Arena.
Kenta took back the shuttlecock cotton and looked at the three Poké Balls in his hand, feeling sad.
"Sorry...everyone..."
"Excellent strategic planning, and the Pokémon's performances were also very exciting."
The sudden voice made him look up in surprise, only to see Kashiwagi coming up to him at some point, smiling and extending his hand.
"It's a pleasure to battle against a trainer as good as you."
"Where."
Kenta restrained his expression, laughed as if nothing had happened and said, "I've learned a lot from you. Thank you very much!"
The words were very polite.
But when the two held hands, Kashiwagi could feel the other's body shaking slightly.
It has nothing to do with emotions like tension or fear; it's purely out of unwillingness.
Challenging the Orei Alliance was not just a whim or a fun move on Kenta's part. Half a year ago, he and two of his good friends had already started challenging the Realgar Tower's arena ranking battles.
It was not until the Orei Conference at the end of the year that this result was achieved.
"..."
He nodded slightly and said nothing more.
Seeing Marina and Junyi rushing into the field anxiously, he took the initiative to give them the space.
Sometimes the compliments from the victor fail to comfort the loser but instead increase the loser's resentment.
This is especially true for people with strong personalities.
Kashiwagi left the venue through the players' passage, while friends who did not qualify in the preliminaries, such as Koshin, Otsuka, and Ginba, were waiting safely.
Those who are going to participate in the competition are generally actively preparing in the information room and do not dare to slack off at all.
It was because of the preliminaries the day before that they realized that even if they put Kashiwagi aside, the Orei Conference was still full of strong people.
Super evolution, which is rarely seen in ordinary areas, seems to have become cabbage that can be seen everywhere in Orei...
Maybe it's a bit exaggerated, but the number is indeed huge.
of course.
There was more than one reason for not being there.
For example, Shan Min, his competition was supposed to be in the afternoon, but he was still directing backstage in the morning.
Seeing Kashiwagi walking out of the passage, everyone immediately surrounded him excitedly.
"That's amazing! Was that a Z-Move?"
"Boss! Fierce!"
"Boss Kashiwagi is the fastest team to win! I won the bet! Yay!"
After the mobile version of Pokémon Rotom was released, the company launched a guessing event for the Orei Conference to attract more users.
From who will be the final winner, to who is most likely to advance, and even who will win the fastest.
Various activities emerge in an endless stream, and the rewards are exceptionally generous.
The audience at the conference responded particularly actively.
It is said that the number of new users is growing exponentially every day, and 10 million is just a starting point.
In just a few months, Baokeyin has become a leader in the new media industry, far exceeding Kashiwagi's expectations.
Originally, he just wanted to earn some pocket money to buy land.
"Kashiwagi! Come on!!"
"We support you Kashiwagi!"
"The reigning king! Invincible! Hahahaha!"
Kashiwagi suppressed his inner embarrassment and smiled back at the audience around him who greeted him.
A champion's affinity is a very important attribute.
Among all the non-protagonist champions in the history of Pokémon, there has never been a cool one.
Kindness is the most basic element.
Kashiwagi had no intention of going against the current and creating different fireworks.
Seeing more and more people gathering around, he quickly said, "Let's go! Let's go watch other people's games!"
The group immediately turned to other venues.
Just as Ginma said, his match with Kenta was indeed fast, and the other three venues were still in a tense battle.
The six faces were all unfamiliar, and the fight was not very exciting. He took a quick look and asked, "Is Cheng Hong the second wave this morning?"
"Correct!"
Otsuka quickly said, "I heard that the opponent is a trainer who used to train at Battle Mountain."
Battle Mountain trainers are known for being few in number and of high quality.
Therefore, a large proportion of the 64 players who qualified were occupied by them.
Can Cheng Hong win?
Thinking of his previous bold words, Kashiwagi couldn't help but feel excited.
It has been nearly three years since the two of them worked together to carry the person out of the abandoned mine.
I hope Cheng Hong can give him a big enough surprise.
Otsuka, Ginzaru, and Ginba are unlucky, and there are not many trainers from Huangtie Town left in the arena!
Soon the first wave of competition in the morning ended.
The second wave of players entered the venue one after another.
Cheng Hong was among them. When he saw the people in the front row of the audience, he was not nervous at all and waved to them actively.
"This brat! He's so proud of himself!"
Otsuka cursed with a smile, his eyes full of envy.
It was promised that Kashiwagi would be impressed at the conference, but in the end, only Chenghong was in the limelight.
Regret?
Otsuka recalled the scene of the rogue crocodile blocking the dark hole, and it would be a lie to say that he didn't regret it.
But if he were given the choice again, he would still do the same.
There are always things more important than so-called winning or losing, and the boss had taught him this through his actions.
The opponent arrived, a tall and thin young man.
