Chapter 517: The Shock Caused by Latias
Pokémon League Center.
Looking at the footage transmitted by the Rotom, Suicune was dodging miserably under the thunderclouds, and was ultimately hindered by psychic power and fell under the Thunder attack.
The entire room was silent.
From the strength displayed by Suicune, there was no doubt that it was already at a solid Champion level.
And it was a strong one among Champions.
But after Mega Evolving, the Thunderbolt released by Latias was in no way inferior to Suicune's Ice Beam, which was already shocking enough. Unexpectedly, in the subsequent battle, it was constantly in the upper hand.
This Latias... didn't it just step into the Elite Four level a short time ago?
The whole room was silent for a good while.
Finally, someone murmured, "Lance, it looks like your Huaxia region has really produced a monster of a trainer..."
"This Latias, after Mega Evolving, actually has the strength of a mid-tier Champion. Is this really something a young trainer can achieve? My God!"
"Unbelievable..."
Everyone turned their gazes to the three referees from the Huaxia region.
Their eyes were filled with apprehension.
With such strength at such a young age, it was clear that the champion of the new Pokémon Championship was already set in stone.
The champion of the Pokémon Championship not only represented honor and the country's reputation worldwide, but more importantly, it represented priority in resources.
The world is so big!
There are inevitably many places that are not under the jurisdiction of any country.
And the appearance of secret realms doesn't choose crowded places.
It appears randomly on the Azure Planet.
Some secret realms, not within the territory of any country, are even richer in resources due to the lack of human habitation.
And the exploration rights to these places, after deliberation by various powerful countries, were finally decided to be determined by the Pokémon Championship held every four years.
The country that wins the championship has the right to explore the secret realms first!
This was also the reason why every country attached great importance to the Pokémon Championship.
Unexpectedly, the Huaxia region, which had only won the championship once, had cultivated so many outstanding trainers for the second time.
If this virtuous cycle continued, the strength of the Huaxia region in terms of trainer strength in the future was already foreseeable...
"You've really hidden it deep... Lance..."
"To actually let a Champion-level trainer participate in the site selection tournament."
The glamorous blonde woman from the M Region was smoking a woman's cigarette, blowing out a smoke ring, but her hand was trembling.
"He is also within the rules of the competition, isn't he? Just like this young man with the Suicune."
Lance said calmly.
In fact, his heart was anything but calm.
Damn it.
When did this kid get so strong?
Why did it seem like there was no change last time at the Tree of Beginning!
I have the urge to monitor him!
"This child, since he's already so strong."
The old woman beside him let out a long sigh. She had lived a long time and seen a lot, but even so, she couldn't help but be amazed by the speed at which Latias had grown stronger.
Clearly, during the battle at the Ghost-type national gym, this Latias was only slightly stronger than that Mimikyu, but now it already possessed Champion-level strength.
Incredible, truly incredible...
Everyone fell into silence, looking at the Huaxia camp. With both the Junior and Senior Divisions basically holding the first place, they remained silent.
...
...
Under the Sunny Day, the snow quickly melted completely. Latias also quickly had Hikaru apply ointment to her body, treating the frostbitten areas.
He made another meal and let all the Pokémon out to eat their fill.
The sky soon turned to dusk.
In his spare time, Hikaru glanced at the current scoreboard of each country on the Rotom.
"First on the scoreboard... looks like the trainers from the Huaxia region are still very strong."
"Mmm-hmm!"
Sakura nodded in agreement.
She was still immersed in the power of Latias, unable to imagine that the current Latias was so strong.
But she's still easy to bully~
She couldn't help but turn her head to look at Latias again, which left the latter not knowing what to say.
Sakura seems abnormal.
The last time she looked at me so abnormally was when we had just met.
"So where are we going next?"
Sakura ran in front of Latias. At this moment, Latias had just finished applying the medicine and was still in her original form, looking like a large white dumpling plane.
Although she could heal on her own, applying medicine would make her heal faster. In about a few hours, the frostbite left by the Blizzard would be completely healed.
While undoing the white bandages, Sakura asked.
"Let's just walk around for now. Take a look, is there any place you want to go?"
Hikaru looked at the map and thought for a moment.
It wasn't that the M Region only had these S-rank or above events/secret realms.
It was just that not every secret realm needed to be explored.
Just go to some places he was interested in.
If he had to explore every secret realm, he hadn't even finished exploring the S-rank secret realms within the Huaxia region.
"Umm...."
Sakura pursed her lips and brought the Rotom in front of Latias for the two of them to watch together. "Latias, take a look. Which place do you think looks fun?"
When it was her turn, Sakura directly approached it from the angle of having fun.
"Fun... I don't know..."
Latias shook her head in a daze.
In the world, apart from scenery, other things didn't have much attraction for it.
For example, amusement parks, movie theaters... and other such places in the city.
She could already fly, why would she play on a Ferris wheel...
The protagonist in the movies shown in the cinema might not even be as strong as her.
After all the bandages were removed, she immediately transformed into a human. Two long red ponytails fell down, reaching her waist.
Seeing the two of them discussing, Hikaru wasn't in a hurry. He reached behind him, turned his head to flick his hood, and threw out a Pokéblock. Lugia then poked its head out from the hood and ate it in one bite.
Poking out its small head, its expression was full of satisfaction.
"Gardevoir~"
Gardevoir floated beside him, the smile on its face never stopping.
Clearly, it was very satisfied with being able to stay by Hikaru's side all day today.
Hikaru felt that this kind of life was very good, slowly growing stronger, with a group of Pokémon and people close to him by his side.
He couldn't help but say:
"Gardevoir, Charizard went to Charicific Valley. After we go back to the Huaxia region, do you want to make a trip to the Mu family's home to find your own kind?"
"Gardevoir?"
Gardevoir thought of Charizard's happiness today, and then hearing these words, its expression changed. The hands that were originally on his shoulders suddenly tightened their grip. "Gardevoir!" (What are you trying to say?)
