Elf: I have a deal with the big milk jug

In addition to some strong opponents and friends he had already met, Yan Xiao also paid attention to several other trainers from the top 16 list.

First of all, there are two lucky players, Nobita and Hong Lian, who are not strong enough to be kings. The strength of the others has reached the king level.

Among them, Wang Shui is the trainer of the Sandstorm Team, which is the same as Ling Heng, but there are still some differences in the lineup.

Bai Xiao is a lover of humanoid Pokémon. He is always accompanied by a Gardevoir and a Lucario. In addition to these two, there are Jackrabbits, Elledor and a fantasy beast. Laola.

With Yan Xiao's eyesight, except for Alureduo, the others were all female individuals.

There's no guarantee that this person doesn't have any quirks...

In addition, Murray is a trainer who specializes in fighting type. His ace is a combo-style martial bear master, and his classification is legendary Pokémon.

This Pokémon is controlled by the famous champion of Galar, Mast, in Sword and Shield.

Ma Shide is a veteran battle master who has won the championship for 18 consecutive years in Galar, and is also Dan Emperor's teacher.

In terms of strength, I'm afraid he can compete with Dr. Ohki.

And this Murray should have some connection with Ma Shide, and he is also the strongest among the many qualifying players.

After waiting for a long time, Zhulan took the stage again and began to draw the results of the next top 16 battles.

The 16 trainers will be divided into upper and lower halves, and 8 people in each half will compete in three rounds to reach the finals.

"Then, please scroll the big screen!"

Zhulan raised her hand, and the 16 avatars on the big screen began to be quickly arranged and combined.

"Countdown, 3...2...1...stop!"

"Den-"

The picture freezes on the big screen, and the 16 avatars are matched.

Upper half:

Yan Xiao VS Shu Li, Nobita VS Ling Heng, Nimo VS Wang Shui, Sawaki VS Kahili

Lower half:

Dakdo VS Honglian, Murray VS Konoha, Xiaozhi VS Bai Xiao, Shinji VS Zifuchi Ergou

Seeing the grouping results, Yan Xiao couldn't help but frown.

Before the finals, the opponents in the upper and lower halves will not meet in advance.

And he and Dakdo happen to be in two halves, which may not be fair to other players...

And visually inspecting the current grouping situation, it seems that it feels like a replica of the animation.

In the anime, Xiaozhi became the top four after defeating Shinji, and then was defeated by Dakdo and regretfully retired.

"Huh... But that's okay... I'll save the big gift I've prepared for you for the last stage."

Yan Xiao looked at Dakdo in the far corner and muttered to himself.

"Teacher Yan, the next battle is ours, I hope you can go all out!" The short-haired girl Shu Li came over and said hello.

"Yeah, definitely!" Yan Xiao nodded.

Many other contestants also greeted each other friendly and seemed to be looking forward to the next showdown.

Then President Damalanqi announced the schedule.

In the next two days, four first-round matches will be held in the upper and lower halves to determine the top 4 teams.

Then there will be two days to determine the top four, two days to determine the finals, and then a day off for the final finals.

This arrangement is based on the fact that 6V6 full-team battles cannot be carried out continuously, so each trainer will have a day to adjust after finishing a game, which is more leisurely than the continuous transfer in the group stage.

Of course, if the injury is too serious, it will also have an impact on subsequent games, so Damalanqi also emphasized that in principle, heavy shots are not allowed in the game.

This sentence seemed to be addressed to Dakdo.

After all, the Pokémon he battled were all seriously injured and eliminated on the spot.

Dakdo sneered at this and left the venue on his own.

Before leaving, he glanced at Yan Xiao coldly, as if to say, remember to wash your neck in the finals.

Yan Xiao turned a blind eye and turned to chatting and joking with her good friends.

Ergou threatened to beat up Shinji, Konoha expressed that he was very interested in Murray, and Nimo was full of confidence. She came to Yan Xiao with her fists clenched and wanted to join the top four with him. Only Sawaki looked bitter. , he, a grass type specialist, faced off against Kahili, a flying type expert...

