Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 609 Semifinals! Mizuki vs. Kozo!

Time flies, and five days later, the semifinals of the World Championships began.

Quartz Plateau was still packed with people, and the sunglass-wearing host's passionate words echoed throughout the Quartz Arena.

"Welcome everyone to the Quartz Arena! Today we will be holding the semifinals of the World Championship Eight Masters Tournament!"

"Now, let's give a warm welcome to the four strongest trainers in the world!"

The entire venue erupted in thunderous applause.

The four elevators started up, and Mammon, Sakaki, Mizuki, and Kozo were slowly raised.

"Sakaki, champion!! Lead us to another victory!"

"Aaaaaaah! Mammon! Mammon is invincible!"

"Our hope of Alola, Mizuki! You absolutely must make it to the finals!"

"Xiao Zhao! Xiao Zhao is the strongest!"

The countless cheers from the audience were deafening, and only gradually subsided after a long while.

"These four people are really not surprising at all."

From the audience, Touko looked at the family of four and couldn't help but speak up.

Yes, these four people made it to the final four, which is really not surprising at all.

"Anyway, Mammon will definitely be the champion in the end. I just don't know who will fight Mammon in the final."

Mei rested her chin on her hand, convinced that the championship was definitely Mammon's.

"I heard that little alpaca is the creator god! No wonder he's my man, hehe~"

Mei's gaze fell on the white-gold alpaca at Mammon's feet, which was looking around with great curiosity.

They seemed quite interested in the venue and atmosphere.

Mei knew that Mammon had been taking the alpaca with him almost every day these past few days, but after understanding the situation, it wasn't surprising at all.

I heard that even the fearless Punisher Hoopa avoids this little alpaca, afraid of getting entangled with it.

Well, to use Hoopa's words, it's not that it's afraid of the alpaca, it's that it's worried about making the alpaca cry.

"Yes, Mr. Mammon is really amazing."

Touko agreed; she strongly agreed with Mei's words.

Of the four members of this family, Mammon is the inevitable champion, but the fact that they are in the top four doesn't mean there's no suspense.

Sakaki, Mizuki, and Kozo are all formidable opponents, and each of them has a real chance to reach the finals; it all depends on how they are matched up.

As the sunglasses-wearing host finished his opening remarks, the matching system on the big screen began to work, with the four avatars constantly rotating.

All eyes were drawn, including Mammon's group of four, and finally...

Mitsuki vs. Xiaozhao!

Mammon vs. Sakaki!

When she saw the matching result, Mizuki slowly grinned. For her, this match was great!

Compared to Mammon, she would rather fight against Sakaki and Kozo, after all... she couldn't beat her own man.

But Sakaki and Kozo are different; Mizuki's fighting spirit is burning!
"Second Mama."

Xiao Zhao was also very satisfied with the matching result, and a smile appeared on her pure and delicate face.

Second Mom is the strongest Trainer in the world besides Dad. She learned a lot about Trainers from Second Mom when she was little.

Speaking of which, ever since she participated in the World Championships, she has always wanted to have a good match with her second mother.

Isn't this coming?

"Mammon, hehe~"

Sakaki's lips curled slightly as he looked at Mammon.

Mammon happened to be looking at Sakaki as well, and the father and son exchanged a smile.

Without a doubt, at least for now, all four are quite satisfied with this match.

"Alright! Now let's welcome the two trainers from the first match of the semi-finals to the stage!"

The sunglasses-wearing host's loud voice was very clear.

"Mizuki!"

"Xiao Zhao!"

Woo—!

A burst of enthusiastic cheers erupted from the crowd.

Mamon and Sakaki left the stage at the opportune moment, leaving the stage to Mizuki and her companion.

"Xiao Zhao."

Mizuki walked to her designated trainer position, her sharp and excited eyes fixed on the blue-haired girl opposite her.

In terms of appearance, she really does look very similar to Prantina.

But Mizuki knew very well that Xiaozhao was far stronger than Plantina.

After all, Xiao Zhao easily defeated Prandina in the quarterfinals.

To be honest, judging from this record alone, Xiao Zhao's performance is truly amazing.

Mizuki was very confident that she could defeat Plantina. Even if they fought ten times, she could win ten times, with a 100% win rate.

However, unless she directly uses Guleton and Solgaleo, it won't be easy for Mizuki to achieve the same results as Kozo.

Therefore, Mizuki is really looking forward to this battle.

The referee entered the arena and announced the rules of the battle. On the big screen, the pointer indicating who went first had stopped, and Mizuki went first.

"Hey~ Xiaozhao, let me see what you're capable of now! Don't disappoint me." Mizuki took out a Poké Ball and gave Xiaozhao a big smile, her attitude not too overbearing.

After all, Mizuki knew that Xiao Zhao was the daughter of Plantina who had traveled through time, and in a sense, she could be considered her future niece.

Hmm, or perhaps goddaughter would be more appropriate.

As an elder, it's natural not to say harsh words to a younger person.

"Don't worry, Sister Meiyue, you have to be careful. I'm very strong!" Xiao Zhao smiled, her eyes crinkling.

"Ha~ I'll be waiting."

Mizuki stood with her hands on her hips, exuding confidence.

