Chapter 336 Doubles Cup
Zhou You thought that before the Bodao Brave Festival in Orudran City, he would continue playing cards, fishing, bird racing, being taught knowledge by the black and white dragons in turn during the day and night, and becoming stronger while playing with the elves.
But in the evening of the day he came back, a manager who was almost forgotten by him launched a series of fatal calls to him.
"Qiao Qiao, I have good news for you!"
Ashida's excited voice sounded, and his excitement could be felt even through the phone: "Double battles have officially become official competitions in the Hoenn region! And in order to commemorate and increase the popularity among trainers, there will be a grand double battle competition soon!"
"Double match?" Zhou You was a little surprised. It turned out that the doubles that became popular in Hoenn in the gem version had already had a preliminary competition at this time.
"That's right!"
"6 choose 4, unlimited number of skills, mandatory duo participation, first prize worth tens of thousands! Didn't you tell me before that you prefer doubles? I called to tell you after hearing the news!"
That's nice. Zhou You silently gave Yashida a thumbs up in his heart. Compared with singles, he really prefers doubles, which has richer tactical options and a hundred or eighty thoughts hidden in one action.
Players with simple characteristics like him are very restrained and read masters first.
But he soon noticed that this competition requires doubles to participate: "Does it have to be a double? Can't one person command two Pokémon?"
"Double doubles, it must be two trainers and two Pokémon to be called doubles." Yashida explained in a matter-of-fact tone, "Pokémon battles change rapidly, it is impossible to wait for you to finish thinking and choose skills before continuing the round. It requires too much ability from the trainer to command two Pokémon by one person. It is almost impossible!"
In the same level of competition, even if Red appeared in person, he would definitely not be able to beat two Reds.
This is a very simple and easy to understand truth.
In other words, as long as you stop being a human, no, as long as you can have a dual-threaded thinking, you can play it alone...
Unless you are a superpower like Nancy, it seems unlikely to do this.
Therefore, you have to change your mindset. As long as you are strong enough to let the elves crush you, it will be fine. Although one Red Red cannot beat two Red Reds, it can definitely beat two Zhou You.
Having said that, it is a rule that must be followed to force two people to participate.
"No problem, I will participate. Can you help me register for the Battle Frontier?"
While expressing his willingness to participate with Yashida, Zhou You was thinking about who he should invite to go if he had to compete in pairs.
Because he rarely fights with strangers (too weak to play, it's boring), there are not many trainers he is familiar with:
Xiaozhi, Green, Leaf, Alice... No more, if humans are not required to register, Eden can also transform into a human and team up with him.
Zhou You then realized belatedly that he seemed to have few human friends.
Xiaozhi is currently preparing for the Challenger Cup of the Orange Islands. Qinglu may not be interested in such a competition. Yezi is running to the wild every day to observe the elves and record the ecology. Alice is far away in Unova and should be an apprentice at the Double Dragon Gym.
"Ashida, let me ask you a question. Does the trainer on the other side of the doubles combination have to be human? Can the elves sign up?" Zhou You finally raised this question.
Of course, Eden can also command, and he must use his own elves, which is much stronger than teaming up with strangers. Even when the fight is in a white-hot stage, it can still leave the field by itself.
It's simply a perfect doubles teammate!
There was silence on the other side of the phone for a long time. I don't know if Yashida misunderstood something.
Finally, the person on the other side of the phone asked: "How about I help you find an excellent doubles teammate?"
"Is it so urgent? I can find one myself. When will the competition start?" Zhou You seemed to notice that the other party was a little anxious.
Yashida said truthfully: "Tomorrow afternoon."
"How can I find teammates if you call me tonight for tomorrow afternoon's game!?" Zhou You was speechless and hurriedly dressed to go out, "Wait a minute, I'll go back to Pallet Town to ask Qinglu if he wants to participate."
Also check if Ye Zi is there. If he is, we can play a sunny combination. Otherwise, when teaming up with Qinglu, we have to consider who will be the main weather and who will be the auxiliary.
However, it's not that X-spray can't fight in the rain. Anyway, it's not weak to water and ice monsters. Even in the rain, brothers can help deal with the more difficult rock attribute Pokémon.
Only a genius can understand that it is.
"It's you who was not in the service area before!"
Many equipment on Asia Island were blown up by Zekrom, resulting in Zhou You being out of the service area for the past two days.
"Qiao Qiao, I know you're in a hurry, but don't be in a hurry, just listen to me."
Hearing the sound of packing from the other end of the conversation, Yashida recommended a teammate on the spot: "What do you think of Lila?"
"Lila?"
It was a familiar name, as if he had heard it somewhere before, but Zhou You couldn't quite remember it.
"Don't tell me you've forgotten. Didn't we agree to fight again later on the girl who used Latias and Raikou at Miacha Mountain?" Yashida reminded helplessly.
"Of course, I still remember. Her... 4-attack electric Raikou impressed me deeply."
"Hehe, after three months of training, Lila is no longer the same as before. Even Latias and Raikou acknowledge her strength. She is definitely an excellent doubles teammate."
Probably proud of her ability to discover and train trainers, Yashida's tone was very proud: "If you can't find someone right away, I'll just fill in your names."
"No problem, I'm not very picky about teammates. I'll just play and get used to each other when the time comes." Zhou You didn't care who his teammates were. The people Yashida chose shouldn't be too bad.
In fact, Yashida had deliberately delayed the news until the last minute to inform the other party, and he had obviously expected this: "Very good, then what are the three Pokémon you will use in the first round?"
"Charizard, Arcanine, and Zoroark."
Leaflete was not there again, and Kumaon had just joined the team. Xiaozi and Xiaoxianna were both seeded players who were scheduled to be the main force in the Hoenn League next year. Zhou You naturally submitted the old three.
"An old team member who fits your style very well." Yashida wrote it down, and then proposed, "Then how about letting Lila help you play support? After reflecting on the battle with you, she provided some diverse fighting methods for Pokémons, and is very good at using psychic Pokémons to control the situation."
In short, after discovering that his lineup would be penetrated by a Zoroark, he learned from his mistakes and started to fill in the blind spots.
Zhou You naturally accepted it with pleasure. Which output doesn't like support?
"In that case, tell me your address, and I will pick you up to go to Hoenn now."
"No need, I will fly there myself tomorrow."
