The Nagasaki Pokémon Duel Contest is much larger than similar tournaments held in other cities and towns, and the number of people who signed up for this year's tournament was more than 300, so it was necessary to use the brutal elimination tournament to quickly select the right players.

At the beginning of the competition, there will be nine battle arenas to start fighting at the same time, and each participant is only allowed to use one elf.

This kind of knockout tournament will not end until the round of 16 is selected, and after the round of 16, it is a standard 3v3 battle, and the choice of tactics and elves is much looser, and the visibility is much higher.

At the beginning, there was basically no need to use referees in the knockout rounds, and although the level of these players was uneven, in the eyes of several people who served as referees, it was nothing more than that, so the atmosphere between the referees was relatively relaxed.

"Long Yi, it seems that you have a lot of confidence in your disciples and children." Mayor Naoki Matsumoto said with a smile.

He and Long Yi had met last night, and today he broke the news that Team Rocket was also with Long Yi's permission, so he is more familiar than the other two.

Long Yi shook his head and smiled: "That's not true, in fact, I haven't seen them for a long time, and I don't know how far their level has improved." ”

"And the Nagasaki Duel Tournament is known as the Little Lottery Tournament, and there will still be some outstanding trainers among the players who want to participate, and I guess it will be very good for them to enter the top 16."

Onishima Senbei and Tomson Huang Yan are both very ordinary trainers, at most they have more opportunities than ordinary people to get some guidance from Long Yi, plus they have traveled to various regions, and they still have the strength.

But it's hard to say what kind of results can be achieved in the league competition where the four regions gather every year compared to those trainers who stick to the local area.

After all, there are even elemental trainers in that kind of competition, and there are elves with racial limit values in almost every session.

"Then why do you say that?" Kazuru asked curiously.

"Just give them a boost." Long Yiyi, "After all, the personal state and performance of trainers at this stage are still very important, in case their strength explodes, maybe they will really win the championship?" ”

"In the past, there may still be opportunities, but this year is unlikely." The most silent female gym owner, Yuka Nakamori.

"Oh? Why? ”

Naoki Matsumoto explained, "Because this year, Fukuoka City, next door, sent a trainer with ulterior motives to hold his own Fukuoka Duel Tournament in the Nagasaki Duel Tournament, and in order to prevent him from winning the championship, the Nakamori Pavilion Master sent his own proud disciples to participate. ”

"My disciple is no less than me in terms of strength."

Yuka Nakamori once won the championship of the Rainbow Tournament, so although Ryuichi had never heard her name, she had at least an elf close to the racial limit value, and it was even likely that she had a racial limit value elf.

Although she has not taken the most crucial step for so many years, the disciples who have been carefully cultivated have caught up with her, and this competition is not only to thwart the conspiracy of Fukuoka City, but also to make the disciples who have been training hard for ten years officially famous.

Therefore, she said it categorically.

"I'm looking forward to it." Ryuichi said with a smile, his indifferent attitude made Nakamori Yuka quite uncomfortable.

Naoki Matsumoto and Chizuru Kazuru next to him glanced at each other and smiled tacitly.

They all knew that Nakamori Yuka had exploded because he couldn't enter the elemental level for a long time, and he had an inexplicable hostility towards all elemental level trainers, even the grandfather of Chizuru Kawatani.

Seeing that Yuka Nakamori was uncomfortable, the two felt quite comfortable.

……

"The Thunder Falling Beast loses its ability to fight, and the Devouring Beast wins!"

"Towards the north nose loses the ability to fight, the overactive ape wins!"

The knockout rounds on the field are in full swing, one player after another takes the field, one elf after another wins, and one loser after another leaves in disgrace.

Occasionally, one or two players with excellent appearance, or special elves, will usher in the attention of the audience, and the large LCD screen under the judges' room will also magnify the corresponding competition, driving the atmosphere of the scene.

