It all starts with helping Pokémon

Chapter 384 Little Umali Foursome, Galar's Formidable Opponent
On November 11th, this day is undoubtedly the day with the most traffic in the Alola region since it was opened to the outside world in the past few decades. Not only the roads and streets in the towns are densely packed, but even the ports and docks are full of boats.

All the police and volunteers in the entire area participated in the work of maintaining order. Although it was indeed very hard work, they were all happy about it, because on this day, their hometown finally had a Pokémon League...

The Alliance Headquarters located in Mount Lanakira has officially started operations. However, the candidate for the Alliance President has not yet been decided. Because it has just begun and there are many things to be dealt with, the four island kings will jointly do it for the time being. decision making.

The Kapu Village at the foot of the mountain has also been rebuilt, and it is open to the public as a free tourist attraction, where you can take a cable car to the top of the mountain. Today, this is also the place where the most media gather.

After all, the last time the Pokémon Alliance was established was in the Padia area more than ten years ago. Now it is the era of Internet development, and it is normal to have such unprecedented excitement.

As the chairman of the Ethereum Foundation, Hoshino was invited here, and there were various topics about him, but he didn't bother to pay attention to other people, and someone would come to help deal with these media.

Alliances from other regions also sent some people here, including many acquaintances of Hoshino, such as Xiaoguang and the others.

Logically speaking, Zhulan should also come, but due to the matter of the Rainbow Rockets, the league champions in all regions are focusing on dealing with it and looking for clues about this group of people, so they are too busy to come for the time being.

The ribbon-cutting ceremony for the establishment of the alliance is also very simple. Basically, it is a process, and then it is enough to announce some things to the media and trainers, and explain the key points, such as the Four Heavenly Kings and the gymnasium.

The candidates for the Four Heavenly Kings have already been decided, and they are also directly disclosed to the public. At first they planned to let the four island kings take over, but in the end, due to various reasons, only Lizi from Akara Island became the first generation of Four Heavenly Kings.

As for the others...

Hara had too many things to do and couldn't find time to be the Four Heavenly Kings, so he decided to let Dr. Kukui replace him.

But the doctor's child has just been born, and he plans to continue teaching at Pokémon School. He doesn't have much time, so he finally recommends his friend Ma Ruiyin who has traveled together to be the Four Heavenly Kings.

As for the fact that Merdan was simply playing badly, he had done his duty in establishing the alliance and didn't want to get involved with the Four Heavenly Kings' affairs, so he recommended Acerola to come over, and it happened that this little girl was also very energetic.

Hapuu is also too busy. Not only is he responsible for the construction of Poni Island, but he also has to deal with the affairs of the battle tree, so he really has no time.

But one of the Four Heavenly Kings cannot be missing, so Dr. Kukui helped and invited the famous professional golf player Kahili to be the Four Heavenly Kings.

The other party is the daughter of a rich man in Alola Akara Island. Although she often wanders in other areas and rarely returns to Alola area, she is a very strong trainer herself, with enough strength!
In this way, the list of the four heavenly kings of the Alola Alliance is all made public, although there are some disputes, such as Acerola... A little girl who didn't show anything came.

But Mengmeng is enough, Mengmeng is innocent. As the Four Heavenly Kings, these people represent the strength of the top trainers in the Alola region. If you question the strength, just challenge them.

And it has also been introduced. Regarding the Pokémon League in the Alola region, compared with other regions, the challenge regulations are different. First of all, the challenge of the gymnasium and the badge of the gymnasium have been cancelled, and it has been changed to a tour of the islands with more local characteristics. It is very bold. innovation.

That is to say, the eight gymnasium challenges become the captain's test, and the commemorative gymnasium badge becomes the Z pure crystal with the captain's special symbol engraved with the captain's certificate.

There are seven captains in total. They will test the trainers participating in the island tour together with Alola's unique Overlord Pokémon. Only after passing all of them can they find the only overlord Pokémon without a captain for the final test.

This is the process of the pilgrimage to the islands. It is actually similar to the setting of challenging gyms in other regions to obtain 8 badges. The only difference is that you need to run around to participate in the test in the pilgrimage to the islands.

