Chapter 122 Commentators Lin Dao and Li Hao
On the day of the semi-finals, the atmosphere inside the battle tower reached a new boiling point.
After three days of intense and high-density competition, the audience's emotions had already been raised to a fever pitch. Their enthusiasm was fully ignited, and their immense anticipation almost materialized, filling every inch of the air.
Starting yesterday, the internal structure of the Battle Tower has been quietly restored to its original state. The massive tower walls have closed again, isolating the noise and creating an atmosphere of absolute focus.
Only the dome at the top remained open, allowing sunlight to illuminate the central battlefield where the finalists would be decided.
The venue has also been upgraded again.
No longer five distinct independent stages, but an unprecedented, larger-scale, and more complex composite battleground has quietly risen from underground, replacing the previous single-attribute arenas.
This site is a miniature landscape, with a pool of water that is not too deep but has a considerable area occupying about one-third of the area. The water is crystal clear. One side of the pool connects to a rugged rocky area, while the other side transitions to a small simulated dense forest. The remaining part is a relatively flat sandy area.
It encompasses almost all the terrain elements that have appeared before, clearly designed to test the contestants' comprehensive command and adaptability in complex environments.
The way the contestants enter the arena has also changed.
Instead of simply exiting through a passage, Hong You and Hu Tian emerged slowly from opposite sides of the arena on rising platforms, like gladiators ascending the final stage, followed by spotlights that sparked wave after wave of cheers from the stands.
Just as the audience held their breath and waited for the match to begin, the voices of the commentators at the venue and in the live broadcast room suddenly switched to two more familiar and unexpected voices.
"Hello everyone, I'm Lin Dao."
Lin Dao's calm and clear voice resonated throughout the venue through the amplification system.
"I am Li Hao!"
Li Hao's voice carried a familiar warmth mixed with a hint of nervousness.
"Lin Ge and I will be providing commentary for the upcoming semi-finals and finals! Viewers in the live stream, feel free to send us any questions or comments!"
After a brief moment of surprise, the crowd erupted in even more enthusiastic applause and cheers.
The fact that this "Pokémon guide" personally commentated on the highest-level match undoubtedly boosted the prestige and attention of the competition.
Countless viewers immediately opened their phones and entered the official live stream room, and the barrage of comments exploded instantly.
In the video, Lin Dao is still dressed in simple casual clothes, with a calm expression; Li Hao, on the other hand, looks energetic and has the affability that is unique to live broadcasts.
They were in a transparent interpretive booth that overlooked the entire venue.
[Teacher Lin! Brother Hao! It's actually them doing the commentary!]
[Two chefs are overjoyed! Their professionalism is off the charts!]
[Could you also predict the champion, Mr. Lin?]
[This is impressive! No wonder it's the semi-finals!]
On the field, Hong You and Hu Tian had already taken their positions.
The referee ascended into the air in a hovercraft, his sharp gaze sweeping over both sides.
"Semi-final Match 1: Player Hong You vs. Player Hu Tian! Please send out your Pokémon!"
The two threw their Poké Balls almost simultaneously.
White light shone in the water area, and they all chose the environment most suitable for their Pokémon to begin.
Hong You's Shiny Gyarados "Xiao Jin" burst out of the ball, its massive body plunging into the water and creating huge waves. Its crimson scales reflected the light of the water and the sky, giving off a chilling aura. Its deep breathing carried an oppressive presence, and its scarlet eyes locked onto its opponent.
Hu Tian's electric light monster, "A-Dian," nimbly floated below the water's surface, its bulb-shaped light source emitting a steady glow, its eyes sharp, and tiny arcs of electricity flickering around its body.
Hu Tian took a deep breath and looked firmly at the person opposite him.
"Hong You! I know that A-Dian and I don't have much hope of beating you and Gyarados, but we've come this far, there's no turning back, and we will never give up easily!"
This candor and fighting spirit won applause from the audience.
"Ah Dian!" Hu Tian launched the first attack, his command decisive: "100,000 Volts!"
"Zzzzz—Boom!"
The sound pierced through the water, and Lanturn emerged from the water, its dorsal fin shining brightly. A thick, dazzling golden electric snake burst forth from the water, tearing through the air and striking directly at the Gyarados floating on the surface!
Electric-type attacks are extremely effective against Gyarados, which has both Water and Flying attributes! If this attack lands squarely, it can cause severe damage! This is the most direct...
And the most effective opening strike!
In the commentary booth, Li Hao immediately sped up his speech.
"Hu Tian strikes first! He starts with Thunderbolt! It's a type advantage, and this move is extremely threatening to Gyarados! If this move lands, even with Gyarados's physique, it will suffer serious damage! How will Hong You respond?"
The hearts of all the viewers were in their throats.
The Gyarados in the pool did not dodge or evade the oncoming violent electric current, nor did it even adopt a defensive posture. Instead, it let out a low roar and its massive body suddenly began to violently roll and twist on the surface of the water!
"BOOM!!"
The 100,000 volts slammed solidly into Gyarados's rolling body. The dazzling golden lightning struck it hard, exploding into countless leaping arcs that enveloped most of its body in blinding light, emitting a crackling, burning sound.
The blinding flash of electricity instantly submerged its red scales, the water crackling and emitting white smoke as it was electrolyzed, obscuring the view.
A gasp rippled through the audience.
"Take it head-on?!" Li Hao exclaimed. "Hong You chose to let Gyarados take that Thunderbolt attack? That's too risky!"
However, in that moment when they were enveloped in lightning and seemed to be passively taking a beating, Lin Dao, with his sharp eyes, spoke in a low and clear voice.
"Watch Gyarados's movements. It's not simply taking the attack."
His voice came through the microphone, startling many viewers.
Immediately afterward, the lightning subsided, and wisps of blue smoke rose from Gyarados's body, clearly indicating that it had suffered considerable damage.
But its eyes were even more ferocious as it stared intently at the Lightbulb Monster, which had risen slightly and was closer to the surface of the water due to the release of its powerful attack.
"Now, Kim!" Hong You's shout followed immediately, "Tornado!"
"roar--!!"
With its massive jaws wide open, Gyarados suddenly unleashed a grayish-white tornado that was far more powerful and far-reaching than usual. It didn't directly attack Lanturn, but instead whipped up a large area of water around it!
The water flow was swept up by the violent whirlwind, forming a huge waterspout. The lamplighter, caught off guard, was pulled into the air along with a huge amount of seawater, completely losing its swimming flexibility!
"Ah Dian!!" Hu Tian's expression changed drastically.
"Destroy the light!" Hong You's command followed immediately without any pause.
Gyarados, still maintaining its tornado attack, slightly adjusted its head, and opened its gaping maw once more.
This time, the energy gathered within manifested an unprecedented, almost incandescent, crimson-gold color! Compression, eruption!
