The Unstoppable Bruce!
Staples Center,
The cheers hit like a roar on the mountain and a tsunami; the entire audience was boiling, and the flood in the live broadcast room was overwhelming.
"We understand why she is called the Psychic Queen!"
"It's over; Atsuya probably won't see Bruce's Blaziken again."
"There's not much time left for the Utopians team."
"The facts have proven that Dragon-type Pokémon is the defense against Fairy-type Pokémon."
Martin Tyler shouted hoarsely, "Salamence has lost the ability to fight!"
"At this moment, the eyes of the entire world are focused on the Staples Center, Bruce!"
And Atsuya, with only one Pokémon left, is under immense pressure.
"Come on, Aegislash."
After a long silence, Atsuya threw the Poké Ball expressionlessly.
In the final battle, Aegislash will fight against Gardevoir, who has taken on Mega form!
When the final whistle blew, Gardevoir was bruised and looked at Aegislash, whose eyes had turned into circles.
"Aegislash is unable to battle!"
"Therefore, the winner is Bruce Bayne!" The referee raised the Avalon flag and announced loudly.
The atmosphere in the venue reached a climax, and the roaring cheers nearly toppled the Staples Center.
The brilliant national red flag waved in the strong wind!
Martin Tyler's passionate voice resonated in the live broadcast room: "Win!"
"After three fierce battles, Bruce successfully defeated the Utopians player Atsuya and scored two points for Team Avalon!"
"At this moment, Bruce is the pride of all of us!"
Across Avalon, warm cheers erupted.
William and Emma sat on the couch, watching Bruce on the screen, filled with relief.
"Buyi~"
Sylveon jumped from Alice's arms, looking at Bruce with clear blue eyes.
Alice had a beautiful smile on her face, feeling happy for Bruce.
At the same time, there were lamentations in Utopia.
Staples Center,
Atsuya said nothing, silently recalling the fallen Aegislash, and immediately lifted his eyes to take a deep look at Bruce, as if he wanted to imprint his appearance in his mind.
After a moment, Atsuya moved his lips and coldly said, "Bruce, I remember you."
Bruce glanced at him lightly, chose not to respond, but returned Gardevoir to the Poké Ball and said softly, "Thank you for your hard work; rest well."
Seeing Bruce completely ignore him, Atsuya's expression changed, but he eventually thought of something, turned around, and left with a cold face, exuding an aura of "do not approach."
When Atsuya returned to the Utopians' players' bench, everyone unconsciously lowered their eyes, not daring to look directly at Atsuya.
Only Katsuragi bit his lip hard, raised his eyes, and looked at Bruce's figure, wondering what he was thinking.
There was a brief intermission between the first and second games of the team battle, but at this moment, no one in the Utopians' preparation bench discussed the upcoming game, and everyone fell into a deep silence.
The atmosphere was unprecedentedly solemn.
One minute before the start of the second round of the team battle, Atsuya let out a deep breath. He glanced sideways at the players about to enter the field, narrowed his eyes sharply, and said in a deep voice, "Just win, but lose."
The contestant's expression changed, and he finally gritted his teeth and replied, "Yes, Atsuya-jun!"
The pressure weighed heavily on him like an imposing mountain.
On the other side,
"Don't feel pressured; just perform at a normal level." Julian patted Nathaniel on the shoulder and said with a smile.
"It's fine to fight normally; we're still in it." Luka crossed his arms and said lightly.
Nathaniel's expression changed; he nodded repeatedly, looked at everyone, and said, "I will work hard."
Then, in front of the spotlight, Nathaniel walked toward the battlefield.
The second round of the team battle began slowly.
Nathaniel's strength was actually not bad, and he had played brilliantly in the ring battle.
From Monday to Friday, he was taciturn and transparent, but once he was on the battlefield, Covet would let him advance bravely.
This time, he represented Team Avalon in the team battle.
The strength of the players sent by the Utopians team was decent, comparable to Mikazuki's overall strength, and their main Pokémon could temporarily have gym-level strength due to Mega Evolution.
