Chapter 643 Ranked Match Round 2
Time flies.
Two days passed in the blink of an eye, and the second round of the qualifying competition officially began.
The competition to narrow down the field from 64 to 32 has officially begun. Without a doubt, the large-scale elimination in the previous round means that the contestants who made it to this round are all incredibly strong.
The first match officially began, and the one who made the first move was none other than Erlan Sidil. As the face of the American League, it was normal for him to play in the first match.
The first Pokémon that Erlan sent out was the Elite Four-level Aluminum Bridge Dragon!
It seems that Zhou Wenchao stole the show in the first round, so this time they have to let the Americas shine.
Zhou Wenchao looked down at the aluminum-steel bridge dragon. This should also be considered a pseudo-legendary, right? Compared to the other pseudo-legendary beings who matured late, this one was absolutely awesome.
When Alumina Steel Dragon hatches, it has base stats comparable to the final forms of the starter Pokémon. In the early stages of training, it's no exaggeration to say that it's invincible among its peers.
As expected, Erlan, relying on this Elite Four-level Aluminum Steel Bridge Dragon, swept aside six of the opponent's near-Elite Four peak Pokémon, achieving his first ever six-in-one victory in this tournament!
For a time, the cheers of Erlan's victory even drowned out the cheers of Zhou Wenchao from ten days earlier.
Zhou Wenchao frowned slightly as he looked at the aluminum-steel bridge below. This would be a problem for others, but not for him. He just felt that Erlan wouldn't reveal his full strength so quickly.
In other words, besides Duraludon, he should still have other backup Pokémon. Including Duraludon, he probably has two or three Elite Four-level Pokémon, considering that four or five Pokémon appeared in previous battles.
There probably isn't enough extra energy to train more.
The competition is still ongoing. Compared to the previous round, this competition is scheduled for five days, with only seven matches per day. His match is the first one tomorrow afternoon.
The day passed quickly, and Zhou Wenchao watched a few of the more important matches.
Among them, Erlan Sidil is one, and Nax Evgeny of the Ross Alliance is also a formidable opponent. Sakura's Koga Kagemaru and several others have already caught his attention but have not yet entered the fray.
He wasn't disappointed, after all, it was only the first day of the second round of qualifying, and there were still four days to go.
He glanced at the game information on his wrist.
[Opponent: Kurush, an alliance of the Persian Empire]
"Lotom, pull up the video of the last match of Upper Krush." He still felt it was necessary to learn about the enemy in advance.
"Yes, Master, Loto."
.......
The next afternoon.
"Next up, please welcome Zhou Wenchao from the Great Xia Alliance and Kurush from the Persian Empire Alliance!"
Aerial photography of Rotom was already well-prepared.
Zhou Wenchao took out a Poké Ball that was a mix of brown and purple and held it in his hand.
The only Pokémon that haven't appeared yet beside him are Pidgeot, Chinchilla, Milotic, and Nidoking;
Apart from Nidoking, the other three have already reached the intermediate level of Elite Four, so it's somewhat unreasonable to use them to bully the weak.
"Ah~"
Zhou Wenchao sighed silently. It was so difficult; he couldn't find any suitable Pokémon to fight with.
With the pointer landing on Zhou Wenchao's portrait, it means that the first side to attack has been chosen.
"Go forth, Nidoking!"
"Roar!"
A deafening sound resounded throughout the entire venue!
Nidoking seemed to be venting the emotions that had been building up over the past few days; it hadn't had a proper fight in a long time.
Sensing the imposing aura emanating from Nidoran, Kurosaki swallowed hard.
He threw out his Pokémon, "Go, Kingdra!"
"100,000 volts!"
Zhou Wenchao called out softly.
"Stab~"
A blinding bolt of lightning struck the Sea Dragon opposite!
"Sea Dragon, get out of the way!"
"boom!"
Despite its high speed, Seadra was still scratched by Nidoking's Thunderbolt!
"Boom!"
Even a slight scratch sent the Sea Serpent flying several meters backward!
"Sea Spike!"
"Sea Dragon, use Water Cannon!" Kurosh shouted.
Several water-based law chains were wrapped around the sea serpent, one of which already had a significant crack. Judging from its aura, this sea serpent was not far from breaking through to the Heavenly King level.
"Sharp Stone Attack!"
"Shh!"
"Pfft~"
Sharp rocks collided with the sea dragon's water cannons, and the next second, the water cannons seemed to be cleaved in two by a sharp sword.
And it struck the Sea Dragon with undiminished power!
"Seadragon, Dragon Pulse!"
"Boom!"
Dragon-type energy was continuously compressed in the mouth of the Seadra, and then it met the sharp stone attack that Nidoking had just launched!
After the explosion, the Sea Dragon appeared on the field looking somewhat disheveled, with multiple abrasions and burns on its body.
"Seadragon, use Surf!"
Suddenly, a wave appeared on the field, and Seadra rode the wave, as if it were riding the endless waves, and attacked Nidoking!
"That's about it, Nidoking, use Ice Beam!"
"Roar!"
Zhou Wenchao couldn't bear to interrupt Nidoking's attack, so he spoke up.
"Nido!"
A burst of ice energy shot out from Nidoking's mouth, sweeping across the waves.
In an instant, all the waves beneath the Seadra froze, leaving the Seadra at the top completely bewildered!
"The power of the earth!"
"Boom!"
Nidoking lightly stomped his foot, and the entire arena began to shake.
At the very bottom of the Sea Dragon, a huge burst of energy suddenly erupted from the ground, instantly tearing apart all the ice and sending the Sea Dragon flying!
"boom!"
Within a few breaths, the Sea Dragon fell from the sky to the ground, already unconscious!
"Come back, Seadra! Go, Pidgeot!"
Kuros recalled Seadra, clearly still wary of the Earth Power move he had just used. After all, he had felt the earth tremble at the edge of the arena, so he immediately sent out a Flying-type Pokémon.
Zhou Wenchao's lips twitched. He felt that Kurush was provoking him. It seemed that the 100,000 volts and the freezing ray had not deterred this guy.
"Nidoking, 100,000 Volts!"
"Stab!"
Yellow lightning burst forth, striking the Pidgeot in the sky!
"Pidgey, move at high speed!"
"Shh!"
"Shh!"
Pidgeot kept changing positions in the sky, dodging Nidoking's attacks!
"Shadow Clone, take this air slash!"
"Shh!"
Dozens of Pidgeots appeared in the arena, attempting to distract Nidoking.
At the same time, these Pidgeot clones flapped their wings and unleashed several powerful air slashes at Nidoking below!
"boom!"
"Boom!"
The constant clanging sounds hit Nidoking, but only two of them were real attacks!
As the smoke cleared, Nidoking stood unharmed in the arena, as if Pidgeot's attack had merely tickled it.
"locking!"
It's been a long time since I've used this move. Ever since Nidoking learned gravity control, I've rarely had the chance to use it.
However, now is indeed the perfect time to avoid revealing Nido's secrets to others in public.
Nidoking raised his hand, his gaze fixed firmly on Pidgeot flying in the sky!
"Freeze Ray!"
