Xia You walked out of the arena and joined Lijia and the others outside the venue.

Although he successfully advanced to the semi-finals, Ash and Xiaoxia have both been eliminated from the tournament and have no way to continue to participate in the competition.

Now only his lone seedling is left, and all the hopes of several people are focused on him alone.

To be honest, this was something that Ash and Xiaoxia, who were full of confidence before the game, did not expect, originally they thought that they could show their strength and achieve a better result by participating in this kind of local event!

Looking at it now, it is still my own strength and I have not been able to achieve the expected goals.

For such a result, the two of them are inevitably a little discouraged, especially for Ash, it is indeed a blow.

After all, he has always regarded Xia You as the person he admires the most and his biggest competitor!

When he traveled in the Orange Islands, he, like Xia You, defeated Yuji successively and became an honorary trainer of the Orange Alliance, which also made him think that he was once again on the same starting line with Xia You, and he could compete with Xia You!

Especially after coming to the city, he not only conquered many Pokémon during his travels, but also won the grass Pokémon tournament, and won many victories in a series of other small competitions, which greatly increased his confidence!

I'm stronger than ever! The gap with Brother Xia You is definitely getting smaller and smaller!

This is something that Ash has been firmly believing in for a while, and this is also the confidence for him to dare to challenge Xia You in this cup!

It's just that he didn't expect to fight a few times, but the cruel reality pulled him back to reality again!

He once again stopped in the round of 16 like the quartz conference!

Although on the one hand, because his opponent is Xiaoxia, and Xiaoxia is good at using water-based Pokémon, he will unexpectedly lose to her Da Duck, but if he hasn't fought before, he has never fought, and it can only be said that his strength is really poor, which does not need to be quibbled.

Fortunately, he has always been big-hearted and has already adjusted, but what makes him feel very puzzled is that Xiaoxia has just lost the game, why does she look so happy? Instead, a radiant look!?

It's just that no matter how much he asked, Xiaoxia just looked at him with a smug smile, without any idea of wanting to explain! Only when she looked at Xia You, there seemed to be an inexplicable emotion flashing in her eyes!

The change was so obvious that even he could feel it, but unfortunately, the simple Ash didn't know what the emotion was.

And without knowing why, he could only keep this question in his heart.

However, although they were eliminated, the three of them did not have the idea of leaving here directly, but planned to wait until tomorrow after watching Xia You's game before continuing to travel.

After all, as friends, partners, younger brothers, and competitors, they naturally cared about Xia You's situation very much, and Xia You was still competing, how could they leave him alone!

Scratching his head, Xiao Zhi turned his head to look at Xiao Gang and asked, "Brother Xia You's competition is all over today, right?" What's tomorrow's schedule?"

Xiao Gang took out the manual issued by the previous cup and turned a few pages back: "I'll see... According to the process, tomorrow morning there will be the semi-finals, the top two players will be decided, and one o'clock in the afternoon will be the final final, which will determine the final winner, that is, the Brave of the Sea, and after that, it will be the blessing ceremony of the Brave of the Sea, if it goes well, we will be able to leave here with the trophy and honor the morning after tomorrow."

Just like Xiaoxia, Xiao Gang, who has a certain understanding of Xia You, also firmly believes that Xia You will win the final victory.

After all, he also knew very well in his heart that Xia Youke was completely different from Xiao Zhi and Xiao Xia, he was the kind of person who was very strong in his own right, and he would not give his opponent a chance!

The most important thing is that they also know that Xia You has that red tyrannosaurus, how can he lose if he has it!

On the side, listening to the conversation and laughter of several people around him, Xia You's heart felt extremely relaxed and comfortable at this time.

After coming to this world, he was like a rootless duckweed for a while, with neither any concern nor any support, but

Now, he has friends, partners, and lovers, and their trust, their love, makes him more and more fond of the world, and will undoubtedly make him stronger!

Under the blue sky, the white clouds drifted slowly, just like his mood at this time.

It's just that somehow, Xia You always feels as if he is missing something.

If you think about it, this competition was indeed too smooth and too calm, just like eating a delicious meal and finding that some appetizers were missing, it felt a bit of a fly in the ointment!

Why is this so?

Xia You was puzzled in his heart, and it wasn't until he looked at Xiao Zhi that he suddenly realized that something was missing!

I'm talking about it, it turns out that there is no team rocket trio that is inseparable from Ash......

Without their troubles, this cup is undoubtedly a little less lively.

But those guys are all people who are not willing to be lonely, and when they encounter this kind of lively thing, they shouldn't be so calm at all.

Come to think of it, they must be hiding nearby, brewing some big action!

……

In fact, Xia You's right idea.

Team Rocket did follow Ash and they came to the Vortex Islands early, and even the trio had already disguised themselves as small traders and infiltrated the arena, and after the competition in the past few days, they have made a lot of money by selling popcorn and cold drinks.

Of course, making money is not their goal, in fact, they have already targeted the scepter held in the hand of the great priest Maya!

The reason why they haven't come out to make trouble until now is because of their previous covert operation, which increased the number of guards on the viewing platform many times, and until now, they have not found the right time!

But as the game approached, they became more and more restless!

In the middle of the field, the competition is not over at this time, and the two contestants are fighting for the last semi-final spot.

