Chapter 34 Elite Cup, the final stage begins!

Early on Saturday morning, Lin Rui and his family of three arrived at the Jianghai City Water System Gym.

Previously, the Jianghai City Pokémon League announced that the Elite Cup finals would be held here.

At the same time, starting from the finals, the organizers upgraded the competition venue.

It is no longer the same land battlefield as before, but has been changed to different types of battlefields such as pools, grass, rocks, snow, and ice.

As for which venue the players will encounter during the competition, it will be decided by drawing lots.

Before each game starts, the battle venue will be randomly drawn.

The two opposing teams will also be decided by drawing lots in the same way.

"So many people!"

Arriving at the water gym, Zhang Chunmei couldn't help but exclaimed.

There were more people coming to watch the game than she had imagined.

"Lin Rui, here!"

"Mom and Dad, my classmate is over there, let's go over there."

When Lin Rui saw Sun Zhi, Zheng Jianan and others greeting him, he hurriedly took the two elders over.

Today, not only Sun Zhi and Zheng Jianan came, but also Wang Shiyu, Xiao Yun and Bai Yiyi.

After Lin Rui introduced everyone, the group walked into the gym.

Afterwards, Lin Rui said something to everyone and went to the contestants’ waiting area.

……

"Dear audience friends, distinguished guests, and leaders, have a good weekend."

"I'm Qian Duoduo, the special commentator for the final stage of this Elite Cup Challenge!"

"Hello everyone, I'm Xiao Yu'er!"

9 o'clock in the morning.

Inside the stadium, the lights suddenly dimmed, and then two beams of light shone down from above the stadium and landed in the center of the battlefield.

Immediately afterwards, a pair of handsome men and beautiful women appeared in everyone's sight.

The two people are Qian Duoduo and Xiao Yuer, the commentators of this final stage.

"This Elite Cup Challenge is full of masters. Every player who makes it to the top 32 cannot be ignored. Yu'er, I want to ask you, among these 32 players, which one do you think is the best?"

After a brief opening speech, Qian Duoduo asked Xiao Yuer in order to liven up the atmosphere.

This was the script that the two had discussed beforehand, and its purpose was to introduce information about several contestants to the audience.

Xiao Yuer smiled and said, "In fact, I think these 32 players are all very strong. For example, Zhao Yu's electric beast has never lost since the preliminaries."

"In addition, there are too many people like Zhang Qi, Liu Lei, Zhou Wenyu, Li Zihan, Li Junjie, etc."

“But if I were to say who I’m most optimistic about, it would definitely be Lin Rui!”

As soon as Xiao Yuer finished speaking, all the contestants waiting in the contestant area looked at Lin Rui in the corner at the same time.

Immediately afterwards, Lin Rui's system popped up one prompt after another.

[Ding! Negative emotions from Zhao Yu, +50! ]

[Ding! Negative emotions from Zhang Qi, +99! ]

[Ding! Negative emotions from Liu Lei, +100! ]

……

Facing everyone's unfriendly gazes, Lin Rui could only wave awkwardly and said, "Hello!"

Suddenly, there was another series of system prompts.

the other side.

in the audience.

When Zhang Chunmei heard the host Xiao Yuer say that her most promising contestant was her son, she was so happy that she proudly told the people around her.

"Lin Rui, my son. The host said he is most optimistic about my son!"

Back on the field.

Qian Duoduo was also very puzzled as to why Xiao Yuer was optimistic about Lin Rui, and asked curiously.

"Oh, Lin Rui? I wonder why you are so optimistic about him, Yu'er? I remember that he is only 18 years old, and he has only been a trainer for a short time."

"Brother Duoduo, as you said, Lin Rui is only 18 years old this year, and he has been a trainer for less than a month."

"But precisely because of this, I am more optimistic about him." Xiao Yuer said with a smile.

"I understand!"

After Xiao Yu'er's reminder, Qian Duoduo also realized something and said, "It's been less than a month since Lin Rui became a trainer, and he was able to make it to the top 32. This is not only because of luck, but also because of strength."

"I am also looking forward to Lin Rui's performance in the finals. Without further ado, let me announce the rules of the finals of the Elite Cup Challenge!"

"The final stage will be a 2v2 single elimination match. The two teams will be randomly determined. Once both Pokémon of one team lose their combat capability, they will be eliminated immediately. The winner will advance to the next round."

"The competition venue will be randomly determined before the match begins. This time, the competition venues for the final stage will include grass, pools, rocks, snow, ice, etc."

"Dear contestants, are you ready?"

"The first Elite Cup Challenge, the final stage of the competition is now officially - starting!"

"Please invite the first match contestant to the stage!"

As Qian Duoduo finished speaking, the trainer areas on both sides of the battlefield slowly rose, revealing the figures of two people.

At the same time, Qian Duoduo and Xiao Yuer, who returned to the commentary booth, began to introduce the two.

"The first match is between Zhao Yu and Zhang Qi."

"The one on my left is Zhao Yu. He made it all the way to the top 32 in the qualifying round with the perfect performance of Electabuzz. In today's 2v2 match, what kind of Pokémon will he send out? I'm really looking forward to it."

After Qian Duoduo introduced Zhao Yu, Xiao Yuer also introduced Zhang Qi.

"The other player is Zhang Qi. Even though she is a girl, she made it to the top 32 in the qualifying round with only one Pokémon, Gengar."

"The game is about to begin. Let's wait and see who will win!"

These two people were what Lin Rui considered to be his biggest competitors on the road to the championship, but he didn't expect to meet them in the first match of the 32 to 16 round.

This would help him eliminate a powerful opponent, so his luck was not bad.

At this time, the referee is in place.

And the battle venue has also been determined, it is a rock-type battle venue.

This venue provides neither bonus nor weakening for either side, so it can be considered a relatively fair venue.

"Please send Pokémon from both sides!"

"Go, Electabuzz!"

"Come out, Gengar!"

As everyone expected, the Pokémon sent out by both sides at the beginning were Electabuzz and Gengar, which had performed well in the preliminaries.

Electabuzz is an Electric-type, and Gengar is a Ghost-type plus a Poison-type.

In terms of attributes, there is no mutual restraint.

Moreover, both Pokémon are level 30, the peak lord level combat power.

Therefore, the key to the victory or defeat of the game depends on the trainer's tactical arrangements and on-the-spot performance.

"Game start!"

With the referee's order, the first match of the final 32 to the top 16 officially began.

"Electabuzz, use Electric Field!"

"Gengard, use Black Eyes!"

When both sides started, they did not choose to attack, but used auxiliary skills at the same time.

[Electric Field: Transform the field into an electric field for a certain period of time. The Pokémon on the ground will not be able to fall asleep, and the power of electric-attribute moves will be increased. ]

[Black Gaze: Stare at the opponent motionlessly with a black gaze that seems to be able to seduce the opponent, making it impossible for the opponent to escape from the battle.]

One is to stack buffs for yourself, and the other is to prevent the opponent from escaping.

It can be seen that this will be a very exciting game!
