I got the Pokémon

Chapter 432 The Great Priest

The venue for the Whirlpool Island Cup Competition is different from the qualifying competition. It is a huge circular water arena with a strong ancient Greek style. Every brick and stone in it has been in existence for an unknown number of years, and it looks full of history.

The arena can accommodate 2 spectators at the same time. Its center is fluid sea water, and above the sea water, there are more than a dozen stone pillars of different sizes and heights for trainers and Pokémon to stand on.

Compared with the perfunctory preliminaries, the opening ceremony of the main competition has undoubtedly improved a lot. Not only are the fireworks and guns going off, but also an elegant and beautiful female priest holding a scepter is presiding over the competition!
At [-] o'clock in the morning, the entire stadium was full of seats, and countless spectators had been waiting here early, looking forward to it.

Xia You, Xiaozhi, Xiaoxia, and 61 other contestants sailed into the stadium from the sea in more than a dozen narrow and long wooden boats. Stand up straight and try to show your energetic side to the audience.

Looking at these contestants, the audience gave great applause and cheers.

It was in such an atmosphere that the thick and clear voice of the male host began to echo over the arena, which also meant that the opening ceremony had officially begun!
"Everyone, please watch! These are the players who have passed the qualifiers every three years and aim to be the Hero of the Sea! Since ancient times, the Whirlpool Islands have had an independent culture and civilization. We worship water Pokémon and work together with them. It has survived until now! This culture has not disappeared and continues to be passed down by Miss Maya, the sea priestess who has protected the tradition since ancient times!"

What the host said, in fact, it wasn't until last night that Xia You realized that the Whirlpool Archipelago Cup was not just a Pokémon competition, but also to select a brave man of the sea according to the tradition since ancient times. In this ceremony!
Listening to the host's introduction, Xia You couldn't help but turned to look at the officiant stage in the distance again.

Because the distance was not very far, he could see clearly that the female priest was wearing a blue dress, holding a golden scepter in her hand, and her long purple hair was fluttering gently in the wind. It is already very elegant and elegant.

However, Xia You had already experienced this kind of ceremony once on the Asian Island of the Orange Islands, and also met the festival girl there, so she was not too unfamiliar with such a gimmick.

It's just a form, he thought.

Seeing Xia You turn his head, Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia who were beside him couldn't help but follow his gaze, and also saw the great priest.

Xiaoxia put her hands on her cheeks and was extremely envious: "So beautiful!"

Xia You didn't know whether she was envious of the high priest's temperament, or the high priest's attention, or something else.

The great priest is indeed very beautiful, but Xiaoxia has always considered herself the most beautiful girl in the world, so she is not an ugly duckling. She is still young and hasn't fully grown up yet. If she reaches the same age, Xia You will believe that She certainly wasn't much worse.

At this time, the host said again: "Well, now we invite the priest, Miss Maya, to make a declaration for the conference!"

In his words, the great priest took a step forward. She raised her scepter and said loudly: "Everyone, the three-year water Pokémon celebration has begun. On behalf of the Whirlpool Islands, I welcome everyone. ! Here, we live together with the water Pokémon. Those who control the sea and Pokémon have been praised as the braves of the sea since ancient times, and every sea brave will receive the "Soul of the Sea" Blessing! Being given the ability to communicate with all water Pokémon!!"

The soul of the sea?Empathy?
Xia You's eyes couldn't help but shifted to the scepter in the priest's hand.

The scepter was made of pure gold and shone with golden brilliance under the sunlight. There was a fist-sized round blue gemstone at the top. The gemstone exuded blue light and looked like it was not a common thing. "Then, I wish all the players good results, and then accept the blessings of the soul of the sea!"

As the great priest held up the scepter, the soul of the sea burst out with brilliant light. The light was soft and not glaring, covering the entire stadium!

Including Xia You, when they saw such a person for the first time, they all showed surprise.

Is this the soul of the sea...

The light shone on Xia You and reflected everyone in light blue. Although there was no other effect, Xia You couldn't tell whether the light was a stage effect or whether this blue gem really had some magic. The magic!

After all, this world is not normal, even if there are some blessings and the like, it is not surprising.

At least judging from the more excited and fanatical reactions of the audience, they seemed to really feel that the players in the field had become a little different at this moment!
Behind him, Xiaozhi raised his hands, looked at the blue light on his hands, and murmured: "Have we really been blessed?"

"Are you an idiot?" Xiaoxia next to him couldn't help but roll her eyes at him, "Didn't the priest just say that only the last brave man of the sea will be blessed? This light now is just showing off the gem. It’s just your ability!”

"Ah? Is that so?" Xiaozhi finally understood the rules completely. He sighed in disappointment, "What? Although I like the name of the Brave of the Sea very much, this kind of thing is just a false name. If I win in the end, If you lose the game, doesn’t it mean you have nothing?”

Xiaoxia sighed helplessly: "Please, did you read the process before the game? After the finals, the winner will not only receive the title of brave, but also receive generous bonuses, and even a mysterious water drop! It’s a real reward, but... humph, this kind of thing is destined to have nothing to do with you, and the one who wins the final victory will definitely be Brother Xia You!”

Xiaoxia is the steadfast Xia Chui, but she will support Xia You without hesitation in any competition or battle that Xia You participates in!

As for Xiaoxia bragging about herself so frantically, Xia You could only shake her head with a smile.

But he didn't stop her. After all, this is his goal. Since he participated, his goal is to be the champion. If he doesn't want to win the competition, then what kind of trainer is he?

Although he also knew that Xia You was very powerful, Xiaozhi was naturally dissatisfied with Xiaoxia's disparagement of herself and angrily argued with Xiaoxia.

Listening to the fight between the two behind, Xia You couldn't help but think of that mysterious drop of water.

Just like Xiaoxia said, in addition to the prize money, the winner will also get a mysterious water drop, which is a kind of magical stone. After wearing it, it can strengthen the power of Pokémon's water-type moves. It is indeed a good idea. thing!
