In the game: I stole Groudon at the start.

That's why Akromar was willing to put all its capital into Etherland.

Because he was certain that Ether Paradise had immense potential!

"What about N?"

Seemingly remembering something, Bakura asked Akroma.

He was genuinely curious as to why N was with Akromma, this ideal hero, whose behavior seemed rather strange.

“This child is having a hard time right now. I’ve shown him another side of Quixote directly.”

Akromar grinned maliciously, as if recalling the shocked and desperate look on N's face when he learned the truth.

"You really are a terrible person."

Bakura glanced at Akroma. Shattering a young man's bonds and attachments was undoubtedly the cruelest thing to do.

"Young Master Bakura, you flatter me. N is a very good kid. I have always regarded him as a junior."

Akroma seemed oblivious to the amusement in Bakura's words, offering a humble reply and appearing completely harmless.

After chatting with Akromma for a while, the villa's gate opened, and Gu Liu slowly walked out, leaning on his cane.

However, unlike before, the intense chill and gloom that had always lingered around Gu Liu had disappeared.

His aged face carried a faint smile, making him look like an ordinary elderly neighbor.

Clearly, the return of the two dragons completely resolved the pent-up frustration in Gu Liu's heart.

"Thank you so much. I really don't know how to express my gratitude."

Gu Liu walked up to Bakura and bowed deeply, his gratitude overflowing.

At this moment, he felt nothing but overwhelming gratitude towards Bakura, for it was Bakura who brought the last glimmer of light back to his side.

The obsession that had lasted for decades has finally been resolved.

"There's no need for that, sir. It's just a matter of mutual benefit. Alora will need your presence from now on."

Bakura smiled and helped Koryu up. Although he also had his own selfish desires, seeing Koryu and Chenglong reunited was, in a sense, a good thing.

"If you don't mind that I'm old and frail, please don't hesitate to ask me for help if there's anything I can do for you."

Gu Liu smiled gently and sincerely, knowing that the only way he could repay Bakura was with his strength.

But he was willing to help Bakura, no matter what!

Upon hearing this, Bakura smiled with satisfaction. Alola's second Elite Four member has been found!

Chapter 453 I Want to Be One of the Four Heavenly Kings (Seeking Full Subscription)

Watching Gu Liu and Akroma enter the villa, Bakura's eyes flickered slightly. After a long while, Bakura finally raised his head to look at the sky, a slow smile spreading across his lips.

Before we knew it, more than half a year had passed.

Alola is getting stronger and stronger!

Nothing was said that night. The next day, Bakura directly contacted all the current management personnel in the Alola region, including the island kings of the major islands.

On the artificial island of Etherland, a huge conference room was already full of people.

"The reason I've gathered you all here today is to establish the future direction of Alola."

Bakura stood up and looked around at everyone present, from island kings like Hara to newcomers like Sakaki.

And the May Sisters, etc.

"The Alola region has now expanded, and we will now proceed with the first voting option."

"Should we continue with the current island model, or connect the islands directly into a continent?"

Bakura glanced at Hara and the others, preparing to see what they thought.

With Groudon present, creating land is not difficult, but Bakura hesitated about whether to continue expanding Alola's land territory.

Strictly speaking, the four islands are also a feature of Alora; islands, beaches, and coastlines are what make Alora truly unique.

Continuing to expand the land will undoubtedly bring the four islands together sooner or later.

Hala and the others frowned upon hearing this, as they hadn't actually considered this issue.

"If we want better development, expanding the Alola region is the most ideal choice, but connecting it into a single landmass..."

Hala stroked his gray beard, unsure of what to do.

He dedicated his entire life to Alola, and he would do anything to help Alola succeed.

But island culture is the root of Alora, passed down from generation to generation to the present day.

"The islands must be expanded, otherwise the Alola region will be much smaller compared to other regions."

Kukui frowned and said in a deep voice, "One disadvantage of Alola compared to other regions is that Alola has always consisted of only four islands."

The area available for adventurous travel is limited, making it imperative to expand the landmass.

“Island connectivity is not necessarily a bad thing. There is no need to connect them all. The Sunshine Coast culture is also an advantage of Alora in attracting visitors.”

