Chapter 123: Tomorrow's Star (Subscription Requested!) Ask for a commuter pass! )
The opening ceremony was held in the open-air arena at the top of the mountain, and the contestants received their numbers and lined up to enter in the somewhat spacious arena, and Xu Qiansu was naturally among them.
Marly, Lilia and other girls sat in the VIP box, the temperature at the top of the mountain was slightly cold, but the temperature in the box was very warm, and the air conditioner was faintly and silently hot.
A few girls can blow the air conditioner here, eat fruit, and have a special chef prepare three meals at will, while most of the audience can only sit in a narrow auditorium...... The privileges of the rich are evident at this moment.
But who made Liliai's mother the biggest party in this game? Eighty percent of the success of this alliance competition is due to the financial support of Aunt Lusa Minay.
Gadelia was lying on the sofa and sleeping with a blanket, breathing evenly, and Zhulan squatted in front of her face and poked her cheek to play, annoying Gadelia and making her turn her back.
After the opening ceremony, the on-site electronic lottery will determine the opponent, and the huge arena will be divided into eight small areas for audition, 2V2 battle, and strive to determine the top eight in a week.
When the top 32 matches are 3V3, and the top eight are 6V6.
This is due to the fact that some of the players themselves don't have too many Pokémon, and not everyone has as much travel experience as Ash, and there are dozens of Pokémon living at home.
Most trainers are actually doing their best just to feed six Pokémon.
For the sake of the Pokémon health of the contestants, most of Miss Joy in the Alola area rushed to the Pokémon center on the mountainside, and even Dale went over to help and exchange feelings with her sisters who had not seen her for a long time.
With a burst of beautiful music, the players lined up to step into the arena, and Xu Qiansu walked in the forefront...... His number turned out to be number one, apparently thanks to Aunt Lusa Minay.
The audience suddenly burst into an uproar, and all kinds of eyes stared at Xu Qiansu, who was the first to come out.
In May, he crushed the Rocket Team in Yuanzhu City, and in June, he used a suspected legendary Pokémon Lei Crown King in the Snow Field of the Crown to broadcast the bandits in front of tens of millions of people around the world, and in the same month, he went to the aromatherapy city in the Carlos region to show the extremely giant, and now he came to Alola to participate in the alliance tournament in July, and not long ago he participated in a Pokémon battle that affected almost half of Alola's sea area.
Xu Qiansu is in the limelight at this time, but he himself is very low-key, and every time he finishes something, he immediately disappears, neither participating in interviews nor appearing in public.
The mysterious qualities will not only appeal to the girls, but also arouse the competitive spirit of the trainers.
Xu Qiansu could already feel the fiery gaze of nearly 10,000 trainers behind him.
As the contestants took their feet in the arena and were stunned by the sound of what appeared to be the 'national anthem' of the Alola region, Dr. Kukui stepped up to the podium with his hands in his pockets and began to speak as the organizer of the league competition.
Kukui is one of the most prestigious doctors in the Alola region, and although the players in the room are eager to leave the fight, everyone maintains a serious look and shows the most basic respect for this annual regional event.
"Ahem, at the end of July in the middle of this summer, we are full of anticipation and joy, before the arrival of August, ushered in the first league tournament in the Alola region, today is undoubtedly a ......" Kukuy obviously had no interest in saying these scenes, and said a few words briefly, only to say a little brisk and casual, said:
"I am the organizer of this competition, but I am also a contestant, and I will compete with you on the same stage, although I hope that everyone can show mercy to let me enter the finals, but I also hope that everyone can go all out and leave no regrets."
There were a few bursts of laughter from the audience.
After saying a few more words, Kukuyi said: "Next, please invite the well-known No. 1 player, Xu Qiansu to speak as the representative of the players, as the end of the opening ceremony." ”
Xu Qiansu's bored expression was slightly stunned, and he looked up at Kukuyi, an old acquaintance.
Kukui beckoned to him with an eager smile.
"Yes." Xu Qiansu's voice can't be said to be very happy, it can only be said that it is somewhat similar to Miss Gardelia's usual voice...... Slightly lazy and helpless.
