Chapter 298 The Road to Champions

A week later, the final of the College Cup will be held.

Xia Yu, the dark horse from Xingguang City, versus Su Muzhi, the genius from Demon City.

Speaking of Su Muzhi, the two of them are old acquaintances. When they were training in the Dragon Secret Realm before, the two of them often trained and fought together. They can be said to be quite familiar with the other team and the main Pokémon.

Su Muzhi's team was also jokingly called the Pokémon Internet celebrity team by Xia Yu.

Gardevoir, Dragonite, Sylveon, Milotic, Hirano, Togekiss, Mimikyu

The main feature is the coexistence of beauty and strength. There are seven Pokémon, all of which are good-looking, extremely popular, and extremely powerful. Among them, five are Su Mu Zi fairy-type Pokémon.

Given the Fairy type's restraint over the Dragon type, this final match can be said to be extremely difficult to win.

This is also because Xia Yu does not have a powerful steel-type Pokémon. As long as Xia Yu has a Metagross, even if it is a Gigantic, Xia Yu can kill it indiscriminately.

The flaws in the lineup forced Xia Yu to find another way, to think of a solution from a tactical level, to see if he could come up with a sneaky move to kill Su Muzhi.

You should know that among Su Muzi's current seven Pokémon, she must definitely use the two ace Pokémon, Dragonite and Gardevoir.

The speedy Dragonite and the high-speed special attack ace Gardevoir are both tough nuts to crack. Xia Yu can only rely on Clear Sky's Charizard, taking advantage of Clear Sky's bonus and relying on its indomitable special attack to defeat these two Pokémon.

Apart from these two Pokémon, Xia Yu had no idea which Pokémon Su Muzhi would send to play as the last Pokémon.

Sylveon, Togekiss, Mimikyu, and Hirano are all possible. The only one that is unlikely is Milotic.

Because Menus is still a bit weak, he is at the bottom of Su Muzi's team.

Each of these four Pokémon is difficult to beat.

The giant voice fairy cloth, Tianen Pokkis, Painted Skin Miku, and the sea lion with wet voice, each of them is not weak, and it can even be said that they are all very strong.

The more Xia Yu thought about it, the more annoyed he became. He couldn't help but curse Su Muzhi in his heart.

Su Muzi, you are really damned, how can you use such a disgusting Pokémon. Why not use Pokémon like Magikarp and Iron Dumbbell?

Fairy type, my lifelong enemy.

…………

Seven days is neither long nor short. During these seven days, Xia Yu turned down all social engagements and prepared wholeheartedly for the final.

Mr. and Mrs. Lin and Mr. and Mrs. Xia Yong also knew that Xia Yu was at a critical moment these days, so they did not disturb him unless it was something particularly urgent.

…………

The same scene happened in the Xiao family. Su Muzhi was also doing the same thing these days. She was also actively preparing for the final and thinking about how to defeat Xia Yu.

She didn't want to lose to Xia Yu. Especially seeing that Xia Yu was rising like a rising star, Su Muzi didn't want to lose to Xia Yu even more.

Even if she couldn't be as dazzling as the sun like Xia Yu, she also hoped that she could be as bright as the moon. To achieve the same brilliance of the sun and the moon, the two of them reflecting each other, shining brighter than the stars at night.

…………

For seven days, almost all mainstream media in China were reporting on the final and warming up for the final.

The official promotional poster was released as early as the night of the semi-finals.

On the huge poster, Xia Yu and Su Muzhi are fighting for the championship trophy.

There are three Pokémon surrounding Xia Yu.

Mega Charizard, Mega Lizard King and Sonic Dragon. As the pioneer of Mega Evolution, the official also gave a close-up of Xia Yu's jade pendant and ring, which were emitting dazzling light.

On the other side, Su Muzi's team was much more gorgeous, with six Pokémon surrounding her, and each Pokémon was extremely good-looking.

Especially Gardevoir, the wife beast, occupies the core C position, and even Dragonite has to admit defeat.

In addition to posters, subway advertisements, bus advertisements, short videos, and self-media are all broadcasting news about the finals to build momentum for the game.

The names of Xia Yu and Su Muzhi also frequently appeared on the hot searches, and some netizens who were eager to watch the fun found out that Xia Yu and Su Muzhi were both players in the training camp of the Imperial Capital Dragon Secret Realm this year, which made the Imperial Capital Dragon Secret Realm even more popular.

Of course, there are even more gossipers who claim to be students of Xia Yu and Su Muzhi’s training camp, and swear that the two were secretly dating in the training camp.

Then someone said that the Lin family and the Su family were planning to form an alliance, and Xia Yu was already engaged to Su Muzhi, and they were just waiting to get married once they reached the age.

Naturally, enthusiastic netizens love to read these gossips the most. After being forwarded crazily, some netizens even jokingly called this year's finals a battle between husband and wife.

"Xia Yu won the final and went home and fell to her knees."

"They showed affection on the court and fell in love off the court."

"Xia Yu, you really deserve to die. I don't feel sad no matter how awesome you are in scientific research and training, but you really deserve to die for finding such a beautiful girlfriend."

"@Xia Yu, come out and talk."

"Hello everyone, I am a fan of Xia Yu's wife. I am a fan of his wife, his wife is so beautiful."

…………

A week later, the much-anticipated College Cup finals finally kicked off.

The competition will be held at the Dragon Nest Stadium, an international battlefield in the imperial capital. As the largest stadium in the imperial capital and even in the whole country, Dragon Nest can accommodate over 100,000 spectators.

Tickets for the final were sold out as soon as they were released. An hour before the final officially started, the Longchao Stadium was already packed with people, and the number of people kept increasing.

The weather today is also exceptionally good, and the sunny day is quite beneficial for Xia Yu.

Xia Yu and Su Muzhi had arrived at the venue early, and they glanced at each other from a distance when entering.

Su Muzhi was also full of fighting spirit today. She waved her little fists symbolically, as if telling Xia Yu that she was going to beat Xia Yu up today.

After a brief encounter, the two returned to their respective lounges to prepare for the game.

…………

"Xia Yu, are you ready?" The staff member checked the time and confirmed with Xia Yu, "The game will start in five minutes. You can get ready to go on stage. Are you ready?"

"Well, I'm ready." Xia Yu nodded.

"Come on, I'll take you to the contestant channel."

Xia Yu took a deep breath, followed the staff, and walked into the contestant channel.

Standing in the contestant channel, looking towards the light at the end of the channel, he was actually a little nervous at this moment. Fine beads of sweat appeared on the palms of his hands, and his hands were shaking slightly.

This was the first time he was so nervous. Perhaps it was because he was so close to the championship. The closer he was to the championship, the more afraid he was of losing.

…………

"Dear audience, let's give a warm round of applause to welcome Xia Yu, the genius trainer from Xingguang City, Xishu Province!"

Hearing his name, Xia Yu walked towards the venue along the contestant channel.

When he walked out of the contestant channel, what came into view was the densely packed audience and the endless cheers!

"Xia Yu!"
