First Victory for Team Avalon!
"In Bruce's battle against the strongest player from Team Ravonia, Henry, Gardevoir achieved three consecutive victories in a one against three matchup, scoring two valuable points for Team Avalon!"
"This marks the first victory for Team Avalon in this exchange competition!"
"Let's applaud Bruce Bayne and Team Avalon!"
Accompanied by the passionate cheers of Martin Tyler, the first team battle between Team Avalon and Team Ravonia had come to a close.
Team Avalon took the lead, scoring two points and outpacing Team Ravonia.
After the results of the first team battle were announced, Avalon's major social media platforms and live broadcast rooms exploded instantly.
Despite Henry utilizing Mega Evolution, he was still defeated by Gardevoir in a one against three scenario. Bruce's strength surpassed everyone's expectations.
In the Avalon Spectator Seats,
All the students and foreign onlookers were ecstatic, and the bright red national flag waved proudly in the wind.
"Come back, Aggron." Henry looked somber, his tone icy as he recalled Aggron, who had fallen to the ground.
He had envisioned battling Bruce more than once yesterday, and despite being very cautious and treating it seriously, facing this brutal defeat caused his mindset to shatter.
He knew in his heart that this was a flagrant crushing match.
Even after using Mega Evolution and anticipating various battle scenarios, he was completely caught off guard by this blow.
He had originally thought that by evaluating Mega Aggron, he could at least win one match, but he never expected the loss to be even more miserable and humiliating.
Seeing the gloomy Henry, Bin in front of the screen suddenly reveled in the moment, almost laughing out loud.
No one knows better than him what it feels like to be defeated by Bruce.
"Anyway, you get used to losing and losing."
"It will end the same way next time." Bin murmured softly.
"Huh?" Sensing Bin's strange demeanor, Elite Lance glanced over, giving him an inquisitive look.
Bin immediately straightened up and said solemnly, "Uncle, I'm really happy for Team Avalon."
"Every victory is hard-earned."
The corners of Lance Elite's mouth lifted slightly, but he ignored Bin's words, thinking to himself, "The performance of Mega Evolution in the battle exceeded my expectations."
"The search for the Mega Stone must be accelerated."
As Henry, with a face like ash, returned to the player bench, the atmosphere here was unprecedentedly grim.
Each player lowered their eyes, not daring to look directly at Henry.
Only Michael managed a smile and said to Henry, "It's alright, we still have hope."
"Yeah." Henry responded softly, then sat on the bench, staring blankly at the ground, lost in thought.
For this competition, his family had acquired the Mega Stone for Aggron at great expense.
In the first match, the word 'failure' was etched on his face.
At this moment, he didn't know if it was the right choice for him to take the initiative to challenge Bruce.
If he had chosen to face the rest of Team Avalon, would he have had any hope of winning?
For a time, complicated thoughts filled Henry's mind.
On the other side,
Facing the congratulations of all the players, Bruce sat on the player bench.
"Good job!"
"First victory!"
Bruce smiled faintly, looked at the crowd, and said, "Next, it's up to you."
Maxwell patted his chest confidently, saying, "Watch me shine!"
Mariana quietly pulled him aside and said loudly, "It's time for Liam to shine next."
Liam smiled softly, "Don't worry, I'll score the other two points."
Everyone had full confidence in Liam.
Ten minutes later, Liam entered the field. His opponent was the second seed of Team Ravonia, whose strength was only slightly below Henry's.
The threat level of this person was just below that of Henry.
Julian rubbed his chin, momentarily puzzled by what the coach of Team Ravonia was thinking as he decided to confront Team Avalon directly.
As the two strongest players of the team, Bruce and Liam could also be considered as the team of Latveria, and careful consideration was necessary; the order of appearance should not be rushed.
However, Team Ravonia, being the best team, allowed their two strongest players to face the two strongest of Team Avalon.
Michael felt bitter; he also wanted to leverage their strengths and avoid weaknesses, organizing the two strongest players to participate in the ring battle to gain more points.
But the national conditions of Ravonia were quite special; he could not arrange for Solaceon to compete smoothly, and the subjective wishes of the players must be respected.
The battle began quickly.
Liam sent out Arcanine first. As a Fire-type Pokemon, Arcanine was extremely fierce. Its strength was almost at gym level, directly defeating the first Pokemon of the Rival!