In this kind of fast-paced competition, standing at Long Yi's current height and strength to watch the game, the player's physique and appearance, the rarity of the elves are no longer the targets that can make him focus on, after all, no matter how rare the elves are, can they still be compared with a few divine beasts on his body?

What he values more is the traits that a fighter can express in just one fight, or his own fighting style.

It is only to this day that Ryuichi understands why a trainer like Ash can be favored by many high-level trainers, so knowledge is easy to learn and characteristics are hard to find.

Ash is a trainer with distinct personal characteristics, and this type of trainer is the easiest to civilize when he grows up.

And those trainers who have grown up under similar exam-oriented education, no matter how strong their strength is, no matter how high their level is, in the eyes of the dragon, they are still fighting in confusion.

They just fight based on what they have learned, without thinking about what is the most suitable fighting style for them, what is the most desired fighting style, and they don't even try it.

Is there a chance for such a trainer to civilize the elements?

Some.

But it's very small, and almost all of them are cultivated by luck, and after entering the element level, you don't even know why you are cultivating this element.

It is a pity that such trainers occupy the majority of the trainers in the world, and even most ordinary trainers are on the right path in the eyes of most ordinary trainers.

In the blink of an eye, more than a dozen games were over, and Long Yi didn't even see a trainer who could dazzle him.

"In the fifth game of the fourth court, Eki Ichiro played against Junko Aada, and the two players were invited to appear."

"Here we are." Matsumoto Naoki suddenly said, "Junko Asada is a disciple of the master of the Nakamori Pavilion. ”

When Long Yi heard this, one of the two people on the field was a very ordinary boy dressed to beat him, and the other was a short girl wearing a karate costume.

Obviously, the second is Junko Aada, and it is easy to determine the gender from the name.

"Martial arts?" Long Yi said secretly in his heart.

The two saluted each other, Jiang Qi Ichiro took the lead, he glanced at his opponent's clothing, and decisively sent a big Wang Yan.

"Go, Ice Ghost Guardian!"

However, Junko Aada's spirit is the ice ghost protector of the ice system.

Jiang Qi Ichiro's face changed instantly.

Yuka Nakamori said: "Nagasaki Dojo is an ice dojo, and the elves I am best at are also ice elves, and karate is just Junko's own hobby." ”

"Looking at her clothes, she should have just come to the competition after taking a karate class, but she didn't want to be misunderstood by her opponent."

When the three people next to them heard this, they didn't talk to each other and didn't say anything.

There is no doubt that under the absolute strength and attribute advantage, Jiang Qiichiro was quickly defeated, and he did not even hold out for more than three minutes.

Next, Ryuichi watched the matches of Onithima Senbei, Tomson Huangyan and Meisha one after another, and although the three of them were different, they all advanced safely.

In addition, Mayor Matsumoto said that the player sent by Fukuoka City, Keiaki Honda, also made the cut easily.

Round after round, the number of players changed from more than 300 to more than 100, more than 100 to more than tens, and after each round, the pressure on each player in the next round will increase a lot.

What's more, all of this is done in a mere day, so there are also requirements for the depth of the player's elf pool, and a strong elf alone cannot hold on to a strong opponent round after round.

Finally, from morning to evening, under the bright laser light, the last game of the 32-in-16 round was over.

"The fiery monkey loses the ability to fight, and the hat mushroom wins!" The referee handed down the final verdict.

"I ...... Lost? Tomson Huang Yan stood in place in distraction, watching his opponent and Dou Kasa Mushroom hug together in celebration.

After all, he was still young and lacked sufficient background, so he lost in this game.

And Misa, Chibei Onijima, Junko Asada, and Keiaki Honda have all successfully advanced to the round of 16 in front.

Bang Bang~

Someone patted him on the shoulder, and Tomson Huang Yan turned his head to see the worried gaze of Onishima Senbei.

Taking a deep breath, Tomson Huang Yan said: "I lost, and the rest depends on you." ”

Onishima Senbei nodded vigorously: "Look at me." ”

In the referee's room, Long Yi, who saw this scene, nodded with relief.
