Despite the fact that the three dragons are very hard-working.

But the final effect did not reach the extent that Minoru Yama expected.

"Is it because I didn't come up with a super evolution?" Kashiwagi sits on a single sofa in the bedroom with sun coral, and the phone is placed on a small table next to it, showing the call.

Minoru Yama: "No, it's because your current popularity is starting to hit a plateau."

For more than two weeks since the grand celebration, the publicity against him has hardly stopped, and in the repeated mentions, the reaction to his name on the Internet has become tired.

Many people started to pay attention to other players.

For example, a girl in the land of dragons who saved a little girl who fell into the water before the game, and fled the scene from the tree like an ape.

I didn't get to meet.,Ilima, who is very popular among the girls.。

There are also a bunch of elite trainers who don't know each other, but whose strength is recognized by many people.

On TV, this Caiyou conference is called a hundred flowers blooming, and Kashiwagi only hopes that it will be true as it is said on TV.

"Bottleneck, ......"

Minoru Yama: "But it's nice that the fan base is fixed. Just keep playing and I'll take care of the rest."

Grades are the foundation of all popularity.

So this young man only made requirements for the program effect of the preliminaries.

"Why are you more nervous than me?"

Kashiwagi could faintly hear the slight anxiety under Minoru Yama's comforting tone on the phone, and said with a smile: "Then you don't believe in my strength?" ”

Minoru Yama: "It's not that I don't believe you...... Suddenly, I felt a little emotional, and when I used to challenge the competition, I always thought that I would definitely win, but I didn't expect that there would be a mountain high."

Recalling the first time we met at the Yellow Iron Arena, the narrator introduced the excellent results obtained in the three regional tournaments.

In other words, none of them won.

It can be seen that although Minoru Yama is a trainer specializing in superpower attributes, his talent in combat is not too good.

However, the ability to do domestic affairs is too strong.

Not only will Huang Tiezhen be prosperous, but he can also take into account his side, develop the Oulei region from both internal and external aspects, and it is not a lie to take the example of Loz, the president of the Galal Alliance.

He smiled: "Hahaha, put a hundred hearts, town elder, my strength is not comparable to you!" ”

『…… I thank you.'"

After a brief conversation, Kashiwagi hung up the phone.

The long-awaited three dragon farts came over to ask for praise, "Woo ~ Woo Throat ~!" ”

Its voice was dry, it should have met the trainer's expectations, right?

"Keep up the good work!"

Kashiwagi grabbed its big head in the middle and rubbed it back and forth like a dog, which stimulated the three dragons to bury their heads and sneeze several times in a row.

The sun coral on the former's knees inexplicably felt that they were being attacked by a "torrential rain".

Sun Coral: "......"

Sure enough, normal Pokémon and livestock can't coexist!

Fortunately, the trainer quickly cleaned it, and even applied maintenance wax, so that the appearance of the oil was shiny.

Looking at the sun coral shell that could vaguely see the figure, Kashiwagi nodded with satisfaction, after more than half a year of hard work, this guy's shell was finally succeeded by him.

Tsk tsk.

He ignored Sun Coral's disgusted candle eyes, a little proud.

Minoru Yama called this time, not to report on the results of the publicity of the preliminaries, but to tell him that Otsuka and the others, who were scheduled to come to Hoenn to watch his competition, boarded the wrong boat.

Originally, I took a direct ferry, but I ended up on a luxury cruise ship that sailed all the way to Guanto.

Incomprehensible.

Can you make a mistake if the ship names are not the same?

This bunch of guys is ridiculously stupid as always.

Anyway, if there is no other way to do it halfway, these guys are expected to catch up with him to win the cup...... That's good, at least I'll be able to see him somewhere other than Orray.

After Kashiwagi made sure they were safe, he didn't care.

Although they are still nominally the bosses of this group, a group of adults who take the wrong boat don't give them a braincase, and they specially begged Hupa to pick them up?

Learn your own lessons and increase your memory! Bad luck is also part of travel!

And Yama Minoru saw that he didn't mean to send that magical Pokémon to pick up people, so he didn't say anything more, and the boss of the rainbow team didn't care what he cared about.

in the living room.

The big-mouthed baby is watching TV.

However, no matter how it changes the channel, the picture is the opening ceremony after the preliminaries yesterday afternoon.

"Boom!"

It was somewhat dissatisfied.

Kashiwagi walked over and touched its head, and said, "Okay, play with your mobile phone, why doesn't the TV station broadcast this kind of big event?" ”

Hearing that she could play with her mobile phone, the big-mouthed baby decisively dropped the remote control and ran into the bedroom.

This guy ......

Kashiwagi tugged at the corners of his mouth and looked at the television showing the opening ceremony.

