Chapter 542: This Tournament is Deeper Than it Seems.

"So, you defeated Tyrantrum?"

Wu Song, with one leg crossed over the other, sat on a bench, closing his book. He was inwardly skeptical.

For some reason, it didn’t seem that hard to believe.

"No, Tyrantrum just regained its senses and returned to its lair," Jinghe sat down on the other side of the bench.

Defeat Tyrantrum?

With what?

At that time, Tyrantrum was in a berserk state. Unless Mewtwo could Mega Evolve again, it would be almost impossible to defeat it.

Wu Song's expression was one of "I don’t read much, don’t fool me."

"Speaking of which, isn’t the lineup for this ‘Junior Master World Championship’ a bit too luxurious?" Jinghe glanced around the bustling street, recognizing some familiar faces, and sighed.

"Isn’t it luxurious every year?"

Wu Song followed his gaze, adjusted his glasses, and admitted with a bit of embarrassment, "Alright, it is pretty luxurious."

How could it not be?

Just looking at those who would likely become Champions in the future: Ado from the Kanto region, Daowu Mikeli from the Johto region, Herona from the Sinnoh region, Kaluna from the Kalos region, and Danti from the Galar region. These people, even now, are at least at the level of a region’s Four Heavenly Kings.

Apart from them, there are others like Konna from the Kanto region, Yishu and Li Hua from the Hoenn region, the Sinnoh "Three Idiots," Dian Ci, Gadelia and Wanlong from the Unova region, and Kibana from the Galar region. None of them can be underestimated.

Especially Konna and the Sinnoh "Three Idiots."

As everyone knows, the Kanto League has the strongest overall strength. Although there can only be one Champion, many believe that the Kanto Four Heavenly Kings can, in some ways, rival the Champions of other regions.

As for the Sinnoh "Three Idiots"...

Wu Song, with his tactical abilities, is undoubtedly the brain of the "Three Idiots."

Ade is a bit simple, but he’s not to be underestimated in battle. He’s one of the few in the Pokemon world who can reach the level of a Four Heavenly King using only Bug-type Pokemon.

And Da Ye...

He uses his passion for battle to pull opponents to his level and then defeats them with his rich experience. This is somewhat similar to Ado’s battle style.

At this moment, most of these people were in the living room, chatting and laughing, with good relations among them.

Jinghe thought that if someone were to attack Flying Cloud City at this moment, the entire League would really be in a bind.

"Gramps~~"

The cheerful Gramps, holding a young Tyrogue, floated over with two cups of drinks and handed one to Jinghe.

Jinghe didn’t hesitate, took a sip, and found it quite tasty, so he took a couple more sips. Looking at the bustling shop across from him, he said:

"Business is really good, huh?"

How could it not be?

Flying Cloud City was packed with people, and there were many spectators from all over the world.

Even though Flying Cloud City is a megacity, the sudden influx of so many people made it feel overly crowded.

It seemed that setting up a stall to sell anything would attract a lot of customers.

To accommodate all the people from around the world, the Unova League had expanded Flying Cloud City, building many residential areas.

He even saw several Dev Company construction teams.

Jinghe played with Tyrogue on the bench, his gaze sweeping over the crowd, and he spotted a familiar, mountain-like back.

"Shibao, the Heavenly King?"

Why is Shibao here?

He doesn’t have the qualifications to participate.

It’s not that he isn’t a Master, but he... isn’t young enough. Cough.

At that moment, Shibao had a serious expression and was waiting in line. However, when the customers saw his muscular build, they instinctively moved to the sides.

Then, Jinghe saw another familiar figure.

"H-h-how can it be you again, H-H-Hibao Heavenly King, what would you like, nya?" A Meowth, speaking in human language, was wiping his hands, sweating profusely.

Meowth?

And next to Meowth... Musashi, Koushirou, and Genkouou, all dressed as waiters, with Genkouou wearing a straw hat given by Jinghe, looking like a mascot.

The Team Rocket Trio?

They’re here in Flying Cloud City too?

"It’s you guys again." Shibao recognized Meowth and smiled, revealing his teeth. "As expected, your Angry Buns are the best. So... the usual."

"Pack it all up!"

"Y-yes, no problem, nya!"

Shibao took the bag from Meowth, casually took an Angry Bun, and put it in his mouth, raising an eyebrow.

"Hmm, as expected, it’s just right."

"T-thank you for your patronage!" ×3

Watching Shibao leave, the Team Rocket Trio wiped their sweat, still feeling a bit shaken.

And the customers around them couldn’t help but start talking.

"Hibao from the Kanto Four Heavenly Kings, he’s not here to participate, right?"

"Maybe he’s waiting for the tournament to end to battle someone."

