Pokémon: World of Wonder

Meanwhile, the Mayor's Office.

Yan Chengjiang tapped the table with his fingers, looking worried and sad.

He originally thought that he had worked hard to run the Steel Research Market over the years.

Not to mention completely taking over this territory, at least we can say that we have gained a firm foothold.

Unexpectedly, the Jiang family made an effort.

The Yan family was like wild beasts trapped in an iron cage, having difficulty moving or even making a sound.

Holding a head-to-head competition at this time is undoubtedly an attempt to let the whole league see what is going on in their family.

But his orders, once they left the mayor's office, were like stones thrown into the water, and no response was given after they were thrown.

There was nothing that could be done to stop it, and all that could be done was to watch the start of the head-to-head competition.

The show has begun, and it is the Yan family's turn to take the stage.

As for the Yan family, even if they don't want to take part in the battle, they have to go ahead and even mobilize all their manpower.

"Jiang Ye!"

Who is it?

Jiang Ye looked up and saw a cute and fragile-looking girl waving at him happily.

Ami?

Jiang Ye also raised his hand in response.

Ami came with an armored rhinoceros and sat next to Jiang Ye.

All of a sudden, his whole spirit went from tense to relaxed, and his face looked as if he had breathed a sigh of relief.

Not far away, Yan Leze, who had been staring at Ami intentionally or unintentionally, saw this and thought to himself, as expected.

This girl actually knows Jiang Ye!

If he had gone up to tease the girl just now, Jiang Ye would definitely have gone forward.

I'm afraid I'll be ravaged by Jiang Ye again by then!

"Ami, is this Rhino the Pokémon you're participating in the competition?"

"Yeah!" Ami, in a good mood, smiled and nodded.

"This child is very pitiful. Because of his steel attribute, he was deliberately abandoned by the leader."

As Ami said this, she touched the one-horned rhino's head.

"Silo~"

The one-horned rhino gently shook its head and rubbed Ami's hand, looking very happy.

Jiang Ye nodded in response. He knew what would happen next without having to think about it. After some things happened, he was finally conquered by Ami.

"Look, look!"

Ami's tone was a little excited, and Jiang Ye looked in the direction Ami was looking.

A female trainer is feeding a Tootsie. The long beak and claws on its head are steel-colored and it looks very ferocious.

"Steel-attribute Dudu! It's amazing!"

"Indeed, aren't these two heads heavy?"

"Yeah, I think so too. Could it be the properties of light metal?"

"Ah! Jiang Ye, look at that!"

......

The preparation time was spent with Ami chatting excitedly and happily.

Jiang Ye originally thought that Ami was a shy girl, but he didn't expect her to be quite talkative after getting to know her.

Well, at least more talkative than him.

After checking the time, Jiang Ye and Ami arrived at the competition route.

At this time, some experienced trainers have already brought their Pokémon out in advance and occupied advantageous positions on the track.

Jiang Ye didn't care. He found a relatively remote and quiet place in the back and released Xiaoyue.

Ami waved to Jiang Ye, who was riding a unicorn at the back.

She put a simple saddle on the armored rhinoceros and looked like she was serious about participating.

Of course, Jiang Ye only gave Xiaoyue a simple saddle and a pair of stirrups, and he looked like an amateur contestant.

A few other contestants put on leather armor.

The vast majority of them wore various iron or even steel armors to protect vital parts.

In the front right, a group of people are vaguely gathered together, and they are all pulling heavy mud horses.

These heavy mud draft horses should have had mud protective gear on their limbs and feet.

At this time, the color is slightly lighter, but it still has a reflective luster like metal.

Needless to say, these protective gear are definitely made of iron or even steel.

The Yan family really paid a huge price for this large group of heavy mud draft horses with steel properties.

In addition to the Yan family's group of heavy mud-pulling horses, there were also some individual people who were secretly led by the Yan family.

These people should have been bribed by the Yan family.

The remaining few trainers at the front moved away from the Yan family and wandered on the edge of the track.

Those who are not at an advantage at the back are Jiang Ye and his group, who are all ordinary contestants.

Either you are a weakling, or you want to play the pig and eat the tiger, or the focus is on participation.

At this time, the broadcasting arena was already crowded with people, and the floating machines passing by the trainers.

And various intelligent flying cameras flying in the sky are waiting for the start of the competition.

"Hey, look, what are those people doing? Why are they gathered together?"

"Hey~, you really don't know, those are Mayor Yan's people!"

"I heard that Mayor Yan spent a lot of money to bribe his opponents in order to win this competition!"

"Ah! Really? What's his purpose in doing this?"

Another audience member rolled his eyes at the questioner, "How should I know? If I knew, I'd be the mayor!"

"Hmph, I do know a little bit."

When they heard an ordinary man take over the conversation, a group of people looked over with curiosity.

"Oh? Brother, I'd like to hear your opinion."

As he spoke, a passerby grabbed a bucket of popcorn from a snack vendor nearby and stuffed it directly into the man's hand.

The man tore open the package without hesitation and stuffed a handful into his mouth.

He said in a muffled voice, "I heard it from someone in the Jiang family."

Hearing this, the group of people became even more excited.

"It is said that Jiang Wuya wants to select one person from this head-on competition to marry into the Jiang family's main family!"

"Ah! That's incredible. The Jiang family is very wealthy. Even if she is married into the family, she will be the nominal head of the Jiang family!"

"That's right, this time we're going to have a good show."

"I understand! The Yan family must have gotten inside information this time!"

"I just want our young generation to show off their talents and gain Jiang Wuya's recognition in one fell swoop."

"By then, the Yan and Jiang families will be able to develop without restraint!"

This was heard by an old man who was eavesdropping nearby and couldn't help but speak up.

"Hey, hey, hey, why do you think it's so simple? How can we old guys not know what kind of character the Jiang family is?"

"I think this is the big pit that the Jiang family dug to bury the Yan family!"

"The Yan family has been in Gangyan City for so many years, and the two families have always lived in peace."

"The Jiang family suddenly launched an attack this time. Jiang Wuya must have found something on the Yan family!"

one young audience member sneered.

"Old man, if you ask me, this time it's the Jiang family that wants to marry into the Yan family!"

"After competing openly and covertly with the alliance for so many years, I think it would be better to let the son of the Yan family marry into the family."

"Although Yan Leze is a beast, he is a waste."

"Even if they control Yan Leze, Yan Chengjiang, the old man who regards Yan Leze as his lifeblood, is still controlled by the Jiang family, right?"

Just as both sides insisted on their own opinions and a group of audience members took sides and argued fiercely.

The qualifying competition for the first stage of the head-to-head competition has officially begun.
