October 1st, 1998, was a day that was destined to be ordinary but not so ordinary. For Merlin, who was in this period of time, the greatest significance of this day to him was that today is the day when the Quartz Conference was opened, and it was also a day when he had to get up early. The hottest mood and enthusiastic noise made Merlin, who had to get up early, feel very upset.

The parades, carnivals, various official organizations and spontaneous celebrations have actually been going on since yesterday, especially during the most lively stage of the Torrent Relay. This carnival atmosphere has reached a peak. It is said that the reason why the Torrent Relay this year made everyone so excited was all due to a temporary decision by Mr. Damalanqi, the lifelong honorary chairman of the International Pokémon Conference Federation.

The thin and short old man who always smiled changed the stereotype of the conference and boldly activated many contestants of this conference or ordinary trainers who came to watch the game as the runners of the sacred fire, passing the sacred fire in the quartz plateau area. In addition, Chairman Damalanqi also defied the controversy to deliberately extend the route and time of the sacred fire relay, so that more young training homes can have the opportunity to hold the sacred fire torch, and welcome the crowd and convey honor and enthusiasm under the warm cheers.

According to the information revealed by Duowu, who was obviously envious, during yesterday's Holy Fire relay, many contestants or spectators including Xiao Chi, Xiao Lu, Xiao Zhi, Xiao Gang, Xiao Xia were lucky to be selected into the runner's queue. They were surrounded by people on the quartz plateau and jogged a hundred meters apart on the quartz plateau, barely participating in a short part of the Holy Fire relay.

"So what activities are there today?" while yawning, Meilin asked Duowu listlessly, "Apart from the opening ceremony and the entrance ceremony in the evening, are there any activities worth paying attention to?"

Meilin's indifferent perfunctory attitude obviously angered Duowujun, who had been very excited during this period. He angrily said to Meilin: "I have told you so many times." Duowu's hand twisted orchids and pointed at the lazy Meilin, with a little regret in his tone, "In the morning, it was a float parade, there was a singing and dancing performance in the afternoon, and there was a special competition after the opening ceremony in the evening."

"Ha~~" Meilin yawned again, "I know, I know." He stood up slowly, "I'm fine if you get up before evening, don't delay entering the venue." As he spoke, Meilin staggered towards his room again.

"No, you actually have to sleep," Duowu said in an incredible tone: "Today is the opening day of the conference, you actually want to go to bed."

"What is the spirit of nourishing the body?" Meilin replied to Duowu before closing the door: "It is mainly for fighting the spirit of nourishing the body of nourishing the body." After that, he closed the door very neatly.

As the door closed, the bedroom, which had lost its only light source, returned to the dark state again. Meilin also put away his lazy and sleepy appearance, leaned against the head of the bed with a stern face, not knowing what he was thinking.

Vyzel, the three of them are pretty honest, after thinking about it for a while, Merlin was still a little worried about his brother Xiaojilang in the Rockets uniform, and asked again. The updates are fast, the website page is refreshing, there are few advertisements, I like this kind of website the most, so I must review it.

Quite honest. Vyzel replied absent-mindedly, basically honest. They are now in a small cave, with a large green machine like some kind of insect.

Large Machine Merlin asked curiously, what large machine

Like a large machine of some kind of insect, Vyzel continued to reply absently. Looking at the structure of the machine, it seemed to be used to carry a large structure. But don't worry, the three of them were completely panicked after being scared last night. Now the discussion is basically about how to safely slip away without being discovered. Almost no longer mentions any combat plan.

The battle plan Merlin's face darkened.

Well, the original combat plan of the three of them seemed to be to snatch the conference torch in public and sell it to some collectors at a high price. Vyzel finally became a little interested and began to describe it vividly. Speaking of which, I only now know that it was the three of them who caused the small riots during the transmission of the sacred fire yesterday.

The little riot's brows were twisted together.

Yes, there were several small riots during the passing of the torch yesterday, all caused by a hot air balloon in the shape of a meow. It is said that some evil parties wanted to rob the torch, but fortunately they were all frustrated by the trainer who served as the runner of the torch. Vyzel said seriously, and then you must not think of who the trainer who defeated the evil party’s evil plan.

Merlin asked who was very good at coordinating.

Xiaozhi and his friends, Vyzel, seemed very happy, as if this statement was only circulated among some trainers who had witnessed it, and the official was completely silent about it.

Then how did you know

The three of them said to themselves. Vyzel was even happier. The three of them were evil parties who repeatedly wanted to rob the Holy Fire. And according to their own explanation, they also repeatedly wanted to catch the poor Xiao Zhijun's Pikachu. Unfortunately, the final result always ended in failure.

Pikachu Merlin suddenly remembered the Pikachu in his memory that she had completely petrified by Xiaozhi. I don't deny that it is very spiritual and has good strength, but it seems

Well, who knows what standards are those three guys judged by? Vyzel continued, your little brother seems to have become a complete bad guy over the years

"Probably." Meilin, who suddenly felt a sense of loss, sighed and unilaterally ended the unpleasant conversation.

Time is always in a hurry, and in the blink of an eye it is already setting sun and the evening is getting darker.

The quartz plateau, which had been jubilant for a whole day, was finally briefly repaired at this time, but this kind of rest does not mean the end of the carnival, but accumulates vitality in order to unfold more passionately again.

