Ming Zheng didn't expect that his first encounter with Sirona would be such a scene.

Looking at Aunt Juye's obvious matchmaking, Ming Zheng was so embarrassed that he was about to pull out the three-bedroom living room.

But on the surface, he can still maintain his calmness.

"Hello, Mingzheng!"

"Shirona"

Sirona nodded faintly, not asking him why he was surprised just now.

Although she didn't care so much about fame, she also knew that many people knew her, and Ming Zheng's previous surprise was not surprising.

Moreover, it was not the first time she had heard the name of Akimasa here at Kikuno Heavenly King.

"Alright, let's have a big meal!"

Kikuno said with a smile, pulling one person in each hand, and walked towards the outside of the airport with a smile.

The three of them took a twist and turn in the car, and it was a full half hour before they stopped in front of a small restaurant.

"This shop is my treasure restaurant, I used to come back from a mission, and I was counting on a good meal here to recover!"

Kikuno said hello to the restaurant owner familiarly, and then led the two of them into the private room by themselves.

Only then did they discover that the seemingly ordinary hotel had a lot of things inside.

The private room is more like a place to relax, with pools, grass, sand, and even woods directly bordering the back of the small dining table.

"It's okay to release the elves if you want to, and the restaurant owner here also has a set of elf food."

Kikuno said something, but he didn't release any elves.

Ming Zheng thought about it and released the baby dragon and the edelweiss moth.

On the other side, Sirona also released an Eevee, which is quiet and well-behaved, very cute.

When the three elves first met, they were a little reserved at first, but under the leadership of the edelweiss, they soon began to play on the grass.

Akimasa and Shirona are not people who talk much, and it is inevitable that Kikuno will be embarrassed to keep saying it.

But from time to time, the sound of the three elves playing made the atmosphere a lot more harmonious.

The meal was ordered by Kikuno, a regular customer, and while the food was served, Kikuno also took the opportunity to chat about the topic that Ming Zheng was most concerned about.

"Are you sure you're going to participate in the Sinnoh Regional Team Tryout?"

"Well, I went to Kanto and Hoen, and now I am qualified to join."

Kikuno smiled, knowing that his nephew was still modest when he spoke.

"If it goes well, you'll be teammates with Cortana in the future.

Cortana is very powerful, and in less than a year after joining, she has defeated all the players in Group B and successfully won the captain's position. ”

Akimasa was not surprised by Kikuno's address to Sirona, and then he heard the latter's glorious achievements, and he had to say that he admired it.

Defeat them all, and it sounds so domineering!

He is truly the youngest champion in the future Sinnoh region.

Ming Zheng looked at it in admiration, and Sirona only smiled faintly and nodded politely.

Looking down, she stared at the grilled wings platter.

Judging from today's intake, she can eat one more chicken wing at most, but which one should she choose?

It's hard!

On the other hand, Kikuno started a new topic, mainly to Xiang Mingzheng.

"The registration requirements for the regional representative selection competition are very strict, but the selection method is not difficult, and the selection of Group B is very straightforward."

Ming Zheng nodded, the team has to send fresh blood every year and eliminate players who do not meet the standards, and the system can be described as strict.

But in this case, there are a lot of bells and whistles, and everything is done for the purpose of getting better results.

Therefore, the selection naturally also depends on strength.

Kikuno continued: "The format of the Group B selection tournament is a challenge to climb the tower, and the number of elves that can be used by trainers throughout the challenge is 9.

During the challenge, the trainers who participated in the selection will enter the battle tower in turn and start the challenge from the first floor.

Each level has different challenges, including but not limited to singles, doubles, triples, mixed battles, free battles, temporary combination battles, and more.

The final ranking of the number of floors that the contestants have challenged within the specified time limit will determine the number of selected places. ”

"Auntie, how many people are selected, can you see the progress of others in real time?" When Ming Zheng heard this, he couldn't help but ask.

"Last year, when Shirona participated, 13 newcomers were finally selected, and this year's number is only a small number," said Kikuno, who also looked at Shirona with admiration.

"Because the average performance of last year's batch was very good, the team will limit the number of places this year."

"The real-time rankings you mentioned are also available, and all the players who have participated, are participating and waiting can be seen in real time, and the pressure is all the time!"

