Two days later.

Bang ——!! Bang ——!! Bang ——!!

Manaro Arena.

Brilliant fireworks bloom over the arena and are reflected on the sea, presenting a picture of two flowers blooming.

Helicopters hovered over the open-air arena.

The faces of the trainers were full of different colors.

"Fortunately, it was just in time, the 'Isles Tournament', which is said to be the first tournament held in the Alola region, and it will definitely go down in history!"

"That's a lot of people! It's so exciting to think about being able to play against them in the same arena! ”

Trainers from all over the world are proud and excited to catch up with this competition.

This "Isles Tournament", according to the requirements of the Federation, must not be more than 20 years old, and you need to have collected eight badges, regardless of the region.

This is enough to filter out most of the people.

There can be a large number of trainers flocking to it.

"I heard that this Manaro Arena was built by the Aether Foundation in a short period of time?"

Looking at this lively scene and the wide venue, Du couldn't help but sigh.

The Manaro Arena, which originally belonged to the "Manaro Tournament", was also built in advance.

"Yes, although the Aether Foundation belongs to the Alola region, it has already had certain connections with the rest of the world before the Alola region is fully opened." Daigo said.

As the young owner of Devon Corporation, he is well aware of the strength of the Aether Foundation.

But in fact, the most closely related to the Aether Foundation is the Sinnoh region.

Their "AR system" was developed through the materials collected in the library of Watervein City, as well as some of the help of the Sinnoh Alliance.

The "Little Arceus" Silver Companion War Beast is the best proof of this.

Xia Yan looked down at the "Competition Manual" in his hand.

"The Manaro Arena is only the main arena, but because there are so many players participating, you need to pass the audition in the sub-arena before you can enter the main arena to compete, and now it's just the opening ceremony."

Although the entire Manaro Arena is said to be an arena, it is not much different from an artificial island.

The Manaro Arena is the theme, and there are about a dozen small arenas around it.

And each arena includes: rock, water, ice, grass, four major terrains, which arena each will be in, but also depends on the lottery decision.

In addition to these arenas.

Of course, there are others.

For example, commercial streets, shopping streets, snack streets and other commercial streets.

There are also different housing areas such as tourist quarters and athletes' residences.

Xia Yan, who has hosted a "German Small Cup", does not know too clearly about the benefits involved.

Don't look at the huge cost of the Aether Foundation to build such an artificial island, but with the popularity of this event, not to mention the complete return of the cost, it is still possible to return more than half of it.

The big heads are all ads for companies big and small.

For example, at this time, at the top of the arena, a few big words "Made in German" are the advertising space of the Daigo family.

The Ethereum Foundation wanted to develop the "Ultimate Ball", and partnering with a large Poké Ball manufacturer was the quickest way to do it.

Devon and Silver are both their choices.

That's why Daigo came not only to participate in the competition, but also to meet and discuss with the president of the Aether Foundation, Rusa Mina.

And the Manaro Arena can be used for other matches after this tournament.

It's easy to get your money back.

It will even become a major source of income for the Aether Foundation in the future.

"You watch first, I'll leave for a moment." Xia Yan noticed the corner, said a word to a few people, and left.

"Go ahead."

Now Natsuhiko is not only a player, but also the deputy director of the "UB Countermeasures Department".

Interpol in the Alola region was asked by the alliance to participate in the emergency security work of the competition, even if it was the "UB Countermeasures Department".

"Minister Lila."

Corner.

The person who called Natsuhiko was none other than Lila, the head of the "UB Countermeasures Department".

"Natsuhiko." Lila nodded in a friendly manner, "The one you sent over last time, Barnett has already tried it, and it's very accurate, this kind of equipment will help us too much, and the next tasks will definitely give you credit."

Xia Yan smiled and waved his hand, "I should do it." ”

"Barnett said, just these days, the Ultimate Cave could appear at any time, so I'm here to inform you that while it's important to participate in the competition, as Interpol, it's our duty to protect most of our talent."

These days?

"I understand, if there's anything you need, Minister Lila, call me directly."

"Good! I'm relieved when you say that. Lila's serious expression narrowed slightly.

"Also, I hope you can get a good result, this competition is not easy."

"I lend you good words."

Looking at the back of Xia Yan leaving, the handsome guy who was standing silently behind Lila frowned and said, "What if Xia Yan is in the game?" ”

Lila glanced at him, sighed, and said, "I just want his attitude, try not to bother him if I can." ”

"Got it....."

"I've already said hello to the 'bait' operation, let's get ready to cast the bait!"

"Yes!"

...

...

"Haven't started yet?"

Return to the players' box.

Nu Nu mouthed.

On the stage, Dr. Oki, dressed in a white coat, was giving a speech.

