Chapter 508 Gym League (6)
Wang Qiyi fought one against five, and Deep Blue Gym defeated Thunder Cloud Gym 9-2 at home. This news immediately dominated the headlines of the Gym League official website, and the video of the final five-on-five battle went viral online, causing major platforms to re-evaluate Wang Qiyi's strength.
However, Goku didn't display his legendary strength in this battle. His speed and reflexes far surpassed those of his peers, and his tacit cooperation with Dandan and Ruanruan easily won the battle, so no one considered him a legendary. After all, Wang Qiyi was too young, and Infernape was only at the legendary level at the last World Masters Tournament. It was impossible for him to reach a breakthrough in such a short time.
Instead, it was Jerry's powerful skill effects that caught everyone's attention. The giant tail that appeared behind him slammed down, a skill no one had ever seen before. However, trainers with Legendary Pokémon could instantly recognize it as a sign that a Pokémon has reached Legendary. Once a Pokémon reaches Legendary, some of its skills undergo a qualitative change, becoming more powerful and the special effects become exceptionally gorgeous.
Wang Qiyi became a legend in the Deep Blue Gym with a single match. The team's performance improved dramatically, and their rankings immediately climbed. Subsequent matches were held every three days, and whenever Wang Qiyi appeared, the event attracted significant attention. The stadiums were practically packed.
In the final seven games of the regular season, Deep Blue Gym easily won both home and away. Their six-game winning streak vaulted them to second place, securing a spot in the National League with the top two teams. Currently in third place is Heavy Punch Gym, who have completed all regular season matches this season with a record of 7 wins and 6 losses in 32 matches.
Chong Quan Dojo, a renowned fighting gym in Jinan, Shandong Province, is owned by Hong Yucheng, a former champion of the World Martial Arts Tournament. Hong Yucheng is also a descendant of the Hong Family's Hung Fist style, likely from the same family as Hong Hancheng of the Imperial Capital Martial Arts Association. Chong Quan Dojo's matches against Deep Blue Dojo were already concluded before Wang Qiyi joined, with the team winning both home and away matches.
Deep Blue Gym currently holds a record of 22 wins and 9 losses, ranking second. However, their final match faces the first-place Magic City Battle Tower. A loss to Magic City Battle Tower would tie Deep Blue Gym's record with Heavy Fist Gym's, both at 22 wins and 10 losses. This head-to-head record would place Deep Blue Gym in third place, making this match incredibly crucial for Deep Blue Gym.
The strength of the Magic City Battle Tower is undoubtedly unparalleled in the East China region, and they are even a championship-level team in the national league. This is because they don't specialize in any one attribute, and the trainers they sign up with have all attributes. This is mainly due to the fact that the Magic City Battle Tower is wealthy and can obtain training resources for any attribute, so powerful trainers all want to join the Magic City Battle Tower.
This led to an impressive record for the Magic City Battle Tower in the East China region, with a 31-30 record in 1 matches. One of those losses came at the hands of the Dark Gym in Fuzhou, Fujian Province, which specializes in Sin-type characters. The Magic City Battle Tower prepared its Fighting and Fairy-type mainstays to counter this, but the opposing coach anticipated their strategy. The home team prepared a Psychic Field, and the Magic City Battle Tower underestimated their opponent, believing they could prevail through sheer force. However, their Pokémon were completely predicted by their opponent.
Even so, the Dark Gym had a very difficult battle. However, they still managed to capture the Magic City Battle Tower, a victory that the Fuzhou natives boasted about for the entire year. However, relying on strategy to win only once was not enough; it wouldn't work the second time. The Magic City Battle Tower had a dedicated team of coaches and analysts. After a defeat, they immediately reviewed and analyzed the situation to avoid a similar situation in the next battle. Since then, no other gym has been able to defeat them.
"Master Wang, you're so awesome now! I see news about you every day on my phone at school," Jia Wencheng said sarcastically over the phone. Jia Wencheng was really showing off at school because Xiaohong had successfully tamed that Legendary Milotic a few days ago. Now he had a Legendary Pokémon. If he participated in the National College Student Competition again, he would definitely win the championship.
