After the opening ceremony, the first day of the preliminaries would begin.
The winners of the preliminaries would advance to the top 64 and compete in a 3v3 elimination round.
Xiaozhi, Shinji, and the others went to different venues, and the tourists also scattered from the main hall to different venues.
Since Mr. Lu had the privilege of being a seeded player, he could watch the competition on the first day leisurely.
"Are we going to watch Xiaozhi's competition?" Since he had nothing to do, Lu Ye looked at Sheba, who was next to him with his arms crossed.
Sheba's face was calm. He crossed his muscular arms, and his strong chest was exposed to the sun.
Lu Ye suspected that fighters had a habit of tearing their clothes off, so he simply didn't wear any clothes.
Sheba and Ah Si … all had this problem. The girls represented by Cai Dou and Kerni wore competitive vests.
As for Ah Li, who wore a pink vest … Oh, that was because she couldn't afford to buy clothes.
"Okay." Sheba nodded slightly and reached into his dirty white pants pocket.
Lu Ye thought he was going to take out a three-section stick, but instead, he took out a steamed bun and stuffed it into his mouth.
"Hmm …" Sheba glanced at Lu Ye and handed him another steamed bun. "Do you want it?"
Lu Ye declined his kindness.
Behind Sheba was Monster Strength with bulging muscles. Behind Mr. Lu was Geng Gui who was "swimming."
On the way to the venue, they attracted a lot of attention.
The two were used to it. They walked into the stands through the audience passage and arrived at their seats.
However, when Sheba sat down, there was no one in the four or five seats around him.
Lu Ye: "…"
Sheba: "They seem to be afraid of me?"
Lu Ye: "… You won't be if you put on your clothes."
Of course, the audience would stay away from a shirtless man with scars all over his body and a face full of hostility!
"I didn't bring a change of clothes. (̄ ~ ̄) "Sheba chewed on the dirty steamed bun and said vaguely.
Lu Ye: "…"
What a minimalist.
However, with Sheba, this "bodyguard," the audience's view was much wider.
"Next, let's welcome contestant Little Zhi from Really New Village to the stage!" the commentator said loudly.
Amidst the cheers, Lu Ye said to Sheba.
"They all have eight badges, but the level of the players is also uneven. Xiaozhi's opponent this time …"
Sheba listened to Mr. Lu's explanation and nodded from time to time. He felt that Mr. Lu was much more professional than the live commentary.
"Mr. Lu," Sheba interrupted. "Have you ever considered becoming a commentator?"
"After all …" Sheba clenched his fists and coughed. He said in a low voice, "I feel that your opponent's experience in the competition was very poor."
Hearing this, Lu Ye raised his eyebrows.
Commentate?
It seemed like a good proposal.
As a Master Tactician, his understanding and judgment were naturally much better than the commentators. In the future, if he did not participate in the Baby Cup (crossed out) … Alliance Conference, it was not impossible for him to become a commentator.
"I will consider it." Lu Ye nodded.
While they were chatting, Xiaozhi had successfully won the preliminaries. He was so excited that he high-fived Pikachu.
Lu Ye and Sheba followed the crowd out of the stadium and started a group chat.
Looking through the chat history, he found that Ami had arrived at Lily of the Valley and was now with Xiao Lan.
This shy and cute girl with a big stomach took the initiative to help Xiao Lan promote her business, which unexpectedly had a good effect.
Sheba chewed on the Angry Steamed Bun and said vaguely, "Then, I'll go back first, Mr. Lu …"
Lu Ye nodded and looked at Sheba's burly back. He was about to say that the hotel was not in that direction —
"That's the route to the merchant area."
Lu Ye suddenly realized that Sheba was going to buy the freshly baked Angry Steamed Bun. He touched his chin.
"If Rocket can successfully go on the market, you, Sheba, will have a share of the credit …"
…
At dusk, the first day of the preliminaries came to an end.
Xiaozhi, Shinji, and the others advanced without any suspense. The draw for the top 64 was also officially announced.
Lu Ye stood on the grassy lawn and looked at the huge vertical screen, on which the contestants' avatars were grouped in pairs.
"I'm matched with Kauping … This name sounds familiar," Lu Ye murmured. "Is it one of the extras in the original game?"