The commentator and the Porygon referee took their positions one after another, and the venue was decided to be a grass venue.
The game officially begins!
Cheng Hong started with a giant rock monster as usual. Nicknamed Little Bankillas, it was excellent except for its slightly slow speed and single rock attribute.
For example, the physical attack racial value, Kashiwagi remembered that it was as high as 135 points!
A little more than Bangilas!
Yellow sand is blowing.
The visibility in the venue dropped rapidly, but unfortunately it had little impact on the armored birds sent out by the opponent.
It is obvious that Chenghong's Pokémon and fighting style have been studied by his opponents.
Armored Bird is the solution.
The first thing he did when he appeared on the stage was to provoke the enemy with a change of moves, then he increased his speed with the wind, and then he [scattered diamonds] to drive in the nails, all in one go.
On the other hand, Pang Yanguai's curse was strengthened for a while at the beginning, and then he just stood there stupidly.
It looks very strange.
The commentator couldn't understand what he was thinking. Seeing Cheng Hong's calm look, Kashiwagi had some guesses in his mind.
Inside the venue.
When the Armored Bird finished scattering its Pokémon, facing the Titanoclast that was still not moving, it did not use Blow Away to force Cheng Hong to exchange Pokémon.
Instead, they took a tentative attack.
【Cannon Light Cannon】!
How greedy!
Unwilling to give up the provocative effect?
Baimu looked at the bright silver beam of light bombarding Pang Yanguai and felt that this man was both cautious and careless.
really.
The next moment when the smoke from the explosion rose up, three golden pebbles broke through the air and flew towards the Armored Bird!
The Armored Bird flapped its wings to dodge but only dodged two and was hit by the third.
At the moment of collision, the golden boulders exploded, causing the Armored Bird to fall to the ground uncontrollably!
【shoot down】!
A Rock-type Physical Attack Move that can knock down Flying-type Pokémon and make Ground-type Moves effective.
The opponent tried to take back the Armored Bird in a panic, but Cheng Hong had obviously been waiting for the opportunity for a long time.
"earthquake!"
Rumble, rumble, rumble——!!
A strong earthquake that could be felt in the audience seats struck, and the terrifying shock wave knocked over the Armored Bird that was trying to get up.
A large amount of raised soil and grass clippings almost buried it.
When the Armored Bird stumbled and struggled to break free, the slowly approaching Giant Rock Monster attacked it with sharp stones and took it away in one round.
The outstanding performance drew constant applause from the audience.
Kashiwagi commented with a smile:
"Not bad!"
He finally understood what Cheng Hong meant by surprise - the patience to wait for the opportunity, calm judgment and trust in Pokémon.
Compared to all kinds of fancy tactics, these things may sound a bit superficial, but they are important factors that can determine the direction of the battle.
but.
Still a bit too tender.
The intention of waiting for the opportunity was too straightforward. If the opponent was not also stupid, it would not have been so smooth.
Otsuka said: "The captain often throws us into the sea to surf, and we can only return to the boat after stepping on the waves. When it comes to patience and judgment in waiting for the 'wave', we are definitely one of the best!"
Ok?
Is there such a way of exercising?
Kashiwagi's ability to seize opportunities comes from his many life-and-death experiences and his innate keen senses.
I have never trained in a "systematic" way like Otsuka and his friends.
Maybe plagiarize a little.
He has not forgotten that he will open a school in the future.
Inside the venue.
After Cheng Hong got the rhythm, he kept advancing with great momentum, and he was even bold enough to let the Dragon Head Rat use [Horn Drill] to kill the opponent's Swampert instantly.
【Sand Shifting】characteristic, the action is fast!
However, after the opponent's extraordinary strength came into play, the situation was slightly saved, and the fierce and powerful Qi punch killed the dragon-headed mole.
When it was his turn to fight the Pangyan monster, he rushed forward with all his strength and wanted to engage in close combat.
Unexpectedly, Cheng Hong didn't hold back at all and directly ordered a big explosion, letting Pang Yanguai and Guai Li fight each other!
Lose one thousand of your own and injure eight hundred enemies!
The result of the game that successfully achieved "nuclear" parity.
"Ok, Ok."
Kashiwagi smiled.
As expected, he is the most talented trainer in Qingyi Street besides him. Genji’s teaching was not in vain!
After Cheng Hong finished, everyone welcomed him back outside.
Go to other venues together.
The other person who fought against him in the same wave was Gladion. When everyone arrived, the guy was performing a perfect counterattack - [Double Payback].
He knocked the opponent's Circle Bear flying away and successfully broke through the top 64!
But he only seems to have four Pokémon?
Umbreon, Lycanroc, Silvermate, and Zoroark...
"Lilia, where is Xuwuid?"
