Pokémon: The Climb

"Yang Yan, congratulations on passing the second round!"

As soon as he came back, everyone sent congratulations.

"Thank you!" Yang Yan responded politely: "I believe everyone can pass smoothly."

After exchanging a few words, everyone turned to look at other people's matches.

"I'm afraid it wouldn't be a good idea to leave at this time." Yang Yan thought to himself, "It's better to stay."

The fastest player behind was Gao Liu.

Gao Liu's strength is considered relatively good among everyone, and he passed the second round smoothly.

The Pokémon he used in both games were of the fire type, not the same one, so his opponents could easily analyze the information that Takayanagi specializes in the fire type, and it would be easy to target him.

After that, Rina, Kumi, Yaki and Matsue appeared.

Rina also successfully passed the second round, using the three-in-one Magnemite.

Generally speaking, if you use the same Pokémon for two consecutive games, you will need to change it later, otherwise others will be able to prepare tactics in advance based on the previous two battles.

But this is based on the premise that the opponent will still use this Pokémon. If another Pokémon is used, especially a Pokémon with fundamentally different attributes, it can also successfully trick the opponent. Therefore, psychological warfare before the battle begins is also a very important part.

Yang Yan is facing the same problem now.

The difference is that the ability of the Crossed Bat is far less exposed than that of the three-in-one Magnemite in these two games, so Yang Yan will have more choices.

Kumi's second round was very difficult. Among them, the reason why the most powerful Gem Starfish was exposed early and was targeted was mainly due to the lack of training of Gem Star Star and the limitations of Kumi's own trainer ability.

Fortunately, her opponent's abilities were only on the same level as hers, and she was able to gain the upper hand simply by relying on her attribute advantages.

After everyone's guidance yesterday, Jiumei already knew what to do in this situation, so he did not panic, but patiently recovered the disadvantages bit by bit, and finally achieved a comeback.

This battle is very exciting, and I'm afraid there will be a lot of discussion after it ends.

Yaki's performance was as stable as in the last game. The defensive power of the spiny shell gave him enough time to find the opponent's flaws.

One spiny shell is obviously not enough to see much, so Yang Yan needs more observations.

What is more surprising is Song Ming's game.

This time, his luck could be said to be the worst. The opponent he encountered turned out to be a guy who had hidden his strength.

The Pokémon Song Ming used was the Platypus, his strongest and the one he used in the first round.

In the first round, his opponent used an intermediate powerful grass-type Overlord Flower, but it was difficult to win the first round.

Song Ming originally thought that his opponent's strength was average, and he might even be a specialized trainer who was good at the grass type, so he was relatively confident in this match.

However, I never expected that the opponent would use a turtle-footed giant armor with high-level strength in this round!

The turtle-footed giant armor of the water + rock type has 4 times the resistance to the fire type, making it the real nemesis of the fire type.

When the strength of both sides is similar, the attribute advantage will become an important factor in determining the outcome.

Song Ming was caught off guard and his opponent seized the opportunity to get close, and was defeated by a series of attacks.

"Sorry everyone, I lost."

Song Ming came back with a frustrated face. As the first person to leave the show, one can imagine his mood at this time.

"It doesn't matter, you did your best."

Everyone offered words of comfort.

"Song Ming, let's see what happens next. If I have a chance to meet that guy, I will definitely help you avenge him!" Gao Liuyi shouted angrily.

It's natural for him to be angry when he sees his companions who live together day and night being defeated.

"Thank you everyone," Song Ming said with a wry smile: "But revenge is too exaggerated. This is an alliance conference, a competition, and winning or losing is normal. This time, my skills are inferior to others, I can't blame others."

……

Song Ming's defeat made everyone truly feel the cruelty of the Alliance Conference.

On the way back, no one was in the mood to have a dinner party or anything else. They are all prepared to study their opponents in the next round to prevent their opponents from taking advantage of them again.

Since Song Ming's game was almost at the end, the new round of battle schedule had been released before they even returned to the room.

Everyone immediately returned to their rooms and started checking.

Yang Yan sat at his desk and clicked on the alliance's official website.

"Game 2 on Site 4 is another very early round."

"The opponent... I took a look, but I didn't find it, and it turned out to be Harvey!"

Harvey was one of the second generation Yang Yan fought alongside in Salo City, so he was a little surprised.

"That's good. Facing a familiar opponent, the probability of winning will be greater." Yang Yan smiled slightly: "Let me think about what Pokémon he used..."

Combining the Pokémon used by Harvey in the first two games, plus the Pokémon he remembered using on the boat, Yang Yan could basically confirm that the Pokémon in the guy's hands were all fighting types.

The fighting type happened to be restrained by the Crossed Bat, which had the flying type, so in the next battle, he still needed to rely on the Crossed Bat.

Later, he watched the videos of Harvey's first two games, and after confirming that he was under control, he turned around and went about other things.

Now after two rounds, there are only 4388 players left out of the original 1097 players.

It can be said that most of the people with average strength have been eliminated, and the next battles will be difficult one by one.

For example, it is almost impossible to encounter an opponent who does not have high-level Pokémon for three consecutive games.

The competition is so cruel. In just two rounds, so many players failed, and there will be more and more after that.

Based on the number of people, there will be 549 battles tomorrow. If we still count it based on 30 venues, each venue will have less than 20 games, which means it will be over in less than half a day.

This is obviously unreasonable.

Therefore, starting from the next game, the venue will be cut in half to extend the time.

The advantage of this is that the audience and commentators can better focus on a certain game.

Coupled with the fact that the remaining players are more evenly matched, the excitement and excitement of the game will definitely increase further. Therefore, the game becomes more and more exciting as you go to the back.

What followed was another night of joy and sorrow.

Early the next morning, Yang Yan, who had just gone out to join everyone, was surprised to find that most of the others were yawning and looked like they had not slept well.

"What's wrong with you guys? Do you need to work so hard to study your opponent?"

He was a little puzzled, but he could only watch two of his opponent's games. No matter how much he studied, he could formulate the Pokémon and tactics to be used tomorrow in at most one or two hours.

"We are not you. This battle is likely to be the last battle of our Kalos Alliance. How can we not do more hard work?"

Although Jiumei was talking about herself, her tone contained a hint of envy for Yang Yan.

Yes, who doesn’t want to own powerful Pokémon, and who doesn’t want to go further in the Kalos League?

Innate deficiencies can only be made up for by acquired hard work.
