Even with Xiaozhi's current strength, he can rank in the upper-middle level in the Champions League. The strength of the legendary beast Suicune is not only reflected in his level, it can be described as mysterious and unpredictable.
Thinking of this, Damalanqi suddenly began to look forward to the ultimate battle between Gongsun Yan and Xiaozhi. One day he would be able to see the legendary Pokémon galloping in the league conference under the command of their respective trainers. It turned out that living a long life is meaningful.
"Next, let me add a new competition rule. I'm sure many trainers know about the existence of mega evolution, and some have even obtained the corresponding mega stone and key stone. After the unanimous decision of the organizing committee, mega evolution will be allowed in this Caiyou Competition, but only one Pokémon can be used per round. Please be aware of this."
"Then, I declare that the Caiyou Conference officially begins now!!!"
Damalanchi grabbed the microphone in his hand, explained the additional rules, and then gave the closing remarks, which caused countless audiences in the main venue of the Caiyou Conference to burst into deafening applause. Although many of them did not know about the existence of mega evolution until after the grand celebration, it did not affect their cheers.
"Thanks Rayquaza, I'm finally done!" However, there were some discordant voices mixed in. President Damalanchi's eyes were searching like an eagle, but there were too many people at the scene, and he couldn't find who was ruining his show.
After President Damalanch shifted his attention away, Gongsun Yan came out from behind a trainer. It was he who said the words just now. Gongsun Yan did not expect that President Damalanch still had such good hearing at such an old age. He had clearly just muttered something in a low voice before, but he was discovered by him.
But not to mention Gongsun Yan who was scared out of his wits, the Caiyou Conference has officially begun!
..........................................................................................
Less than an hour after the opening ceremony ended, Gongsun Yan's first match was about to begin.
Although Gongsun Yan signed up together with Xiaozhi, the order of the competition was completely disrupted. The computer randomly selected the pairs, and it was completely fair and just except for an additional command in the bottom level that prevented Gongsun Yan and Xiaozhi from meeting each other.
At this time, Gongsun Yan was standing on an ordinary competition field. Xiaozhi and others were standing in the audience seats nearby watching Gongsun Yan's first battle. His game would take a while to start, so they came over to join in the fun.
"Um, please give me your guidance." Gongsun Yan looked at the young man in karate uniform in front of him and greeted him enthusiastically. However, the other party ignored Gongsun Yan at all. Gongsun Yan could occasionally see a look of dissatisfaction in the other party's eyes.
"Oh, Mikoli, oh Mikoli, what evil have you done?" Gongsun Yan sighed to the sky. He thought he was a friendly and amiable person, but now he is like a rat crossing the street. It's all Mikoli's fault!
Chapter 390: Chou Ni's First Battle at the Caiyou Conference
"Then this qualifying match will be between Gongsun Yan from Weibai Town and Cell from Wudou Town!! Each player can only use one Pokémon!" The referee read out the rules of the battle and then retreated to the side of the field.
Although the number of trainers participating in the Caiyou Conference has decreased a lot this time, the specific schedule has not changed much. It is still in the order of preliminaries, preliminary championships, and final championships. 256 contestants will be selected from more than contestants to advance to the preliminary championship stage.
The rules of the preliminary round are roughly that each contestant will have a one-on-one battle, the winner will automatically advance, and the loser will enter the loser group. When all the battles are over, the loser group will have another battle until 256 people are selected.
The rules of the preliminary tournament are different. The 256 players who advance from the reserve round to the preliminary tournament will participate in three doubles matches. Only those who win all of them can advance to the finals. If they lose a single match, they will be automatically eliminated. In the end, only 32 players will remain.
It must be said that the rules of the League Tournament are very cruel. Hundreds of talented trainers compete together, and in the end only 32 contestants can enter the final tournament.
And because the league tournament is not very entertaining to watch, only TV stations will come to film it, and it will gain popularity. Even the consolation bonuses received by trainers who were sent off the field early only add up to as much as the bonuses and ratings received by the top 32 players.
Therefore, for most trainers, if they cannot make it to the final tournament, their travel during this period will be a complete loss. If they come a few more times, they may simply give up their status as trainers and become office workers honestly.
