Elf: Starts with small diamonds, then mutates into Diancie.

After a bit of commotion, everyone finally got down to business.

Although the fierce battles for the remaining three quarter-final spots only ended yesterday, the organizers have given the other three league teams, who have worked so hard to make it into the quarter-finals, only one day of rest.

It is undoubtedly unfair to the Indian, German and Australian alliances, but there are many unfair things in this world. The five alliances that directly advanced to the top eight all stood out in the qualifiers based on their hard strength, and they have this privilege.

"So right now, we have the most intelligence on the teams from India, Australia, and the German Union, while the other four teams, like us, have basically no decisive intelligence leaked out."

“But the same is true for us, especially since Su Hao’s activity allowed us to preserve most of our strength in the selection competition.” Liao Xingchen looked at Su Hao with a smile in her eyes.

As a result, Su Hao was still fiddling with the spoon he had taken from the restaurant, not listening to Liao Xingchen at all.

Bai Linglong looked over curiously, her beautiful eyes filled with great doubt: "Speaking of which, you've been fiddling with this spoon the whole time. Is it something special?"

Su Hao shook his head. What's so valuable about a metal spoon? It's not made of jade or gold.

Jin Lin couldn't stand it anymore and tried to save face for Liao Xingchen, saying, "Everyone has been working hard to cultivate these past two weeks, and we won't lose to the other alliances."

Liao Xingchen looked at Jin Lin with emotion. Fortunately, there was still a reliable person here. He had it so tough.

Before Liao Xingchen could even speak, the conversation immediately veered off-topic again.

Cheng Liming stared intently at the spoon in Su Hao's hand, frowning as he asked, "Isn't this spoon slightly bent?"

Several people gathered around, and even Liao Xingchen couldn't resist peeking over out of curiosity.

Under Su Hao's disdainful look, as if to say "Can't you guys do something useful?", the group engaged in a heated discussion.

"It does look a bit bent."

"Is the British Empire really that stingy? Even the spoons are of poor quality, thumbs down!"

"I feel like I could twist it into a pretzel with one hand, but bending it only this little bit is a skill."

The last sentence was spoken by Xiao Zijian, whose bulging biceps were on full display.

Feeling like he'd been shot in the knee, Su Hao, trying to end the conversation, gave them a deadpan look: "Stop guessing. I accidentally awakened a superpower during my vacation. It was done with telekinesis, okay?"

Everyone: "????"

Can this thing be awakened so easily?!

............................

"Ahem... Let's continue the meeting." Liao Xingchen, who had finally recovered, still had some shock on his face. He looked at Su Hao as if he were looking at a god. "The alliance has analyzed the strength of these teams and has tentatively determined the strength of each alliance."

"The opponent we should pay the most attention to and be most wary of is undoubtedly our old rival, the White Eagle Alliance. In recent years, they have also produced a lot of talented people. The White Bear, France, and Great Britain are also formidable opponents. As for India, Germany, and Australia, judging from the strength they have revealed, it should be quite easy for us to win."

"However, all of this is based on the premise that they have not hidden their trump cards. In a real battle, no team should be underestimated."

Su Hao frowned slightly. Was the White Eagle Alliance really the most formidable enemy he should be paying the most attention to?

He doesn't think so.

The British Alliance spared no expense in securing the hosting rights for this national youth tournament, disregarding any potential gains or losses, in addition to the information they already possessed.

Considering the specially built behemoth arena, could it be that the Great Britain Alliance has already achieved controlled Dynamaxing?

Thinking of this, Su Hao asked, "Are there any changes to the rules of this competition?"

Jin Lin pushed up her glasses and shook her head, saying, "It still offers a high degree of freedom, but the battles are normal Pokémon battles. It's probably to make things easier for people with special abilities. As long as they don't use illegal stimulants, there shouldn't be any problems."

"Oh......"

Su Hao lowered his head and pondered, realizing that something was indeed amiss.

The British Alliance's intentions were too obvious; they had smoothed things over at every turn. He even felt they would use their full potential in this national youth tournament.

Giant.

After discussing for a while, Liao Xingchen summarized the brief meeting: "In short, the quarterfinals group draw will be held tomorrow. Although we have free time afterwards, we shouldn't go to places that are too remote, since we are still abroad."

After saying that, Liao Xingchen turned and left the room.

He still has a lot of things to hand over and discuss with the alliance across the ocean; he's incredibly busy.

After Liao Xingchen left the room, the group immediately gathered together to discuss the matter.

Xiao Zijian exclaimed excitedly, "I want to join a tour to see the unique sights of the Great Britain League, the giant Pokémon!"

Cheng Liming also said, "Let's go together. I remember it's near the Augusto Mountains, right? I also want to see whether the gigantic Pokémon are bigger or my Steelix is ​​bigger."

Xiao Zijian nodded, and the two of them looked at Su Hao and the others, asking with their eyes if they wanted to go together.

Bai Linglong put her arm around Jin Lin's waist and said with a grin, "You guys go ahead and go. Jin Lin and I are going to browse the fashion boutiques in London. We also plan to visit Big Ben and Tower Bridge, and try the desserts here."

The four looked at Su Hao and asked, "And what about you, Su Hao?"

“The Augusto Mountains…” Su Hao’s memories resurfaced, and he suddenly remembered those two people from Shanghai.

At that time, Wilson, a mercenary from the R Research Institute, revealed two terms related to the location of the R Research Institute branch when he asked him in a friendly manner.

The Augusto Mountains, and deep underground in the mines contracted by Dominic Corporation.

Su Hao later had someone investigate and found that Dominic Company had contracted mines all over the United Kingdom, and one of the many mines... was located in the Augusto Mountains!

What a coincidence!

After glancing at the Leafeon's Poké Ball at his waist, Su Hao said without hesitation, "Then I'll go take a look too. I'm also very interested in giant Pokémon."

"Eh--?"

Bai Linglong expressed her disappointment. She had wanted Su Hao to go sightseeing with them. It would be so prestigious to have a handsome guy by your side.

Moreover, she wanted to show the people of the Great Britain Alliance what the pinnacle of the China Alliance's beauty was all about.

Xiao Zijian, with a look that said, "I knew I wasn't wrong about you," clenched his fist and said, "Good! As expected, no man can resist a giant Pokémon that's both big and tough!"

"Let's pack our things first, then we'll set off in a bit!"

Chapter 679 Overlord Clause

After temporarily separating from Xiao Zijian and Cheng Liming, Su Hao returned to his room.

As soon as I opened the door, a Pokémon peeking out from the shadows came into view.

Su Hao glanced behind him to make sure no one was there before entering the house. After closing the door, he said with a hint of helplessness, "Senior Marshall, why are you looking for me again? What if Liao Guanjun finds out?"

Marshado's eyes lit up slightly. He popped out of the shadows and called out to Su Hao, "Hmm, that guy's been really busy lately. He'll probably be holed up in his room all day dealing with official business. Anyway, it's pretty boring staying in the shadow world, so I might as well come and play with you~"

Su Hao: "......."

Is it his fault? Marshall's words just don't sound right.

Since there was no need to pack anything, as all his belongings were stored in the system space, Su Hao simply sat on the bed and chatted with Marcia before the meeting time.

Marshadow plopped down on the bed without any hesitation, swinging his short legs: "Is the True Dragon with you? I heard from the shadows that you were going to visit giant Pokémon."

Reshiram temporarily projected its chibi avatar from Su Hao's spiritual sea and said calmly, "Guide to the Rainbow Warrior, you should put away your petty thoughts."

"Tch~ Your ability is really cheating."

Marshall curled his lip. Reshiram's ability to see through its thoughts at a glance was cheating, like it was using a cheat code!

"Likewise," Reshiram replied indifferently, before returning to Su Hao's mental sea.

The two Pokémon's riddle-like conversation left Su Hao, who was playing with a spoon, completely bewildered, unable to understand what they were saying at all.

Having temporarily abandoned the idea of ​​poaching someone else's boyfriend, Marcia's desire to go out and play remained unchanged. She plunged into the shadows at Su Hao's feet and cheered, "Let's go out and play!"

Su Hao: "......."

What about my opinion?

.....................................

On the outskirts of the Augusto Mountains, inside the Giant Pokémon Park, a heated debate erupted.

"Su Hao, you decide, should we rent the Steel-Armored Raven aerial taxi, or the Great Bronze Elephant ground tour vehicle?!"

Before entering the park, Cheng Liming and Xiao Zijian, who were like best buddies with their arms around each other, had their fragile brotherhood shattered at the slightest touch because of the two options given by the tour guide.

As a steady Ground-type Trainer, Cheng Liming naturally chose the sense of security of being grounded, while Xiao Zijian preferred to observe the appearance of Dynamax Pokémon up close in the sky.

According to the tour guide's explanation, the ground tour vehicle, the Bronze Elephant, will maintain a fixed safe distance from the Dynamax Pokémon to avoid being affected by them, so the price will be cheaper.

Corviknight Sky Taxi allows for closer observation of the details of Dynamax Pokémon from the sky, but it is significantly more expensive.

Both of their arguments had their merits, but Su Hao's agreement to come and visit the giant Pokémon was also based on his own thoughts and purposes. He closed his eyes and said helplessly, "Corviknight, how about an aerial taxi? I ​​also want to observe the terrain of the Augusto Mountains from the air."

"Great!"

Xiao Zijian cheered, and Cheng Liming, though unwilling, accepted Su Hao's suggestion.

After all, what the big boss says is always right.

Seeing that the group had finally reached a conclusion, the tour guide breathed a sigh of relief, his smile slightly unnatural: "The three guests are taking the Steel-Armored Raven Sky Taxi, right? We'll arrange it for you now."

A moment later, the three people who had paid the fees were led by the tour guide to a lounge. Along the way, the tour guide explained the precautions to take during the tour.

In summary, there are various restrictions. For the safety of these visitors, any potentially dangerous behavior is prohibited, such as sticking out one's arms or head from the window, or allowing Pokémon to provoke Gigantamax Pokémon.

If this happens, a huge penalty for breach of contract will have to be paid.

Where does the penalty for breach of contract come from, and why is the park authorized to collect it?
