The venue for the Whirlpool Island Cup competition is different from the qualifiers. It is a huge circular water arena with a strong ancient Greek style. Every brick and stone in it has been in existence for an unknown number of years. It looks rich in history. Full.
The arena can accommodate 20,000 spectators at the same time. Its center is flowing sea water, and above the sea water, there are more than a dozen stone pillars of different sizes and heights for trainers. And the Pokémon stand.
Compared with the perfunctory preliminaries, the standard of the opening ceremony of the main match was undoubtedly much higher. Not only were the fireworks and salutes fired, but there was also an elegant and beautiful female priest holding a scepter in her hand. Host this competition
At nine o'clock in the morning, the entire stadium was already full, and countless spectators had been waiting here early and looking forward to it.
Xia You, Xiaozhi, Xiaoxia and the other 61 players took a dozen long and narrow wooden boats and sailed into the sports ground from the sea. On the boats, the players accepted the cheers from the surrounding audience. While being encouraged, they also stood up straight and tried their best to show their energetic side to the audience.
Looking at these players, the audience gave them great applause and cheers.
It was in this atmosphere that the male host's thick and clear voice began to echo over the arena, which also meant that the opening ceremony had officially begun
" Audiences, please watch. These are the players who pass the qualifying rounds every three years and aim to be the Hero of the Sea. Since ancient times, the Whirlpool Islands have had an independent culture and civilization. We worship water Pokémon and live with them. This culture still exists today. It has not disappeared, and continues to be passed down by the sea priestess Maya who has protected the tradition since ancient times."
What the host said, in fact, it was not until she became an official contestant last night that Xia You knew that the Uzumaki Islands Cup competition was more than just In a Pokémon competition, according to the ancient tradition, a brave man of the sea must be selected to participate in this ceremony
Listening to the host's introduction, Xia You couldn't help but turn his head again. Toward the main podium in the distance.
Because they were not very far apart, he could see clearly that the female priest was wearing a blue dress, holding a golden scepter, and her long purple hair was fluttering gently in the wind. Looking at the facial features, she looks very noble and elegant in terms of temperament alone.
However, Xia You has already experienced this kind of ritual once on Asia Island in the Orange Islands, and has also met the festival girls there, so she is not too unfamiliar with such a gimmick.
It’s just a formality, he thought to himself.
When Xiaozhi and Xiaoxia beside them saw Xia You turning his head, they couldn't help but follow his gaze and also saw the great priest.
Xiaoxia put her hands on her cheeks and said with envy, "So beautiful"
Xia You didn't know whether she was envious of the great priest's temperament or the great priest's attention. , or perhaps envious of something else.
The great priest is indeed very beautiful, but he is too small.Xia Xia has always considered herself to be the most beautiful girl in the world, so she is certainly not an ugly duckling. She is still young and has not fully grown yet. If she reaches the same age, Xia You believes that she will not be much worse.
At this time, I heard the host say again, "Well, now I want to ask the priest, Miss Maya, to make a declaration for the conference."
And in his words, I saw the great priest saying to Taking a step forward, she raised her scepter and said loudly, "Everyone, the triennial water Pokémon celebration has begun. On behalf of the Whirlpool Islands, I welcome everyone here. We live together with the water Pokémon. Those who control the sea and Pokémon have been praised as sea heroes since ancient times, and every sea hero will be blessed by the soul of the sea and given the ability to communicate with all water Pokémon
”
The soul of the sea is connected to the soul
Xia You’s eyes couldn’t help but move to the scepter in the priest’s hand.
The scepter is made of pure gold, shining with golden light under the sunlight, and there is a fist-sized blue round gemstone on the top. The gem emits blue light. Look. When you get up, you will know that it is not a vulgar thing.
"Then, I wish all the contestants good results, and then accept the blessings of the Soul of the Sea"
As the high priest raised his scepter, the Soul of the Sea instantly appeared in brilliant colors The light, which was soft and not dazzling, enveloped the entire sports ground
Including Xia You, who saw such a person for the first time, showed a look of surprise.
Is this the soul of the sea?
The light shone on Xia You and reflected everyone in blue. Although there was no other effect, Xia You also said Not sure, are these lights a stage effect, or does this blue gem really have some magical power?
After all, this world is not normal, and it would not be surprising even if there is something like a blessing.
At least judging from the more excited and fanatical reactions of the audience, they seem to really feel that the players in the field have become a little different at this moment
Behind them, Xiaozhi raised his hands, looked at the blue light on his hands, and murmured, "Are we really blessed?"
"Are you an idiot?" Xiaoxia beside her couldn't help but blush. He glanced at him, "Didn't the priest just say that only the last brave man of the sea will be blessed? This light now is just showing off the power of that gem."
"Ah, so "" Only then did Xiaozhi fully understand the rules. He sighed in disappointment, "What? Although I like the name of the Hero of the Sea very much, this kind of thing is just a false name. If I win the game in the end, wouldn't it be Nothing."
Xiaoxia sighed helplessly, "Please, did you read the process before the game? After the finals, the winner will not only receive the title of Brave, but also receive generous bonuses. There is even a mysterious drop of water, which is the real reward, but hum, this kind ofThe matter is destined to have nothing to do with you, and the one who wins the final victory will definitely be Brother Xia You."
Xiaoxia is a determined Xia Chui. She is brainless and has no hesitation in any competition or battle in which Xia You participates. He supported Xia You
As for Xiaoxia bragging about herself so much and frantically raising flags for herself, Xia You could only smile and shake her head.
However, he did not stop her. , after all, this is also his goal. Since he has participated, his goal is to be the champion. If he doesn’t want to win the game, then why should he be a trainer?
Although he also knows that Xia You is very powerful, Dan belittles himself towards Xiaoxia. , Xiaozhi was naturally dissatisfied, and argued angrily with Xiaoxia.
Listening to the fight between the two people behind, Xia You couldn't help but think of the mysterious water drop.
As Xiaoxia said, in addition to the bonus, the winner will also get a mysterious water drop, which is a magical stone. After wearing it, the power of Pokémon's water-based moves can be strengthened to a certain extent.
