Chapter 1442: The Finals Open

Beep-beep-beep—

Harsh horn sounds rose and fell in the street.

At the moment when the Masters Eight finals were about to start, the lane leading to Wyndon Stadium was blocked tightly.

Klara sat in the passenger seat, holding her phone and feeling a bit anxious: "It's about to start, Avery! Drive faster!"

Marill in the back seat echoed: "Marill!"

"... This is a car, not a flying machine."

Avery looked at his companion speechlessly, his voice calm: "There's a traffic jam ahead, I can't drive through."

Weavile, also in the back seat, gestured vividly with its hands and shrugged.

"Ma~"

As everyone knows, All Baimu's influence on the whole world is reflected in all aspects. The most intuitive of these is the climate. Under his influence, three Lugia and one Calyrex forcibly changed the natural environment of an entire continent, from ocean currents and monsoons to other aspects.

This also caused Avery and Klara, who should have been heading to an island in the corner of the world, to appear in Wyndon Stadium at this moment, preparing to watch the finals between All Baimu and Ash.

Actually, if it weren't for Wyndon banning flying machines from landing, they would have wanted to drive the mobile laboratory in.

"Why not just get out of the car and run."

Klara lay on the car door, looking far away at the giant stadium on the horizon. In a trance, she seemed to see a horse wrapped in black energy located at the top of the petal-shaped facade, and a white-cloaked big green-headed knight sitting on its back.

She rubbed her eyes, but found that the knight was no longer there.

"Saw it wrong?"

"Let's walk over, there's really no way to move forward." Avery was also anxious, simply turning the car around and driving elsewhere.

At the same time, a number of Rotom Drones swept across the sky, leaving several colorful trails of smoke, forming gorgeous patterns.

The brown-haired hedgehog-headed boy looked up at the passing Rotom Drones, with a cute Umbreon at his feet.

"Ash..."

This person was undoubtedly Ash's good friend, the love-hate Gary.

As a member of 【Project Mew】, he was naturally free, so he came to Wyndon Stadium on behalf of his grandfather to watch Ash's match.

However, he didn't want Ash to know he had been here, so he didn't contact anyone.

After Gary entered the arena silently, the host's introduction sounded in the arena.

"Audience friends! Welcome to the Pokémon World Coronation Series Masters Eight tournament! Today is finally the finals!"

The audience who arrived one after another was full of anticipation and excitement, and photos of several Champions flashed constantly on the big screen.

"Over the past few days, Champions from various regions have gathered here, competing layer by layer in this super-luxurious lineup that is rare in ancient and modern times, and finally ushered in the final battle!"

"And the two people who defeated these strong enemies and successfully advanced to the finals are about to have a fierce duel in this battle arena, becoming the Trainers standing at the pinnacle of Pokémon battling!"

"Who exactly can win? Let us wait and see!"

Hum!

The noisy sound returned to the arena, containing the expectations of countless people.

In an independent player preparation room.

Ash tightened his Mega Ring, Dynamax Band, and Z-Ring, his gaze sweeping across the group of Pokémon in front of him.

"Everyone! Are you ready?"

"Pika!"

Ash reached out his hand, and Pikachu jumped onto his arm to explore its claws. The other five Pokémon also reached out their claws, fins, and even their leek swords.

He looked at his partners and then raised his fist high: "Must win!!"

"Roar!!"

The Pokémon responded loudly, their momentum high.

Even the Piplup, Eevee, and Dedenne watching from the side were infected, letting out loud calls together.

At this moment in the preparation room, human partners who had traveled with Ash gathered together. Except for Cilan, who couldn't be contacted, and Tracey, who was guarding the house at Professor Oak's laboratory, even Clemont and Bonnie arrived at the scene this morning.

This was undoubtedly an extra bond bonus for Ash.

"Come on! Ash! Give All Baimu some color to see!"

Misty's encouragement was always the most active and straightforward.

Brock smiled: "That's right! You can defeat anyone now!"

"Take the championship!"

"Come on!"

"Piplup and I will cheer for you in the stands!"

May, Max, Dawn, and Iris offered sincere blessings in turn.

Finally, it was Serena's turn. She didn't say anything, just walked up to tidy Ash's collar, who was stunned. "You can definitely become the strongest!"

Her tone was firm, and the confidence in her words even exceeded Ash's own.

Ash smiled and nodded vigorously: "Hmm! Of course!"

Bet everything they had and win this match!

Nothing is impossible!

