Chapter 1396: The

Diantha's voice was very low, but the ears of the Champions nearby were sharp.

All Baimu could clearly feel the footsteps of the few people nearby pause, and surprise appeared in the eyes of those further away.

Especially Cynthia, who was closest, her eyes suddenly became sharp.

Among the eight people present, only the young Iris and Ash didn't understand, their faces filled with strange expressions.

What daughter? What return her to me?

All Baimu maintained a smile, and even his lips didn't move much as he whispered: "Beautiful lady, were you doing that on purpose?"

"Ah~ was I?"

Diantha covered her mouth, looking very innocent.

It must be said that if she used her current acting skills to act, she wouldn't be able to win Best Actress.

It was too clumsy, to the point where those around couldn't tell whether what she just said was true or false.

A joke?

They looked at All Baimu in unison.

Gossip is human nature; even Champions can't help but be curious. Everyone wants to know what the situation is with the daughter Diantha mentioned.

Legendary movie star, Kalos Champion secretly married and had children? Secret husband is actually Orre—

Many rumors flashed through everyone's minds.

Is it true!

Is there a family ethics drama to watch while participating in the Masters Eight?

The Champions were led by staff back to the player preparation room, and as soon as they entered, they saw a black-haired little girl holding flowers, waiting silently.

Beside her floated a relatively unfamiliar Pokémon.

"Mo—Auntie!"

An Xing'er almost called her Mother, but fortunately changed it in time.

Diantha showed excitement and happiness, stepped forward quickly, and hugged her tightly in her arms, "An Xing'er! My good daughter! Finally saw you! Your Uncle All Baimu is really a bad guy!"

The other Champions looked at this scene, and their brains were stunned for a moment.

Isn't she a sister?

You really have a daughter? And she's this big?

This height is at least six or seven years old, right?

How old were you when you gave birth?

They really look alike!

Question marks appeared on their foreheads in unison; Cynthia and Steven looked at the speechless All Baimu, hoping to get an answer from the latter.

Low EQ No. 1 Ash screamed: "Eh??? Diantha's daughter? So Diantha is married?"

"Is that so?"

Low EQ No. 2 Iris followed and screamed.

The staff in the lounge had cold sweat on his forehead; did he hear some incredible secret?

"I say, big sister, can you stop causing trouble? Is she born by you, so you call her daughter?"

All Baimu stepped forward and forcefully plucked An Xing'er from Diantha's arms.

Diantha chased after him dissatisfied, "Why isn't she born by 'me', and you actually called me big sister? I'm going to be angry!"

"The you in the parallel world can only count as your sister, not yourself; don't get it wrong! Did you carry her for ten months?"

He said sonorously.

Even Champions have times when they are unreasonable.

Especially when Diantha thought An Xing'er was monopolized by All Baimu, although she wasn't born by her carrying for ten months, the movie star lady really treated her as her own daughter.

She even had an unrealistic fantasy.

The Champions around heard the conversation between the two and finally understood the situation.

"Parallel world? Didn't expect that such things that only exist in fantasy would really appear."

Cynthia was very interested and stepped forward, waving to the slightly shy An Xing'er, and smiled: "Hello, I'm Cynthia."

"Hello, I know you, the female Champion of Sinnoh." An Xing'er said timidly.

The pitiful and cute little expression instantly melted Cynthia.

She suddenly began to understand Diantha's "obsessive" behavior just now; if it were her who had such a daughter, she definitely wouldn't be able to hold back, right?

Iris and Ash also introduced themselves one after another, while male Champions like Leon were relatively reserved, waiting for Diantha to grab An Xing'er back again before asking All Baimu to satisfy their curiosity.

After listening to his brief account of the future Lumiose City, several people felt a bit envious.

"Parallel world, I haven't adventured for many years."

Leon was also an adventurer who climbed mountains and crossed seas without retreating in his early years; unfortunately, since becoming the Champion of the Galar region, he basically hadn't truly adventured anymore.

When going to the wild on weekdays, he mostly felt the scenery.

Lance felt the same way about Leon's words; he served as a Pokémon G-Man and had no chance to adventure everywhere at all; it was already not easy to exercise his Dragonite and others from time to time to ensure that their combat power didn't decline.

Among the three, only Steven was the most relaxed, often going out to adventure to mine precious and rare stones.

