Chapter 1444: Climbing the Ranks Madly, Invitation to Certify as an Elite-level Trainer

What Su Hao worried about most now was whether the Nova Organization would target the Divine Bird Sanctuary. Their level of understanding of Legendary Pokémon made even Su Hao feel surprised; there was no guarantee they wouldn't find out about Dark Lugia from somewhere and come to cause trouble.

Fortunately, four of the ten seats of the Nova Organization had been solo-killed by Su Hao, so their range of activity should shrink, and the frequency of them causing trouble would also decrease.

Seeing that Articuno took the matter he mentioned so seriously, Su Hao, feeling slightly relieved, smiled: "Then I'll head back first."

Articuno pretended to look disgusted, turned its head away, and waved its wings:

【Go, go, don't come to see me if you haven't obtained the title of Elite Four; I'd be ashamed.】

Su Hao smiled and didn't expose Articuno's disguise: "Haha, I won't make you ashamed; we will be back soon."

Without waiting for Articuno's response, Su Hao boarded the Hisuian Braviary and flew toward the direction of the Shenzhou League.

Watching Su Hao's departing back, Articuno groomed its feathers for a while before looking toward the distance on the other side and muttering:

【Other Legendary Pokémon are also waking up and descending one after another. In the future, what will this world become?】

On May 1st, Su Hao set off to return to the Shenzhou League, arrived at the coastal area of the Shenzhou League on May 2nd, and after greeting Su Xu, he moved between the major cities of the Shenzhou League, like a tornado, completely turning the battle world upside down.

He didn't do anything else, just repeated matching for ranked battles, fighting, and then improving his ranking. In the top 100 of the Master Ball tier, if you want to improve your ranking quickly, you can only defeat Trainers with a higher ranking than yourself.

The points gained from defeating people with a lower ranking than yourself are very few. Wanting to use points to improve your ranking is undoubtedly a fantasy. This, in a sense, also increased the gold content of the ranking, completely filtering out the freeloaders.

But conversely, if a Trainer truly possesses strength, their momentum of advancement will be extremely terrifying.

One week, just seven days, Su Hao moved between the major cities of the Shenzhou League, usually one battle in the morning and one in the afternoon. In just fourteen battles, Su Hao raised his ranking from 60th to 20th in one breath.

The entire Trainer circle was completely shaken. How long has Su Hao been a Trainer?

Registered and received his starter Pokémon in February of '23. From now, it has only been about a year and three months.

But his momentum of advancement was like a tornado that crushed and swept up everything in its path. Countless veteran Trainers who had occupied their positions for many years had only two options before him: miserable defeat or defeat.

After just over a month, the Pokémon in Su Hao's team seemed to have completed a metamorphosis, never losing a single battle again.

Whether it was Diancie and Milotic, who dominated the arena with absolute strength, the infinitely powerful yet petite Ogerpon and Incineroar, the Mega Metagross that crushed enemies with terrifying psychic power and attacks, or the Hisuian Braviary that ravaged opponents with storms and the Mega Lucario that played opponents in the palm of its hand.

The strength Su Hao displayed was clearly already in the category of Elite-level Trainers, but the title of the youngest Elite-level Trainer in history had not yet fallen upon him.

Only because he forgot to go and get certified.

May 11, 2024, Imperial Capital Ho-Oh Arena.

In the much-anticipated arena, Su Hao calmly gave the command: "Moonblast."

The shining full moon, transformed from pure Fairy energy, bloomed with a terrifying pillar of energy. This late-Elite level Baxcalibur could no longer drive its scarred body to move and could only be unwillingly swallowed by the energy pillar.

As Baxcalibur's avatar on the big screen went dark, all three of the opponent Trainer's Pokémon lost the ability to battle, and Diancie, standing proudly in the center of the arena, completely became the focus of attention.

Easily defeating two mid-Elite level Pokémon, and after tangling with Baxcalibur, defeating it with a gorgeous posture, calmly achieving a one-versus-three feat, this Diancie was simply strong beyond measure.

Under the opponent Trainer's ugly expression, the referee took a deep breath and announced: "Baxcalibur is unable to battle. Since all three of Elite-level Trainer Xu Wen's Pokémon are unable to battle, Gym-level Trainer Su Hao wins!"

As the referee's voice fell, Su Hao's ranking on the big screen jumped, finally stopping at—10th place!

The entire arena suddenly erupted in overwhelming discussion. They felt that they were witnessing history.

"Even the veteran Dragon Tamer Xu Wen, who has been in the top ten for years, lost. Just how fierce is his momentum?"

"Could it be that he really intends to challenge all the way to first place in one go!?"

Not caring about others' opinions, Su Hao shook hands with his opponent and then led Diancie toward the tunnel.

Su Hao knew very well that perhaps those spectators would think he was very powerful, but relying only on this level, it was far from enough to defeat the Elite Four of the Shenzhou League who were at the pinnacle of the world.

At least for now, neither he nor Diancie had the certainty of victory against the Elite Four who had mastered Mega Evolution, not to mention that the one they planned to challenge was Bai Du, known as the strongest among the Elite Four.

Although that guy is quite scummy, his strength is indeed undeniable. With his own power, he can hold up half the sky in the factional struggles of the Dragon Clan. Apart from those hidden old guys, they are the strongest combat power on the surface.

To defeat Bai Du with 100% certainty, current strength is not enough; they still need to take another step forward...

Walking in the bright tunnel, Su Hao, who was thinking about where to go for training after finishing the ranked battles, was suddenly stopped by someone.

It was an old man with white eyebrows wearing a Zhongshan suit, his figure somewhat thin, his expression kind. Behind him stood a few middle-aged men and women, looking like secretaries.

Their Aura had no malice, and being able to stop people here in the contestant tunnel meant they must have some influence. Su Hao stopped and, together with Diancie, intended to see what this old man wanted.

Seeing Su Hao stop, the kind-faced old man reached out and spoke slowly: "Hello, Gym-level Trainer Su Hao, congratulations on another victory. First, please allow me to introduce myself. I am Mu Wen, the president of the Imperial Capital Trainer Association."

Su Hao raised an eyebrow; this was a big shot. After shaking hands with the other party, he responded: "Hello, President Mu."

Mu Wen nodded slightly, knowing that young people don't like beating around the bush, and stated his purpose directly: "Then I'll ask straight to the point. Do you have any plans to come to the Trainer Association to certify as an Elite-level Trainer recently?"

"To tell you the truth, I am here to invite you to go to the Imperial Capital Trainer Association for certification."
