Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

The fifty-sixth day of traveling to the Kanto region, sunny.

Today is the first day of the knockout round of the Quartz Conference. Only the top 16 will compete, still in a six-on-six format.

The tolerance rate has doubled, and the difficulty has more than doubled. Trainers who can reach this step are at least senior trainers.

Of course, that idiot Xiaozhi doesn’t count. This silly boy is really lucky. He made it all the way to the top 16 and entered the knockout stage, where he will soon face a strong opponent.

At the draw venue, the only sixteen remaining contestants were divided into Group A and Group B. Each group had eight people, and they competed in pairs.

Until there is only one person left in Group A and only one person left in Group B, competing for the final championship...

There is also a big screen here. He saw that many people have already drawn lots. Satoshi is in Group A, Satoshi's rival Hiro is also in Group A, and Raiji has also come to the knockout round and is also in Group A.

Xiaoying defeated Shinji yesterday and was drawn into Group B today. Xiaoqian, whom he knew, was also in Group B...

If you are drawn to Group A, you will have to face Lei Si. If you are drawn to Group B, you will have to face Xiaoying and others. It is really difficult to fight anywhere...

As the finals circle narrowed, he kept running into these old acquaintances, and he had no choice but to draw the lots with his eyes closed.

The draw this time is for fishing. There are Magikarp in the swimming pool. The Magikarp have numbers on them, such as (a-1) (a-2) and so on, until number four in group A and number four in group B. The two contestants who catch the same number will become opponents.

When it comes to fishing, he is so good at it. He is a fisherman. As soon as he throws the bait down, a stupid fish will take the hook. As soon as he pulls it up, he sees the number B-1 on the Magikarp.

And the number one opponent of group B is...

"Haha, we meet finally, Xiaoying," Yu Hai saw the opponent's avatar on the screen. His avatar and Xiaoying's avatar were facing each other from a distance. He didn't expect that the first game of the knockout round would be against Xiaoying.

He did not suspect any shady dealings because he had caught the Magikarp himself and there were water stains on the bait, which showed that it had been used by someone before, so there was no possibility of shady dealings.

There were eight Magikarps in total in two groups A and B in the swimming pool, but he had to catch the number one Magikarp from group B. This is the fate of a fisherman.

Knockout round...it seems Xiaoying is the only one who can be eliminated.

He knows this kid too well, so there's no way he'll let him off. We'll have to wait and see on the court.

On the other side, Xiaoying was reminded by her teacher, King Xiba, and she also knew that her opponent had appeared.

When Xiaoying saw Yu Hai's profile picture, she was startled and murmured to herself: "Brother Hai, I finally met him..."

Xiaoying looked at Yu Hai's avatar on the screen, his eyes full of fighting spirit. The powerful fast swimming frog gave him the confidence to defeat Yu Hai, and he believed in his own fast swimming frog.

……

The main venue was already full of spectators when Yu Hai arrived, and everyone was very enthusiastic because the avatars of the two contestants appeared on the screen, and below them were six elf avatars.

Only when the trainer releases a Pokémon will the Pokémon's portrait on the big screen light up. Once the Pokémon loses its combat ability, the portrait will turn gray.

He came to the match, ready to watch his opponent's game, and the first match of the day was Lei Si's match...

"Leisi, Leisi, Leisi..."

"Haixiong, Haixiong, Haixiong..."

As the two contestants entered the arena, the audience cheered loudly, making everyone in the venue excited.

Ukai was not infected by such emotions, he just sat next to Xiaozhi and his group of three, but these three people were quite excited.

"What a coincidence, you're here too?" Ukai smiled and greeted Satoshi and his group. There were not only Satoshi and his group, but also Professor Oak, Hanako, Nanami, and Shigeki...

"Hey, Xiao Mao is here too, and Sister Hanako, this should be the knowledgeable Professor Oak, I often watch your lectures, and I have wanted to meet you for a long time." Ukai actually has not watched Professor Oak's lectures, but he has seen pigs run...

"Ah? You should be the one Xiaozhi mentioned..." Professor Oak pretended to be in deep thought, but in fact he didn't want to reveal the fact that he had already found out everything about the other party.

"My name is Ukai. This is my first time in Kanto area, so I stayed at Hanako-sister's house. I've always been grateful to Hanako-sister for taking me in," Ukai smiled shyly and scratched his head awkwardly. It was really too difficult for a man in his thirties to act young, and he couldn't act it.

"Xiao Hai, you are so polite. I heard that you took good care of Xiao Zhi when he met you!" Hanako covered her mouth and chuckled, then pulled her silly son and asked him to say hello.

"Brother Hai, you come to watch the game too!" Xiaozhi smiled awkwardly and asked a very stupid question.

"Stupid Xiaozhi, you are not here to watch the game, why are you here?" Xiaoxia curled her lips and looked down on Xiaozhi. How did this guy make it to the knockout stage if he was so stupid?

