Chapter 739 The Queen has arrived, everyone get out of the way!
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome back to the second half of the semifinals of the Miare Conference!"
After the break, the host's passionate voice once again resounded throughout the venue.
Xiaoyun and her group also sat down in the front row of the audience.
"The match is about to begin! Please welcome the players from both sides to the arena!"
The spotlight shone on the entrance to the athletes' tunnel.
"First up is A-Jun from the Sinnoh region!"
The spotlight moved and shone on Ah Xun as she walked out of the passage.
Ah Xun, sporting a head of blond hair, walked into the venue with his head held high.
He dressed up specially today. Although he still had his signature blond hair, it was clearly styled with hair gel. He also changed into a brand new training outfit with a striking orange-yellow main color.
He walked to the edge of the field, stopped, and put on what he thought was his most handsome smile:
"Friends of Miare! How are you! Let me hear your screams!"
However, he only received sporadic applause in response.
Ah Xun didn't give up, turning to the other side of the audience and waving his arm even harder:
"Hey audience over there! Did you see that?!"
It remained silent, with only a few children watching the blond-haired boy gesturing wildly with curiosity.
Ah Xun was losing face.
Seriously, officer? It was a final four contender! Can't you give it a break?
The locals in Carlos are so rude.
"What? This Ah Xun is such a loser, he can't attract any popularity at all."
In the audience, Xiaoyun ate sunflower seeds and made her comments without any restraint.
Xiao Wang couldn't help but laugh out loud: "From what you're saying, Xiao Guang is very popular in Carlos, huh?"
Xiaoyun immediately perked up:
"Just kidding, Xiao Guang is the newly crowned Queen of Carlos, she's super popular!"
Xiao Wang looked interested: "Then I'll have to take a good look."
As the two were talking, the commentator's voice rang out again, this time noticeably more excited and enthusiastic:
"Next up is—also from the Sinnoh region, who has made a triumphant run to the semifinals, captivating countless viewers with her elegant fighting style and stunning beauty."
The commentator paused, took a deep breath, and then shouted with all his might:
"The newly crowned Queen of Kalos, the beautiful trainer, Miss Hikari!"
Before he finished speaking, the entire audience erupted in a thunderous cheer!
The spotlight instantly switched to the other side of the channel.
Ah Xun stood in the center of the field, listening to this long string of prefixes, completely stunned:
"Hey! Commentator, is your discrimination really that obvious?! My introduction was just one sentence, but Xiao Guang has so many adjectives?"
"You guys could at least have added a 'handsome guy' comment for me."
Still, nobody paid him any attention.
Because everyone's eyes were focused on the blue-haired girl who slowly walked out of the passage.
Xiao Guang dressed up specially today.
She wore a refreshing and energetic outfit, with a sky-blue sweatshirt tucked into a white high-waisted pleated skirt. The high-waisted design accentuated her youthful waistline, making her legs look longer and giving her a vibrant appearance.
The light blue mid-calf socks were printed with a row of cute Pogaman patterns—they were custom-made for her.
Her signature long blue hair wasn't tied in a ponytail as usual, but rather loosely draped over her shoulders.
Her face was covered in a natural, sheer makeup, her delicate eyebrows were slightly raised, her eyes were clear and bright, her lips were painted with a light pink lip gloss, and she had a faint smile on her face.
She looks energetic and sweet like a young girl.
"Oh oh oh oh!!!"
The moment Xiao Guang appeared, the entire venue erupted in excitement.
Cheers, whistles, and applause swept in like a tsunami, a stark contrast to the quiet atmosphere when Ah Xun first appeared.
"Miss Hikari! Look here!"
"Miss Hikari, I'm a longtime fan! I've been following you since your very first Grand Contest!"
"Mom, I'm in love!"
"Can the Queen step on my face? Yes, I can! I really can!"
All sorts of outrageous shouts rose and fell.
Ah Xun stood at the other end of the venue, looking at the stark contrast in popularity, and his face almost turned green.
