Although he understood the reason why his own Zoroya was a ghost, Xia Chen still had no clue how to explore the secret of the ghost Zoroya.

After all, this is a special form of the Xicui area, so you can't let yourself go back to the Xicui area to study, right?

How to get there?

Relying on the power of Rabbi or Dialga?

No matter how you think about it, this approach is too unrealistic.

Xia Chen had a bit of a headache, so he could only keep this matter in his heart for the time being, and wait until there were further clues before continuing to study.

Blessings are incomparable, and disasters are not singular.

He thought that he would have to wait for a long time for this clue, but within two days, Xia Chen received a long-awaited reply.

Shirona seemed to have finally crawled out of some deep mountain forest and recovered herself.

"Understand a little bit and talk over the phone."

Only a little bit of understanding

Xia Chen knew that Sirona was not the kind of person who was modest, and if she said it was a little, it was really a little.

However, for the time being, there is no more direction to explore, Xia Chen can only follow this vine.

Taking advantage of the fact that Sirona had just replied to the message, Xia Chen hurriedly called Sirona.

Sure enough, within two seconds, the call was connected.

"Hey, is it a pigeon master?"

There was a very recognizable girl on the other end of the phone, not sweet, but a little hoarse magnetism, which sounded very sassy.

Yes, that's pretty much what I imagined for Sirona.

After silently commenting in his heart, Xia Chen said: "That's right, may I ask you are the new champion of the Sinnoh region, the champion of the Eight Masters Tournament, the champion above the champion, the world's strongest biting land shark trainer, and the famous mythology scholar, Miss Sirona?" ”

The other head was silent for two seconds, and then replied with a sense of humor, "I'd rather you put the last title first." ”

Xia Chen smiled knowingly and said, "No kidding, Miss Sirona, officially introduce yourself, my name is Xia Chen, seventeen years old, and I am a student." ”

A chuckle came from the other end of the phone, "I already knew, classmate Xia Chen, I pay more attention to you than you think." ”

…………

After a period of pleasantries, the two finally got to the point.

Xia Chen asked seriously: "As I said in Bogaman, I really want to know about the history of the Sinnoh region about the Seicui, how can I do it?" ”

After thinking for a few seconds, Sirona replied, "Actually, this history is not a very well-studied time period in our Sinnoh region. As an analogy, its existence is like the Xia Dynasty that existed in the Donghuang region, although the time from the present is not as old as the Xia Dynasty, but in archaeology, there is no definite evidence, and its existence is still doubtful. ”

"What I do know is that there were very few human beings at that time, and there were only a few social tribes. Legend has it that the Washie period was a time of transformation in the relationship between a man and a spirit. From that point on, people gradually began to lose fear of elves, and the first Poké Balls were produced. There are also legends that people in that period were able to subdue powerful elves on their own without borrowing the power of the elves, but because there is no basis for verifiable evidence, most scholars believe that this is the boast of human beings. ”

"What's more, at that time, Xicui has survived many elves that are completely different from modern times, not only in appearance, but even in attributes or evolutionary forms, a bit similar to the different forms of the same kind of elves in multiple regions as we are now. But it's not very clear which elves they are. That's all I know, and I hope it helps. ”

Was it helpful?

Yes, but not much.

At least he knows what kind of existence he is like, although most of Sirona's words are "legendary".

But she didn't mention a word about the ghost Zoroa who wanted to know, and it seemed that it was really unclear.

However, Xia Chen is already very grateful to be able to tell himself these secrets.

He sincerely thanked: "Thank you, this is very helpful to me, if you come to Donghuang, please be sure to tell me, I will definitely entertain you." ”

Sirona chuckled: "Write it down, but for the time being, I don't have much time, I'm going to go to a ruin in Tianguan Mountain in a while, and it may be related to Xicui, but you, do you want to come and have fun?" ”

…………

Relics related to washing?

Xia Chen had to admit that he was moved.

He was already exploring the secret of the ghost Zoroa, which was the only clue known so far, and it would be a shame not to see it with his own eyes.

Secondly, although it has not been half a month, Xia Chen is now a little tired of college life.

It's not that you have to drop out of school or anything, but it's great to be able to go out for a walk.

Besides, with Sirona by her side, unless some kind of Deyaka Giratina appeared, there was certainly no danger.

Moreover, you can also face Kisirona

Thinking of this, Xia Chen immediately put aside the idea of living a penance at school not long ago, and asked excitedly: "Of course you are interested, when will you leave?" ”

Sirona replied: "At the beginning of October, I just came back from the vicinity of Snow Peak City, I want to take a good half month of vacation, and when the time comes, I will inform you, if it's okay, hang up." ”

Knowing Sirona's temperament, Xia Chen didn't talk nonsense, "Understood, I'm looking forward to meeting you, then I'll hang up first." ”

"Bye, see you next month."

