Chapter 710

"Since you've said so, I can only work harder and strive to take this championship trophy."

"Let's not talk about this; opening champagne before the match is not advisable, let's watch the match first."

After Xiang Qingyu spoke, Champion Zhulan and Caitlin smiled tacitly, and the previous topic was interrupted.

"Whether it's Miss Sabrina or Miss Olympia, their use of psychic power is very skilled, and their level as trainers is also very excellent..."

Watching the big screen above, Caitlin suddenly spoke in a low voice.

As a fellow psychic, Caitlin used to feel that her talent was too powerful, which often caused her psychic power to lose control and run wild, until now she could barely control it.

But after stepping onto the stage of the Psychic Master Tournament, she quickly realized what is called "there is always someone better."

As a veteran Gym Leader, Miss Olympia exudes a considerable concentration of psychic power in every move, and it is even said that she has the "Future Sight" ability to accurately peek into the future of others; this point alone is already very outrageous, and almost no psychic can do it.

As for her opponent this time... Caitlin can only describe it in three words:

There is a monster!

It is hard to imagine that a "normal human female" who is only a little older than herself has terrifying psychic power hidden in her body that is countless times stronger than Alakazam.

And Miss Sabrina's use of psychic power is also the most varied she has seen so far.

Of course, it is actually very reasonable; how could a normal person have so much psychic power to study these...

Therefore, for the title of "Human Pokémon" given to Sabrina in the Kanto region, Caitlin even feels it is not appropriate enough.

She could totally be called a "Human Legendary Pokémon"!

And Xiang Qingyu's view is generally the same as what Caitlin thought in her heart.

"It should be Sabrina..."

After thinking for a while, Xiang Qingyu gave the answer.

Of course, his judgment is definitely not subjectively favoring a friendly player, but is well-founded.

"Miss Olympia is a very excellent trainer, but it seems a bit too pure... So far, the Pokémon she has used all have the Psychic attribute, and even the team composition seems to have no changes."

Xiang Qingyu has actually studied the possible opponents in the top eight a little bit, so he knows a little about the lineups they have already used.

Among them, Olympia is clearly the easiest to understand.

Sigilyph, Slowking, Meowstic.

From beginning to end, she only used these three Pokémon, relying entirely on hard strength and the powerful prediction ability that seems to come from "Future Sight" to enter the top four.

I have to admit, she is indeed very strong, but Sabrina is not such an easy opponent to deal with.

Thinking of this, Xiang Qingyu suddenly realized and subconsciously looked at Caitlin.

"Speaking of which, why didn't you use psychic power to predict the future like Olympia in yesterday's match? It seems this is a legal operation, right?"

For the confusion that suddenly arose in Xiang Qingyu, Caitlin just rolled her eyes silently.

"Do you think Future Sight is a move that can be used casually? Even if a Pokémon uses it, it can only be used to read the opponent's movement at a certain moment, okay!"

"If it were really as outrageous as you think, wouldn't psychics have been invincible long ago..."

After speaking, she curled her lips and continued.

"However, it seems Miss Olympia can indeed do this. Could it be that I am really not powerful enough?"

Caitlin, fell into chaos!

"Sabrina also knows this point, and she also has her own insights into Future Sight."

Xiang Qingyu took over the topic.

Speaking of this, he suddenly recalled that Sabrina "not doing her job" and going to the Dream Factory to be an actress in Black/White seems to be because she predicted that she would do so in the future, so she set off for Unova.

And in the Unova World Tournament, she also mentioned that she predicted a few years ago that she would meet the protagonist on the field...

You psychics are really more outrageous than the other!

His gaze glanced silently at Caitlin beside him, and he shook his head helplessly.

As fellow psychics, there are indeed differences in levels.

Look at how powerful they are one by one, how come when it gets to Caitlin, there are only negative impressions like psychic power running wild every day and terrifying destructive power?

"Hey! What kind of look is that!"

Caitlin instantly exploded and started to reason with Xiang Qingyu.

She can say she is bad, and even Champion Zhulan can, but Xiang Qingyu alone cannot!

To this, Champion Zhulan, who was sandwiched between the two, showed a smile and quietly appreciated their expressions.

Although I don't know why, the relationship between them seems to have finally broken the ice after a battle, but even Caitlin has become more frank, which is a good thing after all, right?

Under Hu Tao's hosting, the match started quickly.

Neither side's starting Pokémon had any unconventional choices; Sabrina had Wobbuffet, while Olympia chose Sigilyph.

"There is a very obvious problem in Olympia's team..."

At the start, Xiang Qingyu gave the reason why he thought Sabrina had the advantage.

"None of her three Pokémon have the ability to Taunt, so they don't have any good ways to deal with Wobbuffet."

"Even if Wobbuffet can't interfere with the opponent's strengthening, Destiny Bond will definitely be able to achieve a one-for-one trade."

"This is the most terrifying thing about Wobbuffet; even though you know it will use this move, it's just hard to defend against..."

Xiang Qingyu shook his head silently.

He could think of many ways to break Wobbuffet, but for Olympia, it seems she can only take this loss.

However...

