Elf, who made him the gym leader?.

Chapter 501 Qinglu, just watch me, I’m going to start struggling!

"It feels like none of these top 16 are weak..."

Xiaoyao smacked her lips cutely as she looked at the sixteen avatars on the big screen.

She had watched it several times, but no matter how she looked at it, none of the other fifteen trainers were weak.

“The pressure is just overwhelming.”

Mikoli clicked his tongue and confirmed that he could not defeat any of these sixteen people.

"After all, they are the top 16 of the World Championship. It's no exaggeration to say that they are the 16 strongest trainers in the world." Daigo shook his head and laughed.

He had a good mentality and was not affected by being eliminated. After all, he lost to N's Zekrom, so there was nothing to be dissatisfied about.

If N himself was not particularly keen on challenging the rankings, with the support of Zekrom, it would be very likely that he would be able to enter the master level.

"Xiaoyao, now you are the only hope of our entire region, come on!" Mikoli encouraged Xiaoyao.

There's nothing wrong with that. After all, Xiaoyao is the only one from the Hoenn region who made it into the top 16.

Speaking of which, Mikoli is really grateful to Chisato. In fact, Xiaoyao was not originally from Hoenn, but from Johto!
That’s right, Chisato’s family are all from Johto, but later Chisato went to Hoenn to become a gym owner, and Xiaoyao then moved to Hoenn’s Moshiro Town.

Let the Hoenn Alliance pick up a 'monster' for free!
Mikoli is so grateful to Qianli, and Qianli himself is also an excellent king-level trainer, perfect.

Xiaoyao blinked her big eyes.

"You guy, stop putting pressure on Xiaoyao." Daigo glared at Mikoli unhappily, and Mikoli shrank his neck in grievance.

Damn it, Daigo is getting more and more mean to him! He used to dote on him so much!
"It's okay, Brother Daigo. This isn't a big deal." Xiaoyao raised her pretty fair face and looked at the big screen. There seemed to be fire flashing in her eyes.

"I will win! I will always win!! I am no worse than anyone else!"

The girl's words were powerful, and the belief and will in her words were so firm.

Yes, she didn’t think she would lose to anyone else. Except for the Guxin champion, Xiaoyao firmly believed that she was no weaker than anyone else!

"Hahaha~ As expected of you, Haruka-chan! We will all support you!"

Mikoli laughed happily. He believed that Xiaoyao, this cheerful and lovely girl, was definitely not weaker than the 'monsters' in other regions.

"Well, we already have some clues about Latios's evolution stone. If we can find it, it will definitely be a big improvement for you, Xiaoyao!"

Daigo also smiled and said that the Hoenn Alliance was already trying its best to find the whereabouts of Latios's evolution stone.

Daigo has confirmed this with Guxin. The two legendary infinite Pokémon, Latios and Latias, can mega evolve!

As a legendary Pokémon, if Latios can mega evolve, then the improvement in strength will definitely be huge!

"Hmm~ Actually, there's no need to trouble you all so much. My Swampert is already good enough."

Xiaoyao grabbed the back of her head a little embarrassedly. She always felt embarrassed that the Hoenn Alliance had gone to so much trouble to find an evolution stone for her.

And personally, she was not very eager for the Latios Evolution Stone.

Her mega Swampert is very powerful, and it is her initial Pokémon, and she trusts Swampert deeply.

"It's okay. Just think of it as my support for you as a senior. You don't have to feel any pressure."

Daigo smiled and shook his head, his tone very gentle.

"No matter what, it's great that you made it to the top 16, Xiaoyao. We are all proud of you."

"In the next game, please keep your head up and keep going. Regardless of whether you win or lose, I think this event will be a very meaningful experience for your entire life and worth savoring for the rest of your life."

"But I believe, Xiaoyao, you can go further."

Daigo tried his best to make sure his words did not sound sharp; he did not want to put any psychological pressure on the girl.

After all, Xiaoyao is just a seventeen-year-old girl. She is just fighting on her own behalf, but people in the Hoenn region don’t think so.

For the entire Hoenn region, Xiaoyao is the last light and face of their Hoenn region.

"Yeah!!!" Xiaoyao nodded heavily, turning her gaze to the big screen again, her clear and bright eyes unwavering.

"Speaking of which..."

Mikoli looked at the big screen and suddenly became thoughtful.

"Don't you think there is something worth noting?" Mikoli suddenly reacted.

"Zhao! Six people actually entered the Kanto region!"

Mikoli suddenly exclaimed.

Daigo and Xiaoyao were stunned when they heard this, and then they understood.

Gu Xin, Sakaki, Akane, Indigo, Mitsuki, and Yellow. There are only sixteen spots in the top sixteen, and from the Kanto region alone, there are six people who made the cut!

"There's nothing strange about it. The Kanto region is indeed too strong." Daigo shook his head.

Fortunately, Kanto and Johto separated, otherwise if Yulongdu was included, the number would be seven. If you think about it more positively, Xiaoyao was originally from Johto. If he hadn’t moved, including Xiaoyao, the number would be eight!

And the most outrageous result is that not a single seedling of their Hoenn will be left.

"I haven't fought against Sakaki, Akane, or Mitsuki, but that Green... is indeed very strong."

Xiaoyao wrinkled her face and her eyes fell on the portrait of the rebellious boy with a hedgehog head.

