The 32-16 rounds of the knockout stage of the World Championship have officially ended.

The list of those who advanced to the round of 16 was also directly announced on the league's official website.

As long as you go one step further, you will succeed in obtaining the title of "Eight Masters".

And the exciting battles presented in the first round of the match also made the World Championship a hot spot for the world.

Even those who don't care much about trainer battles will inevitably hear some discussion about tournaments everywhere they go.

Footage of the first round of the tournament is also shown in all corners of the direct location.

It is precisely under such heat.

The players who successfully advanced to the top 16 began the real "Eight Masters" battle under the expectation of the public.

"The audience, let everyone wait for a long time! Next, our real 'Eight Masters' event will begin. ”

The host's enthusiastic voice spread throughout the entire huge arena.

Under the eager gaze of the audience, the second round of the knockout round officially began in such cheers like a tsunami.

"First of all. The first battle will be played against our Joto Champion Yulongdu Player, and our Battle Pioneer Zone Battle Pyramid Leader Kamiyo Player!! ”

The cheers shook the earth, and the screams came and went.

In the passage of players on both sides.

The red-haired young man in the cloak hunted with his hands waving his hands and baring his white teeth.

And the other side.

Kamiyo, who has always had a serious expression, also has a hint of a smile on his face at this moment.

A battle between the champion and the head of the Pioneer Zone.

This is not just a world championship, but also, to a certain extent, represents a battle between the two systems of the league.

Watari can represent the league champion, and Kamiyo is fully qualified to represent every leader of the Frontier Zone.

"It has always been a big regret for me not to be able to play against Mr. Kamiyo at the last Masters." Wataru stopped fiddling with his cloak and said earnestly.

Kamiyo bowed slightly, "If you want to go further, you'd better do your best." ”

Simple pre-game communication.

As the flag in the referee's hand fell, a "battle begins" sounded.

The competition for the "Eight Masters" also officially started from this moment.

"Come on, Regis Chiru!" Kamiyo throws the Poké Ball in his hand.

"Reggie—"

The red light flashed, and the "Steel God Pillar" Regis Chiru appeared strongly, breaking and shattering a large number of rock cones in the "Rock Field".

As a steel-based mythical beast, Regis Chiru has a good restraint effect on both dragon and flying elves.

It's a very good and suitable starter.

The smile on Wataru's face was even more severe.

He guessed the choice of the first-hand elf of Kamiyo.

"Please, my companion, Charizard! Use, hot air! ”

Roar –

The appearance of Watari's initial elf, Charizard, made Kamiyo's first-hand Regis Chiru have an advantage, but instead turned it into a disadvantage.

That's one of the fun parts of the 4-of-6 battle, where you pick your starting spirit based on what your opponent shows.

And this choice of start, to a large extent, will have a greater impact on the situation of the entire battle.

But at this time, if the god chooses to replace the elf, it will undoubtedly become more disadvantageous.

The battle that belongs to Wataru and the god generation has also directly entered the white-hot from the beginning.

"Mr. Kamiyo's elves don't actually need to guess, the three god pillars are his signature, as long as you roughly guess the order of appearance. In this regard, Mr. Wataru has a great advantage. ”

In the box, Crimson watched the battle unfold.

"Don't underestimate these top trainers of the older generation." Xia Yan said with a smile.

"Huh?"

Crimson looked at Xia Yan with a little confusion.

"Natsuhiko probably wants to say that seeing Charizard appear in advance will allow Mr. Kamiyo's 'Ice God Pillar' Reggie Ace to gain more room for operation and more possibilities for targeting, right?"

Shirona made a certain guess about Xia Yan's words.

"Ice God Pillar" Reggie Ace?

Crimson rubbed her chin slightly.

"Most of Mr. Watari's elves are restrained by the ice type four times, while the steel-based Regis Chiru can resist dragon moves, but it is certainly not as threatening as the ice elves. Mr. Kamiyo deliberately used Regis Chiru as a bait to lure Charizard into the scene. ”

Teal chimed in.

When it came to the ice restraint crossing, he also subconsciously glanced at Kona who was sitting on the sofa next to him.

In terms of tactical understanding and interpretation of the battle, three or four red horses can't catch up with the green.

"That's what it is....... I prejudged your prejudgment? ”

Ah Jin, who had been eliminated, suddenly appeared.

"So, it seems that Mr. Wataru predicted Mr. Kamiyo's first-hand, but in fact, it was Mr. Kamishiro who deliberately left a trap for Mr. Wataru?"

Crimson also slowly reacted.

"Not necessarily." Daigo said with a smile.

"Why?"

"Because ......" Xia Yan finally spoke again, looking at the confident young man on the field, his best friend, and continued:

"The premise of all this is that Mr. Kamiyo's Regis Chiru can bring enough threats to the Charizard, and even cause enough damage to be effective."

