Perhaps because of their love for the sport of football, the Galels like to build the Elven Battlefield as big as a football field.

This is an important point that trainers in other regions need to adapt to in advance -

As the field gets bigger, the range of movement of the elves naturally increases, and the coverage and dodge of many moves have changed, and the elves also need to re-adapt to their positioning.

This is especially true for Xia Chen, who has never been to the Galel region.

Anyway, it is a competition for all the elite hall owners in the world, and it is somewhat arrogant to train on behalf of the competition, so Xia Chen decided to take advantage of today to adapt first.

The goal, of course, is the venue of the competition, the Fist Arena.

As one of the business cards of the city, the grandiose and medieval-style Boxing Arena is located in the most conspicuous position in the center of the city.

Perhaps because of the bout coming up the next day, the gates of the Boxing Arena were closed today, and no visitors from the challengers were accepted.

However, when Xia Chen revealed his identity as a contestant, he was successfully introduced by the security guard at the door.

It has to be said that the Galel region is the best area to combine elf battles with commerce, as can be seen from the various details of the preparation room, the battlefield, and the auditorium.

There will be no shortage of places that can basically advertise, and it is no wonder that Dandi's cloak is densely packed with sponsors' logos.

Xia Chen is not the only person who comes to experience tomorrow's battlefield, there are also several pavilion owners in other regions, and for Xia Chen, a veteran Pokémon fan, it is natural that he can call out people's names at a glance.

Xiao Tsubaki, Dianji, Xiao Sioh, Heilian. And Chisato and Mikoli, whom I met while traveling in Hoen!

Seeing the two old people, Xia Chen walked over quickly to say hello.

"Two seniors, long time no see."

Although these two are indeed Xia Chen's predecessors in terms of being the owner of the museum, with the relationship between the three of them as "friends of life and death", it is a bit raw to say this, and Xia Chen has a bit of a yin and yang flavor.

"Yo, the big star is here."

Mikoli replied with a smile.

During this time, Xia Chen, who has become too crystalline, has become a figure on the cusp of the elf world again, and his popularity and popularity can indeed afford to be a big star.

However, like Xia Chen, this way of greeting is somewhat strange.

Strangely greeting, the three of them looked at each other and smiled, and sat down on the lawn on the sidelines to chat.

…………

"You can really make a moth, it's only been half a year since the super evolution appeared, and you made it too crystallized, and during this time, trainers all over the world have gone crazy."

Mikeli sighed: "Qianli and I queued up for a long time in Jinhui Town a few days ago, and only then did we get the quota of the two elves. ”

Xia Chen said: "Then come to me, I also have a lot of Taijing fragments and Taijing beads, all of which have different attributes." ”

Mikoli chuckled softly, but did not answer.

Although they are friends, he and people like Qianli always have their own pride, and they don't want to owe Xia Chen too much.

Qianli replied: "It doesn't matter, anyway, a game can only be too crystallized once, as long as it's enough." ”

This is a patch that the World Elf Battle Association immediately made for Tai Crystalline a few days ago, and like Super Evolution, in a 3v3 or 6v6 battle, only one Tai Crystalline phenomenon is allowed.

However, it tacitly acquiesced to the rules that super evolution and too crystalline can be used at the same time, which undoubtedly added a bit of fun to the elf battle.

After chatting for a while, the three of them talked about the schedule and grouping of this competition.

Ten regions, in addition to the alliance that has just been established, is still in a state of development, Alola, who does not have a gym, and the city capital, which is usually bound to Guandu, eight major regions, four people in each competition area, a total of exactly thirty-two contestants.

It's just the perfect cup format.

The competition is divided into two stages, the group stage and the knockout stage.

In the first stage of the group stage, eight groups, each group of four, the top two groups qualified, using a round-robin mode, the competition format is shorter six selections and three matches.

In the second stage, the 16 people who entered the knockout round adopted the mode of alternating between the first group and the second group until the champion was decided, and the competition system was a 6v6 all-round battle that could show the full level of the trainer.

Theoretically, once they have their own group, each competitor can simulate the route to the championship.

The draw for the group stage has already been completed a few days ago, and now many people on the Internet have simulated and predicted the entire schedule of the entire World Gym Master Competition.

…………

"Speaking of which, you and Chisato are both in the upper half of the competition that is more intense."

Mikoli had obviously studied Xia Chen's grouping, and looking at him with a gloating expression.

"Especially you, Achen, how do you feel about forming the [Death Group] with Lulina, Nazi, and Naki?"

Xia Chen complained expressionlessly with his own unique cold humor: "I feel that I have been excluded without [Na] in my name." ”

This is naturally a joke, when Xia Chen learned about his opponent in the group stage a few days ago, he directly closed himself off the spot for a while.

Generally speaking, the group called the "Group of Death" is not necessarily the strongest overall, but it must be the most evenly matched.

No one could have predicted in advance the two men who would break out of the encirclement, hence the name Death.

