In the game: I stole Groudon at the start.

A fiery red behemoth and a blue whale collided and clashed repeatedly on the surface of the sea.

It's Kyogre and Groudon!

"Young Master Bakura, the trial operation of the dojo has been very well received so far, and the construction of the battle expansion area has also been completed."

As he fed a peeled grape to Bakura, the campfire smiled and spoke slowly in his highly recognizable, clear voice.

"Thanks a lot."

Bakura was not surprised. He looked at Groudon and Kyogre, who were engaged in close combat, and replied with a smile.

Time flies, and half a year has already passed, with the end of the year fast approaching.

Alola's gym and the opposite frontier area were already prepared, thanks to Bakura's deliberate arrangements.

Events like the Grand Contests also began to be organized throughout Alola.

"Pass the word. Now everyone can get some rest. Starting next year, everything will officially get underway."

Bakura gently played with the slender, long hand holding the campfire, pondered for a moment, and then gave the campfire an instruction.

There's only a little over a month left until the Lunar New Year.

All preparations are complete, and now Alola's true executives are only missing two Elite Four members!

As for the selection of the Four Heavenly Kings...

Bakura's eyes flickered slightly. It was time to go out. He hadn't left the house in the past six months.

“Alright, also, Master Bakura, the matter you ordered to be done earlier has been completed.”

"But is it really necessary to go?"

The bonfire smiled radiantly, its pure and delicate face incredibly beautiful. But then, the bonfire blinked its beautiful eyes, somewhat puzzled.

"The Quartz Convention... this kind of event must be pretty boring, right?"

"Campfire tilted his head and asked in confusion, because Bakura had asked Campfire to get him a ticket to the Quartz Conference more than a week ago."

This was clearly prepared by Bakura for himself.

"The Alola League is about to be formed, but we are still missing two Elite Four members."

Bakura smiled and said that the Quartz Conference would begin in a few days, and Bakura would have to go to Kanto to pick up the child he had reserved.

I wonder how far she has grown up now?

Bakura's eyes flickered slightly as he thought of that innocent child. Besides, he also had a promise with that 'monster' girl from the Unova region, didn't he?

"Moreover, if it can cause a big enough sensation, it will be the best opportunity for Alola to increase its popularity."

As if he had thought of something, Bakura's smile widened even further.

The Alola League is scheduled to be established by the end of the year, so naturally the whole world needs to know about Alola's existence!

"Speaking of the Four Heavenly Kings, Rika has been bothering you for a long time, hasn't she?"

The campfire seemed to be deep in thought, then after a moment's thought, it couldn't help but chuckle softly as it spoke.

Ever since that Alola Conference, Rika has been longing for the position of one of the Elite Four.

And she did indeed challenge Sakaki, but the final result of that 6vs6 all-out battle...

Cough cough, Rinka almost got her team wiped out by Giovanni's single Pokémon...

"But Rika is the same. She's the one who always bullies Gin, yet she still dares to challenge Mr. Sakaki."

She chuckled smugly by the campfire, feeling quite pleased whenever she recalled Pear Blossom's dark face from that time.

Sakaki immediately fielded his ace Beedrill in the first round, which easily defeated several of Rinka's main Pokémon.

In the end, Giovanni gave Rika some face and switched out Beedrill when facing Rika's Mega Evolution Houndoom.

"Although Pear Blossom is quite strong, she is not suitable for the position right now. If she can improve in a few years, we can reserve a place for her."

Bakura's eyes also showed a smile as he shook his head and said slowly.

Rika's talent and strength are indeed quite outstanding, but unfortunately Bakura has a better candidate now.

"How's Carlos doing?"

"Mr. Giovanni has already taken down Team Flare, and Vladari has been captured as well," Campfire replied with a smile.

"The Flame Team has been defeated, and the Skull Team has completely occupied the Carlos region and is developing very smoothly."

Hearing this expected answer, Bakura nodded; Team Flare was, after all, just so-so.

With Giovanni personally taking action, Vladari was no match at all, and taking over the Carlos region was a natural consequence.

"Although the Carlos region is weak, it is rich in resources and can provide logistical support to Alola."

"Tell the Skull Team to behave themselves for now, focus on developing their strength and lie low until next year when they head to the Galar region."