The contestants looked at Xu Qiansu's back on the podium with some envy...... Who wouldn't want to speak at this time given the opportunity?
The first league tournament in the Alola region...... Who can make a name for themselves and make a public appearance will not go down in history?
As a trainer, he has a pride and stubbornness that will never admit defeat, and he will never want to hide in the dust if he can leave a name in history.
The audience made a fuss for a while, thinking that letting Xu Qiansu, a player who had not yet played a game, go up to give a speech, didn't the official think that the champion was determined by Xu Qiansu?
This is undoubtedly a disadvantage for the rest of the players.
"Cut, Gardelia's boyfriend...... Even the alliance wouldn't dare to offend the Four Heavenly Kings casually. ”
"The Ether Foundation of the investors of the Alliance Competition, I remember that Xu Qiansu is also very close to the eldest lady of the Ether Foundation?"
"The first time you held a competition, you did this? Where did fairness and justice go? ”
"It's good that Xu Qiansu can really win the championship, but if he doesn't even pass the audition, the prestige of the alliance will definitely fall to the bottom, and he won't hold the league competition in the future."
"Somebody's going to beat him!"
"The audition actually depends on luck, what if Xu Qiansu actually has the strength to win the championship, but what if he happens to meet a trainer with a legendary Pokémon?"
"It's okay to be able to play well."
"Doesn't Xu Qiansu also have a bud crown king? And Cresalia. ”
"Lei Guanwang has only appeared in the live broadcast, and Creselia has not played a single game, as a star player, he has only five games in the game video, can you believe it?"
"The Galal Alliance still hides his information to the death, and only thinks about making money with his traffic...... Compared to his real power, I think he's just a star player who was pushed out by Garrell to make money.
"Okay TM makes sense, he really has too little information......"
"Whether it's a star or a real person...... Don't you know about the game later? ”
Because he rarely appears in public, the audience is still skeptical.
The girls in the box didn't care about this, they just wondered how to let Xu Qiansu go up to speak.
Lilia thought about it and whispered, "It must be my mother's idea, she is looking forward to Mr. Xu shining brightly......"
"There is no precedent for a player to speak, there is no precedent in any region, and this will definitely cause questioning, and then wait for Xu Qiansu to win the championship......" Ma Li pondered, and turned her head to look at Liliai, "so that she will get pleasure?" ”
Lilia paused, and then seemed to be a little ashamed, lowered her head and pulled her blonde hair, and said in a low voice, "That's how Mom ......"
Xu Qiansu stood still on the stage, looked at the crowd of black pressure below, coughed lightly, picked up the microphone, and said briefly: "Just come on, do your best, and leave no regrets." ”
There was no reaction below, but most people thought that a high-profile player like Xu Qiansu must be sharp, but he turned out to be so ...... Well...... Unremarkable.
Xu Qiansu wants to finish his game as soon as possible...... After all, there is nothing to look forward to in this Alola Alliance Competition, unless Dandi, Wataru and other famous champions don't want to sign up for the competition.
But Kukuyi kept squeezing his eyebrows in the corner of the podium and asked him to say a few more words, Xu Qiansu had to retract his steps, stand still in place and continue to pick up the microphone, and thought for a few seconds and said:
"I met Shanaiduo...... It was only in December of last year that I was looking forward to becoming an amazing trainer and met Miss Marry from Nail Town...... Alas, although I have never fought her head-on, I must have lost at that time. ”
Ma Li crossed her arms and tilted her head slightly to look at Xu Qiansu's side face.
"I don't mean that I can defeat her now, in fact, I also got to know Master Caidou, Miss Gardelia, Zhulan, Karunai, ...... later."
The following instantly burst into laughter, thinking to myself, is this guy reporting the name of the dish? How do you know so many powerful beautiful girl trainers...... But after reacting, the male trainers gritted their teeth again.
Gadelia opened her eyes, propped up her upper body, the futon slipped off her body, and looked at Xu Qiansu expressionlessly.
