March 23.

Early morning.

Xu Qiansu and the Pokémon came back from a morning run, came to the Pokémon Center, and after a brief breakfast, the three of them walked towards the Caolu Gym.

Lilia doesn't have to challenge the gym, but she can't be alone in the Pokémon Center.

"Grass Gym ......" Lilia held a booklet dedicated to introducing the owners of the various avenues of Galar in her small hand, flipping back and forth on the pages of Yaluo, she lowered her eyes and smiled at the six tails who walked at Xu Qiansu's feet: "Today's main force is the six tails." ”

The six-tailed and four-legged little short legs hurriedly followed Xu Qiansu's pace, but the walking posture had its own sense of elegance.

Hearing this, she raised her little face and confidently 'wooed' to Lilia, indicating that with her, the victory in this battle was already nine out of ten.

"It's reliable." Lilia chuckled, her eyebrows crooked.

Xu Qiansu tilted his head to look at Ma Li, "Who will challenge first?" ”

"Whatever you ......" Ma Li hugged Molubeke, and the words fell, but she glanced at Xu Qiansu, and said, "Then you first, just probe the bottom of Yaluo for me...... After all, the intelligence on the Internet is not as useful as seeing it with your own eyes in any way. ”

"Even if you are sure of the victory, you still have to get a slight advantage in intelligence...... Xu Qiansu laughed, "Miss Ma Li is worthy of being a trainer. ”

"No, I didn't do it to win." But Ma Li tilted her chin slightly and glanced at Xu Qiansu.

"What's that for?" Lilia blinked, interjected, and asked in confusion.

"So no sense of distance...... Ma Li squinted at Xu Qiansu, her beautiful little face with a little smile, "Do you feel happy?" ”

"That's how I got hooked on you, too?" Xu Qiansu asked in disbelief.

"Ninth." Ma Li retracted her gaze, looked at the arena that was gradually approaching in front of her, and said calmly.

"Then you are honest with each other now, which is also one of the ways?"

"Be honest with you in certain situations...... is the fourth method. ”

Xu Qiansu also retracted his gaze.

It's terrible, it's terrible!

If it weren't for him, then anyone who came would have fallen under Marly's skirt, right?

However, Xu Qiansu hates scumbags the most in his life, and he will not be unable to control it.

Lily's big emerald green eyes looked at the side of Marly's face, and her small mouth opened slightly, and she had the urge to use a small notebook to write down and study.

Well? Wrong.

Lilia shook her head quickly, she didn't come here to learn this.

At this point, I have unconsciously arrived at the Grass Road Arena.

It is a huge building with a large area shaped like a tire lying on the ground, and the overall color is light purple, and there are countless green stripes on it.

In front of the gate is a huge carpet of emerald green with grass logos.

This is the place to challenge the gym.

Lilia pulled the brim of her white sun hat with her little hand, and looked up at the grass road arena with a small face, "It's so big~ I've never seen this kind of building in Alola." ”

Lily is one of the best ladies in the Alola region, and no matter how big this grass road arena is, it can't be bigger than her family's Aether Foundation...... However, given that Alora has never had such an event as the Alliance Conference, and the atmosphere of Pokémon battles is far inferior to that of the Galar region, it is not surprising that she has such a reaction.

As she spoke, she stretched out her little finger and pointed to the front of the arena, "Are they all challengers too?" ”

Xu Qiansu nodded slightly.

Although Caolu Town is vast and sparsely populated, it is not an economically developed town, but there are many people in front of the Caolu Arena.

Look at the costumes...... Most of them are trainers.

In addition, uniformed coalition staff walk through it.

Nearly a month has passed since the opening ceremony, and there are still so many trainers challenging this first gym.

Considering the pass rate of 90% of the grass dojo...... Obviously, Pokémon is indeed a national sport for all ages in the Galel region, with a high level of participation from the whole people.

This is also normal, after all, the industry in the Galel region is not particularly developed, and the Pokémon battle is the leading pillar of the economy in the Galel region.

