Elf, who made him the gym leader?..

Chapter 444 You Chapter Daigo vs. Takeran! Both of them are very talented
Capturing Groudon is easier than you think.

Gu Xin looked at Groudon who was holding the Earth Slab and smiling foolishly, and couldn't help laughing.

Groudon agreed as long as he was given the Earth Slab and agreed to take it to beat up Kyogre.

To be honest, it was easier than Gu Xin had imagined, which also indirectly illustrates the feud between the flightless fish and the bighead carp.

That's right, after all, they have been fighting each other for thousands of years, even if they started out just fighting for natural energy.

But to this day, even without natural energy as a factor, they absolutely dislike each other.

"By the way, Groudon."

Guxin seemed to have thought of something, and spoke to Groudon with a slight smile on his face.

"What's wrong Gusin?"

Groudon was in a very happy mood at the moment. The earth energy in the earth slab was so rich that it was very good for it.

Groudon was even very confident that if he was allowed to absorb for a longer period of time, he would definitely be able to surpass Kyogre, the bighead carp!
When thinking about the scene of himself stepping on Kyogre in the future, Groudon felt that this would definitely be the peak of his life!

"Can you fly?" Gu Xin asked curiously.

"..."

The air froze instantly, and even the movements of those who couldn't fly became stiff.

……

Hoenn Caiyou Arena.

This is the largest arena in the Hoenn region and is also where the Saiyou Tournament is held.

But today, the Caiyou Arena is packed with people.

There were people from Hoenn as well as many from other regions, and at this moment everyone had an expectant look on their faces.

“I feel like the atmosphere on the scene is a little different.”

On the other side, Gu Xin and others were in a room at the moment, and the floor-to-ceiling windows in front could clearly see the situation inside.

This is a room specially prepared for 'VIP' audiences like them.

Of course, Gusin actually prefers to watch the game live, so that he can feel the atmosphere more clearly.

"Of course it is. After all, it's a battle between Champion Takeran and Champion Daigo." Kalno put one arm in front of her body and stroked her cheek with the other hand, speaking with a smile.

"This kind of battle is indeed not to be missed. If there were no limit on the number of people in Caiyou Arena, there would definitely be more people watching."

Dan Di crossed his arms and laughed, saying, yes, he was also here to watch the fight between Daigo and Takeran.

Now he is No. 4 in the master class, and the only ones ranked above him are Takeran, Daigo and Guxin.

Whether it is Daigo or Takeran, they are both people that Dan Di wants to challenge. Now that he can see their fight, of course he wants to come and watch it in person.

Not only Kalno and Dantei, but also Alice, Serena, the current Alola champion Karin, Yaci and others will gather together.

It was precisely because these champions were all here that Gu Xin came to this viewing room on purpose.

“I just don’t know who will win.”

Adek's smile was deep, and it also contained deep curiosity about Zhulan and Daigo.

"Gu Xin, who do you think will win?" Ye Ci thought for a while and asked Gu Xin.

"Who knows."

Gu Xin shook his head. It was hard to say who was stronger between Zhulan and Daigo.

Even in the anime's world championship, Takeran and Daigo never really fought to determine the winner.

After all, in the Masters Tournament, Xiaozhi first defeated Daigo, then defeated Takeran, and finally won the game with Dandi.

If we only consider the schedule, Zhulan is definitely higher, but that is meaningless.

If the initial schedule of Takeran and Daigo was swapped, with Takeran versus Satoshi and Daigo versus Alice, Satoshi would still advance, and Daigo would still advance after defeating Alice.

Therefore, this schedule cannot be used to illustrate the strength of Daigo and Takeran, not to mention that these are not just Daigo and Takeran in the anime.

It is hard to say who is stronger and who is weaker between the two.

But it must be said that Daigo now has two Metagrosses, and Gu Xin feels that Daigo does have some advantages.

He has fought against Daigo before, and that shiny Mega Metagross was indeed very strong, but he doesn't know how strong Pickle Ran's ace Mega Garchomp is.

And who knows if Zhulan has any hidden main force? After all, Gu Xin's existence has brought many plot changes.

Takeran went to Hoenn last year to participate in the battle between land and sea, or perhaps these experiences brought her a sense of crisis, allowing her to cultivate other main forces.

On the field.

Following the host's announcement, two figures slowly walked out from the contestant passages on both sides of the battle field.

As the two of them appeared on stage, the entire venue was suddenly filled with enthusiastic cheers.

"Daigo is the champion! He will win!!"

"Ms. Zhulan, you will definitely win! We will always support you!"

"Dawu dawu dawu!!!"

"Ms. Zhulan is still so beautiful today!"

"Excuse me, but Daigo is the one who was recognized by Guxin Champion and given the badge. How can he lose?"

There is no doubt that both Daigo and Takeran are extremely popular, but this is the Hoenn region after all, which is Daigo's home turf.

Daigo's supporters soon gained the upper hand in the cheering, with some fans even beating drums and gongs, and Takeran's supporters were completely routed.

Of course, Daigo and Takeran wouldn't take such things to heart.

Daigo and Takeran, still wearing their "classic skins", walked to their respective combat positions.

"The ranking challenge for the World Championship will now begin. The challenger is Takeran from the Sinnoh region, and the defender is Daigo from the Hoenn region!"

The referee entered the field, blew the whistle and began to announce the rules of the game.

"The battle rules are 6 vs 6. Two types of enhancements can be used. When all six Pokémon of the defending side lose their combat ability, the defense fails and the challenger wins."

"The battle... begins!"

The referee waved his arm and slowly left the arena. The big screen lit up, and the busts of Takeran and Daigo appeared on the screen twice, and the pointer began to move rapidly.

"I knew this day would come."

Daigo glanced at the big screen and saw that the pointer had stopped on his side, which meant that he would attack first.

Daigo took out a Poké Ball, but did not rush to release the Pokémon. Instead, he looked at Zhulan and smiled.

"I thought you would challenge me, Zhulan, but I didn't expect it to come so soon."

Although Zhulan looks like an intellectual, elegant and graceful woman, how could she, who can actually become a regional champion, really have no desire to fight?
Just like Karuno, Karuno loves performing and is elegant and graceful in her daily life, but in fact she really likes fighting against strong people.

The same goes for Zhulan. Although they are women, their desire to fight is no less than that of competitive men.

After all, they are all champions who have defeated all the trainers in their regions to reach the top!
"Well, I want to challenge Gu Xin and feel the pressure of facing him firsthand."

Zhulan had an elegant smile on her face, her bangs blown by the gentle breeze.

"Why don't you go to the gym and challenge him?" Daigo asked puzzled.

"I want to challenge him in the arena."

"Zhulan, this is not a rational decision."

"Maybe, but that's why it's worth a try."

"I see."

Daigo paused for a moment, then couldn't help but lower his head and laugh.

"But Zhulan, you have to defeat me first."

Daigo's eyes gradually calmed down. He did agree with Takeran's will, but he was only the second master. He was Shibuki Daigo!
"My name is Shibuki Daigo, the Four Heavenly Kings Champion of the Hoenn region!"

"Zhulan, even if we are friends, I will not give up this position and honor to you. You should understand, right?"

Daigo leaned slightly sideways and raised his right hand, which was his signature move.

He is not only a trainer, he also represents the entire Hoenn region. This is a battle between regional champions!

"Ah~ I understand."

Zhulan's beautiful eyes also calmed down, and her whole temperament changed abruptly.

"I will defeat you and climb higher! As the champion of the Spirit League, come on, Daigo, let me see your strength!"

Domineering!

There is no need for fancy words. For Bamboo Ran, defeating the opponent in battle is what a trainer should do.

Even if the opponent is also the champion of the Pokémon League!

"Armor Bird!"

Daigo's handsome face showed a fighting spirit, and he threw his starting Pokémon, Armorbird, high into the air.

He had been looking forward to this battle for too long, because Zhulan was definitely a champion worthy of his full efforts.

He once traveled all over Hoenn and completed his journey.

'In the end, I am the strongest and most powerful person.'

This is Daigo’s self-introduction in the game. It is not a joke, but an exact fact.

It was for this reason that Daigo, who had become the strongest, gave up the championship title, gave way to Mikoli, and concentrated on digging stones.

He has always been longing for a strong opponent!

"Armor bird?"

Zhulan looked at the armored bird with sharp eyes. She was also present when Daigo challenged the Rota Gym.

So she knew a lot about this armored bird.

"Flower Rock Monster!"

Zhulan threw out her own royal first starter.

The Poké Ball opened in the air, white light fell to the ground, a wedge stone appeared on the ground, and a lavender gas emerged, gradually turning into a shape like a ghost face, which looked quite terrifying.

This is exactly the Flower Rock Monster (Ghost Bonsai), which is also the starter that Zhulan likes to use the most.

'Damn~ Flower Rock Monster, ghost, evil attribute, seal Pokémon

Characteristics: Feeling of oppression

Special moves: Dream eating, hypnosis, evil wave, surprise attack, sharing pain...

Introduction: An evil creature brought about by evil thoughts. According to literature, this Pokémon is the product of the gathering of 108 evil souls.

"This illustration is a bit weird."

Liliae tilted her head as she listened to the introduction of the illustrated book.

"Glengar is a very rare Pokémon. After all, it is a ghost type. And according to records, Glengar has indeed done a lot of evil."

Gusin smiled and explained that although most Pokémon are relatively innocent, there are a few that are rather strange and evil.

"Daigo's Armorbird is quite skilled and good at scattering spikes, but Takeran's Flower Rock Monster is not easy to deal with either."

Gu Xin looked at the Armored Bird and the Flower Rock Monster confronting each other in the field.

These two Pokémon are both of very high quality. Armorbird is a professional spike spreader, but Grindelwald is definitely not inferior in terms of quality.

Hypnosis, phosphorous fire, poison, strange light, curse, etc., all kinds of negative states can be easily encountered.

Moreover, the attributes of the Flower Rock Monster are Ghost + Evil. This attribute combination not only makes it immune to three attributes, but the only thing that can restrain the Flower Rock Monster is the Fairy.

In addition, despite its low stamina and slow speed, Rock Monster's defense is actually quite outstanding, and both its defenses are excellent.

In fact, the slow speed is not a particular disadvantage to the Flower Rock Monster, because it has the priority skill of surprise attack, and it can also open the Trick Space by itself.

Ultimately, Armorbird can only scatter nails, but there are so many ways to play with Rockflower. It all depends on how Zhulan uses it.

But Gusin can already imagine that these two matchups should be very interesting.
