Arriving at the counter, Gary asked, "Nurse Joy, my name is Gary. What is my Contest Category?"
"Please wait."
Joy tapped on the keyboard skillfully a few times, and three photos appeared on the display screen beside her. They were Gary and two strangers.
The two strangers were a man and a woman, both of whom looked younger than Gary. The man was named Fiorella Cappuccino, and the woman was named Moy.
Gary's first rival in the afternoon was Moy.
"She looks about the same age as Sabrina, so she should be quite capable," Gary said.
After all, it takes time to train Pokémon, so older Trainers are generally stronger.
After confirming who his rival was, Gary returned to the room and looked up Moy's information on the computer in the room.
The computers provided in the contestant village can be used to check which Pokémon the contestant used in the competition, which is very convenient.
"Jumpluff and Slowbro, only two Pokémon were used." Gary was a little surprised. It seemed that Moy had some strength. She could pass the selection meeting with two Pokémon, which meant that she used one of these two Pokémon to fight two games in a row.
Then, Gary watched Moy's selection meeting game video.
After watching Moy's game video, Gary murmured, "Jumpluff is really a bit difficult to deal with."
Jumpluff is not a powerful Pokémon, but its strength is not weak at all, especially Moy's Jumpluff, which has the Chlorophyll ability and Sunny Day. She used Jumpluff in two games in the selection meeting.
Sunny Day is equipped with the Chlorophyll ability, plus Jumpluff's own speed, which is faster than Ninjask. Combined with Jumpluff's powder skill, it is difficult to defend against, which can be very frustrating.
It's not that Gary doesn't have Pokémon that can deal with Jumpluff, but most of the Pokémon that can deal with Jumpluff have been banned.
Although there are Pokémon that can be used, thinking about the future Alliance Conference, the tasks issued by the system will definitely require Gary not to use Pokémon that have participated in the Alliance Conference; otherwise, the doubled rewards will be gone.
"It's really troublesome, just go straight to the third place."
Gary didn't think much about it. He crushed all rivals in the Indigo Plateau Conference, so the Silver Conference is no exception.
If he can't even do this, how can he defeat Tobias in the future?
Noon.
Gary came to the cafeteria of the players' village to eat. While eating, he saw Moy walking towards him.
"Gary, I saw your interview. I will beat you," Moy said.
Gary looked at Moy, not knowing where she got the courage. After all, she is not young anymore, even if she is young and frivolous, she should be more restrained.
Do you know who your rival is?
Since you have seen your interview, don't you know that you are the Quartz Conference Champion?
"I hope you can do it," Gary said indifferently.
Seeing Gary's contemptuous attitude, Moy was very angry, but she could do nothing about Gary. She could only wait for the game to defeat Gary head-on.
So, Moy left angrily.
At 2 pm.
The preliminary Alliance officially began.
48 players, three people in a group, were divided into 16 groups, and every four groups played in a venue.
Gary was assigned to Stadium B, and the first game was between him and Moy.
"Welcome to the audience who came to Stadium B to watch the game. Next, please invite the players of the first game to play."
The host announced enthusiastically, "Please invite players Gary and Moy to enter."
"Both players have entered the official competition after layers of selection. In the three games at the selection meeting, they all won all three games."
As they spoke, the two players entered the stadium from the exclusive passage of the player area.
The host continued to introduce, "The one on the left is Moy, from Cherrygrove City, who joined the Silver Conference by collecting badges."
"The one on the right is Gary, from the Kanto Region.
Gary is no ordinary player.
He is the champion of the last Indigo Plateau Conference.
He is very strong.
He even made a bold statement in an interview that he hopes other contestants in the Silver Conference can be stronger.
It is obvious that he is very confident in his own strength."
The host said a little more when introducing Gary.
After all, since the day of the interview, Gary has become a hot player in the Silver Conference. Everyone wants to know whether Gary, who has won the Alliance Conference Champion once, can win it again.
Of course, there are also many people who hope that Gary can be defeated, which would be a surprise.
In particular, the sports lottery welcomes a strong player in the competition, so that many people will come to bet.
Gary is also very interested in the sports lottery, but unfortunately, as a player, it is forbidden to buy sports lottery.
Once it is found that the contestant has bought sports lottery, all the results of the competition will be invalidated, and he will be banned from participating in any public competition for at least three years.
Pokémon battles are so popular, naturally because everyone can buy sports lottery, and there are even peripherals.
So the ban is a very serious punishment for Trainers. After all, most Trainers make money by participating in various competitions, so that they can maintain their regular expenses.
Raising Pokémon is very expensive. Ordinary Trainers cannot afford to raise Pokémon without participating in competitions to earn money.
"Gary! Gary! So handsome!"
"Gary! Gary! Come on!"
Gary heard the voice from the audience, and he broke into a sweat. He didn't expect that his cheerleading team also had one in the Cherrygrove City Region.
Since he became the champion of the Indigo Plateau Conference, Gary has gained a lot of fans. For this reason, many fans want to go to Pallet Town to see Gary.
Fortunately, Gary went directly to the Sevii Islands at that time, otherwise, he might be followed by those fans.
It has been so long, Gary didn't expect those fans to be so persistent. Not only did they not disband, but they even ran to Silver Town to watch the game. These fans are too overheated.
"Gary and Moy have entered the field, and the next step is to hand it over to the referee," said the host.
"Now let's start the match between Gary and Moy. There are 3 Pokémon that can be used in this match. The match ends when all the Pokémon of one side are defeated. Do you understand?" said the referee.
"Understood!"
"Yes!"
Gary and Moy both said they were ready.
"Then please release Pokémon at the same time."
After that, Gary and Moy threw out their Pokémon.
"Go! Jumpluff!"
"Alakazam, this is your first open tournament, do well."
Great!!
[LV46 Jumpluff♀/quasi-elite]
[LV61 Alakazam/champion]
"Moy's Pokémon is Jumpluff, while Gary's Pokémon is Alakazam. Neither of their attributes can restrain the other," the host commented.
