Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

Chapter 901, Reactions from all parties

Huhu——

Dragonite's seemingly small wings contain enormous power; when they flap rapidly, a powerful gust of wind howls out.

The wind howled in my ears, as if the angry heavens were roaring. This gale whipped up the dust on the ground, forming small dust storms that rushed toward the Exeggutor trees.

Just as the Exeggutor was casting its hypnotic spell, a sudden gust of wind blew it away, causing it to lose its balance instantly. It swayed its massive body, struggling to regain its footing, but ultimately it was too weak and with a loud "thud," it fell headfirst to the ground.

At the same time, the hypnotic light flashing in the Exeggutor's eyes disappeared, and its blue eyes gradually went out.

Just then, Yu Hai's eyes sharpened, and he immediately shouted, "Dragonite, Ice Beam..."

"Roar!" Dragonite immediately opened its bright eyes, which were filled with determination and trust. It looked up at the fallen Exeggutor and opened its mouth without hesitation. A bright blue freezing ray shot out like a white aurora.

Wherever the freezing light touched, the air seemed to freeze, and wisps of white cold air spread out. The light swept precisely onto the bulky Exeggutor tree, instantly encasing it in a thick block of ice.

The ice cubes are crystal clear, and you can clearly see the stiff expression on the Exeggutor tree. They also exude a bone-chilling cold that sends shivers down your spine.

"Exeggutor, use Psychic to break the ice..." The young trainer shouted Exeggutor's name anxiously, hoping that Exeggutor could turn the tide.

"Na na, na na..." The three heads of the Exeggutor simultaneously let out a low roar, their voices carrying a hint of pain and struggle.

Immediately afterwards, a powerful wave of psychic energy erupted from the three heads. The visible psychic energy, like a tangible wave, spread outwards. This wave of psychic energy struck the ice encasing the body, making a "crack" sound.

slam-la-

Under the powerful mental impact, cracks appeared in the ice blocks of the frozen coconut tree, and then with a "crash," the ice blocks shattered, scattering ice shards all over the ground.

However, before the Exeggutor could catch its breath, a destructive beam of light, like a white pillar, hurtled towards it. Wherever the beam passed, the air seemed to be torn apart, making a hissing sound.

At this moment, the Exeggutor was trembling uncontrollably. The chill from being frozen had penetrated deep into its bones, and its body was still stiff, unable to react in any time.

Under the powerful impact of the destructive ray, the Exeggutor was like a cannonball being launched into the air, crashing straight into the energy barrier with a loud "bang," causing the entire battlefield to tremble.

As the destructive ray gradually faded, Exeggutor slowly slid off the energy barrier and crashed heavily to the ground. Its three heads drooped limply, its eyes turning into mosquito coil-like bulges, making it look utterly pathetic and defeated.

The referee, clutching the small flag tightly, saw Exeggutor's condition and decisively lowered it, announcing the result in a loud and clear voice: "Exeggutor is unable to fight. The winner of this group stage match is Yu Hai, who earns three points..."

The referee's voice echoed across the arena, signaling the end of this intense match.

"Whoosh whoosh-"

As the referee announced the end of the match, cheers from the stadium surged like a tidal wave, spreading outwards.

"We won! Kuailong has successfully achieved a three-in-a-row victory! Congratulations to Yu Hai for winning this group stage match! This match is worth three points, and Yu Hai has a total of six points, successfully advancing to the knockout stage!"

"The knockout stage will be held at the main venue in three days. We believe that Yu Hai will bring us even more exciting matches in the subsequent events..." The host's excited voice cracked, and the broadcast clearly reached every corner.

"Ukai, Ukai, Ukai!"

"Dragonite, Dragonite, Dragonite!"

The shouts from the audience were deafening, all for Yu Hai and Kuai Long, and the cheers even reached the streets outside the arena.

With a smile, Yu Hai raised his hand to respond to the enthusiastic audience, and used a Poké Ball to recall the Dragonite, which was in a frozen state.

This exhilarating three-way battle truly showcased the strength of pseudo-legendary Pokémon. On this field, pseudo-legendary Pokémon were simply outclassing ordinary Pokémon, completely dominating and beating up the opponent's three Pokémon throughout the entire match.

