Pokémon: Starting with Lucario and Gardevoir

Because he knew that the real highlight was the challenge against the Four Heavenly Kings and the final victory over Qinglv.

"Let's welcome Mr. Shiba, the first champion of the league, to the stage with applause!" Vivian waved her right hand, and the lights focused on one corner of the stage.

Shiba, shirtless with bulging muscles and small eyes, steadily stepped onto the stage.

"Next, let's experience the battle between these two powerful individuals!" Vivian stepped off the stage.

... ...

Crimson, in the center of the stage, glanced at Haoyan, who was sitting on the high platform.

He took a deep breath, pulled out his Poké Ball, and prepared for the battle.

"Come out, Espeon!"

In the battle against the fighting maniac Shiba, Crimson chose to use Espeon, which has an advantage in type.

Shiba took out a special pair of nunchucks from his waist, and with a slight effort, flung out a baby ball.

"Come out, Onix!"

Shiba clearly anticipated that Red would target him, so he started with a Ground/Rock-type Onix.

Shiba's giant onyx is quite similar to Haoyan's Tyranitar.

It is three times larger than a typical Onix!

It is a full 30 meters long!

This Onix was a Pokémon that Shiba caught by chance in Mount Miacha.

"Euphoria, use Psychic!"

"Orochi, earthquake!"

Soon, the two sides began a fierce battle.

... ...

In the guest seats.

Dama Lanqi looked at Haoyan curiously: "Director Haoyan, do you think Crimson has a chance to win?"

Damaranchi's question made Alice, who was watching the battle intently, also turn her gaze to Haoyan.

Hao Yan glanced at it and said, "Crimson should be fine..."

Crimson has considerable combat talent.

Bai Yinshan's 300 days of intensive training made him much more composed.

With his Pokémon, he has already reached the threshold of the early Champion level, so defeating the Elite Four will not be difficult for him.

Dama Lanqi exclaimed in admiration, "Director Haoyan is truly amazing..."

"Its influence is arguably the greatest in the entire Pokémon world..."

"Shiba is your grand-disciple, and serves as one of the Four Heavenly Kings..."

"Qinglu, also your grand-disciple, serves as the Gym Leader of the Viridian Dojo and even temporarily holds the Champion title due to his outstanding skills..."

"Including this extremely promising seed, Crimson, I heard he's also your student..."

"Director Haoyan is truly remarkable..."

"No wonder he's hailed as the most legendary trainer..."

Dama Lanqi's words elicited frequent nods of agreement from those around him.

This is only the Kanto region; the entire Pokémon world is filled with the legend of Brock.

"President Dama Lanqi, you flatter me..."

"I'm just an ordinary person..." Hao Yan is a low-key person.

"No wonder someone who doesn't get proud of their achievements can become an outstanding person!" Dama Lanqi thought with emotion.

"Shiba, vine, green, crimson, Asi, Nazi, Korni..."

"These people have all become disciples of Master Haoyan..."

"And they have all achieved remarkable success in their respective fields..."

"How about I find an opportunity to become Master Haoyan's apprentice?"

"Anyway, with so many students and apprentices under Master Haoyan, it seems like I'm just one more..."

"Yes, that's it!" Alice silently made up her mind.

At the same time, Yu Longdu felt inexplicably sad as he watched Hao Yan being fawned over by everyone.

Looking at Haoyan, who seemed to be radiating light, he felt that Haoyan was getting further and further away from him.

Du has known Haoyan for a long time.

At first, Haoyan was just a newly appointed Gym Leader in the Hoenn region.

Gradually, his identity began to change.

He became a top-tier curator, then a hero curator, a champion curator, and now a legendary curator.

Lance was the champion in the Johto region, and trainers in the Johto region originally regarded him as an idol.

Gradually, Wataru's brilliance was overshadowed, and most trainers' idols shifted from Wataru to Hiroyuki.

Once Du realized the gap between himself and Haoyan, he devoted himself to cultivation.

I long to catch up with Haoyan.

But every time he saw Haoyan, Haoyan unconsciously created a huge gap between them.

How could Du, who came from the Dragon Clan, not feel powerless?

Moreover, it's one thing if I can't catch up with Haoyan.

Even Hao Yan's grand-disciple is about to surpass him.

This pressure put him under immense strain.

"Haoyan is like the sun; in his radiance, the stars only pale in comparison..."

"Hey!"

Du sighed heavily in his heart.

... ...

Professor Oak, standing to the side, took in Wataru's expression.

He could understand Watari's feelings.

After all, Professor Oak was also an excellent trainer before.

He understood Watari's pride, and he also understood his frustration.

"To live in the same era as such a monster, to guide you is destined for misfortune..."

Professor Oak silently shook his head.

... ...

Chapter 626 A change is brewing in the Unova region.

Unlike the quartz competition in the Kanto region, which was in full swing.

The United States is in chaos after its prison van is hijacked and its leader, Aldek, is seriously injured.

Fortunately, the United Alliance immediately blocked the related news.

To avoid causing panic among the public.

However, this kind of blockade probably won't be able to keep it a secret for long.

Given how blatantly Giovanni kidnapped Queska and Akromma, he's bound to do something.

Higaki City, the headquarters of the United States Alliance.

The Four Heavenly Kings sighed.

Without Ardek, it's like losing our backbone.

The four elite kings of the Unova region are all relatively young and quite unique.

To put it bluntly, they both have obvious personality flaws.

Wanlong, who is proficient in ghost attributes, is an excellent novelist, but she is not good at communicating with people.

It is clearly inappropriate to expect a socially awkward person like Wanlong to lead others at such a critical moment.

The blueberry, skilled in the Dark attribute, was born into a noble family and received an excellent education.

But he later developed a gambling addiction, and he even treated his entire life as a gamble.

Expecting such a gambler to lead the Unova region is like gambling itself—it's unpredictable.

Lian Wu, who is proficient in combat techniques, is the oldest among them and is also Adek's disciple.

However, he was a true warrior, lacking any leadership skills.

As for Cattleya, she has just become one of the Elite Four and is the youngest, so her prestige in the Unova region is relatively low.

The four of them looked at each other, speechless.

Finally, it was Cattleya who spoke up: "Although I don't know what Sakaki and the others are up to, they definitely have something in mind!"

"We must be on guard!"

"And with our current capabilities, we can't stop Giovanni and his group..."

"How about we invite Director Hiroyuki over and ask him to temporarily take over as the champion of the Unova region? What do you think?"

Lacking a leader, Gadria immediately thought of Brock Lesnar, who commanded the Sinnoh Trio to defeat Quetzalcoatl at Team Plasma headquarters.

I second that!

I second that!
