In the game: I stole Groudon at the start.

On the rock field, a commentator wearing sunglasses stood on a high platform, holding a microphone.

"First up is the Flamingo from Pewter City, and on the other side is the Bakura from the distant Alola region."

As the commentator in sunglasses finished speaking, Bakura slowly walked out of the player tunnel.

His handsome face and elegant cherry blossom robe immediately attracted cheers from many female audience members.

Bakura's opponent is a chubby, fiery-haired young man.

"Tch~ a bunch of fangirls."

Hearing the cheers from the audience, Huohe couldn't help but mutter something in annoyance.

What does it matter to them if he's handsome? Is that all they're going to do?

Don't you know that elf competitions are based on skill?

"Hello."

However, Bakura didn't care about the unfriendly look in the chubby, red-faced man's eyes, and greeted him politely with a smile.

Well, to outsiders, Bakura naturally had to show his noble bearing.

"Hello, but when it comes to a fight, I won't hold back."

Seeing his opponent's politeness, Huohe scratched his flamboyant red hair and responded with a remark.

"Please don't be shy, just do your best and don't leave any regrets."

Bakura smiled gently, and his tactful words immediately made the eyes of the female audience members light up again.

"The first round of the preliminary round will be between Hōhō and Bakura. Let's begin."

After announcing the rules of the match, the referee raised the small flag and then waved it down.

"Let's show our passion! Go, Rapidash!"

As soon as the referee finished speaking, Flareon threw out its Poké Ball, and a Rapidash with great momentum landed.

"A fine fiery horse."

Bakura glanced at the fiery horse and nodded, offering a light but not heavy compliment.

Indeed, it's only fair to say it's not bad, but at least it shows that this fat guy isn't a rookie trainer.

That's true, he doesn't look it based on his age.

"I'm sorry, but please stop here. I'm here for the championship."

Upon hearing this, Huohe raised his head slightly, a hint of smugness in his voice.

"I think all the contestants who come to participate in the competition have this goal."

Bakura smiled, and a white Poké Ball appeared in his hand without him noticing. He then threw it over his shoulder.

"I'm so sorry, but I can't leave right now. So, this is what I'll do."

"Prepare for battle, Lugia."

"Woo~"

The Poké Ball opened in mid-air, accompanied by a deep, high-pitched cry, and a huge, magnificent Pokémon spread its wings in the air!

With its magnificent body and enormous wings, it is none other than Lugia, the sea god of Kanto legend!

Flamingo: ? ? ?

The once bustling sub-venue seemed to have been put on pause, becoming completely silent.

Everyone stared in stunned silence at the magnificent white sprite in the sky.

legend!

"Oh my god! Lugia! Bakura's first Pokémon is Lugia!"

"This is the legendary sea god! Bakura is actually a legendary trainer!"

"This……"

As the official commentator of the Pokémon League, the sunglasses-wearing commentator quickly regained his composure, gripped the microphone tightly with excitement, and said in a trembling voice.

Heaven have mercy.

It wasn't that he lacked mental fortitude, but rather that Lugia's appearance was simply too shocking.

Legendary trainers are the rarest 'species' in this world, okay?

Currently, there is only one Legendary Trainer in the world who is known to the public: Age of Gods from Hoenn.

Seemingly awakened by the voice of the commentator behind the sunglasses, the entire venue suddenly became incredibly noisy, with the audience all looking at Lugia with excited expressions.

Lugia's battle made this Indigo League worthwhile!

However, compared to the excited audience, Huohuo's face was twitching...

“Luggia…”

What the hell, Lugia? Are you poisonous?

Flamingo's eyelids twitched wildly as he stared at the magnificent and noble Lugia. He truly couldn't describe his emotions at that moment...

No way, this is only the first round of the preliminaries, and you're already using Lugia against me?

Are you sick?

"Pfft...that fat guy's expression is hilarious, his face turned blue, haha~"

In the audience, Lillie looked at the bewildered Flamingo and couldn't help but laugh.

This fat guy is so funny.

"Young Master Bakura went a bit too far," Campfire chuckled, covering his mouth with his hand.

Lusamine smiled. Although she knew that Bakura's purpose in participating in the Indigo League was to make Alola famous, she did not expect that Bakura would become a Legend in the first round.

"...Even if it's Lugia, we won't be afraid."

"Firehorse! Flame Leap!"

Gritting his teeth, and looking at the somewhat fearful Flaming Horse, Firecracker shouted loudly.

There's no time to hesitate. The pressure from the legend is too immense. If this stalemate continues, even Huohe fears he might lose his will to fight.

Surrendering without a fight would be too shameful!

Upon hearing its trainer's command, Rapidash let out two uneasy neighs, but still managed to unleash a jet of fire towards Lugia.

"Water cannon".

Bakura chuckled and gave an order to Lugia.

Although Lugia didn't unleash his divine power, the fact that this fiery steed dared to attack certainly lived up to his earlier praise of "not bad."

This Lugia is the child of Lugia's mother and Dark Lugia. The couple specifically asked Bakura to raise the baby Lugia.

Six months have passed, and Lugia, now 4.1, has grown a lot.

The talent of a high-level legendary figure goes without saying; even if he grows naturally, Lugia's future will be exceptionally bright.

Not to mention that Bakura is currently nurturing it, and Bakura has never been stingy with the resources for its growth. Although the little Lugia is not even a year old, it is far stronger than ordinary Pokémon under the same conditions!

"Woo~"

Lugia spread its wings and cried out, then turned its head to meet the jet of fire with a huge column of water.

With no equal in strength, the water cannon overwhelmingly crushed the fire pillar, hitting the Fiery Horse perfectly.

The fiery horse was pinned to the ground by the water cannon and could not move, its face contorted in pain.

After the water cannon ended, the Fiery Horse, soaking wet, was no longer able to fight.

A clean and swift kill!

"Wow~ Lugia defeated Rapidash head-on with Water Cannon! That's an overwhelming force!"

"My God! Lugia is so strong!"

The commentator, wearing sunglasses, excitedly sprayed saliva into the microphone. As an official commentator, his mental fortitude was definitely up to par. Furthermore, he maintained an absolutely impartial mindset, and his commentary remained unbiased towards either side.

However, this time...

"Damn it, I'm the Kanto Trainer, okay?"

Seeing the Flaming Horse completely incapacitated, Flamingo's face was already ashen, and the commentator in sunglasses kept exclaiming, "What a fuss!"

He's completely lost it!

Who the hell are you, commentator? The people on the other side are Alola trainers, they're the outsiders, okay?

Don't you have any self-awareness? You're so happy to see others bullying trainers from your region?

The flamingo felt very uncomfortable and a little inexplicably wronged.

But you have to swallow your grievances, because this is the Quartz Conference that the entire region is watching!

"Growlithe!"

Recalling the incapacitated Rapidash, Flamingo gritted its teeth and threw out the Poké Ball again.

A magnificent and imposing Growlithe appeared before Flamede.

"Not bad, Growlithe."

Bakura glanced at it twice, then gave a nonchalant smile and offered a compliment.

For 14, it's just not bad.

"Arcanine, attack with lightning speed!"

Huohe, however, looked solemn. In any case, he felt that he had no chance of advancing.
