Chapter 654: Quarterfinals, Vs. Du? Adu's New Lineup!

Seeing that Arcanine was easily defeated, Daye felt numb.

"This guy..." Daye's face was wooden. After a short period of shock, he quickly cheered up.

No!

He didn't believe that his three Pokémon couldn't hurt Giratina!

"Come again!" The fire of indomitable spirit in Daye was already burning.

He threw his Poké Ball decisively.

A white light flashed, and a strong Infernape suddenly appeared on the field.

"The third match officially begins!" Deng Pei blew the whistle in his hand.

Daye waved his hand: "Infernape, shadow clone!"

As soon as the voice fell, the Infernape on the field moved.

It began to run quickly towards Giratina. During the process, shadow clones separated from it and surrounded Giratina.

Giratina squinted his eyes and looked at the scene.

"Now! Thunder Fist!" Daye shouted.

In an instant, dozens of "Infernapes" wielded their thunder fists and rushed towards Giratina in the middle.

Faced with this scene, Giratina exhaled dragon breath, and the breath swept across. With the sound of "puff puff puff", the shadow clones transformed by Infernape dissipated one after another.

The Infernape at the back was keenly aware of the bad situation. It accelerated its running pace. When the dragon breath approached, its legs exerted force violently, and its whole body jumped high into the air. With a fist in its right hand, thunder and lightning surged and blasted towards Giratina.

Hit!

The goal was achieved! Daye clenched his fist excitedly and shouted "Yes!" in his heart.

However, the next second, a huge dragon claw slapped Infernape away.

"Let's end it!" Naoki said.

The figure of Giratina disappeared from the spot in an instant.

Before Flame had time to react, the huge body quietly emerged from the void and violently knocked Flame away.

Flame fell heavily on the energy shield at the edge of the arena, then rolled to the ground, his eyes rolled up, and he no longer had the strength to stand up.

"Flame has lost his ability to fight, and Naoki won the Eight Masters Replacement Battle!" Deng Pei quickly announced the result of the game: "Let us congratulate Naoki for successfully advancing to the ranks of the Eight Masters!"

"This World Championship has ended successfully! Three days later, the final battle for the king will be held here! The opponents of the eight trainers will be decided by drawing lots later!"

A burst of thunderous shouts broke out in the audience.

Giratina slowly landed in front of Naoki, his scarlet eyes looked around the audience seats, and a hideous smile appeared on his face.

This means that Giratina is incomparably happy at the moment.

Seeing this scene, Naoki sighed helplessly.

He felt that Giratina might as well debut as an idol!

At this time, Daye walked over here.

Even though he lost the game, he didn't look sad, but looked very happy.

"I did what other trainers couldn't do!" Daye said loudly.

Naoki was stunned: "What?"

"My Infernape successfully hit Giratina!" Daye was extremely proud.

Naoki: "...Mr. Daye is really humorous!"

The next thing to do is the draw ceremony for the eight masters.

Naoki took Giratina back into the Poké Ball and returned to the backstage with Daye.

Daye is a very enthusiastic young man, just like the fire attribute Pokémon. After a while, the two became familiar with each other.

When Naoki just returned to the backstage, the eight masters' master battle began to be drawn in front.

"Now, please invite Mr. Roz, the president of the Marrokomon Group and the president of the Padiya Alliance, to draw the opponents of the eight masters in the master battle for us!" The commentator introduced solemnly.

As a spotlight fell, a man in a suit, a bow tie, and meticulously combed hair slowly walked out from an entrance.

His face was friendly and kind, and he waved to the audience in the audience as he walked forward.

The commentator quickly handed over the microphone.

Roz took the microphone and began to say: "Ladies and gentlemen! Welcome to our Galar region. I am the president of the alliance, Roz."

"I won't introduce myself here. All the guests present... and the audience in front of the TV, I have kept you waiting for a long time! A major event in the Galar region, the Masters Tournament, is about to begin!"

"Now, I will hold a draw ceremony for the eight trainers standing at the top of the world to compete in the quarterfinals!"

As soon as the voice fell, the photos of the eight trainers popped up on the big screen above the arena.