The 32 players who win the preliminary tournament will participate in a full-scale battle using six Pokémon. There are four types of battle fields: grass, rock, water and ice. The field to be used is determined by the roulette wheel. Once three Pokémon of any side lose their ability to fight, the game will be temporarily suspended and the battle field will be changed.
If you want to win the championship, it means you need to defeat all opponents in your way and win all five 6V6 matches. Although for the contestants, the final tournament will only be held once a day, such as the match from the top to the top , the top to the quarterfinals will be held the next day.
However, the damage caused by fierce fighting is often not able to be recovered in one day, so it is necessary to design tactics carefully while ensuring victory, to ensure victory at the lowest cost.
However, it was not a big problem for Gongsun Yan and Xiaozhi. Gongsun Yan saw with his own eyes that Xiaozhi put Suicune's Poké Ball on the registration machine, and it passed the inspection of the alliance and was allowed to be used in the Caiyou Conference.
"Charem, I'm leaving this battle to you. Show this guy our strength!!!" Cell flipped his palm, and a Poké Ball appeared in his hand. He threw it out with a horse stance and punch.
A humanoid Pokémon appeared on the field, with body tissues shaped like red clothes on its head and legs. Its movements were like a dancer from Curry Country. Its body was very slender, and it did a strange yoga pose. It was none other than Charrem, which is known as the meditation Pokémon.
The posture that Charrem made when he appeared was not just a habitual action, but a move called Yoga Pose, which could enhance his physical attack. It was one of the few amplification moves that the league allowed to be used before the game started. After all, it was an action engraved in Charrem's genes and was unlikely to be restricted.
"Charem? It's a Fighting-type Pokémon just as I expected. Even though there's an extra Psychic-type Pokémon, it's no big deal. I'll win this battle!" Gongsun Yan took out a Poké Ball from his waist and threw it out casually.
As the Poké Ball exploded, a slime with a hint of red light on its body appeared on the field. Since he knew that his opponent was a young man in a karate uniform, he deliberately teleported the slime's Poké Ball over, ready to restrain the opponent.
Don't blame Gongsun Yan for using any strategies. This was a complete 1V1 battle. If he didn't take it seriously, even he would have been in trouble. Before the game, he vowed not to meet Xiaozhi until the finals. If he lost the first battle, Gongsun Yan would probably have lost all his face.
Although losing a match in the preliminaries does not mean immediate withdrawal, it is better to avoid unexpected events if possible.
The moment the other party saw the stinky mud, he actually laughed out loud, gave Gongsun Yan a provocative look, and moved his mouth as if he was saying something.
In this regard, Gongsun Yan just wanted to say, "Brother, can you please speak louder? There is a distance between them, and he doesn't have a good hearing, so he can't hear clearly."
However, Gongsun Yan knew at once that the other party was teasing him for releasing a poison-type Pokémon like Mud that was restrained by the Psychic-type Pokémon, and that he had won the battle. These words were nothing new to the kids, as Masamune had already said them.
However, the opponent's fate is obviously no different from Masamune's. Although Charem can also learn long-range supernatural moves such as mental shock, Charem is a thorough physical attacker. He is not very interested in these moves and naturally will not learn them deliberately. Cell's Charem only knows one simple telekinesis move.
The telekinesis used by Masamune's metal monster was unable to cause any harm to the slime. Charem's telekinesis was even more useless than that of the metal monster. It was soon burned to ashes by the flames in the slime's body.
"Damn, telekinesis doesn't work. Charem, use flying knee kick for close combat!" After discovering that telekinesis had no effect on the slime, Cell decisively ordered Charem to use close combat moves for a frontal attack.
"Mud, get out of the way~" Gongsun Yan gave the order in a very lazy manner, which was very similar to the puddle of mud on the field. It's worthy of the relationship between the trainer and Pokémon, exactly the same!
Charem jumped high, bent his knees, covered them with yellow impact energy, and flew towards Chou Ni. Chou Ni seemed not to have heard Gongsun Yan's command, nor to have seen Charem attacking him, and had no intention of moving at all.
Chapter 391: Defeat the Enemy with One Move
“Bang!” “Ah!”
