Age of Elves: I started flashing with my handheld.

408. Inducted into the Hall of Fame

The four Heavenly Kings applauded the battle between Nanfeng and Mikeli.

That was a fantastic battle!

Although, Mikkel doesn't think so.

"Indeed, I'm more suited to be a Pokémon Coordinator than a Champion," Mikuri smiled bitterly, inwardly apologizing to Daigo.

The title of Hoenn Champion and this white champion's cape were given to him by him. But he failed to keep them.

"Then, the future of the Hoenn region is in your hands! I hope you can lead the Hoenn region forward!" Mikuri took off his champion cape and handed it over with both hands.

Nanfeng took the champion's cape and strode towards the throne.

Behind him, the applause of the four Heavenly Kings ceased, and they watched as Nanfeng ascended the throne.

Sitting on the throne, looking at the four Heavenly Kings and Mikkuri, Nanfeng didn't feel anything special; instead, he was still guessing.

According to the game's storyline, shouldn't we have to fight Dr. Birch's daughter?

I should win the championship before facing her, right?

Judging from the current situation, the other party did not arrive here before me, so... the other party is here to challenge me?

Oh no, I've turned greenish-blue.

However, what Nanfeng feared did not happen.

Dr. Oda's daughter didn't come, but he himself did.

"From the moment I handed you the Poké Ball, I knew you would come here one day," Professor Birch said, looking at Nanfeng with admiration and gesturing, "Come on, let your name be engraved in the Hall of Fame!"

There is another room behind the champion's throne.

In the center of the room is a mechanical table with six slots, just big enough to hold the six Pokémon that Nanfeng brought into the battle.

Nanfeng placed his six Poké Balls one by one.

Blaziken, Gengar, Tyranitar, Zeraora, Greninja, and Gardevoir.

There are many other Pokémon in their top tier, such as Gyarados, Salamence, and even Garchomp, which they haven't brought out yet.

But for now, let these six represent all their spirits.

When Nanfeng saw himself and six elves appear on the screen directly in front of him, he was teleported back to his room.

A photograph is displayed on the handheld console screen.

Nanfeng stands in the center of the image, a slight upturn at the corners of his mouth—a smile of victory. Greninja and Blaziken stand on either side.

Tyranitar stood to the left and behind Southwind, its face contorted in a ferocious grin, but it made a "V" sign with its fingers, clearly trying to laugh. Unfortunately, the more it laughed, the more terrifying it became.

Zeraora crossed his arms, revealing only his profile, leaning against Tyranitar, looking incredibly cool.

Gardevoir stood to the right rear of Southwind, its hands resting on its lower abdomen, a gentle and elegant smile on its face. It was always the spirit standing behind Southwind.

Gengar was the most playful, flying above Southwind's head, its two chubby little hands pulling its already large mouth even wider, making a funny face.

Group photo of the champions.

"It looks pretty good," Nanfeng commented, taking a screenshot.

Then, the screen went black.

When the scene reappears, the protagonist has returned home.

A large number of reward notifications appeared on the screen.

[Complete the special dungeon "Road to Victory" to receive the following rewards:]

【1. Random Legendary Spirit Item】

[2. Hoenn Region Champion's Cloak]

[3. The highest-level exclusive item for a designated spirit]

[4. Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza have begun to appear in their designated locations]

Generous dungeon rewards.

Nanfeng quickly rummaged through his backpack.

The random legendary item gave me a white stone called "The Rock of Beginning".

Primal Rock: Increases the power of Normal-type moves by 100%, increases Strength by 100%, and increases the power of physical moves by 100%.

"Enhance the power of Normal-type moves?" Nanfeng frowned.

Which of the legendary Pokémon are only Normal-type?

After thinking for a long time, Nanfeng could only think of two: one was the mythical beast "Meloeta", and the other was Regigigas, known as the "Divine Pillar King".

The Primordial Rock must have originated from Regigigas.

The power-enhancing effect does indeed match the terrifying legend of this man who dragged the continent to create the "Washing Green" region.

As for who owns this item, Nanfeng thinks that apart from Slaking, there probably isn't any other Pokémon that would be suitable for it.

Once I raise Slaking to the same level as Greninja and other main Pokémon, and with my help, it can take over the Rock of Beginning and maybe even take on legendary Pokémon of the same level.

0 ···Requesting flowers 0 ······

Of course, the legendary spirits of the same level refer to low-level gods like Emperor Yan.

Hoenn Champion Cloak

Equipping this item will increase the attack power of all Pokémon's moves by 10% when battling in the Hoenn region. For non-evil organizations, reputation with them will automatically rise to "Revered". (You can obtain the Champion Quest from the Hoenn Pokémon League in Lilycove City.)

Nanfeng promptly equipped the item to his character; it was the first time he had ever seen a character equipped with items.

In the handheld console, the doll-like character immediately had a white cape behind him.

The third reward is the highest-level exclusive item for a designated spirit.

After thinking for a while, Nanfeng decided to give the opportunity to Greninja.

. .... ....

It has absorbed almost all the treasure-level items, but it still hasn't found any legendary items for spirits or exclusive items.

