Virtual space, inside the arena.
Meteorite swarm bombing site.
The audience area was even affected. The ground shook, the strong wind slapped their faces, and some audience members' hats were blown off.
After the roar, the completely shattered and devastated site was also revealed on the camera.
Seeing the collapsed landscape, many people swallowed their saliva.
"Meteors! Dragon-type ultimate move!" Takumi's voice was still very calm as he explained, "This is a coverage hit. If the venue were not restricted, the attack surface would be wider."
Meteor Swarm...
Takumi murmured in his heart. The skills in the game were flashy, but in reality, they were extremely powerful.
The smoke and dust slowly dispersed. Even Takumi stared at the little girl who was still standing. Only a single figure remained.
All he could say was that Ajiu was indeed a Fatui. As an elemental being, Ajiu was still the toughest rock element. she was least afraid of your attacks.
Click!
When the camera froze, the body surface of the small figure was covered with thick rock element protection. The armor had also turned into stone dust and fallen.
Ajiu looked indifferent as she took off the Poké Ball hanging from his waist. Opposite him, Hu Tao was a little desperate.
"Oh no! Oh no! Oh no!"
Hu Tao was speechless in her heart. "Three, three, three. Where did this little pervert come from? Meteor Swarm, my Gabite, managed to steal the dragon-type ultimate move from Sister Flygon! You look like you haven't shed a single layer of skin. Is that really good?"
Hu Tao was panicking now. A drop of cold sweat broke out on her forehead.
This Hall Master absolutely respected her opponent enough and didn't underestimate the enemy at all. She could already smell the defeat. Hu Tao's face gradually turned bitter.
The opening game... overturned. Then she, the holder of so many records, wouldn't she become a joke on the entire internet?
No! No! The Hall Master had a lifelong reputation...
While Hu Tao was having a series of complex psychological activities, Ajiu was also about to throw his Poké Ball.
But suddenly, Ajiu was startled and looked at Hu Tao's expression, full of some kind of ecstasy.
Hu Tao: ?
The little loli player opposite suddenly fell down.
This time...
Huh????
The whole audience was stunned. The arena, which was already noisy and full of energy, suddenly fell into a freezing silence.
For a moment, the commentator Liu Su swallowed audibly.
"Oh~~ Dragon-type ultimate move, meteor and meteorite bombing. Player Ajiu, who didn't even blow up his shield, actually fell down?!"
Takumi answered with a subtle voice that seemed to be holding back laughter.
"Cough. I have to explain what happened. The truth is... Player Hu Tao's Exeggcute successfully used Hypnosis on Player Ajiu!"
Hypnosis...
Hu Tao on the field was also shocked when she heard Takumi say this.
Exeggcute.
She had no hope at all. Flygon was there to cover, and Gabite would finish the battle. And before, she had given Exeggcute instructions. She hadn't even thought about back-up moves, and there was no so-called insurance... it was just to give Exeggcute a sense of participation. They couldn't let a level 39 Pokémon sit in the background!
Takumi's commentary voice continued:
"In fact, the hit rate of Hypnosis is not high. Especially when used against targets far higher than your own level and rank. But just now, Exeggcute probably only tried two or three times... and Hypnosis was successful."
The words fell.
In the guest area, the audience all looked at Hu Tao with completely different eyes.
Such luck!
On the battlefield, can you bet on the odds with your face?
"The point is... I didn't even think about gambling." Hu Tao thought about this.
But she loudly announced her victory:
"I won this round! The Hall Master is number one in the world!"
Beep - the intelligent referee in the virtual space said:
"Player Ajiu falls asleep and loses the ability to fight. Player Hu Tao wins!"
Then, a rescue team quickly rushed out of the passage. Azhi, the leader of the medical team, took two nurses, her Chansey, and Blissey, and loaded Ajiu onto the stretcher. The two assistant Pokémon lifted the stretcher.
... at the same time.
Hulao Mountain, under the Fulong Tree.
"Roar!"
Angry roars resounded, seals and restrictions appeared around, and strong fluctuations were felt.
"Mean! So despicable!! I never agree with this kind of defeat!"
Takumi's ears twitched. When Ajiu was randomly assigned to the first opening match, he had Jirachi, Meloetta, and Cresselia. They all stared at Fulongshu. If Azhdaha really broke out, they would work together to fight him back.
But... Takumi now felt that he had obviously underestimated the prudence of Rex Lapis. The suppression and seal were as stable as ever.
After all, the emperor was not Venti. Liyue's disasters had always been no less than Mondstadt's. Like the suppressed being hidden at the bottom of the Chasm, a shocking disaster known to everyone.
