In the game: I stole Groudon at the start.

Lusamine shook her head. It was indeed very strange, as the other regions were each ruled by four Elite Four members and one Champion.

However, the Kanto region, which is the headquarters of the Pokémon League and the most expansive area, only has three Elite Four members.

Yulongdu is the champion of Kanto, but due to the shortage of Heavenly Kings, he also serves as a Heavenly King.

Therefore, Guandu only has four supreme combatants.

"Kikuko is a veteran champion-level trainer, and Lorelei is also proud. It's not easy to gain their approval and become their partner."

Bakura chuckled lightly. If you want to become the King of the Hill, you must win the championship in the regional league tournament.

Then, the Heavenly King Challenge will be held. If you can defeat a Heavenly King or gain the approval of a Heavenly King, you can become the new Heavenly King.

Alternatively, the alliance's board of directors could jointly recommend candidates, but this would still require the approval of the current superstar.

In short, the current Kanto Elite Four look down on today's trainers.

"I'll stop here, my dear sister. I'm going to go and prepare for my trip to Kanto."

Bakura stood up to say goodbye to Rusamine. The New Year had passed, and the plan had already begun; he had to get moving.

"Okay, take care on your journey."

……

After leaving the office, Bakura returned to the villa, though he hadn't really prepared anything.

As the young master of Etherland, he was not short of money and could buy all his daily necessities in Kanto.

"Onii-chan, are you going out again?"

Bakura was packing some essential items into his backpack when Lillie's voice suddenly came from the doorway.

"Yes, Lillie needs to study hard. When her brother comes back, he'll test her teaching skills."

Bakura turned around and smiled at Lillie, who was standing at the door.

"Little Nebula, be good too."

Bakura then took out a candy and handed it to one of the spirits Lillie was holding.

With its nebula-like shape and tiny body, it is Cosmogu!

It is also called Little Nebula by Lillie.

Cosmog is the only Pokémon left behind by Lillie's father before he disappeared, and Lillie has always cared deeply for and cherished Cosmog.

Basically, the two are inseparable.

"Mo~ Momo~"

After eating the candy, Cosmogu squinted his eyes happily and made a cheerful sound.

Seeing this, Bakura patted Nebula's head. Nebula's final evolution was one of the Sun and Moon Gods, a fact that Bakura certainly hadn't forgotten.

However, the evolution of Little Nebula is very strange. Over the years, Little Nebula has shown no signs of evolution whatsoever.

Therefore, Bakura could only try to build a good relationship with it for the time being.

Lillie pouted upon hearing this. She'd only been back for a little over half a month and was already going out again. Onii-chan, really.

"Onii-chan, I want to go on a trip too, let me go with you~"

With her clear eyes darting around, Lillie looked at Bakura with longing. She was seventeen years old this year, old enough to travel.

However, Lusamine was worried that Lusamine's innocent and naive nature would make her vulnerable in the outside world, so she arranged for her to study at the Pokémon School.

"No, my older sister said that you can't go out until you graduate from school."

Bakura was taken aback upon hearing this, then shook his head with a gentle smile and declined.

He has serious business to attend to in Kanto this time, so it's not appropriate for him to bring Lillie along.

"Hmm~" Lillie looked at Bakura with a pitiful expression, like a little abandoned pet.

Why not? If it's Onii-chan, you can definitely ask Mom!

Lillie pouted as she thought about it, but seeing that Bakura had no intention of changing his mind, she could only give up reluctantly.

Seeing Lillie turn away angrily, Bakura smiled and shook his head, continuing to pack his things.

"Team Rockets, Elite Four..."

Bakura pondered. The current situation in Kanto was actually quite mysterious. Team Rocket had already unified the entire underground world of Kanto and was now advancing into the Johto region.

Although Kanto was a single region, its vast territory was divided into two parts, Kanto and Johto, with Mount Shirogane as the boundary.

However, Johto has not yet formed an alliance, and Johto in Kanto is still nominally a region.

"I wonder who the main character is."

Suddenly, Bakura thought of Pallet Town, but he didn't know which version of the protagonist it was.

The anime's little idiot, Ash Ketchum in the special episode, and the game's Crimson.

Of course, since the character in the special episode is based on the red color, he is more often referred to as "Red".

Because the special episode's Chika is completely different from the anime's Chika. She is also an overpowered genius who became the Kanto champion in just one year and can fight against the severely injured Deoxys.

Red is another story altogether. He became the champion in a year and defeated the overpowered Pokémon that had captured Mewtwo with Charizard X!

"I hope it's Akagi; that kind of opponent would be more interesting."

