Pokémon Modifier

Not long after, Yushu ran back full of energy.

Although Hu Yang had not met Yushu since the battlefield of Liuli Island, he learned some things about Yushu from Dr. Odamaki.

After the war, Yushu traveled around Hoenn, helping Pokémon and humans in need, and at the same time practicing hard with Pokémon during this journey.

After the reconstruction was completed, he continued on the journey of collecting gym badges. Not long ago, he finally collected the last badge and rushed to Caiyu City.

"Brother Hu Yang, let's have a Pokémon battle!" As soon as Youshu finished registering with Miss Joy, he excitedly launched a challenge to his neighbor's big brother.

Hu Yang said speechlessly: "...Eat first."

Only then did Youshu remember that he had rushed to Caiyou City in a hurry and hadn't eaten yet, and an embarrassed smile appeared on his face.

Seeing this, Hu Yang sighed helplessly, and took Youshu to find a restaurant where contestants could dine for free according to the map and information in the conference guide book.

Sitting in the exquisitely decorated restaurant, Hu Yang once again felt the world's love and respect for the profession of trainer.

The Caiyou Conference here is a bit similar to the Olympic Games in Populus euphratica's previous life.

The food and accommodation for the contestants here are provided free of charge by the conference officials.

The types of food are very rich. In addition to the food in the Hoenn region, it also includes specialties from Johto, Kanto, Sinnoh, Hezhong and other regions.

Perhaps they are afraid that contestants from other regions may not be acclimatized?

Hu Yang was thinking about things while eating the food on his hand.

Youshu on the opposite side looked up at him for a few times, and then said: "By the way, Brother Hu Yang, I forgot to tell you that when Rayquaza left last time, he asked me a question."

"Huh?" Hu Yang raised his head in surprise: "What did it say?"

Yushu replied: "It asked me what kind of human being you are."

"I?"

"Yes." Youshu nodded, perhaps thinking of what happened on the battlefield in Liuli City, his eyes showed excitement and admiration: "I tell it, Brother Hu Yang is the greatest and most powerful trainer in the world. Home."

At this point, Yushu's tone was a bit puzzled: "But I don't know why, after I said this, Rayquaza ignored me."

Populus euphratica: "..."

"It's better not to say such things in front of others in the future." He said.

Yushu asked in confusion: "Why?"

Because I am afraid that you will be beaten by Rayquaza. Hu Yang thought to himself, but he said on his face: "It's better to be low-key as a person.

"I understand!" Yushu thought for a moment, and then an expression of understanding appeared on his face.

After eating, Hu Yang and Youshu found a venue for contestants to compete and practice.

Here, he met the Pokémon Yushu had collected during his journey.

In addition to his starter Pokémon, Lizard King, Hu Yang also met Kodora, King Swallow, Sly Tengu, Swampert, and a Tropical Dragon.

There is no doubt that these six are the lineup Yushu will use to participate in this Caiyou Tournament.

Hu Yang sent out the Megalodon, and while running in with the Megalodon, he started a battle with several of Youshu's Pokémon.

From the battle, Hu Yang sensed Youshu's slightly immature command and training methods.

After all, he had just gone on a trip this year. Calculating the time carefully, it was not even a year yet, and it was already perfect to be able to cultivate Pokémon to this point.

At the same time, Hu Yang also felt the power of his overlord megalodon.

Once the acceleration characteristics are changed, its speed in battle will gradually become faster as time goes by. Coupled with high-speed movement and powerful physical attack moves, it has become a high-mobility and high-explosion abnormal warrior.

Yushu could barely cope with it at first, but later on the Megalodon's acceleration characteristics were superimposed. Even if his Lizard King had attribute restraint on the Megalodon, it still ended in failure.

After defeating the opponent, the Megalodon felt a little incredible. It turned out that he could still fight like this?

Hu Yang thought of the exaggerated surfing effect when he first encountered the Megalodon, and couldn't help but twitch his lips.

He said: "The attack method you are good at is to use strong power and speed to defeat your opponent. Surfing is not within your advantage range."

In the past, the Megalodon's characteristic was rough skin, and that characteristic was not very compatible with the moves it mastered.

But now it has been changed to acceleration, coupled with reasonable special training and trainer's command, then the strength of the megalodon will enter a whole new level.

After losing the battle, Youshu took back the fallen Lizard King, clenched his fists, and said excitedly: "As expected of Brother Hu Yang!"

