Chapter 1000: Moment of Glory!!

"Champion!"

"The champion is out!"

"Congratulations on your victory! All Baimu!"

The noisy sound accompanied the crowd pouring into the player backstage like a tide, blocking All Baimu's path tightly.

Media interviewers from all sides were at the forefront of the crowd, raising their microphones and crowding forward. They stopped exactly half a meter in front of him, not daring to commit any impolite intrusion.

Pairs of bright eyes were cast over, filled with worship and reverence.

If All Baimu had mainly relied on momentum to suppress people in the past.

Then when he obtained the Champion title, even if he stood still plainly.

Everyone naturally had an extra sense of awe, like looking up at a high mountain.

To put it bluntly.

Even Jessie, the most arrogant and rude among Team Rocket, would exclaim when seeing Steven—

'Champion'!

A title belonging exclusively to the strongest.

At this moment.

Facing a newly promoted Regional Champion, before he went on stage to receive the award, everyone was looking forward to him saying something.

All Baimu looked around and said softly: "Thank you all for your support. Today, Wally and I had a very meaningful match, and it is also a match symbolizing Orre welcoming a new era..."

The speech was an early arrangement by Shan Ren.

After all, the most important work of a Regional Champion is only two things—Pokémon battles and accepting interviews.

After finishing the statement fluently.

The media from all walks of life thanked him profusely and retreated; they needed to write the interview draft as early as possible and release it to the public as soon as possible.

A group of friends and relatives surrounded him, laughing and offering congratulations.

Looking around.

Almost everyone he was familiar with was there, including Leo, Long Ren, and other defeated players.

"Thanks! Thanks!"

He was also truly grateful for this cheering squad that didn't miss a single match.

Shan Ren was nowhere to be seen.

All Baimu wasn't surprised, guessing that the prospective Chairman must have gone to find Wally.

The more depressed the other party was, the more sincere the invitation, and for a young, good-image Trainer like Wally, letting him leave Orre was simply a crime!

Sure enough.

After the friends and relatives dispersed, he, who had changed clothes in the player lounge, learned from Cheng Hong that Shan Ren had indeed run to the next room.

If it went smoothly.

Orre would soon have another young Elite Four member.

Who would they be?

As All Baimu pondered, Otsuka said sneakily: "Boss, after the Elite Four are selected, it's the Gym Leaders, right?"

He glanced sideways and said: "Should be, any ideas?"

"If the competition is fierce, do you think there will be a selection match? And I, who performed poorly in the Assembly, will suddenly rise and be handpicked by Chairman Shan Ren to become the Gym Leader of Huang Tie Town—"

Otsuka put on an expression similar to a goblin stroking his chin.

"..."

All Baimu was speechless, just patted his shoulder lightly.

Cheng Hong sighed and covered his mouth, dragging him away mercilessly, "Don't drink so much in broad daylight, just talking nonsense!"

After the two walked away.

A pretty voice rang out suddenly.

"Apprentice~"

All Baimu looked up at the sound; the person in front of him was none other than Lisia.

Among those he was familiar with, only she would use such a form of address.

The girl smiled and moved the gift box with gorgeous packaging from behind her back.

She said slowly: "Congratulations on taking another big step toward your dream!"

"Thanks."

All Baimu was a bit flattered as he took it, never expecting the first congratulatory gift to be received from Lisia.

Lisia: "I was worried I wouldn't have a chance to give it to you later... you can open it!"

Thus.

Under the gift packaging.

A brand new tie appeared before his eyes.

"This is the unanimous suggestion of Uncle, Master, and Grandpa Sebastian! How is it?"

Lisia stirred her hands gently.

All Baimu touched the silky fabric and thanked her again: "Very good! I like it very much!"

It was the first time he had received a gift like a tie.

The color tone matched the magma outfit he was wearing extremely well; it was very obvious that it had been carefully selected.

Hearing All Baimu's affirmative response, Lisia returned to her relaxed and happy state, put her hands on her hips, and pretended to be serious:

"Satisfied is good~ Apprentice! Your performance really makes the master gratified! My fighting spirit has also been ignited by you!"

"Fighting spirit... oh!"

All Baimu knew immediately that the Hoenn Grand Festival was about to be held, and Lisia was aiming for the title of Top Coordinator this year.

He quickly said: "I wish you success! I will definitely go to the scene to watch the match!"

"Humph humph! Just you wait and see!"

Lisia clenched her fists confidently, matching her proud expression, looking full of heroic spirit.

Speaking of which.

Besides being "master and apprentice," "senior and junior," the two were also former rivals.

