Chapter 1207: Masters Eight Begins

Rumble—!!

The pitch-black storm wreathed in scarlet light ravaged the arena.

The terrifying shockwave produced by the energy explosion swept up smoke and flames, constantly rising in the arena, causing the surrounding defensive barriers to tremble continuously, blurring everyone's vision.

"This is..."

As everyone knows, the conventional form of the Dark Pulse skill is a continuous spherical shape, or a multi-layered ring shape.

The Dark Pulse before their eyes was vastly different from the conventional one, almost to the point of being unrecognizable. Even the well-informed commentator found it difficult to make an accurate judgment at this moment.

Just as he was about to speak, the surging black-red flames in the arena stopped abruptly, revealing Hydreigon wreathed in fierce flames.

Beneath it, in the pitch-black impact-like crater, Metagross hung down powerlessly.

Instant kill!

Compared to Mega Charizard X, which still had some strength and could thus walk a few rounds with Aggron, Alain's Metagross had no ability to stand up to Hydreigon at all.

"Sha-sang—!!"

The pitch-black giant dragon spread its six wide wings, its three heads roared at the sky, showing its ferocity!

Everyone only felt their scalps tingling, and all were deterred to the depths of their hearts by the roar.

What a terrifying Pokémon!

And also—

A handsome Pokémon!

As Hydreigon gradually restrained its arrogant posture, cheers from the auditorium suddenly erupted, a tsunami of sound rushing straight into the clouds!

Among the audience who like to watch battles, who doesn't like such an existence that is both powerful and confident?

One of the main reasons Hydreigon is popular is that it is arrogant enough to poke into the hearts of many young people.

Envy and longing became important reasons why they worshiped All Baimu and Hydreigon.

I believe that after today, not only will the number of Hydreigon's fans increase again, but the number of Trainers starting to cultivate Deino will also increase.

The commentator sighed: "A Pokémon that has defeated Legendary Pokémon, its powerful strength is enough to make other players unable to cope; this is a fierce dragon crossing the river!"

"Alain..."

"Ches..."

Manon and Chespin looked at Alain's back, feeling lost as if they were in the same situation.

The opponent was too powerful, so powerful that it made her recall the scene when she first met Alain and Mega Charizard X...

No.

Perhaps even stronger!

Primal Kyogre, Primal Groudon, and Mega Rayquaza flashed through her mind.

Even if Hydreigon didn't perform as exaggeratedly as them, in a sense, it didn't seem to be inferior?

Manon didn't have a concrete concept of the power of the cover gods, just feeling that Hydreigon was extremely similar to the super-ancient Pokémon in terms of momentum.

Chespin sighed and lay in Manon's arms, sticking out its tongue.

Although the battle time wasn't long, it still made it shout until its mouth was dry and it was exhausted.

Seeing this, Manon took out a water bottle to feed Chespin.

In the arena.

Alain gazed at Hydreigon, his clenched fists slowly loosened, and he lowered his head in relief.

The referee approached Metagross, confirmed its state, raised his right hand and shouted: "Metagross is unable to battle, Hydreigon wins, the winner is—All Baimu!"

Wow!

Applause sounded like thunder.

The commentator shouted: "The winner is decided! All Baimu wins another game! The undefeated legend continues! It also brings two legendary-level figures closer together!"

The legendary figures he spoke of were naturally Leon, who was currently in first place.

Won!

All Baimu raised his right hand and patted the head of Hydreigon, which flew back quickly.

"Sha-sang~"

"Well done."

He looked at the big screen in the distance again, and the ranking rose at a speed visible to the naked eye, successfully arriving at his goal for this trip a few seconds later—

Ninth place.

"Done."

A smile appeared on the corner of All Baimu's mouth. He looked at Alain in the distance, feeling quite gratified in his heart.

Thank heaven and earth, with this wave of key points from the other party, he could successfully reach the position of the promotion match.

Wait for me!

Champion!

He looked at Diantha, who was exactly one place higher than him and had already returned to the Master Class, very much looking forward to the upcoming gatekeeper battle.

Should be able to meet, right?

All Baimu thought that it wouldn't be the case that Diantha would battle someone else first and fly to seventh place.

"Sha-sang~ Sha-sang~!"

While he was lost in thought, Hydreigon kept rubbing its head against his chest, acting like a spoiled child and asking for credit, as if saying: "Look, look, am I not very powerful."

All Baimu's slightly "perfunctory" praise made this childish young dragon very dissatisfied. It felt that it performed much better than Aggron, killing the opponent instantly without relying on any external force.

Isn't it stronger than the big monster that fought back and forth with Mega Charizard X?