In the second match, Arcanine continued to perform, and in a final Flare Blitz, it took down the Rival's second Pokéemon, both falling together.
The third battle followed, and Liam sent out Rhyperior, defeating the Rival's third Pokemon with overwhelming force!
From then on, Liam secured the second team battle, scoring two more points for Team Avalon!
Avalon players cheered, and all the teammates shouted for Liam.
The bench of Team Ravonia was completely silent, with no one making a sound.
After witnessing Bruce's and Liam's crushing victories one after another, they had lost all hope for the next match.
Michael took a deep breath and encouraged the players: "Until the very last moment, never give up easily."
"Show your hard work!"
"Even if you lose, you have to stand tall on the field and fall with honor!"
"You carry the hope of all Ravonians; you must give it your all!"
Fifteen minutes later, the ring battle began.
Bruce and Liam sat in the contestant seats, happily watching the performances of everyone.
They chose not to participate in this arena battle.
The defeat of Team Ravonia was an inevitable conclusion. Although their Pokemon were still capable of fighting, it was better to forgo the opportunity to play.
Julian had already begun speculating about the victory or defeat between Team Cindraliay and Dawnshire, conducting research for the next match.
Luka was the first to play, and instead of sending out Kommo-o, he sent out Infernape.
Infernape had also made great progress during the special training in Borealia Mountain. It was now infinitely close to gym level. Although it hadn't advanced yet, its combat power had improved slightly.
Half a minute later, Infernape looked up at the sky; the opposing Pokemon had already fallen.
Luka's face was calm as he glanced at the players of Ravonia on the opposite side and said lightly, "Next."
"Luka finally pretended." Maxwell moved to the side, unable to stop himself from quietly complaining.
The second player quickly entered the scene, and his Pokemon was Blastoise, which had an Attribute advantage against Infernape.
But when facing the Infernape bolstered by [Calm Mind, it was still somewhat challenging. After nearly three minutes of fierce fighting, Blastoise was unwilling to fall, and Infernape also sustained serious injuries.
"Next." Luka said flatly, his eyes calm and his hands in his pockets.
"Damn, let him pretend again." Maxwell watched Luka's back, silently clenching his fists.
Mariana said gently, "If you defeat Luka, you can also pretend."
Come on, for all he knows, Luka's Kommo-o has likely reached gym level, so it's better to win first!
And this may be the fundamental reason why Luka didn't send out Hakamo-o in the ring battle.
The third player from Team Ravonia soon entered the scene, and his Pokemon was strong enough to bring Infernape to the brink of death.
However, because of this, Infernape ignited the [Fire Contest Condition, flames engulfing it, severely injuring the opposing Pokemon, which fell slowly.
In this way, Infernape defeated two Pokemon and severely damaged another, achieving an excellent record.
Luka's face remained calm as he withdrew Infernape with hands raised and slowly exited, telling Eliza beside him, "I leave it to you."
Indeed, up to this point, Team Avalon had scored two points again, now totaling six points. Team Ravonia was almost declared eliminated.
Eliza nodded slightly and sent out her strongest Pokemon, Gallade, without reservation.
Although Gallade hadn't reached gym level, its combat power had also improved, even slightly surpassing Infernape.
Under Gallade's fierce offensive, Ravonia lost three consecutive Pokemon.
Finally, the last player from Team Ravonia appeared.
His Pokemon was a Steel/Flying Corviknight. With the Attribute advantage, it successfully defeated Gallade, who had expended most of its physical strength.
The fifth player from Team Avalon, Maxwell, finally made his debut. (Bruce/Liam/Luka/Eliza)
After a fierce battle, Maxwell lived up to expectations and defeated the last player from Team Ravonia, allowing Team Avalon to score another useless point.
Since then, the score on the big screen changed to 10:2.
Among them, four points came from team battles, and six points came from ring battles.
In front of the crowd's cheers, Maxwell slowly left the stage with a bright smile on his face.
Julian took the time to watch the match for a while, then finally lowered his head and quietly complained, "Team Ravonia has not prepared a complete tactical system."
He didn't know if they weren't ready or if there was a problem with cooperation among the players, as their performance was like a loose sand mass.
From then on, Team Avalon successfully defeated Team Ravonia and advanced to the next stage of the competition.
When the news of Team Avalon's victory spread across the country simultaneously, all the media outlets immediately overflowed, and countless Avalonians cheered with joy.
