I, Zhulan's childhood sweetheart, was trapped in Xicui.

The huge blizzard also turned the battlefield into a vast expanse of white. The Snow Demon Girl, who fully utilized her snow-hiding ability, made it difficult for Darkrai to find her target for a while.

A slight smile curled up Platinum's lips.

This was the battle plan that Xu Li suggested yesterday. I didn't expect it to be so effective. Fortunately, when my father told me to go to bed yesterday, I specifically asked Xu Li for advice. Otherwise, it would be really difficult to find a way to defeat Darkrai today.

Even after being severely injured by Gengar and having his energy absorbed, Darkrai, who had competed in the qualifiers for seven consecutive days and was extremely weak and exhausted, was difficult for the Snow Demon Girl to deal with.

Time on the battlefield slowly passed as Darkrai searched for the Snow Demon Girl.

Darkrai, who was suffering from paralysis and burns, was extremely irritable. He swung the shadow ball with all his might, blowing up the remaining snow on the ground. However, he could not find the Snow Demon Girl who was hiding with all her strength for a while, and let the negative state rush through his body.

But snow will eventually melt. Furthermore, the climate of Suzuran Island is a rare warm spot in the Sinnoh region.

The Snow Demon Girl was finally found by Darkrai. The extremely angry Dark Cave suddenly waved his hand and descended upon it.

"Snow Queen has lost her ability to fight. Please ask Platinum to replace her Pokémon as soon as possible."

"Thank you for your hard work, Snow Fairy."

Platinum murmured, then summoned a blue-black penguin with a metallic aura all over its body and a dazzling crown on its head.

——Emperor Nabo.

"Poga~Poga!"

In the audience, Pogaman, held by Hikaru, waved his arms in a flash of joy, his eyes sparkling. But he felt a pang of frustration. He had been training so hard, yet there was no sign of evolution.

Xiao Guang seemed to sense Pogaman's thoughts and said helplessly, "You only eat and sleep every day, how can you evolve like this?"

"Poga~!!" Pogaman was dissatisfied.

Eating well is also a form of exercise! Pogaman is really working hard!

Xu Li said it! It remembers it clearly!

Pogaman pointed at Xu Li, who was being hugged tightly by Nancy, with dissatisfaction.

Xiaoguang: "..."

It's a form of exercise, but you can't just practice this! Pogaman, that's all you remember, right?

But Xiaoguang didn't care. She didn't really care whether Pogaman evolved or not. She even thought Pogaman's form was cuter. She reached out and pinched Pogaman's round face, which had grown a lot, and looked back at the game below.

Emperor Nabo carried Darkrai's shadow ball and forced his way to its side. Ignoring his own injuries, he swung his steel arms filled with evil energy and kept smashing at Darkrai.

Darkrai, who had been suffering from the Snow Demon's negative state for a long time and was exhausted, finally couldn't resist this desperate attack.

This was their first defeat in the official league competition.

"Darkrai has lost his ability to fight! Player Darko, please replace your Pokémon."

Darko looked at the fallen Darkrai and was stunned for a moment.

"Player Darko, please change your Pokémon as soon as possible!"

At the referee's urging, Darkrai put away, then took out another Poké Ball, paused, and released it as if he had made up his mind.

It has a streamlined body in white and blue, like an airplane, with jet-like wings and a bright red pattern on its chest, which looks very exquisite.

——Latios.

Known as the Infinite Pokémon, it has a very high IQ, can understand human language, hates fighting and is gentle.

At this moment, its red eyes were looking straight ahead, without any extra movements, just motionless.

"Emperor Nabo, can you continue?" Platinum shouted without paying attention to the opponent's Pokémon.

Because Emperor Nabo was fighting back against Darkrai's attack, he was seriously injured at this time.

"Chapo!" Emperor Napo responded with a firm cry.

Darko: "Mind Hammer!"

But then a rapid jet sound appeared on the field, at an extremely fast speed. As soon as Emperor Nabo heard it, he felt a violent impact on his chest!

boom!

