Pokemon: Pick up Eevee at the start

The battle for the top spot in Group C came to an end. Xia Chen defeated Nazhi with a difficult score of 3:1 and temporarily ranked first.

With the hard work of Senbu, Zoroark, and Doronbaruto, the qualifying situation of Xia Chen's death group gradually became clear.

If nothing else goes wrong, Xia Chen and Na Zi will break out of the group ranked first and second.

Xia Chen is not afraid of setting a flag that says, "If nothing happens, something will happen."

The two most difficult games to win have been conquered, and coupled with the baptism and evolution with Nazhi, he has been able to face Nazhi completely calmly in the last game.

But as an excellent trainer, Xia Chen not only has to strategize on the battlefield, but also summarizes the problems after the game.

The biggest problem in this game is that I am a little too dependent on Super Senbu.

Looking back at the game after the game, without Senbu, not a single elf in Xia Chen's lineup could stand up to the Super Eluredo.

Therefore, Luton is still excluded.

Of course, from another perspective, the reason why the trump card is the trump card is that it can do things that other elves cannot do.

It cannot be said that Zoroark and Dragon Baruto are weak. Without super evolution, Senbu may not be anywhere near as strong.

But no matter what, it is better to have more flowers than to have only one.

And how to bloom more is definitely not a problem that can be solved by just talking and thinking.

Xia Chen felt that after this competition, he might need to start practicing with the elves again and find answers in the wider world.

This matter is left undisclosed for the time being.

On March 20, the fourth round of the group stage started.

Xia Chen did not have a game today, nor did he go to see the game. Instead, he and the elves played in Quanguan City and the surrounding wilderness.

Therefore, Luton was in a strange state after arriving in Quanguan City. When Xia Chen asked, it didn't want to say anything.

Today, when he rode it to Shuizhou Town to watch the sea and taste the local specialties, he asked that question again.

"You seem to be acting strange these days."

Gu Leden hesitated for a while, and suddenly said mysteriously: "There is a very terrifying atmosphere underground in that city!"

Xia Chen was shocked. Those who could be rated as terrifying by Gu Leton must at least be those guys who are also first-level gods.

Unfortunately, he didn't know about the legendary elves in Galar.

So I am also confused about this.

Xia Chen asked anxiously: "Is that terrifying aura an elf?"

The most frightening thing is the unknown. Although there is Guluton, self-protection is definitely no problem, but Xia Chen is still a little nervous.

Therefore, Lutton was not sure, "It's hard to say, it's a bit like the energy fluctuations of hyper-crystallization or super-evolution, but it may also be a legendary elf that has not yet awakened."

Xia Chen nodded thoughtfully, "Oh, that's right."

…………

Although the so-called "terror" is still unclear, we finally got some clues.

Xia Chen decided to consult the famous mythologist Sirona and ask her about the legends of the Galar region.

Sirona was indeed a professional and immediately told Xia Chen the legend that had been circulating in the Galar region for two to three thousand years.

Legend has it that three thousand years ago, a huge elf fell from the sky along with a meteorite, bringing endless night.

A more technical term is, dark night.

Since then, whenever the red moon rises, many elves will fall into a state of rage and become extremely huge.

This caused great harm to the peaceful lives of the people and elves of Galar at that time. To put it more seriously, it almost destroyed the Galar region!

The Galarians need heroes!

At this moment, two elf heroes carrying legendary swords and legendary shields appeared.

They were extremely brave, driving away the [Dark Night], sealing the giant elves and saving the Galar region.

Since then, they have been passed down as legends of Galar.

After listening to this story, Xia Chen was silent for a while.

There are many flaws and a lot of information.

First of all, giant elves appear along with meteorites.

Again, the presence of meteorites in the elf world is somewhat conspicuous.

Then, Red Moon, Fury. Is this linked to Zelda Fantasy next door?

The fact that many ordinary elves have become extremely large seems to be an important clue.

As for the heroes who are said to have saved the Galar region in the end, if there is no surprise, they are the "cover gods" of Galar.

That giant spirit that was sealed is the third god of Galar who has not yet awakened!

The myths and legends of the elven world are generally credible, and the inferences are logical.

Then Xia Chen also has reason to suspect that the phenomenon of making ordinary elves grow huge under the radiation of the "Dark Night Red Moon" is the special phenomenon of the Galar region and super evolution, super crystallization, and Z moves.

Only after the Third God was sealed, this phenomenon disappeared and fell into a deep sleep together.

