One o'clock in the afternoon.
"Hello~ I've missed you all in these three hours. Welcome back to the Magic City Center Stadium!"
The host, still dressed in a suit and leather shoes, greeted everyone with his enthusiastic voice.
"The first two rounds of the quarter-finals were played this morning, and our players Chen and Zoe have successfully advanced to the top four.
"And from now on, we will decide the remaining two semi-finalists!"
"Please watch the big screen!"
The host waved his hand at the big screen behind him, where the portraits of the four remaining players appeared impressively.
Jessica, Old Wang, Zack, and Edward!
"Ah ah ah ah! Jessica, go for it!"
"Old Wang! You're the last of our civilian trainers! Crush them all!"
"Jessica, the first generation Trainer! Please channel Zoe's spirit!"
"God, please let Zoe's spirit be with you; you're aiming for immortality here."
"Zoe: Silly woman, stay away from me! Don't run towards me, you fool!"
"F**k! How can you post a video?"
"Zack is invincible! Go, Zack!"
"Oh~ Edward, God bless you!"
The entire live audience and chat room instantly boiled over, cheering for the Trainers they supported. Even a few foreigners were shouting for Edward.
The host smiled at the enthusiastic crowd, only speaking again when the cheers faded a bit.
"The four will be divided into two groups for a tiebreaker! Only those who defeat their opponents can move on!"
"I think everyone is looking forward to it, and so am I."
"Then let's see what the matching results look like."
As the host finished speaking, the four avatars on the big screen instantly began to rotate.
Who will it match?
In the auditorium, Zoe and others sat together, eagerly waiting for the result.
In the player's room, Jessica and the other three also stared at the big screen without blinking.
"It doesn't matter who it is! I'm invincible!"
Jessica clenched her nervous little hands tightly, her palms even sweating a bit, but she kept comforting herself in her heart.
Now, among these four, she has a great chance against anyone, okay! She must enter the semi-finals!
However, her heart was still a little nervous, because...
As long as she wins this time, it will be the semi-finals! The semi-finals!
Ding~
There was a crisp sound on the big screen, and a young girl's head appeared—it was Jessica!
Seeing Jessica's avatar, the entire conference venue instantly burst into shouts.
What about the other one?
Soon, the second avatar gradually stopped—it was Zack!
Jessica vs. Zack!
Edward vs. Old Wang!
"Jessica..."
Zack frowned; this was another tough match.
"Oh~ I knew God loved me!"
On the other hand, Edward was elated, looking at the matching result with joy.
Whether it was Jessica or Zack, he actually had no confidence, as both were very strong.
And Old Wang...
Although his previous fight was strong, Edward thought it was just that his opponents were too weak!
Yes, particularly a certain fox man.
And Edward! The first trainer, adventurer! Will be the name of the Pokémon House!
"I actually hit a foreigner~."
Old Wang touched his stubble, glanced strangely at Edward with a smile on his face, and muttered softly.
He didn't expect that he, a man in his thirties, would still have the opportunity to battle a foreigner.
Well, if the grandfather in the spirit of the sky and the father who is half a step in the spirit of the sky find out, will they be proud of him?
After winning against this foreigner, he has to feed Heracross two more big watermelons and go back and tell Dad!
As for losing?
Just kidding, his Heracross is simply invincible!
"The result of the match has come out! So now let's welcome the first group of players!"
"Jessica!"
"Zack!"
The host's high-pitched voice spread throughout the stadium.
As the host's words fell, two figures, a man and a woman, slowly walked out of the player passage on both sides.
In an instant, the terrifying sound waves rang out like decibels.
"Jessica! Jessica will win!"
"I've bet all my wealth points on you, Jessica! You must give it your all!"
"I was born for Jessica!"
"Come on, Master Zack! Don't lose face for our Dragon City!"
"Axi, this is a match, I like both of them, what should I do now?"
The crazy and enthusiastic cheers could be called noise pollution, with many people red-faced and shouting hoarsely, waving cheering sticks in their hands.
"Tsk tsk~ fortunately I'm prepared!"
"In the future, when there are Jessica's games, I'll still need to prepare for this."
Zoe's beautiful face remained calm, as her ears were stuffed with soundproof ear pads.
Well, she's experienced!
"Actually, your popularity is already very high, Zoe~"
Emily teased Zoe, with some envy in her words.
The sisters, Jessica and Zoe, are really the new national goddesses on the Internet. It can be said that they are.
And not only male fans, but also incredible female fans.
Emily is really envious, but she can understand it, and in fact, she has a lot of fans now, but unfortunately, it was a little early for her to be eliminated.
