Chapter 1343: New Dog and Shark

All Baimu didn't get to see Elite Four Bertha.

Just because this kind-looking old lady said she didn't want to go over and disturb the two's date.

Cynthia smiled helplessly, but didn't argue about anything.

The two continued to chat, suddenly mentioning the new Mega Evolutions continuously announced by the Kalos League official.

"Maybe you should see this."

Cynthia placed two Mega Stones in front of him, one blue-bottomed red, white, and yellow, and the other yellow-bottomed blue, gray, and black.

The former was Garchomp's, All Baimu could recognize it from the color scheme, but the latter was a bit unfamiliar. What Pokémon had yellow as the main color, taking into account blue, gray, and black?

Cynthia said: "They are the new Mega Evolutions of Garchomp and Lucario."

"... New Mega Evolution?"

All Baimu's forehead had question marks.

Facing his confusion, Cynthia found the photo from her phone and pushed it toward him slowly.

The Poryphone leaned over for the first time. "It really is a second type of Mega Evolution! All Baimu, look!"

"I've already seen it..."

All Baimu stared at the photo, falling into a long silence.

Could it be that the XY remake was already generous enough to have hundreds of types? There were so many surplus quotas that they could insert a new one for Garchomp and Lucario, these two veterans, respectively!

And it was also being watched all along, why didn't he get the news on his side?

Lysandre! Steven! You guys aren't riding the wave!

All Baimu complained inwardly about his two insiders.

Of course, he also knew that there were some inside stories, such as the Kalos League intending to block the information, and such as the two preparing to explain the information in batches.

It was even possible that these two Mega Stones hadn't passed through their hands.

"Have you mastered them?"

He raised his head and asked Cynthia.

Cynthia supported her chin with one hand, her posture elegant and charming, and she asked with a smile: "Want to see it?"

"If possible, I want to see both." All Baimu's eyes shone, and he couldn't wait. "Just now!"

Cynthia shook her head and refused. "This won't do, I have to save all my energy for the match with you tomorrow."

Every trainer will let themselves and their Pokémon rest before the match to adjust their state, especially regional Champions.

And repeatedly performing Mega Evolution that hasn't been fully mastered is a considerable mental drain for both the trainer and the Pokémon.

All Baimu heard this and said strangely: "You won't..."

"Is it not allowed?"

Cynthia asked back with a smile.

There was no doubt that she intended to use one of these two new Mega Evolutions in tomorrow's match, just like Lance.

All Baimu seriously suspected that Cynthia had the suspicion of releasing water.

But thinking about it, maybe she had already fully mastered it and was preparing to give him a big one in the match?

With Cynthia's talent, it wasn't impossible.

All Baimu became expectant instantly and began to fantasize about the appearance of Garchomp and Lucario's new Mega Evolutions.

At this time, Cynthia's phone rang again, from Elite Four Lucian.

The other party didn't know about the private meeting between the two, just that he had turned around with Flint and the others for most of the day, completely failing to find All Baimu, whom Aaron had seen, and really didn't want to waste time anymore.

"We haven't seen each other for a long time, let's get together."

Lucian said on the phone.

In mainstream regions, the relationship between Champions and Elite Four is not limited to colleagues, but more of close friends who compete with each other, and it is common to find opportunities to get together.

Just like the Kalos League, clearly Elite Four Malva was aiding and abetting, but some people led by Diantha still wanted to protect her.

And All Baimu, because it was his first time being a Champion, didn't have experience in this area, so he didn't often get together with the Orre Elite Four.

Cynthia originally wanted to refuse; after all, she wasn't sure if All Baimu was willing to see them, but before she could reply, All Baimu said: "Do you mind adding me to the gathering?"

His voice wasn't high, but it was heard by the opposite side.

"Are you——All Baimu?"

Lucian didn't dare to confirm, and Flint beside him shouted with his loud

Aaron, who was feeling guilty about making everyone run for nothing, said excitedly, "I said so! I couldn't have seen it wrong!"

Volkner didn't speak, just panted from exhaustion.

After getting a positive answer.

The four hurried to the hotel back garden where Cynthia and All Baimu were, and contacted Bertha at the same time.

But for some reason, when they learned they were going to find Cynthia and All Baimu, Bertha seemed a little unhappy.

Lucian was curious if someone had offended her.

And when the four arrived, they found that Bertha had arrived faster and was already drinking tea and chatting happily with All Baimu and the others.

Aaron clearly wanted to see All Baimu the most, but at this time he shrank behind Flint and Volkner, looking at him with great fear. Clearly, the battle last season had left him with deep psychological trauma.

