Chapter 971: Tobias, Defeated!

The arena where smoke and dust were rising.

The Porygon referee machine watched Heatran covered in mud and spoke decisively:

"Heatran is unable to battle! Regidrago wins! The winner of this match is——All Baimu!"

Flobo: "The winner is decided! The battle of legends has come to an end! The powerful giant is invincible!"

Wow!

Cheers erupted in the audience stands, and the applause was like waves, one after another.

Most of the audience was satisfied with the current result.

They saw a big scene that shocked their eyes and witnessed a legendary battle that ordinary people didn't have a chance to encounter.

Just based on these two points, it definitely couldn't be called a regret.

All Baimu's strength also made people sigh that there were only wrong names, no wrong nicknames.

A Trainer with the title of "King," mastering the power of giants, didn't seem to be anything wrong?

Therefore.

Most people could discuss, post on Poké-Sound, and chat with people on forums, blogs, etc., after the match ended.

Only a portion of Latios's fanatical fans.

Couldn't let go for a long time.

Of course, it wasn't just them who were dissatisfied; some contestants who came specifically for this battle also had some emotions.

"A worthless battle, a waste of time."

Bartlas stood up and left the seat coldly.

Leo didn't say a word, and also left the arena with his girlfriend Mirei.

Mana, holding Plusle and Minun, curiously asked her brother Long Ren: "Onii-chan~ why does everyone seem so angry?"

"Because their requirements are too high!"

Long Ren put his hands behind his head and laughed, "This match is still very exciting! Except that the Trainer didn't keep up!"

"Eh? Mana doesn't understand..."

"Simply put, Mr. Tobias failed to exert the power that Legendary Pokémon should have; all he did was use their own strength to battle."

Long Ren stroked his sister's hair, "Legendary Pokémon have never been so easy to control."

Setting aside the Legendary Pokémon themselves, Tobias was no different from a third-rate Trainer—

It was too explicit to say this; Long Ren had a lively and innocent personality, but he would never slander others behind their backs.

Regarding Legendary Pokémon, he also had the right to speak.

Why was he able to win the final victory in the battle against Dark Lugia at the top of the Nickel Dark Island?

Because Death Gold seemed to be able to manipulate Dark Lugia, but actually couldn't exert its true strength, purely relying on brute force to battle Long Ren.

It might be enough to deal with ordinary Trainers.

To deal with Long Ren?

The result was the destruction of the second-generation Shadow Team, and the legacy was inherited by Elder Ejin, the cousin of the first-generation Shadow Team leader Eya.

Mana was confused; the little girl was only nine years old this year, and if she had ideas, she could participate in the second Orre tournament next year.

Nearby.

Other contestants or former contestants who came to watch the match left one after another.

As the saying goes, everything depends on comparison; All Baimu's tactics couldn't be said to be amazing, but they instantly exposed Tobias's shortcomings.

When a numerical monster meets a numerical monster, whichever Trainer is worse is whichever is embarrassed.

This guy's path in the past was too smooth.

There were no pebbles at all!

On the internet, the evaluation of Tobias also set off a storm, and many people's worship began to turn into a yearning for Legendary Pokémon.

——"I can really do it if I go up."

Became a unified concept for many Trainers.

But at the moment in the arena.

Everything was still calm, and the internet storm temporarily didn't blow toward the two battling Trainers.

All Baimu recalled Regidrago.

"Well done, basically within expectations."

Two small accidents didn't affect the final direction of the match, but made his side smoother.

Dig Heatran...

Seriously.

He almost thought Heatran had an 【Air Balloon】.

This magical item could make ordinary Pokémon not hit by Ground-type moves and not affected by field-type states.

In that case, his side would have really exploded.

But the items in the animation world... mostly really need to tie a bunch of balloons to Heatran.

All Baimu was a bit complicated, looking at Tobias who was actively approaching.

"I admit defeat. It can be seen that compared to me, you are a Trainer who has truly gained their recognition."

There was no regret of defeat on his face, but rather a satisfied smile, and he reached out his hand: "I wish you smooth sailing!"

"Thanks. May I ask, what do you mean by what you just said?"

All Baimu shook hands with him in a friendly manner, very curious.

What does it mean to be truly recognized?

Could it be——

Tobias explained: "I come from the Oblivia region; you might not have heard of it, the location is relatively remote."

Oblivia region!

Isn't this the main stage of "Pokémon Ranger: Guardian Signs"?

All Baimu suddenly realized something.

Tobias continued: "We don't really use Poké Balls there; everyone gets along well with Pokémon and lives together peacefully.

