The Poké Ball that Lance threw popped open halfway.
Accompanying the white light was a Dragon Pokémon that was large, even a bit bloated, but with wings on its back that were adorably small, even laughable.

[What's going on? Didn't Lance's Dragonite revert back to a Dratini?]
[Could it be that he trained it back? No way, that's too fast, right?]

[No, no, this Dragonite feels a bit small]
[Not small at all, it's almost three meters... no, wait, it is a bit small]
When they saw that Lance was sending out a Dragonite as his vanguard, the whole world was shocked.
Because, as everyone knows, Lance's Dragonite was turned back into a Dratini by the Rocket Team leader using some unknown method during the Indigo Plateau Conference last month.
For it to have turned back in just one month, who wouldn't be surprised?
Even Giovanni, who was on his way to Sinnoh, was taken aback.
It's impossible to train a Dratini into a Dragonite in a month, or was Aptx4869 cracked?
But soon, Giovanni noticed the key point.
Not just Giovanni, many sharp-eyed viewers and Lance's fans also noticed.
That is, the Dragonite that Lance brought out was a bit small.
No, actually, compared to those average Dragonite with a height of meters, this Dragonite, which is over meters, is obviously considered well-trained.
But compared to Lance's former ace Dragonite, which was over meters tall, it still seemed petite.
"Is that Mr. Lance's evolved Dragonair?"
In the men's locker room, Hassel, the Dragon-type specialist and top of the Paldea Elite Four, speculated.
A single sentence that hit the nail on the head.
The others nodded in agreement with this idea.
Dendra, sitting on the VIP platform, had a somewhat complicated expression.
Just as Hassel had guessed.
This Dragonite was one of Lance's former two support Dragonair that had evolved.
After evolving, it would naturally have stronger power.
In one breath, it advanced from the previous peak Elite Four level to the Champion level.
But for a support, how strong the attack power is doesn't matter.
But Lance had no choice.
At least it's faster than starting from scratch with his initial partner, right?
"If only he could capture the Latias and Latios duo."
Dendra muttered in his heart.
Previously, when they went to Alto Mare, after witnessing "Sonia" kiss Su Sheng, they also successfully met the Latias and Latios, who were the guardians of Alto Mare.
However, unfortunately, both Latios and Latias expressed their unwillingness to leave Alto Mare.
If it were Team Shadow or other criminal organizations, they would have directly taken action and captured them.
But neither Dendra nor Lance, who desperately needed to replenish his combat power.
Did not choose to force the Latias and Latios.
But with the Alola Friendship Competition just around the corner.
If Lance didn't want to lose face in front of the whole world, he had to replenish a wave of combat power.
Under such circumstances, his two Dragonair took the initiative to propose - evolving into Dragonite!
Evolution would naturally give them stronger power, and what's more, these two Dragonair had already reached the level where they could evolve, but they had always suppressed their power and prevented themselves from evolving.
But once they evolve, they will lose the support advantages they had cultivated before, as well as the unique weather control ability. (At least according to the Pokédex, Dragonair has a unique advantage in controlling the weather)
……
……
"Switching from a support to an attacker? Let me see how far the gap is compared to that Dragonite that turned into a Dratini."
Elesa also guessed the reason, smiled slightly, and waved her hand to give the order, "Power Gem!"
Sparkling light spots floated around the Diancie's body, and in two seconds, they expanded into countless fist-sized gems and shot towards the Dragonite.
The few special-type attacks among the Rock-type moves, Power Gem!
Although it was promoted from the Elite Four to the Champion level through evolution.
But before that, this Dragonite had always been a support in Lance's team.
Now that it suddenly starts outputting damage, can it do well?
"You will see it, Aqua Tail!"
Lance's eyes hardened, and he shouted angrily.
His ace Dragonite being turned into a Dratini is definitely a sore spot that Lance doesn't want to mention.
Perfect, let's use that Rocket Team leader as a whetstone first!
The Dragonite's tail, like a heavy sword, was wrapped in a spiral of water, and at the last moment when countless gems flew over and were about to hit it, it suddenly turned around and甩甩.
The strong wind and flowing water from the dragon's tail set off a small tsunami, blocking all the splashing gems outside.
Puff! Puff! Puff!
But even so, there were still a few gems that broke through the water waves and hit the Dragonite's shoulders, abdomen and other parts.
After all, Diancie is Elesa's ace, and its attack power is also outstanding.
