In a previous card-playing anime "Yu-Gi-Oh!", the protagonist Yugi Muto participated in two large-scale card games called "Duel City", and through these two games, he established his status as the strongest duelist in history.
Back to topic.
The rules of the Duel City Competition are very simple. Putting aside the details about card duels, they can be roughly divided into three points.
First: The qualifiers are held in the entire city.
Second: Participating duelists will receive a puzzle card in the initial stage. Through duels, that is, the outcome of the card game, they will obtain the puzzle cards of other duelists. The first eight people to collect six puzzle pieces within 48 hours Qualified for promotion.
Third: In each duel, there is no limit to the number of puzzle pieces bet in the duel. After the duel is over, the duel plate will display the location of the next stage of the competition.
According to Zhou Yichuan's story.
The location of this Pikachu Cup qualifier can be regarded as the entire Anping City to a certain extent.
In the initial stage, each contestant will receive two shining stars in the Pokémon Illustrated Book on their mobile phones. Later, they will be the first to obtain ten shining stars within a week through battles with other trainers. The trainer successfully advanced to the group stage.
As for the matching mechanism of the qualifiers, it is completely random. Participants need to automatically use a new function on the Pokédex to conduct an online lottery to match their opponents and their venues.
"It's completely the Elf version of the Duel City Tournament, and the shining stars, aren't they the Star Pieces in the Duelist Kingdom Chapter..."
Chen Mo murmured in his heart.
Zhou Yichuan next to him looked at Chen Mo's weird expression and thought that Chen Mo had some ideas about the plan that he and Hu Chengliang came up with.
"If you have any objections, just say it directly. What's the relationship between us? Besides, you are the organizer of this Pikachu Cup. Chengliang and I are both your subordinates."
"No, I just thought of some things from the past."
Chen Mo shook his head.
"You and Brother Hu both have good ideas. I will make an announcement when I get back tonight."
The two discussed some of the details for a long time.
The Yu-Gi-Oh Duel City Competition only lasts for two days, so it can be held on weekends without delaying the time of students and office workers.
But the pickup cup is different.
Playing cards basically does not require any physical strength, at least at this stage of the Duel City Qualifiers, but the battle between elves actually consumes the elves' physical strength, and even causes various injuries to the elves themselves.
Therefore, even if the elves have a strong ability to restore life, coupled with the help of the Elf Medical Center and the Geely Egg Clan, at least one week must be set aside for the entire qualifier to ensure that the trainer's elves can stay healthy. As for the damage to the body due to frequent battles.
certainly.
Allow a week and the problem arises again.
The current pace of life is so fast. Not everyone is from a rich second-generation family like Ah Hui and Chen Haoran. Most people have their own lives. Judging from the current plan, the Pikachu Cup will last at least half a month. time.
This half month will definitely have a certain impact on the lives of these people.
Some people sign up just on a whim, but as Chen Mo, who is organizing this Pikachu Cup, he naturally does not want to see many people abandon the competition on a large scale due to various reasons from the beginning of the qualifying round.
If you want to do it, do it well.
The Pikachu Cup qualifiers officially begin this Saturday.
Chen Mo doesn't have any financial pressure now. After discussing with Zhou Yichuan, he decided to use some of the funds to partially compensate the players who came to compete during the working days.
"You are so kind-hearted. Let's not mention the minors participating. Adults participating should consider the corresponding consequences."
Zhou Yichuan shook his head and looked at Chen Mo, who looked serious, as if he was already calculating how much money he should pay, and sighed softly in his heart.
"Okay, you don't need to spend this money. Seven days is indeed a long time. Chengliang and I will go back to the higher-ups and let us find a solution. As for you, you are back in the city, so you can rest assured. Rest and stop worrying so much.”
"..."
Just when Chen Mo was still about to say something, Pikachu's exclamation suddenly came from the distance.
See this.
Zhou Yichuan quickly urged.
"If you're worried, go and have a look. Call the Duck Duck over and tell him to get ready to go back."
"good."
Chen Mo didn't talk nonsense and walked straight to the direction where Pikachu made the sound.
Zhou Yichuan stood there with his head lowered, thinking about the issues Chen Mo just mentioned.
But that's it.
He casually glanced out of the corner of his eye and saw the round land shark standing with Absol not far away.
At this moment.
The two elves were sitting in front of an LCD TV hanging on the wall of the mall, watching something.
