Chapter 1177 Semi-Finals Part

As a rival, as a friend.

Qibana thought he knew Dandi very well.

It was because of this that he realized how abnormal the Dan Emperor was today.

He has maintained an undefeated streak in official matches, and has been labeled as undefeated and invincible, even fighting on Galar's home turf.

The pressure that Dan Di was carrying at this moment was so great that it was probably extremely rare in his championship career.

The upper limit of the opponent's strength is still a mystery. Not only does it have the combat power to match that of the Ultra Gigantamax Charizard, but if necessary, it can also send out the legendary elves in their prime...

The other Galar gym leaders, except Poplar, had similar ideas.

They all set the goal of defeating Emperor Dan.

If the invincible Dan Emperor fell.

For a moment, they might be confused.

As the time for the game to start drew closer, there was finally a noise coming from a quiet room somewhere.

The door opened and Emperor Dan walked out slowly.

Ma Shide and Mi Ye, who had been waiting outside, quickly went over.

"Little Dandan."

"Little Dan Emperor."

Ma Shide and Mi Ye shouted one after another to Dan Di, who had his head down and whose expression could not be seen clearly.

They came all the way from Kai Island because they were worried that Emperor Dan would be crushed by the pressure.

Faced with the two people's concerns, Emperor Dan was silent for a second, then raised his head.

The two were stunned.

It's not about confusion, it's not about pain, it's not about struggling or gamble everything on one throw.

In those nearly golden eyes, there was only pure fighting spirit.

Dan Emperor said respectfully to the two of them: "Master, Master's Wife, I'm sorry to have made you worry."

Mi Ye covered her mouth happily, her eyes sparkling with surprise, while Ma Shide asked with a little surprise: "Do you have a solution?"

Could it be that Xiao Dandan has really figured out how to defeat the legendary elves?

Seeing that Ma Shide seemed to have misunderstood, Dandi didn't know whether to laugh or cry and said, "No, I just thought some things through."

The Dan Emperor had a far-reaching gaze and a rare relaxed mentality, but he was looking forward to fighting against a strong man and was eager to have a big fight.

Not long ago, he was busy replaying every battle video of Su Hao over and over again, looking for possible flaws, and at the same time thinking about how to deal with Reshiram or Phoenix King.

But now, he figured it out.

He gave up thinking.

Since I can't study it thoroughly, I won't study it anymore.

Just make sure you give it 100% of your ability, don't make any mistakes, and go all out.

Don’t think about anything, just keep running towards victory for yourself, your partner and the countless expectations behind you.

All the efforts he, Charizard, and their other partners have made so far will definitely not be in vain.

As Dan Di's master who was like his own father, Ma Shide took a few seconds to understand what he meant, and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise.

Because of his height, he could only pat Dan Di's arm, and his tone returned to his usual cheerful tone.

"That's good. I, an old man, can finally feel relieved."

"Go!"

Masood pointed to a passage nearby where cheers were faintly heard.

"I'm leaving, Master and Madam."

Emperor Dan nodded slightly, raised his cloak, and walked forward with firm steps.

Ma Shide embraced his wife, who looked several decades younger than him, stroked his goatee, and said with a smile: "That's fine, that's fine!"

Mi Ye nodded gently: "He is still under too much pressure."

Ma Shide smiled slightly. "The title of the strongest is both an honor and a bondage. If he can figure this out on his own, it's worth it for me to come here to cheer him up despite the risk of being hunted down by that old woman."

"It's not that I don't think highly of Xiao Dandan, it's just that he has been bound by the title of the strongest for too long and needs a failure to complete his evolution."

"After that, he will be able to fully glimpse the divine realm."

"Achieve mastery... or rather - a battle legend."

........

Deng!

Even in the daytime, the spotlights were still dutifully turned on and gathered, shining on the two people who were now the focus of the entire audience.

The narrator's enthusiastic voice sounded again.

"Welcome everyone to continue to watch the world's biggest, best, and most eye-catching competition, the Pokémon World Championship, the Eight Masters Elimination Tournament!"

"This afternoon, the semi-finals will determine the second place to advance to the finals and compete with Xiaozhi for the title of the world's strongest champion!"

As the commentator spoke passionately, salutes were fired and beautiful fireworks bloomed in the sky.

“I am honored to introduce the two Masters players who will be participating in the afternoon session!”

The commentator paused and roared loudly:

"On the left is the current champion of the Pokémon World Championship, a trainer born and raised in the Galar region. Since his debut, he has never lost a single official battle and has won every battle. He is the king of kings, the champion of champions, Dantei!"

All eyes, including the cameras broadcasting to the world, were instantly focused on Emperor Dan.

With a confident smile on his face, he slowly walked out from the left player channel, still wearing his champion's uniform and the championship cape with a "unique" style that was printed with trademark advertisements.

"Dan Emperor! Dan Emperor! Dan Emperor!"

The home court bonus, plus the fact that his reputation as the strongest champion is already known to the world, it can be said that most of the audience in the audience seats of the Gongmen Arena are fans of Dan Di.

This can be seen from the thunderous cheers of support.

The referee pointed to the right again.

"Walking towards us on the right is also the legendary hero with a 100% win rate in official battles, a mysterious trainer. No one knows which Pokémon he will send out - Su Hao!"

Staring at countless gazes, Su Hao walked to the center of the battlefield without changing his expression and shook hands with the Dan Emperor.

When he was about to let go, Dan Emperor suddenly spoke.

"Did you feel it, Su Hao? The tense atmosphere in this battlefield formed a sharp contrast with the enthusiastic cheers of the audience.

Among these spectators, there are also people who pray for one side to lose. Do you think that is cruel?

What I like most is to withstand this terrible pressure, use all my skills as a trainer, and win one victory after another!

This feeling really makes me unable to extricate myself.

In order to become invincible and to meet their expectations, I gained experience from countless competitions.

But now it has changed. At this moment, I just want to enjoy this peak battle... no, enjoy this victory!"

The Dan Emperor raised his cloak, stared at Su Hao with burning eyes, and talked incessantly.

This is a game that cannot continue if only one side fails.

He will give it his all and enjoy every minute and every second.

"Then let's have a fight that we won't regret."

Su Hao looked at Dan Emperor without showing any weakness, smiled slightly, and turned back to his seat.

Dan Emperor, who understood Su Hao's meaning, raised the corner of his mouth slightly, turned around and walked in another direction with big strides.

After more than ten seconds, both sides were in position and a sharp whistle sounded.

Two Poké Balls were thrown into the sky at the same time.

They both said in unison: "Dorong Baruto!"
