Inside the training ground of the regional team.

Rondo lowered his head, not daring to look directly at the person in front of him.

Ming Zheng turned his head to look, and then lowered his head slightly...... That's when I saw each other.

President Damalan?

No, it's not!

He had only met Dama Lanqi at the award ceremony two days ago, and although the person in front of him was very similar to him, some subtleties were still very different.

"Akimasa, this is the chief instructor of our Kanto regional team, Mr. Dama Lando!"

Seeing that Ming Zheng was stunned, Rondo immediately understood that he had misunderstood, and this incident was not uncommon.

Ming Zheng opened his mouth, and finally shouted softly.

"Teacher Damalando"

"Are you the champion of this year's lily of the valley conference?"

Mingzheng nodded, "Yes." ”

"Well, there's no pretense of modesty," Dama Lando nodded, and then said again, "Want to join the regional team?" ”

Such a direct inquiry made Lingling, who was following behind, feel like her throat.

In just a few sentences, Ming Zheng has roughly seen the character of Dama Lando.

He said directly: "I want to join, but the current strength is not enough." ”

Dama Landuo glared: "Why not enough?" ”

"I only have four hall master-level elves at the moment, and I haven't met the minimum criteria to join the team."

"Four?"

This next round Damalando was surprised, he has been leading the Kanto team all year round and knows the young talents of his region very well.

He knew a long time ago that King Kikuko had a good junior named Kikura, and this year he happened to go to the Sinnoh region to participate in the league tournament.

But Ju Liang returned with a feather, and finally only got a runner-up to come back.

Dama Landuo knew that Ju Liang's Pavilion Master-level elves had already exceeded 6, but they were defeated by Ming Zheng, who only had four Pavilion Master-level elves, and this was not just the gap between the two elves.

"Mingzheng, dare to let me see your strength?"

Ming Zheng was stunned and asked directly: "What do you think?" ”

I saw Dama Lando look at Rondo, who had always kept his head down.

"You, have a 2v2 doubles battle with him, with the strongest strength!"

Rondo raised his head, not daring to be angry or speak, he could only cast an apologetic look at Ming Zheng.

"Brother Mingzheng, be careful in a moment!"

"Don't worry, come on!"

Ming Zheng said with a smile, it was not false for him to fight against each other, and he had never been afraid of fighting at the same level.

Someone fights, which can naturally attract a group of people who eat melons, not to mention that one of them is the champion of the Lily of the Valley Conference.

And somehow it was spread, and it was rumored that Ming Zheng came to kick the gym, and happened to meet Teacher Dama Lando, and then asked him to fight with Rondo.

"If you win, this is called Mingzheng's fear that it will really enter the teacher's eyes."

"A big tournament champion is just a child's game, see how long he can be arrogant?"

"If you can't eat grapes, you can't get the top eight of the competition at this age, right?"

"You're ......!"

Someone ridiculed, and naturally someone refuted.

And Mingzheng's championship is still very valuable in the end, at most, they can only let them talk about it, but no one really thinks that Mingzheng is incompetent.

And unconsciously, Ming Zheng and Rondo have each stood on the command platform, and the full-time referee of the training ground has also silently come to his place.

In the 2v2 doubles match, the rules of the game are very simple, after both elves on both sides lose their ability to fight, the game is over.

The moment the referee waved the flag, Rondo and Akimasa sent their respective elves almost at the same time.

Shuttlecock cotton! Flash: Metal Monster!

King Nido! Charizard!

is worthy of being a member of the second echelon of Group B of the representative team, Rondo's two elves are already senior hall owners, while Ming Zheng's two trump cards are only the primary hall owners.

"The battle begins!"

As soon as the referee's voice fell, the four elves moved at the same time.

With a wave of the shuttlecock cotton's small hand, the tailwind took effect, and the speed of himself and the metal monster doubled instantly.

And the metal monster took advantage of the tailwind, and the last shot came first, and a bullet punch had already hit King Nido in the face.

So fast!

"Hot air! Flame Fist! ”

Rondo had completely changed his appearance during the battle, and his serious face was even a little fierce.

In the face of King Nido's attack, he didn't even bother to take a look.

Start fighting back!

Charizard's speed is not slow, and the moment it takes off, it flaps its wings wildly, and the scorching strong wind roars all over the field, pointing directly at the shuttlecock cotton in the distance.

King Nido is even more ferocious, after receiving the bullet punch, his face is almost crooked, but he still stares at the metal monster, the sandbag-sized fist is wrapped in flames, and the backhand is two punches!

Airplanes!