Everyone who heard the words nodded.

That's the truth.

No matter how powerful the tactical planning of the god is, if it can't play the desired effect, then this tactic will undoubtedly be greatly reduced.

And in fact.

It was indeed as Natsuhiko had guessed.

Kamiyo misestimated Watari's Charizard strength.

In other words, Wataru and his Charizard's strength increased faster than Kamiyo expected.

When Kamidai's Regis Chiru was defeated by Watari's Charizard and did not cause enough damage to Charizard, the initiative of the battle situation completely fell into Watari's hands.

Ultimately.

"Let's congratulate! The birth of the first 'master' of this World Championship! He is the champion from the Johto region - the Dragon Crossing!! ”

"Dodo! Dodo! ”

"Crossing the champion! Crossing the Champion! ”

"Royal Dragon Crossing! Royal Dragon Crossing! ”

The audience also frantically celebrated the appearance of this first 'master'.

It's just that in this cheer, "Dodo", which originated from Xia Yan's nickname for Du, made this cheer that should be very exciting, a little more knowing smile.

...

Wataru successfully advanced to the "Eight Masters".

Once the Circle is cleared, the second battle will take place shortly.

Shirona VS Adek!

It's also a very interesting matchup.

Although, Adek is the champion of the United Regions, and Sirona is only the Four Heavenly Kings of the Sinnoh Region.

But anyone with a discerning eye knows it.

The reason why Shirona is the Four Heavenly Kings is only because there is a Natsuhiko in the Sinnoh region.

Without the presence of Natsuhiko, the champion of the Sinnoh region would have fallen on Sirona's head without any doubt.

Because she has such ability and strength.

So.

There used to be many people who said that the Guandu region was strong, because the Guandu region was full of talents, and it would be very, very difficult to become the Four Heavenly Kings or continue to climb up, which could be called the hell mode of the trainer.

But now.

People don't talk much about the Guandu alliance anymore as hell mode.

Because the title of "Hell Mode" has been crowned on the head of the Sinnoh Alliance.

Think about it.

Even if other regions want to challenge the "road to champion", at most, they will fight three to four four heavenly kings and then one championship.

But what about the Sinnoh League's path to victory?

Not to mention the strength of the four heavenly kings of Daye, Aliu, and Kikuno, just Sirona is a big mountain and a moat.

Even if it really took a lot of effort to win Sirona, there was an even more terrifying Xia Yan behind him.

It's not hell, where is it?

So.

Sirona and Adek seem to be kings fighting champions, but in fact they are champions fighting champions.

It's not just one or two points.

"Sirona and Mr. Adek, who do you fancy Natsuhiko?" Daigo asked suddenly.

"Sirona."

In this regard, Xia Yan did not hesitate to say his conclusion.

Hearing this, Du raised his eyebrows.

"So confident?"

saw Xia Yan grinning, "My self-confidence comes from you." It doesn't matter if it's Sirona, or you're Du, or you're Daigo, or it's Kona. When asked about your fights, I don't hesitate to be on your side. ”

Nonsense.

Now the people in their small group, Xia Yan can be said to be 100% stronger than they originally had.

And.

It's probably more than that.

Adek is a very strong champion.

But if you really want to say it, it's actually a little worse than Fengfeng Wataru and Shirona and Daigo.

Not to mention.

Now they are stronger than the so-called "peak" in Xia Yan's impression.

"And what if we fight you?" Dawu changed his words.

Xia Yan's expression was grim.

After several people stared at him for a long time, he slowly spit out a sentence, "I win." And one hundred percent. ”

Everyone: "..."

Kona couldn't help but mutter, "A man's mouth, a deceitful ghost." ”

"It's not. Xia Yan's problem, don't involve all of us. Wataru heard her muttering.

Kona glanced at him angrily.

"You're not as good as Senior Xia Yan."

Xia Yan: "??? ”

Watar: "??? ”

"Kona, the word 'inferior', you explain it to me."

"Why am I not as good as Xia Yan."

Natsuhiko and Wataru spoke almost at the same time.

Then they subconsciously glanced at each other again.

And at the same time pointing at each other.

"Compare me to him?"

"Am I inferior to him?"

Kona suddenly laughed, "A fight? ”

saw Xia Yan waving his hand, "Sooner or later, we will meet." ”

"You beat your round first, and then let's talk about it. Don't even enter the 'Eight Masters' in the 'Young Generation'. ”

Xia Yan was silent.

It's not that Wataru deliberately looks down on him too much.

It's really because the opponents he met in this round of lottery are really so many hundred million....... Difficulty.

Because, his opponent in this round is Sakaki!

Yes.

Team Rocket Leader Sakaki!

Now Sakaki's identity is basically semi-public.

It's normal for Wataru and the others to know.

Zhengda's participation in this world championship is also the identity of the owner of the Tokiwa City Gym.

