Chapter 489: Bury It
The venue for the all-around competition was set at a huge newly built stadium on the edge of Asacong Town.
The comprehensive sports stadium and the auditorium that can accommodate tens of thousands of spectators show the organizers' determination to give it a big go.
At the Pokemon Center, Xiaozhi was feeding Poffin to Pikachu and the others while browsing the rules on his phone.
The competition is divided into five events, which test Pokémon's speed, strength, skills, endurance and jumping ability respectively.
Specific competition events include hurdle sprint, brick breaking with bare hands, snowball fight, cross-country racing and plate catching.
Some of the competitions will have celebrity players participating, such as Xiao Qian and Miltank participating in the cross-country race, Jin and Infernape participating in the hurdle sprint, and Li and Lucario participating in the bare-handed brick splitting...
"Tsk tsk, this competition is getting more and more interesting, it's really worth it...
But speaking of it, it seems that everyone in the city is in the off-season, Ah Mi came to participate in the glamour contest, and now it’s Xiao Qian, who is letting herself go. "
"Wow~ What a big deer..." In the backyard of the Pokemon Center, Xiaoguang curiously surrounded Xiaozhi's Deer with strange horns, exclaiming in amazement.
This girl has won two consecutive glamour contests and is only one ribbon medal away from participating in the grand celebration.
Therefore, she is determined to win the gorgeous competition in Asahi Town.
"Well... it's just a friendly match anyway, let Rex, Arcanine and the other Pokémon relax for a while."
Shrugging easily, Xiaozhi picked up the sandwich at hand and went to the backyard and shouted, "Who wants to eat?!"
"Here I come!" Serena was not participating in the competition this time, so she simply went to give Xiaoguang special training as a coach.
Minghui took this opportunity to take some time out from his busy schedule to go for special training.
As the Sinnoh League gets closer, Minghui also starts doing "recovery" training.
For a talented player like him, it is important to maintain sensitivity in battles.
After dinner, Xiaoguang once again hurriedly took Serena to prepare for the competition.
Xiaozhi and Pikachu, who were unexpectedly left alone, looked at each other and said, "How about going out for a walk?"
"Pika!" Pikachu nodded. This was a date between men!
After coming out of the Pokemon Center, Xiaozhi and Pikachu wandered aimlessly along the shopping street.
Because of the upcoming gorgeous competition and all-around competition, the town has a lot of traffic.
Not only that, with the help of the "Johto" special offer, Asagi Town, as the end point of the tour, is even more lively like a summer festival.
Various products of Chengdu are within reach, such as Moo Moo Milk Ice Cream and the angry buns of Kaji Town...
Xiaozhi and Pikachu also ate as they walked, and if they came across something delicious, they would pack up a portion for Serena and Xiaopi.
In the small city square in the center of the shopping street, a large screen plays an introduction video of the Johto area.
"The beautiful Johto is a place with vast land and sparse population, abundant water and soil resources, and many elves..." The narrator is Kotone, the third-generation "Johto Girl" and Dr. Sora's new assistant.
The first generation is Krystal, the second generation is Marina, the third generation is Kotone, and in terms of aesthetics, it has to be Professor Soragi. These three generations of girls are all like they were poured out of the same mold...
Or is it that this old guy is actually a fan of twin tails?
However, Xiaozhi only sneered at this introduction video. Is the city big? It is very big. Only those who go there will know!
I’m not going anyway!
At the end of the street, the sound of shamisen could be heard and a troupe of Kabuki dancers were dancing gorgeously from afar.
Xiaozhi was just about to go and observe some art when his attention was attracted by a poor little creature.
In front of a teppanyaki fried noodles stall, a poor little pink-haired kid was holding his stomach, staring at the steaming fried noodles with greedy eyes.
"Hmm~ As expected I can't even hold on after one meal~" Ah Li sighed while rubbing his stomach.
"Boss, give me a serving of fried noodles for the whole family~" Xiaozhi's voice sounded.
Before Ah Li could even look up, a hand was pressed on his head.
"How can a fighter go hungry? I'll treat you to a midnight snack." Xiaozhi said with a faint smile.
"Senior Xiaozhi!" Ah Li raised his head gratefully.
"When did you come back?" Xiaozhi asked with a smile.
"I've been back for a week, and just in time, I was invited to an event here. The appearance fee is quite generous, plus there's a prize for the champion, so I came." Ah Li scratched his head embarrassedly.
"Oh, looks like you've gotten what you wanted?" Xiaozhi nodded in understanding.