Zhou Yichuan walked over with a hint of curiosity, and soon discovered that what was playing on the TV was the Pikachu Cup promotional video that Chen Mo had shot some time ago.
"Stuck..."
Yuanlu Shark was fascinated.
Absolu next to him had a rather helpless expression.
Not long after the Round Shark came to this world, Absol felt a little uneasy about letting the Round Shark go around as an elf, so he thought of accompanying the Round Shark first, waiting for it to pick out what he wanted.
The result was unexpected.
After seeing the promotional video of Pikachu Cup, Round Shark stopped immediately.
Obviously I have seen it at home before...
"Roundland Shark, are you interested in this competition?"
A voice suddenly sounded from the side.
Absol, who had noticed Zhou Yichuan's approach a long time ago, raised his head slightly, glanced at Zhou Yichuan, and then quietly walked between Yuanlu Shark and Zhou Yichuan.
"..."
Zhou Yichuan's smile froze.
Are you serious about trying to protect the Round Land Shark? And what’s with those scrutinizing and vigilant eyes?
I'm a good friend of your trainer, not some bad guy who abducts other people's elves!
"well."
Zhou Yichuan took two steps back and spread his hands helplessly.
"I really don't have any ill intentions towards you. I just saw that Round Land Shark seems to care about this advertisement, so I wanted to ask if you are interested in this competition."
"Abo..."
Absolu usually had a cold face towards Chen Mo, but naturally he would not have a good look towards Zhou Yichuan, who obviously had bad thoughts.
Just when Absol was about to drive away the human in front of him, the round land shark next to him took the initiative to come out.
Looking at Zhou Yichuan, Yuanlusha hesitated for a moment and finally nodded.
"Crack."
As the youngest elf in the team, Yuanlu Shark can be said to have received a lot of care from other elves these days.
but.
Yuanlu Shark has always been a little melancholy.
Once in the elf egg, Round Shark was too afraid to be born because he sensed the aura of Zekrom, a legendary elf who also had dragon attributes.
After coming to this world, the round land shark has no memory of before hatching, but it feels extremely insecure inside.
This is also why the newly born round land sharks at that time were so sensitive.
During this period, under the care of Absolu and other elves, as well as Chen Mo, the Round Land Shark was no longer as afraid of the world as before, but there were still some sequelae.
in.
There is the fear of the round land shark due to its own lack of ability.
Especially after clearing up the misunderstanding with Pikachu and the others, and hearing about the ideals of his trainer and the hardships along the way on the way home, the Round Shark became even more frightened.
to be honest.
The Yuanlu Shark felt very happy being by Chen Mo's side, but it was also afraid that Chen Mo would abandon it because it was too weak.
After all, looking at the companions around him, which one is not superior in strength, the Round Land Shark only feels that he is so far away from them.
therefore.
In order to show his role, when Zhou Yichuan challenged Chen Mo a few days ago, Yuanlu Shark took the initiative to stand up.
Yuan Lusha wants to make Chen Mo understand by winning the battle.
I still have a little bit of use.
At that time, Yuanlusha, who won the match with Nidorino and received praise from Chen Mo, just felt that he owned the whole world.
But then, a training session at night made the round land shark feel like it was struck by lightning.
Chen Mo did not include himself in the training list arranged by Chen Mo.
Little Shark stopped thinking.
Sitting alone and watching the round land sharks being trained by my companions, I just felt that I was so far away from them.
Want to become stronger.
Yuanlusha really wants to become stronger and prove his worth.
therefore.
When he saw the Pikachu in the promotional video of the Pikachu Cup, Pikachu became extremely powerful by challenging each powerful enemy, Roundland Shark was so envious.
It regretted it a bit.
It was too late for me to come to this world, and it was too late to meet Chen Mo.
"..."
Standing in front of Yuanlu Shark, Zhou Yichuan naturally did not expect that the little shark in front of him had such intense psychological activities in his heart.
He actually came here to have fun.
Because Chen Mo made it clear that he would not participate in the Pikachu Cup, Zhou Yichuan had been feeling a little regretful. Finally, after Hu Chengliang mentioned a special event that Chen Mo could challenge as a champion, his mood improved slightly.
now.
After seeing the Round Shark who was full of curiosity about the Pikachu Cup, Zhou Yichuan's originally extinguished idea was rekindled at this time.
Chen Mo just said that he would not participate in the competition, but he did not say that his elf could not participate in the competition on his own.
hey-hey.
If Yuanlu Shark is tricked into participating in the Pikachu Cup, it will definitely be very interesting when Chen Mo finds out about it.
