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

It was a match between Liu Bo and Dan Di. The winner would face Xu Li in the next match.

Many people predicted before the game that Dan Di would definitely win, after all, his ace Charizard restrained Liu Bo's ice attribute.

Available immediately.

There were two big upsets on the scene.

It was truly freezing cold, with an air of extreme cold constantly permeating the venue, making the environment resemble a groundbreaking event.

Dandi's Gigantamaxed Charizard left a large burning crater on the field and collapsed.

[Beep beep—Second match of the Eight Masters Tournament, Charizard is confirmed to be incapacitated. Dantei has no Pokémon to fight with, and Liu Bo wins! Loto~ It's so cold...]

"Huh... I didn't expect that..." There was still disbelief in Dan Emperor's eyes, but he had to accept it.

Liu Bo still had that calm and gentle expression, which made Dan Emperor feel that he was even more unfathomable.

Chapter 235: Zhulan and the Champion

After the game.

After returning to his residence, Xu Li saw the official media of the alliance interviewing Shen Dai on TV.

"How would I feel about losing my Eighth Master seat? Well... looking at these young faces who have taken the Eighth Master position, I would sincerely congratulate them."

"I have many great memories from the Pokémon World Championships."

"I'm a kid from the countryside. When I was young, I loved adventure, and I had plenty of opportunities. When I first competed in the World Championships, like Xu Li, I was completely unknown to the public. Haha, although my first performance wasn't as high as Xu Li's."

"But it also attracted a lot of attention to me, and this exposure brought me a lot of money. Hahaha, although it's a bit vulgar, this was my most simple thought at the time."

"Did I use the money to buy adventure equipment or a house? No, I sent it all back to my mother."

"Now that I'm old and being pushed down by the young, I can try to live a more relaxed life! Of course, even though I say this, everyone is still welcome to the Battle Frontier! I will..."

At the end, Shen Dai also advertised the Battle Frontier and the Battle Pyramid.

the other side.

Ye Ci, who was also a guest, felt a little envious of Shen Dai's broad-minded attitude.

Considering her age, she is not young either.

However, we still have to seek talents for the development of the Padia region.

"Champion Yeci, what do you think of tomorrow's Eight Masters match between Champion Zhulan and Champion Mikoli?"

"Ahem... I think..."

……

"Tomorrow's game?" Zhu Lan smiled and subconsciously touched her belly in response to Xu Li's casual question. "Of course I will try my best, but right now I don't care about the outcome."

"A Li." Zhu Lan then called softly with a happy smile on her face.

"Hmm?" Xu Li, who was grooming New Leaf Cat, looked up in confusion. "What's wrong?"

"It's nothing."

"Nothing?" Xu Li suddenly snorted and chuckled. He put down Xinye Meow and grabbed Zhulan. "What's wrong with you?"

"No, I can't... not yet..."

Only Xinye Miao was left standing on the table, looking at the two people fighting with confusion.

"Meow~?"

He licked Xu Li's hair which had not been straightened yet.

Xinye Miao had no choice but to yawn and lie on the table.

……

……

The Masters Tournament is in full swing.

Ever since Liu Bo defeated the Dan Emperor, the discussion has skyrocketed.

Liu Bo and Xu Li.

These are almost the two biggest surprises of this Masters Tournament, and they are about to collide. It is like a meteorite hitting Hoenn, which will make the heat even higher.

However, neither Xu Li nor Liu Bo were affected. Except during competitions, they rarely appeared in public.

Xu Li was a master of disguise. Little Blue, who had come all the way to cheer him on, was captured by Xu Li and used as his personal disguise artist. Or rather, Little Blue's Ditto, Xiao Bai, had practically taken on Xu Li's form these past few days.

After all, as soon as he walked out, countless people surrounded him, and even the media squeezed in. It would be okay once or twice, but if it happened every time, Xu Li would feel very annoyed.

As for Liu Bo.

He probably really doesn't go out.

This kind of "hiding and choking" resulted in the public's desire for exploration being unsatisfied until Zhulan defeated Mikoli and Yeci defeated Du.

On the day when Xu Li and Liu Bo competed.

The venue was packed, with many people even crowding the aisles of the auditorium and the trees outside the arena to watch the game up close.

They all looked at the two players who slowly walked onto the stage with curious eyes.

Xiao Lan was waving her hands on the 'relatives platform' on Xu Li's side, cheering for Xu Li.

Liu Bo watched this scene silently, not knowing what he was thinking.

As the wheelchair slid, Liu Bo gradually came to the center of the venue and shook hands with Xu Li to start the event.

