Age of Elves: I started flashing with my handheld.

You idiot, you don't know how to play cards! Even though it's only one game, what's the meaning of starting with four twos?

If you can't play cards, can't you at least be a good person?

Huayue and Furong quickly retreated to the contestants' passageway and even sent out their Pokémon for defense. They had reason to suspect that those standing in the stands would also be affected, and as for the referee, he had long since vanished without a trace.

"Ice Guardian, use Ice Protection!" Bonnie shouted.

This is the Dynamax move "Max Guard," based on "Protect," plus...

"Haaah!!" Super Ice Ghost Guardian roared loudly.

Instantly, white snowflakes were swept around its body by the gale and quickly condensed into a blizzard, turning the originally transparent "Max Garbage" above its head into a solid ice barrier.

It was as if an ice fortress had been erected on the ground.

Bonnie named it "Ice Shelter".

But can it stop Super Tyranitar's "Geoblast"?

The results will be announced soon.

The rocks that covered the entire battlefield fell, creating a scene reminiscent of Mount Buzhou breaking apart and the sky collapsing.

What remains is ground subsidence.

"Rumble..."

The heaven and earth shook.

As for the result, Nanfeng already knew that the Earth Explosion Star was firmly attached to the ground and even deeply embedded, which meant that the protection of the ice had not lasted.

When the rock was pried open by Mega Tyranitar, Glalie, which had already deactivated its Dynamax and Mega Evolution, was revealed.

"Gladiator is unable to battle, Tyranitar wins!" The referee, who appeared out of nowhere, announced the final result of the duel.

403. Champion "Mikoli"

The fourth Elite Four member of the Hoenn region.

Genji, the dragon king.

The eldest and most powerful of the Four Heavenly Kings, even though there is another Ice-type Heavenly King among them, he is still considered the strongest, demonstrating his immense power.

But even this Heavenly King did not have a final Heavenly King battle with Nanfeng.

“Go ahead, Mikoto is waiting for you,” Grandpa Genji said, stepping aside the door behind him.

"You...aren't you going to fight me?" Nanfeng asked in confusion.

Aunt Bonnie at least managed to play a game against herself with an ace.

"There's no need. Your strength has already been recognized by me. Fighting again would only be a waste of time."

"Also, I'd love to witness the championship battle as soon as possible!"

Judging from Genji's words, he has clearly already regarded Nanfeng as a champion trainer.

Well, since Master Genji has already said so, I have no choice but to respectfully comply.

Nanfeng entered the fifth room.

It is also the end of the road to victory, the location of the champion's throne, and the place between champions.

Pushing open the door, Nanfeng was greeted by a huge space, larger than the previous four rooms.

In the very center of the room was a battle arena the size of a football field. Larger than a typical Dynamax...

After the battlefield,

The enormous space resembled a football field, with the opposing team's battlefield in the very center, and the champion's throne standing directly opposite the battlefield.

A slender, tall, elegant man in a white suit, white beret, and white champion's cape sat dozing on the throne.

This elegant gentleman is none other than Mikkuri, the champion of the Hoenn region.

Mikoli, hailed as a champion who combines beauty and strength.

Because in addition to being a champion, he is also a world-renowned Pokémon Coordinator! There is even a Coordinator competition named after him, the Wallace Cup, which is held every year and is always a huge success!

They heard a noise coming from the gate.

Mikoli opened her eyes.

Seeing the young Nanfeng and the four Heavenly Kings who entered from behind him, he chuckled self-deprecatingly.

"Suddenly, I felt like I was being challenged as the ultimate demon king."

With that, Mikoli stood up and opened his arms. "Welcome, young challenger. It's been a long time since I've seen a fresh face here. I hope you can bring me some surprises!"

The Four Heavenly Kings behind Nanfeng exchanged glances upon hearing Mikuri's words.

"Did any of you inform Michael to watch his own World Championship match?" Genji asked.

The three shook their heads silently.

“I don’t think we need to call out to him,” Bonnie said.

“But… judging from your expression, you don’t seem to know Nanfeng’s strength,” Furong said, touching her big red flower earring.

"Didn't that loud noise wake up Mikoli?" Genji's expression was strange.

Hua Yue: "Maybe the champion was sleeping too soundly just now?"

"I also hope you can give me some surprises." Nanfeng stepped onto the battlefield. If he hadn't miscalculated, defeating Mikuri might be easier than crushing the other four Heavenly Kings.

Both sides took their positions, the Four Heavenly Kings went to the spectator stands, and the referee took the stage.

"Now beginning the Hoenn region Pokémon Champion Road Challenge, featuring Champion Wallace against Trainer Southwind! Battle rules: All Pokémon battle. The battle ends when all Pokémon on one side are unable to battle!"

"Both trainers, please release your Pokémon."

Nanfeng and Mikuri simultaneously picked up their Poké Balls, gestured to each other, and then threw them into the sky.

The first Pokémon from each side makes their appearance.

The first Pokémon that Mikuri sent out was Poliwag at level 90.

The Poliwag King is a large green frog with a small blue curly hair on its head. As its name suggests, it is the king of the Poliwag family.

It does indeed possess the ability to lead the mosquito coil frog family, as it has the ability to summon "rainy" weather.

As soon as the Mosquito Coil Frog King appeared, the battlefield was shrouded in a thick layer of dark clouds.

