It all starts with helping Pokémon

Chapter 194 Lillie wants to defeat Hoshino, and encounters a strong enemy in the quarterfinals

At the end of the game, Hoshino left from the player passage, released Xinye Miao and others, and asked with a smile, "How do you feel?"

"Meow~"

Xin Ye Miao shook his head, feeling that it was just average, it had no chance to use its calamity power, and the tropical dragon's bananas were not tasty.

Geng Gui and Pope Dolphin felt the same way, especially the latter, who was so proud that he almost went up to the sky, and then got slapped.

"I know it's easy to get lost in a winning streak, but don't be too complacent. Some trainers in the same group are still very strong, and there are seniors in other groups, especially Xiaoguang... She is a newcomer led by Sister Bai Cai, and her strength must not be tolerated. Look down, let’s go to the game later.”

Hoshino was still relatively cautious, so he was always serious during the battle. If he lost carelessly... he would lose face.

He was holding Xin Ye Miao, and when he was about to go to the auditorium with Pokémon to watch the next game, he suddenly saw Qi Shu refreshed with his mobile phone Rotom, waving his hands and shouting over there.

"Here, here~"

"..."

Hoshino walked over, and found that both Pipa and Poppy were running over from the auditorium, so he asked suspiciously, "What are you doing?"

"Interviewing you, you can't let others take the lead!" Qi Shu raised the microphone and shouted with a smile: "Hurry up, tell me some thoughts."

"..."

Pipa ignored her, gave a thumbs up and said: "I heard a lot of audience discussing you, the battle ended in 2 minutes, it's amazing!"

Hearing this, Popi shook her head and said: "I can only say that it is so-so. The evaluation is not as good as mine, but as a newcomer, it is also very good. It is worthy of praise. I will give you a little red flower!"

Seeing the two people ignoring him, Qi Shu became impatient and looked back, fearing that other interviewers would run over, and then shouted: "Don't jump in line, the interview is mine!"

"Wow, sister Magneto is blowing up!"

"..."

Seeing them quarreling, Hoshino smiled, and then left from the side, let's watch the game first, I don't want to miss some wonderful matches.

At the same time, Lillie also ran over from the auditorium, watching Hoshino walking towards this side alone, a smile appeared on her face inadvertently.

But just as he straightened his skirt, and just as he was about to walk over, there was a figure at the side, waving his hands and running over.

"Hey! Hoshino!"

"Ok?"

Hearing the voice, Hoshino looked up, unexpectedly, it was Xiaoguang, whom Shenhe Zhenhou had never seen before, who was wearing a black miniskirt with a pink skirt today, and more legs were exposed.

"What are you doing?"

"Looking for you to play, let's go to the game together."

Xiaoguang made an invitation. She also saw the opponent's battle just now in the audience. She seemed to understand why Sister Zhulan admired each other so much, but she was still a little unconvinced.

Especially during the qualifiers some time ago, the Sinnoh trainers were bullied like that by the Alola trainers. As a member of Sinnoh, she must show it, such as studying her strength!

Facing the invitation, Hoshino did not refuse. He hadn't seen Xiaoguang's strength yet, and the opponent seemed to be able to advance to the qualifiers very easily.

But it must be hiding something. This is a rookie in the league champion belt, and his strength must not be underestimated, so I want to know more about it.

"That's fine."

"Well, let's go."

Seeing Hoshino leaving with Xiaoguang, Qishu immediately stopped fighting with Poppy, and chased after Rotom with his mobile phone, and Paipa and the others immediately followed.

After they all left, Lillia walked out of the stairs again, but the smile on her face before had completely disappeared at this moment.

She subconsciously pinched the corner of her skirt, lowered her head and stayed there for a while, finally showed a wry smile, turned and left calmly, and returned to the auditorium.

Seeing her come back, Mei Yue noticed her expression, frowned slightly, and asked, "Did you go out to find him just now? What's the matter?"

"nothing……"

Liliai sat next to her, took off her hat and put it on her lap, but her eyes suddenly became firm, looking at the battles of other trainers below.

She said in a serious tone: "I don't think I should think about these things anymore. Pokémon battles are more interesting. This is what I should do!"

"???"

Meiyue directly asked a few question marks, what happened, did she suddenly wake up?
"Hey, how are you..."

Before she could finish speaking, Lilia showed a melancholy expression again, and asked in a low voice, "Do you think I have a chance to defeat Hoshino? I used to train with him, and he never let me win once, although I didn't lose either." But, it’s all up to the point…”

Meiyue put her hands on her shoulders, smiled and encouraged: "There is nothing impossible, as long as you want to do it, you can do it, but why is it defeated instead of defeated?"