"It's so lively~" Lili's jewel-like emerald green eyes sparkled, obviously infected by the lively atmosphere of the grass road arena.

However, Lilia quickly reacted, "With so many people, when should I wait in line?" ”

"Let's go in and ask." Marley looked the crowd in front of the arena up and down, and then stepped forward first.

Walking into the hall, the interior decoration is simple as a whole, with white tones as the main tone.

Inside, however, there are mostly staff members, and there are quite a few staff members with funny Poké Ball hoods holding small flags that say something like 'Come on Challenger'.

There was no queue at the front desk.

Xu Qiansu and Ma Li walked over and handed over their alliance cards.

"Well, No. 960 Ma Li and No. 961 Xu Qiansu are they......" The front desk swiped the alliance cards of the two of them, looked at the information on the computer and said, "There is another person in front of you who is challenging, please change into a challenge suit, wait in the player room for a while, and it will be broadcast to notify you in half an hour at the latest...... Well, who will challenge first? ”

"I'll go first." Xu Qiansu replied.

"Challenge suits?" Lilia nodded her chin and tilted her head to look at Xu Qiansu.

"In the Garrell region, the Champions Cup is considered a very formal sport, and for the sake of spectacle, there is a challenge suit, not only for the challenger, but also for the gym owner...... It's just a uniform. Xu Qiansu explained.

"Uniform ......" Lilia looked at Xu Qiansu, her eyes moved from his handsome face to his neck, Adam's apple, and in front of him, and then quickly retracted his gaze and stared at Bai Huang in his arms.

Xu Qiansu didn't notice Liliai's gaze, because he was looking at Ma Li and said, "It's only spring now, and the sky is not very warm, so Ma Li should dress warmly later." ”

A large part of the lie, Xu Qiansu said, is due to the shameful and selfish possessiveness of men...... Because if he remembered correctly, Miss Mary's challenge was ...... Somewhat cool.

Ma Li knew Xu Qiansu's thoughts, but instead of denying it, she glanced at him with a smile in her eyes, meaning 'Sooner or later, you will completely fall in love with me and abandon Gadelia.' ’

Xu Qiansu ignored Ma Li's eyes and led the Pokémon towards the locker room...... He naturally has a challenge suit, which is tailored by the league according to the body type of each player, not only has four styles of spring, summer, autumn and winter, but also has a variety of attributes to choose from.

For example, the fire system is dominated by red, and the evil system is dominated by purple and black......

Xu Qiansu doesn't pay much attention to clothing, so the challenge suit is just plain white.

Lilia followed Marley to the women's dressing room...... Although she is not a challenger, the alliance considerately gives some attention to the family and friends of the challengers...... Such as special spectator seats, etc.

Xu Qiansu changed into a white challenge suit with long sleeves and pants, and used a Poké Ball to take back the Pokémon before coming to the player's room......

There was no one in the player room, only a huge display screen in the center, which was broadcasting the current battle situation in the grass road arena.

Xu Qiansu sat down and watched for a while.

The challenger is a young man with a flame rabbit, and with Xu Qiansu's current eyes...... This teenager is really a little weak, not to mention his Pokémon, Xiaoyou alone can hang him up and beat him.

But it's a back and forth fight with Yaro's white fluffy.

He made a mistake in command, and Yarrow was not in a hurry to attack, but instead shouted and pointed out his problems.

As a result, the boy's level of combat is also slowly rising.

After all, the purpose of the establishment of the gym is to screen strong trainers, and to help trainers improve their strength......

After all, there are not many opportunities to fight against a master of the level of the Gym Master, not to mention that the Gym Master will guide the challenger for free...... If you consider it from this aspect, every Taoist owner can be regarded as a peach and plum all over the world.

Thinking about it, but hearing a soft click, Marley pushed open the door and walked in.

Xu Qiansu tilted his head and raised his eyebrows slightly.

Ma Li, like Xu Qiansu, wears long sleeves and long pants, but the overall color scheme is purple and black, which is obviously evil...... But the challenge suit is extremely slim.