At the same time, there will also be some restrictions on foreign trainers, so as not to swarm all of them. The area of ​​Alola is too small to accommodate so many people. It is also to protect the wild environment. These are understandable, and each has its own rule.

Although this completely different rule change made many trainers a little confused after hearing it, but after understanding the meaning, they also found it quite interesting, and they were tired of always challenging gyms and so on.

So what if there is no gym challenge, the Galar region doesn’t even have the Four Heavenly Kings at all, so in Galar theory, it is the easiest to become the league champion.

There is no need to fight against the Four Heavenly Kings, just participate in the competition and win the current champion. As for whether you can win or not, it is another matter...

The identities of the seven captains were also announced directly. All of them were selected by the king of the island. They were all masters with a single attribute and proficient in Z moves, and they had to be strong and get along well with the overlord...there were too many requirements.

Melomele Island has a captain, Ilima who returned from studying in Miare City, Carlos, and is currently working part-time as a teacher at the Pokémon School.

There are three captains on Akara Island, all of whom are students of the Pokémon School who graduated in the same class, Suiren, Kaki, and Mao. The three of them have returned from their travels and are contributing to the Alola Alliance.

There are two captains on Ula Ula Island, Mamane, who graduated from the same class, and Acerola, who works part-time in multiple jobs in order to make money to buy comics... So don't ask why the Four Heavenly Kings appeared again.

The last captain is on Poni Island. Although she has no sense of existence, her works are famous all over the world. The painter Jasmine was also selected last. I heard that Hapuu plans to take her as the next captain. Queen of the islands to cultivate...

The island tour will officially start at the beginning of next year, so trainers who are interested in participating can already prepare for the Alola tour next year in advance, or directly participate in the challenge this year!

The captain and the Four Heavenly Kings have their own affairs, so they will not come to participate in the competition. Now the trainers in the Alola region are all focusing on the challenge, and they are bound to become the champions.

So many trainers who left Alola are now returning to their hometown for this goal. Anyway, they must not let the championship be taken away by people from other regions. A bunch of trainers from other places came to Alola to beg for food. !

The Challenger League hasn't even started yet, so it can be said that the flames of war have already been ignited...

After the ribbon-cutting ceremony that morning, the official website of the Alola Alliance announced the rules and related matters of the challenge. The opening ceremony will be held this afternoon, and then the knockout round will officially start tomorrow, so that all contestants are ready.

The media also immediately shifted their positions to the Manaro Arena, while Hoshino and the others stayed at Mount Lanakila and had a brief meeting...

Looking at the list of contestants, Hala couldn't help being a little dignified while being happy, and said: "A total of 1036 trainers participated in the challenge, but only a little more than 100 of them are from Alola...the competition is menacing, and there are even many champions Fortunately, there are no champions from other regions."

"It doesn't matter, I'll get rid of all the pictures!"

Hoshino didn't care about this, he didn't even read the list of contestants, but Mizuki who was not far away said with a smile: "Even if you are very good now, it's not so easy to become the first generation champion of Alola. Will also make a move!"

"Hmm, just wait and see!"

After all, Meiyue looked at Hara and asked, "Uncle, are there any particularly good players? Let alone professional trainers, they are champions."

"There are quite a few...Although we Alola don't have any, let's hold on to you!"

"Haha."

"However, a lot of trainers have come to the Galar area this time. Most of the powerful people are from this area. It can only be said that it is worthy of the area where Pokémon battles are the main entertainment, and there are plenty of martial arts."

Hara glanced at the list, Galar had more than 200 trainers, looking at Duha people.

Some of them are ruthless characters that he has often seen in the news, and they probably came here to challenge Hoshino, but it doesn't matter, when the time comes, all the knockout matches will be arranged and sent away.

At this time, Hara looked at the list and suddenly found a rather unexpected trainer, then looked at Hoshino with a smile, and said, "Your old opponent is here."

"Huh? Who is it?"