This match was extremely fierce, with the two Pokémon from both players battling fiercely until they both fell.
"Wow, Nathaniel exploded." Maxwell looked at Nathaniel's figure and said in astonishment.
"He really did explode." Bruce nodded in agreement and continued, "This is a typical extraordinary performance.
In cases where the strength of the two players is not very different, it becomes a performance test on-site and a Contest Condition on-site.
This is a Pokémon battle, and the weak can defeat the strong with the command to win.
Both players sent out their last Pokémon.
The Utopians players performed Mega Evolution directly, while Nathaniel also Mega Evolved on the other side!
"What! Nathaniel's Pokémon can also undergo Mega Evolution!" Maxwell's eyes widened, his face filled with disbelief.
"Wow, it's so deep that we didn't know." Mariana slapped her thigh, exhaling sweetly.
Bruce's eyes shone slightly, and he was also surprised by this matter.
They hadn't given Nathaniel a Mega Stone as a gift at first and never thought he would find the corresponding Mega Stone by himself.
Whether to say it or not, Nathaniel had hidden this matter very well, and they had no idea.
Only Julian showed a slight smile on his face, as if he wasn't surprised by this.
In the field,
Mega Evolution VS Mega Evolution!
After several minutes of fierce fighting, Nathaniel finally won the game with a slight advantage and scored two points for Team Avalon again!
Since then, Team Avalon has led Team Utopians with an impressive record of 4:0!
When Nathaniel returned to the preparation table, Maxwell said softly, "My good boy, you hid so deeply."
"Hey." Nathaniel scratched his head and replied with a smile.
Bruce narrowed his eyes, looked at the points on the big screen, and said, "That way, we already have a significant advantage."
"You only need to score three points in the ring battle, and you can defeat Team Utopians!"
For a moment, all the players were filled with excitement, as if they had already seen the wave of victory for themselves.
Julian cleared his throat, caught everyone's gaze, and said in a deep voice: "The closer you are to victory, the more careful you must be."
"I can't give Rival the slightest chance for a comeback."
"Understood!" Everyone responded in unison.
Immediately, Julian reflected for a moment, looked at Bruce, and said: "Bruce, do you still need to hide your Blaziken?"
As Bruce's ace card, Blaziken hadn't appeared in a long time, which had caused significant deterrence to Rival.
Every opponent would fight against Blaziken.
Bruce understood Julian's meaning, thought for a moment, then looked at Julian and said with a smile, "No need."
He paused for a while, then looked at the Utopians' preparation seats and said softly, "As Teacher Westbrook said, we haven't won yet; we still need to be cautious and use history.
More importantly, everyone thought that Blaziken was Bruce's biggest ace card, but he knew it was not the case.
He also had an ace, a great killer.
In front of Team Utopians, it is entirely possible to send Blaziken to warm up before the final to better deal with tomorrow's final match.
"Alright." Julian nodded slightly, scanned the crowd, and said softly, "Now, let Maxwell rest first; let Bruce start."
Maxwell nodded without hesitation.
In everyone's minds, the team's victory is more important than anything else.
Bruce will be the starter in the ring battle. Such a lineup of four cores will greatly increase the winning rate of the ring battle and ensure the maximum possible victory in the game.
Moreover, morale is very important in the six-player arena battle. Bruce starts the game. Judging by Blaziken's violent performance, it's likely to explode Rival's mindset and affect the rest of the team.
The 15-minute break passed quickly, and the announcement echoed throughout the arena: "All contestants participating in the ring battle are invited to come to the battlefield."
As soon as the words fell, Bruce and the others rose one after another and walked toward the battlefield.
On the big screen, a close-up of Bruce appeared.
The entire audience was in an uproar, talking excitedly.
"The exchange match is happening for the first time, and it's the first time players participate in both the team battle and the arena battle simultaneously!"
"Bruce blocked Atsuya in the previous team battle; Gardevoir and Metagross's Contest Condition have not recovered, which means..."
"Bruce is very likely to send out his starter Pokémon, Blaziken, in the ring fight!"
"This way, the Utopians players will face unprecedented terrifying pressure!" Martin Tyler said passionately.
