Chapter 898 News from the Age of Gods

This move of Snorlax can be said to be extremely successful. It not only amazed the audience, but also left a deep impression on everyone.

Not only the audience and referees were amazed and shocked, even Satoshi and his two teammates opened their eyes wide in surprise, not to mention the opponents Saori, Shun, and Harry, who frowned even more.

It was at this moment that Xiaoyao truly displayed her full strength.

A blockbuster!

Just like Saori in the preliminaries, the sensation caused by Haruka and her Snorlax also made people realize the extraordinary nature of this player. In addition, Lillian just introduced her as a dancer from Hoenn, which made people remember her immediately.

Only Xia You couldn't help but smile because he had seen Xiaoyao use this move at the five sisters' house.

Xiaoyao's success is inevitable.

After all, this was not some trick that was thought up on the spur of the moment, but a masterpiece that had been polished over a long period of time with the help of the five Yuanzhu sisters. It would have been strange if it had failed!

Amidst thunderous applause, Xiaoyao received the highest score, even higher than Saori!

Seeing this result, Saori raised the threat level of Xiaoyao again in her mind, and Harry was also itching with hatred!

For Harry, Xiaoyao getting a high score was even more unacceptable than him being eliminated!

But no matter how much he resents, the result has already come out and it will not change because of his reluctance.

After Xiaoyao left the stage, the first round of review ended when the last few contestants came on stage.

Next, it’s time for the tense ranking stage.

It is indeed cruel. Yesterday, a total of 270 contestants participated in the preliminaries, and in the end only 64 contestants entered today's main competition. At this moment, 48 people have to be eliminated, and only 16 contestants can advance to the second round of review.

In just two days, batch after batch of contestants were screened out. How many people with dreams came with high expectations, but only got to show themselves on the stage once before leaving in disgrace.

But there is nothing we can do about it. We can only say that where some people succeed, others are destined to fail!

It didn't take long before the list of qualifiers was announced.

Everyone, including the audience, looked at the big screen nervously, and then the picture on the screen changed, and 16 avatars with names appeared in front of people.

The one who ranked first was Xiaoyao who had just shined in the performance!

This is not unexpected, after all, Snorlax's performance just now was so wonderful!

After Xiaoyao, it was not any of Saori, Shun, or Harry, but two other contestants who had outstanding performances in the performance segment. It was not until the fourth place that Saori's avatar appeared!

This also made Xia You shake his head slightly.

Compared to the qualifying stage, Saori's performance in the main competition was undoubtedly weaker, which prevented her from maintaining her previous momentum and caused her to slip from tied for first place to fourth place.

Although fourth place is also a very good result, and Saori did not make any mistakes in her performance and looked quite stable, Xia You still had a clear understanding of Saori.

In the anime, this woman, who became a top coordination trainer through the Grand Festival Quartz Conference, is actually the same type of person as Robert from the Hoenn region.

Both of them have a calm style and look very confident, calm and elegant. They also eliminated their opponents with greater strength and won the grand celebration.

They are so similar, so even though she has never fought with Robert, based on Robert's performance in the Hoenn Tournament, Xia You guessed that Saori and Robert's strength should be on par.

However, the same is true for both of them. Although their performance is better than that of other players, it is not to the extent of crushing them. This means that although they have certain advantages, they are not obvious enough, and they are often overtaken by other players or fall into a tough battle.

Again, only when they truly become top coordination trainers and their mentality changes, will they be able to truly transform.

As for now, he is just a coordination trainer with stable performance and relatively strong strength!

Xia You's eyes turned and looked at Xiao Shun and Harry's ranking again.

As expected, the two of them entered the next round, with Harry ranking 7th, and Xiao Shun...

His ranking was even lower than Harry's, and he was ranked 10th!

This was already a serious mistake for Xiao Shun, whose grades had always been stable!

And it’s the first time ever!

In fact, after watching the game for so long, although Xia You is not a coordination trainer and is not a professional, he has a deep understanding of some things after all, and he can see some tricks.

All I can say is that although Xiao Shun and his Absol were also very eye-catching just now, during his performance round, everyone's attention was attracted by the luster of Absol and the fluctuations of water, and they did not notice that the whirlwind blade that Absol used at the end was not clever enough and caused some flaws. This may not be a big deal for the audience, but for the extremely discerning judges, they still keenly discovered the shortcomings.

This is why his score is not even higher than Harry's.

And this is something Xiao Shun cannot accept no matter what!

After the results are announced, the second round of grouping will begin immediately.

The avatars on the screen were shuffled and then divided into 8 fighting groups. Xia You just took a look and found that Xiaoyao and Harry were unexpectedly divided into the same group!

"It's true that enemies meet on a narrow road..."

Xia You couldn't help but laugh at this result, and even Xiaozhi and the others beside him couldn't help but look at each other in surprise.

What a coincidence!

After all, they also knew that although Harry had always been a trouble for Xiaoyao and was quite powerful, the only strong rivals that Xiaoyao should be cautious about were Xiaoshun and Miss Saori, whom she had just met!

But I don’t know if it was a trick of fate, but before fighting with those two people, Xiaoyao was always unable to get rid of Harry. Basically every time she met him, she had to fight with him beforehand!

I really can’t get rid of it even if I want to!

It's very weird!

However, Xiaoyao and Harry didn't say anything about this grouping, or rather, it was exactly what they wanted!

At this time in the players' lounge, Xiaoyao and Harry, seeing this grouping situation, looked at each other at the same time.

For Harry, defeating Xiaoyao has always been his second biggest goal besides winning, so it makes no difference whether they meet sooner or later.

Similarly, for Xiaoyao, Harry had been causing trouble for her time and again, sending her black roses with mechanisms and dressing her up to attract attention. No matter which of these reasons, she had reasons to eliminate Harry!

