The first climax of the lottery ceremony came suddenly.
When the name "Donghuang Region - Xia Chen" appeared on the screen, there was a lot of noise from the whole place.
Even among the eight best young trainers in each region, Xia Chen is undoubtedly the one with the highest reputation and popularity.
And his relationship with Sirona is even more talked about.
So when Sirona took out Xia Chen first, the show was quite effective.
The cameraman knew how to shoot Xia Chen and Sirona in the contestants' seats and on the stage.
Sirona, who was entranced, looked in the direction of Xia Chen with a smile in her eyes, and the latter smiled helplessly and shook his head.
Of course, being the first one to be drawn does not prove anything, nor does it have any impact on the process and results of the game. It can only be said that in a sense, it is considered luck.
What really matters is who he draws in the first round.
The answer to this question will be revealed by Cattleya.
After the emotions in the audience calmed down a little, Cattleya's thoughts moved slightly, and a ball flew out of the glass box.
The note was unfolded, and Xia Chen's opponent for the first round was revealed.
Kanto region - green!
The audience was in an uproar.
The two favorites to win this time actually met so early!
Although this was not an extremely unlikely event in a small cup with only eight people, when it actually happened, many people were still surprised.
The camera immediately split the screen to show the first pair of opponents drawn out, Xia Chen and Qinglu.
The former had no expression, while the latter was stunned for a moment, but then showed an eagerness to try.
No one appeared timid or afraid, at least not on the surface.
Obviously, they all have the confidence to defeat their opponents.
This is not surprising, the trainers who can stand on this battlefield all have strong self-confidence.
…………
The drawing ceremony will not be interrupted because of the screams of the audience. The second pair, the third pair...the remaining three sets of the four games also took place in the hands of Cattleya and Sirona.
They are today’s first game, Alice vs. Dakdo, tomorrow’s first game, Daigo vs. Mari, and tomorrow’s second game, Ailan vs. Nemo.
Except for the first game, there is basically no strong confrontation.
The lottery that Alice drew was Dakdo, who is basically considered to be the weakest by the outside world. The gap in strength between Marli and Dawu is also quite obvious. Only Ailan and Nemo are in the same group in terms of strength. What is the result?
Good prediction.
After the draw, which caused a lot of discussion, the first game did not start immediately. The organizers very considerately left a few hours of pre-game preparation time for the players. The first game will be at two o'clock in the afternoon.
Officially begin.
Naturally, the audience cannot wait in vain during these few hours of free time, otherwise all the people will be gone in a short time.
Just like the halftime show of the Super Bowl, the most famous baseball game in the past, the game officials still presented their trump card, which was the song and dance that everyone loved.
The audience continued to enjoy the stage performance that they had not seen enough before, and the players were also arranging strategies for the elves in their respective lounges.
Naturally, Xia Chen was included.
At this time, he was discussing the most important thing with the elves, which was the elves to appear in this game.
Green's lineup is relatively transparent. Regardless of what elves he hides, his main lineup is Water Arrow Turtle, Bankiras, Super Armored Rhinoceros, Hu Di, Wind Speed Dog and Fossil Pterosaur.
A team that vaguely resembles the Sandstorm Team, but is more comprehensive.
Among them, the strength of his initial elf, the ace elf Blastoise, reached the gym level as early as last year.
And the fossilized pterosaur hatched from ancient fossils not long ago has mysterious powers.
This type of fossil elf is different from the egg-born elf. Scientists resurrected it by extracting the genes remaining in the fossil, so its strength has a lot to do with its life.
Although he has just joined the team, his strength cannot be underestimated.
As for the other elves in Qinglu, except for Bankilas, their strength is relatively average. Before the game, it was estimated that they would be around the gym level, about the same as Xia Chen.
…………
"Meinas, Zoroark, will you two have any problem in this match?"
After thinking for a while, Xia Chen looked at the two elves and asked.
He didn't ask anyone who was willing to play or anything like that. To this question, the only one who could answer no was probably Gu Ledun.
Menas restrains several rock-type elves and fire-type wind speed dogs in the green team, and can be used as the core suppression point.
