My elf trainer simulator

『Fight.』

『It is a tool for me to revitalize Orei.』

On the rock.

Shan Min looked at the central area that had completely collapsed due to the [ground fissure]. There was a palpitation in his eyes for Kashiwagi's decisive action, and a trace of envy.

Being strong is really an enviable thing.

If he also had this strength, why would he be so cautious and dodging in the preliminaries.

Beep beep--

A harsh reminder sound came from the watch.

This is a sign that the preliminaries are completely over, and it also means that the ground just collapsed, successfully eliminating the number of remaining players to 64.

Can there really be 64 left?

Shan Min looked at the collapsed area and couldn't help but doubt that Kashiwagi was so precise?

With doubts.

He waited for the teleportation safely. Thanks to his identity as a half-referee, he and the injured returned to the Silicon City Players' Meeting venue first.

"President! Congratulations on your promotion!"

A familiar staff member appeared in front of him.

Although he has not yet taken office, everyone has already called him the president, and no one thinks it is inappropriate.

Shan Minoru hummed, "How many seriously injured are there?"

"No serious injuries have been found yet. Currently, only one contestant has a fracture and is currently recuperating in a special ward. Lord Denis is going to visit to express his condolences."

"I see."

The danger of a competition system like the Grand Battle is self-evident.

Even if everyone will not throw skills at people, the trainers are close and it is inevitable that there will be bumps and bruises.

Shan Minoru was prepared to comfort the seriously injured and even apologize publicly before the start of the game. Fortunately, the reliable villain technology brought him the best results.

He went backstage and asked about the specific circumstances of the elimination.

After watching the retrieved game video, he realized that there were exactly 100 people left in the last wave.

Thirty-two were eliminated instantly by the collapse of the earth.

Darkrai launched a sneak attack on the Pokémon that escaped back and killed two at once.

Mega Aledo, who had not reached the center, killed one.

Super Kairos killed the one closest to it.

The last one...

Shan Min looked at Qi Qilin, who was ruthlessly knocked away by the running Snorlax and fell into the pit, and its livid young trainer.

What was this kid's name?

Right.

Ford.

We had exchanged and fought in the Yellow Iron Arena.

Shan Min smiled helplessly. He hadn't been so speechless for a long time. The ending of the preliminaries was too dramatic.

"Start preparing for the banquet. Remember to announce the list of players' performance on the spot."

"Yes!"

Generally speaking, the dinner of the league conference is either not held or held the night before the start of the game.

The Orei League took a different approach and held it after the preliminaries.

First, in order to attract various media, it focuses on introducing the many players who have advanced to the next round.

Second, after the preliminaries, there is a day off, and even if you are drunk, it will not affect your performance in the subsequent games.

The losers can also participate, and each player will receive an invitation.

But I guess not many are willing to come.

This may be criticized, and it can be regarded as a minor flaw.

Shan Min arranged the pre-match preparations for the afternoon and tomorrow in an orderly manner. There are three rounds in the preliminary round, and each round is three-on-three.

In addition to the main venue at the top of the battle mountain, four branch venues were built along the spiral upward of the mountain.

Sixty-four players, thirty-two games, and four matches were arranged in each venue every day, which can be completed in two days.

"I will draw the opponents for each player in each round."

Shan Min looked at everyone present and said, "Whatever you draw is what you get, do you hear it clearly?"

"Clear!"

Everyone responded loudly.

Two years of administrative work allowed him to cultivate his own team, similar to the employees of the Marlokomon Group.

Shan Min had no intention of having a one-man show in Olei, but he would not allow anyone to team up and drag his team down.

At the same time.

Kashiwagi returned to the scene.

A group of awe-inspiring eyes were handed over around him.

Although thanks to his "restraint", this game did not become a one-man show until the end.

But all the trainers who have experienced the sweep of the super giant Steelix know very well what kind of monster they have faced.

It's like an ant looking at the sky.

"Hey! Did you advance?"

Kashiwagi saw Cheng Hong who was at a loss, and waved to him quickly, "Where is Otsuka? Did he advance?"

Cheng Hong looked over when he heard the voice, and was happy at first, then shook his head sadly, "I advanced, he didn't..."

Kashiwagi's expression froze.

No?

I remember seeing Otsuka's face at the last moment, was he affected by the ground crack of Steelix?

Cheng Hong continued: "The boss used the Earth Fissure at the end, and Otsuka and I ran back in advance when we saw that the situation was not right.

"I didn't expect that Darkrai was blocking the road at the exit, and Otsuka's rogue crocodile was hit by the dark hole in order to save my dragon head hamster..."

Dakto!!

Kashiwagi was relieved, but also angry and helpless.

Before the game started, he reminded everyone to be careful of Darkto several times, and everyone really listened.