Kashiwagi looked at the little loli in the white dress with a rosy face.
Lilia replied, "Xuwuid wanted to fight with his brother, so he also participated."
The fifth one is only left!
"What's your brother's sixth Pokémon?"
he asked curiously.
Liliae smiled and ran to the side holding Alola Vulpix, "It's a secret! You'll know when you meet it!"
This child——
Kashiwagi realized that being too familiar with Liliae was not a good idea. Liliae used to be so polite.
Now the more we talk, the more lively we become, as if we are liberating our nature.
noon.
Everyone gathered to enjoy a luxurious lunch in Battle Town.
Thanks to the abundant crops harvested by the Bud Crown King, Orei didn't have to worry about food shortages for a long time.
In order to consume food quickly, the alliance even reasonably allowed many hotels that receive tourists to waive the material fees for breakfast, lunch and dinner, and only charge labor costs.
The low prices and fresh quality of the food have earned Ole a certain reputation in the food industry.
Even if they can’t buy tickets for the conference, many tourists are still attracted by Olei.
After Kashiwagi finished his meal, he saw Yamaminoru who had finished work.
"Didn't you give up your authority? Why are you still holding on to it?"
"There are too many people and accidents happen frequently. I am just responsible for taking charge and preventing errors from occurring in the operations of various departments."
Shan Min bit into his sandwich and said, "Okay, I know what you want to say. I'm ready."
He gave a thumbs up.
Xiaosheng saw this and asked curiously, "Does President Shan Min like to praise people? I seem to see him do this often."
"Almost, but to me, it means he can still do it."
Kashiwagi said with a smile.
Since the training methods at Platinum and Silver Mountain are quite intense, Shan Min and his Pokémon often cannot bear it.
The thumbs-up sign is a signal that they can continue.
Otherwise stop.
Xiaosheng suddenly realized and said enviously, "If I had known, I would have trained with you guys."
Losing to Huoyan was a pain in his heart.
I originally thought that even if I couldn't win, I could still escape. Who would have thought that Huoyan was so powerful.
The infrastructure in the Unova region is so good that he can travel between cities by subway, but he lacks experience in field combat.
Subway battle?
He had fought before, but it was not much different from a normal battle.
"Take your time. Xiaozhi didn't win the championship by participating in one or two tournaments. Why are you in such a hurry?"
Kashiwagi patted Kacchan's shoulder.
The master of Chenghua Gym, Qianli, is young and strong, and it is not his turn to inherit the gym.
Why bother about the results of a few conferences?
Xiaosheng laughed and said, "That's true!"
The first wave of games in the afternoon.
Shan Minoru appears.
A trainer specializing in psychic attributes who has participated in four tournaments, with his highest result being runner-up.
His resume is among the best among all the contestants participating in the conference.
It's a pity that he is not particularly strong in terms of strength.
The night before the game.
Yamaminoru told Kashiwagi that his idea was to at least win one game in the preliminary round.
Expectations can be said to be very low.
Kashiwagi thinks he can set his goals further ahead, but Yamaminori says people have to learn to accept reality.
As the leader of the conference organizer, he knows best which strong players will participate in the competition. With each round after the preliminary round, the chance of encountering them increases greatly.
A tournament finale?
Shan Min never considered it.
Seeing that his friend had made up his mind, Kashiwagi knew that it would be useless no matter how much he tried to persuade him.
Do not know why.
Kashiwagi always felt that Shan Minoru was very inferior, but what was there for him to be inferior about when he was about to be promoted to the president of the alliance?
I hope that playing against my friends will give me the answer.
He looked down carefully.
within the venue.
Shan Min took a slow, deep breath before the game. His opponent was not very strong, and as long as he played steadily, there was a great possibility that he would achieve his goal.
Di-
The shrill ringing of bells pierced the air above the venue.
The competition on the grass field officially begins.
Shan Min sent out a bronze bell.
This is his fifth Pokémon after Psyche, Alakazam, Slowpoke, and Psychic.
I don't have much of a presence. For the past year or so, I have been staying in the newly built bell tower in Huangtie Town, responsible for ringing the bell "ding ding ding" at the appointed time every day.
Many residents were so used to the ringing of the bell that after Shan Min took it away, he put a mechanical clock in it.
Good fighting ability.
The key is that he also has a very powerful skill——
【Magic Space】.
Among the tactics that Kashiwagi arranged for Yamaminoru, several of them were implemented with the magic space as the core.
At the moment, Shan Min adopted one of them.
"Magic Space!"
"when!"
The bronze bell shook, and the sound waves spread to cover the entire venue, causing a pink and purple space to slowly rise.
The opponent's crow flapped its wings and flew away, but as soon as it released the evil wave, it was dodged by the bronze bell at an incredible speed!
"Gah?"
The chief crow was startled.