Xiaozhi and Shinji were not matched together. They exchanged glances and left to prepare for battle.
Unexpectedly, they both walked to Lu Ye's side.
"Why are you here?" Xiaozhi was startled.
"I have a question to ask." Shinji looked up at Lu Ye with a cold face.
"Sensei." Shinji bowed and asked in a cold tone, "I want to ask you, what is the real way to get along with Pokémon?"
This question had been bothering Shinji, and it made him suffer.
Shinji could not "love" like Xiaozhi. He believed that his relationship with Pokémon was nothing more than that of a coach and a player.
It was understandable that a cold coach would choose talented players to reach the top of the league.
However, there were also trainers like Xiaozhi who became friends with Pokémon.
Shinji was confused for a moment. He raised his head and almost questioned Mr. Lu.
"This is the question that Dr. Ohki has been searching for."
Lu Ye pondered for a moment and said slowly, "What kind of relationship should there be between a trainer and a Pokémon … How can this relationship be improved? There are different viewpoints and different training methods. "
"There is no one way that is absolutely correct." Lu Ye smiled. "There are always pros and cons … The key is to find the most suitable relationship for you."
Shinji fell silent. Mr. Lu said, "I look forward to the moment when you use Mega Evolution, Shinji."
"I believe that at that time, your relationship with Pokémon and your own strength will have a new breakthrough," Lu Ye said with a smile.
Shinji slowly clenched his fists. He took a deep look at Xiaozhi, bowed, and left.
Maybe I can't get Mr. Lu's approval now.
However, Pokémon and I also have a unique "relationship" that is unique to us.
Xiaozhi stayed where he was and looked at Shinji's back thoughtfully.
The growth that Shinji brought to him was even greater than the teachings of Cyan Green and Lu Ye.
"I will definitely defeat him," Xiaozhi said to Lu Ye.
"I won't necessarily cheer for you," Lu Ye said with a smile. "Because I admire Shinji's tactical skills …"
Xiaozhi nodded in understanding.
"Besides, I'm also here to win the championship," Lu Ye said.
Xiaozhi scratched his head in relief and said with a smile, "Then let's wait until the finals, Mr. Lu!"
Lu Ye lightly bumped fists with Xiao Zhi and left through the contestant passage, muttering to himself,
He muttered to himself, "In the next round, let's send Baby Kirath!"
Sending a baby to play the Pokémon Cup … This was quite reasonable!
Not far away, a young man wearing glasses wanted to cry but had no tears.
His name was Kaupin, and he was a trainer who specialized in space tactics.
In addition, he had also been enlightened by Mr. Lu's tactics.
He didn't expect to be matched with the demon king in the first round of the competition!
"Calm down, calm down!"
Kaupin patted his cheeks, took a deep breath, and pushed his glasses up.
"While Mr. Lu underestimates the enemy, I might be able to win a point … probably!"
**
As night fell, Lu Ye returned to his residence and mentioned Shinji and Xiaozhi to Sirona.
"I'm also paying attention to the two of them."
Sirona rested her hand on her chin and smiled slightly.
"Different trainers, different Pokémon … I'm also looking forward to what kind of sparks will fly when they meet."
"Aren't you looking forward to my next round?"
Lu Ye said in surprise, "We're both players with eight badges, so we should be evenly matched!"
Mr. Lu did think so … After all, the name "Kaupin" was a bit familiar. To be able to play a minor role in the competition, he might be a powerful character.
Let the young Kyras take the lead — if not, send the Water Arrow Turtle!
This was Mr. Lu, who had become more and more stable after defeating Zeus …
Sirona rolled her eyes at Lu Ye.
If it weren't for the fact that only the champion of the competition was qualified to challenge the Heavenly King, she would have wanted Lu Ye to directly enter the Champions League.
However, his words were not without reason.
Sirona was gradually infected. Her eyes flashed slightly, and she muttered, "Indeed, you need to be prepared …"
If Kaupin knew that two champions were so concerned about him, he would definitely cry.
It's worth it, my life is worth it!
**
The next day, at the Lily of the Valley Conference.
The top 64 advanced to the top 32. At the competition venue.
According to the situation in the qualifiers, Kaupin was good at space tactics, and his trump card was the Dark Night Demon Spirit. At first glance, it was obvious that he was a player who was good at playing dirty.
