After some consideration, Eminem and Xiaoxia still stayed at the Quartz Hotel of the Suzuki Group.

Because......

The Pokémon Center is overcrowded!

Trainers are undoubtedly the most interested in regional competitions......

The current Pokémon Center only accepts trainers who hold six or more badges from the Johto or Kanto area in terms of accommodation!

Of course, Eminem and Xiaoxia have no problems, and they can still enjoy free services, but ...... Xiaolan and Yuanzi don't have six badges.

If Xiaolan is serious about challenge, she may have the strength of six badges, but Xiaolan is obviously more inclined to "martial artists" and has little interest in challenging the trainer gym.

As for Uncle Kogoro, in order to "not waste", he went to the hotel that the client had booked for him - the twin buildings themselves have the function of a hotel.

And it is true that this "quartz hotel" of the Suzuki Group is not far from the stadium, and Eminem and Xiaoxia also lived together.

As you can tell from the name of the hotel, the Suzuki Group is quite open here......

After all, there are many mineral deposits and fossil excavations on the quartz plateau, and among the large groups of the quartz alliance, only Suzuki is interested here.

Most of the other groups are just "small industries" in Quartz City, maintaining a façade for the alliance's headquarters......

Before the Twin Towers were built, the Quartz Hotel was the largest hotel in Quartz City.

"There's information! Quartz News predicts that the number of participants in this year's rookie competition will definitely exceed 50 people, and it is likely to exceed 60 people, which is the highest in the past 20 years! "As soon as I got on the elevator in the garden, I saw a news prompt on the illustrated book, so I immediately clicked on it and broadcast it.

She also seems to be looking forward to what the rookie race will look like......

"Sixty? That's quite a lot...... Usually there are not many people up to fifty. Eminem sighed.

In previous years, at the minimum, there were only about thirty traveling trainers competing.

This refers to the trainers who sign up after challenging the gym and obtaining eight badges, and there will be eight academies who will only join in the official stage.

Of course, on the academic side, there were also eight places that were contested after the competition.

Xiaoxia was a little nervous at this time, although she didn't have stage fright, but she was more combative, but ...... It's also a sign of nervousness!

After Eminem noticed it, in order to comfort Xiaoxia, he pretended to say to himself: "But it's not bad, anyway, the qualifiers are still qualifying, and they won't have more than a few games because there are more people." ”

"But the qualifiers are really tiring, there are eight games in four days, and there may be two more games after that...... "Yuanzi is "tired" for Eminem and Xiaoxia.

Indeed, the schedule is still very tight.

Registration on the 25th, followed by two matches per day for four consecutive days from the 26th to the 29th......

Tomato is free to read

Qualifiers are match-based rankings, which means that the opponents are randomly selected at the beginning, but not only will each match be decided, but both sides will also earn "points" based on the number of Pokémon they defeat - no doubt, the most points will be awarded by defeating all opponents!

Every time the opponent is matched after that, it will also be random "within the same score range......

As much as possible, the ranking of the strong will go up and the ranking of the weak will go down, and reduce the influence of red and black hands in the draw.

After eight rounds of matchmaking, a ranking is temporarily arranged.

After that, those outside the sixteenth place will undoubtedly be eliminated, and under this system, they are still outside the sixteenth place after eight games, and it will definitely not be a problem of hand black.

On the 30th, the 9th to 16th players can choose one of the top eight positions to challenge, and the ninth place will start to choose their opponents, and the same position will be challenged up to two times......

Winner up, loser down!

After that, those who are still in the top eight positions will be considered officially shortlisted.

That's why Eminem said that it won't be because there are many people, but more than a few - whether it's 30 people, 60 people, the qualifying matches are all eight, every year.

At this time, everyone walked out of the elevator, put their luggage away, and went to the restaurant floor together......

Yuan Zi had just looked at the explanation of the competition system, and then asked cautiously, "Anyway...... Do you think there's something wrong with the mechanics of this challenge? If I have the strength of the top eight, but have reservations in the qualifying and are ranked ninth to sixteenth, then I can use the power of challenge to make the players who are weaker than me but also have the strength of the top eight be eliminated early? ”

Indeed, if the top eight are challenged and fail, they will directly fall to the challenger's ranking, and there is no chance to challenge!

"There will definitely be loopholes, and what you are talking about is also a tactic." Eminem didn't really care about that.

As long as the performance is outstanding, grab the top three...... Basically, you won't be challenged by the people behind you!

And there is no need to retain strength in the qualifiers, as long as you retain some means of "killing at first sight", after all, a high ranking has the advantage of being high.

That is, the top eight in the qualifiers, and the top eight in the academy, in the first round of the official competition, are in reverse order - that is, the first place here, the eighth place against the academy, the second vs the seventh...... And so on.

Therefore, the best way to preserve strength is to rush to the front in the qualifiers, and then no one dares to pick in the challenge, and the first round of the official round against a relatively weak academy...... That's the most comfortable.

"That's amazing...... It's so big...... It is worthy of the Suzuki Group...... home of the hotel. ”

When I came to the entrance of the restaurant, I only heard some noise inside.

It is said that the occupancy rate is not high at this time......

Eminem faintly felt that this voice was a little familiar, especially when there was an equally familiar voice on the side, trying to stop him!

"Ash, be quiet......"

"It's a shame, don't be like a child!"

Turning his head to the restaurant, Eminem saw the familiar red hat...... And, of course, the yellow mouse.

At this time, in the somewhat empty hotel restaurant, Ash was shouting like a bear child, and the person in charge of the restaurant on the side didn't seem to know whether to stop it or not—etiquette should stop it, in fact...... Now there is no one else in the restaurant, so I will let it go for the time being.

When Eminem was hesitating to pretend not to know and hide, Ash had already discovered Eminem and took the initiative to run over and say, "Eminem, Xiaoxia!" You're there too, huh? Did you also draw a reception ticket? ”

"No, I'm the one who 'draws' the host." Eminem whispered.

Xiao Gang also immediately followed at this time, and greeted Eminem and the others politely - finally it didn't make everyone think that they were all "weirdos".

Of course, this is thanks to the absence of a "royal sister" present.

During the introduction to each other, after hearing the word "garden", the person in charge of the restaurant, who was already familiar with each other, immediately came over to explain with a sweaty face.

"Miss, I'm sorry...... If you and your friends want to dine, there is a separate small restaurant upstairs. The person in charge was afraid that the eldest lady would feel that the scene just now would make her lose face in front of her friends, and specially explained in a low voice: "Ahem...... About the reception roll, it is a previous collaboration item with the quartz alliance. ”

This is to emphasize that it is not that our hotel can't book a room, in fact, the rooms are fully booked after three days!

But in fact, this is the first time he has seen the garden, so he has so many thoughts, in fact, the garden himself didn't feel anything strange at all, and said as a matter of course: "No need, there is no one here, it is equivalent to a big private room!" Hahaha......"

And Eminem specially introduced Conan at this time: "Oh, this is Brother Xiaohao, Conan, and I will be close to your Brother Hao in the future...... When that kind of energy comes up, go knock on Brother Hao's door and see if no one will open it......"

Conan:???

What's the matter? Why doesn't anyone open it?

"No, I don't really like children." Xiao Hao put on a proud face.
