I'm not an elf supporting character

Chapter 728 The big tree in the sky begins to sprout

There is a bye in the third round of the doubles match.

After all, 84 teams.

then.

The situation of hoping that their own team will have a bye and that the Wudu team will have a bye has appeared again.

But the sky didn't come true, and the Wudu team's good luck was limited to the summer and autumn games. Normally, such a good thing as a bye would not be able to wait for the seeded teams.

Of course they don't need it.

The shadow of a famous tree, the normal team was half emptied just by seeing them, and the remaining half of their courage was also dissipated after being defeated by the perfect duo of Lu Shu and Zhao Jie.

The third round.

Li Xiang and Su Xi finally had a chance to play, but it was a pity that their opponents played timidly, resulting in only seven points or even less of their strength, and they won easily without even using their hole cards.

The opponent is obviously a very strong school in doubles, and even reached the quarterfinals last year.

It's a pity that he was defeated by Ruthless in the third round.

As a result, there were rumors that in addition to the monsters in the first grade and the monster combination in the fourth grade, there was a rumor that it was hot for a while.

Although there are many excellent trainers in the fourth grade, the two who have reached the top level are still worthy of this "reputation".It's just that Lu Shu and Zhao Jie don't like being called that.

"What a 'monster'! I like to give people nicknames!"

"Yes, yes!"

The two sisters kept complaining, but their eyes glanced at someone in front of them intentionally or unintentionally.

really.

"Two sisters, that's not what you said when I was given various nicknames."

Li Xiang turned his head and said in a strange tone.

There are only a few in the team who have a particularly good relationship, and besides Gong Xu and Song Jie among the boys, they are the only ones who can laugh at him unceremoniously.

"Really? Is there such a thing?"

"I don't remember, hahahahaha."

The two girls laughed to themselves, and the people around them either smiled in agreement or looked at them helplessly.

Those who are capable can always get more tolerance, not to mention that Lu Shu and Zhao Jie belong to the existence of provoking the leader. Their victory is absolutely necessary, and it is also the only uncertain factor in the road to the triple crown.

Two wins out of three in doubles, even if Li Xiang can play two in one, he can't make it to the end.

After all, Lu Shu's team does not have the final element of super evolution, which makes other people in the team feel uneasy... The dominance of the inheritors in the youth competition is too terrible, so that whether they have or not will lead to the overall strength and team momentum. produce changes.

The pressure was directly on Lu Shu and Zhao Jie.

But everyone is playing in the global competition for the first time, so even if the final result is not so good, no one will blame them too much. At most, they regret not getting the triple crown.

But Lu Shu and Zhao Jie are definitely demanding, so don't look at them laughing and laughing in their spare time, they are still very reliable and serious in serious competitions.

Fourth round.

Sixteen to eight, by this point there is no weak team to speak of, every representative team is the kind of thief strong.

Among the many schools, Western Europe and the extreme north have always been strong areas for doubles competitions. The duo cooperation is the best among other school teams, taking the top four positions all the year round, firmly blocking Zhuxia and North America.

This year too.

The Tiandu team met the Extreme North Hebao, and the Tianshen team met the Western European Ironthorn. These two teams, one in the semi-finals and one runner-up, tried to keep Zhuxia's two strong teams out of the semi-finals again.

As for the Wudu team, they bumped into the Angel City team - the team that previously had member Du Li wanting to sign. They were not strong in doubles, but they were better than the duo of Bai Xiang and Shen Qing.

With limited strength, there is no way. The fog itself does not pay special attention to doubles. After graduating from the last year, even the doubles of three teams could not be combined.

Lv Shu and Zhao Jie can't get away with their own talents and hard work. The cultivation of Wudu Da can only be counted as [-]% out of [-]%.

"Don't worry, don't worry, doubles is a team game, if you lose this time, you can win it next time!"

Susie comforted the two of them, and then began to warm up.

Second round.

Xu He chose her and Li Xiang to play. Although it will be a test of their ability to withstand pressure if the decisive game that will establish the victory is handed over to Lu Shu's team, if there is pressure even against the Angel City team, the champion will basically not have to think about it.

Such and such.

A group with extremely uneven strength came on stage, amidst the extremely enthusiastic cheers of the audience.