Lu Ye raised his guard and slowly walked out of the players' passage. The cheers gradually became real and enthusiastic.
"He's here, that man brought the baby to the League Conference!"
"I haven't heard about Mr. Lu's feat of reaching the top of the Quartz Plateau for five minutes!"
"Let's go to the Water Cannon Miss, Mr. Lu is defeated!"
The cheers came one after another, drowning the two trainers on the field like a tide.
Kaupin stiffly pushed the frame of his glasses up and stared at Mr. Lu in front of him.
Take advantage of his carelessness and get one point to win!
"Players from both sides, please send out your sprites!" the referee ordered.
Lu Ye became more and more stable. He threw out the Dark Ball, and a beam of white light flew out.
"Go, Young Kirath!"
In the white light, a young Kirath with green armor, red abdominal scales, and a blunt horn on the top of his head appeared.
"Yoo! (▼ ∀ ▼ ∀) "
The audience let out a low exclamation that was unexpected yet reasonable.
"Is he really using the League Conference to level up?!"
"Because the young Kirath is slow, he can attack faster in space. This time, Mr. Lu is very high!"
"Although it's a Quasi God cub, it's still inexperienced … the possibility of failure is not small, right?"
"Maybe he deliberately didn't let the young Kirath evolve and waited until the conference to evolve to full HP and MP!"
"Hiss — so dirty!!"
Listening to the discussion of the audience in the front row, Lu Ye's eyelids twitched.
From the way he said it, it was obvious that he was an old friend!
"Go, Kettle!" Kaupin threw the Pokeball.
Boom!
When Kettle fell to the ground, it made a deep pit. It was clear that its shell was sturdy and its defense was amazing.
The next moment, Kettle's shell glowed with a cold metallic luster. It directly began the "Iron Wall" enhancement!
"This is also an old friend!" the audience exclaimed.
"It's disgusting!"
"I suggest Mr. Lu teach him on the spot what a master of viscera is!"
It could be dirty, but there was no need.
Lu Ye made a big move and clenched his hand into a fist.
"Doragon, die!!!"
The trump card of the dragon series, increasing speed and destructiveness, Dragon's Dance!!
"Why are you shouting so loudly!"
"This young Kirath also learned Dragon's Dance?!"
"Oh no, the opponent is a space team!"
A fierce red light rose around the young Kirath. The young Kirath jumped on the ground, raised its head, and cried, "Yoo!!"
Hungry Dragon's Roar!
The violent tremors on the ground even affected Kettle, and the corners of Kaupin's eyes twitched.
Your "Dragon's Dance" also has a heavy stomp effect?!
When you evolve into Bankyras, won't the ground crack?!
"Yoo! (▼ ∀ ▼ ∀) "
With a crack, the young Kirath waved his surging fist and smashed it into the ground with a bang. Gravel wrapped in white light rose from the ground, and the white light turned into a large number of rocks that flew out and fell from the sky!
Rumble!
Rockslide!!
Kettle shrank back into its shell, but it was still buried by the large number of rocks. As it cried out, its shell faintly cracked!
This was Kettle with "Iron Wall" enhanced on both sides!
Kaupin's eyelids twitched, and he said nervously, "Spiral Ball!"
Kettle spun up and escaped from the rock layer, turning into a beam of red light and being returned to the Pokeball by Kaupin.
No matter what, this was also within my tactical considerations!
Gazing at the young Kirath who was moving at an astonishing speed, Kaupin threw the Pokeball. "Go, Dark Night Demon Spirit!"
A strange black fog filled the field, and Dark Night Demon Spirit appeared out of thin air, staring at the young Kirath with his single eye as he waved his two giant palms.
Both of their commands sounded at the same time.
Kaupin: "Trick Space!"
Lu Ye: "Provoke!"
In an instant, Kaupin's face turned pale as he looked at Mr. Lu, who had a focused expression.
He didn't let down his guard at all!
He had been anticipating the timing of my "Trick Space"!
"Tsk … Sure enough, the Space team hid Provoke!"
"Mr. Lu's classic prediction!"
Dark Night Demon Spirit was about to wave his giant palms, but he saw the young Kirath with his hands on his hips, staring at him proudly. "Yoo!"
