"What did you say?!"
The moment Barza said this, Lihua immediately flared up, taking a step forward and releasing a murderous aura as she shouted.
Barza instinctively shivered.
Although he possessed the special power granted by Arceus, like his great-grandfather who had unsealed Hoopa,
the two were not on the same level at all, the difference being comparable to the Eternal Mangekyou and a single tomoe Sharingan.
Being shouted at by Lihua, who had truly experienced life-and-death battles, he was immediately so frightened that he staggered and almost fell.
Yishu's expression wasn't good either.
He thought, if Asheng wanted that gluttonous mythical beast, would he need to be so roundabout?
He would just directly snatch it.
"Mery, what's wrong? Everyone seems unhappy..."
Hoopa was also frightened by the atmosphere, timidly floating up and shrinking behind Mery to ask.
"It's okay, it's okay..."
Mery held Hoopa in her arms, comforting him softly, and glared fiercely at Barza.
He was a hero who had just saved the alliance, what nonsense was he spouting?!
Barza also realized that what he had just said was indeed a bit rude, and said awkwardly, "Sorry, Doctor, I..."
"No need to apologize to me, I just want to tell you that I have already reminded you."
Su Sheng said calmly.
After all, no matter who it was, having such a treasure like Hoopa would not easily let it go.
It was normal for Barza to suspect him of having ulterior motives after he said such a thing.
Anyway, he had already reminded him, whether he listened was his own business.
Some readers might ask why he didn't directly tell the brother and sister about the true colors of Fladali and Pachira.
Firstly, Su Sheng had no evidence. It should be known that one of them was a leading tycoon and the next alliance chairman in the Kalos region, and the other was a member of the Elite Four and the number one news anchor on television.
If you said they were criminal masterminds without evidence... even with Su Sheng's current reputation, Officer Jenny would probably suspect that he had injured his brain in the previous battle.
Secondly, Su Sheng expressed that he wasn't some bizarre saint who could forgive you even if you killed his parents. He didn't cause the trouble; it was caused by this little thing, Hoopa, messing around and being discovered by Fladali. He was already being benevolent by reminding him, what else did he want?
"Mery, could you please have Hoopa summon Xerneas?"
Su Sheng turned his gaze to Mery, who was holding Hoopa.
"Oh, okay."
Mery nodded hurriedly.
Her brother's words were too much just now, and she also wanted to ease the awkward atmosphere.
Noticing Mery's gaze, Hoopa puffed out his slightly bulging belly and floated up, taking off a golden ring hanging on his right horn and throwing it up.
"Hoopa hoopa ~"
Hoopa rotated one hand as if casting a spell, and the golden ring thrown up stopped in mid-air and kept enlarging, with the central space showing a blue, chaotic blur.
"Could it be... really possible..."
Pachira swallowed secretly.
Fladali's eyes were also fixed on the center of the ring.
If he could really summon legends at will, then it would be too terrifying.
"Come out!"
Suddenly, Hoopa shouted.
The next second, something was about to burst out from inside.
Was it coming?
The God of Eternity!?
Thud!
What fell into everyone's eyes was an unremarkable tree with branches at the top forking to both sides, forming an "X" shape with the roots at the bottom.
The scene was silent.
Yishu made a Donnie Yen gesture and pointed at the giant tree, "Asheng, this... is the God of Eternity?"
Su Sheng quickly recovered and explained:
"Legend has it that every time the God of Destruction, Yveltal, makes a big disturbance, the God of Eternity, Xerneas, will clean up the mess, giving eternal life to those humans and Pokémon and nature whose lives have been taken by Yveltal. After losing too much eternal power, Xerneas will transform into a 'tree' form and fall into a deep sleep, waiting to wake up again after the power recovers..."
It must be said that the X god has a really good temper.
For 3000 years, he has been cleaning up Yveltal's messes.
If it were replaced by someone with a more explosive temper, or a more normal one, they would have found a way to kill Yveltal and eliminate the trouble forever.
He's always causing trouble as soon as he wakes up, isn't it annoying!?