And for the strength of Sakaki.

It is estimated that in addition to Xia Yan, Du knows best.

To win.

It's really not just talking.

And.

According to Sakaki's battle with Xiaoyin in the last round of the knockout round, he doesn't seem to be ready to release water or keep his hands.

"What, scared?"

Seeing that Natsuhiko didn't speak, Wataru asked again.

Xia Yan glared at him angrily.

Which pot is not opened, which pot is mentioned.

"What is there to be afraid of. If it really doesn't work, I'll form a team of divine beasts to go up. ”

Hearing this, everyone opened their mouths at the same time.

I didn't know what to say for a while.

In the end, I can only give a thumbs up.

Meanwhile.

The battle between Sirona and Adek has also come to an end.

"Vulcan Moth, Fire Dance!"

Whew-

The flaming butterflies fluttering their wings covered most of the arena like a sea of mountains.

Each butterfly looks very vivid, and the fire energy contained in it must not be underestimated.

The other side.

Sirona's face was serious, and with a wave of her big hand, she whispered: "This is the last, the fierce bite of the land shark, the dragon's swoop!" ”

Roar——!!

As Sirona's trump card, the Fierce Bite Land Shark also shines in this battle.

Picked two elves of Adik in a row, if you count this Vulcan moth, it is a string of three.

No way.

Fire spirits pose little threat to the Fierce Bite Land Shark.

However, the ground system of the fierce bite land shark has a great restraint effect on the fire spirits.

Plus the ground rocks do not separate homes.

The Fierce Bite Land Shark is also extremely destructive.

Grasping the opponent's weaknesses and weaknesses and slamming them is what Sirona is good at.

After all.

She also learned some use of "changing defense" tactics from Xia Yan.

The "switch defense" tactic requires the trainer to be able to identify and find the opponent's shortcomings and weaknesses.

Ambilight intertwined, and the ferocious dragon tore through the barrier of the raging flames, and slammed head-on into the body of the Vulcan Moth.

"Vulcan Moth has lost its ability to fight! So the winner is - Shirona contestant! ”

"Roar——!!!

As the referee announced the result, the crowd cheered again.

"Let's congratulate the second player to enter the 'Eight Masters', the Celestial King of Sirona from the Sinnoh region!"

And the final score was also fixed on "4:2".

Sirona's advantage is still great.

Especially the string of three that bites the land shark fiercely at the end.

...

Sirona also managed to win the title of 'Eight Masters' and advance to the real master level.

Over time.

The change in the sky did not affect the enthusiasm of the audience.

The moon, glowing with a shimmering light, slowly rises over the western horizon.

When the last rays of the setting sun faded into view, the moon finally cast its light veil on the vast land of Galel.

But.

The torch burning above the palace gate arena still emitted its blazing fire.

The next one.

It's the last one of the day.

At present, three "masters" have been decided, namely Wataru, Shirona, and Crimson.

Yes, Crimson also won against his opponent, the champion from the United Territories, Karunai.

And the next one is also a very high-profile game.

Just because.

The name of one of the contestants is called Natsuhiko!

And his opponents.

The owner of the gym from Tokiwa City, Kanto Prefecture, and the only remaining gym owner, Sakaki!

Champion VS Gym Owner?

If it is said.

At the beginning, the audience may have thought that Sakaki, the "mediocre" gym owner, was lucky to be able to enter the knockout round.

Then after the first round of the battle with Xiaoyin, no one felt like this.

This is really a very strong and ........ A charismatic gym owner.。

This can be seen from the fact that after the last round of battles, he actually gained a lot of supporters.

Of course.

He already has a lot of supporters.

After all, although the name "Daichi Sakaki" is unknown in the Galar area, it has been heard in other areas such as the Kanto area, or in areas that are relatively close to the Kanto area.

Another example......

"Boss Sakaki!"

"Come on!!"

"Boss Sakaki!"

"Winning !!"

"Boss Sakaki!"

"Mighty !!"

In the corner of the arena, there is such a group of people.

They wore the same uniforms, and with a kind of discipline that was perfect for the average audience, they were led by a girl with short purple shoulder-length hair, and they uniformly oiled Sakaki.

Just look at it.

Very professional.

And, very excited.

And this girl who takes the lead is naturally Sakaki's secretary, Matori.

At this point, her face flushed, and she was indescribably excited.

This is the first time that Sakaki, the leader of their Rockets, has participated in a tournament that covers the whole world in his real capacity.

Even, even the opponent is Xia Yan, the highest cadre of their Rocket team.

How could this not make her excited.

"You're here."

Under the attention of the audience, Sakaki, who was already standing on the side of the battlefield, saw Xia Yan who was slowly stepping on, and said with a grin.

Xia Yan nodded slightly.

