Elf: My three starters are the three gods of Hoenn

"Dragon King Scorpion, unleash Needle Missile!"

Upon receiving Zhang Feng's order, the Dragon King Scorpion immediately raised its claws and launched a large number of missiles forward!

Faced with the endless barrage of fire, Yuuji immediately confronted the Ditto!

"Ditto, we'll unleash Pin Missile too!"

Ditto is a Pokémon with very special abilities, but it requires a high level of skill from its trainer. Its transformation ability allows it to transform into the same form as its opponent and learn their moves!

However, if the trainer doesn't know much about the Pokémon they're facing, they definitely won't be able to unleash Ditto's true power after its transformation!

Thus, they lose their advantage!

Just as both sides unleashed their missiles, the entire battlefield was bombarded with missiles, raising a huge cloud of dust!

At that very moment, the Dragon King Scorpion moved!

He rushed toward Ditto at lightning speed, and then, out of Yuuji's sight, he bit down on Ditto with his venomous fangs!

Although Ditto has transformed into the form of Dracovish, it naturally cannot possess the Poison type!

Therefore, after the potent toxin was injected into Ditto's body, the guy was immediately poisoned!

Seeing this, Zhang Feng's lips curled up slightly. This battle was already in the bag!

"Dragon King Scorpion, unleash the Cross Poison Blade!"

Taking advantage of the moment Ditto was poisoned, Drapion unleashed its Cross Poison Blade, which slammed into Ditto, sending it flying!

"Finish him off, lethal needle!"

As soon as Zhang Feng gave the order, the Dragon King Scorpion roared and its huge venomous stinger, which came from the scorpion's most powerful venomous tail, pierced directly into Ditto's body!

The potent toxins and intense pain rendered Ditto unable to fight!

"Ding-dong! Dracovish defeated Ditto, gaining 12,000 experience points and leveling up. Dracovish's level has increased to lv82. Current attribute values ​​are as follows:"

At this moment, seeing Ditto already lying on the ground, the referee immediately waved his flag and shouted!

"Ditto is unable to battle, Drapion wins, and since all three of Mr. Yuji's Pokémon are unable to battle, Zhang Feng wins the championship and advances to the round of 16!"

After Zhang Feng won, the entire audience cheered!

Everyone could have guessed this scenario; it was simply a matter of how long it would take Zhang Feng to win this match!

As the battles continued, the final list of the top 16 finalists was officially released!

This also means that next, this group of people will engage in a full-scale six-on-six battle to compete for the final eight master positions, in order to prove their true strength!

……

Chapter 177 The Top 16 List, All Players Battle!

At this moment, on the big screen, the list of the sixteen world-class powerhouses who have finally advanced to the top sixteen and are vying for the eight master positions has been officially released!

They are--

Kanto Pokémon League: Champion Lance, Vice Champion Lorelei, Vice Champion Jean, Ice-type Elite Four member Lyub!

Hoenn Pokémon League: Champion Zhang Feng, Vice Champion Steven, Vice Champion Wallace!

Sinnoh Pokémon League: Champion Cynthia, Legendary Pokémon Trainer Darkrope!

Unova Pokémon League: Champion Alder and Dark Horse Trainer N!

Kalos Pokémon League: Champion Diantha, Dark Horse Trainer Alain!

Galar Pokémon League: Champion Leon, Dragon City Gym Leader Chippane!

Padia Elf League: Champion Yeci!

Unfortunately, no one from the Alola region advanced to the Round of 16. So, the only remaining contenders for the eight Masters spots are the other seven regions!

Among these people, Zhang Feng was somewhat surprised that Liu Bo was able to advance. This veteran Four Heavenly King was the only one of the Four Heavenly Kings to advance to the top sixteen!

It's worth noting that even top-tier powerhouses like Granny Orange and King Shiba have unfortunately stopped at the top 32!

Orange encountered Chippine, the Dragon City Gym Leader of the Galar region, and Shiba was also unfortunate, encountering the dark horse trainer N. There was nothing that could be done about such a defeat!

Both of them are monsters!

Chibana himself was the eighth place in the first Eight Masters Battle. As for N, this guy is a monster. He was able to crush Aldek, which shows that his strength is far greater than that of ordinary regional champions!

Among these people, the only ones whose strength truly surpasses the others are Zhang Feng, Dan Di, Daigo, Cynthia, N, and Lance.

As for the others, whether it's Karuno, Adek, or Chibana, they could all be defeated by others!

Thus, the final all-out battle, the list of matchups for the top 16 to advance to the top 8, has been freshly released!

The first match: Darkrai, the legendary Pokémon user of the Sinnoh region, versus Leon, the champion of the Galar region!

The second match: Kanto region vice champion Shiro Kamiya vs. Unova region dark horse trainer N!

The third match is between Lorelei, the vice champion of the Kanto region, and Cynthia, the champion of the Sinnoh region!

The fourth match features Kalos region dark horse trainer Alain versus Hoenn Pokémon League champion Zhang Feng!

