Chapter 766: Temptation is not enough

A momentary brilliant performance does not mean anything. Although Ibrahimovic's performance was outstanding and Flammilfiger's connection was also very good, it was not enough to affect the entire battle situation.

The battle has just begun, and the attribute restraint of King Swallow and Alakazam on Flame Chicken has not changed. Although there was some defeat in the first fight, Ryohei did not take it to heart.

The only thing to note is that Eevee is close to Alakazam, which is very disadvantageous for most Psychic-attribute Pokémon. They no longer have a safe space to attack, and they must create a certain distance again.

After all, except for a few Psychic-type Pokémon with melee capabilities, most Psychic Pokémon lack effective means of close combat, which makes them somewhat helpless when facing approaching opponents.

However, for them, creating distance is just a matter of teleportation.

At Ryohei's signal, Alakazam used instant teleportation to the other side of the battlefield.

Just when Alakazam appeared, another blazing flame swept over and enveloped Alakazam!

"What!?"

Everyone was very surprised to see this scene.

The host couldn't help but blurt out: "Contestant Xia You actually predicted Alakazam's next move in advance and let Flame Chicken attack in advance? But how did he predict where Alakazam would appear?"

This is indeed incredible.

You have to know that the battlefield is a rectangular, open space that is not big but not small either. In such a place, the chance of accurately encountering Alakazam's appearance is extremely low, not to mention launching an attack with full confidence, which is not something that ordinary people can do!

It would be really embarrassing if the prediction was wrong and the fire burned in the wrong place!

Not to mention the host and the audience were surprised, even the contestants watching the game felt a little unbelievable when they put themselves in Ryohei's perspective.

It can be seen that this is purely suppression between trainers...

In fact, prediction is not that magical. After all, they have been trainers for so long, and who hasn’t made a prediction once or twice?

But the amazing thing about it is that this is not about forcing the opponent into a corner and then relying on the sixth sense or experience to guess the opponent's next move within a limited range, but about accurately guessing what moves the opponent will use and where he will appear in an extremely open ground, with an accuracy rate of 100%, and even acting decisively without any hesitation!

This determination alone surpasses most trainers!

Among all the people, the one who felt the most incredible was naturally Ryohei.

The original intention was to let Alakazam use instant teleportation to create distance. The order was given immediately and the position was random, but who would have thought that even this decision that he had just made was guessed by Xia You!

This is not just amazing, it’s too amazing!!

Before he had time to think about it, he heard the painful sound of Alakazam in the flames. He came to his senses and quickly asked the King Swallow to blow air to extinguish the flames.

But at this moment, Eevee came closer again and used High Speed ​​Star on Alakazam.

Now anyone with a discerning eye can see that Xia You is concentrating on dealing with Hu Di, but this is not difficult to understand. After all, the King Swallow has been in the sky all the time, and ordinary attacks can be easily avoided by it. It is undoubtedly the right approach to deal with the one on the ground first.

Alakazam had just escaped from the flames when he was hit by a high-speed star again.

And the worst thing was that it actually triggered the burning state, with dark red burn marks all over its body, looking both painful and somewhat miserable.

This also made Liangping regret sending Da Wangyan into the game.

If it were other Pokémon on the ground, they could share the pressure with Alakazam or provide cover, thus preventing Alakazam from being attacked like this one in succession.

But it's too late to think about this now.

The most urgent task now is to change this situation, otherwise if this happens again, Alakazam will be the first to lose its combat capability!

This also made him dare not let the King Swallow fly too high or too far, but instead he stayed around Hu Di to protect its safety.

But in this way, King Yan's mobility was greatly restricted. Although it did temporarily protect the Hu land, it also gave the initiative to Xia You.

But there is no way around it. Under the influence of the burns, Alakazam cannot use his telekinesis as he wishes, and he has to drag on for this period of time.

Fortunately, the man opposite him did not order his Pokémon to attack for some reason, which gave him some breathing time.

And seeing that Xia You actually let go of this opportunity and didn't take the chance to attack Liangping, Xiaozhi and the others in the stands were puzzled.

