Chapter 642: Gathering of the Strong
Chapter 642: Gathering of the Strong
For a Pokemon to participate in the World Championship, it couldn't just go on its own; it needed a Trainer to lead it.
Rayquaza already had someone in mind for the role of Trainer.
It twisted its massive body and flew towards the lake connected to Shizhu's ranch.
Rayquaza's body glowed with a mysterious light, and as it passed through the lake's surface, its form shifted from its Origin Forme to its alternative form, landing on four legs.
Shizhu's ranch remained unchanged.
Rayquaza immediately spotted Shizhu, surrounded by a group of Pokemon, seemingly explaining something about the World Championship.
The next moment, Rayquaza flew directly towards that spot and slowly descended in front of Shizhu.
Seeing Rayquaza's sudden appearance, Shizhu, who was introducing the World Championship to the Pokemon, was momentarily stunned.
"Rayquaza? How did you get here?" Shizhu asked.
Rayquaza exuded confidence, "Shizhu, I want to participate in the World Championship! I want everyone to witness the mighty power of Rayquaza!"
Hearing this, Shizhu couldn't help but raise a big question mark above his head.
What?
He was completely baffled, then exclaimed in shock, "You want to join the World Championship too?!"
"Of course!" Rayquaza's aura of dominance was on full display, looking down upon the world.
Shizhu fell silent. His intention for participating in the World Championship was to take the Pokemon from the ranch for a fun experience and to exchange skills with other Trainers.
If he brought Rayquaza, wouldn't that mean his secret identity would be exposed?
Or should he participate like he did a few years ago in the Royal Dome of the Alola region, hiding his true identity behind a mask?
But the problem was that many of his Pokemon had dedicated strategy threads on online forums.
Thanks to the students from the Paldea Academy who had challenged the ranch trials, all the major trials at Shizhu's ranch had been shared on forums, and the views had already surpassed a million.
There were threads dedicated to Babudippo's Electric Trial, Rapid Dragon's Storm Trial, Frost Fairy's Lucky Trial, Riding Goat's Grass Trial, and even Gogoat and Zhenyifafa's Ancient Doubles Trial.
Not only Rayquaza, but Frost Fairy and the others also wanted to participate in the World Championship.
If Rayquaza and Babudippo were to appear in the hands of the same Trainer...
It was common knowledge that the World Championship garnered far more attention than any other League Conference.
Not to mention the live audience, the online viewership alone reached over a billion views.
And among these viewers, there would surely be those who had heard the rumors of the Paldea hidden boss.
At that time, these netizens would connect the identity of the Moto Mask with the ranch owner, Shizhu.
After that, his secret identity would be completely exposed by the netizens.
Tsk, this was indeed a difficult situation...
Seeing the expectant gazes of the surrounding Pokemon and Rayquaza's unrefusable expression, Shizhu couldn't help but feel a headache coming on.
He closed his eyes, and after a long while, he reopened them, letting out a sigh of resignation.
Oh well, let things take their natural course!
After all, many people had already come to the ranch because of his reputation as the Paldea hidden boss, so a few more wouldn't make a difference.
With this in mind, Shizhu made his decision.
He looked at Rayquaza and said, "Fine, you can come along this time too!"
Seeing Shizhu's agreement, Rayquaza opened its mouth, revealing a hideous smile.
The title of the World's Strongest Champion was within its grasp!
Rayquaza, feeling satisfied, returned to the Reverse World, awaiting Shizhu's summons.
At the same time, it couldn't contain its excitement and began boasting about becoming the world's strongest Pokemon in the Legendary Pokemon group chat.
[Rayquaza: @all, I have some good news to share. I, Rayquaza, will soon become the strongest Pokemon in the world!]
[Mewtwo: ?]
[Dialga: When is this happening?]
[Rayquaza: Soon! I'm going to participate in the World Championship with Shizhu, and once we win the championship, I'll be the undisputed strongest!]
[Leocrown: Congratulations.]
However, upon seeing Leocrown's response, Rayquaza fell silent.
It still remembered the scene from the Hoopa incident where Leocrown single-handedly fought against Dialga, Palkia, and itself, severely injuring them with its Ice Spear in an instant.
