Chapter 655: The Mysterious Visitor

Chapter 655: The Mysterious Visitor

Three days later, on a calm and sunny afternoon, the Master Class Quarter-Finals began.

The first match featured the Sinnoh Region Champion Kyorona against the Dragon Master Dorasena from the Kalos Region.

Unlike the Advanced Class matches, the Quarter-Finals abandoned the random battle rule and adopted a three-on-three singles battle format.

The four winners would advance to the Semi-Finals.

Shizuru stayed at the ranch, watching the entire match with Gogoat and the others.

Kyorona started with the Sea-Rabbit Pokemon, facing Dorasena's Soundwaveon. She successfully defeated the Soundwaveon with a strategy of Muddy Current and Self-Regeneration.

As expected, her heavily injured Sea-Rabbit Pokemon was defeated by Dorasena's second Pokemon, the Toxic Algae Dragon.

Kyorona then sent out Menas, who successfully won the battle against the Toxic Algae Dragon.

Facing Dorasena's final Pokemon, the Mega Sevensky Bird, Menas performed exceptionally well, battling the Sevensky Bird until both Pokemon were knocked out.

With all three of Dorasena's Pokemon unable to continue fighting and Kyorona still having one Pokemon left, Shizuru muttered, "As I expected, Kyorona won the match."

With the battle concluded, the first Quarter-Final match came to an end.

The next match, Dante vs. Chipana's "Rival" showdown, would take place the following day.

Even before the match began, Shizuru had already seen through everything.

Undoubtedly, Chipana would lose the match, as Dante's win rate in major tournaments remained at a terrifying 100% so far.

However, the final rule for the championship was a 6v6 full battle.

Before that, he needed to decide on the Pokemon he would use in the upcoming matches.

For the subsequent battles, Shizuru didn't plan to rely on Rayquaza and Kyurem; instead, he prepared to use his own main Pokemon.

Riding Goat, Riding Goat, Riding Goat, Swift Dragon, Pupitar, Gogoat.

Currently, in the ranch, excluding the Legendary Pokemon, these Pokemon were among the strongest he had personally trained.

Even Dante would have a fighting chance against them.

However, thinking about that now seemed too early. The most important task at hand was to prepare for the match against the Dragon Messenger Atsu in six days.

"Hmm... In the World Championship, Super Evolution, Gigantamax, and Z-Moves are allowed, but Dynamax and Mega Evolution don't seem to be fully known yet, and they're not permitted in the tournament rules," Shizuru mused.

Dante's Mega Bite Shark, Kyorona's Mega Bite Shark, Carolina's Mega Sandshrew, Da's Super Goldenrod, Chipana's Gigantamax Steelix, Atsu's Gigantamax Swift Dragon...

Other competitors had Super Evolution and Gigantamax as their secret weapons, while Shizuru only had Dynamax and Z-Moves, which he couldn't even use.

However, that didn't matter. With his own Pokemon, no matter the opponent, they would strive to win the matches!

As Shizuru pondered, his Rotom Phone suddenly rang.

He opened the message and found it was from Mewtwo.

【Mewtwo: Someone else has climbed the World Tree.】

Shizuru: "?"

Another person from another world had traveled through the Mystical Maze to reach the World Tree...

Shizuru paused, then quickly stood up, preparing to go and see the situation.

Last time it was Liu Bo, but who could it be this time...

He quickly called for Gogoat and searched his room for the Arceus Phone. On his way to the World Tree, Shizuru kept swiping through the messages on the Arceus Phone, trying to identify the person.

The Arceus Phone recorded every adventure of the Pokemon in the Maze World.

Over time, it had accumulated 99+ entries. Shizuru scrolled for a long time and finally found a clue in the entries for Meowth and Pikachu.

【August 8th, Meowth and Pikachu wanted to see the outside world.】

【August 9th, Meowth and Pikachu formed the Meowth-Pikachu Exploration Team. After leaving the pub in the care of Poochyena, they entered the Time Gate.】

【August 12th, the Meowth-Pikachu Exploration Team got lost in the Mystical Maze. At a crossroads, Pikachu decided to go left!】

【September 17th, Meowth and Pikachu, lost in the maze, accidentally entered World 001.】

【September 18th, Meowth and Pikachu asked the local Pokemon about the summit, and out of curiosity, they decided to investigate.】

【September 19th, Meowth and Pikachu climbed to the Silver Summit, where they met the lone Crimson, who was surprised and friendly towards Pikachu.】

【September 20th, through the power of the Sun Iblis, Crimson learned of the two Pokemon's origins. Crimson's Pikachu also shared their struggles with training, unable to progress further.

