"Su Sheng, champion!"
"Su Sheng, champion!"
"Su Sheng, champion!"
More than ten minutes passed. When Infernape fell before Dande, and at the same time, on the big screen, the third Poké Ball icon with Infernape on it next to his avatar dimmed.
Nearly half of the audience, the Alola people, couldn't wait to stand up, fanatically shouting the same name together.
"What a wonderful game."
Kukui, who guested as a referee for a week, came up and shook hands with Dande.
Dande glanced at his photo on the big screen, where all three Poké Ball icons were dimmed, and then looked at Su Sheng's side, where all three icons remained bright.
Wonderful...?
Oh well, at least it was a very enjoyable fight.
"Please accept this."
Kukui then took out a silver medal and helped Dande put it on.
Dande didn't know whether to laugh or cry.
Since his debut, he had won so many trophies that he couldn't even remember them all. A silver medal was a rare experience.
However, the experience of winning a trophy yesterday and a silver medal today was probably something he would never experience a second time in his life.
And Su Sheng was even more speechless, because Lusamine directly handed him a large trophy.
This was much more exaggerated than Dande's friendly match trophy yesterday.
Comparable to the difference between the Carabao Cup and the Champions League trophy.
Giving such a big trophy for winning just one match, Su Sheng didn't know what kind of expression to make.
"Champion!!!"
"Champion!!!"
"Champion!!!"
Fortunately, the atmosphere was not as awkward as Su Sheng had imagined. Manalo Stadium erupted in deafening cheers.
Not only the local Alola people, but also the out-of-town spectators from all over the world looked equally fanatical.
Because in their view, this battle witnessed today not only represented the determination of the strongest trainer in the league, but also the birth of the guardian deity of their Pokémon League people.
It could be seen from Damalanqi's smiling applause.
Although Su Sheng did not become a member of Kanto and Johto, just like when Team Rocket caused trouble before, elites from other leagues came to support him.
In the future, if those Team Rocket villains cause trouble again, there will be a Ruyi Jingu Bang to suppress them.
……
……
Alola began the last day of carnival celebrations.
Reporters flocked to interview elite trainers and league presidents from various regions.
"I am very happy that Diantha has taken over as the Champion of the Kalos League. I will support her as a member of the Elite Four in the future."
Former Kalos League Champion Siebold accepted the interview in a good mood.
Although Diantha's performance in the competition was the least eye-catching among the new champions,
Siebold was still very happy that she could take this position.
Because Siebold knew very well that although it was still a bit lacking now, Diantha would definitely advance to the champion level in the near future.
It was better than himself, who had been stuck at the peak of the Elite Four for so many years, but had to occupy the champion seat.
Moreover, he didn't really want to sit in this position. The key was that there was really no one in the Kalos League!
He, a member of the Elite Four from Sinnoh, had been the Champion of the Kalos League for so many years!
"After the old chairman retires, it is said that the chief representative of Lysandre Labs, Lysandre, will take over as chairman. What do you think of this matter?"
The reporter continued to ask.
"Mr. Lysandre and his Lysandre Labs have made outstanding contributions to the economic development of the Kalos region. I believe he will be an excellent chairman."
Siebold was not very familiar with Lysandre, but his colleague Pachira gave him a very high evaluation. In addition, the other party had indeed made great contributions to the economic aspect of Kalos, so Siebold also supported Lysandre as the new chairman.
"Champion Wallace, many netizens say that it was because Mr. Steven's Metagross was seriously injured in the previous battle that you became the champion. What is your response to this?"
On the other side, a reporter threw a sharp question to Wallace.
"It's normal for everyone to have different opinions, but since I have become the champion, I will take on the responsibility of the champion to protect everyone in Hoenn. If I don't do well, it won't be too late to criticize me at that time."
Wallace replied with a smile, without revealing any flaws.
"Then has your relationship with Gym Leader Winona been repaired?"
The reporter changed the subject and asked a completely irrelevant question.
Wallace's face instantly darkened.
And the most attention was paid to Alola.
Su Sheng, who served as the champion, Lusamine, who was the chairman of the league, and even Lorelei and Bea, who had recently transferred from Galar, received special attention.
Secondly, it was Rose.
After all, Su Sheng had obtained too many things from Galar.
There were three gym leaders who were poached from Galar alone.
