I got the Pokémon

Chapter 897: Challenge from Saori

The list of 270 contestants who stood out from 64 contestants has now been announced.

As the large screen above the venue began to change, 64 names marked with avatars slowly appeared in front of people.

Among them, Saori had the same score as another male contestant and won the highest score in the whole competition. However, because the letters of her name were relatively late, she was ranked behind. However, the two of them had the same score and were tied for first place in the preliminaries.

This was not unexpected to Xia You. After all, he was the quasi-champion of this celebration, so it was definitely not that simple!
But I didn't expect that there was someone else besides Saori who could achieve such a high score.

It turns out that no one can be underestimated.

Looking at the others, excluding those players they didn't pay attention to, Xiao Shun won 8th place, Harry won 22nd place, and Xiao Yao, who they cared about the most, won a good result of 21st place with his steady style and stable performance with Li Zhuangji.

This also puts her ahead of Harry, although she is only 1 point higher than Harry, but it is precisely this 1 point difference that may make Harry unable to sleep well tonight.

With the results coming out, it also means that today's competition has come to an end, and the audience also gave warm cheers to the contestants who successfully advanced!

After a whole year of anticipation, I finally lived up to their expectations!
……

By the time Xia You and his group left the venue and met Xiao Yao in the contestant channel, it was already dusk outside.

Seeing Xiaoyao, Xia You and the others all gave their sincere blessings.

Xia You took the lead and was the first to applaud: "Congratulations, Xiaoyao, you have successfully advanced. This is a good start!"

"That's great, Xiaoyao, congratulations!" Xiaozhi followed closely behind.

Xiao Gang also said: "Keep this state going!"

Xiaosheng also added: "And this time we didn't even make it to the next round, which is really cause for celebration!"

Faced with the encouragement and praise from her friends, Xiaoyao chuckled.

"Didn't I tell you all this before?" She said confidently, "I've become very powerful now!"

At this time, Saori also walked through the crowd and came in front of them.

Seeing her, Xia You and others also expressed their congratulations first, and after expressing their thanks, Saori turned her gaze to Xiaoyao.

"Xiaoyao, congratulations on your successful advancement. I am really looking forward to fighting you in the second round of the battle review!"

Want to fight with Xiaoyao?

I didn’t expect Saori to value Xiaoyao so much!
You know, Xiaoyao only achieved an above-average result in the qualifying round, and there was nothing outstanding about her performance. She was even more than a dozen places behind Xiaoshun. But even with such a performance, Saori still said this. It seems that if Saori didn't really see Xiaoyao's potential, it was because Xiaoshun had a deep impression on her when chatting with her before!
Facing this powerful opponent, Xiaoyao did not feel comfortable at all, but just smiled and nodded.

"Ms. Saori, I am also looking forward to fighting you!"

After all, they have become friends, even though Xiaoyao and Saori seem to have become rivals, Xiaozhi still asked inappropriately: "Um... Miss Saori, we are going to have a big meal to celebrate, do you want to come with us?"

"Thank you for your kindness, but now I have something important to do." Saori shook her head first, then looked at Xia You and said solemnly, "Mr. Xia You, can I ask you for a favor?"

"Me?" Xia You raised his eyebrows. Seeing that everyone's eyes were focused on him, he couldn't help but ask in surprise, "How can I help you?"

Sazhi chuckled, and with her smile, her charm was fully revealed, instantly bewitching Xiaogang beside her, but for Xia You, his heart was calm.

Which woman is not more beautiful than her?
Therefore, in his eyes, this bit of charm is not worth mentioning at all.

At this time, Saori continued, "I have heard of your name for a long time, and I also know your achievements. Although you are not a coordinator trainer, I also want to fight with a powerful person like you, so... please agree to my request!"

So this is ah……

I didn't expect Saori to be so belligerent.

However, he did not agree immediately, but smiled and said: "If it is normal, it is of course no problem, but you still have a game tomorrow, right? If your Pokémon gets hurt in the battle with me, wouldn't it be a loss?"

