! You didn't see that when you won just now, the atmosphere in the audience almost exploded!!!"

There was an unnatural look on Xiaozhi and Masamune's faces.

Xiaosheng's words "no one can defeat him" naturally included them. Although they also knew that they might not be able to beat Xia You, some things cannot be said openly. Masamune is fine, after all, Xiaozhi has already entered the top eight, and it will be sooner or later that he will fight against Xia You. Xiaosheng said this now, doesn't it mean that he thinks he will definitely lose!

But we have to admit that Xia You’s performance just now was really brilliant. If they were substituted on the court, they would definitely not be able to achieve the same result as him!
"It's not as exaggerated as you say." Xia You waved his hand and said with a smile, "I can't say I'm invincible, but at least in this conference, no one should be able to stop me from winning."

Xiaozhi:......

Masamune: ...

How is this different from what Xiaosheng said! ?

They thought Xia You would be more modest, but they didn't expect him to admit it directly!
Masamune quickly looked at Xiaozhi. He had already been eliminated, and it was useless no matter how unwilling he was. Now he could only pin his hopes on Xiaozhi and see what he had to say.

But to Masamune's disappointment, although Xiaozhi clenched his fists, he rarely chose to keep silent!

what! ?

How could I resist not talking back?
Is this still the Xiaozhi I know?
Although Masamune knew Xiaozhi better, he obviously didn't know how important Xia You was in Xiaozhi's heart.

If anyone else dared to say in front of Xiaozhi that he would win, Xiaozhi would definitely refute and argue with him. But only in front of Xia You, he regarded him as an opponent, but was also extremely convinced.

Although this feeling is contradictory, it is the deep impression that Xia You has left on him for a long time that makes Xiaozhi firmly believe that if there is anyone who can defeat him and become the champion, it must be Xia You, and it should be Xia You!

Within one day, all the top eight contestants had been selected.

In addition to Xia You and Xiaozhi, there were six other trainers. However, they had never seen these people in their previous travels, and they had no chance to get to know them when they came here, so naturally they couldn't say much.

Although they are all players in the quarterfinals, they are treated completely differently.

Countless reporters swarmed in, like sharks smelling blood, and blocked Xia You tightly. Looking at their posture, they wished they could put the camera in his face. Compared with him, the other seven contestants didn't even have a single interviewer. Even Xiaozhi was standing next to Xia You, but these reporters all ignored him and pushed him elsewhere!
"So scary..." After seeing this scene, Xiaoyao felt that these people were really exaggerating. They were only in the quarterfinals, why did they all surround them?

Only Xiaoxia and Xiaogang were no longer surprised. After all, they had seen this scene before during the Silver and Quartz Conferences.

"It's no big deal." Xiaoxia shrugged. "After all, these people make a living from this. It's normal for them to have a keen sense of smell. You haven't seen the finals yet. That's what's really scary!"

Being surrounded, Xia You was naturally the one who could feel the burning gazes of these people the most.

However, he was well prepared. He announced that he had accepted exclusive interviews with Miare Publishing House and Zijin TV, declined all interviews, and escaped easily under the escort of the conference security personnel.

Since they interviewed me, they will inevitably become my shield. Then I will just have to watch the people from Zijin TV fight with them.

……

By the evening, the new round of groups had been announced.

It can be said that at this moment, except for Xia You, every remaining contestant was in a heavy mood.

After all, no one wants to become an opponent of such a powerful person and become his stepping stone.

But the 8 contestants will be divided into four groups, and one unlucky guy is bound to meet him. Even if he avoids this round, what about the next round?

It's only a matter of time, which makes it even more difficult for them.

No one expected that even after reaching the quarterfinals, they would still be worried about being eliminated, just like in the qualifiers.

But no matter what, the time to reveal the answer has finally arrived.

The hall that was once packed with contestants now only had a few people left. Except for Xia You and Xiao Zhi who were gathered together, the rest of the people were standing separately, with a certain distance between each other. It seemed that as their rankings got higher, they became more wary of potential opponents, and were afraid that their true colors would be seen through by others.

