Age of Elves: I started flashing with my handheld.

It was as if a demon god was surveying the earth, examining the weak ants he was about to destroy with a flick of his wrist.

454, Champion Progress (7/10)

"What is that?" someone asked tremblingly.

"No...I don't know," someone answered, trembling.

A terrifying aura pressed down on everyone's hearts like a boulder. Their fear stemmed from the demon god standing on the battlefield.

Nanfeng crossed her arms and smiled slightly.

This is Gengar's Demon Shadow, a demon that constantly exudes terrifying power. Compared to Senior Dong Yan's Great General, my Gengar's Demon Shadow truly deserves the title of Demon Shadow.

It has a human-like appearance, with wings on its back, and cold, disdainful eyes that survey the world. Behind it, there are black beads that surround it.

It's hard to imagine what Gengar's understanding of fear is, that it would use its ghost attribute and the power of fear to create such a demonic shadow.

Even the monstrous force rushing forward couldn't help but stop, looking up at "197".

What is this?

Glenn, the trainer with superhuman strength, also wanted to ask.

Unable to know for sure, Glenn and Might only knew that this would be an extremely terrifying opponent.

The monstrous strength stood still, neither shrinking back nor showing fear, but as an enemy of the demon god, its steel-like body began to tremble involuntarily.

Glenn quickly noticed his old partner's condition and quickly pulled out a giant wristband from his pocket and fastened it to his arm.

Without hesitation, the command was given: "Dynamax!"

Retract the power and then unleash it with the power of Dynamax.

A monstrous figure with a towering body that seemed to reach into the clouds appeared, its fists resembling the pure form of molten lava.

Dynamaxing significantly boosted Machamp's combat prowess, finally allowing it to stop trembling when facing Demon Shadow.

"He also hid Dynamax?" Nanfeng was surprised. He hadn't seen Glenn wearing the Dynamax Band and thought he wouldn't be able to.

I didn't expect that he had been hiding something.

But who can always keep a secret?

Nanfeng silently took out a purple crystal from his pocket and pressed it onto the Z-enhanced bracelet.

"Z move, Temptation of Endless Dark Night!"

Nanfeng originally wanted to use Dynamax as well, but Gengar had already activated Shadow Dance, and recalling and releasing it would be too troublesome, so she simply used a Z-Move to KO the opponent.

Mega Gengar raised its hand and condensed a small, dark purple energy ball, resembling a shadow ball.

Pointing downwards, the energy ball fell into the newly opened Dark Spirit Battlefield.

In the blink of an eye, the Dark Spirit Battlefield erupted like boiling water, with the dark purple earth churning.

Maximal felt its feet sink into a dark purple mud pit.

"Bang bang bang!!" Countless arms reached out from the "mud pit," grabbing its ankles, its thighs, its waist, its shoulders, and its head, trying to drag it deeper into the mud pit.

"Mighty Strength, use Gigantamax Critical Strike!" Glenn calmly gave the command and immediately unleashed his ultimate move.

Max Strength began to struggle frantically, trying to gather all its strength to unleash a "Gigantamax Critical Strike" to shatter all the demon hands. But no matter how hard it tried, the endless demon hands were like a real quagmire; the faster it struggled, the faster it fell.

Glenn's eyelids twitched uncontrollably as he watched, and he couldn't help but exclaim in his heart: What an exaggeratedly powerful move!

He quickly took out a Poké Ball.

"Dragonite, use Hurricane!"

Since Max Strength cannot break free on its own, the trainer must use other Pokémon to help it escape.

But just as Dragonite jumped out of its Poké Ball, before its tiny wings could even stir up a storm, a jet-black and dazzling beam of light pierced through its body, and the powerful impact slammed it directly into the wall of the battlefield.

The large body slowly slid down the wall.

The main Pokémon, Dynamax Machamp, was not defeated yet, but Dragonite, which was used as a support Pokémon, was instantly defeated!

Glenn followed the dark light back and saw a finger.

It was that demon god who instantly killed Dragonite with a beam of light emitted from a single finger.

Therefore, that demon god wasn't just for show; it truly possessed its own fighting power!

Glenn's idea of ​​releasing a second Pokémon to help Maximus was immediately abandoned. The demon showed no sign of lowering its finger, as if to say, "Even if you send out another Pokémon, I'll immediately 'point' it to death."

Thus, Glenn was caught in a dilemma, and the Dynamax was powerless to resist.

Until the immense strength sank into the mud, a massive explosion occurred.

The violent power instantly shattered even the Dark Spirit Battlefield, with explosions resounding everywhere...

Within the thick black fog, the battlefield of the Ironclad Alliance was restored to its original state, and even the seemingly hard but actually extremely fragile ground did not show any trace of cracking.

Many people were stunned and somewhat dazed.

The battle hasn't even started yet?

No, the battle is over.

On the flat ground, Dynamax had de-Dynamaxed and lay helplessly on the ground, its eyes swirling with vortexes, having lost its ability to battle.

Ghost-type is not super effective against Fighting-type, but in the face of an absolute disparity, no matter how strong Machamp's physique is, it will only face certain death.

Upon seeing the final result, the entire battlefield of the Ironclad Alliance came to a standstill.

A thunderous applause immediately erupted.

"Holy crap, he's dead! The former champion was defeated in one move!"

"Glenn and Southwind are not even in the same league!"

"Waaaaah~~ My Mr. Glenn, your loss was so devastating..."

Amid the commotion, the referee, who was also the host, finally realized what was happening and quickly made an announcement.

"Since the superhuman strength has lost its ability to fight, the final victor is the challenger, Nanfeng!"

