Little by little, Kaede Sato stepped into the Battle Tower. As he was not famous, his departure did not cause the slightest disturbance in the bustling scene. It was like a drop of water falling into the sea.
Most of the people had left in order to witness Cirona's glory. When Kaede Sato entered the Battle Tower, the first floor was empty. Apart from the attendants who kept glancing outside, he was the only outsider here.
"Hello, sir. How may I help you?"
Although Betty, the receptionist, really wanted to go out and get Cirona's autograph, for the sake of this month's full attendance bonus and the new cosmetics on the market, she hesitated for a long time and resisted the crazy idea of neglecting her duties during working hours. When she saw someone coming, she immediately perked up and asked with a professional smile.
It was a rather handsome young man with an oval face and a pair of straight eyebrows. Although the hairstylist could not find a good style for his jet-black hair, his pair of eyes that were as deep as black gems and the aura of a powerhouse he exuded made her heart beat wildly.
"Hello, beautiful lady. I want to apply to be a member of the Battle Tower. This is my temporary ID card. Please help me. If possible, I would like to have an elf competition tonight."
Kaede Sato did not understand why the good-looking girl in front of him would suddenly blush when she saw him. However, he did not think too much about it and went straight to the point.
As soon as he finished speaking, Kaede Sato placed the temporary ID card and four pokeballs on the counter.
Yes, everyone was right. This time, Kaede Sato only applied to register four elves. They were Nidoran, Kati, Marsh Leaping Fish, and Gleaming Long-Winged Gull.
The main reason why Kaede Sato made this choice was that he wanted to complete the deceptive mission of winning 10 matches as soon as possible. There was a more open system in the Battle Tower, and that was the combat strength evaluation system.
The so-called combat strength evaluation was based on the combat strength of the elves registered by the trainer in the Battle Tower. Any trainer who applied to join the Battle Tower for the first time would have the benefit of such a combat strength evaluation.
Although this assessment of combat strength was only a rough estimate, it allowed many powerful trainers to avoid starting from the first floor. It could save a lot of time for powerful trainers to climb up the tower one floor at a time.
Kaede Sato currently had two level-30 elves and most of the rest were level-20 elves. According to some simple numerical indicators given in the Larus City Guidebook, his current combat strength was about 2000.
(Note: 500 combat strength for elves between level 30 and 40, 300 combat strength for elves between level 20 and 30, and 100 combat strength for elves between level 10 and 20.)
How many floors of the Battle Tower could one start climbing with 2000 combat strength? According to the division of 500 combat strength on each floor, Kaede Sato would start climbing the tower from the fourth floor.
Of course, this so-called numerical division of 500 combat strength was only something given by the Larus City officials. It was far from the real combat strength of the trainer. Trainers and elves were both living creatures, and the combat strength formed by the combination of both was difficult to estimate.
Now that Kaede Sato had taken out three elves above level 20 and one above level 10, he roughly estimated that his combat strength was around 1000, so he would usually start climbing the tower from the third floor.
In fact, the Battle Tower's combat system was based on the combat strength values left by the trainer in the Battle Tower to match opponents.
After all, what the audience wanted to watch was an evenly matched battle. That kind of one-sided battle was too boring. It would make them feel that their consumption was not worth it. Therefore, under normal circumstances, the opponent's strength would not be too much lower than yours, nor would it be too much higher than yours.
Kaede Sato now did not want the two level-30 elves to cause a serious imbalance in the team's combat strength. This would cause his opponents to appear polarized in the Battle Tower. If he encountered an opponent who was restrained by two level-30 elves, he would naturally win easily, but if he encountered an opponent who was restrained by two level-30 elves, he would be miserably beaten up.
Average was the key. As long as the combat strength of the various elves in the team was not too different and maintained an average level, such a team would not be afraid of easily suffering a Waterloo because of a certain shortcoming.
In addition to the goal of completing the 10-win streak mission as soon as possible, Kaede Sato also wanted to carry out a big training for the low-end combat strength members of the team in the Battle Tower. The Battle Tower was a very good combat platform. As long as they were not afraid of suffering, the trainer and the elves could quickly grow here. (This isn't like a game where experience isn't given.)
