In the game: I stole Groudon at the start.

"It's nothing, I just got a little rained on."

Bakura chuckled as he grasped Lillie's hand, which was about to take out a clean towel. The celestial phenomena had been changing constantly.

One moment it was raining heavily, the next it was snowing, and then it was sunny again. He did look quite disheveled at the moment.

But he is in good health and it won't be a problem.

Seeing this, Lillie breathed a sigh of relief.

In contrast to Lillie, Rika and Ichiju both frowned slightly, as Bakura had clearly been fighting Koyaki earlier.

But Bakura appeared unharmed at this moment, so where is the boss?

Where is that guy?

Yulongdu walked up to Bakura and asked.

"It got away, it escaped directly underwater, so it would be very difficult for me to catch it."

Bakura shook his head. In fact, strictly speaking, Gu Liu had not violated the rules set by the Pokémon League.

Lugia was just a wild Pokémon, and anyone had the right to capture it. Lance was simply disgusted that Gu Liu took advantage of Lugia's weakened state when it was seriously injured.

However, Bakura was thinking it was better to avoid trouble, meaning he couldn't catch up, not that he didn't want to.

Lance is a man who is extremely biased about the justice in his heart, as can be seen from his attempt to humanely destroy Team Rocket. Bakura is well aware of this.

"Hmph! He got off easy."

Lance snorted coldly. Even if Gu Liu was stronger than him and was a master-level trainer, Lance still looked down on such a person.

"You actually defeated the boss?"

But though the speaker meant no harm, the listener took it to heart. Rika widened her eyes slightly and stared at Bakura in surprise.

Having been raised by Gu Liu since childhood, their reverence for Gu Liu comes from the depths of their souls!

Just like Xiao Lan, who was kidnapped by Ho-Oh when she was young, she developed ornithophobia. Whenever she sees bird spirits, the shadow in Xiao Lan's heart will spread like a bone-deep infection, just like Tsunade's hemophobia in Naruto.

But in a sense, Xiao Lan's fear of Gu Liu was no less than her fear of bird spirits!

Just how terrifying is Gu Liu? In the eyes of people like Li Hua, he is simply without limits!

But now the boss has failed? And even escaped?

"If the boss you're talking about is that masked man, then I'm right."

Bakura smiled at Rika, and even had the leisure to make a teasing remark.

Upon hearing this, Pear Blossom frowned even more deeply and exchanged a glance with Yishu, who was equally shocked. This amount of information was simply too much for them to handle.

Even now, Rika is as powerless as an infant in front of the Masked Man, yet Bakura is able to defeat him.

Bakura is that strong?

"Where is that elf?"

Yu Longdu glanced coldly at the two of them, and he could somewhat empathize with their emotions.

After all, no one knows exactly how strong a master-level trainer is, but Lance has only experienced a fraction of it.

Such a powerful figure was still no match for Bakura, which shows just how terrifying Bakura was!

However, after a moment's hesitation, Wataru asked Bakura about Dark Lugia.

After all, he was the one who caused all of this, but he couldn't handle the consequences, which made Yulongdu very uncomfortable and left a thorn in his heart.

"It's been resolved, thanks to you, Du Guanjun. You're a really strong partner."

Bakura's smile deepened upon hearing this. He took out the Dark Lugia's Poké Ball, waved it in front of Lance, and teased him.

Yu Longdu's face twitched slightly, his eyes filled with extreme hostility.

Are you talking about a motherfucker? Here we go again, trying to mock me?

"Hmph! These two are yours to handle."

Yu Longdu snorted coldly, flicked his champion's cape, turned around without hesitation to leave, and said indifferently.

Although he disapproved of Gu Liu's behavior, Gu Liu did not actually violate the rules of the alliance.

Therefore, it would be impossible for him to take Yishu Lihua and the other two back for punishment. It would be better to hand them over to Bakura to deal with.

“No problem.” Bakura nodded, looking at the two people under the pear tree with great interest.

"Come visit Quartz Plateau sometime, and we'll have a good match."

"Oh? The arrogant champion Wataru, are you issuing a challenge?"

Bakura was taken aback by what he heard, and turned to look at Wataru, who had released the fossilized aerodra.

This arrogant and conceited dragon envoy actually took the initiative to invite others?

"Fighting against strong opponents will likely allow me to break through to a higher level more quickly."

Yu Longdu's face was ashen and extremely ugly. "Arrogant my ass? Am I arrogant?"