Populus euphratica: "..."

It always felt like Yushu had become his little fanboy.

Seeing Youshu like this, Hu Yang's old habit of being a teacher relapsed. He couldn't help but start to review the previous battle and gave guidance on Youshu's shortcomings.

Yushu listened to these words with a serious face.

Although in the next Aiyou Tournament, Yushu will also become his opponent, and before the start of the tournament, the act of coaching his opponent feels a bit strange.

But in fact, Hu Yang didn't care much about it.

Yushu was willing to listen, and he was happy to share his understanding and guidance with him.

Time passed unconsciously, and in a blink of an eye it was the day when the conference began.

On November 4th, Hu Yang and Youshu attended the opening ceremony of the Caiyou Conference.

The so-called opening ceremony is somewhat similar to the torch relay race before the start of the Olympic Games.

First, Chairman Damalanchi, who is in charge of the Pokémon League Conference, gave the opening speech at the conference.

Immediately afterwards, he took out the sacred flame and handed it to the trainers participating in the relay race, and they ran with the sacred flame around the venue of the Caiyu Conference.

Hu Yang and Youshu did not attend the opening ceremony. They sat in the auditorium and watched the grand event below with audiences from all over the world.

"Chairman Damalanchi is the chairman of the Alliance Executive Committee that manages the Holy Fire. He is the greatest person in the Pokémon Alliance!"

Looking at the short, energetic and energetic old man on the podium in the conference center, Youshu excitedly introduced:

"That holy fire is the flame of the Ho-Oh that Chairman Damalanchi brought from the Johto area."

However, it was not the flame of Ho-oh, but the flame of the legendary bird Pokémon, Flamebird. Hu Yang took a look and said in his heart.

The opening ceremony was very lively. Although the Hoenn region had suffered a devastating blow before, the auditorium was still full of spectators.

Of course, many of them are not Hoenn locals, but viewers from other regions.

They originally came to support the Fengyuan area and help people rebuild. Now that the reconstruction was over, they had nothing else to do, so they came to Caiyou City to watch this competition.

At this time, the league competitions in other regions have ended, and the Caiyou Conference, which was postponed, has instantly become the first choice for countless people to watch the competition during this gap period.

In this lively atmosphere, even Populus euphratica could not help but feel the blood in his body gradually boiling.

The same goes for Yushu, who participated in such a large-scale competition for the first time. He said nervously: "I feel so excited! So many people are watching our competition!"

"Calm down." Hu Yang said to him calmly.

However, Youshu turned around and saw his neighbor who was so excited that he clenched his fists: "..."

Hu Yang coughed slightly and explained: "Actually, this is also my first time to compete in front of so many spectators."

"Calm down! You must stay calm!" Youshu said excitedly.

In this case, the social terror trainer would probably be so shy that he could not speak.

Especially among the applause and shouts of so many spectators, if the trainer does not shout loudly, it will be difficult for the Pokémon on the field to hear the instructions from behind.

After the opening ceremony, early the next morning, the annual Caiyou Conference officially started.

There were more than 600 trainers participating in this competition, and Populus euphratica's competition was directly scheduled to the afternoon.

Therefore, he spent the whole morning as a spectator, sitting in the auditorium watching the battle at the conference below.

In addition to the entry method of challenging the gym to collect eight badges, there is also a special Pokémon school. Students who successfully graduate from there can directly participate in the competition without collecting badges.

It is precisely for this reason that the trainers who come to participate in the Caiyou Conference have varying strengths. The strong ones are really strong, while the weak ones are really weak.

The situation he told Yushu yesterday actually happened at the conference.

A girl trainer with a Rainwing Moth blushed because there were too many spectators at the scene. She stood there so shy that she couldn't speak for a moment.

This also directly caused her Rainwing Moth to be directly defeated by her opponent without the command of a trainer.

In addition to this situation, there are also trainers who shout orders, making their voices hoarse, and shouting loudly.

Hu Yang couldn't help but feel embarrassed for them.

Of course, this situation is only a minority, and more trainers can still maintain the most basic calmness and stand on the field to command Pokémon to fight.

It is worth mentioning that in addition to teenage trainers who had just gone on a trip, Hu Yang also saw adult trainers who were at least eighteen years old and came over to fry fish.

