Chapter 521: Chapter 521 Steven vs Shirona
...
Semifinals.
The Lily of the Valley youth tournament with a focus of ten thousand finally entered the semi-finals.
This is certainly an exciting thing for every audience who pays attention to this game.
This Lily of the Valley youth tournament was definitely the highest quality youth tournament in recent years.
Be it the strength of the player's Pokemon, or the control of each player's tactics and rhythm, it shows the high "quality" of the contestants this time.
There was no doubt that in a high-quality game like this, those who could reach the semi-finals were definitely famous figures among the current generation of young people, the future hope of the Alliance.
The attention this tournament has drawn is definitely the highest in recent years.
Lance, Steven, Shirona, these already popular players, of course, this competition made them even more popular.
The most unexpected thing was Natsu's "dark horse".
Question .
Of course, no matter what steps he could take in the future, his current position far exceeded people's expectations.
And the happiest, of course, was from the start, the group of people who started supporting Natsu during the group stage.
They, have become loyal supporters of Natsu.
There are others who are first interested in Pokémon like Togekiss, Beedrill, Alakazam, Doublade and then slowly start supporting Natsu.
But anyway, the game hadn't started yet, and the cheers for him weren't actually any lower than Lance's.
Don't doubt it.
After all, this is Sinnoh.
Even some passersby, between Lance and Natsu, will vote for Natsu, who represents the Sinnoh Region.
However, it was not Natsu and Lance who appeared first in the semifinals, but Steven and Shirona.
This is arranged by the team, and the match between Lance and Natsu is arranged after.
Not to mention their popularity. They are the top players in this competition. Their names represent everything.
Natsu sat in the waiting room, noticed Lance beside him who kept rubbing his hands, and patted him on the shoulder strangely.
"What makes you nervous?"
Lance glared at him angrily, "It wasn't because of you."
"I said, I will play." Natsu reassured.
"Are you sure? You don't have six Pokemon, how do you fight?" Lance hesitantly said.
Natsu glanced at him "Can't you fight without six Pokemon?"
Seeing him as if he was afraid he wouldn't fight, Natsu was also amused.
It was clear that he was the one who should be more worried about not being able to beat him, but now he was more nervous.
Can't blame him either.
Even in the face of an evil force like Team Rocket, Lance is not nervous, but the long-awaited battle with his best friend is finally about to begin, and he is a little worried about the advantages and disadvantages.
"Don't think about it, Shirona and Steven's duel is about to start."
Natsu looked at the screen.
Even through the screen, the cheers of the audience could be heard one after another.
"Senior Natsu, who do you think will win?" Lorelei asked, tilting her head slightly.
"Must be Senior Steven!" The transparent little Roxanne took up a rare immediate position.
"I don't think so."
Suddenly, several silhouettes came from outside.
He was led by a man with hands in his pockets, an exploding head, and a man swaying.
Flint!
And behind him, were three people.
One of them was Volkner with a flat face and no emotion at all. His character and Flint's are two extremes, but they complement each other very well.
Natsu was surprised by the other two.
One of them wears a black vest and has green hair, especially the boy with a bunch of tall "stupid" in the middle.
Aaron!
Future Bug-Type Elite in the Sinnoh Region.
It was just that Aaron's bad luck met an opponent who was good at the Fire Type and was eliminated.
In fact, Aaron's strength isn't weak, and he's also one of the few Trainers who specialize in Bug-Type Pokémon.
The experience is actually a bit similar to Natsu's, Bug-Type Pokémon have never been very promising Pokémon, but Aaron is forcibly relying on these Bug-Type Pokémon to reach the Elite Four position in the future.
It was also the Elite Four who would only have one Bug Type in the future.
This alone shows that he is not simple.
The other was wearing a red suit, sunglasses, and long purple hair, looking very scientific.
This is the future Sinnoh Psychic Elite, Lucian!
It was Shirona's family and friends.
Even though Aaron followed behind Flint, his eyes continued to look ahead, as if searching for something.
Then, his eyes lit up when he saw Natsu.
He stepped forward, "Master Natsu! I'm your fan!"
As he spoke, he wanted to grab Natsu's hand, but luckily Natsu dodged.
Natsu Master
Natsu moved the corners of his eyes.
"Master" was never a good word in his dictionary.
