Lu Ye filled out the registration information on the official website with Snorlax as the promotional poster.
The content of the poster is: Snorlax is wearing a headband and jumping over a hurdle with great momentum, as if saying "If you win, you can have a big meal!"
Lu Ye: "...quite passionate."
Surprisingly, the official website also has a sports forum, where most of the discussions are about:
"Team Electabuzz will definitely win the league championship this year!"
"Can Team Electabuzz win? No, we don't have the ability to do so, you know that?"
"How do you explain the loss to the Magikarp team and the Gemstar team? You have lost face!"
The posts contain a wide variety of content, most of which are related to Pokémon Sports. Similar posts include:
"This year's all-around medal predictions."
"Grand Slam player Akin may compete again."
"A personal analysis of Xiaozhi, the dark horse triathlon player!"
Lu Ye was stunned and clicked on the last post with curiosity.
[Triathlon is a sport that consists of three events: swimming, riding (Pokémon or cycling), and long-distance running.
Generally speaking, the physical fitness of Pokémon determines the ranking of the first two events. But in the long-distance running event, the trainer needs to join the long-distance running personally.
According to my observation of Xiaozhi, he is very likely to pull away from the rest in the final long-distance race and sprint to the top!]
"Don't be ridiculous. Can humans be faster than Pokémon?"
"For an untrained player, it's pretty good to be in the front and not fall behind."
"Return the tables by sprinting? Impossible, because humans have their limits!"
The sense of immersion is very strong, and Teacher Lu already has a picture in front of his eyes.
For other combinations, the trainer might let the Pokémon run first so that the final result will not fall behind.
Ash must have been carrying Pikachu and sprinting all the way, shocking passers-by.
"It's so scary."
Lu Ye murmured: "Professor Oak should really slice up Xiaozhi and study him..."
I strongly suspect that the reason why Xiaozhi was able to recover so quickly after being electrocuted was that he secretly learned the "self-regeneration" move!
At two o'clock in the afternoon, not long after filling out the registration information, the organizer called Lu Ye.
She was a gentle woman, her voice sounded a little excited, and she told Mr. Lu that he could participate in the competition as a "star trainer".
"Will the bonus be higher this way?" Lu Ye asked.
"No." The other party replied, "But we will give you an additional appearance fee."
"Then I have no objection." Lu Ye agreed readily.
It's just for food, not shabby.
I don’t know how many endorsements Dan Di has taken with his outfit.
It’s not possible that some Grand Slam players can’t even get endorsements, right
“The organizer didn’t even invite me!”
Ajin slammed the table and said, "I am also a star trainer, why don't I get an appearance fee?"
"From a business perspective, the character of the spokesperson is also very important." Xiao Lan smiled, covering her mouth.
"If it's a snooker match," Kristal consoled, "someone would probably ask you to be the spokesperson."
Xiaoyin sent a voice message in 1s: "Pfft."
[Group member 'Xiaoyin' withdrew a message. ]
Yulongdu: "Red and prosperous, hazy and trance-like."
Xiao Qian: “o(*≧▽≦)ツ┏━┓hahahaha”
Jin: "You guys are laughing too loudly!"
"The Shuiliu is about to reach the Qiancong City Lighthouse." Ma Zhishi said, holding a cigar in his mouth, "If you want to get on board, hurry up."
"We'll be there soon!" Ami exclaimed.
"@Teacher Lu, let's go to the venue together." Xiaozhi said, "I just happened to pass by Zhuqing City while traveling."
Lu Ye was about to agree.
Suddenly I thought that it would not be advisable to travel with Xiaozhi in the near future as trouble might arise.
"I've already left." Lu Ye said casually, "I'll take the train directly there, it's faster than a flight."
"Really?" Xiaozhi scratched his head and grinned, "Come to think of it, Pikachu and I will never lose in this kind of sports event!"
"You're quite courageous." Xiao Qian said, "But this competition is full of hidden talents. It is said that there will be a mysterious guest appearance."
"Mysterious guest?" asked a strange ID.
"Mysterious guest?" asked the poor girl Li.
Lu Ye pondered for a moment and said, "The guest of honor at the Chengdu Celebration... wouldn't it be that guy A'Du?"
"Haha, it's not me. You'll know when you get there." A'du said cheerfully.
"I've already gone over there." Kristal smiled, "to help the staff of the Johto Festival."
"@Crystal, remember to help me~" Xiao Lan covered her mouth and laughed, "I have stockpiled a lot of goods, I will definitely make a lot of money this time!"
"No problem~" said Kristal.
The venue for the all-around competition is located in a small town outside Jiayuan City. It is said that there is a large venue that can accommodate 70,000 people.
With nothing to do, Lu Ye lay on the sofa and played with Sylph Eevee, doing his homework in advance.
The events are divided into five categories: jumping, endurance, speed, strength, and skills, with a total of five gold medals.
All-star players will also join these events, such as Ami's Steelix participating in the sumo competition, Xiaoqian's Milk Tank participating in the cross-country competition...
“This is too outrageous.”
