Chapter 780: The more you fight, the braver you become

With Pikachu's defeat, the score came to 3 to 2, which allowed Masamune to slightly recover the situation, but the two battles that were almost lost in vain in the early stages still put him on the brink of danger.

Xiaozhi still has four Pokémon that have not appeared at this time, which means that Masamune must be careful in the next few battles and cannot lose people easily.

After he brought Pikachu back and returned to the trainer command area, the game continued.

In this game, Xiaozhi released his Coal Turtle.

In terms of attributes, Coal Turtle undoubtedly has a restraining effect on Steelix, but Masamune did not change the Pokémon, but still used Steelix to fight it.

Although he was at a disadvantage in attributes, Masamune did not care about it at all. Instead, he was full of momentum, as if he was a different person compared to the first two games.

When the battle started, he commanded Steelix and Coal Turtle to engage in a duel of moves.

The dragon's breath collided with the jet of flame, and in the end, the jet of flame was more powerful. It offset the dragon's breath while continuing to fly forward and hitting Steelix.

The flames caused double damage to Steelix, which also caused Steelix great pain. Seeing this opportunity, Xiaozhi decisively ordered Coal Tortoise to pursue the victory. However, when Coal Tortoise sprayed out flames again, Steelix reacted and hit it with dragon breath again.

This time, the jet of flame failed to overwhelm the dragon's breath, and the two moves exploded in the air, producing a large amount of fire and smoke.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Steelix used the Drilling Technique and drilled underground. In order to deal with the attack that came from nowhere, Coal Turtle quickly used the Shell Retraction Technique, but was pushed into the air by Steelix that drilled out from right below.

Just as the Coal Turtle fell from the sky and accidentally flipped its shell, Steelix seized the opportunity and sprayed it with dragon breath again, making it lose its combat ability.

After a quick glance, the referee raised the colored flag.

"Coal Turtle loses the ability to fight, Steelix wins!"

Two wins in a row already...

Unexpectedly, despite the unfavorable attributes, Steelix actually defeated Coal Turtle and completed a one-on-two victory!

But on the other hand, Coal Turtle's performance at the conference was as stable as ever.

Seeing the defeat of the Coal Turtle, Xiao Gang couldn't help but sigh: "Masamune's condition is getting better and better..."

His words also made several people around him nod in agreement.

Anyone with a discerning eye could see that Masamune had completely let go of his psychological burden, and he attacked without any hesitation, returning to his cheerful personality.

Even Xia You agreed: "That's right, compared to just now, Masamune's current state can be described as fiery. I'm afraid Xiaozhi will be the one who is uncomfortable now."

No one expected that after adjusting his state, Masamune actually won two games in a row and directly tied the score. If he hadn't just given away two games and created a huge advantage for Xiaozhi, I'm afraid Xiaozhi would be far behind now!

From this we can see that Masamune's strength is still quite good, and is not weaker than Satoshi at all. If Satoshi cannot stimulate the potential of Pokémon, he will probably stop here if he is not careful.

There were only three Pokémon left on each side at this time. After a moment of hesitation, Xiaozhi sent out his Forest Lizard.

Judging from the attributes, this does not seem to be a good choice. After all, Grass-type Pokémon cannot deal full damage when facing Steel-type Pokémon.

But this is Xiaozhi's forest lizard. Not only is it very strong, but it also has a cool personality and doesn't show any panic at all.

Maybe he forgot the rules of the game, but just like Satoshi just now, Masamune did not change Pokémon. He also let Steelix, which had experienced two battles, drag his slightly tired body to fight with the Forest Lizard once again.

As expected, the forest lizard won the battle.

Facing Steelix's drilling attack, the Forest Lizard dodged it easily with its agile steps, and in the end, it faced the dragon's breath and created a famous scene!

The forest lizard jumped high, then crossed its hands in front of its head, used the leaf blade to split the dragon's breath, and rushed to the huge head of the Steel Snake, hitting it hard!

Boom!

The huge body of Steelix fell down with a loud bang, causing the entire grass field to tremble.

