The Final List is Announced!
"Scizor has fainted!"
"Scizor fell to the ground!"
"Scizor is incapacitated!"
Accompanied by the passionate screams of the narrator, warm cheers instantly erupted in the venue.
"No, why did the battle last less than twenty seconds?"
"Well, with the acceleration ability and the quadruple restriction, it's not surprising that Scizor was taken down instantly."
"Bruce really made history, a first-year student reaching the finals of the university league, something unprecedented."
"Outrageous, outrageous, outrageous!"
Among the audience,
Master Rodriguez had a wide smile on his face and applauded along with the whole crowd to celebrate Bruce's promotion.
Liam smiled faintly and said, "In this way, the four of us will advance to the finals."
"There should be a civil war," said Maxwell, crossing his arms lightly.
Eliza tossed her beautiful hair back over her forehead and said softly, "It's fine, just make it to the quarterfinals."
"That's right, let's just make it to the finals," Maxwell nodded in agreement.
Advancing to the finals and also earning the rankings for the multinational youth exchange competition is enough for most players.
On the other side,
"Brother Bruce is amazing!" Nero sat in his seat, hoarse.
Bin, sitting next to him, looked complicated and finally said softly, "He really created a history that can't be replicated."
In Bin's opinion, Bruce's record would last for at least a hundred years, and only those who come later could break it.
In short, at this moment, Bruce, who stands on the field and enjoys the cheers of the audience, has already been honored.
"I don't know what he'll achieve in the end..." Oliver looked at Bruce from afar and whispered.
The young man he met at the beginning in the battle club has reached a height he could not imagine and has become the object of admiration for countless college students.
From the small Torchic to the Blaziken that now dominates the audience, Oliver has witnessed each of his growths and transformations, and has seen his invincibility on the field.
William and Emma cheered and applauded just like the crowd next to them, and Bruce's lively appearance was everywhere.
Alice and Lucia cheered happily in the dormitory, and Sylveon behind them let out an excited growl.
On the huge Metrópolis campus, countless students shouted "Bruce is amazing."
They witnessed history with their own eyes and were witnesses to the invincible journey of this rookie.
But at this moment, inside the University of South Fairbay, in the Park.
"Senior Hawke... has fallen." Kristin's roommate was crying, her face somber.
Jasper has good looks and temperament, plus a gentle personality and great strength. He is a heartthrob in the hearts of countless girls.
Kristin's roommate looked at Jasper with a bitter smile on the big screen, and her heart was about to break.
"The gap is a bit large." Kristin's eyes flickered slightly, closely watching Bruce's Blaziken. "One Blaziken is enough to take down all of Senior Hawke's Pokemon."
The roommate was speechless, and after a while, she said softly, "Kristin, how can you help him speak...?"
Kristin thought for a moment and then responded solemnly, "A trainer must face the gap and admit the deficiencies."
"Bruce can go further," she said finally.
Madison Square Garden,
Amidst the cheers of mountains and tsunamis, Bruce and Jasper walked to the center of the place and shook hands.
"You're very strong," Jasper looked at Bruce in front of him and took the initiative to speak.
"I wish you good luck," he added.
"Thank you." Bruce smiled and nodded.
Jasper nodded, turned around, and left the battlefield. His figure gradually disappeared into the shadow of the player's passage.
Bruce didn't leave the field but stayed in place, waiting for the other seven finalists to enter the stage.
"Do you still remember what I told you on the day of the selection competition?" Liam stood beside Bruce and smiled.
"I remember," Bruce nodded slightly.
At the end of the selection competition, Liam once told Bruce: "Strive to make it to the finals."
Now, they are both standing on the stage of the final, launching the final impact toward the championship.
"Now that you're here, try to make it to the end without regrets," Liam said loudly, looking at Bruce.
"Alright!" In front of Liam's burning gaze, Bruce smiled.
During the speech, the host approached the stage, holding a microphone and said loudly, "My friends, after four and a half days of fierce competition, the university league has finally reached the final stage.
"The eight contestants in front of you have gone through fierce competitions and finally stood out among the 180 contestants and reached the final."
"They are Liam Smith, Maxwell Hayes, Eliza Warren, and Bruce Bayne from Metrópolis University, Luca Modric and Asher Carter from Kandor University, Mariana Dusk from Leicester University, and Nathaniel Cano from Uncanny University.
Both Leicester University and Uncanny University are top-tier old schools and have achieved excellent results in all university student competitions.
Every time the host called a name, there was an explosion of warm applause in the venue, and countless netizens in the live broadcast room cheered for their school.
The eight contestants stood in a row under the spotlight, some smiling, others calm.
The host's voice echoed throughout the venue: "The final stage will be divided into two divisions, with four contestants in each division."
"Only one finalist will emerge from each division."
"And the final champion... will be born from the two finalists!"
"Please look at the big screen below; we will randomly distribute the players in the competition area through the system."
Everyone raised their heads at the same time and looked at the large screen hanging in the air.
On the big screen, the names quickly appeared, and finally, a list of two lines appeared.
[Competition A: Bruce, Luka, Eliza, Mariana]
[Division B: Liam, Maxwell, Asher, Nathaniel]
The moment the competition area list appeared, there was an uproar in the stadium.
"Damn, there's some passion on both sides."
"No need to say, in Division A, the top three are all favorites to win the championship, and Mariana shouldn't be underestimated."
"Division B is similar, except that Liam's strength is slightly greater, and the other three are more equal."
"There are two players from Metrópolis University in each division, so they won't monopolize the finals, right?"
"It's hard to say, Liam in Division B has a high chance of becoming the final winner, but Division A... has Luka."