After informing Sirona of this speculation, there was silence on the other end of the phone.

After a while, Sirona said in a rare serious tone: "Even if you have speculation, don't act rashly. If the legend is true, then that elf is extremely dangerous, and it will also make ordinary elves go berserk. Maybe it will A devastating blow to the Galar region."

Then, the tough tone turned soft, "Super evolution and crystallization are enough for the current elf world to digest for a long time. You have done enough for this world, don't take any more risks, okay?"

Xia Chen was helpless, "Don't worry, I know the serious consequences of the matter, and am I the kind of person who likes taking risks?"

Sirona was speechless at this guy who had no self-awareness, and asked directly: "What do you think?"

Xia Chen said weakly: "You may not believe it, but the legendary elves come to our door every time."

Yveltal, Guluton, Groudon Kyogre. Although he had a close meeting with the legendary elves from these regions, Xia Chen said that they really came here on their own initiative!

Sirona did not refute, but said: "Then you can't leave voluntarily and stay away from Galar?"

Xia Chen complained and muttered: "It's as if things wouldn't happen if I wasn't around. Don't you know that the existence of things cannot be changed by human subjective will?"

Sirona, a mythology scholar, had no words to refute for a while, so she could only say bluntly: "Just tell me whether you can leave or not?"

Xia Chen smiled quietly, feeling that the tough-tongued Sirona was inexplicably cute.

But he also knew that he was worried about himself, so he immediately agreed: "Okay, okay, I'll leave after the game and never come to Galar again."

…………

After hanging up the phone, Xia Chen looked at Gu Ledun beside him.

The big red lizard, who had listened to the whole conversation, said nothing. He just said: "Listen to you, I have no interest in getting involved in this kind of thing."

Xianbu also blinked at Xia Chen with his big eyes, looking like he was hesitant to speak.

Xia Chen said with a smile: "If you have anything to say, just say it."

Xianbu said something very incomprehensible, "Buey——(It's nothing, I just think Sister Sirona is right.)"

Xia Chen scratched his head and wondered, "She said so much, which sentence?"

Xianbu didn't reply. Xia Chen didn't know why, so he had to give up.

After making the decision, Xia Chen felt much calmer.

After blowing the cool and biting sea breeze in March for a while, and feeding the seabirds with the fish and chips that he had not finished eating at noon, Xia Chen returned to Quanguan City on Menas.

March 22, the fifth round of the group stage.

On odd-numbered game days, Xia Chen will play the first game in the afternoon as usual.

This round's opponent is the leader of the Yinyu Gym in the Fengyuan area, Mikri's fiancée, and a trainer who specializes in flying, Naqi.

In the previous two games, Naqi lost both games, elimination was a foregone conclusion, and she probably had little fighting spirit in the last game.

Xia Chen has already locked in the qualifying spot in advance, it's just a question of first or second.

Even the second one is a small probability event——

For example, if Xia Chen lost to Naqi 0:3, and Nazhi defeated Lulina 3:0, this extreme situation would allow Nazhi to surpass Xia Chen with a point difference advantage and become the first in the group.

However, this game reduced the possibility to zero and completely locked Xia Chen's top spot in the group.

After a fierce battle for nearly half an hour, Xia Chen defeated Naqi's King Yan, Kuailong, and her ace elf Super Qixi Bluebird 3:1 with the lineup of Menas, Gardevoir, and Saifuhao.

Since then, they have won all three matches and advanced to the knockout stage with their heads held high.

And his opponent in the knockout stage was also determined after the last day of the group stage.

The second place in Group D is the Yanmo Gym Leader from the Johto area, a direct descendant of the Yulong family, and Dodo's cousin Xiao Chun.

Speaking of which, the competitiveness of the Kanto Johto region is really terrifying.

Among the four players, Ryubo Sakaki ranked first in the group, and Nazi and Kotsubaki also firmly occupied the second place in the group. They can be called the strongest division in this competition.

Donghuang's side is quite satisfactory. Except for Xia Chen and Long Ye, who both qualified first in the group, the other two are in a critical situation. One has been confirmed to be eliminated, and the other is on the verge of elimination.

The performance of other regions is not much different, with about two qualifying places.

At this point, the twelve-day group stage of the World Gym Master Competition has come to an end.

…………

On March 27, the first day of the top 16, there will be four games in the first half of the competition.

The match between Xia Chen and Xiao Chun is the second one in the morning.

Different from the six-to-three format in the group stage, after entering the knockout rounds, the format of all games will be unified into a 6v6 all-out battle.

