"Brother Liyuan, Brother Liyuan, something bad has happened! Look at this..."

When preparing to celebrate Xiao Ai's victory and Esther's entry into the semi-finals, Serena suddenly ran over with a flyer in her hand.

"What's wrong?" Guan Liyuan took the flyer in confusion and found that it said "Fifty seeded players you must know".

That's right, it was the brochure of the subsequent unlimited group competition, which summarized a full fifty famous trainers...

This is very rare in the history of the Kalos competition. Normally, three or five seeded players are introduced, and then three or five players who are popular are introduced.

After all, for most training masters, it is enough to prove themselves once in the competition, which is quite like "real trainers never participate in the competition in the same region for the second time".

Therefore, most of the applicants for the unlimited group competition are young and strong trainers, or some late bloomers.

Usually, quasi-king-level trainers who have more than three king-level Pokémon will be regarded as seeded players.

And this time... 50 players were selected and printed in the official brochure. Many trainers were dissatisfied with their idols, teachers, gym owners, or themselves, who were not even included in the brochure after signing up!

The standard for inclusion can be summarized as "a superstar trainer may not be included, and a superstar trainer will definitely not be included"...

Because of Guan Liyuan's bold words, trainers who aim to defeat him or trainers who look forward to fighting with the beasts all gathered here!

Not only from Kalos, but also from all over the world, many trainers came, and even from Kanto, many trainers who did not participate in the Kanto Youth Group Competition due to age restrictions came to Kalos to participate in the Unlimited Group.

On the contrary, the nearest Alola region has the least trainers coming - probably because the shadow brought by Arceus is too big, and they are not willing to face Guan Liyuan for the time being.

The reason why the official brochure lists a full fifty people is the result of special consideration. After all, two of the four kings of Carlos have signed up for the competition. It would be too offensive to have three or five people as usual...

Seeing Guan Liyuan flipping through the brochure with a puzzled look, Salina couldn't help but say, "The Four Kings! It's the Four Kings! Yan Kai King and Pachira King have also signed up for the competition!"

"Oh..." Guan Liyuan still didn't seem to care.

"Liyuan, don't be too careless. When Shimi King sparred with you before, he didn't play at full strength. As for the Four Kings... there won't be only one top-level king Pokémon. It's best to bring z886 to every game." Esther also reminded.

After seeing the atlas, Fatong pinched his chin and said, "It's not just the two great kings. Defu from Yingxue City, Fuye from Haiyi City, Gejihua from Baike City... are all powerful trainers who are no less powerful than the great kings. Fuye is the great king of the same era as Master Kokobul, and Gejihua... you can think of her as the Nazi king of Carlos."

This is just the Carlos region... Although there are no four great kings recognized by the alliance in other regions, Guan Liyuan found a few "familiar" names, all of whom are famous training masters.

Because of Guan Liyuan's previous "bold words", he became the one who couldn't afford to lose - if he lost, how could the branch of Tianxia Diyiwu open?

"Don't worry! Whether it's z886 or Yingyingying, I will bring them to every game."

Seeing Guan Liyuan's serious attitude, Esther and Serena were relieved...

Their worries were unnecessary. Some arrogant villains like to preserve their strength while being arrogant, but Guan Liyuan is different. He is always arrogant after being well prepared!

The day after the youth group competition ended, it was the day for the unlimited group competition to start grouping.

In the end, nearly a thousand registered players were divided into eight groups, and the top two in each group could enter the open competition...

Because there were too many people in each group, the organizer also referred to the rules of the Kanto Competition this time and used a point ranking system. The list

of the first duel was random, and then 1 point was accumulated for each Pokémon defeated. The opponent surrendered and accumulated 6 points. After the second round began, each round randomly selected opponents from players with similar scores. After ten rounds, the top two in total scores were selected to enter the open competition.

Normally, the open tournament should start from the quarterfinals, but because there are many applicants this time and the quality is very high, it was changed to the top 16 to enter the open tournament.

After the grouping was announced, Guan Liyuan was assigned to the "Hali Group" - yes, the eight groups were named after the eight famous Pokémon in the Kalos region. In addition to the initial forms of the three starter Pokémon, there are also the Slimy Pokémon group, the Fletcher group, the Flower Beibei group, the Meowth group, and the Buzz Bat group...

From the list, it is obvious that the grouping is not completely random. At least Guan Liyuan and the two great kings, as well as the masters mentioned by Fatong, are all divided into different groups.

In addition... it seems that some of the trainers from other regions are divided into the death group, but the organizer did not do too much, just a little bit of care for the trainers at home.

Guan Liyuan first looked at the "Hali Group" and found that there were only two trainers worth noting, one of which was Melissa from the Sinnoh region and the other was Liu Bo from the Johto region.

In the Sinnoh region, although Melissa is not one of the Four Heavenly Kings, she also has the status of a Heavenly King, and has six Heavenly King Pokémon "at least". However, without considering the legendary beasts, Guan Liyuan does not care too much about Melissa - because she is a Ghost-type Heavenly King trainer, and Ghost-type Heavenly King Pokémon, as many Talons as there are, will be defeated.

Another Liu Bo... has a more complicated identity. In the animation, he is a cute and somewhat self-pitying old gym leader. However, in the comics, he received a lot of the remaining forces of the Rocket Team after Sakaki disbanded the Rocket Team, and was a conspirator who attempted to control Celebi.

In the Pokémon world, Liu Bo was one of the bosses of the gang that was first swallowed up by Sakaki. Because he soon voluntarily accepted "recruitment" out of appreciation for Sakaki, he is now considered a veteran of the Rocket Team and has a deep influence in the Johto Rocket Team.

For example, when Lambda and Ma Zhishi wanted to defeat Sakaki before, they didn't dare to get too much support in Johto because Liu Bo was in charge. Otherwise, as the boss of the two rocket teams at that time, Sakaki suddenly said that he wanted to be the champion of Kanto, which made many Johto Rocket Team executives dissatisfied. Thanks

to Liu Bo for treating them to fish balls and doing a good job of ideological work... Guan Liyuan didn't know whether it was Sakaki's suggestion or Liu Bo himself who was interested in participating in the competition, but if he is not careful...

[If he is not careful... maybe he will have to expose a divine beast to win! That would be very annoying~] Guan Liyuan complained silently in his heart.
