Chapter 737: Road to the Championship! First Round Qualification
"Come on, Teacher Lu!"
A tide of cheers echoed throughout the venue.
The trainer's figure on the screen instantly moved countless viewers! The first round of the Champion Road level requires winning ten singles games in a row to pass.
Challengers appear randomly and follow the format of attack and defense. When a trainer wins ten games in a row, he will automatically advance and the other players will continue to fight.
This form of competition, in order to avoid physical exhaustion, is full of the violent aesthetics of instant kills and strong attacks.
Whether it was the trainers or the audience, their adrenaline was soaring! In the stands, Caidou sat upright, with his fists on his knees. Amid the noisy crowd, his face was serious: "Master..."
Ma Shide put one hand behind his back, stroked his beard, and said with a smile: "Lu Yezi is very popular."
President Tang said with emotion: "Because of his past experience, audiences from other alliances came from thousands of miles away to support him."
"Although he doesn't have a championship title yet, he has already achieved many championship feats!"
“No matter how strong a champion is, there will come a time when he loses.”
Ma Shide's eyes under his long white eyebrows were gentle. He looked at Lu Ye as if he was looking at the Dan Emperor or his past self. He smiled and said:
"The road to becoming a champion is full of randomness, so I dare not make any rash conclusions, but... the strong may not necessarily be the winner, but the winner must be the strong."
"Are you talking about the importance of luck, Master?" asked Sabolli.
Ma Shide shook his head slightly, his eyes flickering:
"When a trainer reaches the top and becomes the league champion... he will definitely become stronger."
The commentator's voice echoed passionately: "Both players are in place! Lu Ye took out his signature Rotom illustrated book! This is his usual style, a personal live broadcast room from a first-person perspective!"
Mr. Lu's live broadcast Rotom, like Chibana's selfie Rotom, has been recognized by the event organizers and the audience.
The Rotom Atlas floated in the air, and viewers flocked into the live broadcast room. Seeing the back of the black-haired young man standing on the stage of the Road to Champion, they all shed tears.
"I've been a fan for ten years and finally got to see Lu Bao on his way to becoming the champion!"
“It’s on fire!”
"Even if the king comes today, the road to championship is still the baby cup!"
The commentator said, "The blue player is from the Kalos region, the champion of the tournament from Miare City two years ago, Mo Geng!"
"The red player, from the Demon City in the Donghuang region, Lu Ye - he sent out his Pokémon first!"
A beam of red light fell onto the field.
Windy's eyes were wide open, its flowing mane fluttering in the wind, its body was covered with black and orange stripes like a tiger, and its shiny hair sparkled in the sun.
“Ouch!!!”
The fierce and domineering roar and majestic appearance instantly conquered the hearts of countless audiences! "The wind speed dog from the ancient Eastern legend! Its galloping figure has impressed countless trainers from ancient times to the present!"
Mo Geng, wearing an orange windbreaker, stared at the admirable trainer, adjusted his breathing, and threw a high-level ball:
"Go ahead, Absol!"
Absol landed lightly on the ground, his limbs crossed forward and backward, his forehead covered with white hair, and a black sickle extended from his forehead.
"Absol, the Pokémon that brings news of disasters, is often misunderstood by people, but is actually a very kind Pokémon that is willing to help humans."
The narrator said, "Its super-evolved form was first discovered in Kalos, and it possesses amazing power to quell chaos!"
The audience held their breath.
Absol's deep pupils met Arcanine's upright pupils.
The referee suddenly waved the flag: "The game begins!"
"Absol——"
Mo Geng had no intention of underestimating the enemy, and the keystone bracelet burst into a dazzling light.
"Mega Evolution!!"
“Scared!!”
Absol raised his head and screamed, the white hair on his shoulders stood up like wings, the hair on his forehead covered his left eye, and the black sickle protruded, the breath of angel and devil coexisted! The light of evolution illuminated the venue, and the audience looked surprised.
