Chapter 828: First Season

"Mega Evolution Experiment Gengar, 6th period, 3rd time! Start!"

As the Poryphone opened the recording function.

The Shiny Gengar put its hands on its hips, raised its head and chest, and struck a pose of "I am the only one supreme in heaven and on earth."

"Gengar!"

It shouted.

The beach with surging waves suddenly fell into a long silence.

All Baimu looked at the unresponsive Key Stone, not too disappointed on his face, and muttered: "Still a bit short?"

Hearing his voice, Gengar lowered its hands dejectedly.

"Gen..."

"What's the rush! Key Stone, Mega Stone are all there, success is just a matter of time." He slapped Gengar's head with a bit of force.

The sudden pain made Gengar instantly hug its head and squat down, but it scattered the shame and disappointment in its heart.

The funny big face reappeared with a smile.

"Jiehehehe!"

"Idiot."

All Baimu sighed.

He certainly understood that comfort sometimes brings more terrible pressure than blame, but he couldn't help but feel that Gengar might have some problems.

It didn't even like to listen to soft words!

Fortunately, he finally pulled this guy and the Galarian Corsola to level 70...

It wasn't easy.

The remaining two-level rewards are saved for now, and when it's changed to the 85-level limit later, it will be used for Mawile or Hydreigon.

All Baimu's thinking diverged.

He gradually recalled the memory dream of last night.

The serious and earnest version of Nanu who was responsible for teaching, compared with the Kahuna who only attended important festivals and was lazy, made people sincerely suspect whether this person had a twin brother or younger brother.

"All Baimu!"

The Poryphone that finished shooting flew over, interrupting his train of thought, and said: "Do you feel that Gengar is missing something compared to the situation when Aggron and the others trigger the Key Stone?"

"Missing some unforgettable memories."

All Baimu said without thinking.

He said: "Gengar's living environment is too comfortable, and it wasn't with me from the beginning. Look, has it ever had that kind of extremely unwilling game since it came? Or encountered any opponents we couldn't beat? Or predicaments we couldn't break through?"

The more Pokémon are in a predicament, the more they can stimulate their potential power.

Conversely, a comfortable environment is difficult to cultivate a sufficiently powerful individual, and Gengar's talent can't be counted as good; it's just a mere Shiny Pokémon.

In other words, if you want to speed up the progress of Mega Evolution, you must experience some unforgettable scenes.

"Gengar..."

Gengar scratched its head. It also regretted not being able to follow the Trainer from the beginning.

It's not something it can decide.

Poryphone was a bit lucky. It had at least witnessed some big scenes with All Baimu, such as Shiny Rayquaza, wiping out Team Flare, etc.

As the only Pokémon that could cause technological-side attacks, the pressures of the past also became the driving force for its progress.

Conversely, Gengar...

Living too comfortably won't work either.

Poryphone glanced at Gengar as if it thought it was hidden. Sensing that pitying gaze, Gengar got angry and got angry.

No way.

It couldn't beat Porygon2.

Moves like 【Substitute】, 【Conversion】, 【Conversion 2】 are too rogue.

And All Baimu saw Gengar looking indignant, only thinking that he had gone too far, and made up for it: "But time can also create bonds. Where are there so many storms in this world? Many Trainers' lives are incomparably ordinary, but they and their Pokémon still have inseparable bonds."

Time can also bring results.

Unfortunately, Gengar probably wouldn't be happy.

So.

"I decided to let you play as much as possible in the next three months. You have to work hard." He said seriously to Gengar.

This sentence once attracted the attention of other Pokémon.

Giving Gengar special treatment in front of everyone?

Who in the team has—who enjoyed this treatment when the Trainer said it clearly?

"Gengar..."

Gengar was stared at by the eyes of its companions. The non-existent small heart thumped and thumped, and suddenly there was a strong premonition that heaven's destiny was with it.

Is the Emperor preparing to pass the position of Crown Prince...

Bah!

Played too many hegemony games recently!

Is the Trainer preparing to pass the position of Ace to it?

The feeling of being favored is really cool!

"Gengar!" It restrained its smile, not daring to laugh as arrogantly as in the past, worried about being beaten.

And only by being quiet can you make a fortune!

——

Nothing happened in the morning.

Can start considering clearing Ula'ula Island.

But before All Baimu planned, Poryphone issued a reminder.

"The number of participants in the World Coronation Series has reached the forecast, and there are many participants on Melemele Island. Do you want to match?"

"Match!"

He thought for a moment and nodded.

The first World Coronation Series was not as he thought, with so many regional Champions and Elite Four participating.

