Chapter 412: Change the Competition System. Let Them Fight Together! (First Update)
Suzuli Island, central venue.
Looking at the long entrance to the players' tunnel in front of him and the wide and flat field at the end of the tunnel, Qingliu was slightly surprised.
When he learned from Sirona that the Four Heavenly Kings Challenge was still held here, he was a little surprised to be honest. After all, Mechanical Greymon's Gaia Flame Cannon wiped out the entire battle area from the planet at that time. .
But when he came here and saw the site reappearing in his field of vision, Aoyagi couldn't help but admire the speed and completeness of the pit filling and restoration project.
Combined with the astonishing large batch of "Super Evolutionary Stones" sent by the Sinnoh Alliance last night, Aoyagi once again saw the meaning of "organization" and "more people are more powerful".
It was at this time that a slightly familiar voice came from the other side.
"You have to take it easy this time. If you do it again, even if you mobilize all the people overnight to repair it, you won't be able to complete it. Then you will have to go outside in the cold to continue the next game. At my age The old man can’t stand it.”
Hearing this, Qingliu raised his head and looked across, then bowed slightly and said, "Ms. Kikuno."
Kikuno nodded, keeping the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and said slowly: "Although I knew you had great potential when we were at Yamanashi's place, I never thought I would meet you so soon, and..."
As he spoke, the smile on Kikuno's face slowly grew: "Obviously when we first met, you could only choose my second team to challenge. Looking at it now, it's really a terrible leap.
“However, that’s why we should pay more attention to our external image.
Hearing this, Qingliu naturally thought of some recent rumors about this competition.
The originally serious Heavenly Kings Challenge has changed drastically this year... I have become the Four Heavenly Kings, and the Four Heavenly Kings have become challengers.
Some people have even made some related identity swap posters and cheering messages.
Although this is probably true based on the current known actual situation, there must be someone behind the news that deliberately creates friction and topics.
"Ms. Kikuno please don't take it to heart about those topics that are deliberately created by the news media for the sake of traffic and popularity."
Kikuno smiled and shook his head: "Don't think of me as that kind of narrow-minded senior. What I really want to say is about you."
"I?"
Qingliu was a little surprised.
"That's right, the trainer who possesses a legendary ancient Pokémon once again transformed into a field destroyer and destroyed the entire playing field with one strike!"
"Come again?"
Qingliu couldn't help but feel speechless.
But last time it was because of the palace heir, what is the reason this time?
"Don't worry, it's not the negative news like last time. After all, you just won the championship at the Lily of the Valley Conference. Your popularity and popularity are at its absolute peak. If anyone at this stall troubles you, they are asking for trouble."
As Kikuno spoke, the topic suddenly changed: "But what I want to tell you is that with the change of identity, you have to pay attention to many things that you didn't pay much attention to before.
"After all...you have now become a role model and a target for many young new trainers.
"I don't know what specifically brought you to where you are now, but based on your level, I think you will only stand higher and go farther and farther in the future, so you should establish this awareness as early as possible. ”
Qingliu was slightly startled.
This scene somehow has the meaning of a classic Spider-Man quote.
With great ability comes great responsibility?
But as this feeling deepened, Aoyagi couldn't help but think of the irresponsible champions in the animation.
A'du, the champion of Kanto and Johto regions, is keen on fighting crime, Daigo, the champion of Fengyuan, is keen on digging rocks, his later successor Mikoli also works as a part-time coordinator, Sirona, the archaeological champion of Sinnoh, Adek, the champion of Unova, Carlos champion Karuni becomes an actress...
The one who is most in line with the status and responsibilities of a champion is the Galar champion who is the strongest in the air and uses Adu and other champions as stepping stones... Dandi!
Guide new trainers, clear up their doubts, and help them build the excellent qualities a trainer should have while focusing on improving their own strength so that they can protect the Galar region with stronger power.
To put it simply, this is an excellent trainer who you can be dissatisfied with as the strongest airborne, but you cannot attack his character as a champion.
And now I am heading towards the same position.
In this case, it is indeed necessary to pay attention to it.
You can't criticize them for not fulfilling their responsibilities on these issues before, and then do something similar to them when you reach the same level.
"Ms. Kikuno, I understand."
Kikuno nodded slowly when he heard this, with an expression of relief on his face.
