June 28, early in the morning.

"Welcome to the Quartz Stadium. There are still ten minutes to go before the start of the quarterfinals, so let me first introduce the special guests of this year's Quartz Alliance!" As the commentator's words fell, the camera turned to his side. When the smiling face of the red-haired youth appeared on the big screen, the cheers almost toppled the stadium.

"—Dragon Heavenly King, Du!"

According to the practice of the Quartz Alliance, the organizers will invite one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Guandu as a special guest commentator during the quarterfinals.

Although the people of Kanto are accustomed to referring to Wataru as "Tenwang", in fact, Wataru also participated in the Tenno Champion Qualifying Tournament in the Johto area and won the title of champion. This amazing and glamorous dragon messenger is sought after by countless young people, and some viewers even spend a lot of money to buy tickets to the quarterfinals just to see it once.

Wataru smiled and greeted the camera, unsurprisingly causing another howl. The narrator next to him finally quieted down the audience, and teased very cooperatively, "It seems that everyone wants to hear the voice of the Dragon Heavenly King more than me, right?" ”

The red-haired youth took over the conversation knowingly and said with a smile, "It's an honor to come to the Quartz League arena as a commentator for the second time, and I look forward to the outstanding performance of the players." As for your suggestion," Wataru said with a slight joke as he looked at the middle-aged man next to him, who often commented on important matches, "I'll seriously consider it if the organizers agree to calculate my salary based on the number of words." ”

Amid the laughter of the audience, the commentator added, "The top three winners of this year's league competition will still be able to receive three mysterious prizes personally selected by the special guest Mr. Wataru." I hope the contestants will be motivated and sprint for honors and prizes!"

Due to the commentator's "open-minded laziness", a few minutes later, Long Tianwangdu had to personally announce that "the quarterfinals have officially begun, and the players are invited to enter". Xiao Ye walked up to the conductor's seat against the tsunami-like cheers of the mountains, only to think that if the audience continued to maintain this volume, she might not even be able to hear the opponent's instructions.

Unlike in the round of 16, there was no off-season to adjust and plan tactics, so players had to train at night and before the next day. As a result, most of the players who sat neatly in the audience yesterday were making final adjustments at the training ground. Only Xiao Jie, who had already been out of the game early, sat in the front row with Yojin, and prepared to enjoy the game wholeheartedly with Xinghai and Yuan Zheng, two adults who had nothing to do.

As for why she played at eight o'clock in the morning......

Sayo had given up thinking.

Today's rainy city in Mihara City, but with the deliberate intervention of the organizer's weather controller, the weather around the quartz stadium is still sunny and good. Through the scorching sunlight of midsummer, Xiao Ye saw that his opponent also stepped on the field.

The boy with short blue hair was still wearing a neat white kimono, as if he didn't feel the summer heat at all. His expression was serious and solemn, like a warrior about to fight on the battlefield, and anyone who looked at those golden eyes could feel the awe-inspiring battle intent of the young man.

Wataru and the commentator introduced the basic information of the two players on the red and green sides word by word, and the two people standing in the command seat had completely eliminated the interference of the noise from the outside world and poured all their minds into the arena surrounded by four white lines.

The roulette wheel that attacked first slowly turned, pointing in the direction of Xiao Ye.

"Tyrannosaurus. ”

As early as last night, Xiao Ye and the Pokémon decided to take the lead in the first attack. The light flashed, and the deep blue water dragon roared loudly, obviously unable to suppress the desire to fight to the fullest.

On the other side, Bai Lan also quickly sent his own vanguard. The Pokémon in the steel helmet showed a cold and glistening blade, and the bloodshot eyes locked on the tyrannosaurus.

It was the Slash Commander that Brandy had used in the first round. Xiao Ye was particularly impressed by the match between Bai Lan and Natsuyo Takuma, she knew that the slashing commander with a broken head blade seemed to be not very conscious, and there were few moves he could use, but his attack ability was still powerful, as fearful as an extremely sharp steel knife.

Obviously, for a rampaging guy like Commander Slash, a large Pokémon is easier to deal with than a small and nimble guy. Realizing that the Tyrannosaurus was not dominant in terms of attributes or fighting style, Saya pondered as she cast her gaze on the Tyrannosaurus.

The signal for the start of the game is given. When the colorful flag in the referee's hand was waved, Xiao Ye was suddenly stunned.

She noticed that something was wrong with the Tyrannosaurus's state.

The Tyrannosaurus has always been a belligerent, and its ferocious nature makes it more combat-ready than Charizard, and whenever it is sent out in a fight, it will lean forward as if it is ready to pounce on the trainer before he can give instructions. Now, however, it was as stiff as if it had been hit by an electromagnetic wave, and its wide-stared eyes were full of anger mixed with astonishment, and ......

Sadness?

After Bai Lan's brief attack command, the Slash Commander rushed forward like a bloodthirsty beast. Xiao Ye didn't have time to distinguish the demeanor of the tyrannosaurus, and immediately gave the instruction to "surf".

The voice fell, and the tyrannosaurus did not respond.

The crisp impact of the golden and iron handover sounded, and the unreserved rush force of the slashing commander poured all over the tyrannosaurus, and cracks immediately appeared on the hard scales, and dark red blood seeped out of them. The tyrannosaurus howled as if it had just come to its senses, and the slower surf spread out haphazardly, flooding half of the field.

