Chapter 847 Xiaoyao vs. Xiaogang

Xiaoyao didn't expect that things would turn out like this.

This was not the end. Xiao Gang seemed to be burning with fighting spirit and challenged Xiao Yao: "You better be aware of this, Xiao Yao! I, Xiao Gang, have the seal of approval from the pinnacle Miss You Wu. I will definitely be the biggest obstacle for you to win!"

I had thought there were no strong enemies, but I didn’t expect that I would be sniped by my own people now.

And Xiaogang is indeed a strong opponent. There is no doubt about his strength. As long as he can successfully pass the first round of performance review, with his experience as a gym owner, ordinary people will really be no match for him.

But Xiaoyao is not afraid of him.

So what if Xiaogang has Miss Youwu’s guidance?

I have Brother Xia You to help me!

Whether it's performance or fighting, I will never lose to him!

Xiaoyao also smiled and said, "Then I'll wait and see. Be careful not to get eliminated in the first round!"

"I want to say the same thing to you." Xiao Gang crossed his arms, squinted his eyes and smiled confidently, "You and Ibrahimovic are the ones who should be most careful!"

Because Xiaogang has decided to participate in the competition, he is like a different person and goes to the other side with Youwu for secret training. Xiaozhi and Xiaosheng have no choice but to see what unique training methods Youwu has, so they don't care about fighting with Xia You and leave with them.

In the blink of an eye, only Xia You and Xiao Yao were left.

After being inspired by Xiaogang, Xiaoyao also became motivated and returned to practice with more vigor.

In response to this, Xia You could only shake his head helplessly, half lying on the chair, waiting for what would happen next.

……

“It’s showtime!”

As Lillian's iconic opening remarks were shouted out, the Rokudo Wood Conference officially began amid the cheers of the audience.

Xia You, Xiao Zhi and Xiao Yao were sitting in the audience. Since there were two companions participating this time, in order to ensure fairness and not favor anyone, they did not enter the contestant preparation room. Instead, they just acted as spectators and cheered for Xiao Yao and Xiao Gang.

After explaining the rules of the competition, Lillian introduced the three unchanged judges as usual. When everything was over, the first contestant also walked onto the stage.

However, no one expected that the first person to come on stage would be the rookie coordination trainer, Mihua, who was about the same age as Xiaoyao and had asked them for directions on the lawn.

Mihua was holding a long wooden stick in his hand, and no one knew what it was used for.

It can be seen that although she is a newcomer and it is her first time on such a stage, this girl named Mihua does not show any nervousness in front of so many audiences. Instead, she goes on stage with ease and bows slightly to the audience.

As for her partner...

As Mihua threw the Poké Ball, the Rada that was with her on the lawn also appeared at this moment.

At the same time, Mihua also threw the wooden stick high into the sky.

Rada also jumped high, jumped towards the wooden stick, and used the two front teeth in his mouth to bite the stick into pieces in an instant!

It can be said that this move showed the charm of Lada and also made the audience cheer.

"Her performance is totally unlike that of a rookie..." After watching Mihua's performance, Xia You could only sigh, "This kind of solemnity and calmness is something that many trainers who have participated in several tournaments cannot achieve. It seems that in a few years, this world will have another top coordination trainer."

It was rare to hear Xia You make such an evaluation of someone. Although Xiaozhi and Xiaosheng were surprised, they also understood that with Mihua's calm stage style, he would definitely become a great man in the future.

In the end, Mihua also got a very good score and bowed again before leaving the stage. Everything was just as she impressed people, calm and polite.

After Mihua, several other players came on stage and their performances were also satisfactory. Then it was Xiaoyao's turn.

Just as planned, Xiaoyao's performance partner this time is Ibrahimovic.

However, Xiaoyao also borrowed props this time. She took out a ball and had an interaction between people, balls and Pokémon with Eevee. Although she didn't use any fancy moves, she also showed Eevee's charm and skills.