Yesterday afternoon.

In the heart of the conference.

A solemn symphony reverberated in the sky, and countless colorful balloons and streamers pierced the sky, and tens of thousands of spectators were in anticipation.

More than 200 contestants rushed in, enjoying the shouts from all directions.

They were nervous, excited, boldly waving to the audience, or sneakily looking left and right, stepping onto the prepared stage with a hundred emotions.

Suddenly.

Someone ran out of the passage with the flame held high, and the audience erupted in loud cheers at the moment of appearance!

It was Kashiwagi, who was the last of the torch runners.

He steadied his way up the long stairs to the top of the core hall, and threw the flame into the huge brazier as everyone watched.

Bake!

Huge fireworks burst into flames and illuminated the venue at dusk.

Dama Lanqi stood at the front and delivered a speech in a subdued voice.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the Flame Bird's Flame is here to watch over you, please enjoy showing your full strength on this platform!

"In order not to leave any regrets in life, let's fight with dignity!"

Wow!

The deafening applause spread throughout the arena.

Kashiwagi retracted his gaze and glanced at his watch.

"It's almost time."

The first round of the main event, also known as the preliminary tournament, will be announced.

The format is a three-round battle under the doubles rule, that is, you can choose two Pokémon to participate in doubles, and you can win all three games in a row to get the final victory.

And the doubles battle happens to be a feature of the Hoenn League conference, and it is not seen at all in the general conference.

Backbite!

The phone rang softly.

It was a group list from the Pokémon Center.

"Arena 13 ......"

Kashiwagi glanced at his opponent and was about to ask Polyman II to find out the data of this person in the database, when there was a thud outside the door.

He opened the door, and three little girls, a boy as delicate as a little girl, blocked the doorway, each holding a fragrant golden pineapple bag in his mouth, and a large plastic bag in his hand.

"Bought it back!"

Rucia shoved the pineapple bun under his nose as if it were a treasure.

"It does smell good, hard work."

Kashiwagi nodded.

Among the many delicacies in Caiyou City, this conference-limited pineapple bun can be regarded as a treasure that must be tasted, and Xiao Yao has eaten it and said that it is good.

Rukia rarely got up early to get up in line to buy pineapple buns, and dragged other people, but Kashiwagi was talking to Minoru Yama, and she didn't bother.

As for why five people and four people came back......

Presumably the one who sells pineapple buns is a beautiful big sister, right? Someone's squinting eye fell there.

Kashiwagi said to Alice: "The group list has been sent to the phone, you remember to read it." ”

"Huh? Is it already here? ”

Alice excitedly took out her phone and flipped through it, Rukia and Xiaoguang curiously stepped forward, and the three girls huddled together.

Man Chong was also curious, but he was too embarrassed to lean over, so he could only look at Kashiwagi.

The latter was amused by his gaze, "Polymon II.!" Cast to your TV! ”

"Smack!"

Polymanine II. responded, and the long list suddenly replaced the television picture.

The three girls also looked over, after all, the mobile phone screen was still too small, and the three heads were not enough to squeeze.

When finding their respective playing venues and opponents.

Rukia said happily: "It's good that you didn't play at the same time!" ”

Although the original intention was to watch the game to play, Rukia and the others also wanted to help Kashiwagi and Alice as much as they could, so that they didn't have to worry about other things.

"Half an hour between races! That's enough for us to run a few round trips! No problem at all! ”

No problem, Miss said with a grin.

Man Chong didn't say anything about it, he was a little afraid of Rukia.

Because after yesterday's game, after Kashiwagi looked at Rukia's cheerleading uniforms, he suddenly smiled and asked why don't you make him one too, so that the picture is neater.

He thought Kashiwagi was joking, so he complained that he didn't care.

As a result, last night Rukia ran over to measure his measurements!

Full of horror, he ran downstairs and hid for almost two hours overnight before he dared to go upstairs, and this morning he was woken up by Rukia to buy pineapple buns and hid in the toilet and didn't dare to come out.

It wasn't until Rukia apologized that she showed her head.

But.

He secretly felt that Rukia was a thief, and even instigated Xiaoguang and Alice to form a camp.

Unfortunately, there is no evidence to be sure.

——

Afternoon.

Thirteenth Small Race.

The first round of doubles in the main draw is a match.

In just ten minutes, the huge arena was full, and countless people stared at the two players who were preparing in anticipation.

"That's a lot of people."

Kashiwagi rubbed his hands, almost overwhelmed by the frenetic crowd as he entered.

Thankfully, the security of the General Assembly Secretariat was in place, and he was peacefully escorted into the arena to prepare himself and his Pokémon.