【On September 21st, Meowth and Pikachu invited Ash and Crimson to the World Tree, telling them about the powerful Legendary Pokemon like Mewtwo, Sky High, and Regice. They also mentioned Shizuru and the mighty Pokemon he had encountered.】

【On September 22nd, Crimson, who had already reached the peak of his strength, decided to visit the World Tree to explore the unknown realm.】

【On October 2nd, Meowth and his companions safely returned to the World Tree.】

Shizuru froze in place when he saw a familiar name on the Arceus Phone screen.

It was him...! Crimson! The legendary battler, known as the strongest Trainer in the Pokemon world.

In the game, players could challenge Crimson at Silver Mountain Peak after conquering all the Gyms and defeating the Champion.

At that time, Crimson's team of six Pokemon had astonishingly reached the maximum level of 100! Before Shizuru could snap out of his daze, Gogoat had already arrived at the World Tree.

From a distance, Shizuru spotted a figure wearing a red hat and looking rather quiet in front of the Pokemon Guild.

Meowth and Pikachu noticed Shizuru approaching, and their faces lit up with joy.

"Pika, Pika!"

Hearing the commotion, Crimson turned around.

For a moment, their eyes met.

Shizuru: "..."

Crimson: "..."

Shizuru's lips twitched, and he thought to himself, "As expected."

Intrigued by this renowned figure in the Pokemon world, Shizuru, as the host, tentatively greeted Crimson.

"Welcome, Crimson," Shizuru said.

Crimson: "..."

Shizuru couldn't help but find Crimson's shocked expression amusing.

It was clear that Crimson was surprised that Shizuru seemed to know him.

Seeing Crimson's reaction, Shizuru relaxed.

With a cheerful smile, he stepped forward and introduced the current situation to Crimson.

"As you can see, you have left your world and entered another one, which can be considered a parallel universe."

"..." Crimson remained silent, deep in thought.

"This place is known as the World Tree," Shizuru explained.

"What?!?!" Crimson suddenly looked up, his face revealing a trace of astonishment.

Shizuru could easily guess Crimson's thoughts from his expression.

Crimson: "A tree? This big?!"

Shizuru smiled slightly, "Initially, it was just a small seedling, but I, along with my Pokemon, nurtured it to its current state. You could say that this place is also a home I've built with my Pokemon."

Upon learning that the tree was cultivated by the man before him, Crimson: "..."

"As for how I know about you..." Shizuru paused for a moment.

As expected, Crimson immediately turned his gaze towards Shizuru.

Shizuru remained silent, curious to see if Crimson would ask about it.

However, Crimson seemed to understand his intention and reverted to his quiet demeanor.

"..."

Shizuru: "..."

Crimson: "..."

Shizuru: "..."

Crimson: "..."

"Fine!" Shizuru gave in, feeling exasperated. "As you can see, this tree has a portal connecting to other worlds. The Pokemon living here can travel to those places and bring back information for me."

"I've heard about you long ago, but I didn't expect you to come here today."

Read the flawless version at 69 Book Bar! 6 = 9 + Book_ Bar's first release!

Crimson remained silent, deep in thought. "..."

Shizuru smiled and said, "But anyway, welcome to this world."

After saying this, Shizuru extended his hand towards Crimson.

Crimson hesitated for a moment before finally reaching out and shaking Shizuru's hand.

Shizuru smiled slightly at the gesture.

"I know why you're here," Shizuru said, "You must be here to train, right?"

Crimson: "..."

He seemed surprised that Shizuru knew everything.

"The Pokemon here are my partners."

Since Meowth and Pikachu had invited Crimson as a guest, Shizuru didn't want to let him leave without being polite. Thinking of this, Shizuru looked into Crimson's eyes and said, "You can stay here to train, but I have one condition. You must not force these Pokemon to battle you. You can only battle those who are willing to fight."

Crimson was taken aback for a moment.

His eyes quickly scanned the surrounding Pokemon, and as a Trainer, he could gauge their strength.

Battling them would be pointless for his training, so he naturally wouldn't attack them.

