Pokémon Beyond the Blue

The opening ceremony of the conference is divided into two parts: the entrance of the players and the game explanation and speech. Generally speaking, it is not troublesome.

In the player's private lounge prepared for the tournament, Riolu looked at the bustling scene outside the window, and then looked at Ikki whose legs were shaking so much, he had no choice but to say: "You might as well stay and rest. Let’s get used to the situation in the room. The conference will be broadcast on television. What should I do if someone I know sees it? 】

It was okay that Riolu didn't say anything, but when Ikki saw his words, he trembled even more violently.

"I, I know, too, but, I just can't calm down!"

Ikki lay down by the window, his legs could hardly use any strength, and he relied solely on the strength of his hands to keep him from falling.

"You see there are so many people outside, everyone would be nervous, right?"

Ikki was originally not suitable for dealing with crowded situations. The number of viewers now was at least tens of thousands, and there were thousands more watching in front of the TV. It was really difficult for him not to be nervous.

[Although there are many people, they may not be looking at you. Just relax and treat tomorrow's game well. Moreover, the opening ceremony is just a show and will be over soon. 】

Riolu had never thought that Ikki could be so difficult to deal with. Just trying to find a way to make him relax had already taken a lot of effort, but he was just an elf and there was still a limit to what he could do.

'Why did Yukino and Hai choose this time to arrive late...'

How to comfort children, parents are better at it...

Thinking of this, Riolu felt a pain in his heart and his body felt as if it had lost all strength.

Seeing that Riolu didn't show him any more messages, Ikki looked at Riolu in confusion, only to find that he was covering his chest and lowering his head, thinking about something.

"What's wrong with you, Riolu? Are you sick?"

Ikki rushed up immediately and lay on the bed to check his physical condition.

[I'm fine, don't worry about me, I will tell you if there is something wrong with your body...]

Waving his paws, Riolu got out of bed, walked towards the door, and typed the last sentence:

[The show is about to take place, so it’s okay to keep it this way!And your elves are with you! 】

Ikki looked at the words on the illustrated book and muttered to himself: "Ah, that's it!" His eyes suddenly glowed with joy, and he looked at Riolu gratefully.

That's right, he was not alone, he was accompanied by friends he met along the way.

Riolu struggled to avoid various players and staff and came to the auditorium. Not far from the entrance, Nazi was sitting in the front row waving to him.

Why be so cautious?The reason is very simple, because elves in other areas are rare. If someone randomly brings trouble, they will not be able to escape in a short while. But with Nazi as their backer, Kirulian and Riolu dare to Appearing in front of people so arrogantly.

"Why are you so slow? Didn't you agree to go in with him and take a look before leaving?" Chirulian scolded.

Nazi was not surprised at all. Looking at Riolu's haggard face, she basically understood the reason: Ikki must have had stage fright after seeing so many people.

The fence of the auditorium was made of cement and was a little higher than Kirulian and Riolu, so the two of them could only lie on it and watch.Nazi thought it was funny, but she didn't stop their behavior.

Riolu looked at the extremely low aura behind him, and finally realized what kind of terrible impact Nazi's identity had.

A large part of the audience here are trainers, and there are also many who know Nazi. After seeing such terrifying power, even if Chirulian and Riolu affected their vision, they did not dare to say anything. , they didn’t even dare to raise their tone, they just got together and talked about some rumors that didn’t exist at all.

"Okay! Then the opening ceremony of the Quartz Conference will officially begin at this moment!"

With the host's high-decibel shouts, the audience also echoed loudly, but only the area around Nazi was silent.

 Then, the players began to enter, and Ikki stood at the back. At the moment of his appearance, although he was still nervous, he looked pretty good.

"Hey, what on earth did you say to that kid, so he came out so naturally?"

Nazi secretly came to Riolu's ear and asked with great interest.

Riolu scratched his ears that were itchy by the air she blew out, and ignored Nazi, continuing to look at the situation at the scene.

"Humph, you stingy guy, I'll teach you a lesson with this when the opening ceremony is over!"

Nazi took out a feather from behind her back, which was obviously the one Ikki had been holding.

"O...Olu!!"

Nazi was actually taught bad things by Ikki!

At this time, in the audience behind Nazhi, people who were still whispering were now completely silent.It's not because of Nazi's various strange rumors, but because her actions just now were really... amazing!

The opening ceremony was just a lively event for Chirulian and Riolu who had nothing to do with it, and everything that happened after that was just as Riolu remembered: Xiaozhi replaced the injured torchbearer to pass the torch, Rocket After the trio's troubles and the declaration of the conference, the conference officially opened.

Nazi brought the two elves to the exit of the club to greet Ikki. In her spare time, Nazi took out the feather and teased Riolu.

"Whoo~ it's finally over!"

Ikki wiped the sweat that was dripping from his forehead as he walked outside. As soon as he came out, he saw the wonderful scene of Natsu chasing Riolu around Chirulian.

"Ah, you're out!"

When Nazhi saw Ikki coming, she gathered up her feathers and handed him his backpack.

"But next we have to register the elves for the competition. The competition schedule will be released tonight - that is, it will be released shortly."

Ikki took out the belt containing the Poké Ball from his backpack and looked at the sky in distress.

"Then let's go quickly, you still need to make some preparations, don't you?"

After Nazhi finished speaking, she led Ikki and walked towards the elf center.

"But...I still need an elf!"

Ikki pointed to the three pokeballs on his belt, and looked at Nazhi who was holding him, dumbfounded.

Riolu and Kirulian both agreed to help him participate in the competition, otherwise Ikki would not be here at this moment, but even so, there is still one elf missing. At this stage, the only way to do it is to ask Nazi for help.

"I forgot... So let's do this. I'll lend you Casey, and you must make good use of it!"

Nazi took out Casey's elf ball without saying a word, but she was still a little reluctant to let it go.

"Well, I will treat Casey well, but..." Ikki carefully took the elf ball from her hand, but became troubled again, "I still have to trouble you to explain Casey's ability to me. "

When they arrived at the Elf Center, Joey was surprised when he saw Kirulian and Riolu. He didn't expect that this new trainer in Golden City would actually have two elves that were not from this area.But she had no interest in asking about other people's privacy. After registering, she sent them away with a smile.

Guessing that the time was almost up, the two elves came to the lobby screen of the guild hall together, waiting for the announcement of the battle process.

The preliminary round is divided into groups of three, and the competition is divided into six games. Each person has to play against the other two people once. A win is scored as two points, a draw is scored as one point, and there are no points for failure. Players who get three points enter the preliminaries. In other words, at least two players must be eliminated in each group, which is really cruel.

But this is a competition, so Ikki has no complaints. If he loses, he can just continue training. Besides, he has many friends with him, so there is nothing to worry about.

The huge screen installed on the wall lit up at the appointed time, and then the heads of hundreds of people appeared.

Ikki immediately started looking for his opponent, but when he found one, he cried out unconsciously.

"It's actually him!"
