Chapter 437 World Masters Tournament Opens
"You said the Pikachu on that boy's shoulder is at the Guardian level?" Nick Brown was surprised after hearing Michelle's words. He and Li Yunfeng had a verbal fight in the store, and found that Selena had no hostility towards Li Yunfeng and Wang Qiyi, but always wanted to make friends with them. Michelle said nothing and was in a hurry to leave. He also felt it was boring, so he took the two of them to another place.
He had always wondered why Michelle had lost to Li Yunfeng last year, and he had been trying hard to defeat Li Yunfeng in this competition. However, his performance today was very abnormal, so he asked the reason. Michelle briefly told the two of them what happened in the secret realm of Baiyin Mountain.
"Are you sure the Pikachu on his shoulder is the one you met in the secret realm?" Selina wanted to confirm again.
"That's right. That Pikachu rushed out with the sun hat on. He was fighting one against three. All three Pokémon were legendary Pokémon from Korbrand. He was no match for it at all. And he was so fast that we couldn't even see his movements."
"We need to go back and report the situation to the team leader. Mr. Brando is also in the Olympic Village now. If the trainers from the Dragon Country bring their Patronuses to participate in the Masters Tournament, then we will have no chance at all in this competition." After saying that, the three of them returned to their residence.
The leader of the Eagle Country this time is also a legendary trainer, with a level similar to Li Shining, and is good at ground-based Rick Smith. He has learned about the secrets of Silver Mountain from Cole Brando, and also knows about Pikachu, the guardian god beside Wang Qiyi.
When the team members hurriedly reported this to him, he said impatiently: "Look at you guys, you are not young anymore, but you are not calm at all. You were scared like this by a Pikachu. I have checked the registration information of the Dragon Country team. The Pokémon registered by Wang Qiyi does not have a Pikachu, so that Pokémon will not participate in this competition. Maybe he did not completely subdue that Pokémon, but just made friends with it."
After hearing Rick's words, the three of them felt relieved. Selina patted the two companions beside her and said, "Don't just focus on Wang Qiyi. I'm afraid the strongest opponent is still Li Yunfeng. He was able to beat Li Yunfeng at the beginning, just as he said, because he had the advantage of being able to super evolve. Now super evolution is no longer exclusive to him. We all have super evolution. Li Yunfeng is the one we should worry about the most."
The next day, the opening ceremony of the World Masters Tournament began at 8pm, and every household turned on the TV to watch the world's most popular elf battle event. These days, elf battle events rank first in popularity, followed by human sports such as football and basketball. Moreover, elf battle events directly represent a country's military and economic strength.
The entrance ceremony of the opening ceremony was like a demonstration. Although there were only a few players from each country, they all released their elves, forming a huge entrance team. Especially the larger secret realm overlord elves, with their huge bodies and overlord aura, they were particularly impressive when they appeared.
There are 136 countries participating in the World Masters Tournament, which means almost all the countries in the world have come. Compared with the original world with more than 200 countries and regimes, this world has only 136 countries in the world due to the sharp decline in population caused by the two Warcraft wars.
The teams appeared in alphabetical order. The first letter of the Dragon Country was C, and soon it was the Dragon Country team's turn to appear.
When the Dragon Nation team members stepped into the comprehensive arena, everyone exclaimed. They saw a giant Venusaur that was as tall as two stories, slowly walking in like a heavy tank, and the ten members of the Dragon Nation team all sat on the back of Venusaur and waved to the audience.
This was the domineering way Wang Qiyi came up with to make an appearance. Some small Pokémon were also jumping around on Venusaur. A large group of Flying Pokémon flew across the sky, including Dragonite, Bloodwing, Pidgeot, Togekiss, Pteranodon, etc., arranged neatly.
Wang Qiyi's red Gyarados and green Bloodwing Dragonite stood out. Li Shining, as the leader, walked in the front, and he also released his four trump cards to lead the way. The trump card Dragonite was the flag bearer, waving the national flag and walking in the front in a proud manner.