Obviously, Xia Chen's Group C fits this definition perfectly.

Before that, it is necessary to explain the grouping principle of this competition.

In order to reflect the role of the regional selection tournaments, and in order to avoid the tragic scene of the top four meeting in the group stage, a group is composed of four stall owners from four different regions.

For example, in Xia Chen's group, Nazi is the second place in the Kanto Joto Division, Lulina is the third in the Galar Division, and Naki is the fourth in the Hoenn Region.

Xia Chen. Because there were only the top two in the Donghuang Division, there were no one or two places, and unfortunately fell into this group of death with the first place.

Let's take a look at which bigwigs are the first in other divisions, Sakaki, Mikoli, Denji, Chibana, Aoki.

All of them are guys who have the strength of the Four Heavenly Kings, not to mention hidden bosses like Sakaki of the Earth.

Therefore, from the fiercely competitive Guandu Joto Division, Nazi, who stood out in second place, is more like the first in this group, and the strength of the other three looks more even.

If Nazi, who is the only one by default, has a place to qualify, Xia Chen will have to beat his opponent as much as possible in the remaining two games to qualify for second place in the group.

In short, his qualifying situation is quite grim, and it may be the shameful schedule of the classic "opening battle-qualifying battle-honor battle-train station".

On tomorrow's first day of the group stage, he will face Lulina, one of the tournament's hosts, in what could be a crucial match that will determine whether he can qualify.

…………

After chatting about the grouping of the group stage, the three of them fought for a while on the huge battlefield like a football field lawn before heading to the hotel together.

In order to facilitate management, all the hotels where the contestants stay are arranged by the organizers of the competition.

The largest and most luxurious hotel in Boxing City has been chartered for half a month, and it can be seen that the organizers of the event are quite sincere.

While having dinner with Chisari, Mikkeli, and Tatsuno, Xia Chen met more familiar characters from the games and anime of his previous life.

The perfect figure is black and straight, and the special boss Liu Bo, who can almost kill the gods with a small mountain pig messenger bird, and Sakaki, who is dressed in a black suit and does not smile

Why mention these three people alone, because Xia Chen was keenly aware that they had looked at him at least ten times during the meal.

This time, Xia Chen brought the invincible old Lotun with him, so he didn't worry at all, but smiled back to the other party openly.

The reactions of the three of them were different, Nazi was staring back expressionlessly, Liu Bo, who was holding the little boar, was smiling kindly, and Sakaki, who was stroking the cat boss, had a deep meaning in his eyes.

Xia Chen didn't know what they were going to do, but after their eyes met, they didn't meet again.

Nothing was said all night.

The next day, the much-anticipated World Gym Master Contest finally began.

There were no bells and whistles at the opening ceremony, and after the brief presentation of the host regional champion Dandi, the first Group A match began soon - Sakaki VS Tiexuan.

Speaking of which, although Xia Chen has never seen Tie Xuan, he has some intersections with him-

When he was traveling in the Hoenn area last year, he encountered a little trouble traveling from Zijin City to Liuli City, but he borrowed his private plane to carry Xia Chen, Qianli, and Serena to Liuli City in time.

Although the gorgeous celebration in the future is still postponed because of the awakening of the two gods.

This somewhat short and fat old man of Lotte is a veritable rich man and a top trainer specializing in electric attributes, but unfortunately he met [Sakaki of the Earth] this round.

The ground and electricity system is almost one of the most insoluble restraint relationships among the eighteen attributes, and the pair of goblins and dragons can be compared to them.

However, Uncle Tiexuan obviously did not sit back because of his attributes, and the strength of his opponent.

The elves he sent out in this battle were the dual attribute of electricity and water, or the washing machine with the [floating] trait that can be immune to ground-based moves, the electric dragon that can super evolve into the dual attribute of electric dragons, and the self-detonating magnetic monster with the attribute of Taijing grass.

Everywhere it is indicated that the target of Sakaki, who specializes in the ground system.

But how could the defending champion of the tournament, Sakaki of the Earth, be targeted so easily?

The elves he sent were the Great Needle Bee, the Thylacial Beast, and the Super Armored Rhino.

didn't even use too crystallization, and with only a super sac beast of "mother and child soldiers", Sakaki defeated Uncle Tiexuan and finally won easily with a score of 3:1.

The second Group B match was also uneventful, as Aoki, who qualified first in the Pardea Regional Qualifiers, defeated Lee, the owner of the martial arts gym who had somewhat restrained him, with his "mediocre and uncharacteristic" general legion.

Then, the first game of the afternoon, which is the focus of the day.

A supernova from the Donghuang region, Xia Chen, the owner of the world's first multi-attribute gym that has not yet opened, will face off against the world supermodel and the owner of the Water Boat Arena, Lu Lina!

…………

In the official live broadcast room of Station P of the World Gym Main Competition, the barrage at this time gradually began to be lively.

It's not that Xia Chen and Lu Lina are better than the previous two games, but in terms of popularity, the first four combined are not as good as either of the two.