In comparison, their command experience is very rich, and the gap between the strength of Pokémon and those of newcomers is also very obvious.

These are trainers from other regions who, like Ash, are constantly traveling to different regions.

Hu Yang felt that if Xiaozhi didn't start from scratch every time he changed regions, he might also end up frying fish at such a conference.

While Hu Yang was thinking, the trainers on both sides of the field changed again.

Because the preliminary round was a 1v1 Pokémon battle, both sides sent out their own Pokémon at the beginning.

There was a burst of exclamation from the audience.

"That Pokémon is?!"

Hu Yang looked up and saw a large bird Pokémon with beautiful blue transparent feathers appearing in front of the sturdy man wearing a red hat and a white windbreaker standing on the left.

It has a colorful flag-shaped tail that is longer than its body, and a crown of feathers that looks like ice crystals. When it flies with its long tail, crystal snowflakes and ice crystals appear all over its body.

That is……

"Frost Bird."

As soon as the name appeared in Hu Yang's mind, a familiar voice came from beside him and said the name for him.

Hu Yang turned around and saw Dawu sitting next to him with a calm face.

"Why do you have time to come here?" Hu Yang asked in surprise.

Daigo smiled and explained: "All the work in the alliance has been completed, so I hurriedly came to watch this year's Caiyu Conference."

"Hey, Populus euphratica, come on!" Another familiar voice came over.

Hu Yang turned around and saw Feng and Nan, the gym leaders of Green Ridge City, sitting on seats not far away, stretching their necks and talking to him.

Not far away, Naqi from Yinyu Gym was sitting. An elegant smile appeared on her face and she said: "Show people the beautiful dance steps between you and Pokémon!"

Populus euphratica: "..."

Because there were spectators in the middle, Hu Yang could not chat loudly with them, so he could only simply nodded to them, then turned around and continued to watch the game.

The opponent of the beastman with the Freeze Bird is a very young trainer, and his Pokémon is a Dagger.

As soon as the game started, the Beast Man made a preemptive strike, allowing Frozen Bird to use his freezing beam to take away the spot in seconds.

This result was not beyond everyone's expectations, so Hu Yang was not too surprised.

Daigo looked at the situation on the field and asked casually: "When is your game?"

Hu Yang: "Afternoon."

Dawu nodded, understanding in his heart. Just when Hu Yang was about to say something, Dawu suddenly reminded: "There is someone over there looking at you."

Um?

Hu Yang turned around and saw a certain flying king looking at him hesitantly.

That is, Watari, the former Dragon King of the Kanto region and the current league champion.

Daigo recognized Du and asked, "Do you know him?"

Hu Yang did not hide anything: "I met him once when I went to Guandu before."

He looked at Du, who seemed to want to say something, but there was too much distance between them, so he could only give up.

The morning game ended quickly, and Yushu also defeated his opponent and successfully advanced to the next round.

Hu Yang felt that Du wanted to say something to him. At the end of the game, he was originally prepared to wait for him, but as soon as he stood still, he was forcibly taken away by a group of spectators who recognized him to thank him.

Naqi looked at this scene and said with a smile: "That guy is more popular than you now!"

Daigo looked at the scene calmly, with a smile on his lips and said nothing.

Hu Yang was treated to a sumptuous lunch by the enthusiastic people. Because they knew he had a game in the afternoon, the crowd dispersed after lunch and did not disturb him any further.

Hu Yang wiped the sweat from his forehead and said to the Gengar next to him: "This is really terrible."

Gengar: "..."

In the afternoon, Hu Yang did not go to the audience, but stayed behind the players, waiting for his name to be called out on the radio outside.

There is a TV in the backstage room for players behind to watch the competition on the field.

The 1v1 Pokémon battle went very quickly. After waiting for about forty minutes, Hu Yang finally heard his name.

He stood up and walked into the entrance channel listening to the fierce shouts of the audience outside.

Hu Yang originally thought he would be nervous, but when he walked out of the entrance channel and stood on the conference venue, he felt calmer than ever before.

The atmosphere at the scene gradually became heated as the game progressed. Under the spotlight, Hu Yang had only one thought in his mind - finally.

The girl in a short skirt opposite also recognized Hu Yang, and she said seriously:

"I really didn't expect to meet you here. Although I am very grateful to you for saving the Hoenn region, I will not give up easily in this battle because of this!"

"Then, please start!" Hu Yang said with a smile.
