Elf Trader: My trump card is the Light/Dark Mantis.

To come up with something like this!

A Gym Leader-level Pokémon is destined to be instantly killed when facing an Elite Four-level Pokémon!

People then felt that Rika might be being a bit too arrogant.

Even though the cosmic spirit is strong, it can't win against a challenge from a higher realm with a reverse attribute!

unless……

Some of the more skilled elite trainers began to speculate.

"This first Gym Leader-level Cosmic Pokémon has some special moves like Spikes, Spikes, and Toxic, which can weaken Lorelei's Pokémon. This is the only reasonable explanation!" "Cosmic Pokémon are still quite strong. Even if they are a level behind, they shouldn't be able to be one-shotted. This Pokémon should have a tactical role in weakening the opponent or setting up the terrain!"

“Rika is still young and lacks experience, so it’s normal that some of the team’s functional fighters are only at the dojo level.”

These elite trainers quickly provided a reasonable explanation.

In their view, it was obvious that the Grass-type Gym Leader's starting Pokémon was not his main force!

It's just a tactical arrangement...

As for Lisabubu in front of us, she has to fight to the death with the ice-type Dewl.

Absolutely not! That would be suicide!

There is absolutely no hope of winning!

These elite trainers made a professional judgment.

The Pokémon that Rika is using as her first starter is only at the Gym level due to her weak tactics and foundation!

I reckon it'll be taken down by the white sea lion after using a few skills!

That must be it!

however……

Soon, countless elite trainers were dumbfounded!

In the Quartz Arena, Rotom, standing beside the referee, was announcing information.

"Welcome everyone to watch the King of Kings Challenge! The rules for this match are 6v6!"

"The two sides in this duel are one by one."

"Rika, the Gym Leader of Celadon City!" "And Lorelei, the Ice-type Elite Four member!"

"If Miss Rika wins this challenge, she will become the Grass-type Elite Four member!"

"If Miss Lorelei successfully defends her title, she will be allowed to refuse all challenge invitations from trainers who wish to challenge her for the Elite Four position for the next three years," Rotom announced passionately.

Meanwhile, many of Kona's fans in the arena were already popping champagne.

This Ice-type Elite Four member is exceptionally beautiful, attracting many admirers... At this moment, in the stands of Indigo Plateau, there are at least nearly 10,000 Lorelei fans!

At this moment, the group of people spoke in a clearly disdainful tone.

"We thought the person who got the Cosmic Pokémon must be really strong, using a Gym Leader-level Pokémon in a battle?" "We were even worried that Lorelei might lose... Looks like we were overthinking it!"

"Yeah, that Rika is so weak! Having a Gym Leader-level Pokémon in the team will significantly reduce her strength! She's bound to lose!" "It's over! There's nothing more to watch!" They all felt sorry for her.

Although Rika must have some skill to dare to challenge the Elite Four, she clearly lacks experience, as she actually brought a Gym Leader-level Pokémon to make up the numbers!

Even if the Celadon City Gym Leader's remaining 5 Pokémon are all Elite Four level, he will still be at a huge disadvantage because of the Gym Leader level Pokémon he started with!

It's almost as if the outcome is already decided!

Chapter 130: Has she gone mad?

Rotom began broadcasting the challenge information he had received in advance.

"In this Elite Four challenge, Ms. Rika will use a Gym-level Lisabubu to challenge all six of Lorelei's Elite Four Pokémon."

"If the challenge is successful, Miss Rika will become the new Grass-type Elite Four member."

"The challenge failed, and Miss Lorelei retains her position as the Ice Elite Four member."

These words caused an uproar throughout the room!

If there were still some people who had doubts just now.

Is Rika overestimating the power of the cosmic spirits...?

They actually used a Gym Leader-level Pokémon to lead the charge!

But this isn't entirely incomprehensible!

Trainers with even a little influence know that Archie's Sharpedo, as well as the recently famous Silver, Ash, and Misty, all easily challenged opponents of higher levels using their Cosmic Pokémon!

Many trainers present could tell that Lisabubu was at the peak of the Gym Leader level, not far from the Elite Four level!

Therefore, even though the Ice-type Dew Lion has type advantages.

This cosmic spirit can easily take on challenges beyond its level.

However, defeating an Ice-type Pokémon of a higher level offers a chance...

Defeating six of them? Are you kidding me?

Is the Heavenly King really just a dish to be prepared?

Countless viewers expressed their utter incomprehension!

"Is Rika here to be funny?"

"A Gym Leader-level Pokémon, challenging an Ice-type Elite Four member with a reverse type matchup... Are all of these Pokémon legendary??"

"This isn't a question of whether we can win or not; it's that Rika is far too arrogant!"

"Has this Grass-type Gym Leader gone mad? A Cosmic Pokémon has made her so arrogant!"

"There's no way we can win this game. What's the point of us even coming here to watch? Give us our money back!"

"Why would the league agree to such an absurd request for treatment!"

The audience was buzzing with excitement. Not a single person in 663 believed Rika would win!

And I find their mentality extremely puzzling!

On what grounds? How dare she!

A gym-level Pokémon has to challenge six?!

It's a complete waste of Kona's time!

It's even more of a deception of the audience's feelings!

"If we'd known you weren't even trying to win, why did we travel all the way to the Quartz Highlands to watch this match for the sake of the Cosmic Spirits!" "Go back, you can't win!"

"Just have the league ban this match! Even with a Cosmic Spirit, you can't be this arrogant, wasting everyone's time!" "Do you really think you're invincible just because you have a Cosmic Spirit?" Many people angrily attacked Rika!

Her actions completely disregarded the existence of the league's top players! It also made the audience feel that their feelings had been betrayed.

However, the Grass-type Gym Leader remained calm in the face of the audience's questions.

She knew that when she tried to use a gym-level Pokémon to defeat six opponents and compete for the Grass-type Elite Four title, she would face a lot of misunderstanding and anger...

But apart from Lisabubu, the other Grass-type Pokémon that Rika had were of little help in this battle, so it was better to just create a gimmick!

To ensure greater fame after winning!

Moreover, Master Fu had already prepared Lijia mentally.

As long as we win, all doubts will disappear!

Therefore, Rika simply waited calmly for the referee to announce the start of the match... Despite all the doubts, she felt certain of victory!

Kona's level is not high!

This Ice-type Elite Four member is devoted to participating in Interpol (AEDB) missions, ostensibly for the sake of the entire Pokémon world's development and to maintain world peace. However, this has slowed down Lorelei's own power-up.

Furthermore, the Pokémon under this Elite Four member's control only reached the Elite Four level in terms of aptitude. ...

Kobe Bryant earned his title as the King of the Hill through sheer hard work and the fact that many promising new talents had yet to emerge during the early days of the league.

Rika knew very well that although her opponent was quite strong, he was still not as good as those veteran, truly powerful superstars!

When he encounters his own Lisa Bubu, the outcome is still uncertain!

The Pokémon beside her, wearing a huge, purple flowerbed-like sun hat, nodded elegantly to its trainer. Lisabubu didn't seem to care about being questioned. ...

But it was a little annoyed.

Why are their trainers being attacked so much?

It was determined to win this game!

And you have to win beautifully!

"The competition now officially begins!"

I'm looking forward to the final result!

Rotom is still broadcasting with great passion!

No matter how dissatisfied the audience was, they still booed.
