Chapter 375 The Champion Seed!
"This is the information I've gathered about the top 32 members from the audience around me and some people with inside information!"
"I've marked the players I think are the strongest and most likely to win the championship with red circles!"
"You can take a look first!"
At the Pokémon Center's dining table, Brock was sending Qingyuan and the others the information he had collected about the players, while speaking to them.
"Of course, the information here may not be entirely accurate; you can only get a general idea!"
Seeing that Qingyuan and the others already had a copy of the player information, Xiao Gang seemed to realize that his previous words were not very accurate, so he spoke again to Qingyuan and the others to add to the statement.
"It's alright, having this kind of information is already very good. At least we don't have to worry about being completely clueless when we encounter an opponent!"
Upon hearing this, Qingyuan glanced at the contestant information in his hand, waved to Xiaogang, and indicated that Xiaogang didn't need to worry about it.
Even if Xiaogang didn't say anything, he would definitely know about this little thing.
After all, he's not a data stream trainer, so how could he possibly treat data as everything?
"Wait, why am I not among the potential winners?"
"Am I really that bad in your eyes, Xiaogang?"
Upon seeing the list of players circled in red on the data provided by Xiaogang, he immediately broke down and shouted in despair.
Even after he finished speaking, he stared intently at Xiaogang.
Seeing this, Xiao Gang could only turn his head away and remain silent.
Actually, Ash's ability to reach the top 16 was already beyond his expectations.
After all, nearly five or six of Ash's eight badges were gifts from Gym Leaders.
Without undergoing the trials set by the eight Gym Leaders, Ash's strength was simply not up to par for the occasion.
Who knew that Ash would be like a cheat code when he arrived at the Indigo League, first defeating three opponents in a row to win the first round of the preliminary rounds.
They went on to win the second and third rounds of the preliminary rounds with unstoppable momentum, and even won the top 32 round today.
Despite this, Xiao Gang still doesn't believe Xiao Zhi has the ability to win the championship unless he can pull off another cheat and encounter a weak opponent in the round of 16.
And so he kept having good luck, making it all the way to the finals, where his opponent withdrew from the competition.
Otherwise, Xiaogang really couldn't think of any other way for Xiaozhi to win the Indigo League championship.
"Answer me, Xiao Gang!"
"Look in my eyes!"
"Tell me!"
Seeing that Xiao Gang was ignoring him, Xiao Zhi slowly moved his face closer to Xiao Gang and shouted loudly.
"Ahem, this strength to win the championship is based on a comprehensive consideration of various factors, not just..."
Upon hearing Ash's words, Brock immediately began to stammer and explain to Ash.
"Then why are Qingyuan and Xiaqiu inside?"
Upon hearing Xiao Gang's words, Xiao Zhi immediately shouted loudly.
He was really heartbroken that his partner, with whom he spent every day, thought he wasn't good enough to win the Quartz Conference.
He seemed to understand what betrayal meant.
Upon hearing this, Qingyuan looked surprised: "Huh! I'm actually in there?"
That shouldn't be the case, since he never showed his true strength to Xiao Gang.
If Xiaogang believes he has the ability to make it into the top eight, that's understandable.
But why does Xiaogang think he can win the Quartz Conference?
It can't be some legendary male sixth sense, can it?
"Actually, it's because of your match against Zhemutian, Qingyuan. Both Scorpion King and Quan Quan Xiong are very strong!"
"Based on my observation, their Pokémon are far superior to those of most of the contestants in the Indigo League, which is why I believe Qingyuan can win the championship!"
"If Tsugita hadn't been eliminated, he would be here too!"
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Xiaogang felt as if he had seen a savior and quickly explained to Qingyuan.
"Hmph, my cursed doll is no worse than theirs!"
Upon hearing this, Xia Qiu seemed to have a sensitive switch flipped, and snorted coldly.
"So Xia Qiu, you're on this list of winners too!"
Upon hearing this, Xiao Gang broke out in a cold sweat and said to Xia Qiu.
"So, Xiao Gang, is your list of potential champions based solely on one of a trainer's powerful Pokémon?"
Hearing this, Qingyuan looked at the contestants circled in red on the list and asked Xiaogang.
"That's about right, but I didn't just make that simple a deduction!"
"The main reason I included them on this list is because I felt their powerful Pokémon had the ability to sweep the entire team!"
"And apart from that one powerful Pokémon, the other Pokémon of these trainers are not weak either!"
Hearing Qingyuan's words, Xiaogang thought for a moment and then spoke.
"Is that so? I never imagined that heroes from all over the world are as numerous as carp crossing a river!"
"How could such a small Quartz Conference produce so many formidable opponents!"
"It seems the matches after the round of 16 will be very difficult."
Upon hearing Xiao Gang's words, Qing Yuan looked at the list in his hand, which included eight contestants including himself, and said with a solemn expression.
He originally thought that apart from Xia Qiu, there were no other players worth paying attention to in this Quartz Tournament.
Unexpectedly, Xiao Gang's list directly produced six people for him.
He thought he could easily win the Indigo League championship just by relying on Scorpion King.
"Not necessarily, after all, these are the top 32 contestants, and there are still some contestants who haven't finished competing yet!"
"There's a chance that one of them is like you, Zhe Muda!"
"By the time it comes to the round of 16, there might be one or two fewer people among the top contenders!"
Upon hearing Qingyuan's words, Xiaogang explained to Qingyuan with a serious expression.
Poor Zhemutian not only lost the match, but also had to endure Xiaogang's humiliation afterward.
"I know this Asenchi. He was the third place winner in the last Rainbow Tournament, and his Blaziken is very strong!"
Just then, Xia Qiu suddenly pointed to a name on the list and said...
Although he only achieved a top 16 finish in the last Rainbow Tournament, he still remembers the champion, runner-up, and third-place winners very clearly.
This guy's Blaziken caused quite a stir at the Rainbow Meet back then.
"Third place in the Rainbow Ghost Tournament? That's certainly something to be taken seriously!"
"After all, even a strong player like you only made it to the top 16 in the Rainbow Tournament. It seems that this Asenqi is quite capable!"
Upon hearing Xia Qiu's words, Qing Yuan looked at Asenqi's name on the list and nodded earnestly.
"Yes, this Asenchi is indeed very strong, but he has only used one Blaziken to defeat three opponents since his debut!"
"Therefore, I have very little information about him!"
Hearing Qingyuan and Xiaqiu's words, Xiaogang nodded seriously and said with a solemn expression.
