Pokémon: The Climb

"Looks like our first place is finally here!"

Because Takajira was facing that way, he noticed the girl's arrival immediately.

Bai Xuan smiled and bowed slightly to show respect.

Dongchuan also turned around at this time, and he smiled much more happily this time than when he saw Yang Yan.

"Bai Xuan, if I remember correctly, this is your name now, right?" Dongchuan walked up to the girl Bai Xuan: "It's amazing to get first place. It brings honor to your family and your father!"

Bai Xuan didn't feel disrespectful in any way when she heard the praise. She still had that plain and gentle smile on her face, showing her good upbringing.

"You deserve the prize. I was just lucky enough to get the first place. There may be people over there who are better than me, but they just lacked a little bit of luck."

"Haha," Dongchuan said bluntly: "Bai Xuan, it's okay to be humble, but if you are too modest, others will think you are deliberately looking down on them. After all, the final result is there, and a little luck can't make up for it. .”

When he heard Bai Xuan's words, Yang Yan noticed that the people over there were indeed a little unhappy, but Dongchuan's straightforward words were obviously right. They and the first place seemed to be on a different level. same people.

Not even first place.

The further they go in the top 10, the worse they fall.

阳彦这第10名与白绚这个第1名，大概差了个3、4层？5、6层？……反正差得挺远就是了。

He may care about Bai Xuan, but he will not regard her as an opponent or a target to pursue.

Life is long and the future is far away.

Move forward in a down-to-earth manner, and when you reach the final destination, if you don't regret it, you will be able to face anyone and anything with a smile.

By then, those who once walked in front of him may not still be in front of him.

But before that, he needs to always remind himself that he cannot stop and needs to keep moving forward!

Bai Xuan's arrival has an advantage for Yang Yan, that is, it attracts the attention of others, especially the challengers below.

Whether it was because of Dongchuan's conversation with Bai Xuan or simply because of the beauty of Bai Xuan, Yang Yan was no longer so eye-catching.

Gao Si looked over there with a smile, but he did not step forward to interrupt.

The first is that he is not familiar with Bai Xuan, and the second is that by staying where he is, he can better observe the reactions of Yang Yan and even the other testers.

Yang Yan didn't care about Gao Si. He thought it was just right. He could take the opportunity to retreat not far away from the trialists and gradually eliminate his sense of existence.

Soon after, two more girls arrived one after another.

However, neither Dongchuan nor Takadera just nodded to them without saying a word.

At this point, the top 10 have all arrived.

At this time, a member of the alliance stepped forward and whispered a few words in Dongchuan's ear, and Dongchuan ended the conversation with Bai Xuan.

He asked Bai Xuan to go to where Yang Yan and the others were, and asked them to stand in order according to their respective rankings.

Then he walked to the front, picked up the microphone, and started the business of the day.

The opening, of course, is an extremely boring passage.

A series of nonsense like thanking you for your active participation, saying that the alliance noticed your hard work in the trial, congratulating you on qualifying for the challenge, etc.

It took a full hour to finish.

This is normal. After all, a leader who doesn’t talk nonsense is not a good leader.

Everyone understands.

They can endure all this in order to know the rules of the challenge.

After the nonsense was over, Dongchuan motioned to Takadera on the side to announce the rules.

As a leader, you just have to say the opening and closing remarks. As for the specific work, of course, it is done by your subordinates.

Otherwise, where is the dignity of leadership?

Takadera explained the rules.

Very simple, not complicated.

Because of the limited number of places, they need to select 10 people first, and only these 10 people have the qualifications to challenge the top 10.

The reason why there are 10 people, Takadera explained clearly, the alliance only needs 10 people, and even if all the current top 10 are defeated, only 10 of them can grab the spot.

On the one hand, this is to reduce the number of challengers Yang Yan and others need to face and maintain the most basic honor of the top 10.

On the other hand, it is to select the 10 people who are truly the strongest in battle.

Regardless of whether these people get the ranking in the end, it is enough to prove that they are superior to most of their peers in the battle, and the alliance will also provide some help for their growth in the future.

After all, there is never too much talent for the league.

As for how they decide the top 10.

Takadera gave a fairer approach.

A total of 106 people are qualified to challenge.

Each of them has at least two Pokémon, so as soon as the game starts, they need to conduct two consecutive 1v1s to determine the top 28.

Of course, after the end of the first game, one person will be lucky enough to enter the next round, which goes without saying.

These 28 people will compete in a 2v2 game to determine 14 people.

For the sake of fairness, the points system will be used in subsequent competitions.

That is to say, each of them needs to play one game with 1 other people.

A win is worth 1 point, a tie is worth 0 points, and a loss is worth 1 point.

From this the top 10 were selected.

If the person ranked 10th in the end has the same score as the person behind him, then their respective wins and losses will be compared, and whoever wins will be ranked 10th. If it is a tie, then there will be an extra game until the winner is decided.

This can basically ensure that the 10 people selected are indeed the ones with the strongest fighting ability among them.

At that time, they can challenge Yang Yan and others.

However, everyone only has one challenge opportunity, and each of the current top 10 will only accept challenges from 3 people at most.

Judging from the information displayed in the rankings, except for the 8th, 9th, and 10th who only have two Pokémon, everyone else has at least three Pokémon.

So obviously, these 3 people are definitely the easiest to deal with.

The league certainly thought of this scenario.

Therefore, they are limited to playing only 3 games.

Of course, in fact, the gap between Yang Yan and the top two is not big, and their ranking is not a ranking of combat power, so whoever challenges them is actually the same, and they may not necessarily all focus on Yang Yan, the 10th place .

However, in order to avoid the unfairness caused by this situation, the alliance stopped it in advance.

As for the last remaining person.

He does not necessarily need to challenge the top 7 people, because if someone succeeds in the challenge, then they can challenge the successful person.

But here again comes the question of who challenges first and who challenges last.

In order to avoid trouble, the alliance finally decided to draw lots.

It will then depend on their respective luck.
