At noon, Xiao Yu blackmailed Kaoru for lunch on the pretext of soothing his wounded heart.
Since it was a treat, the pseudo-mother naturally couldn't accept the free children's meal from the elf center. The reason is very valid, but it is ......
"Huh? Can trainers eat for free at the Pokemon Center? I didn't even know before? The red-haired trainer asked with a look of surprise.
Poof--The heart that had been inserted with an EX curry stick was poked into the voice of a pair of cadres Mo Xie......
"Eating at this store? I rarely eat at a restaurant of this grade...... I don't know if I can swipe my card......" The red-haired trainer looked at the family restaurant in front of him, his face hesitant.
Poof--The sound of Mo Xie's heart being stabbed into a spear that pierced the death thorns, which had already been inserted with an EX curry stick and a pair of dry generals......
"You ask me how I eat in the wild? To be honest, I'm not very good at cooking, so most of the time I order takeout......" The red-haired trainer was a little embarrassed to show the puppet girl the special takeout recipes of the top restaurants in his backpack......
Puff puff - has been inserted...... In short, the hearts of many murder weapons ushered in a treasure rain from a certain king's treasury......
"Ah, what's wrong with you, Xiaoyou?" Kaoru curiously patted the pseudo-lady who was kneeling on the ground in gray and white, "What is this white thing floating out of your mouth?" β
β¦β¦
As a result, Xiao You and Kaoru still ate takeout - a luxury seafood sushi gift box delivered by a motorcycle from the nearest top sushi restaurant, at least half of the ingredients in it made Xiao You unable to name it, so that the impression of takeaway has always been limited to the pseudo-mother of K Kee Mai Kee Bixke with tears in her eyes: it turns out that sushi, a sashimi and rice thing, can be made so delicious......
Even the little elf Nine-Tails also piggyback-on-ground and the fire rock rat enjoyed a meal of the highest-grade elf canned, and the nine-tailed fox also had a sad face: what if such a high-level elf food can't be eaten in the future......
"Trainers who signed up for the Fire Elf Contest 'Goblet of Fire' are beware......" Loudspeakers placed all over the street suddenly sounded, successfully diverting Xiao Yu, who was hesitating to put down his pride and lick the plate. The preliminary round of the competition is about to begin, so please gather in the square in the center of the town, and we will explain the rules of the preliminary round......"
"It's finally getting started!" Kaoru jumped up from the roadside bench excitedly, "Let's go to the square, Xiaoyu!" β
"Yes...... Xiao You got up reluctantly, and finally gave up the plan to lick the plate......
Coming to the square in the center of the town, a large number of trainers who are ready to participate in the competition have already gathered here, and all kinds of fire-based elves have gathered together, especially those elves who are born with open flames in a certain part of their bodies, just like lighting a small stove in the square, making the temperature rise a lot out of thin air.
"......" Xiao You glanced at the fire rock rat that Kaoru was carrying beside him, fortunately, the flames above this guy's head and behind his ass could be extinguished......
A big sister dressed as a maid walked over with a smile on her face and handed Xiao Yu and Kaoru a number plate each. Xiao Yu glanced at it, and the number on it was "O89", and Kaoru's was "O88".
On the makeshift platform in the square, a middle-aged man dressed as a personable butler was holding a microphone and standing in front of a map explaining the rules of the game: "...... The next preliminary round will be held in the forest east of Hinata Town, and the contestants will enter from different directions of the forest. In the forest, there will be staff arranged by the organizer to hide as 'challenged', and the contestants need to find them and play elf battles with them......"
"That is, the organizer has chartered the entire forest?" Xiao You whispered with some surprise, "It's worthy of being a local tyrant, what a big deal......
Kaoru next to him showed an inexplicable expression: "Huh? I think it's ordinary, huh? β
Xiao You's face was black: "Okay, I forgot that you are also a local tyrant......"
ββ¦β¦ During the match, the contestant can choose whether the pokemon used by the 'challenged' is a fire-restrained pokemon, and the player will receive corresponding points after winning the battle - three points for the pokemon who choose to restrain the fire, and one point for the pokemon who choose not to restrain the fire......"
"Ah......h I already knew that I would have chosen Heiruga to take with me - that guy knows the tooth of thunder, and it is more convenient to deal with the water elves.