The live room instantly boiled over.
"Wow, Bruce is going to damage the rest of the Utopians players."
"The great devil is coming to the ring battle!"
"Bruce: I want to knock out 6!"
"I hope Bruce is the starter and not the last one to appear."
As for the Utopians players participating in the group arena, after seeing Bruce's figure on the opposite side, their complexions changed completely.
Katsuragi opened his mouth slightly
, his pupils narrowing slightly, and his bright face showed a look of surprise.
What Atsuya was worried about finally happened. Bruce, who had never sent out Blaziken in the team battle, participated in the ring battle.
This way, they are about to face a gym-level Blaziken with terrifying combat power, and the invisible pressure rushes toward them, suffocating each Utopians player's breath.
The invincible Atsuya in their eyes was brutally crushed in the face of Bruce, and now they were about to face such a great demon...
At this moment, Mikazuki let out a deep breath, not looking at Bruce, and said in a deep voice, "Believe in yourself."
"It's a team game; you can't play alone against us."
"All of Utopians are watching us; the legend of Team Utopians is created by us."
As soon as this comment was made, the mood of all Utopians players stabilized a bit. They nodded and adjusted their Contest Conditions.
"The first contestant, please enter the driver's seat!" A loud voice came from the radio, resonating throughout the place.
For a moment, the entire audience held their breath, looking to both sides, waiting for the first contestant to appear on stage.
In anticipation, Bruce smiled and slowly walked toward the command seat.
"Bruce debuts!"
The commentators from various countries instantly erupted, and the entire audience erupted in applause.
The first player sent by Team Utopians was Kimimaro Kaguya, who had played brilliantly in previous games.
Bruce looked at the young man with black hair on the opposite side, let out a shallow breath, steadied his mind, and awaited the battle.
Liam and others stood in the open space behind Bruce, all looking at Bruce's back and cheering for him.
In the stands behind Bruce, the Avalon audience vigorously waved the bright red five-star flag, becoming the most beautiful sight.
The referee walked to the center of the field, looked around, raised the flag, and said loudly: "The battle begins!"
As the voice hit the ground, Bruce threw the Ultra Ball upward, and a beam of red light fell onto the field.
Blaziken was full of vigor, with a strong figure, its blue eyes as calm as a pool of water, and slowly assumed a battle stance.
Under everyone's gaze, Blaziken did not exude a terrifying aura but stood silently, giving Kimimaro a terrifying sense of oppression.
In front of the TV,
Master Sugar Ray nodded slightly, with appreciative eyes, and said with a smile: "The breath is hidden within, concealed and not released; Blaziken has made great progress again."
When calm, it is like a bubbling stream, but when fighting, it is like a rushing wave, which is a deep state.
Obviously, Blaziken, who had never revealed the slightest breath, was more terrifying than Metagross.
Kimimaro also realized this, looking at Blaziken, adjusting his breath, and throwing the Poké Ball:
"Let's go! Absol!"
Absol landed lightly, its limbs swaying from side to side, the white fur covering its forehead, and a black scythe protruding from its forehead.
【Pokémon: Absol (Dark)
Ability: Pressure
Qualification: Elite
Level: Iv 49 (Ace)】
"Absol, the Pokémon that conveys news of disasters, is often misunderstood by people but is actually a very kind and helpful Pokémon."
Martin Tyler presented: "On the list of Mega Pokémon announced some time ago, Absol is on the list!"
The audience held their breath.
Absol's deep pupils met Blaziken's calm blue ones.
"Blaziken, Close Combat." Bruce extended his arms.
Blaziken's wrists exploded with blazing flames, and with its vigorous flying Lunge, it sliced through a white glow at an astonishing speed, creating a Sonic Boom with a 'bang'!
"Protect!"
Looking at the surprisingly imposing gym-level Blaziken in front of him, Kimimaro shouted, not daring to be careless.
Absol's body illuminated with a layer of Protect barrier, and in front of Blaziken's impact for just half a second, the sound of 'click' was broken!
There was a commotion inside and outside the venue.