At 7 o'clock in the evening, the big screen updated the information on time.

One could feel that the atmosphere was extremely tense at this moment. These people didn't even dare to breathe, as if they were afraid that any noise would bring them into an unfavorable situation.

Even Xiaozhi swallowed nervously and subconsciously clenched his hands.

Influenced by these people, even the accompanying Xiaoyao, Xiaosheng and others became nervous, especially Masamune, who was so nervous that he even broke out in a sweat, as if he was the one who was going to compete!
In this atmosphere, the screen changed and showed the grouping situation.

But before Xia You could see clearly, he heard a cheer suddenly coming from afar. Even Xiaozhi's shoulders beside him relaxed and he let out a long breath.

Ok?
Confused, Xia You looked at the screen carefully.

I saw that the first person in the first row was my own avatar, and on the other side was a man who was less than 20 years old, with a hedgehog head and slanted eyes!

And when he saw that he and Xia You were assigned together, the man in the hall scratched his head, a bitter look appeared on his face, and he secretly cursed in his heart that it was bad luck.

Why am I so unlucky?
After knowing who his opponent was, Xia You took another look at Xiaozhi's grouping.

Xiaozhi's opponent this time is a blue-haired girl, which makes Xia You want to see the outcome of their battle.

After all, when watching anime on Earth, some people said that Xiaozhi was killed by the plot. If he hadn't met Tetsuya, he would definitely have made it into the top four. Now Tetsuya has been defeated by himself, and his opponent in this game has been replaced by other people. Let's see if he can enter the next round with his current strength!

……

"Soul-catching Eyes has fallen! Metagross has won. The winner of this battle is contestant Xia You!"

Under the loud voice of the host, the cheers of the audience and the applause of his friends, Xia You defeated his opponent with another clean score of 6 to 0.

As the first match of the day, Xia You's performance was still unmatched. He sent out a total of four Pokémon in this match. In the first two games, he directly sent out Gardevoir and Gengar, letting them play two games. Needless to say, the result was that he didn't give his opponent any chance to resist and won easily.

Gardevoir was not so bad, as it simply dealt with its opponent neatly. Even though its attributes were suppressed, it made its opponent feel what absolute power suppression was. Gengar's performance could only be described as cruel, as it kept toying with its opponent until he was exhausted, and even used its ability to block the opponent's trainer's Poké Ball, before ending the battle with a look of satisfaction on its face.

In the remaining four rounds, Eevee and Metagross played two games each. Although there was no one-on-three situation and their performance was not as impressive as that of Moltres and Milotic, they still performed very well.

To sum up the whole game, the strength of today's opponent was at best comparable to Shizuko yesterday, which did not cause him too much trouble, allowing him to successfully advance to the top four.

Although it was a one-sided battle, the audience also enjoyed it very much and the voices for him to win the championship were getting louder and louder.

And for Xia You at this moment, as long as he defeats two more opponents, he will be able to hold the Caiyou Conference trophy in his hands!
Back to the overall situation, there will be a total of four games held today.

After Xia You's first game, Xiaozhi's battle would immediately follow. This was why Xia You did not leave the arena after the game, but went directly to the audience seats, replaced Xiaozhi, and sat in his position.

From Xiaozhi's face, you can tell that he is very nervous and a little heavy, which is a completely different emotion from when he fought against Masamune.

It's not his fault. After all, although it's not the first time that Xiaozhi has entered the top 8, nor is it his first time to challenge the top 4, he has never been in the top 4 after all. Now the opportunity is in front of him again, how can he not feel complicated.

If you win, you will go one step further and create a better record.

If you lose, you will stop here and repeat the same mistake as last time!

Standing in the trainer command area, Xiaozhi turned his gaze to the holy flame on the podium. Under the reflection of the holy flame, there seemed to be flames burning in his eyes.

