Chapter 672: League of Champions
Daigo's popularity is not at all lower than that of Mikoli.
Hoen's premier regional champion, the first person to evolve in the media, is also the noble son of tech giant Dewen.
Many identity blessings have given him the ability to fascinate thousands of girls.
The moment he got out of the car.
A tsunami-like shout suddenly sounded around them.
"Champion! Champion! ”
"Champion Daigo!"
A pair of fiery eyes were firmly locked on Daigo, shouting his name and title as if he were a religious scene, raising the banner and fan card in his hand and swaying constantly.
Strangely, even without the assistance of the Alliance staff.
The audience in front of the entrance still spontaneously made way for Daigo to make way for him, and their eyes were full of admiration and longing.
No doubt.
That's what a regional championship weighs into.
The strongest person who stands at the top of the Hoenn Trainer Pyramid is deeply respected by all trainers who love Pokémon battles.
The glory belongs to him alone.
Daigo smiled and waved to the surrounding audience, just standing in place, a powerful aura inexplicably rose around his body, making it seem to have a spotlight on his body, sticking everyone's eyes.
"The momentum of the champion ......"
Kashiwagi secretly admired.
In the future, when he successfully becomes the champion, it would be good that the Oulei people could have half of the Hoenn people's identification with Daigo. Don't look at the fact that he has many acquaintances in Huangtie Town, how many people in the major cities of Silu City and Sumireqing Port know him?
How many people can understand what the regional champion represents like the mainstream regionals?
He silently followed Daigo into the room, and the combination of mask and cap was like a follow-up assistant, and no one cared about it at all.
Infield.
The staff is busy carrying out the final validation and commissioning.
Kashiwagi wanted to go directly to the audience, but was stopped by Daigo, saying that he wanted to introduce him to several heavenly kings outside Genji.
Daigo didn't know that he was familiar with Bonnie and Fleur.
The Hoenn champion, who has been in Carlos for the last few months, has not had much chance to meet other kings.
Kashiwagi decisively agreed.
Since he has already known three of the Four Heavenly Kings of Hoen, it is necessary to know the last Kazuki, and the diehard fan of Kazuki that he met in the previous conference left a deep impression on him.
Come to the preparation room.
Genji and the Bonnie and Fleur who met at the noodle shop in the morning are already here.
The last bald man with only a handful of red hair on his head, looking like a ruffian youth of the Black Astringent Society, was none other than the Flower Moon Heavenly King of the evil attribute.
The four of them stood or sat separately, with their Pokémon next to them, separated by a distance, and there was little communication but the atmosphere was surprisingly harmonious.
"Guys, sorry for the wait."
The corners of Daigo's mouth smiled, revealing the cypress behind him, "Let me introduce you, this is -"
"Kashiwagi."
"Give up the of the League of Champions."
Bonnie and Fleur spoke in turn, the latter making a teasing grimace.
The calm Genji bowed slightly and said hello.
Daigo and Kazuki were stunned for a moment at the same time.
"Hey, hey, hey! Have you all seen each other already? Boy, your name is Kashiwagi! ”
The Evil King stepped forward quickly, his face very close to Kashiwagi, as if he wanted to intimidate him with his eyes, but he was a little shorter in height and had to raise his head to complete the forced gaze action.
"They all know you, I don't, do you look down on me?"
"Ah......h
Kashiwagi knew that the other party had no malicious intent, but he was just unhappy to be left alone.
This can be seen from the cute appearance of the big wolf dog behind him sticking out his tongue and wagging his tail, after all, how can there be a Pokémon who is indifferent when the trainer is angry.
"Isn't there no chance, besides, there is no time to meet sooner or later, how the relationship depends on follow-up cultivation, what do you think?" Kashiwagi smiled.
Hua Yue's eyes stared at him for a long time, and the moment she moved her face back, she laughed and patted her shoulder: "Hahaha! That's a good point! I love your words! Brat! That's right! I like your three dragons too! ”
His trump card, Absolu, was met on a collapsing mountain after he had given up as a thug to begin his journey, which he saw as a life-changing destiny.
"I thank you for it."
Kashiwagi held down the Poké Ball that was shaking around his waist.
The three evil dragons can't stand the praise, and they may make some mess when they are released.
Dawu shook his head helplessly, not caring that Bonnie and Fleur had known Kashiwagi for a long time, and looked at the four of them: "Since you have been exempted from my introduction." So, guys, are you ready? ”
Like a prelude to a great war.
The Four Heavenly Kings each showed different expressions, and the Pokémon next to them quickly exuded a strong battle intent, staring at each other sharply.
Bonnie: "You'll see it at the game. ”
Fleur: "Don't underestimate the Psychic! ”
Genji: "Preparation is only the basic part of mastering power. ”
Kazuki: "Let's have a big fight!" Ha ha! ”
What's going on with this strong fighting game character's debut line?