With a chuckle, the other end hung up.

Xia Chen breathed a long sigh of relief, and his heart was inexplicably happy.

I don't know if it's because I'm happy to be able to travel and explore soon, or because I'm happy because Zoroa's research is progressing, or if it's because I'm happy. Happy to meet the legendary Sirona?

Probably both.

But since I'm going on an adventure trip in early October, I'm going to finish in the top 50 on the ladder and then join the varsity team, and this thing will be done within this month.

If it's November when I come back, I won't be able to do it before I join the school team.

In November, the school selection competition begins, and those who do not make the school team are not eligible to participate in this competition.

…………

Xia Chen threw himself on the bed, buried his head in Xianbu's soft body, and inhaled sharply.

"Xianbu, I'm going to work hard this month!"

Xianbu rolled his eyes and muttered, "Bu Tou."

We've all worked hard enough, and it's you who should work harder, right?

But are you going to go far again?

Senbu recalls Carlos' thrilling trip a few months ago, with some anticipation and some apprehension in his heart.

Although there will be no major events during this time in his memory, it is not excluded that there are small dangers that can threaten Xia Chen's safety.

After all, himself, Menas, and the other partners are still not strong enough.

But if you're with Sirona, you shouldn't have any problems. Right?

Forget it, why are you suddenly worried about this kind of thing?

Some time ago, Xianbu reflected on himself.

She felt that when she had information about the future, she would always be a little shy about traveling.

But how can there be a trainer who climbs to the top without experiencing danger?

She secretly decided that unless it was a major event of the level of the Divine Beast Awakening, she would definitely not worry so much about it anymore.

So, don't think too much about next month's trip to Sinnoh.

Everything has its own way out, and he just needs to go down with Xia Chen and his partners.

…………

It is said that there is such a group of people in this world, if he plans to go out at two o'clock in the afternoon, then he will not be able to do anything until then.

Xia Chen is not this kind of person, although he planned to travel to Sinnoh soon, but he did not waste this time before that.

In addition to training and qualifying, he also needs to do some preparations before going on a trip, such as asking for leave in advance with the teacher and principal.

Among the conditions in the Championship Clause of the Admissions Contest are the matters related to the request for leave.

After all, trainers can't stay in an ivory tower forever.

However, regarding Xia Chen's application for a one-month vacation, Principal Yu still asked him with concern where he was going.

This is the future star of Shangjing University, and even the entire Donghuang, and it would be bad if it was lost.

"Mt. Tenca in the Sinnoh region." Xia Chen replied.

Principal Yu pondered for a while, and said cautiously: "Although I don't have the authority to stop you from going, I still remind you that Tianguan Mountain is one of the most dangerous areas in the Sinnoh region, so."

Xia Chen pondered for a while, and still said: "Thank you for your bother, in fact, I went with a friend this time, and her strength is still quite strong."

Yu Chaohua kindly reminded: "Well, I know, however, in many areas of Tianguan Mountain, there is no shortage of Daoguan-level and even Heavenly King-level elves. ”

Xia Chen said quietly: "My friend's name is Xirona. ”

After being stunned for a few seconds, Yu Chaohua coughed lightly and said, "When I didn't say it."

After speaking, he decisively approved the fake slip applied by Xia Chen.

Looking at Xia Chen's back as he left the office, Yu Chaohua muttered softly: "The things on the forum can't be true, right, Xia Chen can have today, it's all about eating soft rice?" ”

It's a joke, but in a way, it's true.

However, the source of Xia Chen's soft rice is not a rich woman, but his elves.

…………

After the principal's leave, the leave of the teachers of the two courses will be easy to take.

On the side of the super energy department's specialization course, the teacher happily gave Xia Chen a treat, not to mention the ghost department's specialization course.

As soon as Mo Lan heard that Xia Chen was going to explore the mystery of the "Ghost Department Eevee", she didn't say a word, and even said that it was okay if she couldn't pass the final exam.

After taking leave, the rest of the time, Xia Chen devoted himself to the sprint ladder rankings.

After entering the top 100, the opponent's strength became stronger and stronger, and Xia Chen's winning rate was not as exaggerated as 80% in the first few days.

With the increase in the number of battles, Xia Chen's victory rate dropped all the way to more than 60 percent.

Except for the trainers who specialize in the dragon system, Xia Chen has defeated the highest-ranked opponents, but he is only ranked 36th, and he can't beat any higher.

There are only 30 places in the school team, and at the end of each month, the top 50 people on the ladder will challenge for a change of position.

So theoretically, if you want to enter the school team, you must have the strength to rank in the top 30 on the ladder.

