Pokémon: An Encounter with You

Chapter 434 Welcome home

"As expected, a battle between two coordinators and two trainers."

"I just don't know whether the coordinators and trainers will be matched up in pairs, or as revealed before, one coordinator and one trainer will fight each other to make the final "ascent to the summit..."

"I personally think it's the latter. This way the championship will be more valuable, right?"

…………

"My perspective is different from yours... Haven't you noticed that three of the top four players are from our Summer District?"

"The strength of the Xia District is known to the world, so what's so surprising about this... Isn't this as it should be?"

"Same as above. Isn't this as it should be?"

“Isn’t this as it should be?*2”

“Isn’t this as it should be?*3”

“Isn’t this as it should be?*4”

…………

“Isn’t this as it should be?*”

The semi-finals of the "Climbing the Summit" event were not divided into groups and started immediately like before, but were scheduled for two days later.

One is to allow the four players to rest and recuperate, and strive to be in the best condition.

The second is to warm up the "climbing" activity again.

"Ah, ah, the groups are out!"

At the Elf Center, Shi Qiu, who was feeding the life energy to the lamp ghost in the backyard, heard someone calling him from a distance.

Turning around, as expected, the figure running towards him was the happy Yize.

He was upset for a few hours after being eliminated, but soon recovered. After learning from Shi Qiu the reason why this happened after super evolution, he decided to cultivate a good relationship with his own Dragonite in the future.

"look!"

Ize pushed the struggling Rotom phone in front of Shi Qiu's face.

Above is the official website of the celebration conference, with the top four groups displayed in cursive font in the center.

"The first match of the semi-finals, Song Yi vs. Alex."

"The second match of the semi-finals, Shi Qiu vs Zhang Qiaohe."

The same information that Mr. Considine had revealed to them before.

Shi Qiu took a look and was about to nod perfunctorily and continue feeding the elves, but he accidentally glanced at the line of small words below and was immediately surprised.

"A 6vs6 battle mode? Traditional half-court full-court battle rules?!"

Isn't it said that the final will be an all-comers competition?

Ize leaned over and said, "This time the groups are not trainer vs. trainer, or coordinator vs. coordinator. It is said that this is to better select the best of the two groups for the final Imperial City PK..."

As he spoke, his voice became quieter.

The seemingly fair and reasonable overall battle rules are definitely not very friendly to Shi Qiu.

For example, up to now, Shi Qiu has only had six elves on the field, among which the Lamp Ghost is visibly much weaker, and the Green Wash Zoroark is just at the level of an ordinary top-level coordinator ace.

Compared with the other three, this young man's foundation is visibly too weak.

"Tell me, are you being targeted by the celebration officials again?" Yize said in a low voice, seeming very indignant for Shi Qiu Ming.

Shi Qiu didn't feel like he was being targeted. In fact, he was looking forward to the full-scale battle.

Hiss, thinking about it carefully, until today, he really hadn't played many high-end 6vs6 games. In terms of the sensitivity of hand-changing, he was definitely not as good as those old hands.

"Are you not angry?" After looking at Shi Qiu silently for a while, Yize suddenly asked him.

Shi Qiu was also surprised: "What's there to be angry about?"

Strength is supreme, and that's fair.

Seeing what Yize meant, Shi Qiu laughed: "The 6vs6 competition system is not targeting me at all, it is just to increase the professionalism and excitement."

"If I have to say, this kind of event change at most means that the festival officials just don't care about me or don't consider me... This is obviously different from targeting me."

"Unless they just want to pave the way for stability through sacrifice like in the previous Magic City Gorgeous Competition, and even go so far as to regroup and manipulate the situation behind the scenes, that's called targeting."

As for not considering him...

What's the big deal? He is a superstar and a highly praised quasi-master coordinator, so it's only right that he should be given more consideration.

"So as long as we fight all the way, the organizer will have to consider it even if they don't want to." Shi Qiu concluded with a faint smile.

He is really not angry.

This morning, a response from a fellow simulator member kept him in a good mood for a long time.

…………

…………

Two days later.

The early morning when the semi-finals are about to begin.

Simulator, inside the island paradise.

Shi Qiu brushed off the non-existent dust on his body and gathered all his companions together.

Aledo and Zeraora leaned against a big tree, while Lucario quietly stood guard behind Shi Qiu.

Ice Ninetail found a big rock, made a temporary ice stone with Zhenbing, and lay lazily on it. Washing Green Zoroark crossed his arms coldly, forced a handsome pose, and adjusted his facial expression thoughtfully.

The foam squirrel stayed safely in the boy's arms. The light ghost held the small dark book in his shadow claws, and half of his body appeared from Shi Qiu's shadow.

Manaphy lay on Shi Qiu's head and made a nest with her thick white hair.

In front of them, surrounded by all the elves, was a lifelike and exquisite statue.

Compared to when I first encountered it, the vitality seemed to be nowhere to be found, but now I can clearly feel the vitality of the statue just by looking at it.

Shi Qiu's pupils lit up with golden light, and golden particles escaped from his hands.

After this energy covered the statue and skillfully communicated with its spiritual world, there was a crisp snapping sound, and cracks appeared on the statue, gradually spreading throughout the body.

Shi Qiu and the elves did not panic, but watched silently as the pieces of debris fell off.

The life waveguide vibrated, and rich natural force and soul energy descended in an instant.

Their familiar little friend opened his eyes.

"Welcome back, my little painter."

Meeting the familiar gaze, the boy opened his arms and smiled.

Welcome home, Tutu dog.
