This elf world is a bit strange

Seeing that Lepu had no intention of chatting with him, Filio didn't care at all. He was not the kind of person who would easily give in.

Standing next to the tall and heroic Emperor Nabo, the handsome young man and the calm cool guy formed a perfect combination in terms of appearance and temperament. With a wave of their hands, they aroused waves of screams and cheers from the young female audience on the sidelines.

Not surprisingly, this also attracted undisguised cold gazes from the audience and the waiting area.

With a startle, Firio suddenly realized his situation and smiled awkwardly. He put his raised arms back to his sides, smiled and nodded to the supporters nearby, then walked quickly back to the contestant channel with the Emperor Nabo, who seemed to be smiling but not smiling.

Although he seems to have the potential to develop into an idol, he actually doesn't have that capability.

If you have a jealous person at home, you have to be on guard.

You still have to be a genuine and capable person.

......

......

After a battle of wits and courage with the ferocious Cucumber at the exit, Filio watched her walk towards the arena with murderous intent. She secretly mourned for her opponent, then turned around and went straight to Nancy's position in the stands.

Suddenly, he felt like he had forgotten something important, but he just couldn't remember it.

Maybe he was frightened by the two of them and forgot about it... But since he forgot, it shouldn't be a really important thing... right?

Scratching his head in confusion, Firio walked into the sea of ​​lively cheers again. Nancy, who was also waiting for him with a slight pout on her lips and a deliberate look towards the battlefield.

It was not until he stood beside Nancy and calmed down the jealous girl with gentle words, and saw Korni chopping melons and vegetables on the field and Brilanche sitting alone across from the stands, that he slapped his forehead:

"Hey, look at my poor memory. I have to treat Zhe to a meal later!"

"Machi~!"

Holding the snacks that he had not finished since yesterday morning, the little dream demon sat on top of Philio's head and nodded in approval.

The kind-hearted unlucky guy who gave himself snacks and lost the game really needs to have a meal together to comfort him~

Thinking of this, the dream demon shook his body happily, dropping the crumbs of snacks everywhere.

Nancy's doting eyes and Firio's "anger but no words" made it fearless, and it even went further and called out the wind fairy who had just woken up.

The chewing sound of "click, click, click" is endless.

Chapter 246: Heading to the Highest Stage

Erliu Restaurant, VIP room.

After finishing their day's arrangements, Nancy and Korni left together, and this dinner became a private practice for Tetsuya by Firio.

With some regrets, he finished the Miare Tournament in the quarterfinals and will soon set off back to Hoenn to start his gym tour.

The convening of the Miare Conference means that the Caiyou Conference is not far away, and he must speed up his progress in order to win the championship.

Of course, watching the final is also essential.

After seeing off the enthusiastic part-time student Natalie, Filio looked at the goblets on the table, wondering why she had stayed for more than a year when she just came here to save money for a trip.

Come to think of it, this seemed to be the first time he used the one-year free meals he won in the Prism Cup. Compared with Sean and his friends who came two or three times a week, it was really a huge loss.

Through the large screen in the private room, you can also see the battle outside the restaurant. The young challengers are quite youthful, but such strength is obviously not enough to win free meal coupons.

After being easily defeated by the waiters, the undeterred few walked to a corner of the hall with a giggle, ordered food as they knew it, and chattered about the Miare Conference that had taken place in the daytime.

"Seeing these newcomers, I remembered that when I first started traveling a few years ago, I was in the same situation as them. I would challenge everyone I met, and then I would lose all the time, until Metal Monster evolved and Meowth could stand on his own."

Drinking the refreshing fruit wine, Zhe was quite emotional.

Although he lost to Brilanche and was eliminated in the quarterfinals, he was already a very outstanding trainer at this time. If it weren't for the regional tournament where players like Firion and Korne were obviously a level higher than everyone else, he would have been qualified to compete for the championship no matter where he went.

Years of traveling have made him more mature and stable, but he still misses his fearless self back then.

Firion, who was also a "late-blooming" trainer from an academic background and had also experienced a series of defeats to the Nightmare in the initial stages, also understood his feelings very well. He raised his glass silently, clinked it with his, and then drank it all in one gulp.

......

......

After three rounds of drinks, Firio's expression remained the same, but Zheye was a little drunk and his voice was a little louder than usual.

On the TV screen, as the time went by, the challengers' battles had all ended, and were replaced by reports of the conference that battle fans were paying close attention to. The scene of Filio easily defeating Lep was being reproduced in the conference.

Firion and Korne, who maintained an undefeated record by sending out only one Pokémon from beginning to end, have sparked quite a heated discussion. Especially as there will be a one-day break tomorrow, all major media outlets have seized the opportunity and topic and are vying to report on it.

The two-strong pattern has already taken shape, and people's attention has long skipped the semi-finals, and they are eagerly looking forward to the finals that will be comparable to the collision of Mars and the Earth in the Galar region.