"Dr. Oki?" Xia Yan was stunned.

"The contest is held in the Alola region, but the organizing committee is not all from the Alola region, and it is said that two cousins, Dr. Ohki and Naiya Ohki, will serve as the chairmen of the organizing committee." Kona explained.

With Dr. Oki's character, he is indeed trustworthy.

The Aether Foundation was the right choice.

When Dr. Ohki finishes speaking, it will be Naiya Ohki.

As the respected dean of the Elven Academy, Naiya Oki has been fully recognized by the people of the Alola region.

It would have been more convincing if he hadn't spoken with those strange expressions.

And after the two.

The speaker on stage was the president of the Aether Foundation, Lusa Minay!

The cheers she gave on her appearance showed how famous she was throughout the Alola region.

After all.

Both Lusa Minay and the Aether Foundation are under the banner of "Protector Elves".

And the Ether Foundation has indeed benefited the entire Alola region to a certain extent.

One after another, some members of the organizing committee took the stage.

Some of them are known to Xia Yan, and some are unknown to Xia Yan.

But.

With his status as half of Dr. Ohki's apprenticeship, he and Naiya Ohki are also half at the same time, and Rusa Mina...... Rusa Mina also plans to invite him to join the Aether Foundation...

So it seems.

It seems that several bigwigs of the organizing committee have a good relationship with him.

This game.

That's it.

After a while.

After all the committee members finished speaking, under the announcement of the host, the contestants could finally go to the venue they were assigned.

And in the Manaro Arena, dozens of huge screens appeared.

The picture of each sub-field is presented.

There are no spectator seats in the sub-venue, so this arrangement can also avoid some unnecessary troubles and prevent potential safety hazards.

At the same time, the players can concentrate more on the game.

...

...

After the opening ceremony.

Natsuhiko went to the venue he had been assigned.

There are more than a dozen sub-arenas, but Xia Yan and the others are not assigned to the same place.

There was someone who was in the same direction as him.

"Mr. Xia Yan, are you also in this direction?" Mikoli asked, holding the "Water 3" label in his hand.

"yes."

Xia Yan shook the "Water 1" label in his hand.

The field of water, Mikoli's home field, is not very beneficial to Xia Yan.

"I've always wanted to thank Mr. Xia Yan, but unfortunately there aren't many opportunities to meet."

"Huh?"

"Beauty."

Xia Yan was stunned.

That's right, too.

After the results of the evolution of the ugly clownfish into Menas were announced, it was not only Sirona who profited, but also Mikoli.

And it's not just Menas.

Rather than traditional elven battles, Mikoli prefers gorgeous tournaments.

After Daigo stepped down, Mikoli took over as the champion, and there was also a reason why the league wanted to promote the Gorgeous Tournament, and Mikoli was the best sign of the Gorgeous Tournament.

"Just call me Xia Yan, you're welcome."

"In short, Xia Yan, the next time you come to Hoen, you must inform me."

"No problem."

Xia Yan stopped in front of a venue, "I've arrived." ”

"Then let's wait until the main game to continue talking."

"Okay."

The two separated.

Xia Yan walked into the venue.

And when Xia Yan came in, the players who had arrived in the stadium showed two completely different states.

"Mr. Natsuhiko, I'm your fan!"

"Mr. Xia Yan, please sign for me!"

“...”

Another part.

"It's over, I'm actually in the same venue as 'Master Tactician' Xia Yan."

"There are not many qualifying places, and there is one less place before it starts."

"It's decided, strive for second!"

“...”

The format of the qualifiers is simple.

In a more basic 2v2 mode.

Not doing 1v1 is to prevent someone from suddenly becoming a dark horse, which is embarrassing.

2v2 is a bit slower than 1v1 though.

But fortunately, accidents are rare.

Under the command of the referees and staff, the competition fields were soon in full swing.

And in the audience at the Manaro Arena, the audience also gave the greatest support to the players they supported.

Just by looking at the supporters in front of the screen in front of each arena, you can know that those players are favored.

Among them, the most supporters are none other than Wataru, Daigo, Sirona, and Natsuhiko.

When he first participated in the "Lily of the Valley Youth Competition", Natsuhiko was just an ordinary trainer with no name and no supporters, and now the number of supporters he has is not inferior to Daigo and Sirona.

Even, faintly there are more people who have attracted more attention than them.

"Master Tactician", "Genius Researcher", "True Hero", these titles, big and small, have already earned Xia Yan a large number of supporters.

Supporters from all regions, all walks of life, and all professions.

...

...

Midday.

Because it was the first round of preliminaries, there were too many people participating in the competition, so it was finally Natsuhiko's turn near noon.

"Mr. Natsuhiko is finally playing!"

"It's finally here, I'm dying of hunger."

