Chapter 299

Countless fireworks bloomed over Mesagoza, even dazzling under the sunlight, quickly forming a beautiful aerial landscape.

Amidst the cheers and applause of countless spectators, the battle field was quickly cleaned up.

Only a temporarily arranged podium and computer equipment were left.

The result of Zhulan winning is not surprising; after all, both sides showed their own style in the finals, and who wins or loses is no longer that important.

Although it is regrettable that Lance lost by one move in the end, it can better show the terrifying strength of this new Sinnoh Champion.

The match is over, leaving only one of the last and most important links—entering the Hall of Fame.

According to the Pokémon League regulations, all Champions of high-level ball matches and above are eligible to have their names permanently recorded in the League's Hall of Fame list.

Besides the Masters Tournament and regional tournaments, the Attribute Masters Tournament is obviously also in this category.

Zhulan quickly appeared on the battle field again.

As she placed the Poké Ball she carried into the slot in front of the computer, the handsome photos of her Pokémon quickly appeared on the big screen above the field.

Garchomp, Kommo-o, Togekiss, Alolan Ninetales...

"Zhulan—! Zhulan—!"

The whole audience shouted the Champion's name, sincerely feeling happy for the Champion's previous exciting performance.

Watching the figures flashing on the big screen above, Xiang Qingyu felt a little emotional.

In the game, entering the Hall of Fame means the end of the main task of the first week, and the character played by the player officially becomes the regional Champion.

It is a very ritualistic thing, and even many trainers cannot welcome this glorious moment in their entire lives.

Although Xiang Qingyu has experienced it countless times in the game...

But if he could also have the chance to record his name and his Pokémon partners' names into the Hall of Fame in the living Pokémon world, that would be great.

Soon, all information was entered.

The process of the match has been completed so far, but of course, there is still the link that reporters like most at this time—post-match interviews.

In the simple Pokémon world, this group of reporters can definitely be counted as a clear stream.

Proper UC title party.

As long as they can get an interview opportunity, they can ask any outrageous question without thinking.

There are even ruthless people who have practiced a good level of battle for work, forcing them to accept interviews by defeating opponents.

It is really dedicated.

If half of their professional spirit were put into battle, maybe their achievements would not be lower than being a small reporter...

After a few plain questions, a female reporter quickly asked the first tricky question of the day:

"Champion Zhulan, we noticed that before this, when you participated in the Sinnoh Victory Road, it seemed that there was only one Dragon-type Pokémon, Garchomp, in your team, so was this Kommo-o temporarily raised for the competition? Or is it a secret weapon that has been prepared for a long time?"

"Hmm..."

Zhulan fell into deep thought.

Xiang Qingyu and Caitlin couldn't help but break into a cold sweat for her at the same time.

This reporter doesn't look like she understands Zhulan; throwing two questions for her to choose might make her choice difficulty attack on the spot, hey!

Fortunately, their worries were a little redundant.

On such a question where the answer was already determined, Zhulan didn't hesitate for too long and quickly gave the answer:

"It can be considered the former; although it was already determined that I would participate in this Dragon-type Masters Tournament, the fact that I chose to temporarily catch a Jangmo-o to raise at the end was actually recommended by a friend of mine."

【Classic "I have a friend" start; it wouldn't be Teacher Yu, right?】

【Not right, absolutely not right, there's a situation!】

Many viewers keenly noticed this.

Xiang Qingyu was also a bit stunned, staring blankly at the beautiful figure in a black trench coat below.

It wasn't until she accidentally glanced at him and playfully stuck out her tongue at him in the blind spot of the camera that he came back to his senses.

Hey, isn't this talking about me!

"Goo..."

Because she was sitting very close, Caitlin also noticed Zhulan's small movements, and a surge of jealousy like a tide quickly spread to every part of her body, making her subconsciously let out a muffled groan of dissatisfaction.

However...

Since coming to Mesagoza and seeing Zhulan and Xiang Qingyu, she felt that her control over psychic power and her own emotions was increasing day by day.

So this little bit of jealousy was not enough to make her do anything irrational.

But it's still so enviable, damn it...

I also want to go to Kitakami to soak in the hot springs with Zhulan!

Even if she pretended to be free and easy on the surface, Caitlin still couldn't help but have some small emotions in her heart.

"Oh? A friend?"

The female reporter quickly smelled the taste of gossip.

"Is it that Paldea Gym Leader Xiang Qingyu who is very popular on the internet recently?"

"And..., what is the relationship between you and that friend?"

This one looks like she came prepared and did her homework in advance.

However, for her question, Zhulan didn't answer directly, but just smiled slightly and brushed it off.

"If this friend doesn't want to reveal his identity, I'll keep it a secret for him for the time being."

"As for the other question, let's leave it to the future me to answer."

As soon as this was said, although there was no real hammer, it could be felt from the words—

"This friend" obviously has an unusual relationship with Zhulan.

Maybe most of the audience on the scene didn't know who Zhulan was talking about, but the audience in Xiang Qingyu's broadcast room knew too well!

【Who is it? It's really hard to guess~】

【I know this question; first exclude the correct option of Teacher Yu!】

【My god, this... did I really guess right at the time? Is Teacher Yu going to be a Sinnoh son-in-law?】

【Prophet, kill him, kill him!】

【Not right, Teacher Yu is going to Sinnoh, isn't our Naranja Academy finished?】

【Oh right, Teacher Yu, you can't leave!!!】

Because of the identity of the Paldea Gym Leader, a considerable part of Xiang Qingyu's fans are students of Naranja Academy.

Therefore, when a "sober person in the world" suddenly appeared in the comments that were originally arching fire, countless comments quickly turned into a wail.

"I'm just going to Sinnoh for the New Year; how did you make it look like I'm not coming back..."

Xiang Qingyu scratched his head, a bit speechless about the super sensitive skin of the comments.

However, it's not that the comments are exaggerated; after all, judging from the overall level of Naranja Academy students before he became famous...

If he didn't help train these students, I'm afraid the strength of the next few sessions in Paldea wouldn't be very strong.

Why do I feel like I have an extra responsibility on me for no reason?

Xiang Qingyu sighed and looked at the sky speechlessly.

Just then, his eyes suddenly widened.

In the clouds, a familiar black figure appeared quietly in the sky at some point, silently watching himself calmly.

"Roar—"

When meeting Xiang Qingyu's gaze, the black Rayquaza, which originally had no sense of existence, suddenly erupted with a strong low roar.

In an instant, everyone on the scene noticed its existence.

Of course, with the change of Xiang Qingyu's gaze, the audience in the broadcast room found this pitch-black figure with terrifying momentum one step ahead of the on-site audience.

【Holy crap??? This is Rayquaza, right? The Sky Guardian in the Hoenn legend?】

【Absolutely correct; I am from Hoenn, and I don't know how many times I've heard the Rayquaza legend since I was a child...】

【And I can be sure that this is a rarer Shiny Rayquaza, because normally Rayquaza should be green!】

【My god, Teacher Yu is too high-profile; even Rayquaza came to support you ()】

【Although I know you are joking, this sentence is too hard to hold back, hahahaha!】
