Chapter 252 Entering the Quarterfinals
When Lin Chuan flew to the museum, he found it was too late. The thieves had already fled, and the museum had lost many ancient objects.
This theft in the museum attracted many people to watch the fun. The museum has already called the police, and now the entire Totem City has been blocked off to search for the thief.
"Let's go back, it's so late."
Kalia looked at the time. It was already very late. She had a competition tomorrow and couldn't delay her sleep. Now the museum's affairs had nothing to do with her.
"Yeah." Yue Chuanjiang was also a little sleepy.
After returning to the residence, the museum is still busy looking for the thief, because the lost items are all precious.
…
After Lin Chuan returned to the Poké Ball, he spat out the scarlet orb and wondered whether to give it to Kaliya. However, if he gave it to Kaliya, she might return it to the museum.
After thinking about it, Lin Chuan decided to keep it for himself. He knew the use and significance of the pearl. If he gave it to the museum, it might remain in the museum forever. Just treat it as a broken fossil. It is already his.
Lin Chuan placed the scarlet orb in the Poké Ball. It was obviously unrealistic for him to carry it with him. The Poké Ball was considered a space item, so it was easy to put something in it.
However, it is of no use for the time being. He doesn't know where Groudon is sleeping, let alone waking him up. It all depends on fate. If he meets it, then he meets it. If he doesn't meet it, this gem may never be of any use.
Lin Chuan could feel the terrifying energy contained in the orb, but since it belonged to Groudon, he couldn't use it.
In the middle of the night, Lin Chuan entered the system space.
The first battle during the day allowed Lin Chuan to earn a lot of combat points, already more than 54,000 combat points.
At the same time, Lin Chuan discovered that his level had also been improved and he was already at level 39. This was only possible because Lin Chuan insisted on going to the dream world every day, which allowed him to improve so quickly.
After reaching level 39, Lin Chuan's special attack ability value exceeded 1,700, and his speed ability value was close to 1,600.
There is only one level left before reaching level 40. I estimate that the system can be upgraded to level 40. Of course, this is just a guess and we will know when the time comes.
"Let's go to the dream world first."
After entering the dream world, Lin Chuan went straight to the river, ready to meet up with Zapdos to fight monsters and level up together.
However, when he arrived at the place, Lin Chuan did not see any trace of Zapdos. Lin Chuan felt something was wrong. Zapdos usually came here on time and it was impossible for it to be absent suddenly.
"Maybe something went wrong."
Lin Chuan had a bad feeling and hurried to look for Zapdos. It should be nearby. Zapdos generally would not leave here. Even if it was injured, it would come here to wait for him.
Just when Lin Chuan was looking for Zapdos, Zapdos was being chased by the Dark Society.
Kentra and a loyal cadre entered the dream world, found the little Zapdos, and brought seven or eight Pokémons to attack the Zapdos.
When Zapdos saw so many Pokémons chasing after it, it definitely ran away immediately. It didn't want to fall into the hands of these people again. That period was the darkest time for the little Zapdos.
Kentra ran as fast as he could, leading his Pokémons to chase after the Zapdos. He didn't see the damn Charmeleon this time, so he couldn't let go of such a good opportunity. This time he brought his cadres with him. Although the Pokémons were weak, there were many of them, including his eight Pokémons.
Without that damn Charmeleon, this little Zapdos would be easy to catch as long as we chase it.
However, Zapdos is faster than any other Pokémon present. After all, Zapdos is born in its highest evolved form.
When Zapdos was running at full speed, it was impossible for Kira and other Pokémon to catch up. Except for Ulla, which was a little faster, the rest of the Pokémon were not even as fast as Kentra.
"President, we can't catch up!" the cadre said helplessly. The Zapdos is now obviously bigger than before, and its growth rate is very high. It would be better to improve its strength first.
Kentra also felt that he could not catch up. Zapdos could stay in the dream world every day and make progress every day, but they needed to rely on the Crescent Feather to enter the dream world, and the longer the time, the greater the consumption.
"President, I have a suggestion. Why don't we leave the elves here and let them grow up in the dream world on their own? This way, we won't waste the Crescent Feathers, and the elves' strength can be improved faster than that of the Zapdos, right?" The cadre suggested.
