Wearing dark blue long-sleeved trousers and a pair of brown hiking boots.
His brown spiky hair stood up, and he looked handsome yet frivolous.
The most outrageous thing is that this person has a wide black cloak wrapped around him, almost covering his entire body.
Xiaozhi looked around, this guy should be the only one wearing a cloak.
It was his good friend Xiaomao.
Next to Xiaomao, there was a beast-type Pokémon that was completely black, with blood-colored pupils, and a faint yellow halo pattern on the surface of its body.
Moon Eevee.
This is one of the two new evolutions of Eevee found in the Johto region.
"Did that Eevee evolve at that time..."
Xiaozhi raised his eyebrows. He knew that Xiaomao had an Eevee, which was evenly matched with his Pikachu in the backyard of the Oak Research Institute. In the end, there was no winner.
Presumably now that he has evolved, his power will be even stronger...
At this time, Xiao Mao seemed to have noticed Xiao Zhi's gaze and suddenly turned his head.
Looking at each other from a distance across a dozen trainers.
Finally, Xiao Mao suddenly raised his palm, hooked his eyelids with his fingers, and made a face at the latter.
He flicked his black cloak for the last time, ignored Xiaozhi, and acted extremely arrogantly.
The cloak attracts hatred +100 and wisdom +1.
"Damn it, this guy is still dancing like this!"
Xiaozhi clenched his fists and was successfully provoked by Xiaomao.
Dr. Oak had previously said that there was something wrong with his grandson. Xiaozhi just felt that he was even more arrogant than before...
48 trainers, receiving the attention and discussion of countless spectators.
On the high platform, several champions and kings were also whispering about something.
"I'm more optimistic about the trainer named Ye Yue. Is the main force the Flame Chicken? He looks very strong..."
Kazuki, the superpower king, spoke.
He has been to the Fangyuan area before and witnessed the power of the flame chicken.
He has super explosive power and jumping ability, and his body is extremely flexible.
"Really? I'm more optimistic about the boy named Xiaomao~"
The pear blossom next to her smoothed her long blue hair and spoke slowly, with a sense of intellectual elegance in her voice.
She is related to another Heavenly King Juzi, and she had heard the latter talk about Dr. Oki and Xiaomao before.
"I'm more optimistic about Xiaozhi from Zhenxin Town..."
At this time, Master Xiba narrowed his eyes and spoke in a low voice.
These words made Ah Ju and Du beside them raise their heads at the same time.
The former had fought against Xiaozhi in the Light Red Gym, and was even defeated by the ghost-possessed Chi.
But from Aju's perspective, he was defeated by the schizophrenic Xiaozhi.
Du also had contact with Xiaozhi, and he was an extraordinary young man.
Not long ago, he had a phone call with his cousin Xiaochun, and found out that Xiaozhi also carried a mutated Lugia with ghost and dragon attributes.
That's incredible...!
Seeing the three Heavenly King champions all showing admiration for the boy named Xiaozhi, Kazuki and Rika, both natives of the Johto area, had strange expressions.
Then he looked down at the arena below, where he was wearing a peaked cap and looking ordinary, with a young man watching an electric mouse lying next to him.
"Then let's see what this guy is capable of..."
The two of them immediately became interested in Xiaozhi.
...
...
As the opening ceremony of the Silver Conference ended, time came to the afternoon.
The second stage of the group round-robin competition has officially begun!
Although the battle arena is still the largest main arena in Silver Town.
However, they are separated on the two edges of the arena, with a distance of nearly 100 meters, so no one can disturb anyone.
The arena is a standard hard rock arena, unremarkable.
The Johto League is not as wealthy as the Kanto League. In the first round, there are water arenas, rock arenas, and all kinds of fancy arenas.
As for the middlemost arena of the main arena, it is also where Xiaozhi and the others stood before. It is the venue for the third stage.
There is the Johto League, the only special stadium where the competition environment can be changed. It can only be used when reaching the top 16.
As the rounds of competition get underway...
"Xiao Zhi from Zhenxin Town versus Xiao Meng from Kaji Town! Invite two players to appear!"
Finally it's Xiaozhi's turn to compete.
As the referee's voice fell, Xiaozhi and the girl with red hair tied in twin ponytails slowly walked to the two ends of the arena, facing each other.
On the huge display screen behind the two people, their avatars and the three elf balls below appeared.
In the ellipsoid-shaped viewing seats, this half of the audience can clearly see the battle between the two men.
"The rules of the group round robin are 3v3. When all three Pokémon on one side lose their combat ability, the winner will be determined. If all three Pokémon on both sides lose their combat ability at the same time, a draw will take effect."
The referee spoke.
In some places, ties do not count.
However, if there is a tie in the Silver Conference, each team will add one point. If the three players in the final group have the same score, overtime will continue until a winner is determined.
"During this period, trainers only have three opportunities to actively change Pokémon."
The referee raised his hands, and the cheers around him suddenly became louder.
"If both parties are ready, please release your first Pokémon!"
...
"My opponent is you, Xiaozhi from Zhenxin Town...?"
Xiaomeng opposite raised his head, looking quite proud.
It doesn't look like a big deal, and it's not very handsome either.
"Then let's fight with all our strength."
Xiaozhi raised the elf ball without saying anything, and his expression was rare and serious.
The two threw their elf balls at the same time, and their first game officially began!
boom!
boom!
A red light flashed, and what was in front of Xiaomeng was a fiery red snail-shaped Pokémon. Its body was like crimson lava, and the molten liquid was even dripping down.
The dark brown swirling shell carried on the back is more like lava formed after the magma cools, with a few wisps of rekindled flames appearing from time to time.
Lava snail!
Xiaomeng is a trainer who specializes in fire-type Pokémon. He sent out fire-type Pokémon as soon as he came on stage.
On Xiaozhi's side, there was an aqua-blue upright crocodile with a huge mandible full of sharp teeth.
Blue crocodile.
By consulting the data on the computer in advance, Xiaozhi naturally adopted a battle with attribute restraint.
Now Blue Crocodile is the only Pokémon among his three Johto region royals that has not yet evolved.
"Hmph, a water-type Pokémon...!"
Xiaomeng obviously disdains Xiaozhi's cunning behavior of precise strikes.
But the temperature of the lava snail is extremely terrifying. Ordinary water-based moves cannot have any effect on it!
"Then the battle begins!"
As the referee's voice fell, the two of them stared at each other at the same time.
"Blue Crocodile, use water jet!!"
Xiaozhi took the lead in attacking.
Before the lava snail could make any move, Blue stamped his feet on the spot, his footsteps spread out, and his whole body was covered with blue water, turning into a bunch of straight water arrows.
Boom boom!
The jet of water directly flies the lava snail several meters away.
Blue crocodile also masters this preemptive trick.