"Fiery Roaring Tiger! Go!"

And Mizuki's starting lineup, naturally, is the ever-present Blazing Roaring Tiger.

"Fire Beast!"

Xiao Zhao's starting lineup was a Blaze, not the Arcanine he had been using.

Of course, the main reason is that the Blazing Roar Tiger's 'triple combo' is too disgusting, so the starting lineup actually needs to be replaced.

Otherwise, it would be too difficult to fight while being weakened.

"Mammon, who do you think will win, Xiaozhao or Meiyue?"

In the players' tunnel, Sakaki asked Mammon.

They didn't leave, and the view from the players' tunnel was also quite good.

"It's hard to say," Mammon shook his head.

"Is it that you find it hard to say, or that you don't want to say?" Sakaki glanced at Mammon with amusement.

Without exaggeration, Sakaki felt that his chances of winning were not high, no matter which one he was matched with: Mizuki or Kozo.

Let's not even mention Xiao Zhao; she's a pure and unattractive beauty.

But Mizuki is actually a complete monster, just not as monster as Kozaki.

Especially now, even with Primal Groudon as his ace, Giovanni doesn't have much confidence that he can defeat Mizuki.

After all, Mizuki's team's combat strength is now incredibly impressive.

So, Sakaki was really curious about the final outcome of the battle between the two prodigies, Mizuki and Kozo.

However, regardless of who wins in the end, Sakaki can accept it, since one is his daughter-in-law and the other is his granddaughter.

On the field, the battle continues.

The battle between Mizuki and Kozo was undoubtedly extremely exciting, with neither of them holding back.

After Mizuki uses Blazing Roaring Tiger's 'triple combo', Melmet appears.

Xiao Zhao then recalled the Emerald Firestorm Beast and sent out the Emerald Gale, directly transforming it into a normal-type Pokémon.

In the match between Jade Golem and Melmetal, Jade Golem has the obvious advantage, as Melmetal is too slow and has a disadvantageous typing.

However, Mizuki remained calm and rational, relying on Melmet's strong defense to fight steadily.

However, Xiao Zhao finally seized the opportunity, risking injury, and used the Great Furious of the Green Arcanine to hit Melmetre, followed by a close-range Flame Burst.

Amidst the raging flames, Melomet fell.

Mizuki's third Pokémon was Gotham, one of her "Companions," which she obtained using her Team Rocket merits.

While Arcanine possesses Extreme Speed, Grimaloo has a move called Quick Strike that is naturally effective against priority moves.

After suffering a loss once, Xiao Zhao fought normally. After a fierce battle, the Jade Golem and the Great Golem were successfully defeated together.

"So strong."

Mizuki couldn't help but lick her slightly dry lips, her eyes growing brighter and more passionate.

She only experienced this kind of pressure when she had to replace one of her two main attackers with a single Jade Golem. To be honest, she only experienced this kind of pressure in the early stages of her growth.

The battle continued, with the Blazing Roaring Tiger weakening first, followed by the Moonlit Rotation and the Chirping Chirp.

Xiao Zhao had the Green Firestorm Beast weakened and then replaced it with Moon Bear.

In terms of attributes, Umbreon's Ground-type is immune to Tapu Koko's Electric-type, which is an advantage.

However, Ursaring was too slow, and Tapu Koko found an opportunity to use the Z-Move Alolan Giant, severely injuring Ursaring and slightly injuring Tapu Koko.

Xiao Zhao realized that this Tapu Koko was very strong, so he switched out his heavily injured Ursaring and brought out a Bug/Rock combo Scizor to fight.

After a fierce battle, both Scizor and Tapu Koko were severely injured, and Scizor defeated Tapu Koko.

At this point, Mizuki's three Pokémon were unable to battle.

Mizuki sent out the Blazing Roaring Tiger, which defeated the heavily injured Mantis and won back a point.

Xiao Zhao once again sent out Moon Bear, which severely injured Blazing Roaring Tiger. Mei Yue promptly recalled Blazing Roaring Tiger.

Then Mizuki sent out her fifth Pokémon, Solgaleo, the 'sun-devouring beast' from Alola mythology.

Solgaleo defeated Umbreon, and then Xiaozhao sent out Typhlosion to Dynamax.

Mizuki also decisively Dynamaxed, and the Dynamaxed Solgaleo defeated Xiaozhao's Dynamaxed Magmortar, but Solgaleo itself was also seriously injured.

Xiao Zhao's fifth Pokémon was a Savage, which defeated the heavily injured Solgaleo and then Incineroar, which appeared later.

Mizuki was driven to the brink of despair.

Mizuki's sixth Pokémon is none other than the legendary Paradise Guardian Dragon, Guleton.

Mizuki Taijinghua, through Taijing fighting, decisively defeated the heavily injured Washi Greatsword Demon.

Xiao Zhao was also driven to the brink of despair. Xiao Zhao's last Pokémon was Dialga from the Sinnoh mythology, and it was even the Origin Dialga!

Therefore, Guleton fought a great battle against Origin. Dialga, but in the end, Guleton fell to Origin. Dialga's Time Roar.

In the first semi-final match, Xiaozhao defeated Meiyue and advanced!
