The King had fallen, but the atmosphere of the entire arena had been completely hyped up. Under the new rules, the competition had indeed become more exciting.
What was unbelievable was that when the top 16 competition ended, the previous champion, second runner-up, and third runner-up were all eliminated. This meant that a new King would be born this year.
The most confident team was probably the United States, because this time, there were only five United States contestants left in the top 16.
The next most confident team was the Fusangpeople, who had four contestants left.
The most nervous team was the Koreans, because they only had one contestant left. Fortunately, the Koreans did not expect to win in Pokemon, as they did not have such a tradition.
Hua Xia had it worse. Their only contestant was also eliminated in the top 16, and they had completely lost their hopes of winning the championship.
After a series of thrilling matches and intense calculations, in the end, the United States and Fusangpeople had the last laugh. The contestants in the finals were from these two countries.
"Duan Xuan, predict who will be the champion this time!" Sabenin said with a smile during the preparation stage of the competition.
"I think contestant Fusang has a higher chance of winning because he is the smartest contestant!" Duan Xuan was very honest, and she obediently expressed her opinion.
"Why?"
"Because the lineup for the finals is the easiest to guess!" Duan Xuan explained. "Because only one Mythical Beast is allowed in each 5v5 match, and there are a total of four Mythical Beasts, just enough to be allocated to four matches."
"Now that these two contestants have each used three Mythical Beasts in the previous three matches, we can only use the last Mythical Beast!"
"Contestant Fusang has the smartest contestant, and the remaining Mythical Beast is the Phoenix King. This Mythical Beast is known for its burning damage, and it also has the special skill of the Phoenix Nirvana. Even if it dies, it can return to the contestant's Pokeball. After three rounds, it can enter the arena for the second time. This is equivalent to having two Mythical Beasts at the same time!"
"On the other side, contestant Blue Stars and Stripes from the United States has the last Mythical Beast, Rogia. This Mythical Beast is known for its defense and control, but it is the most restrained contestant by the Phoenix King. That's because the Phoenix King's burn damage can ignore defense. No matter how high Rogiya's defense is, it's meaningless. "
"At the same time, both the Phoenix King and Rogia have the Undying Skill, but the Phoenix King's Undying Skill is obviously stronger. Both sides can only create four or five teams around these two mythical beasts. Considering the other Pokemon that have been used in the previous three matches, both sides can only bring out one strong team each. Chile's first team has completely suppressed the blue stars and stripes. "
"That's why I think that the person with the highest intelligence would have a 70% chance of winning!" Duan Xuan expressed his opinion very sincerely. However, Sabenin smiled faintly at the side.
"What? Do you have any different opinions? "Duan Xuan asked curiously.
"Well, I think that if this Blue Star-Spangled Banner is smart enough, then he still has a chance of winning!" Sabenin said with a smile.
"What are the odds?" Duan Xuan was even more curious.
"It's simple. Just give up on the Divine Beasts!" Sabenin said.
"Give up on the divine beast?" Duan Xuan was stunned for a moment. Then, both sides, who were in the preparation stage, revealed their lineups almost simultaneously.
Without a doubt, the person with the highest intelligence would bring out the Fire and Thunder lineups with the Phoenix as the core. This lineups focused on offense and had good control abilities. Even if the opponent did not have any Pokemon to restrict them, they would have a 60% chance of winning.
When Rogia was the only Mythological Beast left, their chances of winning were almost 80%.
However, when Duan Xuan saw the blue stars and stripes' lineups, he was completely dumbfounded. This was because the blue stars and stripes' lineups did not have the Divine Beast Rogia, but only five ordinary Pokemon!
That's right, the blue stars and stripes had actually given up on the Four Great Mythical Beasts Rogia and chosen a lineups with no Mythical Beasts at all.
What shocked Duan Xuan even more was that this lineups actually included the Flaming Stallion Pokemon.
One had to know that a Pokemon like the Flaming Stallion only had a Race Value of 500. Although its Race Value was considered average among all the Pokemon, it was still not enough to enter the competition.
Moreover, the Flaming Stallion itself was very unsuitable for the competition. Before commentating this competition, Duan Xuan had looked up a lot of relevant information about the competition, but in the end, he had not seen the Flaming Stallion appear in the competition.
This was because although the Flaming Stallion was very fast, its Attack and Defense were average. It also did not have a single control skill. Such a Pokemon was completely useless in the competition. Duan Xuan simply could not understand why the opponent had brought out the Flaming Stallion.
Moreover, other than the Flaming Stallion Pokemon, the other four Pokemon in the lineups were basically Pokemon that were rarely seen in the competition. He really did not know what the blue stars and stripes' player was thinking.
"My guess was right. The blue stars and stripes are indeed smarter. They have already prepared a way to deal with the person with the highest intelligence!" Sabenin said with a smile. This made Duan Xuan slightly stunned. Could the Flaming Stallion really have the ability to deal with the Phoenix King?
In the following match, the blue stars and stripes fell into an absolute disadvantage right from the start.
When the person with the highest intelligence saw that the opponent's lineups did not have any Pokemon that could threaten the Phoenix King, he immediately summoned the Phoenix King.
Indeed, the blue stars and stripes' Pokemon were killed one after another. Although the fourth Pokemon successfully swapped the Phoenix King's life, the Phoenix King turned back into a Pokemon Egg and returned to the Pokemon Ball.
According to the game's settings, the Phoenix King could be revived after three rounds. Then, it could be summoned again to battle. Of course, this ability could only be used once.
However, once was enough. The person with the highest intelligence still had five complete Pokemon, but the blue stars and stripes only had the Flaming Stallion left.
There was no way for the blue stars and stripes to continue fighting. The blue stars and stripes' player was bound to lose without a doubt!
This was until the group of fiery-red Flaming Stallions really appeared on the battlefield.
The Flaming Stallion was the first to make a move. It immediately kicked the body of the second Pokemon, Chenglong, who had the highest intelligence.
In the end, Chenglong's health was instantly depleted, and it was instantly killed.
"What!" Duan Xuan, who was on the commentary platform, exclaimed, "This is impossible. How could a Flaming Stallion with 500 Race Points instantly kill a Chenglong with almost full health?"
"Nothing is impossible. Don't forget, the Flaming Stallion's special skill is Flaming Star!" Sabenin said leisurely, "This skill can convert speed into fire damage based on a percentage."
"As long as the Flaming Stallion is fast enough, anything is possible. Its attack power is actually limitless!"