"Why not attack?" Xiaozhi frowned, feeling a little puzzled. "It was a good opportunity just now. If we wait until Alakazam's burning state disappears, won't all our efforts just now be in vain?"

Not only him, but everyone else didn't understand why Xia You did this.

"We missed the best opportunity." Zhe also nodded, "If it were me, I would definitely take advantage of the victory and defeat Alakazam in one fell swoop!"

Masamune asked in confusion, "Is it because he didn't grasp it? Or did he fail to react?"

Apart from Xiaoxia, who blindly believed in Xia You and knew that there must be some hidden meaning behind Xia You's actions, Xiaogang was the only one among the group who vaguely guessed something.

Looking at Eevee and Blaziken, who had become more and more agile during the battle, and looking around at the cheering audience in the stands, Xiaogang knew that perhaps Xia You was not in a hurry to attack in order to adjust the state of his Pokémon.

As expected of the champion of two regions, he really has more than others thought...

After hesitating for a while, he did not tell anyone about his discovery. After all, this kind of thing requires one to comprehend on one's own. If Xiaozhi and the others also realized this, they would naturally adjust the state of their Pokémon like Xia You through the currently not-so-intense battles. But if they did not realize it, it also meant that their vision had not yet reached this point and they could not force it.

But obviously, Xiaozhi and the other two had been watching in the stands for a long time but still couldn't figure out Xia You's intention.

In response to this, Xiaogang just shook his head helplessly. Of course, this is not a big deal. After all, even without adjustment, some Pokémon can still perform well in the arena.

But obviously, Xia You's ability to give such instructions at this time proves that he thinks more than others. Although doing so will not directly make him the champion, because it can allow Pokémon to get into the state as early as possible, he will inevitably achieve a better result than other players. As people often say, the lower limit is very high, and the upper limit is even higher.

Just after Eevee and Blaziken adapted to the atmosphere of the conference, their mentality changed and their bodies started to move, which let Xia You know that it was time to end the battle.

Under his command, the attack rhythm of Eevee and Flame Chicken suddenly accelerated, which caught Ryohei off guard.

How should I put it? His feelings on the battlefield were completely different from those in the audience.

Others thought that Xia You did not seize the opportunities he should have and missed many good chances to defeat his opponents, but he did not feel any of this. He only felt how difficult Eevee and Blaziken were, and how hard it was for him to resist.

You don’t know until you fight them. Only once you fight them will you realize how powerful these two Pokémon are.

Whether it's speed, on-the-spot reaction, or the power of its moves, it is the most outstanding Pokémon of the same type he has ever seen!

It already required all his strength to resist, but he didn't expect that these two Pokémon would suddenly change, which doubled his pressure!

Alakazam, who had just recovered from the burning state, was the first to be unable to withstand the attack. He was hit by Eevee's lightning flash and knocked to the ground.

After all, King Swallow was in the air, so its situation was slightly better than Alakazam, but it was also followed closely behind. It was jumped high by Blaziken, and kicked to the ground with two consecutive kicks. Then it was stabbed again by Eevee who was waiting there, and followed the same fate as Alakazam.

The referee raised the colorful flag, indicating that Xia You won.

It was not until seeing this that the audience realized that Xia You had won.

How to say it, in the first half of the game, Ibrahimovic's wonderful performance did win him applause from the audience, but in the middle, the situation became stable and there was nothing to watch again. Just when people thought it would be a fight that started well but ended badly, the game ended suddenly in the last ten seconds!

This change caught people off guard, so much so that the game had been over for quite some time before sparse applause began to be heard in the stadium, and finally became continuous.

After watching the entire game, Masamune and Tetsuya also had different opinions about Xia You.

At first, both of them thought that Xia You was an extremely powerful opponent, but after seeing him now, they both felt that he was not decisive enough when encountering things.

This also made them feel a little relieved. If this was true, then he would not be difficult to deal with. When they meet him in the future, they are confident that they can defeat him!

After Xia You won the second round, he only had one win left to enter the final tournament.

As long as he defeats one more opponent, he will be able to successfully advance to the next round!