Master = Big Wet.
"Master Natsu, I."
Natsu interrupted before he could say much, "Call me Natsu."
"Uh, are you okay?" Aaron was surprised.
Natsu nodded.
"Oh well, that's it, Mas.. Natsu, I wanted to ask, how did your Beedrill grow, how should the Bug Type Pokémon 'Boss Breath' be maintained, and why is your Beedrill electrified?"
Natsu didn't know how to answer a series of questions.
Understandable.
Aaron is a Trainer who specializes in Bug-Type Pokémon. Bug Type Pokemon have been criticized all the time. Seeing Natsu who also used Bug Type Pokémon Beedrill and also made it to the semi-finals, couldn't help but get a little excited.
"Okay, Aaron, Miss Shirona's competition is about to start, let's finish." Flint called Aaron just in time.
"Oh, yes, OK." Aaron then came back to his senses.
Natsu gave him a grateful look.
As a result, Flint looked up at him his brows raised with a strange smile on his face.
Natsu: "."
In the field.
Steve and Shirona threw Poke Balls at the same time.
Appearing in front of Steven is a burly and ferocious Pokémon clad in metal, Aggron!
And what Shirona calls is Lucario, who is handsome and confident with his movements, and is nicknamed "street dog" by those who like him!
"In Attributes, Shirona has a huge advantage." Lorelei muttered.
"Shirona and Steven, Shirona's Pokémon Attributes are overall dominant, so she can be relatively lenient." Natsu said without thinking.
"en?"
"I think the Pokemon that Steven sent this time were Aggron, Skarmory, and Shiny Metagross, while Shirona had to use Lucario, Glaceon, and Garchomp."
Natsu said his opinion, only to find that all eyes in the room were on him.
Because the six Pokemon available to both sides are already displayed on the big screen.
Steve's Pokemon are Shiny Metagross, Aggron, Skarmory, Claydol, Aerodactyl, Onix.
The ancient fossil revival engine was only recently discovered, and is not yet mature enough.
So Pokemon like Steven's Armaldo and Cradily that make up for the team's flaws haven't been caught yet.
In particular, Cradily was too important for Steven's entire line-up.
Without Cradily, Steven's lineup is actually quite easy to target.
Water Type, Grass Type, Ground Type all held it in very well.
Check out the six Pokémon Shirona on display, Garchomp, Lucario, Glaceon, Spiritomb, Gastrodon, Roselia.
Among them, the Water Type and Ground Type Gastrodon, the Grass Type Roselia, and the Battle Type Lucario all held back Steven's Pokemon.
Not to mention the Garchomp Ground Type.
Even the Dark Type and Spiritomb Ghost Type restrained Shiny Metagross and Claydol Steven.
But the Trump Card Pokémon Aggron and Steven's Shiny Metagross, there are no possible replacements, just Skarmory, one of the few Pokémon that isn't particularly restrained.
Shirona is dominant in Attributes, and the Pokémon selection is relatively calm.
When Natsu finished speaking, everyone in the room was in deep thought.
The truth is that everyone knows that.
Just hearing it, why does Steven feel he has no chance of winning?
At the same time, they admired Natsu's tactical abilities even more.
Not only does Natsu know his own Pokemon very well, but he also knows other people's Pokemon.
This reassures those who specialize in one attribute.
Except for a few Professors who studied Pokémon, they very rarely looked at all of the Pokémon so closely.
After all, being busy training Pokémon and fighting, almost draining everyone's energy, how can there be so much time to learn Pokémon.
Otherwise, don't the Professors involved in Pokémon learn all the Tactical Masters?
Human power is still limited.
"Steven's chance is still there, depending on Shiny Metagross."
Stage One, there was no doubt that Lucario Shirona won.
Attribute's advantages are too obvious, quadruple restraint is too strong, and Lucario's speed also makes it difficult for Aggron to get Struggle's opportunities.
However, this time Shirona did not take Lucario back.
The difference between three of the six singles is more important in determining the Pokémon used by the opponent.
So, as Natsu had guessed, Steven's second summons was Skarmory, which had both the Flying Type advantage and the sky advantage.
As a result, as expected, Lucario lost combat ability.
Shirona's second Pokemon is Glaceon.
Because Skarmory is a typical Pokemon with strong physical defense and weak special defense.
