256 players will be randomly selected to battle on four different terrains: grass, ice, water, and rock.
The battle rules are 3v3, with the winner advancing and the loser being eliminated. After winning four consecutive matches, the team will move to the main venue to compete, which means advancing to the top 64.
64强与32强对战规则，依旧是3v3，从十六强开始，才会变为6v6全员对战。
The opponents for the matches will be drawn this afternoon, and the official matches will begin tomorrow. As a result, various trainers have filled the Indigo Plateau this afternoon, waiting for the match list to be announced.
At this moment, Crimson and the others were also paying attention to who their opponent was.
"Pi~ka~!"
As Pikachu let out a soft cry, a bright red icon appeared on the big screen, followed by a bright red opponent.
Field number one, the Rock Field.
The opponent is Xiaoming, the Beast Master!
.............................................
235. Quartz Tournament Preliminary Round, VS. Beastmaster Xiaoming! (Please subscribe to the full series!)
The next day, morning.
Quartz Conference contestant area!
As the host's voice rang out, the first match of the preliminary rounds of the Quartz Tournament, the Rock Field, officially began.
"..."
Crimson pressed down the brim of her red and white baseball cap, let Pikachu climb onto her shoulder, and slowly walked towards the contestant's tunnel.
Snapped!
Inside the contestant tunnel, a girl rushed out, and Crimson was walking towards her, so unsurprisingly, the girl bumped into Crimson.
"Ouch~"
However, due to his physical condition, he was fine, but the girl fell to the ground with a thud.
"Yes...I'm sorry..."
This girl has pink hair, tied in a ponytail on one side with a propeller-like headdress, and long red hair on both sides.
Her attire was somewhat similar to a flight suit, with a dark blue and light blue long-sleeved shirt on the upper body that revealed her navel, light blue hot pants on the lower body, tall boots on her feet, and tall gloves on her hands.
The outfit looked vaguely familiar to Crimson, but she didn't immediately recognize it, and besides, she didn't have time to think about it now.
"I'm so sorry, I'll apologize to you again if something happens later!"
"I have something urgent to attend to right now, sorry!"
The girl rubbed her sore bottom, then stood up abruptly, hurriedly said something to Chi Hong, and ran away quickly.
"Has this guy come to the wrong place?"
Seeing the other party's hurried appearance, Crimson couldn't help but think of this possibility, since those who could appear here were basically all contestants.
However, now is not the time to think about this, because his competition has already started, and if he doesn't go now, it will be too late.
It would be a huge joke if we lost the game for this reason.
So Crimson immediately quickened his pace.
Passing through the athletes' tunnel, crossing the metal corridor, facing the sunlight, and listening to the endless cheers, Crimson arrived at the competition venue.
What came into view was a grand scene, with tens of thousands of spectators surrounding them, endless cheers, and the spotlights shining on them.
"This feeling is really nice..."
Chi Hong slightly lowered the brim of his baseball cap, listened to the endless cheers, and smiled slightly, murmuring something.
Step by step, they slowly walked towards their seats.
"Aka, do your best!!!"
"Vine~Vine!"
In the audience, Mei was sitting in the crowd. After Akane appeared, she stood up happily with Snivy and shouted loudly.
However, her pretty face flushed slightly because of the gazes around her, and she sat back down with a hint of shyness, hugging the vine snake.
"Vine~Vine!!!"
However, Snivy still cheered on Crimson, who had a great fondness for it and gave it delicious food, in order to help it.
Mei hasn't officially become a rookie trainer yet; to be precise, she hasn't graduated from the academy.
She came to the Kanto region during a holiday to see Touko, who was traveling in the region. She didn't attend the Quartz Conference; she was just a spectator.
As for why she came here to watch the Crimson Crimson match instead of Touko's match...
Ahem, Mei says that Touko's match still has some time to go, so let's see how Akane's match is going first?
...
...
"It's finally here! The first match on Rock Terrace is about to begin, and both trainers are now ready!"
"The green team's trainer is Xiaoming, known as the Beast Master. It is said that he once achieved a 99-win streak, making him a formidable trainer!"
"His opponent, on the red side, is a Crimson player from Pallet Town. Players from Pallet Town seem to be quite strong!"
Accompanied by the host's passionate words, the two players commentating on the match, Chi Hong and Xiao Ming, stood on opposite sides of the player area.
"Hey, Crimson, I didn't expect to run into you so soon!"
Looking at the calm and composed Chi Hong across from him, Xiao Ming clenched his fists with some excitement and spoke to Chi Hong.
"..."
·· ···Requesting flowers· ······
“Red, I know you are a very powerful trainer, but after you defeated me and broke my winning streak.”
"So I embarked on my journey, and I must say that traveling is truly amazing. It allowed me to experience so much and made me incredibly strong!"
"I think even you, Crimson, whom I've been eagerly anticipating, wouldn't be a match for me. Although it's a pity we met early and didn't meet in the finals, but..."
"It's the same now, only the time has been brought forward. Crimson, I will utterly crush you here!"
Xiao Ming was very excited, and his body was full of confidence, even an air of arrogance. He looked at the crimson figure with great swagger.
...... .... ....
Crimson's response was: "...."
"Damn it, that expression again! They really don't respect me!"
Seeing this, Xiaoming naturally gritted his teeth in anger.
Meanwhile, the rotating pointer in the large screen mode stopped on the bright red avatar, which means...
"Red from Pallet Town has the first move. Please send out your Pokémon first. Xiaoming will send out his Pokémon later."
"The battle arena is Rock Terrain, and the battle rules are 3v3. When all of one side's Pokémon are unable to battle, the other side wins. The battle begins now!"
After the referee waved his flag, explained the rules of the match, and then stepped back to the edge of the field, he announced the start of the game.
"...King Nidoran, prepare for battle!"
Crimson's movements were incredibly smooth. She took a Poké Ball from her belt, tapped the center button, and tossed it into the Rock Field.
"Roar~!!!"
As the white light fell, a huge purple monster appeared, and a roar resounded throughout the entire arena.
Nidoking, come on!
................................................enter.
236. Quartz Conference Preliminary Round, VS Xiaoming, Forced Nidoking! (Please Subscribe!)
"Roar~!!!"
"It's started! Red has sent out his Pokémon first, and it's a very fierce Nidoking!"
"Ohhhhhh!"
As the host's enthusiastic voice rang out, Nidoking's roar sparked heated discussions and excitement among the spectators.
"..."
As Crimson gazed at Nidoking, who seemed unusually excited due to the spotlight, a slight smile appeared on his lips.
At the same time, a glint of despair flashed in his eyes, a look of hopelessness that no one could save him.

This Nidoking was caught by Red along with Poliwag during his previous Pokémon training, and it has pretty good potential.
The ability "Forceful" is excellent; it removes the additional effects of moves, thereby increasing their power by 30%. Combined with Nidoking's extensive move pool, it makes it a very good move.
It is very qualified as a fighter. At the same time, because of Nidoking's rich move pool, Red equipped it with a Master Belt, which has an excellent effect of increasing the power of moves by 20%.
This will allow Nidoking's damage output to reach an even higher level.
