I was resurrected and became a Ghost-type Pokémon Master.

Chapter 252 Grouping and Drawing Lots

A gentle breeze brushed across Gui Hai's face, ruffling his wispy hair.

His dark, deep eyes opened, gazing at the horizon.

At the horizon where the sea meets the sky, a giant fireball leaps from beneath the sea surface, scattering countless rays of light that illuminate the entire world.

Its daybreak.

Unpacking his sleeping bag, Guihai stood up, walked to the edge of the cliff, and stretched out his arms to ease his body.

The temperature at the top of the Sky Pillar was very low. Even though hot and cold didn't matter to him, he felt a bit stiff and uncoordinated in his limbs.

We need to get some activities done.

Fortunately, today is his last half-day here.

On this day, he was about to do something that would once again shake the world.

“Kou Jie”.

Gengar also woke up, walked to Ghost Sea's side, and stretched out its round body with its arms outstretched, showing an expression very similar to Ghost Sea's.

Winged Beast, Mimikyu, Rotom, and Aegislash all appeared one by one.

Standing side by side with Guihai on the cliff edge, we watched the sun gradually leap out of the sea and rise into the sky.

"How was everyone's rest?"

Gengar patted its chest: "Kouja."

Other Pokémon also provided corresponding answers.

"very good!

"Zoroark and the others are supposed to play in the knockout stage today. Hopefully, we all do well."

The chubby boy looked down in the direction of the city where Zoroark was, grinned, and laughed loudly: "Hehehe."

"That's right. I wish them success, and I wish us success too."

......

The moment Guihai woke up.

The rest area for the players of the Mountain and Sea Alliance.

In Oni-kai's room, Zoroark also opened his eyes.

He turned and glanced at the Sky Pillar, then tapped the Poké Ball to awaken all his companions.

"It's dawn, everyone get ready."

Azure Blade Demon was the first to emerge from the Poké Ball.

Following closely behind were Doronchi and Zoroa, who had transformed into Doronmesia.

Then there's Totodile, Rowlet, Cyndaquil...

Zoroark transformed into the form of Oni-kai, donned the familiar trench coat, and draped a ghostly face mask with a mysterious design over his shoulder.

The sword sheath and straps were tied around his waist, and his body faintly emanated ghost-like energy.

Even those who are very familiar with it would think it is the real Guihai.

Unless you get within two meters of it, it's hard for anyone to tell that it's actually a fake.

All the Pokémon in the room, watching Zoroark transform into Ghost Sea, had resolute expressions, as if a fire was burning in their hearts.

"Boom boom boom..."

"Mr. Guihai, the knockout stage group draw is about to begin. Please proceed to the Alliance Center Battleground to participate in the group draw."

A staff member reminded us from the doorway.

Zoroark mimicked Onikai's voice, saying slowly, "I understand, it'll be over soon."

The footsteps at the door faded away in other directions, seemingly indicating that someone had gone to notify others.

Zoroark scanned his comrades and straightened his collar: "Today, the whole world will be watching our battle. Let's show them our strength."

No Pokémon spoke, but these adorable little guys nodded very seriously.

After quickly finishing their breakfast, most of them returned to the Poké Balls that Guihai had prepared.

Only two Azure Blade Demons, along with Draco and Zoroark, remained outside, following Zoroark towards the venue.

"There are still more than 100 contestants left in the Alliance Conference. Adding those Heavenly Kings and Senior Prosecutors who don't have to participate in the preliminary rounds because of their merits, there are about 150 or 160 people."

Almost all trainers below the gym level were eliminated.

Therefore, every battle after this may be very difficult. When you are fighting, you must protect your younger brothers and sisters.

And I will protect you all.

As he walked, Zoroark quickly explained the precautions.

“Azure”.

Both Azure Flame Blade Demons nodded.

Duolongqi murmured something to indicate that he understood.

Several ghosts soon arrived at the battlefield.

By this time, almost all the players had arrived, and Zoroark stood at the back of the crowd.

As soon as he stood in place, the aged yet powerful voice of the champion from the mountain and sea rang out from the host's platform.

Good morning, everyone.

I apologize, but before we begin, you'll need to hear a few words from this soon-to-retire old man.

Because of my actions, the alliance conference was held ahead of schedule, leaving many places unprepared.

This made the preliminary rounds very quick, eliminating more than 200,000 trainers in just three days.

I'm very sorry about that.

The champion paused for a few seconds at this point, and seeing that neither the audience nor the contestants expressed any dissatisfaction, continued:

"However, the purpose of this tournament is very special. We need a brand new and powerful trainer to stand out and become the new champion of the Mountain and Sea."

Lead the entire Mountain and Sea Alliance.

Surviving on a continent overrun by legendary Pokémon, facing sudden disasters is something the champions of the Mountain and Sea must confront.

The remaining 168 trainers are the best in this field.

I hope you all achieve good results.

"Next, we will divide the trainers who have advanced into groups. Trainers in the same group will compete against each other, and the winners of the last two groups will compete for the championship."

The tournament champion will be eligible to battle against the current six Heavenly Kings of the Mountain and Sea Alliance to determine the final alliance champion.

As the champion grandfather finished speaking, six extraordinary superstars stepped out from beside him and stood on the high platform, looking down on the entire audience.

This demonstrates their own strength.

The champion gave everyone some time to process the information, then winked at his assistant.

The assistant gave an OK sign, the champion put the microphone to his mouth, and loudly announced:

"I hereby declare the Mountain and Sea Alliance Tournament knockout stage officially open!"

The sound resonated far and wide through the device.

The atmosphere at the event was instantly ignited, with shouts and cheers from the audience resounding through the sky.

At the same time, Zoroark received a text message with a clue from his Pokédex.

Grouping list announced.

Zoroark was assigned to the first group.

The draw number for this round is "1".

This means that he will be the first to appear today, and will play the first elimination match against another player with the number "1".

"Drip."

A second message arrived, reminding him to head to the battle arena and prepare for the match.

"Let's go, we drew number one, so we'll be playing the first match of the opening ceremony."

"Azure!"

Zoroark's eyes narrowed, and the Azure Flame Blade Demon behind him blazed with dark blue flames, his fighting spirit surging.

......

At the top of the Sky Pillar.

According to Fei Hui's instructions and the records of the Sky People, Gui Hai followed Fei Hui's instructions.

They used the things Fei Hui brought to set up something that looked like an altar.

Get all the Pokémon ready.

Guihai recited a passage in an ancient language to summon Rayquaza.

The way this text was written is very similar to the logic of the chants he sang during the worship ceremony at the Other Shore Tower, and it seems that this method can communicate something.

To achieve the purpose of communication.

The only difference is that one requires chanting, while the other requires recitation.

As the text was read aloud, Guihai and his Pokémon could clearly feel an abnormal flow of air above their heads.

And there was also a faint, extremely faint sound carried on the wind.

The wind grew stronger, and the noise grew louder.

In the end, the storm turned into a roar, and the roar became clear from the storm.

"Roar!"