Who would have thought that the last step before promotion would be so unlucky.

Life!

"Where is Otsuka?"

Kashiwagi looked around, but he didn't see his figure nearby, and the other brothers were not there either.

Cheng Hong smiled bitterly and said, "He said he wanted to be alone."

"... Tsk."

He knew that this guy had found a place to cry. He didn't even make it through the first tournament preliminaries, which really hit his confidence.

The hard work of the past six months seemed to be negated at the moment of being defeated.

The greater the goal before the game, the greater the sense of gap now.

Kashiwagi wants to find Otsuka.

Chenghong said, "Boss, you'd better not go."

"Why?"

"Otsuka ran away mainly because he was worried about affecting you. Although we all believe that you will definitely win in the end, we don't want to cause any burden to you, even just a little bit. He can do it himself!"

Chenghong's tone became firm, as if he was talking about himself.

Kashiwagi looked at him, nodded and said, "Okay."

The comfort of acquaintances will only make it more difficult to survive.

Sometimes people are like this. The wound will heal if they don't get comfort, but the wound will tear again and again if they get comfort.

Win above and lose below.

Behind the big battles that made the audience excited, there was a narrow path leading to the sky. If you are not careful, you will be squeezed down.

Or even fall down by yourself.

This sugar-coated cruel medicine can only be tasted at the moment of defeat.

Earlier, Xiaozhi failed to achieve good results in the competition. He would cry by the lake and feel sad alone. But later he was able to accept it with a smile.

Have you become stronger mentally?

Hard to say.

Kashiwagi and Narihiro came to the lounge, where the promotion list will be announced.

"Kashiwagi!"

A deep voice sounded next to my ears.

He turned around and saw a blond man two meters tall.

There is no doubt about it.

It was none other than Batras, the Master of Battle Mountain whom I had seen once on the streets of Silica City.

"This should be considered our first official meeting, right?"

"That's right."

Kashiwagi stretched out his hand and said: "Looking forward to the duel with you."

Bartras stared at him, stretched out his hand and shook it and said, "I'm looking forward to it too. I won't give up my position at the top of the Battle Mountain to anyone!"

Master Zhanshan, in the past, only powerful trainers with a hundred consecutive victories could be awarded this title.

Beside Batras, Leo also came to say hello.

It's also not particularly familiar, but compared to the former, Leo is at least a teammate who has played in the Shadow Team together.

"haven't seen you for a long time."

Leo, who looks cold on the outside, is actually very enthusiastic. He gave him a big hug and said with a smile: "You performed well in the qualifiers. Did you dig through the ground? Very domineering!"

Kashiwagi couldn't bear it any longer and kept saying, "Thank you, thank you."

As he said.

The super giant steel snake had nothing to do, hollowing out the ground in the center of the canyon, waiting for other players to come in.

[earth cracking]!

With a bang, it filled them all up like a pothole, a classic trap for the Rockets trio.

It can only be said that the Rockets trio can use the tactics until the late stage, which is indeed something.

He looked around. There were many familiar faces, but many were missing.

Say hello one by one.

The promotion list appeared on the big screen in the lounge.

There are sixty-four people in total, eight horizontally and eight vertically.

Even if all his acquaintances are arranged, the sixty-four places may not be filled.

But unfortunately not so lucky.

The three yellow iron arena trainers, Kendall, Silver Ape and Silver Horse, were all eliminated, and there were also very few arena players left in Silica Beryllium City.

The remaining acquaintances are——

Batras, Masagi, Leo, Ryuto, Ayana, Gladion, Ruka, Dakoto, Narihiro, Huoyan, Tetsuya, Marin, Yamaminori, Manmitsu, Kenta, and Takeru.

Not counting himself, there were only sixteen people.

He had no impression of the remaining forty-seven people.

"Balza! Where is Balza?" Kashiwagi suddenly remembered this little friend and turned to ask Chenghong.

Deserter No. 1 Balza!

After all, he was a trainer who had been strengthened by him. How could he fail?

I seemed to hear a familiar name.

A hedgehog-headed boy ran over and said, "I know Balza! I won the fight!"

"...dragon?"

Kashiwagi's pupils trembled.

The dragon man nodded and smiled: "It's me, thank you! Thanks to you, Lugia can get rid of the pain. I didn't even know that its purification failed!"

After saving Lugia, he went out to travel and have adventures.

He didn't learn the news until Lugia was sent back to Ole by Kashiwagi for purification.

"I can't thank you, you eliminated my best friend."

He said helplessly.

The dragon man laughed and said: "Don't be so stingy! It's normal to lose and win in battles! Didn't you also eliminate other people's friends?"

"You're right, it's my fault."

Kashiwagi shook hands with him.

Reality is life.

