The outcome of the match is always good, as long as the score isn't behind or tied, Xia Hu Nao can accept whatever the result of this small round.
During the short halftime break, Xia Hu Nao stood in the stands stretching his body, first performing a set of Tai Chi, then a set of "Letting Dreams Fly," which stunned everyone around him. Yu Long Du, who had already finished his match, sat beside him and asked, "Old Xia, what are you doing? Warming up should be for the Pokémon, why are you exercising yourself? Unless you plan to engage in hand-to-hand combat with your opponent when it's your turn."
Xia Hu Nao placed his hands on his hips and replied, "What are you talking about? I have a hunch that I'll finish quickly today, so I need to warm up my body first."
Although Xia Hu Nao wanted to warm up, unfortunately, the match didn't leave him much time. Just as he was transitioning to the "Jumping Movement" part of "Letting Dreams Fly," the second half of the match began. He had originally planned to do some other routines after "Letting Dreams Fly," but since the match had started, he could only obediently sit in the stands and continue watching.
Xia Hu Nao swung his wrists, "I finally felt a bit of rhythm, and now it's over."
Yu Long Du chuckled, "That's why I say your exercise is all in vain. You might as well eat some chocolate with that spare time, it's also a way to liven up your brain."
Despite what Xia Hu Nao and Yu Long Du said, less than ten minutes later, Xia Hu Nao and Mu Zhi Shui were called to the stage. Xia Hu Nao was quite helpless about this development. Although he wanted to finish quickly, the two matches before him had been too cooperative. The two matches combined were resolved in less than ten minutes.
The first to go was Miao Long Que. Perhaps knowing that Xia Hu Nao wanted a quick victory, he launched a fast attack from the start, directing his Pokémon towards the opponent. The opponent was also accommodating; if you want to attack fast, I'll oblige, and the two Pokémon collided like sparks hitting a fiery earth. Then, Miao Long Que wanted to learn from Wang Zhen and go for a big play, directly trading one for one.
Xia Hu Nao, rubbing his temples in the stands, felt a headache coming on: "He t/"
Chu Xiao Die agreed, "Yes, Bellossom and Empoleon are not at an advantageous position in terms of strength, or rather, Bellossom was completely at a disadvantage. Once Empoleon caught it and started to shake it, it was difficult to escape."
"It's just that the location where Future Sight hit wasn't particularly precise. If it had hit a vital point, perhaps there would have been even more variables in this match."
As they were talking, Wu Gong Ping returned and cupped his hands towards Xia Hu Nao, "I have fulfilled my mission. The rest of the match is up to you."
Meng Tian Ya also came to put pressure on him, "You know, even if we draw, we've already secured a top-two spot. These are two completely different concepts."
Xia Hu Nao raised his hand, "Don't worry, as I said, to counter Man Ying's potential tactics, I can at least win one point. You can rest assured."
Xia Hu Nao turned and stepped onto the field with Mu Zhi Shui to face the final battle that would determine both sides' fates. Meanwhile, in the Six Ling University team's training room, Captain Wei Chi Ting was leading everyone in watching the match, "What have you all learned from this match? Feng Bing, you go first."
Feng Bing pointed to himself, "Me, me first? Maybe it's better to skip it. Although I'm Coach Xia's student, I'm just a newcomer who has just joined the reserve team. It's probably not appropriate for me to express opinions casually."
Wei Chi Ting pointed to Lu Bing Ming standing beside him, "What about you? What do you think?"
"Close to vermilion, you turn red; close to ink, you turn black. It's clear that everyone has been led astray by Senior Xia, and their unconventional tactics are endless. But what's going on with Miao Long Que? Wasn't he in the top four nationally? How could he have such a ridiculous move?"
"Yeah, we can't even pull off this kind of strategy where you don't defend and just go for a big explosion right from the start. Look at the first match. Although Wang Zhen also used a big explosion, Iron Defense Crab was on the offensive at that time."
The Six Ling University group chattered here, while Xia Hu Nao's side was chatting with the Man Ying team members. Of course, before the formal chat began, Xia Hu Nao had sought permission from the referee.
"Excuse me, referee, you see this is the final match, and the match between Li Xing and Mi Lun is tomorrow. Since that's the case, could you let me chat with the two from Man Ying for a while longer?"
Although the referee team had no particular stance, at least the entire referee team disliked Xia Hu Nao at the moment. This kid was always causing them trouble. However, Xia Hu Nao's request was not unreasonable, so the referee nodded, "You can, but don't talk for too long."
Although the referee didn't curse, his impatient nodding was quite significant, directly causing his hat to fall off. Xia Hu Nao was instantly attracted by the bald spot on the referee's head, "So shiny."
The two members of Man Ying also nodded in agreement. The referee quickly picked up his hat and put it back on, "You guys put your thumbs away. Do you have anything to say to the opponent, or not? If not, I'll announce the start of the match."
Xia Hu Nao raised his hand, "Wait, wait, don't. Almost, almost."
Saying that, Xia Hu Nao looked at the Man Ying team members, "Hey, isn't this the guy who followed me before? How is it, did you get any useful information from me before?"
The Man Ying team member blushed upon hearing this. Although he had been warned not to let Xia Hu Nao exploit any loopholes, it was still a bit awkward for Xia Hu Nao to bring it up at this moment.
"Ahem, do you think we don't know what you're trying to do? Our team's strategist is no ordinary person. We've already seen through your little tricks. Now it's our turn to use our strategies. I wonder if you dare to accept the challenge?"
Xia Hu Nao put his hands in his pockets and said nonchalantly, "Just let your mule come, I'm not afraid of you guys."
Mu Zhi Shui chuckled after hearing this, "What do you mean 'let your mule come'? You can't use words like that."
Xia Hu Nao pouted, "I don't doubt the wisdom of Feng and Mei, but a horse's strategy combined with a donkey's execution can only result in a mule, whose size is between a donkey and a horse."
After speaking, Xia Hu Nao glanced at the two Man Ying team members, his pity clearly visible in his eyes. However, unfortunately, Ling Yao Star has horse Pokémon and donkey Pokémon, but no mule Pokémon, so the Man Ying people couldn't understand what Xia Hu Nao and Mu Zhi Shui were talking about.
"No matter what you say, let's have a one-on-one duel. Let me see how strong your strongest Pokémon is, and let the outcome of our battle decide everything."
Xia Hu Nao pointed to the bald referee beside him, "The referee won't agree to this. Even if the referee agreed, your teammate wouldn't. Although I won't lose, even if I did lose, it would be a draw. Wouldn't you hold up the match and call for a tie-breaker? That would be too many variables."
Despite saying this, Xia Hu Nao still took out a Poké Ball containing Guagua, "However, since you've said so, I can't refuse. I can guarantee that Mu Zhi Shui won't interfere in our one-on-one battle, how about that?"
Mu Zhi Shui nodded, "Yes, I promise to only battle this young lady from Man Ying and not interfere in your fight."
"What, you've already stirred up trouble, and I've already agreed. Don't tell me you're backing out now."
