Pokémon: The Sims.

Chapter 278 A Gathering of Heroes and Powerful Individuals

Yuhong University.

Located in the suburbs of Tamagotomi City in the Kanto region.

A location that has not appeared directly in the game or animation, but has been mentioned many times.

Professor Elm from the Johto region, as well as many Nurse Joys, have studied here, and Professor Oak also teaches here.

Therefore, Yuhong University is considered the most famous school under the Quartz League.

And this time.

Yuhong University will become the venue for the Tenno Tournament.

As for the other types of competitions, they will be held in other Kanto or Johto regions.
At this moment, Kona was holding Wu Ge and wandering around the playground of Yuhong University, while Lucario followed beside her with a large bag on his back.

The large bag was prepared by Xunlan's mother.

There were a lot of things left for Wu Ge inside, including that little doll of Emperor Naboo.

"There are still two weeks until the competition starts, and the matches will be held on this playground."

Kona looked around and couldn't help but grin.

The auditorium at Yuhong University can seat at least 10,000 people.

It's unclear how many people will attend the event.

But now.

Thanks to the upcoming Tenno Tournament, students at Yuhong University are on holiday.

There were few participants in the competition, so Yuhong University was basically empty at this time.

Where will you stay during the competition?

“Yuhong University offers single dorm rooms, and there are probably quite a few people here already.”

Kona carried Wu Ge as they searched for directions.

They then headed towards a certain building.

After settling their luggage in the dormitory, they headed together towards the Pokémon Center inside Yuhong University.

Perhaps I'll meet other contestants there.

It is also necessary to gather intelligence on the opponent in advance.

This can help Wu Ge analyze the intensity of this King of Fighters tournament.

nowadays.

After seven or eight months of intensive training and occasional guidance from Xunlan, Kona's team has indeed improved significantly in overall strength.

The other four members, besides Wu Ge and Cheng Long, have all been promoted one level.

I reckon the dragon will arrive soon.

Wu Ge, on the other hand, is stuck at Lv.71.

This blue potential seems to wane once you reach the Heavenly King stage, making it quite difficult to level up.

as far as I can tell.

Given the strength of Kona's team, there is virtually no chance of them taking the top spot.

But this is for at least 15 or 20 years from now.

The future League King will be around level 70.

However, at this time
Based on the game's context, a strong Gym Leader might be qualified for this position.

If that's the case.

So, aside from Slowbro and Dewpur being under more pressure, the other Pokémon should be up to par.

Especially Wu Ge.

If placed in the King of Kings tournament, it might become the ceiling.

Chenglong is basically considered a top-tier celebrity.

Is Wu Ge's guess correct?

This was verified a week later.

All 64 participants in the Tianwang Championship arrived at Yuhong University a week before the start of the competition.

Kona and Wu Ge also met the other 63 contestants one after another.

There were so many familiar faces.

Those that can be recognized at a glance
Lt. Surge, Gym Leader of the Electric System in Koroba City, Kanto.

Kacchan, the Poison-type Gym Leader of Fuchsia City, Kanto, and the future Poison Elite Four member.

Xia Bo, Fire-type Gym Leader of Red Lotus Town, Kanto.

Ah Si, the dojo master of the Azure City Fighting Club.

Liu Bo, the Ice-type Gym Leader of Johto-Kajit Town.

The future fighting king Shiba, the ghost king Kikuko, the dragon king and champion Wataru, and the evil king Rika.
Among them are a few current gym leaders, but they are not the ones who will appear in the game and anime in the future, so Wu Ge does not recognize them.

Besides these, there are some characters that are not immediately recognizable, but can be definitively identified as having appeared in the animation.

such as
Xiao Gang's father is the current owner of the Rock Dojo in Deep Gray City, Kanto, and is known as Wu Neng.

As for the remaining players...

Although Wu Ge didn't recognize them, according to Lorelei, they were all quite powerful or well-known trainers, and currently they all held various positions in the Indigo League.

I saw these people appear.

Even Wu Ge couldn't help but get excited.

This King of Fighters tournament definitely boasts an all-star lineup.

Kona was in this group.

They are already among the youngest.

The few contestants who were around her age were only Rika, Awa, and a few random passersby.

"How does it feel?"

Lucario looked at Kona and Wu Ge.

"It's challenging."

"Okay."

Both Wu Ge and Kona appeared to be in a relatively relaxed state.

It is indeed difficult.

However, it wasn't as big as they had imagined.

For example, in Wu Ge's view.

Of the 64 contestants, only Kikuko's skill level is absolutely outstanding.

Actually, Liu Bo and Xia Bo were of the same generation as Ju Zi.

However, these two are the same two characters from the animation, not the monsters from the side.

Their strength is indeed very strong, but relatively limited; at least in Wu Ge's view, they don't pose a major problem.

Kikuko was the only exception.

At that regional competition a few years ago.

Akiko's entire team of Pokémon are all at a solid Champion level.

Needless to say, it's even more so now.

Kikuko herself is definitely a senior Elite-level trainer, and may even be a near-Champion level trainer, on par with Xunlan.

The others.
Shiba, Adou, and Aju are all very strong, on par with Kona.

