I, Xiao Mao, want to become a Pokémon Master!

The organizers will publish the video recordings of each contestant's performance on the official website, which contestants can view at will.

Xiao Mao naturally wanted to watch Xiao Fang's game.

Xiao Fang's first match was in the Grassy Field, where he used three Pokémon: Victreebel, Finch, and Machamp.

It was a rather disappointing experience. Apart from Finch, Victoire and Machamp are unlikely to appear in the second round of the competition. Neither of these two Pokémon can go into the water, while Finch can move around in the air.

In the first round of the competition, not all the players' Pokémon had been revealed yet. Although we knew Xiao Fang's three Pokémon, the information was not of much value.

After confirming Fang's basic information, Gary went to the teleporter and asked Professor Oak to teleport two Pokémon over.

...!

After a night.

9 a.m. the next day.

The second round of the Quartz Conference has officially begun.

The first match has begun on the water field.

Xiao Mao's match was the second match in the Water Arena. The first match was already halfway through, and the two players' Pokémon levels were evenly matched. Unfortunately, the green player only had one Water-type Pokémon, while the opponent had two. Due to the advantage of the terrain, the green player lost to the red player.

After the first match ended, the organizers began repairing the field.

146: One kills three

The venue is ready; the second match is about to begin.

"Now, please welcome contestants Xiao Fang and Xiao Mao to the competition," the host announced.

The two contestants also walked out of the passage.

"The green one is Shigeru, who completely defeated his opponent in yesterday's match on the ice rink. In the post-match interview, he declared that he would win the Indigo League championship and seems to be one of the seeded players in this tournament."

"The red player is Xiao Fang. Although he did not achieve a complete victory over his opponent in yesterday's match, he still demonstrated considerable strength."

"Today's competition venue is a water-type field. Neither of the two players used a water-type Pokémon in the last match. Let's wait and see what kind of water-type Pokémon they will have."

The host gave a brief introduction to the two players' previous match.

"What does this host mean?" Xiao Mao didn't understand why the host, "Erba Ling," would reveal what he had said in his interview yesterday. It wasn't a big deal; young people are bound to be a little impetuous.

"The match between Xiao Mao and Xiao Fang will now begin. This is a 3-on-3 match. Please release your Pokémon simultaneously," the referee announced.

As soon as they finished speaking, both players threw out their Poké Balls at the same time.

"Go, stinging jellyfish!"

"Go, Blastoise!"

Baton!

【LV38 Tentacruel ♂/Near-King】

A huge blue curtain of water fell into the water. Xiao Fang's stinging jellyfish had good potential, but its level was a bit low, which showed that Xiao Fang's cultivation of the stinging jellyfish was not up to par.

【LV56 Blastoise♂/Near Legendary】

Gary directly ruled out his starter Pokémon, not planning to do anything fancy with Fang. The main reason was that the Water Terrain greatly restricted Gary; apart from Blastoise, other Pokémon were not suitable for battling in such a terrain.

"Xiao Fang sent out Tentacruel, and Xiao Mao sent out Blastoise, both of which are very strong Water-type Pokémon," the host introduced.

Game start!

"Cannon light cannon!"

"Bubble light!"

Both sides issued instructions simultaneously.

The stinger blisters spray out foamy light.

Blastoise's cannon fired two silver beams.

*Smack! Smack! Smack...!*

The two skills collided, and all the bubbles in the Bubble Ray were destroyed. The Cannon Cannon shattered the Bubble Ray and hit the Stinger Jellyfish, knocking it out of the arena.

boom! !

The stinging jellyfish crashed into the wall outside the arena and immediately lost consciousness.

The referee was taken aback for a moment, then immediately announced, "The stinging jellyfish is incapacitated!"

Xiao Fang stared in disbelief at the defeated stinging jellyfish, unable to believe that his stinging jellyfish had been killed in an instant.

"What! Blastoise killed Tentacruel in one shot with its beam cannon! That's... terrifying!" the host exclaimed.

"Wow, is the Cannon Beam Strike a really powerful skill?"

"It's alright, mainly because Gary's Blastoise is strong enough."

Wow, that's amazing!

The audience was stunned when Blastoise annihilated the Stinger in a flash, but after the initial shock came excitement.

The small-faced creature became serious, recalled its Tentacruel, and then sent out a second Pokémon.

Baton!

【LV40 Starmie/Gym】

"There's a second one!" Xiao Mao hadn't expected Xiao Fang to have a second Water-type Pokémon.

Gem is a pretty good Pokémon. It has both Water and Psychic attributes, a wide move pool, and decent base stats, making it a great choice for a main Pokémon to train.

"Water cannon!" Xiao Mao commanded.

Blastoise immediately fired its water cannon, and Starmie immediately countered with its water gun. How could the tiny water gun keep up with the water cannon? It was instantly shattered into water droplets by the water cannon, which hit Starmie with unstoppable force.

