At this time, the Quartz Plateau in the Kanto area held the annual Quartz Conference as scheduled. This morning was the opening ceremony, and Linton's nephew, Xiao Mao, was waiting at the entrance of the Quartz Stadium.
Of course, Xiaomao didn't come here to participate in the competition. Now his main job is a researcher, not a Pokémon trainer. He came here this time just as a spectator to watch the game, and of course he also met his grandfather, Dr. Oki, because Dr. Oki was invited as a guest of the Quartz Conference. He met. Come here, and by the way, pay attention to the Quartz Conference.
At this time, Dr. Oki, as a guest, was naturally preparing for the opening ceremony backstage, and Xiaomao was not in a hurry to go to the backstage to find Dr. Oki. After all, Dr. Oki should be very busy now, and he has nothing particularly important. It's not too late to go after today's game.
At present, there is still some time before the opening of the conference, and the audience can already enter the venue. However, there are many people checking tickets now, and Xiaomao is also waiting for a while. While he was waiting for the ticket check, an orange door suddenly opened in front of him.
"Dear nephew, uncle, I'm coming to see you!" Accompanied by hearty laughter, a figure that was not very familiar to Xiaomao, but it was very unforgettable for Xiaomao, walked out of the portal.
"It's you?" Xiao Mao was taken aback. Although he and Linton didn't get along very long, this guy is really hard to forget. Xiaomao can simply use one word to describe the process of getting along with Linton, that is... haggard.
"It's impolite, call uncle." Linton said with a smile.
"You are not my uncle!" Xiao Mao shouted directly.
"Oh? That...isn't it?" Linton hesitated for a while. In fact, he didn't remember whether he recognized Xiaomao as his nephew, but if the Flying Thunder God mark hit him, there is a high probability that he would still recognize it. , "Whatever, you will be my nephew from now on."
"Can you stop talking to yourself like that?" Xiaomao yelled directly, "Hoo...forget it, why are you here? By the way, where did you go before? Have you returned to Huaxia? Why didn't you even say hello? "
"Oh, I did go back to Huaxia before, and I was a little anxious and didn't have time to say hello." Linton said simply, "Didn't I come back this time to see you specially?"
"Why did you come to see me specially?" Xiaomao raised his forehead, "By the way, you appeared here so suddenly, was that also the ability of Huaxia's Pokémon just now?"
"Oh, no, uncle, I just finished the space war, and I'm already invincible. Traveling through dimensions is as easy as eating and drinking." Linton said, "By the way, where is this?"
"..." Xiaomao was a little speechless, and automatically filtered out some cosmic wars and other things in his mind, and pointed directly at the sports field behind and said, "This is the Quartz Stadium, and the Quartz Conference is about to be held right now."
"The Quartz Conference." Linton nodded. He knew that. He still remembered a lot of things from the first generation, such as the first generation of elves, and the first generation of Pokémon Contest, which is the Quartz Conference. He still remembers the plot where the protagonist Xiaozhi was finally sentenced to lose because of the fire-breathing dragon's disobedience, and after that, it also started the bad luck of not being a champion for more than ten years.
"Are you here to attend the Quartz Conference?" Linton looked at Xiaomao and asked.
"No, I'm just here to watch the game, so I'll find Grandpa by the way." Xiaomao pointed in the direction of the stadium, "Grandpa was invited as a guest of the competition, and is currently preparing for the opening ceremony backstage."
"Aren't you going?" Linton said.
"Hmph, with my current strength, participating in the conference is a bit of a bully for newcomers. Let's give the newcomers trainers a chance to play." Xiaomao said. "So... have you ever won a championship?" Linton asked suddenly.
"Haven't you even won a championship? At this level..."
"Shut up! There is no road race! This competition is not for everyone to be the champion, okay? If you have the ability, you can try it." Xiaomao directly broke the defense and roared.
"Oh? That's fine, I have to show you this, come, sign up for me." Linton said with a smile.
"Do you have eight gym badges?" Xiaomao asked.
"Of course not, I just came from China." Linton said.
"Do you have a graduation certificate from Pokémon School?" Xiaomao asked again.
"What the hell, of course not." Linton spread his hands.
"You don't even have the qualifications to sign up, okay?" Xiaomao roared, "Let's not talk about signing up for the competition, you don't even have a ticket to watch the game."
"Hey, what kind of rubbish competition is this? Isn't the competition to choose the strongest trainer? As the strongest trainer, it's okay if I don't allow registration. I just give out a place to participate in the competition every year. No need to compare, forget about the official champion." Linton said.
"What nonsense are you talking about..." Xiaomao hadn't finished speaking when a voice suddenly came from beside him.
"I can't pretend that I didn't hear this." This was said by a person who sounded quite old. Xiaomao also turned his head when he heard the sound. When he saw the old man coming towards them, he panicked and hurriedly said hello To: "President Damaranch, hello."
Coming towards them was the chairman of the executive committee of the Pokémon League, called Damarange. The Quartz Conference is also a conference hosted by the Pokémon Alliance, so it is equivalent to saying bad things about others in front of others and being caught.
Xiao Mao had a headache. Not only did he know President Damarachi, he was quite familiar with him. After all, President Damarachi and his grandfather were old acquaintances. It is not an exaggeration to say that he watched Xiao Mao grow up. Of course, Xiao Mao is also quite afraid of this old man.
Chairman Damalanqi didn't care about Xiaomao first, after all, in his eyes, Xiaomao was the same as his own juniors, and he was not in a hurry to scold him. He looked directly at Linton and asked, "So what you said just now is that you suspect that there is something shady about the Quartz Conference?"
"Chairman Damarachi, this is a Pokémon trainer from China, Linton. He doesn't know much about the Quartz Conference." Xiaomao took the initiative to explain to Linton.
"A trainer from China? I seem to have heard about it from your grandfather." President Damarachi is indeed very familiar with Dr. Oki, and he also heard about it from Dr. Oki before.
"In short, I am the strongest trainer. You said that the purpose of this conference is to determine the strongest? Then why can't I even register? Isn't there any problem?" Linton continued of course.