His heart was screaming:
"I refuse to accept this! I'm handsome too! Isn't my hairstyle trendy? Isn't my outfit cool?"
However, reality is cruel.
Some viewers even shouted, "Go, Miss Hikari! Defeat that delinquent blond guy!"
"Exactly! That blond guy doesn't look like a proper trainer at all!"
Ah Xun finally lost his temper and shouted at the audience, "Who! Who said 'bad elements'! Come out here! This is fashion! Don't you understand fashion!"
"And the one who said she wanted her face stepped on, are you a pervert?! Her boyfriend would hit her!"
Unfortunately, the venue was so large and packed with people that it was impossible to find out who was shouting.
Ah Xun could only jump up and down in anger.
In the audience, Xiao Wang watched this scene and couldn't help but laugh out loud: "Compared to this, Xiao Guang's popularity is indeed ridiculously exaggerated. We never enjoyed this kind of star treatment when we competed in other regions."
At this moment, Xiao Guang waved in Xiao Yun's direction, and the two smiled at each other.
At that moment, screams erupted from the audience again:
"Ahhh, Miss Hikari smiled! So sweet!"
"Who is she looking at? That dark-haired boy?"
"It looks like he's her boyfriend, I'm so jealous..."
"The hatred of having one's wife stolen is irreconcilable!"
Xiaoyun's lips twitched as she listened to these comments.
At this moment, the referee rode his Aegislash to the center of the arena and raised his hands to signal for quiet.
After the room calmed down a bit, he announced:
"In the second semi-final match, A-Xun will face Xiao-Guang. The match will be a 6v6 all-player battle. When three Pokémon on one side are unable to battle, the match will enter a halftime break."
"Now, both sides, please send out your first Pokémon simultaneously!"
Ashun threw out the Poké Ball first, his action decisive.
He wanted to regain the face he had just lost.
"I won't be polite, Hikari, go ahead, Skarmory!"
A flash of white light, and a griffin took flight, circling in the air, its wings sharp as knives, reflecting a cold light in the sunlight.
Xiao Guang stared at the armored bird, his mind racing.
She had seen Ah Xun's armored bird before; it was good at scattering water chestnuts and defensive tactics.
She smiled slightly, already having a plan:
"Please! Warrior Eagles!"
The Poké Ball was thrown, and a loud eagle cry echoed throughout the arena! An eagle took flight!
Its feathers are grayish-black, with white tips on its wings and tail feathers. The three crest feathers on its forehead are flame-shaped, and its eyes are sharp as knives!
Emerald Warrior Eagle!
In the arena, two Flying-type Pokémon confront each other in the air.
Ah Xun took the lead:
"Armored Bird, Spread Water Chestnuts!"
The armored bird spun rapidly in the air, scattering iron filings that instantly melted into the ground upon landing.
This is Skarmory's classic opening move: start with a wave of Spikes.
But this was the moment Xiaoguang had been waiting for.
Just as Skarmory was focused on spreading diamonds and its movements briefly froze, Hikari shouted the command:
"Warrior Eagle, use Aura Wings!"
"Wow—!"
The Warrior Eagle roared to the sky, its wings suddenly spread, and powerful superpowers erupted from its body!
The energy was visible to the naked eye, like blue flames enveloping its wings!
Then it flapped its wings and transformed into a blue streak of light, rushing towards the still spinning armored bird!
Unique move: Wings of Aura.
Ah Xun exclaimed in surprise, "Armored Bird, defend now!"
Just as the armored bird stopped spinning to defend itself, Aura Wings arrived.
boom! !
The armored bird was knocked away, tumbling several times in the air before regaining its balance, its head buzzing.
Ah Xun was also taken aback, but reacted quickly:
"Skeleton, use Brave Bird to counterattack!"
The armored bird steadied itself, its wings bursting into blue flames, transforming itself into a giant bird of fire!
"You want a head-on confrontation?"