"Damn Misty," Xiaozhi's fists hardened again, but he didn't dare to attack because his mother grabbed him.

"Xiaozhi, how can you bully a girl?" Hanako taught Xiaozhi not to quarrel with Xiaoxia and to give in to Xiaoxia.

"I know, Mom," Xiaozhi responded sullenly, thinking to himself who is your son!

"Xiaozhi, you are worthy of being me," Xiaomao glanced at Xiaozhi. As expected, only Xiaozhi would ask such an idiotic question.

"Xiaomao, Xiaozhi has already made it to the knockout round, and you still have the nerve to talk about Xiaozhi," Nanami couldn't stand Xiaomao's arrogance the most, so she quickly spoke up to help Xiaozhi.

"Yeah, Xiaomao," Xiaozhi smiled proudly. He had never defeated Xiaomao in his life, and this time he finally got rid of his anger.

"Hmph," Xiao Mao knew that he was not in the right and did not have the strength, so he just shut up and stopped talking.

"Hmph," seeing that Xiao Mao dared to sneer, Nanami immediately raised her hand and slapped him hard on the top of his head, leaving a big red bump.

Then she saw Xiaozhi laughing again, and Nanami raised her hand again and gave Xiaozhi a big red bag. This time, it was Xiaogang and Xiaoxia who laughed.

In addition to them, the three members of Team Rocket were standing at the back of the audience. When they saw the big bump on Ash's head, they also covered their mouths and laughed secretly, secretly sighing that this little brat had finally been beaten...

Seeing that this family was full of funny people, Yu Hai forced himself to hold back his laughter, looked at the game below, and shouted to everyone: "The game has begun..."

"The long-awaited elimination match is about to begin. The red team player is Raiji from Sinnoh, and the green team player is Kaixiong from Kanto..."

"Both players are the most popular candidates to win the championship. They are also veterans from the last and the year before last. Who will win between the two veterans? Please wait and see..."

"This is the first elimination match of Group A. We will use the normal battle field and six Pokémons. Please take your positions and release your first Pokémons together..."

bang bang-

With two sounds of the Poké Ball opening, Lei Si and Hai Xiong threw the Poké Ball together...

"Go, Gyarados..."

"Go, Electric Beast..."

"It's an Electabuzzer... an evolved form found in the Sinnoh region. I heard it has a very powerful lightning attack, with enough electricity to support the operation of a city..."

"Electric Beast?" Haixiong gritted his teeth when he saw the Electric Beast. Most of his Pokémon were water-type, and only one Nidoqueen could defend against the Electric Beast, so he decided to recall Gyarados, "Come back, Gyarados, go, Nidoqueen..."

"It's Nidoqueen. Kaixiong chose to change the first Pokémon to deal with the unfavorable attributes at the beginning. Lei Si did not take back the idea of ​​​​Electric Beast. Could it be that he wanted to use Electric Beast to fight against the ground-type Nidoqueen..."

As the host finished speaking, the battle on the battlefield began...

"Nidoqueen, earthquake..."

"To shock the monster, we also use earthquakes..."

Boom, boom, boom——

As the ground began to shake and the vibration spread to the audience, the host screamed again: "It's an earthquake. Contestant Lei Si used a non-type earthquake to counter Nidohou's type-type earthquake. Surprisingly, the result was evenly matched..."

"Electricize the monster, use thunder on the ground..."

"Roar," the electric monster lay on the ground, with two detonator tentacles behind it inserted into the ground, and used thunder to strike the ground, immediately raising a lot of gravel and rushing towards Nidoqueen...

"Nidoqueen, hold on..."

"Ha," Lei Si sneered. The opponent's defense was too early, and he immediately shouted to the electric shock monster: "Electric shock monster, freezing fist..."

"Roar," the electric monster took back the detonator and put it behind him, then instantly jumped up and came in front of Nidoqueen. He raised his fist high and punched Nidoqueen hard, knocking her away.

"Nidoqueen," Haixiong saw Nidoqueen being beaten and flying, crashing into the wall of the audience seats. He hurried over to check Nidoqueen's injuries, but before he could touch Nidoqueen, she was instantly frozen.

Kaka, kaka——

After being frozen for a few breaths, the ice broke as Nidoqueen struggled. Nidoqueen broke free from the ice, and supported herself on one knee on the ground, struggling to support her body, unable to get up at all.

"Nidoqueen," Haixiong saw Nidoqueen like this and could only use the Poké Ball to take back Nidoqueen, then turned around and threw the Poké Ball of Gyarados.

Nidoqueen was seriously injured, and now she could only use five water-type Pokémon to face Lei Si's electric shock monsters...

"Tsk, he's going to lose," after seeing Kaixiong take back Nido, Ukai no longer needed to watch, he discovered that Lei Si actually used the electric beast's tail to increase the explosive power of the electric beast, and with a double restrained freezing punch, he seriously injured Nidoqueen.

