After saying goodbye to Ash, Wang Yu rode Lugia and flew towards the contestant town. Not long after, they arrived at the town. Outside the town, Wang Yu asked Lugia to land.
"Wang Yu!" At this moment, Wang Yu heard a voice calling him. Wang Yu turned around and looked at the other party. Looking at this outfit, Wang Yu roughly guessed who this guy was.
"Gary! You're here very early." Wang Yu said to this person.
"Wang Yu! I heard from my grandfather that you have a very powerful Pokémon. Is it this Pokémon?" Gary said. Gary Mao was Dr. Oki's grandson, so it was normal for him to know about Wang Yu's situation.
"It's called Lugia, a legendary Pokémon," Wang Yu told him straightforwardly.
"I look forward to fighting you in the Challenger League."
"I'm looking forward to it too!"
Gary left after saying that.
Wang Yu looked at the competitors around him. Most of them were around 10 years old, and some of them were slightly older. Wang Yu was a little speechless when he saw this. Most of them were probably descenders.
These descenders had probably heard about the Alliance Challenge from somewhere and rushed over from various places. However, there were really too many of them. However, most of them were probably here to watch the show. A small number were here to participate in the competition.
Not long after, Wang Yu saw Ash and the other two.
"Ash, I'm here." Wang Yu called out to Ash and the other two.
"Wang Yu, are you waiting for us?" Ash asked.
"Yes. I'm waiting here for you guys to come and drink some water. Let's stay together tonight," Wang Yu said.
"Sure," Ash agreed immediately.
"That's nothing! I'm a girl and I haven't agreed yet," Misty said unhappily.
"Didn't we eat and sleep together when we traveled together?" Ash asked.
"…"
"As expected of a straight man," Wang Yu thought.
Then, they found their accommodation together. In the end, they were still arranged to stay together by the staff.
"Looks like your struggles are useless," Wang Yu said to Misty.
"Looks like that's the only way." Misty sighed helplessly.
Just like that, the night passed. On the way, Ash went out once. Wang Yu discovered it, but he did not chase after him. This was because Wang Yu knew that Ash had gone to the arena and was trying his best to improve there.
The next morning, the contestants gathered in the arena. According to the original plot, there should only be about 100 people. Now, there were probably more than 500 people in the arena. That meant that at least 300 people were descenders. Wasn't this a little too many?
At this moment, a ball split open in the air and a group of people flew out.
"Is this really a peace bird from the world of Pokémon?" A descender beside him asked.
"Probably!" another descender chimed in.
The two of them seemed to be together.
At this moment, a voice sounded from the loudspeaker.
"Alright! The opening ceremony of the Pokémon Alliance has finally begun. The outstanding trainers and their Pokémons will use their ultimate moves to compete and win this big competition. By winning the championship, not only will you gain honor, this is also a path that every Master Pokémon Trainer has to pass through…" Blah, blah, blah, blah. Then, he lit the holy flame.
At that moment, Team Rocket arrived and tore down the entire platform. Then, Ash appeared and said a lot of things that the protagonist should say. In the end, it became the Moltres that burned down the Rocket Team's machine. Then, they put the platform back and turned it into the Flame.
Then, the president of Pokémon Alliance said a lot of things to motivate the trainers. Finally, the opening ceremony ended.
Then it was time for the trainers to sign in.
"Please take out your trainer registration card," the registrar said when he saw Wang Yu and the others.
At this moment, Xiao Gang rushed forward. "What a beautiful lady. Your sweet smile has already been imprinted in my heart. My name is Xiao Gang. May I know your name, Miss?"
"Alright! The way back is here." Misty immediately went to push Xiao Gang away.
"I'm Wang Yu from Town Of Beginning." Then, Wang Yu took out the Pokédex.
"Wang Yu, your Pokédex seems to be different from last time," Ash said at this moment.
"This is the latest Pokédex. There are very few copies of this Pokédex now. To be able to obtain this Pokédex means that you're a powerful trainer," the registrar said.
"No! It's nothing. Ash, when you go back to Dr. Oki, he'll send you another one," Wang Yu said to Ash.
"I'm Ash from Town Of Beginning. Thank you!" Ash took out his Pokédex and started to register.
Finally, they had to wait for the battle venue.