Instead of waiting to grind through the dungeons once a month, it's better to just get Greninja directly.

The designated Pokémon is "Greninja".

[Obtain the item "Thousand Faces (★★★)"]

Instantly, a black and white mask fell into Nanfeng's hands.

Thousand Faces (★★★): Increases the power of Water-type moves by 50%, increases the effectiveness of moves "Shadow Clone" and "Substitute" by 100%, and allows the user to temporarily change their type to the move they are using when using any move. (Froakie, Froakie)

Greninja is exclusive to Greninja; it will not work when other Pokémon are held in the same Pokémon.

Increased power of water-type moves is considered a basic attribute.

The enhanced effectiveness of Shadow Clone and Substitute is due to Greninja's "ninja" designation. This has increased my confidence in combining Shadow Clone and Substitute techniques.

As for the last point, "When using any move, you can choose to temporarily change your own attribute to that move."

When Nanfeng first saw it, it looked familiar, but after thinking about it carefully...

Isn't that Greninja's hidden ability "Alter"?

To be precise, this is even more useful than "changeable".

Greninja's ability to change its attributes always changes after it uses a move, but when it carries "Thousand Faces," it can choose whether or not to change its attributes.

409. Second Playthrough

[4. Kyogre, Groudon, and Rayquaza begin to appear at designated locations.]

Nanfeng stared at the message and pondered for a long time.

This is equivalent to entering the second playthrough of the game.

Now that we've entered the second playthrough, we can go and catch the legendary Pokémon.

Nanfeng always felt that it was because of the dungeon mode that he couldn't use Master Balls to catch legendary Pokémon.

The designated location where the mythical beasts are.

The location varies in different versions.

I was playing Emerald and I remember that Kyogre was in the "Sea Cave," but the Sea Cave isn't fixed. It appears randomly on routes 105, 125, 127, and 129. You have to go to the Weather Institute and ask the director about the weather to find out where the Sea Cave will appear.

Groudon is located in the "Land Cave", just like Kyogre's "Sea Cave" in "147".

As for Rayquaza, barring any unforeseen circumstances, it should be back asleep at Sky Pillar now. That's the place where you had to wake it up when the story required it.

However, he was clearly not playing the regular Emerald version, and Nanfeng was unsure of the locations of the three top players.

"Let's just grab them regardless of whether we can throw a Master Ball or not. It'll be good to find out where they are first," Nanfeng decided.

Go downstairs from your room.

My mother and father are both thousands of miles away.

[Chiri: I heard you became the champion of the Hoenn region. You truly are my son.]

Qianli came all the way to give the protagonist a big hug.

[Qianli: Now that you've become the champion, take on the responsibilities of a champion. Remember to check out the Pokémon League; there are many things only you, the champion, can solve.]

[Chiri: By the way, do you know Mr. Ashida? He recently built a Battle Frontier in Hoenn. You can check it out if you're interested.]

[Item Obtained: Battle Frontier Ticket]

After saying that, Qianli turned and left.

With the ticket in hand, the battle zone was now open to me.

Nanfeng waited a while longer, but her mother seemed to have nothing to say to her.

"Is there a scene in the second playthrough where I have to choose between Latios and Latios?" Nanfeng frowned, controlling the protagonist to talk to his mother and investigate the television.

In the game, the mother will make you watch TV and then ask you questions to determine whether the Pokémon appearing in the Hoenn region is Latias or Latios.

Talking to my mother and investigating television all yielded results that were irrelevant.

Clearly, the game didn't give him another chance to catch a "Guardian of the Water City".

It's just a guardian deity of the Water City. I already have one, so I don't need another one.

After leaving the house, Professor Birch was also waiting for Nanfeng. He took Nanfeng to the research institute to upgrade the Pokédex.

Now, Nanfeng's Pokédex is a global Pokédex.

That's right, it's the Global Pokédex. Every Pokémon from every region Nanfeng has visited is recorded in the Pokédex. The records for Legendary Pokémon are not detailed, except for Zeraora and Latias, which Nanfeng has caught. The Legendary Pokémon that haven't been caught are numbered as shadows, to be added to the Pokédex once Nanfeng catches them in the future.

[Dr. Birch: I hope you can actually complete this global encyclopedia. This is my lifelong dream. Please do it!]

Doctor, you make it sound so simple, but I'm counting on you.

To complete this global Pokédex, I need to catch every single one of the legendary Pokémon.

Are you kidding me?

Nanfeng silently accepted the illustration and left the research institute.

Use the Tyrant Salamander to fly to Lilycove City, then head to the Weather Institute.

That's the place where I once defeated the Water Team and obtained a floating bubble.

I went up to the second floor and asked the director of the weather research institute.

To Nanfeng's surprise, he didn't tell him about any changes in the weather in the Hoenn region, only giving mechanical and meaningless answers.

"So, the location of Groudon and Kyogre is different from the game I played in my previous life, which is why I can't determine their location from the Weather Institute now."

"Or is it that it's just not there now, and I can find out by talking to the director of the Weather Institute later?"

Nanfeng frowned.

It seems we'll have to put the search for Groudon and Kyogre on hold for now.