What he envied was that there might be some special minerals in the parallel world—

Even if Steven hadn't finished exploring the Pokémon world he was currently in, he had already started considering the problem of the parallel world.

On Ash's side, he was quickly squeezed out by the women of all sizes, and had no choice but to come to their side.

To be honest, the atmosphere in the player preparation room before and after All Baimu came was truly different.

Before, everyone was very serious, with few words between them, probably all thinking about adjusting their state.

As soon as All Baimu came, all kinds of unexpected situations followed.

Even the most introverted people couldn't help but become extroverted.

Ash, this social butterfly, was familiar with everyone present, and the atmosphere in the preparation room was unprecedentedly lively.

But soon, someone came to remind them.

"Excuse me, everyone, the stage in the center of the arena has been cleared, and the match can start soon. Please prepare, the two Champions for the first round."

The Masters Eight only holds two matches a day, one in the morning and one in the afternoon, and even rests for a day before the finals, giving the Champions sufficient rest time.

Leon and Diantha looked at each other and nodded to each other.

An Xing'er clenched her small fists, shouting "Mother, come on" in her heart—if Leon weren't present, she would have shouted it out loud.

Suddenly.

Leon clapped his hands.

"Everyone, I have a proposal."

The Champions looked at him.

He said: "The rules of the World Championships limit each Trainer to use only one system. In my opinion, this rule undoubtedly limits everyone's full strength..."

"I propose! Lift all restrictions on systems!" He said sonorously.

This sentence was originally prepared by Leon to wait until the finals to say; he was worried that he wouldn't be able to convince all the Champions.

Champions are proud and don't want any unfair situations to happen.

But Leon just wanted to battle with the complete Champions, not the "incomplete" version of the Champions.

Especially Lance.

When he learned that this person's Dragonite could achieve Mega Evolution, he immediately had the idea of wanting to battle his Dynamax, and also taste the Mega Evolution.

It's a pity that he never got his wish.

Now, taking advantage of the good atmosphere in the preparation room, Leon struck while the iron was hot and said his thoughts.

He looked at All Baimu, hoping to get the latter's affirmation.

After a short hesitation, All Baimu also said: "I think Leon is right; compared to choosing one, I prefer to have them all!"

He said this to Steven.

Among the four systems currently known, he only lacks Terastallization.

Ash quickly followed the group, "I also agree! I really want to battle Mr. Lance's Mega Dragonite!"

Iris saw that the person she liked agreed, and immediately cast a vote of approval.

After the other Champions looked at each other, they also agreed one after another.

So.

The news was passed out by the staff.

When the host announced it, it immediately caused countless excited cheers; they had long wanted to see it like this!

The restriction of a single system certainly made the match relatively fair, but it also made many viewers quite dissatisfied; in their view, if the object they supported could also Mega Evolve/Dynamax/Terastallize, they definitely wouldn't lose!

This change can be described as hitting their hearts!

Behind the scenes of the tournament, the corners of Shanren's mouth couldn't help but rise.

The change of this rule is undoubtedly the greatest help to All Baimu; after all, he is the only one in the whole field who has all four systems.

Stable!

All stable!

Shanren almost opened champagne on the spot.

Hop in the auditorium learned of it and knew immediately that it must have been his brother's proposal.

As Leon's brother, he knows best how "arrogant" his brother is; that kind of domineering spirit that doesn't put anyone in his eyes and only he is the strongest can be described as unprecedented.

"Come on! Brother! Defeat all the Champions blocking you!"

He secretly clenched his fists, cheering for his brother.

Inside the player preparation room.

Diantha held An Xing'er, drawing strength from her small, soft body.

"With An Xing'er's flowers and encouragement, Mother will definitely win! Just watch!"

She said with burning eyes.

An Xing'er nodded wildly, "Hmm! Definitely can!"

Immediately, under the prompt of the staff, Diantha and Leon looked at each other and walked out in big strides.

Except for Ash who likes to watch the match in the auditorium, the other Champions remained in the preparation room, watching the battle through the huge floor-to-ceiling windows.

As the tournament officially began, everyone's emotions gradually cooled down, and they didn't continue to communicate as they had just now, but waited silently for the start of the first match of the first round.

"Diantha and Leon..."

