Chapter 125 Conquer Articuno!
Leaving the Quartz Plateau and heading to the Gemini Islands, Xia Mu used the power of the Zapdos to find and capture Articuno.

The three sacred birds gathered together and then returned to adapt to the plateau.

The round trip time plus the time spent searching and capturing the monster did not exceed ten hours.

Although Xia Mu returned to the Quartz Plateau very late, at least he returned without any accidents.

Because of his sudden disappearance, his family was extremely worried, especially Sonia, who thought something had happened to Xia Mu.

Xia Mu never thought that his departure would alarm the alliance’s top leaders. Yan Tie, as the alliance’s chief commander, had already spoken, but Xia Mu didn’t know where he went?

Fortunately, Xia Mu came back, which means no accidents happened.

It is inevitable that people are curious about where Xia Mu has gone, but since Xia Mu doesn’t say anything, no one will ask.

That night, Xia Mu and Sonia lived together again.

Although it is done secretly, the elders actually turn a blind eye to it.

The main reason was that Xia Mu suddenly disappeared, which almost caused Sonia to lose control. Now that Xia Mu is safe and sound, no one will disturb the couple’s relationship.

……

A night of love.

The next morning, Xia Mu and Sonia got up early.

There is no way. Today is the last day of the Quartz Conference. Although Xia Mu did everything he should do yesterday, he still needs to conduct inspections, and he also needs to be prepared.

Yesterday’s opponents were two quasi-king-level trainers arranged by Yan Tie.

It’s hard to imagine how strong today’s opponents will be.
There is still one round of preliminaries. Although there are only sixteen contestants left, Xia Mu still cannot be careless.

When we arrived at the Quartz Conference Arena, it was already packed with people.

After all, the top 16 matches since the fifth round have been held in a formal arena. Although it is still a three-on-three format, it will no longer be the same as before.

Of course, there are people who made it into the top 40, such as Satoshi and Hiro, but their strength is indeed very average. Even if they have Pokémon over level 40, at this level of strength, what’s the use of a Pokémon in the early s?

Without a level 50 Pokémon, it is considered weak.

To Xia Mu’s surprise, Xiao Mao was not eliminated like in the original story, but was shortlisted for the top 16.

Xia Mu was still the one to fight in the first official battle, which made him helpless.

Although he knew that Yan Tie did this so that all the audience would remember him, Xia Mu felt that this was too deliberate.

For some people who play power games, they would simply think that he is a trainer specially arranged by Yan Tie in order to ascend to the throne of champion.

Xia Mu’s opponent is still someone of the same age, and his strength is not inferior to those two people from yesterday, and he is definitely at the quasi-king level.

This also made Xia Mu realize that Yan Tie was just warming him up and preparing him to fight the Four Heavenly Kings, so even if there were some Heavenly King-level trainers in the league, they would not be sent out to fight him.

The opponent was proficient in water, and started with Gyarados, but was easily defeated by Natsuki’s Bulbasaur.

The second one was the Thorn Dragon King. It was really a coincidence. Xia Mu also used the Thorn Dragon King. Needless to say, the outcome was a complete crushing. After all, the gap between over level 70 and around level 60 was extremely large. What’s more, Xia Mu’s training method was to maximize the effort value and have the best individual value.

The third one is no longer a Pokémon from Kanto, but a Milotic from the Fengyuan region.

This is the Pokémon that Xia Mu has always wanted but never had the chance or time to capture.

Facing Milotic, Xia Mu sent out the poisonous jellyfish to fight. Without a doubt, it was a highly toxic battle!

There is a level gap of 7 levels. Under the condition of the same attributes, the suppression power is indeed not particularly great. Moreover, this Milotic is very powerful in all aspects of training, and it is definitely at the king level. However, it is difficult to win with the same attributes, but it is a different story if poison attacks are used.

After defeating this opponent, Xia Mu successfully advanced to the quarterfinals.

Then, we returned to the waiting area to watch the game.

Because it is no longer the preliminary round mode of the previous two days, and after the round of 16, the quarterfinals will begin.

As Xia Mu expected, after watching several games in a row, Xiaozhi was defeated by Ahong, but Xiao Mao advanced to the quarterfinals.

Therefore, the reason why Xiao Mao lost to Jimu in the original novel was actually because he was too arrogant.

After being defeated by Xia Mu, Xiao Mao also received Xia Mu’s guidance and had an obvious transformation. It can be seen that he must have practiced hard after Xia Mu left, so not only has the strength of his Pokémon greatly improved, but there are also no loopholes in the use of tactics and the combination of Pokémon.

In general, with the list of the top eight fully released, except for Xia Mu and Xiao Mao replacing Ji Mu and Gangzi from the original work, everyone else has not changed.

Next up is the quarterfinals, and Xia Mu’s pressure is greatly reduced.

He was the first to fight, and his opponent was Lily. Even though it was six against six, Xia Mu just used Charizard to fight against six, and did not give Lily any chance at all.

So cruel?

Xia Mu didn’t think so.

During the Sinnoh Tournament, Wall-hanging Darko defeated all opponents with just one Darkrai, but was defeated by Ash’s Lizardking, so he took out the second Latios.

He wanted to learn from Darko. Even though he had used a lot of Pokémon before, from now on, he must not take out a second Pokémon in a game.

Xia Mu advanced to the semi-finals, and Xiao Mao’s opponent was Ahong, who was extremely lucky.

In order to prove himself, Xiaomao defeated Ahong badly. After all, Ahong beat Xiaozhi, so Xiaomao felt that he was more powerful than Xiaozhi.

The results of the top four are out.

The morning competition has just ended, and there will be three matches in the afternoon to decide the champion, runner-up and third place.

This is the convention of the Quartz Conference and is also the competition system used by many conferences.

All contestants will be selected into the top three and then awards will be given.

In Xia Mu’s opinion, as long as Xiao Mao doesn’t let down this time, he will have no problem getting the second or third place.

As long as Xia Mu doesn’t compete with Xiao Mao, he should be able to win the runner-up spot. But if they do, Xiao Mao will have to compete with the loser for the third place.

Because the final competition was about to take place in the afternoon, the entire conference was pushed to its climax.

Before the semi-finals started in the afternoon, Yan Tie also appeared at the conference site. Naturally, the Four Heavenly Kings and a group of alliance leaders also arrived.

After announcing this year’s Quartz Conference, the league champion will have the opportunity to play against the king. As long as you defeat the king, you can become the king! Of course, you can also participate in the championship challenge. Defeat the four kings and you will be the regional champion of Kanto!

Such news is undoubtedly exciting, especially after the news conveyed in the past two days, everyone is looking forward to it.

Everyone knows that although there is a chance to challenge for the league championship, in fact, the league champion this time is definitely Xia Mu, but the game has not yet started, so no one can make a conclusion.
