Elf, who made him the gym leader?..

Chapter 511: Reaching the semifinals is a success! I know you will win!

"Brother, who do you think will win?"

Liliae asked Guxin curiously as she looked at the two people in the field.

"Who knows."

"Who knows."

Two overlapping voices were heard, and Gu Xin looked at Xiao Lan, who was rolling her eyes, in some surprise.

"I knew you would respond like this, Liliae. Don't you know? Guxin is almost always like this."

Xiao Lan made a cute face to Gu Xin, with an expression that said, "I've seen through it all."

"You are worthy of being Xiao Lan." Gu Xin couldn't help but laugh.

"But I really can't guess who will win or lose. After all, there are many factors that affect the outcome of the battle, and the difference in strength between the two of them is not that big."

Gusin shrugged.

In fact, normally, he would definitely be more optimistic about Xiaoyao. Although they are both protagonists, according to the original game, from the perspective of the plot, there must be a difference between the protagonists.

The strongest protagonists are undoubtedly the super jade washers Mingyao and Xiaozhao in "Legend: Arceus", but there is no comparison.

Mingyao Xiaozhao is the destined protagonist chosen by Arceus. He is treated completely like an alpaca's 'illegitimate child'. Even the matter of traveling through time and space was done by the alpaca. Who can compare with him?

Then there are Xiaoyang and Mitsuki from "Ultimate Sun and Moon". Mitsuki's record is really terrifying.

Before becoming the champion, he defeated Necrozma three times, one of which was against Ultimate Necrozma, and he defeated Necrozma by himself. Then after becoming the champion, he single-handedly defeated the entire Rainbow Rocket Team and defeated Rainbow Sakaki and others by himself.

This record is far more terrifying than that of the protagonists of other generations.

To be honest, even if there was no Guxin in the world of Guxin, Rainbow Sakaki and his group's invasion would never be successful.

When Mitsuki and the others grow up, I will definitely teach Rainbow Sakaki and the others how to behave.

As for Serena and Xiaoyao, Gu Xin is of course more optimistic about Xiaoyao, but this is not the original plot, and Serena in this world has strengthened her lineup.

After all, the strength of the lineup used by Serena at the beginning was not very high.

The battle between Serena and Haruka begins, and one can only say that they are worthy of being the 'monsters' of their respective regions, as both are extremely powerful.

Moreover, both of them captured a legendary Pokémon, Latios for Xiaoyao and Volkanion for Serena.

The battle lasted for a long time and the two sides fought very fiercely.

However, the battle will eventually end. Volkanion was knocked down by the pure light of Latios, and Serena sent out her final trump card, Pherome.

Pheromemant defeated Latios with a quick attack, but Latios used Rainy Day at the last moment.

Xiaoyao's ace Swampert appears, and then Xiaoyao directly mega evolves.

After the evolution beyond evolution, Swampert's appearance has changed dramatically.

Its body has become extremely strong and sturdy, with amazingly developed muscles. There is no doubt that the power of a punch from such a strong creature is astonishing.

'Drip~ Swampert (Mega Evolution), Water, Ground Attribute, Swampert Pokémon

Features: Free to roam
Special moves: Earthquake, Hammer Arm, Water Stream, 100,000 Horsepower, Ice Fist...

Introduction: The muscles of the upper body are well developed and become stronger. Super evolution strengthens the strength needed in the water, and can exert its powerful power both on land and in water.

“This rainy day is really extreme.”

Seeing that Latios actually left behind Rainy Day before being defeated, Mikoli couldn't help but get nervous.

If there is no rain, it will be difficult for Mega Swampert to fight against Pheromone.

After all, Pheromone is too fast, but it is raining now. With the free-swimming feature of Mega Swampert, the speed of Mega Swampert can be increased exponentially in the rain!

In this way, even if it is still impossible to catch up with the super-fast Felome Mantis, at least it will not be completely "played around" by the Felome Mantis at high speed.

With the power of Xiaoyao's Mega Swampert, as long as he can hit Pheromone once, even if it is not a restrained attack, it will be a heavy blow to Pheromone.

Because Pheromone is such an extreme Pokémon, its defense is so weak that it might be a bit of an exaggeration to say that it will shatter at the slightest touch, but it's not far off the mark.

Most Ultra Beasts are such extreme Pokémon.

"Yes, Xiaoyao has a chance."

Daigo responded in a deep voice, his eyes fixed on the field.

On the field, Taijing's Ferocious Mantis stood proudly, staring at the Mega Swampert with cold and arrogant eyes.

Mega Swampert leaned his extremely strong arms on the ground, and his fierce eyes also stared directly at Pheromone.

This is the last one!
"I won't lose! I definitely won't lose here!"

Serena's eyes gradually became firm. She didn't expect Xiaoyao to be so difficult to deal with. She had fought with all her might, but the situation still developed to this point.

Both sides have only one Pokémon left, so this is the final battle!
"As long as we defeat the Pheromone, we win!"

Xiaoyao's pretty face was also very serious at this moment. She took a deep breath to calm herself down. She had to calm down and concentrate.

Just defeat this last pheromone!

She didn't want to lose here, with so many people supporting her, whether it was for herself or for her Pokémon partners who were fighting with all their might, or for those who supported her.

Xiaoyao doesn’t want to fall here!

Xiaoyao raised her head and looked at Serena, and they both saw the unwavering will to win in each other's eyes.

fighting!

Almost at the same time, under the rain, Taijing Pheromone and Mega Swampert charged towards each other.

Mega Swampert roared, clenched his right fist and swung it hard at Pheromone, making a rustling sound.

