Chapter 760 The Celebration Ends

After thinking about it, Xia You still felt that maybe Xiaoyao wanted to use Pokémon with grass and fire attributes to achieve an effect where one plus one is greater than two.

But no matter what Xiaoyao's plans are, now that the lineup has been determined, we can only hope that she has a good performance.

With Vivian's command, the countdown on the timing board began and the competition officially began!

In this battle, it was Xiao Shun who once again took the initiative and was the first to order an attack.

This also made Xia You realize some problems. He found that Xiaoyao was not very offensive, including the previous battle against Harry or Dun Ping. She was always half a beat slower in the battle, giving up the initiative, turning the initiative into passivity, and was forced to launch a defensive counterattack.

This was highly undesirable and caused her to lose the initiative.

After all, offense is the best defense. Taking action early means being able to cause damage to the opponent earlier and score first, which is extremely important in such situations!

I can only say that Xiaoyao has been training for too short a time and has many bad habits. If he were to go through training in another area, he would definitely not be like this now.

There is still a lot of room for growth...

In the field, under Xiao Shun's command, Poison Rose used Petal Dance, and Desert Dragonfly quickly passed through the Petal Dance and flew towards the Strong Chicken and Cattail on the opposite side.

Fortunately, although Xiaoyao did not take the initiative, he responded calmly.

She first ordered Xiangwei Miao to use Borrowing, and successfully borrowed the jet vortex of the Strong Chicken beside her, instantly igniting the petals and breaking this move. Then she ordered the Strong Chicken to use the Sky Punch to force back the rapidly approaching Desert Dragonfly.

Unfortunately, the Strong Chicken's jumping height was a little insufficient, and although it forced the Desert Dragonfly back, its punch did not hit the opponent.

Seeing this scene, not only Xiaoyao, but also Xiaoxia and Xiaozhi in the stands secretly felt it was a pity.

Although the first attack failed, Xiao Shun didn't care and continued to organize the second attack.

This time, Xiao Shun did not approach again, but asked Desert Dragonfly to use Jet Fire and Poison Rose to use Solar Beam, and shot them at Xiao Yao again.

These are two extremely powerful moves. If you are really hit, it will undoubtedly be a very dangerous thing.

Because they came too fast, it was almost impossible for Xiaoyao to let the Pokémon dodge. Seeing the jet flames and solar beams getting closer and closer, she made a quick decision and quickly ordered Brachyceph to use the Fire Vortex.

Faced with two powerful moves, Strong Chicken also spewed flames from its mouth, but strangely enough, the power of the flame vortex was not enough to block the jet of flames and the solar beam, but somehow, when the three moves collided with each other, it actually caused a larger vortex, and the moves of the Desert Dragonfly and the Poison Rose could not move forward even a single step!

The seemingly weaker vortex of fire, rotating in a regular pattern, actually managed to withstand two powerful moves!

This is incredible, but it is happening right before people's eyes!

Xiao Shun was also a little surprised by this unexpected turn of events, and just when he was stunned, with Xiao Yao's shout, the flames sprayed out by the strong chicken became even stronger, and actually directly bounced back the jet flames and solar beams!

In just a blink of an eye, the Desert Dragonfly and Poison Rose were hit by the rebounded moves and suffered a great loss!

The explosion produced a huge smoke screen that enveloped the stadium. People looked up at the big screen and saw that Xiao Shun's yellow energy bar was much shorter.

"Great!" Xiaozhi waved his fist vigorously and said happily, "I didn't expect Xiaoyao to succeed first! At this rate, he might be able to beat Xiaoshun!"

Not only Xiaozhi was excited, but even Xiaoxia and the others on the side couldn't help but feel happy for Xiaoyao when they saw that she had the upper hand.

After all, in their opinion, as long as Xiaoyao does this a few more times, he will be able to defeat Xiaoshun and successfully enter the top four!

However, although she was very sorry, Xia You poured a bucket of cold water on them at this time.

"Xiaoyao and her Pokémon performed very well, but Xiaoshun should win this battle."

"What?" Hearing him say that, Xiaozhi and the others were stunned and asked in confusion, "Xiao Shun will win? But didn't Xiaoyao perform better?"