"Player Mo Geng chose Mega Evolution right at the start!!" said the commentator.
Lu Ye stretched out his arm and said, "Fast!"
Arcanine strode forward, pounced nimbly, and quickly cut a streak of white light, followed by a sonic boom!
Super Absol's body lit up with a layer of emerald protective barrier, resisting for half a second, and then shattered with a "crack" sound! "Sharp stone attack!!" Mo Geng shouted loudly.
After being knocked away, Super Absol landed lightly, its sharp claws stepped on the ground, white light surged from the ground, and there was a roar and vibration, and rows of rock pillars protruded! "The sharp stone attack doubles the restraint on Arcanine, and Lu Ye - he chose to let Arcanine charge directly!!" The commentator's eyes widened.
"Flash charge!" Lu Ye shouted.
Windy's body burst into flames, transforming into an orange-yellow figure that looked like a flaming chariot and shattered into a row of rock pillars!
Boom! !
The room temperature rose and the audience's lips and tongues became dry.
"Flash Charge, directly breaking through the blockade of the rock pillar!!"
After smashing the rock pillar, Arcanine's momentum increased instead of decreasing. Its agile body intertwined orange flames, and it moved its limbs to continue to crash into Super Absol! Morgan's pupils contracted, and he shouted, "Absol, see through!"
Absol's red eyes lit up, and he was startled. The Flash Charge was so close that there was no escape! Boom! !
The stadium shook, and Super Absol flew backwards, its white fur covered with scorch marks, and fell to the ground. With a "bang", it lost its Mega form and fell into a coma!
The black smoke dissipated.
“Ouch!!!”
Windy Dog stood tall on the field, majestic as a lion, roaring with its head held high.
Mo Geng stared at Windspeed blankly and sighed softly.
Complete... one-sided suppression! "Super Absol was killed instantly?"
"It's back, all my baby cups are back!"
"The difference in strength is too great."
"Champion, this is the champion trainer's Arcanine!"
The commentator said: "After the first victory, there was no rest period, and the next player came on stage..."
The words haven't finished yet.
BANG!!
The huge characters of Wind Speed Dog exploded into flames, bombarding the billboard at the edge of the venue, leaving a huge charcoal pit!
"The big character explosion...I missed it after all." Lu Ye said with a headache.
My hit rate with this move is less than 30%! "You are worthy of it 2333"
“I didn’t expect to see such a great collection of highlights on the road to championship!”
The second trainer, the runner-up of the previous Unova Conference, opened his mouth.
Although the big character explosion of fire missed...but the oppressive feeling was too strong! His super giant claw mantis, four times weak fire, was now covered with cold sweat on his forehead!
The trainer looked back at the charcoal pit.
Knowing that he had no hope of winning, he decided to wear down Arcanine's strength: "Mantis, use Bullet Punch!"
The super giant mantis rushed out, and its two giant pincers emitted a silver glow like bullets!
"Windspeed, jet of fire!!"
“Ouch!!”
Windy opened its mouth wide, and a raging column of fire gushed out of its mouth, and the flames swallowed the Mantis that was flying towards it!
The bullet punch landed, leaving a faint punch mark on Windy Dog's chest, but the effect was minimal.
The flames dissipated, and the giant mantis fell to its knees with its head lowered. Its two giant pincers hung limply, and then it fell to the ground with a "thump".
"The winner is contestant Lu Ye!"
The referee waved the flag.
Next to the French window on the second floor of the viewing area, Shang Ren, the champion, folded his arms and said coldly:
"This Arcanine's flames...are not inferior to my Flaming Hawk at all."
Ji Shiyin glanced at Shang Ren indifferently.
How can you flatter yourself like this?
"How long did it take you to pass this level?" Ji Shiyin asked coldly.
"Three hours... was the fastest record that year." Shang Ren said proudly.
Ji Shiyin pointed at the glass window and said calmly, "He just defeated the third contestant."
"Hey! The third game is over? It's only been less than ten minutes!"