Marley wears loose casual clothes most of the time, and now she wears this kind of close-fitting clothing, which directly highlights her slightly bulging body, her waist and perfect proportions, and her straight and thin legs.

Ma Li gently pulled the broken hair from her ear, glanced at Xu Qiansu, and asked, "Cute?" ”

"It's cute, just like the torii gate in front of the shrine."

"I know." Ma Li tilted her chin slightly, and her words revealed self-confidence and self-satisfaction.

Xu Qiansu was amused by Ma Li.

Marley folded her arms and glanced at the monitor, only to see that the young man had finally defeated Yarrow with difficulty, and was cheering with joy as he hugged his scarred Yan Rabbit.

The next moment, the sound of the radio was heard in my ears.

"Please 961 Xu Qiansu will go to the opposite battlefield in ten minutes."

After repeating it three times, the sound of the radio fell.

"Where's Lilia?" Xu Qiansu withdrew his gaze from the display screen and asked.

"Spectator seats." Ma Li clasped her arms and glanced at Xu Qiansu up and down again, "Although you have only been a trainer for more than four months, your strength has improved by leaps and bounds, and you have been even more successful along the way, basically winning every battle...... But if you underestimate Arlo because of this, and think that you will win, you will definitely suffer a great loss. ”

"I'm not going to underestimate anyone." Xu Qiansu shook his head slightly.

Ma Li tilted her head and thought for a moment, thinking that although Xu Qiansu was narcissistic, she had never gone wrong in this regard because of her mentality.

……

Ten minutes later, Xu Qiansu got up and left the contestant's room.

Marie didn't cheer him on, nor did she say anything like that he had to win......

Although Ma Li just asked Xu Qiansu not to underestimate Yaluo, in fact, she believed that Xu Qiansu would definitely win.

She turned her head to look at Xu Qiansu's back, and suddenly thought that in the past four months, Xu Qiansu has really experienced a lot of ......

So much so that if Ma Li wants to remember now, she has to sort out her thoughts a little.

Xu Qiansu walked out of the player's room and turned left to the road leading to the battlefield.

He walked forward, and the corridor was slightly dim and empty, and only his footsteps sounded.

There was a slight noise accompanied by the bright light in front of the corridor.

In the Galel region, even the ordinary gym challenge has a large number of spectators...... How else can you say that this is a national project?

Xu Qiansu slowly walked out of the corridor and stepped on the soft lawn, but saw that the extremely open circle around the battlefield was densely packed with people...... It's all spectators.

Whew—

The extremely huge wristband on Xu Qiansu's wrist flashed red...... The Grass Road Arena has plenty of Mega Energy, which can make Pokémon Extremely Giant at any time.

"Born in Wood Pole Town, recommended by Nie Zi, the master of the Evil Dao Gym, the only disciple of the master of the Fighting Gym Caidou, and the first gym battle of Xu Qiansu is at this moment!"

An enthusiastic but calm male voice sounded from the radio, introducing Xu Qiansu's identity, which instantly ignited the atmosphere of the audience.

Both Nie Zi and Cai Dou Ke are celebrities in the Galar region.

Especially the identity of Caidou's only disciple...... The little master of Caidou has always been low-key, full of only Pokémon battles and fights, so there is little information revealed to the outside world, and he is one of the more mysterious of the Daoist masters.

For so many years, there has only been Xu Qiansu, a challenger related to the little master of Caidou.

Therefore, the audience cast a lot of scrutiny and curious glances at Xu Qiansu...... During the period, there were also some "Huh? Isn't he a little handsome? "Is he being an idol?" "Did I see him in a dream?" and so on.

Liliai, who was sitting in the special audience, heard this, and inexplicably felt a sense of pride, and couldn't help but straighten her chest that was not very revealing.

However, Xu Qiansu only has this thing to introduce, he has been a trainer for so long, but he has only played an ordinary doubles match in Cuixue Town, and he has not left any honor at all, and the league's control of his information is even more pitiful.