After receiving a sentence of praise from a beautiful lady, Betty, the receptionist who had been working in the Battle Tower for nearly a year, did not let Kaede Sato wait for long. After spending nearly two minutes, she helped Kaede Sato complete the registration procedures for the Battle Tower's trainers and quickly arranged an elf battle for him.
"Mr. Sato, this is your identity card in the Battle Tower. With it, you can freely enter and exit the contestants' rest and entry areas. Because your current combat strength is 1123, your starting point will be from the third floor. Your first battle will also begin on the third floor. The time is 8: 30 PM. Please remember the time to enter the arena. I wish you the best of luck in your first battle."
After Betty handed back Kaede Sato's temporary identity card and four pokeballs, she also handed him a silver card and said to him with a slightly red face.
"Thank you for your auspicious words, beautiful lady." Kaede Sato smiled faintly when he heard her. He quickly put away the things on the counter and walked to the contestants' exclusive elevator in the lobby.
Kaede Sato smoothly entered the contestants' rest room on the third floor of the Battle Tower. After waiting for more than ten minutes, he heard his name from the lounge's broadcast.
After receiving the staff's instructions, Kaede Sato smoothly passed through the contestants' passage and arrived at the battle arena. He looked around and saw only a small arena the size of half a basketball court. There were only a few spectators in the auditorium.
"This is my starting point in the Battle Tower. Soon, I will definitely fill this auditorium with spectators cheering for me. This is a wonderful life, hahaha ~ ~ ~"
Kaede Sato withdrew his gaze from his surroundings. When he thought of the huge audience cheering for him on the television screen, he couldn't help but feel a surge of pride in his heart. An excited smile appeared on his face.
At this time, Kaede Sato's opponent also stepped onto the platform and looked at him from afar. After the two contestants were in position, the referee standing in the center of the arena impatiently waved the small flag in his hand, signaling the start of the battle.
Low-level dueling arenas did not have any special treatment. Even the dueling arena was the most ordinary deep sand. Therefore, as long as the opponent was in place, the duel could start immediately. In order to maintain fairness, the trainers of both sides had to send out their Wisps to duel.
(Note: Every floor of the Battle Tower is at least three stories high, and the anti-vibration facilities are very strong. There is no need to worry about the Battle Tower being destroyed by the Wisps.)
"Come out, Marsh Leaping Fish."
"Crush him, Giant Rock Snake."
As soon as the referee's voice fell, Kaede Sato and his opponent immediately threw out the Pokeballs in their hands, releasing the Wisps inside them.
In the next second, the Marsh Leaping Fish's sturdy body and the Giant Rock Snake's huge body appeared on the arena one after another. A three-on-three battle had officially begun.
Bang! Bang! Bang! Bang! The entire third floor of the Battle Pagoda trembled slightly.
Two minutes later, the Giant Rock Snake, with many cracks all over its body, fell to the Marsh Leaping Fish's heavy ice fist. The Marsh Leaping Fish stood on the Giant Rock Snake's head with a cold expression.
Four minutes later, the injured Marsh Leaping Fish slowly withdrew his iron fist that was emitting a chilling light. In front of him was a Bamboo Hat Mushroom. The Bamboo Hat Mushroom's entire body was now stuck to the cracked wall at the edge of the arena. Many parts of its body were covered in mud and ice.
Five minutes later, the arena had become a swamp. In the swamp, the Marsh Leaping Fish happily swam through it, while the Hunting Swallowtail Butterfly lay trembling in the swamp.
In the first match of the Battle Tower, Kaede Sato used the Marsh Leaping Fish to end the short Wisps battle in a dominating manner.
In the end, under the dumbfounded gaze of the referee and audience, Kaede Sato calmly walked into the contestant passage with the Marsh Leaping Fish brimming with fighting spirit.
After a while, enthusiastic applause spread through the contestant passage.