"Then, when will she wake up?"
Lihua's eyes widened, "We have to... in three days..."
Halfway through her words, Lihua noticed that there were outsiders here, and quickly swallowed the rest of her words.
The Alola Friendship Competition would end in three days, and then they would have a life-and-death battle with Liubo.
Where would they have time to wait for Xerneas to slowly wake up?
"It's hard to say, maybe she'll wake up tomorrow, maybe she'll still be asleep in three or five years."
Su Sheng rubbed his eyebrows and dialed a number.
"Hello, Lusamina, please arrange a large transport plane..."
Hearing Su Sheng's words, Fladali was taken aback and asked:
"Doctor Su Sheng, you are..."
"Sorry, Mr. Fladali, my research needs the help of the God of Eternity."
Su Sheng hung up the phone and explained:
"Can you let me take her back to Alola temporarily? Of course, after she wakes up and helps me with a small favor, I will immediately send her back to Kalos, but to be honest, I can't keep Xerneas either, after all, she is the guardian deity of Kalos."
Su Sheng was thinking of letting Xerneas help Lihua and the others get a few MEGA evolution stones as soon as she woke up.
Of course, Su Sheng felt that it was unlikely that she would wake up before the end of the Alola Friendship Competition.
It wasn't a TV series, how could there be such a coincidence?
But what if it happened?
"Is that so? Then there's no need to trouble President Lusamina. I also have a large transport plane. Let our Fladali Group help the doctor send it over."
Fladali said "enthusiastically."
Su Sheng was a little surprised.
Because Fladali's purpose was to use Xerneas and Yveltal as "keys" to open the ultimate weapon, eliminate excess humans and Pokémon, and create a world that he considered eternally perfect.
He wasn't worried that he would take Xerneas away?
Su Sheng thought there were only two possibilities.
One was that Fladali hadn't found the location of the ultimate weapon yet.
The other was that he also knew that as long as Xerneas woke up, she would definitely return to Kalos.
Just like Zamazenta, as a guardian deity of one side, she couldn't leave her territory for a long time.
So he didn't have to worry about Su Sheng taking Xerneas for himself.
"Then I'll have to trouble President Fladali."
Su Sheng didn't refuse and didn't think much.
After all, the focus was now on Liubo. Su Sheng really didn't have the mind to guess what Fladali was planning.
"Doctor, just call me by my name, and I'm not the chairman yet."
Fladali smiled.
Before long, Fladali called a large transport plane that was large enough to fit the giant tree in.
"Doctor Su Sheng, that... my brother was too rude just now, I'm sorry!"
When Su Sheng was about to leave, Mery mustered up the courage to come out and bow to Su Sheng to apologize.
"It's nothing, putting myself in your shoes, I would actually think the same."
Su Sheng waved his hand, indicating that Mery didn't need to mind.
When passing by the other party's shoulder, Su Sheng whispered in the girl's ear: "However, try to stay away from Fladali and Pachira."
After speaking, Su Sheng took Lihua and Yishu on the plane.
Holding Hoopa, Mery watched the plane rise into the night sky and whispered Su Sheng's words just now, "Stay away from them..."
Mery turned to look at the two people. She saw Pachira talking to her brother. Barza was blushing and telling Pachira how his great-grandfather had sealed Hoopa a hundred years ago. He had completely revealed the family's secrets to the other party.
Mery rolled her eyes wildly.
She could stay away from Fladali and Pachira, but she felt that her brother couldn't!
……
The third day of the Alola Friendship Competition.
The contestants who could stay in this round were all elites among elites, absolute champion level.
Draco, Shirona, Mikoli...
These young generations who were about to take over the alliance champion's seat were all among them.
In yesterday's game, Mikoli defeated the current champion of the Fengyuan Alliance, the dragon-type Genji, with a narrow victory.
Needless to say, when he returns to Fengyuan from Alola in a few days, he will immediately jump two levels from the gym trainer and directly serve as the champion.
And Draco also defeated the current champion of the Quartz Alliance, Kikuko, with a slight advantage yesterday.