It can be seen that Xiaoyao did put a lot of effort into the choreography, and the performance was excellent without any mistakes. She once again got a relatively high score and was able to enter the second round safely.

Xiaogang was the last one to appear.

As the last player to appear, it was impossible for me not to be nervous after seeing so many wonderful performances from the previous players.

It would be strange if Xiaogang’s performance partner was also the basin that Youwu praised.

After it came on stage, it started to fake cry and shed a lot of tears on the stage, like a few small fountains, which made the audience laugh. Then the style changed, and it performed a baseball catching show with Xiaogang, which also showed the skills and cuteness of Pen Caiguai to the fullest.

It seems that Xiaogang and Xiaoyao had the same idea. They did not win by using Pokémon's tricks, but instead showed the charm of Pokémon through performance.

This also earned him warm applause from the audience.

After all the contestants finished their performances, the final scores were announced.

Xia You looked up and saw Xiaoyao, Xiaogang and the girl named Mihua, all of whom had entered the second round of battle review.

In this performance review, Xiaoyao won third place because he cooperated with a new Pokémon. Although his results declined, they were still relatively stable. Xiaogang and Mihua, as first-time new contestants, won sixth and eighth respectively, which can be considered a successful advancement.

My dear, there is more to come after this chapter. Please click on the next page to continue reading. There will be more exciting chapters later!

However, soon after the review groups for the second round of battle were announced, Xiaogang and Mihua were unlucky enough to be grouped together.

It seems that only one of these two new coordinating trainers can successfully advance.

During the intermission, Xiaozhi, Xiaosheng and Youwu all went to the contestant lounge to cheer for Xiaoyao and Xiaogang. Only Xia You stayed in the audience, with no intention of moving at all.

Just like before, this grand conference was like watching a movie with a known ending. As for the process, it was up to these people to handle it.

The short break passed in a flash.

When Xiaozhi and his friends returned to the audience seats, the second round of battle review began.

The first to appear were Xiaogang and the girl named Mihua.

The Pokémon that Xiaogang sent out this time was his Swampert, and when the audience saw Mihua's Pokémon, they all exclaimed in surprise.

It turned out to be an Absol!

As a dark-attribute Pokémon, Absol is a quadrupedal animal Pokémon that looks a bit like a fox and a bit like an elegant big cat.

It has white hair, red eyes, a curved horn on its head, and the white hair on its face hangs down, forming the shape of a magatama.

People were shocked not because of its appearance.

Although many people thought it was some kind of mythical Pokémon when they saw it for the first time, in fact, although there are not many Absols, they are not that rare either. It is just an ordinary but not so common Pokémon.

What really attracted people's attention was a rumor.

Because it is very sensitive to changes in the sky and the earth, Absol has the ability to predict disasters. When a disaster occurs, it will run out from the mountains. Over time, people began to call it the Disaster Pokémon and were very afraid of it. Even in the past when superstition was prevalent, it was believed to bring disaster and was hated and driven away.

But in fact, it is only its appearance that is ominous. Absol is actually very gentle in character. He will even help protect the fields without people knowing. It is just misunderstood.

But no matter what, as a rookie trainer, having an Absol is still very eye-catching.

However, although there is such a Pokémon, unfortunately, the one she met in this game was Xiaogang, the man who once served as the leader of the Dark Gray Gym.

Although Xiaogang was infatuated with the beautiful older sister, and never complained when she beat him, and he didn't seem like a normal human being, but when facing this little girl who had nothing, he made her feel what ruthless cruelty was!

Under Mihua's command, Absol launched an attack right away, but perhaps because it had only been captured recently, it had not yet learned any powerful moves, and all it could use were claws, whirlwind blades, and lightning flashes.

Although Brock's Swampert is not in its final stage of evolution and does not have any powerful moves, the differences in experience and vision between the trainers still lead to a certain gap in strength between the two Pokémon.

Xiaogang even blocked Absol's speed with just mud shooting, and finally defeated Absol easily with a water gun.

