Devouring the Stars: Pokédex

Chapter 263 The Competition Begins

"Whatever you think, instead of asking me, why not ask your Patriarch yourself?" Yun Yi shrugged.

He didn't have the heart to worry about this, he was more interested in the upcoming competition.

This feeling is like the feeling that a king suddenly broke into a bronze event and was about to watch the group of bronze performers.

Yun Yi is still looking forward to this.

You know, when he was still in bronze, he never had this kind of experience.

Now that I have the opportunity to see it, it would be a lie to say that I am not curious.

"Forget it, I might as well ask the God of Death directly if I ask the Patriarch."

"Hahaha, why don't the Patriarch kill you?"

Cross and Bartello muttered a few more words, seeing that Yun Yi had no intention of discussing this matter at all, so they simply turned their attention to the draw below.

The lottery method is relatively traditional, that is, the heads of dozens of families line up and draw lots together. Each family has its own number, and the target drawn will become the opponent in today's first match.

The people in front are drawing lots, while those in the queue are greeting each other.

Apart from good relationships, most of the families in the city seldom meet each other, so the annual family competition allows them to get together and chat.

Some have a good relationship with each other, and they talk about old things.

Some greeted each other because of the grievances in the game two years ago or many years ago.

And Syndra happened to meet Labrador again, and saw Labrador whispering beside Syndra arrogantly.

Even the appearance of moving his hands and feet immediately aroused the anger of Batllo and others.

Fortunately, when the Labrador was about to go too far, the enchanting man stopped him.

"Please show some respect to Labrador owners, this is the competition venue, not a place for you to play hooligans."

The voice of the enchanting man was transmitted to all the speakers through the microphone, and all eyes were on Labrador for a moment.

Being stared at by so many people, Labrador's face immediately turned dark, but he didn't have the guts to confront so many people, including that enchanting man, who is the first family member of the Promise family in the city
Offending the Nuoyan family, how is that different from courting death?
"Hmph, lucky you, everyone is helping you today." Labrador snorted coldly, and hurriedly drew lots and left.

And Syndra just glanced at Labrador's back quietly, said nothing, then returned to Batllo and the others after drawing lots by herself.

"Patriarch, which family did you draw?"

As soon as Syndra sat down, Batllo asked curiously.

Syndra looked helplessly in the direction of the Labrador family, and said with disgust on her face, "The road to the enemy is narrow."

"What?" Bartello was taken aback, and said, "Did you get the Labrador family?"

"Yeah, what a coincidence."

After Sindra finished speaking helplessly, she stopped talking.

In the first round of the competition, each family has to fight twice, one is to fight with the target family that it has drawn, and the second is to fight with the drawn family.

If two families are lucky enough to draw each other, they will also need to fight twice.

In the first round of the battle, the families of both sides will send 5 participating disciples to fight in the first round of the battle, and in the second round to fight with the drawn family, the disciples to be sent cannot be the first group of people.

Therefore, this is also the reason why each family needs to select ten participating disciples.

This rule is actually very uncomfortable for some weak families.

First of all, not every family's participating disciples are equally strong, so if the strongest is selected for the first battle, then only the weaker group will be left in the second round. If it is balanced, it is easy to lose money.

And this is a good thing for the opponent in the second round.

But in any case, the rules are like this, no matter how reluctant everyone is, there is nothing they can do.

Therefore, after the rules were established, and after hundreds of years of development, all the families that are eligible to participate in the competition will specially train ten disciples every year to ensure that their strengths are as balanced as possible, so that there will be no situation where the former is strong and the latter is weak.

For example, the Syndra family, because the family power is not bad, so they cultivated a lot of disciples.

For example, in the past ten years, they have trained more than [-] disciples, and the ten strongest disciples will be selected every year to participate in the competition.

This has also led to the fact that the strength of the participating disciples of the Syndra family is very balanced. Two planetary-level captains and eight God-level disciples form two teams to fight twice.

However, compared with most families, the power of the Syndra family is just that.

After all, it was just a family in a remote town like Notting Town. Compared to a few, it was considered strong, but compared to the majority, it could only be said to be quite satisfactory.

In recent years, the Syndra family has Batllo and Cross as the main combat power, which is still reasonable.

To know other families, at least 3-4 Marquis disciples participated in the competition.

Of course, this is a comparison. If it is a comparison, some families can only find one disciple of the Marquis, and maybe they have invited foreign aid.

The competition system of the family competition is relatively loose, as long as the contestants self-certify their position, no one will care whether you belong to the family, so foreign aid is still very friendly.

In short, if you are willing to contribute to them, that is your business. As long as you can win, it is your choice who you are with.

The reason why this rule can be tolerated is because the strength of many families is too different.

Some are outrageously strong, some are outrageously weak. In order to ensure that the competition can be played beautifully every year, this rule can be tolerated.

Otherwise, it would be a unilateral massacre by several families every year, so what's the point?

Just make an appointment directly, and even have a chicken feather contest!

……

After the drawing of lots for the families of all parties, the organizers also quickly selected the participating families for the first round of the competition, and the enchanting man announced it.

"Okay, so the tense draw is over, and now we have selected the two sides for the first battle, the Syndra family and the Labrador family!"

The enchanting man had just finished speaking, his eyes were obviously stunned, but he still maintained his professionalism, and said with a smile: "Now, let's invite disciples from both families to play!"

As soon as the words fell, most people turned their attention to the seats where the Labrador family and the Syndra family were located.

However, there are obviously more people looking at the Syndra family than the Labrador family, because Syndra's appearance is recognized as beautiful in the city, and many members of the family yearn for her very much.

Feeling the many gazes, Syndra's face was calm.

"Clos, let your team go first this time." Syndra looked at Cross and said.

"Patriarch, the strength of the Labrador family is not weak, what if they send the strongest?" Bartello asked hastily.

"It's okay, our focus is not on them. Even if we lose the first game, it's okay. If we win the second game, we can still enter the next round. Moreover, we know the strength of their family. If Cross is more cautious, he might be able to win. win."
