Chapter 689: No, what kind of Pokémon is Mewtwo again?
Time came to March 24th, Tuesday afternoon.
The group stage battle of the Psychic Master Tournament entered a white-hot stage.
In the process, many contestants had been eliminated, and only 16 of the most outstanding elite contestants remained to compete for the eight tickets to the main knockout stage.
And among them, the battle between Xiang Qingyu and Will was undoubtedly the most worth watching and the most anticipated by the audience.
Although some viewers were not optimistic before the match, believing that Xiang Qingyu, who had no experience in major tournaments, probably couldn't adapt to the intensity of high-level ball matches.
But facts proved... it was actually the Attribute Master Tournament that couldn't adapt to Teacher Yu's intensity!
After experiencing four rounds of easy crushing, "Azure Feather," who was already terrifyingly famous in the trainer field, undoubtedly became a favorite to win the championship in the eyes of many viewers.
As for the other contestant, Will, viewers from other regions might not know him well, but people from Kanto and Johto were still very familiar with him.
After all, Psychics naturally give people a feeling of being mysterious and powerful, and as a powerful Psychic second only to Sabrina, Will had always been considered the successor to the Elite Four.
In time, he would certainly be able to complete the handover between the old and the new, just like in the Sinnoh region, and become the next young member of the Elite Four.
I don't know if it was for the sake of popularity, or if it was just a coincidence in the draw, but the battle between the two experts was actually scheduled in the first group of the afternoon, presented to the audience as the opening.
Therefore, the audience after the lunch break had already packed the entire Pokémon Dome, enthusiastically waiting for this high-level duel that was no less intense than the main tournament.
Under the expectant gaze of the audience, Hu Tao and Lance soon appeared on the big screen.
With Hu Tao's opening remarks as the starting point, the cruel struggle of the last round of the group stage officially began!
Only today's winners would be qualified to enter the top eight of the Master Tournament, gaining international points while displaying their names to the world.
"Go Teacher Yu, can you give us another 3:0 to show your strength!"
"I don't care about the outcome of the match anymore, I'm just curious about what kind of trump cards Teacher Yu's opponent can force out of him..."
"No way, Teacher Yu has too many cards, we still don't know what other Pokémon he has prepared!"
"Come on, hold on a little longer, Psychic guy, get some more stuff out for our Paldea strategy group, I'll count it as one-third of your credit after I pass the Champion assessment!"
The audience was completely immersed in the carnival, especially Xiang Qingyu's fans.
And soon, the two contestants walked out of their respective contestant tunnels and stood in front of the battle field.
"In the previous group rounds, Xiang Qingyu and Will both presented quite wonderful battles to the audience. Who can go further and be the first to break into the knockout stage depends on the outcome of today's match!"
As usual, Hu Tao continued to output.
As for more professional judgments, they were left to Lance, who had temporarily formed a partner with her.
"Currently, it's not clear what Pokémon Xiang Qingyu will send out, but he will probably choose between Lucario and Sylveon, right?"
"As for Will, he is a very traditional trainer, and the Pokémon he has shown so far are all centered on the Psychic attribute, which is slightly at a disadvantage when facing Xiang Qingyu."
"Of course, if he can find a way to make up for this, perhaps Will's chances of winning will increase significantly."
Lance analyzed a few sentences simply.
Honestly, before the battle started, he was actually already leaning towards Xiang Qingyu winning.
After all, the combat power Xiang Qingyu had shown so far was a bit too ridiculous, not at all like a newcomer playing in an international tournament for the first time...
However, as his trump cards were gradually exposed, Xiang Qingyu's advantage was actually gradually weakening.
At the very least, how to deal with his Lucario and Sylveon had undoubtedly become a topic that every advancing contestant must consider.
So, what would you do in this situation, Xiang Qingyu...
After entering the knockout stage, it is not an easy task to continue to crush opponents when being deliberately targeted.
It's even possible to flip the car, you know?
A smile soon appeared on Lance's originally stern face.
As a trainer who knew Xiang Qingyu relatively early, he had always trusted his judgment—
Xiang Qingyu was born to be a trainer, and his future growth rate might exceed everyone's imagination, and he wouldn't be surprised if he even became an Elite Four member or a Champion. ===== CHAPTER 691 =====