"Ah, it's like this again, staring at me so hard that goose bumps came out." Li Xiang, who was walking beside Su Qian, had a helpless face.

The senior sister smiled and said: "You are strong enough to stare at you, junior, you always speak like this Versailles, it will be annoying to people."

"Don't, I'll just talk casually, your lord has a lot."

He responded casually, and stood in the designated position, "I'm counting on you today too, senior."

"You're welcome~"

The voice fell and the whistle sounded.

Game start.

Both sides release their own Pokémon.

Today's tactical play is based on Susie as the main player and Li Xiang as the assistant. The latter concentrates on interfering with the enemy's Pokémon so that the former can safely output.

This kind of tactics is different from the previous double attackers, regular pure booster and half interference half booster. It is a test of the attacker's timing ability and damage, and it is stressful for Susie.

However, the senior sister took the initiative to ask, as a junior, does he have any other options besides agreeing?
It's a pity that the opponent didn't realize this tactic, and the two Pokémon kept a close eye on Li Xiang's Steel Armored Crow the whole time, allowing him to complete the interference tactic effortlessly.

Susie's Pokkisi defeated the opponent's two Pokémon very smoothly, especially the air blade in the middle, which made the possibility of counterattack zero.

It's just that after suffering a loss, the opponent still didn't learn the lesson for some reason, and continued to stare at Li Xiang's Pokémon attack, which confused him very much.

What do you think, that they will change their tactics halfway, and replace the main and auxiliary midway?
It is not impossible.

But no matter what the opponent thinks, his tactics will not change, and there is no need to be so considerate for the opponent.

In the end, with a total duration of about 23 minutes, Susie's Mimi Q took down its opponent with its shadow claws - a 12-meter-high Alola coconut tree, and the opponent's [Dragon Hammer] was hardened by the steel armored crow. I caught it.

Scared a lot of people.

Because the power of this move [Dragon Hammer] is quite exaggerated, the aftermath of the energy alone created a deep gully on the ground, making it easy for anyone to hide.

Presumably the other party intends to use this trick to take down the Steel Armored Crow in one fell swoop, right?
Unexpectedly, while Cuckoo Chicken is ridiculously hard, it is also particularly good at the recoverable skill of Feather Habitat, and has achieved the ability to be foolish for a long time.

When the opponent left the court, there was both unwillingness to fail and a sense of relief that the disaster was finally over.

Playing against Li Xiang was unlucky enough, and being tricked was to double the original basis.

The only thing to be happy about is that you won't be scolded if you lose... Is this really something to be happy about?
In short, most of the people who have played against Li Xiang have mixed feelings. Some people will look forward to the next match with him, and some people hope that they will never meet him in this life.

Dichotomy is very serious.

Under this atmosphere, the last team of the Angel City team was affected, and the mood became somewhat negative for some reason.

Lu Shu and Zhao Jie seized this point, launched a swift and fierce attack on their opponents, and finally killed them smoothly, allowing the Wudu team to advance to the quarterfinals of the doubles and move on to the next round.

"It's the quarterfinals. There are only three games left. After the finals, it's the individual competition."

Li Xiang muttered to himself.

Many people think that the individual competition will be more competitive than the team competition, because it can determine the world's strongest youth trainer, an honor that many people dream of.

This year, due to his existence, many people have already determined that the championship belongs to him, but is there anyone who dares to challenge?

There must be.

For Li Xiang, these people who dare to challenge are his Bai Yueguang in the global competition. After all, it is really not very interesting to compete with an opponent whose mentality is out of balance.

After the morning game.

In the afternoon, it was the turn of Tiandu and Shendao. The former was upset and defeated the veteran doubles powerhouse Heborg, cutting off the opponent's expectation of another double semi-final or even higher results.

However, the Celestial team fell in front of the Western European Ironthorns team, which disappointed many expecting spectators.The champion's alma mater is also in the top [-] in singles and doubles. It's uncomfortable to say this kind of result.

There's no way it's really bad luck. The singles met the drug-addicted Xincheng team early, and the doubles team met the champion alternate Ironthorns.