The ordinary Pokémon Poliwrath can fiercely battle and even defeat pseudo-legendary Pokémon, demonstrating its immense popularity. He was named after Poliwrath. Looking at the roaring crowd, he was filled with emotion. From the audience's frenzied enthusiasm, he deeply felt their fervent adoration for pseudo-legendary Dragon-type Pokémon and understood just how popular Dragon-type Pokémon are.

"Dragonite, not bad, right?" Yu Hai smiled and waved to the enthusiastic audience as he slowly walked towards the player tunnel.

The soft lighting and quiet atmosphere in the passageway contrasted sharply with the hustle and bustle of the arena. He looked down at the Poké Ball in his hand and asked Dragonite in a low voice.

"Awoo!" Dragonite roared excitedly, the sound coming through the Poké Ball.

At first, it was not quite used to the atmosphere of the arena, but as the battles progressed, it seemed to gradually become immersed in the lively feeling.

The overwhelming cheers and the noisy, passionate shouts were all cheering for itself. It could clearly feel that every effort it put in on the field was being seen by everyone.

Looking back, it had been troubled by the need to participate in battles. It had also talked to its companions, such as Umbreon, who had participated in battles. At that time, it was puzzled and did not understand why everyone was so excited and happy just because they could participate in battles.

Now, it finally understands completely that when it defeats its opponent on the field, all eyes are on it, all the spotlights are shining on it, and everyone's attention is focused on it.

At that moment, it became the focus of everyone's attention, and who wouldn't enjoy the thrill of being the center of attention?

……

Meanwhile, in the players' lounge, television screens flickered with light, broadcasting the intense live competition.

"We won! Brother Hai won! Two wins in a row!" Xiao Zhi, who had been nervously clenching his fists, suddenly jumped up from the sofa, his eyes wide open, his face flushed with excitement, and shouted at the top of his lungs.

"Ash, don't be too happy yet." Misty frowned, crossed her arms, and looked at Ash with a helpless expression.

"He has advanced to the knockout stage, and you may run into him next. You can't beat him." Xiaoxia really didn't understand what this idiot was so happy about. He won the game against such a strong opponent. Shouldn't a normal person be worried about the next game?

"Hehe." Xiao Zhi scratched his head, awkwardly touched his nose, and with a defiant glint in his eyes, shouted, "I won't lose! I'll definitely beat Brother Hai..."

He has always enjoyed challenging himself since he was a child, and he actually had a little expectation of being able to compete with powerful trainers, without any worries.

"Ash, you have one more match to play! Come and find out who your opponent is!" Brock stood on the balcony, one hand covering his forehead to shield his eyes from the glaring sunlight, and shouted loudly at Ash, his eyes filled with anxiety.

In his view, Ash's own group stage matches are far more important than watching others' matches; if he loses in the group stage, he will never be able to become their opponent.

Meanwhile, other players scattered across different venues also witnessed Yu Hai's matches to varying degrees during this group stage.

Xiao Mao sat in a quiet coffee shop, his eyes fixed on the screen. On the screen, Yu Hai's Dragonite was dominating the field, ultimately achieving two consecutive victories and successfully securing six points in the group stage to advance to the knockout stage.

His gaze gradually became serious, and he subconsciously tightened his grip on the coffee cup, then slowly loosened it after a moment.

All of this was within his expectations. In his mind, it would have been surprising if that guy hadn't advanced and had instead been eliminated in the group stage.

With Yu Hai's strength, if his opponent wants to advance, there is no way he will fall before the knockout stage, and he may even win the championship. He knows Yu Hai's strength very well.

Then, he frowned slightly and turned his gaze to another screen, which was showing Xiao Shun's battle. Xiao Shun's Pokémon was launching a fierce attack, and his opponent was gradually finding it difficult to defend. Xiao Shun was about to score six points and advance to the knockout stage.

He then turned his attention to the third screen, where Xiao Ai was also overwhelming her opponent with a powerful performance. The match was one-sided, and Xiao Ai's advancement to the knockout stage was a foregone conclusion.

This tournament is truly full of hidden talents, with many powerful trainers emerging. Trainers like Ye Yue, Du She, and even that silly trainer Xiao Zhi will most likely advance to the elimination rounds.

Thinking of this, Xiao Mao's eyes became even more determined. He clenched his fists. So many powerful trainers were about to advance, how could he fall in the group stage? He would also advance to the knockout stage with a score of six!
