Hogwarts: Where are the Pokémon?

Chapter 138 The competition begins!
After Xia Lin had a plan, he sent Harry away.

The Hogwarts Cup is expected to start on the third day. In fact, in addition to these four schools, Xia Lin also invited many people to visit.Including senior officials like Fudge and Scrimgeour, of course, departments like the Department of Magical Sports and Sports are among his invitations.

Its director, Ludo Bachman, was very enthusiastic about Charlene Gold, and began to inquire about him as soon as he arrived at the school.

Although he hasn't figured out what kind of sport Pokémon battle is, it doesn't prevent him from wanting to show his face in front of the minister's current celebrity.

But he couldn't find Xia Lin.

"The professor went out just now, he said he will be back tomorrow." Neville stood in front of Xia Lin's office, sweating profusely, tremblingly said.

It's no wonder he was so nervous, no one told him that the people standing in front of him were all big shots.

Minister of Magic, Director of the Auror Office, Director of the Department of International Magic Exchange and Cooperation...

When was he little Neville, had he ever seen such a scene.

"Tomorrow? Well, tomorrow!" Fudge took off his hat, sweating profusely in the hot weather, "Tomorrow the game will start!"

He came here to inform Xia Lin that the Aurors from the United States had sneaked in. Since they came here as Neon, he didn't notice it at first.

He couldn't understand why Xia Lin didn't seem to care about the fact that he had never been to the Magic Congress. If the International Federation of Wizards was involved, even the most powerful wizards would be difficult to fight against.

Grindelwald had so many followers who failed back then, as for the mysterious man——

He never left England at all.

Did he really intend to fight against the International Federation of Wizards?

Such a crazy idea flashed through Fudge's mind, but was quickly dismissed.

You know, Dumbledore is not dead yet, even if Charlene Gold wants to be the next Dark Lord, it is impossible to surpass Dumbledore, right?

He sighed, and rubbed his head in distress. He lost a lot of hair these days because of worrying about these things.

Those hair growth medicines on the market don't work at all!

The playground at Hogwarts was already full of wizards.

Although the little wizards in the seventh grade had completed the advanced wizard level exam, none of them left the school.They all joined the event.

On the high platform, Dumbledore and several principals sat upright, waiting for the start of the game.

Compared with the Quidditch game, the playground has changed a lot.

At this time, the original dirt field was missing a lot, revealing a dark rectangular pit.

There are two platforms on both sides of the pothole.

"Dumbledore, why did you make the arena like this?" Maxim asked puzzled.

"This is because in a Pokémon battle, the trainer and the Pokémon will actually face several different types of environments," Dumbledore explained.

This attracted the attention of other school principals.

"Using the difference in the environment to fight? I have indeed seen this kind of operation in Pokémon comics." The leader from the magic institute said with a smile in his broken English.

He has also heard about the Pokémon comics published in Neon.

In fact, among the Muggle wizards of the Institute, those cartoons were very popular.It's just that no one thought at the beginning that Pokémon is actually a real thing.

"That's right, but unlike what is shown in the comics, in real battles, wizards themselves have to participate." Dumbledore explained, "You can interpret it as another type of wizard. Duel competition. Of course, for safety reasons, it is not allowed to directly attack the trainer in the competition."

Dueling matches used to be a very popular sport, but they have been held less frequently in recent years due to their dangers.

After Dumbledore explained how to ensure safety, the interest of the rest became stronger.Maxim, who was not that interested at first, watched intently.

And Voldemort, who was hiding on Karkaroff's body, hated the Pokémon whose tail cut off his head with a scar.Of course, because of this, he also began to pay attention to Pokémon.

Since the playing field is on the ground, it is actually a bit far from the stands, so Xia Lin specially added several huge screens when modifying the playing field.

These screens are not electronic products, but alchemy products similar to crystal balls.

At the same time, he also added the Untraceable Stretching Curse in the arena. After all, it is a match where the wizard is going to end in person, and the arena is not big enough!

"Are you ready?"

In the corner, Xia Lin said to Lee Jordan who was riding on the back of a toucan and was about to take off.

"Don't worry, professor, I'm a professional commentator!" Li said proudly, shaking his dreadlocks.

"What I want to remind you is, don't bring the rhythm of Slytherin and Gryffindor during the commentary, otherwise I will change the commentator in the next game."

"Uh--Okay, but I think Professor you can have a little confidence in my professionalism."

"If I hadn't heard your explanation, maybe I would have believed it." Xia Lin patted the toucan's tail, and the toucan immediately spread its wings and flew towards the sky.

"The voice is loud." Xia Lin cast a spell on Li so that his voice could be heard throughout the arena.

"Cough-cough-"

The huge sound echoed in the arena and immediately attracted the attention of all the audience.Then, they saw a black guy flying in mid-air riding a huge bird Pokémon.

"Look, that's Lee!" screamed a Gryffindor girl. "Is he the commentator?"

Lee Jordan was instantly elated.

"It's too thin, I didn't expect to sit on such an ugly toucan!"

"If it's me, why don't you ask the professor to take out the Bi Diao!"

Fred and George talked to each other in the contestant's seat, and what they said was full of disgust for their good friends.

"Gentlemen and ladies! Welcome to watch the first Pokémon Contest Hogwarts Cup!" Li shouted passionately in mid-air.

Foreigners may not know the charm of Pokémon, but Hogwarts students like it very much.Following Li's words, their enthusiasm was also aroused, and waves of voices continued to shout!

Soon, those who came to watch were also infected by this enthusiasm.

"Maybe this can really develop into a second Quidditch match." Ludo sighed, and then looked more seriously.

If that day really comes, then the more he knows about Pokémon, the more benefits he can get.

"Everyone, the Pokémon Contest, the Hogwarts Cup, starts now!"

"The contestants who will appear in the first round are—"