The fifth match: Unova Pokémon League Champion Alderman vs. Hoenn Pokémon League Vice Champion Steven!

The sixth match: Galar Gym Leader Chippines vs. Kanto Pokémon League Champion Lance!

The seventh match: Luffy, the Ice Elite Four member of the Kanto Pokémon League, versus Diantha, the Kalos region champion!

The eighth match: Padilla region champion Yajima vs. Hoenn Pokémon League vice champion Mikoto!

When the match list was freshly released, Zhang Feng looked at his opponent and was surprised to find that it was Ai Lan, the disgrace of the Eight Masters. Not a bad opponent!

Zhang Feng would be happy as long as he could stop this guy from entering the Eight Masters!

However, what truly excites the audience when they see this matchup list is the match between two beauties: Sinnoh Champion Cynthia and Kanto Vice Champion Lorelei!

This is not only a battle for regional glory, but also a private struggle between two women for the position of empress, or rather, a battle for supremacy!

Another match that attracted even more attention was the battle between Dante and Darko!

Actually, what the audience really wanted to see was the battle between Dakdo and Zhang Feng, the two great divine beast wielders!

That's a pity, we might not be able to see it!

The battles between Daigo and Alder, and between Mikuri and Yaji, are also thrilling. After all, they are all former champions, and it's really hard to say who will win in their fight!

……

After the match lineups are finalized, two matches will be played each day!

The first morning, naturally, featured the battle between Dante and Darko!

Out of curiosity about the outcome of the match, Zhang Feng also came to the stands to watch the two players compete, while Cynthia and Cora stood on either side of him!

Although the two women seemed disinterested in the match, they couldn't help but wonder who Zhang Feng would support in their duel.

Faced with this fatal answer, Zhang Feng could only feel helpless!

He said it all felt like a death sentence!

This is a chaotic situation, it's hard to maintain balance!

"Ahem, let's watch the fight between these two first. As for your match, the real test will be on the field!"

Meanwhile, Michael, Daigo, and the others kept their distance, fearing that they might be caught in the crossfire of their family conflicts and suffer unexpected disaster!

But at that moment, Xiao Zhi suddenly interrupted and said to Zhang Feng!

"Zhang Feng, who do you think will win?"

With his "lifesaver" appearing, the fearless Xiao Zhi, Zhang Feng was overjoyed!

"Ash, you've come at just the right time!"

……

As the match began, Leon took the initiative and immediately unleashed one of his starter Pokémon, the Grass-type starter Pokémon from the Galar region, in its final evolution – Rillaboom!

Seeing this, Darkor unleashed his first Pokémon – Entei!

Unlike Darkrai, which appeared first, Darkrai changed the order of its Pokémon after facing Leon!

The appearance of Entei also amazed everyone, because Darkdo had more than six divine beasts under his control, including Suicune and Entei!

Fire overcomes Grass, and Entei is a legendary Pokémon. Under normal circumstances, Thunder King Kong Ape would definitely not be a match for Entei!

Unfortunately, none of the divine beasts that Dakdo subdued had any divine authority!

Therefore, his defeat was inevitable!

Ordinary divine beasts may be very powerful, but once they encounter a truly strong opponent, they can be completely defeated!

After defeating Entei with its reverse type, Rumble Golem actually managed to defeat three opponents in a row, including Latios and Latias from Darkrai, and won the first half of the match!

Soon, in the second half, Dan brought out Thousand Faces and activated Gigantamax!

For this reason, the Thousand Faces defeated the two mythical beasts, Darkrai and Cresselia, but ultimately fell to Deoxys!

Faced with this phantom beast that could rival a first-level god, the Pill Emperor once again sent out the Thunder Vajra Ape, but it was defeated!

In this way, Leon once again brought out his Cinderace. After a fierce battle, Deoxys gained a slight advantage in health, and then it was easily defeated by Leon's Charizard!

By defeating Darkrai, Leon successfully advanced to the Eight Masters at the cost of losing three Pokémon, securing the first spot among the Eight Masters!

……

Chapter 178 The Intense Match!

"Emperor Dan!"

"Emperor Dan!"

"Emperor Dan!"

With Leon's victory, the audience in the Galar region showed excited expressions, and the entire stadium began to cheer for Leon!

In the Galar region, Leon is like a god!

Just like Zhang Feng in the Hoenn Pokémon League, he has never lost a single official match since his debut!

Therefore, in their view, their champion is certain to secure a place in the top eight and become the strongest in the world!

After the first match ended, the second match began in the afternoon!

This match was between Kanto region vice champion Shiro and Unova region dark horse trainer N. Zhang Feng felt a moment of silence for Shiro during their battle!

Thinking of this, Zhang Feng suddenly remembered that the guy had given him the coordinates of the divine beast, but he had gone there but found nothing!

It's unclear whether the mythical beast wasn't home, or if that volcano was just a temporary habitat for it!

So, it's not a bad idea for N to teach Kamishiro a lesson!

……

In the battle between Shinji and N, N was the first to release his Pokémon, his main Pokémon—Zoroark!
