Pokémon: Encounter

"The first team to come towards us is the Northern Bear Country's national team!"

"Look! They are full of energy! They stride with their heads held high! As the first representative team to appear! Polar Bear! A mysterious country with mysterious Pokémon and fierce and mysterious races! Although the country is cold, the heart is hot! The Sky Crown Mountains that run through the entire country cannot stop the ambition of the Polar Bear trainers to conquer!"

"The next team coming towards us is the Gaul team!"

"As one of the most developed industrial countries, their culture is full of artistic atmosphere. The majestic miracle building, the Prism Tower, as a landmark of Gaul, is famous all over the world. They are the origin of Mega and a treasure of art. Let us welcome them!"

"..."

"The team coming towards us now is the Sea Eagle Nation's representative team!"

"They are the champions of the previous session! They can use various enhancements freely. Whether it is tactical reserves, Pokémon types or personnel configuration, they can be said to be extremely luxurious. As the country with the most prosperous city in the world, what kind of exciting battle will the Sea Eagle Country bring me? Can they successfully defend the title?"

"Look, look! The finale!!! Our host! He is our pride! Our pride! Our flower-planting team!!!"

"After a long entrance introduction, we finally arrived at our flower-growing country. The whole audience suddenly became excited at this moment! Although we did not get a good result in the previous sessions, today! Right here! They are the strongest in history!!!"

The host was screaming wildly on the stage. Although his emotions were very high, Nan Fang couldn't help feeling a little embarrassed and looked up at the host on the stage.

Yes, it's you. I knew it was you just by the voice. It was the popular man named Frog who commented on the Battle Royale event in Yuhong Town.

I didn't expect you to have improved to the point where you can commentate on this level of competition. Congratulations.

23 teams stood in the center of the field.

The audience was still cheering and cheering.

......

“Come on, brother! Come on, brother Nan! Come on, sister Yiyi! Come on, sister Yeye! Come on, sister Nana!!!”

Because of Mr. Bai, Bai Ruoruo was holding Xiao Miaomiao and sitting in the VIP audience room with the Bai Lao couple. Although they couldn't hear it, Xiao Miaomiao was waving her hands and cheering for Nan Fang and the others. Bai Ruoruo also looked at Nan Fang and the others on the big screen in the room with excitement.

"I really hope that they can achieve good results in the South this year! Otherwise~sigh~~~" Old Bai sighed.

"Pooh, pooh, pooh! What are you talking about, old man! Xiao Nanzi and the others will definitely win!!!" Li Na patted Mr. Bai on the back angrily, almost making Mr. Bai spit out the tea he had just drunk.

"They will!"

Bai Ruoruo always believed in the South.

......

"Okay, no more nonsense. Our first round! 1V1 team elimination match! Each team will have five players, and each player can only use one Pokémon. The team that eliminates all five players of the other team wins. The losing team will be eliminated directly. The order of players will be given to the tournament organizers before the match. So, this is not only a test of strength, but also a test of luck."

"The battle rules follow the international battle rules. You cannot intentionally harm Pokémon or the life of the trainer. If you cannot fight, you will be defeated directly."

"The battle allows Mega Evolution, Gigantamax, Gigantamax, Z-Moves, and Taicrystalization. A Pokémon can only be enhanced once per round. In simple terms, even if you can fight 1v5, you can only use one and only one enhancement method in all 5 games of this round. It's a bit confusing, so players must choose carefully."

"All the contestants present here! Please look at the big screen!"

"A public draw will be held on the big screen to determine the teams that will play against each other next. There will be 23 teams in total! 11 teams will play against each other, and one team will have a bye."

"Next! Please witness! It's time to draw lots!!! The big screen starts!"

"Shhhhh!"

A total of 23 cards that looked like playing cards were shuffled on the big screen. In a short while, 11 teams were divided into two groups, and there was a bye card. The cards were all facing away from the crowd. Only when it was the next round would the two teams that would play in the next round be revealed.

"Wouldn't it be very easy to cheat if we draw lots like this?" Nightingale muttered in confusion.

"The host would like to emphasize this point! Don't worry, the card drawing system is jointly verified and monitored by representatives from 23 countries. There will not be any feasible cheating behavior."

"He answered you~" Hu Xiaona said with a smile.

"Tsk~" Nightingale curled her lips.

"Okay, first let's reveal the byes! Which team will be the lucky one?"

As the host finished speaking, the lone card on the screen was turned over first.

"Wow! It's actually the Sea Eagle Nation! Oh my god, it's such a pity for us viewers that we can't see such a strong team fight in the first round."

"But on the other hand, it's lucky for other teams because they eliminated such a strong team in the first round."

Jonas, standing at the front of his team on the field, looked back at his teammates and spread his hands helplessly.

"Okay! Then let's reveal it again! The two teams that will be fighting in the first game of the first round! Who will they be?"

On the big screen, the first set of two cards were slowly turned over.

The emblems and names of the two national academy representatives were displayed to the audience.

"Flower Planting Beijing University VS South Island University!"

"What an exciting result! I didn't expect to see our flower-growing prowess in the first round!"

"Then what's next! Please ask the representatives of each national academy to return to their respective preparation areas one by one. The teams for the next match will be revealed after the first match. After a ten-minute break, the first match will begin!"

......

"Tsk, no! No! I'm getting excited!"

After returning to his preparation area, Nightingale felt unwell, jumping around like a rabbit out of a cage.

"Don't be nervous. Just play to your best. In fact, after watching the players from various countries today, I already have a basic profile of the players from each country."

"Even though it only contains the types of Pokémon that each of them has, there is actually quite a lot of information that can be obtained from it."

Team leader Lu Lu said with her head down, holding a notebook in her hand.

"Well, if we play South Island in the first game..."

Seeing Lu Lu's hesitant look, even Nan Fang couldn't help but get nervous again.

"Fight as you like. They are just like that. They are always complacent and have no idea about the rapid development of our motherland. They just shake their heads and wag their tails when others give them some soup base."

Everyone felt relieved.

"Hey, Team Leader Lu! Don't breathe heavily when you speak. It really affects your momentum!!!" Hu Xiaona said seriously.

......

"The time is up! Please invite the first two players to enter the arena!"

"Let's go~" Nan Fang called to everyone.

Five people filed out.

"By the way. Remember to beat him hard!"

Lu Lu's face was as cold as ice.

Nan Fang turned around and smiled.

"must."

This is not just because the other party is South Island.

Moreover, this is the first battle of growing flowers.

Lulu and Nan Fang want to announce it to the world.

We grow flowers.