Obviously, these fans who surrounded the road to the point of being impassable are the regular fan groups that Minoru Yama called, so how many people in the audience came to visit?

And how many of them came for his opponents?

Kashiwagi looked up at the other side, and it just so happened that his opponent, the green-haired young man in a strong suit, was also staring at him.

The two smiled happily, conveying friendship.

According to the analysis of the current information of the Multilateral Beast II, this person's current exposed strength can be ranked in the top 50 among all the players, which can be regarded as a relatively robust one in the Fishpond Competition.

When Kashiwagi was the owner of the pavilion, he met many similar trainers, and he believed that he could fight a battle that came and went.

Well......

Isn't that a bit arrogant?

He saw the referee holding the two flags in place, got up and walked towards the trainer's seat, and the other party was also a little impatient to come to the designated position.

The referee looked at the two.

The voice of the narrator was heard on the radio.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the first match in Arena 13 will be Kashiwagi from Huangtie Town and Kobei from Kataguri Town!"

Kataguri Town is located in the Sinnoh region, and it has only appeared in the anime, and it is also the residence of Princess Salupia, who is similar in appearance to Hikaru Koko.

As in the preliminaries, the Pokémon selected by both sides are registered before entering the venue, and cannot be changed at will unless there are special circumstances.

So when the referee raised two flags, both sides threw the Poké Balls directly.

Bang bang!

Four white lights flashed.

On Kashiwagi's side, Polymon II and Galel Suncoral appeared, and the latter grunted and rolled many times before stopping, drawing laughter from the audience.

What are these two Pokémon? A stone that looks like a toy duck and a stone full of holes?

Many people have seen the Sun Coral of Polymon II and the Galar region for the first time, and at first glance they think that Kashiwagi has accidentally misplaced a Pokémon.

It wasn't until the narrator explained the origin of Polymon II and Sun Coral, and that Polymon II floated from the ground and Sun Coral stretched out its smoke-like tentacles.

And the opposite.

Xingbei released the dragon king scorpion with a vicious expression and the shuttlecock cotton with dandelion essence, looked at these two Pokémon that he was completely unfamiliar with, and was stunned when he heard the voice of the commentator.

It's not any of the ones that have appeared before!

He has also done his homework, and many people on the Internet have searched for a list of Pokémon used by Kashiwagi, and even made a list of the moves and tactics used.

But there are no Polymon II and Galar Sun Corals in that document!

Inside the grounds.

Seeing Kobei's bewildered expression, Polymon II.'s round eyes immediately bent into two crescents.

There is no doubt that the information about the trainer and his companions was voluntarily revealed and disseminated by Kashiwagi on his behalf, and due to the excessive detail and professionalism, the scattered information collected by others was very few to be viewed.

All run to refer to it.

It was sure that the human, Kobei, had read the material and done its homework.

"Bang Li~"

The trainer is really amazing!

Polymon II.'s overjoyed expression was captured on camera and put on the big screen, and many viewers couldn't help but think that this strange Pokémon was a little cute.

And Sun Coral glanced at the big screen, the corners of his mouth turned down, tired and unloved.

It hates to fight under the attention of so many people, and it finishes the game early and leaves the game early, and by the way, it asks for a pineapple bun to eat, and the trainer buys quite a lot.

Sun Coral thought to herself.

Meanwhile.

The referee lowered the bicolor flag held aloft, "The game is on!" ”

For!

The rapid sound immediately woke up the stunned Kobei, and he quickly gave the order, staring at Kashiwagi who was quick to give the order in the distance.

"The dragon king scorpion uses a point! Shuttlecock grass with a tailwind! ”

Unfortunately, the arena was too noisy, and the other party was too far away from him, so he couldn't hear what the instructions given by Kashiwagi were.

The moment the two trainers gave the order, the four Pokémon began to act almost synchronously.

The first to shoot was shuttlecock cotton.

The Pokémon, which looked like a blue balloon with three dandelions planted in it, floated into the air, and a faint white wind rolled up behind it.

The dragon king scorpion then quickly plunged its front paws into the ground, and the claws at the tip of its long tail stabbed at various parts of its body in succession.

Orange-red currents rose from beneath it, symbolizing that one of its abilities was worth improving.

It is difficult to tell with the naked eye which ability has been improved.

Fortunately, the Pokédex has the ability to detect the current status of the registered Pokémon, and the contestants are not prohibited from digging the Pokédex, as long as they do not interfere with the Pokémon competition.

Kobei gave a quick look—

Velocity! Well done!

He unconsciously showed joy.

The next moment.

With the bright eyes of Polymon II, four blue rays of light rose from the edge of the field, constructing the entire field into something like a transparent glass house.

【Trick Space】!?

Kobei was dumbfounded.
