I got the Pokémon

As Vivian announced the start of the game, the numbers on the scoreboard on the sidelines also jumped.

5:00…

4:59……

4:58……

The time was running out, and at the same time, Harry gave the order at the first possible moment.

He first let the Cursed Doll use the Screaming Sound, and then let the Dream Song Cactus use the Seed Machine Gun. The two moves were shot at Bulbasaur and Hunting Butterfly one after another.

Because Xiaoyao was slow to speak, Harry took the initiative and she could only defend herself passively.

However, last night’s special training also showed up at this time.

After being beaten for a long time, they really knew how to avoid such attacks. Faced with such a combination of moves, the two Pokémon dodged calmly, which made Harry's expectations go straight to nothing.

And that’s not all. After dodging the attack, Bulbasaur extended two vines from the flower bud and grabbed the feet of the Dream Song Cactus and the Cursed Doll at lightning speed.

Although Harry ordered them to dodge, the vines were too fast. His two Pokémon were restrained by the vines just as they were about to dodge!

Not giving them a chance to break free, the Hunting Swallowtail Butterfly used Silver Tornado, and the strong wind successfully hit them and caused a considerable blow!

This is not the end. After the silver whirlwind, Xiaoyao once again ordered Bulbasaur to throw out the Dreamsong Cactus and the Cursed Doll like a spinning top. Just as the two Pokémon were spinning in the air, Hunting Swallowtail used the silver whirlwind again and blew on them!

Affected by the strong wind, the two Pokémon suddenly accelerated and finally fell heavily to the ground!

People cheered. Not only did the audience like the gorgeous moves just shown, but even several judges nodded approvingly.

The yellow bar representing Harry's 'health bar' suddenly decreased significantly, which also meant that in this battle, Xiaoyao was the first to achieve results!

"Great!" In the stands, Xiaoxia couldn't help but cheer, obviously happy for her friend's performance, "If you continue on this trend, it's only a matter of time before you defeat Harry!"

As a mother, Mitsuko was also very happy about Xiaoyao's performance, but she was still puzzled and asked: "Why does it feel like Xiaoyao has become so powerful in just one night?"

Xiaosheng at the side quickly told her about Xia You's training for Xiaoyao last night. When Mitsuko heard that it was this reason, she looked at Xia You with gratitude and said sincerely: "Mr. Xia You, thank you so much, thank you for taking care of Xiaoyao."

"No." Because there were several people between them, Xia You could only lean forward and waved at her, "You're welcome. Xiaoyao is a very talented person. All of this is the result of her own hard work. I just helped her a little."

Listening to the polite exchanges between the two adults regarding Xiaoyao, Xiaoxia's heart moved, and then her face showed a thoughtful look, obviously considering something seriously.

The battle on the field continued and time was slowly passing, with less than 4 minutes left.

He got up from the ground with difficulty. Perhaps because he had just spun too much, Mengge Cactus and Cursed Doll were still dizzy and swaying on the stage. He couldn't even tell where his opponent was.

Under Xia You's teaching, Xiaoyao also understood the principle of giving a heavy blow to a fallen dog.

Just as Harry loudly wanted to make the Dream Song Cactus and the Cursed Doll regain consciousness, Xiaoyao's next attack arrived.

A large number of petals suddenly floated in the air, sprinkling towards the Cursed Doll and the Dream Song Cactus, sweeping them up and causing damage. At the same time, a section of Harry's yellow bar on the screen disappeared again!

Up to now, things have been developing completely in Xiaoyao's favor.

But anyway, it’s not because Xiaoyao’s Pokémon is stronger than Harry’s Dreamsong Cactus and Cursed Doll.

This effect only occurs because the offensive rhythm is one wave after another and the connection is very good.

If Harry wanted to break the deadlock, he could stop Xiaoyao's attack as long as he could interrupt Xiaoyao's rhythm once. But the good thing about Xiaoyao was that she didn't make even a single mistake today!

This meant that Harry had no way to stop it and could only watch his Pokémon getting beaten.

