Pokémon Showdown: Silver Peak

After four rounds of fierce battles in the preliminaries of the Quartz Conference, the top 16 spots were finally decided. The battle in the fifth round was even more exciting. Xiaozhi and his friend Hiro are both among them. What is exciting is that there are many old friends of Xiaozhi hidden among the top sixteen.

In front of the gate of the competition organizing committee's draw venue, the Rockets attempted to deceive all the top 16 players under false pretenses. However, their plans pale in comparison to Xiaozhi.

Xiaozhi calmly hid in the corner, plotting with Hiro. "Hiro, you are responsible for retrieving the Poke Ball, and I will deal with those three guys. How about we rescue the other players together?"

Hiro nodded firmly: "Okay, I will never let Team Rocket's conspiracy succeed!"

Musashi and Kojiro pretended to be staff and stood on the high platform to start deceiving. "Dear contestants, we are now going to conduct a health check on the Pokémon. Please hand over the Poké Balls in your hands."

Xiaozhi was disdainful in his heart: "This excuse is too lame." He was keenly aware that the method of collecting Poké Balls was too crude, "To actually use sacks to collect them is too low-grade."

However, most of the contestants are young trainers who are unsophisticated and gullible. When he heard that he would be disqualified if he didn't take the check, he handed over the Poké Ball without hesitation.

However, when it was Hiro's turn, he coldly ordered: "Ren, use one hundred thousand volts!"

"Pika~chu!" A delicate cry rang out, and Pikachu's hundred thousand volts hit Kojiro, knocking the sack in his hand directly, and Hiro took the sack away.

"Hey! You two, tell me your identities!" Xiaozhi suddenly appeared from the side and shouted loudly.

The bodies of the two members of Team Rocket trembled, as if the memory deep in their DNA was touched, and they could not suppress their inner excitement.

"Since you asked sincerely, I will tell you with great mercy! In order to prevent the world from being destroyed, in order to protect the peace of the world... we are the Rockets traveling through the galaxy. Musashi, Kojiro is here! White hole, white Tomorrow is waiting for us! Meow~" The two took off their disguises and appeared in front of everyone. After a passionate opening speech, Musashi and Kojiro showed their true identities.

"Uh... we were actually found out. But it doesn't matter. We still have a great chance if you don't have your Poké Ball." Musashi said still arrogantly.

"That's right, that's right, I'm going to snatch your Pikachu too!" Kojiro stared at Hiro closely.

"Gardevoir, use mental strength!" Xiaozhi ordered.

The Rockets trio were just about to show off their strength when they suddenly felt stiff. Xiaozhi and Gardevoir used their mental power to instantly get past them and appear behind the three of them. Ash's blue eyes made Team Rocket feel even more stressed.

"Goodbye." Xiaozhi narrowed his eyes and waved his hand. Gardevoir waved his hands, as if announcing that Team Rocket's defeat was certain.

The trio of Team Rocket were like meteors streaking across the sky, quickly and swiftly disappearing from everyone's sight.

"What a disgusting drama," a voice whispered. Xiaozhi and Hiro high-fived each other. Hiro said appreciatively: "Xiao Zhi, you did a good job." Xiao Zhi responded: "You too, Hiro."

After everyone put the sacks on the ground again, Xiaozhi waved his hand for everyone to receive the elf balls: "Please take back your elf balls, and be more careful next time." Everyone thanked them and took back their elf balls one by one.

Hiro sincerely praised: "Xiao Zhi, your insight is really admirable. You have seen through Team Rocket's disguises one by one." Xiao Zhi said slightly relaxedly: "Oh, it's not that magical actually. I I just happened to have seen this scene..." Hong was a little confused after hearing this: "Have you seen this scene?" Xiaozhi smiled and didn't want to say more, and just said: "Let's finish these Poke Balls and go back to rest. Yeah." Hong nodded in agreement.

After Xiaozhi and Hong finished distributing the Poké Balls, Xiaoxia and Xiaogang arrived late with Miss Junsha. Xiaogang asked with concern: "Xiaozhi, are you okay?" Xiaozhi replied: "Don't worry, with Hiro's cooperation, Team Rocket has been driven away and everyone's Poke Balls have been recovered safely." Xiaoxia listened. Then he nodded reassuringly: "Great, everyone's Pokémon are fine." Xiaogang suggested: "Since everything is fine, let's go back and rest." After Xiaozhi shook hands with Hiro and said goodbye, he returned to the dormitory with Xiaoxia and Xiaogang. .

Xiaogang said with emotion: "It feels like your relationship with A Hong is getting better and better. If I had known that A Hong was also a player, you would have had the opportunity to fight side by side."

Xiaozhi returned to the dormitory, poured himself a glass of water, and then carefully fed each Pokémon a bottle of nutrient solution. "Yeah, I understand." He said softly.

Xiaogang asked directly: "Then if you meet Hong, how will you deal with it?"

Xiaozhi smiled and replied: "Of course I have to go all out and try my best to defeat him."

Xiaoxia interjected curiously: "Aren't you friends? Why are you doing this?"

Xiaozhi spread his hands and explained: "It is precisely because we are good friends and good rivals to compete with each other. We respect him, so we must challenge him with all our strength."

"That makes sense." Nazi nodded thoughtfully.

The next day, Xiaozhi and the four of them arrived at the fifth round drawing venue early after lunch.

Hiro also completed the lottery and accompanied Xiaozhi on fishing with great interest.

There was a pool in front of the lottery counter, and Xiaozhi put the bait into it. Soon, he felt his arm sinking, pulled it up hard, and caught a Magikarp with an A on it.

"Your lottery number is A." The lady at the counter entered the number and information into the computer. "Your opponent for the next round has been determined."

A flash appeared on the screen, and photos of Xiaozhi and Hiro appeared at the same time, and everyone was surprised.

Xiaozhi turned his head, looked at Hiro, took the initiative to reach out his hand, and said: "Then, let us try our best to fight a fierce game without any regrets."

Hiro was stunned for a moment, then showed a smile of understanding and acceptance: "Okay, let's go all out and fight without any regrets!"

After a simple agreement, both parties left separately.

The game is about to begin the next day. In the evening, Xiaogang and Xiaoxia, as Xiaozhi's think tank, actively search for Hong's game records. After some research, Xiaogang gave an evaluation: "He has reached the fourth round, and his strength cannot be underestimated." Xiaoxia further analyzed the Pokémon used by Hong: "He used Pikachu, Bad Butterfly and Charmander, as long as you play normally, Xiaozhi, you should be able to win." However, Xiaozhi is open-minded: "We still have to play to know the outcome of the game."

The fifth round of the competition is about to begin. How will the battle between Xiaozhi and Hiro turn out? Who can show his strength without regrets in this game? Let us wait and see to witness this exciting showdown!
