After winning two games in a row, it was time to take a half-time break.

The preliminaries are divided into morning and afternoon rounds.

There are four battles to be taken to qualify for each final.

Two in the morning and two in the afternoon.

The morning game of the yakusuke is over.

When Jisuke returned to the Pokémon Center, there were already a lot of trainers here.

Miss Joy is constantly busy.

Pokémon that were injured in the Vortex Islands tournament all need to be healed through her.

However, he didn't put any more pressure on Miss Joy.

The scythe and helmet were not injured at all.

Menas Ares's injuries are also not serious, so the murderer can handle it himself.

Now, instead he chose a random spot to sit down and look at Joey, who was busy.

He always felt that this Joey was familiar......

But he didn't know where the familiar feeling came from.

Fierce Suke hugged Ruri and leaned against the wall in the corner.

The trainers in the Pokémon Center now are basically trainers who play one or two rounds.

They are not very strong, and they came to participate in this Vortex Islands Competition mainly to increase their knowledge.

Of course, because they already had a premonition that they would be eliminated early, they didn't feel too sad.

Even because of them, the atmosphere of the entire Pokémon Center is no longer as dignified as it was the other day, but is filled with a relaxed atmosphere everywhere.

Trainers who know each other or don't know each other chat.

Everyone exchanged ways to cultivate Pokémon and shared the cuteness of their Pokémon.

And being friends.

But he didn't join, just in the corner, alone.

"Fierce Suke!" Someone called the name of the man.

Yakusuke looked in the direction where the voice came from, and a figure had already arrived in front of him.

"Ash." Jisuke called his name, even if it was a greeting.

"Jisuke, I've won two in a row! Awesome! Xiaoxia too, won both games. Ash said boastfully.

Jisuke: "Oh. ”

Behind Ash, Xiao Xia and Xiao Gang walked over unhurriedly.

"Are you stupid? Yaksuke must have won both games, so what do you have to be proud of? Seeing Ash's swollen face, Xiao Xia couldn't help but strike, "And you're still lucky, the opponent in two consecutive games is not very strong, otherwise you would have lost a long time ago." ”

Speaking of this, Xiaoxia was a little depressed.

Unlike Ash, the trainers she met in the two duels were not much different from her strength.

In the first game, she sent a newly accepted Pokémon, Sun Coral, to fight.

The attributes of the sun coral are not dominant in the face of water-type Pokémon.

In the end, Xiaoxia barely won by regenerating herself through solar corals.

In the second game, Xiaoxia sent one of her trump cards, the starfish, to fight hard with the Pokémon of trainers from other regions, and it was not easy to win.

This made Xiaoxia not full of confidence in her two matchups in the afternoon.

Why is there such a big gap between people and people?

Xiaoxia glanced at Ash again, and saw that Ash was inexplicable.

"Gunsuke, I just know now that there are so many areas out there, so many trainers, and so many Pokémon that I haven't seen before." Ash sat down across from the fierce and suddenly said with some emotion.

Although he won both of his fights comfortably, he was still impressed by his two opponents from other regions.

"That's because you don't know much." Jisuke patted Ash on the shoulder and said seriously.

Whether it is him or Xiao Mao, the knowledge of Pokémon is quite solid.

And Ash ......

This guy can't even remember attribute restraint.

"I don't know what kind of opponent I will meet in the afternoon, what kind of Pokémon." Ash was full of anticipation and clenched the Poké Ball, "Sawcrocodile must think so, too." ”

"Pickup pickup!" Pikachu also said.

"Wait!" Jisuke stretched out his hand, stood in front of Ash, and said in disbelief, "You're not going to use your little saw crocodile to play the preliminaries, are you?" ”

"What's wrong?" Ash's little face was full of big doubts.

"Pickup?" Pikachu and Ash are surprisingly consistent.

Jisuke sighed: "A large number of people have been eliminated in the preliminaries, and now the remaining trainers are not weak." You only rely on small saw crocodiles, are you sure? ”

You must know that the little saw crocodile is still a Pokémon that Ash only accepted in the Johto area.

"And," Kesuke continued, "when the final of the Uzumaki Islands Tournament comes to the finals, you'll be asked to use two Pokémon to fight, so you're not going to use the little Saw Crocodile to fight against two, right?" However, that is almost impossible, after all, with only a small saw crocodile, you are likely to fall in the preliminaries. ”

"Is there still such a rule?" Ash was shocked!

Without saying goodbye to the murderer, he immediately rushed to the telephone set aside with Pikachu and called the Oki Research Institute.

Xiao Xia was surprised by Xiao Zhi's hairy hands and feet, but she still rushed over.

Xiao Gang had no choice, so he had to keep up.

Yakuzuke has become a person who stays in the corner again.

Suddenly, a figure suddenly appeared out of thin air in front of him.

Slowly, it became clear.

Kirino is back and stands in front of the murderer.

Yusuke stood up.

"Why is it so early today?" Jisuke asked with a smile.

Usually Kirino doesn't come back until the evening.

Kirino shook her head and didn't tell the murderer why.

"Okay, okay." Jisuke shrugged his shoulders and changed the subject, "That's ...... Come and see my game in the afternoon, right? Two more. ”

"I'll win." Jisuke added.

Kirino nodded, and was about to walk towards the outside of the Pokémon Center.

"Not this way." Jisuke took Kirino's hand, "The game hasn't started yet." Now it's time for a break. By the way, are you hungry? ”

Kirino thought for a moment and nodded.

"Then let's solve this problem first." "Then go and take a break." You've just come back tired too, right? Then, come and watch my fight in the afternoon and relax. ”

Kirino nodded, and was led away by the murderer.

……

"Hey, where's the murderer?" Ash asked suspiciously, holding the Poké Ball that had just arrived in his hand.

When Ash and the three of them returned to the location where they had seen him, he was no longer there.

"I guess I'm going to rest." Xiaoxia thought for a while and said, "After all, he has also gone through two battles, and he may be very tired." ”

Then, she said casually, "Ash, are you going to rest?" ”

Ash shook his head and raised the Poke Ball in his hand: "I want to take advantage of this free time to meet this guy and do a simple training at the same time." ”

"Then I'll accompany you." Xiaoxia seemed to say it casually.

"Okay." Ash nodded.

Xiao Gang smiled with relief and left silently.

……

The break is short.

In the afternoon, the fighting continued.