——

Next door preparation room.

All Baimu sat in front of the sofa by the floor-to-ceiling window, watching short videos on PokéTok with his Rotom Phone.

The 【Pokémon Maintenance Challenge】 he founded had undoubtedly become the hottest keyword at the moment, and the one with the highest likes had exceeded 500,000.

Compared to the lively atmosphere on Ash's side, it was much "colder" here.

Or rather, All Baimu himself was calm and peaceful enough, which caused Nemona and others who were cheering for him to not know what to say for a while.

But his friends were generally not the quiet type, plus there were Pokémon like Scream Tail making noise, and the room soon became noisy.

Not long after, a shout from the staff came from outside.

"The match is about to start! All Baimu can enter the arena and take his place!"

The entire room fell silent instantly.

The gazes around were all locked on All Baimu. He put away his Rotom Phone and stood up calmly, saying to everyone: "I'll be back, you guys do whatever."

Strong confidence was conveyed to everyone's ears from these short words.

Nemona and others smiled.

"Come on!"

"Win beautifully!"

"Uncle! I will cheer for you!"

"Hehehe."

All Baimu stroked Anabel's head and threw Hisuian Zorua to her. "My Pokémon are entrusted to you to take care of."

"Hmm!"

Anabel nodded vigorously, hugging the speechless Hisuian Zorua tightly.

Fat fox: "..."

Missed a chance to revel? Damn it!

Hisuian Zorua is a typical Pokémon that forgets the pain after the scars heal. No matter how uncomfortable and hard it was yesterday, it could forget it completely as soon as the food reached its mouth.

All Baimu left the preparation room and found Zinnia at the door. "Why don't you come in?"

"The Elder is looking forward to your match, don't let her down."

Zinnia, who seemed to be infected by Kyurem, said coolly, but in the end, she didn't hold back, her eyebrows softened, and she said warmly: "Go! The pride of the Draconids!"

"Rest assured."

All Baimu's smile was peaceful.

Turning around, he strode toward the arena.

After the main character left, the others in the preparation room moved to the audience stands and a larger lounge.

Among them, the team behind Anabel was quite eye-catching.

Because she was not only holding Hisuian Zorua, but Hoopa was floating beside her, and behind her were Ogerpon, Miraidon, Pecharunt, the Loyal Three, Scream Tail, Alolan Meowth, and even Glastrier following.

A large group of people, the posture of passing through the border was not to mention ordinary people, even Champions had to stand in place and watch for a while.

—Facts proved that Champions would indeed watch.

In the small room where Champions from all regions gathered, Anabel arrived here habitually. Her original intention was to go to the audience stands to cheer for All Baimu, but she was followed by such a group of existences, so she had to transfer to this place.

Cynthia, Lance, Steven, and other Champions looked at each other. Diantha stepped forward with pity: "Oh~ my Anabel~ are you tired?"

"Not tired at all."

Anabel smiled gently.

Steven counted the Pokémon and said strangely: "Is something missing?"

"The Legendary Giants and Calyrex."

Cynthia blurted out.

Then they subconsciously looked outside the floor-to-ceiling window, and sure enough, they saw the figures of the five Legendary Giants that were missing.

In the exclamations of countless spectators, they appeared at the top of the arena, placing themselves at the top of the stadium like statues.

The ribbons and fireworks in the sky seemed to be set off for their arrival.

"It's the Legendary Giants! Five! All five are here!"

"Are they going to participate?"

"Doesn't look like it!"

The audience stands were discussing, and the barrage in the official live broadcast room was also brushing the screen.

Team Rocket focused on them without hesitation, trying to attract traffic. If it were in the past, they would probably think more about taking the five Legendary Giants away.

No matter if they could beat them or not, they just had this idea!

In the studio.

Mustard and Leon were both here. The latter saw this scene and laughed: "All Baimu... occasionally still likes to show off."

He thought of the dragon riding at the opening ceremony.

"No, no, no, this is my idea!"

Mustard proudly pointed his thumb at himself. "Isn't it very safe to have the Legendary Giants sit in the stadium?"

Leon returned an awkward hehe laugh.

He actually felt more that these five figures would attract the audience's attention, making it impossible for everyone to devote themselves to the heat of the match.

But Leon respected Mustard very much, even if he had some small opinions, he wouldn't point them out face-to-face. He couldn't be sure he was completely right.

"Leon, leave it to me here."

Oleana's voice sounded.