"It’s not just Hibao. I saw Zimi Heavenly King from the Kalos region cooking in the kitchen earlier."

"..."

Jing He shook his head, took out his phone, walked to the side, and called Zhen Niao.

"Master Jing He?" Zhen Niao's surprised voice came through the phone.

"Are you in Unova?" Jing He asked directly.

"Er, yes, we just arrived a couple of days ago. You see, Pokemon Hollywood invited us for some kind of celebration."

The Rocket Media Entertainment Co., Ltd. has gained quite a reputation with the success of "Meowth and Pikachu" and the Pokemon Trading Card Game.

The same goes for the Team Rocket Trio.

However, despite their newfound fame, the Trio's entrepreneurial instincts kick in at the sight of the bustling Flying Cloud City, compelling them to make some extra cash.

"Nothing else?" Jing He asked again.

In his mind, aside from Kanto and Johto, the regions where Team Rocket is most active, Unova is where they have the most extensive network.

"Yes, Master Jing He, I'll tell you more when I reach Flying Cloud City."

"Okay."

Jing He ended the call, not intending to disturb the Trio.

They just wanted to earn some extra money; what's the harm in that?

As night fell, the contestants began to arrive in Flying Cloud City.

Among them was Ado, accompanied by his cousin, Jing He's student Da Wu, and surprisingly, Danti, who was rarely late. This time, Danti wasn't alone; with him was Kibana, the Gym Leader from the Galar region, known as the "Weather Child" and Danti's arch-rival.

Kibana was dressed in a fashionable jacket, wearing a red headscarf, and constantly taking photos with his phone.

Danti also found his childhood friend, Sonia, who had flown in with Da Wu and the others.

"Long time no see, Master Jing He," Danti smiled.

"Long time no see," Jing He smiled back, looking at Sonia, who was pouting to the side, "How did you two meet up?"

Sonia huffed, "As we were about to reach Flying Cloud City, we saw a Charizard carrying someone, flying around over the sea."

Jing He was speechless; no wonder it was Danti.

Why couldn't he just take a plane? He knows he has a terrible sense of direction, yet he still runs all over the place.

Danti chuckled awkwardly and introduced, "Master Jing He, this is Kibana, the Gym Leader of the Fighting Dojo in the Galar region."

"Master Jing He," Kibana seemed familiar with Jing He and was quite outgoing, greeting him with a smile.

"I know, Kibana, the 'Weather Child,' a powerful Trainer specializing in Dragon-type Pokemon."

In the original story, he was hailed as one of the "Eight Masters," but he ultimately lost to Satoshi, becoming the ninth "Master" and known as the man "Closest to Danti."

If the Galar region had the Four Heavenly Kings, Kibana would undoubtedly be one of them, perhaps even the leader.

Of course, in the original story, when the "Eight Masters" arc began, the previous generations' Champions were somewhat weakened.

However, it's undeniable that Kibana is indeed very strong. If it weren't for the protagonist, Satoshi, and instead it was Iris competing for the spot, the outcome might have been different.

But for the contestants from the Galar region, their strength is somewhat diminished when competing outside their region.

After all, they can't Gigantamax their Pokemon.

Jing He was actually quite excited, wondering when they could integrate Mega Evolution, Z-Moves, Gigantamax, and Dynamax into a single competition; that would truly be a chaotic spectacle.

This idea isn't entirely impossible.

For instance, Blueberry Academy in the Unova region seems to have grasped the principles of Dynamax, allowing them to hold Dynamax battles within the academy's premises.

In the future, it's not impossible for Gigantamax to be promoted worldwide.

Hearing Jing He's praise, Kibana quickly added,

"I'd also like to witness Master Jing He's Eevee, which left a deep impression on Danti."

Eevee?

Jing He's expression turned slightly odd, then he chuckled.

"You never know, you never know."

He secretly gestured with his fingers.

Jirachi, Darkrai, Marshadow, Mewtwo... If these four were to compete in this "Junior Master World Championship," they might just sweep through the competition, right?

After bidding farewell to Danti and the others, Jing He strolled around the park in Flying Cloud City, occasionally bumping into acquaintances or fans.

He suddenly stopped and stood by a railing, looking up at a streetlight.

"Gramps, it's about time, let's go back."

Gramps was perched on the streetlight, his red eyes glowing, seemingly paying tribute to someone.

"Hng gah~~"

Gramps' eyes shifted, and he floated down.

Wasn't I cool just now?

Back at the contestants' village, everyone was accommodated based on their "connections," so they weren't far from each other.

For instance, to the left of Jing He's small house was Herona's, and to the right was Da Wu's.

In the yard, separated by a half-meter-high fence, Jing He was holding a "motivational meeting."