"Hmm..." Ji Shiyin's expression also looked a little strange.
"Woo..." The electric dragon lay on the ground, his face showing pain and shrouded in a shadow.
Windy Dog turned his back to the sun, bared his fangs, and showed a kind smile: "Awoo~"
"Woo!" The electric dragon's eyes rolled back and he fainted, with circles under his eyes.
The commentator said: "Instant kill, another instant kill! Mega Electric Dragon was taken away directly by Godspeed!"
"I got up, but was defeated in seconds. What's there to say?"
"Mr. Lu: As a champion, it makes sense for me to get the champion Pokémon and fight my way to the championship."
Backcourt.
"This gap in hard power..."
President Tang whispered: "This is truly a champion-level wind speed dog."
Legend has it that in ancient times, the wind speed dog galloped across the Donghuang Continent and dispelled the long night of darkness.
People's love for Windspeed is like the admiration of the people of Unova for Vulcan Moth.
It has been a long time since a trainer from Donghuang was able to train Arcanine to such a level.
Seeing the heroic performance of Arcanine on the field, President Tang, who was familiar with the mythology, felt a little excited! Clara looked at her master and said, "In the next game, Arcanine's opponent is Milotic."
"As far as I know, Mr. Dandi and Mr. Lu both like to teach Pokémon moves that expand their attack range." Saiboli pushed the frame.
"It will be over soon." Ma Shide said with his hands behind his back and a smile.
In the fourth game, the Milotic trainer decided to fight a war of attrition.
The water flow circles intertwined into a water curtain, covering the cream-colored body of Milotic. The turbid current turned into two clusters of water arrows and flew towards Arcanine's eyes! Bang! Bang! Arcanine used the side of its body to block the water arrows, raised its head and roared, a round of white light gathered in its mouth, and then flew into the sky, dispersing the clouds!
The sun is shining brightly.
"It's a sunny day! Windy Dog has changed the weather of the venue, which will reduce the power of water-type moves!"
The other party realized that Mr. Lu was going to use the solar beam tactics of the wind speed dog, and said calmly:
"Mienshao, use Hold!"
As expected, Lu Ye said: "Windspeed Dog, move at high speed!!"
The audience and the live broadcast room exclaimed at the same time.
"Oh my god, I'm so greedy!"
"This is the right way to read the opponent's defense!"
"Do I have to read the opponent's moves when fighting the Baby Cup?!"
The trainers in the backfield cast resentful gazes.
I couldn't win in the first place, but you gave Teacher Lu a chance to strengthen himself! Although if it were me... I would also be badly beaten by Teacher Lu...
The opponent's forehead was covered with cold sweat. Seeing Arcanine circling to the side of Milotic at a very fast speed, it was too late to order "Get out of the way"!
'Windspeed, Sunbeam.'
Lu Ye’s induction sounded.
The Sunlight Beam on a sunny day doesn't need to be charged, so don't shout it out, secretly use the power of super-conquer to sense it, it will be easier to hit! "Ouch!!"
A crystal white ball of light burst out from the mouth of Windy Dog, and the sunlight turned into light fragments that continued to pour in. The power was accumulated in an instant, and the sunlight beam surged out!
"Fu~"
Milotic let out a whine and was engulfed by the flames of the sun. Its cream-colored body was burned with scorch marks, its head drooped, and black smoke was emitted.
"Mienshao withstood it with amazing special defense! But the next round of attack from Arcanine——"
BANG!!
“Ouch~~”
Windy showed no mercy and charged forward at great speed, knocking Milotic out of the field in an instant!
Boom! Mienshao landed on the ground, with circles in his eyes.
"Mienshao's charming body has no effect at all!" The other party held his head in confusion.
“Ouch…”
The big dog looked at the fallen Milotic and breathed a sigh of relief.
This is the lesson learned from the big sister -
The more beautiful the Pokémon, the more ferocious and dangerous it is!
Little Minasi, don't try to fool me!
"The winner of the fourth match is Lu Ye!"
