Chapter 15
Today's competition venue was carefully set up on the deck of the ship.
From six o'clock in the morning, the staff began to get busy and set up.
They not only successfully built a rock venue, but also cleverly created a small pool in it.
When the clock pointed to nine o'clock, the trainers who successfully advanced to the quarterfinals lined up neatly in front of the stage, waiting for the draw with great anticipation.
"Come on, Jon!"
"Come on, Xiaoyi..."
"You must win the championship, Xiaofeng!"
After last night's battle, these eight players each gained a group of temporary fans. Of course, the atmosphere groups specially arranged by the organizer also played a vital role in the whole process.
"The players who entered the quarterfinals, you are very lucky. After discussion last night, the venue was changed to a rock venue today.
However, tricks such as earthquakes that will have a greater impact on the ship are still prohibited. Now please invite our eight players to come on stage to draw lots."
It was still the energetic host last night, who kept livening up the atmosphere on the stage.
Jon was lucky enough to draw the number one, which meant that he would be the first player to play.
After he handed the number to the host, he slowly stepped onto the competition field.
Today's field was more than three times larger than last night. In order to allow the trainers to perform better, the organizer was indeed quite responsible.
"Now, let's start the first quarterfinals, with Jon from Fighting Town versus Ryan from Changpan City in the Kanto region."
The host held the microphone and said loudly, "Please release your Pokémon on both sides."
"Go, Big Wolf Dog."
"Go, Pikachu."
The two Pokémon made a brilliant appearance, instantly igniting the enthusiasm of the audience. Most girls were attracted by the cute Pikachu, while boys were fascinated by the handsomeness of Big Wolf Dog.
The Big Wolf Dog's sharp eyes glared, and its characteristic intimidation took effect instantly. Pikachu was frightened and unconsciously stepped back a few steps.
Ryan couldn't help but feel a little nervous. He had studied Jon and his wolfhound carefully last night.
Jon's excellent command ability made him feel inferior, and he won the previous battles by relying on Pikachu's speed advantage.
But the wolfhound was outstanding in both reaction speed and action speed.
At this time, the referee blew the whistle!
"The game begins!"
"Pikachu, use Lightning Flash!"
"We also use Lightning Flash!"
The two Pokémon collided with each other in an instant, but Pikachu's power was obviously inferior to that of the wolfhound, and it was knocked away fiercely.
"Use 100,000 volts!"
"Use Shadow Clone to avoid it."
Pikachu immediately gathered a powerful 100,000 volt electricity with all his strength, but more than a dozen wolfhounds appeared on the field in an instant, and all attacks failed.
"It's our turn to attack, Wolfhound, use Shadow Ball."
Many shadow clones disappeared in an instant, leaving only one behind Pikachu, who opened his mouth and spit out a powerful Shadow Ball.
"Pikachu, move at high speed!"
Pikachu ran quickly, fully demonstrating the amazing speed of the electric Pokémon.
"Wolfhound, catch up!"
Wolfhound immediately chased after Pikachu and started a fierce chase race with Pikachu.
"Pikachu, stop and attack from behind!"
Jon had expected Pikachu's attack, and when he saw Pikachu stop and attack Wolfhound.
"Wolfhound, block it with your paws!"
"What?"
Ryan didn't expect Jon to give such an order at all. He saw Wolfhound suddenly brake, then raised his two front paws high and pressed down from top to bottom.
"Pikachu, 100,000 volts!"
Just when Pikachu was about to be pinned down, a large amount of lightning suddenly burst out of its body.
"Big wolfhound, use the power of your hind legs to jump up and use your iron tail to cut off the lightning!"
Jon gave the order decisively, and the big wolfhound instantly jumped up, rolled in the air for a few rounds, and stretched its silver-white tail forward, slashing down with the force of thunder.
Pikachu's 100,000 volts were directly split, and it had no time to dodge, and it took the powerful blow of the iron tail.
Pikachu fell heavily to the ground, and two circles appeared in his eyes, and he lost his ability to fight.
"Pikachu!"
Ryan shouted nervously, and the referee saw Pikachu's condition and immediately blew the whistle.
"Pikachu has lost his ability to fight, and the winner is"Jon."
The scene suddenly burst into cheers, and even Qianli couldn't help but applaud Jon.
"Great, Jon!"
Xiaosheng had completely transformed into Jon's fan at this time, sitting on Qianli's shoulder and shouting excitedly.
Xiaoyao looked at the scene in front of him, and his heart was filled with longing.
Is this the Pokémon battle that everyone loves so much?
Jon and Ryan shook hands solemnly, and Jon's face did not show the slightest smugness.
You know, although Pikachu has a relatively strong strength in the ordinary level, it still cannot cross that boundary and reach the elite level.
As Jon and Ryan slowly left the field, there was almost no time gap, and the next duel was carried out in full swing.
In order to allow all participants to watch the fierce battle of their opponents more clearly and comprehensively, the organizers specially set up a separate viewing seat for them.
The following battle process was extremely tight, with almost no strength crushing, and the fights were all back and forth.
I don’t know if it was good luck, I didn’t encounter a freak like Shinji who fought at full level at level 5.
In the end, the players who successfully advanced to the top four were born.
They were Jon from Wudou Town, Xiaorou from Kanaz City, Hongye from Kamuen Town, and Xiaona from Binhai City in Sinnoh.
In the semi-finals, Jon was about to face Xiaorou from Kanaz City.
It was heard that she was the proud disciple of the gym leader Dujuan, and she was also a trainer specializing in rock.
Xiaorou gently shook her brown short hair, and her eyes were already full of fighting spirit. At this time, the loud voice of the host sounded at the right time.
"Please release your Pokémon, both players."
Then, almost at the same time, the two quickly pulled out the Poké Balls from their waists and threw them hard onto the field.
"Go, big wolfhound. "Jon shouted.
"Go, towards Beibi!" Xiaorou shouted immediately afterwards.
