Elf: This owner is so sunny.

"Ancient Sword Leopard".

Adu's lips twitched slightly; he really didn't want to battle this Pokémon anymore.

Anyway, it's not like it's the first time he's lost a match. A-Du, who used to be so eager for fame and fortune, has now come to terms with it. Let it be, he doesn't want to fight anymore.

"That's it for now."

A-Du waved his hand, showing no intention of releasing a third dragon.

As long as that Ancient Leopard is present, his other Pokémon have no room to deal damage. Its high speed, combined with its outstanding attack, makes those speed attackers seem unremarkable compared to Ancient Leopard.

"Ok?"

Bai Yu was somewhat surprised and glanced at A Du.

He repeatedly checked whether the person in front of him was indeed Adu.

He actually gave up the game on his own initiative. Where did his previous arrogant and conceited attitude go? How did it all disappear so suddenly?

"Gu~"

Gu Jianbao shouted in dissatisfaction.

It's finally getting a chance to play, so we can't let it have a good game.

The opponent surrendered and admitted defeat after only taking down two dragons?

It's clear that Leopard has a strong desire to slay dragons, especially after getting to know Kyurem and being stirred up by Kyurem. Now it wants to wipe out all the dragon-type Pokémon in the world.

"It's okay, next time we'll go and slay an even stronger dragon."

Bai Yu looked at Gu Jianbao and gently comforted him.

"Gu~"

Gusword nodded emphatically; it had already imagined the scene of wiping out all the Dragon-type Pokémon.

Adu's lips twitched. This guy must be obsessed with killing dragons and demons.

However, it cannot be denied that Bai Yu's Ancient Blade Leopard is indeed very strong. As long as it encounters a Dragon-type Pokémon with a type advantage, it can basically achieve a perfect crush. Even when it encounters a Dragon-type Pokémon like Duraludon, which has no type advantage, it still relies on its strength to achieve a certain degree of suppression.

The Ancient Sword Leopard's characteristics are just too overpowered.

The thought of Gu Jianbao cutting down the aluminum steel bridge dragon just now sent chills down Adu's spine.

This level of skill was something they hadn't shown in the previous Masters tournament.

They even said that the Pokémon they created wasn't for their own benefit.

'However, this suits Bai Yu's personality perfectly! That damned trainer, all he does is play tricks and push tactics to the extreme. Aside from himself, probably no one else knows what Pokémon he'll send out next.'

Such trainers are strange, but very strong.

After all, Lance's signature Pokémon, Dragonite, was also used in great skill by Shiraha.

That was also the first time A-Lv had seen Dragonite play so unfairly, triggering the Multiscale ability without limit, halving the power of the opponent's moves. Most importantly, White Feather's Dragonite was good at using status moves.

Moreover.

Bai Yu's aluminum-steel bridge dragon also showed a different side from other aluminum-steel bridge dragons.

Such a trainer doesn't even play with dragons.

Adu took a deep breath; he still couldn't understand why Baiyu didn't play with dragons.

Dragon is clearly the strongest Pokémon, and it represents the deepest pursuit in a person's heart.

……

“Awatari lost from the very beginning.” Daigo pondered Shiraha’s inner thoughts.

From the very beginning, A-Du should never have released that Tanabata Bluebird.

Of course, if we had anticipated that Bai Yu would have had an Ancient Sword Leopard, Daigo thinks that Adu wouldn't have released Altaria so easily. After all, Altaria is four times weak to ice, so if it gets caught by the Ancient Sword Leopard, it would have no choice but to switch to another Pokémon.

Fortunately, that Ancient Sword Leopard didn't know tricks like throwing diamonds or using stealth rocks, otherwise Adu would have been in real trouble.

Today's match proved that his initial choice was correct.

He knew that Bai Yu would definitely not hold back today.

As he saw it, Bai Yu had indeed concealed his strength and had not held back.

Gu Jianbao immediately cut down Adu's two dragons upon entering the arena.

If it were him taking the field, Daigo believed that Shiraha would definitely send out Urshifu, one of those Fighting-type Pokémon, to fight him. This guy seems to have a knack for picking on who he's fighting.

However, Bai Yu treated everyone the same, and often used spike-type moves like Stealth Rock and Spikes in battles. Whether it was him, Avalon, or Cynthia, they had all suffered from spikes.

The match is over.