"Strong mental thoughts!"

Latios reacted extremely quickly, his eyes flashed with pink, and a huge mental pressure was mercilessly pressed towards Emperor Nabo, fierce and cold.

"Emperor Napo!!"

"Emperor Napo is incapacitated! Please, contestant Platinum..."

After a moment of hesitation, Platinum summoned the Flame Horse.

"Dragon Star Group!" Dakodo's command was very urgent, as if he was unwilling to give Flame Horse any time to prepare for the appearance. He wanted to end the battle quickly and directly used a powerful move.

Latios was also like a machine. The moment Darko gave the order, meteorites wrapped in fierce dragon energy began to appear in the sky, mercilessly falling and smashing into the Flame Horse on the ground.

One minute later.

"All of Platinum's Pokémon have lost their ability to fight. Darko has won!"

Before the referee finished his victory or defeat announcement, Darko had already defeated his opponent on the field, and then Latios, who was quietly in the air, retracted his Poké Ball, as if he was unwilling to give the audience any time to appreciate it.

"Eliminated in the first round of the preliminary round..." Platinum stared at the glaring words "Top 64" on the screen, then lowered her head in frustration. Clutching the Poké Ball she had just retrieved from Flamebron, she muttered to herself, "My ability is lacking. Thank you for your hard work..."

Her long blue-black hair covered her self-blaming eyes. She did not notice the post-match handshake session and returned to the contestant channel in disappointment.

……

in the audience.

Bellrich was stunned and said in disbelief, "How could he pull out two legendary Pokémon!?"

"Damn it! Otherwise my daughter wouldn't have been defeated so completely!"

"When Platinum comes back, I will definitely comfort her. This is not her problem!"

"..."

"Plantina, come here, come here quickly, let your father..."

Without noticing her father's invitation, Platinum buried herself in Xu Li's arms. "I'm sorry, I failed to live up to your guidance..."

Berlitz's raised hand froze in the air.

He turned his head again and again, looking in disbelief at Xu Li who was being held in his daughter's arms and comforting her softly. His face gradually turned red, and he managed to squeeze out a voice between his teeth: "Xu, Li!?"

Platinum turned around with tears in her eyes, "...Father?"

Berriti paused, then said with a stern face: "No, it's okay!"

Xu Li sighed, ignoring Belrich's fierce warning. He simply whispered to Platinum, "...This isn't your problem."

The state of that Latios is very strange!

He looked at Darko with a puzzled look as he was enjoying the cheers of the audience and was just now slowly leaving the contestant tunnel. It was obvious that he was not someone who didn't care about praise, but he was unwilling to reveal the legendary Pokémon Latios for another second.

The logic of Latios's movements seemed familiar to him, but he had no special abilities and could not sense the dark aura.

It’s a pity that Mirei is not here, otherwise the case could be solved directly.

At this time, Platinum's frustration had eased a little. She nodded softly and got up from Xu Li.

Just as Bellrich was about to continue comforting her daughter.

Xi Jiana carelessly hugged Platinum and said, "That's right! It's just a blue plane. That annoying guy was beaten to a pulp by Xu Li in the woods!"

Platinum smiled and asked curiously, "Really?"

"Of course, I tell you..."

……

A little later, Xu Li and his group arrived at the venue on the other side, where the preliminary rounds for the other half of the zone were being held.

Xiaozhao was about to go on stage. His opponent was a thin superpower who carried a soup spoon with him. He sent out a stupid hippopotamus who was only dragging a big shell.

As it happened, Xiaozhao sent out the fierce and evil mushroom, which raised its shield-like mushroom arms, roared, and rushed towards the opponent's stupid hippopotamus fiercely.

Although the running speed of the fierce mushroom is very slow, the stupid hippopotamus on the opposite side is even stupider!

The opponent was stunned.

Isn't this Defeat Ball Mushroom a tank?! Although its shape is a bit odd.

