Pokémon: Starting as a Farmer Instead of a Trainer

Chapter 319 Fat Otaku Beast: Sleeping is more important than competing (Seeking monthly votes)

The quarterfinals have officially begun, and the competition will adopt a six-out-of-three format, which means the matches will be even more intense.

However, the matches in Group A proceeded quite quickly. Although the opponents were indeed very strong, Ziyu still managed to defeat them relatively easily in the first match with a score of 1:3.

As the only local Concord contestant to reach the final four, Zi Yu's outstanding performance naturally drew enthusiastic cheers, and also made Boss Ju, who sponsored the Bright Stone as a prize for the competition, very satisfied.

However, in the second match, Xiao Zhao continued his performance with Slowbro defeating three opponents in one go, which made many viewers pay attention to this dark horse in the competition again. So far, he has not shown his second Pokémon.

Many people have already found out her identity: she is the youngest teacher at Blueberry Academy and also Ziyu's teacher. This means that the first match of the semi-finals will be a battle between a teacher and a student!

"Teacher Xiaozhao is really good at hiding things. Even I couldn't make Slowbro fight two battles in a row and still defeat Rockruff with the opposite type and win."

Zi Yu muttered to herself from the audience, "Tomorrow's semi-final will undoubtedly be a very tough match for me. I wonder if I can let Teacher Xiao Zhao have a good time and give it her all..."

The Group A matches have now concluded, and while the audience is looking forward to tomorrow's matches, they are also starting to pay attention to the upcoming Group B matches.

The first match is between Ash and Goose. Ash is the champion of the previous Lily of the Valley Conference, while Goose is the strongest student at Blueberry Academy. The two trainers, who are eager to battle each other, are sure to create sparks.

"It's starting! It's starting!"

Danyu became nervous and expectant. She had seen the two of them fight many times before, with each winning and losing, but this time the outcome was uncertain.

Ash's Pikachu is incredibly powerful. It was defeated by Ash's Mightyena, but it also defeated Ash's Grimmsnarl and Porygon-B almost without taking any damage. It's like it has an adaptive combat ability.

Dawn, Iris, and Cilan watched the battle from the sidelines and cheered Ash on. The three of them completely overwhelmed Danyu.

Mingyou held Ponpo, and Xiaozhao held Latias, both watching the battle from the sidelines. Kirlia was full of excitement; being there in person was definitely more fun than watching the live stream. Calyrex had its head bandaged and sat to the side, unnoticed by any passersby.

The first match in Group B was very intense. The two sides were evenly matched and fought for nearly 15 minutes. Both were in high spirits and full of fighting spirit, neither giving an inch. Soon, only Pikachu and Snake were left for the final battle.

Unfortunately, the random beam from the Honeycomb Serpent failed to gather all the snakes and bugs inside the apple to fire the laser together, allowing Pikachu to successfully dodge the beam attack and end the match with a single Iron Tail!

Looking at the final result, some were happy and some were sad. Danyu gripped her hair tightly, clenched her teeth, and looked like she was about to cry.

Xiao Guang and the others who noticed this immediately comforted her.

Mingyou released Pengpeng, stood up and looked down, and said softly, "Although Ali lost, he had such a satisfying match. Even if he hadn't faced me, he shouldn't have too many regrets."

Upon hearing this, Danyu looked over with a resentful expression and shouted, "Ali and I have both lost. The reputation of Beishang depends on you two."

"But I'm a Parthian..."

"I don't care, you and Sister Xiaozhao are now the people of Beishang Township, the hope of our entire village."

"In Padiya, you're a Padiya; in Kitakami, you're a Kitakami, right?"

Mingyou smiled helplessly, waved to Xiaozhao and the others, and left to participate in the final match.

"come on!"

Xiao Zhao's gaze followed his retreating figure until he disappeared at the end of the stairs...

A moment later, Mingyou arrived at the arena below, immediately drawing cheers. His battle with Meiyue the day before yesterday had almost convinced the audience of his strength, although there was still a strong suspicion that he had cheated.

Yu also made her appearance at this moment, but this time she was not wearing the Scottish kilt outfit. Instead, she changed into a white competition outfit with the Galar League logo, which showed off her figure. The shorts had her Galar League card number "227" on the end!

"She's getting serious!"

Calycerin adjusted its posture. It knew its friend, Xiaoyou, very well. Although Xiaoyou was a little arrogant, the last time it wore this racing suit was two years ago when Xiaoyou won the Galar Regional Tournament, which was enough to show that it was taking this seriously.

Naruto also noticed the expression on the other's face when he changed his outfit and appeared. It was completely different from when the other had conducted the Dynamax experiment with him at the manor. This time, he genuinely wanted to have a serious battle with him.

At this moment, Xiaoyou revealed the enormous wristband on her right wrist and shouted, "I was hoping to meet you again in the final, but I didn't expect to be paired with you now. Let's settle this here!"

"Max Band... Do you intend to use Dynamax to battle me?"

"If only that were possible, it's just a pity that Dynamax can't be used in the Unova region..."

The two exchanged a few simple words, instantly dashing the hopes of the audience. In fact, they said it on purpose to dispel any doubts some people had about whether Dynamax could be used in other regions.

