Chapter 4466

"Alright, 渡 isn't lying! The champion has indeed taken up a preparatory stance now."

Queen Kikuko spoke up to defuse the tension.

Koga tightened her brow.

Seeing this, Queen Kikuko slightly narrowed her eyes and said, "Koga, I understand your concerns! You haven't received any news of champions from other regions arriving..."

"Of course, champions from other regions also know the strength of our... champion; they won't be foolish enough to come challenge."

After a brief pause, Queen Kikuko continued, "But... have you forgotten that, besides champions from other regions, there is one mysterious region, home to an incalculable number of powerful beings?"

The scene fell into dead silence.

Koga suddenly remembered something, her pupils contracting sharply.

Queen Kikuko's voice remained calm and unhurried, "That region, the very moment it appeared in our world, implanted memories of it into ordinary civilians."

Only we, those who stand atop the world's peak, lacked those memories... as if a massive memory implant had been performed."

"More importantly, back then, Champion Zhi personally welcomed a youth from that world... and at the time, Champion Zhi's attitude was completely equal."

A somber expression also surfaced on Du's face; his lips moved slightly, but finally he sighed, saying nothing, though shadows still lingered in his eyes.

Although during this period they had coexisted harmoniously with that world, who could say that region held absolute goodwill toward our Pokémon civilization? As high-ranking members of the Pokémon League, we had gathered intelligence on that world's global landscape and history... that world had been plagued by endless warfare throughout history, with countless lives lost in multiple world wars... even now, true global peace had not been achieved there; many regions still raged with artillery fire, their people displaced and homeless... let alone that world's connection to another mysterious, enigmatic Digital World, suspected of housing countless beings rivaling the divine beasts of our Pokémon world... from every perspective, we had no reason to lower our guard.

"If these people truly come from that side, then their challenge this time may be to test our limits!"

Koga's voice grew serious, "If that's true, Champion Zhi cannot afford to lose this battle."

Even though they trusted Zhi's strength, all three Elite Four members now felt rising concern.

As they pondered repeatedly, suddenly—a sharp, resonant hum rang out, and the space beside Zhi rippled violently.

Then, Red suddenly appeared beside Zhi.

Kikuko: "......"

Du: "!!!!"

Koga: "......"

The expressions of the three Elite Four members all changed.

They stared at each other, utterly bewildered, even doubting whether they had misseen.

"The guy who suddenly appeared beside Champion Zhi looks remarkably similar to Champion Zhi!"

"My god... could he be Zhi's brother? But why have we never heard any information about this? Wait—hold on... that... guy in red also has a Pikachu on his shoulder."

"Fascinating... incredibly fascinating! That guy in red released Mewtwo, right? Mewtwo was actually captured... wait, he's now on the opposite side of the battlefield—so Zhi's opponent this time is this guy who looks just like his brother!"

The three Elite Four members suddenly realized it, but shortly after, their confusion deepened.

Zhi and Red faced each other.

They each released their similar Pokémon one by one, then began battle.

Devastating power swept across the entire battlefield, tearing the earth apart, evaporating lakes, while above, a blazing sun hung in the sky, and torrential rain poured down.

In the Society chat room.

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "Holy shit!"

Tony Isn't the Richest: "Solid. Very powerful."

Wudao Dong Xiang: "I think... this is surely one of the most peak battles in the Pokémon world."

Xiao Zhizhi Shu: "Be bold—delete the 'one of.'"

Kiyohiko Magma: "Indeed, one is the champion of the Pokémon Special world, Red, who crushes with absolute power! The other is Zhi, who has been in the Society for a long time, even teaching many of his Pokémon the techniques of霸气 and chakra..."

Kiyohiko Magma: "Tell me, in Pokémon world history, has anyone ever been stronger than these two?"

""

Du Dao Ya Zi: "Champion Zhi is still holding back this time."

After observing the battlefield for a moment, Du Dao Ya Zi sighed softly.

Ye Wen: "......"

Ye Wen glanced at the apocalyptic scene in the Society livestream, shuddered, and wore a peculiar expression.

You call this holding back? But before Ye Wen could voice his shock, he suddenly recalled the grand, immense Xianyang Divine City he had seen when he came to Zhang Sanfeng... instantly, his astonishment vanished; he calmly watched the Society livestream, feeling the scene before him was no longer beyond comprehension.

Fallen Angel Twelve-Winged Black Cat Clan: "I'm only paying attention to those three Elite Four members! They look like they're questioning reality."

Manual laugh.

""

Yuan Dagu: "I understand how they feel."

Yuan Dagu: "It's like Uchiha Madara happily preparing to cast Infinite Tsukuyomi... then, out of nowhere, the Six Paths Sage appears and starts fighting Sun Wukong from another world... they don't even exchange many blows before shattering the moon right before Madara and all the top ninja."

Then, without any apparent reason, the Six Paths Sage intervened and immediately clashed with Sun Wukong, who had come from another world... They exchanged only a few blows before the moon exploded before the eyes of Uchiha Madara and the other top-tier ninjas.

Ze Tian Gang Ji: "......"

Kill Teacher: "Why does your description have such vivid imagery? I instantly pictured that... scene."

Kill Teacher used his tentacles to cover his face, his lips twitching slightly, unsure what expression to wear.

Tony Isn't the Richest: "That's a brilliant analogy."

""

Hui Yuanai: "I agree with Miss Du Dao Ya Zi—Zhi really hasn't used his full strength."