Trainers in groups of three or three, and groups of spectators were wearing various souvenirs sold by the conference, and holding various support equipment in their hands, pouring into the main venue and major affiliated venues. The extraordinary enthusiasm burst out by the excited crowd seemed to interfere with the climate of the Quartz Plateau, making it extremely hot and cold on the plateau that should have been cool and pleasant in autumn.

Mei Lin, who was still dressed in a sports outfit that looked a little worn out and Duo Wu, who had changed into a shiny performance costume, traveled hard among the bustling crowds. Perhaps it was affected by the abnormal hot climate, or perhaps it was the approaching opening that made Duo Wu feel a little excited, uneasy and nervous. In short, Duo Wu was rarely spoken, deliberately stern, with a stiff expression, and a mechanical movement.

On the contrary, Merlin still looked indifferent and plain, but she was a little bored because she was not used to this noisy and crowded environment.

Meilin's mood at the moment is actually very good. On the one hand, it is because his brother Koji Lang finally made up his mind not to make trouble at the opening ceremony, and on the other hand, it is obviously because Duowu has rarely calmed down.

When they arrived at the established waiting area and waited to enter, Meilin, who was standing in his position, began to try to identify the other top 256 figures in the crowd with interest, wanting to see if they were as abnormal as Duowu.

As Merlin thought, most contestants were a little nervous as if they were Duowu. Those with low levels had at least a changeable expression and restlessness, while those with slightly higher levels had stiff movements and violent emotions. The ones with the highest levels had a simple action and feet, and when they walked, they looked at the part above their necks without moving. A sweaty face appeared on the face, with a convulsive and ferocious face. There was no spirit in the stare and only dullness, and his lips were trembling. His hands were clenched tightly and his entire upper body was shaking. He looked so nervous that he seemed to collapse at any time.

The top 256 players of this Quartz Conference have been lined up before the F channel of the main venue. Although most of the contestants were quite nervous, there were still some of them who looked calm and relaxed on the outside. Among them, they were naturally represented by the two cousins ​​of the Damu family. The handsome Xiaolu always looked as if she was holding the trophy of the champion, and she seemed to have held the champion's trophy in her palm. However, when he occasionally moved his eyes to Xiao Chi, he would faintly reveal a hint of passionate fighting spirit. And Xiaomao, who was also handsome, looked arrogant and complacent, seemed to not take the other 200 people at all.

Except for the two cousins ​​of the Damu family, some other confident guys are mostly older "seniors". These guys obviously have more than once experiences in conferences, so they appear much more calm.

Among the top 256, only Meilin, who was standing in the corner of the front row, was blatantly looking around curiously. Even if the other players were curious about the reactions of others, they would only dare to look at the situation of the people near the surroundings, and would not dare to put on a pergola like Meilin, holding her hands and looking around with her feet raised.

"Bang~"

"Bang~~"

"Bang~~~"

Suddenly, a series of fireworks were fired from the main venue into the air, and bright fireworks bloomed in the red sunset. As the fireworks dissipated, dozens of huge pure red spheres hanging in the air in the venue opened from the air one after another. In each opened sphere, dozens of flapping their wings and flew into the air. Around the sky above the venue, they gathered into a long queue, slowly hovering.

As the audience circled, the slightly hoarse voice of the commentator came from the broadcaster everywhere in the venue: "Okay, the opening ceremony of the Quartz Conference has finally begun. Excellent Pokémon trainers and their Pokémons used their unique tricks and power to compete for the real sword victory and defeat. The winner of this conference not only got the reputation of Pokémon trainers, but also a test they must pass before they became the masters of everyone's sights."

At the same time, the gate of F channel slowly opened, and several conference staff rushed out from inside, indicating that the most nervous top 256 were ready for the final preparations for the entry.

After the commentator finished a brief commentary and hot field, Mr. Dama Lanqi, a lifelong honorary chairman of the International Pokémon Federation, as an important VIP, and a series of heavyweight guests, including the current executive chairman of the International Pokémon Federation, an important official of the Guandu Regional Alliance, the chairman of the Quartz Conference Committee, the Supreme and Four Heavenly Kings of the Guandu Regional Alliance, and several representatives of the special trainer, entered the venue in turn.

Then, the entrance ceremony for the top 256 was the first.

"Okay, after the intense and cruel one-on-one knockout round, the 256 players entered the court one after another. Each of them was a trainer who won more than eight or more gym badges in Guandu area."

Cheers one after another, and passionate melody filled Merlin's ears, making him unable to hear what the commentator was saying. He just followed the rehearsal process and walked towards the mechanical version of the predetermined position with a symmetrical pace. Before entering the venue, Merlin really didn't mean much tension, but after entering the venue, he felt the warmth and atmosphere in the venue in an immersive way and even Merlin became really nervous. He stiffened his body and did not dare to look around anymore, but just stared at the scene in front of him. He moved his mechanical steps and walked forward step by step, but his heart was already surging so hard that it was beyond words.

This simple word appeared in the mind of the conference. At this moment, Merlin realized how complicated the meaning and heavy weight these two words had.

After finally moving his footsteps to the established location, standing directly below the pyrotechnic platform, Merlin repeatedly thought about something in his chaotic mind: End it quickly

For Merlin, who was extremely nervous, the remaining parts of igniting the sacred fire, various speeches, and various oaths had no meaning or value. He just wanted to end this tense entanglement quickly, find a quiet environment to sort out his thoughts and organize his emotions.

Looking at the rostrum blankly, Merlin's performance at this moment is no better than Xiao Zhi, who he had been secretly mocking before.