Why would he beat up his stupid hippopotamus?!

Each punch he made was merciless, in stark contrast to his soft and stupid hippopotamus who could only take a beating.

Soon, the stupid hippopotamus lost his ability to fight.

The opponent's subsequent dispatch of the fierce mushroom and the coconut tree also suffered at the hands of the evil mushroom's evil moves.

Xiaozhao won easily.

Chapter 183: Dark

Watching Xiao Zhao defeat his opponent easily, Xu Li greeted the battle with a smile and walked straight back after the fight, completely ignoring the admiring voices of the audience around him.

Xiao Zhao smiled when he saw Xu Li: "How is it?"

“My little photo is naturally the best!”

……

in the afternoon.

In a lush forest, there is a relatively sturdy tree.

Two figures swayed slightly beneath it.

"Stop...slow down, slow down..."

"Heh... who was it just now, so ignorant of the immensity of heaven and earth, that forcibly activated super powers to teleport here?"

"Then you can't either..." Nazi bit her lip tightly as she endured Xu Li's ridicule. Her fair little hands grasped the thick tree trunk in front of her. Suddenly, her brows furrowed and she groaned, then slowly added the second half of the sentence, "Not... when I'm not ready... ah! It's dirty there!"

"It's okay, I don't mind it, and it's not dirty."

"Don't expect me to help you clean up!! I hate it!" Then Naz endured the pain and checked her condition.

"Well... it's all your fault! You wasted my pants!" She complained, looking at the smile on Xu Li's face, she was so angry that her teeth itched and said, "It's all your fault, it's all your fault! How can I move around these days? Even sleep..."

She couldn't help but stretch out her white little feet and kick Xu Li.

However, this also greatly affected her wounds. The pain of torn muscles came over her, and her legs gave way, and she was about to fall. It was only because Xu Li hugged her in time that she was prevented from suffering secondary injuries.

Xu Li smiled and said, "Why not just sleep on your stomach?"

Just when Nazhi wanted to open her white teeth and bite Xu Li a few more times, she suddenly frowned, turned her head to look elsewhere, then looked back with resentment in her eyes, and complained with puffed cheeks.

"It's still your fault! There's someone some distance away from us! I wanted to tell you when I came here! Now he seems to be approaching us very quickly..."

The pink-gold light in Nazzi's eyes gradually flashed. She endured the pain in her body and continued to add quickly.

"He probably didn't come specifically to find us. His movements are a bit off. He's the opponent of that Platinum this morning. He's also being chased by a Psychic-type Pokémon. It has a similar Psychic reaction to the second Pokémon he sent out this morning, but it's not the same one. It seems to be chasing him."

"Oh? Dakodo?" Xu Li showed an interested expression on his face.

"Is it true? That's her name." Nazhi looked at Xu Li with a puzzled expression, puffing up her cheeks, "Why are you more interested than before!?"

Xu Li: “…”

Are you jealous of this?

Nancy quickly gathered herself together, narrowed her eyes, and took out the Poké Ball: "It's here!"

Boom~!

What followed was not only the sound of breaking wind, but also extremely dangerous super power fluctuations and a loud bang!

The massive tree that had just supported Nancy's body was snapped in half, its massive branches and leaves scattering as they were lifted into the air, unable to even land. On the ground, the aftershocks of this violent, furious superpower wave spread, stirring up clouds of dust.

In front of Nancy, Hu Di was already holding two soup spoons tightly, and the superpower light in her eyes intertwined with each other. A pink barrier appeared in front of her and Xu Li, resisting the waves of the remaining attack.

Nazhi took a few steps back and leaned against Xu Li's chest, barely able to offset the aftershocks.

Finally, the dust cleared.

All I could hear was the person inside muttering a few words to himself: "Although it's a last resort, it can also be considered an opportunity. Its physical strength is almost exhausted. Just a few more times will be enough..."

Xu Li also saw the situation clearly.