Zapdos stays in this world and grows very fast. If their elves only rely on the Crescent Feather to enter the dream world, they will never be able to catch up with the growth speed of Zapdos.
Therefore, the best option is to let the elf stay in the dream world temporarily. In this way, you can come back after a while, put the elf back into the Poké Ball, and bring it back to the real world.
"What you said makes sense. We can give it a try." Kentra thought about it and felt that it would work. Although the Pokémon would lose the restraint of the Poké Ball, as long as the Pokémon did not return to the Poké Ball, there was no need to destroy the Poké Ball on purpose.
The next time he comes back, his Pokémon can still return to the Poké Ball and be brought back to the real world.
Moreover, Kentra's elf has been with him for so long and they have developed a deep affection for it. There is no way it could just run away like that. Although he is the president of the Dark Society, he still treats his elves very well.
After all, the Crescent Feathers are limited, and Kentra knows that it is impossible to stay in the dream world forever. It is better to let the elves stay in the dream world. With so many elves fighting together, they will grow fast and maybe they will soon become the overlord of this area.
Afterwards, the two of them left the Pokémon in the dream world. Since they couldn't catch up with the Zapdos, they gave up chasing it. Time in the dream world was precious and should not be wasted.
After the eight elves stayed in the dream world, Kentra gave a Crescent Feather to Yukira and asked her to keep it so that she could teleport directly to Yukira next time she came in.
"Let's leave and let the elves grow on their own in the dream world. It's time to slowly deal with the things in the real world." Kentra said.
"Okay." The cadre was overjoyed. The president had been obsessed with the dream world these past few days and even asked him to enter the dream world, ignoring the real world. Now he finally had time to deal with things in the real world.
On the other side, Lin Chuan finally found the Zapdos, but it didn't seem to be injured. It just kept flying. Lin Chuan shouted and the Zapdos stopped.
"Why are you running?" Lin Chuan asked puzzledly . It seemed that there was no elf chasing it. Why did it keep running and not come to gather? He had been looking for it for so long and wasted a lot of time.
Zapdos stopped, looked behind him, and found that no Pokémon was chasing him, so he flew to Lin Chuan.
"Those people just now are here again, and many elves are chasing me."
"Are there more than one person?" Lin Chuan heard this. Could it be that the president of the Dark Society brought people into the dream world?
The Dark World is quite powerful, with at least two dream devices. However, the more people enter the dream world, the faster the Crescent Feather is consumed, and even if they come in, the elves have to start from the beginning.
"Don't worry, you are faster than them now, and they can't catch up with you. Just be careful." Lin Chuan waved his hand to indicate that there was no need to worry.
Now that his level is high, Lin Chuan is ready to change to another place to level up, preferably a place closer to where he landed.
I wasn’t strong enough before, but now my level is high enough. I’m almost able to go there to fight, and I can also quickly increase my growth rate.
Not long after, Lin Chuan and Zapdos headed towards the previous place and began to fight with stronger Pokémons. There was no need to worry about getting injured, because with the system, they could recover immediately if they lost their combat effectiveness.
As for those people from the Dark Society, Lin Chuan didn't want to pay attention to them for the time being. He would definitely beat them up if he met them, but if he didn't meet them, then forget it.
…
The next day, the battle hall.
The doubles competition has not started yet. The top 16 were selected yesterday, the top 8 and top 4 were selected this morning, and the semi-finals and finals will be held in the afternoon.
Kalia came early in the morning . Although what happened at the museum yesterday was serious, it had no impact on her.
"So early." After a while, Yue Chuanjiang came to Kaliya while eating breakfast and said hello.
The two chatted while waiting for the competition to begin. It was still early for the competition to start. The exam would be at around 8 a.m., and they would take a rest after the top eight and top four were selected.
Lin Chuan stayed in the Poké Ball, playing with the scarlet orb and looking at the pattern on it. It was a pattern unique to Groudon.
Groudon is an elf that has existed since ancient times, but later fell into sleep. It usually sleeps underground, very close to the magma.
If you ask where Groudon is most likely to fall asleep, Mount Steel isn't possible. The Hydra is there. The Kana Mountains are a possibility, but Moltres seemed to have lived there before.