Lu Ye had a complicated expression, "Steel Snake is going to participate in sumo? Then we have to use Snorlax to compete!"
"Awoo!?(???)?" Windspeed poked its big head out and nudged Lu Ye with its wet nose.
Lu Ye was stunned for a moment, then suddenly it dawned on him.
My speedster can compete in the three categories of endurance, speed, and strength at the same time!
After all, as an All-Star player, you can't not even win a gold medal.
But besides Jin, the Grand Slam player, there is also a monster like Xiaozhi...
“This is the difficulty of the all-around competition.”
Lu Ye wiped the cold sweat off his forehead and said, "It's much higher than the baby cup!"
…
At four o'clock in the afternoon, the lunch box was an egg and ham sandwich and fresh tree juice.
Lu Ye carried a backpack and a Poké Ball on his waist and boarded the train to Asagi Town.
The train is powered by electric dragons.
In the spacious carriage, there were two boys in shorts, fighting with Serpentine Bear and Mukle.
It is said that in Unova, people never miss the opportunity to battle Pokémon, even when riding the subway.
Lu Ye held his face and watched for a while, suppressing the urge to take part in the game himself, and chewed his sandwich silently.
Lu Ye & Geng Gui: (￣~￣)
As we were approaching the station, an old man's cell phone rang, with the exciting drum beats of "It's You!"
Lu Ye was in a cheerful mood as he walked onto the platform, with a train passing behind him.
The electronic screen at the bus stop showed that it was seven o'clock in the evening.
In order to prepare for the upcoming all-around competition, the town has specially set up buses to the venue.
However, the journey was not far, and there were also triathlon athletes training, speeding past them on Tuk Tuks around the island.
"Xiao Luo, please navigate to the All-Around Arena."
Lu Ye put on his goggles, turned over and patted the majestic mane of the Wind Speed Dog.
“Full speed ahead!”
The man riding on Duduli is one of the seeded players in this year's triathlon.
"I must win the championship this year." The man gritted his teeth and bent down, "Lightning flashes!"
"Li--" Duduli's body glowed white with the movement's light, the sound of wind whistled past his ears, the man couldn't help but feel secretly delighted.
At this rate, this year's championship is within reach -
Cool!
The man was stunned: "Just now, was there a big black rat passing by?"
The three heads of Duduli huddled together, trembling: "Cry!"
That head didn't look like a charging bear at all, it was clearly a charging beast!
…
Fireworks were set off in the night sky, and a Sonic Monster was holding a concert on a stage outside the town. The residents were dancing enthusiastically.
“Kou Jie!(?ω?)” Geng Gui was eager to try.
"Rejected." Lu Ye said calmly, "I don't want this to become a 'serial disappearance incident at concerts'."
"There is only one truth, the murderer is—" Rotom waved his mechanical arm and pointed at Gengar.
Geng Gui: "Kou Jie?"
Rotom moved his mechanical arm again and pointed it at a blade of grass that he was passing by.
"It's you, walking grass, Loto!"
Walking grass is like being struck by lightning: "Lu~! Σ(°△°|||)︴"
Lu Ye held his forehead and said, "You're just a supporting role, why do you have to cooperate like this?"
Besides, the appearance of the walking grass in Kanto region in Sinnoh is really suspicious!
The town is decorated with lights and colors, and because of the "Jokho Cultural Festival", elements of Johto can be seen everywhere.
For example, the geisha culture of Enju City, the Moo Moo fresh milk specialty of Manjin City, the angry steamed buns of Kaji Town, and so on.
Lu Ye and the little ones ate as they walked along, buying red bean taiyaki, marshmallows, three-color meatballs, etc. They stuffed whatever they bought into the Poké Ball.
In the end, even Windy Hound burped, and Lu Ye had to give up.
"Koujie... (*⊙~⊙)" Gengar licked the Mega Stone with the tip of his tongue as if he was tasting a dessert after a meal, floating beside Lu Ye.
In the center of the celebration, Lu Ye unexpectedly met an acquaintance.
Ma Xiu, who wore huge wings and had long black hair, had a hint of surprise and joy in her bright black eyes. She bowed respectfully and said:
"Teacher Lu."
"You came here to promote after attending the fashion show last time?"
"Yes." Ma Xiu smiled and said, "When the celebration is over, we will return to Kalos."
Behind Ma Xiu, the dancers in kimonos cast shy and curious glances at her. When they saw Lu Ye looking at them, they all lowered their heads.
"By the way." Lu Ye asked, "Do you know where to stay nearby? Several hotels are full."
"If you don't mind, you can stay at my residence." Ma Xiu bowed and said, "It's a simple abode, but the hot water supply is sufficient."
"I'd better ask the organizers." Lu Ye pondered, "There should be a contestant village or something like that... When will the celebration end?"
Ma Xiu looked up at the sky and said, "Eleven o'clock. There will be an opening ceremony at around seven o'clock tomorrow morning, so most of the contestants have already rested."
Rock music could be heard from the distant lawn, and a battle celebration was taking place in the square with a bonfire.
