Seeing Ash, Shosuke brings Ruri and prepares to surprise Ash.

As for the other few Pokémon, just stay in the room.

Yakusuke believes that none of them are troublemakers.

The Thorny Ammonite Assassin doesn't like to move.

Scythe Helmet Ken Hao doesn't like to move without an order from the murderer.

Menas Ares was beside the Sword Hero and the Assassin, and he didn't like to move.

The bell rang and did not dare to move.

However, Kesuke still told a few Pokémon to take care of their new friends.

Then, Jisuke walked out of the room.

In the corridor between the rooms, there are several trainers.

After Jisuke walked out the door, everyone nodded to each other and did not communicate.

Kosuke also continued to walk down the hall.

When I came to the Pokémon Center Hall, it wasn't like the first day I came.

There aren't a lot of people.

Some are on the phone, teleporting their other Pokémon.

Some gathered in twos and threes to discuss in small voices, while being wary of their surroundings.

And there are still quite a few trainers in line.

Yakuzuke saw Ash and the others at the end of the line.

Without rushing up to say hello, Yaksuke came to a corner first, waiting for Ash and them to finish the formalities.

After Jisuke sat down, Miss Joy, who was handling the formalities at the front desk, seemed to glance at it slightly.

But he didn't notice.

His attention was all on Ash.

Practice makes perfect, Joey handled it faster and faster, and it didn't take long for it to be the turn of the three of Ash.

Fastest Responsive ......

It's Xiao Gang!

When he reached the front of the line, he rushed towards Miss Joy before she could speak, and was about to clasp her hands tightly.

However......

This time, Miss Joy avoided it.

Not only Xiao Gang, but even Xiao Xia was stunned for a moment, and then reacted, grabbing Xiao Gang's ears and "throwing" him aside.

It was also the first time for him to see Xiao Gang's performance like this, and he was stunned.

He had traveled with Xiaoxia Xiaojian, but he had never traveled with Xiaogang, but he didn't expect him to be so inside under his steady appearance.

Ruri was very unhappy and covered Kesuke's eyes with a rattan whip.

Such a man can't learn.

"So, who's going to compete in the Vortex Islands Tournament?" Miss Joy asked, when nothing had happened.

"I, Ash of Shinshintown."

"And me! Xiaoxia in Hualan City! ”

Ash and Kasumi said together.

Miss Joy operated for a while.

After completion, she continued to explain to Ash Xiaoxia: "The preliminaries will start tomorrow and last for two days. There are 32 fields in the preliminary round, and this is the map of the field. ”

Miss Joy took out two manuals and handed them to Ash and Xia, respectively, and said, "Ash is in the 29th arena, and Xiaoxia is in the 30th arena." ”

Kosuke remembers that he was 16 in the field.

At least the preliminaries won't run into Ash Xiaoxia.

After Ash took the map, he asked Joey, "Excuse me, how many preliminaries are there?" ”

Miss Joy patiently explained: "The Vortex Islands tournament uses a single-lose rule, that is, if you lose one game, you will be eliminated, and there is no chance of resurrection. Only 64 trainers made it past the preliminaries to qualify for the finals. ”

"In other words, only two people from each preliminaries' venue can qualify for the finals." Thinking of this, Ash and Xiaoxia glanced at each other.

"Don't be eliminated in the preliminaries." Xiaoxia said with a smile.

"You are." Ash will not admit defeat!

Miss Joy hasn't finished yet, "Every year, the number of matches in the preliminary round changes depending on the number of participants that year, but this year, depending on the number of participants, you will need to pass about 4 matches before you can participate in the finals." ”

"Four games, that's not ......," Ash began to calculate.

And the murderer has already come up with the answer in his heart!

"The number of participants, more than 1,000!"

Although the vast majority of people are "focused on participation", this number still startles the murderer.

At least in terms of numbers, it's a big event.

Joey sighed in his heart: Fortunately, this year, the Vortex Islands official saw that the flow of people was too large, and sixteen new preliminaries venues were built, otherwise it would be even more troublesome.

If the previous 16 venues are matched, the preliminaries will be much longer than before, and even the finals may be affected.

After more than half a year in the Vortex Islands, Joey still understands the importance of the Vortex Islands Competition to the Vortex Islands.

"Four preliminaries......" Yaksuke tapped his fingers lightly on the table, thinking about the question.

The rules of the Vortex Islands Competition are that the preliminaries will be one-on-one, and the finals will be two-on-two.

Because it's one-on-one, if your Pokémon is not strong enough, or if you happen to match the opponent's ace in order to hide your Pokémon, which is not very strong, it's easy to overturn.

Although it is generally unlikely that you will meet a strong opponent in the preliminary round, it is not impossible.

Moreover, because the interval between the preliminaries is very short, if the Pokémon is injured and does not recover in time, it may also affect its own strength.

These are critical questions.

Fortunately, the three Pokémon of the fierce are quite strong, so don't worry too much.

But Ash's words......

Shosuke is going to remind Ash later.

With his reckless nature, it's hard to figure it out.

Raising his head, Yasuke looked in the direction of the front desk.

It's just that......

Ash and the others are no longer there.

Miss Joy is handling the formalities for a new trainer.

Ash: Where did they go?

Did you go to the room?

Is it really not appropriate to meet today?

Just as Jisuke thought so, Ruri shouted at him.

"Boom!"

"Ash, they didn't go inside, but outside the Pokémon Center?"

"Cool!"

Although he was a little puzzled by Ash's choice, he still ran towards the outside of the Pokémon Center.

Outside the Pokémon Center, Yakuzuke saw Ash and the others.

of the back.

They walked very fast, and the direction was clearly towards the city of Caco.

What are they anxious about?

Naturally, the reason why they were in such a hurry turned out to be ......

"Faster, faster!" Xiaoxia urged!

Such a good event, she hasn't gone shopping in Caco City yet!

She won't allow it!

"Xiaoxia...... Slow down...... "Ash is going to be exhausted."

Xiao Xia glared: "If it weren't for Ash, you wasted so much time in the middle, I wouldn't have been in such a hurry!" ”

Ash didn't dare to speak anymore.

If she speaks again, Xiaoxia is about to explode.

He could only cry out silently in his heart.

Soon, they arrived in the city of Caco.

Xiaoxia in the "riot" mode, even the murderer almost didn't keep up.

It's horrible.

After strolling through one street after another, a small child suddenly appeared in front of the three of them.

"Are you also the trainers who participated in the Vortex Islands Competition?" He asked with some eagerness, but with a hint of anticipation.
