The qualifiers are over, after a three-day break.

The group stage of the Lily of the Valley Youth Competition has officially begun!

The short break is to allow those who have successfully advanced from the qualifiers to the group stage enough time to adjust.

Some of the highlights of the qualifiers made people look forward to the start of the group stage even more, so the heat has not decreased, but has become more popular.

The purpose of the group stage is mainly to be able to pass the final knockout round of 64.

There were more than 200 people who passed the qualifiers, and Xia Yan and his group of people who successfully survived the trial directly entered the group stage, which caused the number of people in the group stage to become a little bloated, directly reaching more than 500 people.

As a last resort, the competition team can only divide all the players who enter the group stage into 16 groups according to the form of drawing at any time, and the number of people in each group is about 32 to 35 people.

The top four of the final group can advance to the knockout round.

The format of the group stage is a double-elimination format.

That is, after the first round of the competition, the winner enters the upper bracket, the loser enters the lower bracket, and if the lower bracket loses again, it is eliminated, and the upper bracket continues to enter the lower bracket if it loses.

Each person has two chances, which greatly reduces the number of particularly good players in the same group who meet early and are eliminated.

At the same time, it also ensures that those who can finally qualify will inevitably be even numbers, rounded up to the top 64 of the knockout round.

However, in order to speed up the progress, each person in the group stage can use one elf, and losing the ability to fight is a defeat.

However, with the existence of a "double-elimination system", it has also avoided some upsets.

If you are upset twice in such a format, then no one is to blame.

When the list of each group and the number of the players were announced, Xia Yan called out the insider!

There's definitely an inside story to this.

Wataru, Daigo, Shirona, Kona, and Tsubaki, as well as people like Rika, Kazuki, Daya, and Gomatsu, none of them were in the same group.

If you want to say that there is no insider, you don't believe it when you kill Xia Yan.

At the same time, he also saw the venue and the number to which he belonged.

Pitch 6, Player Six.

Just looking at the number of the place and the number of the players, Xia Yan felt that he should be stable.

According to the requirements of the competition, the players in the group stage must wait in their respective arenas so that they can be on stage at any time to speed up the progress of the game.

Judging from the number of contestants, the schedule is still relatively tight.

So Xia Yan and the others temporarily separated and went to their respective arenas.

When Xia Yan arrived, next to the No. 6 court, the players were almost all there.

"Hello, is this the sixth venue?"

After Xia Yan arrived, a girl in a white dress gasped, her fair face was slightly flushed, and she asked with a slight urgency as she propped her knees.

"Yes."

glanced at her without a trace.

Although Xia Yan has long been accustomed to getting along with beauties of the level of Shirona and Kona, when he sees this girl, he is still a little surprised.

Well, a girl who is not inferior to Kona and Sirona's temperament.

But that's about it.

Appreciating beautiful things always makes people feel good.

Xia Yan didn't pay too much attention to her, because he didn't have much impression of this person.

He must be an unknown cannon fodder.

That's what he thought in his heart.

The first round of the draw of the group stage was successfully concluded under the auspices of the referee, and Xia Yan became the first player in the No. 6 court with the advantage of the venue number and his own number.

His opponent was a seventeen or eighteen-year-old boy wearing this traditional trainer's attire, similar to Ash's future appearance.

After coming on stage, he seemed very motivated and confident.

"In this game, the No. 6 player Xia Yan will play against the No. 14 player Nosuke, and the players on both sides will summon the elves."

At the referee's signal, Xia Yan and the boy threw out the Poke Ball at the same time, summoning the Poke.

Although the group stage is a double-elimination system, because only one elf can be dispatched, Natsuhiko chooses more cautiously, and he sends Pokkigu.

And the young Nosuke on the opposite side sent a strong crocodile.

Sure enough, as Xia Yan expected, this young man is a proper descendant birth trainer, and the elf is the third generation of the water system in the Johto region, the final evolution of the small saw crocodile, the strong crocodile.

"The battle begins!"

As the flag in the hands of the referee fell, Xia Yan's "Lily of the Valley Youth Competition" officially kicked off.

"Mighty crocodile, frozen teeth!"

Nosuke did not hesitate to take the lead in attacking, but he didn't underestimate Pokkigu's appearance, and used the ice moves of Pokkigu who restrained the flying system.

From this point, it can be seen that the quality of the contestants in this "Lily of the Valley Youth Competition" is still relatively high.

"Yawn." Xia Yan said calmly.

