Pokémon the Movie: The Journey of a Slate

Chapter 371 Confused Xiaotong and the Finals Begin

The next morning, the final day of the Lily of the Valley Conference.

The warm sunlight filtered through the gaps in the curtains, playfully dancing on Xiaotong’s face. The girl turned over on the soft big bed, smacked her lips, and thought drowsily that she was going to cheer her brother up today... cheer her brother... up?

"what--!"

A short and terrified scream broke the silence of the room. Xiaotong sat up suddenly from the bed. Her sleepy eyes were instantly replaced by panic. She hurriedly grabbed the small alarm clock on the bedside table. The second hand was turning mercilessly, and the girl's face turned pale.

9:13! The tournament organizers announced that the final would start at 9:.

"It's over, it's over... The game, my brother's game has begun..." Xiaotong shouted incoherently, jumping off the bed like a frightened Pikachu, and wandering around the room barefoot looking for clothes, "Kathy, Bronze Mirror Monster! Why didn't you wake me up! Woo——"

In the corner of the room, listening to the girl's half-blaming and half-coquettish voice, Cathy sighed helplessly while holding her little spoon doll. They had tried several times not long ago, but unfortunately, Xiaotong slept very soundly, and they didn't have the heart to do anything, so they just let her sleep until now.

Pogamon, Pikachu, and Gauntlet, who had evolved into Haori, who wanted to watch the game, had already left with Wisdom, leaving only Casey and Mirror Monster waiting here.

"Buzz?" The bronze mirror monster made a confused sound, floated to the bedside, and used telekinesis to steadily hand Xiaotong the cheering T-shirt and small backpack that she had prepared last night.

At this moment, Xiaotong was so anxious that she didn't care about the helplessness of the elves. She grabbed her clothes and put them on randomly, put on her small backpack and rushed out, muttering: "I'm sorry, I'm sorry... Brother, wait for me, I'll be there soon!"

The small figure rushed out of the room like a whirlwind, ran through the corridor towards the Lily of the Valley main arena, leaving Casey and the Bronze Mirror Monster looking at each other in confusion.

"Bronze?" The Bronze Mirror Monster turned around in the air in confusion. It would obviously be faster to use teleportation to take her there.

[… (Forget it, I can just run over there)] Casey finally gave up thinking, and his small figure quickly flew out, looking for the girl who had already run away and disappeared. He couldn't let this young lady run around alone.

……

In stark contrast to the early morning chaos, the main arena of Lily of the Valley was now packed with people and filled with noise. Under the dome, a huge energy barrier blocked the noise and turned the central venue into a decisive battle stage that belonged only to the two of them.

In the VIP viewing seats high above, the Four Heavenly Kings of the Sinnoh League, Earth King Kikuno, Fire King Daye, Psychic King Gomatsu, and Insect King Aliu, sat upright. Mr. Samaranch stood beside the Sinnoh champion Shirona with a smile on his face, while the blonde beauty was elegantly crossing her legs, supporting her chin with one hand, staring at the audience with her gray eyes, with a faint smile on the corner of her mouth.

The huge floating light screen showed the tense situation of the battle at this moment.

Below Darko's avatar, three of the six indicator lights representing the Pokémon in battle have gone out. The avatars belong to Stoker, Magneto, and Latios, whose Poké Ball had just been taken back by Darko amid the audience's thunderous exclamations. The other three all showed bright question marks.

On the opposite side, an avatar under Eslo's avatar was also turned off. It was Magura's. In addition, the avatars representing Moon Eevee and Crocodile were also lit up.

Just as the referee's flag was raised on the field, Xiaotong, who had arrived late, finally broke through the shadow of the passage and appeared at the entrance of the audience seats.

"Huh, huh...are we catching up?" Xiaotong held her knees and gasped for breath, anxiously standing on tiptoe and looking at the huge stadium below.

"Xiaotong? Over here!" A cold but concerned voice came. Mali noticed the conspicuous flustered figure at the entrance, and immediately stood up and went forward to straighten her slightly crooked T-shirt. Nie Zi, who was originally sitting next to Mali, just glanced in that direction after seeing his sister's action and then looked away.

Xiaotong, who seemed a little confused, followed Mary's footsteps to the area where everyone was. In addition to Shinji, Tamaki and others, Xiaozhi and Xiaoguang were also sitting not far away, watching the game on the field seriously.

"Xiaotong! You got up really late." When Wisdom saw Xiaotong, he immediately lowered his voice and shouted.

Xiaotong had just been settled in the reserved seat by Mary. Before she could even catch her breath, she couldn't wait to ask, "Wei, Weiz! How are you now?"

While asking, the girl did not forget to look down at the field below.

"Your brother is in a very good situation." Ah Xun on the side said to Xiaotong with a smile, and Mali also explained the current situation to Xiaotong.

Unexpectedly, Darko did not send out Darkrai as the starting lineup, but chose Latios instead. However, when the gray-haired young man saw the Moon Eevee on the opposite field, he replaced it with Magneto without hesitation.

There is no other reason, I just fear the poison.

As for Esiro, after launching a Dark Wave, he chose to take back Umbreon and sent out Crocodile instead. Darko originally wanted to use the advantage of Magneto's ability to fly to deal with Esiro and consume Crocodile's strength, but he didn't expect that Crocodile would create a sandstorm to block his vision and then directly press Magneto to the ground to cause an earthquake.

Under the four times restraint, Magneto lay peacefully on the ground on the spot.

Having learned his lesson, Darko sent out Stowe. With its attribute advantage, Croaking's condition was greatly reduced. Unfortunately, although both are champion-level Pokémon, Stowe's hard power is still a little worse, and it was regrettably sent away by Croaking at the same time as the sandstorm ended.

After two layers of overconfidence, the Rogue Crocodile's momentum was undoubtedly terrifying, but Eslo knew that the opponent was in a very bad state, and Darko would definitely send a fast one to kill him directly, so Eslo decisively sent out Moon Eevee, and Darko unsurprisingly sent out Latios who appeared at the beginning.

The following plot is very simple. Latios was put into a poisonous state. After some consumption, he used Roar to force Moon Eevee back into the Poké Ball and pulled Magma out.

At Mazoula's request, Aislo did not choose to change players, but fought hard despite the level gap. In the end, Mazoula exploded and dragged Latios to death together, completing the godkilling. His strength was only one step away from the championship.

And then, this is the scene that everyone is seeing now.

"Maxianla is so awesome..." Xiaotong's big brown eyes sparkled. In the past, because Maxianla looked cold and difficult to get along with, even the cheerful Xiaotong couldn't get closer to him, although Maxianla had tried very hard to respond to the girl.

"Um……"

While everyone was chatting, the two people on the battlefield finally made new moves.
