Chapter 1087: The Ancestor Goes to Battle!

No matter which world it is.

A hero's feat can always strike a chord in others' hearts.

The survivors spread the armored youth's heroic actions far and wide, and before long, the entire Anistar City knew that during the avalanche disaster, there was a youth who disregarded his own safety to save eight people from danger.

Strangely, because he had taken off his heavy armor, no one knew his noble status.

The armored youth was indeed honest, but he wasn't so bored as to tell everyone he met that he was a noble.

【You do not get carried away by the praise, knowing that compassion is one of the knightly virtues】

He kept his mission in mind and headed straight for the eighth Gym after visiting the local nobility.

Anistar Gym.

The Gym Leader was surprisingly a Psychic-type user.

It could be seen that the future prophet Olympia was honored as 【The One Who Opens the Path with Starlight】, and signs of this were already visible in the last century.

It's just that the prophecy in the anime was a bit funny...

Predicting Ash would reach the "top," and it really was the "top," hanging from the highest point of the Prism Tower in Lumiose City by Lysandre's machine.

【You welcome the most difficult battle】

Although he was a hero praised by everyone, the Anistar Gym Leader had no intention of holding back at all, and even brought out strength that surpassed a Gym battle.

Without a doubt.

The Anistar Gym Leader knew the armored youth's true identity.

Was he targeting him on purpose?

When the narration revealed this sentence, how could All Baimu not understand that the Anistar Gym Leader had other motives and belonged to the Lawful Good alignment?

The battle was quite intense, and the screen was full of all kinds of crude special effects.

Accompanied by the light screen shaking from time to time.

"..."

All Baimu felt it was a pity that among so many simulations, only the musician one had background music.

And Psychic-type Pokémon cultivated by Psychic users often possessed additional enhancements.

Especially in terms of mental power.

Release speed and control duration all exceeded those of Psychic-type Pokémon cultivated by ordinary people.

Fortunately, the resistance of the Steel type and the super-effectiveness of the Bug type supported the armored youth, preventing him from being humiliated.

Ferrothorn's Leech Seed and Ingrain also played a big role.

This Pokémon gifted by the Coumarine Gym Leader was stronger than the armored youth had imagined.

After going through all kinds of hardships, the armored youth finally achieved victory.

【You defeat the Anistar Gym Leader and obtain the Psychic Badge】

Eight badges in hand.

The first stage was completely finished, and the armored youth relaxed his whole body.

But at this time, the Anistar Gym Leader gave a critique.

【You hear him say that with your current level, it is very difficult to win the League Conference】

So far, the Trainers the armored youth had encountered couldn't beat him, simply because the geniuses were all actively preparing for battle and had no time to wander around.

The League was going to make a big move!

The armored youth was silent for a long time, then asked how to improve himself.

As a Psychic user, the Anistar Gym Leader pointed out the path for him—.

Based on his performance, especially the act of risking his life to save the public, the League was willing to arrange for eight Gym Leaders to provide him with special guidance.

Of course, the armored youth could refuse; it wasn't mandatory.

【You agree】

How could the armored youth refuse?

Thus.

The pre-match special training that was a matter of course began, and the armored youth would visit each Gym in turn to receive training from each Gym Leader.

"That's eight Gyms and the team still isn't full..." All Baimu watched the armored youth training his Pokémon on the screen.

He didn't choose an elite system, did he?

Fortunately, not long after, this problem was solved.

【You return to Santalune City and are caught by family elders】

Because the south of Kalos was dominated by nobles, and the armored youth liked to visit lords, he was naturally caught by his elders.

The family elders were very angry about his unauthorized actions, and upon learning that he had lost the important armor, they immediately became furious.

【You are questioned whether you are still worthy of being called a noble, called a knight】

This question didn't need him to answer.

Aegislash appeared.

Just as All Baimu imagined, this Aegislash could be called the ancestor of the armored youth's family, having fought alongside his predecessors several centuries ago.

It could be said that the armored youth's predecessors being able to become nobles had everything to do with it.

【You gain the recognition of Aegislash】

The armor was also in Aegislash's hands.

It judged that the armored youth had truly understood what knightly virtue was, recognized his goal of rebuilding the family glory, and was willing to become his aid.

【You obtain Aegislash, and the ancestor increases】

The ancestor comes out of the mountain!

The final form of 【Family Heritage】!

Now the opposing family elders were all stunned.

The armored youth put on his armor again and walked toward a brand-new path shining with glory.

Unexpectedly.

Aegislash completed the integration with him in a very short time, and the progress was no less than an ancestor possessing him.