Xiao Guang's eyes sharpened: "Warrior Eagle, continue using Aura Wings!"
The Warrior Eagle's wings were once again enveloped in superpowers, transforming into a blue streak of light as it charged forward!
This time, the Wings of Aura are faster and more powerful than before.
Aura Wings' special feature: Speed will increase with continuous use!
boom--!!!
A blue streak of light collided with a fiery bird in mid-air!
An explosion occurred, and the shockwave spread in all directions! Both Pokémon were simultaneously thrown backward.
In the second collision, the Skarmory was knocked back again. Due to the Brave Bird's fierce attack and the resulting damage, the flames on its body dimmed a bit, and it was panting heavily.
Ah Xun didn't expect Xiao Guang's Warrior Eagle to be so strong; that Aura Wings move was truly overpowered.
The game is getting faster and faster, how can we play like this?
"Armored Bird, unleash another Brave Bird Attack!"
He gritted his teeth and gave the order, determined to fight to the bitter end.
Sometimes, a man just has to be reckless!
The armored bird could only gather its power once more, and the blue flames ignited again, transforming it into a giant firebird once more!
"Warrior Eagle, Wings of Power!"
The Warriors Eagle's wings are enveloped in superpowers for the third time!
This time, the blue light was even more dazzling, and the speed was even more astonishing.
It unleashed its Aura Wings for the third time, this time reaching its peak in both speed and power!
As a naval admiral once said, speed is power!
In the air, a blue streak of light collided with the fiery bird for the third time.
Boom!
This time, the result was a foregone conclusion.
The armored bird was struck head-on by the blue streak of light, and the impact forced it back to its original shape, where it fell straight down from the sky with a scream.
After checking the Skarmory's condition, the referee raised the flag:
"The Skarmory is incapacitated! The Warrior Eagle wins!"
"Yay!" Xiao Guang clenched his fist happily.
The audience erupted in enthusiastic applause and cheers, saying things like "Miss Xiaoguang is so cool" and "The Warriors and Eagles are so strong."
At this moment, Xiao Guang gave the order again: "Warrior Eagle, use the Fog Clear!"
The Warrior Eagle flapped its wings, and a refreshing breeze swept across the field, blowing away the previous spikes.
Ah Xun, with a dark expression, retrieved the armored bird.
Well, this meal was a waste, the water chestnuts were wasted, and the Skarmory was wasted too.
He took out a second Poké Ball and threw it forcefully:
"Go, Magneto!"
The Poké Ball opened, and a gray, UFO-shaped Pokémon appeared in the arena.
It has a large red eye in the middle of its body, a small round eye on each shoulder, a unicorn antenna on its head, and emits an electromagnetic field.
Explosive Magneto!
"Magnemite, with its Electric/Steel attributes, should not be approached easily..."
Xiao Guang quickly thought: "Warrior Eagle, use the Great Sound!"
"Wow!"
The Warrior Eagle took a deep breath and then let out a deafening battle cry.
Unlike ordinary roars, the Emerald Warrior Eagle's special ability can inflict mental damage within its sonic waves, making it far more powerful.
"Magneto, take the hits! Use the magnetic field to control it!"
Ah Xun's instructions were unexpected.
Magneto suppressed the discomfort from its battle cry, and all three of its eyes lit up simultaneously!
The body immediately released special electromagnetic waves, and an invisible force field spread throughout the entire arena, making the electrical charges in the air more active.
"Magnetic field manipulation? What kind of technique is that?"
Xiao Guang was taken aback; she couldn't recall the specific function of magnetic field manipulation for a moment.
But Ah Xun deliberately had Magneton use this move, so there must be another reason.
Ah Xun revealed a triumphant smile:
"Don't understand? Then I'll show you! Magneto, electromagnetic wave!"
The antenna on Magneto's head surged with electromagnetic waves and crackled, and a golden electromagnetic wave shot towards Warrior Eagle.
"Warrior Eagle, get out of the way!" Xiao Guang ordered.