"Chairman Lusamine, many netizens are still curious, why did Dr. Su Sheng choose Alola instead of Galar? Can you tell us about it?"
"Mr. Su Sheng, if you choose Alola, then Bewear will be separated from Zacian. Are you going to release Bewear?"
"Ms. Lorelei, did you leave Galar to join Alola because of Dr. Su Sheng?"
"Chairman Rose, many people on the Internet suspect that you have a crush on Dr. Su Sheng. Is this true?"
"Dande performed very poorly today. Will you let Raihan or Piers replace Dande's position?"
“……”
Lusamine frowned slightly, somewhat displeased, and said: "When I first met Asheng two years ago, my family and him got along quite well, and we developed a deep relationship. We are like family. Asheng chose to stay in Alola, it can only be said that he values relationships more than interests. Of course, perhaps in the eyes of some people who are greedy for profit, this is impossible, but he is such a person who values love and righteousness."
"My lover is Galar."
Rose said with a smile:
"Dr. Su Sheng is the most outstanding genius in the history of the league. I am very willing to provide him with corresponding help. Although Dande did not defeat a single one of Dr. Su Sheng's Pokémon today, I believe that apart from him, there is no one in the league who can last so long under Dr. Su Sheng's hands. And it won't be long before Dande will reach a higher level and reach the same height as Dr. Su Sheng."
The reporters, and even the league elites who heard Rose's words from the periphery, couldn't help but look at each other in dismay.
Even Dande himself was a little unbelievable.
Does the chairman think so highly of me?
……
……
The next day, the chairmen from all over the league and those elites said goodbye to Su Sheng one by one.
Steven said that it was not bad not to be the champion, so that he could wholeheartedly cultivate his shiny Beldum and study the newly discovered stones in the Hoenn region.
Yes, it is the same type of stone as the keystone that Diantha gave before.
Devon Corporation has also begun research.
I don’t know which side, Lysandre Labs or Devon Corporation, will be able to develop MEGA evolution faster.
However, as long as Xerneas wakes up, this honor will belong to Dr. Su Sheng again.
When saying goodbye to the Sinnoh group, Su Sheng's eyes stayed on Sheena for a second without showing any signs.
If nothing else, this sister will be kidnapped by Marcus as soon as she returns to Michina.
"Sorry, after all, I can't let my own territory be destroyed."
Su Sheng felt no guilt and apologized to Sheena in his heart.
He admitted that he was not a good person.
Fighting with Marcus will definitely be at the level of map cannons.
Alola is at least his own home, and Su Sheng is reluctant to start a fight here.
But Michina is different, it is sparsely populated, and it doesn't matter if Sheena calls Palkia to repair the space after the fight, right?
Just like when Palkia repaired Alamos Town in the movie.
[Uncle, the person is back]
The first thing Su Sheng did after seeing everyone off was to send a message to Sakaki.
Accompanied by Kiku and Lance, Su Sheng came to the Aether Paradise's conservation area.
At this moment, the Eternal Flower in the center still showed no signs of waking up.
And those wild Pokémon adopted by the Aether Foundation were shrinking in the corner with fearful expressions.
It was because under the Eternal Flower, a group of Pokémon were lying prostrate under the tree, closing their eyes and resting.
"Woof ~"
Sensing the sound of footsteps, Dai Dai and the other three's ears twitched, and they got up to greet him quickly.
Sitting together in a triangular formation, the Bewear, Walking Wake, and Shadow Lugia also put down the playing cards in their hands.
They have recently become obsessed with a game called "Dou Dizhu" that Su Sheng taught them.
However, Umbreon has to transform into Walking Wake every time he plays.
Because only in this form can it free up its hands to hold the cards.
And Zoroark was sitting opposite Mew, who had just teleported Zacian over.
One fox and one cat were each holding a second-generation Pokedex and playing 《Pokémon Racing》 online.
This is the third game developed by Rainbow Company.
A racing game that brings together Pikachu, Bewear, Mew and many other popular Pokémon as character drivers.
The prototype is naturally a red-hat plumber who has been saving princesses for decades.
Su Sheng first touched the three dogs, Bewear, and his eyes swept over Umbreon, Shadow Lugia, Zacian, Mega Altaria, Zoroark, and Dai Dai, Lulu, and Bibi one by one.
"In the next battle, the one we have to deal with is very likely, no, it is the strongest trainer in this world."
