Chapter 292

Time came to December 22nd, Monday.

Coincidentally, ever since the Masters Tournament began, the southern region of Paldea, which should have had light rain for many days, had unexpectedly been sunny for many days in a row.

This abnormal phenomenon that violated meteorological laws left relevant experts and students completely baffled.

However, because it had no impact on the ecology of the Paldea region, and instead made many Pokémon more active due to the comfortable temperature, they quickly and happily accepted this somewhat warm winter.

"This thing is actually quite useful..."

Walking on the streets of Mesagoza, Xiang Qingyu put his hands in his pockets, playing with the "Sunny Day Cinderella" produced by the system, and looked up at the boundless blue sky and white clouds, feeling refreshed.

As expected of the black technology produced by a comedy anime.

If he could figure out the principle, even Primal Kyogre wouldn't be able to compete with his weather in the future...

While complaining in his heart, Xiang Qingyu quickly arrived at the open-air arena located in the center of Mesagoza.

Just today, the Dragon-type Masters Tournament, which countless spectators had been looking forward to, finally welcomed its final curtain call.

The finals were Champion Zhulan versus Lance.

One is the current face of Sinnoh, a rookie Champion who swept the entire Sinnoh League with invincible crushing power in one year;

The other is the face of Kanto, a Dragon-type Elite Four member recognized as having Champion potential but unfortunately having slightly worse luck.

While symbolizing the transition between the old and the new, it was also an epic collision of equals.

Therefore, by the time Xiang Qingyu arrived at the spectator stands, they were already packed, and countless people were shouting enthusiastically, waiting for the exciting battle to unveil its curtain.

"By the finals, the atmosphere of watching the match is indeed different."

Xiang Qingyu nodded, and after a moment of thought, he immediately took four Poké Balls from his pocket.

Since that's the case, let these little guys feel the atmosphere of high-level ball matches in advance.

Maybe one day in the future, as a rookie in Paldea, he would also have the chance to bring them onto a stage of this level, right?

Several red lights flashed, and Xiang Qingyu's little guys appeared in the front row of the spectator stands.

Among them, a big guy seemed to have mixed in.

"Gao..."

So annoying, can't you just let me stay in the ball and sleep?

Miraidon yawned, looked up at the noisy crowd above, and snorted with dissatisfaction.

And its appearance instantly attracted the attention of Clair on the side.

As an expert in raising Dragon-type Pokémon, Clair could tell at a glance that this Pokémon of Xiang Qingyu's was a dragon she had never seen before.

Only...

Normally, shouldn't Dragon-type Pokémon pursue powerful strength and be more excited about such a high-profile venue?

Why did Xiang Qingyu's seem to be the exact opposite?

Clair pondered in her heart, but because the two weren't that familiar, she didn't ask this somewhat rude question.

"Ying—!"

As soon as Bagon opened its eyes, it suddenly discovered that it had arrived at a very high place, and it became excited, walking toward the railing with a swaggering pace.

"Riolu!"

Riolu looked serious and hugged Bagon, who had almost fallen headfirst.

After handing Bagon to Xiang Qingyu, its gaze quickly returned to the battle field below, quietly waiting for the match to start.

This was also the first time it had seen the big sister's battle in a formal occasion.

Watching the battle between strong people, maybe it could also gain some insights.

As for Eevee...

Xiang Qingyu watched Eevee, who had been skillfully lured away by Caitlin's psychic power and was enjoying itself in her arms, and couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

Using psychic power to pet Eevee, Caitlin, you are also a ruthless person.

But forget it, anyway, it's about to evolve, so let it be before it evolves.

"The broadcast has started, family!"

As Rotom entered broadcast mode, Xiang Qingyu quickly appeared on the streaming screen of the broadcast room.

【Good, good, the finals are finally here!】

【Teacher Yu's commentary is too professional; I feel bored watching the official broadcast...】

【The Masters Tournament is just for fun; if you really want to learn techniques, you have to come to Teacher Yu's broadcast room!】

Under the surge of countless comments, the popularity of the broadcast room instantly broke through to seven digits, and the trend even increased instead of decreasing, maintaining a momentum of climbing like a rocket.

Even many on-site spectators, after receiving mobile notifications, silently entered the broadcast room, planning to grasp both online and offline.

"You're already at the venue, why are you still playing on your phone?"

On the other side of the spectator stands.

Beside Professor Oak, Blue suddenly noticed Red taking out his phone, and a smile of unknown meaning immediately appeared on the corner of his mouth, and he couldn't help but complain.

"..."

Red didn't speak, only shared the phone screen with Blue.

After noticing the cheerful young man with a sunny smile on the screen, Blue was stunned for a moment, then asked back with a complex expression:

"Is he that Gym Leader Xiang Qingyu who showed off with Pachirisu in the exhibition match before?"

Because of his outstanding performance in the exhibition match, Blue successfully remembered this young man who wasn't much older than himself but had already stood on the stage of the Masters Tournament.

"Hmm."

After Red responded, he didn't speak again.

It was Professor Oak beside the two who was attracted, and after looking down, he suddenly realized the truth.

"It's that child Xiang Qingyu; he is very strong, especially in tactical design and command, he is indeed very talented."

"So you two should indeed learn well; maybe he will give some details that you haven't noticed."

"Grandpa, do you know him?"

Blue raised his eyebrows.

There aren't many trainers who can be praised by his grandfather, and the strength of each one is undoubtedly strong.

Even he himself, at present, is still far from the level where he can be recognized by his grandfather.