But as he watched, Aaron found that All Baimu seemed to have become different.

The All Baimu of the past was no different from a ferocious Dragon-type Pokémon; the current him was more like a handsome ordinary person, not so sharp.

"Eh?"

"Aaron, long time no see!"

All Baimu stood up and smiled as he greeted Aaron, "You should still remember me, right? We battled last season."

Aaron naturally wouldn't forget; he remembered it very clearly!

Surrounded by so many fangirls, he was unilaterally abused by All Baimu's Shiny Milotic!

At that time, All Baimu wasn't the Orre Champion yet, just a relatively famous Trainer.

"No, no."

Aaron's expression was a bit reserved.

After a simple meeting, the few sat down.

Flint looked at All Baimu excitedly and said, "There are so many Champions in the Masters Eight, I'm the only one who hasn't battled you. When are we going to have one? Clash?"

"A private battle? I don't mind."

All Baimu naturally wanted to battle Flint too; getting the simulator countdown was one aspect, and reproducing the game battle was another.

The people around were stunned, completely not expecting All Baimu to accept Flint's challenge just like that.

Tomorrow is his battle with Cynthia!

Is victory already in his grasp?

Several gazes fell on All Baimu. He picked up the teacup calmly and drank slowly.

——

The next day.

The daylight was just right.

Lilycove Island was flooded with several times more tourists than usual.

Hotels were full, Pokémon Centers were full, and the size of the crowd completely exceeded the expectations of the Sinnoh League.

They had to activate their backup plan, building temporary hostels to accommodate the tourists coming here.

Although the environment was relatively simple, there were not many complaints.

Everyone was looking forward to today's match, and the accommodation environment didn't matter at all. After all, who hadn't slept in the open before?

More importantly, it was the match between Cynthia and All Baimu!

The world's number one female Champion and the most potential world's number one Champion; this battle's heat was no less than Leon vs. Lance, so it attracted countless viewers from all over the world.

The entire Sinnoh League was busy and overwhelmed. Nurse Joy's butt hadn't touched a stool for several hours, and she was even standing at the front desk operating the computer. Several Blissey nurses were dizzy and almost sent the wrong Pokémon.

In short, the huge Lilycove Island was extremely busy.

On the contrary, All Baimu and Cynthia, who were about to battle, were exceptionally leisurely. They arrived at the lounge of the competition venue early, without any intention of adjusting their state before the match, chatting very normally.

Until the arrival of a certain Psychic girl.

"Caitlin."

Cynthia looked at Caitlin, who was biting her lower lip, and took the initiative to greet this good friend who was like a younger sister.

Caitlin whispered, "Sister Cynthia, I'm sorry I'm late..."

"I'm very happy that you could come, sit down quickly."

Cynthia just pretended not to know about Caitlin's knot regarding All Baimu, holding her arm and sitting next to her.

Opposite was All Baimu, who was smiling faintly.

"Miss Caitlin, long time no see. Has your strength improved?" he asked in a peaceful tone.

Caitlin subconsciously avoided his gaze, and after her body stiffened, she moved it back, trying hard to suppress her trembling voice, "I think there should be."

This girl...

Am I that scary?

All Baimu was surprised; Caitlin was almost like Otsuka back then, but he clearly hadn't treated Caitlin like that.

Little did he know, people who grew up in different environments have very different tolerances.

For Otsuka in Ferroseed Town, life and property exceeded everything, so life threats were very effective; while for the confident Caitlin back then, losing miserably after giving her all was enough to cause her Dao heart to collapse and lose the will to live.

Not to mention that she was already emotionally unstable, belonging to the mentally ill among psychics, and mainly lived in the Pokémon world, which made her appear harmless.

But if she were changed to the set of *Stranger Things* next door...

All Baimu noticed the gaze Cynthia gave him and nodded quietly to signal her to be at ease; he wouldn't stimulate a little girl for no reason.

Caitlin saw an old acquaintance again. Although she had accepted the fact that the other party's strength was exaggeratedly strong, she couldn't help but feel emotionally agitated, almost repeating the psychic runaway of the past.

Fortunately, neither Cynthia nor All Baimu had any intention of picking at old scars, chatting when they should chat and drinking tea when they should drink tea.

Caitlin's emotions stabilized quickly, and listening to the content of their chat, she would occasionally interject.

She also found that All Baimu wasn't actually that scary.

But soon, she realized another important thing.

"You... when did you become so close?"

