Chapter 194 Tiandu Plateau Wild Area
The final day of the Starlight City competition.
Xia Yu vs. Li Zhiqiang.
Li Zhiqiang's three Pokémon, Flitos, Mantis, and Beedrill, are all weak to fire. Among them, Flitos and Mantis, which have both insect and steel attributes, are four times weak to fire.
In terms of attributes, Xia Yu can be said to have a big advantage. In terms of hard power, Xia Yu also has a big advantage, plus today's sunny weather.
Therefore, 2% of the audience predicted that Xia Yu would win the game with a score of 0-2, and the remaining nearly 1% of the audience predicted that Xia Yu would win the game with a score of -.
As for losing the game, no one even thought about it.
The final result of the game was just as everyone expected. Xia Yu's Charizard showed absolute dominance as soon as he appeared on the court. He easily defeated Li Zhiqiang and won the championship of this year's College Cup Starlight City.
Li Zhiqiang behaved very freely and he was very happy to get the second place. After all, he knew that there was a huge gap between him and Xia Yu.
The competition in Starlight City has come to a temporary end, and a month-long off-season will follow.
This is also because Xingguang City has the least number of participants and all the preliminaries were completed in one week. Big cities like Tiandu often need a month or half a month to complete the preliminaries, which gives the contestants from Xingguang City time to recuperate and train.
During the long off-season, the Starlight City Pokémon Association officials were not idle. In order to achieve better results this year, they specially organized this year's top four players to participate in intensive training.
The training camp was held in an uninhabited area in the western mountainous area of Xishu Province, known as the most dangerous and harshest area, in the wilderness area of the Tiandu Plateau.
The Tiandu Plateau Wilderness Area is an officially prohibited hunting zone. It is also the largest wilderness area in Western Sichuan Province, covering a very vast area and with complex terrain.
Because it is located in the plateau area, the oxygen in the wilderness area of Tiandu Plateau is thin and rarely visited by people. The Pokémon living here have excellent physical fitness and are larger in size, and their qualifications are much higher than ordinary Pokémon. There are also some special Pokémon living here, such as Tuwang, Kentaro-Fighting, Kentaro-Water, and Kentaro-Fire.
At the same time, there are a large number of rare Pokémon living in the wilderness area of Tiandu Plateau. These rare Pokémon are powerful, rare in number, extremely aggressive, and their danger factor is quite high.
There are quite a lot of Overlord-level Pokémon and even Gym Leader-level Pokémon living in the Wild Area, and occasionally you can also see Pokémon with quasi-king-level strength.
Rare and powerful Pokémon naturally attracted the covetousness of poachers. In order to protect the Pokémon in the wilderness area, the Pokémon official established a wilderness patrol team, among which two king-level trainers served as the captain and deputy captain of the patrol team and were stationed there for a long time.
…………
Due to the harsh geographical conditions, the fastest way to reach the wilderness area of Tendu Plateau is to ride a flying Pokémon.
After a long four-hour flight, Xia Yu and his four companions finally arrived in Huichuan County, where the Tiandu Plateau wilderness area is located.
Huichuan County has undulating mountains, crisscrossing rivers, high mountains and steep slopes, and complex terrain, which is mainly composed of mountains, hills and plains.
This small town is located in the mountains and has a sparse population, but it is particularly rich in mineral resources. It is known as the "Mineral Museum" of Western Sichuan Province. The iconic Pokémon here is Diamond.
After Xia Yu and his three companions entered Huichuan County, they took a short rest and continued to ride their flying Pokémon along the mountains and rivers. After flying for nearly an hour, they finally arrived at Qingshan Town, the nearest town to the Tiandu Plateau wilderness area.
The first impression that Qingshan Town gave to Xia Yu and others was that it was deserted and dilapidated. It can be seen that Qingshan Town's economic conditions and infrastructure construction are quite backward.
The sun was scorching and the weather was hot. There were almost no pedestrians on the streets. Only a few elderly people and children were sitting in the square, enjoying the cool in the shade.
Qingshan Town is economically poor, and most of the young people in the town choose to work outside. Most of those who remain in the town are local miners and left-behind elderly and children.
When Xia Yu and his three companions, led by Xia Yong, arrived at Qingshan Square, a man with a dark face and wearing a forest patrol uniform was standing upright. He had a resolute expression and a fierce look on his face. Although his face was dark, his eyes were bright and he saw Xia Yu and the others from a distance.
"Brother Yong!" the dark-skinned man shouted.
"Captain Wu!" Xia Yong said with a smile.
"Brother Yong, just call me Xiaoqiang. Now you are here." Captain Wu hurried over to greet Xia Yong.
When Xia Yong was young, he and Xu Xiu were also selected to join the patrol team for two years. It was also in the patrol team that Xia Yong captured a burning bug and began his rise. Xu Xiu also captured a Zoroark in the patrol team that year, which greatly improved his strength.
When Captain Wu joined the team, Xia Yong had already been transferred back to Xingguang City, and only Xu Xiu was still in the forest patrol team. He often heard Xu Xiu mention Xia Yong, and Xia Yong would come every two or three years, so the two of them became more and more familiar with each other.
"Xingguang City has made great achievements this year, but I was worried about not being able to find a place to train, so I thought of you. I'll leave you here. I have something else to do, so I'll leave first." Xia Yong gave Wu Dongqiang a few instructions and prepared to turn around and leave.
"Brother Yong, let's have a meal before you leave. I'll treat you to a drink." Wu Dongqiang enthusiastically pulled Xia Yong and insisted on treating him to a drink.
"Forget it." Xia Yong shook his head. He lowered his voice and said to Wu Dongqiang, "I have something else to do. I have to go visit the old captain later. Next time I come to pick them up, I will treat everyone in the patrol team to a drink."
When he heard that he was going to visit the old captain, Wu Dongqiang stopped trying to persuade him and nodded: "Okay, Brother Yong, just leave them to me. But we have to make a deal, you must drink next time you come, and I will give you the wine and the people at the same time."
"no problem!"
…………
As soon as Xia Yong left, Wu Dongqiang turned his eyes to the four people present.
"Welcome, everyone. I am Wu Dongqiang, the captain of the third squad of the patrol team in the wilderness area of Tiandu Plateau. I will take you to the patrol team camp. You now have an hour to eat and prepare daily necessities."
"Go straight from here and turn right. There is the only supermarket in this town. You can only buy things there."
"There are few restaurants on the street. Go straight and turn left at two intersections. There is a good restaurant with cheap prices. Hurry up. I will only wait for you for an hour."
After Wu Dongqiang finished speaking, he left first, leaving only Xia Yu and the other three.
"Let's go eat something first." After riding on the flying Pokémon for several hours, Xia Yu and his friends were already starving, so they went together to the restaurant that Wu Dongqiang mentioned.
It's called a restaurant, but in fact it's just a fly-in-the-wall restaurant on the street, and the sanitary conditions are not very good. But when in Rome, do as the Romans do. You can't be picky in a place like Qingshan Town.
Although the environment of the fly restaurant is not very good, the food is still quite good. After a simple meal, the four of them went to the supermarket mentioned by Wu Dongqiang to buy some things. When they returned to the square, the time was just about right.
"Let's go, take your things and hike up the mountain. When you join the mountain patrol team, the most important thing is to obey orders. If anyone of you can't do it, you can leave immediately. Who wants to leave?"
The four of them were silent. Xia Yu looked at Wu Dongqiang and felt that he had come with bad intentions. It was obvious that he was trying to establish his authority right from the start.
"Very good." Wu Dongqiang showed a satisfied expression on his face: "Take your things up the mountain, and do not use any Pokémon."
