Chapter 239 First Round
Lin Chuan looked at Yue Chuanjiang. With his current height, he was much taller than Yue Chuanjiang and looked down at him.
I don’t know whether Yue Chuanjiang’s Charmeleon has evolved, but it’s highly likely that it hasn’t, otherwise Yue Chuanjiang wouldn’t have this expression.
"Yes, it evolved a month ago." Kalia nodded. In just a few months, it evolved from Charmander to Charizard. This speed was already very fast. Ordinary trainers simply couldn't do this.
"Let's go in and take a look." Seeing that Yue Chuanjiang seemed to be shocked, Kalia decisively changed the subject.
"OK."
"Charizard, go back to the Poké Ball." Kalia said to Lin Chuan. In the battle gym, it is not a good idea for a Pokémon of Charizard's size to enter directly. It will seem crowded when there are too many people.
A moment later, inside the battle hall.
"It's so big." Yue Chuanjiang exclaimed. There was only one battle field in the entire battlefield, but it was more than twice as large as an ordinary battle field. It was a standard doubles venue.
Even a creature as big as Onix will not appear crowded, and can use various moves and fight normally.
There is only one battlefield, which means that the battles must be carried out one by one, so there will definitely be an elimination round.
The first round of the doubles match is a knockout match, which eliminates some teams with insufficient strength. After that comes the group stage, then the semi-finals, and finally the final.
At this time, some trainers were doing a doubles match, but it seemed that none of the Pokémon were strong. However, Kalia still came to the audience to take a look.
In doubles matches, the strength of the elves is important, but what is more important is the cooperation of the elves. Battles where the weak defeat the strong are not uncommon in doubles matches.
"Let's go, it's time to register."
After the battle, Kalia stood up and prepared to register her name for the competition, otherwise she would not be able to participate tomorrow.
"Yes." Yue Chuanjiang followed Kaliya towards the registration location, which was just behind the battle field. Just follow the signs.
Soon, the two completed the registration. The league had all the information about junior trainers, so there was no need to worry about someone impersonating them.
After registering, all you have to do is wait for the competition to start tomorrow.
The two chatted for a while and then separated. After finding a place to stay, Kalia came to the Pokémon Center in Totem City. There were many intermediate trainers here, but because of the doubles competition, there were more beginner trainers.
Kalia came here mainly to see the level of the intermediate trainers, and to see if the Pure Cortana mentioned by Zi Yao had come. If Pure Cortana wanted to participate, she should come to the Pokémon Center first.
But unfortunately, Kalia didn't see Chun Xiaona. Although she didn't know what Chun Xiaona looked like, with her background in the Elf Academy, it was impossible for her to hide in the crowd in a low-key manner.
…
The next day came in a blink of an eye.
Today is the doubles match held in Totem City. The whole fighting hall is very lively and crowded. The auditorium is full of people, chattering.
The trainers participating in the competition were now gathered in the battle field, standing in a scattered manner. Kalia was among them. There were nearly a hundred people in total. Although the number was small, they were all trainers under the age of fifteen, including junior trainers and intermediate trainers.
Generally speaking, new trainers who do not have professional systematic training and sufficient financial resources will need one or two years to become junior trainers. There are many trainers who are stuck at the step from junior trainers to intermediate trainers. There are many trainers who have obtained six badges but have not become intermediate trainers.
Many people who reach adulthood at the age of seventeen or eighteen may not necessarily become intermediate trainers, let alone before the age of fifteen.
As time passed, the host of this competition finished talking a lot of nonsense and the first round of the competition officially kicked off.
In this doubles match, because there were too many people, in order to ensure the quality of the competition and avoid some weak trainers from filling in the numbers, I was lucky enough to enter the second round, so the first round was not a battle, but a test.
Although doubles matches test coordination, it is meaningless if the Pokémon is too weak, so the first round is a test. Trainers who meet the standards will pass, and those who do not will be ruthlessly eliminated.
Soon, two machines were carried out, one red and one blue. They looked very high-tech, with a strange circle in the middle.
"These two machines are used to test the power of Pokémon's moves. The red one tests attack moves, and the blue one tests special moves. Each trainer can send a Pokémon to be tested. If it meets the standard, it will pass, and if it does not, it will fail."
“There is such a machine?”
"It looks so high-class."
The audience in the auditorium were all somewhat curious. This kind of test scenario would undoubtedly arouse the most competitive psychology, and many of them began to discuss it with their friends.
As the trainers began their tests, the audience began to speculate as to who would be able to reach what level.
There is an energy display on the testing instrument. When the power of the move reaches a certain level, the number will be displayed. A score of 60 is considered a pass, which means passing the first round of testing.
The first trainer who took the test sent out a Ursa Major. Ursa Major was not weak and was a Pokémon that was good at attacking moves. It came to the front of the red instrument.
"Dragon, use the dash." The trainer directly ordered Dragon to use a very powerful dash move.
The charging bear gathered all its strength and rushed towards the red instrument at the fastest speed. With a bang, the red instrument was hit hard and the charging bear was directly flung away.
The red instrument was intact, and the numbers on the display kept jumping, finally freezing at 57 points. It was obvious that the trainer's Pokémon did not pass.
"How come it's only 57?" The originally confident trainer was a little surprised. This was the strongest attack of his Bearcat. Unless he could comprehend the Self-Sacrificing Charge, this move would be the strongest move of his type. But he only got 57 points and was directly eliminated.
"If an attack like this only gets 57 points, then a lot of people will be eliminated."
"Not necessarily. Maybe this straight-charging bear is not good enough. It is weak, so it is normal for it to be eliminated."
The first trainer was eliminated directly, which was unexpected to many people, including Kalia who was a little surprised.
The strength of the Straight Charge Bear is not weak, especially this move is a fierce collision move of the same series, which is very powerful, but it still failed to get through.
However, Kalia is not worried about herself. When the time comes, she can just send Charizard into the field, choose the blue instrument, and use the jet flame to basically win.
Soon, the second trainer came on stage.