The opponent in the fifth game sent out the fast and agile Flying Legs Man, but he could not keep up with the speed of the Windy Dog and was suppressed by it.
In the sixth game, the trainer from Alola commanded Snorla to use his exclusive Z-move!
"Snorlax, get serious and attack hard!!"
"Kirby!!"
The white light of the Z bracelet surged towards Snorlax, and its huge body gradually began to glow red.
Snorlax opened his squinting eyes, with a strong desire to destroy surging in his heart. He took a big step and rushed towards Arcanine with all his strength!
The ground rumbled and shook.
The audience swallowed their saliva.
The gentle Snorlax can actually be in such a violent state! It's like a mountain that is crushing down on you, giving you a strong sense of oppression!
"Windspeed, block it."
Snorlax's trainer was stunned.
Did I hear you right? Block? That's not even a move name!
I used a Z move, and you didn't even want to use a defensive move! "Snorlax, crush it!" the trainer said angrily.
"Kirby!!"
Snorlax tried his best to crash into Arcanine.
Windy Dog also sacrificed himself to collide with it!
Boom!!! The venue shook and the audience swallowed their saliva.
"Really... I blocked it..."
"Use A to block Z move?"
There was a moment of silence, and the stirred dust dissipated.
"Snorlax..." Snorlax was startled and tiny beads of sweat ran down his forehead.
"Awooo!" Windspeed pressed its head against Snorlax's belly, baring its teeth and showing a cruel smile.
Then, Arcanine's head lifted up Snorlax's entire body, and the huge Snorlax's limbs were suspended in the air, waving continuously.
"Kirby, Kirby!"
The audience was shocked: "Guess what Snorlax said..."
"I guess, put me down..."
Boom! Arcanine shook off Snorlax, its head glowing like an iron head, and charged forward brazenly!
"The winner is Lu Ye!!"
Caidou still maintained the posture of a good student, with her fists on her knees, her eyes shining: "Master's Ardennes is so powerful."
The move just now even includes fighting skills - it was inspired by Mr. Lu from Xiaozhi Charizard's Earth Throw! Spectator area.
Ji Shiyin glanced at her watch: "Hmm...half an hour, six wins in a row."
Raising her eyes, Ji Shiyin looked at Shang Ren silently.
"Hmph, not bad!" Shang Ren said coldly.
The sunlight was slanting, and a black-haired young man was standing on the field, the hem of his shirt fluttering in the wind.
Lu Ye looked up at the scoreboard and murmured, "Four more games..."
"Then."
The wind speed dog in front of Lu Ye stood still on all fours and roared threateningly at the next contestant who was about to enter the contestant channel.
In the live broadcast room from a personal perspective, I heard Teacher Lu muttering calmly to himself.
"Next one."
In the seventh game, the opponent sent out the Steel-attribute Boskodora.
"Boskodora——Mega Evolution!!"
The white light dissipated, and Super Boskodora's steel armor became stronger and stronger. He revealed a fierce smile, and his pupils suddenly contracted.
An orange-red figure, swept by surging flames, looked like a charging chariot of fire, exploding and roaring!
boom!!
The incredibly heavy Boskodora was knocked away and fell to the ground with a loud thud. A huge dent sank into the ground, and spider-web-like cracks appeared!
The scene was silent and the audience stared with wide eyes.
"One round...take him away directly..." The commentator's voice also weakened.
"Next one."
Blue light spots were hazy, Lu Ye's black hair was fluttering with the waves of wave force, and his tone was flat.
Instead of the usual loud roar, the live broadcast room was filled with barrages!
In the viewing area, the Four Heavenly Kings were sitting quietly.
Taoist priest Wang Binghe, dressed in a Taoist robe, stroked his beard and smiled, "This little brother has a unique waveguide."
"Bodao?" Ji Shiyin asked.
"Same as me... no, he is a higher-level wave guide messenger than me." said Taoist Wang.
"Is it the same special ability as my dragon power?" Ji Shiyin gradually understood.