"But you are no match for me."

Yulongdu: ? ? ? You despise me?

Upon hearing Bakura's matter-of-fact statement, Wataru's face turned extremely grim. He finally couldn't help but turn his head and stare at Bakura with a deathly gaze.

This guy will die if he doesn't hurt himself?

Is this even human language? I was the world's undisputed champion before!

Can't you give me any face?

Meanwhile, Daigo and the others at the campfire all had strange expressions, yet dared not laugh.

After all, Yu Longdu was clearly extremely ashamed and indignant at this moment. 420

"Hmph! I'll be waiting for you on the Quartz Plateau."

After glaring fiercely at Bakura for a while and seeing that Bakura was not uncomfortable at all, Lance turned around unhappily, calmly left with this sentence, and rode away on his fossil aeroda.

If he stayed any longer, he felt he was going to suffer internal injuries from Bakura's anger.

"Pfft~ Onii-chan, Wataru's face just turned green."

As the fossil pterosaur disappeared into the horizon, Lillie finally couldn't help but laugh out loud.

Who would have thought that the arrogant, conceited, and difficult-to-get-along-du would have this side to him?

After all, Yu Longdu's aloofness was too strong; ordinary people would probably have trouble breathing next to him.

Not to mention making fun of the Imperial Dragon Crossing.

"Doesn't this guy have any self-awareness? He can't beat me, and he wants me to be his sparring partner without offering anything in return?"

Bakura shrugged and replied nonchalantly that he wasn't afraid of Yulongdu.

Moreover, as long as one doesn't cross Lance's bottom line, he is relatively easy to get along with, so Bakura isn't worried about Lance getting angry.

Oh, actually, even if Wataru gets angry and embarrassed, Bakura won't be afraid. At worst, we'll just have to fight.

In the world of trainers, there is no battle that cannot be resolved.

Well, at worst we'll teach him a lesson, and he'll have to swallow his anger!

"This is about mutual improvement; how can it be considered sparring?"

Just then, the cold voice suddenly came closer. Bakura was startled and turned his head to look. He saw Yuryu Wataru with his arms crossed and an embarrassed look on his face. Of course, Bakura thought Yuryu Wataru's expression was more of a displeasure.

Well, it's a bit embarrassing to talk badly about someone behind their back and get caught red-handed.

"Ah, Du, why are you back again?"

However, Bakura has always been very thick-skinned, so he pretended nothing had happened and asked Miyuki curiously.

"Hmph! You got off easy."

Lance's champion cape fluttered in the breeze, and without a word, he took out a Poké Ball and tossed it to Bakura.

"Consider this my thank-you gift. I, Yulongdu, don't owe anyone favors."

Yulongdu spoke indifferently. Although Bakura had been insulting him, one thing was one thing. Bakura had indeed helped him a lot this time and even saved him once.

That's why Yulongdu, who had just left, turned back; he happened to have an extremely precious spirit on him.

The campfire and the others watched with curiosity as Bakura caught the Poké Ball. It was definitely not an ordinary item given by Lance.

I have no idea what kind of spirit is inside.

"Oh?"

Bakura raised an eyebrow, and without thinking much about it, threw out the Poké Ball. He was also very curious about the Pokémon that Lance had given him.

After all, as the champion of the Kanto region, Lance enjoys unimaginable resources!

Although Lance is often jokingly referred to as the Flying-type Champion Dodo, in the real world, it would be very difficult for Lance, as a champion, to actually assemble a Dragon-type champion team.

It's worth noting that in HeartGold and SoulSilver, during the second challenge against Lance, Lance's team had a total of three pseudo-legendary Dragon-type Pokémon!

That championship team was so luxurious it was unimaginable!

Bakura didn't know which Pokémon Lance currently had in his team, only that he had Dragonite and two Dragonairs. But the proud and arrogant Lance must be extremely picky about the Pokémon he had.

This is also a problem that plagues all top trainers: it is extremely difficult to find a Pokémon that is both desirable and has excellent aptitude.

"This guy probably wouldn't be that generous, would he?"

Bakura thought to himself, he really didn't believe that Yulongdu would be so generous as to give him the dragon he wanted.

A flash of white light appeared, and a small, gray-green sprite appeared in front of Bakura.

It stands on two feet, has rock-like gray-green skin, a long, obtuse horn on its head, and short arms.

It was none other than Yugira from the Johto region!
