I'm not a supporting character in Pokemon

The group stage is over.

Li Xiang ran to watch other people's games as fast as he could.

It just so happened that a recent battle came to an end, between Abigail and the captain of the Far North Leaf Fort. Although he is the new one, his strength is not as impressive as last year's.

Abigail fought very hard and almost overturned.

Fortunately, she finally won by stalling for time. Although it was quickly criticized by Leafs supporters as a despicable tactic, a victory is a victory and essentially nothing will change.

In addition, Susie also successfully became the new captain of the North American New City team. Last year, she failed to reach the quarterfinals even with the super evolution. This year, she successfully killed the new captain of the New City team.

So far.

Individual singles enter the finals.

Three players from the Wudu team among the eight advancers demonstrated its strong dominance and the fact that colleges and universities in other regions are "weakening".

Last year, too many strong captains graduated, from Xincheng Nathan and Tiandu Zhao Pan to the captains of the Herb and Cold Castle teams. It was as if an era had ended but their successors were unable to catch up for the time being.

The Fog City team seized this opportunity and rose smoothly. But what awaits other school teams may be a period of weakness that lasts for two or three years. It is not until new talents emerge that they can regain their former glory.

Or...when Lin Feng qualified for the global competition?

In addition to the three people in the quarterfinals, those who advance include the captain of the Magic City team, the captain of the North American Huadu team, the captain of the Angel City team, and finally the captain of the Far North Herborg team and the captain of the Western European Ironthorn team.

There are still the same few people and areas, and not much has changed.

The member of the Honolulu team who used the Z move last year fell in the top 32 and was beaten up by the captain of the North American Huadu team. Because the latter has already been prepared, the Z move can only be used once.

Pang Jing, the captain of the Tiandu team, was killed by the captain of Angel City. Her strength was not particularly outstanding, and she could not be compared with Zhao Pan.

The day of the semi-finals.

All the contestants returned to the central arena from the sub-arena, and started the final showdown under the gaze of 50,000 pairs of eyes.

The first of four battles.

Abigail faced off against the captain of the North American Watteau team. Even though the latter had lost to Susie before, that win was not an easy one. After both sides fought with all their strength, Susie was slightly better, and then won the victory.

In terms of combat ability alone, he is already a strong contender for the championship.

Naturally, he was unwilling to suffer from Susie once, so he tried his best to capture Abigail before her delaying tactics were completely completed.

When Abigail participated for the first time, she fell in the fifth round of the group stage, with a score equivalent to the top thirty-two. Being able to qualify from the group stage and reach the quarterfinals this year is undoubtedly a huge improvement.

Susie's grades last year were not as good as hers.

Lu Shu and Zhao Jie, as her close friends, gave her a very warm applause and hugged her after she died. Anya in the audience poked her head around, wanting to go down and share this moment with them.

However, as a spectator, she had no chance of entering the arena.

So I had to wave and shout, and have super long-distance eye contact and mental communication with Abigail below. After that, I pulled the eldest brother Song Shen next to me to have a telepathic look with my dear brother.

Unfortunately, I was rejected ruthlessly.

Li Xiang poked Song Jie in the ribs: "Sister Anya is so excited."

"If you keep talking, you won't be able to participate in the competition. I'm serious." The white-haired boy's eyes were calm, but his arms had begun to tremble.

He immediately and silently stayed away from this young man who might explode at any time.

As a healthy boy, Song Jie was very touched that his family could watch him play, but he was also so ashamed of their excessive behavior that he would kill someone at any time.

The superpower Ye Mu had already escaped with Bai Tian. He could see that the good senior who was usually calm and calm had turned into a balloon that was inflated to the extreme. However, another good senior came up and poked him twice - at the physical level.

very scary.

Fortunately it didn't explode.

"I will play the finals with you next time."

Abigail, who high-fived Li and sat down to rehydrate, said in an understatement that she had clearly set her sights on finishing second in the junior singles as her goal this year.

"good."

The former nodded.

The second session of the afternoon.

The two sides fighting against each other are the captain of the Magic City Kongwo Wen and the Far North Heborg team.

It's a pity that the latter faced a remnant of the previous "era" and was suppressed from the beginning to the end. There is no way, the strong man who could turn the super steel snake into a sandstorm into a weather attack has graduated.

And in this way, the top four have already decided on two.

…

The next day.