Don't get the wrong idea, this is not the cry that Chouni made after being hit by Charem. To be honest, Gongsun Yan doubted that with Chouni's lazy nature, even if he was really hit by a flying knee kick, he would definitely not make such a tragic cry. After all, screaming also consumes physical energy.
This flying knee kick of Charem was extremely powerful. If it had hit Chou Ni, even if Chou Ni was immune to punches and kicks, he would have been killed with a single blow. But unfortunately, he missed.
Logically speaking, with Chounib's current strength, he could have evolved into Chounib long ago. In addition, Gongsun Yan has a cheat, so it is really incredible that he has not evolved for such a long time. However, this is indeed Chounib's wish, and Gongsun Yan can only respect his choice.
The reason why Mud does this is very simple. Although it can have stronger physical strength and higher racial value after evolving into Mud, the corresponding speed will be slowed down by the enlarged body.
The speed here refers to the movement speed, not the attack speed. Although the attack speed of Slime and Mud-Slime is pitifully low...but being small naturally has its advantages, otherwise the group of babies around Xiaozhi would have difficulty moving in the League Conference, wouldn't they?
Just now, Mud made perfect use of the advantage of his small size. At the moment when Charem's flying knee kick was about to hit him, he moved his body horizontally a short distance. Although he suffered some splash damage after the flying knee kick broke the ground, he managed to avoid it perfectly.
However, although Chou Ni dodged, Charem was not in such a good situation. The flying knee kick was originally a double-edged sword. If it hits the enemy, it can even be the final blow. If it fails to hit the enemy, it can also be the final blow in a sense, but he was the unlucky one.
After Charem's flying knee kick missed, he fell to his knees, holding his knees and enduring the pain in his body. However, he didn't even have the strength to stand up.
"Ah, why are young people so excited nowadays? They actually use flying knee kicks right at the start. Haven't you considered the possibility of missing the target? Besides, your Charam should have the Yoga Power attribute, so you've just done the opposite."
The Yoga Power characteristic is very similar to the Hercules characteristic, and even the effects are the same. It can make the Pokémon's physical attacks more damaging. In layman's terms, it doubles the attack power. Don't underestimate this simple entry. Often the simpler things are, the more terrifying they are.
Gongsun Yan shook his head as he spoke. He looked like he deserved a beating. Just look at the clenched fists of Cell opposite him. If it weren't for the rules of the league conference that clearly prohibited trainers from fighting during battles, he would definitely let Gongsun Yan taste the punches he had practiced for many years.
Of course, it is more likely that he was directly knocked out by Gongsun Yan. If hard work is useful, then what is the use of talent, not to mention that Gongsun Yan is a cheater.
While Gongsun Yan and Cell were having a "cordial and friendly" conversation, Chounib was not idle either, and slowly moved towards Charem. Although Charem thought about escaping, his injured knee reduced his speed to the minimum. Chounib also increased his speed to the extreme, and finally succeeded in wrapping Charem in his body.
"Okay, enough of the nonsense, Mud, open the furnace in your body!" That's right, the reason why Gongsun Yan talked to Cell just now was actually to attract the other party's attention so that Mud could catch Charem.
Cell just reacted now and quickly gave orders to Charem, asking him to use various moves to attack the stinky mud. Although he didn't know what the so-called internal furnace was, he was sure that Gongsun Yan would never do anything in vain. This was the first time in his life that he had seen someone with such a dirty heart. He probably would never forget Gongsun Yan, the man who had dirty his face.
People around could see bulges on Stinky Mud's body from time to time. They knew at a glance that it was the result of Charem's struggle inside Stinky Mud's body. The power of the first move was quite good, and it almost knocked Stinky Mud away, but the struggle became weaker and weaker afterwards, and he should be about to be taken down by Stinky Mud.
In short, after Chou Ni released Charem, Charem had already fallen to the ground, his eyes had turned into circles, he had lost his ability to fight, and there were large areas of burns on his body. It was obvious that he would not be able to recover in a short period of time, at least he would not be able to play in the loser group match.
As for the internal furnace that Gongsun Yan mentioned, it was also very simple. It was simply to wrap the opponent with stinking mud, use the characteristics of its own flaming body to burn the opponent, and then use the flame-jet technique to heat up the opponent, and then grind the opponent to death.