Trainers of this level are watched by people in every match, and the official also needs their fame for publicity. If they participated, there would definitely be videos on the blog.

Since that's the case, there's no need to fight to a high position.

"Searching!"

Poryphone showed the search page to All Baimu. There are two types: nearby search and keyword search. Keyword search can enter the city where you are, and all people participating in the World Coronation Series in the city will be displayed.

Participants can choose people with high rankings from them to challenge.

Of course.

Challenges must be agreed upon after both sides meet offline. Either side has the right to refuse the battle—except for the Master Class.

There are thousands of Master Class in the game, and there are eight positions for Master Class in the anime.

All Baimu waited for about half a minute.

Poryphone used the app's system upgrade to broadcast: "Opponent matched! Displaying the opponent's location! You can contact the other party through the chat box and confirm the meeting place!"

The process is a bit cumbersome.

But non-mandatory battles are like this. In the anime, in order to improve the efficiency of ranking promotion, the official will hold battle festivals in various places to improve rankings and levels.

All Baimu looked at the screen. The opponent was a slightly familiar, dark blue medium-short hair thick-browed uncle.

"Veteran Trainer?"

Below the half-length portrait is his current ranking—5042.

The World Coronation Series is divided into four tiers: Master Class, Hyper Class, Great Class, and Normal Class.

In terms of ranking, Master Class is the top eight, Hyper Class is 99th to 9th, Great Class is 999th to 100th, and those after 1000th are Normal Class.

Promotion adopts an opaque point system, so it's not that you can be promoted to Great Class if you defeat a Great Class Trainer.

Buzz buzz!

The other party sent a message on the communication interface.

"Hello, I am at the Hau'oli City Shopping Mall now. Where shall we meet?"

"Tell him to find a free space in Hau'oli City." All Baimu said to Poryphone, and rode Hydreigon to Hau'oli City.

Not long after.

Both sides successfully met in the open space near the parking lot, greeted each other very politely, and formally established the battle.

What surprised All Baimu was that the other party called himself Shadow Leopard.

He couldn't help but ask: "You and Shadow Tiger..."

"Yes, that Eevee expert Shadow Tiger is my twin brother."

Shadow Leopard smiled kindly: "He is also a participant in the World Coronation Series. If there is a chance, you will also meet him. Come to think of it, your name is also a bit familiar..."

"Where, where."

All Baimu laughed and muddled through.

He just suddenly associated with the fact that there was also such a person who looked like a veteran Trainer through this name.

Speaking of Eevee expert Shadow Tiger.

Has Ilima returned to the Alola region?

It has been several months since the Ever Grande Conference ended, and the first part of the main plot has already ended. He should be back soon, right?

He pulled away from Shadow Leopard, and an Air Rotom slowly flew over in the sky.

It shouted: "Welcome! The World Coronation Series certifies this Great Class battle! Battle contestants—Melemele Island's Shadow Leopard vs. Yellow Town's All Baimu!"

Yellow Town?

Shadow Leopard's action of taking out the ball paused.

The feeling of familiarity became heavier and heavier. Clearly, Yellow Town was such a strange place, but it always seemed like he had seen it somewhere.

Where exactly was it?

Shadow Leopard decided to recall based on the Pokémon All Baimu sent out. If it was a powerful Trainer, he definitely had memories of the corresponding Pokémon.

Air Rotom's eyes shone, and a virtual light screen unfolded.

Only to see the half-length portraits of the two occupying the left and right sides, and in the corner was a hexagon framing the Poké Ball.

"This time, a one-on-one Pokémon battle! Now explaining the formal competition rules, the Trainer whose Pokémon loses combat ability is defeated, and the other side wins. In addition, the referee of the battle is served by me, who has been certified by the Coronation Series! Please go to the local outlet for any objections!"

Air Rotom's volume increased: "Now please both sides send out the selected Pokémon!"

Two Poké Balls were thrown out.

Bang bang!

"Gengar!"

Gengar landed with its hands on its hips, baring its big mouth and spitting out its blood-red long tongue.

It looked at its opponent, a humanoid creature with yellow and black fur and a strong build.

Electivire, monster?

Seems to be this name.

Hmph hmph!

Just take you as the opening for my Ace road!

Gengar was so excited that it couldn't wait to press its opponent to the ground and beat it up.

At the same time.

Shadow Leopard widened his eyes. He actually didn't react when he first saw Gengar, until Gengar appeared in the sun, showing its gray-black skin that was different from its kind.

A Gengar of a different color!

He is All Baimu!

Shadow Leopard's gaze shot at the young man opposite, and a sour and numb emotion surged in his heart, followed by the excitement of encountering a strong enemy.