Liu Bo said, "If it were a few years ago, I would never have thought that I would be fighting you in such a situation."

Xu Li smiled: "So do you think it's good or bad?"

"Of course it's good. All this..." Liu Bo looked around at the sea of ​​people in the audience and smiled, "It's just like the situation I most hoped for. Celebi was right to choose you."

"Of course, it would be nice if Xiaolan didn't hate me so much."

"Then you have to try harder." Xu Li said.

Liu Bo and I were divided into two sides, and the game began with the whistle of referee Rotom.

What Liu Bo sent out was a small wild boar that jumped out of his wheelchair and crawled slowly by rubbing its nose against the ground.

This small and harmless Pokémon looks like it can barely walk. But even today, even the audience dares not underestimate it.

As the little boar crawled, bursts of snowflakes gradually fell from the sky.

It forms a snowy scene that gradually turns white.

the other side.

The Pokémon sent by Xu Li is...

Iron bag!

Its mechanical pixelated eyes looked at the surrounding audience seats rising up and the little boar slowly approaching in front of it, and it couldn't help feeling confused.

It was once sent by Xu Li to Liu Bo for special training.

So Tiebaofu recognized this little wild boar as a friend of his messenger bird instructor, and his strength was no less than that of the messenger bird.

I beat up a little boar? Seriously?!

This kind of scene...

Is this where it's supposed to be?

Even in Xu Li's team, it is at best mid-level.

The iron bundle trembled slightly as it gripped the transmitter package tightly in its arms. Its penguin-like steel head shook, as if it would involuntarily bounce up at the slightest movement.

Xu Li: “…”

No, you are an ice and water type Pokémon!

Why are you shivering with cold?

Liu Bo tapped his cane: "Freeze-dried."

"Aurora Curtain!" At the same time, Xu Li gave the command helplessly.

"Gah~"

Facing the attack from the little wild boar, the iron bundle's head was suddenly startled and ejected directly! Only a long spring was left connecting its body and head.

But even though his body became like this, the moment Iron Bag heard the command, he acted reflexively.

With its driving power, the launcher held in its body suddenly fired an energy bomb into the air!

Bang!

Like colorful fireworks.

And thanks to the snow scene used when the little boar appears, the venue gradually turns into a snowy day.

As the "fireworks" dissipated, the sky was gradually covered with bursts of colorful light. When the iron bundle was about to be frozen and dried by the wild boar, the light suddenly dropped, and the colorful light wrapped around the body of the iron bundle.

Aurora Curtain.

A move that can effectively provide defensive support to Pokémon in snowy environments.

Thanks to the properties of the iron-wrapped water ice, freeze-drying didn't do much extra damage to it, it just snapped and was blown backwards, its long, extended head slamming hard onto the ground.

"Gah..."

He staggered to his feet, and the iron bundle made a confused creaking sound.

"Use that, then charge forward!" Xu Li commanded, "Tidal Wave!"

Immediately.

Suddenly, a stream of transparent energy popped out from the round launcher wrapped in the iron bundle and flowed directly into its steel body.

Driving energy.

The speed of the Iron Bag has been increased.

Following Xu Li's order, the iron bundle suddenly rushed towards the little wild boar as if it was going to die!

The speed of the iron bag itself is extremely fast, and with the added power of driving energy, the speed is even faster!

Because its head has not recovered yet, the penguin's head bounces high and keeps swaying left and right as it charges, relying on the connected springs, which looks a bit funny.

Coupled with the dry and cold air constantly spewed out by the little wild boar, the iron bundle was in a very miserable state.

There was a murmur of good-natured laughter from the audience.

but no matter.

The iron bag was moving very fast and had already reached the little boar. At this time, it had suppressed the fear in its heart.

shhhhh--

It quickly circled around the little boar, and the launcher in its arms continued to gushed out water, which turned into a vortex around the little boar and directly trapped it!

Tide swirl!

The vortex emerged from the little boar's body and continued to surround it. Although it was very effective, it did not actually cause much damage.

But, the most important thing is that this can restrain the little pig's movements!

"Okay, come back!" Xu Li said, "Turn back quickly!"

"Hahahaha!" Tiebaofu laughed happily.

Finally I can rest!

It was surrounded by water and was about to hit the little boar when it quickly returned to Xu Li.

But then...

Uncle Liu tapped the ground lightly with his cane.

The sound was very soft and not many people heard it.

But the little boar's eyes suddenly narrowed!

When the iron bag was about to touch the wild boar, it seemed only a few centimeters away, and its body was suddenly stuck and could not move forward!
