Chapter 930 Xiaogang: No, I believe Xiaozhi
Xiaoyao chose Flammulina as her stage partner this time.
Perhaps he wanted to have a good start in the new area, so he sent his most trusted partner to the first stage performance in Sinnoh.
She walked onto the stage calmly with a confident smile on her face. She waved to the audience and then threw a Poké Ball high into the air.
Amidst the brilliant flames created by stickers, the next second, the Flaming Chicken made its grand appearance!
Once it appeared, it demonstrated its strong fire control ability, creating a vortex of flames, and at the same time guiding the flames caused by the stickers, forming a large circle within a small circle on the stage, with one deep and one shallow, and two flames rotating in different directions, one forward and one reverse!
Just as people were amazed at the two flames, Flammel performed another double kick, jumped to the center of the flames, and dispersed the flames, causing them to explode in all directions in the air, covering the entire stage and passing through the audience seats, and then burned up in the air like a fleeting meteor.
All in all, the effect is quite gorgeous, and it also shows the ability of Flame Chicken itself, especially the brief flame cover, which makes people feel like they are wrapped.
Naturally, this kind of performance also helped Xiaoyao, who received warm applause and cheers from the audience and got the highest score of the show.
In the contestant hall, seeing Xiaoyao's perfect performance, both Xiaoguang and Xiaowang were surprised but also felt a heavy pressure.
In fact, not only them, but even the contestants around them realized that Xiaoyao was extraordinary after watching her performance.
After all, Flammie's performance was just too good!
It can be said that although Xiaoyao was the last one to appear, her performance completely overshadowed everyone before her!
Watching Xiaoyao on the screen waving his hands and leaving the stage again, Xiaoguang couldn't help but mutter, "Xiaoyao... turns out to be so amazing..."
"Yeah." Xiaozhi nodded and sighed, "She was already very powerful when she was in Hoenn. After traveling with Brother Xia You, she has grown a lot. Now I almost don't recognize her anymore!"
"Eh?" Xiao Guang was a little surprised. "Isn't Mr. Xia You a Pokémon trainer? Can he also give Xiao Yao some advice?"
"Well..." Xiaozhi scratched his head, feeling that he couldn't make sense of it. "There should be some common points. After all, Brother Xia You is so powerful..."
Fortunately, Xiao Guang didn't doubt it at all, he just nodded as if he suddenly realized it: "So that's how it is."
As they were talking, Xiaoyao had already returned to the contestant hall. Seeing her, Xiaozhi and Xiaoguang hurriedly went to greet her. Even Xiaowang turned his gaze to this contestant whom he had never paid attention to before.
When they got closer, Xiaozhi was the first to praise: "Xiaoyao, your performance just now was really great!"
"No..." Xiaoyao smiled embarrassedly, "It's just a normal performance..."
"Xiaoyao..." Xiaoguang also said, "I didn't know before that you actually won the runner-up. It's amazing! You have grown so fast. Is it because of traveling with Mr. Xia You?"
"Of course!" Xiaoyao laughed, "I learned a lot of fighting skills from Brother Xia You, and also learned how to perform from his female...female...female friends. Without them, I wouldn't have improved so quickly and achieved such results!"
How dangerous...
Xiaoyao smiled bitterly in her heart.
I almost let it slip just now!
Although I have accepted the fact that Brother Xia You has many women at the same time, this does not mean that outsiders can accept it. After all, this kind of thing... is still a bit too shocking.
And it’s actually not wrong.
Some of her performance methods and inspirations were indeed taught by Xiaojuan, Xiaotao and Xiaoyu. Oh, and of course Yinghua and Xiaomei. But given the relationship between the three sisters and Brother Xia You, there is naturally nothing wrong in attributing this to the fact that they traveled with Brother Xia You.
At this time, after sorting the scores, the list of players entering the second round has appeared.
For a moment, all the contestants in the hall looked at the big screen nervously.
And the answer is revealed at this moment!
The screen suddenly changed and eight trainers' avatars appeared. The first one among them was Xiaoyao!
