It was still the familiar opening ceremony of the Alliance Conference.
Accompanied by bursts of solemn salutes in the sky, the selected trainer representatives held torches and slowly ran into the main arena of the conference.
Next to him, followed a strong and fierce mongoose.
Then, under the attention of countless people, he climbed to the highest point of the Caiyou Alliance Conference Arena and moved the torch to the brazier standing at the highest point.
Boomchi...!
The flames unique to the Flame Bird suddenly burst into flames, and the brazier burned blazingly.
"Beep!!"
Even as if special effects were added to it, a flame bird made entirely of flames condensed into shape, raised its head and spread its wings, and let out a loud chirping sound.
There is indeed a projection mechanism in the brazier... This is a secret that Xiaozhi only learned later.
Everything is to inspire participating trainers.
At this moment, Xiaozhi was standing in the center of the square with hundreds of trainers participating in the conference, watching the flaming bird's flames light up.
This year's Caiyou Tournament, due to the Groudon Kyogre incident in the last month, the number of participants was much smaller than in previous years.
There are only about a hundred people.
It was still the familiar Chairman of the Alliance Conference, Damaranch, who took the stage to deliver a speech.
"Bala bala..."
But when it entered Xiaozhi's ears, there was only a sound of unknown meaning.
At this moment, his interest was more focused on the same contestants around him.
Every contestant will have his or her own signature elf beside him. This is an old tradition.
"Sure enough, they are all here..."
Xiaozhi swept away excitedly and found that next to Tetsuya was the handsome Meowth wearing boots. His appearance was much higher than that of Team Rocket's Meowth.
Beside Manchong stood a humanoid elf.
With a slender body, the lower body is made of long white legs, the upper body is dark green, and the arms are like a lizard king with sharp organs similar to "blade leaves" extending out, giving him the capable temperament of a warrior.
"This is the first time I've seen him... He looks very strong."
Xiaozhi was curious and looked around again.
For example, Xiaoyao is carrying a handsome flame chicken, and his whole body is radiating rich heat.
Another example is Yushu, who brought a...
Heading straight for the bear?
The mouse-shaped Pokémon with long brown and white soft fur surprised Ash a little.
Based on this guy's character, he should be some domineering and powerful being.
...
But at this moment, many people are paying attention to Xiaozhi.
There is no other, because here is Xiaozhi alone, with two Pokémon at the same time.
On one shoulder is a yellow-white Pikachu that seems to have faded, and its body is quite blurry.
On the other shoulder, there is a cute white elf sitting, with a star-like yellow head, and a cape-like ribbon hanging from its back.
"Where's the Pokémon I've never seen before..."
"She doesn't look strong..."
Most trainers were unaware of Mingli, but Damaranch on the stage also saw Xiaozhi for the first time.
This is the scene of an extremely powerful trainer defeating an Alliance King head-on at the Silver Conference. He still vividly remembers it now...
If he comes to attend this alliance meeting again, it will be no different from frying fish.
"Forehead..."
Just the presence on Xiaozhi's shoulder made Damaranch rub his eyes vigorously.
If he saw it correctly, it should be the legendary Jirachi, right?!
Others don't understand, but he, a man with extensive experience, understands the legendary Pokémon that can grant wishes.
A mythical thing that was completely recorded in books appeared in Xiaozhi's body at this moment?
But when I think about the Silver Conference, Xiaozhi also used a dark black ancient god Lugia...
"If not, would it make people weird?"
Damaranch could only shake his head and laugh dumbly on the high platform.
In the next battle, we will probably see the legendary Jirachi battle!
Sure enough, it is meaningful for people to live so old...!
"Then, I announce that the Caiyou Alliance Conference will now officially begin!!"
Damaranch took the microphone and finally gave the opening words, which also made the Alliance Conference venue filled with countless spectators burst into deafening cheers and cheers.
The alliance meeting has officially begun!
...
...
Less than half a day after the opening ceremony, Xiaozhi ushered in his first battle.
Although he was the last player to sign up, the order was completely random.
This is an ordinary arena.
In front of Xiaozhi, stood a young man wearing a karate uniform, with an aura belt tied around his head.
"Then in this qualifying match, Xiaozhi from Zhenxin Town will face off against Yuanqi from Wudou Town!! Each player can use only one elf!"
The referee prompted.
The competition format of the Caiyou Conference is simpler and rougher than the previous conferences that Xiaozhi participated in.
More than a hundred players first participated in a 1v1 knockout match, and one team was eliminated to determine the winner.
Therefore, even if the second most powerful player encounters the most powerful player in the first preliminaries, he will be eliminated on the spot and will not even be ranked as a consolation prize.
"Then it's up to you, show him our power!!"
The karate boy flipped his palm and sent out his spirit.
This is a humanoid elf with thick tissue that looks like red clothing on its head and legs.
Like an Indian dancer, she has a slender body and her arms are doing strange yoga poses.
"Charem...it's up to you!!"
Xiaozhi also sent his elf at the same time.
A complete 1v1, even he might capsize in the gutter.
boom!
A red light flashed, and a strong flame chicken appeared in front of Xiaozhi.
Boomchi...!
As the flame chicken's fighting spirit increased, its wrists suddenly burned with spiked flames, showing its surging fighting spirit.
"Oh~ Has Ash's Pokémon also evolved into a Flame Chicken~!"
Somewhere on the viewing stand, Xiaoyao was holding on to the railing, showing a rather interested expression.
She did know that Xiaozhi had a strong chicken before, and it seemed that he could fight well in this competition!
...
The battle begins!
"Flaming Chicken, use flame kick!!"
At the beginning of the battle, the Flame Chicken jumped up into the sky, its soles burned with blazing flames, and kicked out in reverse.
"Ash from Zhenxin Town, you are also a fighting Pokémon. I will not lose to you!"
Yuan Qi seemed to know Xiao Zhi and pointed out the latter's name.
Born in a martial arts gym, he once witnessed the battle between Xiaozhi and the gym leader Teng Shu.
Unexpectedly, his first alliance meeting would be an encounter with Xiaozhi...
It is our duty to rebuild the glory of the martial arts gym!!
"Charem, use flying knee kick!!"
Without mercy, Yuanqi also launched a frontal attack.
"Chalay~!!"
Chalem jumped high, bent his knees, and after being covered with yellow impact energy, flew towards the target!