Rayquaza was relieved that it wouldn't be participating in the World Championship; otherwise, its title of the strongest Pokemon would be in jeopardy.
Just then, Rayquaza suddenly realized something and quickly asked Rotom to close the group chat, ignoring the inquiries from the other Pokemon.
Damn it! I almost forgot that the group chat has many legendary Pokemon that are just as powerful as it!
If they're also interested in that World Championship, it might not be able to come out on top.
That's absolutely not allowed to happen!
Shizuru was unaware of Rayquaza's thoughts.
At this moment, he was busy grouping the Pokemon in the ranch.
The rules of the World Championship were not fixed and were mainly decided by a draw.
Therefore, even in the advanced rounds, there would be 1v1, 2v2, and 3v3 single battles.
Since there were too many Pokemon in the ranch, Shizuru planned to group them, ensuring that each Pokemon could participate in the battles, or at least have a chance to fight.
So, instead of using one team of Pokemon from start to finish like others, Shizuru prepared to switch up his team.
When the initial ranking was lower, the opponents might not be as strong.
At that time, he could let his partners, Eevee, Butterfree, and Miltank, take the field.
If they lost, it wouldn't matter; later, he could ask the other Pokemon to raise the ranking, and there wouldn't be a problem.
Once the ranking improved, he could let Zhenyifafa, Frosty Milk Fairy, and Frost Fairy take the field.
Moving up further, they would be close to the Master level. At that time, Rapid Dragon, Babudippo, and Motolizard could make their appearance.
If things went smoothly, he could advance to the ranks of the Eight Greats and compete with Akado, Dago, Kyorona, and others for the final championship.
At that time, it would be up to Riding Goat, Rapid Dragon, Babudippo, Gogoat, Rayquaza, and Motolizard.
With this arrangement, all the Pokemon in the ranch would have a chance to experience the feeling of a large-scale competition.
After making this decision, Shizuru shared his plan with Kyabana that evening.
Kyabana was very supportive.
"Great! When you reach the finals, I'll take a day off from the Chief and bring Xiao Shu with me to watch your match!"
Shizuru chuckled, "Do you really think I can make it to the finals?"
"Of course!" Kyabana smiled, "You're Shizuru, after all!"
With his wife's support, Shizuru's confidence soared.
The next morning, he left the ranch in the care of the Ai Guan siblings and headed to the Galer region with the Pokemon.
At 8 a.m., Shizuru arrived at Palace Gate City.
From a distance, he saw a vast city standing on the plains of the Galer region.
Palace Gate City is located in the northern part of the Galer region and is the largest city in the area. Tall outer walls stand at the end of the road, and the hexagonal walls surround the entire city. There's a grand gate adorned with a crown at the base of the walls, and a highway passes through the gate, leading into the city.
The city is filled with towering skyscrapers, and modern monorails are found throughout.
Looking up, you can often see a flock of Blue Crows circling in the sky.
The streets are bustling, with almost every person accompanied by a Pokemon, and the shops on both sides of the road are brightly lit, adorned with banners featuring photos of Flame Emperor.
Even the electronic billboards on the skyscrapers flash photos of the Eight Greats.
"It's spectacular!" Shizuru couldn't help but exclaim softly at the sight.
He usually spends his days in the ranch, mostly enjoying the tranquil and beautiful pastoral scenery. But now, suddenly arriving in Palace Gate City, it felt like he had stepped into another world.
This scene couldn't help but evoke a sense of awe, befitting a Pokemon world where battles are the mainstream! The spectacle was no less impressive than the Olympics of his previous life!
"Gogoat, let's go to the Palace Gate Arena!" Shizuru said, as Flame Emperor was already waiting for them there.
"Ah-gah!"
Shizuru mounted Gogoat and, with the guidance of Rotom Phone, flew into the sky. In just a few minutes, they smoothly arrived at the Palace Gate Arena.
It was a gigantic building resembling a flower, with various facilities in front of the arena.
There was a Pokemon Center providing healing services for trainers, stalls selling various Poke Balls and Galer region specialties, and flags fluttering in front of the arena. People stood around, excitedly chatting about yesterday's match.
Several people, who seemed to be trainers, immediately turned their attention to them upon seeing Gogoat.
As elite trainers, they keenly sensed the aura of a strong trainer emanating from that man.
