Above the foothills.

Noisy crowds lined the road, happily waving colorful flags in their hands.

"Come on! Come on! ”

"Kashiwagi, I'm rooting for you!"

"Ahh

As a flame runner, Kashiwagi breathes gently and runs against the wind, and the torch in his right hand is as stable as if he had a spirit level.

Behind him was a massive Bosco Dora, its heavy silver-colored metal armor glistening in the sunlight, making it look like a moving chariot, making the ground tremble with every step.

The thick double horns slashed at the sky, and the blue pupils precipitated a calm and unhurried bearing.

Many onlookers looked at it at a glance, only thinking that this metal giant beast was daunting, and when the other party passed in front of them, they even subconsciously held their breath.

It wasn't until Boskodora ran away that he came to his senses.

Scary?

No, in fact, this part of the people is just more sensitive to the sense of oppression caused by the strength of Boscodora.

They can become obsessed with Pokémon battles, and it is precisely because of the aura released by powerful Pokémon that stimulates their bodies, and then secretes various hormones that make them feel stimulated and excited.

In other words, it's like participating in extreme sports that are dangerous.

Of course.

This was just a small episode that happened when Kashiwagi passed the sacred fire.

The real protagonist is still the torch in his hand, the drone in the sky, the convoy blocking the road in front of the road, and the onlookers on both sides are firmly locked on the torch at this moment.

The reporter in charge of the live broadcast patiently told the camera about the origin of the flame, then publicized the past events of the Rainbow League, and handed the microphone to the hosts in the live broadcast room.

And so on and so forth.

Until the flame arrives at the entrance of the venue.

All kinds of media rushed up to take pictures frantically, and the reporters praised the breathless Kashiwagi in a raised tone, as well as the guard-like Bosco Dora behind him.

"After a 15-kilometer jog, Kashiwagi is still very calm, showing his extraordinary physique and canting skills, let's look forward to his performance at the conference!"

At the same time.

Guided by the three Miss Junsha, Kashiwagi safely carried the torch into the safe deposit box.

He deliberately looked at the people and things nearby.

I didn't see anything suspicious.

Come to think of it, stealing the Holy Flame has also been done by the Team Rocket trio for so many years, and ordinary thieves will not let themselves become the target of public criticism even if they want to become famous.

What's more, there are not enough enthusiastic trainers who attack the flame of the conference?

"Good work, come on!"

With the blessings of the Junshas, Kashiwagi and the others meet in the rest area on the second floor of the Pokémon Center.

Xiao Gang has collected a lot of information about trainers and big sisters through various channels in recent days, and he can't wait to share it - just the former.

"There are a lot of powerful trainers in this class, you need to pay attention."

He clutched a palm-sized notebook filled with the names of many trainers and commonly used Pokémon.

Alice listened attentively and nodded repeatedly, "Oh! ”

Kashiwagi asked Polymon II to compare it with the information collected by Xiao Gang to see how much it was similar and how different it was, so as to make a more detailed information book to share with Alice.

Knowing oneself and knowing the other side can win all battles.

This sentence played a pivotal role in the Pokémon battle.

After all, Hatsumi Kill and Intelligence Warfare are the two most commonly used tactics in the Gym War.

Before each challenge, he uses the information he gathers online to enhance his knowledge of the Pokémon commonly used by the owner and create a strategy for this.

And apart from knowing the evaluation of the hall owner in the last gym battle and a little Pokémon information, the hall owner basically doesn't have much information that plays a decisive role.

The information gap between the two once caused the Kashiwagi Dojo to fight exceptionally smoothly, and often a single Pokémon got the badge without falling.

"In short, I have to guard against it!"

Xiao Gang's tone was serious, but after turning to the next page, he became informal, "The next one, ahem, the next beautiful lady is from Kena City, her favorite color is pink, and her favorite food is ramen......"

Kashiwagi tugged at the corners of his mouth, not too interested in listening to this guy show XP, and silently took out his phone and opened it.

On the screen is a teenager about fourteen years old.

Ryukia saw the corner of her eye, leaned over and glanced at him, "He's your opponent in the preliminaries?" ”

As soon as I said that.

Man Chong and others also looked at it curiously.

Kashiwagi nodded and said, "It's quite strong, I used to participate in the Sinnoh's Lily of the Valley Conference." ”

After the arrival of the flame.

The Rainbow Conference has entered the initialization stage.

Similar to the process of the conference in the simulator, the players must first participate in the preliminary round, and the 256 people who advance to the main competition are determined from more than 500 competitors.