All Baimu looked at the two portraits on the big screen in the arena, and couldn't help but think of the original plot—

Rillaboom one-on-four!

Yes.

Leon's Rillaboom, relying on its strength that was exaggeratedly powerful, kicked Chesnaught dizzy with one kick, knocked down Aurorus with one punch, stabbed Gourgeist with drum beats, and finally finished off Goodra with a flying kick.

Successfully achieved the feat of one-on-four.

What? You ask for details? Asking means there are none!

The animation was presented in the form of PPT throughout, and there were even scenes where Hawlucha punched Dragapult, and Tyrantrum suspected of using Hyper Beam on Dragapult.

Heaven knows who put the "Identified" status on it.

In short, Journeys was relatively perfunctory when it wasn't Ash's battle; the animation director himself said that he didn't want to describe the battle process between Champions at all.

It was only after having no choice that the manuscript was written.

From this, it is not difficult to find how rough some of the content is.

So, in the world he is in, under the condition of rule changes, what kind of style can Diantha play?

All Baimu is really looking forward to it.

He turned his head to look at An Xing'er, who had a serious little face, thinking that the presence of the cheap daughter should bring a lot of strength to the movie star lady.

"Out!"

Iris's excited voice entered his ears.

All Baimu looked at the field below, and saw Leon and Diantha walking out from the two passages, one left and one right.

They waved their arms to the audience around, and finally stood in the designated seats.

Wyndon Stadium is undoubtedly the largest competition venue in Galar, but the field is relatively simple, just a very ordinary flat ground.

But the more ordinary it is, the higher the requirements for Pokémon and Trainers.

Not far from the Kalos region, the Elite Four were doing their own things, but their eyes were fixed on the screens of TVs or mobile phones.

Outside the arena, Team Rocket's trio finished their interview work. Jessie saw Diantha's beautiful figure on the big screen, jealousy mixed with a bit of envy.

After all, her dream was also to become the most famous female star in the world like Diantha.

The two are even about the same age.

Unfortunately, their fates are completely different.

Jessie said sourly: "Hmph, then let me see what kind of acting she can contribute."

"Dear audience! The first match of the first round! Both players have entered the field!" In the host's passionate voice, the well-known referee Danpe stood on Aegislash and read the match rules.

Leon smiled slightly and suddenly threw off the cloak on his body.

Wow!

The auditorium immediately erupted in screams.

"Leon! Leon! Leon!"

Wyndon Stadium is undoubtedly Leon's home field, and the people who support him are the most, but Diantha is fearless.

"Mr. Leon, standing here, I carry the dreams and expectations of Kalos Trainers. Let you see the brilliance that we can bloom!"

Diantha said with a smile.

Facing her provocation, Leon just said confidently: "Just bring it on! No matter who it is! I will not lose!"

Doo—

The loud whistle spread throughout the arena, and the tense atmosphere infected everyone.

Danpe shouted: "Please send out the first Pokémon!"

As the words fell.

Both sides threw their Poké Balls forward at the same time!

Bang bang!

"Hooli!"

Accompanied by a vigorous call, a Rillaboom with a sturdy figure and explosive muscle lines landed steadily.

Its body was covered with dark green and black fur, its arms were as thick as pillars, and it held drumsticks carved from ancient tree trunks tightly.

Just as All Baimu thought, Leon's Pokémon was exactly the Rillaboom with the best record in the Masters Eight!

It's a pity that its ability is not Grassy Surge, otherwise the strength might rise even further.

After all, the gorilla is a ruthless character that almost dominated the Sword and Shield battles, and has a high appearance rate in both singles and doubles!

And opposite Rillaboom, the elegant Gardevoir appeared in the center of the field.

"Sana~"

It called softly, its slender arms raised slightly, and there was inexplicably a bit of tenderness in its eyes looking at Rillaboom.

Rillaboom was startled, then shook its head quickly.

Leon laughed: "Worthy of being the ace Pokémon of the Champion movie star, the acting is truly outstanding, making my Pokémon also unable to help but be moved."

"Then you have to be careful, the better-looking people and Pokémon are, the better they are at deceiving."

Diantha responded with a smile.

After the short exchange, both sides gave orders at the same time.

"Knock Off!"

"Moonblast!"

Both sides went all out! ===== CHAPTER 1397 =====