Shizuru didn't pay too much attention to it. He took out his phone, preparing to contact Flame Emperor.
Before he could send the message, he heard Flame Emperor's cheerful voice.
"Hey, Shizuru, over here!"
Shizuru lifted his head and saw Dante standing not far away on the main road, waving at him.
The people around noticed Dante, and their eyes immediately sparkled with excitement.
"It's the Champion!"
"Wow! I never thought I would see the Champion here! So exciting!"
"Sir Champion, can you sign my photo?"
"Sure!" Dante, who is generally quite friendly, took the photo from the fan and quickly signed his name on it.
After handing the photo back, Dante ran over to Shizuru.
"You finally made it!"
Shizuru smiled and said, "No wonder you're the strongest Champion of the Galer Region!"
Hearing this, Dante scratched his head bashfully. "Alright, let's go! I've already registered you. Now, let's go inside, and I'll introduce you to the procedures!"
"Thanks a lot," Shizuru nodded.
Dante smiled and then turned his gaze to Gogoat. "It's been a while, Gogoat!"
"Aa garrr!"
The two of them walked towards the Palace Gate Arena, and many people saw this scene and looked surprised.
"Who's that person? He seems very familiar with the Champion!"
"And the Champion came out to greet him personally!"
"Ah, I really want to know. Could he be a Champion from another region?"
"..."
Inside the Palace Gate Arena, a Pokemon battle was raging on.
Dante led Shizuru to a raised platform and watched the match below with him.
Dante: "Oh, right, you can download the Pokemon Trainer app. There, you can check your ranking and match schedule. You have a match this afternoon, so do your best!"
Shizuru nodded, took out his Rotom Phone, and downloaded the app, registering his Trainer identity.
Soon, he saw his ranking on the app.
[Trainer Name: Shizuru
Ranking: 99
Level: Advanced
Next Match Time: July 28th, 2:00 PM at the Palace Gate Arena, please enter through the No. 5 Contestant Passage.
Rotom Tip: Do your best in battles to improve your ranking! Once you reach No. 9, you can challenge the Eight Greats!]
"I see," Shizuru nodded. 2 PM... plenty of time.
Since it's his first match, he decided to send out a few specific Pokemon.
"By the way, have you already decided which Pokemon to send out for battle?" Dante asked, quite eagerly.
He planned to watch Shizuru's match in the afternoon, and not just this one, but all of Shizuru's matches afterward!
However, Shizuru smiled mysteriously. "It's a secret."
Dante: "..."
"By the way, have the Champions from other regions arrived yet?" Shizuru asked.
Dante nodded. "I only saw Akado and Kyorona earlier, but don't worry! They'll all show up when the Master Tournament starts!"
Akado is already here?
Thinking about Akado's team, Shizuru suddenly had a mischievous idea—should he form a team of six Rapid Dragons to battle Akado?
The giant Rapid Dragon from Rapid Dragon Island, his own Rapid dragon, and four more Rapid Dragons.
"..."
Or maybe not. He got the feeling that such a lineup would be too mocking.
Putting away his Rotom phone, shizuru said to dante. "Thanks!"
dante couldn't hold back his curiosity. "So, can you tell me which Pokemon you're planning to send out in your match this afternoon?"
"you'll find out this afternoon." Shizuru still chose to keep it a secret.
"Alright then." dante was quite disappointed, but he perked up soon enough. After all, it's not long now!
After understanding the rules of the Pokemon World championship, Shizuru bid dante farewell. He took Gogoat and watched a few matches in the audience seats, then returned to the ranch to prepare for his lunch and come back later.
After he left, the matches at the palace gate arena continued.
the arena was packed with people, and cheers echoed throughout the venue.
after the two contestants from thePrevious Round left thearena, the referee in the center of the arena looked at his phone screen, then raised the microphone and announced to the crowd:
"Next, let's welcome the advanced level trainers for the next round!"
"First, we have Omilen from the Kalos region!"
A young man with an air of arrogance walked out from the contestant passage, dressed in luxurious clothing.
"Next, we have Darkto from the Sinnoh region, the champion of the Lily of the valley conference!"
Then, a man with long grayish-blue hair and a red cloak slowly walked out from the other contestant passage.