"I'm not emphasizing that I know them, I'm saying that every trainer I've met is better than me, and when Master Caidou became the master of the martial arts gym, Miss Gardelia became the Four Heavenly Kings of the United Forces, and Zhulan and Karunai won the championship, I was still alone in the snow holding up a billboard, only a little fox by my side silently accompanied, and it had nothing to do with the trainer."
"Dr. Kukui wants me to encourage everyone...... In fact, there is only one sentence to say, it is common to face trainers who are stronger than yourself, even the Sinnoh champion Zhulan does not dare to say that she is the number one in the world, but all we can do is work hard, and everyone is the rising star of the Alola region. ”
Xu Qiansu said a few words, but he didn't have any sharp arrogance, and he didn't make a victory declaration before the game to arouse public anger.
This attracted the favor of many girls, stretched out their fingers at him, blushed to the people around them, and said, "So personable~"
Only Jiadeliya also pointed at Xu Qiansu, and smiled at Ma Li: "I am not shocked, low-key and introverted, I am the person I like." ”
Ma Li also showed a touching smile to Jiadelia, and tilted her chin slightly, "I'm different from you, as long as it's him, low-key or high-key, I like it." ”
"It's because you're too doting and don't ask for him that you're in the same situation." Gardelia spoke casually.
"I like him, it doesn't mean that I will favor him unlimitedly, and only those who can overcome their desires can be considered qualified human beings."
"To put it bluntly, you just don't love him as much as I do."
After that, the two women spoke, and then looked at each other with the opposite party, and the warm air-conditioned room was a little cold for a while.
Xu Qiansu should be grateful that he is in the arena at the moment, not in the box.
With that, he stepped down and stood still in front of the crowd.
Kukui picked up the microphone and didn't say much, just took a deep breath and said loudly, "Let's go!" ”
Because of the large number of applicants, the competition field is divided into eight parts, which tests the eyesight of the audience, but the audition does not expect to see any particularly exciting battles, and the overall atmosphere is lively and relaxed, without any tension of the battle.
But Xu Qiansu is the No. 1 seed, and he just went to give a speech, which is attractive, and many people pay attention to him.
I don't know when Zhulan disappeared into the box, and when she reappeared, she was already wearing sunglasses and sitting in the studio.
The host is a slightly young woman, obviously a little nervous, with her hands tightly on her thighs, and her sitting posture is extremely serious.
"Good! The audition has begun, and the audience can see that the competition venue has been divided into eight sections, and I will give a live commentary in the next hour to help you analyze the situation in the field and the potential of the players...... Uh, Miss Zhulan, you, hello! ”
The female director was almost nervous to death, and even stuttered a little.
The female director's name is Heeda, and she is a famous commentator in the Guandu area, and she is very popular.
The audition is messy, there are many players, in order to let the audience have a good viewing experience, she was invited to be the commentator, it is certainly unrealistic to expect her to explain the eight venues, but it is still possible to enliven the atmosphere and introduce the winning players.
But Kukui had never told her that the Sinnoh Champion was coming!
Zhulan, a female trainer like Karunai who has stood at the top of the world, is not an exaggeration to say that it is the dream of girls all over the world.
"Hello, Kazure-san." Zhulan's voice is very soft.
"Is it convenient to ask a private question...... What is the relationship between Xu Qiansu and you? ”
The audience burst into laughter.
"Huh? Does it have anything to do with the game? Zhulan's voice was slightly troubled,
"We also want to know ...... anyway"
Click--The glass of the broadcast booth suddenly cracked, and Kazue almost let out a sharp popping sound in fright.
"Xu Qiansu's girlfriend is Gadelia, it's better not to make her angry." Zhulan kindly reminded.
"Ahem - the players from the eight major arenas have already appeared...... Hey!? The winner of the third position has been decided!? ”
"Ash, his Pikachu is indeed very strong, and even has the ability to defeat my fierce bite land shark...... Why hasn't Xu Qiansu played yet? Zhulan propped up her side face, a little bored.
"Ash's Pikachu can defeat your Fierce Bite Land Shark!?"
