Chapter 648: Are You a Legendary Pokemon Trainer Too?
Chapter 648: Are You a Legendary Pokemon Trainer Too?
Is it the masked Eguipo, wielding a large stick?
Or Caesar, the golden-clad man who fights with coins?
Or perhaps the one with three mountain goat mounts? Or will he directly use his main Pokemon, Rayquaza and Babutbo, in the upcoming battle? Shizuru was momentarily indecisive but didn't dwell on it, as he still had some time before his next match to decide based on the actual situation.
The following morning, as Shizuru was picnicking with Little Tree and their Pokemon in the ranch, his Rotom Phone in his pocket suddenly rang.
He took it out and saw that it was Dante calling.
He answered the call, and Dante's face appeared on the screen.
"Dante?" Shizuru was a bit surprised, wondering why Dante was calling at this time.
Dante smiled and asked, "By the way, Shizuru, have you seen that popular post online recently?"
Shizuru tilted his head, "A post?"
Dante nodded and said, "Yes, it's about the Advanced Level competition you're currently participating in! So far, besides you, there's another strong contender, a popular seed player with the potential to challenge the Eight Greats. I think you'd be interested in him."
"Oh?"
A popular seed player? Who could it be? Shizuru couldn't help but fall into deep thought...
It had been a year since Ash's Eight Greats tournament.
As far as he knew, young trainers like Alain, Alice, and Corine hadn't come to compete yet.
There was no information in the anime about the list of participants from the previous tournament.
Shizuru couldn't think of any possibilities, so he asked with great interest, "Who is it?"
"Have you heard of the Bell Conference?" Dante asked.
"Of course, isn't that the League Conference held in the Sinnoh Region?" Shizuru nodded.
But as soon as he finished speaking, an incredible guess popped into his mind.
Could the person Dante mentioned be...
"That player, who participated in the League Conference and won the championship with just two Pokemon, crushing his opponents with overwhelming strength," Dante introduced. "And it's said that in the final stage, he defeated his opponent's six main Pokemon with just one of his own!"
Dante continued, "His name is Dakudo, and like you, he also has several Legendary Pokemon, including the Nightmare God Darkrai and the infinite Pokemon Latios!"
Hearing this, Shizuru was quite surprised.
It was indeed him!
Seeing Shizuru's silence, Dante continued, "Tsk, Dakudo is also a dark horse in the World Championship! Just like the Bell Conference, he has only used Darkrai and Latios so far and has made it to the 68th place in the Advanced Level."
"According to the World Championship rules, you two undefeated trainers will likely face each other soon."
Shizuru: "..."
Dakudo is also participating in this World Championship.
After a brief moment of surprise, Shizuru quickly regained his composure and nodded, "I understand. I'll prepare in advance."
Using Rayquaza and Gogoat against other ordinary trainers might be a bit unfair, but against another trainer with Legendary Pokemon, it wouldn't be considered bullying, right? Rayquaza was eager to join the battle, so this would be a good opportunity.
"Hmm, if it's a 3v3 battle, the Legendary Pokemon in the ranch would be just enough," Shizuru thought to himself.
Rayquaza, Gogoat, Eguipo, and Tauros would be the four.
Leocrown was also an option, but he had a special relationship with Shizuru, more like friends than a typical trainer-Pokemon bond.
However, in a World Championship that attracts worldwide attention, Leocrown's appearance would undoubtedly garner a massive wave of faith power.
With that in mind, Shizuru made his decision.
It would be a perfect opportunity for a full-on Legendary Pokemon battle with Dakudo.
Dante didn't know what decision Shizuru had made in just a few breaths.
Looking at Shizuru on the screen, Dante smiled and continued, "By the way, regarding the two of you, the World Championship officials have received numerous requests from viewers. Everyone hopes that if you and Dakudo face each other, the battle rules can be changed to a 6v6 full battle."
"6v6?" Shizuru was taken aback.
"That's right," Dante nodded. "Last night, after a discussion among the event organizers, they decided to ask both of you."
Dante paused and then said excitedly, "Dakudo has already agreed, so I wanted to ask for your thoughts."
Shizuki: "..."