He proved to the world that although he had lost his trump card, he still had the strength to serve as the champion of the Quartz Alliance.
Oh, right, Kaluni was also inside.
Although, as many people on the Internet said, many people suspected that Kaluni, as the next champion of the Kalos Alliance, had not actually reached the champion level.
However, thinking that the previous champion, Drasena, did not actually have the champion level, but also sat in the champion position for so many years, they turned a blind eye.
Because the number of contestants has been reduced to a very low number.
So today will definitely stage a battle between the reserve champions.
In the morning, when I saw the battle schedule for today's game.
The cheers of Manalo Arena came to an abrupt end.
Dandi VS Kaluni!
Draco VS Shirona!
The old champions Adek and Mikoli drew good lots.
They faced the few heavenly king-level trainers who had been promoted, Shin'ao's Gosong and Padia's Aoki.
Today's first battle is Aoki VS Mikoli.
It is said that Aoki originally did not want to come, but was forcibly pulled over by Yeci.
"Let me finish the game early and go back to Padia."
Aoki sighed and tidied up the tie under his suit and muttered to himself.
Originally, he thought that there were so many masters, he should be eliminated in the first round.
Unexpectedly, he drew good lots for two consecutive rounds and advanced all the way.
"Is Heavenly King Aoki not resting well?"
Mikoli asked with concern.
"You're really energetic, you'll understand when you reach my age."
Aoki responded weakly, then turned and walked back to his side of the command platform.
"Hey! Aoki! Get serious for me!"
"You are our last hope in Padia! Let the world see our strength in Padia!"
"Champion Mikoli, don't hold back!"
The audience from Padia at the scene offered encouragement to the two people in the arena.
To be honest, Padia Guan Zhongye was quite surprised.
This time, their Padia Alliance sent three representatives, Champion Yeci, the head of the Four Heavenly Kings, Yasuo, and the Heavenly King Aoki.
Unexpectedly, it was Aoki, the weakest of the three, who made it to the end.
……
The final result of this game was that Aoki was defeated by Mikoli.
After leaving a sentence "The overtime is over, so I want to say goodbye first... but after that, the champion of the competition will challenge Dr. Su Sheng, so I personally decided to stay and see, after all, some scenery just walking on a flat road, you still need to look up to the strong to be able to take off and fly.", Aoki returned to the lounge to watch the game.
"This uncle is quite interesting, what do you think? Asheng."
In a corner of the VIP stand on the second floor, Lu Lina smiled at Su Sheng.
At this moment, Lu Lina was still holding a turtle king in her arms.
This was what Su Sheng asked Dr. Oki to get for Lu Lina.
After all, Lu Lina's future main direction is fish-man karate, and it feels like the turtle king is quite suitable, after all, they are all blue fat men like a certain fish-man karate master in Su Sheng's memory...
"It feels like the complete opposite type of Mr. Kabu."
Cai Dou commented.
Aoki's appearance of being able to die suddenly at any time made Cai Dou couldn't help but think of Kabu, the engine gym leader of the Galar Alliance.
Compared with the lazy Aoki, Kabu felt like he was exercising all the time.
However, the strength of the two people is indeed very different.
One can be counted as a strong person among the heavenly kings, and the other can barely reach the threshold of an elite gym owner.
"I can only say that this world is so unfair."
Su Sheng shrugged.
Just like some academic masters in his previous life who were playing all day long and still ranked among the best, some people studied day and night to barely keep up with the progress.
I can only say that reality is so cruel.
……
On the battlefield, Aoki and Mikoli left the field one after another.
"Draco!"
"Draco!"
"Shirona!"
"Shirona!"
Manalo Arena rang out the names of the two people whose popularity in this competition can definitely be among the top three.
Little Chrysanthemum: "What an amazing popularity, the atmosphere has been mobilized before entering the arena."
Wanlong: "Mr. Dandi, Mr. Draco and Miss Shirona should be the three most concerned people in this competition, of course, this is under the premise that Dr. Su Sheng is not included."
