Pokémon, start your journey from the East Glory Alliance

Chapter 435: The Champion from Guandu

After resting for a day at home, Su Yuan finally set out on his journey to the capital again.

In the capital Long's family, as the league competition approaches, Long Weijun and Long Chen, the gym leader and one of the Four Heavenly Kings, return to the family.

Because today, two "distinguished guests" came to the Long family.

"I'm sorry, Champion Adu, you're late. The Dragon God and the Azure Dragon God have already left this world."

The man known as the Adu Champion was none other than Miyuudou, the acting champion from the Kanto region, and the person sitting next to him was his cousin, Kotsubaki.

"Long Tianwang, what do you mean by leaving this world?"

A'Du was somewhat unable to understand what Long Chen meant by leaving.

Dragon Guard said while holding a cup of tea.

"Leaving this world means literally what it says. The Dragon God left this world long ago in ancient times, and Azure Dragon also left not long ago."

"How is this possible? Not long ago I heard that the Dragon God descended and suppressed the evil god."

The Donghuang Alliance did not deliberately conceal the fact that the Dragon God suppressed Wuzhiqi. It was not surprising that Adu, who was far away in the Kanto region, knew about such a major event.

"The Dragon God that descended that time was just a phantom of the Dragon God. When the evil god descended, a brave man recognized by the Dragon God summoned the phantom of the Dragon God to suppress the evil god and save everyone."

"A brave man recognized by the Dragon God?"

Yulongdu smiled. It would be fine if he didn't want to see the Dragon God, but what was the point of making up such an outrageous lie to deceive himself?

"Long Tianwang, your Long family and our Yulong clan are all believers of the Dragon God. Why do you want to lie to me with such words?"

Long Chen's expression was indifferent.

"I didn't lie to you. Whether you believe it or not, I'm telling the truth."

"Okay, okay, what about the Azure Dragon God? How did the Azure Dragon God leave this world?"

"This matter concerns the secrets of the Donghuang Alliance, but as the acting champion of the Guandu Alliance and the champion of the Johto Alliance, it's not wrong for me to tell you."

Long Chen looked at Long Weijun, who nodded. Long Chen then began to narrate what had happened in the Kunlun Mountains before.

After listening, Yulongdu rubbed his eyebrows.

Looking at the distressed Yulong Du and Yulong Chun beside him, Long Chen also spread his hands.

"These are real things that happened. There is nothing we can do about it. We can only say that you are a step too late."

"I believe you, but can I meet the hero you're talking about?"

Yulongdu reluctantly believed it, but as his last obsession, he wanted to meet the hero they were talking about.

Long Chen and Long Weijun looked at each other and said.

"Champion Adu, the hero is not here with us, but since you are here as a guest to watch our East Central League competition, I believe you will meet the hero on the way to the game."

Yulongdu raised his eyebrows.

"You mean to say that the hero will participate in this league competition?"

Long Chen nodded.

"Okay, I understand. Sorry for bothering you."

As he spoke, Yulongdu stood up, and Yulongchun also stood up.

"You two should stay for a while. Although the Dragon God is gone, I believe the friendship between our Long family and the Kanto Dragon Clan still exists. We have prepared food for you two. Why don't you have a meal before leaving?"

Yulongdu threw his cloak behind him and walked out the door.

"No need. Although Lord Dragon God is gone, the friendship between our two tribes still exists. But there is no need to eat."

After saying that, he left with Yulongchun.

After leaving the Long family, Yu Longchun said somewhat dissatisfiedly.

"Brother Adu, they are so infuriating. What kind of attitude is that? We came all the way from Kanto, and they treated us like this. They even lied to us like this."

"Okay, Xiaochun, stop talking."

"But they are clearly wrong. We are all families that believe in the Dragon God. Why do they have the right to do so?"

"Xiao Chun!"

Yulongdu scolded Xiaochun, and then he spoke.

"What they said may not be false. We did hear some news before. Not long ago, the Donghuang Alliance and a terrorist organization in Donghuang had a war in Kunlun. After the war, the Donghuang Alliance completely eradicated the terrorist organization.

Combining what I know, what they say is very likely to be true, but we still have to verify it ourselves in the end.”

"How do I verify it?"

"Let's go watch the Donghuang League Competition. It won't take a few days anyway."

"You mean to go see that hero they talked about who was recognized by the Dragon God?"

"Yes, if there really is such a hero, then I believe we can recognize him."

"Really? What if there are no heroes?"

"What should we do? Let's go back to Kanto. We are invited here as guests anyway, so we will naturally leave after the competition is over."

After saying that, Yulongdu quickened his pace. He looked into the distance with full of doubts in his heart.

-------------------------------------

At Capital Airport, Su Yuan walked out of the airport exit.

"Phew, the weather is really nice today."

With a sigh, Su Yuan stretched lazily.

"Since we're here, let's go around for a bit. There's still some time before the competition starts anyway."