Zhou Yichuan, who was thinking this way, couldn't help but reveal a smile that, in Absol's opinion, was completely perverted.
"Abo Abo." (Roundland Shark, let's stay away from this strange human being.)
Seeing that Absol wanted to leave with the Round Land Shark, Zhou Yichuan, who felt that time was tight, quickly returned to his serious look, looked at the Round Land Shark, and said seriously.
"If you are interested in the Pikachu Cup, I have a way for you to participate in this competition."
"Ouch!?" (Really!?)
Yuanlu Shark's eyes suddenly lit up.
But then.
It remembered what Chen Mo said before about not participating in the competition, and its expression suddenly became tangled again, and it couldn't help but lower its head.
"Kaao kaao..." (Let's forget it...)
Although he didn't know what Yuanlu Shark was talking about, Zhou Yichuan, who had been in contact with elves for so long, could still guess a thing or two by looking at Yuanlu Shark's current movements and expressions.
A newborn elf.
Very deceptive.
Zhou Yichuan spoke up again.
"The reason why your trainers are unwilling to participate in this competition is because they feel that Pikachu and Absol are too powerful. Participating in such a competition will basically not bring much improvement to them. But Yuanlusha, you are different, you have just been born, now is the period of rapid growth in strength, and this kind of competition is suitable for you to exercise."
"Stuck..."
Yuanlu Shark couldn't help but show a slightly moved expression on his face.
Zhou Yichuan's words undoubtedly touched on what Yuanlusha was most concerned about.
Just when Zhou Yichuan was about to take advantage of the victory and pursue the victory, Absol next to him couldn't sit still.
"Abo Abo!" (Don't listen to him!)
At this point, you still want to run?
Zhou Yichuan turned to look at Absolu and said seriously.
"Absolu, I understand your thoughts and how much you care about Yuanlu Shark, but if you think about it carefully, can you or Chen Mo protect Yuanlu Shark all the time? "
"The round land shark also needs to grow up. If you protect it blindly, it will only delay the round land shark."
"Absol, you don't want the Round Land Shark to end up being a companion that can do nothing and can only continue to hold us back under your care."
Absolu hesitated amid Zhou Yichuan's machine gun-like words.
finally.
It looked at the round land shark next to it.
"Abo." (The choice is yours.)
this moment.
Under the gazes of Zhou Yichuan and Absolu, the round land shark lowered its head and thought a lot. Then, it raised its head, its expression became extremely serious, and it nodded slightly towards Zhou Yichuan.
Done!
A smile appeared on Zhou Yichuan's face.
But that's it.
Yuanlu Shark's expression began to become a little nervous again.
"Stuck..." (What should Chen Mo do if he finds out about this...)
Thinking of this, Yuanlu Shark couldn't help but turn around and subconsciously looked in the direction where Chen Mo had just left to look for Pikachu and the others.
See this.
Zhou Yichuan, who still didn't know what the little shark was thinking, leaned down and spoke slowly in a seductive voice that sounded like it came from a devil.
"It's okay, just don't let him know."
at this time.
A voice rang from the side.
"Don't let anyone know what?"
"..."
Zhou Yichuan's smile froze.
Turned.
Chen Mo, who was accompanied by a group of elves and his own duck, appeared behind him at some unknown time.
Zhou Yichuan quickly straightened up, glanced at Yuanlu Shark and Absol who were also a little nervous next to him, coughed slightly, and caught a glimpse of Suicune's special version of the crystal ball on the counter next to him, and quickly changed the subject. .
"It's like this. I saw that Absol seemed to like this crystal ball a little bit, so I wanted to buy it as a gift to it. But it turned out that it probably thought it was your elf and was too embarrassed to accept my gift, so it refused. "
"So you still want to give it away by force?"
Chen Mo couldn't help but frowned.
I didn’t expect that a guy like you, with thick eyebrows and big eyes, would have such an intention towards my elf!
"Absolu, I'll buy it for you. Stay away from this guy from now on."
"Don't be like this, I really don't have any other intention. I just saw that the fur on Absolu's body seemed to be very comfortable to touch, and I just wanted to get close to it and let me touch it..."
"Go away, Absol is my elf, I can only touch it!"
"..."
the other side.
Looking at the noisy Chen Mo and Zhou Yichuan, Absolu and Yuanlu Shark, who knew they had made a mistake, lowered their heads with uneasiness and did not dare to say a word.
