Pokémon: The Sims.

Chapter 279 No.3, 1v6
The group stage has ended.

Just as Wu Ge had predicted.

Kikuko has a perfect record of 15 points, ranking No. 1.

Aju also scored 15 points in another group, ranking No. 1.

They will face off against No. 15 and No. 16 respectively in the first match of the upcoming knockout stage.

Ah-Ju has virtually no chance of becoming one of the Four Heavenly Kings.

But I guess they're not aiming for the top spot.

With his intelligence and prudence, how could he not know how to control the score?
His thinking was probably the same as Kona's; he didn't want to deliberately hold back and lose.

A-Du and Kona both have 14 points, tied for No. 3.

The winner of either of these two matches will advance to the semifinals and become one of the "Four Heavenly Kings".

It was unexpected for Wu Ge that Adu did not get a perfect score in the other group.

I only found out by asking Lucario.

A-Du lost to Liu Bo, the Ice-type Gym Leader of Kaji Town.

Given A-du's personality, it's impossible for him to hold back in any battle.

Even when facing a rookie trainer who has just started training, he will pull out his Dragonite.

So it's not that Adu is controlling the score, but that he genuinely can't beat Liu Bo, and that's all the strength he has at this stage.

Shiba has only 13 points.

They were assigned to the other half of the competition area.

The knockout stage begins.

Kona's first match was against Rika, No. 14, a young woman of her generation.

The future Dark-type Champion.

There is no elemental advantage/disadvantage relationship between it and Kona.

Judging from her appearance, Rinka seems to be a year or two younger than Kona.

However, her strength should not be underestimated; she is a true gym-level trainer.

Although there was no Elite Four-level Pokémon in the team, all of them were Gym Leader-level Dark-type Pokémon.

Moreover, Rika's team, like Kona's, is fixed.

They didn't spend time training a second team or any other Pokémon.

During the group stage.

The King of Fighters Championship is not open to the public; it can only be watched via live television broadcast.

But the knockout stage is different.

The stands were filled with fans of each contestant.

Although both Kona and Rinka are young women, their fan bases are quite different.

Lorelei's group is mainly composed of gentle and refined ladies and gentlemen, who are clearly all water-type trainers.

On Rika's side, there are biker gangs and motorcyclists who are always yelling and have unique fashion styles.
"I'll take this one."

Wu Ge raised his hand, preparing to go on stage himself.

"Hmm? Bogarman, you want to go first?"

Kona's face showed a look of surprise.

We've been partners for so long.

This was the first time she had ever seen Wu Ge appear first.

"Saves time."

Wu Ge took small steps and ran onto the battlefield.

save time.

It was so that I could immediately run to Watari's side to check on the situation after the battle.

Logically speaking.

With Kona's team, it shouldn't be too difficult to beat Wataru.

But he still wanted to see.

What level is Adu at now? He can't even beat Uncle Liu.

"Eh~ Piplup is the first one to go on stage?!"

"I thought I'd have to wait until the very end to see him play again."

"Damn it, why did they send out such a strong one right away?"

What about Pear Blossom?

The shadow of a famous tree.

As soon as Wu Ge appeared on stage, not only the fans on both sides, but also the fans of other people turned their heads to look at him.

Pear Blossom seemed to have foreseen the ending and couldn't help but sigh.

However, it was for the sake of his fans.

She decided to continue the fight anyway.

Her first Pokémon was a Rockruff.

The combination of Ghost and Dark attributes in the Flower Rock Monster is quite a good setup.

It has three attributes: immunity, fighting, and superpowers, plus resistance to poison.

Of the eighteen attributes, only the fairy attribute can be countered.

Among Rinka's six Pokémon.

This is the only Pokémon that Wu Ge is completely unable to control.

Because he hasn't mastered Fairy-type moves.

The battle begins.

"Shadow sneak attack!"

Pear Blossom's voice had just rang out.

The figure of the Flower Rock Monster then vanished from its spot.

Logically, he should have appeared behind Wu Ge.

However, the current situation on the field is that Wu Ge has appeared behind the re-emerged Flower Rock Monster.

"back"

Bang!
Before Pear Blossom's voice had even faded, Wu Ge had already spat out a water cannon that blasted behind the Flower Rock Monster.

boom!
Almost instantly.

The Flower Rock Monster was slammed against the wall at the edge of the arena by the high-pressure water jet.

"When did he get behind the Rock Golem? Did the Rock Golem fly to the wrong place?"

"Don't you guys think that the power of this Piplup's water cannon is a bit exaggerated?"

"What level is Bogarman now? It feels like it's not even in the same league as the Rockruff."

The audience was stunned by what they saw.

No human present could detect Wu Ge's movement, and they could barely even see the Flower Rock Monster being thrown away.

"A Flower Rock Monster?!"

Pear Blossom raised her eyelids and quickly looked toward the location of the Flower Rock Monster.

The Flower Rock Monster floated shakily up from the ground, almost causing him to faint.

"Okay, hypnosis!"

The Flower Rock Monster emitted a pink glow.

Even some of the spectators outside the stadium started to doze off.

but.

This tactic had little effect on Wu Ge.

Even Wu Ge himself couldn't figure out whether it was because of his high soul strength or because of the power of waveguide.

Anyway, as the target of hypnosis, he only felt a little sleepy.

But aside from a yawn, it didn't seem to have any other effect. 'This kind of psychological suggestion trick doesn't seem to work on me; perhaps Grass-type sleep powder would be more effective.'

Wu Ge muttered to himself, realizing he had discovered one of his strengths.

He hadn't realized this before.

That's great news.

Because when an opponent falls asleep, Ghost-type and Psychic-type Pokémon will often follow up with a move called "Dream Eater".

A special superpower attack with a power of up to 100.

He had no idea how to dodge such a silent, colorless, and invisible attack.

Subsequently.

He raised his hand and gestured.

A thin mist of frost began to rise from the ground.

"Damn it, it's just white mist..."

Pear Blossom clenched her fist.

My actions were completely anticipated by the other side!

She had originally planned to have the Rockruff use 'Farewell Gift' before leaving the field to significantly reduce Piplup's attack and magic attack.

However, with the white mist present, parting gifts were ineffective.

Just as Pear Blossom's train of thought was interrupted and she was still making plans.

Bang!
Wu Ge burst out of the white mist and delivered an Ice Spin kick to the Flower Rock Monster's face.

The Flower Rock Monster flew out again.

This time, however, the Flower Rock Monster failed to rise from the ground.

"Rockgar is unable to battle. Please send out your next Pokémon, Rinka. Should Lorelei switch Pokémon?"

The league referee immediately made the announcement and looked at Cora.

Kona turned to look at Wu Ge.

The latter shook his head.

"No change."

Rinka's next Pokémon will appear.

Absol.

Despite its low base stats, it is quite popular among Dark-type Pokémon.

The key reason is his Mega Evolution, which is cool.

"Absol, use the Song of the End!"

Pear Blossom is a ruthless person too.

There wasn't even a token greeting; they just had Absol unleash his ultimate attack right off the bat.

This kind of area-of-effect attack is a move that gives Wu Ge a real headache.

The Song of the End.

It will cause any Pokémon on the field that hears the song to faint after three rounds.

This is considered an unreasonable, bugged move in the game.

In reality, this 'three rounds' has become a certain amount of time.

How long this time lasts depends on the level difference between the Pokémon being used and the target Pokémon.

Generally, once you reach level 30, the Song of the End will have no effect.

However, Wu Ge and Absol obviously do not have such a large level difference; at most, they are only 7 or 8 levels apart.

but.

In fact, there are quite a few ways to break the Song of the End.

For example, right now, Wu Ge just needs to carry Absol away before the Song of the End takes effect.

In the blink of an eye.

Wu Ge had already disappeared from his original spot and was attacking Absol.

"Shadow clone!"

More than twenty Absol suddenly appeared on the field, dazzling the onlookers.

"Bogaman, she's stalling for time!"

Kona quickly reminded him.

Wu Ge could naturally see it.

He tilted his head back and spat out a huge waterspout.

He grabbed with both hands and slammed it down.

The whirlpool instantly transformed into waves that rolled in all directions across the field.

"Jump up!"

Pear Blossom quickly spoke up.

Wu Ge closed his eyes and carefully sensed.

Then, it suddenly lifted its foot, rubbing its palms together, and charged towards the Absol that had just lifted its foot.

"careful!"

shuh~
As Pear Blossom's voice faded, Absol had just leaped up to avoid the impact of the waves below.

But Wu Ge arrived on top of him at that moment.

The small, ice-blue wings slashed straight down from above.

Snapped!
A knowing blow.

Outstanding effect.

Hit vital points, attribute advantage, black belt power boost.

Absol was instantly defeated by Wu Ge with a single tile-splitting move.

"Absol is incapacitated."

The referee's voice fell again.

The entire room fell silent.

Pear Blossom's breathing became rapid. She stared blankly at the little penguin on the field, and a little cold sweat began to seep from her forehead.

This pressure
It reminded her of when she challenged Professor Oak a while ago.

The same powerlessness.

Followed by.

The ace Umbreon was defeated by a combo of Extreme Speed, Ice Spin, Brick Break, and Aura Sphere.

The Ice-type Weavile was instantly killed by a single Holy Fire attack.

The Fire-type Houndoom was sent away by Rain Dance and Water Slash.

The flying-type crow leader was sent away by a blizzard and a freezing ray.

Wu Ge single-handedly defeated the entire Pear Blossom team.

He became the first and only Pokémon in the Elite Four tournament to shut out another player.

You should know that there are no weaklings who can step onto this field.

But this Piplup managed to defeat all the Pokémon that were only a few levels weaker than itself, all by using a variety of strangely powerful moves.

Let alone Pear Blossom and the audience.

Even Kona herself was dumbfounded.

This is what she has done in the past two years.

This was the only time I saw Wu Ge go all out.

Only then did she know.

"No wonder Lapras always calls Piplup "Big Brother," he's that strong!"
