He knows Pokémon better than me.

"Since there is already chaos, the next thing is... Will-O-Wisp!!"

Abin laughed and said, playing with ghost-attribute Pokémon requires this kind of shady behavior!

On the other side, Akroma pointed directly to the sky:
"Aluminum Steel Dragon, use Meteor Swarm!!"

Even in a state of confusion, the AOE meteor swarm throughout the field will not be affected.

However, the latter completely endured the burning effect of the will-o'-the-wisp. Anyway, it only reduced its physical attack and was better at special attack.

A deep purple energy bomb was sprayed into the sky by the Aluminum Steel Dragon.

Boom. Whoosh, whoosh, whoosh!
It rose to the highest point and then exploded, transforming into countless meteors and meteorites that fell from the sky, carpet bombing the entire place!

This is a baby cup, but something like this happened suddenly.
This scene made many new trainers look up into space with their mouths wide open, wondering if they could be a little more like a normal baby!

"Jieshi."

The continuously falling meteorites made Gastly exhausted from dodging. Even with its high speed, it was eventually hit by countless meteorites.

The special attack racial value of Iron Dragon is quite powerful even among the quasi-gods, and Gastly is an ultimate squishy hero who is even more squishy than Gengar.

Hit by a swarm of meteors, Gastly was smashed onto the ring floor along with the meteorites and lost his ability to fight instantly.

Looking at the devastated arena, Xiao Mao's mouth twitched, but he still pronounced:
"Uh Akromah contestant advances!"

He was already struggling over whether to add another restriction for the next term - babies, specifically those with a racial value below 400?
But that way, I always feel like there's something missing.

After the battle, Abin took back Gastly and walked towards Xiaozhi.

"Hey Xiaozhi, long time no see, I'm so embarrassed to let you see me right away~"

He greeted her and then scratched his buzz cut awkwardly.

"Long time no see~Abin."

Xiaozhi smiled. In fact, a competition like the Baby Cup cannot show the strength of a trainer.

Trainers like me who always carry a Pikachu that never evolves should be considered a minority, right?

It has been a long time since the Quartz Conference that year. The two chatted and reminisced about the past, feeling quite emotional.

"Later, I also participated in several league conferences outside of Beijing, but my results were not very good."

Abin sighed helplessly, he was the type who liked to play tricks and tactics, and it was easy for him to reach the semi-finals and even the finals.

But every time I get to the last step, I fail.

Xiaozhi nodded. The level of the tournament champion still places more emphasis on hard power.

"After that, I stopped traveling and stayed in Kanto to hone my skills. Fortunately, a landlady took me in."

However, before he could finish the rest of his words, Xiao Mao on the stage had already announced loudly that the second round of the Baby Cup had begun.

"Xiaozhi, just focus on the game. I will take care of what happens to Abin later~"

Xiaogang, who was also a contestant who failed in the first round, immediately put his arm around Abin's shoulder and pulled him to the back to chat.

The car accident seemed to be fate's arrangement. Anyway, tell me more about the landlady first!
Xiaozhi: "?"

Unaware of the situation, he turned his attention back to the competition.

"The first match of the second round will be between contestant Xiao Jian and contestant Liang Ping!"

Xiao Jian appeared at the beginning of the game. He was naturally in high spirits and confidently sent out his veteran Scyther.

On the other side, Xiaozhi, a boy with short green hair, also had an impression of the first round he sent out, a Qilinqi.

He was a little confused at the time. When did Qilinqi have an evolved form?
This is a Pokémon from the neighboring Johto region. He is very familiar with it, but has never heard of an evolved form.

"Uh, I've never heard of it either."

Even Ajin and Chris, two locals from the city, shook their heads in confusion.

However, when the Pokémon participating in the battle are registered, Xiao Mao will review them all and there will be no omissions.

"It really exists. It's a Pokémon called Qiqilin!"

On the side, Xiaoqu took out the illustrated book and looked it up, and suddenly exclaimed. Xiaozhi took a closer look and found that there was indeed an evolutionary chain.

The pronunciations of the two Pokémon are similar, one is Qilinqi and the other is Qiqilin. What a perfunctory name!

The evolved Qilin is taller, and the strange black substance that originally appeared on its lower body and tail has turned around and covered the area above its neck.

It looks like a doll with a black face on its head, which is quite strange.

"A new discovery in the Padia region?"

Xiaozhi nodded secretly. As expected, there were still many Pokémon in this world that he had never seen or even heard of.

In the ring, the battle begins.

“Illusionary ray!!”

Ryohei took the lead in attacking. Qilinqi opened his mouth and spit out countless circular beams of light, while the Scythe on the other side simply raised its sickle and chopped.

Boom! !
The illusion light was easily broken.

“I was completely restrained.”

The insect attribute restrains the psychic attribute, and Ryohei obviously realized this. He then tried to use the evil wave, or the close-range trampling move.

"Scyther, use continuous cut to block it!"

Xiao Jian was in a completely defensive posture, retreating and blocking at the same time, his Scythe flashing with gray-green light as he continued to defend.

Trainers who can enter the second round are basically not rookie trainers, and the Pokémon they use are most likely not "Pups".

There are some naughty things in them.

But with every collision of moves, the light on Scyther's blade became more dangerous, until after three rounds.

"One shot to decide the outcome, continuous cut!"

The flying mantis had sharp eyes and suddenly jumped out, slashing the sharp blade of the sickle across the slender neck of the Qilin.

Whoops!

With one blow of the knife, the giraffe was chopped off and flew across the field, falling heavily to the ground.

Outstanding effect!

Moreover, it is a continuous cut after three rounds of superposition, which is extremely powerful.

Qilinqi's head tilted and he couldn't even raise his head. Killed instantly with one move!

"Contestant Xiaojian, advance to the next round!"

Xiao Mao announced loudly that it seemed that Xiao Jian and Scyther had a good chance of winning the championship.

Seeing both sides taking back their Pokémon and leaving the stage, he quickly called out the next game.

The Baby Cup is only held for one day, so the schedule is still very tight.

"The next match is between Ayumi and Chris!"

After the words were spoken, the two people who were only a few meters apart in the audience looked at each other subconsciously.

"Then please give me your guidance, Ayumi~"

Chris smiled gently, showing the temperament of a senior.

Ayumi was secretly worried that she had to face her senior Xiaogang in the first round, so why did she face another senior in the second round?

Following Chris, Ayumi also stepped onto the ring reluctantly.

boom!boom!
The red light fell, and the former naturally sent out her "Tien Shan Tong Lao" doll with lips covered. The star-shaped immutable stone pendant worn around her neck was still shaking gently.

"Get ready to fight, Eevee!"

Ayumi gritted her teeth and released her four Eevee. (End of this chapter)
