Chapter 518: One Hundred Thousand Heavenly Soldiers and Generals
After hearing Hikaru's explanation, the force of Gardevoir's hands finally loosened.
It had thought that Hikaru, having helped Charizard find a partner, had gotten addicted to it and wanted to find one for it too.
Unexpectedly, Hikaru just simply wanted to take it to see its kind and, in passing, inquire about its mother's situation.
Although this possibility was very small.
The secret realms were divided by that world and then sent to this world, with uncertainty in between.
It was possible that this secret realm had been drifting in some other dimension for many years, it was hard to say.
"Gardevoir..."
Gardevoir nodded.
Hikaru then thought of Dragonair. He had promised the Dragonite on Dragon Island back then that after its child hatched, he would bring it to see it.
After this competition was over, he would let it go back for a reunion.
In short, after going back, it seemed like he would be very busy.
...
Somewhere in the M Region.
The incident of the abnormal Dynamaxed Pokémon had attracted the attention of many people.
Among them was Team Magma.
However, they were more concerned about the Groudon that had appeared near the Sakura Country.
What troubled them even more was that Groudon and Kyogre, who would usually fight upon meeting, did not fight this time!
The boss of Team Magma—Maxie.
He had bright red hair, wore a colorful beach shirt, and sunglasses.
But no one would find this combination strange, because this was precisely the coastal area of the M Region.
In front of him, a stretch of beach.
At this moment, Maxie was looking at the sea before him, lost in thought.
His ideal goal was to turn the entire sea into land.
The reason was simple. When he was a child, while he and his parents were on a merchant ship, a battle between two Pokémon on the sea overturned the ship. By the time the rescue team arrived, he was the only one in his family who was still alive.
This planted an obsession in his young heart—to fill up the entire sea!!
Now, he was like an ordinary passerby, sitting in a coffee shop, drinking coffee.
However, soon, a middle-aged man in a brown suit, looking like a working-class man, walked to the opposite side of his table and sat down.
"How is it?"
"Boss, the energy source we were tracking has stopped. Lord Groudon is currently staying on a small island in the western sea."
Maxie's hand, which was originally drinking coffee, paused. He then took off his sunglasses, revealing an excited expression. "Good! Notify the entire team, get ready, we depart immediately! With the Red Orb, Groudon will definitely be able to defeat Kyogre!"
"Yes!"
The working-class man in the suit agreed in a low voice.
After receiving some more instructions, he left the place.
And Maxie, standing on the spot, no longer had the mood for afternoon tea. He called a car and headed towards the base.
Compared to the heavily guarded Huaxia region, the M Region was very tolerant of these non-governmental organizations. As long as they didn't cause any big trouble, they generally wouldn't be managed.
After all, the M Region was a country that didn't even prohibit Pokémon on its streets.
On the other hand, the man in the suit who had just left did not immediately send out the notice. Instead, he summoned a Skarmory and flew towards his home.
He soon landed at a villa in the suburbs.
The villa was quite large and seemed to be equipped with a professional training ground. It was clear that this person was also a high-ranking officer of Team Magma, with considerable assets at home.
From inside the villa came the continuous sound of hitting, as well as the sounds of Pokémon.
Recalling his Skarmory, a trace of gratification flashed in Qing Yunyu's eyes.
He opened the door and continued inside, arriving at a training room.
He soon saw a young man training with an Infernape.
The Infernape was striking an alloy in front of it with its fists, while the young man, revealing a body of sinewy muscle, was also striking a wooden dummy in a similar fashion.
"You've finally grown up a little."
Looking at his son, Qing Yunyu's heart settled.
The child's mother had passed away early, leaving him with only this child.
But this child was always doing things that made him worry.
Recently, however, he had been able to put his mind at ease a little.
"Dad..."
Seeing that it was his father, Qing Fei greeted him, then landed a fierce punch on the wooden dummy, which turned into dust.
"..."
Seeing its trainer like this, the Infernape also gathered its strength and shattered the alloy steel in front of it.
Qing Fei said with some unwillingness, "He's getting stronger and stronger..."
The site selection competition was a national-level competition. Each country could edit the battle footage into short videos and post them online for everyone to watch.
The Huaxia region and the M Region were no exceptions.
One reason was to hope that some new trainers could learn something from them. Another was to build up the fame of the trainers.
The battle video of Hikaru and Larry had long been posted online and had attracted a large group of people's admiration.
Such as, "Are these two trainers so young? They've both caught Legendary Pokémon? For real?"
"Holy crap, God Hikaru? When did God Hikaru's Latias get so strong?"
"My God, is this battle for real? A battle between two Legendary Pokémon, commanded by two kids?"
With Hikaru's fame, the response in the Huaxia region was huge.
Everyone couldn't believe that in just less than half a year, the Latias that had stood out in the Youth League could now go toe-to-toe with a Suicune.
"What level of strength is this? It should be a Champion, right? Don't scare me, wasn't it just at the Elite Four level during the Youth League?"
"It should be a Champion. I've seen the last Pokémon Championship. Latias's strength has already surpassed the performance of some of the Pokémon there. It's just that God Hikaru used Mega Evolution, and the opponent's Suicune didn't..."
"Terrifying, terrifyingly so..."
Hikaru, who had mastered Mega Evolution, now had a Pokémon with the strength of a Champion.
And he...
His strongest was still that Arcanine.
Yet it was still only at the peak of the Master level....
This strength, although already outstanding and one in ten thousand among his peers, was worlds apart compared to him.
This gap almost made him despair.
Genius...
What kind of genius am I?
Qing Fei suddenly remembered a novel he had read as a child.
Sun Wukong, who fought against the Heavenly Palace, could defeat one hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals with one swing of his staff.
But those one hundred thousand heavenly soldiers and generals, how much effort had they put in to reach the Heavenly Court and get the position of a heavenly soldier?
But Sun Wukong also had someone he was afraid of, didn't he?
He wasn't afraid of the Jade Emperor, nor was he afraid of Erlang Shen.
But he was suppressed under the Five Fingers Mountain by the Buddha.
...
"Sigh..."
Looking at the gritting Qing Fei, Qing Yunyu let out a slight sigh.
He knew what was supporting his son's continuous efforts...
