Psychic Empress? Psychic Warrior!
The schedule for this afternoon is now available!
Master Rodriguez narrowed his eyes and slowly said, "This year, the University Student League has a total of 30 colleges and universities, with a total of 180 participants."
"According to previous competitions, players from the same school will not face each other in the elimination round."
"Look at your respective divisions."
After the voice was heard, everyone took out their mobile phones one by one, logged into the official competition website, and checked the competition area they were assigned to.
"I'm in Division D," Liam said calmly.
"Competition B," Maxwell said firmly.
"Division F." Eliza raised her eyebrows and said in a serious voice.
Bruce also glanced at his phone and said, "I'm in Division A."
The other two players were also assigned to different competition areas, and there were no early matchups.
Master Rodriguez nodded slightly and then, with a smile at the corner of his mouth, said, "Everyone must take the elimination round seriously and strive to enter the main competition stage."
"Alright!" everyone responded in unison.
At two o'clock in the afternoon,
The official elimination round of the University Student League began.
Madison Square Garden in Capital Metropolis was packed, with almost all the seats occupied, most of them by university students from various schools.
They shouted loudly, waved flags to cheer, and the Western players were cheered on.
"How does it feel? Is it more exciting than the First-Year Student Exchange Competition?" Liam asked with a smile as he sat next to Bruce.
Bruce nodded and replied, "This place alone has a lot to offer."
Not only the venue, but the most intuitive feeling is actually the atmosphere, which must be very warm.
The deafening cheers and applause were enough to make all the players present feel an adrenaline rush and become extremely excited.
In the center of the venue, it was divided into several battlefields, corresponding to different competition areas, and multiple battles were held simultaneously.
Bruce and Liam sat in the contestant observation seats, waiting for their own games.
The matches went on one after another. Bruce watched and realized that it was much more exciting than the rookie exchange match. The Pokemon from both sides were stronger, and the gameplay between the trainers was even more outstanding.
Unlike in the past, when a match could end in just a few minutes, the current 3V3 battle format took longer, almost ten or even twenty minutes to finish.
After a while, Bruce's phone vibrated slightly. It was an official notification from the competition committee, telling him to prepare for his match.
Bruce left the observation area, went straight to the battlefield corresponding to competition area A, and waited to the side.
This match was very intense, and both players only had their last Pokemon left. After a fierce battle, the winner was finally determined.
The winner let out a long sigh of relief, his face full of emotion, and ran to the injured Pokemon on the field; the loser shook his head helplessly, returned his Pokemon, turned around, and left.
"Bruce, please come to the stage," said the staff member standing to the side, pointing at the field and smiling.
"Okay."
Bruce responded, first exhaling deeply, then with a slight smile on his face, took a step forward, and walked towards the battlefield.
For a moment, warm applause and cheers erupted from the stands on both sides, and the voices cheering for Bruce came one after another.
Bruce may not be the favorite player in this year's University Student League or a strong contender for the championship, but he must be a super popular player.
It is an unprecedented precedent for first-year students to participate in the University League, and he is bound to be noticed by everyone.
Therefore, the stands on both sides were filled, and everyone looked at Bruce, who appeared on stage, with curiosity.
At the same time,
There were also quite a few people in the guest seats glancing at Bruce with curiosity.
In the live broadcast room of competition area A, countless netizens entered for a while, and the popularity of the live broadcast room continued to rise.
"I've been a fan of Bruce for ten years, so I came here without being invited."
"Bruce, hurry up!"
"Do you know what the usual progress speed is?"
According to the event information, Bruce's first opponent was from Vespucci University, named Samuel Harris, with an average appearance and height.
It was just that Samuel's face was tense at this moment, his expression somewhat dignified, and he seemed a little nervous.
"Bad luck," he looked at Bruce on the opposite side and murmured softly.
He would rather face an ordinary young contestant than Bruce.
As the saying goes, things go wrong when demons appear, and he would not underestimate Bruce just because he was a first-year student.
But the fact had already occurred, and he was doomed to not change it but to face it calmly.
Samuel let out a sigh and then stood firmly in his seat, waiting for the referee to speak.
The referee looked around, held up the flag, and said loudly, "Please send out your Pokemon!"
After the words fell, Samuel discarded the complicated thoughts he had just had, his eyes froze, and he threw a Poke Ball into the air:
"Rely on you, Drapion!"
A white light blossomed, and the Poke Ball opened in the air, releasing a huge Pokemon onto the field.
Its entire body was a dark and light purple color, covered by a hard shell. This was Drapion.
This Drapion was level 43, and its ability was 【Sniper】.