They are:

First place Dantei,

Second place Adu,

Third place Daigo,

Fourth place Sirona,

Fifth place Kaluni,

Sixth place Chibana,

Seventh place Dorasena,

and Naoki who just advanced to eighth place.

"Ah!" Daye sighed helplessly: "I thought I would have a chance to participate in the quarterfinals this year! I didn't expect that two beast masters would show up halfway."

Daye has seen through it. Even if Naoki didn't win, he would be squeezed out by Dakoto.

Ah, just thinking about it makes people feel melancholy.

Naoki: "..."

Daye was sad, and at this time, a worker holding a glass ball came forward.

There was a hole above the ball, and many small notes were placed inside.

In front of everyone, Roz reached into it and took out a note.

He opened the note, and the aerial Rotom stepped forward and pointed the camera at the note. The next second, Shirona's name appeared on the screen.

And Shirona's head portrait also appeared in the first place in the quarterfinals.

Next, it was her opponent to be drawn.

President Roz continued the lottery.

He took out the second note from the ball, and soon, the name of the second player also appeared in the eyes of the audience.

Doracena.

The first battle of the quarterfinals will be between Shirona and Doracena.

Roz did not stop his actions, and as he pulled out the notes one by one, the list of players in the quarterfinals finally came to light and appeared in the eyes of everyone.

They are:

Shirona vs Dorasena.

Dante vs Chibana

Dawu vs Kaluni

Naoki vs Adu

So far, the list of the quarterfinals has been determined.

The four winners will advance to the semifinals and start the next round of competition.

"One game in the quarterfinals, one game in the semifinals, and one game in the finals. If everything goes well, there will be three more games." Naoki murmured.

But what he didn't expect was that he met Du in the first round.

Da Ye was very surprised by the result of the draw.

"You play Du!" he said.

Naoki came back to his senses and asked in confusion: "What's wrong with Du?"

"Adu's strength this year is very strong. There were not many dragon-attributed Pokémon in the Kanto region before, and Adu's lineup was very casual."

"But I heard that in recent years, Adu has traveled to many regions and captured many dragon Pokémon. He has formed a real dragon army!" Daye explained.

Naoki: "..."

Has the title of Du's flying king spread to the Sinnoh region?

The quarterfinals will be held in three days, with only one match per day, which means that his match with Du will not start until a week later.

There is nothing to do here at the moment, Naoki said goodbye to Daye, and then rode Gulton back to the ranch.

The first thing he did when he got home was to release Giratina from the Poké Ball.

Giratina didn't stay in the ranch for long. While Naoki was holding the child, its huge body leaned over and rushed into the lake and entered the reverse world.

Giratina landed on his own Flower Sky Island and immediately called Rotom on his mobile phone, and excitedly asked it to help him read the words of praise from netizens.

Reading the error-free version! 6=9+book_ba first release of this novel

Rotom: "A netizen named [Budcrest Horse] said: Giratina is really strong! He defeated the three Pokémon of Daye without any damage! I wonder who is stronger between it and Budcrest..."

"A netizen named [Shadow Messenger] said: +1, I want to know too, but I feel."

Giratina couldn't listen any more after hearing the two.

Giratina was immediately furious. Why do these humans love to compare their combat power so much? !

What's more annoying is that it really can't beat Budcrest!

Giratina asked Rotom to check the increase in fans for him, and found that he couldn't match the natural increase of Budcrest even after trying so hard.

A ball of angry flames burned in Giratina's heart. He was angry and depressed and almost fainted.

Seeing Giratina like this, Rotom quickly read a few good comments from netizens to it.

Giratina's emotions gradually calmed down, and he couldn't help thinking: These humans seem to be quite sensible!

Seeing this, Rotom gradually figured out the meaning. If he reads the comments of the Crown of Buds to Giratina, Giratina will be very angry.

In this case, wouldn't it be better if he didn't read those comments, but only read the comments of humans praising Giratina?

If necessary, he can also make up his own.

Anyway, Giratina doesn't know human words, Rotom thought secretly.

As long as he can make Giratina happy, it's fine.

In Gongmen City, Dante and President Roz stood in the stands of the Gongmen Arena, overlooking the crowd below.

"Compared to the previous two years, there are really more and more tourists coming to watch the World Championship this year!" President Roz sighed.

