Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

The twentieth day back in the Orange Islands was cloudy.

bang bang bang-

dong dong dong-

Fireworks exploded and Yu Hai was awakened from his sleep. He heard a hurried knock on the door. He just opened his eyes and Ada opened the door.

"Ahai, the opening ceremony has begun. How long are you going to sleep?" Dunmei was dressed very beautifully today, revealing her arms, shoulders, and thighs. A large white area was swaying in front of her eyes.

Yu Hai drank last night and was still in a daze. He rubbed the corner of his eye with difficulty, and there was still a large amount of eye boogers hanging there.

“The preliminaries last for four days, so you can challenge any of them in one day. You just need to win four games and get four competition badges,” Yu Hai lifted the quilt and yawned loudly.

He wanted to continue sleeping as there was no rush for the preliminaries, but Dunmei was so anxious that she kept stamping her feet, so he could only say a few words of comfort.

"Okay, wait for me to wash my face," Yu Hai got up, dressed and went to the bathroom. After a simple wash, he took his backpack and went to the Citrus Sports Field with Atsumi.

"Ada, hurry up," Dunmei was afraid that she would be late and the opening ceremony would be over.

"Toucan, please, take us there," Yu Hai and the other two had just left the room. It would be too difficult to run there now, so they might as well use the elves to get around.

Watching the three people being carried into the air by the elves, Dunmei's father and mother opened the window and looked at the three people flying up, sighing helplessly: "Young people are always so impulsive..."

"Dad, let's hurry up and don't let the children wait anxiously," Dunmei's mother took out a face towel and toothbrush and asked Dunmei's father to wash up quickly. There were still preliminaries after the opening ceremony, and he had to cheer for the children.

……

At the same time, Ukai and his two companions, who had quickly rushed to the Citrus Stadium using Flying-type Pokémons, had just landed at the top of the audience seats when they heard the host's impassioned, gentle and kind voice, full of energy and enthusiasm, shouting to the entire conference hall.

"good morning everyone!"

"Today, we gather here with excitement to welcome the grand opening of the Orange Competition. I am today's host, Lillian, and I am very honored to share this special moment with you all."

"First of all, on behalf of the Orange Alliance, please allow me to express my warm welcome and heartfelt thanks to all the scholars, guests, and the Four Heavenly Kings who attended today's opening ceremony!"

As the host finished speaking, the camera on the big screen turned to Professor Oak and Xia Bo who were present today, as well as the Four Heavenly Kings Hiba and Kona, President Damarachi, and many other invited celebrities.

“At the same time, I would like to express my deep respect to all the people who participated in the preparations for this competition. It is because of your hard work and support that today’s event can be held smoothly.”

"Today's Orange Tournament is designed to provide a platform for trainers from all over the world to showcase their strength and exchange experiences."

“As the largest Pokémon battle event in the Orange Islands, the Orange Tournament not only tests the tactics and wisdom of trainers, but also the combat capabilities of Pokémon. The tournament encourages them to grow together through fair competition, friendship and teamwork.”

“Each contestant has gone through countless challenges and hardships to be able to stand on this stage. Their efforts and persistence deserve the admiration of all of us.”

“In the days to come, we will witness one wonderful battle after another, feel the tacit cooperation between Pokémon and trainers, and the extraordinary wisdom of the trainers.”

"Whether you are a rookie trainer or an experienced senior trainer, every trainer has the opportunity to prove his or her strength here and compete for the honor of being the strongest trainer in the Orange Tournament."

"The Orange Contest also provides a rare opportunity for everyone to meet like-minded friends and share their spirits, travel stories and experiences."

"We believe that this competition is not just a competition, but also a platform to promote exchanges and enhance friendship."

"Finally, I hope that everyone will enjoy this feast of elf battles in the next few days and gain a lot of memories and valuable experience."

“Let us cheer for every contestant and witness the birth of a new legend together!”

"Now, I declare that the Orange Competition is officially open!!!"

"Let us welcome all trainers with warm applause. All trainers are also invited to go to the Pokémon Center to register for competition badges and participate in the four-day preliminaries."

