Elf: This owner is so sunny.

"Master Shirayu, I'll be leaving now to treat my partner."

Akin glanced at the spectators outside the arena. He couldn't occupy the space and keep delaying their challenges. Judging from their eager expressions, they were clearly there to obtain the gym badge.

"Alright, you can come to Macha City for a visit whenever you have time."

"Coincidentally, I've never been to the Johto region before, so I'd like to ask about some tourist attractions there."

Bai Yu glanced at the shattered arena. The referee was already directing the Gravestone and Geodude to work quickly to repair the arena. Fortunately, the defensive barrier minimized the damage.

Previously, during dojo matches, the entire dojo was not allowed to be blown away.

During that period, the roaring sound coming from the Macha Dojo could be heard almost every day in Macha City.

"Are there any trainers coming to challenge the gym next?"

"I am not as terrifying as the internet makes me out to be. I will systematically select the appropriate Pokémon based on each person's strength."

"Those who want to take on the challenge can wait a while until the venue is repaired before coming to take on the challenge."

"I'm in a pretty good mood today, so I'll go easy on you a bit."

Bai Yu was indeed in a good mood. After successfully defeating A Jin, he didn't care much about the outcome of the remaining matches. As long as he could fulfill his duties as the gym leader and hand over the gym badge to the right trainer, that was enough.

Ajin, who had just turned around, suddenly turned serious. He then forced a smile, looked around, and turned away from the gym.

In his previous match, he had mastered all the battle knowledge he had learned, but Bai Yu's strength was still too much, and Bai Yu's Pokémon were also much stronger than his.

Even in a team competition, Akins assured himself that he would lose the match.

That poison shard looks disgusting.

This is just too eerie. I really don't know who would come to challenge this dojo.

In championship-level matches, it's more about capitalizing on the opponent's mistakes. In the match between Cynthia and Leon, the strength of their Pokémon was evenly matched, but Leon's ability to seize opportunities was much greater than Cynthia's.

Similarly, in the match between Dante and Cibana, Dante was able to capitalize on his opponent's mistakes in many duels, thus launching an unrestricted attack.

Bai Yu, on the other hand, uses spikes such as Poison Spikes, Stealth Rock, and Spikes to gain the upper hand when the opponent switches Pokémon, and uses status moves such as Thunder Wave and Toxic to cause trouble for the opponent.

If the opponent is momentarily distracted, he will be met with a fierce and relentless attack.

Many times, even champion-level trainers lose their matches because they can't withstand Bai Yu's attacks and lose their chance to catch their breath.

If they had known from the beginning that Bai Yu had this fighting style, they would have been a little more prepared, and at least a stalemate could have been achieved instead of a one-sided crushing defeat.

At the very least, we won't lose as badly as we've seen before.

Cynthia, having learned from this experience, successfully forced Bai Yu to unleash even greater combat power.

But now...

Cynthia could no longer force Bai Yu to use his high-level divine beasts.

In that match, Bai Yu was actually playing around to some extent. After all, whoever tames a dragon will want to show it off.

N just kept taking Zekrom around everywhere, as if he was afraid others wouldn't know he had Zekrom's approval.

"Well done, nut dumbbells."

Bai Yu praised the nut dumbbell next to him.

"Nuts~"

Nutbell gave a soft hum, and its usually calm eyes stirred with emotion. For a Pokémon, nothing is more exciting than receiving praise from its trainer.

"I'll give you a snack tonight."

Bai Yu smiled at the Nut Dumbbell and then left the dojo with it.

There's still some time before the venue is repaired, so there's no rush. As for the spectators, let them chat there; the number of trainers who will come to challenge later won't exceed the number on one hand.

After being beaten up once, twice, or three times, the audience members became obedient.

Supervillain, who had previously lost his ability to fight, also woke up during the battle.

It appears very tough on the outside, but it is actually very soft on the inside.

It longed for Bai Yu's praise, even just a small one, which would make it happy all day.

"Supervillain, you did a great job too."

"I'll have a snack with nut dumbbells tonight."

Bai Yu suddenly took out a Toxapex Poké Ball and whispered something to it.

Soon, the Poké Ball began to shake slightly, showing that it was very happy. Meeting such a trainer was a stroke of luck for Toxapex. If it hadn't met Whitefeather, it might still be wandering the waters of the Alola region.

Just as Bai Yu returned to the backyard and lay down to rest.

The encyclopedia suddenly vibrated. Bai Yu took out the encyclopedia, looked at the name on it, was stunned for a moment, and then quickly answered the phone.

"Hey Lance, didn't you go to the Unova region with Daigo? Why are you calling me?"

Bai Yu said helplessly to Lance on the other end of the phone that after leaving the Galar region, Lance and Daigo did not choose to return to their respective regions, but instead went to the Unova region, or more precisely, to Blueberry Academy.

These two have put in a lot of effort to train an even stronger Alumina-Steel Bridge Dragon. At the same time, A-Du also plans to acquire a pseudo-legendary from the Padia region at Blueberry Academy.

The Styracodactylus, also known as the Little Ice Dragon.

President Damaranchi previously mentioned that he would search for Lance and Lorelei, but it has taken too long, and Lance can't wait any longer. In order to create a powerful dragon-type team.

He went directly to the chairman of Blueberry Academy to discuss the matter of the Styracosaurus.

On the other end of the phone, after hearing Bai Yu's voice, A-Du slowly said, "Hey, do you want a Tai Crystal Pearl? Dai-wu and I both got our hands on some. If you want one, I'll have someone send it to you."

Bai Yu raised an eyebrow. The Taijingzhu was not a very rare item in the Padia region. Almost every student at Blueberry Academy and Orange Academy had one. It was a business that had been expanded recently.

Unexpectedly, Wataru and Daigo obtained the Tai Crystal Bead so quickly.

To be honest, if Bai Yu didn't have the Sect Leader System, he might have already obtained the Taijing Pearl. But he doesn't lack it now, and as for Na Zi, the Taijing Pearl wouldn't significantly improve her strength.

Sabrina specializes in Psychic-type Pokémon, and her team is almost entirely composed of Psychic-types. The only exception is Vulpix, which is only good for being cute. Although it has some fighting power, Sabrina won't let Vulpix participate in battles. Battles are best left to Alakazam; Vulpix just needs to be cute, and that's all it needs to do.

Thinking of this, Bai Yu slowly said, "No need, I already have the Tai Crystal Orb. I got it before the Master Tournament. Don't forget that I also have Pokémon from the Padilla region."

Upon hearing this, Adu nodded, as he was aware of this point.

The Saltstone Giant that Bai Yu has is a Pokémon from the Padina region. Apart from that, Ancient and Future species are rarely seen in the native Padina region, such as the Azure Blade Ghost.

By the way, the incredibly disgusting Ancient Leopard that I battled earlier was also a Pokémon from the Padina region, and it really annoyed Lance back then.

A-Du coughed twice, then said, "Alright, alright, since you have it, I won't send it to you. Daigo and I are going to Kanto tomorrow, so just wait for our challenge."

Bai Yu was taken aback. The two of them returned to Kanto together. It was fine that Lance was back, since he was originally a trainer from Kanto and Johto, and Kanto was considered his hometown. As for Steven... wasn't this guy the Hoenn champion in name only?
Instead of returning to Hoenn, going back to Kanto with Wataru... that's a bit inappropriate, isn't it?

Are these two coming back together to challenge themselves?

Two high-intensity matches in one day?
No! Absolutely not.

Bai Yu coughed twice and said, "May I ask when you'll be back? I'd like to prepare for your challenge."

A-Du said calmly, "Just wait and see tomorrow afternoon."

Bai Yu was taken aback. He could manage things in the afternoon, and then take Sabrina to Pallet Town to find Professor Oak. On the way back, they could stop by Viridian City for dinner and return in the evening.

No!

Absolutely not at night!

Let's just stay overnight in Viridian City.

Bai Yu suddenly remembered that Red had woken him up late at night to go to Motostoke City for some Pokémon battles. That night, Bai Yu didn't get back until almost midnight.

Chi Hong was very excited, but Bai Yu's eyelids were drooping the next day, indicating that she hadn't slept well at all.

Just as Bai Yu had finished planning everything, A-Du suddenly spoke up on the other end of the phone: "You little rascal, you're not planning to sneak away from Macha City, are you?!"

Bai Yu was taken aback, moved the illustration a little further away, and subconsciously looked up at his surroundings.

Does this guy have mind-reading abilities?
Is the power of Tokiwa really that overpowered?!
"Hmph~ I guessed it, didn't I? You've always been like this. You promised to battle, but you ended up going to the Hoenn region and the Sinnoh region, just wandering around everywhere."

"Ahem, nonsense."

“I don’t want to see you leave Macha City when tomorrow comes.”

"Otherwise, I will go with Daigo. No matter where you go, we will follow you closely until you agree to the match."

Having said all that, what else could Bai Yu say?

These two really have nothing better to do.

One champion loves being a searcher all day long, with nothing to do but eat, sleep, and play against Team Rocket. The other one loves exploring ancient ruins and digging for fossils.

Are these two now teaming up to challenge themselves?

Now it's evolved into eating, sleeping, and fighting Bai Yu?
Can't these two find something productive to do? As regional champions, they need to handle so many regional matters every day; they can't just keep running between two regions all day long.

Before Bai Yu could say anything more, A Du's voice came again: "Alright, I know your predicament. I'll come to challenge you tomorrow, and Daigo will sit on the sidelines and watch. But I require you to treat this match with the same intensity you would give to Dan Tai."

"Don't hold back for me! As a Dragon Tamer, I can't stand seeing others throw the game."

It's much better than what was mentioned earlier.

Bai Yu had no reason to refuse.

It's better for one person to take on the challenge than for two people to take turns.

Bai Yu immediately made a decision: "Okay, just let me know in advance when you come over."

After a brief chat, the call ended as the receptionist walked into the backyard.

Bai Yu sighed. He couldn't take his anger out on those adorable challengers, so he chose Graveler, Onix, and Tyranitar as well.

The game difficulty has been increased by a tiny bit; hopefully, those lovely challengers won't be angry.

Tyranitar is indeed very strong, but it is not invincible. Who knows, Bai Yu might switch Tyranitar to Abra or another Pokémon midway through the match.

...

The dark sky was filled with stars, and the bright moonlight shone on the entire backyard of the Macha Dojo.

In the peaceful backyard, a row of Pokémon stood in a row, drooling and staring intently at the barbecue grill not far away.

"Slow down, slow down, Naz, don't give up. It'll be a big problem if you spill the seasoning."

Bai Yu watched as Natsume used her superpowers to manipulate seasonings and various ingredients.

"I see."

Nazi's cold voice came through, but her movements were very casual. She placed the seasonings and food on the table, and then lightly flicked her fingertips, causing the chairs placed to fly up.

The Ice Vulpix, which had been following Sabrina, was also excitedly wagging its six tails as it sat in front of the table, drooling as it looked at the barbecue ingredients on the table.

Bai Yu's idea for today was somewhat impromptu. After all, both Nuts Dumbbell and Superbad Star performed exceptionally well today, and Bai Yu hadn't had barbecue in a long time, so he organized a charcoal barbecue.

There were two or three barbecue grills set up, with Blaze and Incineroar serving as the barbecue chefs. Both of these Pokémon are Fire-type and have very precise control over fire.

We can't exactly have Hei Lu Jia become the barbecue chef, the conditions just don't allow it!
The barbecue grill in front of Bai Yu was naturally meant for Bai Yu to act as the barbecue chef.

Bai Yu had witnessed Naz's cooking skills more than once, and he certainly didn't want to eat charred barbecue tonight.

"Alright, alright, Azure Flame Blade Demon and Blazing Roaring Tiger, you can begin."

"Don't make a sound, Miss Officer Jenny will come knocking again soon."

Bai Yu spoke to the Pokémon in front of him, then sat down on a chair and began grilling the ingredients. The ingredients were fairly fresh, and Bai Yu and the referee focused on grilling.

Meanwhile, Naz and the receptionist started chatting, and everything seemed so harmonious and pleasant.

On the other side, Gengar, Vulpix, and Dragapult had long been unable to contain themselves, their mouths watering as they stared at the steaming skewers of meat in front of them. (End of Chapter)