"It's the trainer named Xiaoyou who fought with you in the Youth Cup a few years ago. She is the junior sister of that Emperor Dan."

"Oh?"

Hoshino was a little surprised. If it was said who was most likely to win the championship this time, then Xiaoyou was definitely one of them, but he didn't know what kind of surprise the other party would give him.

Then he continued to ask: "Is there any more?"

"Um……"

Hara glanced at it, and seemed to find a more familiar head portrait, then looked at Hoshino, and said, "This Gladion... I remember he is Lillie's brother, right?"

"Is this guy here to compete?"

Hoshino was even more surprised. Didn't this guy say he went to work in the Hezhong area? Unexpectedly, he came back secretly. He also wanted to be the champion, and he still entered the competition with an Alola account.

It's a pity that Lillie is now at the Manaro Arena, with Xiaoguang and the others, otherwise she must be very surprised, right?
Hara talked about some champion-level trainers among the contestants, and asked everyone to pay more attention. Fortunately, there are no Four Heavenly Kings and champions from other regions. They can also participate, but they usually give face.

After that, the meeting was over, and Hoshino and the others were going to the challenge competition site, to participate in the opening ceremony in the afternoon, and to get to know the other contestants by the way, after all, they might meet in the future...

The Manaro Arena is located in the sea between the Ether Paradise and Akara Island. It was built with Hoshino's funding. It took a year and a half to build an artificial island using the technology of the Aether Foundation.

Its area is close to half the size of the current Ether Paradise, even much larger than the Palace Gate Arena in the Galar region, and it has directly become the largest Pokémon battle arena in the world.

In addition to the competition venue, there is also a venue in the commercial street to separate several divisions. There are too many contestants, it is impossible to gather all of them to participate in the knockout round, and time does not allow.

Now there are tourists and contestants everywhere here. When almost everyone came here, they were shocked at first glance. Arenas of this scale are rare, and they have to sigh that they are really rich.

At the moment, Lilia and the others are also here, but it's a pity that Selina can't come because of something, but Nemo left her work and came here as agreed, but Paipa didn't come, and Peony is almost a missing person, and she can't be contacted at all. Up, three missing two.

So much so that Qi Shu, who also came here to join in the fun, couldn't even find a quarrelsome person, and the live broadcast room hasn't been blocked for several months, which is really uncomfortable.

Hearing her complaints, Acerola, who was also here to join in the fun, smirked and said, "Then go do some side-talking, such as taking off your clothes during the live broadcast to cheat for rewards, and then..."

Before she could finish speaking, Qi Shu put his hips on his face proudly, held his head high, and responded: "Do I still need to do this kind of thing with my traffic? Besides, I did it when I first became an anchor more than ten years ago. , and that account has not been unblocked until now.”

"More than ten years ago?"

Acerola looked surprised, and quickly asked, "How old is Big Sister?"

"Of course it's E~"

"Who asked you!"

The two immediately got into a fight. They were both in the Wanshiwu group, and their personalities were also out of character. They usually talked about all kinds of nonsense and things that were not suitable for children. In the end, they were silenced by Lilia, who couldn't stand it anymore. So they have a pretty good relationship.

Not far away, Li Liai was talking with Xiaoguang. It had been a long time since they had seen each other. The two of them had a lot of topics to talk about. Xiaoguang came here this time, and he was also participating in the competition. The goal was to step on Hoshino hard!
"It seems that everyone has the same goal!"

Lilia smiled, she was also training secretly, and was going to give Hoshino some surprises.

Listening to the conversation, Nemo stood aside helplessly, sighed, and said, "That's great, I also want to participate in the challenge, but I was too busy a while ago and missed the registration time..."

"It's okay, senior, isn't there still a championship next year, and you will participate then, right?"

"Maybe... Anyway, I have graduated now, so I can go wherever I want!"

In the last World Championships, Nemo was busy with college affairs and didn't have time to participate at all, otherwise she might be able to compete for a position in the Masters.

At this moment, the sudden movement from below attracted the attention of several people.

The volunteers who maintained order were blocking the intrusion of some media, and the targets of these media were the four contestants entering the arena ahead.

