The next day, EMI City ushered in the most important day of the year.
Although the Internet jokingly calls the EMI Crown Contest as the EMI Rookie Peck Contest.
But in fact, the annual EMI Crown Competition has become a special event in EMI City, attracting special attention.
In the early morning, banners were hung on the streets, and taxis were everywhere taking people to EMI City and EMI Gym.
There is even a figure of a trainer flying away on an elf in the sky.
In the train, the office workers in suits and ties were dozing off in a daze, and the information about the final match of the EMI Crown Competition was forced into their ears.
In EMI City, the EMI Crown Competition is often the starting point for trainers to become professional.
Generally, if someone in the family aspires to be a trainer, what parents often say is "Then you go to the EMI Crown Competition and see what results you can get, and we'll talk about it after you finish."
Initially, the EMI Crown Tournament was indeed just a strategy for EMI Gym Leaders to save themselves trouble.
But year after year, year after year, today, the EMI Crown Competition is not only a way to obtain a badge, but also a symbol of the entire EMI City!
Although it is only one day, on this day, whether it is the students who are still studying in the trainer's school or the salarymen who have entered the society, more or less, they will pay attention to the EMI Crown Competition and remember Touya and Shigure.
name, and...
Their participating elves...
Ghoststone and…
Ibrahimovic!
…
In the center of EMI, at the corner of the pedestrian street, and on the huge high-definition screen at the top of the EMI shopping mall, there are no advertisements for selling large milk cans of milk powder, or images of actresses, but a huge battle slogan.
Above is a line of colorful artistic characters: EMI Crown Competition Finals!
Below are two names: Shigure, Ghost vs. Touya, and Eevee!
At the bottom are the profiles of two people, two elves.
"Mom, it's Ibrahimovic!"
A cute little loli who was passing by happily pointed at the big screen.
She thought for a moment, glanced at the little Eevee who was curled up into a ball in her arms, and wanted to give it a look. She was silent for a moment, raised her head, and said with a milky voice, "Mom, I want to buy that handsome little Eevee."
Ibrahimovic wins."
"Okay, okay."
"Boom?"
What about me? Little Ibrahimovic curled his lips, looked at his belly as big as his head, and immediately cast an envious look at Master Ibrahimovic on the big screen.
However, it also feels that it has more face, and its heart is very complicated.
…
On the other side, Touya and Ibrahimovic were already standing in the player lounge of EMI Gym.
Looking at the mirror, Touya silently cheered himself up.
"It's good to have come this far."
"The next step is to follow the plan."
"If you can win, win, if you can't win, then give up."
Initially, the reason why Touya didn't choose to be a trainer right after he came was not just because he had no money.
The most critical reason is...
No self-confidence, no confidence to become a trainer and survive.
As an ordinary person, Touya did not initially rely on trainers to support his self-confidence.
The Sinnoh region claims to have tens of millions of trainers, but there are not many people who can truly take trainers as a profession and be able to support themselves.
And there are even fewer trainers who can achieve success and reach the level of EMI City Gym Leader.
The total number of first-tier cities and super-first-tier cities in the Sinnoh region is only sixteen.
EMI City is one of them.
In other words, looking at the entire Sinnoh region, there are only sixteen Gym Leaders at the same level as the main dish of the EMI City Gym.
Even if second-tier and third-tier cities are included, the number is less than 100.
This is the maximum number of Gym Leaders in the Sinnoh region.
As for other small cities or town-level cities, there are no gymnasiums at all.
Calculated, there are at most a few hundred trainers in a region who can be considered successful. Compared to the total number of trainers in Sinnoh, they are simply negligible.
Among them, how many people can support themselves?
If you rely solely on fame, you can get up quickly and go down quickly.
"Where does the confidence as a trainer come from?"
"If you defeat others, you will have confidence."
Touya is very confident now.
Because we have made arrangements in advance and studied our opponents in advance.
He stood out from more than 2,000 people, and his confidence came from these people.
He has been victorious so far, so he has his own self-confidence.
If he beat Shigure again, he would be more confident.
For Touya, confidence is similar to happiness, both of which must be obtained from other people's bodies.
…
The time for the final match was set at nine o'clock in the morning. At 8:50, a male gym apprentice led Touya through the corridor to the side of the EMI Gym field.
Following the footsteps, Touya could see the light at the end of the corridor, and could hear the voices getting louder and louder.
"Boom."
On Touya's shoulder, Eevee jumped down and ran directly to the exit.
At this moment, the surrounding area was full of people, the crowd was buzzing, and there were vendors with carts walking among the crowd.
Above the venue is a grass field. In order to take care of the audience at the rear, there are video broadcast screens around it to capture the shots at all times.
Above the sky, after several days of bright sunshine, the weather turned cloudy and gray.
"Contestant Touya, right in front, come on."
"Thanks."
Touya walked quickly into the venue, and what caught his eye was none other than Shigure, who was also walking out from the opposite side of the venue.
The other party was still dressed casually at this time, wearing a blue T-shirt and jeans.
"..."
Shigure waved his small fist and showed a meaningful smile.
Above her head, the ghost stone appeared out of thin air as if it had sprung out of another space, and smiled, looking extremely evil.
The short-haired young lady is paired with the evil ghost Stone. This scene can be used as a screenshot on a mobile phone.
"..."
Touya smiled heartily, narrowed his eyes, and began to look forward to it.
At this time, the audience made various shouts, and a middle-aged referee walked into the venue with a serious face and announced loudly:
"EMI City, the final decisive match of the EMI Crown Competition is about to begin——"
"——Both sides of the battle, please come to the front of the contestant seats!"
Waiting for Touya and Shigure to do as they were told and standing still, the middle-aged referee said again:
"Please release the competing elves from both sides of the battle!"
"Ibrahimovic, it's 10 million. Once you finish this job, you won't have to worry about anything in the next year!"
Touya's words are very true.
"Boom."
Ibrahimovic nodded, took a bite of Touya's trouser leg to release the pressure, and ran into the field, silently accumulating energy.
Ghost Stone chuckled, with an indifferent expression, disappeared quietly, and then appeared strangely in the venue.
Seeing this scene, the middle-aged referee's expression remained unchanged and he raised his hands high, "I declare -"
"——The final match of the EMI Crown Competition, player Touya versus player Shigure, the game has officially begun!!"
The referee's voice just fell...
The time in the corner of the screen is exactly nine o'clock!
The last and most crucial battle of the EMI Crown Competition...
