Pokémon: The Strongest Xiaomao

Chapter 596 The opening of the Lily of the Valley Conference

After settling down on Lily of the Valley Island, the contestants finally gathered together the next day.

The center of the Lily of the Valley Conference, the Lily of the Valley Stadium, is officially opened.

As god-level figures, Kona and Cattleya were invited to the VIP box to watch the ceremony.

Xiao Mao, Ibrahimovic and the other contestants stood in the venue, waiting for the opening ceremony to officially begin.

After looking around, Xiao Mao found quite a few familiar faces, including the stern-looking Shinji, the bright-smiling Xiaozhi, the sneering Kopin who held his glasses, and the long-haired Darkto with a middle school-like aura...

"How about it? What do you think of the level of this year's contestants?" Daye appeared next to Xiaomao in flip-flops, causing bursts of discussion among the surrounding contestants.

Rolling his eyes at Daye, Xiao Mao asked speechlessly, "Why are you, one of the Four Heavenly Kings, not enjoying the air-conditioning in the upper box, but coming here to attract my hatred?"

Daye spread his hands speechlessly: Shirona, Yulongdu, Mikoli, and Daigo Zfuchi, four champions in one box, I, Alexander, will stay there...

Well, it’s really hard for this afro…

“By the way, Sirona asked me to inform you that you don’t need to participate in the preliminary tournament. You will be promoted directly.

Let’s start frying fish again after the championship.” Daye said with a smile.

Xiao Mao pouted: "No, buddy, I'm eager to try, you told me to advance directly, then how can I kill so many people?"

Daye looked at Xiaomao with contempt: They are just children. If you beat them too hard, they will become autistic.

Besides, everyone knows what you are going to do this time, so it is better to adjust yourself instead of wasting time in the preliminaries.

Do you really think that our road to becoming a champion is made of clay?

Master Mao looked at Daye strangely: Pure insect type, pure fire type, pure ground type, only Wusong is a little tricky, are you sure you want to put on airs with me?

Thinking of Master Mao's appalling record, Daye's face turned pale and he leaned forward quietly: "Brothers, let's be loyal. I only ask that you give me some face when the time comes and don't brush too fast."

Xiao Mao smiled and nodded: "Okay, but the specific operation depends on whether Blastoise agrees."

Daye raised his middle finger, rolled his eyes and turned away. Mao Gongzi curled his lips and said, "Ibrahimovic, remember this middle finger. He started it, and it has nothing to do with us."

"Bui~(▼皿▼#)~" Ibrahimovic said that next time I will scatter his ashes~

There was a roar of cheers from the audience. Xiao Mao looked up and saw that it was the torch runners entering the venue. The champion, Sirona, appeared.

I have to say that Sirona's popularity in Sinnoh is really overwhelming.

After all, who can not love a strong, beautiful and cool blonde sister~

Just when Xiao Mao was expecting Sirona to give an enthusiastic pre-match speech, the host announced loudly:

Next, please welcome Mr. Damaranch, Chairman of the Pokémon League General Administration Committee, to give the opening remarks!

Looking at the white-bearded old man who came on stage with a smile, Xiao Mao rolled his eyes: "No, how come this old man is just like my grandfather, he is everywhere."

“Oh, this is unbearable~ Everyone…”

Ninety percent of the fifteen-minute words were identical to the Hoenn Alliance's speech, even with the names simply changed.

Xiao Mao helplessly discovered that he couldn't attend every regional conference.

Otherwise, how could I have discovered so easily that the secretary of the alliance chairman was using a template to fool people...

Fortunately, the old man’s speech was only that long and he finished it on time.

Amid the cheers of the audience, Dakodo looked deeply at Master Mao.

The feud between the two has continued since the absenteeism competition.

"At that time, you had the champion Daigo standing up for you. Now the ring is blind. I want to see how capable you are." Dakodo curled the corners of his mouth.

You have to know that this is Sinnoh. As a family of nightmare gods with a long history in Sinnoh, in this small piece of land, except for Shirona, he, Darko, doesn't have to give face to anyone!

"Hey, boss, how did you offend him? Look at that guy, he's been staring at you." Kaoping suddenly popped his head out, having found his way behind Xiaomao.

Looking at Dakoto's burning eyes, Xiao Mao curled his lips and said, "Ignore him. Middle school boys have holes in their brains..."

"I declare that the Lily of the Valley Conference has officially begun!" Shirona, wearing a black windbreaker, picked up the microphone and ended the opening ceremony amid the audience's warm cheers.

……

After the opening ceremony, the preliminary round of the water competition began immediately.

More than 64 contestants will be eliminated to within one day.

After that, 64 people will go through two rounds of preliminaries, and finally 16 people will enter the final tournament.

According to the schedule, Mr. Mao's competition will not officially start until three days later.

Xiaozhi and his friends had already received the groups for the water competition on their mobile phones and went to different venues.

As a direct-qualified player, Mr. Mao is not in a hurry and can watch other players' competitions leisurely.

Just when Mr. Mao was about to buy some snacks to watch Satoshi's game, Mikoli and Daigo came over hand in hand.

"Come on, Mr. Mao, do you want to watch the game?" Daigo invited enthusiastically.

Mikoli explained: "Ms. Sirona and the two of your family are going shopping, so the three of us should go together."

Xiao Mao glanced at the two of them with disdain: "I'll agree if you two don't hold hands."

"Uh haha... misunderstanding, it's all misunderstanding." Mikoli let go of Daigo's hand awkwardly, not knowing where to look...

So, three incredibly handsome men, hand in hand, walked towards the nearest venue.

Along the way, many passers-by looked sideways.

Mikoli and Daigo were used to it, but Xiao Mao was so embarrassed that he wanted to dig a hole and crawl into it.

Fortunately, he entered the branch venue and sat down in the audience. Finally, he was no longer surrounded by attention, and Master Mao breathed a sigh of relief.

"The next group is Satoshi from Pallet Town..." A voice came from the commentary booth, and Satoshi appeared on the stage full of energy with Pikachu.

"Oh... Xiaozhi, he has made a lot of progress this year." Mikoli said with a smile.

"I think, in a few years, he will be able to catch up with us." Daigo also gave a positive comment.

Xiao Mao looked at the two of them strangely. Were they secretly reading the script?

How did you two know that Xiaozhi would soon step on your heads and win the world championship?

Oh, no, I have to step on you once before Xiaozhi, so you will be stepped on twice...

Although there were endless compliments, it was a live competition after all, and the levels of the players varied.

In the battle where Xiaozhi was crushing his opponent without any mercy, Xiaomao and the other two had already lowered their heads and started chatting.

……

Finally, when the sun set, all the water competitions were over. Xiaomao's acquaintances lived up to expectations and all advanced to the top 64.

Next up is the preliminary tournament where you will be divided into groups.

Master Mao looked at the avatars of Kaoping and Xiaozhi, which were only one gear apart, and couldn't help shaking his head. Kaoping-san, you should just focus on your promising job as a researcher.

To be continued...