At that time, she was the one who challenged Qinglu to reach the master level. It must be said that although she won the battle in the end, it was a hard-won victory.

"There are no weak ones among the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto. It has been like this since the previous one." Daigo said in a deep voice.

And if Granny Kikuko, the leader of the Johto Four Heavenly Kings, hadn't had much interest in the World Championships, she would probably be a strong contender for the top sixteen.

After all, her true strength has always been a mystery, and she has never slacked off in cultivating Pokémon. Plus, she specializes in ghost and poison, so she is definitely an extremely difficult and terrifying opponent.

The first round of the World Championships has ended, but the heat has not subsided at all.

People from all regions were discussing the upcoming competition with great interest. "I wonder if anyone has noticed that among these sixteen players, there are a lot of trainers from a certain region."

"Kanto, where else could it be? They are really outrageous!"

"Indeed, and they are all very strong. I hope they can have more internal battles in the round of 16. Otherwise, who can handle the six spots left in the quarterfinals?"

"Are you okay, the one above? I'm just a passerby. Isn't promotion based purely on strength? You have a very bad conscience!"

"I hope our Xiaoqing can draw a good lot, please!"

"I'm already looking forward to the round of 16. I wonder which lucky guy will be matched with our great devil Guxin? (squinting smile)"

The discussion online was very lively, and someone even wrote an analysis post specifically to calculate the probability of each player advancing.

As soon as this post came out, it became a big hit.

After all, when people watch competitive games, what they like most is to analyze and compare strength.

Of course, in Gu Xin’s personal opinion, this post is a bit puzzling. After all, it is impossible to determine the outcome of a real battle by using data.

There are many factors that affect the outcome of a battle.

However, many people were interested in this, and they analyzed the attributes, battle records, tactics, etc. in a very serious manner, which made Gu Xin watch with great interest.

A week passed in the blink of an eye, and it was still the quartz plateau.

The flames left by Arceus burned brightly on the torches, and the entire Quartz Arena was already filled to capacity.

The live broadcast camera drone was flying in the air, and the camera passed from all directions of the Quartz Arena.

The game hasn't officially started yet, but the atmosphere is already very hot.

"I wonder which unlucky guy will be matched with Gu Xin today."

In the special seats, Qinglu was leaning back in his chair with his legs crossed, waiting for the game to begin, grinning.

He was in a good mood. After all, he had successfully entered the top 16. His next goal was to enter the top 8.

Defeat Red to enter the quarterfinals, defeat Mitsuki to enter the semifinals, defeat Sakaki to enter the finals, and then face Gu Xin!

That’s right, this is Qinglu’s ideal counterattack in life!

Because he did not enter the master level, people on the Internet are now teasing him as the youngest of the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto, Qinglu.

Damn it! How can I be the youngest in the Qinglu class? No! Absolutely not!
Look at me, my green struggle!

(start to struggle.jpg)

"Who knows? But there are only eight groups of players in the top 16. The chances of us having a civil war are quite high."

Sakaki hesitated for a moment, glanced at Gu Xin and said.

For them, civil war is of course the most regrettable thing, especially for this guy Gu Xin. If they meet him, they are doomed.

Therefore, Sakaki particularly does not want a civil war. Not to mention that the honor of the Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto is collective, the best result is that everyone can enter the top eight.

But the probability is really small, but the worst case scenario can't be a civil war, right?

"In fact, the probability of a civil war is already very high. There are eight battle groups. If we stagger them all, then there will only be six battle groups. The probability is super low." Miyuki said.

Including Xiao Huang, there are six people on their side. The top sixteen players will compete in groups of two. It is almost impossible to stagger all six scoring groups.

"Miyue is right, but it would be better to have fewer civil wars so that everyone can have more chances to enter the quarterfinals." Gu Xin said with a smile.

"That's right, especially I can't touch you." Qinglu rolled her eyes.

Gu Xin spread his hands with an innocent look.

About twenty minutes later, the lift started and the host with sunglasses and slicked back hair appeared again.

"Welcome everyone to the Quartz Arena. Long time no see."

The host was very enthusiastic.

"After a fierce round of battles, sixteen trainers have come here, but the battle is not over yet! If you want to become the world's strongest trainer, you must continue to win."

"Now let's take a look. The second round of the official competition is about to begin. Let's take a look at the big screen!"

The host with slicked-back hair raised his arm and pointed at the big screen.

"Who will be the first two players to compete?"

The sixteen avatars were divided into two groups and began to rotate at high speed.

Everyone's attention was drawn to it, and the entire arena seemed to be quiet at this moment.

Soon, the first avatar gradually took shape, a handsome and rebellious boy with a hedgehog head.

"Tsk~ It's me, great, this is the opening battle."

He raised his green sword-like eyebrows and grinned at the portrait opposite.

As long as it's not Gu Xin, it doesn't matter who it is! I will definitely make it to the quarterfinals!

"Are you so confident? Brother Qinglu, be careful or you might fall over."

Miyue said to Qinglu with a smile.

"Haha~ As long as it's not Gu Xin, I'm not afraid of any opponent!" Qinglu raised his chin and declared proudly.

Anyway, as long as he wants to continue to advance, no matter who it is, he is his potential opponent and he will meet him sooner or later, so there is no need to be afraid!
Just do it and it's done.

"Let me take a look at which unlucky guy is matched with me."
