Pokémon: Angler's Rainy Day Team

The fifty-second day of traveling to Kanto, sunny.

Bang, bang, bang, bang--

With the sound of the salute, Pidgeot was released, and the opening ceremony of the Quartz Conference finally began.

I don't know how many people couldn't sleep last night, anyway, the heartless Yu Hai was not one of them.

With the speech of the host, the atmosphere of the opening ceremony also reached a climax...

"Ladies and gentlemen, the opening ceremony of the Quartz Conference has officially begun. Excellent trainers and your Pokémon, please use your tricks and strength together to decide the champion of the competition at the Quartz Conference..."

"You get not only the reputation of a trainer, but also a test that you must pass before becoming a master trainer. Now please invite the excellent trainers to enter. Each of them is a master who has obtained more than eight badges..."

"Please look at the torchbearer who is running over. He will pass the column composed of hundreds of contestants. The torchbearer is heading towards the holy flame..."

At this point in the opening ceremony, the Rocket trio inevitably appeared again. I really don't know if these guys will really not go to jail for such nonsense! Or is it because there are too many lice on the body that are not afraid of itching?

Anyway, Yu Hai didn't understand, but he was shocked. The Rocket trio started to fight for the Holy Flame again, but was finally defeated by the Holy Flame. The Holy Flame returned to the Holy Flame platform, and the opening ceremony continued...

The host introduced President Damaranch to everyone. President Damaranch, who was sitting in the audience, came to the front of the stage and had an opening speech to give--

"The Quartz Conference is a place for trainers who truly love Pokémon to learn from each other and fight..."

"The Holy Flame, the flame of Moltres protects us. Dear trainers, please fight an upright battle without regrets!"

Huahuahua, huhuahua--

With the deafening cheers and applause in the venue, the opening ceremony of the Quartz Conference ended, and the competition was about to begin...

The trainers left the venue one after another. Those who had drawn lots would go to the sub-venues to compete. The trainers who had not drawn lots yet would go to the drawing venue to decide their venues and opponents.

Yu Hai also wanted to draw lots, but he walked from the audience. He did not enter the venue below, but sat in the audience to watch the opening ceremony.

"This opening ceremony is not bad, Ibrahimovic," Yu Hai patted Ibrahimovic on the shoulder gently. After watching the opening ceremony with Ibrahimovic, they were going to draw lots to decide the venue.

"Are you Ah Hai?" Xiao Gang suddenly noticed Yu Hai who stood up and sat in the seat below them.

"Yo? It's Xiao Gang!" Yu Hai heard someone calling him and turned around to greet Xiao Gang who stood up.

"Huh? Aren't you a contestant? You didn't go to the venue below?" Xiao Xia was surprised and wondered why Yu Hai, as a contestant, didn't enter the venue like Xiao Zhi and the others.

"It's just a formality. It doesn't matter whether you go or not. I prefer to watch them enter," Yu Hai didn't want to enter the venue now. Hundreds of people were crowded together, and it was in the center of the venue. It was so sunny, it was unnecessary.

The audience seats were much cooler, and they could buy cold drinks to quench their thirst. The Rockets trio would make extra money during the competition.

"Thank you for enlightening Xiaozhi last night, otherwise Xiaozhi would not know when he would go to bed," Xiaogang saw that it was really Yu Hai, and hurriedly thanked Yu Hai on behalf of Xiaozhi.

This morning, he asked Xiaozhi who said those words last night, and he didn't expect it to be an acquaintance.

I really don't know why the other person looks like an adult when he is about the same age as me. Is it his illusion?

"Haha, it's all a small matter. I'm going to draw lots. We'll meet again when we have time," Yu Hai waved his hand and left the audience. He didn't care about this matter. After all, he also watched Xiaozhi grow up since he was a child, so he just said a few more words.

"Xiaogang, what did he say last night?" Xiaoxia didn't understand what the two men were talking about, and she was very curious.

"This, it's..." Xiaogang didn't have time to explain, and saw Xiaozhi coming up from the venue and shouting in the audience.

"Gang, Misty, let's go, we're going to draw lots..."

"Let's go draw lots first, and talk while we walk," Gang looked at Misty and smiled helplessly. There was nothing he could say to Satoshi, who was impatient.

In fact, sometimes Yu Hai also wanted to complain. Gang couldn't walk when he saw a beautiful woman, but he didn't react when he saw Misty. Could it be that he was immune to it? Misty, a flat girl, couldn't arouse Gang's admiration. Gang might only like those mature and intellectual big sisters.