The other participants who had come along along the way couldn't help but feel a little lonely and overshadowed in front of the two of them, even the other two semi-finalists, Qiao and Bilanqi, who were strong enough to compete for the championship in any session.

This year's Miare Conference will be different from previous ones after all. Caidou's battle in Galar has been brought up again and again, echoing Firion's consecutive victories, making everyone look forward to his three tournament main players who have not yet appeared.

Watching the scene where Firio was specially reported and introduced by Miare TV in the special program of the conference, Zheye's face showed a bit of envy, but when he thought of his own dismal exit, he couldn't help but be a little absent-minded. He slowly picked up the wine glass and took a sip.

The low-alcohol and sweet fruit wine made him feel a little better.

"How about I give you a little advice? One that will help you beat Brilanche next time." Shaking the wine glass, Firion suddenly thought of something interesting and the corners of his mouth curled up in a half-smile.

Tetsuya narrowed his eyes: "Hmm? Any suggestions?"

"After returning to Hoenn, find a way to find Daigo-san. He is a famous money-giving boy. He often gives good things like mega stones to you promising newcomers. You people from Hoenn are the first to get the moon because you are close to the water. I remember that he gave a Swampert mega stone to a little girl a few days ago. It was all in the news."

After drinking the remaining wine in the glass, Firio, who was always thinking about how to give a little "help" to a certain rich bachelor, pointed out a clear way to Zhe.

Apart from the Carlos Alliance which took advantage of the geographical location, perhaps this young German boss has seen the most mega stones. Even the Carlos Alliance may not be as knowledgeable as this champion who is not doing his job and running around everywhere.

"Champion Daigo...?"

Under the stimulation of alcohol, Tetsuya's eyes were a little blurry. While mumbling, he recalled the perfect champion who was known as the duo hero together with the strongest coordinator, Master Mikoli, in his hometown.

"That guy will definitely watch this match. After all, he is also a battle fanatic. Besides, your Metagross might remind him of himself when he first debuted?"

Patting Tetsuya's shoulder carelessly, Firio's tone was very firm.

"Anyway, I wish you win the championship in Hoenn. It's a pity that even if you win the championship this time, you still have to participate in the next regional exchange competition. Otherwise, you can still have a small appointment then."

"Me? Forget it. I don't know how to defeat your dream monster... Metagross keeps talking to me about it, and the lady selling materials and dolls outside the venue also told me that it's amazing that you can be so strong without evolving..."

The truth comes out after drinking, and Zheya pointed dazedly at the dream demon who was fighting with Xiao Dianshi.

"Machi? Machi~!"

He looked up blankly, and seeing that Zheye was so discerning, the little dream demon-sama, whose true strength hidden under his cute appearance was seen through, dropped his little cake, floated triumphantly in front of the flat-headed young man, and patted his forehead with satisfaction.

It likes friends who like to tell the truth.

It's a pity that Zhe, who has a poor alcohol tolerance and can get himself drunk just by drinking fruit wine, was already drowsy and couldn't hear its praise.

"...Is your alcohol tolerance too low?"

Looking at Tetsuya who passed out after three cups, Firio's mouth twitched slightly and his eyes subconsciously drifted to the corner of the room.

There, Meow Meow, who had basically returned to normal after being rejuvenated by Miss Joy, was eating the same way that Zhe was eating in the waiting area at that time, turning his grief and anger into appetite and feasting on the food.

Feeling Firio's gaze, it turned its head in confusion and saw Tetsuya lying unconscious on the table.

"So... I'll have to trouble you and the Lizard King to carry this dead guy back home."

"Meow?"

......

......

The next day, the busy regional conference had a rare off day.

In order to meet the three final four battles in the best condition, each battlefield will be fully inspected and repaired to ensure that the respective environmental characteristics are fully utilized in the battle, providing more diverse tactical options for the fighting parties.

Aqiao, who was so excited that she was about to burst into flames, stayed in the training ground arranged by the official organizers of the conference and sweated profusely.

Not far from him was Brilanche, who was sitting in a circle with a few Pokémon, meditating silently and adjusting her state.

Although they don't say it out loud, the two of them are very ambitious and are seizing the last moment to improve their physical and mental state, making the most thorough preparations for the decisive battle in the future. Although the chances of winning are indeed not high, it does not mean that they have no chance of seizing the opportunity to take the initiative.

In the extremely spacious training hall, there were only the shouts of humans and Pokémon, and the faint light of super powers flashed in the air.

-----------------

On March 3, the Miale Arena was bustling with people. The alliance chairman Ravi, who was in high spirits recently and looked much better than at the end of the year, had a kind smile on his face. He climbed to the highest VIP seat in the arena, surrounded by the Carlos Four Kings and champion Kaluna.

He will personally watch the next three full-scale battles and witness the winner of the annual Miare Gold Cup, the highest crown for young trainers in the Kalos region.

On the Internet and in front of television, trainers and battle enthusiasts from every region were holding their breath, waiting for the true climax of this regional tournament to arrive.