Now is the perfect time for them to eliminate the people they hate the most before entering the next round!

In addition to them, Saori and Xiao Shun were also assigned their own opponents and did not meet each other. As a result, in the next second round of review, Xia You and others' focus would only be on the group of Xiaoyao and Harry.

……

After leaving the venue, the group did not go to a dinner party this time, but went straight back to the Pokémon Center.

On the one hand, it was because they had already gathered yesterday and she didn't feel like gathering again for a while, nor did she have the stomach for it. On the other hand, Xiaoyao also wanted to think about how to deal with Harry.

Although in terms of strength, Harry is not as difficult to deal with as Shun and Saori, but he is good at tricks, which makes Xiaoyao quite wary and dare not be careless.

Just when Xiaoyao was thinking about countermeasures, Xia You and Xiaozhi also received news from Kamiya at the same time!

After such a long time, Kamishiro finally found the last divine pillar and successfully conquered it!

This is exciting news for both of them!

It also means that after being idle for so long, they can finally put a perfect end to this journey to the battle frontier!

However, the grand celebration had not yet ended, so they could not rush to Kamiyo immediately. They could only agree on a time and place with Kamiyo, and then rush there immediately after the grand celebration was over.

But this is also a good opportunity for Shen Dai.

After all, he had just conquered the last divine pillar. He could use this time to get to know the other three divine pillars and prepare for the upcoming battle.

After hanging up the phone, Xia You and Xiao Zhi looked at each other.

"Brother Xia You!" Xiao Zhi's eyes sparkled with excitement, "It's finally time!"

"Yeah." Xia You also nodded, "We have been back to Guandu for a long time. After this matter is over, we can finally continue traveling to new places."

"Let's continue our journey..." Xiaozhi also looked eager, "The next region will be the Sinnoh region, right?"

"That's right." Xia You also said with emotion, "New areas, new trips, there must be many exciting adventures waiting for us, it is indeed worth looking forward to."

After today's race ended, something else actually happened.

That was after dinner, when a few people were taking a walk outside the Pokémon Center to digest their food, they unexpectedly saw Shun secretly practicing with his Absol in an inconspicuous place!

Judging from the aura Xiaoshun exuded, he was obviously still upset about the mistake he made in today's performance.

This also made him extra strict when he gave orders to Absol at this moment, as if he wanted to make up for something in this way.

Seeing this scene, although they are strong rivals, Xiaoyao and Xiaozhi, who are full of sympathy, still walked over to persuade them.

Only Xia You took a glance, shook his head, yawned, and left alone.

……

On the third competition day, at nine o'clock in the morning, the battle review phase officially began!

At this round, in order to better demonstrate the power of coordinated trainers and to make the game more exciting, a doubles battle was adopted, with both sides sending out two Pokémon at the same time for a 2-on-2 battle.

The first group to appear was that of Xiaoyao and Harry!

As the numbers on the 5-minute countdown began to change, this battle, which has become the focus of attention in the eyes of the audience as well as relatives and friends, officially began!

Almost at the same time, Xiaoyao and Harry threw out two Poké Balls together.

And the next second, as four blue lights lit up, their Pokémon also appeared on the battlefield.

First, let’s look at Harry’s Pokémon. In this battle of revenge, he sent out his Dreamsong Cactus and a Jigglypuff.

Needless to say, Dreamsong Cactus has always been Harry's most important Pokémon, so its appearance did not come as a surprise.

However, I have never seen this Fatboy before. It must be Harry's recent capture.

It seems that not only is Xiao Shun growing, but Harry's lineup has also expanded a bit.

Let’s look at Xiaoyao’s Pokémon again.

Facing her old rival Harry, this time she sent out her Snorlax and Eevee. These two Pokémon have been with her for a long time and have already gotten used to each other. In addition to the practice and growth during this period, their strength should not be underestimated.

As soon as it appeared, Harry's Jigglypuff put on a vicious face, as if it wanted to overwhelm Xiaoyao's Pokémon with its momentum!

It can be seen that this should be the purpose of Harry sending it out.

But unfortunately, after traveling with Xia You, Xiaoyao and her Pokémon are not as easily frightened as they were in the anime at the same time!

Although Snorlax and Eevee were frightened by Slippery's ferocious expression at first, they quickly came to their senses and glared back with vicious eyes!

This instantly made Harry's wish come to nothing.

His face was terribly gloomy. He really didn't expect that the lineup he specially arranged would not have any effect!

Xiaoyao has indeed become different from before!

Without much nonsense, both sides gave the order to attack at the same time.

However, when Xiaoyao's Snorlax and Eevee rushed towards Mengge Cactus and Jigglypuff and used their respective moves, Jigglypuff suddenly jumped in front of them. Just when their attacks were about to touch its body, Jigglypuff's body suddenly swelled up, becoming three or four times larger than before. Then, with its soft body, it not only blocked the attacks of Snorlax and Eevee, but also bounced the two Pokémon back!

This was indeed unexpected.

No one expected that Harry would send out Jigglypuff to use it in this way!

But you know what, although this move is not fancy, it is extremely effective in dealing with direct attacks like the one just now!

At the same time, although Xiaoyao did not suffer any damage from the counterattack, her gorgeousness value still dropped slightly.

In fact, seeing this, Xia You already understood Harry's intention.

It's very simple. He just wants to use the physical characteristics of Pangolin as a shield to block the opponent's attack, and then use the Mengge Cactus to attack.

Sure enough, the thought had just formed in Xia You's mind when Harry in the field counterattacked at this moment.

I saw that Jigglypuff suddenly moved away, and the Dreamsong Cactus that had been hiding behind it, at that moment, used poison needles on Snorlax and Eevee in front of it!