Confidence comes from confidence!
Even though Saori is the quasi-champion of this gorgeous celebration quartz conference, she is still not good enough in front of herself.

This is also the reason why Xia You dared to say such big words!
Although Xia You's words were a bit arrogant, Saori didn't mind. Instead, she felt that this was the tone a strong person should use.

"Don't worry." She smiled, "This is a city built specifically for the competition. It has the most advanced medical facilities. As long as you are not fatally injured, with the help of Miss Joy, one night is enough to complete the treatment!"

It seems that she really wants to fight with me.

but……

Xia You still didn't agree, but turned to look at Xiaoyao first.

When Xiaoyao saw Xia You looking at him, he immediately understood and waved his hand quickly.

"It's okay, you and Ms. Saori go ahead, we'll wait for you at the hotel."

This is where Xiaoyao’s understanding comes in.

She also understood Xia You's concerns.

After all, both he and Saori have entered the main competition stage and regard each other as rivals. Therefore, the battle between Xia Youge and Saori will inevitably expose some abilities and methods of Saori's Pokémon, allowing him to gain certain advantages and information. Although Miss Saori may not care about these, it will be unfair anyway.

Seeing that she took the initiative to speak, Xia You nodded: "Well, then you guys wait for me for a while."

Xiaoyao gave him a big smile in return, then walked towards the restaurant not far away, while Xiaozhi initially wanted to stay here and witness the fight between Xia You and Saori with his own eyes, but seeing his appearance, Xiaosheng grabbed his arm without saying anything and forcibly took him away.

"Xiao Sheng, why are you pulling me here?" Xiao Zhi was still very reluctant, "I want to stay too. I want to watch the fight between Brother Xia You and Miss Saori!"

"You are so tactless. Now, let's go. I'm starving!"

After much dragging and pulling, these people finally left.

In a blink of an eye, only Xia You and Saori were left. Looking at her, Xia You stretched out her hand and pointed towards the forest in the distance.

"The open-air battlefield here is crowded right now. If we don't want to attract other people's attention, we'd better find a deserted place."

Going into the woods with a woman he had only known for a short time seemed to give rise to a lot of speculation. Even if someone saw and recognized the two of them, gossip would probably pop up like mushrooms after rain.

But there was nothing they could do, as the city was already full of spectators. Fortunately, it was dusk and the sky was dark, and the contestant passage was far from the spectator passage, so they did not attract much attention.

"No problem, please lead the way."

Seeing Sazhi nod, Xia You and her walked towards the forest not far away, one in front and one behind.

On the way, neither of them spoke, just like two strangers. In fact, they really didn't have much common topic, and neither of them was the talkative type, so naturally the atmosphere was a little dull.

Fortunately, soon after entering the forest, they found a larger open space.

"We don't have to go too far, let's just do this." After stopping, Xia You looked back at Saori, "How do you want to fight?"

"Let's have a one-on-one fight." Saori took out a Poké Ball from her arms, "I'll use my strongest Pokémon to challenge you, and we'll decide the winner in one round."

One on one?

Xia You naturally had no objection. In fact, this was just right. Not only could he get a rough idea of ​​Saori's strength, but he also didn't have to waste too much time.

As for which Pokémon I should use to fight...

After deciding on his current lineup for a while, Xia You finally took out his——

As Xia You took out the Poké Ball and opened it, after a flash of blue light, his Charizard made a brilliant appearance!
Roar!
The Charizard was flying in the air, roared first, then lowered its head and stared at Saori coldly.

The fighting spirit instantly reached its peak!

At this moment, Saori felt a terrifying domineering aura coming towards her, and she felt like a lamb to be slaughtered, being targeted by a ferocious predator!
Cold sweat formed on her cheeks almost instantly and slowly slid down!

what happened! ?
She was suddenly shocked and couldn't believe that just being stared at by this Pokémon could make her feel so stressed!
This was a feeling she had never experienced before!
Even though she had dealt with the Four Heavenly Kings before, she had never felt such a tangible stinging sensation from them!