"Raise the intensity at the start of the game." Looking at the imposing Drapion in front, Bruce sighed slightly.
There are no weak players who can enter the University Student League.
At the same time, standing on the field, calmly watching the fierce and anxious Drapion.
"Of course, it's Gardevoir..."
Seeing Gardevoir appear, Samuel's eyebrows lit up with excitement, secretly thinking that his guess was really good.
In his view, Bruce, as a trainer (Blaziken:?) specializing in psychic powers, would definitely send out Gardevoir or Metang as the first Pokemon.
Thus, he sent out Drapion, which was perfectly countered.
Drapion was completely immune to psychic abilities and was one of the best options for dealing with psychic Pokemon.
Meanwhile,
The three from Bin, who came to watch the battle, observed from a distance. Azalea squinted her eyes slightly and said quietly, "This is a bit complicated."
As a true psychic-type trainer, Azalea was well aware of how tricky Drapion could be.
"It won't bother him," Bin waved his hand, his words full of confidence in Bruce.
From his understanding of Bruce, Bruce must be hiding cards one after another, always ready to play tricks.
And considering the strength Bruce showed during the trials, the elimination rounds were a piece of cake.
Seeing that both players were ready, the referee lowered the flag and shouted loudly, "The battle has officially begun!"
After the voice fell, Samuel stretched out his arms without hesitation and shouted, "Drapion, use Rollout."
"Roar!"
Drapion responded with a deep voice, fierce eyes, opened its mouth wide, and sprayed a puddle of venom at Gardevoir's feet.
The poison spread quickly, and terrifying poisonous bubbles appeared, making everyone's hearts race.
【Toxic Spikes】, it can poison the rival's replaced Pokemon.
Well, since there were only two Pokemon in the first-year exchange stage, there was almost no Pokemon rotation.
But now it was different; the rotation strategy was very important, which is why it's the focus of many players.
At the same time Drapion used Toxic Spikes, Gardevoir opened her mouth, and a stream of flames erupted, instantly gathering into a thick column of fire that rushed toward Drapion.
"Use Air Slash to avoid it!" Samuel said sternly after thinking for a moment.
"Roar!"
Drapion roared wildly, its eyes sharp, quickly stepped forward, its four lower limbs swinging simultaneously, and skillfully avoided the Mystic Fire with very agile movement.
Afterward, Drapion closed in on Gardevoir at an astonishing speed, its body like an afterimage, so fast that it left everyone dumbfounded.
"Poison Fang!" Seeing this, Samuel had a look of joy in his eyes. He felt that things were going in a favorable direction.
Drapion opened its mouth fiercely, its fangs full of venom, and bit directly at Gardevoir in front of it.
"Fire Punch," Bruce said calmly, with a serene expression.
Fire Punch?
Hearing Bruce's voice, Samuel was a bit surprised.
Immediately, Gardevoir faced Drapion, who was approaching without hesitation, swinging her slender arms and covering the furious flames with her delicate fists.
Her eyes were sharp, her fists roaring, and in an instant, she launched dozens of punches like a rainstorm.
Ember splashed and first struck Drapion in the face, making it howl and involuntarily close its mouth.
Immediately afterward, Gardevoir struck vigorously, seeming to transform from a queen into a goddess of war, blow after blow, sending sparks onto Drapion one after another.
"Roar!"
Drapion roared furiously, its tail swinging frantically, and the air shook. The pain on its face spread throughout its body, and it retreated again and again.
Seeing this scene, countless people were stunned.
"No, did Samuel change the direction of his attack?"
"Psychic Warrior, right?"
"Samuel's command was fine, getting in close for a melee, but he slightly underestimated Gardevoir..."
Yes, this is exactly one of the results of Gardevoir's recent training.
Even the psychic queen must master the three punches of a farmer!
Bin shrugged, as if not expecting it, and said lightly: "Let me tell you, there's absolutely no pressure."
Samuel was truly baffled by the Fire Punch. He was stunned for a moment before recovering and quickly shouting, "Drapion, Shadow Ball."
But when Drapion started gathering the Shadow Ball, a dazzling white light covered the entire battlefield, completely engulfing Drapion.
Brilliant Shine!
Drapion's heartbreaking roar echoed throughout the place, its face turning extraordinarily fierce, and its body became covered in charred black.
Boom!
Samuel looked up, Drapion staggered and then collapsed directly to the ground, falling into a coma.
"Drapion is incapacitated!" The referee raised the flag at the right moment and shouted loudly.
Samuel's body also swayed, his face full of doubts about life.
"Is this how you lost?" Samuel said in a hoarse voice, his lips twitching.
