Pokemon Dawn

June 21st, early morning.

A steady stream of traffic flows into the athletes' village, making people feel that this is not a remote suburb, but the center of Miyuan City. The cold air in the past has been filled with people's conversations and laughter, and the huge quartz sports ground is full of seats.

The electronic signals carried the voices and images to distant places, causing all the eyes of the world to focus on the noisy sports ground on the Quartz Plateau.

The Quartz League Competition - more formally known as the regional league in the Kanto region, has undoubtedly been the focus of Kanto people's attention over the years. In the minds of young trainers, the regional league has a heavyweight status, and almost all trainers will

Start your first year of travel with the goal of participating in a regional league.

It symbolizes dreams and challenges, and young trainers are proud to set foot on this arena.

The noisy salute resounded across the crowded plateau, announcing the official start of the annual trainer event.

The opening ceremony of the Quartz Alliance competition has always had no complicated and lengthy performances. After the sound of the salute dispersed, all the contestants stepped into the Quartz Stadium to the impassioned drum beat of the music.

Xiaoye and the four people who were always inseparable took the initiative to spread out this time - according to Xiaoling, it was better to shock everyone with their soaring results than to be noticed because of the group's weird outfits at the opening ceremony.

As always, the top leader of the Pokémon League, Damaranchi, appeared at the competition in person and gave an inspiring opening speech. The torch runners then entered the venue, and the blazing torch was far brighter than ordinary flames, which made everyone excited.

Many people looked at him with pious gaze.

That is the flame of the legendary mythical beast Flame Bird. According to legend, the flame of the divine bird has always been a symbol of imperial power in ancient times. Human emperors must be recognized by the divine bird guarding the Quartz Plateau before they can sit on the throne of God. The fire of the divine bird reflects

The earth will be protected by the sacred bird. Today, the flame of the flame bird appears as the flame of the competition's sacred fire on the highest sports fields in various regions. It is also synonymous with the will and dominance of the Pokémon Alliance.

Xiao Ye, who was wearing a windbreaker that was too hot, did not go to the center of the crowd. Instead, she tried to stand in an unobtrusive and cool corner, quietly watching the opening ceremony progress little by little. Chairman Dama Lanqi has always been known for his energetic and energetic style.

The image appeared in front of the public, and the speech was full of inflammatory power, which was enough to make the young trainers roar with excitement again and again, wishing to join the competition immediately and fight hard. However, for Xiao Ye, who lacks hot blood cells, the mood of eager to try

Indeed, there is no such thing as "overwhelming excitement".

Then, when the torch runners were about to light the cauldron...all the contestants present experienced what it meant to be stunned.

Xiaoye watched helplessly as the familiar Team Rocket duo of two and one cat took away the flame, and activated the huge robot in the middle of the stadium. For a moment, she could only show the same blank expression as the Pichu in her pocket. It took her a long time to remember the original

There does seem to be such a plot in the animation.

Perhaps "members of the underground corps Rockets broke into the Quartz League venue with a high profile just to snatch the flame which has no use other than symbolic meaning" sounds like fake news from a top-notch tabloid, and many players were at a loss.

As if struck by a strange light, they all suspected that this was some kind of sideshow specially arranged by the competition organizing committee. Instead, Xiaozhi, who dealt with this group of people every day, was the first to react and sent out Pokémon and Rocket without saying a word.

The teams started fighting.

The chaotic battle did not last long. When the power of the waveguide began to rhythm uneasily, Xiaoye was keenly aware of an extremely powerful aura approaching. Before she had time to look around, the burning holy fire seemed to have wisdom.

A riot broke out like living creatures.

The orange-red flames turned into the form of birds, and the graceful posture of attacking the enemy made countless people hold their breath unconsciously. Until the high temperature burned everything, the intruders made a grand exit, and the security personnel slowly regained control.

Order, many young people still can't come to their senses.

Everyone knew that what they witnessed might be a miraculous scene that would never happen again.

"I see..." Xiaoye murmured thoughtfully as she watched the nonsensical scene in the past animation play out completely before her eyes.

"What the hell?" Pichu, who had been holding back questions for a long time, immediately swept the trainer's finger with his little tail impatiently, "Master, do you know what happened to the Firebird just now?"

"The spirit of the holy fire is just a myth. In fact, uncontrolled flames will not recognize the enemy and attack on their own, even the flames of divine beasts are no exception." Xiao Ye raised her head and looked at the blue cloudless sky.

, "So, the only possibility is that the real flame bird is nearby and remotely controls the flames originating from itself to repel the enemy - I think everyone who watched the live broadcast of the opening ceremony will come to this conclusion."