Maybe it is sleeping in the Aili area. This is also possible. It all depends on luck. And waking it up would not be a good thing. It might even cause drought or something like that.
Time passed and the game began. The competition to advance from the top 16 to the top 8 was definitely very fierce. After it started, Lian Yue Chuanjiang didn't say much and watched the game seriously.
The first match was a battle between pure Cortana and the opponent was an intermediate trainer. However, when meeting pure Cortana, the intermediate trainer did not look very good.
Pure Xiaona's strength is obvious to all. Although she may not be very experienced in doubles, her elf is strong enough.
She got a high score of , and each of her elves was very strong, and the combination between the elves was also perfect.
After several battles, pure Xiaona almost always won by crushing the opponent. No matter how well you cooperated, it would be pale and powerless in the face of absolute strength.
The Afro Buffalo's Afro Charge, the Crystal Lamp Spirit's Flame Jet, and most importantly, the third Pokémon's defenseless nature.
The combination of these elves and characteristics allows pure Xiaona to ignore almost any defensive moves. You have a light wall, the crystal lamp spirit has a penetrating characteristic, and you use a smoke screen. The defenseless use of the monster's strength can allow the elves to directly lock onto the opponent, and defense is useless.
In the first battle, even though Chun Xiaona's opponent tried his best, he was still defeated miserably and was eliminated directly.
Pure Cortana's powerful strength makes other trainers a little afraid, and Pure Cortana has become one of the contenders for the championship of this doubles competition.
Apart from Pure Cortana, there are only two intermediate trainers who can compete with her. As for Kalia, because Lizardlike and Ninetales are too weak and are only beginner trainers, in the eyes of everyone, they will eventually stop in the top eight or top four.
If she really faces an intermediate trainer like Sun Yan, she will definitely suffer a crushing defeat. As long as she targets Charizard and directly defeats the strongest Charizard, Kalia will be unable to fight back. This is a fatal weakness.
As the game progressed, it was finally Kaliya's turn to play. The name of Kaliya's opponent was shown on the battle list, a young man named Lu Xin.
Kaliya came to the battlefield, and Lin Chuan landed on the ground on his own initiative. He placed the scarlet orb in the Poké Ball, so Kaliya should not be able to find it.
"Go ahead, Charizard, Forest Lizard, use the Oath move."
Lin Chuan's partner is the forest lizard, and Kalia is ready to try the sea of fire formed by the Oath of Grass and the Oath of Fire.
The Pokémon sent out by Lu Xin were a Solar Rock and an Electric Magneto. Neither of these two Pokémon are top-notch Pokémon, but they are different in the hands of an intermediate trainer.
At the beginning of the battle, Solar Rock used a rare move called Characteristic Swap, giving his floating characteristic to Magneto. This resulted in Magneto losing its ground-based weakness and directly losing a four-fold damage restraint.
However, although Magneto no longer has its ground-type weakness, its fire-type weakness remains.
Lin Chuan and the Forest Lizard worked together to release the Fire Oath move, forming a sea of fire, which killed Magneto instantly. Sun Rock originally wanted to block the move for Magneto, but it was useless. Fire Oath was a range move, and it rushed up from the ground, so it could not be blocked at all.
Lu Xin's elf barely held on for a few minutes, but was still defeated by Lin Chuan. It was not because Lu Xin's elf was not strong enough, but because Lin Chuan was too strong, especially on a sunny day.
If the problem of sunny days is not solved, any Pokémon that cannot resist fire will basically be unable to withstand Lin Chuan's fire moves. Although overheating is not allowed, the fire moves jointly released by Lin Chuan and the Forest Lizard are actually far more powerful than the overheating released by Lin Chuan alone.
Overheating only has a power of 130, but the fusion flame of Lin Chuan and Nine-Tailed Fox definitely surpasses Overheating. The sea of fire formed by Lin Chuan and the Forest Lizard releasing the oath together has a power of 150 according to the game panel.
Fortunately, the Pokémon of intermediate trainers are not weak Pokémon, so there are no serious consequences.
Just like that, Lin Chuan used his fire-based moves to defeat Lu Xin, allowing Kaliya to win and successfully enter the top eight. The next step was to select the top four.
