Chapter 318 The preliminaries begin
Daigo smiled and teased, "Why, Yiyi doesn't welcome me?"
Qingyi: "No way, I'm also very happy that Brother Dawu can come!"
Shinji: "Sister Takeran, Brother Daigo, Aunt Junko and Uncle Sakaki are staying at the hotel, let's go there first!"
"Okay, let's go!" Zhulan held her sister's hand, and the two sisters walked in front.
On the way to the hotel, Zhulan and Qingyi had a very happy chat.
Daigo and Shinji followed behind them, listening quietly.
………………
"Hyokigo, use ice beam!"
"Yiyi, be careful!"
In the afternoon, sisters Qingyi and Zhulan went out shopping. Later, when Zhulan was following Qingyi back to the athletes' village, they passed by a sand field and were met by a beam of freezing light.
Zhulan quickly protected her sister behind her, and Liexiao Lu Shark stood in front of her.
Garchomp's solid wings blocked the freezing beam!
"Sister Zhulan, Qingyi, are you okay?" Xiaozhi also realized that he almost got into trouble and hurried over.
Xiaogang followed him.
"It's okay, Garchomp helped us block the attack!" Zhulan retracted Garchomp and said gently.
"Xiaozhi, you are still so reckless!" Qingyi walked out from behind Zhulan, and said with her arms crossed after seeing Xiaozhi.
"I'm sorry, I was just training the Ice Demon Guard and I couldn't control myself for a moment..." Xiaozhi apologized quickly.
Zhulan looked at Xiaozhi, then looked at the Ice Demon Guard beside him, and said, "It's okay, Xiaozhi. But you still have to pay attention to safety during future training!"
"Okay, I understand, Sister Zhulan." Xiaozhi said with his head down.
"Pikachu and Ice Guardian are very energetic!" Zhulan touched Pikachu and Ice Guardian and said with a smile: "Xiaozhi, do your best in the Caiyou Conference!"
"Pika~chu~"
Pikachu called out, narrowing his eyes.
Xiaozhi looked up at Zhulan with a serious look in his eyes, "Well, I will try my best, Sister Zhulan!"
"I still have to fight Qingyi!" He looked at Qingyi with a fighting spirit, "Qingyi, do you remember that you said that after my Wood Gecko evolves, you would let the Forest Lizard fight it!"
"Of course I remember!" Qingyi nodded, "But my forest lizard has evolved into a lizard king, so I'll save this battle for the tournament!"
Then, she added: "Don't be eliminated at the beginning, I'll be waiting for you in the finals!"
"I will definitely make it to the finals!" Xiaozhi said confidently.
Qingyi couldn't help but smile when she saw his confident look.
Xiaozhi always says this, but has he ever really come true?
"Ms. Zhulan! You are Miss Zhulan!" At this time, a chubby boy ran up to Zhulan and said excitedly.
His name is Masamune, and he is a good friend that Xiaozhi knows.
Masamune was originally chasing after the big rice ball that he had dropped on the ground and was rolling around, but when he saw Takeran, he was so excited that he ignored the rice ball and rushed to Takeran.
"Masamune!" Xiaozhi shouted happily when he saw his good friend.
"Asahi, Baka!" Masamune glanced at Satoshi and Baka as a greeting to them, then looked at Takeran and spoke stutteringly.
"Ms. Zhu...Ms. Zhulan, I...I admire you very much! Can you sign an autograph for me?"
As he spoke, Masamune took out his notebook and pen and handed them to Takeran with an expectant look on his face.
The Sinnoh champion, Miss Takeran, the youngest champion in the league, he finally met her in person today!
How could I not be excited? I had to get his autograph no matter what!
Zhulan has always been gentle to others, let alone a trainer who admires her, so she naturally couldn't bear to refuse Masamune's request.
She took the notebook and pen from Masamune with a smile and signed her name. "You are here to participate in the Caiyou Conference as well, right? You should also work hard! Try to get a good result!"
Masamune took the book with great excitement, holding it in his arms as if it were a treasure, "Thank you, Miss Takeran! I will definitely work hard!"
Then, as if he had forgotten that he had already greeted Xiaozhi and Xiaogang, "Xiaozhi, Xiaogang, you are here too."
Xiaozhi looked at him speechlessly. This guy only had Sister Zhulan in his eyes.
Xiao Gang patted Masamune's shoulder, "Okay, don't forget your big rice ball."
