Ditto doesn't move

That's what Mr. Xia Ming said that day.

But isn't this hope coming a little too soon?

Despite having such doubts, the first thing that came to mind after watching the video was not confusion, but the faces of those formidable rivals.

Xiaomao, Hiro, Ye Yue, Masamune, Tetsuya, Shinji, Dakoto, Kotetsu, Ai Lan...

Dead memories are attacking me.jpg

So many, far too many.

I want to see them again, I want to fight them again, I want to challenge them once more in a fair and square manner.

Even if it's not all of them, even if it's just one or two of them.

"Cunning, so cunning, Professor." After watching the video, Ash immediately complained to the professor, "After hearing something like this, which trainer could sit still? How did you manage to keep it from us until now!"

"My lord is far too cunning!"

"Actually, I didn't know much earlier than you," the doctor said with a wry smile. "You've been in contact with Mr. Xia Ming for so long, don't you know his personality?"

The one who suddenly interrupted was Lillie, who had brought back this "hopeful video":

"He's already done it the moment he tells you what he's going to do. He doesn't give anyone time to react at all; he's an extremely willful and problematic child."

"Doctor, I want to join the alliance too! I want to give it a try!"

"Lillie...you."

Dr. Kukui hesitated for a moment, then simply nodded with satisfaction:

"Besides the Pokémon egg I'm entrusting you, there's also Nebula. If you were to receive an additional starter Pokémon, are you confident you could take good care of them?"

"I, I'll try my best!" Lillie said cutely, clenching her little fist.

"Me too!" "Me too!" "If everyone's participating, then I'll join in too?"

"Ha. This is going to be a headache."

Dr. Kukui rubbed his eyebrows, saying with a mixture of pain and pleasure:

"Hau, Mizuki, Lillie, and you guys. There are so many new trainers this year! I was just worried about not having enough trainers to deal with the Totem Pokémon..."

It is foreseeable that once this video is officially released, it will attract countless eyes, taking advantage of the game's current popularity.

Not all trainers who have faded into obscurity, but even if only 10%, and not all newcomers who aspire to become trainers because of the hype, but even if only 10%.

With these two factors combined, the number of trainers in Alola would probably be as large as the host region during the World Championships.

As a professor, Kukui is responsible for one-tenth of the new trainers, and the workload is probably so huge that it will cause one's heart and lungs to stop.

However, the royal masked man never removes his mask.

How could I possibly say I would desert my post when faced with these children's hopeful eyes?

"But that's not enough. It's not enough, Ash. You know best the strength of the contestants who are about to participate."

"If you want to participate in this competition, you must at least defeat a new overlord in a one-on-one battle."

"Don't worry, Doctor."

The extraordinary boy who loved Pokémon clenched his fist:

"I've figured out how to defeat Daiden Kaien!"

........................

The recent days of Da Dian Hai Ling Meng Yi Er Liu San Ling Qi Shi Ba Yan can be described as luxurious~

Even if it was the power of the Z-Crystal that was unleashed that day, it was a self-sacrificing collision that was the culmination of technique and experience.

While the mongoose detective's skills were impressive, they were still too immature in its eyes.

It was only natural that it was defeated by its superior technology, higher horsepower, and proud technical prowess.

Then the lush cave became a shared territory between it and Snorlax, where it enjoyed the sunlight from the cave ceiling and Snorlax enjoyed the space inside.

The two sides are clearly divided.

Unless one day their respective technologies make a breakthrough that allows them to completely overwhelm each other, this harmonious coexistence will not be disrupted.

Because he completely overwhelmed the overlord Detective Mongoose in every aspect—physical strength, skill, and awareness—and utterly conquered him, both physically and mentally.

As a result, many Pokémon from this lineage, as well as many wild Pokémon, fell under his wing and became his disciples in order to learn how to become stronger and develop techniques.

In addition to daily instruction and battles, disciples would naturally offer fresh food.

However, it must be said that the berries of Alora...

Raise Pokémon!

Now I understand why Detective Mongoose and Rattata are so big and fat.

Damn, these tree fruits are so incredibly fragrant!

Why is it so delicious?

Before she knew it, Da Dian Haiyan noticed that she had grown quite a bit larger.

If this situation continues for a few more months, it will become like a normal overlord, with a size two to three times that of its normal counterparts.

I still miss that cowardly version of myself who was repeatedly defeated and blasted away at Clawprint Hill.

So you really miss it?

Ahem, a little nostalgia, a little nostalgia.

The life of a hegemon is simple, unadorned, and monotonous.

Bored, he dug around in front of him, where a small mountain of tree berries had been piled up. In the open space in front of him, Mongoose Boy, Mongoose Detective, and many wild Pokémon were excitedly honing their immature moves.

Originally, it could have battled Snorlax to pass the time during its boring daily life, but it is said that it has come up with some wonderful new technology and has gone to the waterfall to cultivate in seclusion.

