What is a Pokémon Trainer?

The weather was very hot, but the weather was very hot.

At 8 o'clock in the morning on August 8, Zhou Yuan sat in Liu Yongming's car and went to Shuangqing City Stadium, where the opening ceremony of the Nuannuan Pig Cup and the first round of eliminations would be held today.

Sitting in the car, Zhou Yuan recalled last night...

Last night, after Zhou Yuan captured Gyarados, he rode Dahong and hurried back to the ranch before the sun completely set.

Standing at the gate of the ranch, Liu Yongming saw Zhou Yuan coming back, and as usual, he said nothing and turned to walk towards the restaurant.

Zhou Yuan was somewhat touched. Although Uncle Liu always said that he was not waiting for him, his behavior was inconsistent with what he said. As long as he did not clearly say that he would not come back for dinner, he would wait until he came back to eat together.

He took out the Poké Ball with the mosquito coil swimmer and chased after him, saying to Liu Yongming:

"Uncle Liu, look, I brought you a toad that can pray for rain. Didn't you say before that it was inconvenient to water the grass? Now you don't have to worry, praying for rain can solve all problems."

Liu Yongming took the Poké Ball, but did not show any emotion. He just stared at Zhou Yuan with a smile and asked:

"What? You are also starting to be a Pokémon hunter?"

Although Liu Yongming said these words with a smile, Zhou Yuan felt that if he could not explain it clearly, he might be beaten today.

"Uncle Liu, it's not what you think. Let me explain..."

Zhou Yuan spent a lot of time explaining to Liu Yongming what happened today. Liu Yongming originally thought that this kid was lying to him, but when Zhou Yuan released Gyarados, Liu Yongming had to admit that this kid was better than he was back then.

"I was wondering why you always run out with Dahong recently. It turns out that you have taken a fancy to this heterochromatic Gyarados."

Zhou Yuan had some concerns and raised a question.

"Uncle Liu, will there be any problem if I send Gyarados in the battle tomorrow? After all, it is not my initial Pokémon."

Liu Yongming smiled heartily.

"What's the problem? It's your ability to tame this Gyarados. No one can tell you what to do. And you did it completely by yourself. You're much better than those kids who rely on their parents' help to tame Pokémon."

That night, after dinner, Zhou Yuan gave the Earthquake Learning Machine to Gyarados. With the help of the learning device, Gyarados also learned Iron Head from Dahong.

And Caterpie finally broke through to the normal level after a hard fight in the afternoon and the promotion of the energy cube. Zhou Yuan threw the Fire Gem to it to lick it.

It was said before that various attribute gems are condensed from gym-level Pokémon. The biggest role is to help Pokémon break through from the normal level to the senior level, but it is not achieved overnight. There is also a process of absorption.

Zhou Yuan looked at the data of Station A, opened the virtual battle recording and uploaded the 'Scientific Texture Team [Pokémon Tactics 07]'.

"Okay, Xiao Yuan, we're here."

Liu Yongming's words pulled Zhou Yuan back from his memories, and Zhou Yuan looked at the gymnasium outside through the car window.

Shuangqing City Gymnasium consists of a competition area, a sports industry area, a sports teaching area, a sports park area, a commercial development area, and a residential area.

The sports competition area is the core part of the sports center, with a planned land area of ​​426,000 square meters and a building area of ​​133,600 square meters. It is a group of buildings with an embracing layout with the main stadium as the core and the east-west main axis as the skeleton.

The center is planned to be built as a central stadium (with a capacity of 60,000 spectators and a building area of ​​80,000m2) and a comprehensive gymnasium (with a planned capacity of 15,000 spectators and a building area of ​​50,000m2).

This time, the Warm Pig Cup was mainly held in the central stadium. Zhou Yuan followed Liu Yongming into the central stadium, registered with his trainer certificate at the sign-in place, and got the number and battle certificate.

At nine o'clock in the morning, the opening ceremony of the Warm Pig Cup officially began.

Yun Yang, the Fire Gym Master of Shuangqing City, stood on the arena in the center of the battlefield and spoke into the standing microphone:

"Welcome all newcomers to embark on the journey of trainers. This is a grand event in our Shuangqing City. There are 4074 contestants this year."

"The competition system is very simple. It is an elimination system from beginning to end. The system randomly assigns contestants. When the number of contestants is odd, one person will be given a bye."

"There are a total of 101 arenas on site. The arena in the middle will be used to determine the top six.

It will be activated after the top 14, and the remaining battles will be held in the remaining 100 arenas. The battle area is divided into four major areas: A, B, C, and D, with 25 arenas in each area. "

"There are 24 large screens on site. In the first few rounds of the game, Rotom will record the battles in real time, and the more exciting battles will be displayed on the screen. As the number of people decreases, the screens will gradually merge. When the top 16 are left, the large screen in the center will broadcast the battles in real time."