"Weird, no wonder I felt a little numb on my scalp just now..." Pichu pinched his ears, and it seemed that he was not completely unaware of the approaching aura of the mythical beast.

"Although it is just a baseless guess, I think the organizers of the competition were not unaware of Team Rocket's infiltration, but deliberately let it go after confirming their target. If Team Rocket dared to take action against the Holy Fire, there would be no doubt that

The Earth will be repelled by the Flame Bird hiding in the dark. This is announcing to the world that "The Flame Bird is still the trump card of our Pokémon Alliance." After experiencing the Miyuan explosion and the three-god bird attack in Guren City,

After the incident and other major disasters, this is indeed a very suitable way to establish authority...Pichu?" Xiaoye, who was doing her reasoning smoothly, suddenly found that Pichu was silent. She took the little velvet ball out of her pocket and took a look.

As expected, the mice have turned their mosquito-repellent incense eyes.

"You humans... are too complicated, Qiu!"

Whether it was establishing prestige or announcing, these contents were too far away from a small contestant. After the opening ceremony, Xiaoye followed the flow of people back to the service hall of the Pokémon Center to confirm the information before the game.

In addition to the main venue, the Quartz Stadium, the Quartz League Player Village also has four affiliated branch venues. The four knockout rounds before the top 16 matches will be held in the branch venues. The battle venues of the branch venues include water, ice, grass,

There are four types of rock. Players need to press a button at the front desk to decide the battle location, opponent and time of their first round.

After receiving the competition guide book, Xiao Ye completed a series of operations according to Miss Joy's prompts. And looking at the information that popped up on the big screen... she just felt that she needed to wash her hands.

Battle venue: A branch venue, grass battle venue

Opponent: Sonoda Shunsuke

Battle time: 10:00 a.m. on June 21st

Due to the large number of participants in the first round, it takes two full days to complete the entire competition. All trainers hope that their competition time will be as late as possible, so that they can have enough time to investigate the opponent's information and make targeted arrangements.

Tactics - this is also one of the abilities tested in the league competition. And Xiaoye... looked at the wall clock with the hour hand pointing to nine o'clock, and confirmed with a blank face that she really couldn't be a European.

Ten o'clock in the morning is the start time of the first round of the first round. Xiaoye originally planned to meet everyone first and pay attention to everyone's opponents. Seeing this, she had to give up this plan and plunged into the computer screen in the service area.

When Xiaoye opened the trainer archives with ease, she was still thankful that Mr. Xinghai taught them the method of quickly investigating the opponent's information a while ago. If they can reach the top 16 in this competition and get bonuses, they can't forget to buy some gifts.

Give it to Mr. Xinghai to express your gratitude.

If you don’t get the bonus…

You might as well tighten your belt to express your gratitude.

The trainer archive is the most convenient official website for querying trainer information. It will record the basic information of the trainer, including the Pokémon used and the honors received. After entering "Sonoda Shunsuke" in the search bar,

The photo of the boy I saw at the front desk appeared on the screen again.

Xiaoye's opponent an hour later was a boy with brown hair and black eyes who looked very well-behaved. He was ten years old like Xiaoye and was a trainer who had just debuted for half a year. The boy's resume only had a few lines, and Xiaoye quickly listed the key points.

Know it in your chest.

Sonoda Shunsuke's eight badges were all obtained in relatively simple gyms such as Nibi Hualan, and he has not successfully challenged difficult gyms such as the Golden Gym. The only official competition he has participated in is the hometown shallow gym.

The Bug Pokémon Celebration held in the Red City, like the Green Field Cup that Xiaoye once participated in, is a competition with lower difficulty and mainly for newcomers. He reached the top sixteen in the competition and used Pokémon

It's Nidoran, Moru Moth and Mosquito Tadpole.

Xiao Ye then checked the video of his battle at the Bug Festival two months ago, and quickly made an expected assessment of the opponent's strength. Generally speaking, the boy named Sonoda Shunsuke was not very capable.

The newcomers are relatively weak among all the contestants. This makes Xiaoye feel a little relieved - if not only the competition time is so early, but also the opponent is too strong, she will really doubt that she has been "defeated by the will of the world".

Repelled so that the fate line trajectory always falls".

At ten o'clock in the morning, Xiao Ye arrived at the A branch venue on time.

She walked forward step by step along the contestants' aisle. The hot wind blew against her face, and the audience's deafening cheers hit her eardrums, exerting the unique sense of oppression of the event on everyone who was about to step onto the field.

This is the first time in Xiao Ye's life that she has stepped onto the field of a regional league. Logically speaking, this memorable scene should be recorded by her family, and the contestants should also be nervous and apprehensive, with even their palms soaked in sweat——

Unfortunately, all tension comes from the uneasiness of not getting what you want and the pressure of not being able to respond to expectations, and Xiaoye is completely insulated from both.