Xu Qiansu slowly walked to the center of the opposite battlefield, and stood opposite to Ya Luo, who was walking towards him.

This is Galel's battle etiquette...... But it's not complicated, just a few words.

Yarrow also wore a uniform, showing off his tall stature...... On either side of the waist, there are six high-end balls.

He looked at Xu Qiansu and said with a smile: "Every Daoist master will adjust his strength according to the strength of the challenger, although I have not fought against you, but with your strength ......"

As he spoke, Yarrow glanced at the Poke Ball on Xu Qiansu's waist, "It must not make it too easy for me." ”

"I'll do my best, please advise." Xu Qiansu didn't say much, just nodded slightly.

Yaluo frowned and grinned, "Don't put too much pressure on yourself, enjoy the Pokémon battle." ”

As the words fell, Yarrow beckoned to the referee, signaling that he was ready to start.

Xu Qiansu turned to leave, but before stepping into his position, he heard the sound of the announcement of the rules.

"In this battle, the rules of 3v3 are adopted, and the challenger can change the Pokémon at will, and when all the Pokémon of one side lose their combat ability or surrender, it will be regarded as the end of the game!"

Sure enough, as Miss Joy said, it was 3v3.

“3V3？ Isn't it usually 2V2? ”

"Because Xu Qiansu is more special, right?"

"Why? Obviously, there are three players with championship recommendation letters before who don't have 3V3, just because he is good-looking? ”

"Why do you care so much? 3V3 is definitely more exciting! ”

The auditorium was noisy, and even if the battlefield was extremely open, Xu Qiansu could hear some voices from the audience.

He turned his head to look, but in the row of seats very close to the challenger, he saw Lilia.

This is a special seat for the challenger's family and friends.

Noticing Xu Qiansu's gaze, Lilia pulled the brim of her hat a little shyly for some reason to cover the upper half of her face, but then clenched her small fist to cheer for Xu Qiansu.

Xu Qiansu gave Lilia a reassuring look, and then looked at Yaluo.

Because it can be extremely huge at any time, the battlefield of the Grass Road Arena is extremely huge...... However, both sides have megaphones, so they don't have to worry about orders not being delivered to Pokémon's ears.

Yaluo raised his hand and raised his high-level ball, showed an excited smile to Xu Qiansu, and threw it high.

"Go, cunning tengu!"

Bang.

The blue light flickered, and a Pokémon with a brown body, hands like wide leaves, pure white sideburns covering most of his face, and hanging down to his waist, appeared on the field...... The shape is a bit like Jiraiya in the Hokage.

"Cunning Tengu!? Doesn't Yarrow usually use young cotton and white fluffy!? ”

"If I'm not mistaken, the Cunning Tengu is part of the lineup that Yarrow used to challenge Dandi, right?"

"This player really has that much strength!?"

"Yarrow won't have any personal vendetta with Caidou, right?"

"Yarrow will definitely be merciful...... It's just a cunning tengu, and it's too much of a bully for newcomers, right? ”

"This newcomer is really pitiful, the first time he challenged the gym, he met a cunning tengu."

The auditorium instantly became noisy.

Ma Li sat in the contestant's room, looking at the display screen with a beautiful face.

"Cunning tengu...... Eventually, it's an evolutionary type. ”

Xu Qiansu looked at the cunning tengu, and with a calm face, he took a pure white Poké Ball from his waist and threw it.

"Shanaiduo."

"Shanaisha~" Shanaiduo jumped out of the blue light, his hands folded in his lower abdomen, elegant and noble.

"We've also shot a wild proboscis leaf before...... I didn't expect to have to play the evolution of the proboscis lobe again. Xu Qiansu said with a smile.

Shanaiduo looked at the surrounding scenery curiously, and when she heard this, she covered her mouth and chuckled, feeling inexplicably happy that Xu Qiansu still remembered such a trivial matter.

The referee glanced at both sides and made sure they were all ready before waving his hand.

"Play, let's go!"
