Pokémon: This trainer is too wild!

Chapter 384 My God! Lord Sakaki! He's so strong!
Actually, not only Michael was there, but Daigo also came with Michael. They both happened to be free of work recently.

But upon hearing Mikuri's exaggerated cheers, Daigo's expression became somewhat strained.

Bro, we're both people of some standing, can't you be a little more reserved in public? You're a master-level Coordinator in people's eyes.

But clearly, Mr. Mikkelsen was unaware of this.

He has great respect for Giovanni, and now that Giovanni is about to start the Four Heavenly Kings Challenge, Mikuri-sensei is naturally very happy.

He also believed that Sakaki would definitely succeed in the challenge!

In fact, Daigo and Michael are not the only ones paying attention to this Elite Four challenge.

The top echelons of the leagues in Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos, Alola, Galar, and Padia are all paying close attention.

The Kanto region is the headquarters of the Pokémon League, and this time the Kanto League's Elite Four may undergo personnel changes.

After all, the challenger is Sakaki!

That man was his father!

"Alright! The challengers are ready, so let's welcome the first of the Kanto Four Heavenly Kings!"

The sunglasses-wearing host announced loudly.

"King Kona!"

As the sunglasses-wearing host shouted enthusiastically, a woman dressed in what looked like an office lady uniform slowly walked out of the passage on the other side. Her voluptuous figure was fully displayed under her fitted dress, and she had a cold face and her long red hair was tied up.

She is a very charming woman, in every way.

As Kona entered the scene, the entire venue erupted in another wave of excited cheers.

Kona is quite popular among the Kanto Elite Four.

Especially since Kona has such a perfect, sexy figure and a beautiful, aloof face, yet her temperament is so cold.

Yes, this stark contrast is undoubtedly very appealing.

Moreover, Kona is no mere ornament; as one of the Kanto Elite Four, her strength is beyond doubt.

Kona slowly walked to her seat, crossed her arms, and calmly watched Sakaki across from her.

"The Elite Four Challenge Match 1! The challenger is Giovanni, the Gym Leader of Viridian Dojo, and the defending champion is Lorelei, one of the Elite Four."

"The battle rules are 6 vs 6. When all six Pokémon on one side are unable to battle, it is considered a loss."

"The challenger has failed, and the challenge is over."

"The defending champion has failed, and the next challenge begins!"

"The battle begins!"

The referee entered the arena, announced the rules of the match, and then waved a small flag to signal the start of the match.

The referee left the arena, and Giovanni took out a Poké Ball, a faint smile playing on his lips as he looked at Lorelei on the other side.

“Sakaki, we’ve known each other for quite some time now.”

Kona lowered her arm, her expression and voice remaining quite indifferent.

But that's just her habit; she does it with everyone.

"However, according to the rules of the King of the Hill Challenge, I'll just give a brief self-introduction."

Kona took out her first Poké Ball and looked directly at Giovanni.

"Welcome to the Pokémon League. I am Lorelei, one of the Elite Four."

Kona adjusted her glasses.

"My specialty is Ice, you know? Freezing moves are powerful. Once your Pokémon is frozen, it can't move at all."

Lorelei's Poké Ball grew larger, and she threw it forcefully.

"Well then, Giovanni, let's see how you deal with my Ice-type Pokémon!"

The Poké Ball opened in mid-air, flashed white light, and landed. A strong, white Delicious let out a soft growl, ready for battle.

"Hehehe~"

Sakaki looked at the white sea lion and couldn't help but chuckle softly and shake his head.

The white sea lion is one of Kona's most iconic mainstays, the other being Kona's ace, Laplace.

However, both Dewpur and Lapras are Pokémon that don't perform very well in proper arenas.

As the saying goes, water and ice go hand in hand, and this is true of Dewprik and Lapras, as they are both Water/Ice type Pokémon.

However, they also have one thing in common: they are both not very convenient to move around on land.

"King Kona, everyone in Kanto will see this today." Giovanni still had one hand in his pocket, smiling faintly.

"I, Sakaki, am the strongest man in Kanto!"

"King Nido".

Giovanni threw his first Poké Ball.

A flash of white light, and a strong, burly Nidoking landed heavily in front of Giovanni, grinning menacingly as it stared at the white sea lion.

It's none other than Nidoking, Giovanni's main fighter!

Giovanni is taking this King of the Hill Challenge very seriously; he must win spectacularly!

"Nidoking versus Dewl, in terms of attributes alone, Uncle Giovanni is at a disadvantage."

From the audience, Prantina analyzed.

After all, both Ice and Water types are effective against Nidoking.

However, this only reflects the advantages and disadvantages of attributes; the Pokémon's actual strength and the ability to command are currently unknown.

"The strongest Kanto Elite Four in the world, I wonder just how strong they are." Serena looked curiously at the cold and beautiful Lorelei on the field.

Kona is the first of the Kanto Elite Four, which means that Kona is the weakest of the Kanto Elite Four.

"Mr. Mammon, can Uncle win?" Serena asked Mammon curiously.

Although her attributes are advantageous against Giovanni, as Mr. Mammon's father, Serena thinks that Giovanni should be able to win him over, right?
"Tsk~ Serena, you should ask how many main units Lorelei needs to take down this Nidoking."

Mammon's lips slowly curled into a smile.

Serena: "??"

"They are all champions, but the gap between champions is much bigger than you can imagine."

Mammon looked at the two players on the field.

Champion-level, weaker champion-level characters include characters like Mikuri and Karuno.

The strongest champions are Daigo and Cynthia.

The top-tier champions are players like Dante, Giovanni, and Wataru.

In fact, the gap between champions is astonishing!