In the past few months, those tourists have driven consumption and economic growth, allowing the cities in the Galar region to achieve considerable development.

Seeing his hometown bustling, Dandi was also very happy: "Yes!"

President Luoz wanted to say something else, but at this moment, a phone call suddenly came in.

President Luoz took a look and then answered it. It sounded like something urgent.

"Something happened at the underground energy factory. Dandi, I'll leave it to you. I'm going to deal with it there."

Dandi was suspicious, because according to his investigation, Wuji Tai, who caused the dark night, was likely sealed in the underground energy factory in Quanguan City.

But he didn't say anything, just nodded with an unchanged expression.

President Luoz left in a hurry.

At the same time.

Quanguan City, underground energy factory.

Sonia, who was wearing an employee uniform, looked nervously at Olivia, who had an unkind expression on her face.

"Let me tell you, lately I always feel like there is something sneakily following me. It turns out to be you."

Olivia narrowed her eyes, and there was a hint of coldness in her tone:

"Oh? Miss Sonia, are you trying to tell me that you sneaked in here for a walk?"

Looking at the people of the Malokomon Group who surrounded her, a drop of cold sweat broke out on Sonia's forehead.

But faced with this situation, she did not intend to pretend, but said directly:

"Wujitai is very dangerous, it will destroy the entire Galar region!"

"As expected, you know." Olivia's face was full of disdain, and her tone gradually became colder: "Although I don't know where you got the information from, but you must not be allowed to ruin President Roz's plan!"

Olivia waved.

The people in uniforms around them stepped forward to control Sonia, snatched the Poké Ball and Rotom cell phone from her, and locked her in a small room.

Sonia was extremely panicked.

Because she discovered that President Roz was actually using the energy from the Wishing Star to feed Wuji Tai Na!

This kind of behavior is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger.

She couldn't imagine what would happen in the Galar region when Wuji Tai accumulated enough energy.

The dark night that almost led to the destruction of the Galar region thousands of years ago may come to the Galar region again!

The small underground room was dark.

Sonia wanted to tell Emperor Dan about the news, but there was no way.

She didn't know how long she waited before the door to the room opened.

President Lotz walked in from outside.

Sonia looked at him warily.

President Lotz took the initiative to say hello to her:

"Long time no see, Sonia. By the way, how is Dr. Mulan doing lately?"

Sonia said nothing.

President Lotz didn't care at all.

He said to himself:

"Speaking of which, I should be grateful to Dr. Mulan. Thanks to her research, we were able to use the energy contained in the wishing star to make a giant wristband that makes Pokémon grow bigger, giving the Galar region what it has today. You haven’t seen the development of the Galar region. So many people have come to the Galar region. The scene is really lively like never before!”

At this point, President Lotz suddenly changed the subject.

"However, such a scene will no longer exist in a thousand years. At that time, no one will even survive in the Galar region. In order to solve that crisis, we must rely on the power of Wuji Dina."

"Maybe you can't understand my mood at the moment, but it doesn't matter. I don't need your understanding. Everything I do is for the Galar region!"

President Roz looked at Sonia indifferently.

"I don't know what you investigated, but you should stay here until the end of the world championship!"

After speaking, President Roz walked out of the room and closed the door.

Olivia stepped forward and asked, "President Roz, what should we do now?"

Roz thought for a moment, and then asked: "How many wishing stars have you collected?"

Olivia: "If all of it is put into use, the energy will be enough to revive Wuji Tai!"

"In that case, then advance the plan!" Roz said.

There are a lot of talents in this World Championship. If they are here, together with Dan Emperor, they can definitely help him conquer and control Wuji Tina, and then use it for him.

The savior who can save the future of the Galar region... As long as he is there, the resources of the Galar region can last for another thousand years.

Maybe people will not be able to understand his actions at the moment, but I believe that in a thousand years, everything he has done will be proven.

Hearing this, Olivia was slightly startled.

"Doing this may lead to the recent out-of-control riots of Gigantamax Pokémon in the Galar region..."

"This is a necessary test leading to the future." Roz looked at Olivia and said to her: "Sometimes, some sacrifices are inevitable."

Olivia was stunned, and then nodded vigorously: "Yes, I understand!"