Of course, Harry had thought about counterattacking. After the Dreamsong Cactus finally managed to withstand the dance of the petals, he quickly ordered the Dreamsong Cactus to use its missile needles to shoot out countless sharp thorns to fight against the dancing petals. It turned out that it actually managed to temporarily block the petals!

Under the attack of these spikes, the petals turned into fragments and slowly fell from the air.

However, the effect of doing so is only temporary.

Even if it is a cactus with thorns all over its body, how could it possibly shoot down all the petals with the number of missile needles?

Just when Mengge Cactus was busy dealing with the petals, Xiaoyao's final attack arrived.

Bulbasaur performed Leaf Blade and Hunting Butterfly performed Silver Tornado. The leaves borrowed the wind's speed and the wind borrowed the leaves' power. The two moves were combined together, complementing each other in the air, and in just the blink of an eye, they all hit the Dream Song Cactus and the Cursed Doll!

The Mengge Cactus and the Cursed Doll could not withstand such an attack at all. They fell on their backs and lost their ability to fight.

Harry's face turned pale and red, and he stood there for a long time, obviously unable to accept such a result!

But no matter how reluctant he was, Wei Wei'an's voice had already echoed over the stadium through the microphone.

"Contestant Harry's score is reset to zero! Contestant Xiaoyao successfully advances to the next round!"

There was applause from the audience.

"Very good!!!"

Xiaozhi, Xiaoxia and others also clapped their hands to celebrate. After all, their opponent this time was Harry, and being able to defeat him fairly in the arena was a way to vent their anger.

While the people around him were cheering, Xia You also took a special look at the time on the stopwatch.

The time of this game was finally fixed at 2 minutes and 27 seconds.

Although he didn't remember how long it took Xiaoyao to defeat Harry in the anime, it shouldn't have been this fast, and it certainly wasn't as easy as it is now.

It seems that the results of my special training are quite effective!

This also gave him a small sense of accomplishment.

If I stop traveling one day, it seems like there would be a market for me to find a place to train those novice trainers!

Xiaoyao on the stage was also celebrating with her two Pokémon. Compared with her, it can be clearly seen that Harry looked unwilling after taking back the Pokémon, but in the end he glared at Xiaoyao and turned away.

After all, this was not like the private battle between him and Xia You. It was in public, facing such a result, and he had no choice but to admit it even if he didn't want to.

After celebrating for a while, Xiaoyao took the two Pokémon off the stage and went backstage to rest.

For her, although winning is indeed worth being happy about, this is not the only game today.

After the first round, the players who advance to the top 16 will continue to be randomly matched to determine the top 8 and top 4. Even the champion will be decided today. It can be said that the schedule is very tight and intense!

This meant that even though Xiaoyao won, she still had no time to join up with them, and instead had to hurry up and adjust her condition.

After Xiaoyao left the stage, several groups of players came on stage, including Xiaoshun and Robert. However, these two performed very stably, defeating their opponents with a large advantage and entering the next round.

However, more than an hour later, when Xiaoyao came on the court again, his opponent had changed to a fat man named Dunping.

Xia You had never dealt with this person before, but Xiaozhi and his friends helped him take back the stolen ribbon medal from Team Rocket on the day of the preliminaries. It can be said that they became friends at that time.

But this has nothing to do with Xiaoyao. After all, she did not help in this matter. She has only met Dunping a few times. Moreover, even if they are friends, they should focus on the competition in such occasions, not to mention that they are just acquaintances.

And there's nothing much to say about this game.

Dunping's strength is comparable to Harry's, and both are around the top 8 level, but unfortunately in this game, he met Xiaoyao who is in the ascendant.

After defeating Harry with a big advantage, Xiaoyao continued that state and performed bravely in this battle. He used the combination of Brachydios and Bulbasaur to defeat Dunping's Devourer and Kairos.

However, although he won, Dunping still had an outstanding performance, especially when he let Kairos hide in the mouth of the devouring beast and used a combination tactic, which caused great trouble to Xiaoyao for a time.

Fortunately, Xiaoyao withstood the pressure, and at the moment when Kairos left the mouth of the Devouring Beast, he seized the opportunity and defeated them in one fell swoop!