Zoroark has no restraint relationship with the opponent elf. The reason why she was selected is that Xia Chen asked her to accumulate more combat experience——
Although she has rich experience in actual combat, it is still slightly different from playing in the arena.
"Fuwu! (Understood!)"
"So! (Understood!)"
Of course, the two elves didn't have any problems, and they responded in a low voice with some excitement.
There has been no competition for more than half a year, but they are also eager to defeat powerful enemies on the battlefield, continue to climb, and win one championship after another for Xia Chen.
The competition rules of the World Youth Championship are 3v3. Now that he has chosen the second of the three, Xia Chen looked around at the elves who were eager to try, thought about it again and again, and finally set his sights on Sai Fuhao.
"Saifuhao, the last one, how about you go up?"
In more than half a year, Xia Chen had already finished Saifuhao's evolution paper, even if he was still procrastinating.
Before he left Padia at the end of last month, he mailed this paper to the editorial team of "Elf Evolution" which he had not submitted for a long time, so in theory, there would be no problem for Sai Fuhao to appear at any time.
The timing was about right, and Xia Chen didn't want to wait until the finals were at their hottest before letting Sai Fuhao appear, so he simply arranged for him to appear in the first round.
Saifuhao's eyes lit up. He didn't expect that he would be able to appear so soon, and he immediately issued a military order excitedly.
"Kud! (I will definitely win this game. If I don't win, I will never collect coins again!)"
This chapter is not over yet, please click on the next page to continue reading! Although it has evolved, Saifuhao's love for coins remains the same. This kind of oath can be considered quite serious.
In short, the lineup for the first round of the World Youth Championship against Green and Green has been decided. Xiao Duolong, who was a little disappointed because he didn't play, was appeased for a while, and it was almost lunch time.
Raven Arena has an elf restaurant specially prepared for contestants. While eating, Xia Chen met seven other people as expected.
Qinglu didn't deliberately avoid Xia Chen because of the afternoon game. He took Blastoise and the others with him and he ran over to share the table with ease.
…………
"How about it, have you thought about what elf to use to deal with the powerful cannon barrel of my Water Arrow Turtle?"
Although Qinglu sounded proud, he was still relatively restrained in front of Xia Chen. When he was young and frivolous, he would call himself "my uncle" in front of others.
Xia Chen smiled and replied jokingly: "You tell me and I'll tell you."
Seeing that Xia Chen had no tricks, Qinglv curled her lips and said, "Forget it, let's see Zhen Zhang on the field in the afternoon!"
Proud to be proud, but Qinglu is not stupid enough to do such an important thing as revealing his lineup in front of an evenly matched opponent.
The two stopped talking about the afternoon game, and lunch time passed quickly.
At two o'clock sharp, the game between Alice and Dakto officially started.
And this game, which in the eyes of most viewers would not have too many surprises, was full of unexpected surprises.
It even came as a surprise, shocking Daye Adek in the commentary booth, Cattleya, Sirona and other champions in the guest booth.
Because, the elf of Dakdor is the legendary...nightmare god Darkrai!
A genuine legendary elf!
When this shadow-like elf appeared on the battlefield, the whole place was in an uproar.
If you have to use something to describe the degree of shock of the audience, then the commentary of former United Champion Adek can reveal the tip of the iceberg.
"My God of Creation! My Arceus! What did I see? A legendary elf? A legendary elf that appeared on the battlefield? Audience friends, please remember this moment, Alliance Calendar 2025 July 7
On August 7th, after 37 years, since the last time we fought against the legendary Ma Shide using his Elf Martial Arts Bear Master in the Eight Masters Tournament, we once again saw the legendary Elf on the battlefield! He is the player from the Sinnoh region.
,Dakdo!"
This level and influence is enough to show how the appearance of Dakdor and Darkrai shocked the world.
The reaction of the audience was even more exaggerated. In just half a minute after Darkrai appeared, the live broadcast room of this game was so flooded with barrages that it almost shut down.
…………
"Holy shit, shit, shit! Legendary Elf Nightmare God Darkrai? Are you serious?"
"It can't be Zoroark, can it? Even if it is, it means there is a Darkrai in Dakoto's team!"
