He knows Pokémon better than me

From then on, all the matches of the quarterfinals were over.

The end time was about half an hour after noon, which was much later than the scheduled time.

"Well, it took a little longer, but it's not a big problem."

Kukui has changed back into his normal doctor's clothes, ready to reunite with Satoshi and the others.

The quarterfinals ended around lunchtime. If it was at 1 or 2 in the afternoon, it would be too late.

During the intermission, the audience left their seats and had their lunch.

Xiaozhi and his group still chose to have a picnic on a flat cliff outside the venue, spread out the camping blanket, and look up to enjoy the spectacular snow-capped mountain scenery.

Today, everyone's enthusiasm is much higher than yesterday.

After all, everyone has been eliminated, so naturally there is no psychological burden.

While putting out the prepared food, everyone was also discussing heatedly matters related to the Alliance Conference.

"I am mentally balanced now. No wonder I am in the top 16. The players who made it to the top 8 are so strong!"

"Hmm~ I think the top 16 result can be boasted about for half a year?"

After watching the game in the morning, Kachimao and his companions regained a lot of confidence.

Let's not talk about Xiaozhi, the Royal Masked Men are these ruthless people

Even Aserola, Kahili and others who were eliminated in the quarterfinals were incredibly strong!

"But the semi-finals this afternoon should be even more interesting~!"

Mamane grabbed a spoon and ate the ice cream for lunch, her face full of anticipation.

The four people who advanced to the semi-finals were Ash, Gladion, Mangetsu, and the Royal Masked Man.

It just so happens that three of them are here now.

"Will the first match be between Xiaozhi and Man Yue?"

"Hey, it doesn't matter what happens, I just want to see Satoshi-sensei fight the Royal Masked Man!"

"Anyway, whether it's Teacher Xiaozhi or Teacher Man Yue, they don't want them to lose. Oh, and it seems there's a brother too?"

Since the list of players for the afternoon match had not yet been announced, several people couldn't help but start a heated discussion.

Xiaozhi and Man Yue, who were the center of the topic, looked at each other.

The latter shrugged, with no sign of nervousness on his face.

Man Yue’s idea is very simple. If facing the other two, just fight normally. If facing Xiaozhi, just go direct!

"Haha~ Anyway, let's look forward to the game this afternoon, everyone~!"

Dr. Kukui laughed loudly while eating his sandwich.

As the organizer, he actually already knew the order of the afternoon's matches, and his face was filled with excitement and anticipation!

In the afternoon, after the intermission, the audience returned to their seats one after another.

The referee is in place and the information about the two teams in the first half of the semi-finals is officially announced.

The King of the Island, Hara, said in a clear voice:

"The first match is between Satoshi and Gladion!!"

After these words were spoken, many people instantly perked up, especially Lusamine, whose expression changed slightly.

It’s my own son who is in trouble!

"Oh Gladion, the first match is ours~ Let's have an all-out battle~"

Waiting for the battle zone, Xiaozhi smiled at Gladion.

He doesn't care. He can accept any of the three opponents in the semi-finals.

I have been training for so long just to have a formal battle with this man, and now the day has finally come!

Then the two of them walked onto the field side by side, leaving only Man Yue and Kukui, who had changed back into his masked man costume.

"Haha~ Man Yue, it looks like the second half of the game will be ours~!"

Kukui laughed loudly with a grin.

“.”

Man Yue said nothing, but just glanced at Kukui with fixed eyes, trying hard not to complain.

Kukui scratched his head. He felt as if Man Yue had seen through his underwear. This shouldn't be the case. He should have hidden it very well!

However, Man Yue was relieved that his opponent in the semi-finals was Dr. Kukui.

Then he perked up and quickly thought about his own response lineup in his mind.

On the other side, Xiaozhi and Gladion were already standing at the two ends of the field. Hala raised her hand to signal:

"Let me first tell you that the number of Pokémon that each side can use in the semi-finals is three. Please consider your own battle lineup. Now, please send out the first Pokémon!"

Xiaozhi and Gladion nodded and threw out Poké Balls at the same time. Of course, Gladion's was a Deluxe Ball.

Bang!

The red light fell, and Xiaozhi's first starter was the Alola instructor Garagara. As soon as he appeared on the scene, he shook his bone stick and danced the Wera Volcano dance on the spot.

Although Garagara is now focused on the teaching round, it is the Alola Tournament after all, so Xiaozhi still plans to let it appear once.

The latest novel is published first on Liu9shuba!

On the other side, Gladion's starting lineup is the Silver Companion Beast!

"No, it's a luxury ball."

Xiaozhi reacted instantly and realized that this should be Zoroark in disguise as the "Silver Companion Beast", and it was the same tactic as before.

"Gargh, use hot air!!"

Galagala understood what he meant and turned the bone stick in his hand, blowing out a scorching cyclone that covered the entire venue like a high-power fan.

The power is not that high. After all, Garagara is a Pokémon that focuses on physical attacks, and its special attack moves are quite useless.

But as long as there is harm, that's fine.

call out.!

Affected by the heat wind, the edge of the "Silver Companion War Beast"'s body quickly began to disperse and fluctuate, and finally revealed the true appearance of a dark red-haired fox.

"Tsk, was it discovered from the beginning?"

Gladion frowned.

And Galagala had already rushed up with a bone stick in his hand. On the way, he rubbed the front end of the bone stick against the skull, which immediately ignited a dangerous green ghost fire.

Shadow Bones wielded in melee combat!

"Zoroark, use Dark Blast!!"

Gladion quickly called out this exclusive move.

Zoroark quickly rubbed out a black and purple ball of light with his hands and slammed it to the ground.

Boom! !

The light ball exploded with a loud bang, and the powerful evil aura energy spread out in all directions. The first to be hit was Galagala, whose face was hit by the energy, and his bone stick was lifted up.

"Gala!"

It hurts so much, I’m afraid it really hurts!

Now, Garagara is a ghost + fire attribute Pokémon, and is restrained by dark attribute moves.

"Now, use Shadow Claw!!"

Under the cover of the dark blasting mist, Zoroark suddenly rushed towards Gara Gara, his scarlet claws covered with dark light, slashing repeatedly.

Bang! Bang! Bang!

Galagala quickly crossed the bone stick and blocked it left and right, and the shadow claws hit the bone stick with a series of explosions.

"Gala!"

Being forced to retreat, Galagala looked surprised.

You little fox are quite capable, aren't you?!

"Galala, stop playing tutorial games and kill your opponent!"

Xiaozhi quickly reminded him that Gara Gara's actions clearly showed that he treated Zoroark as a Garou who needed to be educated!
