Chapter 226: Want to remove entry hazards? Go talk to my Earth Power!

After confirming that the opponent was Wallace, Qingyu knew he had to take this match seriously.

Thinking about it carefully, besides Champion Cynthia, whom he often played games with over voice chat at night, this seemed to be the first time he had matched with a Champion-level opponent?

As the sole face of a region, the title of Champion represents the top-tier power of that region.

Even Raihan, who is called the "Strongest Gym Leader" and "The Person Under Leon" in Galar, wouldn't dare claim to possess Champion-level strength before truly defeating Leon.

Wallace is different.

Although he is only a Water-type Gym Leader in the Hoenn League by position, his strength is nearly 50/50 with Steven, and in one timeline (Emerald), he truly took over the position of Champion.

Even if he isn't an Elite Four member currently, if someone asks "What kind of Champion are you?", Wallace has something to say:

"I am a world-class three-time Pokémon Contest Master!"

"Do the Champions of your nine regions combined have as many Master-level trophies as my Pokémon Contest ones?"

Having matched with such an opponent, Qingyu didn't dare to joke around with the comments anymore; he quickly found his rhythm and devoted himself entirely to the battle.

He was actually quite curious:

If we only look at commanding ability, how much of a gap is there between himself and the Champions of this world?

Qingyu's gaze turned to Wallace's lineup.

Milotic, Gyarados, Seaking, Ludicolo, Tentacruel, Politoed. ===== CHAPTER 228 =====