"It's all this silly woman Jessica." Zoe was a little speechless and a little happy.
Of course, she's very happy to be liked by so many people, but what makes her blush is that the few videos of her and Jessica's "famous network" are a bit messed up...
"How wonderful, I can be envious." Rebecca, who looked like a loli, said with envy.
She doesn't have much chance now. After all, she only got Pokémon for a week, so she must have missed this Magic City contest.
I just don't know when the next competition will be.
"I don't know if my cousin can do it. Sister Jessica is very strong."
Then Rebecca looked at the arena curiously; the battle between Jessica and Zack made her unsure about Zack's chances.
"The strength of these two people is very close; it depends on their performance." Emily whispered.
"Yeah." Zoe nodded, pursing her lips and looking at Jessica with her beautiful eyes.
Silly woman, you have to work harder; I want to eliminate you myself!
On the battlefield.
"Now the third round of the quarter-finals will begin, and the two sides are Jessica and Zack!"
"The battle rules are 2vs2, and the battle field is the standard field. When one of the two Pokémon loses the ability to fight, the other side wins!
"The winner enters the semi-finals, and the loser is eliminated!"
"Battle begins!"
The referee blew the whistle to announce the rules of the battle, and then left the field with a slight salute to the two.
"This is the first time to fight against you, Jessica."
Holding the Poké Ball tightly in his hand, Zack adjusted his excited heart and smiled at Jessica.
"It is the first time, but certainly not the last."
There was a bright and beautiful smile on Jessica's face, and the Poké Ball in her hand was enlarged.
"However, today, I have to feel sorry for you, Zack, so please stop here."
"This can't be done; I don't have any other hobbies, but since I decided to do it."
The corners of Zack's mouth grinned slightly, and his magnetic voice was indifferent.
"Then you must do your best! This is the life creed my father taught me since I was a child."
"I do have a good suggestion. After defeating you, I'll host a dinner in the evening and invite everyone for a celebration meal. How about it?"
Mad!
Although Zack's voice has always been very calm, there is no doubt that this guy is in Taunt mode!
And
He's better at pretending!
Jessica's pretty face turned sour. Damn, she always thought Zack was a good-natured young man, but he was so quietly an expert at this.
The 'trash talk' before the battle couldn't beat him at all, you fool!
"I think it's up to me to invite this meal! I'd really like to know what you're going to do with this guy!"
Jessica snorted twice and threw the Poké Ball in her hand high.
"Dragonair! Go!"
"Woo~"
With an ethereal and sacred melodious dragon roar, the majestic Dragonair hovered and floated slowly in front of Jessica, with beautiful dragon eyes staring at Zack.
"Dragonair, it's really beautiful, but I wonder how its strength compares to my dragon."
Zack looked at the Dragonair carefully and threw his Poké Ball backhand.
"Hakamo-o, it's over to you!"
With a low dragon roar, Hakamo-o, standing on two feet, landed in front of Zack.
"Hakamo-o!"
Jessica's eyes lowered slightly, looking at this calm gray dragon-shaped Pokémon.
The evolution of the pseudo-legendary Jangmo-o!
This is the second time she has battled other pseudo-legendary Pokémon; the last time it was Dratini and Larvitar.
There are only five pseudo-legendary Pokémon now, and she owns two of them, with her own Dratini and Dragonair.
Pupitar is with Chen, and Zack has Hakamo-o!
As for Lin's Duolong Messia, it hasn't even evolved yet, not to mention Lin was just eliminated by Chen in the morning.
"I heard that you defeated Young Master Chen's Larvitar before. Today, I also really want to know who is stronger between your Dragonair and my Hakamo-o."
Zack stood taller, looking at Jessica and Dragonair with full fighting intent.
Apart from Lin's Duolong Messia, who can only look cute for now, the remaining dragon pseudo-legends are between the two of them.
It's time for a showdown!
And seeing the two dragons facing each other on the field, the entire live and broadcast room exploded in an instant!
"The duel of the pseudo-legendary dragons! I'm so excited!"
"Mom, is this something I can watch for free? It's too exciting!"
"Dragonair wins! Dragonair wins!!!"
"What about Nima who must win? It's just a large blue water snake. My Hakamo-o, Master Zack, is invincible in the world!
"It's about to fight!! I can't wait to know the result ah ah ah ah!"
"Dragon-type Pokémon, number one in the world!"
The live broadcast room was flooded with comments; a pseudo-legendary Pokémon duel related to the semi-final matchup just exploded!