Kashiwagi looked at Daigo in a daze.
In the face of the Four Heavenly Kings' provocative words, the champion calmly and confidently spread his hands and said, "Then, let me wait for you on the throne of the champion." ”
Let's talk about it.
Everyone strode out of the preparation room with the Pokémon.
“……”
Kashiwagi stayed in place for a while with a strange expression, and then hurriedly followed the footsteps of a few people, and on the way to the preparation room, Daigo said that he would ask the alliance to arrange a special seat for him without being disturbed by others.
He really wanted to concentrate on watching the foursome.
The format of the Champions League is more complicated, and there is a difference between the general competition and the division competition.
The overall competition is divided into those with the participation of the conference winner and the participation of the non-conference winner.
In the former, the winner of the tournament needs to challenge four kings in a row, and if they all four are defeated, they will have a chance to challenge for the regional champion.
If one of the Four Heavenly Kings defeats the tournament winner, then that Four Heavenly Kings will be eligible to challenge for the championship, and if more than one of them defeats the tournament winner, those Heavenly Kings will need to compete for the title of challenge champion.
The latter requires the Four Heavenly Kings to play a knockout match of three out of six to compete for the qualification to challenge for the championship.
The divisions are played on a quarterly basis for the League of Champions.
Each king must defeat the trainers who have received the invitation of the alliance king, and the success of defending the position can be qualified to challenge for the championship and stage the championship challenge.
The winners of the conference can participate in both championship leagues, but the former only has one chance and the latter requires an invitation.
Although the division seems to be the welfare of the Four Heavenly Kings, so far no Four Heavenly Kings have been able to reverse Tiangang and become the champion.
There are quite a few defeated trainers who were invited by the Heavenly King's invitation.
——
The scene of the competition.
The audience was already crowded.
I don't know if it's because Daigo's face is too powerful, or if the cooperation between the Hoenn Alliance and Minoru Yama was too pleasant some time ago, Kashiwagi was arranged in the special guest seat, next to Dama Lanqi and other high-level members of the alliance.
"Oh roar, roar, meet the young man again."
The white-bearded old man let out a kind laugh and said, "Even if you can't participate, you'd like to see the battle between the champion and the Four Heavenly Kings, right?" It's really unbearable~"
Dama Lanqi is known as "the greatest man in the Pokémon League" because of his outstanding contributions to the League Conference and the Champions League, and Minoru Yama frequently communicates with him privately in order to gain various experience in hosting the conference.
He also understands very well why Kashiwagi didn't participate.
Below.
In the excited shouts of the commentators, the champion Daigo and the Four Heavenly Kings all appeared on the stage, and the audience was full of voices, and the shouts that resounded throughout the world caused the entire arena to shake gently.
The enthusiasm of the audience even surpassed that of the finals of the conference.
Kashiwagi watched expectantly as Daigo, dressed in the cloak of champions, ascended the steps where the flame was located, and a large and ornate stone chair was placed in front of the flame.
The moment he sat down, it was like a king ascending the throne, countless salutes exploded, and thousands of ribbons fluttered.
A solemn symphony surrounded the venue.
This treatment!
Kashiwagi smacked his tongue, he always felt that compared to the Galel region's intention to create [the strongest champion] and [undefeated king], he was crazy to build momentum for Emperor Dan.
Other regions don't seem to have much of a champion status.
When I came to the Champions League with my own eyes, I realized that people don't need to market every day at all.
As soon as you sit on the highest and most conspicuous champion throne in the entire venue, your status and compulsion will naturally be reflected, and anyone who looks there will feel domineering and leaking.
What is the Uncrowned King?
That's it!
It's just that even if the Stone Throne is cushioned, it's not very comfortable to sit for an afternoon, right?
He was a little worried about Ohgosan's ass and waist.
Not much.
Under the watchful eye, the big screen shows the results of the computer randomly matching the two sides - Kazuki vs. Bonie, and Fleur vs. Genji.
The schedule is two games this afternoon and one game tomorrow afternoon, with six selections and three competitions.
The final championship defense match in the afternoon of the day after tomorrow, all the players will face each other.
"Ice fights evil, why isn't ice fighting dragons and ghosts fighting evil?"
Kashiwagi had a whim.
The Four Heavenly Kings in many regions seem to have a relationship of relative restraint, such as the superpowers and poison, fighting and evil in the Joto, the insects and superpowers, the ground and fire, the fighting and evil of the people, and the ghosts and superpowers.
This correspondence did not end until Carlos, who only had fire and water, and Steel, who had only resistance.
No.
Perhaps they have become a relationship of mutual resistance.
Leave it on for about twenty minutes.