The preliminaries format is one-on-one singles, and the winner is determined by one game.

The opponent is determined by the computer and is completely random, giving the player only one day to prepare.

After Kashiwagi registered the Pokémon to be used in the morning, the opponent had already decided, and Polymon II took the opportunity to dig up the person's information-

In the past few years, there has been a lot of interaction between regions.

As a Pokémon trainer, you haven't been to a convention or two, and you're too embarrassed to speak.

And what kind of results were obtained in the end, not to mention for the time being, the Pokémon that often brought around me have more or less accumulated some strength.

Kashiwagi's preliminaries are just such an elite trainer.

"Anyway, cheer each other on!"

He threw a fist at Alice.

Alice was stunned for a moment, then smiled and bumped fists with him, "Oh! ”

——

Next.

A small arena at the outermost end of the venue.

As the preliminaries kicked off, the long-awaited spectators took their seats one after another.

Fifteen arenas will be competing at the same time, and 256 players will be selected for the first day of preparation, which is quite enough time allotted.

Kashiwagi was very lucky to have the first battle to take his turn.

And because the list of players and the specific venue of the competition were announced on the Internet yesterday, the number of spectators in his arena was quite terrifying.

Theoretically, Kashiwagi doesn't have many fans in the field of trainers, but the recent announcements on various platforms of the General Assembly Secretariat have made others interested in him.

Everyone is here to visit.

He doesn't feel much as a person to be followed, and he has long been used to being stared at by a bunch of people, but his opponent seems to be flustered because of this.

Is it social fear?

That's not going to work, boy.

You're going to have to get me off to a good start.

Kashiwagi pinched the Poké Ball, and last night Minoru Yama specifically told him that he had to win his first game.

No matter how strong or weak the opponent is, no matter which tactic he decides to use, he must fully embody his strength in the simplest way possible.

Propaganda tasks are trouble......

Ask for so much.

He sighed to himself, his gaze swept to a certain part of the audience, and Rukia and Xiaoguang looked at him excitedly as if they were wearing cheerleading uniforms.

But Kashiwagi didn't pay much attention to the two of them, and only looked at Bogaman and Tanabata Bluebird, who were also wearing cheerleading uniforms.

Sure enough, cute Pokémon are also cute in human clothes.

No wonder so many people buy the skins of the Pokémon Great Assembly.

When you think.

The referee's shouts were heard throughout the arena.

"Now the qualifiers between Kashiwagi players and Katsukatsu players are about to begin, and the Pokémon that can be used by both sides is one, and if the Pokémon of either side loses the ability to fight, the game is over-"

There was a pause.

"Game on!"

Tick –

With the sound of a loud flute, the two sides of the game throw Poké Balls forward.

Bang bang!

The light flickered.

Pokémon are decided at the time of registration, but the players don't know which one each other will choose, so Kashiwagi is a little looking forward to Katsukatsu's selection.

If nothing else......

The white-haired ape with a raging flame on the Heavenly Spirit cover fell to the ground, and a pair of big blazing eyes were full of battle intent.

It looked at the three fierce-looking dragons opposite, and a threatening roar sounded in its ears:

"Woo ——!!"

"Quack!!"

Not to be outdone, the Flame Monkey grinned, baring its white sharp fangs at the three dragons, his fists clenched as if ready to attack each other's heads at any moment—

And that's exactly what it does.

Kesheng: "Sonic punch!" ”

Scold!

The Flame Monkey exerted force on his legs, and in the blink of an eye, he rushed to the side of the three evil dragons.

Twist your waist, turn your hips, and punch!

Burst out of a white fist like the speed of sound!

Z-bang!

A cloud of milky white energy exploded on the left head of the three evil dragons who didn't seem to react, and turned into gray-white smoke after the energy burst, bursting and spreading.

Hit!

Kesheng's face was overjoyed, but he didn't expect the tentative attack to easily hit the opponent.

Could it be that Kashiwagi is like some people on the Internet say, just playing the kind of exhibition game of the gorgeous competition is more powerful? Yesterday, I watched those Pokémon in the video, which are obviously quite fierce!

Or is this Pokémon a little weaker?

It's a shame that he was scared by so many Kashiwagi fans just now!

"Woo ga!"

The Flame Monkey deftly jumped back two steps and watched the smoke float in front of him.

The audience was in an uproar, on the one hand, admiring the blazing monkey's ultra-fast punch speed, and on the other hand, curious that Kashiwagi didn't order the three evil dragons to dodge, and the latter didn't react at all when he was punched.

