In the game: I stole Groudon at the start.

Kikuko chuckled in a low voice. Because she had spent many years with Ghost and Poison-type Pokémon, she had a rather eerie and gloomy aura. Even her kind smile, with her wrinkled face, could send chills down your spine.

“If she can’t even handle this much pressure, she doesn’t deserve to be my junior.”

Yu Longdu crossed his arms, his usually arrogant eyes fixed on Xiao Huang, who looked utterly helpless in the downpour, and said calmly.

Yes, Xiao Huang is his junior!

At least that's what Yulongdu thought, because he could sense the familiar Tokiwa power emanating from Xiaohuang!

Therefore, Yulongdu was not surprised that Xiaohuang was able to get here.

Because Xiao Huang, like him, was a child chosen by the Evergreen Forest, by God and nature!

Xiao Huang's future is sure to be bright!

"It's so rare to hear you say something like that, Watari."

Kona glanced at Lance, the once arrogant and conceited dragon envoy, with slight surprise.

To be honest, I feel that the changes in the Dragon Crossing have been quite significant this year. Perhaps the temperament and personality of the "483" style still seem the same, but there are definitely changes.

Having worked with her for several years, Kona has that much confidence.

“It’s not a bad thing for a young person to experience some hardship; it’s beneficial for her growth.”

After a moment of silence, Yulongdu turned his gaze to Bakura and said in a deep voice.

He didn't want to comment on Xiao Huang anymore, because he believed that this new Tokiwa Girl wouldn't disappoint him.

"After the finals, Bakura will challenge you. Are you ready?"

Kona remained noncommittal, then asked Lance in a tone that was also unclear to herself.

Bakura has stated that he will challenge Lance, and Kona was present at the time, so of course she knew this.

"I never fear any challenge! Not even if the opponent is a god!"

Yu Longdu's cold face twisted into a somewhat ferocious grin. "Are you ready?"

He is always prepared to face the challenge of the strong!

He is Lance, the champion of Kanto! He will never back down from any formidable opponent; this is his creed and his champion's will!

Even the proud dragon fears no opponent! Not even a god!

Even if it means failure!

……

"Mimi~"

Inside the arena, Mew let out a soft cry, floated back to Bakura's side, shook its head at him, and then landed on his shoulder.

Clearly, it no longer wanted to fight.

After all, bullying these elves is really boring for it. Once the novelty wears off, it gets bored.

"You rascal."

Bakura picked up Mew and rubbed its little head, then took out a Poké Ball.

Even if Dream doesn't leave the stage now, Bakura will replace it in the final round.

Pushing Little Yellow into the line with one of his dogs is not something he wants to do.

For trainers, being swept away in a full-team battle is actually a very disheartening experience.

"In that case, your next opponent will be it, Huang."

"Deoxys! Prepare for battle!"

Bakura threw out a new Poké Ball with a backhand motion. A flash of white light appeared, revealing a green gem embedded in his chest. He was slender and looked like an alien.

Deoxys II!

In fact, Bakura rarely used Deoxys in battle because Deoxys was in a very awkward position.

If you say it's strong, even with four forms that it can transform into, Deoxys is still no match for those top-tier legendary characters.

You say it's weak? Are you kidding me? Deoxys can easily beat Rayquaza when he hasn't mastered the Dragon's Eye Technique!

To put it bluntly, in the category of high legends, Deoxys is somewhere in the middle, not quite the best, but not the worst either.

Being in a middle ground is rather awkward.

But that's only in high-level legends!

For ordinary Pokémon, Deoxys remains an almost insurmountable mountain!

"It's this elf..."

Meanwhile, in the Carlos region, Karuno, who was watching the live broadcast of the Quartz Conference from her office, was taken aback when Deoxys appeared.

Because this elf had left a very deep impression on her back then.

Her ace Gardevoir underwent Mega Evolution, only to be completely overwhelmed by Deoxys...

"Deoxys... an elf I've never seen before..."

Little Yellow frowned, looking at the completely unfamiliar elf in front of him with a troubled expression.

Bakura gave her his Pokédex back then, and she has kept it carefully ever since. She often flips through the Pokédex, and Huang has memorized the entire Pokédex.

However, even in the National Pokédex, Deoxys is not included, so Xiaohuang is certain that this is a new Pokémon.

"Gyarados! I'm counting on you!"

With his thoughts racing, Xiao Huang threw out his fifth Pokémon.

A giant Gyarados stood in front of Little Yellow, its pure red body particularly eye-catching.

A shimmering red Gyarados!

"Red Gyarados, I must say, Little Yellow, you're really lucky."

Bakura looked the red Gyarados up and down and remarked that shiny Pokémon are extremely rare.

Furthermore, this shiny Gyarados performed exceptionally well in its battle against Iris.

Xiao Huang's team is actually quite water-type, with Omastar, Hippowdon, Kingdra, and this shiny Gyarados all being water-type.

However, aside from Gyarados, these Water-type Pokémon all possess excellent other attributes and are also very powerful Water-type Pokémon.

"Big brother really loves to joke." Even the adorable Xiao Huang couldn't help but roll her eyes.

Her feelings at this moment were just as complicated as Mei's at that moment. Luck?

How dare you, a legendary trainer, say that others are lucky?

"Come on, but don't be careless, Deoxys is not easy to deal with."

Bakura chuckled and greeted Xiao Huang.

"Of course, Gyarados! Water Tail!"

Xiao Huang's expression turned serious, and he shouted at Gyarados.

Since they knew absolutely nothing about this Pokémon, and couldn't discern its type from its appearance, they had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

"roar~"

Gyarados roared, its massive tail rippling with water as it charged toward Deoxys.

"A spiritual leap forward!"

Deoxys's tentacles swayed slightly unconsciously, and when two tentacles joined together, an extremely pure ball of spiritual energy condensed in front of its chest.

The next moment, the mental surge was unleashed.

Gyarados was given no chance at all; it was hit directly, and with a loud explosion, it was sent flying by Psychic Blast.

When people looked again, the Shiny Gyarados had clearly lost its ability to battle!

One hit and it instantly kills this imposing Shiny Gyarados!

"...Another instant kill..."

Xiaoxia sighed and rubbed her forehead. She really wanted to cheer Xiaohuang on, because she felt sorry for this young girl who was so young and had such a pure and lovely appearance, yet she had made it all the way to the finals.

Can……

She didn't even have a chance to shout!

It would be too embarrassing if she cheered one second and the little yellow elf collapsed the next.

Not only would she be embarrassed, but Xiao Huang would be even more embarrassed.

"Another unknown legend, I suppose," Xiao Gang sighed helplessly.

He finally understood that Bakura's Quartz Conference was just a way to show off his legend.

Bakura definitely has other spirits, such as the Serperior that fought against Crimson.

But Bakura used legends from beginning to end, so this unfamiliar Deoxys was definitely a legend they had never discovered before.

"This guy probably has both teams' legendary teams all assembled."

Qinglv muttered a sarcastic remark, "Yeah, a bit sour."

……

"Thank you for your hard work, Gyarados."

Xiao Huang recalled his Gyarados and looked at the rather strange-looking Deoxys.

Next... is the last one.

"Big brother, this is the partner you entrusted to me, and he is my first and most important partner."

Yellow took a deep breath and raised the Poké Ball to Bakura.

Yes, this is her most important partner, and the hope that Bakura gave her.

"Come on, let me see the power of Paper Sword now."

Bakura also smiled sincerely and nodded to Little Yellow...

What was said unintentionally was taken to heart by the listener.