I have to say that after a long journey in Hoenn and Kanto, Xiaoyao has finally grown up. She is no longer a lucky contestant who made it by the narrowest line. Instead, she has truly surpassed all her opponents with her own strength and was able to pass the first round of performance review with the highest score!
It is not easy to get to this point, and only Xiaoyao herself knows the hard work involved.
Looking further down, behind Xiaoyao is a male trainer, and after him are Xiaowang and Xiaoguang.
One of these two people ranked third and the other fourth. Xiao Wang was okay, after all, he had participated in some conferences before and successfully won a ribbon medal. It was not surprising that he could perform like this, and it was also within people's expectations.
But it is amazing that Xiaoguang, as a pure newcomer, was able to get fourth place!
This result is much better than when Xiaoyao and Xiaozhi first participated in the Grand Convention!
But if you think about it carefully, it’s actually not that strange.
After all, Xiaoguang's performance today was not only flawless, but rather acceptable, and he even outperformed most of the contestants, so it was reasonable for him to get fourth place.
Of course, Hikaru’s talent is one aspect, but having a mother who has won the title of top coordination trainer also has a great influence on Hikaru!
Having been influenced by her surroundings since childhood, even though Xiaoguang is truly entering this industry for the first time, her understanding of coordination trainers, especially the ideas in her mind, is still much better than that of ordinary newcomers.
This also allowed her to get started quickly.
After them were two female trainers who had performed very well before, and when it came to the seventh place, we finally saw Xiaozhi's name and avatar.
But further back, there was a male trainer. It seemed that because of Xiaoyao's interference, Musashi was directly eliminated.
This is indeed a pity for Musashi and some people who like her performance style, but there is no other way, as there are only eight contestants who can enter the second round.
It's so cruel!
Some are happy while others are sad. No matter how angry and unwilling Musashi was in a place where no one was around, the result of the game was already out and they had no say over it.
As for wanting to disrupt or destroy this conference?
The moment they saw Xiaoyao appear, neither Musashi, Meow Meow nor Kojiro had any idea at all.
After all, everyone knows that the little girl Xiaoyao is traveling with that man. Since she is here, it goes without saying that the man must be here too. In this case, how dare they have any idea of making trouble?
Even Musashi, no matter how unwilling he was, could only bite his clothes, standing there in helpless rage, and venting his anger on Kojiro and Meowth.
Let’s not talk about her, just say that after a short break, the second round of battle review officially began after the grouping.
In this round, Satoshi and Nozomi were grouped together, Hikaru was grouped with the male trainer ranked second, and as for Haruka, she was also grouped with another female trainer.
This kind of grouping is actually a better result.
After all, Xiaoguang and Xiaoyao were not grouped together, which avoided a civil war. For Xiaozhi and Xiaowang, this was also what they expected.
You know, Xiaozhi and Xiaowang are not friends. They just met once and talked a few words because of Xiaoguang. Their relationship is even a little stiff and they have had some unpleasantness. Such grouping can also allow the two to resolve the grievances between them.
The audience naturally didn’t know about the awkwardness between the two, but they still showed considerable anticipation for the first battle of the second round.
Under the gaze of the crowd, Xiaozhi and Xiaowang, as the first opponents, went on stage together.
Different from the grand tournament in Kanto, the tournament in Sinnoh has returned to the singles mode. In the second round, each contestant only needs to send out one Pokémon, and it is not a doubles match.
Although it is somewhat similar to Hoenn, it still maintains the rule of Kanto that allows Pokémon different from the first round lineup to be selected.
As the five-minute countdown began, both players sent out their Pokémon at the same time.
First, let’s look at Xiaozhi. In this round, he still sent out the Longtailed Crawlers that performed well before, and did not change Pokémon.
This is also in line with his original intention. After all, he was able to attend this celebration meeting because of the Longtail Monster, and he would naturally use it to complete the entire conference.
Look at Xiaowang again.
This time she did not use the previous dream demon, but replaced it with a charm cat.