The sky darkened, and large raindrops began to fall; a massive downpour was about to begin!

Standing amidst the torrential rain, the Mosquito Coil Frog King resembles an invincible king, poised to rule the world!

The elves that Nanfeng sent out were quite ordinary.

It cannot undergo Mega Evolution, has no exclusive Dynamax form, and no exclusive Z-Move.

It was just an ordinary, legendary elf.

· ······Requesting 0 flowers ········

Zeraora!

"Aura!" The white-haired cat stood in the downpour, gazing at the Mosquito Coil Frog King, lightning crackling at its fingertips. It didn't seem to dislike rainy days.

However, it was a little worried that Poliwag, being a water-type Pokémon, would hate rainy days after this battle.

"Hmm?" Mikoli's gaze sharpened.

The legendary elf Zeraora?

The Four Heavenly Kings watching the battle were also completely bewildered.

Huayue stared blankly at Zeraora, then turned to Furong and asked, "So... the Blaziken I just fought might not even be considered Southwind's main force?"

This time, Furong didn't stab Huayue in the heart again. She was also muttering to herself, "That Gengar... can it be considered a main force?"

Once the referee confirmed both sides were in position, he immediately announced, "The battle begins!"

"Come back, Mosquito Coil Frog King!"

"Zeraora, pursue!"

Mikkelsen and Nanfeng issued instructions simultaneously.

On a rainy day, he was a Water-type Pokémon, while his opponent was an Electric-type. Mikuri really couldn't find a reason not to switch Pokémon.

If you don't need to change your Pokémon, as long as Nanfeng says "Thunder," you don't need to change Pokémon. Just decrement your Pokémon by 1 and send out the next one.

Nanfeng did not choose to let Zeraora use Thunder, but anticipated that Mikuri would switch Pokémon, so he chose to use Pursuit.

Although it is not a Dark-type Pokémon, Zeraora can also use Pursuit, which doubles its power when combined with its high Attack stat.

So, I'm sorry, Wallace, whether you choose to recall the Poké Ball or not, Poliwag is doomed!

As for why the initial move was able to predict the direction of Mikoli's Pokémon...

Unfortunately, as a champion, Mikkelsen has the same weakness as the other four members of the Elite Four.

That's right, the types of spirits they use are too limited.

The evil of the Flower Moon, the ghost of Hibiscus, Bonnie's ice, Genji's dragon, and Mikkuri's water.

So, it's super easy to gain an advantage right from the start!

Nanfeng started by sending out Zeraora, clearly aiming to crush the opponent with another Pokémon!

Is it easier to defeat a Champion with a Zeraora equipped with "Divine Treasure Thunder" than to defeat an Elite Four member with a regular Pokémon? 8.

404. Countermeasures: "The Overlord Catfish King"

The jet-black Dark-type ability, like a persistent affliction, followed the red light of the retracted Pokémon into the Poké Ball.

Mike immediately realized that his Mosquito King was dead.

Looking again at the battlefield, Zeraora...

"Ha," Mikoli chuckled bitterly as he gazed at the torrential rain.

Instead of creating a suitable stage for his other companions to perform, Mosquito King's appearance on the field created a "guillotine".

No matter what kind of spirit you send up, you're bound to get hit by a "thunderbolt".

"You came prepared!" Mikuri murmured softly, taking a Poké Ball from his waist and releasing it.

Suddenly, a large blue catfish crashed to the ground!

With a loud thud, it sounded like an earthquake.

A transparent aura enveloped its plump body, and its "wise" eyes stared blankly ahead at "157," as if it had already seen through the truth of the world. It was on par with "Mopikach," another wise creature in the Pokémon world.

His second Pokémon was a Magikarp, and it was even the dominant Magikarp!

The combination of water and ground elements makes it no longer afraid of electric types; on the contrary, it can counter electric types.

This is his method of countering Electric-type Pokémon.

Without some countermeasures, he wouldn't have been able to maintain his championship position.

"Dynamax!" Facing the legendary Pokémon, Wallace didn't dare to be careless and immediately activated Dynamax. Furthermore, Kingdra's large size and slow speed made dodging impossible, so Dynamaxing would simply enhance its survivability.

The duel only truly began when a giant blue sandbag landed.

"King Catfish, Z-Move, Earthshaking Roar Great Finish!" Miketsu revealed his Z-Boost Bracelet, unleashing a deadly move right from the start!

A tan-colored power shot out from his body, striking the Dynamaxed Garchomp.

The wise catfish king quickly twisted its plump body, then suddenly plunged its head down into the mud.

The next second, the ground of the entire battlefield shattered into an abyss.

At the bottom of the abyss, King Catfish twisted its fat body and charged upwards with all its might. Its whole body was wrapped in the Z Crystal power from its master, Mikuri. What it wanted to do was to fly Zeraora, who had fallen into the abyss, to "outer space"!

However... somewhat unexpectedly for Mikuri and the four Elite Four members, even though the battlefield was shattered into a huge crater, a deep abyss, Zeraora did not fall into it, but instead floated in mid-air.

"Can Zeraora fly?" Hanazuki asked curiously.

"You're asking me? Who am I supposed to ask? This is the first time I've ever seen Zeraora either," Furong said, shrugging and looking at Genji.

“I don’t know anyone who has ever subdued Zeraora,” Genji shook his head slightly.
