The flying king of a certain Pokémon

August [-]st, the first day of the member qualifiers for the World Championship.

The location of this trial was not in the capital like the national competition, but in Shanghai.

There is no other reason. At this time, the "Beijing Central Battlefield" is holding a national competition in full swing.

The date conflict between the national competition and the selection competition is also to improve the strength of the contestants in the selection competition, and I don't want too many newcomer trainers to participate.

Those who don't have enough strength and self-knowledge should not come here to compete with trainers who are older and stronger than them.

As long as one gets a fair ranking in the national competition, one can get very rich rewards for newcomer trainers, while the trial competition is really just a selection, and there are no additional rewards.

The six members who won in the end can get the qualification to go to other countries for exchanges.

Other losers don't get any rewards.

Now, all the newcomer trainers who just wanted to join in the fun also had to weigh themselves.

Do you want to give up the rewards you might get in the national competition in order to join in the fun?

After all, the heirs of the gymnasium and the powerful newcomers who are very confident in themselves have gone to the trials, and the difficulty of getting a place in the national competition seems to have dropped all of a sudden...

That's right, even though the successors of the gymnasium knew that they might not be able to join the final team, they all chose to participate in the trials.

After all, for these super-strength students, avoiding the trials would give them a sense of avoidance, thinking that they are inferior to others.

Even Niu Zijun went to Shanghai to prepare for the trials.

Almost all of the top five in the second grade of Hangzhou Trainer School, including Qin Feng and Mi Yiling, participated in this trial.

Only Han Qiu, knowing that both Linghuang and Yan Pengyu would definitely participate in the trials, shamelessly went to the national competition...

After all, the selection competition does not have audiences and broadcasts like the national competition, and the battle process will basically not be exposed to the public's eyes. At most, the results will be reported in newspapers.

In Han Qiu's plan for his future, he needs to have a certain reputation. The champion of a national competition is a good platform.

Now that there are so many fewer competitors, he is of course heading for the championship.

The above are all Han Qiu's rhetoric, and the reasons are very reasonable and abundant.

But he still received unanimous ridicule from other people in the dormitory.

With their current relationship, this level of ridicule wouldn't hurt their friendship at all, but it would bring a lot of joy.

Mainly the three people other than Han Qiu will be very happy.

The scorching sun of August shone on the earth, and the people outside the battlefield in the devil city were much less than Yan Pengyu imagined.

It was far from the grand occasion of last year's national competition, and even the number of participants was less than that of the provincial competition.

Of course, young trainers in the past could only join the Trainer Association after graduating from university, or be an apprentice in a gym and the offspring of a trainer.

That's how many people there are every year, not to mention that those who joined the association after graduating from university were almost 23 years old when they became trainers. By the time they are almost capable of participating in the competition, they will probably exceed the upper age limit.

Gymnasiums may not recruit apprentices for many years, which cannot be compared with the scale of 500 students per session of the trainer school.

Excluding some who are not strong enough, and then excluding some who will be overage in the World Championship, the remaining batch are almost all familiar faces at first glance.

The fourteen heirs of the gym, Ling Huang, Mi Yiling, Qin Feng, Wen Qing who I met in the ice gym, Feng Shui who met once in the field training...

When Yan Pengyu looked at the final list of participating members, he was surprised to find that most of the opponents were actually known to him, or whose names seemed familiar to him.

Under the scorching sun, the huge magic city looked deserted on the side of the battle field. The few participating members and the empty auditorium made this huge battle field look particularly deserted.

Outside the deserted battlefield, it seemed extraordinarily crowded.

Reporters from various newspapers and TV stations carried all kinds of equipment, paper, pens and microphones, waiting for the start and results of the trials, hoping to get first-hand news.

Even if spectators and filming are not allowed in this match, the emergence of the "national team" itself is enough to attract the attention of the public.Therefore, when various media sent people to the national competition, they also sent people to report on the spot of the selection competition.

Right now, the group of reporters waiting under the scorching sun showed no signs of impatience. Instead, they were restless as if they had discovered some big news.

Through the gate, I watched a giant bird parked on the ground not far away, and raised the camera to take pictures.

"Is that a Pokémon statue?"

"A Pokémon I've never seen before, why did you set up such a metal statue?"

As an early report on the trials, this is a good subject.

So some less formal and ignorant media have compiled headlines and prepared news templates and published them on the Internet platform.

"Shocked, a mysterious statue was added to the selection site of the national team members"

"This is China's secret weapon!What is the true face of the mysterious statue? "

And some more knowledgeable but less formal media have also released news.

A statue of a steel-armored crow appeared on the scene of the national team trials! "

"Does the Steel Armored Crow Statue represent China's new cooperation with Britain! "

......

Just when the reporters were happily writing the advance news, hoping to grab a big news first, they were surprised to find that the statue seemed to move.

