Chapter 349 Magician? Isn't it enough to have hands?
"Does this mean that I may be eliminated at any time from the first round...?"
It was a life and death situation, which Xiaozhi did not expect. He lowered his head and stared at his palms, his body even trembling slightly with excitement. Finally, he took a deep breath and clenched his palms into fists.
"Then we will keep winning!"
"Pickup!"
Xiaozhi and Pikachu fist bumped, this kind of competition system that could be eliminated at any time has already made their blood boil!
So when does the game start?
He has been waiting at the Pokémon Center for half an hour.
"Beep."
Suddenly, a voice came from the TV in the lobby, which seemed to be a quick report interview of a game that had just ended. The voice attracted the attention of Xiaozhi, and he couldn't help but leaned over curiously.
"Congratulations to Xiaomao from Zhenxin Town for winning the first battle, and it was an astonishing one-versus-three record. It's hard to imagine that this is a trainer who just traveled this year..."
In the picture, a reporter was interviewing a boy with brown hair and a hedgehog head.
Xiaomao has finished his first qualifying match today.
I saw him on the TV grabbing the microphone unceremoniously, with his other hand on his hip, and his expression was very arrogant.
"Haha, isn't this enough for me, Xiaomao from Zhenxin Town? Isn't there really a trainer from Zhenxin Town who can't wear three at the beginning? Hehe."
Xiaozhi: "!"
He frowned, always feeling that Xiao Mao on the TV was hinting at him.
"One wears three...it's really yours..."
Xiaozhi's frown deepened.
Damn it, that guy Xiao Mao has finished the first game, and I'm still doing warm-up exercises!
This is another inexplicable part of the Quartz Conference competition system. The battle venue and opponents are all decided 20 minutes before the start of the game, and everyone's time is a random number.
The first game may be held at 8 a.m., or the first game may be held at 5 p.m., so that every contestant can enjoy the ultimate torture...
...
Finally, after he waited for another thirty minutes, a notification tone came from the front desk.
"Ding dong~ Invite Xiaozhi player to come to stage xx to draw the competition venue and opponents~"
Xiaozhi was overjoyed and jumped out like a rocket. Xiaogang and Xiaoxia also followed curiously.
When we came to the front desk, Miss Joy had already prepared the button device.
"clatter."
Without thinking, Xiaozhi raised his hand and clicked on it. A turntable-like device above began to rotate. As Xiaozhi clicked again, the screen slowly stopped, and the pointer finally landed on a blue field.
On the logo pattern.
"The venue for your first match is the water venue~ It's on the 1st court~"
Miss Joy reminded with a smile.
The four sub-fields of the Quartz League are actually four fields with different styles, but there are only four types, namely water, rock, grass and ice.
League venues in other regions may have as many as 18 types of venues, which are all very fancy, but the Quartz League only has these four types, and the traditions of our ancestors cannot be lost.
The main stadium in the center is a standard competition venue.
"As for your first opponent...it's a trainer named Guangwu~"
Xiaozhi looked up and saw that next to the water field pattern, there was a portrait of a man with long cyan hair, a soft face, and even a bit of a coquettish look.
"Is this my opponent in the first round? He looks like a trash fish...?"
A voice sounded from behind, and it was not Xiaozhi speaking.
Xiaozhi subconsciously turned his head and looked behind him, only to see a person slowly walking in at the entrance of the Pokémon Center. His appearance was exactly the same as the one on the screen.
"Are you Guangwu?!"
"How dare you call me by my name? Xiaozhi from Zhenxin Town? Zhenxin Town, which country is this? No wonder you are so rude~"
Guangwu slowly walked up to Xiaozhi, waved his two slender palms in front of Xiaozhi's face, and with a "bang" sound, two elf balls appeared out of thin air, which was very fancy.
"I am the magician Guangwu, the one who will send you out in the first game, haha."