Her purpose in participating was just not to miss the good opportunity to train her Pokémon, and to try to make some money to pay for the last installment in July. To be honest, it was stressful...

I'm afraid only the scenario of losing so miserably that you have to drink cold water to survive for the next month can scare people.

After taking the last step, the dazzling summer sun shone in the sky, burning people's skin together with the high-pitched voice of the commentator. In just a few seconds after walking to the trainer's seat, Xiaoye stood up to the gaze of countless spectators.

He looked around and looked around with a good attitude.

There are not many spectators in the A branch venue, and most of the seats are still empty - the first round of the battle is usually not interesting, not to mention that Xiaoye's match time is too early, and most of the spectators may not have had time to visit the player village.

.

Xiaoye was surprised to see Chairman Damaranchi sitting among a group of spectators, chatting animatedly with them. The top leader of the alliance likes to watch Pokémon battles. He rarely misses the Quartz League every year, and he will probably attend this year.

As usual, choose a branch venue every day to watch the juniors' competition in person.

"It is now ten o'clock in the morning, Mihara time, and the first game of the first round of the 381st Quartz League is about to begin!" As the commentator finished his words, the big screen on the field displayed the information of the red and green sides.

Sonoda Shunsuke vs Hokuto.

Xiaoye still remembers that when she opened the alliance identity protection permission before signing up and entered the code name, Xiaoling curiously asked about the meaning of the word Beidou. Xiaoye simply replied at that time, "It's the name of a star." Although Xiaoling

I have never heard of a star named Beidou, but I haven’t looked into it further.

It is a coincidence that there are Polaris and Southern Cross in this world, but there is no trace of the Big Dipper. Just like the group of people who call themselves the "bad gang" who once carried all the meaning of Xiaoye's existence, and the irreplaceable division commander, it seems that

All are mirages that have nothing to do with this world.

But they transcended the barriers of time and space, leaving countless deep marks on the girl, making Xiaoye who she is now.

After turning on identity protection, the photo in the personal information will only be a system default avatar silhouette. Some viewers seemed to be puzzled by this. After the commentator explained the reason for identity protection, there were only a few confused voices soon.

disappeared, and more people didn't think there was anything strange about it at all.

After all, the third-seeded player of this Quartz League, "Greyhound", is also a guy wearing a vest, and he has already popularized the concept of identity protection to all competition followers in disguise.

The whistle sounded for the start of the game. Seeing the first strike sign under her avatar, Xiaoye sent out her first Pokémon.

The blue puppy jumped lightly into the grass, raising its chin proudly.

After a long period of special training before the game, Riolu is basically able to follow instructions freely. Unlike Yukidouzi, its combat ability is relatively reliable and is very suitable for training in the Quartz Alliance.

The next second, Xiaoye suddenly felt an uncomfortable aura, as if a malicious beast was staring at her secretly. She looked at the trainer opposite and suddenly frowned.

The boy's dress is completely different from the style in the battle video. His clothes don't seem to fit well, the cuffs and trouser legs are a bit shorter, but there is a thick scarf strangely wrapped around his neck, and a peaked cap on his head, which is almost...

Can't see his face clearly.

Under the scorching sun, the heat brought by the scarf caused sweat to cover the young man's forehead. But he seemed not to notice it. Under the shadow of the brim of the hat, those dark green eyes were like pythons, filled with fanatical and cold light.

He raised the corners of his mouth high, and a huge figure like a demon appeared beside him.

The dust was flying, the sunlight was dim, and the malicious red eyes quietly opened.

Thought power earth puppet.

====================

Small theater:

Generally speaking, the young man named Sonoda Shunsuke is a newcomer with not very outstanding abilities, and is relatively weak among all the contestants. This makes Xiao Ye feel a little relieved - not only is the competition time so early, but also the

If her opponents are too strong, she will really suspect that she is "rejected by the will of the world and the trajectory of her fate line is always falling."

System prompt: Dear players, this system never lies. Please don’t take chances anymore. It is an irreversible fact that you have been rejected by the will of the world and the trajectory of your destiny line is on a downward trend. You will understand this truth in an hour.

.

An hour later——

System prompt: Player [Xingyuye] sent Riolu [lv.30]!

System prompt: The opponent [Sonoda Shunsuke...?] sent out a telekinetic earth puppet [lv.60]!

Xiaoye:...Can you tell me why a newcomer from Kanto has a telekinetic clay doll? And the level is so high that it's scary?? (dumbfounded)

System prompt: Because you are rejected by the will of the world, the trajectory of your destiny line is on a downward trend.

Xiaoye:…………