"thank you all!"

bang bang bang-

Fireworks around the Citrus Stadium exploded again, and the trainers who had received the competition badges were leaving in an orderly manner. Trainers without competition badges could only go to the Pokémon Center to sign up and receive them.

This matter started a few days ago. Every trainer who has registered with the league and has no bad record can receive a competition badge. If they lose the badge, they will no longer be able to receive it, but they can challenge to win a competition badge.

Seeing this, the opening ceremony is over. The preliminaries will be held in the open-air competition venues around the Citrus Sports Stadium. There are many competition venues and many spectator seats around it, making it convenient for the audience to watch the preliminaries for free.

The group stage will be held in four small venues with different attributes, which is similar to the competition system of the Quartz Conference. In order to avoid trouble, the Orange Islands directly adopted it.

The final elimination match will be held at the Citrus Sports Field, and that will be the real event...

"Ha," Yu Hai, who was sitting at the top of the audience seats, raised his hand to cover his mouth and yawned. He had finished watching the opening ceremony and it was time to get his competition badge and prepare to participate in the preliminaries. He only had to play four games, and they would compete separately.

Four qualifying matches can be completed in one day, and the next three days are also given to players to collect intelligence on their opponents. Smart trainers know what to do.

"Let's go and sign up for the preliminaries," Ada also felt that the opening ceremony was boring, and didn't know why his sister had to watch the opening ceremony.

"No need to sign up, I've already registered you, and the competition badges are here with me," Dunmei showed three competition badges, which happened to be the competition badges for the three of them.

The badge is red and white, with a Poké Ball mark on the front and a miniature citrus stadium on the back. It is truly a badge with the characteristics of the League, with Poké Ball marks everywhere.

However, when Yu Hai and Ada were about to reach out for the badge, Atsumi closed his palms and dodged, snorting coldly: "Because you two slept in, I missed the opening ceremony, and the competition badge is gone..."

"Ah, sister? Why is this happening?" Ada looked bitter when he heard that his competition badge was confiscated. With one less competition badge, his difficulty level increased by one point.

"Hmph, who told you to sleep in? If you want a competition badge, go and win it yourself," Atsumi snorted coldly when he saw Yu Hai's bitter smile, and asked King Dai to take him out of the audience.

She believed in Yu Hai's ability and could easily handle the four qualifying matches. It would be a bit more difficult for Ada, but she could have off-court coaching in the qualifying matches, and her father would keep an eye on Ada, so it wouldn't be a big problem.

If you have three competition badges, you can also win four more badges. Then you can give the badge to whoever is still short of competition badges.

In order to prevent experts from bullying weak players in the qualifiers, getting the competition badges and then reselling them, as well as the badges being lost, the competition rules have added a tolerance rate for one badge.

The rules of the competition stipulate that each trainer can only win four games in the preliminaries, then he will lose the qualification to continue fighting and only need to wait for the group stage to begin.

If you lose the battle on purpose, you still need to have a badge in your hand. The number of wins determines that a contestant can only have five badges, and even if you lose the game, you can only lose five times.

But the tournament also stipulates that different trainers can only battle against each other once, unless you find three different trainers to lose to you three times.

In normal battles, you only need to win three times, and you will still have an initial competition badge in your hand. The situation of Yu Hai and Ada is special, and it is no different from losing the badge.

There are also qualifiers held in unofficial battle venues, which are not recognized by the organizer. The competition must be held at the organizer's battle venue, and the competition records must be retained for the competition badge to count.

Before the group stage begins, there will be a final registration. If the participation record and number of badges do not match the registration results, you will lose the qualification.

It is conceivable that in order to win the competition badge, this qualifying competition may be a very intense competition, which can also increase the popularity of the competition from the beginning.

Whether for money or for a qualification to participate, trainers will give their all in the preliminaries. If they fail to obtain a competition badge, they will lose the qualification to participate in the next competition.

After the competition, the Pokémon Center will distribute badges with the characteristics of this year's Orange Competition as souvenirs for tourists who come to watch the competition. The number of them will be unimaginable. This thing is not worth much at all...