Is this the ability of the three regional tournament winners!?
All I can say is that compared to those who have become top Pokémon coordination trainers, Saori is still a little green.

Perhaps compared to other coordination trainers participating in this conference, her level is higher, but it was only after this conference that she became a top Pokémon coordination trainer. Now, her strength may be outstanding, but her state of mind has not reached the level that a top powerhouse should have.

She was just one step away from success, but before she crossed this threshold, because she did not have that status, she would undoubtedly lack confidence when facing opponents whose achievements far surpassed hers.

This time, Saori was unable to withstand the pressure from the Charizard, which had become the king-level dragon of the canyon, and she was indeed a little scared before the battle even started.

It also made her deeply aware of what kind of opponent she was facing.

But despite this, she gritted her teeth and released her Pokémon.

The next second, the Slowpoke that used telekinesis to send the Long-Tailed Monster Hand to Xiaozhi at the Pokémon Center yesterday appeared in front of her.

Compared to his trainer, this Slowpoke is much calmer.

Of course, it could also be because it was dazed and couldn't feel the pressure from Charizard.

As for why Xia You sent out Charizard instead of other Pokémon...

In fact, he also had a steady hand.

He can be full of confidence, but he will never look down on anyone because of it. This has always been his style.

This woman is about to become a top Pokémon coordinator trainer after all, how could she be as weak as an ordinary trainer?
Therefore, in order to avoid a crash, he sent out a relatively safe Pokémon.

Well... although it may be a bit too safe, the main point is not to give the opponent any chance!
Taking in all the little details and emotions on Saori's face, he nodded to the woman when he saw that both Pokémon were ready.

"Come on, bring your horses over."

……

Not far from the Pokémon Center, there is a high-end restaurant.

At this time in the private room of the restaurant, Xiaozhi, Xiaosheng and Xiaogang were eating with relish, constantly putting the food in front of them into their mouths, and soon finished the food on several plates.

Seeing them eating so voraciously, Xiaoyao couldn't help but cover her face and sighed softly.

"Eat slowly, no one is trying to snatch it from you, and don't you still have to wait for Brother Xia You?"

Xiaozhi's mouth was full of food, which made him unable to speak clearly: "This... This is so... delicious. We haven't had such a sumptuous... dinner for a long time..."

If Xiaoyao didn’t know Xiaogang’s cooking skills very well, she would have thought that these people couldn’t even get a meal!

But it's true that if it were before, she would definitely join them without hesitation when she saw such a dinner, but the days she lived in Yuanzhu City seemed to have spoiled her appetite.

Looking at the food in front of her, which looked delicious but not as sumptuous as the ones in her five sisters' homes, she simply ate a few bites casually.

I turned my head and looked out the window. In just a short while, the sky had already gradually darkened and it was about to be night.

"I don't know how Brother Xia You is doing now..."

"Don't worry." After swallowing the food, Xiaozhi smiled and said, "Don't worry, although Miss Saori is very powerful, she can't be a match for Brother Xia You!"

"Xiaozhi is right. We have never met anyone who can defeat Mr. Xia You!" Xiaosheng also echoed, but then pushed his glasses and added, "Of course, the premise is that Mr. Xia You can't let us win. If he doesn't take the fight seriously because Miss Saori is so pretty, then the outcome will be different."

Xiaoyao shook her head: "This is impossible, how could Brother Xia You let..."

She had only said half of her words when the images of the three sisters, Nancy, Lijia, Maya and Yuanzhu, emerged in her mind. She felt unsure and her tone weakened.

“…Isn’t that possible?”

It's no wonder that she suddenly lost confidence. Xia You had too many women, and it was difficult not to ensure that Xia You would be gentle with them again.

Just as they were thinking about this, they suddenly heard a loud explosion!

The explosion was so huge that even the restaurant shook slightly!
Several people were shocked and quickly turned to look out the window, only to see a raging fire in the direction of the forest that had started without them knowing!

My whole body aches so much, but I still insist on writing despite being sick. Please give me votes because of my dedication!