"How can he be Darkrai's [mythical beast user] just because the word Dark is in his name?"
"Don't tell me, his gloomy temperament matches well with Darkrai. As for the name...could it be that the guardian elf of their family is this Darkrai?"
"I had thought that a legendary elf might appear in this competition. I thought it was Guluton, but I didn't expect it to be Darkrai!"
"Don't be ridiculous, whether Xia Chen has conquered Guluton or not is a different matter. There is only one divine beast user in the world, and that is Dakdo of our first alliance, the Sinnoh Alliance!"
"Another brainless Sinnoh fan started clamoring. How many times have they won the inter-regional kings battle? How many times have they won the championship battle? Sirona started to talk about the first league after winning the Eighth Masters Championship. Don't forget that she is now ranked first.
The alliance is still United!"
The topic of the barrage quickly shifted from the shock at the appearance of the legendary elf to a meaningless war of words, and amidst the buzz of discussion, Darkrai's debut officially began.
I don't know whether it was because of the flash of lightning or because the speed was too fast. The black shadow flashed past, and Darkrai was in front of Kuailong in an instant.
The energy of the evil energy was condensed, and when it raised its hand, it revealed an exclusive skill called Dark Hole. Kuailong fell into a drowsy sleep. Darkrai skillfully connected with Dream Eater, and then... Kuailong lost his ability to fight.
That's right, a quasi-god dragon with a strength close to the gym level and the ability to resist damage at full state [multiple scales] fell!
Not only that, Alice's second Elf Double Ax Battle Dragon and her third Elf Dragon-headed Gopher, both of which were close to gym-level elves, were all destroyed by Darkrai's simple [Dark Hole] plus [Eating].
Dream]'s combos can be easily solved.
At this point, the host Alice was defeated by Dakdo and used an unexpected Darkrai to complete the feat of one-penetrating three without any damage!
The whole place is excited!
There is no doubt that the strength of this Darkrai far exceeds Alice's level. Is it King level? Champion level? Or...legendary level?
No one knows it, because the whole performance is so relaxed and freehand.
In just two minutes, a 3v3 match ended, and most of the time was spent on the shocked and desperate Alice changing spirits.
She failed to pose any threat to Darkrai, so Darkrai's strength remains a mystery.
Under the shocked and excited gazes of the entire audience, Dakoto calmly took back Darkrai and walked off the battlefield.
Behind him was Alice, who couldn't calm down for a long time.
…………
The appearance of the legendary elf on the field of the World Youth Championship spread throughout the Internet world in a very short period of time. Many spectators came to watch, only to find that the game had ended.
However, these people who were diverted did not leave immediately, because the next game was also worth looking forward to.
Xia Chen, a man who had entanglements with many legendary elves and was rumored to have conquered Gulledun.
Now that Darkrai has appeared, will Guluton appear in this game with Green?
There is about half an hour's interval between the two games, and this time just leaves room for the fermentation of public opinion.
At 2:30 in the afternoon, the second game of the first round of the World Youth Championship, Xia Chen VS Qinglu, is about to begin!
On both sides of the battlefield, Xia Chen and Qinglu stood opposite each other. Their mentality was not affected by the last game.
For Xia Chen, the appearance of Darkrai does not allow him to change the lineup for this game. As for whether he should send out Gulledon when he meets Daxed in the next round or finals, and go back and fight Gulledon again.
communicate.
And green has almost the same idea.
He couldn't decide whether Xia Chen would go to Guluton or not. He had to fight how he should fight.
As the referee blew his whistle, two white lights flashed, and the elves from both sides appeared!
They are Menus and Blastoise, a not particularly surprising opening.
Menas restrains most of the elves in the green lineup, and Blastoise is not only the ace elf of green, but also an elf that is not afraid of Menas.
Although it was expected, there were still slight boos in the audience at this time. They were inevitably a little disappointed not to see Gullerton appear.
"Blastoise, rock blockade!"
"Meinas, freeze dry!"
The battle will not be interrupted due to other factors. Under the command of the trainers on both sides, the two elves began to release their moves.
