Digimon Journey in the Spirit World

To the north of Shuanglong City, in a lush ancient forest.

A Venusaur as tall as a house lay on the ground, drawing the power of nature with every breath.

The trees swayed, rocking and rustling with Bulbasaur's breathing.

The shade of the trees was dim, and the sunlight was scattered, making Shen Yu, who was lying on the grass, feel warm.

Dots of green fluorescence danced like fireflies and flowed into the flowers on its back.

Next to Venusaur, there is a shuttlecock cotton floating, floating up and down, absorbing the energy pulled by Venusaur.

Parasaurolophus, Leafeon and other Pokémon were also lying quietly beside Bulbasaur, absorbing energy while sleeping.

"Dana."

Bulbasaur stretched out its whip and gently touched Shen Yu to wake her up.

"Hmm? What's wrong, Venusaur?"

Shen Yu, who was sleeping comfortably, was woken up. She was a little reluctant to get up. She wanted to sleep for a while longer on the slightly cool grass.

Hmm? It's cold?

Shen Yu opened his sleepy eyes and found that it had darkened without him noticing.

The grass, which was originally somewhat warmed by the sun, had its last bit of warmth blown away by the wind, leaving behind only the coolness that made people want to put on more clothes.

"Ha~ I didn't expect to sleep for so long."

Shen Yu stretched lazily, and she didn't feel the coldness of the ground.

She was seen stretching her arms and waist, with a mark growing like a tree branch on her exposed arms, emitting a faint fluorescent light.

"Let's go back to Shuanglong City to rest and prepare for the competition!"

"Da Na..."

"Huh?! What do you mean, Bulbasaur? You said that I didn't train at all and slept in every day. It's you who are tired, not me?!"

“Da na! Da na da na…”

"I'm sorry you don't dare either."

……

“Swoosh~Bang!!”

Bunches of fireworks exploded into the sky, and bright and beautiful fireworks fell across the sky.

Today is the opening ceremony of the Higaki Tournament in Higaki City, and the first round of eliminations of the preliminaries will also begin.

Trainers from all over the place are ready to go. Due to the large number of people, a round of elimination will be held today to decide the 128 contestants who will participate in the second round of official preliminaries.

In the west of Higaki City, Wang Dong, wearing a black mask and shrouded in darkness as always, stepped into the city.

From the north, Shen Yu walked in holding Ye Yibu.

A handsome man walked in from the east with his chest crossed, his eyes full of arrogance and disdain.

"Humph, the four-year period is up. Now that I win the championship, it's my turn to challenge you, brother."

……

south.

Bai Di walked into Higaki City holding the weak and curious Vulpix as if taking a walk.

During the tournament, Higaki City was more lively than ever.

Both sides of the road were filled with stalls early in the morning, selling breakfast, clothes, and elf supplies.

What's worse, some people set up stalls to sell players' peripheral products.

Bai Di followed the flow of people and squeezed to the front. The small cart was filled with various small figures. Most trainers only had one or two figures, while the trainers on the upper level each had four or five forms.

"Wow, this slut with a cold face, could it be Wang Dong? Tsk tsk tsk, she can actually pose like this, do they have a good imagination, or are you really a slut?"

In the upper left corner, Bai Yi saw the conspicuous figure of Wang Dong, a cold-faced man in a black robe. The other figures were okay, as they did capture his handsome appearance, but what the hell was this last figure with one hand on the waist and the other pointing to the sky?

The expression is still smiling so...ahem.

"This is Shen Yu, right? This should be the Alice that Mr. Cong mentioned... this..."

In total, there are five candidates who are considered to be the favorites.

Wang Dong, Alice, Shen Yu, the girl with white hair, and the tall sister with a baby face.

"Tsk tsk tsk, this shouldn't be the case, why am I not here?"

Bai Yu said something flattering and then left the fun.

He hadn't been seen for several months, so it was normal that not many people remembered him.

……

"Hello, this is your number plate, please keep it. This is the contestant lounge, please pay attention to the information on the screen."

"OK, thanks."

After simply registering his name and elf information, Bai Yi took his number 17 card, turned left and right, and walked into a large lounge.

There were too many people in the elimination rounds, and the official did not arrange a separate lounge. Basically, there were only a dozen or twenty people in a room, and only after most of the people were eliminated could they enter a separate lounge.

"Ha~ I'm so sleepy. Why do I feel like sleeping as soon as I sit down?"

Ignoring the other trainers in the lounge who were looking through the player information, rubbing their hands with fierce looks, Bai Di found a recliner in the corner and fell asleep.

Bai Yi is not arrogant and does not think that he is absolutely suppressed and invincible in this conference.

It's just that he is like that, lazy and casual.

Instead of wasting time studying the opponent's strength and corresponding countermeasures, it is better to take a nap. Anyway, Gengar is watching the screen information.

"What good luck! My first opponent is actually from the same lounge, kid."

Next to the water dispenser, a big guy grinned, stared at the smaller guy who was also drinking water with beast-like eyes, and chuckled.

"..."

The other guy was a handsome and fair-skinned boy wearing thick glasses. His expression was as innocent as it could be.

He looked at the ferocious uncle in front of him, pushed his glasses silently, walked back to his seat with the cup of water, and took a sip of hot water.

Water vapor covered his lenses, and no one knew what he felt. Perhaps they all thought that this innocent little boy was scared.

Only Bai Yu, who had been sleeping, raised his eyelids slightly and glanced at the boy out of the corner of his eye.

The space of the Higaki Conference is very large, and eight tall arenas have been set up, corresponding to eight different attributes and environments.

This means that there are eight groups of sixteen people appearing at the same time.

The man with glasses and the muscular uncle are facing off in the forest arena representing the grass attribute.

On two high platforms, the man with glasses and the uncle stood facing each other, with a tall and dense forest below them.

The grass-attribute battlefield is divided by a stream, with tall trees on the left and bushes and grass on the right.

It's all green as far as the eye can see.

"Beep! The grass attribute competition begins. Both teams please send out their first Pokémon."

The first round of eliminations was decided by a single elf.

Everyone only has one chance!

"Go! Nidoking!"

The uncle threw the Poké Ball high up and summoned out Nidoking, who was as ferocious and brutal as he was.

"..."

The man with glasses still didn't speak, or maybe he spoke too softly and no one heard him. All they could see was a red light flashing by and a Scorpio King floating in the air.

"Nidoking vs. Scorpion King! The battle begins!"

"Nidoking! Catch that little guy and smash him to pieces!"

As soon as the referee finished speaking, the uncle laughed grimly and ordered Nidoking to attack!

"Nido!"

There was also a red light flashing in Nidoking's eyes, and its ferocity and madness were not concealed at all. It wanted to kill its opponent!