Crimson, unsure of what to say, chose to remain silent.

"..."

Shizuru didn't say more, and at that moment, he received a call from his sister, Ai Guan Shi, saying that Little Tree was crying and asking for his father.

After briefly explaining the situation, Shizuru left with Gogoat.

Crimson silently watched the mysterious man's retreating figure.

Meowth and Pikachu happily waved goodbye to Shizuru.

Once Shizuru's figure disappeared from sight, they grabbed Crimson's Pikachu, intending to take it to the Pokemon Pub for a drink and then to a sushi restaurant for a delicious sushi meal.

Crimson's Pikachu also noticed something.

The Pokemon living here seemed unusually friendly towards outsiders.

Allowing itself to be pulled along by Pikachu and Meowth, it turned back to gesture for Crimson to follow.

"Pika!"

Crimson snapped out of his daze, now noticing the lively group of Pokemon around him.

The atmosphere among the Pokemon in this world seemed vastly different from the one he was from.

Even Pokemon of different species could live together here.

However, what truly caught Crimson's attention was the mysterious man's mention of a place for training.

Crimson scanned the surrounding Pokemon, with no intention of battling them.

After a moment of silence, he lifted his foot and followed Pikachu, curious to see this place inhabited solely by Pokemon.

Just then, a crisp and pleasant birdcall rang out overhead.

Crimson and Pikachu, as if sharing a telepathic connection, keenly sensed the powerful aura of a formidable Pokemon. They both looked up.

A beautiful Pokemon, shimmering with rainbow-like radiance, slowly descended onto a branch above.

Crimson: "!!!"

At that moment, a dragon's roar echoed from above, followed by a pitch-black, serpentine figure with a terrifying aura soaring into the sky.

Crimson, stunned: "..."

Those were...

Pikachu also noticed the two Pokemon.

Seeing it pause, Meowth and Pikachu turned back, then followed its gaze upwards.

Pikachu happily introduced them: "Pika!" (That's Regice and Sky High, our companions living on the World Tree!)

Crimson's Pikachu was shocked. It thought of the mysterious man and asked, "Pika?"

Pikachu remembered Shizuru using Poke Balls to contain everyone and nodded, "Pikachu!" (Yes! We're all Shizuru's Pokemon!)

Crimson's Pikachu: "!!!"

Pikachu looked up at Regice and said excitedly, "Pika!" (Regice will protect us too! Not just Regice, but also Sky High, Mewtwo, Kyogre, and Groudon—all incredibly powerful Pokemon!)

Crimson's Pikachu was now thoroughly astonished.

According to Pikachu, the mentioned Mewtwo, Kyogre, and Groudon were as powerful as the Regice above. Pikachu turned to it and added, "Pikachu? Pika!" (I'm right, aren't I? Training here will definitely make you stronger!)

Hearing this, Crimson's Pikachu looked back at its Trainer.

Their gazes met in midair.

The next moment, Crimson understood Pikachu's intention.

Crimson's eyes lit up with determination. He looked up, realizing that this place could truly help him train!

At that moment, the mysterious man's words echoed in his mind, and he understood the significance of what the man had said earlier.

After returning to the ranch, Shizuru's attention was quickly drawn to the upcoming matches.

On October 6th, the second quarterfinal match officially began.

Dae vs. Kyorona, and as expected, Dae emerged victorious.

On October 7th, the third quarterfinal match took place.

Dae vs. Carolina, with Dae ultimately securing the win. Dae's Mega Steelix was indeed a formidable opponent.

On October 8th, the fourth quarterfinal match, Shizuru vs. Atsu, was held at 9 a.m.

Shizuru arrived at the venue early.

Meanwhile, at the Pokemon Pub on the World Tree, a group of Pokemon gathered around Rotom, ready to watch Shizuru's match.

"Woof!" (Hurry, Shizuru's match is about to start!)

One by one, the Pokemon brought wooden stools, large stones, and tree stumps, forming a circle in the pub's hall, their eyes glued to the screen of the Rotom Phone like they were watching a movie.

Crimson, sensing something unusual, decided to investigate and entered the pub with Pikachu.

Soon, he spotted a peculiar machine in front of the group of Pokemon.

Crimson had never seen such a machine before.

It seemed to merge with the Pokemon, and on the screen, he recognized the mysterious man he had encountered earlier, seemingly participating in a match.
