Twenty-five Double Open!

Speaking of the competition system, there are fewer and fewer games that are now used in the knockout round, and most of the games are now beginning to adopt a double-elimination system, from the player's point of view, it is to give the players a second chance, from the economic point of view, although the schedule has been extended, the cost has increased, but the number of games has increased, the income of the audience has also increased, and in general, it is also earned, and from the perspective of the audience, there are more games to watch, and you can also see a drama similar to the revenge war, so I am also happy to accept such a system. It can be said that the double-elimination system has many advantages in various aspects over the simple win-in-lose-knock-out system. However, the World Championship has always adopted an elimination system at this point. Although the game pattern has also changed during this period, the fact that you can only lose once and be eliminated has basically not changed. Although one of the reasons is also because the World Championship originally gathered so many players, the schedule is already very long, and the schedule will be even longer if the double-elimination format is adopted, but in Aaron's view, this is also related to the theme of the World Championship. Originally, tournaments were tournaments in which the champions of different regional tournaments gathered together for a decisive battle, but because time has passed, the World Championship has evolved into a competition in which the strongest players are selected as a national unit. Then, although the format has changed, the main idea has not changed, and the goal is to select the strongest. Before the development of technology, Pokémon trainers were basically equated with soldiers, and defeat is equal to death, so why can you, who have already lost once, "died" once, continue to participate in the competition that only belongs to the winner? Of course, it is entirely possible that Aaron is thinking too much.

"Well, I haven't really asked yet, so let's tell me your goal first. Then, Ah Long and Xiao Yan were on their way to Field A, and Xiao Yan asked. There are a total of 178 participating countries this time, and it is roughly estimated that there are still more than 800 doubles combinations, counting him 800 teams, 8 venues, 100 teams in one venue, and then 2 teams will be decided in each venue, which is about 5 to 6 matches.

"Yes, since you participated, the goal is naturally to be the champion. Aaron spoke.

"Well, judging from the people on our side, the two of us are indeed pretty good, and the tricky ones are the little couple of Blake and White. No, I can't say that I am a young couple, but I feel that they will probably get married after the end of this World Series. Xiao Yan said. During these training days, I naturally had many practice matches with the other 4 teams on my side, and then the highest winning rate was the combination of my own side and Blake White.

"Ah, I feel that way when I say this, but even if I say that they are husband and wife now, there is no sense of disobedience. "It should be said that since I got married, I feel that my horizons have broadened a lot, and Ah Long has become able to see a lot of signs of this kind of thing.

"So, you also want to play with Xiao Yao?"

"First of all, I'm not unhappy that your teammate is you. ”

"If you say that, I'll believe it. But the real enemy is certainly not Blake and White, there are many strong doubles combinations on an international scale, and it is those gringos that are worth watching. However, unlike four years ago, we can now use the same combat methods that people used against us. Even though this year's World Championship explicitly forbade Aaron to use Rockia, Sherabi, and that Pokémon called Mewtwo. Xiao Yan continued. Then it should be said that this is the first time that a certain Pokémon of a certain trainer has been banned from participating in the tournament on an international scale. Aaron's Lokia, Shellabi, and Mewtwo were banned, along with Xiao Yi's Deochisis, Xiao Yong's Regichkas, and Xiao Mao's Dream, even though Xiao Mao would not participate in the world competition. It's because those Pokémon are too powerful. To get back to the truth, the kind of combat method that Xiao Yan refers to naturally refers to that.

"I may not have made much progress, but you've really gotten a lot stronger, unlike four years ago when you had to find a way to turn around. We're also able to fight a little more extravagantly. ”

"Yes, it's a simple suppression of combat power, but it can only be used against opponents like the next first game. Aaron also replied calmly.

When he came to the arena, many spectators gave people the feeling that they hadn't left the arena just after eating, just to occupy a position to watch him compete for a day. Ah Long and Xiao Yan entered, and immediately the audience began to applaud, speaking of which, it is true that the doubles on their side reached the top 8 in the last tournament, and the top eight in the World Series, perhaps they can already call their side "world-class doubles", so it is not surprising to think that the audience applauded their side. But......

"I don't know how these spectators will react when they know that the two of us don't usually practice doubles together except at the World Championships. Speaking of which, it still feels a little strange when I think about it now, did we really win the world quarterfinals in doubles before?" Xiao Yan seemed to have thought of a place with Ah Long.

