After Super Flame Chicken lost its fighting power, Shenghuo was completely defeated soon!

Shenghuo, who won the runner-up two years ago, seems likely to fall in the preliminaries this time...

Perhaps because Sakaki became the Kanto champion, the preliminaries rules of the Kanto Quartz Conference today are similar to the preliminaries rules on the Saint Annu, both of which are points-based, with four games a day, each person participating in 20 games, and the players with the highest points will advance to the next round.

Currently, Shenghuo has four wins and one loss, 12 points, while Guan Liyuan has five wins and 15 points.

What's even more embarrassing is that all the media seem to be uninterested in Shenghuo's defeat, as if this is not news at all...

After the game, they all went to interview Guan Liyuan about the issue of "bond evolution".

"I still have to prepare for the next game. As for the issue of bond evolution, I will hold a special seminar in Hualan City after the opening of Tianxia Diyiwu." Guan Liyuan evaded.

In fact, the alliance had already received news about the "xy branch" of bond evolution. After Guan Liyuan discovered that "Silly Hippo" had two bond evolutions, one to strengthen the body and the other to strengthen the shell, he notified Lijia. It's

just that no one knew that Guan Liyuan could stably trigger the "bond evolution", so there was not much information and it was not made public.

After hearing what Guan Liyuan said, the media had to put aside their curiosity, otherwise they would be in danger of being kicked out by the alliance staff.

This is the first game of the day. There will be four games in the preliminaries in one day, and the intensity is still very high.

However, the second game was not difficult for Guan Liyuan at all. Although the opponent had four wins and no losses before today, his strength was still far from Shenghuo. Guan Liyuan finally used Charizard and Golduck to defeat his opponent.

In fact, in previous sessions, the opponent's strength should also be able to appear in the group stage.

At lunch, Xiaozhi found Guan Liyuan with a face full of excitement, and called Guan Liyuan to sit with him, which made Guan Liyuan pretend not to see him...

Xiaoxia and Lijia had known about the "xy branch" of bond evolution for a long time, but it was the first time for others to hear about it.

Xiaozhi's behavior of calling "love" in the center of the cafeteria also attracted Xiaoxia, Lijia, Haruko and others who were originally in various corners to gather.

Although Lijia did not participate in the competition, as an official staff of the alliance, it was naturally easy for her to obtain the qualification of spectator. When Guan Liyuan was in the competition before, she did not make any sound, but she truthfully recorded the process of the "xy branch" display.

"Xiaozhi, you seem to be in a good mood. How was the competition?" Guan Liyuan asked.

Xiaozhi was in the third group... In fact, there are three or four players who are favored in each group, and they are basically in the top three in previous sessions. Guan Liyuan is not very optimistic about Xiaozhi.

Xiaozhi's excitement immediately subsided, and he said with a bitter face: "I lost one game this morning, four wins and two losses, but I defeated two Pokémon in both losses. Now I have 16 points... I should still have a chance, right?"

Guan Liyuan was a little surprised. Xiaozhi's record was definitely better than he thought!

For example... Shenghuo in the morning group, because of Guan Liyuan's strong suppression, not only lost, but also did not defeat a single Pokémon, only 15 points, not as high as Xiaozhi's points...

"But the two trainers I met in the afternoon are both very strong, I have to cheer!" Xiaozhi said with full fighting spirit.

At this time, Xiaogang suddenly came over with a plate and said: "Xiaozhi! Have you heard? Your two opponents in the afternoon..."

Xiaogang was guaranteed by the Tokiwa Gym and also obtained the qualification to watch the preliminaries.

"Huh? What's wrong?" Xiaozhi asked immediately.

"They just had a match this morning, but the match was too intense. Now all the Pokémon are seriously injured and will miss the match this afternoon!"

"What? Is it serious? Isn't Miss Joy here? How cunning... He actually gave up the match... Huh? What are you looking at me for?" Xiaozhi muttered with concern and regret, but suddenly everyone looked at him strangely.

"Ahem, nothing..." Guan Liyuan coughed dryly.

Well, that's 22 points! Xiaozhi may be the biggest winner...

If Guan Liyuan didn't know Xiaozhi's personality, he would definitely think he was taking advantage of it!

"By the way, Liyuan, your first match in the afternoon seems to be in the same situation..." Xiaogang said with narrowed eyes and frowned.

It seems that the reason why Xiaogang came late was to inquire about the situation of the morning match!

Although he has the character defect of being obsessed with mature women, Xiaogang is generally very reliable.

"What happened?" Guan Liyuan asked. He also found that when Xiaogang mentioned his opponent in the first match in the afternoon, his tone was completely different from when he mentioned Xiaozhi's two opponents who gave up.

"I heard from the onlookers of the match this morning that the other party is suspected of intentional injury... and is now being investigated by the tournament committee." Xiaogang said.

"Intentional injury? What an excessive guy!" Xiaozhi said angrily.

"But now there are so many Joey gathered in Quartz Plateau, it shouldn't be a problem, right?" Xiaoxia said.

"No, not only Pokémon... but also suspected of intentional attack on trainers." Xiaogang said solemnly.

"What? The trainer was also attacked? Who is it?" Xiaoxia exclaimed.