It is a law that the North American Zhuxia is strong in singles, and the Western European extreme north is strong in doubles. Last year and this year, the Hanbao team's team singles top four belonged to the Huadu team and the Angel City team in North America.

For the teams participating in the global competition, results are everything. If the Tianshen team wants to avenge their shame, they can only rely on their results in the individual competition.

If the top few occupy a few more, they will naturally be forgiven.

……

Doubles eight into four.

The Wudu team met an acquaintance, the Xincheng team, and the Tiandu team next door met the Iron Thorns team, which failed to win the doubles last year.

Fate like shit makes people don't know what to say.

And because they have been scolded so badly recently that the Xincheng team intends to regain face in the doubles. Anyway, Li Xiang's victory is only one game, and he can win the other two groups as well.

With this in mind, the eight-to-four semi-finals began.

Once on the field.

Li Xiang and Su Xi seemed to be able to feel a sense of war weariness. Although they were very restrained on the surface, the little elf's combat performance proved this point again.

It's not right to say that the opponent didn't try hard to fight the whole process, and it's not right to say that the opponent tried hard to fight.

Furthermore...to accept defeat too quickly?Not to mention other teams, it seems unusual for the Newtown team to accept defeat so easily.You must know that the opponent's stalking fighting style is notorious.

After much deliberation, the only possibility is to invest the chips in the other two games. If you can't win, I will send you off, and then take down your teammates?

Good guy, you've been underestimated!
The two were inexplicably angry, feeling that their teammates were underestimated, but the opponent's choice was normal, and they had no right to criticize them. They could only give the other two groups the buff of "exploding them" after they left the field.

of course.

The buff is only a psychological effect, and it can improve the combat effectiveness of Pokémon to a certain extent, but it is very limited, and it cannot turn a battle that had a gap at the beginning into victory.

The Baixiang group lost again.

The two hadn't won since the third round, and they semi-forcibly increased the appearance rate of Li Xiang's group. This result made the two blame themselves abnormally, and once again realized the limitations of their own strength.

Obviously older.

What's interesting is that their defeat not only didn't hurt Lu Shu and Zhao Jie, but made them even more excited.

Before going on the stage, Lu Shu and Li Xiang said that she likes the Pokemon of the Soldier very much.

Because when they are pushed to the extreme, not only will they not run away, but they will also take the initiative to give up their retreat and improve their abilities to fight bravely with their opponents.

People call it their exclusive move - [Last Stand].

At this moment.

Including the semi-finals and finals in the future, it will be her and Zhao Jie's [last battle]!
After finishing speaking, she walked up with Zhao Jie.

The unshakable unwavering pace of the two in the face of danger was far more shocking than the cheers on the field, and it also deeply attracted him.

He believes that even if this game fails to win, the doubles championship is only a matter of time for the Wudu team.

As a result, it was natural to win, and winning was so natural, even the Xincheng team, which tried to use the game to restore their reputation, was convinced.

If the annual highlights of the youth doubles competition could be submitted by individuals, Li Xiang would definitely vote for this competition.

At the same time, he also firmly believed that Lu Shu and Zhao Jie would continue to win and become the mainstays of the Wudu team's doubles, leaving indelible marks in the history of the school.

Helpless, some are happy and some are sad.

The bad news of the defeat came from the Tiandu team next door, and the Iron Thorn team successfully defeated them.

If there is no Wudu team, there will be no place for Zhu Xia in this year's doubles semi-finals.

thus.

The remaining four teams on the field are Zhuxia Wudu Team, Western Europe Ironthorn Team, Extreme North Hanbao Team and Western Europe Huadu Team.

Aurora's Yebao team fell in front of the Huadu team, otherwise they would have had the opportunity to meet Li Xiang.

It is a pity that the singles did not meet the doubles and did not meet.

This also led to the Wudu team's opponent becoming the Western European Huadu team, and the other side was the match between the last champion and runner-up.

However, the opponents in Western Europe and the extreme north have obviously changed in doubles intensity, which Li Xiang can easily feel.

I believe the same is true for Lu Shu and others.

When a school that doesn't pay much attention to the competition system meets a school that pays special attention to it, it can only be said that it is a miracle to win.

This semi-final is also the most difficult game they have played so far in the youth competition.

