Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game.

…………

To be honest, I've watched quite a few male commentators in matches with significant skill gaps this morning, but this is the first time I've seen a commentator end a match before even finishing their opening remarks.

A two-minute battle is hardly exciting, so there's nothing to reminisce about. The audience's discussion still revolved around Xia Chen.

He let the surging waves crash against his body as he faithfully carried out the task assigned to him by his trainer.

Jiang Pei, of course, would not sit idly by and wait for his doom.

To put it more seriously, this could affect the release of techniques like digging and earthquakes!

The hippopotamus opened its massive jaws, releasing Milotic from its jaws, but instead of closing them, it channeled its energy, blowing out a strange gust of wind containing unusual power.

The opponent is a standard sandstorm team.

His understanding of Xia Chen was limited to major events like discovering Sylveon and the legendary Pokémon incident; he knew very little about Xia Chen's expertise in Pokémon battles.

However, since Xia Chen had already said it wasn't necessary, she couldn't say anything more.

Having figured this out, Jiang Pei decisively abandoned his intention to pursue Milotic and immediately commanded, "Release it, blow it away!"

A Pikachu nimbly jumped off the fallen geranium and hopped onto the shoulder of a boy wearing a red and white training uniform and a red baseball cap.

Although it may seem a bit unfair, it is both a reward for the winner and a punishment for the loser.

Having dodged the poplars and the crimson, they finally encountered a tough opponent.

"is that so."

"I knew Master Pigeon was strong, but I didn't expect him to be this strong!"

However, as soon as the opponent switches Pokémon, a sharp rock containing Rock-type energy will appear and pierce the body of the newly entered Pokémon, causing considerable damage.

The effect of snow here is no longer that hail will cause slight continuous damage to non-ice-type Pokémon, but rather that it will increase the physical defense of ice-type Pokémon by about half.

Of course, if you can replace Milotic, the opponent's most feared unit, with Hippowdon, that's also an option.

With the [Snowfall] ability, the Ice-type Ninetales immediately erected the [Aurora Curtain], which is a combination of Light Screen and Reflector. Despite its many weaknesses, the Ice-type Pokémon was surprisingly tanky.

On the second day of the competition, Xia Chen won easily as well.

The main Pokémon are Ninetales, Darmanitan, and Ursaring.

It's not even as meaningful as those ridiculously blurry videos of Xia Chen's ranked matches on campus that look like they were filmed with a door lock.

After the draw ceremony, Xia Chen learned about his opponent's information.

Blown by the strange wind, Milotic immediately transformed into a streak of red light and returned to the Poké Ball on Xia Chen's waist.

But there's no rush now. Just like the hippopotamus that uses stealth rock even when it doesn't dodge water spray, he also needs to do his own thing first.

Before its four legs even touched the ground, the hippopotamus opened its enormous mouth, which could be up to two meters in diameter, and roared to the sky.

"Teacher Lin, is the Donghuang Youth Trainer Competition still open to participants from other regions?"

Wait a minute?

Simply put, a dojo is a place established by a highly renowned master or a large family, where trainers can train and learn the way.

In reality, the frozen beams shot from Milotic's mouth not only did not stop, but instead became thicker and larger.

He knew that the water jet was very powerful.

With the tides turning and the balance shifting, the two Pokémon's duel hasn't even begun, yet the scales of victory seem to have already tipped in favor of Excadrill.

Most Ground-type Pokémon can dig burrows faster than they can run on the ground; Hippowdon is one of them.

As Lin Quan passed by a field, he suddenly heard a soft exclamation from beside him.

The interval between the opening and closing whistles is only two minutes.

"As everyone knows, Cynthia also has a Milotic. With Pigeon Master and Milotic being so strong, it really makes one's imagination run wild."

Lin Quan stood there stunned for a moment, while Xia Chen snapped out of his reverie and walked forward.

Of course, Jiang Pei's Huangsha Dojo is definitely not as good as Ma Shide's dojo.

Over the next two days, the remaining 96 players in the winners' bracket will face off one by one, with the winners advancing directly to the main tournament.

It's somewhat good news, after all, it's better to avoid trouble.

Milotic's attack speed is truly terrifying.

His excellent professionalism surprised him for a moment, but he quickly turned his attention back to the competition itself.

The sand hippopotamus's characteristic [sand blowing] was activated as soon as the race began.

He was going to do something else that would disgust his opponent.

For example, the current abbot of the dojo, Tao Gongye, is the Sandstorm King who came from the Huangsha Dojo.

Water energy condensed, and a continuous stream of water spewed from Milotic's mouth, quickly forming waves that, driven by the energy, surged towards the hippo's location.

Amidst the casual chat in the live chat, the battlefield had already been roughly organized.

Therefore, Milotic, with its high Rain Dance skill level, fast move release speed, and ability to counter two Ground-type Pokémon, is the core of this match.