After a moment of thought, he asked, "Do you know if Dakudo's remaining four Pokemon that haven't been revealed are ordinary Pokemon or legendary Pokemon?"
"I don't know that," Dante shook his head. "So far, Dakudo has never revealed his last four Pokemon."
"Alright!" Shizuki nodded. Since Dakudo had already agreed to a 6v6 battle, what else was there to hesitate about?
With that thought, he replied decisively, "I agree."
Gathering the Pokemon from the ranch, they could still form a full team of divine-type Pokemon.
Tauros, Eguipo, Gogoat, Kyurem, Rayquaza, and Leocrown.
Hearing Shizuki's response, a smile appeared on Dante's face. "Alright, since that's the case, I'll go inform the event organizers. Oh, and Dakudo has a message for you."
"What is it?"
"He said, 'Don't fall before you face me!'"
Shizuki was taken aback but quickly smiled, "In that case, I have something to say to him too."
"Oh? What is it?" Dante was very curious.
"At that time, I'll definitely give you a big surprise," Shizuki said.
Surprise? Dante was a bit surprised but readily agreed, "Alright, I'll make sure to pass on your message."
After hanging up the call, Dante went to inform the event organizers, while Shizuki prepared to continue playing with his daughter.
The sky was a clear blue, with fluffy white clouds floating above.
On the ranch's grass, a blanket was spread out, and on it were a picnic basket, various snacks, and a pile of toys.
Little Tree sat on the blanket, playing with toys alongside Flame Worm, Frost Fairy, and other Pokemon.
Milktanks wandered around, constantly helping to carry snacks and food for everyone.
Shizuki, along with Gogoat and the others, sat on one side, smiling as they watched Little Tree and the Pokemon play with the toys.
Behind Little Tree, Thunder God, Suikun, and Flame Emperor were lying on the soft grass, their large heads turned towards Shizuki.
Flame Emperor asked, "Do you need our help?"
It was clear they had overheard the conversation.
Shizuki was startled, then smiled and shook his head, "This time, I won't trouble the three of you."
Compared to the Three Holy Beasts, Shizuki believed that Tauros, Eguipo, and the others would be more eager to prove themselves on that stage.
Hearing this, the Three Holy Beasts nodded.
Everyone had their own responsibilities.
Shizuki was going to participate in a human competition.
Their responsibility was to follow Ho-Oh's instructions, stay at the ranch, and take care of the future Rainbow Hero.
"Daddy!"
Little Tree suddenly raised a Poke Ball and threw it towards Shizuki.
Shizuki quickly snapped out of his thoughts and instinctively caught the toy Poke Ball.
"Fly!" Little Tree imitated the gesture of a Trainer throwing a Poke Ball in battle.
Children love to imitate.
This little girl must have been watching the World Championship with Ai Guan Shi and the others these days, and now she was imitating the Trainers throwing Poke Balls in the competition.
Shizuki pretended to be hit hard, groaning "Oof!" as he clutched his chest, which had been hit by the ball, and fell backward, landing on Gogoat.
Little Tree thought her father was playing with her and couldn't help but giggle.
Time passed, and Shizuki showed no reaction.
Little Tree finally realized something was wrong. Her smile disappeared, and she stumbled to her feet, running towards Shizuki.
"Daddy?"
Shizuki opened his eyes slightly, and while Little Tree was crouched beside him checking on him, he pinched her armpit and lifted her high into the air.
"Wow!" Little Tree was startled.
But soon, she realized her father was teasing her.
So, she frowned and accused, "Daddy, you're mean!"
"Alright, alright, Daddy was just playing with you!" Shizuki put Little Tree down, leaning on Gogoat, and they both looked at her.
Little Tree huffed, clearly upset.
Seeing this, Shizuki picked up his daughter, saying, "Let Gogoat take us to see the stars above the clouds, okay?"
Shizuki held Little Tree and rode on Gogoat, who obligingly spread its wings and flew into the sky.
At first, Little Tree was a bit angry, but soon her attention was drawn to the ever-changing scenery around her.
The ground gradually receded, and a warm, gentle breeze caressed her face. Clouds appeared around them, looking as soft and white as cotton candy.