The remaining time of the game was fixed at 0 minutes and 37 seconds.

This can be said to be the closest match to the end of the game, and Xiaoyao's energy bar has dropped by nearly half, which shows that this battle is not easy.

But no matter what, a win is a win, and Xiaoyao successfully advanced to the top 8.

For a newcomer, this is already a very good result. According to the scale and level of this celebration, Xiaoyao's current performance has completely surpassed the results achieved by Xiaozhi when he first participated in the Quartz Conference!

From this point of view, Xiaoyao is undoubtedly successful and worth celebrating.

And unlike Xiaozhi, she has not stopped yet and there is still a possibility that she can continue to challenge for the championship!

After Xiaoyao left the stage, it was soon Xiaoshun and Robert's turn to fight, and as expected, the two defeated their opponents and advanced to the top 8.

At this point, the intensity of the competition reached a new level.

None of those who can make it to the top eight are simple characters. It can even be said that the next grouping is extremely important and may directly affect the ownership of the championship!

If he was grouped with weaker players, he would be directly promoted to the finals, but if he was unlucky and faced someone like Robert, he would most likely stop there.

Everyone stared at the big screen nervously.

Not only the contestants, but even the audience held their breath, waiting for the final answer to be revealed.

As the avatars on the big screen kept turning, it didn’t take long before the 8 to 4 battle groups appeared in front of people!

Almost at a glance, Xia You and the others saw Xiaoyao, and her opponent was none other than - Xiaoshun!

Everyone except Xia You was surprised by this grouping!

On the one hand, although they knew that it was inevitable to meet each other as the number of people decreased, they did not expect to meet them in this round, which was indeed beyond their expectations. On the other hand, they had just defeated Harry and now had to fight Xiao Shun. It could be said that all the people who had grudges with them were unlucky enough to meet Xiao Yao!

Only Xia You felt that they were in the same group in the anime, and could only sigh - what a fateful duel.

Just like Xiaozhi's rival in the novice village of Kanto is Xiaomao, Xiaoyao's rival is undoubtedly Xiaoshun, and their meeting is like arranged by fate and cannot be avoided even if they want to.

Since Xiaoyao was not around, they didn't know how Xiaoyao felt at the moment, but they could imagine that her mood must be very complicated.

People didn't have to wait too long. After a short break, the competition into top 8 officially began.

The only good news is that Xiaoyao’s battle is not her first, which gives her more time to allow the Pokémon to recover more strength while Xiaoyao can also formulate some targeted tactics.

Of course, this time is also very limited, but after a few minutes of rest, as the first group of contestants decided the winner, Xiaoyao also came on stage at this time.

Through the big screen, people can clearly see Xiaoyao's expression at this moment, which is heavier than any previous scene. Even at such a distance, one can seem to feel the pressure she is facing.

Even the momentum from before disappeared at some point, replaced by a pursed mouth and a very serious face.

"Gudong." Xiaosheng couldn't help swallowing his saliva and said nervously, "It seems that my sister is so nervous. I have never seen such an expression on her face..."

"Of course." Xia You said, "After all, she is facing Xiao Shun, whose performance has always been better than Xiao Yao's. Facing such an opponent and in such a situation, it would be strange if she wasn't nervous."

At Vivian's signal, Xiaoyao and Xiaoshun released their Pokémon at the same time.

In this battle, the two Pokémon sent out by Xiaoyao were Meowth and Brachydios, while the ones sent out by Xiaoshun were Rhynchos and Fluttershy.

Seeing such a lineup, Xia You frowned slightly.

I don't know what Xiaoyao was thinking. He didn't send Bulbasaur and Butterfree. Although Meowth and Charmeleon are not restrained by these two Pokémon, they are obviously not a good choice compared to Bulbasaur and Butterfree who had been trained last night.

This is not to say that there are differences in attributes and strengths, but after training together, the tacit understanding will allow Bulbasaur and Hunting Butterfly to perform better when combined.

Could it be that Xiaoyao has other plans?

Or was it because Bulbasaur and hunting Papilio were running out of energy, forcing her to make this choice?