Bakura's lips curled up slightly, his smile looking somewhat sinister. If it were a mentally challenged child, it wouldn't be as fun.

Crimson is still more challenging!

In the afternoon, Bakura and Kago took a helicopter to Melemele Island and boarded a luxury cruise ship to Kanto.

Under the blue sky and sea, Bakura stood on the deck with the campfire, gazing at the sea.

"Kanto~ I've never been there before, I'm really looking forward to it."

Bonfire smoothed her wind-blown hair behind her ear, and a sweet smile appeared on her pure and delicate face.

People from other regions, including Kanto where the alliance headquarters is located, are still very interested.

"It'll be very interesting~" Bakura chuckled softly.

That's the most amazing place!

Chapter 33 I'm Not Good at Lying (Please Help Me)

Alola is quite far from Kanto, but fortunately, the luxury cruise ship Bakura was traveling on was large enough and had plenty of entertainment facilities. "Lord Bakura, why don't you go have some fun? The captain is hosting a battle event."

On the deck, Bakura, dressed in casual clothes, lay on a bench reading a magazine. The campfire beside him peeled an orange for Bakura and asked with a sweet smile.

The cruise ship has been sailing for a day now, and has already stopped at the port of U-Tsang once. According to the sailors, it should arrive in Kanto in about two more days.

"No, there are no suitable opponents on this ship. If you're interested, you can go and play with them."

Bakura closed the magazine, smiled gently, and said slowly, "This luxury cruise ship is of a high standard. Basically, those who can ride on this cruise ship are all wealthy and powerful people."

The so-called combat activities are more about entertaining these wealthy people and helping them pass the time during their voyages.

Without a worthy opponent, Bakura naturally had no interest in participating.

It's not that there aren't powerful trainers among the wealthy and powerful; after all, Steven, the former Elite Four Champion of the Hoenn region, is a top-tier rich kid.

But trainers like Steven are ultimately a minority.

"Hmm~ I have to serve Lord Bakura, you know." The bright eyes of the campfire blinked, and she shook her head in refusal.

This implies that if her master isn't participating, how can she, as his subordinate, go?

"No suitable opponent? I can't pretend I didn't hear what you said, sir."

At that moment, a clear and elegant female voice came from behind them.

Bakura raised an eyebrow and looked back. When he saw the woman clearly, his eyes flickered slightly.

She had extremely gorgeous and dazzling blonde hair, an exquisitely fair complexion, a fitted white princess dress, and an elegant and noble temperament.

"Greetings, sir. I am Cattleya, and it is a great honor to meet you both."

Seeing Bakura and the campfire turn their heads, the girl raised an elegant and languid smile, bowed slightly, lifted her skirt with both hands, and performed a ladylike etiquette, showing her noble upbringing.

"Wow, she has such a great presence!"

Seeing the campfire, I couldn't help but sigh softly. For no particular reason, the girl named Cattleya's elegant demeanor in every gesture was simply too perfect.

"It is perhaps more of an honor to meet us, rather than the new Psychic-type Elite Four member, Gadlia, of the Unova region."

Bakura's eyes flickered slightly, and he stood up with a gentle smile.

Upon hearing this, Campfire was taken aback and looked at Cattleya with slight surprise. He hadn't expected that this girl, who looked like she came from a prestigious family, was actually the Unova Heavenly King.

"Sir, do you recognize me?"

Upon hearing this, the elegant curve of Cattleya's face seemed to deepen, and her eyes were fixed on Bakura.

"Last year, she won the Higaki Tournament championship with great force and successfully challenged a top player to take her place. Now, in Unova, everyone should know about her, right?"

Bakura held up the magazine in his hand, chuckled, and said slowly, "That's right, I just saw the report about Cattleya too."

Caldaria was originally a pioneer leader in the Sinnoh Battle Frontier, but feeling inadequate, she went to Unova alone to train and became one of the Unova Elite Four through her own abilities.

"It was just luck; I still have a lot to learn and grow from."

Caldelia maintained her gentle, elegant smile and humbly offered a word, her hands clasped together in front of her, beautiful and captivating.

From any angle, this man exudes the aristocratic air of a prestigious family, and is impeccably perfect.

"Is Cattleya going back to Sinnoh?"

Bakura looked Cattleya up and down, then gestured to the chair next to her and asked curiously.

Logically speaking, Cattleya, who has just become the Queen of the Universe, should have a lot of things to deal with.

"During the Chinese New Year, the United League was busy, so I didn't go home. I had some time to rest during this period, so I decided to go back to Sinnoh to rest for a while."

After sitting down, Gadriya explained with a slight smile that although she had successfully challenged the Heavenly King and won, she had proven herself.
