"Newcomer?"

A slightly hoarse voice sounded, and Kashiwagi and the three evil dragons looked sideways in unison.

A middle-aged man in a cowboy hat with a sleek-skinned body stood not far away, followed by a skinny red-eyed red-haired marmot who appeared to be wearing a fluorescent vest.

Sentry rat, Alert Pokémon, a treasure that has no existence on ns.

There are many gamers who joke that it is responsible for building the Pokédex, but there are not a few people in the Pokémon world who like it, after all, it is an excellent helper whether it is surveying burrows, glowing guards, or cultivating farmland.

The middle-aged man showed a hearty smile: "I saw you over there who seemed to be very confused and separated from your friends?" ”

Confused?

Kashiwagi and the three dragons looked at each other, did they just look confused?

He shook his head and replied, "No, I came alone." ”

"Alone, you're a tourist?" The middle-aged man looked at the three huge and terrifying dragons in surprise, usually followed by this kind of Pokémon, and it was very likely that it was a trainer.

Kashiwagi shook his head again and said, "No, I have a membership card to participate, but it's my first time here. If I could, I would like to ask, are there any special requirements for being on this list? ”

Seeing that the other party seemed to be very familiar with this place and was very enthusiastic, he simply clarified the situation and questions.

The smile of the middle-aged man suddenly warmed up, and he said: "Of course there are requirements, anyone can participate in the qualifying round, but if you want to be on the leaderboard, you must win at least ten games." ”

"Win 10 games...... I see, thanks for the clarification. Kashiwagi thanked him, and politely stretched out his hand and asked, "Didn't ask?" ”

"Zak, from the city of Canvas in the United Territories, where there is a small mine. I came to Ouray to see if I could buy mining and mining rights. ”

Zack shook his hand, and without waiting for him to introduce himself, he smiled and said, "Speaking of which, little brother, you look a little familiar!" ”

"Familiar?" Kashiwagi was stunned for a moment, and looked at the other party's face carefully to confirm that he didn't know him.

I've never seen it before.

Zack continued: "That's right, it's a bit like the famous Kashiwagi last week, I watched a little bit of his battle video from others before, and his big-mouthed baby is amazing!

"It's a pity that I heard that he is a teacher in Huangtie Town, and he doesn't accept other people's invitations to fight, and it is estimated that he will not be able to come to Xionghuang Tower, which is really a pity. Hahaha! ”

Zack burst out laughing.

Kashiwagi pulled the corners of his mouth and laughed embarrassed twice: "Haha......"

"By the way, where did the little brother come from?"

"I'm a native of Aurey."

"Natives? I can't see it! ”

"I just came back from Hoenn for less than a month, and the natural environment over there is good, so it's more supportive."

"Oh~ Hoen! A great place indeed! ”

"Well, my name is Kashiwagi, please take care of me."

“……”

“……”

The two stared at each other and did not speak for a long time.

The three dragons and sentry rats collided and looked at each other's trainers, tilting their heads as a question mark appeared on each other's heads.

"Huh?"

"Milu?"

After a while, Zack put away his messy expression and said with a wry smile: "Little brother, are you kidding me?" ”

"If it is fake, there is only one number in the world. I hope you forgive me for the offense. Kashiwagi didn't expect the other party to be so fast, so he said a little before he introduced himself.

Of course.

He had a chance to interrupt halfway through, but why didn't he do it?

Kashiwagi thinks that it is very likely that the Hopa guy brought the Geng Ghost, and the Geng Ghost brought him to cause it, and the so-called Pokémon with a heart and a trainer will become more and more similar, which is not unreasonable.

"It's okay, it's okay, I'll let you see the joke." Zack sighed with emotion: "I really didn't expect to meet the rumored trainer, everyone said that you can only go to Huangtie Town." ”

The slap in the face came too quickly, and when it was raining heavily a few days ago, he was drinking and chatting with a few familiar trainers in a bar about Kashiwagi.

I heard someone say that cypress wood came to the Xionghuang Tower, if you abide by the rules here, you may not be able to climb to the top of the rankings.

"Come here and do something."

Kashiwagi didn't say much, thinking that it was hard to come anyway, the time was still loose, so it was better to go on the ranking list and leave.

Zack saw that he didn't know much about the Male Yellow Arena, and he was very enthusiastic about explaining what he needed to be aware of here as a trainer.

Similar to the battle towers that reward BP points in the game, after reaching the ranking list in the Yellow Tower, you can get points for each battle you win, and the points can be exchanged for many items sold in the Tower, and some people buy points privately with money.

