Pokémon: An Encounter with You

Chapter 372: Countdown to the Pokémon Festival

"You're here so early." After pulling Yize out of the Pokémon Center, Shi Qiu started chatting with him casually.

"Of course you have to arrive early for something like this." Yize said as if it was a matter of course, "I was here a few days ago."

"Let's talk about it later. Can I get my ID card now? Let me get my 'admission ticket' first."

The two walked all the way to the center of Zhumen City, to the front desk of the Hall of Victory.

Yize and Shi Qiu are participating in this celebration competition as coordinators. There is still a long time before the competition starts. Those who have successfully registered and plan to participate in the celebration are rushing to the Victory Hall in the center of Zhumen City from different places around the world.

This Pokémon Celebration is a super large event for trainers and coordinators. Its entry requirements include both the Regional League Conference and the Grand Celebration. Anyone with a gym badge or coordination ribbon can participate.

It is known as an absolutely inclusive world event.

Of course, the Victory Hall in the center of Zhumen City, as an open-air venue, is the main venue for this celebration, but it is also one of the venues for all activities.

After Shi Qiu received his identity card, Yize began to explain the content of this Pokémon Festival to his friends who were in seclusion.

"First of all, the Grand Exhibition Match has been cancelled this time, and I guess there won't be any World Pokémon Celebrations in the future."

Yize swiped his phone and projected a page of information in front of him.

"Instead of the grand performance, there are 'celebrations'."

"It is said that only a few of the dozen or so activities will be held in the Victory Hall."

“Most of the rest of the celebration activities are carried out on other platforms in Zhumen City, and will be broadcast live simultaneously in the co-hosting areas such as the Huaxia District and the French District.”

Shi Qiu was surprised: "More than a dozen activities?"

Ize nodded.

"Things like 'Life Events', 'Attack Events', 'Elemental Events', 'Speed ​​Events', etc., are basically based on the six-dimensional abilities of Pokémon, and are a dual test of actual combat and coordination."

Life, physical attack, special attack, physical defense, special defense, speed, and then there are also special celebration activities and tracks such as hit rate, dodge rate, transformation moves, abnormal status, etc.

It is imperative to implement the two concepts of actual combat and coordination together.

"The first event is the 'Extreme Speed ​​Event', which should be a coordinated practical test of speed ability."

“Are you going to attend this event?”

Yize asked, and proudly lifted the golden hair on his forehead: "Let me make it clear first, as an electrical expert, I must get a place in this event."

He thought that the speed of the Xenomorph when it was at full power was, in a sense, faster than that of Shi Qiu's strange Alakazam!

Shi Qiu thought for a moment and asked, "Is there a quota limit? For example, only one elf can be sent out for an event."

Ninetales's Snow Walk, Aledo's Lightning Breathing, and Lucario's Super Speed ​​should all be tried out in this event.

Ize: "Of course not, but most people probably wouldn't do that to prevent excessive consumption of the elves' physical strength... Wait, do you have other elves that are also good at speed?"

Shi Qiu smiled.

Yize had a toothache and suddenly began to feel uneasy.

He looked to the side, his eyes suddenly lit up, and then he immediately changed the subject:

"See over there?"

Shi Qiu followed his instructions and saw a road with some guards standing on it: "What is that?"

Ize said mysteriously, "Last time, the two top coordinators appeared in the Magic City Grand Contest and attracted a lot of attention, but compared to the Pokémon Festival, it's nothing."

"It is said that there are already 11 top coordinators from various regions who will be present. These are just the confirmed ones. There must be more that have not been revealed." Yize lowered his voice.

"More importantly, the top fighters, the king-level characters, have confirmed that they will participate in the competition... This channel is prepared for the top coordinators and those two or three king-level characters."

In such a grand event, let alone the superstar, the appearance of any top coordinator would cause a certain sensation.

The two chatted while coming to a high platform, and they could clearly hear the sound of crowding and noise coming from the passage below.

The two were startled and saw the lively scene there.

That was... a young man who looked to be around thirty years old, being surrounded by countless people.

"What happened?" Shi Qiu and Yize looked down curiously. The crowd was so dense and there were no protective measures. It would be bad if a stampede occurred.

The situation in this area was immediately noticed and managed by relevant personnel. After a while, the crowd was immediately dispersed by the staff, and the young man was solemnly received in because of his special identity.

Yize frowned at first, then fell silent, and then held Shi Qiu's arm tightly.

"Oh my God! I remember it!" Yize's voice was dazed, but with a hint of excitement and surprise.

"The current king of England, Alex!"

"He's been keeping a low profile lately, I didn't think of him for a moment... This is the current king of our region!"

Yize was in a very complicated mood, he seemed a little worried, but also a little eager to try.

"He's a master who specializes in fire!"

The Four Heavenly Kings...and one of the genuine Four Heavenly Kings in office.

Looking at Yi Ze who was beginning to become restless, Shi Qiu fell into silence.

The Four Heavenly Kings do not just represent the pinnacle.

This title cannot be compared with that of a top coordinator.

Even though I had heard rumors from Considine long before and had made sufficient preparations, I still felt a little caught off guard when I got the exact news.

After all, seriously speaking, there is always a difference between the level of the Four Heavenly Kings and the incumbent Four Heavenly Kings.

The appearance of an active superstar will bring huge changes to this Pokémon Celebration.

......

Only when he returned to the lodging room at the Elf Center did Shi Qiu gradually calm down.

He lay down on the bed and took a deep breath.

Shi Qiu thought about it carefully, and the pressure brought by Yize disappeared instantly.

What does he have to worry about? If he loses, he won't lose anything, and if he wins, he will make a lot of money.

The person who is probably under more pressure than him is Mr. Zhang Qiaohe, who is known as the strongest top coordinator.

…………

…………

12 month 3 day.

The first World Pokémon Celebration event has officially begun.

At 9:15 in the morning, several figures walked one after another from a quiet path that was separated into the Hall of Victory...
