Pokémon Beyond Mountains and Seas

Chapter 39 The second round of knockout begins

"How can you be so embarrassed to say this after following Sakaki Ting and Yu Qi in the first round?" said a boy standing not far away.

"Zhang Zhang, what does it have to do with you?" Ban Muting looked over and said unhappily.

"Oh, it's none of my business. I just think that if you don't have any strength, you will just hang out with people who are good. What's the use?" said the boy named Zhang Zhang.

"Then shut up. Don't think it's important that you're in front of me." Sakaki Ting looked like she was going to fight.

"Let's see if you can ensure that he enters the second round of promotion." Zhang Zhang turned and left.

"Who is he?" Yu Shanhai asked.

"He is the 25th-ranked guy on the freshmen list. I was defeated by him and stopped in the top 16 in the Johto League before." Sakaki Ting said.

"Zhang Zhang is also the highest-ranked trainer under the age of 18 under Lin Baiyi. The previous 25 trainers, except Lin Baiyi, were all trainers over the age of 19." You Qi added to Sakaki Ting's words.

"Very strong, right?" Yu Shanhai asked.

"Yeah. By the way, there was Lin Baiyi in the first knockout round of the Youth Cup Dead Leaf Division. Lin Baiyi advanced to the first round of knockout with No. 1. We have seen it. He is too strong. Everyone else is It took him three days to complete the collection task, and he completed it in one day," You Qi said.

"There are also powerful players in the first round of the knockout round in Yuhong City. A girl named Huang who is ranked 27th on the freshman rankings is also there. The first round of the knockout round in Qianhong City also started the day before yesterday. The end time of our game is the same as that of Qianhong City. The end time of the first round of the red market is the same," Sakaki Ting said.

"Have you seen people named Ban Muting and Yaxu?" Yu Shanhai asked.

"What's wrong?" Ban Muting was confused.

"I didn't see it." You Qi said.

"Oh, they came to the Kanto area with me, but because I had something to do, I separated from them." Yu Shanhai explained.

"Oh, will they also participate in the Youth Cup?" Sakaki Ting asked.

"Probably." Yu Shanhai was not sure either.

"Okay, Shanhai can come with us during the competition." Sakaki Ting said.

"Okay." You Qi said with a smile, and Sakaki Ting said "we" instead of "I".

"Yes." Yu Shanhai thought about what Zhang Zhang had just said and hesitated, but still nodded.

"I'll be your backup, come on." Bai Wanli finally intervened.

"Sorry to trouble you, Wan Li." Yu Shanhai said.

"No, no." Bai Wanli shook his head quickly.

"Why doesn't my little brother participate in the Youth Cup?" Sakaki Ting asked.

"I'm not interested in Pokémon battles. I want to be a Pokémon researcher." Bai Wanli said confidently.

"That's it, then we'll leave our Pokémon to you." Sakaki Ting said.

"Okay, keep it with me." Bai Wanli nodded.

Early the next morning, 86 trainers gathered at the starting point.

"Welcome to Twin Islands. I think everyone understands the rules of the competition. Don't break the rules. Many cameras have been installed on the island. You are not allowed to use props and equipment to complete collection tasks. After confirmation, everyone goes to the referee's office to receive a After getting a map and a collection box, you can set off,” the host said.

"Have you got the map?" Ban Muting asked.

"Get it." Yu Shanhai said.

"Then let's go." Ban Muting, Yu Shanhai, and You Qi set off from the starting point.

"Wind Speed ​​Dog, Nine Tails, come out. Everyone, come up." You Qi released the Pokémon first. You Qi and Yu Shanhai sat on the back of Wind Speed ​​Dog, while Sakaki Ting sat on Nine Tails' back, heading all the way to the first one on the map. Go to Bingting Lake where the location is.

Bingting Lake is located on the right side of the mountains on the right side of Twin Islands. The surrounding area is very cold, covered with ice and snow, and the lake is frozen all year round.

"There are no rules in the competition. We have to be careful about others grabbing the seals. Only the top 32 will advance. The most difficult of these five places is the seals on the two mountain tops. Flying Pokémon are not allowed to be used so that it is not easy for us to get them. Two seals to reach the top of the mountain." Ban Muting analyzed.

"First go to the nearest Bingting Lake to get the seal. Then we will go directly to the mountain on the right to get the seal. The seals at Bingting Lake and Ice and Snow Forest are the easiest to get. Everyone will go to these two places at the beginning, but the two on the mountain peak It’s not easy to get, so there will definitely be strong people squatting down below. We will consume a lot of energy going up and down the mountain. If we can’t beat it then we will have to deliver express, so we took the seal of Bingting Lake and went to the two peaks first. "You Qi said.

"Okay." Yu Shanhai suddenly realized

We got closer and soon arrived at Bingting Lake. Bingting Lake is located on a plain, and the surrounding vegetation is covered with snow. There is a device in the center of Bingting Lake. It is made of iron below and glass cover above. It looks icy. The Tinghu seal is on it.

"Here comes someone. Don't rush. Is the seal so easy to get?" You Qi thought.

"The ice on the lake is not strong!" Yu Shanhai could only think of this. There was no blocking vegetation around, so the organizers could not set up a trap.

"Sure enough!" Yu Shanhai watched as several impulsive trainers stepped onto the lake. After half a minute, the thin ice on the lake shattered, and those trainers all fell in.

"It's my turn. Come out, sickle helmet, spiny ammonite beast!" Sakaki Ting said.

"I'll get it, you guys wait for me. Spiny Ammonite Beast, surf!" Sakaki Ting stood on Sickle Helmet's head. Spiny Ammonite Beast surfed on the ice to create a water channel, and Sickle Helmet swam through the channel. past.

"I got it!" Banmuting opened the glass cover, only to find that there were only 32 seals inside. She took three of them and swam back with her sickle helmet.

"Here." Ban Muting gave You Qi and Yu Shanhai a seal respectively.

"Thank you, Sister Tingting." Yu Shanhai said.

"Don't talk about that. By the way, there are only 32 seals in it. It seems that at most 32 trainers will advance." Sakaki Ting said.

"Since Sister Tingting can take three, she can take them all. Will anyone do this in other places?" Yu Shanhai asked.

"That's right!" Ban Muting's eyes lit up.

"You can go and get them all so that you can exchange them with others. Now we are the only ones who have the Bingtinghu seal." You Qi said.

"Yeah, just to be on the safe side." Banmuting agreed with You Qi's statement.

But during this conversation, more than ten people had already gone over to get the seals.

"I'll go so they don't know what we're going to do." You Qi said.

"Okay." Banmuting nodded, and Yuqi rode the sickle helmet over to take away the remaining 15 seals.

"Let's go to the top of the mountain first." Yu Shanhai felt that this was not a good idea, but he was not the only one to think of this method. If others did the same, then there would be no bargaining chips, so he naturally did not refute.