However, Pheromone easily dodged the punch of Mega Swampert by just turning sideways, turned its body, and swung out a whip kick.

Mega Swampert growled and raised his left arm to block the whip kick. The tremendous force caused Mega Swampert's body to shake slightly before it stabilized.

What a terrible brute force.

Pheromone narrowed his eyes slightly and quickly stepped back to avoid the punch of the Mega Swampert.

However, Mega Swampert did not give up at all. Under the rain, its mobility and speed were much higher than normal, and it pounced on Pherome again. Its huge fist was almost bigger than Pherome's body. It was conceivable that if it was hit, it would be a catastrophic blow to Pherome.

The battle rhythm on the field was very tight, with Mega Swampert's attacks coming in waves, and Pheromone had to keep dodging and then look for opportunities to fight back.

However, no matter how it counterattacked, Mega Swampert would simply block it with its shield-like arms, and the counterattack was not very effective at all.

"The characteristic of being able to swim freely..."

Seeing Mega Swampert's powerful and swift attack, Serena's beautiful brows furrowed tightly.

Although Pheromone can still barely cope with and dodge now, there is a saying that goes, if you defend for too long, you will lose.

If this continues, it will be disastrous if the pheromone becomes careless or accidentally fails to dodge an attack.

"As long as we can hold out through the rain, there's still a chance!"

Karun was extremely nervous in the audience. Now the advantage of Mega Swampert comes from the bonus of rainy days to its free-swimming characteristics.

As long as the rain ends, the speed of Mega Swampert will slow down, and then Pheromone will have the opportunity to perform.

The rainy day lasts neither long nor short. Can the pheromone hold on?
Karuno didn't know, but now she could only hope for this.

And it turns out...

Pheromone couldn't do it because Mega Swampert's attack was too crazy. After narrowly avoiding Mega Swampert's 100,000 horsepower charge again, it failed to dodge Mega Swampert's arm hammer sweep.

The whole body of the pheromone was knocked away by the arm hammer, and it almost couldn't catch its breath and get up.

“It’s basically over.”

Gu Xin shook his head. Although the pheromone did not lose its fighting ability directly, this blow from the arm hammer almost took away half of its life.

It would be extremely difficult for Pheromonees to make a comeback next.

If Pherome wants to win, it must attack, and to attack it must take risks. Mega Swampert can completely take on Pherome's attacks and get hurt, which is enough to defeat Pherome.

And the following battle was indeed the case. The rain was over, and the free-swimming feature of Mega Swampert could not take effect. Mega Swampert's speed could no longer keep up with Pheromone.

During this period, he was attacked by the pheromone mantis many times, but most of them could not affect the overall situation.

Then Mega Swampert finally got a chance and blizzard directly covered Pheromone with it.

The philomena couldn't bear it anymore.

In the end, Xiaoyao's Mega Swampert narrowly defeated Serena's Crystalized Pheromone.

"Pheromone has lost its ability to fight, and Mega Swampert wins." The referee announced the final result of the battle.

"Sarina lost all six Pokémon, Xiaoyao won, and Xiaoyao advanced."

Serena's face was pale, and she was stunned for a moment as she looked at the Ferome Mantis which had lost its ability to fight.

She lost...

"The winner is decided! After a fierce duel, contestant Xiaoyao successfully defeated contestant Serena and successfully advanced to the quarterfinals!"

The host's passionate voice was loud and clear.

"Woooooooo..."

"Hahaha~ I knew Xiaoyao would win!"

"That's great, Haruka-chan, we knew you were the best!"

"It was a wonderful game, but it's a pity that it was still a little short in the end."

"I feel so sorry for Serena. She's tried so hard."

The audience at the scene and those watching the live broadcast expressed their inner thoughts, but there was no doubt that the Hoenn region was very happy.

"Ha! Great job, Swampert!"

Xiaoyao walked happily to Swampert, sprayed medicine on it, patted its shoulder and said happily.

Swampert growled, and its ferocious eyes narrowed gently at this moment, and it was obvious that it was also very happy.

Being able to achieve victory for one's trainer is what the Pokémon partner Ulla wants to do for his trainer.

Xiaoyao chatted with Swampert for a few more words and looked at Serena opposite him.

You can feel that Serena is very frustrated at the moment, but that's right, she wanted to win so much and tried her best, but she still lost in the end.

Xiaoyao understood that if she put herself in the other person's shoes, she would probably be the same.

Serena silently untied her hairband and stared at the Poké Ball in her hand in a daze for a long time. Finally, she couldn't help but smile bitterly.

“Great fight.”

A crisp sound came into my ears.

Serena raised her head and saw her opponent from before.

"Congratulations on your promotion."

Serena adjusted her mood, held the hand that Xiaoyao extended to her, and congratulated her with a forced smile.

"Thank you, it's really not easy. Serena, you are very strong." Xiaoyao said sincerely.

"But I still lost." Serena sighed helplessly.

"But there's no point in thinking about this, Xiaoyao. I wish you all the best in the next game."

Serena perked up and gave Xiaoyao a friendly smile. She certainly knew the purpose of Xiaoyao's visit.

Although she was indeed very disappointed and sad after losing, she had adjusted herself a lot after such a short period of time.

“After reaching the quarterfinals, the pressure will definitely be even greater than it is now.”

Serena reminded that compared to the top 16, the top 8 players are undoubtedly stronger, and each of them can no longer be described as a simple "monster".

"Ah~! I'll try my best! I don't expect to win the championship, as long as I make it to the semi-finals, I'll be considered a success!"

Xiaoyao clenched her fist and set a small goal for herself.
Don’t expect to win the championship, just advance to the top four, then maintain the top four and fight for the second place!
