In the game: I stole Groudon at the start.

But because she had been traveling with Alice for a year, and because there were so many monsters at the Quartz Conference, Mei was truly prepared.

but……

Only 32 teams left, you bastard!

Am I not even worthy of making the top 16?

Touko and Alice: "..."

Even Alice, who always loved to bicker with Mei, remained silent in this situation; the poor kid had already suffered enough...

……

"Alright, now please welcome our two contestants to the stage!"

Time quickly came for the start of the competition, the young host in sunglasses shouted.

As the host finished speaking, Bakura and Mei slowly walked out of the contestant passage.

"First up is Bakura from the Alola region! I think everyone is already very familiar with him, the trainer of Lugia and Kyogre!"

"He is the biggest dark horse of this Quartz Convention!"

The young man in sunglasses introduced Bakura with great enthusiasm. Well, even an official host like him couldn't help but get excited about a legend.

"And on the other side is our lovely Mei."

"Mei is from the Unova region and is a new trainer who only started traveling last year, but Mei's strength is quite good."

"In the previous matches, Mei defeated her opponents quite forcefully. Let's look forward to the battle between the two!"

The young man in sunglasses glanced at the information card, smiled and said slowly, "Although she is a very cute girl, Mei's performance is quite good among all the participants in this Quartz Tournament."

Even though she's not as powerful as a monster like Bakura who can instantly kill her opponents, Mei has still managed to defeat her rivals and get to this point in a very impressive way.

So this match is quite interesting, especially with Bakura and Mei, who are a handsome man and a beautiful woman.

“What a coincidence, Mei. Come to think of it, we haven’t fought since the Saint-Tiannu.”

The hem of Bakura's cherry blossom robe fluttered in the breeze as he pulled out a Poké Ball and greeted Mei with a smile.

Compared to male opponents, having a beautiful girl like Mei as an opponent is definitely more pleasing to the eye...

Mei's face is delicate and innocent, and those two long, perfectly slender legs encased in black stockings... wow!

The two female leads, one black and one white, are both incredibly beautiful.

Touko and Mei have always been incredibly popular among the game's heroines, until the appearance of Serena from the Carlos region...

Well, after all, in the anime, the childhood friend relationship between Serena and the little idiot really boosted the popularity of the character.

"I don't think it's a coincidence at all."

Upon hearing this, Mei pouted, her clear eyes filled with a hint of resentment, and replied in a muffled voice.

"Hey~ Bakura, you'd better give it your all, I'm not someone to be trifled with!"

However, Mei quickly took a deep breath, her delicate face turning focused.

Her self-regulation ability has always been excellent; she recovers quickly after a while from feeling down.

So what if I'm facing a legend? I'm not going to back down!

Mei has always believed that a true trainer should not be afraid of any challenge!

So what if this year's competition ends here? I'm still young! I'll keep going next year!

All that's left is one battle without regrets!

"I see. As expected of you, Mei. I will take my battle against you seriously."

Bakura was taken aback by what he heard, then smiled and replied, "After all, she is one of the heroines in the original work."

Bakura originally wanted to go easy on Mei, since she was an acquaintance and not as strong as Akane and the others.

But as expected, going easy on trainers like 4.1 isn't really suitable.

Bakura then put Diancie's Poké Ball back in his hand and took out Kyogre's Poké Ball.

"Hey?"

Mei was taken aback. What was with that tone? And wasn't there a Kyogre inside that sea-blue Poké Ball?

It's definitely Kyogre!

Is this guy really that ruthless? I was just saying that to keep you on the lookout, don't take it seriously!

"No, Bakura, wait a minute... If you're willing to go easy on me, I can accept that!"

Mei's face instantly turned serious, and under the referee's bewildered gaze, she earnestly discussed the matter with Bakura.

It's just facing a legend? I'm chickening out first, thanks!

What is integrity? Can you eat it?

Why choose to be brutally defeated when you can leave with dignity?

Bakura: "????"

Chapter 46 is already outrageous enough (Please subscribe to the full version)

Your attitude changed way too quickly!

Bakura looked at Mei's serious face with a strange expression, and really wanted to say something. The atmosphere became extremely awkward.

After a moment of silence, Bakura, with a slight twitch in his eyelids, put the Kyogre Poké Ball back.

Forgive his bluntness, but when people become shameless, they are truly invincible.

Mei blushed slightly as Bakura looked at her with such a strange gaze; she felt a little embarrassed no matter what.

"That idiot..."

In the audience, Touko sighed helplessly, thinking, "This girl is just too embarrassing."

"Ahem... Let's begin the battle. The battle rules are 6 vs 6 all-out battle. When all six Pokémon on one side are unable to battle, the other side wins."

"Now, let the battle begin!"

Seeing that the atmosphere was becoming awkward, the referee coughed twice, raised his flag, and announced the rules of the match.

They then stepped back a short distance, leaving the arena entirely to the two players.

"Don't be shy. Just give it your all, and I'll take it seriously."

Bakura took out a Poké Ball and smiled reassuringly at Mei.

Being less skilled than others is not actually a particularly embarrassing thing, especially for a girl like Mei who has only been traveling for a little over a year.

Moreover, from another perspective, Mei's mindset has clearly been adjusted very well, which is already quite remarkable.

How many people can do that? When they learn that their opponent is a legendary trainer, can they still maintain a calm mindset?

Mei's resentment wasn't about Bakura's strength, but rather about her own ranking, because she was, after all, a simple girl.

She had a clear understanding of her own abilities, and since she had run into Bakura ahead of time, she could only accept her bad luck.

"Yes! I'm completely different now! Please, Bakura, experience it for yourself!"

Mei's innocent face became focused, and her usually clear and pure eyes became sharp.

"That's quite a look."

Bakura's lips curled up slightly as he gently spun the Poké Ball in his hand.

After all, it's Mei. In the official promotional video for Black & White 2, she's the girl who challenges the first gym with her Serperior, which has already evolved to its final stage.

"I won't use high-level legendary weapons, but even so, my other main forces are not easy to deal with."

"Are you ready?"

If you really think that Bakura is weak except for high-level legendaries like Lugia and Kyogre, then you are hopelessly foolish.

“Of course!” Mei gripped her Poké Ball tightly.

Yes, even without using Kyogre, Bakura is a formidable opponent for her!

"So this is my first Pokémon!"

Articuno! Prepare for battle!

Bakura tossed the Poké Ball in his hand, which opened in mid-air, flashing white light, and a magnificent, large, ice-blue bird Pokémon took flight.

"Chirp~"

Its high-pitched cry resounded through the sky, and its flowing ice-blue tail feathers swayed in the wind, elegant and noble.

It was none other than Articuno, the legendary ice god of Kanto!

"Articuno... another legendary bird. What's up with Bakura?"

Alice looked at Articuno in mid-air, her eyes twitching involuntarily, and she couldn't help but complain.

Back in Lampurge, Bakura used Entei to fight her, and at this Indigo League, Bakura again used Lugia and Kyogre.

Now it's Articuno again...

So he really is a legendary trainer in all but name?

Not only Alice, but the appearance of Articuno also made the audience in the audience boil over.

Although Articuno's prestige is obviously not as high as that of Lugia and Kyogre, which are revered as gods, the three legendary birds still hold an extremely high status in Kanto!

Ultimately, even the flame of the Quartz Convention is the flame of the Moltres!

Articuno is enough to excite anyone.

"Articuno..."

Licking her slightly dry lips, and feeling the imposing pressure emanating from the divine bird, Mei's expression became even more solemn.

This was her first time facing a legend, and Articuno's trainer was Bakura.