Just like its name, this is a cat-shaped Pokémon that looks very elegant. It is no more than half a meter long and most of its body is gray. Only the front ends of its claws, the tips of its ears, and the area around its mouth are white. Its long tail curls like a whirlpool, and it looks a bit lazy and noble.
It is said that this Pokémon is very casual, and will occasionally make sounds from its throat to act coquettishly. It is very popular among people, especially girls. It usually confuses people with its tail and eyesight, and will use its tail to show beautiful movements like ribbon exercises in artistic gymnastics. But don't underestimate it because once it gets serious, its sharp eyes will put the opponent into a mild hypnotic state and reveal its hidden brutal side!
But this is not the most important thing.
You should know that there is a saying that has been circulating among the trainers who raise Charming Cats.
That is - never let Charming Cat evolve!
Although outsiders may not understand the reason for doing so, only those trainers who evolved Charming Meow know that the evolved Meowth is really too ugly!!!
It looks angry all the time and has a bloated body. It can be said that it is completely different from the Charming Cat form. They are simply two extremes!
Not only have they lost their nobility and elegance, but they have become more ferocious. Therefore, except for a few people with unique aesthetic tastes, it is difficult for anyone to praise them as "good-looking".
Just as Xia You was sighing, the fight between the two had already begun.
As soon as he came up, Xiaozhi directly commanded his long-tailed monster to attack Charming Cat.
However, facing the high leap and tail attack of the Long-Tailed Monster Hand, Charming Cat did not move. Only when the Long-Tailed Monster Hand got close to it did it suddenly use its spiral tail to entangle the Long-Tailed Monster Hand's tail and block its attack.
This also meant that Xiaozhi's attack failed.
On the contrary, it was precisely because Charmingmeow showed its swiftness and reaction that, in this fight, even though the two Pokémon's tails were entangled together, it was Satoshi who was the attacker who lost some Gorgeous points!
And that’s not the end yet. As Charming Cat exerted force, the long-tailed monster arm that was entangled by its tail was actually spun and thrown out!
Fortunately, Xiaozhi is not a simple character. At such a critical moment, he forced the Longtailed Monster in the air to use High-Speed Star to counterattack, and used it to stabilize his body and once again deducted the gorgeous value of Charming Cat!
This also made the first fight between the two Pokémon a close one, with neither side gaining any advantage.
But it can be seen that compared to these coordinated trainers, Xiaozhi's fighting style is more inclined towards that of a trainer. This is why, even though he was the one who initiated the attack, he was the one who was deducted points.
But it was precisely because Xiaozhi was a trainer that he reacted in time when he was attacked and made the most correct response, which also reduced the gorgeous value of Charming Meow. Not only that, it even hurt Charming Meow!
It can be said that this is a collision between the standard coordinated trainer fighting style and the trainer fighting style!
The two fought at their own pace, neither falling into the other's rhythm. It can be said that they fought evenly!
"This contestant named Xiao Wang is really amazing."
Xiao Gang's voice of praise came to my ears, and Xia You nodded after hearing his words.
yes……
If she wasn't so powerful, how could she have defeated Xiaoguang in the final grand celebration and been promoted to the top coordination trainer!
"This match is not easy for Xiaozhi. It depends on whether he can find hope of winning under such circumstances."
"What?" Xiao Gang couldn't help but ask in surprise when he heard Xia You didn't think highly of Xiao Zhi. "You mean... Xiao Zhi will lose this game?"
"Who knows." Xia You shrugged. "After all, Xiaozhi is not a true coordination trainer, and his opponent is not a simple person either. It's a 50-50 chance of winning or losing. If Xiaozhi wants to win, he must unleash his potential."
After hearing this, Xiaogang fell silent.
However, he did not completely believe Xia You's point of view.
After all, although Xia You is powerful, he is not omnipotent. It is impossible to accurately predict the outcome of a Pokémon battle.
The most important thing is that he has witnessed Xiaozhi's strength all the way, so he is confident that he can deal with these coordination trainers.
What's more, this is only the first battle of the second round of the Grand Tournament. Even if Xiaozhi will fail in the end, it is impossible for him to fall so quickly and directly in the first battle, right?