"This time, we..."

"Hng gah!" (Aim for first place!)

"Yo-chi!" (Target: Champion!)

"Hrooo!" (Take down everyone!)

Gramps, Tyrogue, and the Martial Bear Master were the most enthusiastic, and Jing He patted each of their heads.

Dong, dong, dong—

He huffed, "Remember, the most important thing is to protect yourself!"

Huh?

The little ones tilted their heads, looking at him curiously.

"Although the prize money is tempting, we're not the same as we used to be. There's no need to force it. If we can win, we will, and if not, we'll just take the loss. It's just a few bucks, after all."

"Wuuu~" (It seems like fifty million.)

Jinghe's eyes widened, "Fifty million and a few bucks are not the same when you don't get the money! This time, our opponents are no pushovers! Remember, the most important thing is to protect yourselves!"

He added silently in his heart, "Don't get too hurt!"

Money was indeed important, but they weren't without other means to earn it.

And seeing the little ones injured, even if he didn't say much, it still hurt his heart.

"Wooo~"

Ice Nine Tails took the lead in expressing its agreement.

As cautious as it was, it knew how to protect itself.

The others nodded in unison.

Putting aside everything else, everyone's hearts were filled with warmth.

But the more they felt this way, the more they wanted to help Jinghe win the ultimate victory.

Come on!

On the other side of the yard, Herona, with her blonde hair cascading down her shoulders, wearing a light blue shirt and black wide-leg pants, was also sharing something with her Pokemon. As she listened to the conversation next door, a faint smile graced her face.

Their gazes met.

Herona smiled, "So, we haven't faced off before, have we?"

Hmm? Jinghe recalled, and indeed, they hadn't battled each other.

"Are you excited?" Herona asked again.

Jinghe shook his head vigorously and cleared his throat, "Go easy on me."

It wasn't just Herona; he hadn't battled with Ado, Daowu, Mikeli, Kaluna, or the others either.

Hiss—

For some reason, he felt a chill down his spine.

It felt like so many people wanted to 'harm' him.

The next day.

The opening ceremony of the "Junior Master World Championship" officially kicked off in the Unova region's Flying Cloud City! The blazing flames, carried by torchbearers, seemed to embody the enthusiasm of the audience.

Finally, this fire was no longer the 'lame' flames of Moltres. It was said to be the fire of Reshiram, the True Dragon, passed down from ancient Unova times!

The atmosphere suddenly elevated.

"Guchai."

Houndoom stared at the massive torch, his eyes burning with intensity.

It was clear that he was intrigued by Reshiram's flames.

Unfortunately, Reshiram was likely out of reach.

The host's voice echoed throughout the stadium, "Next, let's welcome the Unova League's Four Heavenly Kings, Mr. Etoro!"

This "Junior Master World Championship" was hosted by the Unova region, and the main person in charge was none other than Etoro.

"Hmph, another 'workhorse' I see."

In the Unova region, Champion Adek often wandered around, and now, the young Four Heavenly King, Etoro, with his strength and capabilities, had become the ideal 'workhorse'.

Just like Bonnie in the Johto region.

Wu Song, standing nearby, overheard Jinghe's muttering and couldn't help but shrink his neck. He turned to look at Herona, Da Ye, A Liu, and Dian Ci beside him, feeling as if his life had suddenly become gloomy.

I must bring Teacher Jinghe to Sinnoh, Wu Song resolved.

With Etoro's appearance, the already lively arena erupted in cheers, reaching a climax of applause.

Although Etoro seemed laid-back, he hadn't missed a single detail.

He began by reading out the rules of the competition and then displayed the participating contestants on the big screen, one by one.

All of them had reached the "Master Trainer" level, the pinnacle of young trainers, from various regions.

Among them were popular figures like Jinghe, Herona, Daowu, and Kaluna, as well as those with moderate fame and those unknown to Jinghe.

In any case,

"The 'World Championship' is indeed a deep pool," Jinghe sighed.

"Next, let's welcome the Unova League Champion, Mr. Adek!"

"Champion Adek!"

The cheers grew more fervent, and the opening ceremony reached its climax.

Any champion, in their respective regions, was undoubtedly the most popular figure.

And this champion had dedicated everything for the Unova region.

Adek, wearing his signature attire, with his Lion's Mane hairstyle, a Poke Ball hanging from his neck, strode onto the stage and grabbed the microphone.

The staff, their eyes filled with tension, prepared for the possibility of Champion Adek dozing off.

Fortunately.

Adek was alert today.

"I hereby declare—"

His voice reverberated throughout the venue, and the aura of a champion was instantly palpable, causing everyone to straighten their expressions in reverence.

"The 13th Junior Master World Championship, officially begins!"