The third session of the morning.

It was the highly anticipated turn of Li Xiang to take the stage.

His opponent is the captain of Angel City who was once defeated by Susie, a powerful player with Super Kairos.

Similar to the captain of the Bell Tower team in the group stage, this captain was also very nervous. When he took the stage, his face was terrifyingly stiff, like a primary school student on his first day of elementary school.

It seemed like Li Xiang was bullying others.

Although what he does next is indeed more bullying.

"Beep!"

The whistle blows.

Game start.

Both sides sent out their own Pokémon.

The captain of Angel City chose Armored Bird as a starter. His play style is very close to the game. He relies on his super durability to scatter nails, find opportunities to plant poison, and blow away the opponent's Pokémon to force rotation to gain a chance of victory.

Normally speaking, his style of play is correct, routine and durable.

——The premise is that you must be able to bear it.

What this guy faced was the Pokémon that made its debut in this global tournament and was a powerful killer, Vulcan Moth.

The moment it appeared, the armored bird entered a countdown to fainting, even though the captain of Angel City was not aware of this and was still thinking about the Vulcan Moth's previous performance.

then.

Three, two, one—

zero.

"Dance of Fire."

The sun has come.

The world was plunged into high temperatures and distortion, and everything that could be seen began to become distorted. It was obviously winter, but people in and around the venue felt a hint of heat.

Just like the most vicious sun in the dog days of summer, the golden light shines so brightly that it makes people unable to open their eyes.

How powerful was the "sun" in the past?

Li Xiang can responsibly say that he doesn't even need to take action, just getting close to the opponent is enough to knock him down.

This is exactly what the armored bird feels right now. As the closest entity to the Vulcan Moth, the "sunlight" it experiences is even hotter, so hot that it almost burns.

No.

It's already burning!

The armored bird was horrified to find that its feathers were melting. How can it be! It's not like it's in a stove, let alone just "sunlight". Even if its feathers are directly burned by the high temperature of 2,000 degrees, it's impossible for them to melt in just a few breaths!

When it looked ahead again, the "sun" was already approaching it, and the temperature went even higher!

Fight back.

Must fight back.

The armored bird's subconscious mind caused it to attack the "sun" in front of it, and its body responded accordingly. The blue flame gradually covered its whole body, and the momentum of [Brave Bird Attack] continued to increase!

However, at the moment it rushed forward, it felt like a string was broken in its head, and its body sank. The blue flames on its surface dissipated in an instant, and it fell suddenly.

Poof.

The armored bird fell to the ground.

It was clearly not hit by any of Vulcan Moth's moves, and it completely fainted on the ground.

"Beep!"

The referee took off his heavy coat and blew the whistle.

On the field, the captain of Angel City fell into a daze.

Was the Armored Bird really not attacked by the Vulcan Moth? No, the damage was already born from the moment the latter used [Fire Dance], and continued to eliminate its physical strength until the last moment.

It's just that this heat is so terrifying that it even distorts reality, just like the fire shadow in the special chapter that allows the lava bugs to create illusions, causing the armored bird to have the illusion that nothing happened.

Actually.

It had been being licked by the scorching flames, and it almost didn't react when its wings showed signs of melting. However, it finally fell down instantly while trying to fight back.

As its trainer, the captain of Angel City also kept shouting reminders, but unfortunately it didn't work at all.

"Isn't this... beyond the scope of a student?"

He covered his forehead, feeling like he was going to have a heatstroke. The Vulcan Moth was so terrifying.

Obviously in last year's competition, it was "normal" to kill other Pokémon instantly with one move after another.

Why do you do this in the semi-finals?

Naturally, because of the kindness of Vulcan Moth, Absol is not interested in regular battles. It is not interested in Pokémon battles itself at all, so it just wants to kill its opponent as quickly as possible.

So what is the fastest speed?

Incarnate into [the sun].

The sun is inaccessible, the source of light and the untouchable "reality".

now.

It has become a "god" again.

The ensuing battle began to become very monotonous. In the eyes of the unaffected audience, every time the Angel City captain released a Pokémon, another Pokémon would stay. There were still Vulcan Moths approaching, and they were caught by the flames. Burned to the point of losing all strength.

To be honest, there is no passion at all.

The venue was extremely burning, but the audience didn't feel it at all.

"Isn't this really an act?"

