Trainers returning from the Kingdom of Roc

Chapter 74: The Beginner's Final Round

[Kicked down].

Fighting-type skills, also known as "sweeping kicks," involve forcefully attacking the opponent's feet, causing them to lose their balance and fall to the ground, resulting in damage.

On the surface, it may seem like a very ordinary skill, but in reality, this skill has a particularly outrageous aspect: the heavier the opponent is, the greater the damage caused when they fall!

If it were kicked by another Pokémon of normal size, the damage would probably be less than a Quick Attack, but Snorlax is different. This glutton has been seriously overweight since birth.

And most importantly, the Snorlax in front of us is just a baby form; it's not strong enough to avoid being kicked down by Poliwag!

If it were a higher-level Snorlax, Poliwag's kick wouldn't have been able to move it. But unfortunately, there are no "ifs".

Snorlax tripped, its massive body instantly losing its balance and crashing heavily to the ground, even causing the floor to tremble.

"Mosquito Coil Frog, here's your finishing move: a bare-handed chop!"

Since the enemy has already fallen, you can no longer use [Kick], so to be more stable, Luo Yan chose to continue to finish off the enemy. He saw from the previous recording that Li Wenxiu's Snorlax could [Sleep] and [Snoring].

If you can't defeat your opponent quickly and give them a chance to sleep and recover health, then with Poliwag's current fighting strength, winning will be really not easy.

With a swift slap from Poliwag, Snorlax had no chance of getting up again and collapsed to the ground, unable to battle.

Li Wenxiu stood there stunned, and even after the referee raised his hand to announce the result of the battle, he still hadn't come to his senses.

Luo Yan walked up to him and slowly extended his hand. "You did well. If it weren't for the highly targeted move [Knockout], Poliwag wouldn't be a match for Snorlax."

Li Wenxiu's eyes flickered, and he raised his head slightly. He sighed, smiled, and took Luo Yan's hand. "A loss is a loss. It's because I'm not as skilled as my opponent and didn't prepare in advance."

The Politoed Frog's two large hands are too deceptive. Under such circumstances, it is difficult for anyone to notice its legs, let alone a skill like "Kick Down" which is very luck-based.

But as he said, a loss is a loss.

"Keep it up, Luo Yan," Li Wenxiu said with a smile. "If any of us could defeat that Mini Dragon, it would probably only be you."

Luo Yan nodded gently. "I will definitely do my best."

The two returned to the waiting area amidst cheers from the audience. With the quarterfinals over, Luo Yan still has a semifinal match to play this afternoon.

So Li Wenxiu didn't bother him too much. He chatted briefly, exchanged contact information, and then left, giving Luo Yan time to rest.

Luo Yan's team is fighting relatively fast. At this stage, apart from Shen Yanqiu, the other players are basically in a tense situation, and there are very few cases of the team being pushed back.

With the final quarter-final match concluded, the opponents for the upcoming semi-finals have been successfully matched.

What no one expected was that Luo Yan's next opponent would be Wang Kai.

This wouldn't normally be anything special, but the main point is that he just fought Li Wenxiu, and now he's going to fight Wang Kai. If he wins, his next opponent will be Shen Yanqiu.

"So I'm going to have to fight all three challengers..."

In the waiting area, Luo Yan looked at the matching screen on the big screen and muttered something to himself, not knowing whether to laugh or cry.

"Isn't this a good thing?" Shen Yanqiu stood beside him, smiling as she spoke. "As long as you beat them, even if you lose to me, no one will say you're bad."

Luo Yan raised an eyebrow. "What if I beat you too?"

Shen Yanqiu paused, a playful glint in her eyes as she looked at Luo Yan. "If you can beat me..."

"So what do you suggest?" Luo Yan pressed.

"Then you're really good~"

"cut."

Seeing Luo Yan's unexpected reaction, Shen Yanqiu laughed so hard she almost fell over. "What did you think? So what if I won? I can just win it back next time. What do you expect me to say?"

"I should at least treat you to a meal," Luo Yan replied after thinking for a moment.

"There's no reason for the loser to treat everyone."

Luo Yan laughed too. "Alright, alright, then I'll treat you if I win."

"Fine, I'll treat you if I win." Shen Yanqiu waved her hand and smiled faintly. "I don't want to lose to you."

After a brief chat and a break, the semi-finalists re-entered the arena, and the semi-finals began.

At first, Wang Kai didn't have any particular feelings about Luo Yan, but after seeing Luo Yan pull out a mosquito coil frog in the last match, he suddenly felt like crying.

No wonder, this guy's ace Onix is ​​a sitting duck when it encounters Water-type Pokémon. Some weaker Water-type Pokémon are one thing, but the Water-type Pokémon that have made it this far can't be low level, let alone a Shiny Poliwag.

His other two Pokémon are Vulpix and FireRed. Vulpix needs no introduction; it's a Fire-type Pokémon active in various Eastern legends, and it also has a bit of Psychic-type talent.

The FireRed Tumbler is an imported species from the Western Regions. Its evolved form is Darmanitan, which has decent combat power, but the problem is that it is also a Fire-type Pokémon.

There are three Pokémon in total, all of which are countered by Shiny Poliwag. The most crucial point is that Luo Yan's Shiny Eevee is also quite strong, so it's questionable whether these three Pokémon will even be able to encounter Poliwag.

The final result was as expected. After Luo Yan defeated the FireRed Tumbler and Vulpix with Eevee, he immediately pulled out Poliwag and won the semi-final without giving them any chance.

After the semi-finals, the players and spectators prepared to have dinner.

The final match will take place at 7 p.m., and the two opponents will be the same as predicted before the match: Luo Yan, a Shiny Pokémon Trainer, versus Shen Yanqiu, the heir of a Dragon-type family from Sichuan and Chongqing.

Even before the match began, the viewership ratings had already broken the record for all previous Beginner League matches.

Inside the Jiangcheng Martial Arts Hall, Hou Zhi, Elder Chen, and Bai Tianwang gathered together. Lu Feng also brought several plates of cut fruit and placed them on the table before sitting down in a chair.

All eyes were focused on the large projection screen. They were eager to know whether Luo Yan could defeat Shen Yanqiu and what kind of exciting battle would erupt between them.

Under such intense public scrutiny.

Luo Yan and Shen Yanqiu walked out from the contestant passages from different directions, facing each other, and finally stood at the contestant command platform.
