Elf: This owner is so sunny.

Chapter 366: Red challenges you again!

a few days later.

I have visited all the places that should be visited in Quanguan City. Everyday I am either watching a movie or on my way to eat dessert.

Speaking of which, Quanguan City is not as big as imagined.

Ever since the battle between Bai Yu and Nie Zi ended, Bai Yu did not continue similar battles during this period of time. He was in a relaxed state, teasing Ice Vulpix and giving orders to the timid-looking Dragon Messiah.

Night time.

Bai Yu also found a homestay in Quanguan City. Compared to the Elf Center, the environment of the B&B is better and he can free up time to do what he likes.

For example, cooking some food, watching a movie, etc.

The yard of the entire B&B is not very big, and can't accommodate too many Pokémon.

There was a group of Pokémon gathered not far away, the most conspicuous of which was the Ice Vulpix lying on the ground.

Ice Vulpix stretched out its claws and scratched its face, then raised its head to look at the Dragon Messiah flying around in the air and called out to it twice.

"Bree~"

Don't hang around in front of it, you stupid dragon~
Doron Messiah paused and descended from the air reluctantly.

"roar~"

He roared in a fierce voice.

Okay then~
If Doron Messiah couldn't beat the snow-white fox in front of it, it wouldn't listen to this stupid fox.

"Ow~"

Houndoom, who had not been seen for a long time, looked at the surrounding environment with interest.

This is also one of the few times it has left the Kanto region and headed to other areas. The environment here is a bit gloomy, but it is quite suitable for the survival of ghost and dark-type Pokémon.

While they were waiting, Baiyu hurriedly ran out of the kitchen with a pot of hot pot. The aroma emanating from the hot pot instantly attracted the attention of many Pokémon in the yard.

"Bree~"

Ice Vulpix suddenly raised his head and walked up with brisk steps.

Dragonite followed closely behind, while Houndoom and the remaining Pokémon that were not very big also raised their heads and looked in the direction of Baiyu, wanting to see what delicious food Baiyu had made today.

The remaining Pokémon that were not interested in human food scratched their faces, looked up at the starry sky, and had no intention of moving at all.

But before Ice Vulpix could act cute or coquettishly, it smelled a unique odor, and its body instantly jumped up as if its hair stood on end, instantly distancing itself from the hot pot.

"Bree~"

Weird thing~this weird thing again!
What it hates most is spicy food. It had eaten similar food a long time ago, and it never wants to experience that taste again in its life.

Doron Messia on the side raised his head slightly and glanced at the hot pot.

He swallowed his saliva and followed suit, distancing himself from the hotpot.

Dolong Messiah, who doesn't even dare to eat human food, came over this time, following the footsteps of its big brother, Ice Vulpix.

"roar~"

In contrast, Houndoom and Snarltooth showed quite a lot of interest. As Fire-type Pokémon, they were naturally interested in spicy food, and they were not averse to human food.

Seeing this, Bai Yu also gave a little to Houndoom and Tigerblade. There was not much in the pot, and it was originally made for Bai Yu alone.

Baiyu had already fed these Pokémon dinner, which consisted of energy cubes, which were much more nutritionally sound than ordinary Pokémon food.

As for why not inviting Naz...

hmm~
Can I say that Nazi doesn’t like spicy food?!
How could she, who loves sweets, accept such a strong taste? Not to mention such a strong soup base, just adding a little bit of chili to her daily meals would make her sweat from the spiciness.

It’s a pity that Bai Yu can only enjoy such delicious food alone.

...

"Bai Yu, what are you doing?"

An uninvited guest suddenly came into the yard. The visitor was none other than the former Kanto League champion, Chihong, who was so depressed by the beating by Chibana some time ago that he even closed the Quanguan Arena for a rare time and planned to recuperate in Quanguan City for a while.

This guy, ever since he won a spot in the Pokémon Master Tournament, has given up the idea of ​​continuing to explore the Galar region.

But it's true. He has captured almost all the Pokémon, big and small, that he could see in the Galar region, even the three sacred birds of Galar.

The rest are either legendary entities or are imprisoned in very secret areas.

His purpose of coming to the Galar region was achieved, and even his main Charizard was trained to Gigantamax.