Despite the height, Little Tree felt no fear as she leaned against her father.
Her gaze was completely drawn to the clouds around them.
"Wow!"
Although it was daytime and there were no stars, the deep blue sky was breathtaking and awe-inspiring.
In the vast expanse beyond the ranch, there lies an endless world waiting to be explored by Little Tree when he grows up.
On the morning of August 10, 204, at 10 AM, Shizuki's fourth match officially began. This time, his opponent wasn't Dakudo, but a girl with a Hunting Butterfly. Shizuki didn't use a Legendary Pokemon in the battle, instead sending out his second Stunfisk.
Unsurprisingly, Shizuki won the match, advancing from 79th to 75th place.
On August 12th, in the fifth match, the third and fourth Stunfisk faced off against Kentaro, and Shizuki advanced from 75th to 69th place.
On August 15th, in the sixth match, the fourth and fifth Stunfisk joined the battle, easily defeating their opponents, and Shizuki advanced from 69th to 63rd place.
Time flew by, and before they knew it, it was September 25, 204. During this time, Shizuki hadn't encountered Dakudo. However, he wasn't surprised, as in such highly anticipated matches, the organizers would want to prolong the excitement, waiting for the perfect moment.
Another crucial Pokemon battle was about to begin, and this time, Shizuki sent out Saltalora. The once small Saltalora had now transformed into a powerful Saltalora.
On the highly anticipated stage, Saltalora demonstrated its formidable strength, crushing all opponents in its path, helping Shizuki advance to the 10th place in the Advanced Class.
Just one step away from the Eight Greats.
Amidst the enthusiastic cheers from the audience, Shizuki turned to face the crowd and then headed back to the Player's Room. There, a man with grayish-blue hair, wearing a red tank top, was leaning against the wall, waiting for him.
"I've been waiting for you for a long time," Dakudo said, his eyes burning with intensity.
He had already advanced to 9th place a few days ago, earning the right to challenge the 8th-place player for a position swap. However, he had refused the offer, choosing to wait for Shizuki, the man chosen by the Legendary Pokemon, to challenge him for that position.
The winner of their battle would then face the 8th-place player for the swap.
"Dakudo..." Shizuki looked at him and smiled, "In fact, I've heard of your name a long time ago. I never thought I'd have the chance to battle you here today."
"What?"
"Your performance at the Bell Conference that year left a deep impression on me," Shizuki said.
Dakudo was taken aback, and a smile appeared on his proud face. "Then let's have an intense battle!"
"Let's see what happens," Shizuki smiled.
All his strength... Was Dakudo planning to send out all his Legendary Pokemon?
If that was the case, he would have to bring out his full strength as well.
In the blink of an eye, time flew by, and it was September 29th, the last day of the World Championship Qualifiers, as well as the crucial battle for the position swap.
On this day, the entire Palace Gate Arena was already packed with people, and even outside the arena, fans from all over the world had gathered.
Up on the high platform, Dante, Chipana, Dae, Atsu, Kyorona, Carolina, and others were gathered, ready to witness this critical battle.
In the audience, Chi Tree held Little Tree, with her sister Ai Guan Shi, Motolizard, Caesar, and other Pokemon by her side, eagerly watching the stage below.
Little Tree's round eyes were fixed on the familiar figure on the field below.
She pointed at that person and shouted, "Daddy!"
"That's right, it's Daddy!" Chi Tree nodded excitedly, "Little Tree, today is a very important match for Daddy. Let's cheer for him!"
"Go, Daddy!" Little Tree shouted.
Her childish voice was quickly drowned out by the surrounding cheers and shouts.
However, the father and daughter shared a special bond, and Shizuki, on the arena, seemed to sense something. He turned his head and looked towards the audience.
His gaze accurately found his wife and daughter in the crowd, and he nodded at them.
Then, he turned his full attention to Dakudo, who stood across from him with a confident look on his face.
Shizuki's right hand rubbed the Poke Ball in his pocket, which contained Tauros, Eguipu, Kyurem, Rayquaza, and Leocrown.
Together with Gogoat, who stood by his side.
Dakudo, let's have a battle between Legendary Pokemon!
