Dual-career Pokémon trainer

Suzuran Arena is always empty on weekdays, but the strange thing is that even if no one is using it, there are a large number of staff cleaning and maintaining the venue every day.

But today, the originally empty auditorium was already full of guests, with countless people and Pokémon sitting in it, and the empty arena was filled with dense crowds like military training.

"Pokémon have been living together with humans since a long time ago, and due to their actions of helping each other, the name trainer has gradually evolved.

Perhaps to commemorate the time when our ancestors fought with Pokémon together, or to communicate with each other through battles, Pokémon battles have been around for a long time. As time goes by, Pokémon battles have become a trend, and gradually they are used to determine who is the strongest trainer. Our ancestors started competing again and again and gradually evolved into large-scale annual events involving the entire region.

And this is also the original origin of the Alliance Conference. "

Following the introduction of the broadcast, a man in a pure white sportswear stood on the pure white steps, holding a torch in his hand and climbing up step by step until he reached the highest platform.

Gently tilt the torch into the pearl-like pure white metal basin, and the orange-red flame burns fiercely.

At the same time, countless fireworks were lit in the sky above the arena, and the radiant light aroused the fiery atmosphere of the entire venue.

“And now I announce that the opening ceremony of the Sinnoh Pokémon League Suzuran Tournament has officially begun!

The excellent Pokémon trainers and their Pokémon who have defeated many powerful enemies will use everything they have learned along the way to stage a fierce Pokémon competition with their unique skills and power. .

The trainers who won the championship in this competition not only proved that they were worthy of the title of trainer, but also one of the tests they must pass before climbing to a higher peak!

Therefore, all trainers participating in the competition are asked to use your full strength in the next battle to let everyone present experience your Pokémon battle! "

The moment the broadcast sounded again, there was a huge screen slightly below the cauldron.

There are the coal badges that look like Poke Balls made of rocks, the forest badges with three trees connected together to look like a jungle, the cobblestone badges that look square even though they are called cobblestones... one after another or Whether it's a stranger or a gym badge, it seems to record the efforts of the trainers present.

After all the gym badges were crossed, cards with the Poké Ball logo appeared on the screen one after another. What was strange was that each card was connected to the one next to it.

"Then we will announce the player groups for the first round of the Pokémon League Suzuran Tournament!"

As the sound of the broadcast came out, the cards on the screen flipped over in unison, and the heads were connected to each other.

If you have good eyesight and compare them one by one with the people below, you will find that the photos of the characters on the cards and the people below are all the same.

And as the groups appeared, whispers started to come and go among the participating queues.

Or say with confidence, "I will definitely win."

Or he said with disdain, "This guy looks weak."

There are some who encourage the Pokémon around them, and there are also trainers who seem to recognize their opponents and keep repeating "How did you meet him!" with a decadent look on his face.

Of course, there are more people who look up at the screen and look confident.

Among them, a young man wearing a red and white hat that looked like a triangle with a piece missing like a Poké Ball tightened the hat on his head, as if he was about to turn it to the back of his head, but then stopped. An excited smile appeared on his face.

"The Lily of the Valley Conference, I... want to win!"

But suddenly a sound above his head seemed to interrupt his excitement at the moment.

"Mosaic leaves."

He just rolled his eyes and explained: "If you feel uncomfortable, don't always be on my head. Can't you just stay on my shoulders or float beside them like them?"

"Flowers and leaves."

The little guy above seemed troubled and pulled at the brim of his hat as if he wanted to take it off, but was immediately held down by the boy.

"Don't think about it, I'm going to be wearing this during the competition."

"Mosas and leaves, flowers and leaves!" Seeing that the hat that had just been lifted a little was pushed down, the little guy slapped the boy hard on the head.

"Don't move. This is my lucky thing. It can also be regarded as chasing my... um... idol? No, childhood? It seems wrong? The goal of longing? .... I don't want to marry him... .

Anyway, no matter what, don’t break it for me anyway. I treasure it very much. Since it is my first competition, of course I have to wear it! "

"Flowers and leaves~"

The little guy stretched out his little arms from the brim of his hat for the boy to see.

"Okay, okay, three boxes for each meal during this period."

"Hua Ye!" Seeing the young man's compromise, the little guy shouted in a victorious tone. Then the young man felt a lightness on his head, and then his left shoulder gained some weight. He subconsciously reached out and touched the little guy on it.