As for why he appeared here...

hmm~
Chihong also lives in a homestay nearby and appears in this yard almost every day. Bai Yu has long been accustomed to it.

“This is hot pot.”

After taking a few bites, Bai Yu looked up at Chihong and introduced patiently.

"Hot Pot?"

Bai Yu skillfully took out the bowls and chopsticks that had been prepared long ago, and asked, "Yes, a very novel delicacy, do you want to try it?"

"No... no need."

Chihong swallowed a mouthful of water, looked at the red pot bottom, and quickly shook his head to deny it. Yesterday, he also tasted a little of Bai Yu's food. The taste was actually okay, edible... but a bit spicy~
Besides, when he came here, dinner had already been served, and he came here for important business.

Bai Yu didn't say anything after hearing this, and just focused on eating the food in the pot. He had found these with great difficulty in the vegetable market, and they tasted really good.

"Apart~"

Bai Yu burped and lay comfortably on the sofa. He hadn't tasted the food he remembered for a long time. Unfortunately, the cuisine in this world was a little different. The spicy taste was basically ground from spicy tree fruits.

Compared to the Kanto region, the food in the Galar region has a heavier taste, which made Bai Yu enjoy it very much.

"Bai Yu, I heard that you fought against Nie Zi some time ago?"

After dinner, Chihong looked at Baiyu with a serious face.

He also heard the news from Kibana yesterday, saying that Nie Zi had defeated a gym leader from the Kanto region some time ago.

You have to know that Nie Zi is quite powerful. If he could master the power of Dynamax, he might be able to defeat him. Such a powerful trainer was defeated with a very miserable result.

This also caused Chibana's self-esteem, which had originally been restored, to be hurt again.

"The Gym Leader of Spike Town? I did fight him before. As you know, I was invited to participate in the Pokémon Master Tournament this time, and he challenged me for that spot."

"At the time, I wanted to finish it as soon as possible, so I fought it quickly. It was just three on three, so there's not much reference value..."

Bai Yu smiled but didn't take the matter to heart. Nie Zi's lineup was not perfect and it was easy to guess his attack intentions. Besides, it was not difficult for a champion-level trainer to deal with a king-level trainer.

After giving it his all, it was reasonable for Nie Zi to lose.

"Do you have any other plans after dinner?" Chihong suddenly asked.

He looked at Bai Yu with burning eyes, and many thoughts emerged in his mind.

Hearing this, Bai Yu raised his eyebrows and felt something was wrong.

Before Bai Yu could say other reasons for his refusal, he heard Chi Hong's invitation to a fight.
"How about a simple battle?"

"Just treat it as a pastime before the Elf Master Competition."

In the Pokémon world, most trainers spend their free time battling each other, and the purpose of traveling is to battle with more trainers.

Chihong had wanted to fight Baiyu for a long time, but he had never found a suitable opportunity.

Today he suddenly had the idea of ​​fighting, and also to test the results of his recent training. Chi Hong stared at Bai Yu with sharp eyes, with a strong fighting spirit in his expression, "Bai Yu, you should know that since I started my journey, I have only lost to two people."

"One is you, and the other is green."

"I came from Kanto to the Galar region, mastered the power of Dynamax, and subdued more powerful beings, just to defeat you head-on."

Chihong's passionate battle declaration is enough to show Chihong's inner desire for victory.

He still remembers those two battles.

To be honest, losing a battle in that state is something that no trainer would forget.

What's more, this person is red.

A legendary trainer in the Pokémon world.

"It's getting late, and the Pokémon Center is probably closed. It's hard to find a suitable battle venue. Why not wait a few days or wait until the Pokémon Master Tournament?"

Bai Yu said tentatively.

"The venue?"

Chi Hong thought for a moment, and suddenly thought of something, "Don't worry about the venue. I can just talk to the owner of Chibana."

"So, today's battle is inevitable?" Bai Yu raised his eyebrows.

"Yes, we have to fight! Today, I will let you see how I have grown since I entered the Galar region. I am no longer the same person I was a few months ago!" Chihong said in a firm tone.

That's right, he is no longer the same person he was a few months ago.