Xia Chen is now stuck in a very delicate position, as if he can defeat the top 30 opponents if he works hard or plays better in the battle.

But it may never be able to cross that hurdle, and it is only a line away from the school team.

In order not to let this kind of thing fall short, Xia Chen's next training was even harder, not only for elves, but also for his own meditation training.

As his spiritual power continued to grow, Xia Chen felt more and more the help of superpowers for the battle commander.

Sometimes whether a move can hit, or whether the elf can dodge a key move, or a trainer's game, the trainer's reaction speed has too much impact on the field battle.

Trainers work together with elves to achieve an effect that one plus one is greater than the sum of its parts.

Therefore, Xia Chen thinks that false trainers will only train elves, and real trainers will even train themselves!

So, with the unremitting efforts of Xia Chen and the elves, on September 25, after three consecutive victories, Xia Chen finally climbed to the 51st position.

One more game and he could finish in the top 50 and qualify for the Swap Tournament.

…………

Although it was only three o'clock in the afternoon at the end of this match, Xia Chen decided to play this crucial battle the next day out of the importance of the next match.

I went back to the dormitory and made a table of delicacies that the elves liked to eat to reward the soldiers, and then brought them to a set of one-stop service of bathing and SPA massage.

Xia Chen and the elves ushered in the crucial battle of the second day in perfect condition.

Early the next morning.

Xia Chen opened the app called [Shangjing University] on his mobile phone, and as usual, entered the interface of the ranking system and pressed matching.

This is a handy feature newly developed by the school. Because the higher the ranking, the fewer opponents you can match.

There are a lot of "high-scoring players" who react, going to the arena to queue up and sometimes can't line up for half an hour.

After all, everyone has their own life, and many people will stagger their ranking times for training, classes, eating, and falling in love.

Therefore, the school has designed such a new feature to facilitate the students' journey to the score.

With Xia Chen's current ranking, it is estimated that he will have to queue for at least an hour or two in the morning, so after entering the matching state, he took the elves downstairs for breakfast.

Unexpectedly, half an hour later, Xia Chen heard a message prompt from his mobile phone.

"The match is successful, the match will start in half an hour, please go to the designated match area as soon as possible."

Xia Chen, who was eating tree fruit muffins, hurriedly took out his mobile phone to check the information.

"Opponent information: Yang Zengyan, ladder ranking: 24, battle place: E Zone 3 vs. battlefield."

Hiss.

The 24th-ranked opponent

Xia Chen smacked his tongue slightly, it was a bit difficult to meet this kind of opponent in the "promotion match".

Forget it, the left and right are at the bottom of the school team, and if he can't even beat him, it's impossible to enter the school team.

Besides, those who win with high rankings will also rise a lot in their rankings, and if they win this one, they may be able to rise by five or six places.

So.

Yang Zengyan's point is settled, Arceus can't keep it, I said it!

After cheering himself up, Xia Chen finished the breakfast that was still left, and then took the elves to the arena of Shangjing University.

——————

After all, the information that should be checked about this opponent still needs to be checked.

The so-called knowing oneself and knowing one's opponent will not be defeated in a hundred battles.

Sitting on the shared Duduli, Xia Chen pulled the reins in his left hand and held his mobile phone in his right hand to search for Yang Zengyan's information on the forum.

After all, he is a master of the school team, although his popularity is not as high as those big guys in the top few, but the information of the main elf is still quite complete.

Relying on the speed of almost "quantum reading" that he now possessed, the flying Duduli had already analyzed the opponent's information completely before he sent Xia Chen to the arena.

Yang Zengyan, male, 21 years old, cultivating a family, junior, mainly steel elves, supplemented by ground elves.

The initial elf, also the ace elf, is the dragon head gopher known as the rat-headed ground dragon.

The other main spirits are the steel and rock Bosco Dora, and the insect and steel giant pincer mantis. As well as the ground and rock Shakiras, the superpower Hudi, and the flying blue jay.

Among them, the three elves of the dragon gopher, the bosco dora and the giant pincer mantis have elite-level strength, and they are also the three elves he uses most often when he competes.

Tsk, the steel system is proficient, and it is more difficult to fight.

Xia Chen frowned, if he wanted to say what attribute of elves his lineup was most afraid of, the steel system could undoubtedly rank first.

Its excellent resistance makes it only weak in the three attributes of fighting, fire, and ground, and its resistance is as many as ten!

And that's not even counting the poison-based moves that are fully immune.

Among the moves that Xia Chen's three main elves are proficient in, the three of goblin, super and dragon moves are all resisted by the steel system.

The only move in this system that can play an effect is Menas's Mizumoto.

As for the moves that restrained the three attributes of the steel system, except for the magic flame of the fairy cloth, the other elves would not be able to do it at all.