"To complete my mission, I borrowed the power of Darkrai and the others, so rather than saying I am their Trainer, the word 'friend' might be more accurate."

So that's it!

No wonder Heatran would use Eruption; it turns out it really was the one that appeared in the animation!

All Baimu's expression was a bit complicated; the main means of catching wild Pokémon in the work Guardian Signs was a thing called a Capture Styler.

Only Rangers could hold this thing.

Villains generally used modern high-tech and super-ancient black tech.

"Being able to gain the recognition of the giants must be a very difficult thing."

Tobias smiled: "The giants of Oblivia have stubborn personalities and especially like to lecture people; even the Top Rangers have headaches when they encounter giants."

Top Ranger.

The best among Rangers, the guarantee of combat power.

"Thanks for the compliment......"

All Baimu smiled on the surface, thinking that the two stubborn ones didn't play today.

Rock Pillar and Dragon Pillar were easier to talk to; the former had the temperament of an old urchin, and the latter was more like a teenager.

Electric Pillar was more stubborn, but slowly learned to accept reality.

Those two, Steel Pillar and Ice Pillar......

To be honest, because he had never been able to use the Heart of God on them, and normal communication always couldn't find topics, resulting in both sides always feeling like there was a layer between them.

It was indeed very difficult to deal with such Pokémon with strong self-consciousness, especially Legendary Pokémon with sound minds.

Really want to have a constitution that is loved by all Pokémon.

All Baimu complained internally and said to Tobias: "Defeating you can also be considered a successful revenge."

"Uh?"

"My friend was hit by Darkrai's Dark Void in the final stage of the qualifiers, which led to him not being able to advance."

"I'm very sorry."

Tobias was helpless.

He was actually purely taking the blame for this wave; don't look at Darkrai being expressionless throughout, like a puppet.

In reality, its autonomy in the qualifiers was very large.

This guy, who was warlike and had a bad personality, also deliberately blocked the retreat of the canyon, attacking the contestants who escaped, to satisfy his own bad taste.

Classifying it as Dark-type was not a grievance at all.

But what could Tobias say?

Being able to battle All Baimu, he was already satisfied and didn't care much about his own ranking.

"I wish you can complete your mission, goodbye."

Tobias turned and left.

All Baimu watched him disappear into the contestant passage, thinking about the Ranger spin-off game.

Wait until he's free, go over and take a look?

That's good too.

He turned and left the arena, making room for the cleaning staff.

Outside the passage.

As expected, he was surrounded by people; they were all unfamiliar faces, and Max and others were nowhere to be seen.

"All Baimu! Talk about how you caught the Legendary Giant!"

"Is Regirock the one in the Hoenn desert?"

"Where did Regieleki and Regidrago come from? Does Calyrex, who created the Orre miracle, have anything to do with you?"

One word after another.

It looked like they were all media from unknown places.

All Baimu looked at the faces covered by phones, answered a few harmless questions simply, then easily separated the crowd in front of him and left with a smile.

People along the way were stunned.

"Good, good strength!"

"He wouldn't have caught the giant himself...... hehehe."

"This cold joke is not funny!"

Anyway.

When All Baimu found Otsuka, Max, and them, several people were discussing whether to use force or persuade with good words.

Max unexpectedly belonged to the force faction; he thought that in the case of crowd congestion, they wouldn't listen to what others said at all, and wouldn't even hear it.

"What you said makes a lot of sense, why don't you do it?"

All Baimu's sudden words sounded.

Several people turned their heads instantly, seeing that the person they wanted to protect had already escaped danger, and couldn't help but smile sheepishly.

Following.

All Baimu led the "King of Mouth" to other arenas.

There were no battles between acquaintances in the first wave, Cheng Hong vs. Gladion, Lady Ayana vs. Long Ren were all in the second wave of the morning.

When arriving at the designated venue, the previous match hadn't finished, and Cheng Hong was adjusting his state.

"Don't be nervous, the opponent is just at the level of a tournament runner-up."

All Baimu comforted Cheng Hong.

It instantly had the opposite effect.

Cheng Hong smiled bitterly: "Boss, do you really have the intention of not making me nervous?"

Tournament runner-up!

He, who had only been training on Wallace's ship for half a year and hadn't even challenged a Gym, was too far away from runner-up.

All Baimu said: "What are you afraid of! Those who can get on Wallace's ship are all tournament runners-up at the bottom!"

Normally, Wallace's ship wasn't something anyone could get on.

If Cheng Hong and others hadn't had the opportunity, and had been briefly trained by All Baimu's face early on, it would have been impossible to get on the ship.

But even so.

They had been tossed for a long time when they chased to the Unova region to get back on the ship.