"Miss Lijia, please rest assured, as your knight, I will definitely protect you... Ah!" Xiaogang seemed to be ill again and went to "harass" Lijia next to him.

Lijia, who was wearing a furisode kimono and had a gentle personality, had a very high induction of nymphomania for Xiaogang.

Just when he half-knelt forward and wanted to hold Lijia's hand, the raised hand was directly knocked away by Xiaoxia on the side...

"Lijia is not participating in the competition, she will not be in danger, you don't have to worry! By the way... I think you are more dangerous, Lijia, you must never be alone with him in the future!" Xiaoxia said on the side.

"It's actually possible to attack the trainer in the ring... It must be very powerful, and... the Pokémon should be one of the special ones!" Guan Liyuan muttered.

In the competition, there are referees watching. If you command the Pokémon to attack the opponent's trainer openly, you will probably be taken down on the spot, and it is impossible to submit it to the competition committee for review.

The reason for the review is probably because the opponent is playing a marginal ball, and it is impossible to prove that it is intentional to cause harm!

First, you need to crush the opponent's strength, and second... the Pokémon should be one of the most bizarre ones to be able to do it.

Otherwise, for Pokémon like Haruko, who are all fighting-type Pokémon, can they still let Flying Kick the opponent? That's too obvious!

"Xiaogang, has the result of the tournament committee's punishment come out? Such an excessive guy will definitely be banned, right?" Xiaozhi asked on the side.

At this moment, a cold female voice came from behind Xiaozhi, making him shiver.

"I'm sorry to disappoint you. It's just an accidental injury. Who made him too weak?"

Several people looked in the direction of the voice, and saw a little girl who looked about twelve or thirteen years old standing behind Xiaozhi. She was wearing a purple floral kimono skirt and looked quite delicate, but what was worrying was that she covered one eye with an eye mask!

"Are you... A Zi?" Guan Liyuan recognized this person.

It was A Zi, who was the seeded player in the first group with Shenghuo and Guan Liyuan, and a ten-star gym trainer of the Golden Gym!

According to official information, A Zi is the same age as Guan Liyuan, but because of her congenital reasons, she looks much younger than she actually is.

"You should be able to draw me to compete with you tomorrow, right? Look forward to it!" A Zi looked at Guan Liyuan, and after saying this, she turned and left.

"Liyuan... have you ever offended her?" Even Xiaozhi could sense A Zi's hostility.

"First time seeing you." Guan Liyuan also asked in confusion.

Sure enough, before the first game in the afternoon, Guan Liyuan was notified of a bye and got three points directly.

Guan Liyuan, who was a little upset about A Zi's matter, did not stay in the stadium to watch the game, but came out to contact Na Zi by phone!

"Well? You mean A Zi? That's right, she is my gym trainer. Usually, she can deal with some guys who want to challenge me. She is a person with strong superpowers." Na Zi said.

"Why do I feel that she has a certain hostility towards me... Isn't it you who instigated it?" Guan Liyuan asked in confusion.

"Hostile? Isn't it your life illusion? Although the child's personality is a bit weird, she is not the type who likes to fight bravely."

Well, not a brave and aggressive personality... This sentence should be said to the player who is still lying in the infirmary!

"Weird personality? Oh, and she looks like she's the same age as you?" Guan Liyuan asked.

"No, Ah Zi's superpowers are too strong, which affected her physical development. Ah Zi was born on a very closed island in the Orange Islands. When she was a child, she was rejected by her relatives because of her superpowers. She was severely malnourished and almost starved to death... But after I rescued her, she has gradually improved. It's just that because of the shadow of her childhood, her personality is a little weird. I found her taking my clothes a few times and I don't know what she did..." Nazi said.

"Wait, you said you 'rescued her'?" Guan Liyuan forcibly ignored the description of "weird personality" later.

"That's right. I happened to catch a natural bird and found her on the island. At that time, she was completely isolated by other villagers because of her superpowers and lived outside the village... She seemed to be only twelve years old that year, and her body looked like she was only seven or eight years old. She couldn't control her superpowers, and she was already starving when I found her..."

Although Nancy was not a helpful person, when she saw A Zi, she remembered her past self...

"Wait, wait, wait... Since you rescued her, why did you say before that there was no one in the Golden Gym that you could absolutely trust?" Guan Liyuan interrupted Nancy immediately. No

matter how you look at it, A Zi can be trusted, right?

"Well? I saved her, not her. Why should I trust her 100%? Especially at that time, I couldn't use superpowers, and her superpowers were second only to mine in the gym. What if... But it doesn't matter now! I can trust all gym trainers." Nancy said.

No... You trust your own strength and can beat all trainers!

Guan Liyuan was no longer able to complain - what about A Zi's weird personality, your personality is the most problematic, right?

Suddenly, Guan Liyuan vaguely heard Nazi mumbling something and couldn't help but ask, "Huh? What did you say?"

"Oh, I said that after I came back, A Zi seemed to have asked me a similar question, saying why I should trust a stranger and not her."

"How did you answer?"

"Tell the truth!"

"..." Guan Liyuan suddenly felt that he knew why he was being targeted.