After Xiaogang reminded him, Masamune remembered his big rice ball, and quickly ran over to pick it up and blew away the sand on it, "Fortunately, it's only the surface that is dirty."
Zhulan took Qingyi's hand and said to Xiaozhi and the other two, "Okay, you guys can play by yourselves. Yiyi and I are leaving first!"
"Goodbye! Sister Zhulan, Qingyi!" Xiaozhi waved goodbye to the sisters.
"The next time we meet will be on the field, and I will definitely win!" Xiaozhi said confidently, clenching his fists.
After saying goodbye to Xiaozhi and his group, Zhulan and Qingyi continued walking towards the athletes' village dormitories.
"Sister, what do you think is the possibility that Xiaozhi can make it to the finals?" Qingyi turned to look at Zhulan with a hint of curiosity in her eyes.
Zhulan smiled and said: "Xiaozhi... He is a trainer who can't be looked at with ordinary eyes and has great potential. As long as he goes all out, I believe he will be able to achieve good results!"
After that, Zhulan added, "But, our Yiyi will definitely not lose!"
"Of course, I want to become a champion like my sister in the future!" Qingyi said with a look of longing.
Zhulan gently touched Qingyi's head: "Sister believes that Yiyi will definitely do it! Everyone has their own growth path, Yiyi has one, Xiaozhi has one too!"
The two sisters walked and talked, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the door of the room.
After sending Qingyi to the dormitory, Zhulan was about to return to the hotel.
When she was walking out of the athletes' village, a man with a strong aura and a mysterious air passed by her.
This made Zhulan couldn't help but take a few more glances.
The man was wearing a dark red coat and had long wavy blue-gray hair draped behind him.
Although he looked gentle and elegant, Zhulan could feel that this man's true character was probably not as gentle as he appeared to be.
When Zhulan was looking at this man, he suddenly turned around and looked at Zhulan, and gave her a strange smile. His deep eyes were like a bottomless abyss, as if to pull people in.
Zhulan frowned as she watched the man walk into the athletes' village.
She feels...
This person is so weird!
Gives her a very bad feeling!
No, she had to tell her aunt and let her check this person's identity!
Thinking of this, Zhulan hurried back to the hotel.
………………
Early the next morning.
Qingyi got up, had breakfast, and came to the Caiyou Conference venue accompanied by Shinji.
Today is the day for the Caiyou Conference preliminaries, which will eliminate the more than 600 contestants to only about 200.
The preliminaries are one-on-one battles, and you can only use Pokémon that have been registered before the game to participate.
Qingyi had registered the Pokémon she would use for the competition the afternoon before.
The venue of the Caiyou Conference is built on the water and is a very spectacular water sports venue.
Amidst the warm applause from the audience, the Caiyou Conference preliminaries kicked off.
On the sandy ground outside the venue, many contestants gathered here, stretching their backs and legs to make the best preparation.
Qingyi looked at the blue-gray-haired man standing not far away, and remembered what her mother and sister had said to her before they went to the audience seats.
Tell her to be careful of a man with blue-gray hair and a crimson coat.
Because of the two of them, plus the help of their father and brother Daigo, they couldn't find any information about this person.
It was as if this person appeared out of nowhere, and there was no trace of him in the Sinnoh, Kanto, Hoenn, and Johto regions.
This is very abnormal!
At this moment, Qingyi was very confused when she saw this person on the sand where the contestants gathered.
This is where the contestants gather. The accompanying personnel have already gone to the audience seats, so this mysterious man must be a contestant!
Mom and Dad couldn't find any trace of this person, so where did he get the eight badges to participate in the Caiyou Conference?
Because as long as he challenges the gym, it will be impossible for mom and dad to not find out any information about him.
Xiaozhi on the other side saw Qingyi staring in one direction, so he ran over and asked, "Qingyi, what are you looking at?"
Qingyi came back to her senses and said vaguely: "I didn't see anything, I was just thinking about something!"
"Oh!" Xiaozhi responded and scratched his head.
Why did he feel that Qingyi was hiding something from him?
Before he had time to think deeply, he saw his good friend Masamune running over and said breathlessly: "Xiaozhi, so you are here, I finally found you!"
Xiaozhi: "Masamune! I was just thinking about looking for you, but I didn't expect you to come here!"
Qingyi also nodded slightly and smiled at Zhengzong, "Hello!"