Out of the corner of his eye, he subconsciously glanced at the six elves prepared by Sakaki on the big screen.

When he saw the first one, the corners of Xia Yan's eyes twitched.

Needle bee .......

Sakaki really didn't mean to release water this time.

Its ace elf needle bee and Xia Yan's ace elf needle bee, which one is the strongest needle bee in the world today, I am afraid that I will have to come to a conclusion in this competition.

In addition to the big needle bee, the rest of Sakaki's elves are: Earth Cloud, Nidohou, Thysupial Beast, Fierce Bite Land Shark, and Bankiras!

A true luxury lineup!

Seeing Sakaki's lineup, Xia Yan immediately felt a lot of pressure.

However, after seeing the lineup he released, Xia Yan suddenly felt a lot more relieved.

"Natsuhiko is also in the lineup. It seems that the pressure on Sakaki is really not small. ”

Everyone in the box also looked at the elves listed by Xia Yan.

There is no doubt that in the first position, it is Natsuhiko's big needle bee that echoes with Sakaki's big needle bee.

"Hmm." Sirona gently brushed her loose hair behind her ears and continued to look down, "Pokkeis, Doronbaruto, Flame Monkey....... They are all elves who can't perform super evolution and don't have super giantization, and it seems that Xia Yan has also determined his strengthening hand. ”

"Wait!"

Suddenly.

Wataru interrupted Sirona's words.

I saw his eyes widen slightly, pointing to the huge screen.

Beneath the flaming monkey was a pitch-black figure, with flowing white hair and scarlet-like decorations, and a fifth elf was about to emerge.

Darkrai!

"Isn't that Darkrai? What a fuss......." Ah Jin pursed his lips and couldn't help but complain.

Darkrai is just that, and Mr. Natsuhiko hasn't been summoned in the battle in the world of the special chapter.

"Huh?"

It's just that.

Ah Jin blinked his eyes and said with a little doubt: "It turns out that Mr. Xia Yan, is there still a wind speed dog?" And it's a heterochromatic white light wind speed dog? I don't think I've seen it, have you seen it? ”

"Hehe-" Teal chuckled meaningfully.

Laughing, Ah Jin couldn't help but shrink his neck, recalling the "past" that was dominated by green at the beginning.

"What do you mean?"

"You call it the White Wind Dog?" The banter on the green face was even stronger.

Sirona pursed her lips.

I remembered what I had experienced with Natsuhiko in the Alola region.

It was like a new day "devouring the beast of the sun".

"If I'm not mistaken, it's supposed to be called....... Solgaleo? ”

"Solgaleo?"

In the box, red, green, Ah Jin and others looked at each other.

Wataru and Daigo had strange expressions.

Boy.

Originally, it was an ordinary world championship, and when you opened the green onion guerrilla in the first round, it became the "green onion guerrilla sword and shield king form", at least it used the green onion guerrilla as a reason, which was somewhat disguised.

But now?

I don't even pretend to be installed, so it's just a showdown, right?

Solgaleo, is that a serious elf?!

Sakaki, who also saw Natsuhiko, the last elf, lost his control a little bit in his expression.

Rao is that as the leader of Team Rocket, he is used to seeing all kinds of winds and waves.

But the kind of divine beast that moved the divine beast to the competition, cough, the kind of divine beast of the first-level god, it's really the first time I've seen it.

Fortunately.

Sakaki deserves to be Sakaki, and his psychological quality is outstanding.

After quickly digesting this information, he looked towards Xia Yan.

But I saw Natsuhiko rubbing his nose while replying to the "friendly" gaze cast by Sakaki.

"Boss Sakaki, you know me, I'm a very steady person. Well, it should be said that it is very robust. ”

Sakaki: "..."

The corners of his eyes began to twitch.

"Besides. Aren't you also ready for the land cloud? I'm here, I'm going to have a Darkrai, I'm going to have a Solgaleo, what's the problem? It's not all mythical beasts and phantom beasts or something. ”

Any questions?

Although the land cloud is a divine beast, it can barely be compared with Darkrai, but compared with Solgaleo, take the head?!

But no matter how he thought about it, Sakaki knew that Natsuhiko was right about what he said.

He's really steady.

In the face of not preparing a team of divine beasts, he is already very ....... It's a wave.

forcibly pressed down Sakaki, who led the rocket team to "rise up", and kept admonishing himself in his heart.

'The person you choose, even if it's a little unacceptable, will be finished on your knees! ’

And.

Sakaki, who "has to be strong all his life", will not lose his momentum at this time.

After calming your mind.

"Satisfied" nodded, the corners of his mouth quivering slightly.

"It's just a divine beast, and it's not that it hasn't been killed."

In the face of such a "confident" Sakaki.

Xia Yan's expression also became very serious all of a sudden.

Sloppy.

The two brothers, Leshiram and Zekrom, should be called as well.
