Pokémon: Starting with Lucario and Gardevoir

... ...

Mikoto, Daigo, and the others had all reached the shore, and they were all worried as they watched Hiroko and Retsukuza facing off.

They were afraid that Rayquaza might suddenly launch an attack.

After all, there are times when they can't understand the thoughts of 'gods'.

Sweat dripped down Haoyan's forehead.

This silent stillness is very unpleasant.

I was about to say something to break the strange silence.

Suddenly, Lie Kong Zuo calmly withdrew his gaze.

He let out a dragon's roar at Haoyan, which stirred up a gust of wind and sent him flying into the sky.

In an instant, it vanished!

The speed is much faster than before!

... ...

"call!"

Haoyan's back was completely soaked with cold sweat.

Although we don't know what Liekong was thinking while he was sitting there, at least he left.

"Could it be that Rayquaza thinks I'm handsome and wants to be friends with me?"

Haoyan made a self-deprecating joke, which slightly eased the tension he had just felt.

Hao Yan never imagined that his joke would become a self-fulfilling prophecy.

In the near future, he really did become 'friends' with Rayquaza.

"Let's go back."

Haoyan patted the fire-breathing dragon, signaling it to land.

As for Rayquaza's thoughts, even Hoen, who possesses the power of Eternal, cannot fathom them.

Since we can't figure it out, let's not try to guess.

Moreover, Haoyan has been under a lot of stress these past few days.

There wasn't the extra energy to guess.

... ...

As soon as Charizard returned to the front of Slateport's gym, the citizens who had come to take refuge surrounded it.

"Director Haoyan!"

"Director Haoyan, are you alright?"

The citizens originally wanted to thank Haoyan for his contributions.

But when they saw the two bloody marks on Haoyan's face, and the bloodstains on his fist that hadn't been cleaned off, they were shocked.

They all knew that Hao Yan must have gone through a lot to save Kaina City and quell the conflict.

Seeing the concerned looks on everyone's faces, Hao Yan put on his signature smile and reassured the citizens, "I'm fine, don't worry."

"This time, we finally made it through!"

Hao Yan's smile betrayed an undeniable weakness.

"Thank you, Director Haoyan!"

"Thank you for protecting Kaina City!"

"Thank you for protecting our home!"

"Director Haoyan, you are our hero!"

"Yes, a hero's words!"

The citizens who learned that Haoyan was alright all expressed their heartfelt gratitude to him.

The citizens of Kaina feel very lucky!

There is a dojo master who spares no effort to protect their home!

After resolving the dispute, Hao Yan gave a few instructions to Mikoli and the others who had returned, and then took his leave.

Back in my room, I lay down on the bed and fell asleep without even taking off my clothes.

These past few days have been so tiring.

... ...

Hidden in the city of Kaina is a woman with short hair and wearing a gray cloak.

The woman reached out her hand, seemingly trying to catch any trace of Rayquaza's departure.

His gaze lingered on Rayquaza's departing direction, turning instead to Hoenn, who was surrounded by many people in the Slateport Gym.

He murmured to himself, "Lord Dragon God, is he the one you chose and were destined for...?"

... ...

Kaina Newspaper was very popular after its last report on Hao Yan's article.

The editor-in-chief of the Kaina newspaper used all his connections to interview Grandpa Mura, who had already returned to Fuyan Town.

I asked Mr. Mula in detail about the whole process.

Mr. Mula was always open and forthcoming with his knowledge of his proud students.

He recounted the entire incident in its entirety.

After listening to the report, the editor-in-chief of the Kaina newspaper took a complete record of it and organized the relevant information overnight before sending it to the printing plant.

A report titled "A Model Gym Leader, Haoyan! He Saved the Entire Hoenn Region Once Again!" provides a detailed account of what happened.

Haoyan calmly directed operations from Yantu Mountain.

They repelled Groudon, forcing the ancient behemoth Groudon to change course.

They protected Fuyan Town.

On Gravity Island, how did he single-handedly thwart the combined attack of Team Magma and Team Aqua, and overpower 2000 villains?

Finally, after entering the Sky Pillar and overcoming numerous difficulties, Rayquaza is summoned!

When writing this article, the editor-in-chief of the Kaina newspaper was filled with emotion!

It reconstructs the entire event, including all the hardships and difficulties.

In particular, it fully expresses Haoyan's spirit of fearlessness in the face of hardship through words.

So that all readers can experience it from the text.

... ...

Subsequently, news came that the League had sent people to Gravity Island and captured Crimson Pine, the leader of Team Magma.

There are also nearly 1000 remaining members of Team Magma and Team Aqua.

This further elevated Haoyan's prestige to its highest level.

Throughout the Hoenn region, Hoen is a household name!

The way Haoyan is addressed has changed from "Heavenly King Curator" to "Hero Curator"!

... ...

When the citizens of Kaina talk about Haoyan with outsiders.

They all affectionately refer to him as "Our Curator Haoyan".

Their pride was palpable!

Previously, whenever someone mentioned Kaina, the first thing that came to mind was Kaina's thriving freight industry.

Or perhaps it's seen as a surfing and tourism paradise.

But now, whenever someone mentions Kaina City, the first thing that comes to mind is Haoyan!

Haoyan has become a symbol of Kaina City.

Chapter 362 The Kanto Region: Turbulent Times Begin to Unfold

The news that Hao Yan had defeated Team Magma and Team Aqua, resolving the conflict between two ancient Pokémon, was not limited to the Hoenn region.

It spread to Kanto, Johto, Sinnoh, Unova, and other regions.

... ...

Sinnoh region, Mt. Coronet.

Upon learning of Crimson Flame Pine's capture and the disintegration of the Water Fleet, Crimson Sun silently shook his head and said disdainfully, "Trash is trash after all."

"A loser is a loser no matter how much you help them."

"Where there is a will, there will be a desire."

"Once a person's heart is filled with desires, it becomes nothing more than a container for filth and depravity."

... ...

The Kanto region, Team Rocket's secret base.

On Sakaki's office desk, there was a newspaper published by the Kaina Daily.

Inside the room, Athena and Dr. Syranu stood with their hands at their sides.

"Chief, we have confirmed through various channels that what is said in the newspaper is true!"

"The Crimson Pine has been captured, and the Water Wutong has disappeared."

"There are no longer any organizations in the Hoenn region," Athena reported respectfully from the side.