He held the Poké Ball on his fingertips and kept spinning it with skillful and graceful movements. This operation of transforming the Poké Ball with his bare hands attracted applause from many passers-by around him. He was obviously a well-known person.
"snort!"
Xiaozhi also snorted coldly when he saw this, secretly thinking about how to fight back.
This is the trash talk session before the game. Momentum is the most important thing. How can you be suppressed like this before the game even starts?
Thinking of this, Xiaozhi suddenly took a step forward, and a hand flashed out in front of Guangwu. The air and his palm made bursts of oozing sounds due to the friction between the high-speed movement.
Guangwu: "!"
He just felt a strong wind flashing in front of him, and a drop of sweat fell on his forehead. Unexpectedly, this countryman dared to take action directly?
But by the time he reacted, Xiaozhi had already retracted his arm, and he was not hurt at all.
"So fast!!"
Guangwu was shocked when he saw that the two Poké Balls on his fingertips had reached the opponent's hands without knowing when.
"Click!!"
Then Xiaozhi raised his palm to Guangwu's eyes, exerted force on his palm, and crushed the two Poké Balls in his hand into pieces with his bare hands, and scattered them on the ground. The scene was extremely violent.
"Turtle..."
"Is that a prop poke ball...?"
"With this strength...can't you carry several bags of rice at a time?"
The passers-by around him also looked sideways, shocked by Xiaozhi's humanoid and strange posture.
You must know that the material of the Poke Ball is very strong. Only Pokémon with strong strength can crush a Poke Ball with bare hands.
And trivia: it is actually difficult for a normal human being to exert force when holding a spherical object, and it is even impossible to crush a fragile egg.
Xiaozhi backhandedly threw two new pokeballs to Guangwu as an apology prop.
"Changing the Poké Ball? Isn't it enough to have a hand?"
Hearing this, Guangwu's expression suddenly changed, and he could only glare at Xiaozhi bitterly, and then walked out of the hall with a deep expression.
"Humph, I can only use my words now. I won't be merciful later!"
"Me too!"
In the pre-game confrontation, Xiaozhi was slightly better in this one.
...
"Your game is in Arena No. 1 in 20 minutes. Remember not to be late. Being late for 10 minutes will be deemed as automatically admitting defeat."
Miss Joy reminded her kindly.
After Xiaozhi prepared all the Pokémon that would appear in the first game, he took Xiaogang and Xiaoxia and prepared to go out.
"Ding dong~"
At this time, another figure walked in, still an acquaintance of theirs.
"Look, it's the trainer of the Flame Bird!"
"I heard that he is a man of great luck. Is this year's championship already guaranteed?"
"No wonder the place is full of European atmosphere as soon as you come in."
As soon as she appeared on the stage, she attracted the attention of passers-by, who surrounded her and tried to drain her European energy.
"Ah, fellow, are you about to appear?!"
Xiaolan seemed a little at a loss when surrounded by the crowd. From the corner of her eye, she suddenly spotted Xiaozhi who was about to go out. She couldn't help but ran over, clutching the hem of the latter's clothes tightly with her palms, gasping for air, and her expression was a little panicked.
"Huhu..."
Her mental outlook is not good at the moment. It is her first time to participate in a competition of this scale. She does not have the big heart of Xiaozhi and Xiaomao. She suffered from insomnia on the spot last night. Now she has heavy dark circles under her eyes and looks a little depressed.
"Well, I've already decided on my opponent, so you have to work hard and try to get us from Zhenxin Town to the main arena together!"
Xiaozhi patted Xiaolan's head and cheered her on.
"Um!"
Hearing Xiaozhi's passionate voice, Xiaolan finally slowly gained courage, raised her fleshy fists with both hands, and her face puffed up.
"Ding dong~ Please invite Xiaolan from Zhenxin Town to the front desk at No. x to draw the venue and players~"
"come on!"
"Yeah! Come on!"
The two looked at each other one last time, then both showed confident smiles, and walked in opposite directions at the same time.