As for the others, some are more difficult for Cora, but it will be hard for them to make it into the final four.

The seats of the Four Heavenly Kings.

Kikuko has already secured a seat.

The remaining 63 people will compete for the remaining 3 seats. Another week has passed.

The schedule for the King of Tennis Championship has been released.

Similar to regional competitions, except that the preliminary rounds are omitted.

The team will first be divided into four groups for a group stage, with 16 people in each group and 15 matches per person. The four players with the highest scores will advance.

It's safe to say that there will be quite a few matches to play.

However, since it is the selection of the 'King of Kings' and a high-level position in the league, it cannot be done hastily.

The final 16 contestants.

First, rank the points earned.

1 vs 16, 2 vs 15
Thus, they were divided into two sides for an elimination tournament.

Kikuko will likely receive a perfect score of 15, placing her No. 1.

That woman won't show any mercy.

In that case, no one in the entire arena is her match.

To avoid facing Kikuko before reaching the semifinals, Korna must avoid finishing 2nd, 15th, or 16th.

That's easy; you can do it by controlling your score.

However, Wu Ge knew that, given Kona's personality, she would definitely disdain becoming a superstar through such opportunistic means.

She will give her all against any opponent.

I'd rather lose than play dirty tricks on this field.

Time quickly came to the day of the competition.

very lucky.

Kona, Kiku, and Shiba, the three strongest in Wu Ge's eyes, were assigned to the same group, making it an absolute hellish group.

The remaining two, A-Du and A-Ju, were assigned to two different groups, which we will not discuss for now.

Kona and the other two were in a group.

The other 13 people can only compete for the last spot, while the remaining 12 will all be just there to make up the numbers.

Wu Ge considers this very lucky.

That's because he no longer needs to specifically control his score.

With Kikuko here, Kona can only score a maximum of 14 points.

If either Shiba or anyone else beats her, she'll only get 13 points, which is absolutely no chance of getting No. 2.

There is a very high probability that Adu and Aju next door will also get 15 points.

Shiba also has a high probability of getting 14 or 13 points.

Kona's first opponent in the group stage.

He is the future fighting king, Shiba.

At this time, Shiba was a young man in his early twenties.

Although the expression on his face was just as serious as the future.

"Shiba... I wonder what kind of Pokémon he'll send out."

Lorelei frowned and grabbed Dewl's Poké Ball.

Facing the Fighting-type Shiba.

Her Ice-type Pokémon will have a tough time.

Fighting-type moves deal double damage to Ice-type moves, and Water-type moves have no resistance to them.

and.

The biggest difference between Shiva and Lorelei isn't their types, but the depth of their Pokémon pools.

He once pulled out more than twenty different Fighting-type Pokémon in the same tournament.

If only he had focused that energy on raising six Pokémon.

That would certainly make him a Champion-level trainer.

The only thing to be thankful for is
Kona's Froslass will be a major weapon in this battle.

Because Fighting-type moves are completely ineffective against Ghost-type moves!
"Just go for it! Are you afraid you won't advance?"

Wu Ge yawned.

He has great confidence in Cora.

He felt that even if he didn't take action himself, but instead followed Kona's orders, he would still have a high chance of defeating Shiba.

but.

Shiba's subsequent performance truly exceeded Wu Ge's expectations.

Shiba sent out three pure Fighting-type Pokémon.

And the bandana thug, the mosquito coil swimmer, and Lucario.

among them.

The Poliwag Swimmer's Water-type and Lucario's Steel-type annoyed Lorelei.

The water system is twice as resistant to water and ice.

The steel element has twice the resistance to general, flight, super energy, and ice.

They barely managed to withstand all of Kona's attacks.

Moreover, that Lucario was of a very high level, at Lv.72.

He is one level higher than Wu Ge.

It is also the only Pokémon in Shiba's team to reach the Elite Four level.

The remaining turbaned thugs also had a malevolent side.

They defeated the Snow Fairy, whom Wu Ge had placed high hopes on.

When Lorelei's five Pokémon were all defeated, Shiba still had a fully evolved Poliwag and Lucario left.

Hesitated again and again.

Wu Ge decided to let Ke Na direct him.

Because if I were to take action...
To put it bluntly...

The mosquito coil swimmer and Lucario might not even have a chance to meet him.

and.

Wu Ge also has many props and accessories on him.

Putting everything else aside, the 'Holy Fire' alone is enough to give Lucario a run for its money.

but.

The final outcome was beyond Wu Ge's expectations.

He originally thought that Kona might be slightly better than his opponent because of his stats.

But the result was not a victory.

It's a crushing defeat.

Although Kona rarely directs Wu Ge, their tacit understanding built over more than ten years together is undeniable, so her direction doesn't sound stiff.

Moreover, having watched Wu Ge fight for so many years, Kona has been able to figure out his fighting strategies to some extent.

Even though she was very uncomfortable, Kona was trying her best to fight in the same way Wu Ge used to.

For example, frequently use the 'dodge' technique.

Facing the attack from Shiba.

When Kona didn't know what to do, she would just shout "Get out of the way!" and let Wu Ge figure it out himself.
