Pokémon: Going Against the Current

"Actually, our Liuli Hall master won the runner-up in the alliance competition seven years ago, Mukeqing."

"Runner up in the league competition?"

The words of the girl in green reached Mu Yang's ears, which shocked Mu Yang's heart.

"Yes, the Liuli Pavilion Master at that time was only in his early twenties. He was not yet a pavilion master. Naturally, he also participated in the league competition and competed with those young heroes."

The girl in green nodded and replied to Mu Yang.

Runner-up in the league competition...

After hearing the explanation of the girl in green, Mu Yang remained silent for a long time and fell into a state of silence.

What is the concept of runner-up in the alliance competition? Those forces and families are no longer hiding it. Almost all the young trainers of Lianmei are dispatched, so the gold content naturally does not need to be much. Even if you are a quasi-king, there is no guarantee that you will survive the knockout rounds. There are too many quasi-kings in the knockout round, and even some of the favorites to win the championship have fallen on the threshold of the knockout round.

Some of them were unlucky and met opponents of the same level as themselves in the knockout round and lost after a hard battle. Some of them were defeated by dark horses who came out of nowhere. Only luck and strength coexist to qualify. Capture those one hundred and twenty-eight seats.

Because the alliance competition is not just a simple competition, but a game between the major forces. The results in the alliance competition can affect the allocation of resources among the major forces in the next three years to a certain extent. For this reason, the major forces have spent a lot of money on training their own contestants.

The strength of each of their contestants is not inferior. If they don't have the strength of quasi-king or above, they will be embarrassed to participate in the league competition. The strength of the quasi-king is just a threshold. To obtain one of the precious seats, generally you need the advanced strength of the quasi-king.

As for those civilian trainers who have collected eight gym badges, they are indeed qualified to participate in the league competition, but they are basically here to make soy sauce. They will usually be screened out in the first round of knockout rounds, and there are three knockout rounds in the league competition. wheel.

If a real dark horse appears, they will try their best to win over the other party, because if this person joins that force, his achievements will be counted as that force.

But as a result, the conditions they give in online articles are often extremely generous, which is why many wild trainers choose zaide

Being able to win second place under such circumstances is enough to show how powerful Gu Liuli was back then. Even if he did not reach the peak below the king level, he was not far behind.

Since the league competition limits the age of contestants to twenty-three years old, no one can surpass the quasi-king level, and they are all stuck at the quasi-king level.

The youngest king recorded in the history of the alliance. A trainer named Zhi was promoted to king at the age of only twenty-two and became the youngest king in the history of the alliance. This caused a great sensation at the time.

But generally speaking, it is normal for people in their thirties to be promoted to king-level trainers. Liu Xingyu of the Dark Team was promoted to king at the age of or , which is considered very young. There are also many people who were promoted to king in their forties or fifties. Now, of course, there are more people who will be promoted throughout their lives.

"It's a pity to hear about the last match. Originally, the leader of the Liuli Hall had a chance to win the championship, but in the end he lost to his opponent by one move."

At this point, the girl in green couldn't help but sigh.

"Sorry, that's a bit much."

At this moment, the girl in green suddenly realized that she had gone too far, and quickly apologized to Mu Yang behind her.

"It's okay, you continue, I also want to know about the past of your Liuli Pavilion Master."

Mu Yang shook his head and said to her.

To be honest, Gu Liuli should have a very good understanding of his history and past, after all, he had investigated it, but Mu Yang knew very little about Gu Liuli, so Mu Yang wanted to take this opportunity to really get to know Gu Liuli.

"After winning the championship in the league competition, Liuli Hall hosted..."

Mu Yang said nothing after that, just quietly listening to the girl in green telling the legendary past of Gu Liuli.

……

"The way out from here is outside the Liuli Gym. Take care, Mukeqing."

After more than ten minutes, the girl in green finally brought Mu Yang to the exit of Liuli Gym.

Finally arriving at the exit, Mu Yang couldn't help but sigh inwardly when he saw this scene.

I have to say that the Liuli Gym is really big and there are many roads. It is very normal for you to get lost if you don’t have an acquaintance to guide you.

In the previous conversation with the girl in green, Mu Yang had almost understood Gu Liuli's past. The more Mu Yang felt about Gu Liuli, the more terrifying he became.

Gu Liuli's family background is superior, and his parents are both extremely powerful quasi-kings. Because Gu Liuli's parents are both extreme perfectionists, they all hope to cultivate Gu Liuli into a perfect person, so they treat Gu Liuli as a perfect person. Liuli's requirements are extremely strict.

From then on, Gu Liuli began to receive the most rigorous elite education. He had to be the best in elf cultivation, elf fighting, elf treatment, dealing with others, and all abilities.

Logically speaking, it is impossible for people to be perfect in everything. After knowing their thoughts, the friends of Gu Liuli's parents all shook their heads. They were just dreaming. Even the teachers who taught Gu Liuli couldn't help but frown after learning about this matter.

Some teachers felt sorry for Gu Liuli's talent and even tried to persuade Gu Liuli's parents not to do this. But no matter whether it was the advice of friends or teachers, they could not listen and still insisted on their own ideas.

Time flies, and more than ten years have passed. Gu Liuli has inherited the genes of her parents, grown into a stunning beauty, and exceeded the tasks assigned by them.

At this time, Gu Liuli seemed to have really accomplished their goal. With her strong strength, profound knowledge, and stunning beauty, her performance in all aspects was almost perfect, as if she had truly achieved almighty, at least on the surface.

Nine years ago, when Gu Liuli was twenty years old, he won the championship in the Sun and Moon Youth Competition in the City of Sun and Moon.

Seven years ago, when Gu Liuli was twenty-two years old, she participated in the league competition and advanced all the way. Finally, she narrowly lost to her opponent in the league final and won the runner-up place in the competition. At this time, her strength was no less than that of his parents.

Six years ago, Gu Liuli's parents explored the interior of the Jingshui Mountains in search of enough resources to be promoted to kings. In the end, they were unlucky and both died.

Five years ago, Gu Liuli came to the City of the Sun and Moon alone. With his powerful strength at the peak of the quasi-king, he convinced all the gyms in the City of the Sun and the Moon, including Wu Zhanfan and Dugu Ming who had not yet been promoted to the king at that time, and founded At the Liuli Gym, which mainly focused on fairies, she made no moves after that, and Gu Liuli's name began to fall silent.