Ming Zheng nodded, he was not afraid of pressure, such a challenge that could be compared, but he did not have to expose all his strength.

Kikuno was not in a hurry, Ming Zheng digested the previous content, and then said again.

"There are also many restrictions during the challenge, and the number of elves cannot be increased in any form such as transfers, on-the-spot evolution, and egg hatching.

Do not use any potions, food, or even water to help the elves recover.

For example, spirits with the Water Storage trait are not allowed to regain their stamina by feeding them water from the trainer, but they are allowed to recover by withstanding attacks from other water spirits.

Mingzheng, do you know what this means? ”

"Auxiliary elves are important!"

"Yes!"

Kikuno clapped his hands, but then shook his head again.

"It's very important, but if you slow down the pace of the challenge because of small losses, it's not good."

"What does Auntie mean is that because the challenge has a time limit, adjusting the state too often is easy to be surpassed by other players?"

"Yes, after all, there is a time limit for the challenge, how long will the last one be?"

"3 hours"

Sirona replied briefly, then lowered her head again and took a satisfied bite of Orleans-flavored chicken wings.

"Well, 3 hours, it's not long, but it's not short!

What's more, once an elf loses its combat power, it will not be able to continue to use it in the next challenge unless it is exchanged for one by one using a skill such as Healing Wish.

Therefore, when to treat, to whom, and to what extent are all things that the trainer himself has to grasp.

And the vast majority of trainers lasted less than three hours before they were wiped out and ended early. ”

After Kikuno finished speaking, there was silence at the dinner table, only the sound of three elves playing on the side.

Akira was pondering, because the situations that Kikuno said were indeed things he hadn't considered before, and all kinds of thoughts kept popping up in his mind for a while.

Sirona, who realized it later, raised her head, and always felt that she should say something in such an atmosphere.

"Actually......"

Akimasa and Kikuno both looked at Sirona, quietly waiting for her next step.

"Actually, whether it's singles, doubles, or any other format, it's all about fighting in the end.

Choose a main battle elf to strengthen, give it all the auxiliary support, and use it to push all the way through......" Sirona considered her words for a moment, and then said: "It's ...... Fast"

Push through?

Pretty fast?

Ming Zheng took a deep breath, you just hesitated, obviously you just wanted to say it's quite simple, right!

On the side, Kikuno couldn't help laughing, the tactics that Sirona said really fit her fighting style.

Domineering and strong, but also risky.

If the ace elf suddenly falls, this result will definitely not be better than a steady fight.

But regardless of the grades, don't say it...... Winning and losing is really fast.

But after laughing, Kikuno was still worried that Ming Zheng would be competitive, so he really used such a method, and then hurriedly added: "There are thousands of tactics, and the one that suits you is the best."

Sirona's Fierce Bite Land Shark has now metamorphosed to the Quasi-Heavenly King level, but the other elves have not followed.

Cortana: Haven't you been facing a lot of challenges lately? ”

Hearing this, although there was no timidity in Sirona's eyes, she still showed a little annoyance.

The ones who challenged her were all defeated, but due to the rules of the team, Sirona couldn't use the Fierce Bite Land Shark that had been transformed when she was challenged by the other members of Group B.

She didn't lose, but every time she fought it was a lot tougher, it was already a problem for her.

And Kikuno mentioned these at this time, which was also a reminder to Mingzheng.

It may seem easy to specialize in one elf, but it is at a disadvantage in the team.

Aces can be had, but balanced development in the team is also important.

Ming Zheng nodded in understanding, but he also knew that the future Sirona had taken the path of the ace elf to the extreme, and a fierce bite land shark almost swept the entire Sinnoh region.

It's powerful, but it's not really for Mingzheng.

In this way, it is necessary to think more about the arrangement of the tryouts.

The meal lasted for an hour, and Kikuno was mainly talking about the whole meal, and Akimasa and Shirona were listening.

After roughly talking to Akimasa about the team tryouts, Kikuno began to export his experience in various aspects such as elf training, training, and battles.

It's not systematic, it's not fixed, but these flashes of inspiration have also benefited Ming Zheng and the two a lot.