Soon Olympia gave her own unique solution, which really surprised Xiang Qingyu.

"Holy crap, Gravity Hypnosis?"

Seeing this move, Xiang Qingyu was stunned.

After Wobbuffet was stuck in place and Sigilyph completed strengthening by relying on Calm Mind, Olympia used two skills to hit a combo.

Gravity and Hypnosis.

The effect of Gravity is very simple: directly generate strong gravity on the field with psychic power, forcing all floating Pokémon to land.

At the same time, it also has a somewhat weird additional effect.

Due to the influence of gravity, the ability of Pokémon to dodge moves will be greatly weakened, thereby variably increasing the hit rate of moves.

With this premise, theoretically Sigilyph's Hypnosis is a guaranteed hit.

"So it was using this simple method to avoid Destiny Bond?"

Xiang Qingyu couldn't help but sigh.

The effect of Destiny Bond is very short; if put to sleep, one can totally wait until the move expires before dealing with the opponent.

Although two move slots were wasted, being able to achieve the effect is the most effective tactic.

However...

Soon Xiang Qingyu was taught a lesson about what is the game between psychics.

When Olympia thought she was safe and instructed Sigilyph to use Dark Pulse to finish off the opponent, Sabrina suddenly smiled.

I saw Wobbuffet, which had almost fallen into a deep sleep, suddenly wake up, spit out a fruit pit from its mouth, and immediately recover its spirit.

At the same time, its body surface immediately shone with blue light.

"That is... Mirror Coat?"

Caitlin reacted immediately, showing an expression of disbelief.

"So Sabrina prepared a Lum Berry for Wobbuffet from the beginning? She must have known in advance that Miss Olympia would use Hypnosis!"

"That's right, both sides are powerful psychics who can predict the future, so the game between the two sides is bound to be very exciting."

Champion Zhulan didn't seem surprised by this.

"Now it seems that Sabrina is the one who saw the final step."

The Dark Pulse that had already been fired was of course hard to take back; as Wobbuffet sucked the powerful energy into its body and reflected it back with double the terrifying power, Sigilyph collapsed directly.

"Tsk... psychics really have dirty hearts."

Xiang Qingyu couldn't help but click his tongue.

"Then guess who Sabrina learned her tactics from? Do you have the right to say that!"

Caitlin immediately retorted, leaving Xiang Qingyu speechless, and he could only pull the topic back to the exciting battle below.

"However, since the influence of Gravity is still there, Wobbuffet shouldn't be able to defend against the next Hypnosis."

"Sure enough, Sabrina chose to switch out Wobbuffet; the one sent to the field should be... that's right, it's that Gengar that probably still has Mega Evolution hidden!"

Seeing the familiar purple fatty, Xiang Qingyu's eyes were quickly filled with gratification.

Among all Ghost-type Pokémon, Gengar should be considered the cutest and most popular little guy.

Cute and powerful, how can there be such a perfect Pokémon as Gengar!

As Olympia also sent out her second Pokémon, Slowking, under Xiang Qingyu's gaze, Sabrina quickly revealed a confident smile and silently reached her hand toward her collar.

A necklace embedded with a special gem was held in her hand.

"It really is Mega Evolution..."

Champion Zhulan sighed, and also glanced at Xiang Qingyu silently.

Alakazam is clearly the trump card Pokémon Sabrina has used the longest, but the moment she saw Sabrina reveal Gengar, Xiang Qingyu immediately determined that she would choose Gengar as her Mega Evolution user.

Should I say his perception is too sharp, or is his understanding of Mega Evolution already too advanced?

Mega Gengar's debut also really surprised many audience members.

Many people were seeing this new form of Gengar, which transformed into a mobile turret and looked very impactful, for the first time, so naturally they didn't notice...

From the moment it entered the field, the shadow behind Mega Gengar had quietly spread throughout the entire arena, completely swallowing the opponent's shadow.

"Even if the attributes restrain each other, the firepower of Mega Gengar and Slowking is not on the same level, not to mention that Gengar's speed is also outrageously fast."

Xiang Qingyu shook his head helplessly.

From the moment Mega Gengar entered the field, the outcome was already determined.

Even if Slowking and Meowstic could grind away the stamina of this Gengar, they would have almost no ability to resist the Alakazam that would finish the job next.

Even if Miss Olympia could predict the future, she really had no way to deal with the unbreakable Mega Gengar.

And after all, why would a Gym Leader from the Kalos region not have a Pokémon that can Mega Evolve...

If she had a Mega Alakazam, she would have had a fight with Gengar!

The fact was just as Xiang Qingyu expected.

Mega Gengar's terrifying firepower quickly pierced through Slowking's defense, and even though it consumed a lot of its own stamina, it was still full of fighting spirit when facing Meowstic, finally trading one-for-one with Meowstic.

At this point, the first ticket to the finals had already been secured by Sabrina.

Time quickly came to the afternoon.

Xiang Qingyu, who was originally in the spectator seat, had already arrived at the player passage, about to step onto the stage to complete the duel with Lucian.

And the winner between them would enter the final round of the Psychic Master Tournament to face Sabrina, who had won with almost a crushing posture.