However, Milotic is not very obedient to him yet, and the feelings and bond between the two need to be cultivated. This is the difficulty of conquering legendary elves. You need to spend a lot of time and effort on it, just to cultivate feelings. It may not listen to you after training, so it is difficult to improve its strength.
Jia Wencheng, who had always thought himself invincible, sought compliments from his classmates everywhere. But he discovered that his classmates had recently been focused on the Dojo League competitions, and all the reports were about Wang Qiyi. Wang Qiyi was all about the world champion, so why were his classmates chasing him? There was a celebrity right next to him, yet they didn't even glance at him. This irritated him. He was also a gifted child, on the verge of breaking records and becoming a young legend. Of course, not Wang Qiyi's record, but Li Yunfeng's.
"Hey, Jia Wencheng, let's talk about business and stop being sarcastic." Li Yaoyao's voice came from the phone.
"I understand. Yaoyao, please don't snatch my phone..."
"Master Jia, aren't you very busy? What's the matter? What's the matter with you looking for me?"
"The final exams are over and winter break has begun. You haven't been in school for a long time and you even forgot when the break is."
"You're rambling again, give it to me..." Li Yaoyao snatched Jia Wencheng's phone and continued, "Wang Qiyi, is your Deep Blue Gym going to play the final regular season match against the Magic City Battle Tower?"
"Yeah, the game is tonight. Do you have time to watch me play since you have your day off?"
"I just wanted to go see your match. Tickets went on sale online yesterday, and they sold out in less than five minutes. How many seats does your gym have? How did they sell out so quickly? We couldn't get any tickets, so we called to see if you have any insider tickets."
"Damn it! Master Jia, you spend tons of money and still can't get a ticket! Why don't you just throw money at me and get a ticket?"
Upon hearing this, Jia Wencheng immediately snatched Li Yaoyao's phone and said, "Don't you understand the real-name system for ticket sales? Scalpers have been cracked down on a long time ago. In this day and age, even having money doesn't guarantee you'll get a ticket; you need connections. Isn't this a direct call to you? You're not going to tell me that you, a key player at the Deep Blue Gym, can't get an insider ticket for a home game."
"I haven't thought about that. I'll call the owner and see if I can get you two."
"Three... no, four. He Jiaying and Jiang Zining are coming over here too."
"Oh my god, there are too many to list. Don't bring all the combat-oriented people here."
Seven o'clock in the evening, prime time for watching the Pokémon Battle, was already packed with people near the Deep Blue Gym. A large number of spectators were entering in an orderly fashion, and the square outside the gym was filled with various vendors. There was Jigglypuff selling balloons with his owner; Goryeo, wearing a chef's hat, frying rice in a large pot, his trainer standing by to control the heat; and Infernape, helping his owner roast popcorn; the scene was bustling with activity.
Jia Wencheng, accompanied by three beautiful women, entered the arena with four VIP tickets given by Wang Qiyi. It was just a regular season game in a regional tournament, but the excitement rivaled that of a national final. Due to the importance of this match, the owner of the Heavy Fist Dojo, Hong Yucheng, personally traveled from Shandong to Hangzhou to watch the game. If the Deep Blue Dojo won, their Heavy Fist Dojo would be eliminated from the playoffs.
The outcome of this battle was truly unimportant to the Magic City Battle Tower. They had already secured the championship, so a loss wouldn't matter. However, Hong Yucheng knew that the Magic City Battle Tower would never allow themselves to be humiliated and lose the match. Their pride and arrogance meant they wouldn't allow the Fuzhou Dark Gym to mock them for another year.
In the Deep Blue Gym's backstage meeting room, Qiu Leiyin said solemnly, "I won't elaborate on the importance of this match. Wang Qiyi, are you still determined to handle the fourth match alone?"
Wang Qiyi nodded firmly. His previous six-game winning streak had all been won by Wang Qiyi alone in the fourth match against five opponents. He had only played in four of those matches, and in two of those, he had already scored six points in the first three rounds, ending the match 6-4. Whenever Wang Qiyi played, in those five-on-five matches, Wang Qiyi only had three elves fighting, and the Monkey King combination never lasted more than three minutes. Seeing his rock-steady composure, Qiu Leiyin chose to continue trusting him.