In front of the TV, the second brother Jiro, who will take over the position of Xiao Gangguan owner in the future, asked: "Brother, who do you think will win?"
Although he has not yet served as the gym trainer of Nibishan, Xiao Gang, who has already shown the vision of a top breeder, pinched his chin and said:
"If you asked me this question a month ago, I would say that Heavenly King Draco is better, but now... it's hard to say."
Losing the trump card has too much of an impact on Draco's strength.
"But having said that, Miss Shirona is really beautiful!"
Just after the analysis, Xiao Gang's eyes turned into peach hearts again, along with his father Wu Neng.
Mom Xiaomi, infuriated, grabbed both father and son by the ears, causing them to yelp in pain.
The younger siblings sighed, clearly accustomed to such scenes.
"The second round of the competition is about to begin! Champion Lance and Ms. Cynthia are entering!"
Kotone, sitting in the commentary box, said into the microphone:
"In the first two rounds of the competition leading up to today's event, these two have respectively defeated the current Indigo League Champion Agatha and the Sinnoh League Elite Four Leader Lucian. After the tournament, we can officially call them champions."
"According to the popularity poll conducted by our Alola official, Ms. Cynthia and Mr. Lance are second and third only to Champion Leon in popularity. By the way, Dr. Sosuke, oh no, Champion Sosuke, was not included in the rankings."
"Now, both sides have taken their positions."
Inside the battle stadium, Lance and Cynthia stood facing each other.
However, Cynthia barely glanced at Lance, who was less than two meters away, and instead frequently looked towards the second-floor stands.
Because today, Sosuke had come to watch the match.
"What do you mean? Do you think battling me doesn't require your full attention?"
Noticing Cynthia's absent-mindedness, Lance's expression darkened.
After consecutive victories against Champions Agatha and Alder, he, the Dragon Master, had managed to regain some face.
But Cynthia's current attitude made him very unhappy.
Even if it's just a friendly match, you're daydreaming during a battle with me, Lance? Are you looking down on me too much?!
"Ah?"
Cynthia, as if caught napping in class by the homeroom teacher, woke up with a start and hurriedly explained:
"Oh no, that's not it. I, I was just..."
Cynthia, who was about to explain, stopped mid-sentence.
Because she suddenly realized she couldn't explain.
After all, she couldn't say something like, "I feel like there's something wrong with Sosuke," right?
He had only saved the league a little over a month ago, and here you are, already suspecting him.
That's just not right.
"Hmph!"
Seeing Cynthia unable to explain herself for a long time, Lance became even more convinced that Cynthia wasn't taking their battle seriously.
He snorted coldly, flicked his cloak, and turned to walk towards the command platform.
Cynthia helplessly pinched her brow, hoping Lance wouldn't take the matter to heart too much.
Slap! Slap!
Cynthia raised her small hands and patted both cheeks, encouraging herself: "Don't think about it, don't think about it. I have to be serious and win this match!"
After all, the whole world is watching; she couldn't let Sinnoh lose face.
Returning to the command platform, Cynthia took a deep breath, and the look in her right eye, not covered by her bangs, instantly sharpened, transforming her back into the Valkyrie of Sinnoh.
"Dance in the sky! Garchomp!"
Those who haven't watched Pokémon might think she was releasing her Zanpakuto after hearing Cynthia's shout.
Whoosh—
The excited Sinnoh audience in the stadium jumped up from their seats.
Other viewers were equally astonished.
She's using her ace right away.
But that's right; compared to the more strategic 6V6 battles, overwhelming the opponent in one go is often more effective in 3V3 battles.
Not to mention that for friendly matches, it's more important to entertain the audience than to have a close contest.
Seeing Cynthia send out her ace right away,
Lance narrowed his eyes and thought for two seconds before throwing out a Poké Ball with a flick of his arm.
Appearing was a blue Gyarados that had joined his team around the same time as his ace Dragonite, evolving from a Magikarp.
After Dragonite became like that, this blue Gyarados became the ace of his team.
Well, he really became the Flying-type Champion; even his ace isn't a real dragon.