However, since Masamune and Tetsuya came to watch his match, out of courtesy, Xia You also watched one of Tetsuya's fights.

However, Zheya did not reveal much in this game. He easily defeated his opponent with just the hat-wearing Meowth and the Lizard King.

This also allowed Zhe to gain more support from the audience.

After all, his image is pretty good, and his strength is equally outstanding. Most importantly, he is a local player from the Hoenn region. This identity alone adds a lot of impression points to him.

I can only say that this is in line with the thoughts of most viewers. Since it is a competition in the Hoenn region, they certainly hope that a local from the Hoenn region will win the championship.

Since he was competing at the same time as Satoshi, Xia You did not go to watch Masamune's match, but watched Satoshi's.

I don’t know if it was because the previous match was too difficult, but in this match, Xiaozhi performed exceptionally well and defeated his opponent with a huge advantage.

In this way, the wonderful performances of several people temporarily overshadowed Xia You's brilliance and prevented more people from noticing him.

This also gave Mary an opportunity.

When all the games for the day were over, at eight o'clock in the evening, she quietly slipped into the players' dormitory alone.

According to the location she had already found out, she saw that there was no one around, so she quickly walked to Xia You's room and knocked on the door.

At this time, Xia You naturally hadn't gone to bed yet. He was making a summary of today, summarizing his shortcomings and areas that need improvement. When he heard the door open, he thought it was Xiaoxia at first, but when he opened the door and saw it was Mary, he raised his eyebrows and immediately became alert.

If possible, he really didn't want to deal with these uncrowned kings!

Seeing that there was no one else in the room, Mary smiled and said to Xia You: "Mr. Xia You, I'm sorry to bother you. I wonder if it's convenient for you to accept the interview now?"

Perhaps in order to make her plan for tonight successful, Mary put on delicate makeup and sprayed perfume even though it was already late. Her every move seemed to be accompanied by a fragrant breeze.

Looking at Mary's side, Xia You became even more alert when he saw that the photographer who was always with her was not there.

"Didn't I tell you before that the interview would have to wait until after we enter the final tournament? There's still one match to go tomorrow before we enter the final tournament. You're here too early."

Mary smiled. "It's a little early, but I think it's worth it. Why? You don't want to invite me in?"

The implication of this statement couldn't be more obvious!

It was only at this moment that Xia You truly understood what she meant. He subconsciously looked down and saw that Mary's outfit at this moment could be said to be quite bold. The neckline of her upper body was wide open, revealing a ray of spring light. She was wearing a short skirt on her lower body and had bare legs, which looked very seductive.

So this was the idea!

Want to seduce?

Mary was about to take a step into the room, but Xia You blocked her way and didn't let her take a single step forward.

It’s not that he doesn’t understand the situation, he just has to be on guard against these reporters!

Do you think this is a pie in the sky?

No, this might be an elaborate trap!

He dared to say that it seemed that Mary wanted to use her body in exchange for an interview. Her purpose was very simple, just to get a promotion and a raise in salary, but there was no guarantee that she might have hidden a miniature camera and wanted to secretly record all the scenes that followed!

By then, once this matter gets out, his reputation and character will definitely be seriously affected, and there will be a great risk of collapse. If he does not want the matter to be exposed, he will have to accept Mary's threat!

Although it may not be what you think, but what if?

These uncrowned kings are best at making use of these things, even at the cost of sacrificing their looks, so even if there is a one in ten thousand chance, he would not dare to take the risk!

Of course, the main reason, ahem, is that it’s not tempting enough.

Xia You himself admitted that he was not a man of strong will when it came to women. Especially after what happened with Maya and after getting along with Lijia, he was indeed easily tempted.

But that also requires sufficient capital!

Look at who his women are?

Nancy, Rika, and Maya from the Whirlpool Islands, which one of them is not a beauty?

She has status, good looks, strength, and position, and they are all completely devoted to him.

Compared to these people, Mary's beauty was simply not enough to attract him!

Maybe to ordinary people, she is still a beauty, but to me, I really can't arouse any interest in her!
