Divine Plan? But I'm a Pokémon trainer.

Chapter 387 The (Former) Champion from Galar

Even the Elite Four, whose strength has improved rapidly, could not possibly defeat Link's four Pokémon with just one Mega Absol. In fact, apart from Ribbon, which "took over" and left early, and Cypher, which voluntarily left as a "farewell gift," it could not defeat any of them.

Despite Saifuro's lack of knowledge that Mega Absol's ability to reflect change moves, his "Farewell Gift" was deflected back at Dragonite, significantly weakening its power.

In the end, Dragonite and Incineroar still managed to win the battle in a mixed doubles match.

Link was very pleased after the match.

As times change and everyone progresses, the environment for Pokémon battles is getting better every day.

Only victory can make Pokémon battles boring; the stronger the opponent, the more valuable the victory.

After the battle, he planned to treat the somewhat tired Ribbon and Cypher and send them back to Kanto, replacing them with Pokémon from other ranches to experience battles.

Unexpectedly, they spotted a familiar figure in the corridor of the battle tower – Fire Goose from Team Lava.

A yandere who seems a bit eccentric?

The latter was originally talking to a black-haired woman who was accompanied by a little dog, but after seeing him, she subconsciously left the place.

"Fu~"

Although all members of Team Magma and Team Marine, except for the organization's leader, were released early due to their contributions in the last incident, Fox's intuition tells him that there must be something dirty or secret between the two of them.

Link shrugged. As for Fire Goose and Higana, let Big Miscalculation worry about that.

However, as he passed by, Higanbana suddenly smiled mysteriously and said, "Your Dragonite is really powerful. I look forward to the day when I can battle you."

Upon hearing this, Link suddenly stopped.

"Then today."

The other person didn't react immediately: "What?"

Link paused for a moment, then said again, "I can fight you right now, Elbow. Let's go rent a training ground."

But that's not what Higana meant just now.

"Oh? Well, what I mean is, someday, definitely not today. Anyway, see you later."

After saying that, she left directly. She was busy dealing with her own affairs and had no intention of fighting at this time.

Watching the departing figure of the inheritor, Link shook his head.

Unfortunately, the Battle Tower might be the only time when Higanbana has a chance to win.

After all, he specifically brought the Celestial Spirit Mask of the Evil Spirit Phantom on this trip...

While Yao Peng's absolute strength is inferior to Huo Peng's, it possesses a unique skill when it comes to fighting dragons.

"Fu!"

Fire Fox was certain that the person had been plotting something.

Link didn't take it seriously, proceeded with the treatment as planned and adjusted the team composition, then plunged back into the battle tower...

……

On the other hand, Daigo, who was busy making plans, met with Mastedt, the foreign champion who had come from afar.

At this time, Mastedt had only retired a few years earlier due to the match-fixing scandal, and was not as old as he was during his Sword and Shield days. He was traveling all over the world and enjoying himself immensely.

While investigating the legendary bamboo shoots in Farns, northwest of Furnace Town, he received an invitation from the Hoenn League and came to Larousse City.

"Mr. Ma Shide, I've always had a question. You haven't made any public appearances since you retired. Why did you suddenly accept the Hoenn League's invitation this time?"

It wasn't really appropriate for Daigo to ask this, but he was genuinely curious about the private lives of other champions after they retired.

If he were to retire, he'd probably have time to travel the world like Mastedt, who spent his days sightseeing and searching for treasures. Actually, Daigo has always wanted to visit Padiya.

"Of course it's for the gyms. This old man also wants to get the signatures that aren't available in the Galar region... cough cough, I mean, I mean challenge gyms in other regions."

sign?

It should be a badge.

Following the former champion's challenge against the Saiyo Tournament, a retired champion has now challenged a gym.

Dawu wanted to speak but stopped.

Do all the other champions like to fry fish?
The gym challenge in Masde is sure to be incredibly fierce.

He had heard somewhat about the style of this veteran from Galar.

It is said that Mastedt himself was a strict and self-disciplined warrior, and his training of elves and his fighting style were both rigorous and tough.

Even though Fighting-type is weak against Psychic-type, he still managed to defeat Popira, the Psychic-type Gym Leader of Galar, through arduous training to win the championship...

"There are still 3 days until the full moon. Actually, there is a gym in Lilycove City and Mossdeep City... Oh right, there are also a few gym leaders in Larousse City right now."

Daigo had intended to recommend some dojo owners to Mash, but the other party waved his hand, seemingly not in a hurry, presumably worried that something might go wrong while he was away.

Ma Shide was indeed an extremely self-disciplined, serious, and reliable master.

Seeing that Daigo seemed to be thinking about something nonsensical, Ma Shide suddenly said, "By the way, what about Kobayashi you mentioned earlier..."

"He arrived not long ago, and he should still be in the battle tower now."

Upon hearing this, Ma Shide seemed to be deep in thought.

Daigo was speechless, never expecting that Link's story had reached the ears of this old man in the Galar region.

He did believe in Link's abilities, but thought that decades of experience would still be difficult to overcome.

Link is still a rookie trainer, by all accounts.

But Ma Shide looked determined: "So do you think he brought the Star Crystal Miracle or not?"

"Talebagos, huh? This elf is indeed not easy to deal with."

Even Daigo, the champion, couldn't come up with a way to break the "Zero Realm" and could only try to trick it. Even after the Star Crystallized Talebagos was transformed, it was still difficult to deal with.

"We originally planned to use it as a backup against Rayquaza's Mega Evolution, just in case. However, Kobayashi told us that Talebagas has been overusing its power recently and is somewhat weak, so it won't be able to fight or use 'Zero Realm' for a while."

This undoubtedly created a flaw in the entire plan, a problem that Daigo had to solve within three days.

Upon hearing this, Mastedt fell into deep thought, as if he were also considering a solution.

This is true.

A while ago, Pokémon released a new booster pack, Crystal Wonders, which includes many crystallized versions of Pokémon.

Retired champions naturally have plenty of money to collect cards, but some cards signed by artists or trainers are truly priceless.

Among them, the alternate art version of Talebagh signed by the trainer is a limited edition worldwide and is simply impossible to buy...

Having had this rare opportunity, Mastedt thought of finding a chance to communicate directly with the trainer.

"Sigh, this is a tough situation. I'll go find Xiaolin after he finishes his matches today."

"what?"

Daigo was overjoyed. Did Masted still have a way to restore Talebagos's power?
Could it be the legendary Dynamax Soup?
