Elves: Angler's Rainy Day Team

Chapter 531: Favorite to Win
The fifty-first day of traveling to the Kanto region was cloudy.

It finally stopped raining today, so we all came out to have breakfast together. It was also the last time we had breakfast outdoors.

Next, Toxopus and the others had to stay in the room. After everyone had breakfast, their Poké Balls were taken back.

Ukai left only Eevee and Toussaint outside, packed up the camping equipment, and set off again.

We are going up the mountain today, so we won’t ride Niu Niu. The competition will start soon, and Niu Niu is still his group match elf, so let Niu Niu rest for two days.

Today we will go up the mountain on a whooping gull. It takes a whole day to climb the mountain, but the whooping gull only needs to fly over a few hills to reach the Quartz Sports Field, which is quite fast.

"Beili, beili," Gull was quite looking forward to the competition. He heard that there would be many trainers participating, and more than 100,000 spectators watching the competition on site, and even more viewers in front of the TV. The Pokémon Competition is the highest-rated TV program in the Pokémon world.

"Let's go, big-mouthed gull. We'll reach the top of the mountain soon," Yu Hai patted the big-mouthed gull's mouth and let it set off.

After flying for just over an hour, they arrived at the Quartz Sports Field on the top of the mountain. It was summer here, and there was lush greenery everywhere. When he flew up, he saw many trainers like him, riding Flying-Type Pokémon up the mountain.

Even if you don't ride a flying Pokémon, there is a winding mountain road that leads up, and a cable car connecting the mountain to the bottom, so you can also take it to the top of the mountain.

When he arrived at the Quartz Stadium, he first reported to the Athletes Village, took out his Pokémon Encyclopedia and badge to register his identity, and only then could he enter the Athletes Village to stay and wait for the Quartz Competition to begin.

The athletes' village is divided into multi-person rooms and single rooms, in two different buildings for athletes. If you are traveling with a partner, you will be arranged to live in a multi-person room. If you are alone, you can only live in a single room.

Of course, if you don’t want to stay in the players’ village, you can also stay in a hotel outside. Koji and the others will definitely stay in a hotel. There is no need to look at this. The second-generation trainer brings bodyguards with him, so it is more convenient for him to stay in a hotel.

Xiaoying will follow Shiba, and there will be a room specially provided for the king to rest, and she will not live in the athletes' village, provided that Shiba will also come.

Only those who are alone, or those like Xiaozhi who have partners, will come to the players' village for free food and accommodation until the end of the Quartz Conference.

After he registered his identity information and took his room key, when he was looking for the door, he happened to bump into Xiao Ming going out. He didn't expect the other party to come so early, and he just happened to be looking for him.

"Oh, so early?" Yu Hai found that his single room was right next to Xiao Ming's single room. What a coincidence.

"I just arrived. You came early too," Xiao Ming said to Yu Hai. He didn't expect that they would meet again so soon. He suggested to Yu Hai, "Do you want to have lunch together?"

"Okay," Yu Hai tried the room key and when he found that it could open the door, he closed the door and left with Xiao Ming.

He didn't have anything to leave behind, so he must have kept all his valuables with him. It was not safe to leave them in a single room, and he wouldn't even know if they were stolen.

"I just happened to ask you something. Can your Pokémon change into a round shape? Can you teach my Forritos..." "My Sandslash and Rhydon can do it. Just find an open space after lunch to learn. They are all basic moves," Xiao Ming agreed easily. After all, the move of changing into a round shape is really common.

"By the way, have you collected information about the contestants of this Quartz Conference? Give me a copy," Yu Hai planned to get it for free. It would be too tiring to collect it by himself. Yu likes to get it for free.

"Okay, I can't beat you anyway, so it's okay to give you one copy," Xiao Ming saw that Yu Hai wanted it, so it was okay to share it with him. Compared with the temptation of the King of Heaven, it was just the information of a contestant, not a valuable thing.

Arriving at the cafeteria for lunch, Yu Hai and Xiao Ming got their lunch and sat in a corner. Xiao Ming looked over at the trainers who were having lunch and introduced the popular contestants to Yu Hai.

"Do you see the short-haired guy wearing green clothes over there? His name is Kaixiong. He is a veteran from the previous session and a trainer who lives by the sea. Most of his Pokémon are water-type Pokémon. His trump card is a Gyarados, followed by Golduck and Nidoqueen. There are also Venomoustide, Vaporeon, Seaspider and other Pokémon..."

"And the green-haired guy wearing a red jacket over there, his name is Yusheng, he is also a veteran from the previous session. His trump card is a Bulbasaur, and there is also a Pidgeot that is also very strong. Next are Scyther, Sandslash, Flying Legs, and Rhyno..."

"And the eldest brother of the two brothers, his name is Lei Si. He is considered the favorite to win this year's Quartz Conference. He got the top three in the previous two years. I don't know why he came to participate in the Quartz Conference again..."

"The opponent's trump card in the past two years was a Tortoise. I heard that the Electric Beast was defeated some time ago and is no longer considered a trump card. But this person has a quasi-god Garchomp and has emerged as a dark horse. The eight gym badges required for the competition were all pierced by that person with a Garchomp..."

"Grimoire? Not Gargoyle?" Yu Hai had this question because Lei Si's Gargoyle was killed instantly by a single punch from the Poliwag.

But now that it has evolved, Garchomp is at least a level 50 Pokémon, so it would be difficult to kill it with one punch.

Is this human language? If Xiao Ming could hear Yu Hai's inner voice, he would definitely roll his eyes. He's a quasi-god, and he actually wants to use a mosquito-repellent frog to kill a quasi-god in seconds. I'm afraid he hasn't woken up yet.

"It just evolved a while ago. I heard that it suffered a crushing defeat in Crimson City. It was because of that defeat that it evolved into Gargoyle in order to avenge its defeat in the tournament..."

"Ahem," Yu Hai almost spit out his rice when he heard this. It turned out that the Sharptooth Land Shark evolved in order to seek revenge. It turned out that it was all his fault.

A quasi-god was defeated by the mosquito-coated frog, so Land Shark with Sharp Tooth would not accept it either. If he had known, he would not have let the mosquito-coated frog kill Land Shark in seconds, and let the god teach the other party a lesson. What a sin!
"You...what's wrong?" Xiao Ming saw that Yu Hai didn't look at Lei Si, and his eyes avoided when Lei Si was mentioned. Could it be that the two of them had some grudge against each other?

"Nothing, just continue," Yu Hai waved his hand gently, letting Xiao Ming continue. He would not remind the other party that he was the culprit for Lei Si's disastrous defeat in Qianhong City.

"That green-haired boy is called Jimu. His trump card is a Rhydon. Most of his Pokémon are ground and rock-type. He is a potential rookie and a very powerful boy..."

"And the boy in the hat sitting with the orange-haired girl and the squinty-eyed man, his name is Xiaozhi, and he's the rookie this time..."

"And the red-haired boy wearing a hat over there is called Hiro, the brown-haired boy is called Xiao Mao, and the blue-haired girl is called Lily. They are all rookies of this year's competition and have the potential to advance to the knockout rounds and the top 16 of the tournament..."