Other words.

This is a place where you can make money from battles.

Compared with the alliance conference with a long cycle and complex conditions, the Xionghuang Pagoda is particularly popular because it comes quickly and has no strings attached.

"I see, spend money to earn money."

Kashiwagi saw a hint of the Yellow Tower's desire to attract foreign trainers and make them stay on their own.

Is it really Elteus's plan to transform the Yellow Tower into a Battle Tower?

He thanked Zack for his enthusiasm and went to the front desk to sign up for the competition, aiming to complete ten matches within the day to reach the ranking list.

"Hey, hey! I'm going to have to share it with those guys to show it off! Zack looked at Kashiwagi's back and muttered to himself as he pulled out his phone to contact his familiar friends, telling them that he had met the rumored Kashiwagi.

However.

The news spread much faster than Zack had expected.

Not long after Kashiwagi had just registered, still waiting for the first match, Zack's phone was already flooded with ringtones and news vibrations.

At the same time, the hall was constantly flooding with trainers, and in a few minutes, it was no longer empty and peaceful.

"There are more people all of a sudden, Mr. Zack, is there a peak period in the Xionghuang Tower?"

He asked Zack.

Zak sweated down the brim of his hat, quietly turned off his phone, and sneered, "Poor, almost, if you don't like crowds, let's go to another hall, right?" Anyway, the channels are all interoperable. ”

Kashiwagi glanced at Zake, then at the newcomers who looked around as if they were looking for someone, and said, "...... It's good. ”

The two quietly moved to the hall next door.

Meanwhile.

The news of the successful match was sent to Kashiwagi's mobile phone, and he was surprised by the speed.

"Lost Mr. Zack, my opponent is waiting for me." He said to Zac, and walked from the northernmost entrance of the hall towards the arena.

Zack didn't breathe a sigh of relief until he couldn't see Kashiwagi's back, and angrily took out his phone to condemn the bad friends who didn't keep the door open.

It's only been a few minutes, huh?

I said don't tell anyone about it!

Unconsciously Zack scolded those people, resolutely refusing to reveal their true location, seeing that a large number of trainers were also gradually pouring into the hall here, he pressed his cowboy hat with a wry smile: "Shame on you." ”

"Milu......" Sentry Rat looked at the trainer suspiciously.

A moment later.

Zac, who was silently waiting for Kashiwagi to play against him, waited for a few friends in the hall to search for him in a carpet manner.

"Found it, found it!"

"What about people? Where are the people? ”

They looked around eagerly.

"Don't look for it, he's out of here! Why don't you guys have any quality at all! Zack indignantly complained about the shameless bastards.

One of them was embarrassed to say that he was too surprised at the time, and accidentally shouted out, and too many people around him were heard.

The rest of the people were full of regret.

Although Kashiwagi is not a regional champion, he is no different from a champion in terms of reputation, except for the existence of isolation, which trainer in the Ouray region does not know his existence now?

Zack snorted and looked up at the central light screen in the hall, where the figure of Kashiwagi suddenly appeared.

The babbling man keenly noticed the change in Zack's eyes, followed his gaze, and almost shouted again, but fortunately he was able to hold it back.

He elbowed the man next to him.

"What...... Nest grass! The man also saw the cypress on the screen, and whispered, "He didn't leave!" ”

Zach didn't answer.

The remaining few people also quickly learned of Kashiwagi's whereabouts, and couldn't help but comment sharply.

"It shouldn't be too difficult for him, right?"

"That's not sure, it's not difficult to get on the rankings. The problem is that after that, the use of additional items including tree fruits in the Yellow Tower is prohibited, and Super Evolution is not allowed to use them. ”

"That's too far away, why don't we gamble on when he will be on the rankings!"

"When? It will take at least two days, and there will be no shortage of trainers who can get their membership cards—"

Backbite!

Before the man could finish speaking, Kashiwagi had already taken down his opponent in the light screen, and the three evil dragons stretched their wide six wings and roared with their heads up.

So fast!

Everyone was dumbfounded, was there two minutes from the beginning of the battle to the end? It's a three-on-three!

Zack was no less surprised than others, but then excitement followed, and he said, "I'll bet for a long time!" Well, just bet before one o'clock in the afternoon! ”

"One o'clock in the afternoon!?"

Several people's eyes were attracted by him, is Zack familiar with Kashiwagi? Where did you get so much confidence?

