The next day, Xiaozhi and the others met with Manchong and once again came to the square on the outskirts of Green Shadow Town.
At this moment, a wrap-around viewing seat has been set up here, and spectators are taking their seats one after another.
Looking at the lively discussions around it, it seems that the popularity of the ring competition is not low.
"Well done, you guys~!"
Xiaogang gave some last encouragement, and after smelling the smell, he ran into the crowd and disappeared.
Nurturing sisters can be seen everywhere!
Xiaozhi and the other three successfully arrived at the place where the contestants were taking their seats, waiting for the game to begin.
Last night, Xiaozhi and Xiaolan completed the registration at the buzzer.
"Your long-winged gull is no good. You didn't feel comfortable being taught a lesson yesterday, but you still have the guts to compete today~?"
But at this moment, a rather arrogant voice came from the waiting area.
Xiaozhi raised his eyebrows and even felt that the voice was very familiar...
"Humph! Yesterday was just a mistake. Today my long-winged gull will get back all the pocket money I lost yesterday!!"
The boy in shorts just said unwillingly.
Using pocket money as a bet to fight Pokémon was a rule in the early days... but now, it doesn't happen very often.
"Hmph, then today I will win all your pants together~! Ahaha!!"
The man with blue hair like kelp put his hands on his hips and laughed loudly.
He has a rather handsome face and is wearing a white uniform with a big purple "R" logo on his chest.
"Kojiro?!"
Xiaozhi couldn't help but blurt out.
The arrogant man is a member of the Rockets trio, and he even competes openly without any disguise.
Kojiro: "!"
Xiaozhi's voice made Kojiro tremble, and his laughter suddenly stopped.
Suddenly he looked around as if he were facing a formidable enemy, as if he was afraid that several Miss Junsha would pounce on him at any time.
It took a while for Kojiro to react.
Today he is here to compete seriously.
"Yeah, why should I be panicking?"
Damn muscle memory!
Today he neither steals nor robs, and is a pure and good citizen.
Not to mention that Team Rocket was originally a neutral NPC in the Fangyuan area and was not on Miss Junsha's blacklist.
"Little devil? And little girl, do you two also want to participate?"
Kojiro's eyes suddenly became fierce, and he glanced at the two people in front of him from above.
He received an aristocratic family education from a young age...one of which was Pokémon Ring training.
In this field, Kojiro is full of confidence!
"Hmph, I will defeat you openly this time!!"
After saying that, Kojiro turned his head arrogantly and ignored Xiaozhi and the others.
Over the shoulder, a large colorful moth was flying lightly, and it didn't look very pleasing to the eye.
This is a Pokémon called Toxoplasma, which is roughly equivalent to the Giant Sting wasp in the Fang Yuan region.
Xiaozhi & Xiaolan: "?"
Why is this person so angry today?
They just hadn't seen the Rockets trio for a long time and came up to say hello.
To round it off, it can be regarded as a person from another place, a fellow countryman meeting a fellow countryman...
"By the way, where did Musashi and Meowth go?"
Xiaozhi looked around curiously.
I always feel that these three people did not snipe their Pikachu with high intensity, but... instead it seemed that his Pikachu started to lose value?
"Pickup, pickup..."
Pikachu nodded in agreement.
...
As for this moment, the other two members of the Rockets trio...
"Come on, come on~ This is the care center for flying Pokémon~!"
Among the specialty shops around the stadium, at the entrance of one of the rather simple stores, a red-haired woman was shouting hard.
There is also a "long-winged gull" lying on the small high platform in front of me.
Just add a pair of white wings to the meow and put on a beak mask to disguise it.
Since the ring competition has not started yet, the flow of people in the shopping street is not low.
"Trainers can go and watch the next Pokémon Ring with confidence~ As for the flying Pokémon, you can temporarily store them with us and enjoy the best massage service for free~!"
Musashi said cheerfully, while Meowth flapped its wings in cooperation.
When everyone heard that it was free, they immediately became interested.
The Ring Tournament lasts for one day, which is just a good time for the Pokémon to relax.
“Don’t feel any burden at all, we are an official store here and it’s guaranteed~”
Musashi is still fanning the flames.
It is indeed official, the official camouflage store of Team Rocket!
"Oh~ Even if you don't have a flying Pokémon, you can keep it and raise it for free~"
Seeing that only flying Pokémon were delivered, Musashi said she wanted them all.
Humph, I took advantage of the ring competition to collect the trainer's Pokémon outside...
When the game is halfway through, just sell it on the bus!
The days after they arrived in the Fangyuan area were still too comfortable, and even Boss Sakaki didn't send any follow-up instructions.
They must be disappointed!
So this time, we will capture a lot of Pokémon, package them all and mail them back to Team Rocket headquarters!
Kojiro is fighting for his dream, while Musashi Meowth is working hard on team building!
"Oh~ I leave my proud swallow to you!"
"So does my Magikarp!"
Everyone around them handed over their Pokémon and Poké Balls.
Musashi, Mew, and Xiao He were naturally grinning from ear to ear. Guoran Weng behind them was helping to receive the elf ball...
...
As for the main arena, after a while, the ring competition has officially begun.
The order of the competition is decided on a completely temporary basis, and there is no first-come, first-served basis.
Didi didi...!!
On the big screen in the center of the arena, four heads began to rotate rapidly.
There are not many participants in the ring competition, so at the beginning, there are four people in a group, four advance to one... and then there is a 1v1 singles elimination match.
clatter!
Soon, the screen was fixed, and the portraits of the four contestants appeared.
"Oh, am I the first one?!"
Xiaozhi's eyes lit up and he noticed his avatar appeared in the upper right corner of the screen.
Xiaozhi and Xiaolan waved their hands, and under the guidance of the staff, Xiaozhi and three other people boarded a hot air balloon respectively.
Pokémon engage in high-altitude battles, while trainers stand on their own hot air balloons and direct the battle from high altitude.
Phew...!
It wasn't until Xiaozhi and the three opponents were completely lifted into the air that a smaller hot air balloon began to rise slowly in the center of the arena. Finally, it rose to a height of twenty meters higher than the others, and then it stopped driving.
Hovering high in the sky.
There is also a small ring hanging underneath the hot air balloon.
"Is that the goal of this competition?!"
Xiaozhi's eyes lit up, and he and the three people around him threw the elf ball at the same time!
"Hiss~!!"
The proud swallow's small body appeared in the red light, flapping its wings flexibly, and was the first to rush towards the high ring target!