Just like Dan Di, although he is also a champion-level player, he can almost always defeat a weaker champion-level player, even if it is just an ordinary main force!

This is not an exaggeration, but something that actually happened in the original work, because the difference between the two is that huge. Leon, with just one Rumble Golem, almost wiped out Diantha's team, and single-handedly took down four of Diantha's main Pokémon.

It's like they're torturing Karuno like a boy in shorts on the street.

If Dan Di were a little more ruthless, he could recall the Thunderous Vajra Ape and replace it with other main forces, resulting in a clean sweep.

The Thunderous Vajra Ape was just an ordinary main force in the Dan Emperor's team.

However, for other champions, the ordinary main players in Dandi's team are at the same level as their ace players or even stronger.

This is the terrifying strength of a top champion!
When they play against other champions, it's like a complete game-changer.

“This Nidoking is Dad’s top-tier mainstay. You can all take a good look at it, since you might face Dad in the future.”

Mammon leaned back in his chair, eagerly anticipating the battle.

It's clear that Giovanni is taking this Elite Four challenge very seriously, which makes sense, as he's aiming to reach the top of the Kanto League.

Naturally, one must fully demonstrate one's power before the world.

As for why Serena and Prandina were reminded of this, it was naturally because of the upcoming World Championships.

Sakaki will definitely participate, so Serena and the others have a chance to meet Sakaki at the World Championships, right?

And at this moment on the field.

"White sea lion, surf!"

Kona launched the first attack, as she had never actually seen Giovanni's strength in a direct sense.

But she had also heard that when Giovanni went to support the Hoenn and Unova regions, the reports stated that Giovanni was very strong.

However, Kona is also very confident in herself. Although she is only the number one of the Kanto Elite Four, she is still a champion!
She could win a championship in other regions, but Cora simply doesn't have any ambition for that kind of fame.

"Raid."

Sakaki smiled faintly.

The white sea lion's body shimmered with a pale blue light, like a water-based surfer!
Splash! Splash!
The sound of waves was incessant as a huge wave surged up from under the white sea lion, lifting it up.

However, at the same time, Nidoking charged toward the white sea lion at an astonishing speed.

Dark-type surprise attack! Dark-type priority move!

Moreover, Nidoking's attack was incredibly fast!
"White Sea Lion!" Kona's pupils contracted slightly.

Before the surfer had even fully formed, Nidoking had already dashed up behind the white sea lion, its sharp claws gleaming with black light, and fiercely stabbed at the white sea lion.

The white sea lion had already sensed something, but the attack was too fast!
boom!
The attack struck the white sea lion hard in the back. The white sea lion cried out in pain as its entire body was sent flying by the attack, crashing to the ground and whimpering in pain.

Dark-type Sucker Punch doesn't counter Dewl, but Nidoking's power is so strong, it hurts so much!
The surfing trip was cut short before the white sea lion was knocked down.

"thunder."

Sakaki's tone remained calm.

Boom!

A massive bolt of golden lightning descended from the sky and struck the white sea lion with tremendous force.

With a loud bang, an electric-type thunderclap exploded on the white sea lion, sending up clouds of smoke and dust.

Lorelei's expression turned grim. This was no different from a surprise attack; the Electric-type Thunder was a counter to Dew Lion!
The damage from this lightning strike is far greater than that from a surprise attack.

But this is not over yet!
"earthquake."

“niduo～!”

Nidoking's ferocious face was filled with a terrifying and overwhelming malice. His thick tail rose up and then slammed heavily onto the battlefield.

Rumble!
The entire battlefield was trembling violently, with tangible earthquake shockwaves surging forward.

Earthquakes on the ground!

The white sea lion, which had just been struck by lightning, was in so much pain that it couldn't even dodge and could only watch helplessly as the earthquake shockwave hit.

Under Kona's grim and solemn expression, the earthquake shockwave rippled through the white sea lion's body.

Overwhelmed by intense pain, the white sea lion collapsed, its eyes darting around in circles.

The entire room fell silent!

Before long, gasps of astonishment filled the air.

"Fuck!!!"

"Really? Is this Nidoking?!"

"He defeated Elite Four member Dewl in just three moves!! Is this the power of Gym Leader Giovanni?"

Why isn't my Nidoking this powerful?

"Oh my god! Sakaki-sama!!"

Without a doubt, this swift and clean battle shocked everyone.

After all, Giovanni was fighting against Lorelei, one of the Kanto Elite Four.

"As expected, it's really too strong."

Daigo looked at the strong and fierce Nidoking in the arena with admiration.

He could actually tell that Kona's white sea lion was definitely not weak, and it was fine for it to use surfing to test the waters at the beginning.

Even so, Nidoking seized the opportunity in a surprise attack and took him down with a powerful strike.

"Of course, this is Mr. Sakaki's main force!"

Michael raised his head with great pride.

Daigo glanced at Michael speechlessly. "What are you so proud of? What does Mr. Giovanni have to do with you?"

Meanwhile, backstage.

"He defeated Lorelei's Dewl so easily, hehehe... Giovanni was really hiding his true strength before."

Kikuko's low laughter was ambiguous.

"..." Shiba stared intently at Sakaki's figure on the screen.

He couldn't wait to have a real man's battle with Sakaki!

"It seems that even without Groudon, with his strength, Giovanni could probably reach you, Lance."

Kikuko looked at Watari.

"Adu, what do you think?"

With his arms crossed and an arrogant posture, the blood-haired youth stared intently at the screen, his cold, haughty eyes fixed on Sakaki within it.

The arrogant dragon envoy spoke calmly.

"His strength is probably no less than mine."