The Slash Commander landed with a bang, and the waves of water immediately submerged most of its body. But this did not stop its footsteps in the slightest, and the Pokémon in the steel helmet still moved like thunder, and the blade above its head sliced through the water waves, and once again hit the torso of the dark blue water dragon head-on.

The scales of the tyrannosaur's abdomen were far softer than the rest, and the sharp pain that pierced the heart came and awakened memories of years ago buried in its mind.

When it realizes that it has been beaten by the familiar Pokémon, the Tyrannosaurus seems to have reverted back to the weak Carp King who has not yet evolved. Panic flooded its heart, causing it to forget even its powerful foes and subconsciously turn its head.

In a trance, the Tyrannosaurus thought that he would see the back of a trainer holding his head with his back to the arena and "abandoning" it on the battlefield alone. However, when the dark illusion in the memory turned into reality, it first met the familiar eyes behind the sunglasses.

The battle had just started for only ten seconds, and the enemy was unscathed, chasing the wounded tyrannosaurus. In such a one-sided situation, the young girl remained as calm as ever, and even smiled at the tyrannosaurus when she noticed it coming.

The over-calmed smile made the Tyrannosaurus feel excited, and the mixed anger and fear faded like a flame, and the brain suddenly became clear.

That's right......

She's not him.

The eyes of the trainer and the Pokémon met for only a brief moment. Bai Lan seemed to notice the opponent's abnormality, but he only raised his eyebrows, and did not mean to keep his hand in the slightest. The Slash Commander's body was like an arrow, and the third slash was about to fall on the Tyrannosaurus.

Looking at the Tyrannosaurus's eyes that had regained their clarity, Xiao Ye put down the hand that was clasped on the Poké Ball on his waist and smiled, "Shadow clone." ”

When the first word of Night's instructions came out, the Tyrannosaurus moved. Countless lights and shadows flew out of its body, turning into a dazzling figure of a deep blue water dragon. Bai Lan reacted very quickly, and immediately ordered the Commander of the Chop to "set off the water waves", and the water that had retreated below the knee flew up with the rapid rotation of the Commander of the Chopping Commander, the scale of the wave was not large, but it was just right to cover all the real and false tyrannosaurs.

The false shadow vanished in an instant, leaving only the only real Tyrannosaurus. The Slash Commander charged at his opponent again, and the shadow clone couldn't even hold it back for five seconds—if you didn't count the sudden increase in distance between the two.

When the waves shatter the shadow clone, Night's instructions also arrive.

"Surf, storm. ”

If nothing happened at the beginning of the game, this should have been the first order that Xiao Ye had prepared—the Tyrannosaurus let out a high-pitched roar, and the waves that covered the sky and the sun were like a natural disaster, with the Tyrannosaurus as the center, it spread unreasonably and explosively to the surrounding area, instantly turning the entire battlefield into Zeguo. At the same time, a violent storm churned the sea, and countless large and small whirlpools of disorder filled every corner of the view.

Whether it's a rushing surf or a swirling tide, it's completely different from what you see in front of you. The water surface that covered the entire field was shaken up by the storm, and the turbulent water and the overlapping whirlpools were entangled, like the sea in a storm, and the sound of extremely dangerous waves resounded.

The resistance caused by ordinary waves of water cannot stop the charge of the Slashing Commander. But when the Tyrannosaurus unfolded the "Sea of Storms", the running Chopping Commander suddenly shook his body and fell to the ground.

After watching the video of the battle between Bailan and Takuma, Sayo thought about how to deal with the Slashing Commander. Its physical fitness is almost overwhelmingly stronger than all of Saya's Pokémon, and it can wreak havoc just by relying on its physical strength. Resistance in a single direction was of little use to the Slash Commander, and not even the water in the water arena several meters deep could stop the Slash Commander from jumping with all his might.

While being good at rampage, its ability to maneuver is naturally much weaker. So, what if resistance is not in a single direction, but changes direction all the time, so complex that it is difficult for anyone to predict?

With the ability to control the flow of water and the storm moves he gained from practicing in the sea, the tyrannosaurus completed the requirements of the night.

The waves of the surf still swirl around the tyrannosaurus, and the haphazard storm stirs the water into chaos, and even the tyrannosaurus itself knows where it will be going next.

The moment the Slash Commander fell unexpectedly, the storm's fire enveloped it. Before the Commander of the Storm could feel the wind, the current had already swept up, throwing the Commander into the air in a spinning motion.

The figure of the tyrannosaurus suddenly sank into the water. It sped through the rolling deep blue waves, like a dragon roaming freely in a sea of storms, its hard horns slamming into the waterspout-entangled Commander Slash.

The next moment, the strong and powerful dragon tail slapped down, and the deafening sound of impact resounded throughout the audience. The Pokémon in the steel helmet turned black in front of his eyes, his heavy body was slapped into the water, and the dark red color of the steel quickly disappeared into the snow-white droplets.

====================

Small Theatre:

Referee: The familiar temperature has spread over the soles of my feet and over my ankles, the familiar touch over my knees and my thighs. In this moment, I recalled the same grandeur of the first round of the old days, and the desperation of having to stand for a whole morning in soaked clothes, and that the "damp" form would be transmitted to thousands of homes by faithful electronic signals......
