He knows Pokémon better than me.

Chapter 3449: Ranking of heads and grouping into the top !

"It's pretty powerful~"

Although Snorlax was defeated, Ash was still quite satisfied with the power of this exclusive Z-move.

After all, it's 1/4 resistance, plus the iron wall defense, there's nothing you can do if you can't hit it.
But if it was his own Snorlax who performed the operation, there might still be a chance to break through the steel defense of Lei Shi!
But these are not the main point now.
The preliminaries are officially over!
"It's finally over. Has it only been three hours? It feels like three days have passed~"

"Mugu~"

Xiaozhi stretched and sighed.

And Rowlet, who had fought a series of battles before, squinted his eyes tiredly and flew to the top of Xiaozhi's head to take a nap.

"Pica~!"

The battle was over, and Pikachu jumped out of Hapuu's arms and back onto Ash's shoulder.

Looking up at the electronic screen above, the portraits of sixteen players have been arranged in order, which is the list of players who have officially entered the main competition.

As for people like Mamane who were eliminated early, their results have already been fixed at the honor of "Top 151 of the Alola League Conference".

"Hmm~ Looks like everyone has gone in~"

Xiaozhi looked around and it seemed that Mamane was the only one in the class who failed and was eliminated early.

There are sixteen people entering the finals on the screen. The eight people above are Royal Masked Man, Satoshi, Ilima, Gladion, Dals, Musashi, Kachi, and Suiren.

The next eight people are Guzma, Mareen, Hau, Kahiri, Lilia, Mao, Aserola, and Man Yue.

"Just a reminder, this list is not randomly arranged, but is arranged according to the number of people eliminated from the sixteen contestants in the preliminaries."

The island king, Hara, explained in a loud voice.

For example, the Royal Masked Man at the head of the previous column eliminated the most people. Most of them were sniper players hired by the black-hearted real estate tycoon Brugen. The Blazing Roaring Tiger can basically eliminate a group of people with one move.

Then there's Xiaozhi.
Although Mumuxiao is inconspicuous, his flexible body, impressive attack power, and the "sewing shadow" feather arrow he learned from the sniper tree owl have helped him kill many players.

The result of head count was impressive and he was directly ranked second.

Next came Ilima, who eliminated a large number of Skeleton Team soldiers, and Gladion and the Silver Companion Beast, who showed their might.
At the end of the list are Acerola and Mangetsu.

The former only eliminated Mamane, while the latter only fired a cold arrow at the beginning.

"Hmm? Guzma is actually ranked at the bottom?"

Burmei was a little surprised. Logically, Guzma should have killed from the beginning to the end, right?
But today he seemed to be controlling his temper and not causing any random destruction.

"It seems that he is very serious about this competition."

Burmei was secretly worried about Guzma.

He took a look at the sixteen people who entered the main competition. Except for the students from the Pokémon school, most of them were not good people.

Even for a powerful Guzma, if he’s unlucky, he might be eliminated in the round of 16?

Mr. Hara hadn't finished speaking yet, so he grabbed the microphone and continued to introduce:
"The next round of 16 will be played in a knockout format, but the players will not be matched randomly, but according to the order of their positions, with the players in the upper row facing the players in the upper and lower rows."

Among the contestants, Kukui put his hands on his hips and nodded secretly.

This is actually his idea.

After the league conference enters the main competition, the order of the matches is completely random, which means that it is entirely possible that in the top 64 or top 32, a battle between the champion and the runner-up will occur.
He didn't want to collide with Xiaozhi at the beginning, that would be meaningless. Like Xiaozhi, Kukui also hoped to fight with the former in the final stage.

Although the number of kills is not completely related to strength, there is some connection.
Therefore, the upper and lower rows of the list on the electronic screen were not swapped, but just randomly swapped left and right, and finally the order was fixed!
"It's out, the list of the top 16 players!!"

The atmosphere in the venue was instantly ignited, and the sound of heated discussions was everywhere.

And the first match of the top 1.
Xiaozhi vs. Ilima!
Xiaozhi was a little surprised and couldn't help but look at the dark-skinned outstanding graduate and greeted him with his eyes.

".?!"

Ilima's eyes widened and his expression froze.

Is this the fate he has to endure after eliminating so many of the Skeleton Team's miscellaneous soldiers? !

Others might not know, but as someone who has attended the league conference, how could he not know?
The two most dangerous people in the entire Alola League are the Royal Masked Man and Satoshi!
"Eevee, our opponent is Mr. Satoshi, so we can only go for it head on."

In the end, Ilima could only comfort his Ibrahimovic with a wry smile, but it seemed more like he was comforting himself.

Then the second match of the round of 2 - Sui Lian vs. Guzma!
"."

This time it was Shui Lian's turn to have a stiff expression.

My first match will be against the leader of the Skeleton Team. He doesn't look like someone who is easy to deal with. I don't think he will take revenge on me after the game, right?
Guzma also turned his head to glance at Shui Lian, not taking her seriously at all:

"Huh, a little girl? What a boring game."

Good sister Mao was just about to comfort Shui Lian, but it was her turn in the third game -

Game 3, Gladion vs. Maou!

Mao: “.!?”

She clenched her fists, she didn't want to fight against Liliae's brother!
Judging from the sharp claws of that silver war beast, it felt like her sweet, cold and beautiful queen was in great danger!

Gladion couldn't help but frown when he found out it was Mao, his sister's classmate. Should he be gentler in that case?
Game 4, Ultimate Investigation Team Dals vs. Mangetsu.

Dals was a little surprised. Was his opponent that cold girl?

You have to know that the reason why the people in their ultimate world can travel between the two worlds so easily is because of the power of the small nebula after Lunala's rebirth.

The current nominal owner of this small nebula is the full moon.

"Is the opponent an Ultra Beast?"

The full moon frowned, and the durability of the iron wall of Lei Shi
If she had a choice, she really didn't want to fight this ultimate beast.

Moreover, the other party is a member of the Ultimate Investigation Team, and perhaps there is more than one Ultimate Beast on him.

However, she had already been slacking off throughout the preliminaries, so Man Yue still planned to take the finals seriously.

"If you meet Xiaozhi or Professor Kukui, just give up. If you meet others, just kill them."

This is the small goal I set for myself on Man Yue!

It wasn't until the end of the top 16 match schedule that Kukui's match came.

Game 8, Royal Masked Man vs. Liliae!
"?!"

Lilia's hair was all frizzy!
