Page 13 Before the Opening Ceremony

At half past seven in the evening, Merlin and Tatake waited together in the huge and empty field of the main quartz venue, along with more than 200 trainers of all kinds. complete works

Although it was the first time he had stood in such a large arena, Merlin felt a strange sense of familiarity. In his preserved memory, he also stood in a huge arena that was similar but very different in style. It's just that the memories of what happened to Merlin in the arena didn't make Merlin feel very pleasant and comfortable.

Merlin looked around at the familiar faces in the crowd as he tried his best to banish the wavy memories.

Among the two hundred and fifty-six contestants, he quickly locked on Xiao Chi, who had a unique temperament that was difficult to be overwhelmed and covered by the crowd, and waved his hand to greet him. Soon, he also found Xiao Lu and Xiao Mao, the two proud sons of the Da Mu family who were standing together, and waved to them, Xiao Lu quickly responded to Merlin's greeting, but Xiao Mao obviously hesitated for a while before recognizing Merlin and saying hello to him. Searching constantly, Merlin quickly recognized one acquaintance after another, the beast envoy, the top pride, the people who landed on the island, and the small ash of Zhenxin Town were all screened out of the crowd by him.

Seeing so many familiar faces waiting for the arrival of the conference staff with a little nervousness, Merlin was somewhat relieved and sighed. Although there were very few people he recognized as friends, the fact that he was able to know so many humans and maintain a relationship with some of them made Merlin himself admire the extent of his change.

Less self-satisfied. Wizier struck Merlin with a small blow at the right time.

At this moment, dozens of young men and women dressed in staff uniforms quickly ran out of the dark passages around the arena, and they quickly merged into the chaotic phalanx formed by the sparse and sparse groups of two hundred and fifty trainers, and quietly dispersed and stood up.

At the same time, several conference staff members also appeared on the rostrum, one of them held a large loudspeaker, and made a voice with a little electronic tone change to the nearly 300 men and women in the venue: "Players, please take the initiative to obey the arrangements of the staff, we will arrange the phalanx for you to arrange for tomorrow's entrance ceremony, as long as you actively cooperate with our work and keep in mind your position, then our rehearsal will end soon." ”

He said to everyone: "When the staff arranges the positions for everyone, I have a few small requirements and precautions to inform you. Tomorrow's"

Bursts of dry explanations and exhortations came from the loudspeakers overhead, and beside them, dozens of staff members quickly shuttled between the two hundred and fifty-six contestants, specifying that the contestants were arranged in a loose phalanx according to their approximate height. Merlin, because of his small size, was assigned by a staff member to the very edge of the line, near the rostrum and the spectator seats, and then had the honor of being the first in the line

Generally speaking, there are no special requirements and too high standards for the entry phalanx of contestants, at most they simply arrange the order and position, so as not to be messy and crowded together. Please come to see the latest chapter of this book, so after ten minutes, the phalanx will be successfully arranged, and all that remains is to continue listening.

"Then, I repeat it again, please gather in front of the F aisle of the main venue before half past five tomorrow afternoon, and please take the initiative to stand according to the position of the team arranged today," chattered the staff member holding the loudspeaker, "The opening ceremony will officially start at 5:50, and the players will enter the center of the venue after going around the venue at about 6:50 for a week to take the routine oath and speech. At that time, there will be a special staff member who will guide you to the venue for a total of less than 20 minutes, and after the entrance ceremony, please follow the designated staff along the designated passage according to the queue you are in.

Listening to the staff's tireless rambling, Merlin was bored, just looking around and looking absent-minded. Most of the remaining young trainers listened nervously and nervously. Especially a teenager who is inseparable from Pikachu is so nervous that his limbs are stiff, his expression is solidified and sluggish, and he is already in the same state of walking with the same hands and feet.

Ash, Merlin shook his head secretly, the majestic and reckless you on the new island and the current you really can't be compared at all. Merlin, who was so cranky, withdrew his gaze and looked casually at the deep black edge of the walls of the main arena that had merged with the night.

Then, he unexpectedly spotted three sneaky vague figures in a not-so-hidden corner. The inexplicable familiarity of those three figures made Merlin can't help but condense his superpowers to expand his vision, wanting to distinguish who they are more carefully.

How could he wait until Merlin roughly saw the faces of the two men and women who came out in white uniforms at night, and saw a meow that walked on two feet, he was really taken aback.

Taking a few deep breaths and suppressing the emotions surging in his heart, Merlin neatly untied a chief ball from behind his waist and buckled it in his hand, and then threw it straight into the air. The pure white Poké Ball exploded in the air, blooming with a dazzling white light, and through the cover of this burst of light, a dark purple figure that was enough to blend into the night silently flapped two pairs of flesh wings and flew into the night sky.

"What's going on" Merlin's sudden release of Pokémon naturally caused a small commotion, and the staff in charge of queuing also hurried to inquire a few people.

"Nothing." Merlin said with a cold face, "Just let my partner come out and let the wind out." It's time."