Caitlin asked confusedly.

Remembering the last time they met, they were still very polite when speaking. Now, not only did they meet in private, but they could even laugh and talk with each other!

All Baimu didn't answer, and Cynthia replied, "We had the fate to adventure together a while ago."

Adventured together!

Caitlin's eyes were full of shock. Cynthia, who had always been a loner, adventured with someone?

She didn't even have this treatment!

Only vacationed with Cynthia!

Just when Caitlin wanted to continue asking, the voice of a staff member came from outside.

"Champion Cynthia, Champion All Baimu, it's about time."

The other party said cautiously.

Hearing this, the two stood up quickly and walked toward the competition venue. When they reached the fork in the road, they nodded to each other and strode forward.

From now on, they were no longer friends, but opponents!

At the end of the passage, the sun's radiance illuminated the main arena of Lilycove Island, setting a gold border for the crowded auditorium.

All Baimu squinted and stepped into it, immediately causing cheers and shouts from thousands of people.

And this also belonged to Cynthia opposite.

In the guest viewing room provided for the Elite Four, Caitlin arrived gracefully and greeted Flint and the others.

She looked around and found that not only the Elite Four, but many Sinnoh Gym Leaders had also come to watch the battle, not to mention Gym Leaders from other regions.

So many people came to the scene, not to mention how much attention there would be on the internet.

Aaron's appearance made Caitlin very curious. She saw him biting his nails, eyes staring fixedly at All Baimu below, his expression more nervous than Cynthia, who was about to battle.

She couldn't help but feel strange, "What's wrong with Mr. Aaron?"

"Him? He lost to All Baimu before and wants to find a chance to get it back," Lucian explained.

So it was a comrade-in-arms!

Caitlin's expression instantly changed from curiosity to sympathy, but she didn't go up to talk to Aaron, preparing to devote herself to the match.

Inside the arena.

All Baimu rubbed his wrists, feeling curious about the Pokémon Cynthia would send out next.

"Do you think it will be Mega Garchomp Z right from the start?"

Last night, based on inquiries from various sources, he confirmed the naming of Garchomp's new Mega Evolution from Lysandre.

Just as All Baimu thought, Lysandre was preparing to accumulate a wave of new Mega Evolutions and then tell him uniformly.

Who knew that after the Kalos League discovered the new Mega Evolutions of Garchomp and Lucario, they would be transferred to the Sinnoh League so quickly, and then fall into Cynthia's hands.

Steven?

He was traveling around the world looking for stones and hadn't paid attention to the new Mega Evolutions for the time being.

The Poryphone replied, "Anyway, it's either Garchomp or Lucario."

"... Just talking nonsense."

All Baimu looked at it speechlessly.

Referee Deng Pei quickly took his place, nodded respectfully to the two Champions, and began to announce the match rules.

The Master Ball tier is always a 3-on-3 singles match, even if the first round of the Masters Eight is also 3-on-3, it won't become a 6-on-6 full battle until the semifinals.

Both sides took out their Poké Balls during this period, ready to throw them at any time.

Soon, the rules were announced to the end.

"Please send out your first Pokémon!"

The Poké Balls flew out.

Bang bang!

White light flashed, and two Pokémon entered the arena at the same time.

The one appearing on All Baimu's side first was Galarian Corsola, and opposite was Cynthia's Milotic.

"Sang..."

"Milu~"

Compared to the cracked body half a month ago, Galarian Corsola's appearance was now as clean as new.

All Baimu also thought it was about to evolve, but in the end, even at level ninety, Galarian Corsola still had no such intention.

It would rather repair itself slowly.

All Baimu didn't force it, even feeling that it was more durable if it didn't evolve.

"Match start!"

With the referee's order, both sides issued commands at the same time.

"Mirror Coat!"

"Hydro Pump!"

Milotic shook its slender body, suddenly spraying a bright blue water column forward, bombarding Galarian Corsola, whose surface was overflowing with colorful light!

Splash!!

Water splashed, but failed to shake the small body.

Corsola looked bitter, the colorful light on its body turned into a deep blue like the vast ocean, and instead released a huge splashing water flow forward!

"Dodge!"

Cynthia naturally wouldn't let her Pokémon take the hit, and Milotic also swirled extremely quickly, dodging the reflected Hydro Pump.

Mirror Coat cannot be dodged in the game, but in the anime, there are almost no moves that cannot be dodged.

Not to mention that the reaction speed of Cynthia and her Pokémon far exceeds that of ordinary Trainer and Pokémon combinations.