A Pleasant Goat, a Braided Sheep Renzhuli, a cute double ponytail, and a cute little green hat... It seems that they are from the Galar region, and they all look very strong.

Lilia didn't know the three of them in the group of four, but she focused on the cute little green hat and said in surprise, "I remember that she was Hoshino's opponent in the Youth Cup quarter-finals a few years ago." Right? It seems to be called..."

"Little You!"

Xiaoguang took the words to answer, then looked down, and said with a smile: "At the beginning of the Youth Cup, I thought she would be the biggest obstacle on my way to winning the championship. After all, she is the junior sister of that Emperor Dan. The quarter-finals will go to Hoshino."

Hearing this, Qi Shu came to the side with Acerola in his arms, and both of them showed a very embarrassed smile, and said, "Aren't you also in the top four?"

"...I will win it back this time!"

"Uh……"

Li Liai stood aside in embarrassment, because she was the one who was placed in the semi-finals. From this point of view, Hoshino's opponents in the Youth Cup and the quarter-finals were all here, so is it a revenge battle?

At this time, Qi Shu also looked down. As the current top streamer, she is also the live broadcast commentator who was invited (shamelessly begging Hoshino to come) for this challenge. For these very famous players , also did enough homework.

Then he said with a smile: "As usual, your position as the first-generation champion of the Alola League is really very dangerous. Maybe it will be snatched away by Galar and others. These are four champions!"

"what?"

Several people are stunned at the same time, is it a bit too outrageous?Only Nemo explained: "Because there are no Four Heavenly Kings in the Galar region, the evaluation of the champion trainer is also different from other regions, so the number is very large, but there is still some gold content. Abundant martial virtue is not a waste In vain."

To be honest, the Galar area is really suitable for a trainer like her who likes to fight. This is the only area where Pokémon battles are regarded as life. Unfortunately, she used to go to school and didn't have time to go...

The few people were relieved now, otherwise it would be too outrageous, but then Qi Shu continued: "Except for the one named Xiaoyou, the other three are Peter, the current gym trainer of Wuzi Town, and the current Spike Mary, the gym trainer in the town, and Hepu, the younger brother of the champion Dandi..."

"All heavyweights?"

"It's more than that. According to gossip, each of them has a Legendary Pokémon!"

"???"

"Of course, the gossip... may not be true, but Xiaoyou must have a martial arts bear master. The bear apprentice exposed it a few years ago. As for whether there will be other legendary Pokémon, then I don't know. , this kind of thing is not easy to guess."

"..."

Lilia's expression became more and more solemn. The trainers in the Galar region are so strong, especially these four people. She doesn't know if she is sure to defeat them. As for Hoshino, it should be fine.

However, Nemo is already full of fighting spirit. It's a pity that she didn't sign up, so she can only stare helplessly here, but she has already decided in her heart that she will travel to the Galar region next year!

"Legendary Pokémon..."

Xiaoguang looked down with a calm expression, and seemed to be thinking about something...

As more and more players entered the competition, the few of them who participated could only stop chatting temporarily and walk towards the competition venue.

The audience also entered the arena one by one, only to find that many Pokémon occupied the seats of the auditorium. Although this situation is relatively common, some wild Pokémon like to come to this place to join in the fun.

But this number is really too much. These Pokémon are almost like humans, and there are even sweet dancers selling snacks and juices everywhere. Maybe this is the characteristic of the Alola region...

Soon all the contestants gathered on the field, and the opening ceremony of the Challenger League naturally couldn't be as large as the World Championship Masters, but it was also very lively, and even at the climax, the four island patron saints came to the scene !
These are all legendary Pokémon in the Alola region. Most people may see them all their lives, but this time they all appeared on the stage, feasting the eyes of all audiences and contestants.

Just under the atmosphere of this incomparably grand opening ceremony, it also officially means that the Alola region has completely become the center of the world's attention. Immediately afterwards, the challenge competition will officially start.

Who can win the final championship and become the first generation champion of Alola?This is also a question that everyone pays close attention to and cares about...
