Pokémon: System Start.

"If I lose, I can agree to a reasonable request from you!"

Alice put her hands on her hips, looking very confident, as if she was sure that she would not win or lose.

Xiaozhi raised his hand when he saw this, and Alice immediately understood and raised her palms to touch theirs.

"A word is settled!"

"Well, you guys are done talking, right?! As for the Xiaozhi champion, it's time for our competition next, right?"

Mary said in a cold tone as she watched Xiaozhi and Alice slowly put down their hands.

Hearing the voice, everyone looked at Marie who had been following them. Only then did they remember that the girl in front of them seemed to be here to challenge Xiaozhi as well.

"Wasn't that me fighting Xiaozhi first?"

Masamune said, pointing a finger at himself and scratching his head with the other.

"It doesn't matter who comes first! Let's go, Mary! Oh, and by the way, don't call me Champion Ash. Just call me Ash. Champion Ash or something like that sounds weird."

Xiaozhi waved his hand indifferently. In his opinion, it didn't matter who he fought first. After all, he was extremely strong when he was at full power, and there were few trainers in the whole world who could be his match.

"I know, Xiaozhi!"

Mary nodded slightly before turning and heading outside the Pokémon Center, with Ash following suit upon seeing this.

The process was the same as before, submitting the application report for the World Championship Qualifying Match and applying for the battle space at the same time. After a while, a blue light flashed and Xiaozhi and Marie entered the battle space.

Just like before, right after Ash and Marie entered the battle space, their world championship rankings successfully triggered the broadcast of the Battle Tree.

Although there may be a lot of high-level matches as the Masters 8 is approaching, they are exciting enough and very eye-catching.

Just like before, in less than 10 seconds, the audience seats in the battle space were full.

The only difference from the previous times was that this time, 70% of the audience were wearing strange gray-red costumes, with strange iron rings on their wrists and ankles, oil paint on their faces, and a big black X on their noses!

Moreover, there are both men and women among them, and they are obviously members of an organization. Their strange costumes give people the feeling that they are a villain organization.

But the men were holding cheerleading sticks, and the women were always holding banners with Mary printed on them, and they were constantly shouting to cheer for Mary, just like a cheerleading squad!

But we have to say that Mari has a sweet and lovely appearance, and girls like Mei, Toruko and Serena, after getting along with Mari before, also developed a liking for her and liked her very much. No wonder she has so many crazy supporters!

"Come on! Mary! Come on! Mary! We will win! Come on Mary, charge forward! Our cheering team will always be with you!..."

"Oh my god! There are too many fans! I think I've seen this scene somewhere before!"

Listening to the deafening cheers echoing in the audience seats, Xiaoxia felt very familiar and yet strange.

"When Xiaozhi participated in the Quartz Conference, he met Miss Xunzi from the Girl Town in the fourth round. Her cheering group was the same as the current Shouting Team. The only difference was that the Shouting Team had a uniform uniform, while the other one did not."

Xiaogang crossed his arms and said calmly.

"The Quartz Conference, that happened several years ago! Xiaogang, how can you remember it so clearly?"

Masamune was surprised. After all, according to the order in which Xiaozhi participated in the League Conference, the Quartz League Conference was five or six years ago. Such a long time had passed, and Masamune was aware that unless it was an extremely unforgettable event, he would definitely not be able to remember it.

"Hahaha, where is it!"

Xiaogang scratched his head, looking embarrassed, but Xiaoxia next to him couldn't help it and chose to ruin his show.

"He has a good memory, especially when it comes to the girl town where Kaoru is a beautiful woman. This bastard even betrayed us and stopped cheering for Xiaozhi and went to cheer for the other team."

The other people were immediately ashamed. After all, based on their understanding of Xiaogang, the other party would really do this. The other party could even remember the slight differences between Miss Junsha and Miss Joey in different regions, and could even tell where they were from.

"This match is a world championship high-level match. The two sides are the 20th-ranked Alola League champion, Xiaozhi, and the 34th-ranked Marie from Galar's Spike Town. The match adopts a 3v3 battle mode. The match ends when all three Pokémon on one side lose their combat ability! At the same time, in this match, you can only choose one of the three battle systems: Mega Evolution, Dynamax, and Z-Move, and you can only use it once at a time!"

"Hey, that's weird?! No. 20, didn't Xiaozhi win the battle with Alan before?! He should get a lot of points, and his ranking should also rise, right?!"

"Yeah! What's going on? Why is Xiaozhi still ranked 20th?"

Hearing the referee Rotom announce Satoshi's current ranking, Masamune, Tamaki, Brock, Misty and others were immediately confused.

After all, according to their understanding, there are two ways to move up in the rankings of the World Championship. The first is to participate in the Super Games and Elf Games before the Advanced Games, and rely on winning streaks to accumulate points and get to the Advanced Games step by step.

Then the second type will appear, that is, the qualifying match replacement. As the name suggests, in high-level football matches, the lower-ranked players play against the higher-ranked players. If the lower-ranked player wins, he will directly inherit the higher-ranked position, while the original high-ranked player will be demoted one level.

Just like Shinji, who was originally ranked 20th, but after losing to Satoshi and Alice, he jumped two levels to 22nd. At the same time, even Marie, who was originally a little higher level than Satoshi and Alice, was affected and dropped from 32nd to 34th.

If the one with a higher ranking wins, the one with a lower ranking will increase points. If the one with a higher ranking has more points than the previous person, he or she will be directly promoted to the next level.

For example, Xiaozhi's points, after defeating Alan, and given that Xiaozhi has been on a winning streak in the World Championship qualifying matches, the points he earned should at least be able to move him up one place.

"That's because the points of the 19th-placed player are too high. Actually, you may not know this, but the higher you rank in the World Championship, the greater the points gap will be, so there will be a position swap like you know. Otherwise, like the previous point swap, you may have to win dozens of games in a row to move up a level..."