The key point of this tactic lies in the Flame Body trait. Originally, the Flame Body trait is quite useless under normal circumstances. It can be said that it is of no use except for hatching eggs. The increased probability of burns is also very useless.
Pokémon with the Flame Body trait are usually not known for their physical strength. If they are hit by an opponent at close range, they will probably be defeated immediately. There is almost no difference between having this trait or not. Occasionally, there are a few with outstanding physical strength, but the moves that restrain them are generally long-range attacks, which cannot trigger this trait.
Occasionally there will be physical collisions, but because the contacted body area is too small, the chance of triggering burns is pitifully small, so most of the time this feature is used by trainers to keep warm in the wild. Have I to say, it's quite warm.
It's different with stinky mud, his body is fluid, and the contact area is so large that it's unimaginable. If it weren't for the existence of the great river crab god, Gongsun Yan would even dare to make the contact area of stinky mud larger than the opponent's skin area.
However, this tactic is a bit too despicable. If he had not encountered a villain, and the target was Gardevoir, Gongsun Yan would definitely not use this tactic. After all, he also needs his eyes.
Cell, who was very arrogant before the battle, was defeated by Gongsun Yan in one move. This made the other contestants watching on the side silent for a while. At first, they just wanted to teach Gongsun Yan, who was so arrogant, a lesson, but now they feel a little bit troubled by Gongsun Yan's strength. It turns out that there is no reckless man under the reputation, all of them have real talents and skills.
However, many contestants still looked confident, as if they felt that Gongsun Yan's current strength was nothing to them. This was normal. Although the match between Chouni and Chou Ni had a strong impact, its flaws were also obvious, such as it took a lot of time and moved too slowly.
However, they didn't know that among Gongsun Yan's Pokémon, Choumud's strength was not the last, but the second to last. If they knew Gongsun Yan's true strength, they would probably cry bitterly, because this would mean that they had no hope for this Caiyou Conference.
Chapter 392: Feituilang jumped and was killed in an instant!
After the battle, Gongsun Yan politely stepped forward and shook hands with Cell. Although Cell looked very unhappy, he still shook hands with Gongsun Yan, and the ferocious look on his face that he had shown towards Gongsun Yan before was no longer there.
The friendship between trainers is often that simple. If you beat me, then I will recognize you, but that doesn’t mean I submit to you. One day I will win back. Before that, you just need to continue to fight together with me.
Although the outcome of this battle does not mean the end of Cell's life, he also understands his own limitations and is destined to not go far. Gongsun Yan is obviously a trustworthy person, so it is not a bad idea to entrust his dreams to him.
If Gongsun Yan heard what was in Cell's heart, he would probably show an expression of disgust. If it was the dream of a beautiful young lady or little sister, he might have taken on the responsibility, but why should he be entrusted with the dream of such a grown man!
Gongsun Yan would even stay away from the other person to prevent others from seeing their relationship and suspecting it. As for Cell's dream, Gongsun Yan would pick it up with a pretentious attitude, under the pretext of not littering, and he would put it on himself first and throw it away when he had the chance.
Gongsun Yan obviously didn't expect that his current behavior was exactly that of tsundere. As a result, he had no self-awareness at all and could even laugh at others. It was really fun for him to just wait until something happened to him.
After shaking hands with Cell, Gongsun Yan walked down from the arena and began to accept congratulations from his teammates.
"Xiao Yan, congratulations on your victory!" The first person to congratulate Gongsun Yan was naturally Xiao Zhi. Being an impatient person, he naturally wanted to be the first in terms of congratulations.
"Haha, no no, I was just lucky. By the way, how was the battle between Masamune and Tetsuya?"
Gongsun Yan first spoke a few humble words, and then began to inquire about the results of the battle between the other two. After all, the opponent in this battle was not really an obstacle to him, and even if the tactics were not successful, it would not be a big deal, it would just take a little more effort.
"The battle between the two of them is over. The Meowth was fighting against the Cat Boss, and the unevolved Meowth defeated the Cat Boss in just a few moves. As for Masamune's opponent, there was nothing strange about it. The Electabuzz he sent out was defeated by the Metal Monster in no time." Xiaozhi said in disbelief.