"I want to see tactics, Master Xia Yan, I want to see tactics!"

“...”

Whether it was the spectators at the Manaro Arena or some of the players in the arena, they all came to the spirit.

Standing opposite Natsuhiko, Berridge from the United Territories twitched the corners of his eyes.

He wanted to smash the sign he had drawn.

I want to cry without tears.

Why was your luck so bad that you ran into Xia Yan?

"I'm just an ordinary trainer, am I wrong that I want to make it past the first round of the preliminaries?"

He was a veteran trainer who had collected eight badges from the United States region and participated in the Hiragaki Tournament.

There are several ace elves with elite-level strength in their hands.

But these elves are too insignificant compared to Xia Yan.

During the "Lily of the Valley Youth Competition", although he did not go to the scene, he has always paid attention to Xia Yan, and he also paid a lot of attention to Xia Yan.

I don't say it's a fan, but at least I have a good impression.

"It's so miserable that one person ....."

"Berridge was the round of 64 at the Lily of the Valley tournament before."

"It's a pity that I ran into Mr. Xia Yan."

Xia Yan looked at the other side who was sweating profusely before the battle began, and said with a smile: "Don't worry, I'm not the main elf." ”

"Huh?" Berridge froze.

Not on the main force?

Maybe there's a chance!

In case of......

What if he really wins Natsuhiko?

Concern! Flow rate! A fan of someone! Money......

It was as if a bright future beckoned to him.

After taking a few deep breaths, his eyes suddenly became determined.

Fight!

If you lose, you don't lose, you win and you earn blood!

"Not on the main force? Mr. Xia Yan is really good! ”

"I can't help but be the main force! What if, what if? ”

"Is there any tactics to look at?"

The audience naturally heard Xia Yan's words and expressed their positions one after another.

At the referee's signal, the two of them each threw out their own Poké Balls.

Berridge summoned a double-bladed pill, the evolutionary type of the initial three water otters in the United Region, and the elite-level strength.

"Bu Te ~~"

Eevee sat on the floating platform in front of Natsuhiko, yawning lazily, scratching his ears with his hind feet.

The water field is a pool with several small floating platforms scattered on it.

"Eevee! It's so cute~~"

"Worthy of being an 'Ibrahimovic expert'."

"Heterochromatic Eevee."

"But how is Ibu going to fight with the Twin Blade Pill in the Water Field?"

"Eevee?"

Seeing the elf summoned by Natsuhiko, Berridge's eyes lit up.

Maybe there's a chance!

"Double-edged pills, go into the water, shell blades!"

I saw the water rat double-edged pill quickly disappear on the surface of the water.

With two scallops in his hand, he quickly approached Eevee on the floating platform.

"Meditation." Xia Yan commanded unhurriedly.

"Bu Te ~~"

Eevee's eyes glowed with superpowers.

Taught by Hu Di's "meditation".

Hmmm-

And Eevee's unscrupulous "meditation" naturally gave the Twin Blade Pill the best opportunity to attack.

As Berridge clenched his fists excitedly, the "Shell Blade" of the Twin Blade Maru brushed over Eevee.

However.

In his stunned gaze.

Eevee turned into a white light and disappeared into Natsuhiko's waist.

Then another Poké Ball opened, and the red light shone into the water, and the ugly ugly fish with a dull expression spat bubbles in the water.

Take the baton!

A very common "baton-taking" tactic.

But the elves sent by Xia Yan surprised the audience.

The most common ugly ugly fish!

The ugly fish that was complained about like the carp king.

Berridge and Twin Blade Maru were also surprised.

But Xia Yan's command in the next second stunned them.

"Ugly fish, dragon fluctuations!"

You're a fish!

However.

The ugly ugly fish looks a little dull, but the use of the move is not satisfactory at all.

The ugly ugly fish that inherited the increase of "meditation" directly rode the face of "Dragon Wave".

"Iron Tail."

Following the "Dragon Wave" face ride, the metal tail slapped the face of the double-bladed pill.

The snapping sound woke Berridge from his vision.

Recognize reality.

"Shhhh

This slap made the audience feel painful.

The Twin Blade Pill loses its ability to fight!

After a set of combos, the double-edged pill was unable to parry, and he directly lost his combat ability.

That's right.

Although Xia Yan's ugly ugly fish didn't take it out to practice, it didn't mean that he hadn't trained it, and his strength had reached the elite level.

Plop –

The ugly fish fell into the water, silently spitting bubbles, and his expression was indifferent.

Now its sluggishness and sluggishness are already "indifferent and calm" in the eyes of others.

The Twin Blade Pill is Berridge's strongest elf, and after it loses its ability to fight, the next one becomes easy.

Xia Yan easily won his first victory in qualifying.