As a veteran king, Kikuno has a lot of experience that is far beyond the current Sirona, so she sometimes listens more seriously than Akimasa.

But Mingzheng and Sirona, except for the names of each other at the beginning, they didn't say a word at the end.

But in this way, it is also harmonious.

After eating, Kikuno sent Akimasa to the Devon Hotel, and then took Shirona from the lodging house back to the Sinnoh branch.

Before officially joining the team, Akimasa rejected his aunt Kikuno's plan to let him live in his own house and stayed in a hotel temporarily.

Anyway, after being selected, a dormitory will be allocated, and it is more convenient to live in a hotel now.

For example, processing some information.

Real Bird: You're finally back! The latest information of the King Kong team and all the information of this selection tournament have been sent to you, don't let the boss (and me) down~

Ming Zheng smiled, is this bracket a little deliberate.

After a simple reply, Ming Zheng looked at the information collected by the real bird.

In addition to the rule information that she had already obtained from her aunt, what Zhenniao had collected for her was naturally more about the other contestants.

Soon, Mingzheng saw a lot of familiar names, and he couldn't help but secretly look forward to it.

Was the last session excellent?

I shouldn't be bad this time, right......

In this way, 5 days passed in a flash.

And the selection of the regional team also started quietly in the battle tower of the Sinnoh Alliance without any publicity.

Battle Tower, a special building of the Sinnoh Division, the whole tower has only one function, which is the battle.

It is said that the strength of the battle tower has been specially treated, and it can fully support all battles at the Heavenly King level and below.

Although I don't know whether it's true or not, it's more than enough for Mingzheng to use them.

Now, the battle tower has been emptied, and the tower guards on each floor have been arranged, and now they are waiting for Ming Zheng and them to come in and break through.

On the first floor of the battle tower, the waiting trainers were scattered in the hall, so it didn't seem that there were many people.

However, the data shows that there are half a hundred players participating in this year's session, which is lower than the 5:1 selection ratio, which also shows the difficulty.

Although there is no specific age limit for the players who can participate in the selection competition, most of them are between 18 and 30 years old.

Mingzheng is the youngest batch in it.

At eight o'clock, the bell of the battle tower struck punctually.

The doors of the five elevators, which are usually very busy, were opened at the same time, and each of them had a staff member, waiting for the first batch of players to enter.

On the big screen, five names suddenly appeared in the first row, and they corresponded to the number of five elevators.

There was no opening, no leader spoke, and no one even announced the rules, and the tryouts began so simply.

Ming Zheng is not in the first batch, so he can observe more.

According to my aunt, it is almost difficult to use up 3 hours per person in theory.

The reason why the last session was excellent was that in addition to Sirona who directly cleared the level, there were also 5 players who persevered for more than 3 hours.

This time......

Bite!

I saw that the No. 2 elevator had just gone up to the 2nd floor for less than 3 minutes, why was the mark [↓] displayed at this moment?

Ming Zheng immediately looked at the big screen, but saw that the No. 2 player named Yingnan, whose name had turned gray, had passed the level.

Floor 0!

The hall, where there was still some discussion, suddenly fell silent, and everyone's attention to the selection competition couldn't help but rise several notches.

Mingzheng is also related in his heart.

Don't...... Is he really the worst this time?

Fortunately, the remaining four in the first batch did not have a score of layer 0, and they broke through several layers smoothly all the way, and then someone was defeated at layer 4.

When everyone saw this, they all breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, it shouldn't have increased the difficulty, but there was just an exception.

The eliminated staircase also quickly descended to the first floor, and the next contestant continued the challenge.

An hour later, only one of the first batch of 5 people was still challenging the 7th floor.

The other 4 have all been eliminated.

Three hours is a bit ironic now!

At this time, there was a sudden noise in the empty hall, and Ming Zheng subconsciously looked at it, and then saw two of them that he was familiar with in the information.

A flaming exploding head, a golden hedgehog head.

The hairstyles are so distinctive, it's hard not to recognize them.

Daye, the future fire king of the Sinnoh region!

Denji, the future strongest gym owner in the Sinnoh region!

And since knowing that these two people are in the same session as himself, Ming Zheng knows that they are not weak this time!

Not Campus Stream! Will continue to travel in the future!