Steven's interest in Pokémon battles has been rekindled, even more so than before.

He had always longed to encounter an opponent who could render him powerless, whether it was Lance or Cynthia. Ever since returning from the Galar region, Daigo had been thinking about when he could defeat these people head-on.

The only person Steven left in the Hoenn region, besides Wallace, was Genji, the former Elite Four member of the Hoenn region, with whom he could only have a simple fight. Apart from Genji, no one else was a match for Steven.

When someone is invincible for a long time, they will feel bored and even lose interest. He likes Steel-type Pokémon and Rock-type Pokémon, and he also likes exploring unknown ruins.

Liking someone doesn't mean you have to fight them, unless there's a stronger opponent standing in your way.

"Bai Yu, it seems I'll have to wait a while before challenging you again."

Thinking of this, Daigo slowly walked into the court, leaned over, and said to Shiraha.

"I thought you were like him, planning to challenge me today."

Bai Yu chuckled and patted Daigo on the shoulder.

If he had known the match would end so quickly, he wouldn't have pretended to be sleepy in the first place. Who knew that Adu would back down after seeing Gu Jianbao?

"Bai Yu, I feel that your true strength lies not in commanding, but in your understanding of Pokémon."

Daigo looked at Shiraha very seriously and said, "Do you think there's anything lacking in my Metagross?"

"What's lacking?"

Bai Yu was taken aback; he didn't really know much about Metagross.

To be honest, his understanding is not as good as Daigo's, let alone his ability to offer opinions.

"Correct!"

Daigo nodded heavily, a hint of longing in his eyes. "I think you should know."

"Cough cough."

Bai Yu coughed lightly, shook his head, and said, "You overestimate me. I'm not a Steel-type specialist, and even if I were, I don't think I know Metagross as well as you do."

Steven's Metagross has been by his side since the Beldum era. The two are considered the best Metagross in the Pokémon world in terms of both teamwork and strength.

What other opinions could Bai Yu possibly offer on this?

For example, even though Lance's Dragonite has a different battle style, it is still slightly stronger in terms of teamwork and overall strength.

After all, Lance's Dragonite has been with him since the Dratini stage, and Lance is born with the power to control dragons, so he can often hear the thoughts in the minds of Dragon-type Pokémon. This is a special ability that Bai Yu does not have.

He was just an ordinary dojo owner, without any particularly impressive titles. After a brief chat...

Wataru and Daigo, satisfied with what they had collected, prepared to leave.

"Alright, alright! Enough with the pleasantries, I should be going. I have a lot of things to take care of in the Johto region." Thinking of this, A-Lun got angry, slamming his fist on the sofa and saying, "Those Team Rocket bastards, one day I'll uproot them all!"

"Team Rocket..." Bai Yu's lips twitched.

Speaking of which, it seems that since my last conversation with Giovanni, Giovanni has also set off for the Johto region.

These two are probably going to meet in the Johto region.

With his current strength, Wataru is definitely no match for Sakaki.

Moreover, what's terrifying about the Johto region isn't just Giovanni, but also the manipulator behind it, Kouyuki. That guy himself has strength surpassing even the Champion, and with that little boar, the ice-type moves he used would surely freeze both the dragon and the player.

"what happened?"

A-Du also noticed the change in Bai Yu's eyes and subconsciously asked, "You don't know anything about Team Rocket's bases, do you? I happen to have some free time. Tell me one and I'll go over and destroy it."

"No, no, you know I've been staying in Macha City lately."

Bai Yu waved his hand, showing no intention of revealing any information.

"Alright, alright, I'll be going now if there's nothing else. Just call me if you need anything."

Seeing Bai Yu's reaction, Adu didn't say anything more.

He threw out Dragonite and then rode on its back, leaving Macha City.

Only Daigo and Shiraha remained in the entire gym.

"It's getting late, I should head back."

Daigo also came over. It was time for him to go back. He had been away from the Hoenn region for so long, and he would probably only be able to stay in the Hoenn region as the champion for the time being.

He was actually quite envious of Bai Yu. At least Bai Yu could do what he liked and travel around, challenging powerful trainers, unlike him, who could only stay in the Hoenn region.

This champion certainly doesn't seem as carefree as the gym leader.

"Okay, be careful on the road."

"If you need anything, call me immediately. I can provide more than what Adu can."