Judging from the performance just now, isn't it impossible to take a day, half a day? If the arena fails to arrange an opponent for Kashiwagi in time, no matter how strong he is, he will not be able to reach the ranking list in half a minute!

"Hey, I'm betting on points!" The man who said he was going to gamble reminded him.

"Of course I do! That's why I'm going to take your points and apologize to Kashiwagi! Zach said confidently.

It is said to be a gamble, but it is actually a little joke between friends.

Zack and a few of his friends were not short of money, and the points earned from the tournament were basically placed in their accounts and rarely used, so they were used as chips for betting.

"Okay, I bet with you, and if I win, I'll use your points to apologize to Kashiwagi personally."

"Count me one, count me one."

A few people chimed in.

After all, there were only a few people who could find the cypress wood participating in the light screen, and there was still no trace of them going back and forth in several halls, and many trainers who had rushed to hear the wind had dispersed.

When Kashiwagi came out, he found that the hall was still empty, but there were a few more strange men around Zack who were all in their thirties, and he couldn't help but step forward curiously.

"Mr. Zack, are these friends of yours?"

"Yes."

Zack just wanted to introduce him to him, but those people preemptively identified themselves, and deliberately added a ranking after their names.

Generally between the top 100 and 50.

And Zack, who was in the same circle as these people, was not ranked low, even the highest among them - at thirty-two.

didn't talk a word, and the opponent for the next round was already arranged.

Kashiwagi left without accompaniment, and several of Zack's friends sighed inexplicably: "In the end, it is a hero who is a young man, and this demeanor and momentum are by no means comparable to ordinary people, unstoppable." ”

"It was too arbitrary before, I think Kashiwagi can reach the peak of the Xionghuang Pagoda even if it can't be super evolved."

"That's for sure, the Four Heavenly Kings are all defeated by his men! I said it a long time ago! ”

Zach embarrassed: "You people...... Why is it suddenly touted, one or two are bluffers? ”

He still remembers how these people arranged Kashiwagi in the bar some time ago, and now the real person saw that the tone changed so quickly?

It's funny!

Those friends said that they didn't see the real person, and it was normal to have a little misunderstanding.

And when the cypress wood appeared in the light screen, several people quickly gathered their expressions and watched it seriously.

I didn't take the situation very seriously just now, but at this moment, it's off the charts, after the three evil dragons came on the field, none of the opponent's three Pokémon could only last until the second move.

Is this a Pokémon battle or a play game?

It's not that fast than the value!

"Hey, don't talk about half a day at this pace, two hours is enough." The man who said before that it was at least two days bared his teeth.

Under normal circumstances, considering the physical and mental damage of Pokémon, and counting the possible injuries, if the number of Pokémon cultivated is small, ten games in two days is really fast.

Who knew that a megalodon suddenly rushed into the fish pond of the carp king...... No, Gaioca, it won't be long before it's their Megalodon's turn to face this Gaioca.

Zach slowly came back to his senses and laughed, "Looks like I've won this time." ”

——

Lunch.

Kashiwagi managed to take the last place against him, and his name appeared at the end of the leaderboard.

"Thank you."

"Quack!"

Geng grinned and waved his fat claws, and a gurgling sound came from his stomach.

It scratched its head a little embarrassedly.

"It's just the right time, let's go! Let's go eat! Kashiwagi glanced at his watch and called the three dragons who were watching the battle from behind him to leave the battlefield.

Unlike the huge and wide open-air arena in the game, the Yellow Pagoda provides a venue for ordinary trainers to play indoors, and it is said that the large arena will only be used when the top 100 players are playing.

Leo, the original protagonist of the Arena, defeated the strongest cadre of the original Shadow Team, Evil Loathing and the leader of the Evil Dragon, and hoped to have a chance to go up and see it before leaving.

Kashiwagi heard that the calculation method of ranking promotion is more complicated, and sometimes if you don't play, you will automatically fall off and be overtaken by the latter.

Back in the hall.

Zack and the others warmly gathered around, congratulated him on making it to the rankings, and invited him to eat at the most famous restaurant in the Xionghuang Arena.

"The head chef there studied under Lokomoco, the founder of glowing cuisine in the Carlos region, and although he didn't reach the level of making the dishes shine, the food he made with his own hands will definitely satisfy you!"

These words made Kashiwagi swallow the voice of refusal.

"Senior Brother's" restaurant? That's going to be a big deal.

Although he, the "junior brother", relied on all the skills he had learned by stealing, when he went to the main store to meet Master Lokomoko, he recognized the dishes he made.
