Pokémon: Starting with Lucario and Gardevoir

The dodo bird shouted angrily, "Who's that pretending to be someone who wears a mask and dares not show their true face!"

"Who are you!"

Before the masked man could answer, Rika, filled with anger, flung her Poké Ball and released her crow head: "Insolence!"

"Insulting a teacher? You're asking for it!"

"Raven Leader, Air Slash!"

After saying that, she commanded her chief crow to attack the dodo bird!

Although it's a move created from air, the sharp air slash is even sharper than a physical blade.

At the crucial moment, the Dodo quickly threw out a Poké Ball, releasing its Dragonite.

"Dragonite, use Fire Punch!"

"Roar!"

Dragonite quickly condensed a fist and slammed it into the flying air blade.

boom!

After an explosion.

The Dragonite that Wataru relied on most retreated several steps.

The fist that had just been thrown left several bloody marks.

"How is this possible!" The Dodo stared in shock at the Dragonite with its injured fist, its eyes filled with disbelief: "Rika, I never imagined you were this strong!"

"Humph~"

Pear Blossom tossed a strand of hair across her forehead and said dismissively, "Thanks to the teacher's training, I reached champion level five years ago."

"After these five years, I have long surpassed the champion!"

"As for the Heavenly King of the Johto region?"

"It's just for fun~"

They reached the champion level five years ago?

Pear Blossom looks to be only in her early twenties!

The dodo stared incredulously at the silent tree.

Ichiju chuckled and released his Pokémon, Hypnos.

"hiss!"

Du gasped.

The aura displayed by the Dream Eater was in no way inferior to that of Pear Blossom's Crow Leader!

Du looked with difficulty at the masked man standing in the middle, wearing a mask.

To be able to teach such outstanding pear blossoms and trees!

Watari was incredibly curious about this kind of person!

He spoke up, "Masked man, who exactly are you?"

Although it was still a question, the dodo's tone was much 'gentler' than before.

It revealed a hint of wariness and caution.

They were afraid of a sudden attack.

Before the masked man could speak, Hao Yan interjected: "The one who understands the harshness of winter, the Gym Leader of Kaji Gym, Liu Bo!"

"Heh, now that you know my identity, I don't need to wear it anymore..." The masked man removed his mask.

Uncle Liu, who was holding the baby wild boar, revealed his true face!

He also revealed to the world a side of himself that was unknown to others.

"Uncle Liu!!!"

The dodo bird was utterly shocked!

He couldn't understand how a frail old man could be revered as a teacher by the powerful Rika and Ichiki.

The dodo bird looked at the little wild boar being held by Uncle Liu and sensed that the little wild boar's small body actually contained terrifying power.

I couldn't help but sigh, "What's wrong with this world!"

"How come all these incredibly powerful monsters are gym leaders?!"

"Could it be that the gym leader has some kind of special advantage?"

Giovanni, who easily defeated Team Rocket at their headquarters in Goldenrod City, is the Gym Leader!

Liu Bo, who appears ordinary and frail, is the owner of the martial arts school.

Hao Yan, who has gained Rayquaza's recognition and dealt with several regional evil organizations, is also a gym leader!

At that moment, the Dodo felt its worldview was about to collapse!

"Mr. Wataru, this is a battle right now, don't get distracted~"

Pear Blossom commanded her crow leader to attack the Dodo's Dragonite.

"Humph!"

The Dodo quickly regained its composure and directed the Dragonite to continue the battle.

However, Rika's strength is clearly superior to that of the Totodori.

The dodo can only defend passively.

Seeing Du's predicament, Haoyan said, "Chihong, go help Du..."

"Yes, Brother Haoyan!" Crimson released his Blastoise and joined the battle.

With Crimson's help, the Dodo bird was noticeably more relaxed.

"Qinglu, Nazi, that tree over there is yours to take care of..."

"Yes, teacher!"

"Yes, Master!" Qinglu and Sabrina both agreed, releasing their respective Pokémon to fight together.

Both the dodo birds and Sabrina and the others were consciously trying to divert the battle to the sidelines.

They deliberately avoided the places where Uncle Liu and Haoyan were.

Enough space was left for them to demonstrate their abilities.

... ...

“Before coming here, I heard you had been to the Kaji Gym…” Uncle Liu said in a hoarse voice as he stroked the little boar.

"Hmm..." Haoyan answered quietly.

Although there weren't many words exchanged, Haoyan knew.

Liu Bo has chosen to stand on Sakaki's side.

"Hmm, I understand..." After hearing this, Uncle Liu remained silent for a long time before speaking again: "Then, let's begin the battle..."

After saying that, Uncle Liu pressed the switch on the Poké Ball.

After a flash of red light, the colorful Phoenix King spread its wings and took flight!

Next battle: Ho-Oh!

... ...

Chapter 724 The Primal Gods, The Battle Begins

With each flap of its wings, Phoenix King traces a beautiful rainbow.

Although Ho-Oh is often jokingly referred to as an evolved version of Finch.

However, to be fair, Ho-Oh's innate noble temperament is something that Finch cannot possess.

"Drip! drip!"

The Phoenix King's high-pitched cry is melodious and pleasant to the ear.

... ...

The moment Ho-Oh appeared, everyone who was battling stopped fighting and looked at the beautiful and noble Ho-Oh.

They were amazed by Ho-Oh's beauty, and also shocked by the fact that Pine was controlling him.

No one expected that the unassuming Liu Bo would be able to command the noble Phoenix King!

Everyone was on tenterhooks for Hao Yan's challenge against Feng Wang.

... ...

Impressed by Ho-Oh's beauty and power, Hao Yan couldn't help but exclaim, "Truly worthy of being Ho-Oh, standing at the pinnacle..."

"Both noble and powerful!"

As he spoke, Haoyan silently selected two treasure balls from his waist and played with them in his hands.

"Using their rudeness to fight Ho-Oh feels like a desecration of Ho-Oh's beauty..."

"However, now is not the time to consider these things..."

Haoyan pressed the button on the Poké Ball and released the two Pokémon he used for battle.

"Roar!!!"

A roar filled with fighting spirit, rudeness, and even a bit harshness rang out.

A colossal creature landed on the ground with a loud thud.

The ground beneath the Pokémon's feet immediately spewed forth scorching hot magma.

"Boom!!!"

Immediately following, a tremendous whale roar was heard.
