Chapter 1203: Entering the Champion Road
The plane slowly landed at the airport on the edge of Champion Island and stopped smoothly.
They found the airport staff, completed the registration procedures, and handed over the air pirates who were locked in the warehouse.
The staff arrested the criminals on the spot and ensured the safety of the competition.
Immediately afterwards, the alliance personnel who accompanied them boarded the official helicopter and headed directly to the venue.
The contestants need to go through the "Champions Road" to reach the competition venue.
Standing at the entrance of the "Champion Road", looking at the endless flourishing forest before him, Cen Zhi couldn't help but sigh:
"The scenery here is so beautiful, you can't tell it's a man-made island."
"Don't let your guard down. The wild Pokémon in this forest are very dangerous. Many of the contestants couldn't even make it to the venue."
Xiao Yichen, the only one among the five who had experience in participating in competitions, reminded them.
Cen Zhi nodded to show that he understood.
He looked around curiously and suddenly found that Xia Nantian and the others were not around.
"Hey? Where are Xia Guanjun and the others?" Cen Zhi asked puzzledly.
"Oh, you mean them."
Yun Chang yawned, stretched out her slender jade finger lazily, and pointed to the depths of the forest, "They have already set off."
"Aren't we going to act together?"
"Different teams cannot enter the 'Road to Champions' together. They are Team One and we are Team Two."
"Shall we go then, Captain?"
However, Lin Yi did not respond as eagerly as Cen Zhi. He slowly touched his chin, his eyes fixed on the contestants from other countries, as if observing their every move.
There were not many people at the entrance at this time. After all, the Chinese team was one of the later teams to arrive.
Cen Zhi noticed Lin Yi's strangeness, followed his gaze, and a trace of doubt arose in his heart.
"Strange, is it my illusion? Why does the team from that country always keep their eyes on us?" Cen Zhi muttered to himself.
He observed the team carefully and saw that they were wearing the same uniform with the national flag embroidered on it. It seemed to be a French team.
Lu Xinghui also noticed this and was equally curious. She couldn't help but ask, "Captain, did you find anything wrong?"
Lin Yi withdrew his gaze from the team, shook his head slightly, and said, "Nothing, maybe I'm just overthinking. Let's go in."
After saying that, Lin Yi took the lead and stepped into the forest. Seeing this, the other four followed closely and stepped into this unknown territory together.
The French team's gazes followed the figures of the five people who disappeared into the depths of the forest. Only when they were completely out of sight did the Four Heavenly Kings come to their senses and continue to question.
"Why should we focus on Huaxia Team 2 instead of Team 1?"
One of the Four Heavenly Kings of France looked at the other four with suspicion and couldn't help but ask.
At this time, the champion standing in the front, a man with fair skin, fiery red hair and three-dimensional facial features, was holding a book in his hands and reading it intently, without even turning his head.
Hearing the Four Heavenly Kings' question, he simply replied, "This is Hannah's request."
"Hannah?"
Another of the Four Heavenly Kings repeated doubtfully, "Are you talking about the German champion?"
The champion nodded slightly and responded, "Yeah."
"Why does she want us to deal with China's second team?" asked the third of the Four Heavenly Kings.
Champion closed the book and explained in a calm tone:
"From what I know, Hannah's old lover seems to have some grudge against the captain of Huaxia Team 2. We have always been on good terms with Germany, so she asked us to help deal with the young man from Team 2."
"That's it?"
The fourth of the Four Heavenly Kings seemed to think that the matter was a little simple and asked in disbelief.
The champion raised his lips slightly, revealing a barely perceptible smile, and said:
"Of course, it won't be for nothing. In this league, Germany will help us in other aspects, which can be regarded as a kind of exchange. We just need to make the Chinese second team disappear completely in this forest.
In addition, we also need to take the captain of the second team, Gyarados, away. This is a special request from Hannah’s old lover.”
"Then what are we waiting for? We have been waiting here for almost half a month, and our second team has already arrived at the stadium!" An impatient Four Heavenly Kings urged.
The champion glanced at him and said slowly:
"Don't worry. Since we've already waited this long, we don't mind waiting a little longer. Let's make full preparations first to ensure that nothing goes wrong."
"Okay, let's go." The other four heavenly kings echoed.
……
Deep in the forest, a huge fanged civet was lying quietly on a thick branch. Its ferocious face and sharp fangs made people shudder.
The fang cage's eyes were fixed on the few people walking slowly below, especially Xiao Yichen who was walking at the back, as if it regarded him as its prey.
Just as Fang Cage was about to launch an attack, Xiao Yichen suddenly sensed the approaching danger.
His reaction speed was extremely fast. He took out a Poké Ball from his waist in an instant and threw it towards the fang cage without hesitation.
"Firemon, Flame Wheel!"
With Xiao Yichen's shout, the Poké Ball opened in the air, and a Firebrute with flames burning all over its body rushed out roaring.
The back of the Infernape was wrapped in raging flames. It quickly turned its body and rushed straight towards the Fang Cage like a burning wheel of fire.
The Fanged Cage obviously did not expect Xiao Yichen to react so quickly. It was knocked away by the Fire Beast's flame wheel, its body tumbling in the air and being set on fire.
Fangcage let out a terrified scream and then fled in a panic.
"here we go again?"
Looking at the fleeing figure of Fang Cage, the crowd did not show much surprise. In fact, because they had encountered too many similar attacks along the way, their nerves were a little numb.
Cen Zhi sighed helplessly and said:
"I've been exploring the Amazon rainforest for more than three months, but I didn't expect that the Pokémon here are more numerous and more dangerous than in the Amazon rainforest.
We have only been in the forest for less than half an hour, and how many Pokémon have we already encountered?"
Xiao Yichen seemed relatively calm. He rubbed Infernape's head, praised it gently, and then put Infernape back into the Poké Ball.
Then he shrugged and said with a smile: "You'll get used to it."
"Xiao Yichen, you have participated in two global leagues. How long did it take you to reach the championship in the past?" Lin Yi suddenly asked while looking at the map in his hand.
Xiao Yichen thought for a moment and replied, "In the past, our second team members basically took about half a month."
Lin Yi nodded, and then asked, "What about the members of that team?"
Xiao Yichen was silent for a while, then said: "The champions... usually take about three days. If they are in a hurry, it won't take even half a day."
Hearing this answer, everyone couldn't help but gasp. They once again deeply felt the huge gap between themselves and the Four Heavenly Kings and the Champion, and couldn't help but sigh.