It's not that Xia Chen doesn't want to make up for his blindness, but the skill pool is like that.

You can't break through the genetic limitations of the elves and let Chirulian or Senbu learn a ground-based special attack, right?

In short, before Zoroa and Xiao Duolong grew up, Xia Chen really had nothing to do with the team majoring in steel.

Xia Chen scratched his head a little irritably, "How can there be such a nasty attribute of steel?"

Spit and spit and spit out, and the battle still has to be fought.

Park the doodoo and stuff two advanced energy cubes into each of its three heads for fare.

In the farewell of the rattling sound, Xia Chen walked into the arena of Shanghai Beijing University.

…………

Xia Chen's "promotion match" has attracted a lot of attention.

When he received the message on his phone, the match's match-up information also appeared on the big screen in the arena hall.

Xia Chen was originally a hot topic on the forum recently, and there were not many battles in the morning.

Therefore, many students or citizens who came out to walk in the morning and wanted to watch the battle by the way locked in this focus battle.

By the time Xia Chen walked into the battlefield arranged by the system, there were already dozens of people scattered in the surrounding audience, most of whom were lively and lovely senior sisters.

Although Xia Chen's reputation is a little subtle in the school forum, this does not affect the popularity of this rich, famous, and powerful junior.

It's better to say that the name of "the first affectionate person in Shangda" has fueled his popularity.

After all, if Xia Chen is really a scumbag, maybe he will also be a scumbag?

It's a pity that Xia Chen has no experience at all now, commonly known as place

In short, in the still enthusiastic voice, Xia Chen stepped onto the battlefield.

Yang Zengyan arrived before Xia Chen, he looked up and down at the popular junior, and quipped: "The junior brother is very popular, and an ordinary qualifying match can have so many spectators." ”

It's not that this is a yin and yang weirdness, unless the top ten bigwigs are matched, otherwise this kind of competition really doesn't pay much attention.

He usually plays in ranking, and it is enough to have more than a dozen people to watch it, and there are very few battles like this.

Xia Chen was slightly speechless, "It's a good job, what else can you do." ”

It is not up to him to decide whether the audience will stay or not, and having the support of the audience will not add to his strength.

Yang Zengyan smiled, didn't make any ridicule or say anything cruel, and waited for the game to start.

His main business is to cultivate people, and of course he understands the gold content of Xia Chen's achievements in this field.

His final assignment for the course of Elf Chemistry last semester was still based on Xia Chen's research paper on the evolution of Xianbu.

By the way, nearly half of the final assignments in their class were related to Xianbu, and a small half of the rest was related to the research on the evolution of Xia Chenmenas

It is not an exaggeration to say that if Xia Chen enters the cultivation family, he will be the kind of boss who has to ask him for advice.

Therefore, Yang Zengyan still has some subtle emotions in Xia Chen.

You crush me in my main business, and I can't beat you in your main business, shouldn't it be too much?

And Xia Chen's idea is very simple.

Win this game and get into the top 50 on the ladder, that's all.

The players on both sides had their hearts in mind, and with an electronic whistle from Rottom spinning, the battle officially began.

…………

"Come out, dragon gopher!"

"Over to you, Menas!"

Calling out the name of an elf when throwing a ball is a common rule on the battlefield.

With two shouts, two white lights flashed, and the starting elves of both sides appeared.

Yang Zengyan was not surprised that Xia Chen chose Menas as the starter.

The dragon gopher and the bosco dora are also twice as resistant to water, and Xia Chen has no reason to send out the restrained Xianbu or Chirulian.

And Xia Chen was a little surprised by Yang Zengyan's choice, was it directly the ace elf dragon head gopher?

It seems that the opponent has no intention of releasing water at all.

Although it seems that the only giant pincer mantis that is not weak in water is the best choice for the starting elves.

But in fact, if you want to attack, you have more strength, higher output, faster speed, and can use a leading gopher that can be approached by burrowing.

And once Xia Chen's Menas was broken through, Xianbu and Chirulian in the back row could no longer block the impact of these steel elves.

So for Xia Chen, who has no margin for error, the first battle is the decisive battle!

After quickly analyzing these, Xia Chen quickly formulated the main strategy for this battle, defending and counterattacking.

"Faucet gophers, use burrowing!"

While Xia Chen was thinking, Yang Zengyan had already given the first order.

He's trying to get close to Menas by digging a hole!

Xia Chen instantly reacted to the meaning of this hole.

Menas do not have earthquakes and cannot pose a threat to burrowing dragon gophers, and once the dragon gophers get close to Menas, Menas' water cannons will not be able to find a good angle to shoot.

At that point, Menas was in danger.

After a sharp turn of thought, Xia Chen decisively commanded: "Menas, ask for rain!" ”