...

At the lottery venue, Yu Hai was listening to the female receptionist explaining the lottery rules of the Quartz Conference.

"Trainer, please show your Pokémon Encyclopedia and eight badges for registration..."

"Here," Yu Hai took out the badge and encyclopedia again, and the female receptionist returned them to him after registration.

"Trainer Yu Hai from the Orange Islands, your eight badges meet the requirements for participating in the competition and have been entered into the system. You can press this button to draw your competition venue, match number, and opponent. Two players in the same venue and match number will be opponents..."

"Understood," Yu Hai raised his hand and pressed the red button on the counter, and then pressed the red button again. After the cursor on the screen stopped, his first group match, the first match venue, and the first opponent would appear.

Beep, beep, beep--

As the cursor stopped, Yu Hai also saw the group match venue he was going to play in, which was the Grass Field, the fifth match, and the time was around 11 am.

The match time will be adjusted in real time on site according to the end time of the previous group match. Each venue will only hold 15 group matches per day, and the match will end after the match.

A group match can last half an hour at the fastest and an hour at the slowest. Trainers who are unlucky and ranked behind may have to play in the evening.

After confirming the venue and match, he looked at the headshot on the screen again. That was his opponent...

"Boo-boo-boo," Eevee suddenly became excited when he saw the opponent's headshot on the screen, and he was so angry that he gritted his teeth.

"Eevee, do you know this person?" Yu Hai gently stroked Eevee to calm Eevee's restless emotions.

But Eevee kept calling out to Yu Hai, and he was very excited, "Boo-boo-boo, boo-boo-boo..."

"This?" Yu Hai could only understand Boo-boo, but he didn't understand what Boo-boo meant. It was a pity that Darkrai was not there, otherwise he could ask Darkrai to translate what Eevee was calling.

Just when Yu Hai was at a loss, Meowth, who was walking on two legs, suddenly jumped onto the counter and shook his head and said, "I see, I see..."

"Meowth, what is Eevee saying?" Yu Hai saw this Rocket Meowth, as if he saw a savior, and hurriedly asked Meowth what Eevee was calling.

"Eevee said that this human was the trainer who abandoned it, and it wanted to play in the game and defeat this hateful human who abandoned it..."

"So it was him," Yu Hai remembered the rainy night in Stone Town, when the other party abandoned Eevee and left with a Vaporeon, but he didn't see his specific appearance clearly, and now he saw what he looked like.

This person had no features on his face, with black hair and black eyes like him, and looked ordinary. He had no impression of this stranger, who should be an unfamiliar passerby trainer, and not a character in the animation.

"Boo-boo-boo," Eevee rubbed Yu Hai, it must go on the field to defeat this unfaithful man to prove that it is the most powerful, it is the other party who is not good, not it.

"Ibrahimovic, I'll let you play, and we'll beat him together," Yu Hai smiled and rubbed the little Ibrahimovic's head. This little guy is still easy to coax!

"Boo-boo-boo," Ibrahimovic was so excited when he heard that he could play that he rubbed Yu Hai hard, almost rubbing static electricity.

Yu Hai, who was electrocuted, quickly pulled Ibrahimovic off his face and said to the Rockets Meowth: "Meowth, why don't you hang out with me? I still need a Pokémon translator..."

"Damn it, how can a person like you poach people? Don't think that just a bowl of instant noodles will make Meowth go with you..."

Just when Yu Hai invited Meowth, Musashi came over and took away the crying Meowth. Meowth seemed to have missed many instant noodles and was crying because she couldn't eat instant noodles.

"Sorry, Mr. Ahai, we should go," Kojiro was still polite, not as rude as Musashi, and came to apologize, and then quickly slipped away, because there was a dog chasing them, it was Junsha's dog.

Watching the three funny guys go away, Yu Hai sighed helplessly and went to the player lounge to wait for his game to start.

He just arrived at the player lounge and met Xiao Ming again. What a coincidence!

"Are you also in the Grass Court?" Yu Hai sat next to Xiao Ming and asked curiously about his match.

"Yes, I am in the third match," Xiao Ming looked at the big screen, which showed the matches of several other venues. The matches of the Grass Court can be seen directly from the balcony of the lounge.

"I am in the fifth match," Yu Hai looked at the match list on the screen. The two players who were playing the first match had their names displayed in red, the players in the second match were displayed in yellow, and the players after the third match were all in green.