"But I don't have any fear in my heart, because when I see you, I firmly believe that I will not lose to anyone."
"There's nothing to be afraid of a master, let him become history."
……
……
Su Sheng said this with great momentum.
However, when Su Sheng took the best lineup on a special plane and was about to land in Michina, he suddenly received a call from Sakaki.
"Asheng, the situation has changed."
Su Sheng, who was about to get off the plane, paused and frowned:
"What's wrong?"
"That little girl didn't go back to Michina, she went to Lily of the Valley Island."
"Huh?"
Su Sheng was stunned.
Of course Su Sheng was no stranger to Lily of the Valley Island. It was the location of the Sinnoh League headquarters where Satoshi's 10-year championship dream was shattered in the anime.
What is Sheena doing there if she doesn't go home?
"In short, Marcus has also passed. I have already asked my subordinates to investigate the situation. Wait for my news first."
After Sakaki finished speaking, he hung up the phone.
Su Sheng, who was originally like Xiang Yu crossing the Zhang River and was ready to break the boat, was inexplicably in a bad mood at the moment.
What's going on?
After getting off the plane, Su Sheng and the three found a bed and breakfast in a small village in Michina.
Although Michina only has dozens of households, it is still a scenic spot, and there are still places to stay.
Two days later, Sakaki finally sent back a message.
He said that Sheena no longer lived in Michina, but settled on Lily of the Valley Island.
Su Sheng, who received the call, had a question mark on his head at that time.
What's the situation?
Then Sakaki explained.
It was because of the theft of the Life Jewel a year ago.
Didn't Su Sheng think that Joker stole the Life Jewel?
The Pokémon League was frightened when they learned about this.
Even the dream lineup composed of Drasna, Cynthia, and Steven was dispatched at that time.
Later, although the Life Jewel was recovered.
But the League was still fearful.
After some discussion, it was decided to place the Life Jewel on Lily of the Valley Island, which is the headquarters of the Sinnoh League, to prevent a second theft.
And Sheena, as the heir of the Arceus Clan who guards the Life Jewel, naturally moved to Lily of the Valley Island to continue guarding the Life Jewel, so that she could return it to Arceus in the future.
"Now that old thing Marcus is also very troubled. That little girl named 'Sheena' lives in the Sinnoh League's headquarters building and is basically inseparable from the new Sinnoh League champion Cynthia. Even if they are occasionally not together, they are basically protected by specialists, so it is not easy to attack."
At this moment, Sakaki, who was on Lily of the Valley Island, squinted at the crowded streets.
Sheena is now in a state of being protected by the Sinnoh League at all times is a problem.
Another problem is that, unlike the sparsely populated Michina, Lily of the Valley Island is the headquarters of the Sinnoh League, so there is no need to say more about the population.
Even if Marcus succeeds in kidnapping people in this environment, the Sinnoh League will immediately discover it.
In the original work, the reason why Marcus left the arena immediately after getting the GS Ball and ran to the Acorn Forest was because Celebi was there and he was busy catching it.
If a fight breaks out in the crowded arena, I don’t know how many people will die.
It was a blessing in disguise.
"But at least it's a good thing for us, isn't it? The old man won't be able to attack in the short term, so Xerneas will wake up during this time."
Sakaki added.
Su Sheng and Kiku and Lance looked at each other.
That's indeed the truth.
Marcus will not be able to take action for a while, so we will have more time to wait for Xerneas to wake up.
"Then... let's go back?"
Lance blinked.
Kiku brushed her hair and said rather speechlessly: "I originally came here with the determination to fight to the death... tsk, what a waste of emotion."
"Huh? Asheng, what's wrong?"
Kiku noticed that Su Sheng's expression was a little heavy.
"Fighting on Lily of the Valley Island is not a good thing for us."
Su Sheng said.
"What do you mean? Asheng?"
Lance had a smart expression.
"There are too many people on Lily of the Valley Island, right?"
Kiku immediately understood.
The reason why Su Sheng wanted to sell Sheena's information to Marcus was because Michina was sparsely populated and was the most suitable battlefield.
Without outsiders present, we not only don't have to worry about casualties, but we can also bring out our full lineup without any reservations.
But Lilac Island... Lihua checked the population, and damn, it's in the seven digits.
"This, this is a bit troublesome, isn't it? If we start fighting there..."