Xiaoxia was also surprised and said, "Yes, Brother Xia You, look, didn't she just bounce back the moves of Desert Dragonfly and Poison Rose?"

Several people were very confused, wondering why Xia You dared to conclude that Xiao Shun would win. Only Xiao Gang at the side thought seriously for a moment and slowly gave his own opinion: "I think Mr. Xia You wants to say that Xiao Shun has not been serious until now, right?"

Xiao Gang is indeed the calm and steady type. As long as there is no pretty older sister around, his IQ and insight are still very good.

Nodding, Xia You continued, "Look carefully, Xiao Shun's face has been calm from beginning to end, which is in sharp contrast to Xiao Yao's caution. This is not overconfidence, nor does it mean that he looks down on Xiao Yao. Instead, he is testing Xiao Yao with a relaxed attitude."

"Even if that's the case..." Xiaozhi was still very confused, "That doesn't mean Xiaoyao will lose..."

Xia You continued, "Of course, although Xiao Shun's mentality doesn't mean anything, but if you look at its Pokémon again, do you find that they are still not panicked after being attacked like this? Or they look like they are at ease?"

Hearing his words, Xiaozhi and his friends hurried to check on Poison Rose and Desert Dragonfly, and found that it was just as Xia You said, after enduring their attack, these two Pokémon not only did not suffer too much damage, but their condition was also maintained very well, and they seemed eager to try.

Before they could feel surprised, Xia You's voice echoed in their ears again.

"In fact, Xiao Shun also regarded Xiao Yao as an opponent who was equal to himself in his heart, and he also wanted to test how much Xiao Yao had grown, so he acted so casually. If I guess correctly, after the test just now, he should also use his full strength."

What is champion insight?

This is!

Just as Xia You finished speaking, the situation on the field suddenly changed, just as he said.

It can be clearly felt that Xiao Shun's offensive rhythm has obviously accelerated!

This change made Xiaoyao unable to adapt in a short period of time, and she soon fell into a disadvantage.

Time passes little by little.

The Desert Dragonfly and the Poison Rose launched attacks frequently, while the Strong Chicken and the Tailed Cat, while resisting the attacks, also launched timely counterattacks.

The two sides fought back and forth in a very tense situation, but anyone with a discerning eye could see that the situation was developing in Xiao Shun's favor!

Even those who didn't know much about combat could tell that Xiaoyao was on the edge of the cliff just by looking at the yellow energy bar.

The situation is not good...

Seeing that Xiaoyao fell into such a disadvantage in just a minute or two, Xiaozhi and the others felt their hearts sink as well.

0:45…

0:44…

Time is still decreasing little by little.

Although nothing can be seen in terms of physical strength, the yellow energy bar representing Xiaoyao's score now has only one bar left. Looking at Xiaoshun, it is still nearly half the length.

This also means that if Xiaoyao endures one more attack, he will most likely be eliminated!

Xiaoyao naturally knew her situation, so when Xiaoshun once again ordered the Desert Dragonfly to use jet flames, she launched her final counterattack.

The jet of flame shot straight towards Xiangwei Miao and Strong Chicken, and Xiaoyao's Strong Chicken jumped up and actually took the initiative to get into the flame. Before people could be surprised, they saw that Strong Chicken's whole body was like bathing in flames. While jumping under the Desert Dragonfly, it used a sky punch, which not only dispersed all the flames, but also punched the Desert Dragonfly hard in the face!

This punch was so brilliant that the audience immediately responded with warm applause and cheers.

However, although Xiaoyao's performance was very eye-catching, this also became her last swan song.

After Flycatcher landed, Ashun immediately launched a counterattack. He first let Rosebush use paralysis powder to paralyze Stomach and Meowth, and then let Flycatcher use Steel Wings to hit Xiaoyao's two Pokémon hard.

boom!

Strong Chicken and Tail Cat had no way of dodge and could only watch themselves being knocked away.

At the same time as the two Pokémon flew backwards, Xiaoyao's energy bar on the big screen was reset to zero!

The time finally stopped at 0:03 seconds.

There are only 3 seconds left and the 5-minute countdown will be over. This shows how tense this battle is.

Of course, even if Xiao Shun didn't launch the final attack, Xiao Yao would definitely lose based on the score when the time was up.