"He's a very unexpected player who surprises people in competitions...... So what about Xu Qian's amateur? ”
"I'll check...... Xu Qiansu is in Arena 1, and his first opponent is Lucia from Woods Town in the Galel region, she participated in the Champions Cup with Xu Qiansu, and has won seven badges so far, she is a strong player, and it is impossible to say that the two will fight again in the Galel Champions Cup...... What!? Lucia gave up!? She is a fan of Xu Qiansu, and she is currently chasing stars in the contestant room to sign autographs!? ”
The audience immediately booed, and the audience shouted things like "insider".
"Oh~ Xiao Xu is indeed very likable to girls, but it's okay to just sign it, but if he takes a group photo, Gadelia must have made him think about it tonight."
"Really? Hahaha, Xu Qiansu contestant turned out to be afraid of Miss Gardelia? ”
"In his words, it's love."
"Wait! We are the commentators of the arena, not Xu Qiansu's fan group, Miss Zhulan, please don't talk about Xu Qiansu again! ”
"Okay, I'll take care of it."
The audience laughed again, and the atmosphere was full of joy.
Kukui looked at the staff with a blank face backstage, "Why is the famous Sinnoh champion a little natural?" ”
"Pretty cute, isn't it......"
"Good! The Battle of the Six also ended the match in just thirty seconds, and I see, the winner is Shinji from the Sinnoh region! His electric shock beast is very strong! ”
"It's true, but the Electric Shock Demon Beast has been defeated miserably at Xu Qiansu's Mewtwo, I hope it can defeat the heart demon and go all the way to the finals, Shinji is a resilient player, and I believe that the same is true of the Electric Shock Demon Beast."
The electric shock monster solved the two Pokémon in high spirits, raised his chin high, twitched the corners of his eyes when he heard the words, and walked down with his head lowered and lost.
Shinji crossed his arms and said very little, looking very cold.
"Xu Qiansu still has a Mewtwo!?"
"She's a tsundere child."
"Kazueda!" This is the voice of a colleague, which means that don't pull the topic on Xu Qiansu's head anymore.
"Ahem - let's set our sights on the battlefield of Eight! I have an impression of these two players, they are ...... from the United region."
"Huh? Xu Qiansu appeared. Zhulan noticed that Xu Qiansu walked up to the battlefield, sat up a little straighter, and whispered.
"Okay, let's turn our attention to the battlefield of No. 1!"
The two contestants on the battlefield who were about to wave to the audience silently put down their hands, walked up to the stage, and released Pokémon, their backs were a little gray, which made their Pokémon very worried.
"Xu Qiansu's opponent is Kita-Shirakawa from Mirakumile Island! She toured the islands at the age of 10 and traveled around the world, and now at the age of 16 she has traveled to five regions, competing in the regional leagues every year, finishing at least in the top eight...... It's a player who is not weaker than Ash! ”
"Indeed, as Xu Qiansu said, she is undoubtedly a star of tomorrow, and she is expected to become the Four Heavenly Kings before the age of 20."
Miss Zhulan also gave the Kita-Shirakawa contestant affirmation! Kita-Shirakawa: Did you hear that? Come on! ”
"Xu Qiansu also has to work hard." Zhulan's voice is very gentle, like a bosom sister.
Nearly ninety percent of the audience in the stadium focused their attention on Arena One...... Whether Xu Qiansu is in vain or worthy of his name will only be known after fighting.
Kita Shirakawa is a cute-looking girl, facing Xu Qiansu, even if she has played many league competitions, she can't help but be nervous at the moment, but more excited...... As a trainer, it is natural to have the spirit to fight against strong enemies.
Kita-Shirakawa's first Pokémon is Tanabata Blue Bird, and MEGA evolves at the same time!
"MEGA Evolution! It is MEGA evolution! This is the result of a trip to the Carlos region! In the audition, we actually saw MEGA evolution! ”
The audience on the field instantly boiled, and MEGA evolution represents strength.
The Qixi bluebird fairy spirit is fluttering, and the feathers are as white as snow, hovering on the battlefield like a white phoenix.
