Pokémon: The Climb

The league has a very good grasp on the audience's psychology, and only when everyone's passion begins to dissipate does the host come on stage.

First, there was a carefully prepared opening statement, and then the important alliance members attending the conference were introduced.

It also focuses on the alliance visitors from other regions, namely Kashima and others.

Next is the general history before Carlos, as well as a series of achievements achieved by the alliance after its establishment, including the operation in Salo City.

After that was an exhibition match between the two current Carlos Four Kings.

Perhaps in order to fit in with the alliance conference, the two kings used high-level Pokémon, and because it was an exhibition match, they did not go all out.

But even so, Yang Yan could still see that these two Pokémon were well trained and their combat power would definitely be as good as that of Flame Horse.

The success of the exhibition match between the two kings reignited the atmosphere at the venue.

Taking advantage of this momentum, the host began to announce the entrance of the contestants.

At this time, Yang Yan and the others heard a voice from the broadcast in the contestants area informing them to gather at the venue.

"It's finally starting, I can't wait!" Gao Liu was so excited that he couldn't help himself.

"Soon we will face our first opponent. I hope everyone can win the first match smoothly!" Jiumei expected.

Several people shouted together: "Come on!"

There are more than 4300 contestants. You may not have an accurate idea just by listening, but when everyone is in the center of the venue, everyone can truly feel how huge the number of their opponents is.

Although there were a large number of people, everyone knew what the occasion was, so even without any command, they quickly lined up neatly.

The host gave a general introduction to the contestants of this conference to the audience, and also mentioned that there were people from other regions here.

I don’t know if this was done to arouse the hatred of the Carlos people.

Yang Yan only found out from the host that the exact number of participants was 4388.

After hearing this number, many people began to calculate in their minds.

阳彦的大脑飞速转动：“4388，2194……七轮过后将剩下69人，其中第3、4、5轮将分别有1人好运轮空！”

"And 69 people, this number is quite uncomfortable!"

Only 64 people are required for the main game of the league conference, and this will not change. As for the number of participants every year, it is of course impossible for there to be only 64 people left after the preliminaries.

For the extra people, the league has always dealt with them simply.

That is to randomly select the excess people. These people can choose any one of the remaining 64 people as their opponent. If they defeat the opponent, they can enter the main game.

If you lose, you will naturally go back and forth wherever you go.

比如这次，剩余的69人中会随机挑选出5个人，这5人需要击其余64人中的1个。

At this time, it all depends on luck and your own intelligence gathering ability.

If you are lucky, you will naturally become one of the top 64. If you are unlucky and become a superfluous person, or a challenger selected by a superfluous person, then the importance of intelligence will be highlighted at this time.

The person who is selected needs to know who is lower in strength than him, while the person being challenged has to find a way to make the other party unsure of his own strength.

Therefore, the league conference competition is not only a silent battle on the battlefield, but also off the court. And it started from the moment the first game started.

In addition, the battle method between these people is also different from the 1V1 in the preliminaries, using 2V2.

Because after fighting to this level, all the trainers left behind are good trainers. Considering that unexpected situations may happen in 1V1, and 1V1 always seems to have a feeling of unfinished business, this is why it is designated as 2V2.

而从正赛开始，64进32，32进16以及16进8的比赛，采用的都是3V3的形式。

Starting from the top 8, it will be a 6V6 all-member battle. Because of this, the top 8 games have another name: semi-finals.

Above this, the semi-finals and finals are naturally the semi-finals and the championship and runner-up games.

At this moment, everyone holds their breath and waits for the next "lottery".

The system randomly forms battle combinations of two by two, which has been ridiculed by trainers as a lottery. Because it's really similar.

4388 names and portraits flashed across a huge screen, then turned to the back and began to be randomly arranged and combined.

After about 10 seconds, the first round of battle combinations are determined.

Of course, because there are so many players, one screen cannot fit them all.

But it doesn't matter. At the same time as the system determines it, the battle table has been automatically uploaded to the alliance's official website, and everyone can check it and watch it by themselves.

The way of doing this is also to avoid anyone saying that the alliance will adjust the battle list privately later because everyone did not see it clearly at the first time.

After all, everyone knows that the alliance has a list of seeded players. How could they be willing to let these seeds meet and be eliminated in the preliminaries?

The fairness of the random system has actually been controversial, but for the audience, these are acceptable.

Because if the main match is not as good as the preliminaries, people's complaints will be even more serious.

And this default unspoken rule will only be felt by the contestants as unfair. After all, if the seeded players eliminate a large number of each other, wouldn't other trainers with average strength be able to go further?

So if they can seek fairness, they will definitely try their best.

This comparison table released simultaneously is one of the results of the efforts of countless trainers over the years.

Yang Yan and others did not take out their mobile phones and look down at the match list, because the host was reading out the list of players to appear next based on the match list.

There are 30 battle venues in the conference, so 60 people need to stay in the first round. The names and photos of these 60 people have been displayed on the huge screen. Unless the myopia is particularly severe, they can all be seen clearly.

Yang Yan and the others didn't have anyone's name on it, so they were all walking back to give up the place.

After returning home, everyone began to check which round they would play in which venue.

If the audience wants to watch someone's game, they can click the "Reservation" button on their mobile phones in advance, and when the game starts, a text message notification will be sent to their mobile phones.

It doesn’t matter if you didn’t see the notification or missed it. The alliance also thoughtfully recorded each battle. People can choose the battle of the person they want to watch at any time.

In addition, the alliance has also made several classifications for these battles, such as attributes, names, etc., and ranked them according to popularity.

Make sure you can easily find whatever you want to see.

At this moment, the first round of battle below has begun.

Yang Yan didn't look, but was checking his opponent and the number of battles.

The number of battles required in the first round is 2194, and then divided into 30 battle venues, there will be 73-74 battles in each venue.

"Is it the 15th game on the 20th court?" Yang Yan found his game and looked at his opponent: "The opponent's name is... Bart!"
