Elf, who made him the gym leader?..

Chapter 507 Xiaozhi, why don't you participate in the World Championships
From now on, you are the challenger?
Hearing these words left by Sakaki, Yulongdu's face twitched slightly, but he quickly calmed down, but his fists were clenched tightly unconsciously.

Very unwilling! Very unhappy!

But Yu Longdu understood that no matter how he refuted now, it would be meaningless because he had lost.

Sakaki!

Yulongdu looked at the middle-aged man's back with eyes as sharp as a sword. It's okay, there is still a chance!
As one of the top eight in the ranking stage, he has one chance to avoid elimination. Although he needs to win the revival match, he has a chance!

Sakaki! Wait! I will be back!

The battle between Sakaki and Yu Ryudo ended, and the ending was unexpectedly Sakaki's "revenge" on Yu Ryudo.

This is undoubtedly a joyous event for Sakaki's supporters.

But for the fans of Yulongdu, it was not so good, and there was a lot of crying.

They never expected that Sakaki, who was defeated by Yulongdu half a year ago, would actually "turn against Tiangang" today.

"That land cloud... is a bit strong."

After watching the whole process, Xiaoyou couldn't help but frowned slightly.

"Indeed, that was the Dragonite, the champion of the Royal Dragon Crossing. It was actually suppressed by that Land Cloud. Awesome~!"

Dan Di was also very surprised. The strength of Yulongdu's trump card Dragonite was very strong, but in close combat, Tudiyun, the spirit beast that Sakaki had subdued only half a year, was actually on par with Taijinglong's Dragonite, and even slightly suppressed it.

"It is said that the land cloud will appear and calm the struggle between the incarnations of whirlwind and lightning, which may also indicate that the land cloud is stronger than the thunder cloud and tornado cloud."

Xiaoyou seemed to be thinking about something.

According to legend, tornadoes and thunderclouds are both of relatively bad character. Wherever they go, they will cause rainstorms and destroy crops. Whenever tornadoes and thunderclouds cause a big fight, land clouds will appear to stop them.

Is it a familiar feeling of déjà vu?

That's right, it's just like a replica of the Hoenn ancient legend, but the 'incarnation' certainly can't be compared with the 'ancient legend', there's a huge gap in power between the two sides.

It is also obvious that Land Cloud is stronger than Tornado Cloud and Lightning Cloud. In this case, he will be very strong when he is captured. In addition, after careful cultivation for half a year, it is no surprise that Land Cloud has become Sakaki's new trump card.

"Well, it's worth looking forward to. There will definitely be more exciting battles against Sakaki Tenno." Dan Di was very excited.

"Du Guanjun has entered the loser bracket. I don't know if he will be able to come back by then."

"Maybe, but we still have to wait until the top eight list is released."

Emperor Dan shook his head. Who knows?

After all, there are only two places in the quarterfinals now.

Guxin this side.

"Congratulations, Uncle Sakaki, you defeated your opponent in a very cool way."

Mitsuki smiled and congratulated Sakaki.

"Nothing strange, I have done a lot of preparation for this day."

Sakaki chuckled, and it can be seen that Sakaki was in a good mood.

Of course, I feel really good to have successfully defeated Yulongdu on the world stage of the World Championship! It's really great.

In order to defeat Ryuujira, Sakaki, who had Beedrill 'banned', did put in a lot of effort.

"In this way, one of our players was eliminated and two advanced."

Xiao Lan looked at Sakaki's portrait on the big screen and sighed, "Who would dare to believe this?"

This guy was the hated final boss of Team Rocket last year, the source of darkness in the Kanto region!

And now, he has transformed himself into one of the most famous and strongest trainers in Kanto.

Hearing this, Qinglu curled his lips and glared at Chihong with some dissatisfaction. If he had not been matched with Chi, he would definitely have been able to advance.

"The first two groups are actually from our Kanto. I don't know if this matching system is intentional." Xiao Lan complained again.

Logically speaking, we are now in the Quartz Plateau, and this matching system is also 'produced' by Guandu, so there shouldn't be any problem.

"A truly strong person wouldn't care about these things. Let's go have lunch first. The rest of the game will be in the afternoon."

The round of 16 normally lasts for two days, with four games played a day.

Now, with Akane and Sakaki advancing, the remaining two games today are in the afternoon.

Then Gu Xin and his team came to the athletes' village.

As the official World Championships progressed, the athletes' village became bustling, with tourists from all over the world and more vendors here.

Gu Xin and his friends chose a restaurant with a good reputation to have a meal. On the way, they met a lot of fans. After all, Gu Xin and his friends were all very recognizable.

After entering the private room, not long after, a few more people came in. They were Oki Xueshenari and others.

"Hello~ Xiaozhi, Xiaoxia, Xiaogang, and Pikachu, long time no see."

Gu Xin greeted Xiaozhi and his three friends with a smile. It had indeed been a long time since they last met.

Because this year Xiaozhi first challenged in the Orange Islands, and then went to the Johto region to challenge the Silver Conference.

So it’s been more than a year since we last saw each other.

Gu Xin still cared a lot about the silly thing. After all, they got along well with each other, and Gu Xin was still looking forward to Xiaozhi challenging him after he had fully grown up.

"Long time no see~!"

"Pikachu!" Guxin rubbed Pikachu's little head, and Pikachu felt as good as ever.

Pikachu didn't resist. Instead, it enjoyed it quite a bit, because of the Evergreen Power in Guxin, any Pokémon that didn't have a particularly bad temper would be very friendly to Guxin.

"Xiaozhi, how were your results in the Silver Conference?" Gu Xin asked Xiaozhi curiously.

This world is not just an anime world. In fact, even if Gu Xin did not appear, the trajectory of the world would definitely be different.

"emmm..."

Xiaozhi scratched his head a little embarrassedly.

"Don't mention it. They were eliminated in the round of 16, even though Charizard tried so hard." Xiaoxia rolled her eyes.

"You can't blame me for this. They are really outrageous. And they are completely targeting me. They are either extremely poisonous or poisonous. They are either cursed or have the same fate as me."

Xiaozhi was very dissatisfied, even a little aggrieved, and looked at Gu Xin with resentment.

His journey in major competitions in the past two years has not been very smooth. Last year, he was eliminated by Xunzi's poison-based team.

And this year?

This year, he finally broke through a bunch of messy trainers and made it into the top 16, and then he met a despicable ghost-type trainer.

His invincible Charizard was replaced by the opponent's Nightmare with the same fate, and his other main forces were unable to withstand the various operations of other ghost-type Pokémon.

That's right, Xiaozhi did not meet Xiaomao in the round of 16, because Xiaomao did not challenge the Silver Conference this year, but went to the World Championship.

then……

Then Xiao Mao decided to become a researcher. Well, he felt that maybe he was not so suitable to be a trainer.

"Ha~"

Gu Xin smiled awkwardly but politely. What should he say?

Poison and ghost-type trainers are now popular in both Kanto and Johto, and it is really his credit.

"Speaking of which, Xiaozhi, why don't you challenge the World Championship?" Gu Xin changed the subject and asked Xiaozhi in confusion.

"I have registered for the World Championships, but..."

Xiaozhi replied as a matter of course, he was a trainer who simply loved Pokémon and Pokémon battles, so how could he not be interested in an event like the World Championships.

But when it came to the latter part, Xiaozhi hesitated.

"But right now, I still want to travel more. Go on an adventure trip with my friends. This is what I want to do more now."

Xiaozhi replied.

"So that's how it is." Gu Xin suddenly understood.

“Traveling in unfamiliar areas, meeting all kinds of elves and friends, hearing all kinds of local legends and characteristics, and enriching one’s own background is indeed an excellent way to grow.”

Sakaki took a sip of tea and spoke slowly in a magnetic voice.

"Eh? Eh...yes, hahaha~"

Xiaozhi was stunned when he heard that, and touched his head in confusion, but when he noticed that the people around him all looked thoughtful, he could only smile awkwardly.

Is that so? But he just thinks traveling fits the definition of adventure better because it is something he has been dreaming of since he was a child.

"No matter what the reason is, the most important thing is to know what you want. Xiaozhi, don't care about other people's opinions. Just follow your heart."

Guxin said to Xiaozhi with a smile.

"Hehe~ I know!" Xiaozhi touched his nose and smiled innocently.

"It's just that everyone is participating in the world championships, and it feels weird that no one is challenging for the rankings."

Xiaozhi was a little distressed because the World Championships were so popular this year that he was often asked about his current ranking.

"I said something to Mitsuki, and now I want to give it to you as well."

Gu Xin glanced at Meiyue who was concentrating on eating and couldn't help rolling his eyes. This girl is really...

Mitsuki, who was showing off her barbecue, seemed to have heard her own name and raised her head subconsciously.

"Everything you see and hear along the way, the travel adventures you experience along the way, the encounters and opportunities along the way, will all become nutrients for your growth and settle in your eyes."

Gu Xin smiled and spoke. This is what he said to Miyue when he said goodbye to her.

And Mitsuki blinked when she heard these familiar words.

"The World Championship is a competition to prove yourself and challenge yourself, but for you right now, Xiaozhi, it may not be so suitable."

"Continue to travel according to your heart, Xiaozhi."

Guxin patted Xiaozhi's shoulder.

“From the moment you embark on the journey, don’t forget the meaning of the journey itself.”

"I believe you will be very different when you return from your trip."

Yes, only after a long journey can Xiaozhi become the strongest Xiaozhi. This is his journey and also his precipitation.

"Again, Xiaozhi, I will wait for you to challenge me."

Gu Xin is also looking forward to the day when the grown-up Xiaozhi will challenge him with his strongest peak lineup.

Transition, as for the battle with the perfect form of Satoshi, maybe it will be the finale? Or maybe not, I'll see how it goes then.