Fortunately, the Aqua Tail just now offset a lot of attacks.
Although the remaining Power Gems hit, the Dragonite still stood tall in the sky, unmoving as a mountain.
"Dragon Pulse!"
Seeing this, Lance flicked his cape and gave the order again.
The Dragonite suddenly raised its head, and then shook its head and opened its mouth.
The deep purple dragon breath flame fell powerfully.
"Dazzling Gleam!"
Under Elesa's command, Diancie greatly stretched out its petals, like an umbrella.
In the next instant, a dazzling light pink halo rushed out.
The Dragon Pulse was easily scattered the moment it hit, and continued to pounce on the Dragonite in the sky.
"Extreme Speed!"
Lance shouted in a deep voice.
The large Dragonite was wrapped in a strong wind, bursting out with the terrifying speed that is truly called "able to circle the planet in 16 hours", and rushed to a super high altitude that the audience could not see even if they looked up.
Making the light of Dazzling Gleam unable to reach it.
"Oh, I heard that the Indigo League's Dragon Master's fighting style is to crush opponents with strength, but I didn't expect that he would have to use Extreme Speed to escape now."
Elesa looked up at the Dragonite, which was almost submerged in the clouds and only had the size of a sesame seed, and then looked down at Lance on the opposite command platform, and said with a smile:
"Are you okay? Your condition makes me worried about whether you have the ability to take over Agatha's champion class."
If it was Lance's ace Dragonite, it could have used Extreme Speed to break through Diancie's Dazzling Gleam.
Before the Dazzling Gleam penetrated the barrier of Extreme Speed's strong wind, Lance was confident that his ace Dragonite could knock that damn Cacturne away first.
However, his Dragonite No. 2, which had just evolved from Dragonair not long ago, did not have such power.
Therefore, he could only use Extreme Speed to dodge.
"Wow-"
Elesa's words not only caused a stir on the scene, but also in the live broadcast room.
Thinking about it carefully, that's really the case.
It was really the first time that Lance asked Dragonite to use Extreme Speed to dodge instead of attack.
"Shut up!"
Lance said with a dark face.
Elesa's statement is actually a fallacy, and it can even be said to be a mixed-up logic.
Because whether it is crushing head-on or winning with skill, it is a kind of tactic.
No one is more advanced than anyone else.
Even the latter is more technical.
But the problem is that the masses don't think so.
They think that you, Lance, have become weaker.
Moreover, this is indeed the case.
"Lance, don't lose your composure."
Dendra, sitting on the second floor, clenched his fists secretly.
"Extreme Speed! Aqua Tail!"
Lance no longer held back and used his full strength.
The Dragonite, which was originally in the clouds, rushed to Diancie almost in an instant, and the big tail wrapped in water swept across.
"Diamond Storm."
Elesa did not hesitate and asked Diancie to use its exclusive move.
The Diancie, which was about to be hit by Aqua Tail, spun frantically like a top.
In the blink of an eye, Aqua Tail hit.
In terms of strength, Dragonite is still better, knocking Diancie away.
And the power of Diamond Storm is not as good as Aqua Tail.
But, at the moment when the two moves collided.
The spinning Diancie's body splashed with poison liquid and shot towards Dragonite.
It can also release poison liquid during the rotation!
"Extreme Speed!"
Lance still wanted to use Extreme Speed to avoid it.
Indeed, using Extreme Speed as an evasive skill is completely opposite to his previous tactics, and it can even be said to be a bit embarrassing.
But compared to avoiding embarrassment, losing is even more embarrassing, right?
He still knows this.
"Rock Tomb!"
However, the Diancie that was knocked away still had the strength to spare.
Releasing its ultimate move while flying out.
Several soccer-sized rocks were generated from the top of Dragonite's head and fell like high-altitude projectiles.
The Dragonite, which had just given Diancie a slap, did not have time to use Extreme Speed, so it could only quickly raise its hand to block the top of its head to avoid being attacked in a vital position.
Boom! Boom! Boom!
The rocks fell continuously.
Although it was not enough to make Dragonite lose its ability to fight, it also made it fall to the ground from mid-air.
And at the moment when Dragonite landed.
The poisonous spikes buried in the ground seemed to be triggered by a mechanism, suddenly pierced out and hit Dragonite's leg.
Dragonite staggered, and a purple color clearly appeared on its face.
Poisoned!
The Diancie that was knocked away floated up again after sliding a distance on the ground.