The Wallace Cup and the Grand Festival, two grand finals, were both unfolded by both sides in extremely fierce battles.

Until All Baimu left with a full victory and stopped participating in Pokémon Contests.

"It won't be long before we have a chance to compete on the same stage again!" Lisia issued a challenge in advance.

The Pokémon Contest mode had changed, and as the one most skilled in gorgeous performances, it was almost impossible for her to lose!

All Baimu nodded: "Always ready."

While chatting.

Shan Ren's figure appeared outside, knocked on the door panel, and reminded: "Get up, time to go."

The awards podium was completed.

All Baimu put the gift box and old clothes together and asked: "Have Aggron and the others finished treatment?"

Shan Ren: "You want to be with the Pokémon?"

"Of course, this isn't a victory I won alone; all the Pokémon that have contributed should enjoy this honor with me!"

All Baimu said seriously.

Shan Ren nodded slightly to Lisia next to him, and said again: "With such good eloquence, go to the Silicon Beryllium City Square tonight to give a speech. I'll give you enough freedom to play, and you aren't allowed to come down until you've spoken for an hour."

All Baimu: "..."

The prospective Chairman had such strong aggressiveness!

——

Inside the main venue.

Fifty thousand plus spectators still hadn't left.

They were noisy and lively, sharing their live viewing experiences on the internet and participating in various discussions.

The big screen was replaying the wonderful moments of the Assembly, not only the final, but also the semi-finals and quarter-finals, and even the preliminary rounds and qualifiers.

After half a month, many scenes were still so shocking.

Through this review, many spectators discovered that All Baimu's presence was surprisingly high.

From eliminating a hundred people in the qualifiers, to the Legendary Pokémon battle in the preliminary round, to the invincible posture in the final.

Every round was fought exceptionally brilliantly, and every opponent was by no means an ordinary person, yet they were easily cut down by him.

Multiple clearly visible match replays were all proving that All Baimu possessed strength surpassing all contestants, which also allowed him and his Pokémon to always crush their opponents.

【A well-deserved champion!】

【Orre? Can such a remote region also nurture a Trainer of this level?】

【What a terrifying Aggron! Gallade's attacks had no effect at all... hard to imagine!】

【Being able to capture Legendary Pokémon, it's normal to have this kind of strength, right?】

【Holy crap! Steven specifically posted to congratulate him!】

【Steven? Is that the Hoenn Champion Steven?】

Complex information flew by one by one.

Among them, several particularly conspicuous ones directed people to the official account of Hoenn Champion Steven.

【Warmly congratulate my good friend All Baimu on becoming the winner of the first Orre Assembly and the first Champion of the Orre region!】

Steven.

A strong champion who liked to run around the world collecting stones.

An official account that might not move once in half a year, specifically posted for All Baimu!

Before the netizens started scrolling, Wallace next door also posted.

Afterward, Galar Champion Leon, Hammerlocke Gym Leader Raihan, and many other Trainers who were in the limelight were all posting congratulations!

What an honor!

Ordinary people couldn't even substitute themselves into it, only feeling a sense of wanting to wake up from a dream laughing.

They could only sigh that strong people were indeed connected to each other.

When some people were still wondering where All Baimu popped out from, he was a pearl buried in the desert.

In reality, champions and gym leaders had already established friendly relations with him long ago.

You were the one who was out of the loop!

Half an hour after the final ended.

The noise in the audience was no less than at the opening, and when more and more people praised and marveled at All Baimu's strength, they inexplicably felt a sense of honor.

Someone shouted: "He's here, he's here! He's back!"

The audience looked out and saw All Baimu walking slowly out of the player tunnel.

But he wasn't alone.

Aggron and other Pokémon were also following All Baimu left and right!

In an instant.

Cheers and shouts resounded through the sky!

The audience welcomed All Baimu and his partners to the stage in the most enthusiastic form!

Kappu Xiong Xiong's voice appeared again, he shouted:

"Spectator friends! Let us welcome the Orre region Champion Team! The one at the very front—is All Baimu and his ace! The immovable Aggron!"

As the words fell.

The big screen showed All Baimu and Aggron waving to all four sides.

"Following closely behind is—the dragon that fought Ho-Oh and didn't lose! Hydreigon!"

"Sha-sang!!"

Hydreigon raised its head and roared, intensifying the cheers and screams in the audience.

Many people admired this powerful Pokémon very much.

"The terrifying giant that stirred up sandstorms and dug through the ground in the qualifiers! Steelix!"

"Ha-hong!"

The giant Steelix's voice was like thunder.

