In the game: I stole Groudon at the start.

A powerful shockwave rippled outwards, and Tyranitar withstood the impact of the Precipice Sword, frantically squeezing out its internal power in an attempt to shatter this magma blade.

The entire audience stared intently at the scene, at the magma blades and Tyranitar enveloped in white energy.

But soon, the energy around Tyranitar dissipated little by little, and finally, the Precipice Sword blasted Tyranitar away!

"Tyranitar is unable to battle, Groudon wins!"

"Since all six of Blue's Pokémon are unable to battle, Bakura is the winner."

The referee stepped forward to observe Tyranitar, and finally raised the flag to announce the result of the battle.

"Let's congratulate Bakura on defeating the formidable Aomine and advancing to the semifinals!"

The host, wearing sunglasses, excitedly shouted, "Although Bakura won relatively easily in the end, it couldn't hide how exciting this all-out battle was!"

"Oh~"

The entire arena erupted in thunderous cheers.

"Onii-chan is awesome~"

Lillie stood up and clapped, her delicate face beaming with undisguised joy. Although she knew from the start that Bakura would win, she was genuinely thrilled to see him actually triumph.

"We lost, but at least we tried our best~"

Oki Yukinari clapped with a helpless smile, his defeat was simply due to inferior skills, and there was nothing to regret.

That's true, but as a grandfather, he naturally hoped that Qinglu could achieve even better results.

Unfortunately, they encountered a formidable opponent.

……

"Great match, let's have another chance to play against each other in the future."

On the field, Bakura slowly walked up to Aomori, extended his hand and smiled.

He would not look down on any true trainer, whether friend or foe; Bakura would always maintain basic respect and reverence.

Even though Satoshi is still very weak now, he is willing to socialize, and that's why.

Bakura truly loves spirits and has never forgotten his original intention.

Therefore, he did not treat even former enemies with malice.

He maintained respect for Kona, Wataru, Sakaki, Koyanagi, and others.

The same goes for Aoandon. Even though the two are rivals, he could never recruit Aoandon to Alola, and Bakura is willing to show him respect.

Because Blue is a true trainer, Bakura admires his dedication and pursuit of the top.

"Thank you, I will continue to challenge you."

Qinglu grasped Bakura's hand, his handsome face showing a serious expression, and said to Bakura in a deep voice.

This was the first time he had been defeated in a full-scale battle, and it was a defeat in which he was almost powerless to fight back.

But he won't be discouraged. He will work even harder to train and raise his Pokémon, and challenge this man again!

"I'll wait."

Bakura's smile deepened; he looked forward to these monsters becoming stronger so they could challenge him.

Humans are always drawn to higher views; it's human nature.

But now that Bakura has reached his peak, he is beginning to look forward to challengers; otherwise, the peak, though beautiful, is ultimately too lonely.

The battle between Bakura and Aomine has finally ended, and Bakura has become the first player to advance to the semifinals.

But the quarterfinals are not over yet!

After a half-hour break, the second round of matching began, and the avatars of the remaining six players on the big screen started rotating again.

"I hope my brother has better luck."

Lillie held Bakura's hand, watching the big screen with some nervousness.

Bakura has advanced, but Gladio hasn't.

Blue Green has been eliminated by Bakura, and among the remaining fighters, only three truly pose a threat to Gladion.

Even if it were Touko, the fight between her and Gladio would be evenly matched.

Gladgio's usually calm expression tightened slightly as he stared intently at the matching pieces.

Soon, the rapidly spinning contestant avatars finally came to a stop.

Yellow vs. Gladio!

"how so……"

Lillie was stunned when she saw the match; the Indigo League had already reached the quarterfinals.

The strongest players in this competition are already well-known.

And Xiao Huang is undoubtedly one of them!

"This is just too unlucky."

Lillie lamented, "Little Yellow's Paper Sword is a real monster!"

"I won't lose that easily."

Gladgio pursed his lips, a resolute glint in his calm eyes.

"Keep going, just don't leave any regrets."

Bakura patted Gladion on the shoulder and smiled encouragingly.

Although I don't think this adopted younger brother is a match for Xiao Huang at all, but...

Well, I still have to say the polite things.

Gladion nodded to Bakura, stood up, and walked towards the players' tunnel.

"This child has grown up a lot too."

Lusamine watched Gladion's retreating figure, a relieved smile appearing on her face.

Before I knew it, my son had grown up so much, and his personality was becoming more and more mature.

"Gladio is good in every way, except that he is too focused on his identity as a trainer."

Bakura said helplessly, "Gladio is the kind of person who is cold on the outside but kind on the inside. Although he is usually taciturn, Gladio has always valued his family very much."

Therefore, Bakura also really liked this adopted younger brother.

However, what troubled Gladion the most was that this guy had absolutely no sense of being the young master of Ether Paradise.

Logically speaking, Bakura is Rusamine's adopted son, while Gladion, as the original eldest son, should, according to the novel's plot, be hostile to Bakura for the sake of inheriting the Etherland.

But this guy had absolutely no such idea...

Gladion has absolutely no desire for power; his goal and dream has always been to become a trainer.

This, however, gave Bakura and Rosamund quite a headache.

"Although this child is not as good as you, he is still very talented, and he has been working hard this year."

Lusamine covered her mouth and chuckled, her tone tinged with pride.

Bakura and Gladio are both her pride.

····Requesting flowers·····

And at this moment on the field.

"Alright, the second round of the quarterfinals begins! Let's welcome our two players to the stage."

The sunglasses-wearing host raised the microphone and announced loudly.

As soon as he finished speaking, Gladgio and Xiao Huang slowly walked into the venue.

"Hello, I'm Xiao Huang."

Wearing a white dress, Little Yellow gave Gladgio a very polite bow and greeted him first.

"Hello, I'm lucky to have the opportunity to play against you."

Gladgio returned Xiaohuang's greeting, and looking earnestly at the clean-looking, pure-faced girl before him.

Judging from her appearance alone, the slender Xiao Huang really doesn't give off any sense of pressure.

It's easy to underestimate her simply because of her petite appearance and innocent demeanor.

But all the trainers who thought that way have already fallen on her path!

........... 0

Yes, Little Yellow has won almost every battle he's fought his way here with ease!

Her fighting style is extremely ferocious, completely opposite to her appearance.

"Excuse me, are you friends with Mr. Bakura?"

Xiao Huang asked Gladgio in a soft voice, his tone and face filled with curiosity.

This wasn't her first time meeting Gladion; she remembered Gladion being right next to Bakura during their chance encounter at the beginning of the Quartz Conference.

“Yes, he is my older brother, and he has mentioned you to me as well.” Gladio paused, then subconsciously looked in Bakura’s direction.

"He said you would definitely impress people, and now you have done just that."

However, he was not surprised. Bakura had given him a brief account of his past with Koki.

"That's all thanks to Mr. Bakura's help back then."

“Mr. Bakura’s younger brother? Even so, I will not lose.”

Xiao Huang's clear eyes lit up, and a smile appeared on her fair and innocent face. She spoke firmly in her clear voice.