"During the entire battle, the contestants can only use the elves they brought when they registered, and they can only use the props provided by the organizer...... "No matter whether a pseudo-girl will regret it or what, the introduction of the rules of the housekeeper uncle on the stage is still continuing." The preliminary round will last until dark, and the top 32 players with the highest scores will be selected for the official round after they leave the forest, including those who have lost their combat effectiveness in the middle of the game......"
"Oh? It's interesting......" Kaoru said with a slight nod, "In this way, the trainer will have to choose tactics according to the condition of his own pokemon, whether to challenge the opponent who is restrained in the attribute to get high points at once, or to defeat the opponent who is not restrained in a row and win by numerical superiority......"
"Not only that," Xiao Yu also added, "You have to know how many of these so-called 'challenged' people there are, whether there is a difference in specific strength, and the number and effect of the restoration props provided by the organizer...... These are all things to consider. β
"It should be noted that the butler said again," said Uncle Butler again, "during the preliminary round, it is not forbidden for players to fight against each other, on the contrary, the winner of the battle between players can get half of the loser's points and unused recovery items...... Of course, in order to avoid malicious swiping behavior, we will monitor it for a certain amount of time......"
"Oooh!" This rule made Kaoru the battle maniac excited, "This is even more interesting!" β
"Uh......" Xiao Yu looked at the faint commotion of the participating trainers around him and shed a drop of cold sweat, "I can foresee what kind of bloody rain and cruelty will be in the forest when I wait......"
ββββJet Flameββββ
Again, the organizer of the competition is an out-and-out local tyrant. So hiring a dozen buses to transport one or two hundred trainers to the edge of the forest is not worth mentioning at all, and there is no pressure at all......
Xia Cheng Kaoru Children's Shoes, who is also a local tyrant, even expressed a certain disdain for him: "If you really want to be generous, you will use a helicopter to airdrop the contestants into the forest......"
"......" Xiaoyou said that the thinking circuit of the local tyrant is really very different from that of the common people.
Before entering the forest, Xiao You, like the other players, received a recorder to record the points of the game: a palm-sized thing that looked a bit like a pokemon illustrated book; There is also a special prop for recovery provided by the organizers: five small bottles of disposable healing spray - it is said that this thing can be converted into points if you keep it and don't use it, one point for each bottle.
Because the player's number plate numbers are close together, the location where Xiao Yu and Kaoru entered the forest was separated by random scrambled numbers, which made the red-haired tomboy girl who planned to work with Xiao Yu to rob the other players' points very disappointed.
After entering the forest, Xiao Yu first looked around, and then unsurprisingly, cameras installed on several trees appeared. It is conceivable that the entire forest must be covered by such cameras - such a large amount of money, of course, to monitor the progress of the game at all times, to prevent players from cheating or accidents.
"Okay, let's start looking for those 'challenged' next......" Xiao Yu nodded and muttered to himself. Now that the competition has just begun, it is impossible for any player to have even a single point on him, and at this time, it is undoubtedly an idea to go to the player to fight after his head has been stepped on by Kentaro.
A minute later......
"Uh, may I ask ......" Xiao Yu looked at a "tree" in the bushes in front of him with a black line. "Are all the 'challenged' hiding levels as bad as you?"
It's a good idea to hide in the forest, disguise yourself as a tree, right...... But what is it like to disguise yourself as a coconut tree in a forest with such a temperate climate? And the leaves of this "coconut tree", which is less than two meters high, are painfully hung with discounted price tags that are too late to tear off......
ββ¦β¦ Basically, the 'challenged' is about the same level of disguise as me. The "coconut tree" turned around, revealing a camouflage-painted human face. After all, the point of this competition is not to find people...... Well, now that you've appeared, I'll have to accept your challenge - do you want to choose a restrained pokew or a non-restrained one? β
"Do you need to ask?" Xiao You looked at the two Poke Balls that the "Coconut Tree Monarch" took out, and replied without hesitation. "Of course, it is necessary to refrain from it!"
"Okay, then ......" Coconut Tree nodded and tossed the PokΓ© Ball in his right hand, "Come out, Rumblestone!" β
"Oh?" Seeing that the other party released a big stone ball with thick arms and pimples all over his body, Xiao You was a little surprised. "I thought the restraint elves would be all water? Looks like I was negligent. β
"But if it's on the ground, I'll be easy to deal with." Xiao You patted the Nine Tails beside him, raised his hand and pointed confidently, "Let's go too, Yang Yan!" β