"A ghost-type Pokémon!?"

A reporter said in horror, and subconsciously rubbed the beads on his wrist.

Steel Armored Crow squinted at a group of reporters not far away, wondering what they were doing.

Obviously it is just to bask in the sun, to let go of one's mind a little bit, why is it suddenly surrounded by crowds?

Shaking his feathers uncomfortably, he spread his wings and flew away.

The reporters left at the door were stunned, not knowing what happened.

"Flew away... Could it really be a supernatural event?"

A reporter turned on his mobile phone tremblingly, and began to write new news.

"That's a steel-clad crow, a real steel-clad crow? Isn't that a Pokémon only in Britain?"

Some people have relatively rich reserves of knowledge and are very surprised. It turns out that the one just now is not a statue of a steel-clad crow, but a real steel-clad crow.

Because the whole body is made of metal, it looks very heavy, like a metal statue.And Huaxia doesn't have this kind of Pokémon at all, so it's no wonder they made a mistake.

"I remembered that the runner-up of last year's national competition was a flight trainer. At that time, he was quite well-known because of his arrogant speech during the interview."

A reporter suddenly realized.The top eight of last year's national competition went to Britain to study, and it was no exception that they would get a steel armored crow.

"The champion of last year's national competition? Didn't you just become a trainer for two years? You didn't even reach it, so you're going to participate in the trials?"

"It is estimated that the people who are comparing are the heirs of the gymnasium, and they will definitely not miss this opportunity."

"When the time comes, wait for him to come out and interview him first! There will definitely be a program effect!"

"Cena, I should have stopped him for an interview before he went in..."

Yan Pengyu, who became the center of discussion and interview of the reporters, was sitting by the flower bed outside the battlefield, waiting for the door to open.

Since I didn't come to the magic capital many times and I was not familiar with the terrain, I was afraid of being late, so I came to the battlefield a long time earlier and waited.Even the player lounge is not open yet.

There are also quite a few young trainers around, and most of them came to the battlefield early to wait because of nervousness or various reasons.

"You seem to have caused some commotion."

Yan Pengyu raised his head and saw the steel-clad crow basking in the sun flying back to him, and there was a lively voice from a distance, and he said with a smile.

"Gah."

Steel Armored Crow turned his head away, it didn't want to pay attention to those noisy humans.

Yan Pengyu smiled, and put his palm on the steel armored crow's hot body exposed to the sun.The hot body surface is as hot as the fighting spirit in his heart at the moment.

"The next battle will be hard on you."

"Gah!"

Steel Armored Crow nodded calmly, Yan Pengyu had already made arrangements with it.

The starter is not Bi Diao, but it has not been promoted to the professional level for a long time.

However, although it hasn't been long since he was promoted to the professional level, he is the heir of the king-level Pokémon, and his growth rate is faster than ordinary Pokémon.Coupled with Yan Pengyu's training, the steel armored crow's strength will definitely not be weaker than those Pokémon who have been at the professional level for a long time.

After the evolution, Yan Pengyu used the move learning device to let the steel armored crow learn the "reflective wall" and "light wall" moves, and developed them all to a very proficient level.

Except for the last "Brave Bird Attack", the other moves have also reached the theoretical power limit.

Under the development of this level of moves, the body of the steel armored crow is tempered by energy over and over again, and its defense is stronger than when it first evolved.

Even if he meets the senior rock snake at that time again, I am afraid that the steel armored crow will be entangled with the senior rock snake in the subversive period for a long time.

In order to prepare for this trial, Yan Pengyu also made a "Bird Slam" move learning device, plus a huge sum of money for him to buy a large number of various "enhancers" and "extreme physical strength". "Enhancing agent" will increase Bi Diao's speed and special attack, as well as the armored crow's defense until such enhancing agent fails.

Everything is ready now, and the rest depends on the performance during the battle.

And not far from Yan Pengyu, a girl with her long hair tied into a high ponytail was sitting in the shade of a tree, holding a notebook in her hand, drawing something on it with a pencil.

Under the big tree behind her, her slender body looked extraordinarily thin and thin.

There was no one around her, and no one came to break the tranquility around her.

In the notebook, a lifelike sketch was drawn with exquisite brushstrokes. It was a gray-haired boy smiling at the Pokémon.

A gust of wind blew past, interrupting the girl's drawing, as if invisible hands were flipping through the notebook quickly.

On each page of the white paper, there are various expressions and movements of the boy, and the first few pages of this old notebook are indeed a few children's graffiti-like drawings.

But even with the scribbles, it's roughly recognizable that this is the same person as those later elaborate sketches.

The girl frowned, as if dissatisfied that the gust of wind disturbed her painting.

So the slender pale fingers gently pressed down on the elf ball at his waist, and said in a voice without a trace of emotion: "Quick Dragon, blow this gust of wind back."