Let it be the ace?

Let it be the ace~

Hydreigon's blood-red eyes were sparkling. Why was it so eager to appear in battle?

It was precisely Aggron's performance that made it feel that it had a chance to take advantage.

What is an ace?

If you can't kill the opponent instantly, why call it an ace!

It pestered All Baimu, its posture completely different from the fierce and arrogant posture just now. When it was presented on the big screen through the camera, it drew amazement and laughter from many viewers.

A spoiled Dragon King?

How interesting!

Many young people who worshiped it were not disappointed. They liked majestic Pokémon, but they also cared about the Pokémon's favorability toward themselves.

All Baimu was annoyed by it, grabbed its cheek and said: "Stop talking nonsense! Don't get carried away just because you bullied an ordinary Pokémon!"

The only one who could call a pseudo-legendary an ordinary Pokémon was the current All Baimu.

And Alain's team was indeed very deformed.

The ace Mega Charizard X had strength infinitely close to a Champion, while the other members were not even a star and a half apart.

It was very much like the feeling when All Baimu raised Aggron to level ninety, while other Pokémon were generally only level seventy-something.

However, Alain didn't have a cheat, which only showed his extraordinary preference for his ace.

"Woo-woo-woo..."

Hydreigon was unhappy.

It naturally knew that Metagross and Mega Charizard X couldn't be compared, but it just wanted to steal a chicken.

What if the Trainer had a mental breakdown?

Hydreigon couldn't help but think self-deceivingly.

Look, actually, the dragon itself felt that there was little hope, and its actions were entirely out of consideration for acting cute.

Far away.

Alain recalled Metagross, looked at All Baimu and Hydreigon, and approached them voluntarily after some hesitation.

"Bai... Champion! Long time no see!"

"Long time no see, Alain, you've become much stronger." He responded with a smile, and both sides shook hands in a friendly manner.

The two had no grudges, and Ash successfully reached the top of Kalos properly, so how could All Baimu look at the other party with colored glasses?

Moreover, this was a great benefactor who sent points to him from a thousand miles away!

"Compared to me, you've become much stronger." Alain shook his head slightly. He had indeed improved, but he didn't dare to be arrogant in front of All Baimu.

The two sides communicated briefly, left contact information for each other, and then parted.

As always.

This battle gained a high number of clicks in Pokémon.

The comments in the comment section surged, reaching thousands in just ten minutes, and the core of everyone's discussion was—

Who will be the next victim?

All Baimu's all-win record made him a scourge in the World Coronation Series, and with another scourge and former king Leon at the top of the ranking, unable to rise any further.

Whoever was eaten points by All Baimu became a highly watched part of the World Coronation Series.

Many people guessed it was Diantha, who was currently in eighth place and had returned to the Master Class, and some guessed the Sinnoh Elite Four member Flint in seventh place.

Even more guessed Steven!

Why?

Because he is in tenth place right now, can't play the promotion match, but can play against people who want to play the promotion match!

All Baimu was sandwiched between veteran Champions, looking very unlucky.

Actually, everyone knew that when he fought other Champions, it was hard to say who would win!

——

In the hotel.

All Baimu was packing his luggage.

Since the competition was over, he prepared to return to Orre early to continue special training for the Masters Eight.

Knock knock!

Knocking on the door.

He turned his head in confusion, and Blissey opened the door at his signal.

"Sorry to bother you~ All Baimu!"

Appearing outside was Leon in a noble dress. He didn't wear the symbolic baseball cap and Champion cape, and his temperament was gentle and low-key.

All Baimu put down the sundries in his hand and greeted him, "Why are you here? You didn't tell me in advance."

The relationship between the two was no different from friends, so honorifics were no longer mentioned.

"It's about the World Coronation Series."

Leon's tone was relaxed. After entering the room, he said gently: "You are only one step away from the Master Class, so there are some things I want you to know in advance."

Masters Eight?

All Baimu felt something in his heart.

Sure enough, Leon told him that as the calls on the Internet became stronger, the department responsible for the World Coronation Series within the Galar League decided to hold a Masters Eight tournament after consulting with other leagues.

"I think so many Champions are participating in this year's session, so I think everyone can climb to the Master Class. At that time, everyone will compete in the Master Class to truly distinguish the world's strongest king!"

Leon said sonorously.

All Baimu could see anticipation and excitement in his eyes.

This guy...

Is it that he himself wants to battle more Champions?

Reaching first place too early caused him to not be able to rank in a competition for a month or two, and most of the time he still fought with his old opponent Raihan.

No matter how gentle Leon was, he would get bored.