Qualifying matches like the Grand Brawl greatly increase the possibility that the strong will eliminate the weak.

According to the qualifier rules of other regions, monsters like Kashiwagi can kill two or three in the sky.

How could he kill more than eighty people like now?

Kashiwagi saw Tetsuya and went over to say hello.

"I didn't expect you to come."

"I have to come, otherwise when you become the Ole Champion, we will have no chance to play against each other."

Tetsuya smiled with a clear purpose: "Avenge the shame of the previous battle!"

Turn around.

He sighed again: "You know Xiao Sheng is here too? But he was eliminated by a girl from the Lava Team——"

"It's just...I..."

Huo Yan came over from the side like a female ghost.

Tetsuya was frightened, his face turned pale, and it took a few seconds for him to turn rosy and cover his chest.

"Why are you still breathing heavily when you speak?" Kashiwagi asked doubtfully: "Have you ever thought about improving it?"

Huoyan was silent, then tilted his head and said: "Boss... tell Huocun... this is my cute point?"

What a special cute point!

But you are good-looking, it's up to you!

Kashiwagi shook his head, saw Liuge in the corner, walked up to greet him: "Boss~"

"Now you are the boss."

Liuge glanced at him, full of class.

He is obviously the warden of the Southeast, why is he as miserable as Qingmu next door?

Kashiwagi smiled and said: "My boss is just a title, how can you be the real boss?"

"Shut up! Don't think I dare not beat you just because you are strong now!"

Liuge stared at him, obviously he was very unhappy as the warden, gritted his teeth and said: "I want to take this opportunity to change my job to become an investigator! Whoever stands in my way will die!"

Pokemon Investigator.

A special criminal fighting profession.

Adu, the champion of the distant Kanto and Johto League, is a member of the Investigator.

Kashiwagi pulled the corner of his mouth, "Good luck, boss. If you have anything to say, just tell me. I'll go through fire and water~"

Liu Ge looked a little crazy, even though he was wise and rational when he first met him.

Maybe he is the kind of person who can't settle down.

There is no need to talk to Ayana for a long time, just give a thumbs up from a distance.

Awu was chatting with someone. As a social terrorist who once forced N and Shan Minoru to reconcile, he is very good at making new friends.

Man Chong...

Is this guy deliberately avoiding him? Why is there no one?

Gladion is not seen either. Is he injured?

Actually not.

It was Lusamine and Liliae who came to the scene of Silicon City.

When they saw the last scene, they were very worried about whether Gladion was affected by the crack.

But with the protection of Silver Companion War Beast, they can rest assured.

The Ultra Beast Countermeasure Pokémon can save Liliae from the tentacles of the Hollow Eid, and can also save Gladion in the crack.

After the list of players was announced.

The organizers provided a lunch for the players, and everyone was welcome to participate.

Even for trainers who could not attend or did not want to attend, the organizers would thoughtfully deliver food to the room.

I never thought.

There were more people coming than expected.

Only a dozen of the more than 400 players were unable to attend due to injuries, and four were absent.

Shan Minoru stood on the center stage and gave a speech thanking all the contestants.

"... Thank you, the first Ore conference was so popular, it is your credit! Drink this cup! Thank you all!"

He drank a whole glass of wine.

Hualala--

Applause.

The foreign trainers felt novel. The Canyon Brawl Tournament Qualifiers were dangerous, but adventures in the wild were not safe.

Therefore, although everyone was injured, they had no objection.

Instead, they surrounded Kashiwagi, the culprit who hurt them, and fed him wine half flatteringly and half instigated.

It felt like losing on the field and returning to the wine field.

The local trainers felt strange. They may not have participated in the charity competition, but their parents had basically watched it.

Either voluntarily or forced.

Now they have become the objects of others' watching, just as Shan Minoru said before.

It is particularly unnatural.

But anyway, based on the current situation.

The opening ceremony and preliminaries of the first Ore conference were a great success!

Kashiwagi's last ground crack topped the hot search list on blogs, Pokémon and other platforms.

There is no need for the organizers to do marketing.

There has never been such a wonderful start!

Please cheer for Oregi!

A lively banquet.

Kashiwagi barely avoided being drunk by those trainers. When he opened his eyes and walked out of the bedroom the next morning, he thought he might be drunk.

On the sofa in the hall.

Lukia was crunching potato chips, Adam was drinking coffee elegantly, and the butler was standing by.

"You are only eighteen, how can you drink?" Lukia looked over and asked.

Kashiwagi was silent for a while, then said:

"Ore... does not follow the laws of Hoenn."

PS: What keeps a man awake all night?

Answer: Of course it's what my dear book friend said in this chapter (gritting teeth)

Listen to me, thank you! Because of you! It warms the four seasons!