"Let us cheer for the new king's ascension to the throne!"

The cheers and applause from the crowd grew even louder.

It must be said that the Ironclad region is in no way inferior to the Galar region in terms of enthusiasm for battle.

Glenn opened his mouth slightly; he felt a sense of suffocation...

He hadn't felt defeat in a long time. Looking at his opponent, who was about the same age as his son but had utterly crushed him...

"Perhaps... I should go out and see the wider world."

Nanfeng stood on the battlefield accepting everyone's applause, but his mind was no longer on the battle; it was on the sudden notification that appeared in front of him.

[Hint: Currently, I am proficient at defeating the champion (7/10)]

[Note: Once you have defeated 10 champions, the Pokémon Tournament will be automatically unlocked. All Gym Leaders, Elite Four Trainers, and Champion Trainers who have been defeated will appear strengthened in the Pokémon Tournament!]

455. Shocking Change: Dark Mewtwo!

Nanfeng stared blankly at the prompt in front of him for a long time.

The Pokémon Tournament will begin once you defeat 10 champions.

In the past, every time he battled a Gym Leader, the last Gym Leader would say that they looked forward to battling him again in the Pokémon Tournament.

At that time, he was wondering how to participate in the Pokémon Tournament, never expecting that it would be started by defeating the champion.

After all, in the tournament, the Gym Leaders, Elite Four Members, and Champions that were previously defeated will be boosted.

That makes sense. I've been defeating them for so long, they should have grown by now.

However, he has only defeated seven champions so far, and is still three short. The seven champions he has defeated are Wallace from the Hoenn League, Cynthia from the Sinnoh League, Alder from the Unova League, Karene from the Kalos League, and Leon from the Galar region.

And the crossing of the City Alliance and the Indigo League.

Because the Kanto and Johto regions are closely connected, and the two 03 regions share a League facility, the Elite Four and Champion of the Johto League and the Indigo League are also shared.

The six champions mentioned above, plus Glenn, the Iron League champion I just defeated, make a total of seven. Unfortunately, in the game, I don't have the main storyline in the Alola region, so I didn't form a league or become a champion.

"Where can we find the remaining three champions?"

Nanfeng immediately thought of two.

Steven, the former champion of the Hoenn region, and Red, the champion of Mt. Silver. Both of them are former champions; it's unclear whether defeating them counts towards the number of champions in the quest.

In addition to finding a champion

Other regions...

Does Yuuji, the top trainer of the Orange Islands, count?

There's still no progress in the Padiya region itself.

However, there are several champions who are easily forgotten.

A champion for several hours... turquoise. Since there is crimson, then there can also be turquoise.

Professor Oak, the champion of the ancient era and the first Pokémon Tournament of the Indigo League.

Also from ancient times, the undefeated legend was "Mashid," the champion of the Galar region and Nanfeng's teacher.

"I'll challenge Steven first when I have time. If it counts, then I'll consider going to Professor Oak or Blue/Red." Nanfeng made his decision after thinking it over. Of all the champions, Steven was one of the ones he could more easily reach.

After defeating the champion of the Ironclad region, I will exchange the points I have accumulated for rewards, and then I can say that I have finished exploring this place.

Just as Nanfeng was about to step down amidst applause after recalling Gengar, the sky above the battlefield suddenly went dark.

A deep, dark aura descended from the sky, filling the entire stage of the Ironclad Alliance.

In an instant, the whole world seemed to stand still. The referees and the audience were like a movie that had been paused, frozen in that moment forever.

Only Nanfeng himself was still conscious and able to perceive this.

"What happened?" Nanfeng frowned, a sense of unease rising in his heart.

Gardevoir had already appeared in front of Nanfeng ahead of him and immediately underwent Mega Evolution, watching the scene ahead warily.

On the battlefield not far away, a black hole resembling a teleportation portal appeared.

A similarly dark figure stepped out, most notably the golden resonance stone embedded in its left shoulder.

And above its head is a name and a rank.

Mewtwo Level 100

“Dark Mewtwo…” Nanfeng’s lips trembled slightly.

Indeed, the Pokémon before us is Mewtwo, but unlike ordinary Mewtwo, its entire body is jet black, and a golden Resonance Stone is deeply embedded in its shoulder, all of which prove its unique identity.

If Nanfeng had never played Pokémon Tekken, he might have mistaken it for a shiny Mewtwo, but... having played Pokémon Tekken, Nanfeng knew exactly who this guy was.

The final boss of the Pokémon Tekken series, Mewtwo, who was affected by the Dark Resonance Stone.

It possesses fighting power surpassing that of an ordinary Mewtwo! It is the ultimate fighting machine!

But... how did Dark Mewtwo suddenly appear here?

Could it be because of... a destructive factor?

Destructive Factor: When held, increases Attack and Special Attack by 50%, increases Psychic-type attack power by 50%, and grants all moves a "Pierce" effect. Pokémon level 70 and below have a 50% chance of becoming confused after each move they use while holding this ability.

After use, Attack and Special Attack are increased by 100%, Psychic-type moves are increased by 100%, and all moves have a "Destruction" effect. Pokémon below level 100 have a 100% chance of being inflicted with a Confusion status for 256 days after each use of this move.

(Note: A creature that carries or uses this item will attract the attention of a certain spirit.)

The Pokémon mentioned in the notes on the Destruction Factor is most likely Mewtwo.

So...Dark Mewtwo came to cause me trouble?

Nanfeng immediately became alert.

"Human! You are the strongest I have ever seen in this region!" Mewtwo's voice suddenly rang in Nanfeng's mind.

"I have something I'd like to ask you!"

"Say it," Nanfeng said loudly.
