This is a flat town, unlike the wealthy Quartz Convention, which can build a huge competition venue out of thin air.
The Johto League combines the town with the venue. During games, it serves as the venue, and during non-game times, it acts as a normal tourist town, thus minimizing venue costs.
Xiaozhi, the three of them and Ye Yue passed through a huge ribbon welcome banner and officially entered Silver Town.
"twitter..."
"twitter..."
At this moment, people are already coming and going in the town, whether they are trainers participating in the competition or people visiting, whispering to each other, it is very lively.
Along both sides of the town's main street, there are countless entertainment, food and specialty shops, which make people stop here again and again.
"The qualifiers for the Silver Conference will officially begin in two days."
Beside him, Ye Yue looked around and sighed.
He didn't win the championship in the Fangyuan League. This time, he will definitely win his first championship in the Silver Conference!
After winning the championship, Ye Yue will return to his hometown again and challenge the King Furong.
"Qualifier? 2 days later?"
Xiaozhi was stunned. He had been training hard with his Pokémon for the past ten days, and now he didn't even know the format of the competition.
He quickly took out the illustrated book.
"Didi. This Silver Conference will be divided into three stages."
When it comes to explaining hard knowledge, illustrated books are always trustworthy.
"In the first stage, the qualifying stage, each contestant will have three 1v1 battles. Based on the results of the three games and the feedback data from the gym trainers on the trip, they will jointly decide whether to stay or advance." "This is
In the first stage, the number of players who advance to the next round will be limited to 48."
This is completely different from the competition format of the Quartz Conference.
If you win three 1v1 battles, you will naturally advance.
But if it is only one or two wins, the decision will be made based on the feedback data reported by the gym trainers when they previously challenged the gym.
As for losing all three games...
That's a round trip. Let's treat it as a trip.
The scenery of Baiyin Mountain is also second to none in the Chengdu area.
Not a loss.
This kind of competition system will undoubtedly allow trainers to enter the next round more fairly and justly.
You must know that the Quartz Conference is a one-stop elimination system.
If in the first game, the runner-up strong player meets the champion, he will be directly ranked 256th.
"Not bad..."
Xiaozhi nodded and continued to listen to the explanation in the illustrated book.
"In the second stage, this is also the day of the official opening ceremony of the Silver Conference. Next, there will be a three-person group round-robin knockout, with three people leaving one person, and 16 people will be selected from the remaining 48 players."
In other words, after completing this group round robin, we will be the top 16 of the Silver Conference.
There will be no opening ceremony for the upcoming qualifiers, it will be a battle.
"The third stage is the normal knockout rounds starting from the top 16, all the way to the finals."
From here on, the competition format will be the same as that of the Quartz Conference.
There is still a bit of luck involved.
As for whether there will be a Champions League Challenge in the end, it depends on whether the winner of the tournament wants to continue the challenge, so the illustrated book does not include it.
...
"So the qualifiers are about to start, three 1v1 battles...Pikachu, I can't wait!"
Xiaozhi put away the illustrated book, clenched his fists, and his face was filled with high morale.
"Pickup!"
The same goes for Pikachu on his shoulder, with a faint arc of electricity bursting out from his cheek.
"Well, Xiaozhi, I'll take my leave first. I hope we won't run into each other in the first place."
At this time, Ye Yue next to him suddenly spoke and planned to leave.
Next, the two of them will be rivals, and they still need to avoid suspicion.
"I know, Mr. Ye Yue, but if we bump into each other from the beginning, I will go all out!"
Xiaozhi extended his palm to the latter.
“What I wish for!”
Ye Yue nodded, shook hands with Xiao Zhi equally enthusiastically, and finally turned and left.
...
...
Silver Town, a Pokémon Center in the west.
"Dang Dang~ Dang Dang block~!"
A melodious voice floated over, and Miss Joy and the lucky egg pushing the Xiaozhi Poke Cart slowly walked to the front desk.
"Contestant Xiaozhi, your identity is confirmed and you have been officially confirmed to participate in this Silver Tournament~"
Miss Joy smiled and handed the latter's illustrated book back.
"It is estimated that 250+ players will participate in this conference, so please work hard and reach the finish line~"
Miss Joy encouraged with a professional fake smile.
"250 people..."
Xiaozhi took back the illustrated book and raised his eyebrows.
In other words, in the first round of qualifying, nearly 4/5 people will be wiped out, which is really cruel...
However, his goal is to win this time, and Xiaozhi is not afraid at all in the first round.
After the experience of the last Quartz Conference, Xiaozhi was not even a little bit nervous, but just full of enthusiasm.
At this time, Miss Joy reminded me again.
"In the next two days, players are asked to upload the types of Pokémon they may compete in to the computer data~"
She pointed to the computer next to her.
There are also private computers available for use in the player lounges.
"Do you want to upload it again...?"
Xiaozhi scratched his head, this was different from the Quartz Conference.
"Yes, it must be confirmed in advance. Then you can explore other players' Pokémon. Of course, your own Pokémon information will also be explored by other players."
These days are not just for trainers to rest.
You can also check the type of Pokémon your opponent has to formulate strategies.
Of course, if you only upload less than 6 Pokémon, it is naturally possible, but when it officially starts, you can only send out these few.
Every year, there are always a few geniuses who try to massacre the entire alliance conference with a single Pokémon.
Xiaozhi's eyes suddenly brightened when he heard that he could see what Pokémon other people had.
After saying that, he pulled Xiaogang and Xiaoxia and ran towards his room.
...
Since he still has two partners, this Pokémon Center allocated a room with three bedrooms and one living room to Xiaozhi as a place to stay during this period of the competition, all free of charge.
As soon as he put down his bag, Xiaozhi couldn't wait to sit in front of the computer in the living room, eager to upload all his Pokémon information.
"Beep. Can't find the option for [Pink Bada Butterfly] [Crystal Rock Snake], please choose again."
The computer made an electronic sound like an illustrated book, but the sound was more friendly.
"Xiao Zhi, just enter Baddie and Big Rock Snake!"
Xiaoxia next to me reminded.
The two of them also moved stools to the side, curious about what Pokémon the other contestants had.
So Xiaozhi changed his name, but then the computer issued an error message again.
"Tip. Your [Lugia] is a special Pokémon and is prohibited from participating in this alliance tournament. Please include it."
Ash scratched his head, and sure enough, his Dark Lugia was banned.
The volcano god Groudon suddenly appeared in the conference, which was so bullying.
If you can't, then you won't be able to play for the time being.
After uploading all the Pokémon data, Xiaozhi adjusted the interface to everyone's screen, and couldn't wait to browse other people's Pokémon...