"Not as strong as I thought, Champion Lance."
Elesa said lightly.
"Raise a Sandstorm!"
Elesa chose to take advantage of your illness to kill you.
Directly rewriting the weather, in the Sandstorm environment, the Rock-type Diancie's defense is strengthened, and it can also weaken Lance's Dragonite's physical strength along with the poison.
Lance's expression became more and more ugly.
At this time, a burst of angry scolding suddenly came from the VIP stand where the alliance presidents were sitting on the second floor.
"Lance, you waste, be serious!"
"Hurry up and find a way to reverse the disadvantage! Don't be eliminated in the first round!"
Hu Tao in the commentary room said with emotion:
"It's really unexpected that President Rose actually cheered for Mr. Lance, it seems that President Rose is not as hostile to Kanto as rumored..."
Even if he lost his ace Dragonite, Lance's strength was still slightly better than Elesa's.
After Dragonite lost its ability to fight, Lance changed his strategy in time and sent out two old partners, Blue Gyarados and Aerodactyl.
I have to say that the advantage of Flying-type Pokémon not being affected by Toxic Spikes is reflected at this time.
In the end, Lance narrowly defeated Elesa.
It also made Rose on the second-floor stand relieved.
That afternoon, major newspapers published headlines such as "Rose cheered for Lance on the spot, breaking the rumors of discord".
The Alola Friendship Competition continued.
Flint and Lucian's battle proved that their strength was indeed on par.
Lucian's Bronzong and Flint's Infernape's final attacks hit their opponents at the same time.
After Infernape fell, Bronzong also wailed and fell to the ground after about five seconds.
Lucian advanced with a slight advantage.
Although the level of battle was slightly inferior to the battles between the previous champions, the evenly matched battle still caused bursts of cheers from the audience.
On the other side, a special plane with the Alola League LOGO successfully arrived in the Kalos region.
"Huh? Sheng, aren't we going to see Lumiose City?"
Feeling the plane landing, Itsuki looked out and did not see the Prism Tower, a landmark building in the Kalos region, so he knew that this was not Lumiose City, the capital of the Kalos region.
"When did you get the illusion that we were going to Lumiose City?"
Su Sheng raised his eyebrows.
Hearing Su Sheng say this, Lihua couldn't help but be a little curious, "Didn't that flat-chested... oh no, Diantha say that the Lysandre Labs and Professor Sycamore are studying this stone? Since you are also going to study this, Sheng, I thought you would go to Lumiose City to consult them."
Lihua rarely agreed with Itsuki's opinion.
Last night, Su Sheng also chatted with Diantha about the Key Stone.
Knowing that this stone was discovered by the research department of Lysandre Labs, and the chief representative of the group, Lysandre, and the Pokémon Professor of the Kalos League, Sycamore, are studying it.
And whether it is the headquarters of Lysandre Labs or Professor Sycamore's research student, they are all located in Lumiose City.
Lihua and Itsuki naturally thought that Su Sheng would go there.
"No need for such trouble, let's go directly to the inventor."
Su Sheng got up and walked off the plane.
Lihua: "Inventor?"
Itsuki: "Huh? What do you mean?"
When coming out of the inspection gate, Su Sheng briefly popularized the origin of Mega Evolution to the two of them.
There are currently two theories about the origin of Mega Evolution.
One is the Kalos theory, which is said that 3000 years ago, there was a thing called "Ultimate Weapon", and its power shone on the entire Kalos, and some evolution stones, such as Water Stone and Fire Stone, had to be shone on before they mutated and became Mega Evolution Stones.
The second is the Hoenn theory, which is said that thousands of years ago, a huge meteorite crossed the universe and hit the Hoenn region, and formed Sootopolis City, and that meteorite itself was a super giant Mega Evolution Stone, and countless fragments were scattered in Hoenn after the impact.
"But Sheng, what does this have to do with the inventor you mentioned?"
Lihua asked again as she walked out of the airport hall.
"Xerneas and Yveltal, have you heard of these two Pokémon?"
Su Sheng asked back.
Lihua nodded, "Well, the two legendary Pokémon of Kalos."
These two, like the sea and land twin gods of Hoenn and the black and white twin dragons of Unova, have a relationship of loving and killing each other. Anyone who consults the history of Kalos knows that they have to fight every few decades or hundreds of years.
Therefore, their sense of existence is quite high.