Almost all of the more than 60 elves of the ten participating teams came out to participate in the opening ceremony. Many domestic audiences who watched the opening ceremony on the outdoor big screen cheered loudly when they saw this scene. Everyone was proud of the strong lineup of the motherland.
"That Venusaur is so huge? Whose Pokémon is it?" a passerby asked.
"You don't even recognize it? Didn't it appear in the Battle of the Kings? It was Wang Qiyi's final Venusaur! It was its seed stand that guarded and intensified the poison tactics, and defeated Li Yunfeng's Garchomp by leaps and bounds. I've watched that classic battle many times, and the tactics used were superb." Someone said excitedly.
"This time our national team can be described as a golden generation. Dominating the world is no problem."
In the theory class of the Department of Combat at Zhejiang University, the night in the Kingdom of Eagles is the day in the Kingdom of Dragons. The class was supposed to be in session, but since one of the players on the national team was a student of Zhejiang University, the president announced that all students of Zhejiang University would have a half-day holiday to watch the opening ceremony. A group of students gathered in the classroom to watch the live broadcast on a large screen. When they saw Wang Qiyi's domineering appearance, the whole audience cheered.
Jia Wencheng kept telling others that Wang Qiyi was his high school classmate, which made him look very impressive. However, the object of envy of his classmates was Jiang Zining, because everyone knew that Jiang Zining was Wang Qiyi's apprentice, and he had a master-level fantasy beast in his hand that could defeat anyone in the academy. Jia Wencheng could only be ranked second now.
The same scene appeared in Yunjiang High School. Everyone knew that Li Xintian was Wang Qiyi's apprentice, so they would sneak a glance at her with envy from time to time. As a freshman, Li Xintian would have been pursued by many boys, but everyone knew that she was Wang Qiyi's top apprentice, so they all backed off. And no one looked down on her Magikarp anymore.
Like Jia Wencheng, there were also former teammates who boasted that they were good brothers of Wang Qiyi. Zhang Chenjia showed his classmates a group photo of the battle club in high school; Zheng Shuhan also boasted about his friendship with Wang Qiyi; and Zhao Zidong, who had once lost to Wang Qiyi, had lost that battle, but now it was the battle he was most proud of.
Wang Qiyi in the arena certainly didn't know that his domineering appearance had already caused cheers to shake the country. After the opening ceremony, he should also prepare for the next competition.
Wang Qiyi made the best possible arrangements to ensure that all the elves had a chance to play. Dandan's strength is currently at the bottom of the team, and he may not have many opportunities to play, so he signed him up for a flying speed race. I wanted to sign Xiaohong up for a swimming competition as well. She trains with weighted swimming in the water every day, so she always needs a stage to show off.
However, after reading the rules, I found that speed racing requires the Pokémon to carry the trainer to complete the stage, and combat skills cannot be used during the race. However, transformation skills can be used to interfere with the opponent or increase the speed BUFF for yourself.
The speed races would all be completed on the first day, and the flying race and swimming race would start at almost the same time in different regions, so Wang Qiyi could not split the two events. Therefore, he only signed up for the speed flying event.
The members of the Dragon Nation's second team knew that they would not get good results in the later elf battles, so they all focused their energy on the first few major events, hoping to win a gold medal. Wu Tianqing, who specializes in flying, signed up for the flying speed competition just like Wang Qiyi.
The race is divided into sections, and you have to complete corresponding tasks, which is a bit like human orienteering. The tasks include delivering letters, obtaining relevant task items in designated secret places, etc. The one who reaches the finish line in the shortest time wins. The entire flight race is about 480 kilometers.
The normal flying speed of a general legendary Pokémon can reach 400 kilometers per hour. If the speed buff is added, the maximum speed can reach nearly 600 kilometers per hour. However, at this speed, the trainer on the back cannot be taken care of, and the trainer may be thrown out. Therefore, this is a test of the trainer's riding ability and the Pokémon's wind control ability.