Leon turned his head and saw his colleague who also inherited Rose's legacy say calmly: "Compared to here, the room where the Champions are is more suitable for you."

"... That's right."

Leon nodded slightly. He indeed hoped to communicate with the Champions of various regions.

Especially since he had just met a Champion yesterday—

Nemona from the Paldea region.

Originally, Leon thought the Champion of that region was Ms. Geeta. He had seen that one with Rose a long time ago.

Unexpectedly, the situation in Paldea was quite special, actually divided into Top Champion and Champion, which made him feel a bit surprised and curious.

Leon hoped very much to continue communicating with this Champion lady.

Best...

Is to have a battle! 【144

Unfortunately, the protagonists of the moment were All Baimu and Ash, so he prepared to put his own thoughts aside for a little while.

And just as Dande arrived at the lounge where the other Champions were, and Hop and Marnie arrived at the spectator stands, each carrying snacks and drinks.

The match officially began!

"Spectators! Look! The two Pokémon Trainers standing at the pinnacle have finally appeared!"

The host's voice drew a wave of cheers.

Inside the surging crowd of the spectator stands, the Mawile fan club cheerleading squad was dressed in uniform, jumping and dancing their support dance with joy.

And in the front row, Dawn dressed all of their Pokémon in pink outfits, put fluffy pom-poms on them, and had them stand in a row to take photos.

"Piplup~ Piplup~"

"Eevee~ Eevee~"

"Pachirisu~ Pachirisu~"

"Buneary~ Buneary~"

The cute appearance of the Pokémon caused several girls to quickly pull out their phones to take pictures and upload them to Poké-Sound.

Amidst the noise, the gate to the left tunnel opened.

A figure walked out slowly from within.

The host's introduction immediately rang out over the broadcast: "The first finalist to enter—the eighth of the Masters Eight, the first Champion of the Alola region! Hailing from the Kanto region! Trainer Ash!"

Whoa!

The spectator stands erupted with earth-shattering shouts.

Gigantamax Charizard's flames surged again, the fire vortex within its body running at full speed, all emerging in the giant wings of flame on its back.

"Since signing up, he has cut through the competition, defeating Kanto Champion Lance in the first round and Sinnoh Champion Cynthia in the second! He is arguably the most eye-catching presence in this tournament!"

"He is also a powerful Trainer who wields Mega Evolution, Z-Moves, and Dynamax!"

As the voice echoed, the gate on the other side opened.

The host immediately shouted: "Greeting such a Trainer Ash is: widely acclaimed, undefeated in every battle, the only person in this world who can be called invincible—"

"The second of the Masters Eight, the Champion of the Orre region, Trainer All Baimu!"

Whoa!

An even louder sound soared straight into the clouds.

All Baimu had successfully attracted a massive number of fans through his semifinal victory; his exaggerated six-to-zero record was like creating history in the battle world, leaving countless Trainers sighing in admiration.

Because of this, he was like the final boss at the end of a game right now; even though he wasn't playing on home turf just like Ash, he had managed to turn Wyndon Stadium into his home field purely through his battle record!

"So, will Trainer Ash continue to stage a miracle, or will Trainer All Baimu create another undefeated record? This is truly a peak battle! Let us wait and see!"

The shouts from the spectator stands boiled over like ocean waves.

Hop, who was watching a match of this level for the first time, was so startled he almost dropped his popcorn, "So amazing! All Baimu! Ash!"

"Yeah."

Marnie nodded, her gaze sweeping over the two people below.

Inside the arena.

All Baimu discovered Ash looking up at the five Legendary Giants at the top of the arena and smiled, "I found them a pretty good seat, what do you think?"

"Very good!"

Hearing this, Ash immediately understood that All Baimu didn't intend to send them onto the field, "I've been looking forward to this match for a long time!"

He clapped his fists together, his eyes showing a rare sharpness and confidence.

All Baimu took a deep breath and said, "And haven't I? Give it your all! Ash! Let's witness our final battle together!"

The words fell.

Danpe began to read the match rules and quickly signaled for both sides to send out their first Pokémon.

"Three! Two! One! Start!"

"Pikachu! I choose you!"

"Go, it's time for you to fulfill your wish!"

As the referee's voice rang out, Ash and All Baimu each sent out their own Pokémon.

Ash's choice was very unique and full of his style, which was to send out his ace to lead the charge right from the start.

All Baimu's response was—

"Hydreigon!!!"

A roar that pierced the heavens, the Dragon King symbolizing destruction descended onto the field!