Although it hadn't been able to fight again afterward, the scene of eliminating groups of contestants with Earthquake during the qualifiers was deeply rooted in people's hearts.

"Steelix's head! The young lady who fights as gracefully as dancing! Mawile!"

"Qi-duo~"

Mawile sat gracefully, basically only waving to the location of the cheering squad.

But the clean and neat defeat of the enemy in the semi-finals still earned it a pile of fanatical admirers.

"The combination symbolizing gentle healing—Blissey! Milotic!"

Blissey and the Shiny Milotic smiled brightly and greeted the audience generously. Ordinary people probably couldn't imagine that this was a pair of sisters who were insensitive and didn't like to use their brains.

"The ever-changing Porygon2! The mysterious Corsola!"

Porygon2, which had turned into a plane, carried the Galar Corsola and glided into the arena, circling around Steelix.

With Porygon phones being popular, it no longer had to rack its brains to promote its own species, and could do whatever it wanted!

And before Kappu Xiong Xiong could introduce.

The Shiny Gengar took the initiative to fly above the partners' heads, flying higher than Steelix, and suddenly released 【Flash】, which wasn't dazzling but very bright!

"Gen~ga! Mao Jie-xi-xi-xi!"

"Xi-ya~"

"Xi-ya!"

The two Dreepy circled around it, just like a star ring dancing around a planet.

The audience burst into laughter, and Kappu Xiong Xiong also laughed:

"That's right, how could we miss our quirky little partner Gengar? And the two cute Dreepy! Huh? Where is Dragapult?"

Dragapult wasn't in the team—

Just as the audience was confused.

The timid Dragapult appeared by All Baimu's side, carefully hooking his arm with its tail.

Like a dog that had done something bad.

Kappu Xiong Xiong couldn't help but say: "It seems the handsome Dragapult doesn't like lively scenes!"

That was what he said.

The audience's enthusiasm wouldn't be reduced by even a bit.

Just as everyone thought everyone was present, the ground suddenly shook, and immediately after, five different lights shone from the dark part of the player tunnel.

Whoosh!

"Bi (Long)——"

One red and one yellow light streaked out, passing All Baimu, Aggron, and other Pokémon at high speed, and stopped on both sides of the awards podium.

Followed by.

"Ji ji ji——"

"Hum hum hum——" 【1000-

"Doo-doo-doo—"

The Rock, Ice, and Steel Legendary Giants moved their heavy steps, exposing themselves to the sunlight!

The five great Legendary Giants gathered in one place!

The audience present was simply going crazy; when had everyone ever seen such an impressive award ceremony with their own eyes?

All Baimu, guarded by the five great giants and numerous Pokémon, appeared exceptionally majestic even though his stature was far from as tall as theirs.

A mortal body, comparable to the gods!

The staff in charge of the award ceremony were also stunned, but Shan Ren, who was holding the trophy, was not.

"Why didn't you call Calyrex over too?"

"That shout Calyrex let out earlier was already its limit."

The two exchanged glances.

Regarding the matter of enjoying the cheers of the masses, Calyrex had a certain psychological shadow.

One must know that the snowy path leading to the Crown Shrine was once a road of pilgrimage for the masses, and their reverence for the King of Bountiful Harvests made them willing to kneel and crawl all the way up.

It wasn't until Calyrex personally came to stop them that they were willing to stand up and walk.

That group of lovely people hurt it the most.

Calyrex naturally could not appear before the crowd again.

All Baimu walked onto the podium, solemn symphonic music boomed, and Aggron and the other Pokémon instinctively found their positions.

Behemoths like Steelix would take the initiative to lie down and act as a base to prevent exceeding the "picture frame."

The five great giants stood like five heroic statues, acting as the most luxurious backdrop.

All Baimu sat on top of Steelix's head, as if placed upon a throne.

Shan Ren solemnly handed over the championship trophy, and beautiful young ladies approached from both sides; one draped a pristine white champion's cloak over him, and the other placed a golden laurel wreath upon his head.

"Let us cheer and applaud to our hearts' content to celebrate the birth of Orre's first champion!"

Clatter, clatter—

The applause was continuous, one wave higher than the next!

Suddenly.

A melodious cry came from afar.

"Chao-wu—!!"

Above the venue.

The miraculous and magnificent Lugia mother and child circled and danced, driving a gentle breeze.

Mist-like white clouds sprinkled scattered raindrops, which emitted a moving halo under the illumination of the sunlight.

Forming a beautiful rainbow.

Countless spectators were intoxicated by this, recording this moment with their phones; even after ten or twenty years, when they look back at it, the memory will still feel fresh.

A great moment!

An unprecedented viewing experience!
