Pokémon: The Journey of Ordinary People

After the opening ceremony, Zhang Yu returned to the venue and prepared to start his own competition draw.

"Ayu, please take your number plate and arrive at the venue 10 minutes before the start of the game~"

The venue was packed with people. Zhang Yu finally got his turn. After taking the sign with number 114 from the staff, he followed the route map to find the venue.

Because of the promotion of Pokémon Network, the number of participants at this year's Quartz Conference was several times higher than in previous years.

In order to ensure the quality of the game, the league has adjusted the rules

在决出256位选手之前，对战规则采用小场地1v1模式，胜者才能参加后续的3v3战斗

Although it is a bit cruel, it also tests the strength of the participating trainers.

After Zhang Yu found his own small arena, he checked his opponent's information in the waiting hall.

His opponent is a student from Yuhong University. It is not known what Pokémon he uses, but he did not obtain the qualification to participate by collecting badges, but by graduating from the Pokémon Research School.

It is worth mentioning that the Quartz Conference is the only Pokémon League Conference that allows contestants to participate in multiple ways.

In addition to Trainers collecting eight gym badges, they can also participate by graduating from Pokémon Research School or passing the Pokémon League test.

The competition officially started at 2 pm when all the contestants got their number plates.

This kind of small venue does not use live broadcasting, but the official will also select some exciting battles to broadcast

Zhang Yu arrived on the field quickly, while his opponent, named Ahong, did not arrive until the bell rang.

"No. 514? There are so many people here."

After taking a look at Hiro's number plate, they both pressed the bell and released their Pokémon.

"Come out, Niu Da!"

"Come out! Eggy!"

Two Pokémon, one big and one small, appeared on the field.

Hiro's expression was a little grim. Was this his first time facing such an opponent? Just looking at his size, you could tell he was terrifyingly strong.

But now that things have come to this, I can only bite the bullet and do it

"Egg, use the seed machine gun!"

beep beep-

Hearing Hiro's words, the six eggs gathered energy at the same time and fired bullets at the Diamondhorn Rhino.

"Niu Da, just to be on the safe side, let's defend ourselves."

Zhang Yu heard the opponent's powerful command and thought it was some super powerful move.

It turned out to be just a seed machine gun. Out of respect, he asked Niu Da to make a shield out of rocks to block Dandan's attack.

Seeing that the attack was useless, Hiro wanted Dandan to use telekinesis.

But the Rhino wouldn't give him this chance. It swung its arm hard and the rock shield flew towards Dandan.

"!"

Before he could even make a sound, his balls were pressed under the rock.

Then the rhinoceros grabbed one of the eggs, pulled it hard, and slid it out.

"Very good, Niu Da, use the windmill!"

"Oooh!"

It had been a long time since Diamondhorn Rhino had such an easy game. He swung his arm around the testicles and spun them in circles.

"Hold on! Balls!"

Hiro tried to use his trainer skills to turn the tide, but unfortunately, Dandan was so dizzy that he couldn't hear him clearly.

Zhang Yu felt that the time was about right, and said to the diamond-horned rhinoceros

"Let's end the fight, Niu Da, arm hammer!"

The Rhinoceros finally let go of the egg whose yolk was almost broken apart and threw it into the air.

When it was about to fall, it smashed its balls with its strong arms, ending the fight.

"...You have done very well..."

After comforting Dandan, Ahong left the stadium disappointed.

Zhang Yu looked at his lonely figure and felt like he had become a villain. [?]

"Oooh!"

Niu Da didn’t think too much. He just knew that he won and would have a big dinner in the evening!

"Okay, okay, you did a great job. I'll reward you tonight~"

Zhang Yu looked at Niu Da who was like a child and encouraged him.

The next battle will have nothing to do with me.

Just wait patiently for others to finish their matches, then you can enter the real battle.

"Please give me another cup of Moo Moo milk, thank you~"

Zhang Yu said to the waiter who just passed by him

As one of the sponsors of the Quartz Conference, Moo Moo Fresh Milk Farm generously provided all-you-can-drink Moo Moo Fresh Milk to the qualified contestants.

Of course, the premise is not to waste

"Hiccup~"

After burping, Zhang Yu placed the cup filled with Moo Moo fresh milk in front of Niu Da.

I slowly savored the steak.

This steak is synthetic meat, but it tastes pretty authentic

At least Zhang Yu can't taste any other flavors

"Thank you, Ayu, but I don't eat beef..."

Porygon Duck rejected the trainer's kindness. As a mechanical Pokémon, it only needs to replenish the free energy in the air.

I can eat some electricity occasionally, but for other foods, the taste module has not been updated yet, so I can't taste the flavor after eating them.

"Okay, then I can only eat it myself..."

After asking around, other Pokémon were not interested in synthetic meat either, so Zhang Yu had no choice but to eat alone.

"Eh? A-Yu!"

A surprised voice sounded in front of Zhang Yu

Gollum—

Zhang Yu swallowed a mouthful of food and raised his head, then opened his eyes wide.

"! Dashan!"

That’s right, the person in front of me is Dashan whom I haven’t seen for almost half a year.

He is much darker than before and looks much more mature.

"I knew it. Ayu, you really came to attend the Quartz Conference!"

“I’m also a contestant~”

Dashan waved his hand, signaling Zhang Yu to continue eating, and sat down opposite him.

"Sure, Dashan, you look a lot stronger. Come on, let's eat and talk. I ordered a lot of food."

Both of them are straightforward people. Dashan was not polite. He picked up a chicken leg and ate it while chatting with Zhang Yu about his experiences.

"Oh my god, Ayu, how come your diamond-horned rhinoceros has grown so big?"

Dashan hadn't noticed Niu Da lying there eating. He thought it was a sofa with a special shape.

"Um... well... it's a long story..."

Zhang Yu scratched his head and slowly told about what he had encountered during his travels.

"...it's so rich..."

“In comparison, I don’t have that much experience.”

"I have been challenging gyms with Savaran, tempering my will, and I have also captured several Pokémon who are willing to become stronger together..."

Dashan chatted for a while, and suddenly remembered something. He and Zhang Yu said curiously

"Um, Ayu, you know, in this competition, I heard that there is a trainer who has Moltres!!"

"?"

"Flame Bird?"

Zhang Yu shook his head. Who is so lucky to be able to capture this kind of Pokémon?

Although the three mythical birds also have a group, and many trainers see them every year, it is more difficult to capture them than to defeat them.

This also led to a huge sensation every time a trainer captured a legendary bird. Last time, Sakaki directly controlled three legendary birds, which shocked everyone on the boat.