"Haha, you still have the nerve to criticize others, you've done a lot of things like unevolved types fighting evolved types!" Gongsun Yan glanced at Xiaozhi and kept criticizing him in his heart, but of course he didn't say it out loud.
"That Meow Meow is not simple. It is broken and then stood up. It is broken and then stood up. It sounds simple, but there are only a few who can stand up after breaking. It can only be called a miracle."
Gongsun Yan shook his head with emotion, he knew the whole story of Zheye's cat. This cat had been defeated by the cat boss in the battle for the leader, and had been left with sequelae that would never go away, and at one point it couldn't even stand up.
And this is not the worst part. As we all know, when wild animals compete for the leader, the loser will be directly expelled from the group. The same is true for wild Pokémon. That is to say, a Meowth that cannot stand will also be expelled from the group. How can a Meowth that cannot stand survive in the wild?
Fortunately, the seriously injured Meow Meow was discovered by Zheye. Under Zheye's care, Meow Meow recovered, but still could not stand up. Originally, Zheye did not say that Meow Meow must stand up. He was even willing to keep Meow Meow forever. After all, it doesn't cost much to raise a Meow Meow.
But Miaomiao was unwilling. He was unwilling to stay in bed and be a waste from now on, so he wanted to change this fate. After a painful time, Miaomiao overcame the sequelae, stood up successfully, and became the trump card in Zheye's hand, with strength reaching the quasi-king level.
It can even be said that this cat has a demonic willpower and determination to become stronger. If it were in a purely idealistic world, Gongsun Yan would not be surprised to hear that this cat could defy the will of heaven and defeat gods.
After Gongsun Yan told Xiaozhi and the others the story of Meowth, they also fell silent. Although they guessed that something extraordinary had happened to Meowth, they did not expect it to be such a touching story.
Xiaozhi and Xiaogang even thought of the Meowth from Team Rocket. Although the experiences of these two Meowths are different, their belief in changing their fate is exactly the same. The only difference is that one takes the route of force and the other takes the route of intelligence. They each have their own merits.
"Okay, Xiaozhi, don't think too much. Hurry up and get ready. It's almost time for you to go to the battle field." Gongsun Yan glanced at the time on the battle field and reminded Xiaozhi.
"Okay, then I'll go!" Thinking that he could finally play in the game, Xiaozhi became excited and rushed to the venue where he was going to fight. He even burst into high-speed movement and disappeared in just a blink of an eye.
In response to Xiaozhi's reaction, Gongsun Yan and the others could only smile helplessly and quickly got up and rushed over. Given Xiaozhi's current condition, if they had arrived too late, Xiaozhi would probably have defeated his opponent. Don't doubt it, Xiaozhi is really that ferocious now.
After rushing hard, everyone finally arrived at the battle site before Xiaozhi started. But before they could catch their breath, they saw Chang Wei fighting... No, it was the movie star Pikachu who stopped pretending!
That's right, Pikachu actually went all out in the first battle. Xiaozhi's opponent in this round was the same as Gongsun Yan's previous opponent, both fighters from Fighting Town, and the Pokémon he used was Flying Legs, which was famous for its jumping ability.
This unlucky kid started to let himself go after seeing that his opponent was a small and cute Pikachu. He actually let Flying Legs jump into the air at the very beginning, and it seemed that he was going to defeat Pikachu with one move.
After that, the unlucky kid was killed by Pikachu in one move. He got up, and then he was killed in one move. What can I say? Have you seen a bowl-sized 100,000 volt? You haven't seen it, Gongsun Yan said he hadn't seen it either! The thunder that his Dragonite used on a rainy day was only of this scale, which shows how much strength Pikachu had hidden before.
Chapter 393: Xiao Guang, the representative of the adventure genre
How can I put it? Anyway, when Xiaozhi's opponent left the field, he was completely dazed, his steps were unsteady, and it seemed like he had just come out of a hair salon, although he couldn't go there at his current age.
At this point, all the friends Gongsun Yan knew had completed the preliminary rounds. Xiaozhi was the last one, and his results were very good. None of them failed, and all of them won.
