Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

It was the fiftieth day of traveling to the Kanto region, and it was drizzling.

When he woke up in the morning, Yu Hai saw drizzling rain outside the window. It had been two days of good weather, so why was it raining again today?

After having breakfast at the Pokémon Center, he was ready to set off. As for the Pokémon configuration for the Quartz Conference, he just needed to go to the Quartz Conference Players Village and ask Xia Gan to teleport to the Gym. There was no rush about this matter.

There are still a few days left before the Quartz Conference. If he teleports here early, he will have to take care of a few more mouths and a few more elves, which will increase the time for cooking. He will wait until he arrives at the contestants' village.

In addition to teleporting the participating elves, he also has a lot of things to deal with for the current main elves. Providing props to the eight main elves is the most important thing.

Currently, only Poliwag and Giant Crab have props. Props need to be given to other elves, and the props of Poliwag and Giant Crab also need to be replaced.

But these will be processed in the Quartz Conference Player Village. It is just the bonus of an item and its impact on the battle situation is not that big. Giving the elves items in the early stage of the group stage is enough for them to adapt to their own items.

After breakfast, he put on his raincoat, released the ox, and rode the ox slowly towards the Quartz Plateau.

It was not until the rain stopped that he put down his raincoat and hat, took out the trainer's manual for the Quartz Conference, and opened it to read the rules of the competition.

In fact, it is similar to his competition in the Orange Islands. The number of participants can only be known at the Quartz Conference. If it is a three-on-three competition system, then the number of times a trainer can change Pokémon is three times, and six-on-six is ​​six times.

The remaining rules are that an elf that passively avoids battle and has no will to fight will be directly judged as the loser. If the number of replacements exceeds and an elf is forcibly replaced, there will be a warning once, and the second time will also be judged as the loser.

There are also moves for exchanging Pokémons, which are not counted in the number of times you change Pokémons. As long as every Pokémon has a move for changing Pokémons, you can change Pokémons as many times as you want and it does not count as a foul.

There is also a rule that both trainers need to release Pokémon and attack at the same time. If you are a step slower, you will be warned and lose the advantage of taking the initiative.

Also, if you fall asleep on the battlefield and cannot wake up, it will be treated as passive avoidance of the battle. Also, you can only bring one fruit, but there is no limit on props.

This is also related to the fact that Pokémon cannot do two things at once. It is a bit like biting off more than one bites off. There are Pokémon like this, it just depends on how the trainer arranges them.

There are also rules about the age of the trainer, the number of Pokémon, and many other similar rules...

The most basic rules for participating in the competition are that you have to obtain eight badges, or a qualification badge from the Alliance Certification Center, to pass the preliminaries.

Next is the group stage, which will be divided into four venues for competition, namely the water venue, grass venue, ice venue, rock venue...

The order of the four venues is determined by the trainers drawing lots, and the opponents are also determined by drawing lots. The group stage will be eliminated until only sixteen people are left before entering the knockout stage.

The group stage is a three-on-three format, and the 16-person knockout stage is a six-on-six format.

Until the semi-finals of four to two, and the final, the champion of the Quartz Conference will be decided.

In fact, there is another semi-final, which will decide the third place between the two players who failed to advance to the next four. There will be an extra match after the final.

If he wants to make it to the knockout round, he can only use auxiliary elves to preserve the strength of the main elves. After all, the knockout round of sixteen people will require four rounds of matches to decide the champion.

There are six games in each round, and four rounds mean twenty-four games. The eight main elves need to play twenty-four elimination games, which is quite stressful.

His tolerance for error is only for two main elves. Once the battle damage and injuries exceed three main elves, he will have to use five main elves to play the finals. Five against six is ​​his disadvantage.

He didn't know how other opponents would arrange their lineups, or how many main players would be left in the finals. His requirement for himself was to keep the main players and let the auxiliary elves play in the group stage.

After entering the knockout round, the eight main elves will take turns to fight. If any of them are slightly injured, they will be replaced to preserve their combat effectiveness, so that everyone can accompany him to the final.

Don't even think about Pokémon that you have just captured but haven't yet cultivated, such as Diglett, Magnemite, Agate Jellyfish, and Mud Squid. These Pokémon are not cultivated after being captured, and cannot be considered auxiliary Pokémon, so they cannot play in the game.

He has already decided which support Pokémon he will use. In fact, the only support Pokémon he can use for the competition are Butterfree, Farfetch'd, Starfish, Slowpoke, and his mount Taurean, which can barely be counted as one, which makes a total of five support Pokémon. Xiaozhi has more Pokémon that can participate in the competition than him.

When the group stage comes, he plans to use a one-on-two, or two-on-one tactic, letting the auxiliary elf take the lead.

The so-called one leads two means that two auxiliary elves take the lead. If the first auxiliary elf wins, even if the second game is lost, the second one will also be an auxiliary elf, and the third one will be the main elf to support the team.

The same applies to the second generation. If the first auxiliary elf loses, then the second elf can only be the main elf, and the third one is also the main elf. Use the remaining two main elves to make up for the disadvantage and win the group stage.

This will preserve the strength of the main elves, allowing them to face stronger opponents in the knockout rounds.

There was no other way. He didn't have two teams of main Pokémon, so he could only arrange the tactics in this way. Trainers with fewer Pokémon than him could only enter the knockout round with six Pokémon, which was already the limit, but he was aiming for the championship.

As for the champion's prize...

The champion prize is a Kanto Mikado and a set of three evolution stones, you can choose one of them.

The runner-up prize is a Kanto Misanka and two evolution stones, you can choose one.

The third place prize does not include the Big Three, but is an Evolution Stone set of three, from which you can choose any one Evolution Stone.

The three-piece set of evolution stones in the prize is actually the water stone, fire stone, and thunder stone, all of which are high-level evolution stones.

The prizes are still very generous. If you choose to sell the Evolution Stone, the starting price will be at least 30 million.

It's a pity that the three starter Pokémons cannot be sold, at least not openly, but they can be kept in the breeding house for breeding privately and it is still possible to pretend that they are not aware of it. It depends on how the trainer operates, and there is a lot of room for manipulation.

If he doesn't win the championship this time, it's okay to get a runner-up, and he can get a Starter Squirtle. I hope the Starter Squirtle that the League selects are all top-quality. If they are inferior products picked out by newcomers, the League's sincerity towards the participating trainers will be too poor.

Looking forward to the arrival of the conference and also looking forward to the little turtle, he put down the trainer's manual and looked up. He could already see the snow-capped peak of the Quartz Plateau. The conference would be held on the top of the mountain.

Next they had to climb the mountain. Relying only on Niu Niu's strength, it would take at least two days to reach the Quartz Sports Stadium. If he took a car, it would only take half a day.

Along the way, he has seen many trainers heading towards the Quartz Plateau. Some are taking cars, some are walking, and some are riding Flying-type Pokémon. It is really lively!

He walked until dark, but he still hadn't reached the Quartz Plateau. He had just reached the foot of the mountain. He didn't plan to walk any further, so he planned to camp at the foot of the mountain and climb again tomorrow...