“We’ll continue to expand here, and in the parts where the four islands are close together, we’ll build a connecting ‘road’. I think that should be a good idea.”

Sakaki pondered for a moment, then stood up and pointed to the current map of Alola, making a suggestion.

Hala and the others currently hold the position of Island King, a tradition passed down through generations in Alola. What would they be called Island Kings if the islands were gone?

Moreover, the fact that the four islands are connected will undoubtedly diminish the charm of Alora's Sunshine Coast culture.

"Mr. Sakaki's suggestion is excellent, I agree."

Hala pondered for a moment, then nodded in agreement with Sakaki's opinion.

"I second that."

“Yes, that’s a great suggestion.”

Most of the others agreed with Sakaki's suggestion, since this compromise was indeed the best possible solution.

"In that case, the matter is settled."

Bakura's lips curled up slightly; this was a suggestion he had discussed with Sakaki early that morning.

The reason for having Giovanni speak was to improve his standing among these Alola native forces.

"Next is the arrangement of the dojo masters. Currently, the plan is to establish eight dojos."

"Our first Gym Leaders were May Sisters, Sabrina, Lt. Surge, Ajax, Bonfire, Acerola, Casilly, and Blue."

Bakura looked at the manuscript in front of him and began to read it aloud with a smile.

Aside from the six familiar names, Acerola and Kashiri are the young juniors recommended by Kukui and Hala, respectively.

Acerola was originally the island captain, while Kashiri was traveling abroad and was invited back by Kukui.

At the same time, these two girls are also the Elite Four of Alola in the original game! Their strength is extremely good.

Bakura himself had also investigated this, and he was more than qualified to serve as the dojo master.

Alola isn't lacking in talent, but it lacks top-tier talent capable of shouldering real responsibilities.

May and the others had all arrived by this time. When their names were called, they all stood up and politely bowed slightly to everyone present.

The older members of the group, including Hala, couldn't help but smile and applaud as they looked at these younger generations.

These kids are the gym leaders of Alola!

They also carry the hope of a new Alola rising!

"The cost of establishing the dojos will be entirely covered by Ether Paradise. The eight dojos are just the beginning, and we hope that everyone will cooperate with the establishment of the dojos."

Lusamine smiled and said that apart from the May Sisters' gym, the other seven gyms have not yet started construction.

"President Lusamine, what are you saying? The gym is about the image of the entire Alola region. Even if you didn't say anything, we would definitely cooperate fully."

····Requesting flowers·····

The island's queen, Liz, replied with a smile, clearly in a very good mood.

"Then there's the selection of the Four Heavenly Kings... Currently, Mr. Sakaki and Mr. Koryu have been confirmed, but we're still missing two."

Bakura pondered for a moment. Little Yellow still needed some time to develop, and Bakura could wait. As for the last person to be chosen, Bakura certainly had a target in mind.

"If we're talking about the Four Heavenly Kings, wouldn't Kukui be a good choice?"

Hala raised an eyebrow and looked at Kukui, asking Bakura a question.

They have all seen Kukui's efforts for Alola over the years, and Kukui is also a champion-level powerhouse.

The Alola Elite Four champion is undoubtedly Bakura, a fact that Hala and the others are well aware of.

"I have no interest in becoming one of the Four Heavenly Kings." Kukui shook his head with a smile; he truly had no interest in the position.

......... 0

His dream is to establish the Alola League, nothing more.

"Dr. Kukui, I also have other plans. How about a battle against the pioneer leader of the frontier? It won't affect your usual schedule."

Bakura guessed Kukui's answer and smiled as he spoke.

Gyms and island tours alone are not enough; there are many other Pokémon-related activities in this world.

Battle Frontier, Grand Contest, Exhibition Match, and more.

The Grand Contest isn't urgent, but Bakura can be established to compete in the Frontier Zone.

The Battle Frontier is essentially the same as the Gym Challenge, except that the Battle Frontier is undoubtedly more difficult than the Gym Challenge, making it suitable for trainers who like to challenge themselves.

This is also an honor for those trainers.

Currently, there are eight dojos. Although it is not impossible to add more dojos in the future, Bakura has no such plans at the moment.

However, he does have quite a few spare subordinates...

For example, the pear blossom tree, Akromma and N, Alice...