Thanks to Lu Shu and Zhao Jie's [Back to the Wall] effect is strong enough, it was only on the verge of extinction that Galar's deadly poison took down the opponent's Pokémon first.

The plot reversed so quickly that it was jaw-dropping and I didn't know what to say.

Everyone in the Wudu team was released at this moment.

this one.

It is known as one of the most exciting flips in the youth competition on the Internet, and it has also become the foundation for Lu Shu and Zhao Jie to become famous overseas.It also proves to the world that Zhuxia's doubles are also possible!

Zhu Xia was boiling for it.

finals.

It also came quietly.

The night before, in the dream world, Li Xiang finally saw the tender shoots emerging from the soil, and more than a week of careful care was rewarded.

When he was excited, he thought it was an auspicious omen, which represented the auspicious omen that if you pay, you will get something.

however.

The previous champions, the Coldcastle team.

They come from one of the coldest areas in the extreme north. The Wudu team once met in a team singles and successfully defeated them. Li Xiang also crushed their captain and commented on his wave with Song Jie. Scotola.

But the singles Hanbao and the doubles Hanbao belong to two schools completely.

Before the Wudu team appeared on the global stage, he had already dominated the doubles competition for a long time, including the previous captains who were all doubles players.

It's just that recently they wanted to enter singles, so they gave singles players a chance.

——Dimensionality reduction strike.

There is absolutely nothing wrong with calling it that.

Standing on the same court, the Coldcastle team gave people a different feeling. That kind of absolute self-confidence cannot be established overnight, and it depends on long-term victories.

Although in the end Li Xiang and Su Xi won with the Sword Sword Monster, Blazing Roaring Tiger and Mega Xanadu, it still didn't help the overall situation.

Lu Shu and Zhao Jie were defeated.

The defeat scene is not ugly, but it is enough to make people feel unsatisfied.

After all, they have all come this far, and the glorious scene is close in front of them, but they have not been able to take it down.

There's no reason to be able to swallow this breath.

It's not a question of whether the ability to withstand stress is poor, but the pain that comes from the heart when you find that someone else has taken the lead when the thing you are pursuing is close at hand.

If the top four or even the top eight lose, it is still acceptable.

lost in the final...

Compared to losing to a younger student like Li Xiang, it was a thousand times more painful, ten thousand times more painful.

When Lu Shu and Zhao Jie stepped down, they didn't say a word, no tears and no voice.

But extremely heavy.

Comforting words are useless, but can only make yourself more uncomfortable.

Since Li Xiang joined.

The Wudu team was hit hard for the first time.

The Triple Crown champions from the outside world were shouting hotly, as if they could get it at their fingertips, which made them subconsciously think that they could really get it. Anyway, there are juniors around, right?

All the contestants in the youth competition are afraid of juniors, juniors can bring good luck, we will never lose, and we will create a new legend.

But in fact.

The Triple Crown is just an illusory dream, it looks real, but it breaks when you get close.

Everyone in the Wudu team was once again deeply aware of the fact that the youth competition is not a solo show, but a team competition.

Crying has no effect and can only vent emotions. Everyone understands this truth, but when others comfort them with the words "You have tried your best, your grades are very good".

Tears are hard to stop.

Are they really trying their best?Only you know the answer.

that night.

Lu Shu and Zhao Jie, the inseparable friends, had a big fight, and the noise spread throughout the apartment.But when everyone went to find them, they found that both of them had disappeared without a trace.

It wasn't until Song Jie sent a message in the group that everyone knew the whereabouts of the two of them.

At that time, they lay on their backs on the deserted lawn, touching their heads, without wiping away the tears on their faces, and staring at the stars.

After a long time.

"In the coming year, I won't lose again."

"Ah."

The dialogue seems to be announced, as if speaking to the other party, but also as if speaking to yourself.

far away.

Li Xiang, who was hiding under the tree, looked at them silently, and suddenly felt in his heart that the auspicious omen brought by the sprouting of the tree fruit was not the so-called "if you pay, you will get something."

It's [Newborn].

They who were just seeds, finally have the qualifications to become the big trees in the sky.

The road has only just begun.

　ps: After struggling for a long time, I still write it like this. After all, Li Xiang has reached the end of the youth competition, and others have not