"I feel like this word is better used now!"

Liliai responded in a serious tone, she has already decided to mature from now on, abandon those childish ideas, seriously do what she wants to do, and become an excellent trainer!

She can't continue to be affectionate anymore. She liked Hoshino in the past, but now the relationship has faded. If this continues, it will only increase troubles. It's better to give up all of them. Anyway, the other party doesn't know.

But one thing will not change, in fact, she has always regarded Hoshino as the object of admiration, that is, the goal after becoming a trainer, since it is the goal, then try to surpass it... Well, that's it!

Seeing Lillie's appearance as if she had been hit too hard, and her personality became abnormal, Mizuki's smile on the side gradually faded away, and she began to think while worrying.

"What the hell did Hoshino do..."

Soon the first day of competition ended, the winners were happy, and the eliminated players either went home or stayed to watch the competition.

At dusk, outside the arena, Xiaoguang waved his hands and shouted: "Tomorrow I will compete, you must come and watch! By the way, help me analyze the strength of the other players in my group~"

"Ah."

Hoshino responded with a wave of his hand, and then went to eat with Paipa and the others. At the same time, his complexion gradually became serious, and he murmured softly, "This is a bit strong..."

While watching the game, he found out from Xiaoguang that the opponent already had seven badges from the Sinnoh area, but he didn't have the one in his hand, and it wasn't that he couldn't beat it, but that he was always out of time.

"I only have two of Padia..."

In response to this, Hoshino felt that his hips were stretched instantly. The number of badges is valuable. After all, the gym trainer will arrange the battle team according to the number of badges of the challenger.

To be able to obtain 7 pieces, the strength is no longer a rookie, and the trainer level is limited simply because he has not graduated. Only in the Padia region because of the relationship with the academy, he does not need to pay too much attention to this rule.

In this world, the trainer level is more like a degree or a degree. At the beginning, it is like a high school student or a college student, and then it is a doctorate.

But you can finish college stuff in high school, but there is a rule that you have to finish high school for three years before you can enter a higher school, which is almost what it means.

So there must be some trainers with the strength of Xiaoguang, and there are even Nemo who come down to fry fish...

Today in Group A alone, Hoshino saw Xiaoyou and Hepu, who he was more concerned about. The latter performed pretty well, but the former only used a Flame Ace to easily pass through three, and his performance was even better than him!

"After all, I have only been in this world for less than two years. I can't compare with those who have been trainers for five or six years. It all depends on cheating..."

Hoshino was not shocked by the strength of these people, but looked forward to it very much, and there is a person here who has a shorter time than him.

But then again, the day when the Youth Cup ended happened to be the second anniversary of his coming to this world. This is an annual commemorative event, but this year he will definitely not be able to go back to the Master Room.

"Sure enough, we have to prepare in advance. This matter must not be forgotten! We must not forget Missy like last year..."

Hoshino recalled Lillie's reaction last year when she learned that she was not at the banquet, and felt that he regarded her as an outsider, and began to try to prove that she was also a member of the master house, and he wanted to laugh.

"Forget it, call her when the time comes, if you can win the Youth Cup that day, then you can celebrate two things together..."

In the next few days, when there is no game, Hoshino and Xiaoguang will go to watch the game together, and Qishu and Paipa will also follow. After going back and forth, everyone knows each other, and Xiaoguang is very happy to be interviewed by Qishu. She was almost overjoyed.

Except for the occasional strange sight from somewhere in the auditorium, basically everything is normal.

After several days of elimination, the 8 contestants in each group have been decided. Hoshino did not meet other seeded contestants, such as Xiaoyou. Maybe someone secretly manipulated it, so they should not be allowed to meet.

After entering the top 32, the groups were disrupted again, leaving only two groups AB, and the trainers who won each group will go to the finals!

So every player is very concerned about which side he is assigned to and who his next opponent will be, and the same is true for Hoshino...

"It's Group A again..."

He quickly saw his name, but fortunately, Group A did not see Nemo's name.

The senior sister is indeed pretending... Refers to the strength, Hoshino watched her duel, and she fought back and forth against everyone, so that her performance was completely overshadowed by others, and her sense of presence was greatly reduced.

She just came here to find someone to fight, and played by the way, unless she really met the opponent she wanted to fight, otherwise she would not reveal her strength prematurely.

And as a champion, it's really not good to say that it's bullying a newcomer. I didn't play a crushing game. I guess there are considerations in this aspect. After the senior sister went to Alola, she really changed a lot.

