In the game: I stole Groudon at the start.

Xiaoxia slapped her forehead and sighed helplessly.

As long as they don't get matched with Bakura, given Akane's strength, they believe they are definitely not weaker than the other two monsters.

It's at least a 50/50 situation, with a 50% chance of making it to the finals.

But it matched with Bakura...

Look at the fate of Green, who was originally one of Pallet Town's hopes...

It wasn't that they didn't believe in Crimson, but rather that Bakura was indeed far too strong, to the point of despair.

Let's see Bakura's trump card: Lugia, Kyogre, and Groudon. How are we supposed to deal with them?

Moreover, no one knows whether Bakura has any other advanced legends.

"Phew~ Thank goodness it wasn't Bakura."

Meanwhile, Mei breathed a sigh of relief, patted her bulging chest, and smiled.

Well, although she often bickers with Alice, she is, after all, the only one of the three Unova sisters to survive to the end.

It was really lucky that they were able to avoid a direct confrontation with Bakura in the semifinals.

"Don't be careless. Xiao Huang is definitely not easy to deal with. I showed you all her matches so far in the competition yesterday."

Touko, however, was not as optimistic as Mei, and spoke with her brows furrowed.

"I know, don't worry. She's not easy to deal with, and I'm not someone to be trifled with."

Alice nodded, her dragon-like, aggressive eyes fixed on the pure-faced girl on the screen—her final opponent on her way to the finals!

"I am Alice from Twin Dragons City, Unova!"

……

The rest period passed quickly.

"Alright, now please welcome the first pair of players from the semifinals to the stage!"

The sunglasses-wearing host held up the microphone and announced loudly.

A wave of applause erupted from the audience, and at the same time, Bakura and Akane slowly walked out of the contestant tunnel.

"I really didn't expect that, Aka. It's been more than half a year since our last battle."

Bakura looked at the crimson figure opposite him and slowly revealed a smile.

He was quite surprised when he saw the matching results, but it's not bad this way.

Bakura was very interested in fighting the remaining three people, no matter who they were.

Crimson is undoubtedly an ideal opponent!

"Yes, this is our first battle since Lavender Town."

Akane nodded, slightly lowering the brim of his hat, his red eyes, hidden in the shadow of the brim, gazing eagerly at Bakura.

Yes, those were extremely eager eyes!

This is because we are about to fight Bakura!

"That was just a 1v1 battle, but this time it's an all-out battle, but I'm actually quite disappointed."

Bakura noticed Akane's burning gaze, and the corners of his mouth curved into a wider smile. He took out a Poké Ball and flicked it twice.

"Because you've only grown for a year now, Crimson, I really want to fight you when you've reached your peak."

"I am very strong right now!"

Akane fell silent upon hearing this, then spoke in a deep voice to Bakura, expressing his dissatisfaction with Bakura's words.

Because that was an expression that he still couldn't get Bakura to give his all?

"Of course, you are very strong now, as are many others."

Bakura keenly noticed the dissatisfaction in Akane's words, chuckled softly, and said slowly.

“Crimson, I remember telling you this before, right? I started traveling two years ago, so it's been three years now, including this year.”

Bakura held up three fingers to Akame, gazing intently at Akame's red eyes beneath the brim of her hat.

"For three whole years, I have never lost. Do you know why I have always valued you so much?"

"Because you are really like me, Crimson. You and I both have unique talents. We are both special."

Bakura lowered his voice. The boy in front of him was the legend from the original work!

A legend who swept through all opponents in just one year, and even captured Mewtwo in the end!

But in this world, Bakura is the true legend!

Bakura has taken the lead, so no matter who it is, they can only chase after his peak!

"I am different from you, and I don't want to be like you. I will defeat you!"

"Bakura, I know you're strong now, but I've always believed that there's no truly invincible trainer. I will defeat you!"

"If once isn't enough, I'll try twice; if twice isn't enough, I'll try three times! I'll keep challenging you until I reach the highest position!"