Bang! !

The gem starfish was blasted off the edge of the pool and crashed into the wall before coming to a stop. However, the gem starfish was not defeated, but it suffered very serious injuries.

"Quickly, use self-regeneration!" Xiao Fang hurriedly commanded.

Starmie uses its self-regeneration to repair its injuries, but Gary and Blastoise won't give them that chance.

"Wave Rush!"

Blastoise leaps into the water, its entire body enveloped in the current, and rushes towards Starfish. Wherever it passes, the water on both sides continues to spread outward.

"Spin it at high speed!" Xiao Fang commanded.

Bang! !

Like an ant trying to shake a tree, the Starmie was no match for Blastoise's strength and was knocked out of the pool, crashing to the ground, its central ruby ​​flashing red light.

"The gem starfish is incapacitated!" the referee declared.

"Wow, Blastoise defeated Starmie in just two moves! Is Gary going to pull off a three-in-a-row victory too?!" the commentator exclaimed excitedly.

"What should we do?" Xiao Fang had already realized how strong Xiao Mao's Blastoise was; the three Pokémon he had prepared were no match for it.

"Moro, I'm counting on you for the last one." Helpless, Xiao Fang had no choice but to bite the bullet and send out his last Pokémon.

Baton!

【LV39 Moro/Gym】

A pale purple fluttering moth danced in the air.

"Xiao Fang's last Pokémon is Mothorki. It seems he wants to take advantage of the air. But will that work?" The host knew that Xiao Fang was powerless to change the outcome. Even if Mothorki could fly, so what?

The Mormoth's tactic is to use powder skills to inflict abnormal statuses on the opponent, and then slowly deplete the opponent's stamina.

But this is a watery area, and the powder from the Moro will dissolve in the water, so it won't affect Blastoise at all.

Even though Blastoise can't fly, it can use ranged moves at will, and it has the advantage of the terrain. Blastoise's Water-type moves have no limit on the number of times it can be used.

It was only a matter of time before the moth was hit, since flying requires energy and the moth couldn't stay in the air forever.

The outcome of the ensuing battle was a foregone conclusion.

Xiao Fang had the Moro use poison powder, but the poison powder dissolved as soon as it hit the water surface. However, if too much poison powder was released, the Blastoise would still be poisoned even if it stayed in the water.

But how could Shigeru allow such a situation to happen? Blastoise used Water Pulse to counterattack continuously, preventing Momoror from releasing its poison powder smoothly. It could only keep dodging, but prolonged defense inevitably leads to defeat. Before long, it was hit by a Water Pulse and fell from the sky into the water. When it floated up, its eyes were already spinning.

Moro is a Bug-type Pokémon, which is very fragile. Coupled with being outclassed in level, it simply cannot withstand any of Blastoise's attack moves.

"The Moro Moth has lost its ability to fight!"

"All three of Xiao Fang's Pokémon have been defeated. The winner is Xiao Shiu!" the referee announced.

"Congratulations to Xiao Mao for winning the second match with a 3-in-1 victory!!"

After the match ended, we moved on to the interview segment with the same female reporter.

Shigeru was also surprised to see the female reporter; she was supposed to be inside the Ice Arena, so why was she here?

147: Post-match interview

The preliminary rounds were held simultaneously at four venues, so naturally four reporters were assigned to cover the events at each venue.

Xiao Mao was unaware that the reporters also hoped to interview the seeded players. To be fair, the reporters took turns interviewing them. It was just a coincidence that the female reporter interviewed the ice rink yesterday and the water rink today.

"Congratulations on winning the second match, Xiao Mao! It seems you really have the ability to compete for the championship of this year's Quartz Conference," the female reporter said.

The first round of the competition may be a complete victory, but the second round will be more difficult. After all, these are people who have won at least one match, and their overall strength is definitely stronger than those eliminated trainers. Those trainers who are just there to make up the numbers have basically been eliminated.

Xiao Mao's ability to achieve a three-game winning streak in the second round undoubtedly proves his strength and makes him worthy of the title of seeded player.

Before entering the main venue, the media will comment on the seeded players. There are quite a few seeded players now. When the competition enters the sixth round, two favorites to win the championship will be selected.

Based on the current performance of all the seeded players, Xiao Mao's record ranks first.

“Then 28 is a given,” Xiao Mao said.

"So, Shigeru, you'll be competing on the grass field and the demonstration field later on. Are you confident you can perform like you did today?" the female reporter asked.

"If I had to win every match against three opponents, I think I could do it, but that wouldn't be ideal," Xiao Mao said.

"Why?" the female reporter asked, puzzled. They were clearly aiming to win the Quartz Conference, so wouldn't it be better to keep being high-profile?
