Elf: My three starters are the three gods of Hoenn

"A total of 512 players are participating in this Hoenn League Rainbow Tournament. They are divided into 128 groups of four, and each group will compete in a points battle. One point is awarded for a win, one point is deducted for a loss, and no points are awarded for a draw. After the two teams have played against each other, the player with the highest score wins and advances to the second round of the competition!"

"In other words, although everyone has collected all eight gym badges, in order to enter the second round of official battles, you must first stand out from the four-person teams!"

Trainers, I look forward to your performance!

As soon as Chairman Damaranchi finished speaking, the entire audience burst into applause!

At the same time, after the format of the first round of the competition was freshly released, the huge screen above the Hoenn Pokémon League's Rainbow Tournament lit up with the group chart!

Zhang Feng (number 117), Qiao Ke (number 500), Xiao Wu (number 307), and Sha Luo (number 465) were grouped together. It happened to be the seventh group battle, and they were assigned to the seventh match field!

Tomorrow's first match for Zhang Feng's group will be Zhang Feng versus Sha Luo!

Sand Snail, hailing from Dewford Town, is skilled in using Water-type Pokémon. Therefore, Zhang Feng has already decided on his partner for this one-on-one match!

The next day, before the competition began, Zhang Feng woke up in his luxury suite at the Pokémon Center and ran into Ash and Masamune, who were full of energy, as soon as he went downstairs!

"Ah, it's Zhang Feng. Are you going to a competition too?"

After hearing what Xiao Zhi said, Zhang Feng smiled and greeted everyone!

"Zhang Feng, you are very strong, but I will not easily admit defeat in this competition!"

Faced with Xiaozhi's greeting and Masamune's defiant words, Zhang Feng smiled and replied!

"Alright then, see you in the official match!"

Masamune and Satoshi originally wanted to watch Zhang Feng's match together, but since their match was also in the morning, they had to say goodbye to Zhang Feng and go to the battlefield to wait!

After exchanging pleasantries with Xiaozhi and the others, Zhang Feng arrived at Battle Arena No. 7, where the four members of the group stage had all arrived!

The preliminary rounds will not be held on the main venue, but will take place in eight smaller arenas surrounding the main venue!

Moreover, for the sake of efficiency, the group stage results must be completely determined within half a day!

At this rate, at least sixteen matches can be held every day, and the official list of 128 finalists can be determined in just seven to ten days!

In other words, this morning, the teams that are scheduled to compete will all have to play three battles!

As for the first match in Battlefield No. 7, it will be a battle between Zhang Feng and Sha Luo!

"Next, we will begin the preliminary rounds for the seventh group of matches in arena number seven. The first match will be between Zhang Feng from Weibai Town (number 117) and Shaluo from Wudu Town (number 465). Each player may use one Pokémon. Now, let the match begin!"

As Zhang Feng and Sha Luo arrived at their respective sides of the battlefield, the battle began!

"Go, Gem Starfish!"

"Please, Earth Platform Tortoise!"

"Ding-dong, the current attribute values ​​of the gem starfish are as follows:"

Pokémon: Starmie

Rating: 38

Characteristic: Light-emitting

Type: Water, Psychic

Qualification: Purple

Super Evolution: Not yet unlocked

Skills: Illusion Ray, Water Cannon, Psychic Power, Self-Regeneration, Hardening, Cosmic Power...

Seeing that this gem starfish was at the peak of the elite level, Zhang Feng naturally took out the Earth Tortoise, which had finally reached its final evolution!

"Gemstarium, use your Psychic Power!"

"Tutai turtle, crazy plant!"

Seeing that Zhang Feng immediately used the strongest Grass-type move, even though Starmie's eyes emitted blue light, it still caused some damage to Torterra!

However, since it relies on strong defense and looks for an opportunity to counterattack, Torterra easily blocked Starmie's attack!

Then, as countless thick thorns and vines emerged from the ground, they frantically lashed at the gem starfish!

Despite its formidable defense, the gem starfish could not withstand the relentless blows and lost its ability to fight!

"Ding-dong! Torterra has defeated Starmie, gaining 435 experience points and leveling up to level 40!"

"Ding-dong, the current attribute values ​​of the Earth-Based Turtle are as follows:"

Pokémon: Torterra

In the first match, Torterra made its appearance and won easily!

"Sand Cone's Starmie is unable to battle, Torterra wins, so the winner is Zhang Feng, his points increase by one, and Sand Cone's points decrease by one!"