Eight Gyms kept rotating, either learning new moves or learning new tactical routines.

To express 【Justice】, one of the virtues, the armored youth actually revealed a small part of the Pokémon cultivation methods he had learned himself, such as his insights on cultivating Steel-type Pokémon like Scizor.

Information exchange was realized.

And as he trained at various Gyms, his fame gradually spread.

Whether nobles or commoners, everyone knew such a youth.

The evaluation... was mixed.

Some nobles thought he was a traitor, while others felt he was slapping the faces of those self-righteous commoners.

The commoners were about the same; some admired him, others were hostile.

【You are happy to see this situation】

The armored youth never wanted his family to become a target of public criticism, but he knew this day would come sooner or later.

Being able to fish in troubled waters was the best.

The full-form armored youth led his all-Steel team to grow all the way.

As the saying goes, an old person in the family is like a treasure; the Aegislash ancestor was also truly powerful, and even the full-form Gym Leaders were amazed by it.

The scene changed.

The second League Conference was held.

The venue was located in the center of Kalos—Lumiose City.

Just as the Anistar Gym Leader said, the armored youth saw many new faces.

【You understand that what comes next is the main event】

The conference opened.

The narration stated that a total of over a hundred people had obtained qualification to participate, which was more than the armored youth had estimated.

Because of his existence, even many nobles who rejected the conference came to watch.

They were forced to accept watching a social sport that originally belonged to them with commoners, just to see the armored youth vent their anger for them.

"So abstract..."

All Baimu was speechless, but once he thought about how there were indeed many strange people in the anime, like James's parents and fiancée, he immediately felt it was normal.

Preliminary rounds.

The armored youth unexpectedly encountered a strong opponent.

Although it was a three-on-three, it made the Pokémon of both sides fight until the last moment, forcing him to release his big move in advance—

Ancestor... pfft, sword come!

Only then did he defeat this powerful opponent.

And after the match, the armored youth learned that this person was highly expected by many and was called a seeded player.

【You successfully break through the preliminary rounds】

"This is the cruelty of random matching." All Baimu shook his head.

He was very worried about this point when he participated in the Ever Grande Conference and the Orre Conference, so the more it was the preliminary rounds, the more he had to send out stronger Pokémon.

The margin for error was too low!

Preliminary round stage.

The armored youth found that almost every contestant held great hostility toward him.

【You clearly eliminated a powerful competitor for them, yet you became their common enemy instead】

The armored youth couldn't help but sigh, but his will didn't waver at all.

【You know you shoulder a heavy mission】

First round of the preliminary rounds.

The opponent fought very hard, but their strength was far from that of the seed in the preliminary rounds.

Therefore, even if the armored youth didn't ask the ancestor to take action, relying only on Bisharp, Klefki, and Probopass, he could still successfully advance to the next round.

The second round was the same.

By the third round, the armored youth encountered another powerful opponent.

【You fight a bitter battle with him for a long time】

If it weren't for Scizor luckily learning Roost from the Dendemille Gym Leader, this battle would likely have been his defeat.

【You successfully advance to the final tournament】

The tournament started from the top eight.

The six-on-six full battle elimination tournament made the armored youth a little nervous.

Fortunately, Scizor and the ancestor were both very capable; one symbolized the armored youth's hard work, and the other was the family's foundation.

Of course.

Other Pokémon were also silently contributing.

Klefki, who flexibly used Prankster; Bisharp, who became "stressed" when intimidated and used Defiant; Probopass, which attacked with four units at the same time; and Ferrothorn, which could counterattack others after being beaten.

Steel-type Pokémon could always take advantage of the defensive side.

The armored youth fought more and more easily, while his opponents felt more and more pressure; even if they sent out Fire-type and Fighting-type Pokémon, they still couldn't output normally.

One battle after another, it directly became the armored youth's solo show.

【You successfully advance to the semifinals】

The noble side was jubilant because of the armored youth's outstanding performance, while the commoner side's expressions were very heavy.

The armored youth was not affected by off-field factors at all and fought the match honestly.

Semifinals.

The opponent was very nervous, and sweating bean expressions constantly appeared above his head.

It could be seen that he really wanted to win.

It's just a pity that the armored youth now belonged to a dual-ace team; Scizor and the ancestor exerted their strength together, and the mere conference level could no longer suppress him.

King of Steel!

After the armored youth won this battle, nobles had already given him such a chuunibyou title.

【You successfully break through the semifinals】

Compared to the speed of Gym battles, the armored youth's speed in the conference appeared exceptionally slow, which showed that the gold content of the second conference was not low.