Shang Ren had a strange look on his face and said nothing.
Isn't it just a special ability? It's as if everyone has it...
Damn it, I really don’t have one! The eighth victim appears.
Kocha, a contestant from Hoenn.
The commentator said: "Kocha is a contender for the Four Heavenly Kings of Hoenn. He once challenged the Champions League of Hoenn... He is very powerful!"
Lu Ye glanced at Arcanine.
“Ouch!”
Windspeed shook off the sweat beads on his mane, smiled fiercely, and was full of fighting spirit!
Kocha threw the Poké Ball: "Please, Blastoise!"
"It's Blastoise?"
"Isn't this Mr. Lu's signature Pokémon?"
"The physiques of each dart turtle are different, so we can't generalize..."
"Camme!"
Blastoise wears a Mega Stone device on its forehead and has sharp eyes.
Lu Ye felt emotional.
Placing the Mega Stone in such an obvious place is still too unstable.
If this was a wild fight, the device would be smashed directly, and even Mega Evolution wouldn't be possible...
Kocha knew what Mr. Lu was thinking. He would definitely scold him for being a 'bastard'. He raised the keystone bracelet high and shouted: "Blazoo, Mega Evolution!!"
The light faded.
Mega Blastoise set up a huge cannon on its back, aimed the launchers on its two arms at Arcanine, and three streams of water merged into one water cannon and fired it with a "bang"!
The wind speed dog was unable to dodge and was knocked back half a step by the water cannon. It bared its teeth and growled: "Ouch..."
Kocha was very pleased.
Although it is a round-robin battle, it would still be worth bragging about if we can defeat Teacher Lu!
"Is this a water cannon?" Lu Ye frowned slightly.
"How about it! How many hits of this powerful water cannon can Windy Dog withstand with its remaining strength!"
Lu Ye remained silent.
This water cannon is as powerful as Turtle's water gun.
You call this a water cannon?
In the Big Dogs’ internal competition, Turtle Turtle had to withstand the water cannon, let alone the water gun…
Seeing this, Kocha raised his lip corners and commanded: "Bluse Turtle, use the water cannon continuously!"
"Camme!"
Blastoise set up the turret, and the continuous water cannon formed three surging water columns, which flew towards Arcanine with a roar!
"Crazy Volt." Lu Ye said.
The Windy Dog, which was staggered by the water cannon, suddenly moved.
The audience opened their eyes wide as they saw the gravel on the field flying up due to the lightning-fast charge of the Windy Dog.
A straight line plowed the ground, with blue electric lights interlaced in the dirt path.
Arcanine was like blue thunder, sweeping in a straight line, tearing apart the water column, and passing by Blastoise in a flash of lightning!
It was not a still picture. Everyone was stunned for a second, and then Blastoise fell to the ground with a thud! The referee also couldn't understand what had just happened.
The Super Blastoise, which originally had the advantage, was reversed in a second and fell to the ground unconscious!
"Intertwined power?"
Taoist Wang suddenly widened his eyes, his face full of surprise.
Why does a wind speed dog possess the power of black and white dragons!
Ji Shiyin remained silent.
I suspect that your Wind Speed Dog is a dragon in disguise, and I have sufficient evidence...
Shang Ren turned his back to the two of them and remained aloof.
The power of intersection... has nothing to do with me...
Kocha's smile froze on his face, his eyes were blank. He glanced at the fallen Blastoise, then looked at Lu Ye.
"Your Blastoise is pretty good with the water gun."
Teacher Lu smiled slightly.
Kocha was confused, but it was clearly a water cannon...
"Hahaha, killing people and destroying their hearts!"
"Don't take Turtle's water cannon as normal!"
The audience was in an uproar.
"Next one." Lu Ye looked towards the contestant channel.
Uncontrollable cheers echoed in the stadium.
Caidou straightened her back, her spine trembling slightly, her eyes sparkling with little stars: "Master... so handsome..."