Masamune looked at Qingyi very enthusiastically, "I know you, Miss Qingyi, you are Miss Zhulan's sister, and you were the first place in the last Quartz Conference in the Kanto region!"
"My name is Masamune, we met yesterday!"
"I know!" Qingyi smiled and nodded.
Masamune looked at Xiaozhi excitedly, "By the way, Xiaozhi, my match will start soon, and my opponent will be a trainer with an Electabuzz."
"Electabuzz..." Xiaozhi thought.
His deepest impression of Electabuzz was Shinji's cool and badass Electabuzz.
Although he has a rebellious personality, he is really strong!
Masamune smiled confidently, "Don't worry, Xiaozhi, I'm fully prepared. My iron dumbbells are very strong!"
Qingyi said, "Zhengzong, I hope you can pass the preliminaries!"
"Xiaozhi, Miss Qingyi, when is your competition?" Masamune asked again.
Qingyi: "My game is behind."
Xiaozhi: "I'm the same as Qingyi, I'm behind in the competition!"
"That's good." Masamune breathed a sigh of relief, "I'm looking forward to meeting Xiaozhi and Miss Qingyi in the arena. I will definitely do my best then!"
After saying that, Masamune turned and walked towards the competition venue.
Xiaozhi looked at his back and silently cheered him on in his heart.
Soon, the competition began.
Masamune sent out his Iron Dumbbell, while his opponent sent out Electabuzz.
Although Iron Dumbbell was suppressed by Electric Beast at the beginning, the situation was not optimistic.
However, Masamune calmed down and took command, and still defeated the opponent's Electabuzz, but it was a narrow victory!
The preliminaries were in full swing, and soon it was Xiaozhi's turn. His opponent was a fighting trainer named Yuanqi, who sent out a flying kicker.
Xiaozhi naturally sent out Pikachu.
Once the game started, both sides fought back and forth, neither giving in.
At the critical moment, Xiaozhi commanded Pikachu to use Iron Tail and defeated Flying Legs in one fell swoop.
Xiaozhi won the game smoothly, and he and Pikachu jumped up excitedly.
There are not many people after Xiaozhi, and that’s Qingyi’s match.
Qingyi walked to the battlefield. She looked towards the audience and saw Junko and others sitting together.
She subconsciously gave them a smile.
"Yiyi, come on!" Shinji waved at her and said loudly.
Junko and Takeran also made a heart shape to her.
Sakaki and Daigo became much more reserved and waved to her with a smile.
Qingyi was in a good mood after receiving encouragement from her family.
"Now, the preliminary round between Qingyi and Duoli begins!" The referee in yellow looked at the two, raised the flag and announced, "The match begins!"
Dolly: "Go, Absol!"
Qingyi: "Come out, Shakila!"
At Shakira's strong request, Qingyi sent it out to fight the first battle.
After all, she knew in advance that the opponent she was matched with was someone Shakira could handle.
[Shakira, Rock + Ground, Bullet Pokémon. ]
[Potential: Champion level]
[Gender: Male]
[Level: Level 32]
[Features: Shedding (sometimes cures abnormal conditions by shedding the skin)]
[Skills: Impact, Staring, Screech, Iron Head, Sandstorm, Rock Slide, Scary Face, Shoot Down, Earthquake, Digging, Invisible Rock, Sharp Stone Attack, Rock Blockade, Iron Wall]
Dolly: "Absol, use Chase!"
Absol rushed towards Shakira quickly, the blade and claws on its head flashing with sharp light, ready to give Shakira a fatal blow.
But Qingyi would not just sit there and wait for the other party to attack, "Shakira, dodge and use sandstorm!"
As soon as she finished speaking, Shakira nimbly dodged Absol's attack by moving sideways, and then a strong wind surged around her body, blowing up a thick sandstorm.
Everyone's vision was blocked and they couldn't see the situation inside the sandstorm for a while.
But Qingyi is an exception.
She has the power of Evergreen to assist her, and has reached new heights since her powers were restored.
Even if she doesn't deliberately use the power of Tokiwa, she can still hear and see clearly.
Qingyi: "Shakira, use rock block!"
Shakira threw many rocks at Absol, blocking its movement in the sandstorm.
Dolly couldn't see the situation inside the sandstorm, so he could only defend according to Qingyi's moves, "Absol, use See Through!"
Absol's eyes glowed faintly, and he entered a defensive state, completely blocking the attack of the rock.