Brother Xia You, wait for me!

I will definitely defeat my opponent and challenge you!

……

"Pikachu is down! The score is now 4 to 5, which is very unfavorable for Xiaozhi. After all, all he has left is a forest lizard in a very bad state. In this situation, can he turn defeat into victory?"

As the host spoke in a loud voice, cold sweat ran down Xiaozhi's cheeks.

Pikachu once again failed to defeat his opponent, and his situation became extremely bad.

After holding Pikachu back, Xiaozhi gritted his teeth and took out the last Poké Ball. As he threw it far away, the next second, the panting forest lizard appeared in the arena.

And just as the host said, the forest lizard is in a really bad condition right now.

Not only was his physical strength in jeopardy, but his body was also covered with scars. Not to mention fighting, he looked like he would fall down at any moment.

But there is no way, this is Xiaozhi’s last Pokémon!
I can only say that this opponent is really difficult to deal with. In terms of strength and performance, he is half a step ahead of Xiaozhi!

It felt like Masamune, who was in great form in the battle, was even more difficult to deal with than him.

Xiaozhi was completely suppressed in this battle. Except for Glacial and Magna each exchanging one of their opponent's Pokémon, Pikachu, Coal Turtle, and Shrike were all unsuccessful and were defeated one after another by their opponents.

Only the Forest Lizard was able to turn the tide at this time, bursting out with 200% of its strength, performing beyond its normal capabilities, and even at the cost of its severely damaged body, it managed to defeat the two Pokémon with great difficulty and tie the score to what it is now.

But with Pikachu's fall, it, having just rested for one round, could only drag its extremely exhausted body into battle again, trying to bring victory to Ash.

"The situation is not good..."

Xiaogang's eyes were already wide open, but no matter how he looked at it, it seemed that Xiaozhi had lost all hope of turning the situation around.

"It's very bad." Xia You also shook his head gently, "If the Forest Lizard was in full condition, it would be fine. Maybe there would be a chance to win, but now... it's already like this. It will fall down at the touch of a button, and the opponent has two Pokémon that haven't appeared yet. Even I can't do anything."

Just as Xia You said, even a collision or a water gun with half the damage can knock down the forest lizard. But with a body like this, what can the forest lizard do?

It really has tried its best.

If the companions were stronger, if Pikachu performed more normally, perhaps they wouldn't be in this situation now.

But there are not so many ifs in the world.

I originally thought that without Tetsuya, Xiaozhi would be able to break through himself and enter the top 4, but now it seems that it is still a little too early for him at this moment.

In fact, it can be felt from the previous match with Masamune. He defeated his opponent with great difficulty after Masamune gave him two games. Now he has replaced his opponent with someone who is more difficult to deal with than Masamune. It is not easy to beat him like this.

Still a little immature...

The lineup isn't very good either.

If it was Ash during the Kalos, Alola, and Galar periods, he would have won by a large margin long ago.

Shaking his head, Xia You turned his attention back to the game.

At this time, Xiaozhi's opponent has also sent out a new Pokémon, and with a flash of blue light, a Charmander appears in front of the Forest Lizard.

Seeing this, the hearts of all those who cared about Xiaozhi sank to the bottom of the valley, and even the light in Xiaozhi's own eyes dimmed.

The situation was already precarious, and now a Pokémon with attributes that restrain Forest Lizard has appeared on the field. How can we win?
It wasn't that he wanted to give up hope, nor that he had lost his fighting spirit. It was just that facing this situation, he knew very well in his heart that he was powerless to turn the situation around.

As the referee waved the flag, the battle officially began.

There was no miracle at all. The Infernape simply spit out flames, and the Forest Lizard didn't even have the ability to dodge, and was directly enveloped by the fire...

Still lost...

Xia You shook his head again, feeling a little sorry for Xiaozhi.

When the flames disappeared and he saw the fallen forest lizard, it meant that Xiaozhi's journey to the Caiyou Conference had come to an end.