After reading all the groups, Mizuki, Lillie, and Nemo are all in Group B, while Xiaoguang is on Hoshino's side, and even Xiaoyou and Hepu are also there.

"Both sides have allocated seed players reasonably, and it depends on who will meet who first."

Hoshino doesn't dislike the arrangement of the competition, and everyone knows this kind of thing well. It's not interesting to let the seeded players meet in advance.

However, in this grouping, he was a little worried about Lilia's arrival. He originally wanted to meet her opponent in the competition, but now if his side advances to the finals, then there is a high probability that the opponent will be the senior.

"No matter what, go for it!"

After confirming the grouping, the opponents came out very quickly. Hoshino was the first match, and the opponent didn't know him. It seemed to be a player from the Chengdu area.

With such a good opening, he and Xinye Miao also took it seriously, and continued their brilliant performance of zero seals to enliven the atmosphere for the top 32 competition.

In a few days, the difficulty of the round of [-] will be raised by one level from now on. Hoshino's first encounter with a seeded player is a trainer from the Carlos area.

The opponent used the MEGA evolution for the first time in this Youth Cup. The MEGA Gyarados easily defeated the Pope dolphin, and even almost hit autism.

Fortunately, the opponent's evil-type debuff was completely suppressed by Xinye Meow's bad cat talent. In the end, Maomao and Hoshino cooperated to achieve a shocking reversal, and then stepped on his head to defeat him. People, even Chi Hong were stunned for a moment.

But despite being shocked, Qi Shu was very happy. She has the exclusive interview rights of Hoshino and Xiao Guang. The better the performance of these two, the happier she will be.

But Hoshino's performance made other players list him as the number one focus, especially Xiaoguang and the others in the same group. Pogaman was even afraid for a while, and did not completely offend that silly cat.

At the same time, in the other group of contestants, while preparing for the next competition, Liliai also went to watch the competition live, her expression was full of disbelief: "Is Xin Yemiao so strong..."

Nemo, who purposely sat beside her, said with a smile, "Are you scared? You can't be like this. You should be happy. Keep your mind steady. Maybe he has someone stronger? The essence of a battle is to challenge the strong!"

"Yeah, and the motorcycle lizard..."

Only then did Lilia realize that the motorcycle lizard is Hoshino's representative Pokémon, and Xinyemenow is more of a pendant, and Suo Cailing seems to have never seen it from the beginning to the end, so it can't be hidden, right?
"I feel overwhelmed..."

Hearing the muttering, Nemo turned sideways and asked seriously, "Do you want to fight him?"

"right……"

Lilia responded softly, but now she has no confidence, and cannot be divided into groups unless they can all fight until the last match.

But there is still a senior in this group, and she can only take out two. Although the roaring tail is very strong, Ibrahimovic suffered a big loss when he used it to make up the numbers.

Seeing her response, Nemo's tone became a little excited. He put his hands on her shoulders, looked her in the eyes and shouted, "Obviously I am your strong opponent! If you want to fight, you have to fight me first!"

The voice was very loud, which scared some of the audience around, but Liliai responded softly: "A strong enemy and a target are different! A strong enemy is someone who grows up together, and a target is what I want to chase after!"

"yes……"

Nemo let go of her hand, tilted her head and began to seriously think about the meaning of these words. She has never had any goals, and all she thinks about is Pokémon battles every day. Only in this way can she be happier.

It is also because of this habit and casual personality that she has had no friends for so many years, until everyone in Alola went to the school, and then she was responsible for the reception...

After thinking for a while, Nemo showed her original smile, and then said, "That means the two don't conflict, then I know!"

"Ok?"

Seeing the gentle smile on the senior sister's face, Lilia tilted her head, a little puzzled...

Soon the round of [-] came to an end, and many seeded players were eliminated, but there were also "upset" players like Nemo who successfully advanced, attracting attention.

Li Liai struggled to advance, but fortunately, Roaring Tail is really able to resist, the senior sister has not taught in vain for several months, so they have developed the ability of Roaring Tail together.

It's a pity that in the quarter-finals, Mizuki and Nemo ran into each other. There were only four people left in each group. It was no surprise to meet anyone, so Lillie played against another trainer from the Kanto area.

The other set of situations is quite interesting. The first game is Hoshino vs. Xiaoyou. If there is no big comeback in the round of [-], then the latter's performance in the game is basically overwhelming the former.

Looking at the schedule, Hoshino said calmly, "I thought Xiaoyou would fight with Xiaoguang. Isn't it more interesting to see women fighting, but I still bumped into them, but this is not bad..."