"What kind of Pokémon will Xu Qiansu use? Miss Zhulan is familiar with him, which Pokémon do you think it will be? In the face of MEGA evolution, even if you don't use Mewtwo, Creselia and the Thunder Crown King, you should also send Shanaido, right? Kazueda's voice was excited.
"I don't know very well, but it's okay to send any Pokémon, because according to what I know about him, he will make every Pokémon feel involved."
"I see, a gentle handsome guy...... The mood of the Pokémon is more important than victory. ”
"Hmm...... Some are not quite accurate...... But it's not bad. "Zhulan is a little hesitant, I want to say that whether it is victory or Pokémon's mood, Xu Qiansu will not be bad...... But at this moment, in public, it still can't be too straightforward.
Xu Qiansu sent a rattan snake to play.
The audience was a little noisy.
"Fuji Rattan Snake!? Not even a monarch snake!? ”
"Look, he's touching the little face of the rattan snake...... I want to be touched ...... too."
"The side face is so handsome, so temperamental."
Kazue was also a little stunned, and immediately said in a loud voice: "Tomorrow's star Kita-Shirakawa VS star player Xu Qiansu, who will win......"
Before the sound of Kazue could completely spread away, the vine snake shot out a rattan whip, instantly spanning a distance of 100 meters, hooking a column in the audience, and the next moment it turned into an afterimage.
The Tanabata Blue Bird only saw a green afterimage flashing, and when it reacted, the vine snake had already swept behind it.
Tanabata Blue Bird subconsciously wanted to turn back and attack, but the body did not obey the call, and fell directly down, at the end of consciousness, it thought that it seemed to have lost, and hoped that its trainer would not cry.
Poof.
Tanabata Bluebird fell heavily on the floor, lost consciousness, and changed from MEGA form to its original form.
There was silence in the room.
Kita-Shirakawa reacted, gritted his teeth, put away the Tanabata bluebird, and released the fierce bite land shark.
Whew————
Like a flash of sword, the blade of the vine snake was frighteningly fast.
Not to mention fighting a round with the Pokémon of Kita-Shirakawa...... I didn't let her put it even in a move.
The Fierce Bite Land Shark only had time to raise its arms, and then it watched as the vine snake moved to its side, and the blade attacked.
Poof.
The same result was the same as the fierce bite of the land shark, and Kita-Shirakawa didn't even have time to say the command.
When the gap in hard power is so big, what's the point of attributes and tactics?
Xiao Xingyun is so restrained by Kyurem in terms of attributes, is he still at a disadvantage in the competition? Even the frozen world of Kyurem didn't dare to take it hard.
Bei Baichuan was slightly stunned, staring directly at Xu Qiansu opposite, and suddenly remembered Xu Qiansu's previous speech.
It's common to face trainers who are stronger than you, and even Sinnoh champion Zhulan doesn't dare to say that she is the number one in the world, but all we can do is work hard, and everyone is the rising star of the Alola region.
Just come on, give your all, and leave no regrets.
Oh...... It turns out that Xu Qiansu means this.
He is the one who is strong, and all they can do is work hard and leave no regrets.
Kita-Shirakawa sniffled and cried directly, feeling that his previous years as a trainer had been in vain.
Everyone is a trainer, why can your vine snake be so strong even though it hasn't even evolved?
Xu Qiansu smiled at Kita-Shirakawa and made a mouth shape of "My rattan snake has taken out all its strength" to show comfort.
After all, it is better to respect the opponent than to hide the strength and pretend to be a pig and eat a tiger.
Most of the trainers who come to the league come with dreams.
Anyone with a dream is amazing.
Bei Baichuan looked at Xu Qiansu with teary eyes, not knowing what he was talking about.
"What the hell......" Kazue's voice was very soft, obviously still in a daze, she subconsciously complained: "Xu Qiansu said that everyone is the star of tomorrow, but in fact, this guy doesn't give the stars a chance to shine at all." ”
The results of the auditions are clear.
Xu Qiansu easily entered the quarterfinals.