But what Xiaozhi did was indeed the most brutal one among all of them. Didn’t you see that the unlucky kid fell down when he was leaving the field, and he hasn’t recovered yet. It was really a bit too much.
But Xiaozhi obviously didn't expect this to happen. He just let Pikachu use 100,000 volts to open the game as usual, but the opponent's flying leg fell to the ground with his whole body burnt black. It was burnt so evenly that there was not even a piece of intact skin. It was burnt on the outside and tender on the inside.
"Brother Yan, congratulations on winning the preliminaries." Xiaoguang was the only one who would speak to Gongsun Yan in such a tone. Naturally, others would not be so polite.
"Oh, it's not worth mentioning, not worth mentioning. You are also very good. You actually passed the first Pokémon Identification Examination in the Hoenn region and became the only qualified person. You are worthy of it. Your basic knowledge is so solid." Gongsun Yan patted Xiaoguang on the shoulder, looking like an older brother, although he is only a few days older than Xiaoguang.
"It's just luck. There were fewer people participating in the Saiyou Conference this year, so the Alliance also established a Pokémon Alliance Appraisal Center in the Hoenn region. I was able to obtain the qualification badge by chance. It's much worse than those of you, Brother Yan, who have actually challenged all eight gyms."
Xiaoguang was as humble as ever, and he didn't look like he was being sarcastic, but rather he truly believed that from the bottom of his heart.
"Well... humility is a good quality, but sometimes you don't need to be so humble. With your Pokémon combination, who would dare to say that you are just here for a one-round tour~."
Gongsun Yan glanced at the Pokémon standing behind Xiaoguang and said with a slightly twitching mouth. Xiaozhi, Masamune, Tetsuya and others standing beside him nodded in agreement. As for Xiaogang and the others, they were not here. He and Xiaosheng were dragged away by Xiaoyao to eat dessert, under the pretext of letting Gongsun Yan and the others practice well. However, if they were standing here, they would agree with everyone's point of view.
"Eh? Really? I think it's just so-so. Brother Yan, you have so many Pokémon, but I only have six. Is it true that going out to challenge gyms is the right way to go?" Xiaoguang glanced at the Pokémon behind him, and instead of agreeing, he said with regret.
"......Xiaoguang, shut up now. If you continue to be so Versailles, we may not be able to control ourselves and take action. Don't provoke us." Gongsun Yan looked at Xiaoguang in front of him, and suddenly felt that he saw the father in his previous life who had no interest in money again. Putting aside other things, the feeling of deserved a beating was the same.
Let's take a look at what kind of Pokémon are behind Xiaoguang. The first one is Gardevoir. This is normal. It was handed over to the other party by Gongsun Yan himself. Although it was prepared by Xiaoguang's parents for him, after living with Xiaoguang for a while, it successfully evolved into Gardevoir, from a super loli to a super queen, but its appearance is still very high.
The second one is Hyperaptor, which is nothing, it is just a gift from Senri to Xiaoguang. With Xiaoguang's hard training, it finally evolved from Sloth to Hyperaptor. As for the evolution to Absence King, the time is still too short. And Xiaoguang is still a little naive to command Absence King. This kind of Pokémon is not so easy to command.
The third one is Tanabata Bluebird, which is a bit enviable, but it's okay. Who here doesn't have a similar rare Pokémon? At most, it's not as good-looking as Tanabata Bluebird. I'm a bit jealous, but I can still resist. It's no big deal.
After that, things started to get outrageous. The remaining three can be named at once, and they are a set. Charizard, Venusaur, and Blastoise. It is a set of the Kanto Trinity. They are powerful, good-looking (except Venusaur), and have classic styles. You deserve it.
Anyway, when Gongsun Yan saw this combination, he thought he saw Xiaozhi, and a high-end version of him. All the three starter Pokémons were included, and they were all final evolutions. It was simply outrageous, absolutely outrageous.
This is not the most outrageous part. If these three starter puppies were prepared by Xiaoguang's parents, there would be no problem. Even the dog owner would not scold him, after all, they are all friends. However, these three starter puppies were captured by Xiaoguang himself during the short period of time when he was traveling.
