He knows Pokémon better than me

On the screen, the matchups for the top 16 matches, and even the top 8 and 4 finals, arranged like a neat pyramid, were completely displayed on it at this moment.

There will be no changes in the next game arrangement, just keep going all the way.

Xiaozhi also found his name in the first position in the lower left corner.

From the looks of it, he was still the first player in the upper half?

Xiaozhi quickly looked at the players he was about to face in the round of 16.

It was the player named "Lance" who happened to be ranked above him in the hot search prediction rankings.

"It seems that later, I'm going to study this person's information carefully..."

Then Xiaozhi raised his head and looked all the way to the right, wanting to know where Xiaomao was.

Different from himself, Xiaomao's competition area is somewhere in the second half.

"That is to say, as long as I make it all the way to the final... then I will definitely be able to win with Xiaomao at the finish line...?"

Seeing this, Xiaozhi's eyes suddenly became extremely hot.

To be able to make a real break with that guy on the biggest stage, or the most crucial match...

Just thinking about it makes my blood boil.

Fortunately, it's not the top 16 or the top 8. It's not enough passion at all!

"Don't be careless, Xiaozhi, you are in the death group in the first half. Ye Yue, Ah Jin, Ah Jin, and that guy named Lance are all in your group..."

Xiao Gang reminded quite seriously.

In other words, if Xiaozhi wants to enter the finals, he must defeat all these people head-on.

"I know."

Xiaozhi clenched his fists and looked at Pikachu on his shoulders, full of fighting spirit.

"Pickup!"

The expressions of Pikachu and Xiaozhi are very similar.

Then he turned around and ran towards the room.

Next, Xiaozhi has to take a good look at the intelligence of this man named Lance, formulate tactics, and then go to bed early and wake up early.

Tomorrow's round of 16 will be his first game in the morning, so he needs to keep his spirits up.

...

On the other side, in another Pokémon Center in Silver Town.

A boy with short cyan hair and a black hat also saw his opponent in the round of 16 on the screen.

Beside her ear was a mobile phone, as if she was talking to someone.

A handsome face with an elegant and easy-going smile.

"Master Apollo, my subordinates have successfully entered the top 16, and there will be no suspense in the next eight or four..."

Lance said flatly, apparently not taking his opponent seriously.

"That's right. With your strength, as long as you don't run into any top players, you can reach the top 4 in the Silver Conference."

On the other end of the phone came the melodious voice of Apollo, an elite cadre of the Rockets.

Lance is Apollo's trusted subordinate in the Johto area.

He just became a trainer this year, but he has good qualifications, and was unilaterally designated by Apollo as the future successor of the Rockets.

Well, as long as he Apollo one day flushes the boss of Sakagi, he will be in charge of the Rockets of Nuoda.

You can change the prefix "future" to now.

in other words.

Apollo drew a big cake for Lance.

"Don't worry, Master Apollo, I understand!"

Lance said, his tone quite respectful.

Next, he only needs to reach the top 4 results of the Silver Conference, and then publicly say that the Pokémon League is not good, and he will change jobs to a place that is more suitable for high-quality trainers-the Rockets.

This is the old marketing method of the Rockets.

Use the topicality to completely heat up the Rockets!

Backhand and then tarnish the league's reputation.

"My opponent is Xiaozhi from Zhenxin Town? Haha Zhenxin Town? Which rural place, I've never heard of it!"

Lance has fast-forwarded to the ending, and couldn't help laughing.

"!"

It's just that Apollo on the other end of the phone became suffocated when he heard this.

I must have heard it wrong, right?

But the name may be misheard, and the location cannot be wrong, right? This guy is really Xinzhen after reading it twice.

Apollo, who was holding a goblet of red wine, changed his expression.

In the end, he could only bite the bullet and say:

"Lance, admit defeat, the Silver Alliance plan is stinking, and it is temporarily canceled this year."

When he ran into this hidden boss at the beginning, Apollo could only sigh that Lance was really unlucky.

"Master Apollo?"

Lance was stunned for a long time, not knowing why the plot turned to this stage.

But soon, his eyes froze.

"No matter what, I won't quit!"

A genius is proud.

Although behind his back, he is already in the shape of the Rockets.

But how much in his heart, he still has the passionate dream of challenging the alliance conference.

When he really bounced back and wanted to participate in the league meeting, the latter probably wouldn't let him pass.

The Rockets were blacklisted.

"Oh, then you can continue to participate. But I don't know you well, so don't say you know me."

So Apollo just said so.

After speaking, he hung up the phone.

He always felt that if he talked for a while, Lance's unlucky breath would travel along the phone line and infect him.

Lance: "?"

He touched his head, wanting to ask the latter whether the pancake he had drawn before was still working.

Is he still the future successor of the Rockets?

Just listening to the prolonged registration sound on the phone, Lance was a little confused.

Then he raised his head and looked at the screen.

"Are you really Xiaozhi from Xinzhen, who are you...?"

Lance turned his head away, went back to his room, turned on the lights to fight at night, and began to study Xiaozhi's Pokémon information...

...

...

The next day, early morning.

Early on, the seats in the entire main arena were already full of spectators.

Everyone's eyes are focused on the middle of the arena.

The group stage is still divided into two teams, but starting from the round of 16, there is only the most formal arena in the middle.

In one morning, two top 16 matches will be held.

Four games a day for two days.

On the high platform of the stairs, the flame of the flame bird was still burning high in the brazier.

Accompanied by countless shouts and calls from all around, Xiaozhi has already stood at one end of the arena, with an electric mouse standing at his feet.

And the opposite of him is naturally the Rockets' promising future Lance.

He is only a talent secretly cultivated by the Rockets, and his identity has not been revealed, which is why he can participate in the league conference so casually.

It's just that Lance studied the latter's information last night, and now there are thick dark circles under the corners of his eyes.

He is a strict person.

On the other hand, Xiaozhi is full of energy and radiant.

After reading the latter's materials for half an hour, I turned around and went to sleep, sleeping soundly.

If he wants to go all the way to the finals, this first game can't stop him from moving forward!

On the electronic screen at the back, the heads of the two people had already appeared, and there were three patterns of pokemon balls arranged neatly below them.

"In the first match of the top 16 of the Silver Conference, Xiaozhi from Zhenxin Town will face Lance from Manjin City. The match begins!"

With the referee's voice down.

The two moved forward at the same time, throwing their elf balls.

boom!

Appearing in front of Lance was a brown owl with raised pale yellow eyebrows, looking quite majestic.