The holding of the Masters Eight could allow him to enjoy the opportunity to battle other Champions.

For example, Cynthia, for example, Steven.

Lance and Diantha had both been defeated by him, and Leon had also gained a long-lost sense of satisfaction from them.

That kind of stimulation of possibly being defeated at any time.

Of course, the opponent he most wanted to battle—

"All Baimu! On that stage, let's compete!" Leon put his hand on All Baimu's shoulder.

Cynthia and Steven were both very strong, one was the strongest female Champion, and the other was the strongest Mega Evolution; but in Leon's view, they couldn't be compared with All Baimu, who was vaguely comparable to him.

He really didn't expect that he would have a day when he wanted to battle someone so much.

"I will, but you have to be careful. Heroes in the world are like crucian carp crossing the river; just staring at me will cause you to flip the car!"

All Baimu hinted.

Unexpectedly, Leon actually understood his subtext.

"You mean... Ash?"

"Huh? You are also optimistic about him?"

"Of course! Both you and Ash make me look forward to it very much." Leon laughed loudly and handed him a card at the same time.

All Baimu took it and looked at the text on it.

"The 73rd Biyori International Film Festival Invitation..."

Leon said: "This was entrusted to me by Champion Diantha. Before the official competition, go and see the opponent's achievements in another field!"

"... Ha?"

All Baimu was stunned.

He just finished battling Alain in the morning, and his battle with Diantha was already scheduled for the evening?

Diantha even sent him an invitation to the film festival!

This is thinking that she will definitely win!

Although according to common sense, it is very abnormal for him to lose to Alain with the strength he showed.

"The purpose of my coming is to say these things."

Leon was about to go out, but suddenly stopped, tilted his head and said: "I will have people protect that tree on the peak of the Crown Tundra... persuade Calyrex to come back and see it often; after all, that is also its hometown."

Upon learning that Calyrex was betrayed by humans and sealed for ten thousand years, and that it was All Baimu who unsealed it and restored its power.

Leon was incomparably fortunate and grateful.

He believed that Calyrex could bring miraculous gifts, and also believed that Calyrex could give destruction where all things wither.

If not for All Baimu's efforts, what would welcome Galar would be a disaster.

So even if the region's cover god was abducted, Leon still had to thank All Baimu, thank him for everything he did before.

All Baimu nodded: "I'll try my best."

Calyrex naturally wouldn't refuse his request, but he didn't want to force Calyrex to eat shit while holding its nose.

Leon said goodbye and left.

The door closed, All Baimu sat on the edge of the bed looking at the invitation, and the sound of the Poryphone suddenly sounded in his ears, "Film festival! Great! I've wanted to go for a long time!"

"Qi-duo~"

"happy!"

Two other voices sounded one after another.

All Baimu turned his head and was shocked to see Porygon2, Mawile, and Blissey surrounding him at some point.

He realized that these three were the ones among the Pokémon who loved watching movies more.

Especially Mawile, which watched all kinds of TV series and movies, once expressed that it wanted to try filming a documentary after the Trainer reached the top.

A senior self-media blogger!

It loved filming vlogs and appearing on camera, so this day would come sooner or later; All Baimu didn't think there was any problem.

"The letter says the film festival starts the day after tomorrow; shall we change the flight now?"

He flicked the invitation.

The summer was scorching, not only making people feel irritable, but even many things were arranged extremely tightly, making people breathless like hot air.

Seeking the opinions of many Pokémon, except for Steelix who wanted to return to Mount Silver, the other Pokémon agreed.

Why did Steelix want to go back?

For one thing, it knew that after battling Alain, the probability of it appearing in the next battle was not high.

For another, it had been suffocated these days; Galar didn't allow digging holes at all!

"Okay, go back and stay well."

All Baimu naturally felt sorry for Steelix; such a big block, besides training, could only stay in the Poké Ball, and it would get bored no matter how much it slept.

Flight changed.

He sent a text message to Shanren about rushing to Kalos.

Shanren: "Confirmed? Battling Diantha? Then I have to start warming up!"

All Baimu: "Wait until the announcement is released, then hurry up and heat it up."

Shanren: "Can you win?"

All Baimu: "Huh? Is someone talking?"

Shanren: "If you lose, I'll laugh you to death, you just be arrogant!"

Sending a haha emoji, All Baimu put his phone into his pants pocket, heard the broadcast announcing the flight information, and immediately got up to go forward.

Who knew that before taking two steps, he was blocked by a weirdo wearing a mask.

"You got the wrong flight!"

A low female voice came. ===== CHAPTER 1208 =====