Throughout the entire game, the two Pokémon fought for less than three rounds before the winner was decided, which shows how big the gap is.

With Absol, Mihua met a disappointing end.

It is conceivable that the girl's first gorgeous battle with such a strong opponent must have caused some psychological trauma.

Although she felt sorry for her, Xia You also knew that it was impossible to ask Xiaogang to let her go. As long as she was on this stage, giving her all was the most basic requirement for herself and her responsibility to the Pokémon.

This is a competition, not a gym battle.

If Xiaogang really lets down his guard on a stage like this, then he would be truly foolish.

People applauded the two contestants, and after they left the stage, several other contestants came on stage to fight.

However, just as Xia You had predicted before, apart from Xiaoyao and Xiaogang, there were indeed no decent opponents in this Six Paths Wood Conference.

Thanks to the outstanding performance of Snorlax, Xiaoyao finally met Xiaogang in the finals.

This is just like what Xiaogang said before the game, he really became the biggest obstacle for Xiaoyao to win.

The final was also fought between Snorlax and Swampert.

Seeing the two standing on both sides, Xiaosheng looked left and right, and finally spread his hands: "One side is my sister, and the other side is Xiaogang. I don't know which side to cheer for..."

Xiaozhi obviously had his own solution to this. He smiled and said to Xiaosheng: "That's easy. Just cheer for both sides!"

Under the anticipation of the audience and the gaze of Xia You and others, the finals of the Liudao Wood Conference officially began.

As soon as he came up, Xiaoyao showed a strong desire to attack and frequently launched attacks on the swamp fish.

Xiaogang naturally knew that Xiaoyao was not easy to deal with, so he ordered Swampert to use Guard to block Snorlax's attacks as much as possible, while looking for opportunities to counterattack.

Not to mention, after all, he was a former gym owner, and they had been traveling together for so long, so Xiaoyao's weaknesses were quickly discovered by him.

Just in the interval between Snorlax's attacks, Swampert used mud shooting, which not only splashed all over Snorlax, but also made the ground under its feet extremely slippery. Snorlax was not paying attention, slipped, and fell heavily to the ground.

Just at this moment, Swampert stepped on the mud and quickly came to Snorlax and launched a close combat with it.

The slippery mud was simply ignored by Swampert. With its special feet and palms, it not only did not affect its movements, but instead accelerated its movement speed. In almost the blink of an eye, it had slid in front of Snorlax.

Snorlax struggled to get up, but just as he stood up, his feet slipped and he fell again.

This also gives the Swamp Leap Fish an opportunity.

It hit Snorlax hard, but surprisingly, just when it succeeded and wanted to leave, it was suddenly caught by Snorlax!

This was beyond Xiaogang's expectations.

After all, in order to avoid washing away the mud, Xiaogang didn't dare to use tricks like water gun. He just wanted to take advantage of the moment when Snorlax was unstable and defeat it safely, but he didn't expect that Snorlax still seized the opportunity!

I can only say that Xiaoyao and her Pokémon have really grown up.

Before he could sigh, Xiaogang's face changed and he wanted to let Swampert escape from there, but Snorlax seemed to have grabbed a life-saving straw and would not let go easily.

One held on tightly, while the other tried hard to escape. The end result was that Swampert took Snorlax and left the mud and came to a dry place.

This time, there was no need for Swampert to do anything, as Snorlax had already let go on its own.

But Xiaogang just couldn't be happy at all.

Not only did the previous attack fail, but at such a close distance, no matter how you look at it, Snorlax has the advantage.

In the stands, seeing this, Xiaozhi couldn't help but turn around and ask, "Brother Xia You, who do you think will win?"

Xia You didn't hesitate and said directly: "It must be Xiaoyao."

"Eh?" Xiaosheng was stunned when he heard this, "Why is it my sister?"

"Need I say more?" Xia You laughed, "It has nothing to do with strength or performance. Xiaoyao is my travel companion. No matter what time it is, I naturally hope that she can win!"