“The power emitted by the ultimate weapon 3000 years ago mutated some Evolution Stones in the Kalos region into Mega Stones, but more of the power transformed into two Pokémon…”
Before Su Sheng could finish, Itsuki exclaimed, “Oh! That must be Xerneas and Yveltal!”
“Keep it down!”
Ayame couldn't help but kick Itsuki.
“So, these two legends possess the power to create Mega Evolution Stones?”
Ayame asked again.
“I don’t know about Yveltal, but Xerneas definitely does,”
Su Sheng asserted.
After all, Diancie, Xerneas's little follower, needs the big sister's power to awaken Mega Evolution.
But strangely, Xerneas clearly possesses the power to create Mega Evolution Stones, or rather, to help other Pokémon awaken Mega Evolution.
Yet, she herself cannot Mega Evolve.
This is even more awkward.
However, Su Sheng personally believes that these two legends had too few appearances in the original story and didn't have time to use it.
“Will that divine beast called 'Xerneas' help us?”
Itsuki thought of a question.
“I'm ninety percent sure,”
Su Sheng said confidently.
If Ho-Oh's personality is just that of a nice old man, then Xerneas is a saint.
She's just like the Nine-Colored Deer from Chinese fairy tales in his previous life, with an excessively good temper.
“Then is Xerneas currently in Desert City?”
Ayame pointed to the super-large city in front of them, whose prosperity was not inferior to Lumiose City.
Although the name is “Desert City,” it is actually full of skyscrapers and is the second-largest city in the Kalos region after Lumiose City.
“Not exactly, but the person who can help us find Xerneas is here.”
Su Sheng was stunned by the scene in the movie where the two Hoopa kept summoning legends.
That battle of Ragnarok also contributed many classic scenes such as the God of Fruit, Wobbuffet, and the Space God's disgrace.
But under the backdrop of a certain world-famous painting, they all paled in comparison.
……
……
On the other side, the final match of the Alola Friendship Competition had also ended.
Cynthia's team's second-in-command, Lucario, defeated Mightyena, Shiftry, and Cacturne, three of Hoenn Elite Four Sidney's Dark-type Pokémon, in a one-versus-three victory.
Showcasing the strength of the Sinnoh Valkyrie to the world.
“So beautiful! Miss Cynthia!!”
“So majestic! So handsome and beautiful!”
“Sister, please give me your phone number!!”
Compared to Diantha, who only received cheers from male viewers when she won.
When Cynthia won, the female audience at the scene felt even more exaggerated than the male audience, shouting and expressing their excitement.
It was dusk, and the friendship match temporarily came to an end.
The audience left Manalo Stadium one after another, heading to the four islands of Alola to enjoy the local cuisine, beaches, and even enthusiastic girls…
Cynthia and a few good friends, Diantha, Caitlin, as well as Elesa and Skyla from Unova, formed a team and came to the Hau'oli City shopping plaza on Melemele Island.
“Your performance today was amazing, Miss Cynthia, you are the only contestant who achieved a one-versus-three victory!”
Caitlin looked at Cynthia with adoring eyes, her gaze resembling Momo Hinamori's gaze towards Aizen, “You will definitely win this competition!”
Although strictly speaking, this is just a friendship match, it is the first time since the establishment of the league that so many experts from various regions have been gathered together, which has also attracted the attention of people all over the world.
If one can achieve victory in this competition, they will surely become famous and establish themselves in one fell swoop, just like Su Sheng during the Indigo Plateau Conference.
“I always feel that Caitlin's gaze towards Miss Cynthia is not right, it feels a bit like… um…”
Elesa whispered with a laugh.
Shauntal nodded, “It's just like looking at someone she has a crush on.”
Diantha chuckled, “After all, Cynthia has been taking Caitlin by her side for more than a year to help her control her psychic powers, so Miss Caitlin has inevitably developed some dependence on Cynthia.”
But to be honest, she is a little curious about how Caitlin will react when Cynthia finds a partner in the future.
Cynthia chuckled and shook her head, indicating that she was still far from it.
This level is simply unattainable for that man.
A figure appeared in Cynthia's mind.
“Um… excuse me for interrupting your pleasant shopping trip, but please allow me to take up some of your time?”
Just then, a lazy voice attracted the attention of a group of beautiful trainers.
The Kalos trio without MEGA is quite funny, but it is estimated that the new work will most likely add it, let's see if Xerneas is Fairy + Ground and takes off
