On the screen, the schedule for the round of 16 and even the top 8 and finals were displayed like a neat pyramid.
There won’t be any changes to the next match arrangement, it will just go on all the way.
Xiaozhi also found his name in the first position in the lower left corner.
It seems that he is still the first player to appear in the top half?
Xiaozhi quickly looked at the players he was about to face in the top 16.
It was the player named "Lance" who happened to be ranked just above him in the hot search prediction ranking.
"It seems that I will have to research this person's information later..."
Then Xiaozhi raised his head and looked all the way to the right, wanting to know where Xiaomao was.
Different from me, Xiaomao's competition area is somewhere in the second half.
"That is to say, as long as I make it all the way to the finals...then I will definitely be able to decide the winner with Xiaomao at the finish line...?"
Seeing this, Xiaozhi's eyes suddenly became extremely hot.
To be able to have a real ending with that guy on the biggest stage and the most critical game...
Just thinking about it makes my blood boil.
Fortunately, it's not the top 16 or the top 8. It's not exciting enough at all!
"Don't be careless, Xiaozhi, you are in a death group in the first half. Ye Yue, Ah Jin, Ah Jin, and the guy named Lance are all in a group with you..."
Xiaogang reminded quite seriously.
In other words, if Xiaozhi wants to enter the finals, he must defeat these people head-on.
"I know."
Xiaozhi clenched his fists and looked at Pikachu on his shoulder, fighting high.
"Pickup!"
The expressions of Pikachu and Ash are very similar.
Then he turned around and ran towards the room.
Next, Xiaozhi will take a good look at the information about this guy named Lance, formulate tactics, and then go to bed early and get up early.
Tomorrow's round of 16 match is the first one in the morning, so he needs to keep his spirits up.
...
On the other side, in another Pokémon Center in Silver Town.
A young man with short cyan hair and a black hat also saw his opponent in the round of 16 on the screen.
He held a mobile phone next to his ear, as if he was talking to someone.
A handsome face with an elegant and easy-going smile.
"Sir Apollo, my subordinate has successfully qualified for the top 16, and there will be no suspense for the next top 8 and top 4..."
Lance said calmly, obviously not taking his opponent seriously.
"That's right. With your strength, as long as you don't run into any top experts, you can reach the top four in the Silver Conference."
On the other end of the phone came the melodious voice of Apollo, the elite cadre of the Rockets.
Lance is Apollo's trusted subordinate in the Johto area.
He just became a trainer this year, but he has good qualifications and was unilaterally designated by Apollo as the future successor of Team Rocket.
Well, as long as he, Apollo, can overthrow Boss Sakaki one day, he will be in charge of the Rockets.
You can change the prefix "future" to the present.
in other words.
Apollo drew a big pie for Lance.
"Don't worry, Lord Apollo, I understand!"
Lance said, his tone was quite respectful.
Next, he only needs to reach the top 4 of the Silver Conference, and then publicly say that the Pokémon League is not good, and that he will switch to a place that is more suitable for high-quality trainers - Team Rocket.
This is an old Rockets marketing tactic.
Use the topic to completely heat up the Rockets!
Backhand and ruin the reputation of the alliance.
"My opponent is Xiaozhi from Zhenxin Town? Haha Zhenxin Town? What kind of rural place? I've never heard of it!"
Lance had fast forwarded to the ending and couldn't help laughing.
"!"
It was just that Apollo on the other end of the phone suddenly became suffocated after hearing these words.
Maybe you heard it wrong?
But the name may have been misheard, and the location must have been wrong. This guy pronounced it twice and it was really a new town.
Apollo, who was holding a goblet of red wine, had a sudden change in his expression.
In the end I could only bite the bullet and say:
"Lance, admit defeat, ruin the Silver Alliance plan, and temporarily cancel it this year."
Meeting this reclusive boss at the beginning, Apollo could only lament that Lance was really an unlucky guy.
"Lord Apollo?"
Lance was stunned for a long time, wondering why the plot had reached this stage.
But soon, his eyes narrowed.
"No matter what, I won't quit!"
Genius has pride.
Although behind his back, he is already the Rockets.
But in my heart, I still have a passionate dream of challenging the Alliance Conference.
When he really rebels and wants to participate in the alliance conference, the latter will probably not give him a pass.
Team Rocket was blacklisted.
"Oh, then you can continue to participate. But I'm not familiar with you, so don't say you know me."
So Apollo just said this.
After saying that, he hung up the phone.
He always felt that if he talked for a while longer, Lance's unlucky aura would flow along the phone line and infect him.
Lance: "?"
He touched his head and wanted to ask the latter whether the cake he had drawn for him before was still working.
Is he still the future successor to the Rockets?
Just listening to the long registration sound on the phone, Lance was a little confused.
Then he raised his head and looked at the screen.
"Are you really Xiaozhi from New Town? Who are you...?"
Without the gadgets he started with, Lance turned around, returned to his room, burned the midnight oil, and began to study Ash's Pokémon information...
...
...
The next day, early morning.
Early on, the entire main stadium was filled with spectators.
Everyone's eyes are focused on the middle arena.
The group stage is still divided into two ends, but starting from the top 16, there is only the most formal venue in the middle.
In one morning, two top 16 matches will be held.
Four games a day, lasting two days.
On the high platform of the stairs, the flame of the flame bird was still burning high in the brazier.
Accompanied by countless noisy and boiling calls around him, Xiaozhi was already standing at one end of the arena, with an electric mouse standing at his feet.
And opposite him is naturally Lance, the Rockets' promising future.
He is only a talent secretly cultivated by the Rockets, and his identity has not been exposed, so he can participate in league meetings so casually.
It's just that Lance studied the latter's information all night last night, and now there are thick dark circles under the corners of his eyes.
He is a rigorous person.
On the other hand, Xiaozhi was full of energy and full of energy.
After finishing reading the latter's information for half an hour, I turned around and went to bed, sleeping soundly.
If he wants to go all the way to the finals, this first game cannot stop him from moving forward!
On the electronic screen behind them, the portraits of the two people had appeared, with three Poke Ball patterns neatly arranged below.
"In the first game of the top 16 of the Silver Conference, Ash from Zhenxin Town versus Lance from Gold City, the game begins!"
As the referee's voice fell.
The two of them moved forward at the same time and threw their elf balls.
boom!
What appeared in front of Lance was a brown owl with raised light yellow eyebrows and a rather majestic look.