Kazuki and Bonnie, who took the lead in the battle, each came to the sides of the field, and under the announcement of the referee, the two quickly sent out Pokémon-
The Great Wolfhound and the Blizzard King.
Bonnie is a master of snowy weather, and her first appearance as Blizzard King attracts a flood of white fog and fine hail.
The Great Wolfhound, on the other hand, pounced on the Blizzard King as soon as possible after triggering the intimidation trait, attacking with its blazing flaming fangs.
"Whew!"
The barking was exceptionally loud.
The unusually bright light of the fire also showed the power of this flaming fang.
Unexpectedly, the Blizzard King jumped backwards with a dexterous movement that did not match its fat body, and colored light surrounded its body, like a thin shield of light.
[Aurora Curtain], a move equivalent to a combination of a wall of light and a reflector, can only be turned on in snow.
The Great Wolfhound chose to pursue, and suddenly burst out with a rapid speed that allowed its flame fangs to bite into the Blizzard King.
But surprisingly, there was no significant effect.
As the flames exploded on the Blizzard King, the howling snowman used his mallet to disperse the smoke and slammed the wolfhound into the sky, engulfing it with a terrifying blizzard as it fell.
Lucky.
Kazuki let the big wolf dog make a stand-in as a power platform in advance, and barely avoided it, which saved him from the fate of losing a Pokémon in the opening three minutes.
It's amazing that the intimidated Blizzard King is still attacking so quickly.
And Bonnie's fighting style is as calm as the attributes she is good at, and in the first round of the encounter, Hanazuki failed to take any advantage, and even faintly fell into the disadvantage.
Faced with this situation, Kazuki chose to exchange.
Replaced by the Iron Claw Lobster, who avoided the Blizzard King's blizzard with a jet of water on his debut, and began to strengthen with the Dragon's Dance with a vicious giant pincer.
Seeing this, Bonnie immediately asked the Blizzard King to attack with a large blizzard that was wide in the field, but the Iron Claw Lobster, who had ended the Dragon Dance, immediately turned itself into huge ice crystals by relying on the blizzard to make the water jet again.
"What a quick move."
Kashiwagi was very surprised by the speed of the iron lobster, although the water jet started very fast, but you are too fast?
Inside the field.
It continued to shoot at the Blizzard King, and it turned into a stream of ice water, and even if the Blizzard King dodged in time, the shattered ice still managed to make him raise his hand to cover it.
At this time, the iron claw lobster was close to it.
The brown-red split tiles struck out, shattering the rainbow aurora curtain around the Blizzard King, and the powerful restrained blow immediately made him feel painful.
Immediately, before the Blizzard King counterattacked under Bonie's orders.
The Iron Lobster flashed to its side and struck it in the back of the head.
The loud bang made people tremble.
Kazuki's motto - "Offense is the best defense", his performance undoubtedly has a tendency to carry it through to the end, and he also took advantage of the trend to get back the lost rhythm just now.
And the repeated attacks in a short period of time caused the Blizzard King to retreat, and Bonnie gave several orders, but he couldn't get it to be used.
Bonnie was forced to take him down.
Her second Pokémon is the Emperor Tooth Sea Lion, whose body is fatter than the Blizzard King is not sensitive at first glance, how to deal with the attack of the Iron Lobster?
The answer is:
with hypertrophic fat.
Kashiwagi has a deep impression of this Pokémon, not only because it made Kashiwagi understand the importance of training Kodo Dragon to dodge for the first time, but also because of its use of the body.
Bonnie's proficiency in the use of such techniques is still higher than that of Micoli.
Regardless of the trait [Thick Fat], its body is naturally equipped with the power to cushion impacts, which also makes the Iron Claw Lobster, which focuses on physical attacks, have little to do against a beating-resistant Pokémon that repeatedly relies on charging to improve its double defense.
Kazuki also went from being full of confidence to doubting life.
His initial expression was clearly a look of "I believe that the iron lobster will definitely be able to break through your defenses", but the result was "why can't you fight".
Obviously, the Attack Attack Hit Vital Effect didn't trigger once.
On the other hand, Bonnie first used the tide swirl to eliminate the possibility of replacing the flower moon, and then froze the other party with a blizzard, and finally the overwhelming attack of Tarzan.
The cobweb-like cracked earth makes Kashiwagi worry about whether the clawed lobster will be crushed into shrimp cakes.
Luckily, it didn't work in the end.
It's just crushing into the ground.
After retrieving the iron lobster, the hail gradually stopped, and Kazuki decisively dispatched his trump card, Absoru, and started the super evolution.
The dazzling brilliance caused the audience to scream.
Super Absolu, who is not used in the game except for the True Love Party, shows a high sensitivity to danger in the hands of Kazuki.
The Tytooth Sea Lion was easily dodged by its repeated attacks, as if it had predicted in advance which side it would be attacked from.