Master Rodriguez stared at the competition area list, his eyebrows slightly furrowed, and his face filled with solemnity.
"Next, the system will assign the battle list of eight cards," the host said again.
The big screen changed again, and soon, one after another, battle lists appeared.
[Bruce Bayne vs Eliza Warren]
[Luka Modric vs Mariana Dusk]
[Liam Smith vs Asher Carter]
[Maxwell Hayes vs Nathaniel Cano]
Upon seeing the battle list, Bruce was a bit surprised and then turned to look at Eliza beside him.
Eliza also looked over and met Bruce's gaze. With a smile on her lips, she said with a faint smile, "Fight with all your strength."
"Fight with all your strength," Bruce nodded.
Among the audience,
Master Rodriguez sighed secretly and said softly, "Indeed, there's a civil war..."
With four contestants advancing to the final, it was clear to everyone that a civil war was inevitable.
"But actually, that's fine," Master Rodriguez said softly with his eyes slightly shining.
"In this way, as long as Maxwell can defeat his rival, at least three of them will advance to the semifinals."
One of Bruce and Eliza will advance, Liam will definitely advance, only Maxwell is hard to say.
But if Maxwell defeats his opponent, Metrópolis University will occupy three spots in the semifinals. This is an unimaginable achievement, enough to excite all the students at Metrópolis University.
"And if Bruce or Eliza defeats Luka, maybe the final will be a civil war within Metrópolis University..." Master Rodriguez rubbed his chin and muttered to himself.
When the battle list was released, the contestants looked at each other in pairs, their gazes met, and there seemed to be a strong smell of gunpowder in the air.
That night,
Still that room.
"There's not much to say."
"First of all, congratulations on advancing to the final, making it to the top eight, and qualifying for the multinational youth exchange competition." Master Rodriguez looked at the four people in front of him, with a smile on his lips, and said slowly:
"For the next match, just give it your all and strive not to have any regrets."
"But don't pressure yourselves too much psychologically," Master Rodriguez said.
"Understood," they all answered in unison...
After a long time, they all turned around and left the room.
Maxwell and Eliza walked side by side, and Maxwell lifted his head and asked slowly, "How does it feel to fight against Bruce?"
Eliza stopped, thought for a moment, and then responded seriously, "It's a little strange."
"Facing a first-year student in the final, anyone would think it's incredible," said Maxwell.
Immediately, Maxwell said solemnly, "You've seen so many games, Bruce is very strong, and the three Pokemon are extremely hard to deal with, so don't be careless."
Eliza nodded slightly and said calmly, "Don't worry, I'm ready."
"Let's go," said Maxwell softly after hearing her words.
On the other side,
"Eliza's strength is very powerful. During the rookie exchange competition, I was just a little better." Liam looked at Bruce beside him and said, "To defeat her, you must use all your strength."
"I will," Bruce nodded slightly.
Afterwards, Liam patted Bruce on the shoulder and smiled slightly, "In a word, I hope to meet you in the final stage."
After returning to the room,
Bruce opened the social platform and saw a video sent by Emma.
Clicking on the video, the screen shook slightly, and there were loud sounds around, like chaotic human voices mixed together.
"Hold on tight." Emma's phone suddenly sounded.
As the voice lowered, the camera gradually stabilized, and Bruce could clearly see the scene in the image: the huge venue, the crowd cheering, and him standing in the center of the venue.
Bruce was a little surprised and immediately sent a message: "Did you come to Metrópolis City?"
Emma quickly replied to the message: "I arrived last night, watched the match all day, and your performance was perfect."
Bruce remained silent for a while and then said, "Why didn't you tell me earlier?"
"It's fine, focus on preparing for the battle and leave us alone."
"Your father and I are more familiar with Metrópolis City than you."
"Alright, rest well tonight and prepare for tomorrow's match in the best competitive condition," Emma finally said.
After closing the chat box, Bruce soon fell into a deep sleep.
But the heated discussion about the university league quietly began that night.
In a short period of time, several reports on the university league rushed to the hot search on the Internet.
#Final Match List of the University League#
#Rational Discussion, It Will Only Make You the Absolute Champion of This University League#
#First-Year Student Reached the Final of the University League, What Does This Represent?#
#He's a first-year student, a research student, and a descendant of the Elite#
Due to Bruce's special status, his popularity on the Internet far exceeds that of other players by 4.3, and he has become the focus of discussion among countless netizens.
In the development history of Avalon in recent years, I really can't find a more talented trainer than Bruce.
"There's nothing to say. His family background is top-notch in Avalon. He seems attractive, powerful, and has a sophisticated, authoritarian style, and occasionally, he also has a spiritual authoritarian style. No novel dares to write like this."
"I have a question, Bruce is a research student, will he transfer to the combat department?"
"That's nonsense, he will definitely do it, specializing is the real path."
"Bruce has already demonstrated his unparalleled talent as a trainer. It's hard to say about the research department, and he will probably transfer to another department."
"Even if you're a perverted genius, it's impossible to specialize in two disciplines at the same time, not to mention that if you specialize in research, you need at least decades of persistence day and night before achieving anything."
"Students from the research department say something, this doesn't help much with perseverance, what matters most is talent."
"Trainer. Raising and training Pokemon will take a lot of time, and if you focus on research, it will take a lot of time as well."
"Based on this situation, unless Bruce is also a genius in research, achieving something that is obviously unrealistic is possible."
Accompanied by the passionate discussions of countless netizens, the excitement of the university league is frenetic.
There are scalpers selling tickets for tomorrow's final, and the price has skyrocketed to very high levels.
But the most indispensable thing in this world is rich people, and all the tickets were sold out in no time.
This afternoon, everyone was eager to watch the final exhibition match of the university students the next day.
