The first round of qualifiers is not over until 120 contestants are decided, but it takes a lot of time to decide 120 out of 2,421 contestants, even if it is only a one-on-one pokemon battle all the time.

Especially with the current lack of battlefield space, this first round of qualifiers will take even longer.

Moreover, with such a large number of participants, the 120 participants in this first round will have to defeat at least 20 opponents to successfully pass the first round of qualifiers.

However, in the process of this big wave, these contestants who successfully fought their way out of the qualifiers are obviously not far worse than any worse, and each of them at least has the strength of elite trainers.

Kaede Sato defeated Junichiro Kimura, a quarterfinalist in this year's Johto League, and he faced off against nine more contestants until lunchtime.

It's a pity that except for Junichiro Kimura at the beginning, who barely has some strength, the nine trainers that Sato Kaede met later are all the type of indiscriminate and full of fun, and he can easily win with only the three pokemon of Flash Big-billed Gull, King Nido and Hercules.

At 12:11 p.m., at this time, Sato Kaede was having dinner with a group of elves at a roadside restaurant near the large battle venue.

Due to the fact that the nearby restaurants were overcrowded today, and because he did not make a reservation in advance, Kaede Sato was unable to book a single private room even if he had the money.

In order not to delay the game because of eating, Sato Kaede can only eat with a group of elves at the open-air table of this high-end restaurant with relatively few customers.

However, with the presence of the giant swamp monster, the big stomach king elf, it is difficult for Sato Kaede to be at the open-air table without being noticed.

At this time, the plates on the table at the open-air table where Kaede Sato was located were already piled high, and the ground nearby was also piled up with various food scraps, and the number of this plate and food scraps was constantly increasing.

"Please, let a couple of people take care of the dishes and food scraps, and by the way, twenty more servings of these seafood skewers, well, a large warm jug of milk and three glasses of frozen orange juice."

Sato Kaede looked at the mountain of plates and food scraps in front of him with a calm face, and when these things accumulated to a certain amount, he immediately summoned a cute-looking waitress and said to her.

"Yes, I'm going to have someone clean up and get the kitchen guy to do it right now."

The cute girl wearing a maid costume and a dinner plate saw the situation at the table where Sato Kaede was, she naturally knew that Sato Kaede was a big guest in the restaurant, and in the face of Sato Kaede's request, she chose to make the best choice without hesitation, and after bowing down to Sato Kaede and nodding in response, she immediately trotted all the way to the store.

After a while, under the surprised eyes of nearby customers, two strong cooks quickly took out two trolleys from the store, and then worked hard to clean up the plates on Sato Kaede's table and the food scraps on the ground.

"Oh my God, that blue-skinned elf is too good to eat, this amount of food should be almost as good as Kirbymon, I feel that his trainer will be eaten by him sooner or later."

"If it were me, it is estimated that he would be poor in a month, damn a big dog."

"This bog monster has twice the amount of food that my six elves eat, did I see a fake bog monster?"

.....

When the nearby trainers who were eating saw the situation on Sato Kaede's side, their eyes jumped, their hearts beat faster, and they began to whisper.

Sato Kaede had good ears, and he almost heard the words of those trainers nearby, but after he heard it, he just smiled slightly, and he didn't care about it.

The Giant Swamp Monster is his ace elf, and as long as it can meet his needs, Sato Kaede is willing to spend more money.

"Sato Kaede, it's really you, how do you look different, thanks to Pichu and the Giant Swamp Monster, I recognized you."

"Ah, Pichu, it's been a long time, you're much older than before."

Suddenly, a somewhat familiar figure came from behind Sato Kaede, and then a blue-haired beauty and an elegant long-eared rabbit appeared on Sato Kaede's side.

At this time, when he was holding a bottle of milk in a big milk jar and drinking Pichu, he turned around and saw who the person was, he immediately threw down the big milk jar milk in his hand, and then flew to the shoulders of the visitor with a happy face, rubbing the other party's cheeks affectionately

"Nanami, didn't you say go to the Carlos area? How did it end up here? ”

Sato Kaede saw the appearance of the visitor, and he immediately recognized that the other party was Dr. Ohki's granddaughter Ohki Nanami, and he did not hide his identity this time, but said to the other party with some surprise.

Before the two parted, he heard the other party mention that he was going to the Carlos area, he had not seen each other in the Oki Research Institute before, he thought that the other party had gone to the Carlos area, but he never expected to meet each other in the city.

"How closed is your news, the Carlos Alliance will not officially start again until January next year, and it's only September, so it's still early."

"As for why it's here? Naturally, it was for shopping, and I stopped by to visit my friends. ”

"I was going to go back yesterday, but who made such an interesting event happen at the Manjin Department Store, so I changed my mind and stayed, but I didn't expect to meet you here."

"By the way, you're definitely there, aren't you? Promise me that you may not be enough to lose before you meet me. ”

"I heard from my grandfather that you seem to have become very strong, I didn't believe it at first, but after seeing your giant swamp monster, I believe it now, this time, let's have a good fight, I will use my strongest elf to meet you."

Nanami heard Sato Kaede admit her identity, and her face suddenly showed such an expression, she first put the reluctant Pichu back to the table, and then crossed her waist with one hand and pointed at Sato Kaede with the other, challenging him.

"Rabbit !!"

At the same time, the long-eared rabbit god beside her made the same action synchronously, and then said a word.

"No problem, if I meet you, I will definitely do my best, and when the time comes, you will not be able to release the water."

Sato Kaede saw Nanami and the long-eared rabbit god challenging him simultaneously, and his face twitched slightly, but when he thought of the opportunity to compete with the fully formed Nanami, his face couldn't help but show excitement, and he nodded seriously and said.

"Uh~, that, can you pay attention to me, everyone has been standing here for so long."

Just as the two of them had completed their battle agreement and were about to talk about something else, a voice full of resentment suddenly came from behind the two.

At some point, a girl with pink hair with a big has come up behind Sato Kaede and Nanami, and at this time she looks at Nanami who is hanging her aside with a resentful expression.