Seeing Merlin's cold expression and cold tone that he did well without being deliberate, the staff who were clear about Merlin's identity immediately lost the courage to continue to investigate, and said nonchalantly: "Please don't disturb the order like this again, it'll be over soon." "After that, the matter was over.

On the contrary, Merlin, who had been paying attention to the darkening night for the rest of the time, had almost completely ignored the staff's rambling and chatter.

Ten minutes later, after finally rehearsing the formation, telling all the precautions, and disbanding the top 256 on the spot, Merlin found Tawu and told him that he wanted to go back to rest first, and he disappeared in an instant. Only Tatake was left in place, sighing vigorously at the convenience of the superpowers.

But of course Merlin couldn't really go back to his room to rest, he had more important things to do, more important people to meet.

In a secluded glade far away from the venue, Musashi and Kojiro, dressed in the white uniforms of the old Rocket Corps, which had been obsolete, and Meowmeow, who spoke human words and walked on its hind legs, sat helplessly on the grass, hugging each other, shivering as a huge dark purple four-winged bat silently hovered above their heads, and the three of them trembled even more violently every time the giant bat cast its shadow on them.

Around the two-person meow group, a total of five Pokémon fainted on the ground with circles in their eyes, such as Aba Monster, Double Bullet Gas, Big Tongue, Big Eater, and Iron Shell.

"Little, Kojiro, hurry up, call your tyrannosaurus out," Meow Meow, who was hiding in the arms of the two, said intermittently in a voice that mixed thin and rough, "I—We can only rely on it."

"Yes, yes," Musashi chimed in, trembling, "and we're all left." ”

"However, the mood of the tyrannosaurus has been unstable, and once it is released, it will be a few of us who will be injured." Kojiro hesitated for a while and was still reluctant to release the tyrannosaurus, "Besides, I don't think the tyrannosaurus can defeat this terrifying bat." ”

"I have to give it a try" Meow Meow suddenly raised her voice, "This guy keeps saying that he wants to suck up and empty the blood of a few of us, and if he doesn't resist, he will really die."

"That's right" Musashi suddenly remembered something, her eyes lit up and she said loudly, "Meow, you're also a Pokémon."

"That's right," Kojiro's eyes also lit up.

"I'm sorry for you," the two guys tacitly grabbed both sides of Meowmeow's shoulders at the same time, and at the same time threw it hard towards the four-winged bat that was still hovering in the air, and then immediately turned around and closed his eyes and ran away.

"Meow, I'm sorry" While closing his eyes and running wildly, Kojiro choked up, "Thanks to your blessing, we can escape and ascend to heaven, your great kindness and great virtue I Kojiro will never forget"

"Uh-huh, we'll remember your kindness" Musashi also sobbed.

"Hey, I said you two, at least open your eyes when you run away" But at this moment, Meowmeow's voice came from the air behind them, and it said angrily to the two guys who were running in place with their eyes closed: "You two big fools"

"Who do you say is stupid" Musashi and Kojiro stopped at the same time, turned back and fiercely rebuked Meow Meow.

"Of course it's the two of you" Meow Meow, who was imprisoned in the air by superpowers, looked at the two with her arms crossed and squinted her eyes, and responded-for-tat: "In addition to the two of you, who else will there be any stupid people around here"

"You guy" Musashi immediately exploded when he heard this, and ran towards Meowth with his teeth and claws, seemingly ready to fight it hand-to-hand. But no matter how Musashi moved his legs, he just walked in vain.

"Musashi, don't, don't make trouble, we're annoying" or Kojiro noticed that something was wrong, he stumbled to reassure Musashi, and at the same time observed the situation of himself and Musashi, and finally realized that the two of them had been floating in the air since I didn't know when.

"Ah" Musashi finally found the unusual scream as well, "What's going on"

"Actually, I'd rather ask that question," Merlin said as he slowly stepped out of the shadows of the trees, looked at Kojiro who was trembling with nervousness, and said, "What the hell is going on, my Kojiro brother is wearing the uniform of the Rocket Corps"

"Hey, Kojiro, is it your acquaintance" Musashi hurriedly asked.

"No, I," Kojiro said incoherently for a while, "There aren't many people who call me Brother Kojiro, and besides, this voice seems to be a little familiar."

When Merlin's short, inconspicuous body emerged from the shadows, and when his face was clear through the sparse foliage, moonlight, and starlight above his head, Kojiro finally recognized Merlin.

"It's you," he screamed, "Merlin"

━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━━

Don't mention last week's experience.,It's all tears.,It's really sorry for not being able to update.,I'll try to make up for it this week.

Then, congratulations to Kojiro and Merlin for recognizing each other~~ Who still remembers the foreshadowing planted before~~ In other words, if the trio of Team Rocket are drawn into Merlin's team to form a military situation, it should be acceptable, I will conduct an investigation, but even if everyone agrees, I'm afraid that the official entry into the team will be rolled up, at least after Sister Musashi changes to Sure Weng~~~

Then, the Pokémon held by the Team Rocket trio will be a little different from the original, and a lot of new ones will be added, which can be regarded as a small enhancement. The new ones are basically the ones that Musashi and Kojiro had a chance to accept in the TV version