Logically speaking, with the Warriors Eagle's current speed, it should be able to easily dodge the attack.
but it is not the truth.
The Warrior Eagle easily dodged to the side, but the electromagnetic wave drew a strange arc in the air, turned a corner, and continued its pursuit!
"What? This also has tracking capabilities."
Xiao Guang's eyes widened, his expression as if he had seen the Earth God fly.
This unscientific!
Zizi!
Finally, the electromagnetic wave struck the Warrior Eagle.
A flash of lightning struck, and the Warrior Eagle's body stiffened, paralyzed.
Ah Xun laughed loudly: "Hahaha, didn't expect that, did you! Magneton used its magnetic field to manipulate and change the magnetic field of the entire area. Electromagnetic waves gain automatic tracking ability under this magnetic field! Although it doesn't last long, it's enough to hit you!"
Although official records state that magnetic field manipulation can only increase the Special Defense of Pokémon with positive or negative charges, its actual applications are much more extensive.
In the audience, Xiaoyun understood, but what surprised him even more was:
"Ah Xun can actually use his brain now? I thought he was just a reckless brute."
Xiao Guang was also a bit troubled: "The Warriors Eagles' speed advantage is gone now, this is a problem."
Ah Xun pressed his advantage:
"Hikari, I'm taking this victory without holding back! Magneton, use the Railgun!"
Magneto's three eyes lit up simultaneously, and powerful electrical energy gathered on its body surface, forming a giant ball of electricity.
Boom!
Then, the electric ball shot towards the sluggish warrior eagle, like Thor's spear!
But at this critical moment, Xiao Guang made an unexpected move.
She took out a Poké Ball, which emitted a red light, retrieved Brave Eagle, and then quickly threw out another Poké Ball.
Ah Xun was stunned for a moment, thinking:
"No, sis, you can't switch Pokémon now, you'll still get hit!"
The electromagnetic railgun has clearly already been launched.
When Dawn switches out her Pokémon, the newly introduced Pokémon will still have to take the hit from the Electro-Cannon.
Could it be...?
Ah Xun suddenly thought of something, and her expression changed.
Boom!
The electromagnetic gun has hit its target, unleashing a blinding flash of light and a deafening roar.
Boom!
Sparks flew and smoke filled the air.
Everyone held their breath, their eyes glued to the field.
When the lightning faded, a small white squirrel appeared in the same spot.
It has fluffy white fur and round black eyes. Standing on the field, it not only wasn't injured, but instead showed an expression of enjoyment.
Patchlitz, a product with energy storage properties.
Ah Xun's lips twitched. I knew it. It was that electric squirrel again.
Xiao Guang smiled at Patchlitz:
"Patchlitz, use Thunder!"
"profit!"
Full of energy, Patchlitz's cheeks sparkled with electricity, and his small body burst forth with astonishing electrical energy.
The sky instantly became overcast, and a thick bolt of golden lightning struck down from the sky, hitting Magneton head-on!
Boom!!!
The lightning struck precisely, and the Magneton convulsed, collapsing while billowing black smoke.
After inspection, the referee announced: "Magneto is unable to fight! Patchlitz wins!"
The audience erupted in applause, with many chanting slogans like "Well done, Patchlitz!" and "Little White Devil!"
Ah Xun silently recalled his Magneton. Less than ten minutes into the game, he had already lost two in a row.
He took a few deep breaths, forcing himself to calm down.
Don't rush, don't panic. There are still four Pokémon left, there's still a chance.
But we must show our true abilities.
"Hikaru, now I'm getting serious!"
He pulled out his third Poké Ball and threw it forcefully:
"Go, Bricaron!"
A flash of red light appeared, and a giant Pokémon appeared on the field.
It has a green, armor-like shell, a spike on each shoulder, and thick fur on its back; it is strong and majestic overall.
Then he raised his hand, and the keystone on the bracelet burst forth with a seven-colored light!
"Bricaron, Mega Evolution!"