Thanks to the people of Iron Town being tough, they could withstand the tempering!

"Losing is not a loss! Winning is a huge profit!"

Cheng Hong's self-persuasion words were agreed with.

He was currently in the top 32, a result that many Trainers in Battle Mountain and Saffron City hadn't reached.

It could be called standing out.

You know, Cobalt Street used to be the bottom of Iron Town, only better than those who didn't see the light of day in the underground city mines.

All Baimu didn't speak.

He actually hoped Cheng Hong would have better results; after all, he belonged to the hanging wall, and his childhood friend was the one who truly walked up step by step by his own efforts.

Not long after.

The second wave of matches in the morning began.

Otsuka went to the arena where Lady Ayana was; he had been taken care of by her quite a bit before All Baimu, and it wouldn't be appropriate not to be there.

As for Cheng Hong, there was no such entanglement between brothers, not to mention Boss All Baimu was sitting in town.

"I hope Brother and Mr. Cheng Hong will both work hard!"

Lillie clenched her small fists.

Lusamine made the last phone call, switched to silent, and watched the match.

Once upon a time, she was always busy with work, putting Lillie and Gladion's affairs aside.

But since being parasitized by Nihilego and shocked by Ash's Pikachu Z, she, who had repented, became no longer obsessed with work; after her husband Mohn returned, she directly unloaded the burden.

Now Poké-Sound was thriving, and many people in the company were calling for her to go back to take the helm.

Lusamine refused all of them, saying she would wait until Gladion's match ended before going back.

This also made the relationship between Lillie and her increasingly harmonious, and even Gladion wasn't very rebellious, calmly accepting her care.

"Cheng Hong... this match should have no suspense."

Lusamine looked at Cheng Hong's data and said firmly.

Lillie said seriously: "Mother! The match hasn't started yet, who will win is not certain!"

While speaking.

The starter Pokémon were sent out below.

Cheng Hong was still Gigalith, while Gladion chose Silvally, with a Steel Memory Disc.

A sandstorm blew up.

Unlike those cautious contestants encountered before, a major feature of Gladion was—"Just go for it"!

Not a word more, and definitely not a bunch of strange status moves.

Silvally entered the field and swung 【Multi-Attack】 at Gigalith's head; Gigalith's physical defense wasn't low, but the multi-attribute attack was as high as 120!

And it turned into a Steel-type that countered Rock-type by borrowing the Steel Memory Disc, hitting Gigalith on the spot.

Fortunately, Cheng Hong had expected it, ordering Gigalith to quickly open Sand Tomb to imprison Silvally's movement.

Who knew the latter's special attack was also fierce, and a long-range Flash Cannon fought hard against the shockwave of Earthquake.

Even though it took the damage of Earthquake, it didn't let Gigalith have a good time.

This still wasn't the end.

Gladion changed the disc on the spot, from Steel Memory Disc to Water Memory Disc, and a Surf at Gigalith that rushed down to use Body Press!

Gigalith couldn't resist it at all, and was washed away directly.

The audience stands were in an uproar.

The operation of changing discs on the spot was too flashy, and even the tournament organizers didn't expect it, so they hurriedly held a meeting to discuss.

Some people thought that the disc was related to Silvally's ability, and changing discs on the spot was justified, no different from 【Libero】 and 【Protean】.

But others refuted that the memory disc belonged to the ranks of extra items, and the rules stipulated that Trainers were only allowed to bring one kind of item for a single Pokémon.

The former immediately stated that Gladion had also changed discs in the qualifiers, so it couldn't be used in the main tournament?

The latter thought that the qualifier mode was different from the main tournament, and couldn't be classified as the same category.

Finally.

The result was that changing discs at will was prohibited from the next match, if Gladion could win.

The tournament organizers also prepared an apology statement, wanting to pay for their negligence.

But in fact.

Everyone could understand.

In this tournament, there were too many inexplicable Pokémon, seen or unseen, and many viewers couldn't even recognize their names, let alone discuss fairness.

As for whether Gladion could win......

It could only be said that the situation was a bit weird.

Just when everyone felt he had the upper hand, Cheng Hong suddenly turned into a gambler, sending out Excadrill to quickly approach Silvally by Sand Rush, and a close-range 【Fissure】!

Gladion didn't even have time to change the Flying Memory Disc.

This could also work?

Many viewers couldn't believe it, and the Pokémon Gladion sent out next made them feel confused again.

"A... metal-colored huge Poké Ball?"

"Magearna!"

All Baimu was shocked; this sister of Lillie was almost plucked bald by her brother!

But sending Steel-Fairy against Steel-Ground?

Huh?
