Chapter 571 The World Championships Opens!
Chapter 571 The World Championships Opens!
On the evening of October 10th, in the Galar region, in Gongmen City.
Lu Yi and the other two were walking on the streets in the city center, Yinchuan was gnawing on a chicken leg, and Nazi was holding an ice cream in her hand, feeling the prosperity and hustle and bustle around them.
They rushed here from Yinyu City and enjoyed dinner together. It was already past ten o'clock, but there were still many people on the street.
From time to time, Lu looked up at the building in the distance. That was the Bianang Company. There were still many windows with lights on at this time, and no one knew what they were busy with.
Previously, Lu Yi had doubts about this building. He thought that since Mr. Yi lived here permanently, this might be the headquarters of the Hunter Guild, or even the G Branch which was "dark under the lamp".
But judging from the working status, the company is quite stable and no different from usual.
The World Championships are tomorrow. If this is really the Hunter Guild's headquarters and they want to take advantage of the opportunity to do something, it shouldn't be so orderly, right?
Regardless of whether their target is the conference site, even if they have their eyes on other places, they would still have to mobilize forces and deploy in advance.
Therefore, Lu Yi did not pay too much attention to the dynamics of the building. After all, after the Kanto Conference, the Alliance had already sounded the alarm. The security forces deployed in the Galar region were absolutely unprecedented and luxurious, so he did not need to worry about it.
However, what he didn't expect was that the next morning, before Lu Yi got up to visit the World Championships, he suddenly received a call from Miss Fia!
"Didi-di-! There's a call, Lotto!"
"Didi-di-! There's a call, Lotto!"
"Brother Lu Yi, is it convenient for you to talk now? I found something very strange!"
……
The next morning, the Pokémon World Championship opened as scheduled.
Xia Bo was holding a big bucket of popcorn and sitting leisurely in the first row of the audience, his eyes sparkling behind his sunglasses.
On his left, A-Jie had his arms crossed, looking very serious; on his right, Grandma Kikuko wore a sun hat and looked at the eight younger generations who were gradually coming on stage, her eyes full of admiration.
"Hahaha! The young are really formidable! I didn't expect that in this year's World Championships, strong guys like Mikoli, Daye, and Chibana all failed in the final settlement stage! Many gym owners and superstars didn't participate seriously, and instead let a few young people rush forward! The audience's expectations became higher all of a sudden! Hahahaha..."
Xia Bo looked at Ai Lan, Xiao Zhi and Alice, and couldn't help but sigh. He grabbed a handful of popcorn and started to enjoy it.
Next to her, Granny Kikuko nodded and commented, "Indeed, the athletes who are keen on participating in the World Championships are getting younger and younger. Most of the veteran kings and gym owners are not very enthusiastic. Let's not talk about the distant past. The three of us are good examples, especially you, an old man. It seems that you have never participated in any major competitions!"
"Haha! Why would I participate in this? There are so many restrictions and rules, it's annoying just to hear them!"
"Haha, that's quite in line with the style of our seniors." Aju smiled aside. He knew that the alliance had invited Xia Bo to participate in the event very early on, but the old man simply ignored him.
To be honest, with the attention paid to the World Championships, if a Pokémon of the level of Moltres could appear on the stage, it would definitely create more buzz and greater profits! It would be a hundred benefits for the Alliance, with no harm at all!
Unfortunately, Xia Bo's character is destined not to consider these things, and the alliance can only love and hate him.
While the three of them were chatting and laughing, the host had already introduced the eight masters and announced the order of the next battles.
In the first match, the winner of the Kalos League Conference, Alan, faced off against the "world's strongest trainer", Dante.
In the second match, the champion of the Kalos region, Miss Karunori, faced off against the double champion of the Kanto and Chengdu regions, Watari.
In the third match, the champion of the Sinnoh region, Miss Takeran, faced off against the young Unova champion, Aerith;
In the fourth match, the champion of the Hoenn region, Daigo, will face the first champion of the Alola region, Satoshi!
After the first round of the competition was announced, the scene was filled with enthusiasm. The director then switched the big screen to Mr. Yi, who was about to deliver the opening speech.
Before the new president of the Galar region even opened his mouth, thunderous applause and cheers broke out from the audience, which was enough to prove how popular Mr. Yi was!
A-Jie leaned towards Xia Bo and said, "Mr. Yi is really amazing. He has made great achievements in such a short time since taking office and has managed the Galar region in an orderly manner. I heard that even the Emperor of Dan admires him very much!"
"Yeah, he is indeed very resourceful." Xia Bo nodded, and then praised: "He has a good personality, too. When we interact with him on weekdays, he doesn't seem to be arrogant at all, and he is easy to get along with."
Hearing their discussion, Granny Kikuko was a little surprised, thinking, didn't A'Du ask us to pay more attention to him? Why are you two praising him? And the implication of your words seems to be that you have a good relationship with him? ?
Granny Kikuko instantly became alert. She knocked on the seat twice gently, sending a signal to Gengar in the shadow below. The latter immediately understood and secretly paid attention to Aju and Xia Bo!
At the same time, in a corner of the stadium, Yinchuan and Nazi hid in the shadow of a building, eating ice cream, drinking cold drinks, and looking forward to the start of the competition.
Yinchuan (slurp): "Sister Nazi, where did Brother Yi go? Why did he leave so suddenly? (slurp)"
Nancy (slurp): "How would I know? He didn't tell me. (slurp slurp)"
"Then can you use your super powers to predict it? (Slurp slurp)"
"What are you predicting? The outcome of the four games, or what's happening with Lu Yi? (Slurp slurp)"
"Any one is fine (slurp slurp). Although I care about Yi Ge, with his ability, he should be able to solve any problem, so it's not wrong to gossip about the game results. Anyway, it all depends on your mood! (slurp slurp)"
"I think if we really want to predict the future, we should still focus on Lu Yi (slurp slurp). After all, knowing the result of the game in advance will make the whole process boring. (slurp slurp)"
After Nazi finished speaking, the juice in her hand was almost empty. She casually handed it to Yinchuan, who immediately showed his gentlemanly manners and ran to the vending machine next to him to buy two more bottles.
Seeing that there was no one around, Nancy's eyes gradually glowed, and she used her superpowers to peek into the short future.
After a moment, her pupils dilated and her expression became much uglier!
"Huh... I bought it. It's really hot today!" Yinchuan ran back to Nazi with two bottles of cold drinks, but found that the latter was in a bad condition.
"Hmm? Miss Nazi, what's wrong with you?"
Nazi frowned, looked at Yinchuan and said, "I see a bad future. Lu Yi might be in big trouble!"
"Ah!? Then let's go help him quickly!!" Yinchuan was frightened when he heard that. He pulled Nancy and was about to leave, but the latter shook his arm off.
"No! We can't leave!"
"Why??"
"Because there is also big trouble here!"
