Chapter 245 discusses
Headquarters of the Mountain and Sea Alliance.
Yao Ran is having tea with the Superpower King.
The two were of similar age and abilities, and after several collaborations, they became close friends who could talk about anything.
Take advantage of the time during the League Conference preliminary rounds.
Yao Ran, who didn't need to participate in the selection process, and Yan Yue, who was waiting for the tournament champion challenge, sat together to drink tea, chat, and exchange their experiences in raising Pokémon.
As they talked, the two unconsciously shifted the topic to the League Conference.
Let's discuss who the strong contenders are for the championship this time.
"This tournament is different from the past. There are many experts like you participating. It is difficult for trainers who have not become Elite 1 trainers to advance to the top 32, while most Elite 1 trainers will stop at the top 8."
Who do you think poses the greatest threat to you this time?
Yan Yue held Espeon in her arms, gently stroking its fur.
Eevee nestled comfortably in Yan Yue's arms, enjoying the trainer's gentle caresses and making soft, soothing sounds, like a lazy cat.
Yao Ran had already obtained the list of participating kings from Yan Yue. Looking at the familiar faces on the list, he smiled and shook his head.
"That's too many."
These are all very strong seniors. I've only recently become a superstar, so it's difficult for me to compete with them. My focus this time is still on improving myself.
Upon hearing this, Yan Yue paused slightly as she stroked Espeon, looking into Yao Ran's eyes.
After a few seconds, he suddenly smiled:
"Trainers are never better as they get older, otherwise champions wouldn't be thinking about retiring."
You became a League King through your own ability. No matter how strong others are, they are not Kings, so there's no need for you to be modest with me. Who do you think has the best chance?
He added at the end, "Consider it a way to filter out our competitors. You know, no matter who wins, they will all be our rivals in the end."
Yao Ran stopped flipping through the list.
He placed the list on the coffee table, stopped looking at it, but then mentioned a few names.
"Zhuang Qi from the Sword Source Alliance, Su Lun from the Sun and Moon Alliance, and Xiong Qiu from the Origin Continent are all very strong trainers and should be strong contenders for the championship."
The information about these three people immediately came to Yan Yue's mind.
Zhuang Qi, a trainer from the Sword Origin Continent, has a signature Pokémon, the Sword Origin Continent's unique regional form, Scyther.
I'm not a top player in the league, but that doesn't mean I'm incapable of becoming one. It's just that I felt I wasn't ready to fight for that position. Now that I'm ready, that's why I've come here.
Bear Hill is a rather interesting trainer.
His approach differs from other trainers who specialize in developing a single attribute.
They have captured Pokémon of many different types.
However, they don't focus on their own team composition.
All of his Pokémon are bear-type Pokémon.
It is said that his master is the champion of the Origin Continent, the trainer who possesses the legendary Pokémon Urshifu.
As for the celestial wheel.
Yan Yue was deeply impressed.
This is because he is a trainer who has risen to prominence and fame rapidly in the last two years.
Specializes in Ghost-type.
She is a very...
Yan Yue suddenly didn't know how to evaluate this person.
She didn't really like the way the other party selected Pokémon.
They are very pragmatic; they will abandon a Pokémon if it doesn't meet their requirements.
Many people don't like him, but many others agree with his views and follow them, causing a lot of trouble.
This resulted in the deaths of some Pokémon.
Are there only three people?
"Keep in mind that there are a lot of people participating in this Alliance Conference, a full 200,000, including around 100 Heavenly King-level individuals. You only value these three?"
Yao Ran thought for a moment and said, "Actually, there are two more, but I just felt it was unnecessary to mention them."
Yan Yue and Yao Ran looked at each other again.
His bright eyes seemed to see right through Yao Ran's thoughts.
"You mean you also have Ghost Sea?"
Yao Ran raised his cup of tea and sipped it, tacitly agreeing with this guess.
Yan Yue, on the other hand, agreed with her own 'guess'.
"You don't need to say anything, your strength is beyond doubt."
But what about Guihai? Why is he excluded? There's no need to elaborate; his strength shouldn't be weak, right?