And in a corner of the audience that no one noticed, a trio of Team Rocket dressed as convenience store clerks were squatting and putting their heads together,

"Did you just see that?" Meowth whispered.

"Of course I do." Kojiro sighed, "I haven't seen you for a while, that guy Xia Yu seems to have become stronger, and he defeated his opponent so easily, it seems that he is the champion this time!" Alas, with him here, it will be much more difficult for us to snatch that scepter again!"

Hearing him say this, Musashi couldn't help but glare at him fiercely, "What? You want to give up!?"

Taken aback by Musashi's momentum, Kojiro quickly shrank his head.

"When... Of course not...... It's just that I think we should be careful with our plans......

"You two don't want to escape, do you!?" Musashi's eyes were half-squinted, and there seemed to be a cold light flickering in them, and the meaning of warning was self-evident, "What can that guy Xia Yu do here? He's busy with the game right now, so how can he have the leisure to meddle in his business!? And you two don't be too afraid of him, we're Team Rocket, how can we back down when we see him!"

That being said, Kojiro was extremely reluctant to be an enemy of Natsuyu.

It's just that because of her ***, he and Meow Meow had to quickly shake their heads and deny: "Of course we're not afraid of him, we're just thinking... Did we steal that scepter to sell it for money? But haven't we made a lot of money these days? I don't think it's going to be so risky......

Meow Meow also looked approving: "That's to say, meow... Xia You's guy is very difficult to mess with, so we'd better stay away from him......

"I think you've been scared by him, right?" Musashi tilted his head and glanced at Kojiro and Meow, "I've made up my mind, I must take that scepter this time!" Look at its golden branches, especially the soul of the sea on it, how beautiful it is! I'm determined to succeed in this operation, and neither of you is allowed to drop the chain! Ah~ That kind of beautiful gem, only I can deserve it in the world! Hmph, it's here to make me more beautiful! Aha~"

Musashi laughed wildly without hesitating the image,

She was completely immersed in her own imagination, as if the soul of the sea had fallen into her hands!

Kojiro and Meow Meow have long been accustomed to her appearance, and although Musashi seems to have a vision of the soul of the sea, they are still inevitably a little worried.

One person and one Pokémon look at each other, and they can see deep worry in each other's eyes.

Kojiro said tentatively, "But... The theft notice we left behind didn't seem to have the effect it should have, but it made them more vigilant......

"That's what I want!" Musashi's eyes flashed, and he said confidently, "That's where my genius comes in! The more vigilant they are, the more security personnel they have, the more they will feel safe, and the more they will let their guard down at critical moments, and then! It's our chance!"

Hearing her explanation, Kojiro and Meow Meow suddenly realized.

"I see, you're so smart! So, can we just wait?"

……

When all the top 4 are decided, the next battle list will be released immediately.

In the first half, Gao Mei will play against a female trainer, while in the second half, Xia You will play against the second favorite named Ah Zhe!

The winner of the two battles will be in the final tomorrow afternoon to determine the final Warrior of the Sea.

After having dinner with Ash, in the dining room, several people sit at the table and study his next opponent together.

Because a large number of trainers were eliminated, many players did not stay to continue watching the game, but chose to leave here directly, so that the Pokémon Center instantly vacated a lot of rooms.

Although the sleeping environment has dropped a lot, it also allows him to focus more on his opponents.

They watched Ah Zhe's battle video a few times, and according to his Pokémon performance, everyone said a word, and soon discovered a lot of things.

Lijia's insight, Xiaogang's analysis, Xiaoxia's vision, and Xiaozhi's flash of inspiration, these people together, basically didn't need Xia You's action, they simply discussed a lot of things, and almost looked at Ah Zhe's bottoms.

This made Xia You couldn't help but feel a moment of silence for Ah Zhe.

In terms of strength, Ah Zhe is on par with Gao Mei, maybe a little stronger, but it will definitely not be his opponent, plus Xiao Zhi's analysis, almost all the advantages and disadvantages of his Pokémon have been found!

I have to say that with the help of these people, Ah Zhe's win rate has plummeted, and unless his Pokémon play abnormally, it is almost impossible for him to defeat himself!

That's right, that's how confident!

This night, both Gao Mei and Ah Zhe couldn't sleep, and they hardly rested, only Xia You slept more sweetly.

[The app that has been running stably for many years is comparable to the old version of the book-chasing artifact, which is used by old bookworms.]

Send out two Pokémon.

Facing Xia You's Blastoise, Ah Zhe sent a swamp king to deal with it.

Xia You passed his previous game videos, until this swamp king appeared many times in the game, and he had a strong strength, and he was almost equal to Ah Zhe's other Pokémon, and together he helped Ah Zhe successfully reach the semi-finals.

As a kind of Pokémon with water and ground attributes, the Swamp King has a slightly fat blue body, which is always slippery, and its two eyes like black spots look dull, looking somewhat similar to the Changeling.

Usually, the Numa Kings have a somewhat laid-back personality, they will open their mouths in the water and quietly wait for the food to jump in by themselves, because they don't move much, so their stomachs are not very hungry.

Because the feeling is a little dull, sometimes even if they hit something, they don't care at all.

But don't let that fool you!

The strength of Pokémon like the Swamp King is relatively strong in itself, and in the hands of the trainer, they can exert their power even more!