Underground, Azhdaha was very angry. Also very powerless. In the heart-rending cry, the subtext that Takumi heard was, "I can't accept it, my career as a trainer cannot be insulted like this, what the hell is Exeggcute? An ant-like creature can also hypnotize me."
Azhdaha... Brother, I'm sorry for you. In fact, we didn't expect superpower Hypnosis to be effective against a being like you. There's always a probability of it working.
Just... rest in peace!
Takumi couldn't stop laughing in his heart and withdrew all the Pokémon and beasts. There was no need to monitor an aggrieved entity who was about to cry. He was already miserable enough.
The Pokémon weren't even released, but were knocked down with one move...
After giving the order to remove the suppression, Takumi turned around and glanced at Zhongli with an inexplicable look.
Zhongli seemed to have just regained consciousness from the direction of Hulao Mountain. Venti blinked hard at Takumi. The Conqueror of Demons, Xiao, kept a close eye on the broken arena.
Just now, he controlled the power of the rock. That kind of suppression and character were not even inferior to the emperor. It was definitely Azhdaha!
Xiao sighed in his heart. Once upon a time, Azhdaha was also a comrade who conquered the world together.
"Hi~"
Chansey's little hand on the side patted Xiao's head skillfully, like a gentle angel. Xiao's body stiffened, but the expression on his face gradually softened.
...
On the field.
The map scenes of Washui, Ultramarine Coast, and Tranquility Bay were already devastated.
Hu Tao ran towards her Pokémon.
"Awesome. Come here for a hug~"
Hearing this, the six cracked eggs that make up Exeggcute jumped up and down happily, jumping hard on Hu Tao's shoulders and head. Soon, Exeggcute was on Hu Tao's head, with the left and right shoulders each occupied by a light pink egg. Three eggs vied for favor in her arms.
"Chii~ Gugu~"
Exeggcute started to quarrel, arguing about who was the prettiest one. But Hu Tao was not impatient at all, with a warm smile on her face.
"Superpower Hypnosis is very useful. However, I still chose to evolve Exeggcute into an Alolan Exeggutor, replacing the Psychic-type with Dragon-type!"
...
In the live broadcast room, fanatical discussions exploded, and comments flew by like meteors.
"Damn it! A swarm of meteors just hit, and I felt like the sky was falling!"
"Oh no, oh no, oh no!"
"You can travel the world with just one sentence, right?"
"As expected, Ajiu is also a monster. As expected, anyone who dares to sign up for the Super Competition is a monster!"
"Indeed, after being hit by a sky fire, he only lost a layer of stone skin. I suspect Ajiu is the incarnation of some elemental champion participating in the Pokémon competition."
"Upstairs, you have such a wild imagination!"
"Hahaha, I almost burst into tears from laughing. It took a dragon-type ultimate move with the power of destruction to knock off the shield, but Hypnosis settled it in one move!"
"I declare, Psychic-type is the best!!"
"As long as there's a chance, even if it's not zero, and luck is on your side, even a demon can fall, right?!"
The opening game of the Super Series was full of twists and turns, and the battle situation changed unexpectedly. The audience was excited, and the live broadcast room was full of discussions on details and tactics.
It was wonderful! So exciting!
Yae Miko gasped, replaying the battle just now in her mind. Among the scenes, Ajiu, a girl, perfectly controlling the power of rock elements, replayed repeatedly in her mind. Ajiu clearly did not have a Vision.
You know, although Yae Miko is of the white fox bloodline, she still requires an Electro Vision to strengthen her resonance with the earth's veins. She is a great demon, but she is far inferior to Ajiu.
Then the answer to Ajiu's identity became clear.
A living demon actually used an incarnation to join the Liyue Trainer Competition?
At this moment, Yae Miko raised her eyebrows as a shrine maiden came in a hurry, reporting to her about the security forces of the Hanamizaka Arataki Gang and Tenryou Commission clashing.
"Well, it's time to get active." Miko Yae stood up and stretched. Taking advantage of the 15 minutes left before the next game, Miko Yae decided to go down the mountain.
However, she did not go to Hanamizaka, where the conflict broke out. Instead, she went straight to the Tenshukaku.
"My old friend, because I can't eat desserts and read novels at the same time, now I don't have an Pokedex, and I can't see any exciting Pokémon events. I was so angry that I collapsed inside, crying and fussing."
Yae Miko made a rude comment, and her beautiful smile turned into a flower.
Deep in the Tenshukaku, there was a wave of nothingness:
"???"