"Chakkota—"

Looking at the vicious-looking strong crocodile, the open mouth of the blood basin was covered with a layer of condensed ice crystals, and rushed towards him, Pokkigu was unmoved, tears squeezed out of the corners of his eyes, and yawned long.

Kiss~~

A small, transparent bubble flew out of the tip of Pokkigu's nose and collided head-on with the rushing crocodile.

At the moment when the drowsy bubble burst, the feet of the strong crocodile staggered, his steps were vague, and his eyelids tended to close slowly.

"Mighty Crocodile!"

However, as a descendant of the Alliance's birth trainer, Nosuke seems to have learned the essence of the Alliance's trainers when they fight.

The output is basically roaring, and the state is basically shouting.

But I have to say, there is still some use.

The crocodile shook its head and recovered from its groggy state.

Pity.

Such a long recovery time is enough for Pokkigu to do a lot of things.

When the crocodile fell into a stupor, Pokquigu took advantage of the momentum, and then drove the arm, and a long string of magic leaves wrapped in magical energy swung with its arm, hitting the crocodile.

The restraint effect of the grass moves has caused a lot of damage.

At the same time, the additional effect of "Sharp Fangs" is triggered.

As soon as the crocodile struggled out of its stupor, it fell into a state of "cringe".

And this time, Xia Yan and Pokkigu didn't give each other another chance, and the clean and neat magic leaf flicked twice in a row, sending away the strong crocodile, and also sent this somewhat stunned alliance boy Nosuke to the losers' group.

Throughout, the crocodile failed to touch a single hair of Pokkigu.

This is a crushing of hard power.

Pokkigu's simple strength is stronger than the other party.

What's more, Pokkigu ......

One is control.

"The winner is No. 6 player Natsuhiko!" The referee raised the flag representing Natsuhiko and shouted, "Please prepare for the next group of players." ”

"Your Pokkigu, you're so cute."

When Xia Yan walked off the field, the girl who asked for the venue number just now looked at Pokkigu who was being held in Xia Yan's arms with an excited face.

"But I'm going to go up and race first."

After speaking, he trotted up to the battlefield.

"Uh......" Looking at her back, Natsuhiko rubbed his chin.

"The next group of battles, by the No. 2 player Nanami Ohki, against the No. 21 player Matsui, please ....... both sides"

Hearing this, Xia Yan's attention was no longer on the words of the game referee.

Big Wood ...... Nanami?

Dr. Ohki, the granddaughter of Yukinari Ohki?

Dr. Ohki, who looks like that, can have such a good-looking granddaughter?

Who could have imagined this.

But when it comes to Dr. Ohki's granddaughter, Xia Yan has a little impression.

He remembered that in the Pokémon special, Dr. Ohki had a granddaughter named Nanami Ohki and a grandson named Aolu, who was dragged down after being the champion for five minutes.

It's just that I don't know if Dr. Oki's grandson in this world is Qinglu or Xiaomao, or in fact, the two can also be regarded as the same person.

After recognizing the identity of this girl, Xia Yan, who was not very interested, paid more attention to this game.

The elf sent by Nanami is a gilly egg.

Seeing this auspicious egg, Xia Yan's first feeling was...... Startled.

Because this auspicious egg is a little too powerful, it gives him the feeling that it is ......

Quasi-Heavenly King Level!

Although it should be the first time to enter the quasi-heaven.

But when this conclusion was reached, Xia Yan almost scolded his mother.

This is a bit excessive.

At the youth competition, he originally thought that the hall master level was already the top of the sky, but he didn't expect that there would be an elf who was only allowed to be a king, and it was still in his own group.

However, as he observed, Xia Yan gradually understood.

Although this auspicious egg is well cultivated, Nanami's actual combat command ability is lacking, and some unreasonable places are that the strength of the auspicious egg is relatively strong, otherwise it may have been defeated.

Nanami's graceful posture in commanding the battle doesn't look like she's participating in some elf battle, but it's a bit like she's having a gorgeous competition.

And, most importantly, this Gilly Egg is not Nanami's elf, although Gilly Egg has done her best to cooperate with Nanami, the strangeness between them is also obvious.

Natsuhiko remembered that this granddaughter of Dr. Ohki, Nanami Ohki, she was not a traditional trainer, and her final achievement should be to win the championship of the gorgeous tournament and then live a peaceful life.

One of her main elves is that there is a Pippi, and this Gilly Egg is supposed to be one of Dr. Oki's previous experiences, in order to support her granddaughter, she asked Gilly Egg to help her take care of some injured elves together.

