Chapter 191 Starlight City Top 16

The stands were filled with noise and the cheers of the audience echoed throughout the entire Bug-type Gym.

The annual College Cup is extremely popular across the country. Almost everyone, from the elderly in their eighties to children in their fours and fives, watches the annual College Cup. The ratings of the College Cup have also long been ranked first in the ratings.

In addition to the extremely high ratings, residents from all over the country will also buy tickets, bring various cheering props, sit in the audience, cheer for their favorite contestants, and look forward to the contestants they support to represent Starlight City to achieve better results.

Although Starlight City's performance in recent years has been far from ideal, with no contestants having made it to the national finals for many years, it is precisely because of this that the citizens of Starlight City are holding their breath, looking forward to the emergence of a powerful trainer who will sweep away the haze and bring glory to Starlight City.

Xia Yu's appearance undoubtedly gave the citizens of Xingguang City a shot in the arm. Since the start of the competition, Xia Yu's Charizard has not lost even a small game. Such a strong strength quickly attracted fans, and many citizens of Xingguang City bought Xia Yu's posters and surrounding support items.

The local media in Xingguang City gave Xia Yu the headline spot, and praised him generously in the article, praising Xia Yu as a once-in-a-century talent in Xingguang City and the hope of Xingguang City. The article ended with a firm statement that this year Xia Yu is likely to break the best record since the founding of Xingguang City.

That is why more than half of the audience seats today were Xia Yu’s fans, holding cheering signs and even huge posters of Xia Yu, cheering for Xia Yu at the top of their lungs.

In sharp contrast to Xia Yu was Liao Quanliang. There were only a small group of his relatives and friends in the audience. Listening to the voices cheering for Xia Yu coming from all directions, Liao Quanliang blushed and silently took out the Poké Ball!

"Go, Blastoise!"

"Go ahead, Charizard!"

Xia Yu still started with Charizard, while Liao Quanliang sent out his ace Blastoise.

In the first game, Charizard vs. Blastoise, a battle between the first three starter Pokémons.

"Xia Yu, come on, beat him up!"

"Kill Blastoise!"

"Use Clear Sky first and then use Sunshine Blaze (I think this sounds good too), remember to trick out its defending skill first."

…………

Listening to the voices coming from the stands, Xia Yu felt a little embarrassed, because this was the tactic he had envisioned. It should be said that his Charizard tactics had been so simple and crude since the start of the game.

First turn on the weather, then choose one of the four skills, Heat Wind, Sun Blaze, Dragon Wave, and Jet Fire, according to different Pokémon to kill the opponent instantly.

"Charizard, sunny day!"

"Blazoo, pray for rain!"

This time it was a little different. Liao Quanliang's Blastoise actually used the rain-praying skill.

This was the first time that Xia Yu had to compete for the weather. In the game, competing for the weather is advantageous to the one who strikes last. Whoever strikes last can grab the weather.

But the difference in reality is that the battle for weather is very complicated.

First of all, just like in the game, the skills or characteristics of changing the weather that are activated later can cover the skills or characteristics of changing the weather that are activated first.

Secondly, the original weather on the playing field will also have an impact on the weather competition. For example, on a rainy day, when the strength of both sides is not much different, using the Sunny Day skill, whether used first or later, will definitely not be able to compete with the Pray for Rain skill.

The last and most important point is that the fight for the weather is also related to the strength of both sides. Whoever has a better control over energy can seize the weather.

Just like the situation in front of us, Charizard and Blastoise are releasing skills at the same time to compete for the weather, and the scene is cloudy. What they are competing for is the control of energy. Whoever has better control over energy can grab the weather.

It is obvious that Xia Yu's Charizard's control over energy is far stronger than Liao Quanliang's Blastoise.

As a fire energy ball flew into the air, the powerful fire energy instantly dispersed the dark clouds in the sky, changed the weather, tore a hole in the dark clouds, and a ray of sunlight broke through the clouds and shone on the field.

"Charizard, Sunshine Flame."

"Blazoo, hold on!"

Liao Quanliang reacted very quickly. After hearing Xia Yu ask Charizard to use Solar Flame, he immediately asked Blastoise to use the defend skill to block the Solar Flame skill that was coming.

"Blastoise, water cannon!"

Liao Quanliang knew that after using up his defensive skill, his Blastoise would definitely not be able to withstand Charizard's Solar Beam skill, so he directly let Blastoise use his ultimate skill, Water Cannon.

Even if you can't defeat Charizard, you still have to cause damage to it!

"Charizard, Sunshine Flame!"

The light gathered on Charizard's body, and the powerful grass-type energy formed a beam of light, which suddenly slammed towards Blastoise and finally collided with Water Cannon.

"boom!"

The power of Sun Flame completely crushed Blastoise's Water Cannon skill, penetrated directly into the Water Cannon, and bombarded Blastoise's body, knocking it down instantly!

"Bluse Turtle has lost its ability to fight. In the first round, Xia Yu wins!"

When the referee's voice was heard, cheers rang out at the venue, like a tsunami.

From the start of the College Cup to now, in all of Xia Yu's games, except for a few Pokémon that relied on defensive skills to delay for one round, all other Pokémon were killed instantly by Xia Yu's Charizard.

Charizard is a top lord-level Pokémon with the Clear Sky and Solar Power characteristics. Almost no Pokémon of the same level can withstand Charizard's full-strength attack.

Listening to the shouts and cheers from the audience, Xia Yu also waved back. Such a stage was enjoyable. Only Liao Quanliang, who was reduced to a background board on the opposite side, released his second Pokémon Raichu with a lonely look on his face.

"Leichu, one hundred thousand volts!"

"Charizard, Hot Wind."

Charizard's mouth was filled with raging flames, the flames surged in all directions, and scorching breath spewed out, covering the entire venue. Compared to the last time it fought with Li Miao, Charizard's strength had increased a bit.

Facing the overwhelming heat wave, Raichu only felt a red patch in front of his eyes, and his body was burned by the heat wave. He had no time to react before he was swallowed by the heat wave.

"Thunderchu!"

Liao Quanliang looked at Raichu wrapped in the heat wave and shouted loudly, but it was of no use.

When the heat wave subsided, Raichu's figure was revealed, lying on the ground motionless.

"Raichu has lost his ability to fight, Xia Yu has won the match, congratulations to Xia Yu for entering the top 32."

"Xia Yu!"

"Xia Yu!"

Cheers rang out, Xia Yu enjoyed the cheers of the crowd, listened to the hoarse shouts, and felt the atmosphere around him. Xia Yu also felt his blood boiling.

…………

Xia Yu's match from 32 to the round of 16 was in the afternoon. With Xia Yu's dominant performance, he naturally won the match easily.

至此星光市16强全部决出，明天也即将迎来最重要的两场比赛，16进8以及8进4。

Everyone else was more or less nervous, but Xia Yu was very relaxed. In the face of absolute strength, he never worried about losing.

For him, the competition in Xingguang City was just a warm-up. His real opponents would be the top four contestants from other cities in Xishu Province starting from the main competition. Their strength would be much stronger than that of the contestants from Xingguang City.