The two newly discovered mechanisms this year, Super Evolution and Grand Crystalization, can be used once each in a game according to the new rules.

The first match in the morning was quite heavyweight, with Sakaki, the leader of Group A who was still hiding behind the scenes at this stage, facing off against Denji, the leader of the Binhai Gym from the Sinnoh region, who was second in Group B.

It was another match between a ground-type specialist trainer and an electric-type specialist trainer. Even though Denji was known as the strongest gym leader in Sinnoh, he was still unable to defeat Earth's Sakaki and lost with a score of 3:6. Come down.

Half an hour later, the second match of the top 16 match between Xia Chen and Xiao Chun was about to begin.

Although it was the first time he met this direct descendant of the Yulong family, Xia Chen was still somewhat kind to her.

He is very close to the Donghuang lineage of the Yulong family. Doronbaruto in the team is also from Longdao, and he also has a relationship with Xiaochun's cousin Yulongdu.

Rounding things off, Xia Chen and Xiao Chun can be considered acquaintances.

Like her cousin, Xiao Chun also likes to wear a handsome cloak. Coupled with her refreshing and neat outfit and high blue ponytail, she looks heroic and has the same temperament as Yulongdu.

Because the battlefield was very large, the two could not speak before the battle, but Xia Chen could taste the sympathy in Xiao Chun's eyes when they looked at each other from a distance.

Maybe it’s because they are all closely related to dragon elves and Dragon Island.

Compared to the Dodo, known as the King of Flying Elements, Xiao Chun's Dragon Element bloodline is much purer.

There are three dragon-type quasi-gods in the main lineup alone, Kuailong, Tyrannosaurus, and Biting Land Shark. The remaining three are [Dragon Shame] Red Faced Dragon, [Dragon Traitor] Tanabata Blue Bird, and the iconic Thorny Dragon King. .

Of course, this is the regular lineup. Whether the lineup will change during the game is another matter.

The players from both sides stood on both sides of the battlefield, and as the referee blew his whistle, the battle officially began.

Xiaochun threw off his cloak handsomely and threw the elf ball gracefully. The white light flashed and the first elf landed on the ground.

Astonishingly, it was an earth dragon with physical characteristics that combined the characteristics of a dragon and a shark, biting a land shark fiercely!

On the other side, Xia Chen's starting elf also appeared at the same time, with a tall figure floating in the air and a white dress fluttering in the wind. It was Gardevoir.

A fairly conventional starting layout.

On one side is the biting land shark who can beat anyone 50-50, and on the other side is the dragon-type natural enemy Gardevoir.

In terms of attributes, Xia Chen has a slight advantage, but it's hard to say in a fight.

After all, Xiaochun is a trainer with enough strength to serve as the Four Heavenly Kings.

When the starting elves of both sides appear, the game officially begins.

…………

"Bite the land shark fiercely, quicksand hell!"

"Gardevoir, the power of the moon!"

The instructions issued by the two trainers at the beginning demonstrated their completely different battle ideas for this game.

Xiao Chun, who knew that his attributes were weak, wanted to change the venue to fish in troubled waters, but Xia Chen relied on Gardevoir's advantage in the fairy attributes to decisively attack.

As soon as the order was given, suddenly, sand and dust flew everywhere, strong winds blew, and large swaths of flowing yellow sand emerged from the ground with a slight roar. The entire battlefield instantly turned into a dangerous sand burial hell!

Fortunately, Gardevoir was floating in the air three or four meters above the ground, otherwise it would definitely be caught in the quicksand.

At the same time, the light purple glow emitting from the sharp corners of Gardevoir's chest suddenly burst out, condensing into a clear beam of light that was as soft as moonlight, but contained a terrifying aura, and shot out.

"Bite the land shark fiercely and dig a hole!"

Xiaochun is very greedy. When the quicksand hell is formed and the power of the moon has not yet been released, he wants the biting land shark to dig a hole to escape.

But greed has the foundation of greed.

The ground transformed by the quicksand hell was soft and loose. Liebite Land Shark just twisted his feet and his whole body began to sink at an extremely fast speed.

Looking at the familiar situation, it is obvious that this tactic of pretending to be cool and running away is not the first time it has been implemented.

But no matter how fast it burrows into the ground, how can it exceed the speed of light?

Before Liebite Land Shark's spindle-shaped shark head sank into the ground, a lavender energy beam fell from the sky and slammed into Liebite Land Shark's head.