Just as I was about to take a taxi to the city center for a stroll, my cell phone suddenly vibrated twice.

"Hmm, who would send me a message at this time?"

As I thought about it, I took out my phone from my pocket, unlocked the screen, and a message came into my sight.

Zhuang Yan: "Brother Su Yuan, how are your preparations going? Are you ready to participate in the league competition?"

"It's actually Brother Zhuang Yan."

Su Yuan took a photo of himself standing outside the airport and sent it over with a message.

Su Yuan: "Brother Zhuang Yan, I'm already in the capital, when will you arrive?"

The message was sent and it was quickly shown on the other side as read.

Not long after, a photo was sent over.

Zhuang Yan was sitting on the back of Charizard. It was not far from Dongshan to the capital, so he let Charizard fly over.

Zhuang Yan: "I'm still on my way. I'll probably be there this afternoon. Where's Brother Zhang Long? Has he collected all eight badges?"

Su Yuan: "I'm not sure about this. After the last college league ended, I went into the mountains to practice and I haven't contacted him. But based on his strength, he should have collected all eight badges. Didn't you send him a message to ask him?"

Zhuang Yan: "I just sent him a message, but he didn't reply."

Su Yuan: "Maybe he didn't reply because he had no signal on the plane like I did just now. I'll try again later if I send him a message."

Zhuang Yan: "Okay, you can ask later. Let's arrange a place and we can meet when I arrive in the afternoon."

Su Yuan: "Sure, you decide where to meet. After all, you are a travel blogger with 800,000 followers on a certain website, hahahaha."

Zhuang Yan: "Okay then, I'll send you the location, see you then."

Su Yuan: "See you then."

Putting away his phone, Su Yuan looked into the distance.

Finally, the long-awaited traveling team is going to reunite. I’m quite excited just thinking about it.

Chapter 436: Donghuang Alliance Competition Opens

Capital, Bird's Nest Sports Center.

Today, trainers from all over the country gathered here to participate in the annual event, the Donghuang League Competition.

This event is hosted by the Donghuang Alliance, where trainers from all over Donghuang who have collected eight gym badges gather to fight each other to produce a league champion.

The league champion who finally stands out from the Donghuang League Competition will have an opportunity to challenge the Four Heavenly Kings and the Donghuang Champion in the championship road.

If you can pass the championship road, defeat the four heavenly kings and defeat the champion, then you will be able to become the new champion of the Donghuang Alliance.

"Wow, it's so lively."

The long-lost three-person team gathered again. Zhang Long looked at the huge crowd outside the sports center, including trainers who came to participate in the competition and volunteers wearing red armbands.

"It's really lively. Not only lively, but also quite hot."

Although it was already late August, the weather was still hot. Su Yuan looked up at the scorching sun in the sky, then stretched out his hand towards the shadow under his feet.

Gengar, hiding in the shadows, took out a small electric fan and handed it to Su Yuan.

"Have you two signed up?"

"Signed up."

“I signed up before I came.”

Zhuang Yan nodded.

"That's fine, let's go in. Today is the points race, and although it has nothing to do with us, we can watch it in advance."

The three of them are holders of eight top gym badges and do not need to participate in the points competition to qualify for the knockout rounds, so they can enter the knockout rounds directly.

The points race will last for two days. During these two days, players participating in the points race must try to get as many points as possible to improve their ranking.

The three of them entered the sports center with their contestant cards and found a suitable seat to sit down.

The sports center is very large, with many groups of athletes competing at the same time.

Su Yuan looked at the Pokémon used by the contestants below, which were of various types and styles.

"Want some popcorn? Should I get some?"

Zhang Long had just started shouting for food after watching it for a while.

Su Yuan couldn't help but roll his eyes at him.

"What do you think this place is? Are you here to watch a movie? Where's the popcorn?"

"Geng Ga!"

Gengar reached out his hand from the shadows under his feet and took out a bucket of popcorn.

"Hehehe Genga!"

It was Gengar who was holding popcorn and waving it in front of Su Yuan, as if asking for credit.

Zhang Long smiled proudly.

"Haha, look, it's here."

In the end, the three of them grabbed popcorn and started eating it in the audience.

While watching the game, Zhuang Yan suddenly asked.

"Brother Su Yuan, do you know how many people, like us, have obtained eight top gym badges and entered the elimination rounds directly?"

Su Yuan recalled the information he had looked up a few days ago and said.

"I checked a few days ago, and there seem to be forty-eight people. Excluding the three of us, that means there are still forty-five people who have qualified directly for the knockout rounds."

Zhang Long wiped his hands and said.

"Forty-five people. Is that a lot? I thought there weren't many people who got eight top gym badges?"

"Forty-five people or more?"

Su Yuan shook his head.

"Do you know how many trainers there are in Donghuang? Do you know how many trainers are participating in the Donghuang League Tournament this year?"

Zhang Long shook his head.