Although Sakaki is a super boss and the most famous villain of the Pokémon series, he is still relatively low-key in this world.

And Xia Chen and Lu Lina use the words of the entertainment industry, that is, the traffic stars in the elf battle circle, it cannot be said that they have no strength, but they are definitely less famous.

At this time, the barrage is arguing over which of the two is stronger.

Although this matter can be quickly concluded from the next battle, the melon-eating crowd is still happy to discuss it.

Sometimes it doesn't matter what the outcome is, it's how you assert your superiority in the argument.

In the barrage of quarrels, Xia Chen and Lu Lina walked to both sides of the battlefield.

The trainer's position was probably in the direction of the goalkeeper in the football field, and Xia Chen tried to look at Lulina, but could only see a small figure.

In such a match, let alone trash talk before the game, the trainers during the battle cannot hear each other's instructions, and can only judge the opponent's instructions based on experience and conjecture.

The group stage is played in three out of six, which is slightly different from the regular 3v3, where both sides know the six elves submitted by the opponent in advance before the game, and then choose three of each to bring to the battlefield.

In other words, the game actually starts before the game.

The six given by Xia Chen are Senbu, Shanaiduo, Menas, Zoroyak, Sticky Meilong, and Doronbaruto.

Except for the unconventional old Leton, this is his strongest lineup.

And Lulina's six are, the Tyrant Turtle, the Thousand-Faced Evasion, the Large-billed Gull, the Bucket Shuttle, the Armored Warrior, and the Tyrannosaurus, who also give everything they have.

With the referee's whistle, the battle officially began.

Poké balls from both sides are thrown, and the starting elves after a psychological game appear on the battlefield.

Sliminosaurus, as well as large-billed gulls.

Seeing the seabird with a huge beak and flapping its wings and flying in the air to set off a torrential rain, Xia Chen had a rough guess about Lulina's tactics in this game.

The starting Large-Billed Gull is just a tool sprite that triggers the [Rain] perk and releases [Downwind], and the real main output is the two sprites in the back row.

Xia Chen felt that there was a high probability that it would be the Dou Sharp Shuttle and the Tyrannosaurus - the former was a quick attacker with the trait of [Leisurely Swimming], and the latter was the only super evolved player in the lineup.

…………

Xia Chen, who was in a state of mind, immediately commanded: "Sticky Meilong, thunder!" ”

Although the best way to restrain this move is to [provoke], but Sticky Meilong doesn't know this move, and Xia Chen didn't think about letting her.

It is enough to break it with force.

The combination of water and flight attributes is actually quite good, but four times weaker electricity is a hard injury.

The only way to circumvent this is to change the attributes through too crystallization, and Xia Chen doesn't believe that a valuable mechanism that can only be used once, and Lu Lina will waste it on the tool spirit of the Big-billed Gull.

That's true, over there, Lu Lina didn't care about Xia Chen's command, and she didn't even bother to look at the opponent's starting elf, and commanded in her own way: "Big-billed gull, tailwind!" ”

Now that the tactics have been decided, there is no need to hesitate when fighting, even if it is about to face rolling thunder.

The energy intensity of the large-billed gull is only a trace away from reaching the level of a king, and the rainy days caused by [rain] are naturally quite strong.

Layers of thick clouds were dense over the battlefield, enough to call out the heavy rain that people couldn't open their eyes to cover the whole field.

However, while Lulina's back row had not yet enjoyed the benefits of the rainy weather, Sticky Dragon enjoyed it in advance.

Isn't this a kind of NTR?

The rolling thunder was like a dragon's roar clearly coming from the clouds, and in an instant, a dazzling purple-gold flash pierced through the darkness, illuminating the gloomy battlefield that had been turned by the rainstorm!

Then, the loud roar of thunder shook the audience.

Boom –

The thunderbolt with the thick body of the sticky dragon pierced through the dark clouds and fell straight down, this size is only observed from the perspective of the audience, and the actual size will only be more exaggerated.

Under the positioning of the torrential rain, the dark purple hideous thunder dragon accurately captured the figure of the large-billed gull that was still flapping its wings and setting off a strange wind, and in a terrifying sound, the thunder smashed down.

Lulina's face was calm, and she didn't command "get out of the way" or anything like that, it's raining, and thunder is bound to hit!

Instead of spending time doing that kind of futile work, it is better to pave the way for the appearance of the real main force later.

Under the exaggerated thunder of four times the restraint power, the large-billed gull released the tailwind with difficulty.

The price is that its body, which was originally blue and white, is now charred black, and a pair of not very broad wings are flapping hard, and it looks like it may die at any time.

After all, the spirit of the large-billed gull is durable like that, and if it can survive this thunder, it is considered to be strong.

It is foreseeable that the next thunder, even just 100,000 volts, will inevitably fall.

But for Lulina, it doesn't matter if the big-billed gull doesn't fall down, just do what needs to be done before leaving.