"The eliminated trainers will receive a small prize provided by Devon Company. The top 64 to 128 players will receive a shopping card with a value of 5,000 yuan, the top 32 to top 64 will receive a value of 10,000 yuan, the top 16 to top 32 will receive a value of 20,000 yuan, and the top 8 to top 16 players will receive a 10-day energy cube in addition to the 30,000 yuan shopping card. "

"It will be higher, 60,000 yuan for the top 8, 100,000 yuan for the top 4, 150,000 yuan for the third place, 200,000 yuan for the runner-up, and 300,000 yuan for the champion. In addition to monetary rewards, players in the top eight can choose items of corresponding value according to their ranking, including items such as evolution stones. In addition, the top eight players can directly enter the top 64 of the December Yandi Cup. "

"Strength is the future, trainers, fight!"

After saying the last sentence, Yunyang waved to the contestants and turned to leave the ring.

At the same time, the system's battle allocation for the players was also sent to the players' mobile phones via text messages.

"Is the third game on the 21st platform in area A..."

Zhou Yuan looked at the information on his mobile phone and followed the prompts in the venue to the 21st platform in area A. It was 9:45 at this time, and there was still some time before the first game at 10 o'clock.

Zhou Yuan was sitting on the waiting platform. A little fat man squeezed over and touched his shoulder and asked:

"Hey, brother, are you also in this ring? I'm in the fifth game, which one are you in? "

Zhou Yuan glanced at him. This little fat guy looked quite pleasing to the eye. He wanted to have someone touch his face and knead it.

"I'm in the third game."

"Oh, so, where are you from? What do you do?"

Zhou Yuan rolled his eyes at him when he heard this question. This guy was just playing tricks.

Seeing that his jokes didn't seem to be very funny, the little fat guy was a little embarrassed. He laughed dryly twice and then spoke again:

"Brother, let's just joke. What's your name? My name is Li Chengqian. My family owns the largest business district in Shuangqing City. I like you very much. Next time you come to visit me, I'll treat you to a meal and a massage. "

Hearing the little fat man say this, Zhou Yuan was also a little surprised. Why does it feel that the people he has recently come into contact with have some strength in their families?

But Zhou Yuan did not change his attitude just because the little fat man is rich. So what if he is rich? I have a system, and even if I don’t have a system, judging from the current Growlithe and Gyarados, their final achievements will never be lower than the gym owner.

Out of politeness, Zhou Yuan still replied to the little fat man:

"Hello Li Chengqian, my name is Zhou Yuan."

"Okay, okay, big brother, you are so handsome, can we be friends? "

Hearing this, Zhou Yuan's hair stood up and he hurriedly moved a seat to the other side.

Seeing Zhou Yuan's action, Li Chengqian knew what he was thinking and quickly explained:

"Brother, you misunderstood. I am not gay. I just appreciate good-looking people and want to make friends with good-looking people. There is no money or physical relationship involved. It is a very pure friendship. If you really don't believe it, you can go out and ask around. I, Li Chengqian, have a good reputation. "

After hearing this, Zhou Yuan was also skeptical, but he still chose not to sit back.

Under Li Chengqian's boasting and joking, the time soon came to ten o'clock.

The referee walked onto the stage and summoned his partner. Zhou Yuan took a glance and found that it was a senior-level late-stage Transfiguration Dragon. The referee also explained that the purpose of releasing the elves is to use the guard in time to protect the two fighting parties in the event of a situation that may cause serious injury or death, but once the referee intervenes, the party being intervened will be judged as the loser.

"Please invite the two players in the first group to come on stage. "

After the referee finished speaking, a man and a woman stood up from among the dozens of people in the battle zone. They each held the Poké Ball tightly in their hands and walked up the stairs on both sides of the ring.

After the two sides greeted each other, the referee announced the start of the game.

The boy sent out a middle-level ordinary-level Rada, while the girl sent out only a late-level novice-level Walking Grass. There was no suspense in this battle. Walking Grass was directly defeated by Rada's fatal front fang.

The girl took back Walking Grass with red eyes and hurried to the Pokémon Center set up in the venue

ran away, while the boy took back Raida and snorted disdainfully and left.

On the first day, because there were too many people, only the first round of eliminations was played, and each person only played one game.

The second match started soon. Both sides were ordinary-level Pokémons, one was Pidgeot and the other was Arboretus. Because of their similar strength, they fought back and forth for a while.

In Zhou Yuan's opinion, it was a command full of mistakes, but everyone was a new trainer. It was really difficult to capture Pokémons, establish simple bonds with Pokémons, and command Pokémons to fight in a month.

After more than ten minutes of fierce fighting, the flying Pidgeot finally won.

"Sure enough, those who can fly have an advantage... Let's see who can't fly."

After the second match, the referee began to invite the two sides of the third match to the stage.

Zhou Yuan stood up.

"It's my turn."