"Well, thanks to Mr. Kokobul." Ali nodded excitedly.
Various vegetables, bacon and noodles are stir-fried in a rich sauce, giving off a domineering aroma.
Finally, add a sterilized egg and the street food, the teppanyaki fried noodles, is ready to go.
After taking the fried noodles, Xiaozhi handed it to Li: "Here, life is not easy, remember to eat well~"
"I understand." Ah Li took the fried noodles and put his hands together politely: "I'm going to eat!"
Looking at the girl squatting on the side of the road and eating heartily, Xiaozhi also laughed out loud from the bottom of his heart.
Boom! The two were chatting when suddenly there was a loud noise in the open space not far away.
Xiaozhi and the others looked up and saw Jin being pinned to the ground by a huge milk can, still refusing to accept the defeat.
"Xiao Qian, you big milk can, why are you so angry when you lose the billiard game?"
Xiao Qian put her hands on her hips and said, "Humph, who told you to beat me twelve games in a row? You don't know how to be gentle with women. Roll your big milk can for me, and watch me suck the bucket with my high pole!"
"Ah! Yame..."
This life is truly heartbreaking and makes those who hear it cry.
The innocent Ah Li looked at Xiaozhi and said, "Are they okay? Should we stop them?"
"Eat your noodles, pretend you don't know them..." Xiaozhi covered his face in embarrassment, his eyes showing. This is the street!
"Eh? Xiaozhi, is that you? Save me quickly!" Ajin's eyes lit up and he shouted immediately.
Swish! As the crowd turned their attention, Xiaozhi had already pulled Li and ran away.
"Huh~" After running two miles, Xiaozhi finally breathed a sigh of relief and said, "Okay, go back and rest quickly, there is an opening ceremony tomorrow.
If you don’t have enough to eat these two days, come to the Pokémon Center to find me. I’ll make an extra portion for you while I’m cooking for Serena and the others.”
"Okay, Senior Xiaozhi." Ah Li nodded obediently and trotted towards the hotel provided by the organizer.
In fact, the hotel provides a 24-hour buffet, but the child is too thin-skinned and only eats a little each time.
If this is Xiaozhi and Xiaoyao, please teach the hotel’s chef what the soul of a foodie is!
The next day...
The sun is shining brightly, it is a good day for sports.
The restaurant at the Pokémon Center, Xiaozhi, Serena, and Li who came to get a free lunch.
There is also the spirited Xiao Qian, and Jin Laowu, who is leaning on a pool cue with a bruised face and nose.
Everyone has assembled.
"Well, let's go. After watching the opening ceremony, we'll know the competition schedule." Xiaozhi said after checking the time.
Everyone nodded and rushed towards the venue together.
Xiaozhi and Serena entered the venue through the player channel, while Li and the others entered through the special VIP channel.
After all, they are "star" players.
Soon, amid thunderous cheers from the audience, three salutes were fired, followed by warm applause, and the Pokémon Omni Tournament opening ceremony officially began!
The star contestants led by Ajin appeared one after another, pushing the atmosphere in the venue to a climax.
"Hehe, thank you very much, thank you very much~" Jin Laowu waved his hands proudly.
Next came Ali. Although his popularity was average, he was the trainer of the Veil City Gym after all, and he also received enthusiastic response from the audience.
When it came to Xiao Qian, the scene became interesting.
The cheers and wailing were almost half and half.
"Fuck, this woman, the dead rolling attack hit me again..."
"That big milk can makes me want to vomit when I see it now..."
"Brother, you too?"
Serena, who was hiding in the contestant channel watching the opening ceremony, asked Xiaozhi curiously: "Xiao Qian is so cute, why does it seem that everyone is so resistant to her?"
Xiaozhi shook his head, not knowing whether to laugh or cry: "I have to mention this, the daunting milk-drinking rolling milk tank at the Manjin Gym..."
Fortunately, the host was also a veteran and quickly brought the rhythm back to the competition scene.
"In addition to these three, there is another important guest who will participate in the snowball fight in the skills competition, and that is...
The Four Heavenly Kings of Sinnoh, the big star of the bug type, Mr. Liu!! "
Xiaozhi's mouth twitched below the stands. How could he meet such a fellow...
"I don't know if I can change the player. Since I'm facing him, Emperor Nabo is not suitable. Let's change to Blizzard King..."
Well, looking at the pretentious green-haired superstar on the stage, Xiaozhi made up his mind.
Find an opportunity and bury him...
To be continued...
