Chapter 80
After two days of intensive registration and battles, the climax of the event finally officially kicked off.
In the past two days, many curious citizens began to rank the contestants.
Based on the known Pokémon information, Jon was actually ranked fifth.
Xiaosheng ran to Jon with this information in his hand.
This ranking really surprised Jon. After all, the organizer had been vigorously promoting for a whole week, and many contestants came from other places. A total of 1,120 trainers participated.
Although the 500,000 Alliance Coins merchandise vouchers are not a lot, the mysterious evolutionary props or carrying props that the top three can get are the main reasons for everyone's enthusiastic participation.
The organizer obviously knows where the biggest gimmick of this event is, so it has not been announced yet.
However, Jon found a familiar name from the information Xiaosheng gave him.
Although he has never seen it in person, it does not prevent him from knowing this person.
Zong Zheng, the top 16 player of this year's Caiyou Conference, lost to Xiaozhi in the game.
He rushed to Chenghua City yesterday, and the Pokémon he used was Swampert, which is currently ranked eleventh.
Jon held the number plate 256, stood behind a group of trainers, and quietly waited for the staff to call out the number.
Now the 2V2 doubles match is still going on. Unlike yesterday, this time the people on the same team will advance together to the next game, and the next game will be a 1V1 confrontation.
On the three battle platforms in front, fierce battles are taking place at this time, and sparks are flying.
But what surprised him was that none of the top-ranked people met each other, and he couldn't help but seriously suspect that this was a secret operation by the organizer behind the scenes.
The battle went very quickly, and it took almost two or three minutes to end one game. Jon estimated that there might be two battles today.
Then the trainer whose number was called immediately cheered up and went on stage to start the next fierce battle.
Such a fast battle process made the audience in the audience exclaim with excitement.
The shouts from the audience greatly affected the mood of the trainers and Pokémon.
Since there were 280 players who advanced, 70 matches were required.
After waiting for less than two hours, it was Jon's turn to compete.
Of course, Jon did not sit in a daze during these two hours, but watched the opponents' battles with full concentration.
Now the people ahead of him have already played, and as soon as he played, he instantly led a wave of enthusiasm.
Yesterday's Gyarados performed so amazingly that the audience in the audience still remembers Jon, a fledgling trainer.
"Jon! Jon!"
Because Jon has been in the player's seat, it was Mitsuko who accompanied Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng to arrive here today.
Xiaoyao saw Jon on stage and cheered for Jon, and her voice once overshadowed Xiaosheng.
The deafening cheers from the audience surprised his teammates, "You seem to be quite popular."
Then he stretched out his hand and shook hands with Jon enthusiastically, "Hello, my name is Tomono!"
"Hello, my name is Jon."
Jon smiled faintly. He also knew this person. He had watched the games of the Caiyou Conference in his previous life several times. This Tomono was also a trainer who lost to Xiaozhi.
Since he didn't know the top four players except Tetsuya, Jon didn't dare to guarantee whether they would appear here.
"The twentieth match of the third venue will be held next. The doubles match mode will be adopted. When all the Pokémon of one side lose their combat ability, the battle will end."
"Now the match begins. Please release your Pokémon, red and blue!"
As the referee of the third venue shouted loudly, four Poké Balls were thrown out at the same time. This is the rule.
Jon still chose to fight with Gyarados. Yesterday's injury has been fully recovered, and there is no problem fighting again.
Tomoya used Tropical Dragon, which flapped its wings and flew up as soon as it appeared, which could also cooperate well with Gyarados.
The opponent was still the blue team, and the Pokémon used were Mantis and Thunderbolt, neither of which were native Pokémon of the Hoenn region.
"Thunderbolt, use 100,000 volts on Gyarados!"
At the beginning of the game, Thunderbolt took the lead in attacking, and saw the electric current surging around it, and instantly used 100,000 volts at all costs on Gyarados.
"Tropical Dragon, use Guard to help Gyarados withstand the damage!"
However, Tomoya was quick-witted and grabbed Jon's shoulder and nodded to him, shouted at Tropical Dragon.
Tropical Dragon did not hesitate, and swung its powerful wings violently, blocking Gyarados in front of it with lightning speed, using the defense, and perfectly caught the 100,000 volts of Thunder Zebra.
"Giant Mantis, use the cross scissors on Tropical Dragon!"
"Get out of the way, use the seed machine gun!"
Giant Mantis immediately took action after hearing the order, waving its extremely sharp pliers in an instant, using the cross scissors, and pounced on Tropical Dragon.
Tropical Dragon was not afraid of danger, flapping its wings behind it, shaking its body, and hurriedly flew up, narrowly avoiding this fatal blow.
Then, it sprayed dense seed machine guns like rain from its mouth, launching a fierce counterattack against Giant Mantis.
"Take advantage of this moment, Thunder Zebra, use 100,000 volts on Gyarados again!"
At this time, Tropical Dragon, who was restrained by the giant claw mantis, had no time to care about other things. Jon, who had been watching the battle, finally gave the order.
"Gyarados, use Tornado!"
In an instant, a violent tornado roared out and collided violently with 100,000 volts. The collision of the two emitted a dazzling light and a deafening sound.
However, the tornado easily resolved Thunder Zebra's attack, and then approached Thunder Zebra with the remaining power of lightning.
"Thunder Zebra, run at full speed to avoid it!"
Thunder Zebra reacted quickly, running at full speed with four hooves.
At the same time, accompanied by the roar of thunder, it was very fast, bypassing the tornado and quickly approaching Gyarados.
Gyarados did not receive Jon's order, so it stopped quietly in place, motionless.
Just when the opponent thought Jon had given up, Jon suddenly shouted:
"Gyarados, Water Tail!"
"Water Tail? Xiaosheng, doesn't the effect of the Water-type's special move on the Electric-type be halved? Does this move really work?"
Xiaoyao has been studying hard these past two days, and attribute restraint is the most basic course. At this moment, she looked at Xiaosheng and asked curiously.
"Sister, the Water-type special move is effective against the Grass-type, and Gyarados's Water Tail is very powerful. Once the Thunder Zebra is hit, it will definitely be hit hard by Gyarados' tail and fly away!"
Xiaosheng has seen countless battles, and he said with great experience.