The blue to purple superpower light erupted, and the metal monster used its spiritual power at close range, and was stunned to suppress King Nido's flame fist attack.

Under the restraint of attributes, King Nido was tortured, and a pair of flame fists were close by a fraction, but he just couldn't touch the metal monster.

"Cotton Cotton~"

A cute voice sounded from high in the sky, and Charizard looked up, but could only see a dark shadow looming under the sun.

The sun was dazzling, and Charizard subconsciously narrowed his eyes slightly, but at the same time, he also heard the command of the trainer Rondo.

"Yan returns to rush forward!"

After all, it was a hall master-level elf, and Charizard instinctively sensed that something was wrong, and its wings that were ready to be launched slammed out, instantly turning into arrows and flying forward.

At the same time, colorful cotton spores fell from the sky, and under the light breeze, they formed a dreamy tornado and swept away in the direction of Charizard.

Charizard fled, but the tornado continued to spread.

The first to bear the brunt is the two elves on the ground who are still wrestling.

Crash~

The rainbow cotton spores spread out, completely drowning King Nido and the metal monsters.

And the fire-breathing dragon in the air came back to its senses, and three drops of cold sweat couldn't help but flow out of the rebellious dragon's face.

It's obviously a beautiful rainbow cotton spores, but it makes it feel extremely threatened.

"Charizard, hot wind! King Nido, the power of the earth! ”

"One more time! Thunderbolt Punch! ”

Ming Zheng gave a rare command, and Shuttlecock immediately turned his head and applauded Charizard gently.

But I saw that Charizard's half-flapped wings stopped suddenly, and then retracted them, and rushed towards the shuttlecock cotton at great speed.

Once again, Charizard had to use the Swallow Return attack.

At this moment, a silver light mixed with a blue arc of electricity rushed out of the rainbow cotton spores, and the target was Charizard!

And the king of Nido underground, but there was no movement.

Yan returned, and there was no tension on Shuttlecock Cotton's face, and he relaxed his body at will, and was easily pushed away from the dangerous position by the air current.

When Charizard Yan stopped, the metal monster's lightning fist came as scheduled, hitting Charizard in the back fiercely.

Preference is where its wings connect!

With a wail, Charizard fell from the sky, kicking up a large amount of smoke.

The air flow dispersed, and it also blew away the rainbow cotton spores, revealing the frowning and sleeping King Nido inside.

The referee raised the flag and announced the end of the game.

Mingzheng wins!

Although Charizard has not yet completely fallen, King Nido will still have the strength to fight if he wakes up.

But after all, it's just training, and there's no need to wait until the elf is completely unconscious, as is the case in the official competition.

The metal monster flew back, and the shuttlecock cotton fell, and the latter took the initiative to heal Charizard and King Nido, and the grass field and aromatherapy were used one after another, and soon they all woke up.

The defeat was naturally uncomfortable, but looking at the shuttlecock cotton who took the initiative to treat them, Charizard and King Nido couldn't be fierce after all.

Rondo approached silently and touched his partners one by one, feeling uncomfortable, but there was no unwillingness.

Until the end of the battle, Shuttlecock Cotton and the Metal Monster did not suffer much damage, and the gap can be imagined.

At this time, Dama Lando also walked over, glanced at Rondo but didn't say anything more.

He turned his head to look at Ming Zheng again, "Ju Liang is not wronged if he loses to you, so sign up as soon as possible if you meet the conditions." ”

As soon as the words fell, there was an uproar around.

Most of the people who can get in here are members of the team, except for a few excellent existences, who didn't have to work hard to get in at the beginning.

Now that Ming Zheng has fought a battle, he has been directly recognized by Dama Lando.

Although this battle was indeed wonderful and beautiful, surprise, envy and jealousy were born from everyone's hearts.

Why?

“…… Thank you, teacher, for your kindness," Ming Zheng was silent for two seconds and thanked him softly.

He watched as the crowd of onlookers grew, but he didn't finish the rest of his words.

But Dama Lando saw it, and then asked directly.

"You're hesitant and don't want to come?"

There was another uproar, and this time it was even more lively, and many people felt that Ming Zheng was not too arrogant.

Dama Lando's invitation, he would hesitate.

Ming Zheng was helpless, he knew that it would be like this.

Although he wants to join the regional team, it doesn't mean that he has to join the Kanto regional team.

The water in the Kanto region is too deep, Team Rocket, Alliance Headquarters, Ming Family...... All of them have a lot to do with him, and to be honest, Kanto is really not the first choice.

Ming Zheng opened his mouth to explain, but suddenly heard a roar from Dama Lando.

"Shut up!!"