Glaceon deserves to be the striker no. 1 new in Shirona's team.
It's just a tough game.
Although Skarmory's Flying Type was limited, the Steel Type was also very restrained on the ice attribute.
So, when Skarmory fell to the ground, Glaceon wasn't in very good shape.
In the end, Steven still fielded Trump Card Shiny Metagross and quickly beat Glaceon once she got out.
While the win was quick, Glaceon slowed down Shiny Metagross a bit.
This is very important.
It plays an important role in the next battle.
Shirona's final Pokemon is undoubtedly the one she trusts and relies on the most, Garchomp!
This tournament, Quasi-Legendary Pokemon battle for the first time!
All processes, as Natsu expected.
It was as if he was the game director and knew all the scripts.
This undoubtedly made everyone admire his abilities even more.
However, now they didn't have the heart to praise Natsu, because the battle was already very hot.
The atmosphere of the audience is also quite tense. They clenched their fists and held their breath, as if they were afraid saying a word would affect the game.
"Garchomp, Dragon Rush!"
On the TV, Shirona's calm voice was heard.
"Metagross, Zen Headbutt!"
Steven also showed no sign of weakness, choosing to go head to head with Garchomp Shirona.
this wave.
This wave is really a fire star hitting the Earth.
bang! !
The violent collision caused the entire place to explode into an overwhelmed groan.
"Is it really time to gamble?" Natsu narrowed his eyes, staring at the TV.
Whether it's "Dragon Rush" or "Zen Headbutt", there is a certain chance that the opponent will fall into the "Flinch" state.
As far as the current situation was concerned, whoever was lucky enough to make the opponent fall into the "Flinch" state, and had basically won the game.
It seemed to have turned from a fierce battle into a game of luck.
Steven's Shiny Metagross, as a Psychic-Type Pokémon, might be a bit more dominant in will.
But Garchomp Shirona came out with a bit of Laser Focus from the ice and snow of Mount Coronet, training him in the toughest Ice and Snow World environments of Dragon-Type Pokémon, and the same can't be underestimated.
But Natsu pays attention to details that many people don't notice.
"It's done," Natsu said quietly.
"en?" Lorelei stared at the screen filled with smoke and dust, "Senior Natsu, can you see?"
"No, that's the direction." Natsu shook his head.
"Direction?"
Lorelei was stunned for a moment, then quickly reacted.
Garchomp was attacked from top to bottom, while Shiny Metagross was attacked from bottom to top. Although very detailed, Pokemon from top to bottom does have an advantage.
The most important thing is in
The ground just let out a rumbling sound.
"Garchomp, Earthquake!"
The sound of the ground cracking from the collision indicates that both Pokémon have contacted the ground.
On the ground is home to Garchomp.
bang Bang bang!!
With another roar, the battle was finally over.
"Steven. still lose with less favorable Attributes."
Being able to rely on Attributes at an absolute disadvantage to fight Shirona until the final key collision, there was no doubt about her strength.
If Steven gets Cradily later, the outcome of the battle is very unlikely, and he has more options on Pokémon.
But now
the dust gradually disappeared.
Shiny Metagross Steven fell to the ground, while Garchomp Shirona, tired and slightly embarrassed, stood proudly in the center of the field.
"It has been decided! Shirona will advance to the final!!!"
The emcee's trembling voice spread throughout the audience.
"Extraordinary."
"Equally."
"The most stressful."
Inside the room, Several people sighed.
Of course.
It was very beautiful.
On the TV, Shirona and Steven walked to the center of the field and shook hands.
"Congrats." Stefan said with a smile.
"A coincidence." Shirona shook her head, actually getting better.
"I'm looking forward to the fight between Natsu and Lance."
Shirona smiled understandingly, "Me too."
This battle is destined to happen again. On the homepage of the Alliance's official website, this battle has been hanging for a long time.
It seemed that the last time on the homepage of the Alliance's official website was a match between Steven and Shirona.
They also have winners and losers.
To his supporters, winning or losing doesn't seem too hard to accept.
Steven Fan: After all, this is Sinnoh, so Shirona loves playing at home.
Shirona Fans: Sister Shirona always!
It's just that if you tell others that after the battle is over, they are actually looking forward to another battle, and I don't know how they will feel.
