After resting for two days in the town outside the Celebi Forest, Gary, Ash, and others left.
There was still some time before the Silver Conference began. Gary knew that Ash would have to go through the Young Kira incident before arriving at Silver Town, so Gary did not get involved.
After resting, Gary rode Charizard back to Silver Town and began to practice near Mt. Silver.
This practice was mainly about battling because some Pokémon could not participate in the Silver Conference, so they naturally served as sparring partners for other Pokémon.
Blastoise, Zapdos, and Tyranitar are all champion-level Pokémon. They are well-equipped with land, sea, and air capabilities.
They are very suitable for sparring and can train the "lower-level Pokémon" in the team in all aspects.
Time flies, and soon, two months have passed in the blink of an eye.
Gary interrupted his training a week ago and came to Silver Town to have a good rest. Pokémon still need time to recover and prepare for the Silver Conference.
Like the Indigo Plateau Conference, before the start of the Alliance Conference, a sacred fire relay ceremony will be held. This time, the sacred fire relayed is not Moltres's flame, but Ho-Oh's flame.
Unfortunately, this Ho-Oh flame is just a kind of fire preserved from ancient times.
Although it is Ho-Oh's exclusive flame and has some healing functions, it cannot summon the Ho-Oh.
Although it is a little unlikely to capture Ho-Oh, Gary still wants to try it. After all, Lugia has been captured. As long as Ho-Oh is put into the Poké Ball, it will be considered captured.
If you really want to capture Ho-Oh, it is actually not difficult the power of technology can do it.
After all, even Rayquaza has been captured by villain organizations.
If Gary can develop a technological weapon to deal with Ho-Oh, he can complete the task by knocking it out and then subduing it.
However, this method is a long way to go. Gary will not do it unless it is absolutely necessary. It is not a good thing to offend Ho-Oh. After all, the Ho-Oh has the ability to resurrect the dead.
Unlike the Indigo Plateau Conference, the Silver Conference will first hold a selection meeting.
The selection meeting will eliminate more than 200 players to 48. Each player has 3 opportunities to fight in a 1-on-1 format.
After that, the players will be promoted based on their game results and gym performance.
The selection meeting will start tomorrow. Three games will be played in one day.
The venue is a temporary venue built in the player village. The venue is like a public venue and is relatively simple.
"It's noon, let's eat."
Gary looked at the time and saw that it was already noon, so he went out to the restaurant for lunch.
Like the Indigo Plateau Conference, during the Silver Conference, all food and drinks in the contestants' village are free.
So, Gary went out and went to the snack area in the contestants' village. When he passed the registration office of the Silver Conference, he happened to see Ash and his group coming out.
"Gary!"
Ash immediately called Gary.
Looking at the dusty Ash, Gary knew that they must have just arrived in Silver Town today.
"You are really in a hurry. The selection meeting is tomorrow, and you just arrived today," Gary complained.
"No way, I planned to come early, but I encountered something on the way and was delayed," Ash retorted. "Also, I will definitely beat you in this Silver Conference."
"Really? I hope you can do it. Bye!" Gary didn't care about Ash's bold words at all.
After all, with Ash's current strength, even if Gary didn't participate in the Silver Conference, Ash couldn't win the championship.
However, because of Gary's appearance, Ash's current strength is definitely stronger than the original plot.
If Gary really doesn't participate in the Silver Conference, Ash still has a chance to win the championship.
Before the Alola League Conference, the Alliance Conference where Ash had the best chance of winning the championship was actually the Hoenn Region's Ever Grande Conference, although he also stopped in the quarterfinals [Extended Ash was defeated by the champion Tyson].
The main reason was that Ash only used the Pokémon captured in the Hoenn Region to participate in the competition at that time, otherwise Ash would definitely win the Ever Grande Conference Champion.
After a full meal and a good drink, the selection meeting officially began the next day.
The three games of the selection meeting will be completed within one day today.
Gary came to the competition venue of the selection meeting, and there were people everywhere. All the contestants of the Silver Conference competed here.
"The level of the gym in the Johto Region is so high, and there are so many people participating. It shouldn't be..." Gary walked through the temporary venues, and the contestants who were competing inside, and the Pokémon they sent out were really a group of cute little ones.
There are even Pokémon like Furret.
It's not that Furret is not powerful, but it's really not powerful.
Not only is the Species Strength low, the Ability is not powerful, and the skill pool is also ordinary.
The three games of the selection meeting are still very important.
After all, each game is 1 vs. 1.
Once you lose, there is no chance of a comeback, so the Pokémon used are basically the main Pokémon of the players. "There should be many players who get the opportunity to participate in the competition through the appraisal test."
Gary inferred.
After all, the difficulty of the Johto Region gym is still very high, much stronger than the gym in the Kanto Region.
It is estimated that not many people participate in the Silver Conference by collecting badges.
Gary came to the D venue, which is the venue of Gary's selection meeting.
The three games will be played in one day, so there are not many venues, so you can only take your time.
After playing a game, you can rest for three games before it's your turn.
You can play three games in one morning.
The time is 9 o'clock, and the game officially begins.
[LV42 Machoke/Gym]
[LV40 Noctowl/Quasi-Elite]
Gary looked at the Pokémon sent by the first two players. Their strengths were all at the gym level.
Machoke was slightly higher by 2 levels, but was restrained by Noctowl.
The outcome was naturally clear. Noctowl, who had the advantage in the air, easily defeated Machoke.
The game was in full swing. In the third game, it was finally Gary's turn.
The staff inside the venue called out to the outside of the fence: "Please enter the game, Yuji and Gary."
After the words fell, Yuji and Gary, whose names were called by the staff, walked into the venue.
The staff looked at the two people and confirmed that they looked the same as the photos on the public screen, so they allowed the two to enter the command area.
"Are you ready, both of you?" the referee asked immediately. There were a total of 600 games to be hosted today, and the referee didn't want to waste time on work.
"No problem."
"You can start anytime."
Gary and Yuji responded.
"The rules of the game are 1 vs 1. Please send out your Pokémon," the referee said.
After he finished speaking, the two threw out their Poké Balls.