The ninth person was a streamer. After he introduced himself, there was a burst of "Wow!" in the live broadcast room.
"It's true that everyone in the world is a friend!"
"It turns out that the road to the championship is not only the Baby Cup, but also the Amateur Tournament..."
"Teacher Lu beat the water friends with extremely cruel methods!"
As soon as the game started, Lu Ye said calmly: "Windspeed Dog, Morning Light!"
Arcanine raised its head and howled, the sunlight surged with light fragments, converging into its body, tiny flames ignited, and its injuries recovered at a speed visible to the naked eye!
"After fighting for an hour, I found that the Boss was at full health."
“It’s so hopeless… This is the feeling of oppression from Teacher Lu.”
The fan's Nidoking was no match for Windy Hound, and five minutes later, he fell under Windy Hound's iron head.
beep--
The big screen showed that Lu Ye had won nine games in a row, and he would advance successfully if he won one more game! And the timer showed that only one hour had passed, and he was expected to break the record for the fastest clearance! The last challenger walked out of the contestant channel, Master Ji Lie from the Fire Gym.
He is hailed as the senior master who has the greatest potential to become the King of Fire, and he once met Emperor Yan.
Ji Lie took out the advanced ball and said in a deep voice, "For some reason, I sensed a familiar aura on your Wind Speed Dog."
"I will use Pokémon battles to verify my judgment." Ji Lie threw the advanced ball.
"Go ahead, King Yanwu!!"
Boom! !
King Yanwu landed on the ground, with flame patterns surging on his black and gold abdomen, orange flames burning on his shoulders, and a sturdy physique.
Lu Ye was slightly stunned.
As we all know, the Blazing Monkey is nicknamed the Big Brother, and the Flame King is nicknamed the Second Big Brother...
As for the aura that Ji Lie mentioned, it should be related to the fire of life bestowed by Emperor Yan.
The characteristic of this Flame King is "Self-Sacrifice", which can enhance the power of self-sacrifice moves, but it is far less than the increase in the power of intersection.
Ji Lie didn't think so, and said in a serious tone: "King Yanwu, Flash Flame Charge!!"
BANG!!
The ground beneath King Yanwu's feet cracked, gravel flew up, flames on his shoulders surged, and the flames rising into the sky enveloped King Yanwu.
"roar!!!"
Teacher Lu glanced at Windy Dog, only to see that Windy Dog turned its head and nodded fiercely: "Ouch!"
Lu Ye nodded and said: "Windspeed Dog, Flash Charge!!"
boom!!
The orange flames shot up into the sky, covering the wind speed dog, and there were pale blue electric lights in between, and the heat waves surged! The audience held their breath.
Boom, boom!
Windy Dog stretched out his limbs, King Yanwu strode with great strides, and the two collided with flashes of fire! No one had imagined that they were evenly matched.
Master Ji Lie's pupils contracted, he could not understand, and confusion lingered in his heart.
How is that possible?
One-sided crushing.
The Heavenly King-level Yanwu King confronted for no more than two seconds before giving up thinking! Boom! Boom!
Black smoke rose from the explosion.
King Yanwu's back was charred black and he fell in front of Windy Dog.
beep--
The loud electronic sound echoed in the silent venue.
The timer stopped at 1 hour and 10 minutes.
Ji Shiyin looked at Shang Ren silently again.
"Well, prepare for the next round of assessment." Shang Ren turned and ran away.
"Ouch! ()"
On the field, Windy Dog showed an honest smile, and his mane sparkled in the sun.
The audience erupted in cheers.
“Big dogs are so cute!”
"Teacher Lu: I can beat ten more!!"
Master Ji Lie finally came to his senses and shook his head: "My intuition is not wrong..."
That was the same fire of life that surged with abundant physical energy as Emperor Yan! "All ten matches are over. Let us congratulate Lu Ye for his successful advancement."
The narrator took a deep breath and said:
“We witnessed history, the first round of levels, and the birth of the fastest clearance record!”
