When they entered the lobby of the Orange Alliance headquarters, a male staff member who looked to be in his sixties, with short silver-gray hair and a mustache walked up.
"Good morning, what are you two doing here? Are you visiting or buying souvenirs?"
Xia You took a step forward and said politely: "Hello, I'm here to challenge the Orange Alliance. Please register for me."
Hearing that Xia You was actually here to challenge for the Winner's Cup, the attitude of the staff immediately became much more enthusiastic.
"Welcome. Speaking of which, we haven't held a competition for nearly a month. Today we finally have a new challenger. It's really something worth celebrating. But before that, according to the regulations, there are still Please show your proof.”
prove?
It probably refers to the four Southern Cross badges of the Orange Gym.
However, no one has challenged for the Winners Cup for so long, which shows that the level of the Orange League has almost stagnated. This is not a good thing for development.
While thinking about it, Xia You took out the badge collection box from his backpack, opened it, and presented four various shell badges in front of the staff.
The staff member took a small scanner and scanned the four badges one after another. The next second, Xia You's personal information was displayed on the computer screen nearby.
So rigorous, it even has anti-counterfeiting certification!
Xia You sighed, and then glanced at the computer. On the screen, in addition to his handsome photo, it also said that he was from the Kalos region and had won the Quartz Conference championship.
"Huh? Are you the trainer who just won the Quartz Championship? No wonder I felt familiar when I first saw you!"
After knowing Xia You's identity, the staff member couldn't help but look happy.
In fact, practitioners like them usually pay more attention to news in this area than others. No matter who wins the championship in which region, who is the popular seed player, or who is more famous or who is the most popular, they all pay attention to it. Heard a little bit.
Although these major competition areas will produce a champion every year, and the number has been quite large so far, there has never been a champion who has come to challenge their Orange League!
"Winning or not winning the championship is all in the past." Xia You waved his hand and said indifferently, "I am just an ordinary challenger now, no different from others, we are all on the same starting line, but Don’t give me any halo.”
Even though Xia You said so, the staff would never take such polite words seriously.
He is not stupid, how could he really treat someone like Xia You as an ordinary challenger!
After all, the Orange League is only a small league. It is not only geographically remote, but also has a relatively sparse population. Compared with other leagues, its influence and ratings have always been much lower.
Now it is not easy to have such a Quartz Conference champion to challenge, which is undoubtedly a major event worthy of publicity!
If you win, you will naturally live up to the reputation of the Quartz Alliance, and Xia You is a well-deserved champion. But if Xia You accidentally loses, doesn't it mean that the strength of the Orange Alliance is already strong enough to challenge the major leagues!
Therefore, no matter whether we win or lose, it can increase the popularity of the Orange League!
No matter how you think about it, it’s a sure profit!
Thinking of this, he smiled even more.
"I'm so rude. I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Carl, and I am the vice president of the Orange Alliance."
Vice president! ?
Xia You was stunned. She didn't expect that the man in front of her was actually a big shot!
To be honest, when he first walked in and saw this staff member, he felt a little strange.
After all, other places usually use young and beautiful women as receptionists, but the Orange Alliance actually used such an old man who was over fifty years old, which was really beyond his expectation.
But now that I know his identity, I feel a little relieved.
"It's really flattering to have the vice-president personally receive him!" Xia You took the initiative to extend his hand.
"No matter where you are!" Karl shook hands with him and said with a smile, "Because there are very few challengers in our Orange Alliance. I can do it all by myself, so I don't need so many people to maintain it here."
Speaking of this, he added: "This journey has been really hard, but the sunshine in our Orange Islands is warm and bright, and the scenery is also very beautiful. If Mr. Xia You has time, he must experience it."
Xia You nodded: "I have already experienced it. I have indeed experienced many rare scenery here, and I have also conquered several powerful Pokémon. I have to say that the Orange Islands are really a relaxing place. place."
Hearing this, Karl felt happy, smiled, and turned his eyes to Nazi: "By the way, I haven't asked you yet, who is this young lady next to you...?"
"Oh, she is my companion, not a challenger."
Xia You introduced Nazi, and when he turned his head, he saw that Nazi was looking intently at a statue in the shape of a dragon on the side!
This Kuailong statue seems to be made of iron. It is a metallic green color and the overall workmanship is relatively exquisite. Looking at the shape, you can see that the Kuailong spreads its wings, its two claws stretch to the left and right, and its eyes are serious. Staring straight ahead, as if guarding something.
Seeing that both of them were interested in this statue, Karl smiled and said: "Kailong, as the guardian of this island, has always been respected by the people here. Speaking of which, our current chief trainer of the Orange Alliance has one in his hands. There’s a powerful dragon! And since he became the chief trainer, no one has ever defeated him in the Victory Cup!”
Whether it was Kuailong or the chief trainer, Xia You could feel that his tone was full of pride.
but……
Never been defeated?
What a coincidence, so am I.
Carl clicked the keyboard a few times, entered information into the computer, and said to Xia You: "Okay, the registration is complete. According to the regulations, the time of the competition is set at ten o'clock tomorrow morning, and here Before that, please let me take you to familiarize yourself with the venue."
"Then it'll be hard work."
Of course Xia You had no objection, but when he saw Karl walking out from behind the reception desk and going straight to the door, he couldn't help but be surprised and said: "But if we just leave like this, is it really okay? If someone comes to challenge us again at this time, wouldn't it be Isn’t there anyone to receive you?”
"Don't worry." Karl smiled softly, his tone confident but also a bit helpless, "As I just said, no one has come to challenge me for a long time. Even if I leave for a few hours, nothing will happen. !”