In an instant, the audience was silent, and many people even silently retreated to the crowd, for fear of being locked by Dama Lando.

Then, Dama Lando turned his head to look at Ming Zheng again.

"I only asked you to sign up as soon as possible, and I didn't say that I would let you report the name of the Kanto team.

The regional teams are the same for the headquarters. ”

Hearing this, Mingzheng's heart was relieved.

Although Dama Lando has a direct and irascible personality, he is not careful.

"Thank you, Mr. Damalando, I will consider it carefully before meeting the conditions."

This time, Dama Lando just nodded and stopped talking, instead turning to look at the team members who were joining in the fun.

"The regional competitions are coming to an end, and the next batch of newcomers will join soon.

Take a good look at your own strength, and there are a few people here who have won the new tournament championship.

Those who don't have enough strength, instead of spending here, it is better to find a way out as soon as possible! ”

The direct, realistic, and cruel words made the faces of everyone present white.

Except for a few people who were still calm, most of the others couldn't help but look at the silent Mingzheng again.

A new generation replaces the old, and although they are only in their early 20s, most people will not be stronger because of time and accumulation.

Any reason to stagnate, can only be eliminated in the end.

……

"I'm sorry, I obviously wanted to take you to experience the training atmosphere of the team in advance, but I didn't expect to meet the teacher, and he didn't come today according to his habit."

At the gate of the training ground, Rondo had already retracted his depressed expression, and even took the initiative to apologize to Mingzheng.

"No, it's been a good day! I was lucky to meet Mr. Damalando, and I was able to see the most authentic regional team.

Behind the glamorous honor, there are still so many trainers working hard to persevere. ”

Rondo smiled, and although Mingzheng's words were flat, they somehow brought him some strength.

"Yes, talent is not enough, only persistence! I can walk slowly, but I can't stop walking! ”

Rondo said, more like to himself.

The two said goodbye, and only Mingzheng and Lingling were left.

"The headquarters has also been visited, are there any arrangements for the next?" Ming Zheng took the initiative to ask.

Lingling smiled: "You know, it's the turn of the incorporation link."

After she finished speaking, she continued: "But I already know the answer, do you want to accumulate strength and directly sign up for the regional team after meeting the conditions?" ”

"Well, but it doesn't have to be the Kanto team."

Mingzheng nodded, emphasizing again.

"Well, as Minister Damalando said, it's the same for the league headquarters to join any team."

Lingling said with a smile, she herself represented the headquarters.

Although the Kwantung Alliance and the headquarters of the alliance are located in the same area, there has long been a clear division of ranks and positions, but outsiders are not clear and often confuse them.

"Okay, then I'm relieved......"

Ming Zheng smiled, his eyes inadvertently glanced to the side, and he couldn't help but be surprised.

"What's wrong?"

Seeing this, Lingling took a look at the situation.

Ming Zheng didn't have time to stop it, so he could only explain softly: "I seem to have seen the Xia Bo Pavilion Master, is it him?" ”

"Well, it's the owner of the Xia Bo Pavilion and the owner of the Sakaki Pavilion, they should have come to the headquarters for a meeting.

Calculate the time, the Eighth Avenue Pavilion selection competition should start soon. ”

Lingling had no doubts, and even took the initiative to explain.

After all, Xia Bo and Sakaki are both one of the Eight Avenue Pavilions in the Kanto region at present, and it is not surprising that Akimasa knows them.

At this time, Ming Zheng couldn't calm down in his heart.

He had a hunch that either tonight or tomorrow morning, Sakaki would come to see him in his true identity!

"I would like to ask, I may stay for two more days, how long can I stay in that room?"

"I'll help you arrange for a stay for as long as you need, no more than a month."

"Then thank you, just two or three days."

At this point, what Ming Zheng had to do when he came to the alliance headquarters was over.

Next, he should have listened to the arrangement of the real bird and waited for the summons of Boss Sakaki.

But since Sakaki is here, he wants to see himself here.

Separated from Lingling, Ming Zheng returned to the room alone and took out the contact.

Sure enough, the real bird has already sent a message.

[At 8 o'clock tonight, dormitory area No. 1008, meet the boss! ] 】

Ming Zheng took a deep breath, is it finally here?

This efficiency, this guts, is worthy of Sakaki!

Time flashed and it was night, and Ming Zheng was wearing a sportswear and dressed up as a night runner.

He ran slowly through the accommodation area, and came to No. 1008, which happened to be 7:55.

Then, seeing the special sign at the doorway, he silently ran another half circle and went around to the back of the house.

And the desolate backyard door has been quietly opened......