"Are you kidding me? Is it necessary to act in a losing game? But I don't quite understand this situation."

"I don't understand. You can't look at those two Pokémon. Look at the people around you. If you don't see them, they are all starting to take off their clothes."

"What's the meaning?"

"It means the heat is very high, stupid! It affects people outside the field. Do you think it's powerful or not?"

"Whole grass? Isn't that very cool?"

"Normally the Vulcan Moth can't reach this point. Don't think about it and stop dreaming."

The smart audience found the surrounding details and learned that a very terrifying drama was taking place in the venue.

And the drama didn't last long.

In order to let the audience realize the exaggeration of this game, the competition team deliberately and thoughtfully closed the protective barrier after the end.

——The heat wave is coming!

"Damn! It's so hot! It's so hot!"

"Is this enough to cook instant noodles? Isn't the air burning?"

"I feel a bit like rushing home during the coldest time of the year, and by the way, I'm from the far north."

The power brought by the Vulcan Moth is very intuitive, and it also allows the audience to feel its power.

Everyone once again had a higher understanding of someone.

And the other side.

Vulcan Moth, who returned to the school team's camp together, received a very warm welcome.

They all praised it as a powerful Pokémon that could compete with Entei, and tried to have a friendly touch and communication with it. But unfortunately, the shy Vulcan Moth immediately hid behind Li Xiang.

It is not used to this feeling of being surrounded. Previously, even if there were more people in the Sun Cult, those people would just kneel and lie very far away, and would not get as close as before.

"You have to learn to get used to it. As the sun, you have to be more cheerful."

Li Xiang touched the vulcan moth's fluff.

People onlookers thought that the sun was the nickname of this Vulcan Moth, just like Brother Afu versus the Blazing Roaring Tiger.

Unfortunately, they all guessed wrong, even the Blazing Roaring Tiger's.

Ah Fu's nickname is "A Fu".

The hidden Vulcan Moth thought quietly, but did not have the courage to speak out and let everyone in the Fog City team correct him.

In the afternoon.

In the last game of the semi-finals, Susie beat the captain of the Western European Iron Thorns team. The latter was severely beaten by Li Xiang in the quarterfinals last year. This year, she plans to regain her place with Susie, who is a senior.

But it was clear that his plan was going to fail.

Susie, who lost in the group finals last year, is no longer what she used to be. The captain of the Iron Thorns is no match for her.

The game took a little longer, but the senior sister still won the game smoothly.

The top four are officially announced.

…

to be honest.

Li Xiang really wanted to have a match with Kong Wowen, but there is an arrangement in the world called a battle of old enemies. The officials of the youth competition like to do this kind of thing, so Su Qian ran into Kong Wowen again.

The previous match between the two was in singles in the autumn season, and Susie won slightly.

It is very curious whether she can continue her winning streak this time.

It should be possible.

Because Susie has an advantage in attributes, when everyone's Pokémon are of similar levels, even if the trainer arranges to restrain attributes, but her good attributes are suppressed, she can easily fall into a disadvantage.

Kuagamon, who is good at evil attributes, encountered such a problem.

Susie, the captain of Herborgs team, lost last year because her opponent was good at steel and ground attributes. Otherwise, she would have been in the top eight last year.

After the game starts.

Both sides fought very carefully, but as time went on and the Pokémon's physical burden became heavier, the two gradually couldn't hold it back any longer and began to fight passionately.

But how could Super Absol defeat Super Gardevoir? There are certain differences in the characteristics of both sides.

Even if the cat uncle beside Li Xiang frantically cheers his opponent on, it can't cover up the fact that Kong Wowen is gradually unable to defeat Su Qian. Seeing this, the latter becomes even more energetic and no longer hides his violent temper.

He even used Mariluli to perform a [Mist Explosion], performing a nuclear explosion show on the spot that was equivalent to Semi's.

Kong Wo Wen was completely unable to resist, and in the end he could only grit his teeth in fear and defeat.

"Win! Advance!"

Susie, who finished second, was extremely excited, as if her experience as a high school trainer was half complete and she no longer maintained her previous solemnity.

After she came off the stage, she was so excited that she kissed all the female team members and teachers she was close to, and hugged those she didn't know very well.

None of the male team members, including Li Xiang, received this treatment.

But even if they did, they would feel very embarrassed, so they might as well applaud or even whistle for them.
