Chapter 836: Chapter 713: Winning the Championship, Second Round_1
May 9th.
The second round of the championship tournament, the round of sixteen, officially began.
After a day of rest yesterday, the Hua Nation team was brimming with energy, arriving early at the Silver Arena.
Today's match between Hua Nation team and the Indian Team was the third match.
And the first match was between Mi Country First Team and Canada Team 1.
This match left China's Second Team feeling very frustrated because Canada was far too weak.
Fang Yuan had severely injured Gura, yet the Canadian Team still lost without a struggle, defeated 8:2 by Mi Country First Team, not even dragging the fight to the point of a challenge on the stage.
Out of the five Canadian players, only the champion won one match, with the remaining four losing.
"Too weak," remarked the Hua Nation team.
Even though Canada had scraped through, even their champion didn't possess the strength of a top second stage competitor, let alone the common kings. Their overall quality was completely crushed by the Mi Country team.
This time, Gura was the last to go up for Mi Country's team.
And his opponent was a Plant System King from the Canadian Team.
On facing Gura, the Plant System King's face first turned grim, then he felt he could fight.
Even though the opponent was strong and his own attribute was at a disadvantage, Gura's trump card had already been heavily damaged by Fang Yuan, so there shouldn't be a big problem.
The others also felt that the Canadian Plant System King had a good chance of winning… But in reality, Gura once again brought out his Volcarona.
"It seems the Mi Country team has also used non-standard medical methods to treat that Volcarona…"
On Hua Nation's side, everyone fell silent. Fang Yuan, however, wasn't very surprised; since he could find the Fire of Life to quickly treat his Monferno, it was normal for the opponents to find unconventional treatments too.
"However, that Volcarona's condition clearly isn't good, its physical strength seems to have greatly declined compared to before, probably due to injuries not having fully healed," assessed Su Shu after the first match ended.
Fang Yuan's battle had somewhat affected the Volcarona.
"No matter," Fang Yuan said unconcerned. A fully restored Volcarona might have been troublesome, but with its current state, both MEGA Geng Gui and Sun Eevee could easily win. More than the Mi Country team, Fang Yuan was more concerned about who his opponent would be today.
He hoped that the Self-detonating Magnetic Monster would be able to fight a satisfying battle.
......
The second match was between the Australian Country and Italy.
The Hua Nation team was not very interested in the outcome of this match.
Whether Australian Country won or Italy did, they would first have to fight the Mi Country team, and only after winning, would they face Hua Nation.
As the time for the third match drew closer, and half an hour after the second match ended, the tri-colored flag representing India and the Five-star Red Flag representing Hua Nation finally appeared on either side of the electronic screens inside the Silver Arena.
In between the flashing national flag patterns, the familiar "VS" letters still stood out!
Following that, below the national flags, the upper body photos of the players from both sides were displayed.
"The third match, Hua Nation team VS India Team!"
"The competitors, Jiang Li vs Eric!"
Astride the majestic Pidgeot, wearing a black referee uniform, Muye Liuji continued as the main referee, presiding over today's match.
"Hua Xia, victory!!"
"Jiang Li, victory!!"
"Hua Xia, victory!!"
"Jiang Li, victory!!"
As the players were confirmed, the Hua Nation spectator seats immediately erupted with thunderous cheering.
As the champion of the Hua Nation team, Jiang Li was very much anticipated.
His opponent was India's Rock King, who didn't look very pleased this moment.
Being the first to go up was indeed a lot of pressure, and carelessness could lead to facing the opponent's ace…
On the Indian competitor's side, the champion Nasaruddin and Superpower King Jalan and others all nodded their heads towards Eric, signaling to do his best. Although they didn't hold much hope for Eric, if he could wear out a few of Jiang Li's Pokemon, that would still be good…
In the presidential stand, Master Kong Hai of Hua Nation and Master Nasaruddin of India were already seated up above.
Master Ma Chenzong did not continue to take the stage this time, and it was Kong Hai who came. Kong Hai's chuckling look at the familiar person next to him showed that the representative from India was definitely him.
Nasaruddin, the Super Power King Jalan's master, a world top Superpower User, was also an old rival of Kong Hai.
Obviously, both men wanted to see their own country win and even more to see their disciples defeat the other's disciples.
The two of them didn't speak, but their opposing spiritual powers already startled Meloetta sitting beside them. Are these two really human or Psychic System Elves??
On the other side, Lady Lumisia's smile remained unchanged, while Antonio became introspective, mentioning that he too was a special ability user, just not as deeply involved in cultivation as Kong Hai and Nasaruddin. Kong Hai of Hua Nation and Nasaruddin of India were indeed two monsters above ordinary humans in the Trainer's world.
......
On the field, with Jiang Li's arrival, the eyes of the competitors from America, England, France, Japan, Russia, and other countries turned their attention his way.
Jiang Li was definitely one of the Trainers with the highest likelihood of entering the hall of fame in this World Championship, so the attention was high.
In the ensuing match, Jiang Li indeed demonstrated the extraordinary strength of a Trainer unlike any ordinary, maintaining his ease even in the second round of the championship tournament.
On the field, Jiang Li's Dream Demon faced off against Eric's Aggron, but as the match started, the Top Overlord Aggron found itself unable to move.
The face of the ferocious Top Overlord Aggron now showed fear, as if it had seen something horrifying.