It's really a bit difficult to do.

A group of friends chatted together for a while, and Yan Xiao also said goodbye and left.

I took Xiao Qian back to the contestant village and checked out a bunch of information about Shu Li.

As Dawu's apprentice, Shuli's lineup is a combination of pure steel types. As the most advantageous attribute among the eighteen types, any one in her hand has the ability to take the lead in single action.

In the preliminaries, she revealed two steel armored crows and nut dumbbells. In the group stage, she successively sent out the giant claw mantis, the giant metal monster and the giant blacksmith. They are all types that can carry and fight, and they are nicknamed by the audience as 'Big Three'.

In addition, Shuli is also one of the few players who can both super evolve and dynamize.

And based on her experience of going to Padya for further study, she may also have the ability to become a crystallizer.

"He seems to be a very interesting guy..."

Yan Xiao couldn't help but secretly look forward to it.

...

The next day, when the sun shone on the Lily of the Valley Arena again, the hearts of all the spectators and contestants became restless.

Today, 4 duels in the top half will be completed here, and 4 places in the quarterfinals will also be announced.

Yan Xiao, who was playing in the first game, was holding Xiao Qian's hand and eating breakfast sweetly.

Beside him, Ibrahimovic and Talebagos were also feasting.

"Bu Yi~" After finishing his share of breakfast, the little fox jumped onto Yan Xiao's lap and nestled down obediently.

"You are already so old, but you still like to act like a baby?" Yan Xiao rubbed Ibrahimovic's trembling ears, squinting and scratching his chin.

"I feel like Ibrahimovic has been particularly attached to you recently. It's so cute~" Xiao Qian also sighed with emotion.

Yan Xiao smiled and said nothing.

As the only partner who has established a partnership with him, Ibrahimovic has an extremely special status here.

It's not as timeless and profound as the Jackrabbit, but it's definitely unique.

"Contestants please enter...the first duel is about to begin..."

The voice of the host on the radio echoed in the venue, and the emotions of all the audience began to accumulate.

"Teacher Yan, come on!"

The nearby audience cheered for Yan Xiao, and he responded one by one with a smile and a wave.

After kissing Xiaoqian's forehead, Yan Xiao also recalled Erbao and stepped into the contestant tunnel.

Starting from the top 16, pre-match and post-match interviews have been added before and after each game. The pre-match interviews will be recorded one day in advance and played before the game; while the post-match interviews will be broadcast live.

Somewhat similar to e-sports competitions in previous lives.

Yan Xiao stood at the entrance of the players' tunnel, waiting for the order to appear.

At this time, the interview between him and Shu Li was also played on the big screen.

"Hello, Shuli player, Teacher Yan is the biggest favorite to win this time. Are you confident in facing him?"

"You can win, but it will be difficult." Shu Li replied seriously.

"Then have you made any tactical preparations in advance?"

"Of course, but anyone who pays attention to Teacher Yan knows that tactics don't seem to be effective on him, so I only brought my absolute strength."

Shu Li's eyes were blazing, steady and filled with strong confidence.

The big screen screen switched and Yan Xiao's image appeared.

The same question was thrown to him: "Hello, Teacher Yan, everyone predicts that you will win the championship of this conference without any pressure. What do you think of this?"

"Well...I usually watch it on my mobile phone~"

"Uh hehe... I didn't expect Teacher Yan to be quite humorous... Then the next opponent from 16 to 8 is a Shu Li contestant. Do you have anything to say to her?"

"This... let's wait until the interview after the game~"

Yan Xiao spread his hands and didn't care at all about the constipated expression of the interviewing girl.

The barrage was flying in the live broadcast room, and the water friends laughed one after another:

"xswl, Mr. Yan was given the nickname 'Interviewing Ghosts to See Sorrow'!"

"Interviewing Miss: Teacher Yan, I didn't expect you to be so annoying!"

"Director, I know you are watching, remember to ask this young lady to interview Teacher Yan after the game~"

"..."
