Chapter 239 Slow Down and Enjoy Life
As the smoke and light dust from the fierce collision of the two light cannons gradually dissipated, the scene of the battlefield that was almost razed to the ground by the tragic bombardment came into view.
Charizard and Zhou You both swayed and half-knelt on the ground with blurred consciousness, trying to support themselves.
The opposing Blastoise was hit by mega evolution and slowly fell to the ground after recovering to its original form.
Chairman Dama Lanqi raised the red flag on his left hand high when he saw this: "Blustoise cannot fight. According to the victory conditions agreed in advance, the winner of this semi-final is Zhou You from the Oak Research Institute in Pallet Town!"
"..."
Looking at the Blastoise lying in front of him, Qing Lu looked gloomy after losing the battle.
Replaying the game, the reason why he was defeated was that Charizard opened Fierce Fire and Sunny Day.
With the rise and fall of one, even Blastoise with a super launcher and a shell-breaking Blastoise would hardly be its opponent.
No, in the final analysis, Zhou You's self-proclaimed burst mode of bond resonance is the biggest trouble. If he can also activate it, Charizard will never be a match for Blastoise under the dual amplification of mega and bond resonance.
At this moment, the words of Jijiang when he chose Squirtle before departure echoed in Qinglu's mind:
"Attributes are not everything in the battle of elves. The most important thing is still the trust between people and elves."
Qinglu suddenly realized: "Ah, so that's it. Was it destined from that moment?"
The key to winning against restraint, and the real reason for his defeat after tracing back to the source.
Perhaps before exerting his own talents, talents, tactics, strategies, and matching, it is most important to trust and respond to his own elves more... At least to the same extent as Zhou You.
"Qiao Qiao, I have to admit that you are stronger now, but I will be the winner next time we meet."
After that, Qinglu ignored everyone present, left the main stadium without looking back, and rode the fossil pterosaur to the elf center in the player village.
Looking at Qinglv's departing figure, Zhou You complained helplessly: "I get a headache when I think about having to play a regular 6v6 with you next time. I don't want to fight this kind of intense battle again and be exhausted physically and mentally."
Even with the skill of Bond Resonance from 20 years ago, he could only win by a narrow margin. If he had to do it again, he would be in a big trouble.
If the Flame of Promise of Victory just now had not established the victory, Zhou You and Charizard would really only have the human pet to self-destruct. Even if they defeated the opponent, it would be a draw at most.
"But we finally won by a narrow margin. Now we have the Quartz Conference champion, Eden, our next step is to defeat the Four Heavenly Kings in a row and become the champion." After taking a few breaths to recover most of his physical strength, Zhou You couldn't help but rush into the battlefield and pounced on Charizard, "Great, Arthur, I knew a long time ago that choosing you must be my most correct decision!!!"
Looking at Zhou You who rushed into the field with staggering steps, Eden said thoughtfully: "That's what I said, but when you go back, you must explain to me what that strange state just now was."
"Wait a minute, wait a minute!" Xiaozhi couldn't hold it anymore, "Qiao Qiao, can you stop opening champagne in the first half? The semi-final between me and Ahong hasn't started yet!"
"Ahem, yes, then I will still be the referee of the battle between Ahong and Xiaozhi." President Dama Lanqi looked at Xiaozhi and Ahong with great expectation.
…
Compared to the outrageous battles of Zouyou, Cyan, Leaf, and Darko in the left half, which almost surpassed the current era, the performances of Xiaozhi, Hiro, Cross, and Dushe in the right half can only be regarded as remarkable.
Hiro and Xiaozhi, two very similar boys, finally ushered in their semi-finals.
Unfortunately, compared with Hiro who only restrained the runaway Pokémon in the venue in the morning, his condition was still good.
Xiaozhi, who was called out by the Rocket Team without proper treatment of the Pokémon since last night and did not have a good rest, faced Athena, one of the four cadres, and several elite Rocket Team members led by Mana this morning.
Although Machado came to help with Xiaogang, Xiaoxia, and Serena (but without Pokémon) in the middle, he still lost most of the status of the Pokémon in his hands.
I don’t know if it is the so-called convergence of the world line or just a coincidence.
When Xiaozhi was fighting against Hiro, almost all of his Pokémon were very tired and exhausted. Even with Kentaro and Crab urgently transferred from Oak Research Institute, the overall condition was still not comparable to Hiro.
Perhaps this is fate, Zhou You sighed while watching the game, Xiaozhi was destined to lose to Hiro, a similar character with the same prototype as him.
After Butterfree, Crab, and Kentaro were defeated one after another, even Zhipi stopped acting but could not defeat Ren with his battle-hardened body, and Charizard was killed by Hiro's evolution of Charizard with low health due to fatigue/residual blood.
Xiaozhi pulled the brim of his hat behind him and threw out his last Pokémon - Machado.
Zhou You: "???"
Machado: Helping the Rainbow Hero is also part of my job. In fact, I found Xiaozhi as a temporary foreign aid to log in to the team configuration last night when I realized that something unexpected was going to happen in the conference!
In the desperate situation, Machado appeared and defeated Hiro's Charizard, helping Xiaozhi, who was in a very bad state due to fighting against the evil organization, to complete the desperate counterattack.
However, the battle venue in the main stadium was completely destroyed by an unknown explosion, which led to the second night when it had to be postponed again.
In the next final between Zhou You and Xiao Zhi, Machado decisively chose to run away and not help.
Xiao Zhi, who had recovered his perfect state, was undoubtedly beaten by Zhou You, an opponent who was not at the same level, and finally had to regretfully win the runner-up medal... But this was enough to make him feel satisfied.
And Ahong did not attend the third place competition because of the unknown whereabouts of Qing Lu, and luckily got the bronze medal that Qing Lu did not care about at all.
The semi-finals and finals of this Quartz Conference ended without the audience seeing anything because of the attack of Team Rocket.
Although the audience was dissatisfied, when the main stadium was repaired three days later, in order to make up for the audience's regret, show the strength of the kings, and show the determination of the alliance, the Quartz Alliance took this opportunity to arrange two exhibition matches for the Four Heavenly Kings in the main stadium. The audience who watched such a high-level battle suddenly had no more criticisms...
...
Zhou You, who planned to watch the replay of the exhibition match, did not stay in the player village for a long time, but returned to Pallet Town before everyone else and released all his elves in the backyard of Dr. Oak.
"The Quartz Conference is over. Thank you for suppressing your nature (except for taking care of filial sons) in the past few months, and spending most of your time eating, drinking, playing, and enjoying life on things that may not matter at all, such as getting stronger, fighting, and getting injured, which satisfied my and Eden's willful wishes.
"The next goal is to defeat the Four Heavenly Kings and become the champion, but this is not an easy task at all.
"Let's slow down the pace of the journey afterwards, walk and play together, enjoy life easily and happily, realize our own ideals, and work steadily and happily towards our goals!"