Alone in the lush cave, the Great Electric Petrel couldn't help but have this thought in its mind:

Or, how about we go find Junsha to play?

Boom! ! !

Just as the giant electric sea lion was pondering whether to go to its trainer to get some berries, a powerful energy wave from a flying kick shattered the small mountain of berries in front of it.

The Pokémon that were practicing froze for a moment, then let out an indescribable scream.

Quack! The boss's dinner! The boss's dinner has been insulted!

Who, and who else, dares to challenge the current rising star?

The figure entering the cave was quickly recognized by the Pokémon...

Yes! It's a human being!

Instead of being angry, the giant seagull let out a sharp screech.

Great, great, this is going to be fun! We can eat anytime, and those who dare to take on challenges are very rare.

Let me see what kind of expert you are.

The newcomer put his hands behind his back, glanced around, and looked over the wild Pokémon that were battling, the giant electric sea lion that had become much fatter, and the half-collapsed berry hill.

Finally, the focus shifts to the newly risen overlord.

Hee hee! Open the door, the boss is here for an inspection!

Xia Ming, the Martial God, said in a sarcastic tone, and then issued a command:

"For my sake, use Flame Fist on it!"

The dog-type Pokémon, which stood upright, rolled its eyes and charged forward, brandishing its fist that had no flames at all.

Volume Two: The Grand Alliance Chapter Ninety-Three: Piling is the Best Way to Establish a Foundation

"Let's go for special training together once the game is officially released."

That day, Riolu, who was wiping the table with a rag, heard the trainer say this.

"The road? (Eh, but there's still work...?)"

"It's all set." Martial God Xia Ming gave a thumbs up: "Whether it's the money or a suitable arena, everything is almost ready."

"The path? (A suitable arena?)"

"Ah, that's right. You've already felt it, haven't you? Your power is increasing day by day. You can hardly find any suitable opponents among ordinary people anymore."

"If we easily defeat enemies that aren't even worth a warm-up, even victory begins to feel empty."

Well, it's not that empty anymore.

However, knowing that Team Dreammon and their terrifyingly powerful Pokémon exist, it would be wrong to be complacent just because you defeated some ordinary trainers who could spawn at any time on the roadside...

Wouldn't that make me just like the arrogant and ignorant person I used to be, turning me into a clown?

"So, go for special training."

As a result, I didn't even get to see the game ending I was looking forward to; instead, I went camping with my trainer for three days.

Well, games can be played anytime, but happy training time together is a rare treat.

Riolu had some random thoughts in its mind as it charged forward, but it quickly dismissed them.

Simple and efficient.

It was just a light straight punch that made Da Dian Haiyan, who had already secured his place among the Ten Heroes and the Overlord, instinctively feel a sense of awe and almost subconsciously use his own technique.

Simple, extremely simple, simply simple to the extreme.

There's nothing fancy about it, and you can't see any technology or development involved.

It was just one punch, a punch that anyone could throw casually.

Why is my beastly intuition, honed from the Elite Ten elimination battle, reminding me...?

Terrifying! Absolutely terrifying!

This Riolu...

I remember now, it's the one that the Emperor specifically asked to take good care of.

The Heavenly Kings' comments about her had already been circulating secretly within the Dream Creation Beast Team:

Talent and ability are acceptable, but awareness is lacking.

How could a Pokémon lacking awareness unleash such a stunning punch that made all the feathers on my body stand on end?

There's no going back anymore; a formidable opponent has emerged who deserves to show his full strength!

cracking!!!

A sharp whistle came from the direction of the giant electric seagull, but it was not the sound of its uncontrollable roar, but rather the sound of wind generated by the excessive speed it used when employing its technology.

Huh, did you dodge it?

Just like it was natural, Riolu, who was no longer surprised that the kick was dodged, naturally twisted his body and delivered a side kick.

In an attempt to dodge her first punch, the giant electric sea swallow, which had transformed into a golden lightning bolt and grazed past her, was slammed directly into the rock wall of the cave by this simple side kick that normally spun three thousand horsepower.

Yes, it's a normal 3,000 horsepower engine.

???

"Electricity! (You didn't use any techniques! You propelled the horsepower to three thousand using only your bare body?!)"

Life is turning.

Every Pokémon that joins Team Dreammon will be introduced to relevant concepts immediately.

Although you may not understand it at first, you will naturally gain insights through daily battles.

Being able to sense the power hidden within one's own body and to roughly feel one's own limits.

It's like being shackled, unable to unleash one's full power no matter what, only able to use a fraction of one's strength.

This feeling of being trapped and locked up is the origin of Team Dreammon's passion for battle.

Only in battle can those shackles be loosened, and only techniques that condense wisdom and enlightenment can give them the cathartic feeling of unleashing all their power.

"Lu (What are you talking about? Isn't everyone like this?)"