In this area of the Alola region, the strong can be counted on one hand.

He and his Pokémon hadn't battled a powerful Trainer for a long time!

In order to battle those strong people he had never met, he participated in the World Coronation Series, never thinking he would hit the jackpot on the first day!

"Battle start!"

As Air Rotom's announcement fell.

Shadow Leopard gave the command for the first time: "Thunderbolt!"

"Electivire!"

Electivire raised its strong arms, and blue-white electric sparks flickered between the two round horns on its head, then extended to its arms and turned into explosive currents!

Zzz——!!

A terrifying boom echoed through the clearing as the golden thunderbolt roared wantonly, instantly piercing the air and racing toward Gengar, who stood motionless, only cackling incessantly!

"Mimic."

Lightning like running silver snakes bared its fangs and brandished its claws, drowning Gengar!

Bang!

Lead-gray smoke rose suddenly, and the remaining current jumped in it, making a crackling explosion.

Shadow Leopard's heart beat like a drum. He understood that Gengar would likely not be defeated by Thunderbolt, but he also wanted to know the results of the attack—

Whoosh!

Only to see the smoke suddenly disperse from the center, and Gengar, wrapped in lightning but without half the pain on its face, rushed out like a cannonball, and an orange-red light lit up under it.

Shadow Leopard was shocked: "Nani!?"

Actually nothing happened?

And the situation of state improvement after being hit...

Before he could react, Gengar's sprinting speed actually increased by another notch, almost arriving in front of Electivire in an instant.

"Grab it! Use Discharge!" Shadow Leopard shouted subconsciously.

As soon as the command was spoken, he immediately understood the reason why Gengar was not only fine after being hit by an Electric-type attack but also had its state improved.

Unfortunately, it was too late to change.

Electivire manipulated its two black long tails like cables, stretching forward like lightning!

However.

The long tail passed directly through Gengar's body!

As a Pokémon made of shadows, as long as it wants, this kind of physical attack that doesn't contain attribute energy can be dodged at will.

"Sludge Wave!"

"Jiehehehe!"

It laughed strangely, raised its hands, ignored the violent current on the opponent's body, and released the deep purple toxic liquid like a swamp frantically!

Boom!!

The galloping thunder and lightning and the fishy toxic liquid covered a large open space, blowing up countless broken stones!

One of them grazed Shadow Leopard's cheek, but he had no heart to pay attention to this burning pain. All his attention was on Gengar, who was obscured by the smoke, and it was only a beat later that he noticed Electivire, who had been blown back.

Slap!

"Electivire!"

Electivire groaned and knelt on one knee, and a strange purple halo appeared on its face.

【Poisoned】 state!

Shadow Leopard knew it was bad and looked at the rolling smoke.

Sure enough.

Gengar rushed out again, unscathed.

Its body was wrapped in fine currents in many places, its face was still the unpleasant strange laugh, and the suddenly lit orange-red light.

"Jiehehehe!"

It really is the 【Motor Drive】 ability!

Shadow Leopard was full of remorse, because very few fools would use Electric-type moves on Electivire, so the probability of this ability being triggered was very small, and he, as a Trainer, had almost forgotten it.

Never thought he would be a fool today, using Electric-type moves twice in a row!

Although there was also the reason that the opponent's actions were too fast, who could he blame if he couldn't react himself?

He shouted: "Iron Tail!"

"Electivire!"

Electivire, who had barely gotten up, swung its two cable-like long tails, but facing Gengar, whose speed had increased for the second time, this action was too slow.

Gengar avoided Iron Tail without any effort, flew above Electivire, and took out its most signature skill.

"Shadow Ball!"

Shadow big dunk!

Gengar raised its hands high, and countless black qi instantly gathered into a dark energy ball above, which it smashed down fiercely!

Thud!

"Electivire——"

Electivire's head fell with a boom under the heavy pressure of the energy light wave, and its strong body fell to the ground in a prone position, exploding countless spider-web-like cracks!

Smoke rose.

It fell silent after a few seconds.

Shadow Leopard covered his face and sighed endlessly.

Air Rotom flew in front of Electivire, confirmed its state, and said loudly: "Electivire loses combat ability, Gengar wins. The final winner is Yellow Town's All Baimu!"

"Based on this battle, the ranking of the World Coronation Series will change!"

After saying that, it flew away without any nostalgia.

All Baimu took out his phone and looked at the ranking, and just as he was about to say something to Shadow Leopard, exclamations came from afar.

"There are Pokémon I haven't seen causing trouble everywhere!"

"Go take a look!"

"That guy is red all over, and it seems his muscles are very developed!" ===== CHAPTER 829 =====