“I didn’t exclude him; I just said I didn’t need to list him.”
Yao Ran paused, as if she had thought of something, and said with a strange expression, "By the way, where's Gui Hai? Why didn't I see him at the opening ceremony today?"
Yan Yue was also taken aback.
The last time Ghost Sea disappeared, the schemes of the two cults were completely exposed.
Although the matter was resolved quickly, it must be said that Guihai also caused a very terrifying incident.
Ghost Sea has disappeared again.
Could there be something else going on in secret?
Yao Ran and Yan Yue both thought of Gui Hai's attitude towards the legendary Pokémon.
And what the champion said not long ago.
Groudon and Kyogre have returned to their lair, and for some reason, they are even stronger.
When these pieces of information were put together, the two Heavenly Kings suddenly felt a chill run down their spines.
"There shouldn't be any problems now, right?" Yan Yue said, sounding a little unsure.
After thinking it over, she called her assistant and asked him to keep a close eye on the situation in various parts of the alliance and to send more people to ensure the safety of the residents.
Finally, she asked her assistant to help her find out where Guihai had gone.
Yao Ran then thought of Gui Hai's actions on the Eastern Continent.
They chased after the legendary mythical beasts, fought them, and collected them all.
There is still a first-level deity hidden in his shadow, whom he carries with him as he travels the world...
The more Yao Ran thought about it, the more he felt that the disappearance of Guihai was not a good omen. He had to be on high alert and ready to deal with any possible crisis from the divine beasts!
Just then, there was a knock on the door of the lounge.
Yang Sisi, with her red hair, walked in.
"Sister Yao Ran, Sister Yueyue, I'm back."
Seeing this, the two women put aside their worries and smiled at Yang Sisi: "You're back? How was the match? Were your opponents strong?"
Yang Sisi is here to attend the Alliance Conference.
She's not a superstar; she had to participate in auditions. This is her return after the competition.
Yang Sisi smiled confidently: "The opponent is quite strong, but I am not easy to deal with now either. I can take them down easily."
"That's good. Keep it up, you should have no problem making it to the knockout stage," Yao Ran encouraged.
Yan Yue had a different opinion: "Sisi's strength is not bad. Sandslash and Crimson Knight are almost comparable to Gym Leader level Pokémon."
"With a bit of luck in the knockout stage, making it to the round of 64 shouldn't be a problem."
Hearing the encouragement from the two Heavenly Kings, Yang Sisi's confidence soared, but she still humbly replied:
"This is also thanks to the guidance of the Ghost King. During the time I worked for him, I often received guidance from the Ghost King and Granny Gu, so my Pokémon improved very quickly."
"Guihai? We were just talking about him. We don't know where he went. We haven't seen him all day."
Upon hearing about Gui Hai, Yao Ran's worries resurfaced.
They were afraid that this trainer, who loved to pursue legendary Pokémon, might cause some big trouble again.
But the next moment.
Yang Sisi's words dispelled Yan Yue and Yao Ran's worries.
"Ghost King? I saw him in the competition area before. It seems he didn't choose to use his merits to directly enter the knockout stage, but was training his newly caught Pokémon."
Yao Ran and Yan Yue were taken aback: "Is that so?"
"I see. If that's the case, then it makes sense."
In their view, this reason was perfectly appropriate.
Gui Hai is so strong, he must have worked very hard.
It's perfectly normal to use competitions to train new Pokémon these days.
The two women breathed a sigh of relief and relaxed, then invited Yang Sisi to have tea and cake.
Pillar of the Sky.
Halfway up the mountain.
With a single strike, Gui Hai used the attacker's spear to pin one of the men in black who had ambushed him to the cliff face.
Half of the spear was embedded in the hard rock wall.
Blood gushed down the cliff face. The man in black struggled for a few moments before losing his strength. He hung on the cliff like a teru teru bozu (a Japanese doll), swaying in the wind.
Perhaps decades from now, someone will discover his skeleton; perhaps he will remain here forever, decaying.
After casually killing the man, Gui Hai turned and continued climbing along the path they had cleared without looking back...