It was still early for him to play, so he looked at his opponent, the boy who abandoned Eevee, and asked Xiao Ming, "Do you have any information about my opponent?"

"He? I have information. I collected it casually at the beginning. He is not a powerful trainer. Most of his Pokémon are at the elite level, and they are all Pokémon evolved with Evolution Stones. His most famous Pokémon are three Eevees, namely Vaporeon, Flareon, and Jolteon..."

"Wait, I want to look through the notebook," Xiao Ming took out the small notebook, turned out the boy's information, and continued, "He lives in Stone Town. I heard that there are a lot of Evolution Stones there. No wonder the Pokémon he cultivates are all Pokémon evolved with Evolution Stones..."

"Only elite level?" Yu Hai heard that he was only at the elite level, and he felt that this was safe, but Eevee was only in his twenties, and the opponent's main force was at least in his thirties, so Eevee couldn't beat him at all.

If it was just a battle, Eevee could barely win with all his strength. If he wanted Eevee to win three games in a row, he needed to play some dirty tricks to create favorable conditions for Eevee to win three games in a row.

After making up his mind, he knew how to make Eevee vent his anger in this group match. This match would help Eevee to untie his knot, and it would also help him and Eevee to develop intimacy and evolve into a moon elf as soon as possible.

As the matches passed, Yu Hai also came to the balcony to watch Xiao Ming's match. As a senior trainer, Xiao Ming easily defeated the elite trainer.

In the group match, it is basically impossible for senior trainers to meet evenly matched opponents, except for the chickens fighting each other.

He believed that the Quartz Conference was fair, but he didn't believe that there was no backdoor in the arrangement of the players.

Those who understand this kind of thing understand, and he doesn't need to say more. In order to make the game interesting and exciting, the organizers also have their own little ideas.

If the two senior players are eliminated in the group match, it will be a huge loss for the organizers, and the elimination match will lose many exciting games.

Therefore, it is in the interests of the organizers to allow elite players to meet each other in the group stage.

As Xiao Ming easily defeated his opponent and the cheers died down, the next step was the fourth group match, and then the fifth group match. Ukai was a participant in the fifth group match on the grass field.

He did not send Bada Die over. In the first group match, Ibrahimovic and Kentero were enough. He was confident of winning this group match.

After saying hello to Xiao Ming, he went to the competition venue. This was his first time participating in such a large-scale competition. He stood at the entrance of the players' tunnel and took several deep breaths before he took Ibrahimovic out of the players' tunnel.

Facing the scorching sun and the cheers from the audience, he went straight to the fighting stage and waited for the referee's arrangements.

Since it was the first day of the performance, the audience had no impression of the trainer, so the cheers from the audience were often just to join in the fun, and the sound was also very messy.

Later in the game, when the audience has a trainer they like, they will cheer for their favorite trainer. The group stage is a warm-up competition to familiarize the audience with the players...

"The fifth group match of Caozhidi has finally begun..."

"The contestant on the green side is Ukai from the Orange Islands, and the contestant on the red side against him is Kameda from Stone Town..."

"The elves used by Kameda players are all elves evolved from evolution stones. They are the characteristics of Kameda players..."

"The player Ukai on the green side is a trainer from the remote Southern Islands. What kind of exciting competition will these two players from different regions bring us! Please stay tuned..."

With just a few words from the host, the atmosphere was completely heated up. Even Yu Hai felt that this host was a specially arranged atmosphere group by the organizer.

He no longer had the heart to care about this. As the referee waved the red and green flags, the game was about to begin.

"Only three elves are used, and the fifth game on the grass field officially begins..."

Dangdang——

As two clanging sounds sounded, the two contestants Ukai and Kameda who heard the clanging sounds had to release their starting spirits as soon as possible and attack at the same time...

"Go, Water Eevee..."

"Go, Fritos..."

"Appeared - both contestants sent their starting elves, Kameda contestant sent Mizuibu..."

"Hey, did Kameda player make a mistake because he was too nervous? Ukai is a trainer from the Southern Islands. Even if he wants to test Ukai's starting elf, he should send out the electric elf Reib as the starting elf... "

"However, Player Ukai's starting elf is Fritos, and he did not send out a water elf to fight as Kameda wished..."

"No matter who Kameda sends in the first battle, he will make mistakes in prediction. How will Kameda recover from the unfavorable situation in the first battle..."