Not having to worry about being hit by attacks, Hippowdon focused intently on digging its tunnel, rapidly approaching Milotic in a straight line.

Meanwhile, Gardevoir, the Stealth Rock that had been lurking for so long, finally revealed its sharp fangs, piercing into the body of the newly entered Gardevoir, along with the flying sand and stones whistling across the field.

Xia Chen threw the ball faster, and he gave the command before Gardevoir had even fully landed.

…………

Information asymmetry is also one of the legitimate advantages that can be utilized in war.

"Calm down, it doesn't matter whether you unfollow or not. Master Pigeon has probably already forgotten his Pixiv account secrets."

Although its body was locked, its mouth and internal energy were not. Enduring the pain, Milotic spewed out a massive amount of water.

While Milotic was still creating the ice, he didn't hesitate to command, "Hippopotamus, go stop him!"

Although it looked impressive, it wasn't a big deal for them, so Teacher Lin Quan didn't organize a celebration banquet or anything like that.

Xia Chen found it a bit strange, but Ye wasn't in a hurry.

Jiang Pei is a fair-skinned, tall, and handsome young man.

Eating a powerful water spray that is double-superior to Hippomon is already bad enough; if it gets hit by an Ice Beam as well, Hippomon's condition will be extremely dangerous.

"It's highly likely. The opponent in this match is on a completely different level from the opponents in the previous two rounds. Even if Gardevoir is used, it's not guaranteed that we can win."

However, although it hit, it didn't hit completely.

Know yourself and the enemy, a hundred battles will never end.

A relatively rare sight in snowy weather.

Two Poké Balls were thrown, their white lights clashing.

In addition, there are almost no water-type or ice-type Pokémon living there, so he had no idea about this kind of strategy.

This means that Xia Chen, who had gone all out, resolved the 3v3 battle in just two minutes.

Hippowdon is definitely a weather setter with the [Sand Stream] ability. Before Shakiras evolves, it will most likely be the first to start the Sandstorm weather.

Unfortunately, there are no "what ifs".

Therefore, if Milotic were to fight Milotic head-on, Hippo would definitely fall first.

This is the soul that has allowed the Huangsha Dojo to endure for thousands of years.

Lin Quan was curious as to why Xia Chen would ask this question. She looked in the direction Xia Chen had been staring at and saw that the match on the battlefield had just ended.

Jiang Pei is one of the best young talents at Huangsha Dojo.

"It's on! The competition has begun!"

At this moment, Gu Minghao, who had not yet recovered from the shock, had already recalled Blaziken and replaced it with Iron Fist Warrior under the referee's urging.

The Sandstorm Team, as the name suggests, is a team that uses sandstorm weather as the main tactical focus throughout the competition.

A skilled trainer will utilize all of a Pokémon's unique characteristics to create an advantage.

Having grown accustomed to the intense competition within Beijing University, Xia Chen found playing in matches across the entire Donghuang region quite easy.

To be fair, Xia Chen played a lot of Sandstorm Team matches, but that was in the game.

"Wuhu, I heard that Master Pigeon has a competition soon. Even though it's only 10:30, I've already ordered takeout. Let's eat!"

Needless to say, the last one, the Duckbill Flame Beast, was also a no-brainer.

Anyway, given his and Crimson's strength, they'll definitely meet in the main tournament. Let's ask that question face to face then.

Then, the hippopotamus emerged from the ground, like a crocodile lurking beneath the surface of the water, and opened its two-meter-diameter maw, ferociously biting at Milotic, who was still frozen by the beam of ice.

Like many weather operators, Ice Ninetales was replaced after using Snow and Aurora.

In fact, the preliminary rounds adopted a double-elimination system, which already provides a higher margin of error for all participants.

The problem is that I had Hippowdon use Stealth Rock instead of Earthquake at the start, so Milotic's stamina wasn't depleted much at all.

The scene they had been waiting for for three days finally appeared, and Xia Chen's fans in the live stream instantly went wild.

…………

As soon as Excadrill entered the field, its body reacted with the sandstorm on the field in a strange way. The Sand Throw ability was activated, and Excadrill's true speed was secretly increased.

…………

The losers will fall into the losers' bracket and compete with the remaining contestants for the final sixteen spots.

"Your moves are released faster, making you more suitable for taking advantage of weather conditions than Sylveon."

Xia Chen's lineup doesn't depend on the weather, but he wants to annoy his opponents.

It was there that outstanding talents like Dan Di were born.

At this moment, a large flock of bean pigeons rushed to the live broadcast room after hearing the news.

Then, depending on the situation, you can use Stealth Rock, or Yawn for crowd control, or Blow Away enemies for tactical purposes, and if the situation allows, you can also deal damage.

Just one figure created the most intense barrage of comments in the entire live stream today.

"Milanos, surf!"

After the power was released, the audience gradually calmed down and continued to watch the game attentively.