Improud _ whatareyougoingtodoaboutit?
"Provoke" was one of the most feared moves of almost all Space players.
The audience also understood the battle situation according to the commentary.
"Who are you playing tactics in front of?"
"I'm still not as dirty as you, Mr. Lu!"
Dark Night Demon Spirit's forehead twitched, and his figure approached the young Kirath like a ghost.
At this point, he had no choice but to attack. Kaupin roared, "Dark Night Demon Spirit, Shadow Punch!"
Dark Night Demon Spirit's fist gathered an afterimage, wrapped in white light, and swung toward the young Kirath.
"Bite it to pieces!"
The young Kirath opened his bloody mouth and flew toward Dark Night Demon Spirit, biting his spirit-shaped fist directly!
"Shadow Punch … seems to have been directly bitten to pieces?" the commentator said in a daze.
Kaupin held his face with both hands, doubting his life.
"This move of yours is illegal, Mr. Lu!!"
Lu Ye smiled awkwardly. There were many illegal moves …
Bang!!
Dust flew, and Dark Night Demon Spirit lay on the ground, his eyes full of circles.
The young Kirath smacked his lips. "Yoo ~"
It didn't taste good …
Kaupin's expression was strange, and he immediately let out a long sigh.
No matter what, he was facing Mr. Lu …
It wasn't embarrassing to have his tactical intentions seen through!
"Go, Big Tongue!" Kaupin said, "Use Belly Drum!"
White light flashed, and Big Tongue appeared on the field.
Dong dong dong!
As the Belly Drum sounded, Big Tongue's eyes gradually turned red, and he roared angrily.
He couldn't open up space, so he chose to attack by force?
Lu Ye issued the command of Dragon's Dance with the help of "Superpower."
The young Kirath stepped on the ground, his forehead glowing with a sharp light, and his aura rose by another level.
Under the astonished gazes of the audience, the young Kirath picked up a rock stratum, suddenly jumped up, and swung the "brick" at Big Tongue!
Kaupin's expression changed slightly. "Dodge!"
Bang!!
However, Big Tongue had no room to turn around at all. The rock stratum shattered, and the latter staggered and fell to the ground.
When dealing with space, he used provocation, and when dealing with force, he used an even fiercer counterattack!
Mr. Lu perfectly displayed the basic qualities of a Master Tactician.
Kaupin, who was read by a long-range attacker, wanted to cry but had no tears. The last Kettle was also covered under the rock stratum.
"Winner," the referee said. "Lu Ye!"
"Yoo ~" the young Kirath shouted and raised a hand.
Lu Ye couldn't help but laugh, and cheers came from all around.
"F * ck! This is a live lesson! "
"It's really not a loss. I also want to be taught a lesson."
"Here it comes, the tradition of every Baby Cup!"
Kaupin collected his emotions, shook hands with Lu Ye, and said with tears in his eyes.
"I'm still not as dirty as you, Mr. Lu!"
"… That doesn't sound like a good thing."
"Truth!"
…
The first day of the competition came to an end.
Mr. Lu advanced to the top 32, but it caused widespread discussion outside the competition.
According to the post-match review, all the players reached a consensus.
When encountering Mr. Lu, they could either directly attack and quickly push forward.
Or they could directly surrender, so that they could still buy a ticket home.
They couldn't play tricks in front of him … Otherwise, they would be clearly arranged!
"The good news is that Mr. Lu only brought the Baby Team. The bad news is that Geng Gui also counts as a Baby."
"The arrangements for the top 16 are out. Mr. Lu VS Minstrel Shang Zhi!"
Shang Zhi was a coordinator. His playing style was gorgeous, and he was humble. He was widely praised.
Of course, Mr. Lu also had a lot of fans who knew him through the gorgeous competition.
"A gorgeous battle …"
Lu Ye looked at Pokeby's Pokeball and fell into deep thought.
As everyone knew, there were many types of fighting styles for trainers.
Xiaozhi's "all tactics change," Shinji's "rotation, scattering nails, and joint defense" …
Mr. Lu could use all of these very well.
Of course, as a master of coordination, Mr. Lu's playing style could occasionally be gorgeous —
Lu Ye: "Elegance will never go out of style!"
The onion ranger soldier felt that it was very praiseworthy. "Ga ~ (????????
