Beside him, Fighting King Lian Wu heard Huckleberry's voice and frowned in displeasure. candle stub
This guy's habit of gambling has not changed.
But soon, Lian Wu clenched his fists, and the muscles in his arms were trembling slightly, and he said confidently:
"Hmph, this ending is not surprising, because I will definitely defeat Mr. Adek this time!"
Hearing this, Huckleberry covered her mouth lightly, turned to look at Lian Wu, and almost laughed.
"If you say...I bet you can't make it to the top eight~"
Lian Wu: "..."
Seeing Yueju's sarcastic and playful expression, Lian Wu raised his thick yellow eyebrows and almost punched the latter directly. candle stub
Although the participants in the World Championships are strong players from all over the world...
But after all, it was only the first conference, it wasn't famous enough, and there weren't many strong people coming. It shouldn't be difficult for him to enter the top eight.
"Damn it, I was brought in by this guy... My goal is to be number one, what the top eight!"
In the end, Lian Wu glared at Yueju, this time he closed his eyes and crossed his chest, took a long breath, and stopped paying attention to the movements around him.
"What a boring guy~"
Seeing this, Huckleberry didn't say anything more.
But he also wanted to make a bet for himself, could he enter the quarterfinals? candle stub
"Ahem, let me tell you about this World Championship. There are 120 contestants in total. Counting the last 8 contestants born in the Youth Cup just now... there are exactly 128 contestants in the main draw!"
Adek in front was still introducing the rules, pointing his arm upward, and the names of 128 players suddenly appeared on the electronic screen above.
Due to the large number of people, not everyone showed their profile photos, and there was only one name on the electronic screen.
"Well, I see me..."
In the audience seat, Xiaozhi squinted his eyes and barely found himself among the many weird names.
Of course, Mingyi, Douzi and the others were all on top.
They had already submitted their qualification letters before and were officially registered. candle stub
Xiaozhi also saw many acquaintances on it, such as Xiaoxia and Miss Kona from the Kanto region.
The people from the Chengdu area next door seemed to be Ah Yin whom I had met before, and Miss Xiao Chun, the dragon attribute gym owner from the Yanmo Gym.
Xiaozhi was not sure if he had missed it, but the names of the 128 players were all crowded together and arranged randomly. There was no indication of which region they were from next to them, so it was very confusing...
...
"Listen to me, starting from tomorrow, these 128 players will be randomly paired with opponents for elimination and promotion rounds."
Mr. Adek suddenly raised a finger and added:
"The number of Pokémon each player can use is...1!"
These words immediately caused an uproar in the venue.
Although the initial game process of the alliance conference, 1v1 is not uncommon...
But now it is the World Championships, and every player who has qualified for the competition has a brush.
In the end, it was a life-and-death battle at the very beginning. If a Pokémon loses, will it be completely eliminated? !
"Once you start, you can't go back... It's really cruel."
This kind of competition system also allowed Xiaozhi to calm down a little.
The single-headed dragon will definitely not be able to play, and will not give any chance to warm up at all. candle stub
In other words, if the two kings face each other at the beginning, only one Pokémon can be used...it always feels very unscientific.
"Haha~"
Looking at the commotion in the audience, Adek just laughed and did not interrupt.
Nature cannot be completely random.
Otherwise, if the strong players collide with each other at the beginning and are unlucky to be eliminated, what else is there to see in this world championship?
Most of the 128 players participated through qualification letters, and naturally they all had background information.
Behind the scenes, they have roughly divided these 128 people into three levels. candle stub
Those in the T1 level are all kings from all over the world, or powerful trainers who have been famous for many years. They are also the absolute hot spots in the second half of this World Championship.
Adek himself or Xiaozhi, the king of passers-by, are also classified into this level.
The T2 level refers to mature and experienced gym leaders from various places, or elite trainers with good records.
For example, Xiaoxia, the leader of the Hualan Gym, and Douzi, who sent out the invitations personally from Adek, are all in this category.
The remaining players are in the T3 level, such as Youth Cup players Xiudi and Kenny Yang, they are all in it...
Of course, the classification of grades does not mean the actual strength of the players, it is just a basic reference.
In other words, the division of T2 and T3 players actually doesn't make much sense. candle stub
The only thing the World Championship officials did behind the scenes was to prevent T1 players from meeting each other in the first few rounds...
The matching battles of other players are completely random and will not interfere.
"Huh...Fortunately, I have prepared a few more candidates..."
Adek wiped his sweat and breathed a sigh of relief.
Not every trainer who had previously given letters of qualification was present.
He also specially found a few alliance staff with good combat effectiveness, and just put together this beautiful "128" number.
In this case, there is no need for an additional competition system. Each round of promotion and elimination will naturally determine the number one trainer in the world! candle stub
Of course, this "number one in the world" is currently only recognized by their United Alliance...
"128 goes into 64, and it will be a 1-on-1 battle. Similarly, 64 goes into 32, and players can only choose one Pokémon to play!"
Adek continued to introduce the rules.
Unlike the competition systems in other regions, which are as lengthy as the ones in other regions, their main focus in the United Region is simplicity and roughness.
"Then the top 32 will advance to the top 16, and the top 16 will advance to the top 8. The number of Pokémon players can use has been increased to 2!"
"There is no superior-subordinate relationship between each round... In the new round of promotion and elimination, opponents will be randomly matched again!"
"If you lose, you will be eliminated. This is true for any player, no exceptions!" Kai
The rather novel competition rules made Xiaozhi in the audience think carefully.
So there are really very few Pokémon that can be sent...
"Are you going to speed up the schedule?"
Next to him, Douzi was holding Rotom and staring at the screen.
What was playing on it at this moment was the footage of the World Championships far away in the Galar region.
Two conferences of the same nature are holding opening ceremonies at the same time!
"Hey, the ones introducing the rules on both sides are uncles~"
Mingyi leaned her head towards Xiaozhi across the middle, and when she looked at the screen, she couldn't help but complain.
The speaker of the Galar World Championship is not the league champion, but a middle-aged uncle wearing an off-white suit. His short black hair is parted in front of his forehead, and his expression and tone are quite greasy and coquettish.
"Well, it seems that both sides want to give birth to the first "world number one" earlier..."
Douzi paid attention to the situation on both sides and analyzed it.