After Zhang Feng and Sha Luo finished their battle, the next match was between Qiao Ke and Xiao Wu. The two of them were also shocked by Zhang Feng's formidable strength!

In the qualifiers, a shocking instant kill occurred!

It's quite obvious who will advance from this group!

However, the most important thing now is their battle, while Zhang Feng and Sha Luo have become bystanders!

Joe sent out a Magmar, while Xiao Wu sent out an Onix!

Thanks to its superior attributes, Xiao Wu ultimately won!

The next match will be between Zhang Feng and Xiao Wu!

"You're strong, but I won't lose to you either, please, Ironclad Tyrannosaurus!"

It seems that this Xiao Wu specializes in Rock-type Pokémon!

"Ding-dong, the current attribute values ​​of the Ironclad Tyrannosaurus are as follows:"

Elf: Ironclad Tyrannosaurus

Rating: 40

Features: Lightning rod

Attributes: Rock, Ground

Qualification: Purple

Super Evolution: Not yet unlocked

Skills: Horn Attack, Earthquake, Drill Rush, Rock Smash, Iron Tail, Stomp, Terrifying Face...

At the same time, Zhang Feng's Blaziken has successfully appeared on the battlefield!

"Looks like I'm in luck. My opponent is a Fire-type Pokémon. Rhyperior uses Rock Smash!"

As soon as Xiao Wu finished speaking, the Ironhide Raptor roared, and countless rocks fell from the sky, rushing straight towards Zhang Feng's Blaziken!

However, as the strongest and fastest-growing of the five starter Pokémon in Zhang Feng's possession, even the Ironhide Tyrannosaurus's superior attributes were of no use!

"Blazing Chicken, go! Use Sky Punch!"

After receiving Zhang Feng's order, Blaziken's eyes narrowed, and with a loud "Chamo!" it quickly charged towards Tyrannosaurus Rex!

Faced with the incoming rocks, Blaziken quickly dodged them thanks to its Speed ​​Boost ability and its superb agility and speed!

Then, a terrifying punch instantly slammed into the armored tyrannosaurus!

With one punch, the armored tyrannosaurus let out a wail and instantly collapsed to the ground, losing its ability to fight!

Again, sold out in seconds!

……

Chapter 116 Hakron Appears and Advances!

"Ding-dong! Blaziken defeated Tyrannosaurus Rex, gaining 481 experience points and leveling up to level 42!"

Hobbies: I like spicy food, and I enjoy battling and getting stronger.

After Zhang Feng once again swiftly defeated his opponent, the last remaining opponent—Qiao Ke—also underwent a dramatic change in expression!

I originally thought that Zhang Feng's Torterra could easily defeat Sand Snail's Starmie because it had an attribute advantage!

But now, Xiao Wu's Ironhide Raptor is a type counter to Zhang Feng's Blaziken!

The result was still a 100% sell-out!

Is this guy too powerful?

However, no matter who the opponent is, as a Pokémon Trainer, you should have the courage to fight!

After the battle between Sandra and Joe ended, Joe won!

With this, apart from Zhang Feng getting two points, Qiao Ke and Xiao Wu both have one win and one loss, leaving them with zero points. Sha Luo has lost two games in a row and has given up hope for this competition!

Soon, the third battle began!

"The battle between Zhang Feng from Littlewhite Town and Joe from Rainbow City will now begin. Each player may use one Pokémon. Let the battle begin!"

As soon as the referee finished speaking, Zhang Feng and Qiao Ke simultaneously took out a Poké Ball!

"Go, Diantha Sea Lion!"

This time, Joe sent out a level 40 Seadra, an Ice/Water type Pokémon!

The Pokémon that Zhang Feng took out was Dragonair!

With a soft hum, a mysterious Pokémon with a body as bright as a blue gemstone, a white antenna on its head, and two wings appeared!

If it's not the pseudo-legendary Hakuryu, then who else could it be?

"A Dragon-type Pokémon, huh? Now's your chance! Delicious, use Ice Beam!"

Dragon-type Pokémon are naturally doubly weak to Ice-type Pokémon!

However, for Zhang Feng, the advantages and disadvantages of attributes can be completely replaced by skills!

"Hakuron, use Rain Dance!"

As a result of its thick fat deposits, it has excellent resistance to certain moves, and its obese body also gives the Diantar Sea Lion more defense and stamina!
