Five minutes later, in front of Bulbasaur, the body of the giant vine leaned back and let out a mournful cry.
He lay on his back with a bang, his eyes filled with circles.
Lijia opened and closed her lips and sighed helplessly.
Retracting the giant vine that had lost its ability to fight, Rika looked at the man hugging Bulbasaur with a look of joy on his face with a complicated expression.
"It seems... the little lady still underestimates his strength."
Whispering in a low voice, Li Jia tightened her expression and took the "Rainbow Badge" prepared in advance from the hand of the gym trainer beside her.
"The little girl lost this challenge."
Lijia bowed slightly, handed out the "Rainbow Badge" she held in both hands, and continued: "Please be sure to accept this "Rainbow Badge"."
The seven-color rainbow badge reflects the splendor under the stimulation of a sunny day.
Kukui looked at the badge handed over by Li Jia with a strange expression.
He actually wanted to explain to Gym Leader Li Jia that he only came to the Kanto region to travel and hone himself, not to collect gym badges.
But then I thought again.
Collect gym badges...
Doesn't it seem to conflict with your original purpose?
What's more.
Before he challenged the Yuhong Gym, he had heard that those who wanted to challenge the Four Heavenly Kings and Champions of the Quartz Alliance needed to collect eight badges before they were eligible to go to the Champion Road and challenge.
This is the thought.
Dr. Kukui grinned, showing his white teeth, and took the "Rainbow Badge" from Miss Rika's hand.
In any case, he has experienced it, and only trainers in other regions can understand the feeling.
The Blazing Roaring Tiger autonomously came out of the Poke Ball on Kukui's waist and put a hand on Dr. Kukui's shoulder.
The ferocious appearance in the battle has completely disappeared. At this moment, he seems to be a little naive?
Lijia couldn't help but smile as she looked at the two "people" hooking up and laughing.
After a few polite words, Li Jia was about to stand up and leave.
During this challenge, the gymnasium was severely damaged.
If repair work is not carried out immediately, it is estimated that the gym challenge will not be possible again in the next few days.
Although Yuhong Gym definitely has more than one battle venue.
However, according to the regulations, this is the only venue that can be used for the main battle.
Then......
Li Jia's thoughts were forcibly stopped by the unexpected visitor.
"Wow——"
With his black cloak lifted up, the red-haired man landed in front of Li Jia and nodded slightly.
"Long time no see, Master Lijia."
Lijia: "..."
The woman in kimono looked blankly at the red-haired man in front of her, and then looked up at the wall with a big hole blasted by the move, her eyes becoming more and more confused.
Champion A'Du really takes an unusual path.
Of course, Li Jia's etiquette is still impeccable on the surface.
"It's been a long time, champion ferry."
After a few simple exchanges.
Lijia then understood Yulongdu’s purpose.
It's a very simple feeling of joy.
I don't know whether I am sad or happy.
Lijia silently stared at the damaged battlefield and said nothing for a long time.
This venue is obviously no longer usable.
As for the intact venues outside, their defensive strength is even worse than the one in front of them.
The battle between Champion Wataru and Kukui...
Just by closing her eyes, Lijia could imagine that scene.
Her body trembled involuntarily, and Li Jia adjusted her breathing.
After today...
It’s time for the Yuhong Gym to be renovated.
During this period of time when Li Jia felt sad in her heart.
Yulongdu has already started talking with Kukui.
"A trainer from the Alola region?" Yulongdu raised his eyebrows, the interest in his eyes becoming more intense.
Over the years, he has had many battles with trainers from other regions.
This includes the Hoenn region, the Sinnoh region and even the Galar region.
But he had never seen a trainer from the Alola region.
Today just fulfilled this wish!
Yulongdu's eyes were bright and his fighting spirit was even stronger.
As for Dr. Kukui, he recalled the red-haired man's self-introduction with a somewhat strange expression.
"I'm just a trainer who wears a cape and is good at using dragon Pokémon!"
Red hair, cloak, dragon attribute.
I said...you don't think that before I traveled to the Kanto region, I didn't research the information about the champions in the region, right?
but......
Kukui and the Blazing Roaring Tiger looked at each other, and both saw rising fighting spirit in each other's eyes.
Champion, Yulongdu!
The existence of the Four Heavenly Kings who command the Quartz Alliance!
He is the common champion of the two regions, Kanto and Johto!
Regardless of his popularity or strength, he is always ranked in the top three among "champions" and is one of the most powerful trainers in the world!
Although in last year's World Championship, Yulongdu lost to Dandi's Gigantamax Charizard.
However, some trainers pointed out that if the Dynamax is not used in the game, it is not impossible for Yulongdu to defeat the champion Alchemy Emperor!
Champion Dandi, champion Du, as well as Hoenn region champion Daigo, Sinnoh region champion Sirona.
Regarding the ranking of the strength of these four champions, there has been constant discussion in recent years.
It has triggered various quarrelsome topics all year round.
But now...
Kukui grinned unconsciously, his blood boiling.
This man, who is almost equivalent to the word "powerful", is right in front of him!
so.
Kukui agreed to Champion Du's invitation to fight without even thinking about it.
Originally, his main goal in going to the Kanto region was to cross the Champions League!
After resting for about an hour.
Kukui felt that his Pokémon's physical strength had almost completely recovered.
Then he and Yulongdu got up and headed to the battle site arranged by Li Jia.
Yuhong Gym.
It is usually used as a standard venue for gym trainers to compete and compete.
Yulongdu and Kukui stood on the command seats respectively, brewing their momentum.
Lijia took the initiative to stand on the referee's bench and serve as the referee.
There are few trainers in the Kanto region who don't know Yulongdu.
Since Yulongdu came on stage and stood at the command seat, the trainers and challengers of Yuhong Gym stopped their daily training and challenges, and consciously lined up to sit aside to watch the battle.
"Great! Today I actually have the opportunity to watch the battle between champions at such a close distance!"
"But who is the trainer in front of Champion Du? Do we have such a number one person in our alliance?"
"It doesn't seem like a trainer from our area."
"..."
Li Jia held the flag in her hand, looked at the two people from left to right, and reconfirmed the rules of the battle.
"In a 6v6 singles battle, trainers from both sides can freely rotate Pokémon according to the actual situation on the field, and there are no rotation restrictions."
"in addition......"
Lijia paused, looked at the Z bracelet on Dr. Kukui's left wrist, and then continued: "In this game, mega evolution, Z moves, and moves such as self-destruction and large self-destruction are prohibited!"
The venue itself is not strong enough. If mega evolution and z-moves appear, then the Yuhong Gym will probably not need to be renovated.
Just rebuild it directly.
As for why there is no mention of Dynamax?
Ahem, this is not the Galar region.
Even if they wanted to go to the extreme size, I'm afraid they wouldn't be able to do it.
Yulongdu and Kukui looked across the field, colliding in the air, and nodded at the same time.
After seeing both players confirm the rules at the same time.
Lijia let out a breath and waved the flag in her hand.
"Game start!!"
Yulongdu's eyes were focused, and he lifted up his cloak. The momentum of the champion was undoubtedly revealed at this moment!
One of the high-end balls hanging around his waist disappeared at some point.
A violent roar resounded as the fossil pterosaur's claws tore up the air and soared into the sky!
Yulongdu stared at the purple figure quietly and spoke out.
"Fair wind!"
at the same time.
The blazing roaring tiger landed heavily on the field and activated its intimidation. Its ferocious and fearless momentum made the entire audience's breaths stagnate.
Dr. Kukui put on a fighting stance, looked at the flying dragon in the sky provocatively, and said loudly:
