Elf: Start with small diamonds, then mutate into Diancie!

But he still chose to send out Mewtwo, giving this battle an absolute invincibility buff. Was it because of the reward for winning the World Championship - a fragment of the Creator's Slate?

The Galar Alliance may not know the true nature of that stone tablet fragment, but as a mythologist, Cynthia knows it perfectly well. In fact, besides challenging the strong, her purpose in participating in the competition was to obtain that stone tablet fragment for research.

Su Hao once said that he came from another world, where he was also a league champion, with little desire for fame, and even refused the invitation to take office as the Kanto league champion.

The fact that someone like this would suddenly choose to participate in the Pokémon World Championships and even aim for the championship must be because of the stone slab fragments you mentioned, right?

The stone slab representing the power of creation could not be broken. Could it be that something went wrong with the creator god of his world?

The audience erupted in cheers.

Despite the concerns of his family and friends, Xiaozhi did not show any worry or negative emotions.

He simply clenched his fists, his eyes sparkling, and said, "Being able to fight Brother Su Hao... and Mewtwo is amazing!"

"Pikachu! Pikachu!"

Pikachu's electric sac began to flash with electricity, and its little face was full of fighting spirit.

One person and one pet, and they got really into it.

But Ash didn't notice that an orange, triangular crystal in his backpack was flickering slightly due to the aura emanating from his excited emotions.

Unnoticed by ordinary people, the ripples spread far and wide, reaching the other side of the sky, as if they could touch a world beyond our own.

........

The two semi-final matches of the Pokémon World Championships Masters Tournament have concluded.

But the result was enough to shock everyone.

In the upper bracket, Ash, who barely squeezed into the top eight in the final reshuffle battle of the season, became a dark horse and defeated Diantha, the Kalos League champion ranked fifth and fourth, and Lance, the Kanto and Johto League double champion and the runner-up of the previous World Championship, to advance to the finals.

If we say that the upper half of the bracket is where dark horses are emerging.

The second half of the game unfolded in a wild and unpredictable manner.

First, Cynthia, who was highly anticipated as a championship seed and whose strength on paper was almost on par with Leon, was defeated head-on in a one-on-one ace match.

Next, Leon, the champion of the previous Pokémon World Championships, the strongest player, the invincible Galar Champion, was surprisingly eliminated.

In the sixth place among the eight masters, Su Hao defeated Dan Di with a 1-3 advantage, demonstrating overwhelming mid-level combat power, matching ace-level combat power, and overwhelming top-level combat power, thus making a strong entry into the finals.

There was a lot of discussion online, with some even suggesting that if Su Hao had chosen to take back the Evil Phantom, he should have sent out Mewtwo from the start.

The invincible Dan Emperor... he might even shave his head and beat him 0 to 3!

Just thinking about it makes countless trainers who idolize and respect Leon, and dream of surpassing him one day, feel suffocated.

of course.

Among the myriad beings, there are bound to be trolls.

Some people even say online that if Su Hao didn't have the help of a legendary Pokémon like Mewtwo, he wouldn't have been able to defeat Dan Di at all, which is unethical!

But often, as soon as these people show their faces, they are immediately suppressed by those who have been watching them for a long time.

These people were remarkably unified in their responses, replying with a single sentence that immediately silenced the other party.

[If you're so capable, why don't you go and capture a legendary Pokémon yourself!]

Most of those who spoke up for Su Hao were people who had received some form of help from him during the Dark Night Disaster and the Great Fire of Mount Crown. Some were also people who were grateful to Su Hao for eliminating Team Rocket, a scourge in the Kanto and Johto regions.

The online buzz had no effect on Su Hao whatsoever.

First, he rarely visits social media sites in the Pokémon world. If he does, he has his Rotom phone read the news to him, just like an elderly person who doesn't know how to use a smartphone.

Secondly, he also had to receive an unexpected visitor, and after careful consideration, he could only regretfully remove the person from the visitor list for the time being.

The former champion of the Galar region league, once invincible, may now have reached the level of a legend, master, or even a god-like being.

Masdee!

Gigantamax Urshifu: Combo Style

Chapter 1186 Mastedt's Challenge

The battlefield, located behind a highly confidential hotel prepared by the Galar Alliance, is intended to allow guests to relax.

Su Hao looked at the two people who had been waiting there for a long time, and was slightly surprised.

Apart from Dante, whom I just saw this afternoon, who had taken off his champion uniform and cape and put on a British aristocratic tailcoat.

There was also an elderly man with white eyebrows, who was hunched over, wearing a black and green hat and a green tracksuit. He looked unremarkable.

The moment Su Hao saw the old man, his name and identity immediately came to mind.

Masde.

The former gym leader of the Galar region and former league champion, he had a whirlwind marriage with his young and beautiful wife. He allegedly bought a remote island called "Isle of Armor" by living off her, and started a dojo with his wife who was both capable of running a company and was virtuous and gentle.

His experiences are so fascinating and magical that they give people a sense of unreality, as if they were living in a dream.

He rose through the ranks to become a gym owner and champion. After retiring, he married a wife who was perfect in every way and lived the life he had always dreamed of.

In a sense, Mastedt was a true winner in life.

At the same time, Dante was also an apprentice at Mastedt Martial Arts School. Mastedt saw his potential and personally took him in as his apprentice.

Su Hao couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Why did these two, master and disciple, come to see me so late at night?

Surely it's not that they were just resentful and beat the younger one, only to have the older one brought in instead?

Dan Di doesn't seem like the kind of person who lacks vision.

Despite his thoughts, Su Hao didn't stop there. He walked over and greeted them in a very open and friendly manner.

"good evening!"

Dandi and Ma Shide, who were talking about something, turned around, saw Su Hao, and smiled.

"You've arrived," Dan Di said with a smile.

"Hehe, so this is the trainer who defeated you, Little Dandan? Looking closer, he is indeed imposing and handsome!"

"After seeing this, even I, an old man, am thinking of asking my wife to introduce you to a few potential partners!"

Ma Shide stroked his goatee and said with a smile.

Su Hao: "......."

Dandi nudged Mastedt with his elbow and whispered, "Master, we've gone off-topic!"

"Yes, yes!"

"Old man, I've gone off-topic by accident, sorry!"

Ma Shide grinned, his eyes, which had been narrowed, suddenly opened to meet Su Hao's gaze, and an inexplicable aura began to spread.

"This old man has a favor to ask, and I hope you, Little Su Su, will grant it."

"Please speak."

Su Hao replied neither humbly nor arrogantly.

Locked in by Ma Shide's imposing aura, Su Hao remained composed throughout, except when he was called "Little Su Su," which made Ma Shide, who was secretly observing him, even more impressed with him.

According to Xiao Dandan, he was also a powerful wave guide user, clearly suited for martial arts. It's such a pity the martial arts school missed out on another prodigy.

Masde's smile widened, and with his hands behind his back, he revealed his purpose.

"First of all, let me make it clear that I'm not here to stand up for Xiao Dandan. He lost the match because he was not skilled enough. I'm not that unreasonable."

"Old man, I came to you because after watching the match this afternoon, I was itching to play and came here thinking, 'It would be great if I could fight that Mewtwo.'"

"I wonder if you can grant this old man's wish?"

Before Su Hao could speak, Ma Shide seemed to remember something and slapped his forehead.

"Oh dear, I'm getting old, I almost forgot about that!"

"Don't let my old appearance fool you, I run an island now. If you accept my challenge, I'll grant you any request, whether it's a rare Pokémon, a Pokémon from a martial arts school, or anything else you need!"

Ma Shide stared at Su Hao with bright, sparkling eyes, looking like a mischievous child who would throw a tantrum if Su Hao didn't agree.

Dan Di looked at Su Hao apologetically and said, "I'm sorry, my master is a little childish."

Su Hao didn't react much, but instead began to think about it seriously.

After a moment, he said, "As for Mewtwo, it's no longer in Galar."

Dante and Mastedt's eyes widened immediately.

At this moment, Su Hao said again, "If you don't mind, I can send something even stronger than Mewtwo to fight. What do you think?"

Even stronger than Mewtwo!?

Dan Di was completely dumbfounded.

He even believed that what Mewtwo said was true, and that it was the strongest Pokémon.

Now you're saying there's something stronger than Mewtwo?!

Ma Shide became even more excited, clapping his hands and exclaiming, "I couldn't be happier!"

.................

The battle began quickly.

With a speed comparable to the three great masters of Team Rocket, Mastedt took off his sportswear, revealing his dojo uniform underneath, and threw out a Poké Ball.

"It's your turn to step in, Martial Arts Bear Master!"

A flash of red light, followed by a heavy thud, and a humanoid bear-like Pokémon with a burly, robust body and black, white, and gray fur with its fur sticking up appeared.
