In the lounge, Karl told Xia You some rules about the competition system, including where to start, what to do if you win, what to do if you lose, and a series of related rules.
At the end, Karl turned to look out the window and suddenly said with emotion: "To be honest, although the previous Victory Cups have been held with great enthusiasm, it can be seen that the enthusiasm of the audience today is particularly high. Not only is the venue already full, There were even a large group of people who had not received tickets and stayed outside the stadium for a long time, unwilling to leave. To be honest, I have never seen such a grand event in all my years of working in the industry!"
"Really?" Xia You said with a smile, "This shows that whether it is the Victors Cup or the Orange League, they are getting better and better, and they are becoming more and more popular!"
"No..." Karl shook his head and took a deep look at Xia You: "Actually, every time the Victor's Cup is held, the number of viewers is almost the same. There is not much fluctuation. Only this time such a situation happened. , it seems that this is all thanks to Mr. Xia You!"
"Thanks to me?" Xia You shrugged and said noncommittally, "I didn't do anything. All of this is the result of your vigorous publicity!"
Karl sighed softly, knowing that the reason why this time was so enthusiastic was simply because of the fame of the handsome man in front of him. However, he did not dwell on this topic anymore. Instead, he took a look at the time, then exited the door and said goodbye: " There is still more than an hour before the start of the game, we have prepared food and drinking water in advance, and asked Mr. Xia You to take a rest here, so I won’t disturb you too much!"
After Karl left, the lounge finally became quiet, and only Xia You and Na Zi were left.
Xia You closed the door and looked back at the lounge. She saw white walls and smooth and bright floors, making the place look very clean and tidy. Looking at the layout inside, not only large screens, tactical boards, tablets, etc. All equipment is available, and there are massage chairs, refrigerators, air conditioners and other facilities nearby, making the place serious and depressing, but also a bit warm and comfortable.
But even through the thick wall, you can still faintly hear the noise of tens of thousands of spectators gathering together in the sports stadium!
Thinking about it, he would soon appear in the spotlight and play the most passionate and popular sport in the world. Even though he had experienced it many times, it still made his blood boil!
But unexpectedly, when he came here, he was able to get rid of other distracting thoughts, became less nervous, and became more focused!
Xia You laughed at himself, maybe... maybe he is that kind of competition player!
Opening the Poké Ball, he released a few Pokémon, letting them adjust their state in the lounge and feel the tense atmosphere in advance, while he himself was half-lying on the sofa, closing his eyes and concentrating.
There was nothing I could do. After all, I went to bed too late last night and was severely lacking in both energy and physical strength. And I woke up very early today. It could be said that I was physically and mentally exhausted. Now I had to recuperate enough to face the intense and fierce battle that followed.
Seeing him like this, Nazi didn't bother him, she just held her cheek and looked at him silently.
Time is passing minute by minute.
While Xia You waited quietly, on Asia Island in the middle of the Orange Islands, Fulula, the mayor of Asia Town, and some other islanders were sitting in the banquet hall, adjusting the TV screen to the competition scene.
At this time, the two male and female hosts on the screen were still doing the final warm-up before the game, and behind them was the lively and spectacular Citrus Stadium!
In front of the TV, seeing that the time for the start of the game was getting closer and closer, Flora, who was sitting cross-legged on a chair, shouted loudly in the direction of the kitchen.
"Sister, hurry up, it's about to start!"
"coming!"
Xiaoyou responded, then walked to them from the back kitchen carrying several fruit plates.
Seeing his sister's face excited, Xiaoyou put one of the fruit plates in front of her and said with an endearing smile: "Frula, don't be so anxious. Take a good look at the clock on the wall. There is still time before the game starts. It’s been a long time!”
Flora chuckled, unscrewed a grape and threw it into her mouth. While chewing it, she said with a mouth full of confusion: "Sister, who do you think will win this game?"
"Who will win?" Knowing what she meant, Xiaoyou rolled his eyes at her and said meaningfully, "It should be said that it is who you want to win, right?"
"I hate it~" Hearing her sister's teasing, Fulula felt a little embarrassed and said shyly, "Needless to say, of course I hope Xia You wins! After all, he saved the world and helped us. What a big favor!”
"Is it really just such a simple reason? Isn't it because you like him?" Xiaoyou exposed her lies mercilessly, but when she said this, she suddenly frowned and hesitated, "Although I don't How do you know about Pokémon battles, but I heard that the guy named Yuji is really strong, and he seems to have defeated dozens of challengers since he became the chief trainer!"
Although Flula didn't understand Pokémon battles and had never even paid attention to such a competition before, it still couldn't stop her from blindly trusting Xia You.
"So what!?" She raised her white chin and said with disdain, "No matter who the opponent is, I believe Xia You will definitely defeat him!"
"I'm afraid it won't be easy this time!" On the side, hearing her looking down on Yongci, the mayor shook his head and interjected, "Yongci is known as the most powerful man in the Orange Alliance. Some people say that if he challenges other The alliance will definitely come back with a championship. With such a person as an opponent, it will definitely not be easy for Xia You to win!"
However, as soon as the mayor's words came out, he saw that Flora's face immediately fell. He knew that he had said the wrong thing, so he hurriedly changed his voice and said in a longer voice: "But..."
"But?" Furula's eyes lit up and she asked, "But what?"
The mayor chuckled and said: "But Xia You is also very powerful. He can stop Poseidon Lugia and is the champion of the Quartz Alliance. He will definitely not be defeated so easily!"
"Of course!" Flora's mood was indeed much better. She said with joy, "As long as he sends out the three holy birds, no one will be his opponent!"
"I'm afraid he won't send those three Pokémon..." Unexpectedly, Xiaoyou shook his head after hearing what his sister said, "Although the contact time is not long, based on my understanding of Xia You, It's impossible for him to send out the Three Sacred Birds in this kind of competition. After all, it would be too eye-catching and would cause trouble..."
After hearing what her sister said, Flora was stunned for a moment. After thinking about it for a moment, she sighed softly.
"That's right..."
While they were talking, a similar scene was happening in Kuye City in the Kanto region.
At the Sakuragi Research Institute, Dr. Sakuragi and his family, together with two assistants, Kukui and Renji, were also sitting in front of the big screen, watching the TV broadcast.
After Xiaochun got the news about Xia You last night, he immediately informed his parents. Coincidentally, Dr. Sakuragi's work was not too heavy these days, so he simply gave his two assistants half a day off and took them with him. The family members joined them and watched the game lively.
In addition to them, as Xia You's most loyal supporters, the group of bosozokus also gathered in a newly founded club and were also paying attention to this game!