When people looked at Steelix through the big screen again, they found that it had fainted.

As expected of him being the top star, this set of moves was indeed very cool and left a deep impression on the audience!

"Steel Snake loses its ability to fight, and the Forest Lizard wins!"

The score was tied again, and the two players returned to the same starting line. It has to be said that after the matches between Xiaozhi and Masamune returned to normal, every game was very exciting, and it also allowed the audience to truly see what the strength of the top 8 players should be.

Unfortunately, one of them is destined to fall in the round of 16.

In the stands, Xia You looked at the game and reached for the snacks on the seat, but found nothing.

He didn't take it seriously and tried to touch other bags, but to his surprise, he still found none!

Ok?

Confused, he had to lower his head, and when he took a closer look, he found that all his snacks were gone, with only a few packaging bags left!

I eat so fast?

Suddenly thinking of something, Xia You hurried to look at Xiaoyao beside her, and saw that she was puffing out her cheeks and chewing something in her mouth, just like a little squirrel!

Needless to say, she must have stolen all my snacks!

Just when?

What a fast speed!

And even though we bought so much, Xiaoyao ate all of it without leaving any. It's really outrageous!

By the time his attention returned to the match, Satoshi and Masamune were already fighting again.

This time, Masamune sent out a Scorpio, a Pokémon that, as its name suggests, has wings on its back and is shaped like a scorpion.

Its body is purple, the inside of its wings are blue, it has two sharp teeth sticking out of its mouth, there are large pincers at the end of its wings, and there is a terrifying giant needle at the tip of its tail.

It is said that scorpios build their nests on steep rock walls. They glide across the sky as silently as they glide on the ground. After each glide, they jump back to their nests. They usually stick to the cliffs and are good at using the membranes on their hands and feet to move with the wind. When they find their prey, they spread their wings and swoop down with the wind, flying towards their opponents like they are gliding in the air. They also grab their prey's face with the large claws on their arms and feet, and then, while the prey is panicked, they stick to their opponents' faces to surprise them before attacking with their poisonous needles.

Although Xia You had known about Scorpio before, that was all in anime and games. After coming to this world, it was the first time he saw a trainer using it, and he couldn't help but take a few more glances at it.

At this time, Scorpio's opponent was still the Forest Lizard. The two Pokémon fought at a very fast speed. However, the Forest Lizard took advantage of the dense grass and the convenience of the venue to gain a certain advantage. When Scorpio was flying close to the ground, it jumped onto its back and tried to attack from the back.

However, Scorpio also reacted quickly, brought the forest lizard to a high altitude, and threw it down. At high altitude, the forest lizard was unable to move at all, and had no way to avoid it. In the end, Scorpio strangled the neck and slammed it to the ground.

In the end, under the huge impact, the forest lizard was knocked unconscious and lost its ability to fight.

This was an extremely fast confrontation. From the start to the end, the outcome was decided in just a few minutes.

It was under such a quick attack that both Xiaozhi and Masamune entered a state of excitement. As soon as the referee raised the colorful flag, Xiaozhi had already taken back the Forest Lizard and sent out the King Swallow without hesitation.

In this round, the two Pokémon continued to attack each other in the air. No matter whether it was the trainer or the two Pokémon, neither was willing to show weakness. They entangled and chased each other. Even if they were covered in wounds, they still did not give up attacking, attacking, and attacking again.

As expected, after the last close-range fight, both Pokémon fell and fell to the ground together, losing their ability to fight.

One to one, they switched.

Such a purely reckless game was naturally very exciting for the audience to watch, especially when they saw the two men fighting to the death, they cheered enthusiastically!

It's really addictive.

At this point, they all seemed to have forgotten Masamune's previous poor performance, and were eagerly looking forward to the next battle between the two!

Influenced by the atmosphere of the audience, it can be seen that Xiaozhi and Masamune are obviously more excited.

But now both of them only had one Pokémon left, and they only had one chance left. Reason was frantically reminding them that they must calm down.