Next, Kaixiong's five water-type Pokémon, Gyarados, Golduck, Venomoustorn, Vaporeon, and Seaspur, will all be harvested by the Electric Beast one by one, and a string of six will be achieved. It's so terrifying that the Electric Beast has never encountered Tiehanhan...

Lei Si should have learned the lesson from the defeat of the Sharptooth Land Shark and worked out this tactic. It seems that the opponent also knows that the outbreak of the Poliwag is strange and is not too stupid.

"Brother Hai, how do you know he is going to lose?" Xiaozhi heard Yu Hai say this and couldn't help but ask Yu Hai curiously, wanting to hear how Yu Hai knew that Kaixiong would lose after watching the first battle.

"Because the Electric Beast is very strong, because of the attribute restraint," Ukai didn't know how to explain it to Xiaozhi, because Xiaozhi was a master of reverse attributes and didn't know how great the advantage of attribute restraint was.

What's more, the non-type Earthquake of Electric Beast is actually comparable to the power of Nidoqueen's own Earthquake, which is enough to prove the power of Electric Beast.

The adverse attributes can suppress Nido, and the following favorable attributes are just like bullying a child.

"Very strong?" Xiaozhi only saw that Electabuzz had forced Kaixiong to take back Nido, but did not defeat Nido. Does this also mean that Electabuzz is very strong?

"Stupid Xiaozhi, being able to reverse attributes and force the opponent to take back the Pokémon is enough to prove how powerful the Pokémon with reverse attributes are. How did you make it to the knockout stage? Don't you even understand this?" Xiaomao saw that Xiaozhi still didn't understand, so he couldn't help but explain.

"Doesn't Kaixiong still have five Pokémon? Could it be that five Pokémon can't beat an Electabuzz?" Xiaozhi didn't understand. His three Pokémon could replace Koji's Gyarados, so could it be that the opponent's five Pokémon couldn't replace an Electabuzz.

"Hey," Xiao Mao raised his hands to cover his face. How could he know such a stupid guy? He only now remembered that Xiaozhi did not collect information about the opponent, so he didn't know that the next battle would be based on the attributes.

"Ash, that Electabuzz can use lightning to knock rocks off the ground, which is enough to show that Electabuzz has strong electricity. If there are only Water-type Pokémon next, player Kaio will have no chance of turning the tables," Professor Oak saw that Satoshi was still confused, so he had to explain.

He did not tell Xiaozhi that he had to do a good job of intelligence work, which was a compulsory course for trainers. Who knew that Xiaozhi just rushed all the way.

"Ash, except for the Nidoqueen, the rest of Contestant Kaixiong's Pokémon are all Water-type Pokémon," Brock, who was sitting next to Ash, couldn't help but move his butt, afraid of being infected.

But he was stopped by Xiaozhi, and he could only explain the reason to Xiaozhi...

"Oh, I understand. Why not use the reverse attribute to defeat the electric beast?" Xiaozhi seemed to have an epiphany. He clenched one hand into a fist and hammered it on the other palm. The expression on his face lit up instantly. He knew how to defeat Lei Si.

"Ahem," Yu Hai saw that everyone around him was shocked by Xiaozhi's unique ideas. He almost couldn't hold it in. He could only cover his mouth tightly to prevent himself from doing anything impolite and hurt Xiaozhi's young heart.

In fact, Xiaozhi's understanding is correct. If Xiaozhi were to play in the game, under the same level conditions, Xiaozhi would definitely win. The reverse attribute aura cannot be refuted.

But Kaixiong is not Xiaozhi, and facing Lei Si's electric shock monster, he can only end up regretfully...

As Gyarados fell, Golduck, Venomoustide, Vaporeon, and Seaspurred followed, until Kaio threw out Nido again...

"One against five. Lei Si's Electric Beast has accomplished a feat of one against five. With only one Nido left, can Lei Si create a miracle and win six in a row in the first game of the knockout round..."

"Electric shock monster..."

"Roar……"

Dangdang——

With the sound of clangs, the first elimination match came to an end. Haixiong knelt on the ground in despair, sweating profusely, his eyes blurred, and he could no longer see the fallen Nidoqueen.

This was an unprecedented defeat, which shattered his self-confidence. As a veteran from the previous session, he was beaten bloody by the veterans from the session before him.

The opponent only used an electric beast to beat him without any chance of fighting back. Looking at the elves falling one by one, which was broadcast live to the whole world, he was considered strong inside for not collapsing on the spot.

As Nidoqueen fell, he could no longer hold on and fell to the ground. From the corner of his eye, he saw Miss Joy approaching in a hurry. He could only hear the clamor and the sound of rollers. He was lifted onto a stretcher and pushed away, and then he fainted...