Could it be that you will be knocked down with a punch?

And when Kesheng was looking forward to the results of the Flame Monkey Sonic Fist, the audience was curious about the situation.

Whew~Whew~

The smoke cleared.

I saw the three evil dragons stay in place, slowly flapping the six flaky wings, and the majestic posture made the audience in an uproar, and the expression of Ke Sheng, who was a little proud, quickly stiffened.

Not...... No response?

He and the Flame Monkey stared at each other in impassivity. Even the eyes cast by the three evil dragons were full of sarcasm, and they were so shocked that they couldn't be more stunned.

Sonic punch is certainly not a particularly powerful move, but it shouldn't be without a reaction at all, right?

The audience was also particularly curious about this, and their eyes were glued to the venue.

Kesheng frowned and said, "Close combat!" ”

I don't believe you can take this trick unscathed!

"Woo ga!"

The Flame Monkey screamed angrily, and the brown-red flames on its body suddenly jumped towards the three evil dragons, as if they were haunted by the fighting spirit condensed by the fighting flames.

Whoever ever thought that it would move, the latter also flapped its wings vigorously.

Call!

The wind is howling!

The three dragons suddenly climbed higher and flew higher into the air, causing the Flame Monkey's melee swoop to fall short, forcing them to look up and see where it flew before pursuing.

Ke Sheng's eyes were originally looking at the three evil dragons, but out of the corner of his eye, he saw the earth slowly crumbling under the feet of the Flame Monkey.

His pupils shrank!

"The power of the earth."

Kashiwagi gave the first command since the opening.

Kesheng frantically shouted, "Flame Monkey! Get out of the way! ”

It's a pity that the command didn't outspeed the orange-red glow that rose beneath the cracked ground!

Bang!!

The surging ground attribute energy surged out like a volcanic eruption, and the terrifying power instantly blasted the stunned Flame Monkey into the sky!

The flames on the surface of the flame monkey's body collapsed, and they let out a sharp howl.

"Bah-"

The situation that was in the hands of Kesheng just now was reversed in an instant!

However.

The three evil dragons in the sky didn't intend to let go of the flying flame monkey, only to see its three heads inhale deeply at the same time, and its chest swelled like a balloon.

At the moment when they reached a certain tipping point, the three dragons opened their mouths and roared like roars at the same time!

"Woo ——!!"

The dragon of energy mixed with the flames of three colors rushed downward!

Kesheng was powerless to stop it, and could only watch as the Flame Monkey was engulfed by a hideous colorful flame dragon as it fell to the ground!

Rumble!

The ground shook wildly.

With a deafening explosion, the devastating flames burst open to form a huge vortex of fire that rumbled and swirled across the field!

One part of the audience was stunned, while the other part waved their flags and shouted, cheering non-stop.

The terrifying dragon fluctuations of the three evil dragons shocked their hearts, as if they were giving a vicious disadvantage to all those who had questioned Kashiwagi and its strength just now.

Inside the field.

The flames dispersed.

Ke Sheng stared at the figure standing in the smoke, and couldn't help but shout happily: "Flame Monkey! Are you alright—"

As soon as the voice was spoken.

As if hearing his call, the figure staggered and fell, revealing faint eyes.

Seeing this, the referee did not hesitate to raise the red flag symbolizing the Kashiwagi side, "The Flame Monkey has lost its ability to fight, and the three evil dragons won, and the one who advances is - Kashiwagi Player!" ”

"Woo ——!!"

The three dragons roared with their heads up.

There were excited cheers from the audience again.

Although the three dragons and the flame monkey have not been fighting for a long time, the former's strength has been shown in many ways.

Patience - do not move even after a punch.

Mobility – Reflexes much faster than Flame Monkeys.

Aggressiveness - The combos of Earth Power and Dragon Wave are watertight, giving Kesheng no room to fight back.

Kashiwagi dared to make that kind of vow at a gorgeous large-scale celebration, and he was sure to be confident!

Countless reporters excitedly photographed the posture of the three evil dragons and the flame monkey, of course, more importantly, the breezy cypress, how much strength did the flame monkey of the Kesheng contestant force out the three evil dragons?

Everyone was curious.

And Kashiwagi was secretly relieved when he saw the warm atmosphere in the arena.

I think it can meet the needs of Minoru Yama, right? He also specially selected the three evil dragons with the most flamboyant personalities to participate in the battle, and their forms may not be as cool as Super Evolution.

But when it comes to the voice, it's definitely the biggest!