Akane retorted in a deep voice, "I am Akane! I am different from Bakura! I don't want to become Bakura's shadow!"

Bakura was taken aback by what he heard, looking into those red, stubborn, and pure eyes, at that unquestionable will...

As expected of the legendary trainer from the original work?

However, even so, it's useless!

"Haha~ Well said, Akatsuki! Let me see your conviction. My first Pokémon is this guy!"

"Prepare for battle, Lugia!"

"Woo~"

With Bakura's loud laughter, the giant Lugia spread its wings and took flight, its deep cry echoing through the sky!

The legendary Lugia has arrived!

"Woo~"

A deep, melodious cry echoed throughout the Indigo League arena as the enormous Lugia floated in mid-air, wings outstretched. A vast, oppressive aura emanated from it, making the air seem heavy and oppressive—this was the divine power unique to high-level legends!

"Onii-chan, you're using Lugia as your first Pokémon?"

Upon seeing Lugia, Lillie tilted her head slightly, remembering that Bakura seemed to value Akane quite a bit.

If you want to enjoy the duel with Crimson, then using those lower-level legendaries is obviously more appropriate.

Since Bakura only captured these creatures this year and nurtured them for just over half a year, they are perfect for dealing with opponents like Akame.

"Young Master Bakura used Lugia precisely because he wanted a serious duel with Akame."

With a sweet smile on his face, the bonfire looked at Bakura in the arena and spoke slowly.

The campfire, who had always been by Bakura's side, actually understood Bakura's thoughts better.

From the very first meeting between Bakura and Akame, Bakura's attitude towards Akame, the boy who had just embarked on his journey, was somewhat ambiguous.

At the time, Campfire didn't understand why, and even asked Bakura about it, but now, Campfire can roughly understand.

"This is the recognition and resonance between them. Although I don't know why, there are really too few trainers like them."

473 Lusamine smiled faintly on her beautiful face and sighed softly.

Yes, it's actually hard for her to understand, because unlike Bakura and the others, she's just a highly talented trainer.

Lusamine believes that her talent is actually quite good. Even though she is developing Aether Paradise, Lusamine is now a Champion-level trainer, surpassing the vast majority of people in the world.

But she can't compare to Bakura and the others!

This world has never been fair. Even with the same starting point and the same Pokémon, the results of two different training and development programs can be worlds apart.

Just like Bakura, he displayed unparalleled talent from the very beginning, and in just one year, he became a champion-level trainer!

In just one year, Bakura has reached a height that 99% of people in the world could never achieve in their entire lives!

Bakura's monstrous talent has allowed him to grow continuously, and now he has almost reached the end.

"Don't you think these kids are a lot like Bakura?"

Lusamine looked at the crimson, then at the image of Little Yellow Alice in the corner of the big screen.

Actually, if the world hadn't brought these people together, wouldn't each of them have been a trainer who could have dominated an era?

Red, Green, and Yellow are all champions who became champions within a year. If they were placed in Bakura's position back then, they could have achieved the same feat as Bakura, who used a single Pokémon to sweep through the tournament and shock the region within a year of his debut.

Excellence, to some extent, can also be a source of unspeakable distress for an individual.

Therefore, when you encounter someone who is just as excellent as yourself, you will feel a sense of resonance and recognition, and you will treat that person specially.

Just as Bakura treats and acknowledges Giovanni, Wataru, and others with special regard, the red, blue, green, and yellow characters also deserve Bakura's special treatment.

Even now, the Crimson, Green, and others have not yet reached their peak.

……

Meanwhile, on the battlefield...

“Luggia…”

Crimson lowered the brim of her hat slightly, gazing at the legend soaring in mid-air, unleashing its overwhelming power, her red eyes shining with an unprecedentedly fervent light.

This is Lugia! The legendary sea god!

He is now facing a legend!

Feeling the pressure emanating from Lugia, Crimson could feel his heart beating faster and more violently than ever before!

Yes, I've never jumped so fast before!

Is this fear?