Therefore, this auspicious egg is Dr. Ohki's, which will give Xia Yan a feeling that she is very rusty.

But this ...... It's also open, right?

Among the people present, there should be a lot of juniors such as the Heavenly King and the Pavilion Master, if these people are all with an elf given by an elder like Nanami, Xia Yan feels that he can retire early.

However, Nanami obviously came from the qualifiers, and she was not stopped by the competition side along the way, so she can only say that she ...... It's because even if Nanami commands this auspicious egg, the strength she shows is really not strong enough, and it doesn't have much impact on the overall game.

Otherwise, it should have been warned by the race party at the first time.

It's miserable, Nanami's opponent at this time.

In terms of combat command and combat ability alone, he has more advantages than Nanami, and his cooperation with the elves is also better, but no matter how many advantages he has over Nanami, he can't make up for the gap in hard power.

The end result is obvious.

Nanami managed to get the win.

Looking at Nanami, who was wiping the fine sweat on her forehead and breathing, looking relieved, when she walked out of the battlefield, Xia Yan was also a little speechless.

"It's dangerous." Nanami noticed Natsuhiko's gaze and said with a smile.

Xia Yan pursed his lips.

Maybe you don't command and just hand it over to the Gilly Egg, it can win faster.

However, it is not without benefits, at least it can accelerate their tacit cultivation.

"It's amazing."

Xia Yan said.

It's not against his will, he said that the auspicious egg is very powerful, not that Nanami is very powerful, but it makes people sound very comfortable.

It's the art of speaking.

"Really?" Nanami looked at him with a look of surprise, her eyes flickering, her face full of anticipation.

It seems that I want to be recognized by others.

"Hmm." Xia Yan nodded.

"Hello, my name is Nanami Oki and I'm from ...... Well, don't talk about it. Nanami smiled and stretched out her hand to Natsuhiko.

The surname Damu is not too little, and it is not too much, but if it is accompanied by the words "Zhenxin Town", it is very recognizable.

Xia Yan pretended not to recognize her, reached out and shook her gently.

"Natsuhiko."

"Xia Yan, you are very powerful, just now Pokkigu didn't let the strong crocodile touch once, and he won the victory." Nanami sighed heartily, "And...... Pokkigou and you have a very close relationship. ”

Nanami has a special ability to sense the intimacy of the relationship between the trainer and the elves, and although it is not accurate, the general feeling is not wrong.

That's why she behaved a little familiar with Xia Yan.

In her opinion, a person who has a close relationship with the elves and gets along closely is not a bad person.

Moreover, it was a happy elf like Pokkigu, and this judgment made her even more sure that Xia Yan was a "good person".

"Chakkota—"

Hearing Nanami's compliments, Pokkigu held his head high, like a winning rooster.

"It's so cute!"

And Nanami was conquered by Pokkigogu's "tsundere" expression in an instant.

"It's a naughty little guy." Xia Yan rubbed Pokkigu's little head helplessly.

Immunity to good words, almost zero.

"But Nanami, your gilly egg is also very strong, very strong." Xia Yan said.

"Really? I think too. But my cooperation with Geely is not tacit enough, it is my grandfather...... It was once the elf of my elders, and now it has been entrusted to me. Nanami said with some embarrassment.

"Tacit understanding needs to be cultivated slowly, and it can't be rushed."

"Hmm." Nanami nodded her head in agreement.

Suddenly, he looked at Xia Yan in a flash, "Xia Yan, you are so strong, can you teach me how to fight?" ”

Xia Yan was stunned.

Then he said slowly: "It is the elf entrusted to you by your elders, I don't think anyone knows it better than your elders." ”

Nanami pouted rarely, "He's too busy to teach me, and I'll sneak out of this competition......"

Hearing this, Xia Yan was stunned.

Let's just say that I didn't hear the news that Dr. Oki had come to Lily of the Valley, and it turned out that he had sneaked out.

After a little muttering, he said: "Well, when the group stage is over, we can discuss it together." ”

Speaking of auspicious eggs.

Xia Yan does have a lot of good tactics, and if Nanami can learn one or two of them, it is not impossible to get a good ranking with this auspicious egg.

Anyway, they're in the same group now, and according to the format, they won't meet before the semi-finals.

Give others a headache.

As for Nanami's semi-finals?

That's a bit of a look down on Wataru and Sirona.

"Uh-huh." Nanami's head is like pounding garlic.