"That's pretty much it."

The people around this guy who behaved a bit strangely in the team didn't pay much attention to it, because it can be said that many people at this moment were excited to discuss and cheer up their Pokémon because of the opening ceremony and the grouping just now. stand up.

Also at this moment, in a room high up facing the entire glass surface of the arena, a blond woman in black was not sitting on a soft sofa, but was sitting next to an old man with a short beard that was close to the ground. Standing in front of the glass, he looked down at the crowd standing on the battlefield.

Looking at the energetic crowd below, the old man seemed to recall his own youth and couldn't help stroking his beard: "Every year, this is the time I like to see the most. It's so energetic. I just don't know who among them is." Who can win the championship in this conference? It’s really exciting.”

"Who knows? What is the next Pokémon? What is the next move? What is the opponent's next move? All these unknowns are the key to Pokémon battles.

It's just... I hope it's a talented kid, after all, I'm really tired of playing with them. "

The blonde woman gently smoothed her hair and looked down with a soft expression.

"Haha, the words of the Bamboo Orchid Champion are too exaggerated. Even if one of the children below does have the talent you had back then, the time will be too short."

Thinking of those old rivals, Zhulan shook her head slightly: "After all, we have fought against them so many times. Although they have come up with some fresh tactics a few times, it is still not interesting.

By the way, President Damaranch, I’m going to take a leave of absence after this conference. "

"Again? You have already taken seven months of leave this year."

Damalanchi had a headache when he heard Zhulan's words. Why do you think the champions of every region are like this? In Kanto, the four kings are still going through a death cycle and have yet to decide on an existence that can crush all other opponents. The championship in the Chengdu area is also hanging high. As for Fengyuan, Dawu has been missing all year round. Later, he pushed his friend Mi Keli up and finally got better. The problem is that this guy is also on a business trip to the Fengyuan Alliance every three days. Do a few things to fly all over the world, hold gorgeous contests and catch good seeds.

Kaluna, who is almost a champion on Carlos's side, is an actor. She tells Manshan all day long that she has to attend several scenes a day and at the same time she also has to act. The main thing is to leave the matter to the Four Heavenly Kings.

In comparison, Zhulan from Sinnoh is really more dedicated than those others. After all, you can still find her for a period of time every year, and you can even catch her occasionally in Shenhe Town.

But when he thought about this, he couldn't help but envy the Alliance President next door who applied to join the Galar region of the Alliance more than ten years ago. His name seemed to be Roz, right?

Their champion is a conscientious person. He is either playing games or fulfilling his obligations as a champion every day, or you can see him on TV and listen to what the guy said. Apart from these things, the champion trains every day.

Speaking of this, Damaranch very much doubted that maybe this was also the reason why the champion of Galar was so powerful. After all, the champions of several other regions... There are vacancies, and those who do their own thing do their own thing, in short Perhaps the reason why the champions don’t fulfill their duties as champions is because they have less training on Pokémon due to their respective hobbies.

So... you champions, can you work hard for me, an old man? Don't let our old regions be suppressed by a new region that joined us more than ten years ago!

"Well, recently I heard from Karuna that there is some news over there, and it might make my Fierce Bite Land Shark stronger."

"Stronger?"

Damaranch, who was still secretly complaining about the unreliability of several league champions, immediately became energetic when he heard this.

"Well... according to the records, I have been looking for it for a long time. I went to Carlos several times before because I found in ancient books that this phenomenon seemed to be the first to be discovered there.

It was also because of this that I gradually became acquainted with the champion Kaluna over there. "(Of course, another reason is that they both like to eat delicious food. The first time they met was when they disguised themselves and went to a five-star restaurant in Carlos and bumped into each other, which she won't say.)

"Then what are you waiting for! I've approved this fake, go, go, go!"

"It's not time yet. There is an announcement from Karuna now, and I'm also a little curious about who the winner of this year's conference is."

"This...Old man, I also want to know, hahaha!

I hope this time the champion will be able to bear it after knowing what happened. "

At the thought of this, Damaranch had a theatrical smile on his face.

"Like the true trainer he is, I think he'll be delighted."

Looking at the crowd gradually dispersing in the arena, Zhulan whispered with expectation in her eyes.