"But I'm telling you this, don't think that you can challenge for the championship now. I and they will do their best to keep you here."
Qingliu also laughed: "In order to be able to retire earlier, right?"
"Uh...hahahahaha!"
Kikuno was stunned for a moment, then suddenly laughed.
But his expression soon became serious again: "Then, for my retirement life, I will go all out for the Four Heavenly Kings Challenge!
…
"Good morning, gentlemen and ladies!"
Host Hoshino stepped on the platform, and his voice spread quickly throughout the venue under the support of the loudspeaker. The already lively atmosphere gradually became more intense under his mobilization.
Qingliu was not very interested in this official set. He just walked through the contestant channel and stood on this new venue when notifying the contestants to enter.
The person who appeared opposite him was not Kikuno, but another person he knew.
The superpower king - Wu Song.
Seeing the other person's neat pink suit and the obviously well-groomed hairstyle on his head, Qingliu smiled.
"It's good that you are the first one."
Hearing Qingliu's words, Wu Song, who was originally smiling and greeting the audience, froze.
At this moment, even without any superpowers to perceive, Wu Song had a very ominous premonition based on his instinct.
"Qingliu, what do you mean?"
"I remember when we were at Wisdom Lake, you told me that if I needed your help in the future, I should just ask, right?"
Qingliu asked instead of answering.
Wusong nodded in silence.
He did say that, and he also said that if he couldn't find anyone, he could directly contact the library in Shuimai City, where he usually stayed when he had nothing to do.
But Qingliu's progress in strength improvement was too fast. When he was at Wisdom Lake, his strength had been surpassed by Qingliu, and later there was no place or need for him to help.
Wusong also thought that Qingliu had forgotten about it a long time ago, but he didn't expect that he still remembered it.
However, what does it mean to suddenly bring it up at this time?
Let him admit defeat voluntarily?
This kind of thing is impossible to think about, after all, this time it's not just him, but everyone in the Four Heavenly Kings.
Qingliu naturally noticed Wusong's demeanor, smiled and waved his hand and said: "Don't worry, just fight with all your strength, I won't let you do anything that will embarrass you, such as admitting defeat or giving up."
Wusong's tightly locked brows frowned even tighter.
"What do you want me to do for you?"
"I want you to send out three Pokémon at the same time."
"Ah?"
Wusong was a little confused for a moment: "What do you mean? Change the three-game rule of one Pokémon per game to a three-on-three battle?"
What? !
With the spread of the camera microphones installed around the venue, which are used to capture and transmit sound and images, everyone at the scene heard the conversation between the two just now.
In the surrounding audience seats, guest seats, and the VIP area where the high-level members of the Sinnoh League were located, there was an uproar.
Although it is a bit unbelievable to change the rules of the game at this time, it is not unheard of in the past. As long as both parties agree and it does not have a big impact on the final result, it is feasible.
But the current situation is not something that will not have a big impact.
Everyone present has seen how powerful the individual strength of the Aoya Pokémon is.
One can defeat most of the opponent or even the entire lineup. If three appear at the same time, the effect of 1+1+1 is definitely greater than that of 3.
It is really hard to imagine what will happen if three Pokémon appear at the same time.
After a brief moment of confusion, Wu Song couldn't help but smile bitterly: "Why did you suddenly think of doing this? If it's really three-on-three, aren't you trying to embarrass me..."
"I think you misunderstood."
Qing Liu still maintained a friendly smile and said slowly: "It's not three-on-three, but Wu Song, you send three Pokémon at the same time, and I still use one Pokémon to fight."
Ah? !
As soon as these words came out, the audience who were already in a state of confusion were completely stunned.
Originally, I thought Qing Liu proposed the three-on-three competition rule in order to take advantage, but the current situation is completely different from what I imagined.
Let Wu Song send three Pokémon at the same time, and Qing Liu still uses only one.
It's three against one!
Such a rule that is harmful to him and has no benefit was actually said by Qing Liu.
Didn't he know that if the change was successful, the entire Heavenly King Challenge would continue to follow this rule until the end, thus forming an absolute disadvantage of four three-on-one matches?
Even though Qing Liu's strength was indeed very strong, so strong that many people believed that the Four Heavenly Kings would most likely lose the game ugly against him even in a round-robin match.
But if it was changed to three-on-one, the situation... might be completely changed.