"yes, I guess, because I remember it like that. In fact, it's not so much that we are good at doubles, but rather that we set up more sets for others, and there is also personal ability. ”

"Four years ago, our personal ability, it may indeed be like that, although I don't feel very good, but in the world we may still be quite strong, after all, there is a system advantage. But if you think about it this way, we can't say that we don't get a better ranking this time. Xiao Yan suddenly looked at Ah Long with a smile.

"You don't need to put pressure on me from now on, you have to work hard. Aaron also sighed and said. Then it was also in the conversation between Ah Long and Xiao Yao that the opponent arrived unconsciously. The opponent is also two yellow people, to be honest, just looking at the national flag Aaron does not know the nationality of these two players, and the results of the investigation of the players are only opponents and not a big deal. The result of the draw was that the opponent attacked first, and the opponent called out the combination of Hudi and Blastoise.

"Is this aimed at us? What should we do?What lineup does ABCDE use?" said Xiao Yan after looking at his opponent's Pokémon. After all, if you want to choose between the two of them, it is obvious that Ah Long is the brain.

"Yes, if the goal is to surpass the quarterfinals, then none of the five sets are needed, but the opponent at this level does not need to expose our hole cards. Ah Long said, and Xiao Yan also laughed when he heard this.

"Same as I thought, then, Night Dark Devil!" Xiao Yan called out the Pokémon, and Aaron glanced at it.

"Come on, lightning bird!" and then Aaron called the lightning bird directly!

"Hey, hey, you said you don't need to be serious, did you just call your lightning bird out?"

"Well, there is no need, but the other party is also a representative of the country, and the strength can be seen not to be too bad, and a real victory is also necessary. And in order for the opponent to focus all their attention on my main team, especially the three gods, it is very important for both doubles and other matches in the future. ”

"That's what it means, then I understand, then I'll be a supporting role, so that your lightning bird can shine. After Xiao Yan confirmed Ah Long's thoughts, he also replied calmly.

With the referee's order, even if you don't hear what he says, what the whistle represents is still clear. The opponent's Hu Di began to work immediately after the whistle, and immediately, the Night Dark Devil's body was wrapped in light, and the other side of the Blastoise also immediately fired a water cannon, directly hitting the Night Dark Devil! The Night Dark Demon wanted to dodge, but the power of the illusion was greater than it thought.

"In that case, use Shadow Strike!"

The Night Devil suddenly vanished!, but everyone understood that the Night Devil did not disappear, but infiltrated his own shadow, so even though there was nothing above, there was still a striking black shadow on the ground. The Night Dark Devil who had infiltrated the shadow began to move towards the Blastoise at high speed, and when Hu Di saw this, he immediately used his illusion spell on the shadow on the ground! After entering the shadow, although the speed increased, the strength would be greatly reduced, so after being entangled by Hu Di's illusion, he immediately stopped moving, and the Blastoise also re-erected the barrel and aimed at the shadow on the ground.

"After entering the shadow, he was controlled by the illusion technique, but he couldn't even come out of the shadow, probably the other party was complacent and took one first. Xiao Yan was behind, saying in a boring tone. Xiao Yan still appreciated the fact that the other party's Hu Di was able to react so quickly and catch the night black demon who was moving irregularly and at high speed in the shadows, but the other two completely focused their attention here, completely ignoring Ah Long's lightning bird, Xiao Yan didn't know what to evaluate at all.

Suddenly, it was a sunny day but thunder and lightning roared, and several lightning bolts fell from the sky, and then I have to say that this Hu Di was really very good, and he actually reacted to something that his trainer didn't even react to, and he made an instant move at the last moment, avoiding the lightning! The lightning struck the Blastoise vertically from above, and before the Blastoise could even wail, it was stunned and fell. And Hu Di had just escaped the other party's ultimate, and he also had a feeling of panic, and he just wanted to slow down, but he seemed to realize something, and he didn't care about anything else, and immediately made an instantaneous move. Probably even his trainer didn't understand why he suddenly teleported when there were no skills around him. Then, as if to explain his actions, the Night Dark Man slowly manifested himself in Hu Digang's position.

"The other party definitely didn't use illusion just now, probably just by breath alone. Sure enough, very keen, that Hudi. Xiao Yan said again.

"Ah, yes, that Hudi can definitely become strong in the future, but for now, we still win. Aaron also said calmly. Originally, it was still the appearance of the opponent's advantage, but in just a moment, the form was completely reversed. It can only be said that this is a game that is finally worthy of the honor of "last quarterfinals".