In the audience, Xiaosheng and others clenched their fists nervously.

To be honest, by now the battle had reached a point where they no longer knew who would win.

After hesitating for a moment, Xiaoyao turned around and asked Xia You in a low voice: "Brother Xia You, who do you think will win?"

I don’t know when it started, but these people seem to have regarded Xia You as an omniscient person, as if whoever he says will win will win.

But to be honest, even after watching the anime, Xia You didn't dare to easily judge the outcome of this game.

This is different from Xiao Feng before. Masamune and Xiaozhi are almost equal in strength. In other words, even after giving away two games for free, he still forced Xiaozhi to this point. Judging from today's game alone, Masamune is undoubtedly stronger.

Masamune was almost playing 4 against 6.

But that's how competitions are. The results will not remain the same just because of the same lineup, the same trainer, and the same venue. Perhaps just because of a thought, even a moment of distraction, can lead to a different result.

Xia You didn't know whether his arrival would change the outcome of the game.

But after thinking about it, he chose to believe Xiaozhi.

"If Masamune had behaved like this from the beginning, Satoshi would have lost by now. But after all, there aren't so many ifs in this world. Mentality is also an important part of measuring a trainer's strength. But since this situation has already occurred and the game has ended in a tie, I think at this critical moment, Satoshi should still win."

Hearing him say this, Xiaoyao nodded.

She thought so too.

In fact, not only himself, but even Xiaogang, Xiaosheng and Xiaoxia probably hope that Xiaozhi will win.

Although they felt embarrassed, compared to Masamune, whom they had only met a few times, Satoshi was their friend and partner, so it was understandable that they were biased towards him.

At this time, Xiaozhi and Masamune's final Pokémon also appeared at the same time.

Satoshi's Pokémon is Iceborn, which he had played well in the previous round, and Masamune's last Pokémon is his Metallo.

This is also the final match between the two. Whoever wins will advance to the next round!

The audience all fell silent, watching this final battle with bated breath. With the previous two matches as examples, they wanted to see what kind of battle the two trainers would present to them in this battle.

However, in terms of attributes, the ice-type Hyōgen is indeed at a disadvantage when facing the steel and psychic-type Metagross. But when you think about this being a crucial game and triggering Ash's hidden attribute of Reverse Attribute Master, it seems that there is still hope of winning.

I have to say that although they are rarely seen in normal times, this series of Pokémon, whether it is Metal Gear Solid or Metagross, appeared quite a lot in this Caiyou Conference.

Although after a brief respite, Xiaozhi and Masamune seemed to have calmed down, but when they really started fighting, they couldn't wait to give orders to attack.

In fact, they have already reached the most crucial battle, how can they stay calm?

The metal monster and the ice ghost guard collided head-on, but thanks to its larger size and stronger body, the metal monster won the collision.

However, Xiaozhi was not discouraged. Since he could not shake the metal monster at close range, he ordered Ice Demon to use ice beam and launched an attack from a distance.

But the next second, the ice beam was rebounded by the metal monster's telekinesis, turned around, and hit the Ice Ghost Guard himself!

While the Ice Demon Guard was under attack, the metal monster closed the distance and rammed into the Ice Demon Guard again!

The first clash of the two men's final battle ended with the metal monster having the upper hand.

This is also in line with most people's expectations for this battle.

But at this time, Xiaozhi once again showed his growth side.

Just as people were puzzled, Xiaozhi ordered Ice Demon to use ice beam. Faced with the reappearance of such a scene, Masamune was not polite at all and ordered Metal Monster to use telekinesis to bounce the attack back again.

But he didn't know that Xiaozhi was waiting for this opportunity!

At the moment when the freezing beam returned and shot towards Ice Demon Guard, Ice Demon Guard suddenly used freezing wind. In an instant, cold wind wrapped with a large amount of frost blew out from Ice Demon Guard's mouth, not only bouncing the freezing beam back again, but also accelerating and strengthening the attack power. In just the next second, the two moves hit the metal monster at the same time!