Similarly, the Bai Yu in front of him is not the Bai Yu from a few months ago.

That's why he wanted to have a hearty Pokémon battle with Baiyu at this moment.

Let’s examine how his strength has improved in recent times.

"Okay then, let's just treat it as an after-dinner entertainment." Bai Yu said helplessly.

"I hope you can fight with all your strength. Bai Yu!"

After saying that, Chihong took Baiyu and walked towards the Quanguan Arena.

Late in the night, a few lights were still on in the Quanguan Arena, and from time to time one could hear the roar of dragon-type Pokémon and the man's panting.

Seems to be doing something unspeakable...

After entering the arena, Bai Yu quickly saw the Aluminum Steel Dragon in the center of the arena, who was constantly releasing moves and conducting intensive training.

"Aluminum Steel Dragon, move faster! Faster!"

Chibana clenched his teeth, feeling extremely tormented in his heart. He knew very well that the current Aluminum Steel Dragon was not enough, not strong enough... There was still some time before the Elf Master Competition, so he still had a chance.

"Master Chibana~"

"Ok?"

The red voice interrupted Chibana's command and also attracted the attention of Aluminum Steel Dragon.

There was a glimmer of surprise in Chibana's eyes.

He planned to challenge Chihong again in a few days and take his place in the bidding competition, but he never thought that Chihong would come to his arena at this time.

He looked at Red.

"Red? Why are you suddenly in my arena so late at night? What? Are you planning to have a Pokémon battle with me?"

At this time, Qibana also noticed Bai Yu beside Chihong.

Baiyu is not a stranger to Chibana. He had met Baiyu some time ago. He is a trainer from the Kanto region and he also has a place in this Pokémon Master Tournament.

If I really can't beat Chihong, I can set my target on him.

The Gym Leaders in the Kanto region...

His strength shouldn't be as abnormal as Red's...

Baiyu boasted on the Internet that he was very powerful, saying that he had defeated Daigo and Shirona, but Chibana had never seen how the specific battles went. After all, he only had Dan Di in his eyes before.

He didn't even take the remaining regional champions seriously.

"Master Chibana, I came here to borrow your arena."

Chihong said calmly.

"I don't know, does Master Chibana mind? If so..."

Chihong took a look at the Quanguan Arena. It was said that the venue for this Elf Master Tournament would be the Gongmen Arena, where the layout was more luxurious than that of the Quanguan Arena.

The venue specifications of the Quanguan Arena are arranged strictly in accordance with the specifications of the alliance.

The height is also enough to accommodate Gigantamax Pokémon to perform punches and kicks, and it is also equipped with an energy barrier.

That's the same energy barrier used by the Macha Gym, which can withstand the residual power of most Pokémon's moves.

"Borrowing the venue?"

Qibana raised his eyebrows, as if he thought of something, and looked at Baiyu beside Chihong.

Is Red planning to fight that gym leader?
Although it is a bit inappropriate, being able to watch the fight between these two people up close may not be a bad thing for Chibana.

"Okay, I can lend you the venue."

"But...I will be the referee for this fight."

As a referee, you can see the status of the Pokémon on the field most intuitively, and you can also judge the power of the moves released by the Pokémon on both sides. Compared to the audience, the referee's job will be more intuitive.

"I have no opinion."

Chihong shrugged and looked at Baiyu beside him.

"What can I say..."

...

At this time, on the battlefield, Baiyu and Chihong had already entered the trainer positions and stood in place.

"The Pokémon battle will begin now."

"Both sides are limited to five Pokémon. The Pokémon on the field can be replaced at will during the game. The battle is considered over when all Pokémon on one side lose their combat ability."

"Now please send your first Pokémon to the field."

Chibana calmly announced the rules of the game.

The busts of Bai Yu and Chi Hong soon lit up on the score display screen.

As for the names of these two people, there were no spectators outside the venue, so Chibana was too lazy to introduce them.

They are all trainers from the Kanto region, so they are probably familiar with each other.

"bring it on."

"Bai Yu!"

Red reached out and lowered the brim of his hat. The dim light could not hide his fiery red pupils. He held the Poké Ball tightly and trembled slightly.

He couldn't wait...

Red challenges you again!