In the waiting areas at the four corners, the top four contestants of the conference are each gathering their energy and making final physical and mental preparations for the upcoming regional finals and conference semifinals.

Finally, amid the anticipation of the crowd, the loudspeaker was no longer filled with the cold, neutral metallic sound, but was replaced by the passionate voice of the conference host: "Dear audience, the Miare Conference semi-finals are about to begin! According to the pre-match draw, the first match today is between the superpowered user Bilanqi from Fengxu Town and the fighting expert from the Sala Gym, Korni!"

Tens of thousands of eager eyes were fixed on the two waiting seats on the diagonal line of the venue. Korni and Brilanche, who had been waiting for a long time, stood up at the same time and strode into the contestant channel.

On the other side, Firio, who was resting with his eyes closed, slightly opened his eyes and looked at the wasteland slowly rising from the ground.

......

......

The unexpected pioneer Guo Ran Weng met the tough and tough Mosquito-repellent swimmer in a narrow road. The simple combination of moves showed a completely different charm in front of the unprecedentedly condensed superpowers of Brilanche, which dealt a heavy blow to Korni, who advocated strong attacks. Her winning streak was broken by the quick and decisive Tong Ming, which also gave the audience a glimmer of hope.

However, that’s where Brigitte’s highlight moment ended.

Facing Korne, whose fighting spirit was burning after a setback in the first battle, despite having a small advantage in terms of attributes, Kirinki and the Magic Wall Doll who appeared afterwards by Brilanche were still powerless in the face of Aledo's sharp offensive, and soon entered the stage of changing venues with a gap of 3 to 1.

But the brief adjustment did not allow her to think of any way to reverse the situation. Apart from the fact that Alakazam used a perfect continuous attack in a flash of inspiration and caught her master Itachi off guard, she did not make any further progress.

Even if Shanaido, who has completed the mega evolution again and is almost at the level of a king, is helpless in the face of the mega Lucario, whose energy accumulation has reached level 62. After fighting back, he was finally defeated by the explosive Comet Fist, and the score was locked at 6-2.

While the super girl was dejected, Korni, with a bright smile, stepped onto the highest stage that would open tomorrow before Firio, bringing the atmosphere to a climax.

Amidst the cheers of the crowd, the two men, who had only met once in Biyi City before the game but had a good impression of each other, stood opposite each other at the two ends of the battlefield.

Next up is the second semi-final between Carlos' supernova and the only remaining outside player.

The runner-up of the Higaki Tournament half a year ago will once again make an impact on the finals.

This time, his opponent is much stronger than the winner of the final half a year ago.

......

......

Amid the roar of machinery, a dense tropical rainforest rose from the ground.

The first half of the match will be held in a forest venue with complex terrain. This is undoubtedly the tacticians' home ground.

The host used passionate commentary to create the atmosphere of the competition, but the two people on the field remained calm and just watched the changes on the big screen quietly until their avatars replaced Korni and Brilanche, who had already finished the game.

Twelve brand new Poké Balls split in two and appeared below the two people.

The Poké Ball flew out and a fierce battle was about to begin.

-----------------

"Your Jigglypuff doesn't look a bit scientific, does it?!" Looking at the oval pink figure on the field, Firion was shocked and no longer as calm as before.

Standing opposite the wind fairy was the lucky egg with a shining evolution stone hanging on it. His eyes were extremely sharp, unlike those of his other peers.

auspicious eggs

Gender: Female

Attributes: General

Features: Natural reply

Energy accumulation: 53

As if in response to Firion's shock, there was also an uproar in the audience.

As essential Pokémon for the Joy Family and the Poké Center, Lucky Egg, Chansey Egg, and Ultime are rarely seen in the outside world, and the vast majority of individuals are hatched and raised in the Joy Family's breeding house.

Except for a few special ways, it is probably not much easier for ordinary trainers to obtain such Pokémon as partners than to gain the favor of Legendary Pokémon.

In a Pokémon Center somewhere in Unova, Daigo-san, who had been waiting in front of the TV early, touched his nose and felt a slight itch, and sneezed unconsciously.

Looking at the sharp-eyed Jigglypuff on the screen, and then taking a closer look at the complacent young man in the command seat, he suddenly remembered that this seemed to be the championship reward given out by Devon Company and the Joey family in an event held in Kanaz City two years ago, a very rare and very warlike little Jigglypuff.

"Jeepney... I remember the Joeys seemed to have a set of tactics designed based on its characteristics..."

He scratched his hair gently, and his brain, which was a little stuck due to fatigue, began to work with difficulty. A memory that was by no means a pleasant one emerged in Daigo-san's mind.

Originally he just wanted to see Firio, who he didn't have the chance to compete with in person last time, but he got an unexpected surprise. Daigo picked up the coffee on the table with great interest, and while savoring it carefully, his eyes looking at the TV also had a bit more gentle humor.
