Pokémon: Starting with Lucario and Gardevoir

Trainers who can collect all eight badges in a region are considered elite trainers and are highly respected in any area.

"Is that Daigo over there?!"

"That's right, it's Daigo!"

As a former champion, Daigo was immediately recognized during the competition.

Both the audience at the scene and those gathered in front of their television sets were talking about it.

However, these discussions did not last long.

Behind Daigo, there was another person.

This person is none other than Haoyan, whom everyone has been eagerly anticipating!

The Rockets' Kogoro has cured the Kanto region of a long-standing problem!

He is a hero who has saved the Hoenn region and Slateport City multiple times!

Half a million people stood in unison, clapping and cheering so loudly it seemed they were about to overturn the entire stadium.

All the cameras were pointed at Haoyan, and the audience's attention was focused on him.

If other people are like lamps, they can emit light of varying degrees.

That great words are like the sun!

In the face of the sun, everyone pales in comparison!

... ...

Chapter 465 Students Report to Teachers

The audience members had been clapping non-stop for a full three minutes, and showed no signs of stopping.

There's no way around it, Haoyan's popularity is just too strong.

Handsome, young, powerful, heroic, and recognized by the highest mythology.

With so many labels attached to Haoyan, how could anyone not like him?

Vivian knew this would happen from the constant cheers from the crowd.

Originally, it was according to the rehearsal of the annual Caiyou Festival.

After introducing the contestants as they entered, Vivian took the opportunity to explain the competition rules.

But today is different.

Because of the participation of celebrity curator Hao Yan, based on her past hosting experience, Hao Yan's appearance always elicits huge cheers from the audience.

Even with a microphone, she couldn't compete with the shouts of half a million people.

Mikoli, sitting in the audience, looked at Haoyan along with the Four Heavenly Kings, feeling immense pressure.

During this period of time, he has been cultivating with unprecedented effort.

He had thought it would increase his chances of winning, but when he thought about having to face Haoyan as his opponent, he still couldn't help but sweat from nervousness.

Daigo, standing next to Hiroki, was the same.

He worked hard every day to cultivate himself.

Born into a noble family, he often forgot to take a bath because of his cultivation.

All for the sake of having a real battle with Haoyan, who is also a contestant, at the Rainbow Tournament.

Safia was also attending the Rainbow Fairy Tournament.

Compared to Michael and Daigo, Safia didn't experience as much pressure.

She never even considered defeating Haoyan.

The gap is simply too large.

Despite being the center of everyone's attention, Haoyan remained calm and composed.

... ...

Vivian skillfully asked Haoyan for help, and Haoyan understood, so he smiled and pressed his hand down.

This was a signal; the audience stopped applauding and cheering, and obediently waited for the game to begin.

This popularity is terrifying!

With just a gesture, half a million people moved in perfect unison.

"It's finally quiet."

Vivian glanced gratefully at Haoyan, then raised the microphone again and addressed the audience.

"Thank you for your applause and cheers. I believe all the contestants have received your enthusiastic encouragement."

"I believe there will be a wonderful match to come, let's wait and see."

Vivian then quickly explained the rules.

The preliminary rounds were very simple, just one-on-one matches, with the winner advancing; nothing special.

The entire arena is very large, divided into hundreds of battlegrounds.

At the beginning of the auditions, the contestants competed against each other one by one.

"Please proceed to your respective battlegrounds according to your assigned numbers."

"The match begins!" Vivian waved her hand, and the match commenced.

... ...

In fact, with Haoyan's skill level, he could have directly participated in the finals.

However, the rules still need to be followed.

Haoyan's opponent in the preliminary round was a man named Ryosuke.

Facing Hiroki, Ryosuke felt tense in every cell of his body.

"I remember you. Your name should be Ryosuke, right?" Haoyan noticed the other's nervousness and spoke up to ease his tension.

"it's me!"

"Director Hirohiko actually remembers me!" Ryosuke replied excitedly.

He didn't expect that Haoyan would actually remember his name.

Ryosuke challenged Hirohime shortly after the Senna Gym was built.

"Your tactics centered around the Molting Ninja have left a deep impression on me," Hao Yan said calmly.

The shell ninja is the 'shell' of the earth dwelling ninja.

The Doi Ninja is special; once he reaches a certain level of strength, he can evolve into the Iron-Faced Ninja.

The shell shed during evolution can transform into another Pokémon, namely Shedinja.

A Ninja can evolve into two Pokémon.

The molting ninja is special because it is the molted shell of the earth dwelling ninja, and its tolerance is extremely poor.

However, only highly effective moves such as Flying, Dark, Rock, Ghost, and Fire types can damage him.

Other skills had no effect on him.

At that time, Ryosuke utilized the unique advantages of the Shedding Shell Ninja to execute some excellent tactics.

That's why Haoyan remembers him.

"Thank you! I'm so touched!"

"I never expected that Director Haoyan would remember me!"

Ever since his last battle with Hirohiko, Hirohiko has been Ryosuke's idol.

Ryosuke felt that he could brag about being remembered by his idol for the rest of his life.

"I will always remember your encouragement back then!"

"Director Haoyan, please examine it."

"These are the results of my cultivation over the past few months!"

Ryosuke was like a student reporting his learning to his teacher, Hirohiko.

"Okay, come on."

Seeing that he was no longer nervous, Hao Yan casually released his Pokémon to battle him.

... ...

The battle was over in no time; Ryosuke's Pokémon couldn't withstand a single blow.

The two sides are not in the same league.

And so, Haoyan successfully completed his audition.

Calmly await the next match.

After the top 32 contestants were selected, this time it was a battle for the top 16.

As luck would have it, his opponent this time was Safia.

When Safia saw that her opponent was Haoyan, she gave a wry smile.

"Looks like my luck is really bad; I can only make it to the top 32 of the Rainbow Fairy Tournament..."

... ...

Chapter 466 A fierce attack, easily neutralized.

"Your Pokémon has recovered."

"Please keep this safe..." Miss Joy, who was in charge of medical care, handed the Poké Ball to Safia.

"Thank you, Miss Joey..."