If more nobles participated, the gold content would definitely rise further.

The final opponent was very powerful.

The armored youth had watched his matches, so he fought more cautiously.

The opponent was the same, and both sides carried out a Pokémon exchange that was almost a trade.

Except for the ace and the ancestor sword, the Pokémon were defeated one after another, and the atmosphere once reached the most suffocating point.

Just then.

The opponent unleashed his trump card—

Mega Evolution!

Although the powerful Mega Manectric was a single Electric type, it resisted the Steel type, causing the armored youth's most proud Steel-type skills to be unable to be fully unleashed.

At the same time, the Intimidate ability caused Scizor's physical attack to drop, and he had to rely on Aegislash's special attack ability...

This match was too difficult, so difficult that All Baimu thought the armored youth was going to lose.

After all, except for the 【Family Heritage】 talent, the remaining 【Heart Like Iron】 and 【Good Health】 couldn't be applied to the battle.

He couldn't just rush up and fight himself, could he?

Heaven never closes all doors.

At the very end, the ancestor sword sacrificed itself—【Destiny Bond】!

With the sacrifice, which was an important part of knightly virtue, it successfully took Mega Manectric away.

The armored youth stood until the end with a low-health Scizor!

At this moment, commoners mourned, and nobles celebrated!

【You win in the finals and obtain the Lumiose Conference victory】

Conference victory achieved!

【You are very happy, but you also understand that the real test is about to come】

After the narration fell.

The scene changed.

It was a scene of the noble youth meeting with some people.

【You negotiate with high-level League figures such as the Coumarine Gym Leader, agreeing that as long as you participate in the newly opened Champion League and achieve good results, they will help you revitalize your family】

Just as the Anistar Gym Leader said, the League's big move was the opening of the Champion League.

It seemed that the Elite Four and Regional Champion had not yet been selected.

At the same time, the noble side also received the news.

【You are warned by the great nobles, who demand that you refuse to participate in the Champion League, otherwise they will exert pressure on your family in all aspects】

The League gave benefits, and the great nobles gave threats.

For All Baimu, it was almost a blind choice of the League, but for the armored youth at that time, it was exceptionally heavy.

No one could accurately see the future.

People in the family also went to lobby the armored youth, hoping he would stop here, as the family had already gained enough benefits from it.

【You are confused, but after discussing with Aegislash, you become firm again】

【You know, it's not enough】

The armored youth's Heart Like Iron talent was activated; he disregarded the family's dissuasion and resolutely headed to Shalour City.

The Shalour Gym Leader had once said that if the armored youth could achieve good results in the conference, he should go find him.

All Baimu: "It wouldn't be..."

【You obtain the Key Stone】

Just as he thought, the Shalour Gym Leader gifted him a Key Stone and let him go to Mega Island to practice and obtain the Scizorite.

No map guidance was needed; as long as a Pokémon boarded that island, and the island possessed the corresponding Mega Stone, it would have a sense.

"The Shalour Gym is simply a Key Stone and Mega Stone dispenser..." All Baimu had also visited Mega Island, but that time he was forcibly sent there by a Shiny Rayquaza.

The process of finding the Mega Stone was very smooth.

The armored youth also naturally helped Scizor achieve Mega Evolution.

【Your combat power is greatly improved】

After a long period of special training.

The armored youth participated in the first Kalos Champion League.

Participants not only included the winners of the previous conference, but also the two semifinalists and runner-up of the previous conference; the two semifinalists, one runner-up, six Gym Leaders, and two Gym Leader candidates of this conference.

A total of sixteen people.

A fierce battle completely kicked off.

Unsurprisingly, contestants without Mega Evolution were eliminated in the first round.

The armored youth encountered a semifinalist from the previous conference; the opponent's strength after a year of precipitation was not bad, but Mega Scizor and the ancestor were too capable, and the outcome was without suspense.

【You advance to the next round】

Starting from the top eight, the opponents also possessed Mega Evolution.

The armored youth met the Ambrette Gym Leader again, that noble son-in-law who was secretly funded.

He possessed Mega Gyarados and had a bitter battle with Mega Scizor!

The armored youth fought a full-power Gym Leader for the first time and almost lost, but fortunately, the previous special training made him know the Ambrette Gym Leader well enough.

The Ambrette Gym Leader knew very little about the strength of Mega Scizor after its enhancement.

Thus, he was defeated.

【You advance to the semifinals】

It could almost be confirmed as the position of Elite Four!
