Chapter 290 Advance to the Quarterfinals
With the victory of the first and second groups, the trainers in the Sebastian region also cheered. They won the opponent right from the start, and it was a crushing victory, which made the Sebastian trainers and the audience in a good mood.
For a time, Group 1 and Group 2 became the two groups with the greatest chance of entering the finals and winning the championship.
However, when the third and fourth groups started the competition, the situation suddenly changed. It might be that the third and fourth groups were much weaker than the first two groups. After the competition started, they were directly defeated in the first battle, and it was also a miserable defeat, as if the previous plot was reversed.
"The other side's strongest team has appeared!"
"It must be the strongest group, otherwise it can't be that strong."
"Damn it! I thought the third group had a chance to advance to the finals, but now we're facing the other team's strongest group. I'm afraid it's going to be difficult."
In this competition, there is nothing more unfortunate than meeting the strongest group. If the opponent's strongest group meets the two weakest groups in the Sebastian region, it is nothing, and it may even be a win.
But the key is that they met the third and fourth strongest groups, which are also strong and could easily advance. It can be said to be a pity.
The third and fourth groups could have easily advanced, after all, their strength was very strong, but if they met the strongest group, it would almost certainly mean defeat. Sebastian's side was overall weak, and they would only have a chance if the strongest group faced the strongest group.
Kalia watched as the third group of trainers were defeated again and again. The strongest group in the Elly region was too strong. They were all top intermediate trainers, who were only one step away from advanced trainers. They were almost the same as advanced trainers.
A trainer of this strength, who had mastered Z-moves at an early age, was simply unable to resist the third group except for the first and second groups.
Kalia is more concerned about the third group in the Elly region. This group is definitely the strongest group. Looking at the big screen, you can see that one of the trainers is named Jessie, who should be the strongest.
He only sent out one elf, but he severely defeated the opponent's two elves, and through joint defense, none of the elves lost combat effectiveness, and he won the first game.
"Fortunately, we didn't meet the strongest group. The opponent's fifth group should be okay. We have a chance." Gu Du on the side muttered to himself. After all, he also wanted to win.
"The third and fourth groups in the Eli region should be their strongest groups. As a result, the following groups should be weaker." Mal also analyzed. He is in the sixth group, which means he will be on the field at the same time as Kalia. If the opponents in the sixth group are weaker, then maybe they will have a chance.
Although the chance is very small, after all, no matter how bad the opponent is, he is still an intermediate trainer. It seems very difficult for them, who are only three junior trainers, to defeat him.
As time went by, the matches between the third and fourth groups became very difficult. This could be seen from the first match, where the trainer named Jessie directly and forcefully defeated them. Although the second match of the third group barely held on, it was only because they had the advantage of restraint in the Pokémon lineup. Anyone with a discerning eye could see that the gap in strength was still very large.
In the end, the third game was still a miserable defeat, all hopes were dashed, the opponent was the strongest team, there was nothing that could be done, everyone tried their best, and all z moves were released smoothly.
Both the third and fourth groups lost to the Erie region and lost the qualification to advance, but it was not a meaningless loss. At least now the trainers in the strongest group have mostly exposed their Pokémon, so they can be targeted. If they are lucky, they can even rely on the lineup to restrain and defeat the opponent.
With the end of the battle between the third and fourth groups, it was finally the turn of the fifth group, which was Kalia's group. However, because of the previous disastrous defeat, no one was optimistic about the fifth and sixth groups.
"Two intermediate trainers against one beginner trainer, it's too hard to win. We're probably going to lose."
"Group 6 is even worse. There are three beginner trainers. I even want to laugh. Who gave them the courage to participate in this exchange competition?"
"I am better than these junior trainers, but I don't have a Z-band. This money-oriented era is too bad."
After the fifth and sixth groups came on stage, the trainers and spectators from the Sebastian region all wailed. The performance of the Sebastian region in this competition was really too poor.
Kaliya stood on the battle field, waiting for the game to begin, while Gudu directed from the side: "Sam and I will go on stage first, and you will go on stage last. If the two of us lose, we probably won't have a chance."
The game started soon. The strength of the opponent was unknown, but it was estimated that he would not be too weak. Gudu was the first to go on the court. After all, he thought that he should be the strongest trainer in the fifth group, and it would be best if he could win the first game directly.
Although Kalia hates Gudu, she has to say that Gudu's strength is still good. The main reason is that the opponent is not strong, far behind the previous third and fourth groups.
This also gave them an opportunity. The one Gu Du was fighting against was a trainer named Zhang Ce. After a battle, he successfully let the Pokémon release the Fighting-type's Full Power Musou Fierce Punch, successfully eliminating the opponent's most critical main Pokémon.
At the same time, he also used defensive moves to block the opponent's Z moves. Although he failed to block all of them, blocking most of them was already very good, and this was also the key. In the end, Gu Du successfully won the first game.
"Haha, I won!" Gudu shouted excitedly. This was his habit. He would cheer after every victory.
But suddenly when he thought that this was only the first victory, he suddenly shut up. Now is not the time to be happy. It depends on Sam's performance next. If Sam loses, he will basically have no chance.
According to his judgment, the next opponent will not be weaker than Chuck. Once Sam loses, it will be too difficult to defeat the last trainer based on Kalia's strength.
After Gudu won, Sam was the second to go on stage. Originally, Kalia was going to go on stage second, as she wanted to prove her strength, but she could also go on stage last. In this way, it didn’t matter even if Sam lost, as at least she should be able to guarantee a win.
Sam's opponent is called Brand, a real trainer from the Elly region. All his output depends on roaring. He starts roaring as soon as the game starts, as if he can't win the game without roaring.
However, despite the roar from the crowd, the performance of the game was not very good. A small mistake led to the defeat of the first Pokémon to appear, and Sam immediately gained the upper hand.
"Good job, Sam!" Gudu was overjoyed. If Sam won, he would directly advance to the quarterfinals, and it seemed that he had a great chance.
Although Kalia really wanted to play, she was also very happy to see Sam's performance. After all, winning is a good thing and she can advance to the quarterfinals smoothly.
The situation on Kalia's side was very good , but the battle on Mal's side was terrible. The three junior trainers were arranged together, actually to be cannon fodder, to avoid being a drag.
Tarot’s idea might be to gather the junior trainers together and eliminate them directly in the first round.
It was obvious that Mal and his team were victims and were ultimately defeated. However, even though they were defeated, at least they understood their opponent's elves. While watching the battle, Kalia was also watching the sixth group's match. It was very important to remember the opponent's elves during the battle.
No one will give you the opponent's elf information, so you can only observe it yourself. Kalia has also maintained this habit, maybe you will encounter it next time.
As time passed, Sam did not disappoint and successfully won the second victory, winning two games in a row and successfully advancing to the quarterfinals .