Daigo reminded him, after all, he was backed by Devon Corporation. There was nothing Devon Corporation couldn't get. Even a Master Ball, Daigo could make one for Bai Yu with a little effort.

"I know, I know." Bai Yu waved his hand, not taking Daigo's promise to heart.

……

In the waters of the Kanto region, Daigo sat on the back of a Corviknight. He had originally ridden a Skarmory, but Skarmory was too inconvenient to ride, so while he was still in the Galar region, he also captured a Corviknight to use for transportation.

"Mickey, I'll be right back."

"Okay, I got it. I'll manage the league for you for a while."

"Let me make this clear beforehand: I'm managing this for you, not taking on the role myself. I have other things to do in a few months."

"Okay, okay, that's settled. I'm almost there."

Daigo hung up the phone, a smirk playing on his lips. Come to think of it, it had been a long time since he'd faced off against Michael.

He had just watched that match in Macha, which had stirred up his competitive spirit.

He couldn't beat Bai Yu, and Daigo didn't want to take advantage of A Du's vulnerability, so he could only turn his attention to his friend Mikoli.

……

Without Daigo and Lance, the gym became deserted again.

"Gu~"

Gu Jianbao rubbed against Bai Yu's leg, his eyes filled with longing.

"Right, it's time to eat."

Bai Yu glanced at the clock and nodded: "Let's go. You deserve the most credit today. I'll give you a treat later. I wonder if Supervillain has woken up yet. Should I give it some sleeping pills?"

"Its current state doesn't seem like it's in a condition where it can eat the remaining fruit."

Bai Yu glanced at Supervillain, who was lying on the ground fast asleep. It wouldn't be right not to feed it, since Supervillain had just made quite a contribution.

Thinking of this, Bai Yu took out a sleeping pill from the system space and sprayed it slightly on Supervillain's nose. Supervillain, smelling the scent, woke up from his sleep in no time.

As soon as it woke up, it looked around warily. From its perspective, the game was still going on as usual; it had just accidentally fallen asleep.

"The match is over."

Having already prepared food for Supervillain, Bai Yu placed the food in front of the bewildered Supervillain and couldn't help but tease him.

This guy thinks he's in a competition.

"So mean~"

The Superbug pouted, sniffing the fragrance in the air, and ignored Bai Yu, using its tentacles to eat the Pokémon food in front of it bit by bit.

Bai Yu quickly prepared food for the Pokémon in the backyard, then looked at the shadowy spot and saw the food he had prepared specifically for that Pokémon. He then said, "Marshad, you don't need to hide. I saw you a long time ago. Come and eat too."

Although Bai Yu did not capture Marshadow, the long-term provision of food for Ghost-type Pokémon gradually gave Marshadow a sense of belonging. In addition, Bai Yu has rainbow feathers, so theoretically he is also a trainer that Marshadow is pursuing.

"Masha~"

Marcia emerged from the shadows, her eyes looking somewhat flustered, but she still straightened her back and walked over.

Bai Yu didn't expose Marshadow's inner thoughts. He smiled, placed the Ghost-type Pokémon food in front of Marshadow, and turned to walk towards the room.

Seeing this, Marshall also glanced at Bai Yu again.

Until Bai Yu left.

Marcia quickly ate the Pokémon food in front of her.

In the blink of an eye, the Pokémon food in front of it disappeared. Marshadow let out a satisfied burp, and to avoid being discovered, it even went back to the shadows to burp again.

Then Gengar, which shares the same quirks, was discovered.

"Kou Jie~"

Gengar made a funny face, but Marshadow looked at Gengar like he was an idiot.

soon.

Gengar silently lowered its head and focused on eating the Pokémon food in front of it.

It pointed to the Pokémon food in front of it, still missing the Energy Cubes it used to eat. They tasted incredibly delicious, and it hadn't had any Energy Cubes in a very, very long time.

The main problem is that Gengar didn't get a chance to participate. If it did, Baiyu would have given it one more or less.

This can't be blamed on Gengar. It can only be said that the trainers who come to challenge are either too weak or too strong. For those random trainers, Bai Yu usually sends out Graveler and others. But for trainers like Lance and Steven, Bai Yu will bring out Pokémon to deal with them.

Just like Gu Jianbao who played today.

The Ancient Sword Leopard hasn't competed in a long time, as haven't it, along with the Ancient and Future Species of Padia, and even the Magneton, which has been virtually invisible. (End of Chapter)