After the conversation, the battle is about to begin.

In the audience, Uri and Ash, who had returned to their seats, immediately turned their attention to what was happening below.

Xiao Zhao held Latias with a serious expression. Since the last battle between Mingyou and Meiyue, she was no longer willing to predict the final outcome. Therefore, she was not very confident that Mingyou could win.

The Crowned King naturally hopes that Xiao You can win, unless Ming You is willing to give it a raise. It's not the kind of guy who would betray its own people; it's a trustworthy creature!

Kirlia watched nervously from the side. Both Mingyou and Xiaoyou were very important to it, and if it could, it wanted to cheer for both of them.

at the same time……

"The match begins!"

As the referee's voice faded, both sides simultaneously threw out Poké Balls. A red light flashed, and Xiaoyou did not send out Cinderace as her first Pokémon. Instead, she sent out Corviknight, which soared into the sky. This was the first time she had sent out a different Pokémon in the Junior Cup.

However, Mingyou's starting lineup was not Winged and Lucario, but Garchomp, which puzzled the audience. "Are you playing in the Baby Cup?"

How can Garchomp fight Corviknight head-on?

"Finally, I've seen the child."

Cynthia smiled gently. She had always thought highly of this Garchomp, but it was indeed a bit of a miscalculation to let it appear this time.

And that's exactly what happened. Mingyou thought Xiaoyou would start with Cinderace and use Garchomp to counter it, but so be it. Besides, Garchomp isn't a Pokémon that will back down easily.

"Let's fight!"

"shark!"

Garchomp brandished its claws, using Dragon Dance to boost its momentum. Corviknight hovered in the air, not launching an attack, but instead using Iron Defense to make its steel body even darker and shinier, greatly increasing its defense.

Such a good opportunity to snowball is something no normal person would miss. However, in terms of speed, Garchomp already has the advantage. Although it can't fly, its jumping ability is just as outstanding as Lucario's!

"Dragon's Dive!"

"Brave Bird, Charge!"

Both of them waved and shouted at the same time. Garchomp transformed into a blue-purple dragon shadow and leaped into the air, while Corviknight folded its wings and swooped down at full speed, creating a powerful gust of air. The two collided fiercely in mid-air.

At that moment, Xiaoyou raised her arm and continued shouting, "Use the Steel Wings again!"

The moment the words left his mouth, Corviknight swiftly spread its wings. Its steel body completely ignored the pain caused by the injury, and taking advantage of the impact of Brave Bird's fierce attack, it used its steel wings to cut through the air and directly slashed Garchomp's shoulder.

In just a brief exchange, Garchomp was completely outmatched and fell from mid-air. Even its Rough Skin ability couldn't harm Corviknight's body, which was protected by shiny black metallic feathers.

"It's over, slam!"

Xiaoyou waved her hand downwards. Although it would be better to snowball her advantage, she enjoyed the thrill of intense battle more than the victory brought by a steady approach.

Corviknight immediately folded its wings again, creating a gust of air as it swooped down. Seeing this, Meiyu made no attempt to make Garchomp dodge, raising her arm and shouting, "Use Meteor Shower like that!"

"shark!"

Garchomp quickly got up, which surprised Xiaoyou, considering its severe injuries...

What she didn't know was that Garchomp was the only Pokémon in Naruto's family that enjoyed battling, and the stronger the opponent, the more excited it would get!

Facing the falling Corviknight, the meteor shower was already launched. Before it could disperse in the air, it collided with the opponent, maximizing the damage. However, Corviknight completely withstood the explosion of the meteor shower and rushed straight down!

As the dust kicked up by the impact of its landing subsided, the noise on the field subsided, and when the dust settled, Garchomp was no longer able to fight.

The result was not unexpected, but what surprised everyone was that the Corviknight's wing seemed to be broken, and a trace of pain appeared on its face.

Through slow-motion footage captured by the Rotom drone, viewers finally saw that Garchomp, despite its significant physical exhaustion, unleashed another Dragon Claw attack the instant it finished releasing Meteor Shower, successfully striking Corviknight's wing joint...

"Thank goodness it's a Corviknight..."

Xiaoyou didn't even dare to think about what would happen if she started with Cinderace. She saw the shadow of Leon's Charizard in this Garchomp, both of them were Pokémon that completely enjoyed the battle.

Mingyou recalled her Garchomp, looked at the Poké Ball, and whispered, "Get some rest. There will be many more opportunities. Let your teammates take over!"

Seeing this, many in the audience expressed their regret. If it were Garchomp, it would definitely have been a more exciting battle. Even Cynthia thought so.

But what Pokémon will Naruto appear next? Most viewers are hoping to see Fluttershy and Lucario make an appearance.

The two Pokémon's outstanding performance has won them many fans, and some people are even discussing which of the two Pokémon is Naruto's ace.

But when Mingyou showed a serious smile and threw out the Poké Ball, accompanied by a flashing effect, everyone was stunned by the enormous body.

Without a moment's mourning for Garchomp's defeat, the first to step in is Snorlax, who's sleeping and blocking the way!

"Kirby..."

Snorlax's belly heaved, as if it had eaten too much in the morning and now had no energy at all. It snored, rolled over, and continued sleeping...