Yishu slightly imagined the scene, and a drop of cold sweat fell from his chubby face.
Although he likes excitement, he also admits that he sometimes does bad things.
But to involve hundreds of thousands of people at once... Holy crap, this, this is playing a bit too big.
If that many people really died, even if Yishu was completely heartless, he would wake up in the middle of the night and slap himself in the face.
"...There's no choice, we can only use that move."
Su Sheng decided after thinking for a while.
"Asheng, do you have a plan?"
Lihua and Yishu turned their heads in unison.
"Isn't that legendary creature we saw before who likes to steal things very good at teleportation?"
Su Sheng asked rhetorically.
As soon as these words were spoken, Lihua and Yishu immediately remembered a gluttonous mythical beast who could speak human language and kept stuffing donuts into its mouth.
That's right, wasn't it Hoopa's ability that prevented the Great Twilight War in the original work from causing too many civilian casualties?
"Are we going back to Kalos to borrow it from that girl named 'Mairin'?"
Yishu asked curiously.
After all, our group has a legitimate reason to avoid harming the innocent, and Mairin and her unreliable older brother probably won't refuse.
"But what if she asks us 'Why do you know something will happen on Lilac Island'? How should we answer?"
Lihua glared at Yishu, after being on the team for so many years, this idiot still hasn't made any progress.
"Although it might be a bit rude, we really can only steal it."
Su Sheng chuckled:
"After we defeat Pryce, we'll pretend to be careless and deliberately let Little Hoopa escape."
"Perfect!"
Yishu gave a thumbs up and praised.
Lihua was too lazy to pay attention to this idiot and asked Su Sheng:
"When are we going to make a move?"
"No need to rush, let's act when Pryce's patience is about to run out. Abducting Hoopa too early might leave psychological trauma on the child."
Su Sheng smiled.
"I think giving her a lesson wouldn't be bad either, that little thing is too naughty."
Lihua recalled the scene when they first met Hoopa a few days ago.
She thought that if her child was this naughty, she would spank her bottom until it blossomed!
......
......
On the other side, a high-rise office building in the center of Lumiose City, Kalos region.
Everyone in Kalos knows that this is the headquarters of Lysandre Labs, a leading enterprise in the Kalos region.
But few people know that this is also the base of the criminal organization Team Flare.
But that's normal, after all, the Kalos League doesn't even know what "Team Flare" is right now.
At this moment, Lysandre is working with Xerosic and a group of Team Flare scientists to study Mega Evolution Stones.
On the experimental table in front of them, there are several Evolution Stones, each with a different color.
At this time, the automatic door of the laboratory opened, and Malva walked in with one hand on her hip, striding like a model:
"Mr. Lysandre, the Kalos League has officially decided that you will serve as the next chairman of the Kalos League. I hope you can attend the press conference tomorrow, and the League will also announce that Diantha will take over the champion position."
"Great, this way, Team Flare's operations in the Kalos region will be more convenient, zo~"
Xerosic, the chief scientist of Team Flare, said with a strange verbal tic.
"Is that so? I understand."
Compared to his subordinates' excitement, Lysandre seemed unusually calm.
Malva crossed her arms in front of her chest, making her figure, which was no less impressive than Lorelei's, even more stunning. "Speaking of which, is it okay to leave Xerneas with Su Sheng? Isn't that the key to activating the ultimate weapon?"
"Xerneas is the guardian deity of the Kalos region. Once she wakes up, she will definitely return to Kalos. Even Su Sheng can't forcibly capture her."
Lysandre said without changing his expression.
"Moreover, there is another trump card now."
Speaking of this, Lysandre finally revealed a smile.
"Hoopa... is it?"
Malva narrowed her eyes slightly and spoke the name of the so-called "trump card" in Lysandre's mouth.
Sorry, the updates for the next two days may be affected a bit because the outline is used up again, and I'm in a state of inspiration depletion. I spent the whole afternoon writing an outline today, but I wasn't satisfied, so I deleted it and revised it again. Please understand, after all, it's very important to write a coherent novel outline. There's an author I know who also writes Pokémon stories, but he couldn't hold on and directly ended the story yesterday. I don't want to become like that, so please understand, thank you. By the way, I want to complain that Drasna, the leader of the Kalos Elite Four, is still a Sinnoh person, which is really unbearable. This league is so bad. Also, thank you very much to Little Zai 3969 for the donation.