Bakura pondered for a moment, then gave instructions to the campfire.

While Carlos is the region where super evolution was discovered, the overall strength of the Carlos League is indeed mediocre. In that case, the Skull Team and the Aether Foundation branch will naturally have a much more comfortable development.

Compared to other regions, Carlos's resources are exceptionally abundant.

They can secretly provide Alola with a lot of supplies, even though Alola's territory has expanded a lot now.

However, it is an indisputable fact that population development is still lagging behind other regions. Moreover, expanding the territory does not necessarily mean that the number of wild Pokémon will increase.

They also need to be transported from other regions to gradually multiply.

"Okay." Campfire nodded.

"Then let's get ready and head to the Quartz Plateau."

Bakura stood up, stretched, and looked into the distance where Groudon and Kyogre were still 'wrestling'.

These two rivals would have to fight every now and then, but Bakura couldn't be bothered with them anyway, since they wouldn't get to a conclusion no matter how much they fought.

As long as the two characteristics of the Land of End and the Origin Sea are not activated by the Primal Return, Bakura will let them do as they please.

……

Kanto Quartz Plateau.

At this moment, the entire Quartz Plateau is teeming with people, because this year's Quartz Congress is about to begin!

All the hard work and sweat of the past year will be proven here!

What is the meaning of being a trainer? What is the meaning of training Pokémon?

For the vast majority of trainers, it's about having a stage where they can showcase themselves and let their light and passion shine for the whole world to see!

Their relentless training and defeat of one formidable foe after another were the best reward for their year of hard work!

"Wow~ We've finally arrived, Quartz Plateau."

At the entrance to the Indigo Plateau, the three boys wearing hats stopped in their tracks, with Ash excitedly gazing at the town before him.

I finally collected all the badges and got to this point!

"There are so many people! It looks like this year's Quartz Convention is going to be very lively."

Xiao Gang glanced at it briefly with his squinty eyes and remarked.

"Look there."

Xiaoxia, holding Togepi, blinked and pointed in a direction, calling out to Ash and Brock.

Three girls stood not far from the three of them. Their pure and beautiful appearances were obviously more eye-catching than Xiao Zhi and his friends.

It was the trio of Mei, Touko, and Alice from Unova.

"Huh? Those must be the girls from the ship back then."

Ash scratched his head and thought for a moment. Although more than half a year had passed, Ash still had a deep impression of Mei.

It wasn't just because his Pikachu was instantly defeated by Mei's Serperior...

In a sense, they went through thick and thin together back then, right? Their ship was attacked by Team Rocket.

"The Quartz Conference! I'm definitely going to take the championship home! Heh heh~ I am Alice!"

Meanwhile, on Touko's side, Alice clenched her fists, gazing at the massive Quartz Arena in the distance, a look of excitement on her face.

Her dragon is strong enough!

On the other side...

"champion……!"

The handsome, black-haired boy slightly raised his head, his crimson eyes, hidden by the shadow of his hat brim, shone with an unprecedented brilliance.

Battle! A formidable rival!

"Kanto champion~ I've been looking forward to this for a long time."

Carrying a shoulder bag, the handsome spiky-haired boy grinned arrogantly, tilting his head slightly as he gazed at the massive arena ahead.

After a full year of cultivation, everyone should know and recognize his name, Da Mu Qing Lü!

"We've finally arrived~ Big brother... I'm sure I'll win!"

The girl in the fitted white dress held the Poké Ball tightly in her hand, her clear eyes filled with stubbornness and determination. This was the most important partner that had accompanied her all the way!

The boy she was most grateful to gave her the belief she had received!

"Wow, it's so lively, Onii-chan! Are you going to sign up?"

Lillie, dressed in a snow-white dress, held her hands in awe as she gazed at the bustling crowd ahead. The entire street was packed with people, creating a vibrant and lively atmosphere.

Clearly, these people are all here for the Quartz Conference.

Behind Lillie, Bakura and the others were also looking around. This was the headquarters of the Pokémon League, so it was normal for them to be curious.

"After all, it's the most exciting event in the region, and this is the Kanto region, where the Kanto Four Heavenly Kings are world-famous."