Seeing that the winner was decided, the audience cheered for Xiaoshun's victory and also gave applause to Xiaoyao. Although he lost, they were also grateful to Xiaoyao for such a wonderful game.

And Xiaoyao on the stage, after being lost for a moment, whispered to comfort her two Pokémon, then stood up and bowed to the audience who were still cheering for her.

At this time, Xia You and others also stood up, left the audience and went to the contestant channel.

When they walked to the door, they happened to meet Xiaoyao who was leaving the stage.

"Sister, you just performed really well!"

"Xiaoyao, you did a great job!"

As soon as they met, Mitsuko, Kacchan, Misty, Satoshi and Brock all gave them encouragement. They were not at all disappointed about Xiaoyao being eliminated. Instead, they all sincerely congratulated her.

Even Xia You was among the crowd applauding silently at the end.

Although he was eliminated in the quarterfinals, this result is already very good. You have to know that he stood out from 8 contestants who won five ribbon medals and made it all the way to the quarterfinals, which is already an extremely outstanding performance.

And most importantly, this is Xiaoyao's first time to participate in such a large-scale celebration, and it is already a remarkable achievement to achieve this result.

At least compared to Xiaozhi, ahem... forget it, let’s not mention it.

After they got together, they left the stadium and went to a nearby restaurant to have lunch.

While having lunch, they also watched the next game on TV.

After defeating Xiaoyao to enter the semi-finals, Xiaoshun eliminated another opponent and finally met Robert in the final for the final competition. The winner will become the champion of this large-scale celebration.

After taking a sip of juice, Xiaozhi asked the others curiously, "Who do you think will win in the end?"

"It should be Robert."

"I guess it's Robert too. He's too strong."

Xiaozhi certainly didn't expect that after asking this question, he would get such a unified answer.

"What? I thought you were going to talk about Xiao Shun!"

Xiao Gang smiled and said, "Although Xiao Shun is very strong, his strength is still a little inferior to Robert. There should be no suspense."

Unwilling to give up, Xiaozhi turned his head to Xia You, but unexpectedly he got the same answer.

"I guess it should be Robert. As for the reasons, they have already said it, so I don't need to repeat it."

Just as they guessed, they could see on TV that after the two fought, although Shun tried his best, Robert's two Pokémon - Milotic and Psychic Claymore - were too strong, so strong that they seemed to be on a different level from Shun, and the game was almost killed with more than two minutes left.

As for why I said almost?

That’s because Xiao Shun’s energy bar has only the last bar left, compared to Robert’s energy bar which has most left, there is almost no suspense.

But even so, Shun still held on to the end, and when the time ran out, his two Pokémon finally fell.

With great cheers, the champion of this grand celebration was born.

Seeing Xiaoshun's lost expression, Xiaoyao also clenched his fists.

Such a result is really regrettable.

Xiao Shun defeated himself with a huge advantage, but lost to Robert in the same way. It was like a food chain. Although it was unwilling, it was so difficult to cross.

Several people watched on TV as Robert went on stage to receive the award and then saw the celebration come to an end.

However, just like at the beginning of the main competition, there was also a performance at the end of the celebration, and it was the person Xiaoxia least wanted to see - Lukia!

Looking at the charming Lucia on the stage, Xiaoxia's eyes gradually became firm, and she finally made a decision in her heart at this moment.

……

8pm, magnificent celebration square.

A grand open-air party is being held here at this moment. This is a consistent tradition of the grand celebration. It is the final dinner held to thank all the players for their efforts and to celebrate the emergence of a new champion.

Only after everyone has eaten and drunk their fill, will the celebration truly come to an end.

The party was a buffet, and because the food was so delicious, Xiaozhi and his friends had already run away and didn't know where to go.

Xiaoyao sat at the long table, swallowed the last piece of food on the plate, and was about to walk back and forth to digest the food when he saw Xiaoxia walking up to him.

"Xiaoyao, can you walk with me?"

Xiaoyao was stunned when she heard this. She heard something unusual in her friend's tone.

Strange, what happened to her?

is something happened?

Although Xiaoyao was confused, she didn't ask any questions. She just nodded and stood up.

"of course!"
