Pokémon, who made him the gym leader?

Chapter 101 Guxin, I am now a champion!

"Dad, how's the Mega Evolution Stone collection going?"

"Of course! I have sent people to various regions to purchase all kinds of strange stones, and I have also sent workers to mine ores, and I have collected quite a few Mega Evolution Stones."

Old Deng gave Guxin a thumbs-up, praising his son's foresight.

"Once Mega Evolution becomes fully visible to the public, we won't even need to speculate; any Mega Evolution Stone will fetch a high price."

Guxin smiled and said, "Compared to Z-Moves, Dynamax, and Crystallize, Mega Evolution, which can qualitatively change a Pokémon's strength and is not limited by region, is truly outstanding!"

Moreover, Guxin understood very well that Mega Evolution in this mixed world of various versions would probably appear in the outside world soon.

But actually, the first to master Mega Evolution were the Meteor Dwellers! It's just that the Meteor Dwellers didn't share this technology.

Meteor Village is the origin of super evolution!

But Dr. Blatano in the Carlos region is probably already researching Mega Evolution. Before Mega Evolution becomes widely known, he should collect as many Mega Evolution Stones as possible, which is something Guxin reminded Old Deng of.

Afterwards, the father and son chatted for a while about various things, and Ziyanghua also prepared a table full of dishes.

The harmonious scene as everyone sat down made the two elders, Hydrangea and Itō, very happy.

Guxin even had the Rotom Dex take several group photos of them. Well, the Rotom Dex has many functions; it can even make phone calls.

If it weren't for the current technological limitations, Rotom phones would actually be the best option.

The Rotom Phone that Riko and her friends all have in Pokémon Horizon is so useful, but we still need to continue researching the technology.

After dinner, Lillie volunteered to be the tour guide, leading Gushin and Irene on a tour of Hoola City.

Irene was very interested in the different customs and characteristics of Alola and Kanto, but unfortunately there wasn't enough time.

On the morning of the second day, the group boarded a plane bound for the Hoenn region. After several hours of flight, they arrived in Rustboro City in the Hoenn region.

Ito and Hydrangea were already very familiar with the route. They rented a car and drove out of the city, eventually arriving at the Meteor Falls mountain range.

Meteor Falls is a very famous wild location in the Hoenn region. The outer area of ​​Meteor Falls is fine, but as you go deeper, the wild Pokémon here become very strong.

Without adequate preparation, even elite trainers can be left in a sorry state and forced to retreat.

Meteor Falls is also one of the habitats of wild Bagon, however, very few trainers actually obtain Bagons from Meteor Falls.

Just like those who wanted to get Larvitar from Mt. Silver in Kanto, very few trainers actually succeeded.

"Once we get here, we'll have to ride a Pokémon inside."

Upon entering the Meteor Falls area, the hydrangea looks towards Guxin.

"Xin'er, you have a Pokémon that can fly, right?"

"have."

Guxin opened Articuno's Poké Ball.

"yiao~"

A melodious and ethereal cry rang out as the arthropod spread its wings.

Wow, so beautiful!

Lillie's clear eyes sparkled as she gazed intently at the magnificent and elegant Articuno. (In the game, Lillie isn't afraid of Pokémon.)

"Goodness, you really did catch Articuno. You're worthy of being my son." Old Deng was very satisfied.

"What a beautiful Articuno! Let's go, Articuno is big enough to carry the three of you."

Hydrangea released a Altaria. As a member of the Meteor Dwellers, she is also an expert in Dragon-type Pokémon and naturally has her own Dragon-type Pokémon.

Hydrangea and Old Deng rode on the Qixi Bluebird.

Guxin and his two companions boarded Articuno, with Lillie sitting in the front, Irene in the middle, and Guxin at the back.

Articuno's back is very spacious, and it's not cramped at all.

"The Articuno feels cool and comfortable."

Lillie felt a chill on her buttocks even through her skirt and leggings, because Articuno's body temperature was relatively low.

Lillie's eyes sparkled with excitement. She had learned from her older sister Irene that this was actually Articuno, the legendary Pokémon of Kanto! A legendary Pokémon!

Gu Xin is indeed an amazing gym leader!

Altaria led the way, while Articuno followed behind; the two Pokémon flew at a considerable speed.

Furthermore, Hydrangea is very familiar with Meteor Falls, and they successfully avoided those fierce wild Pokémon with flying abilities.

"Why is this place called Meteor Falls?"

The wind ruffled her golden bangs, and Lillie smoothed her hair behind her ear before asking curiously.

This is actually her first time visiting another region.

"Because this place was originally formed by a meteorite impact, creating a large cave, and there is also a beautiful waterfall here, which is why it is named after that," Gu Xin explained upon hearing this.

"Brother, do you know about Meteor Village and Meteor People? Can you tell me about them? My godparents have never told me about them."

Lillie's clear voice was full of curiosity.

Her godfather, Ito, is one of the world's top billionaires; her godbrother is the Kanto Gym Leader who has captured legendary Pokémon; and her godmother is a member of an ancient clan with a long history.

Little Nebula above~ Does anyone know? What kind of big family has she infiltrated?

"Yes, Guxin, I'm also very curious. And what is the Inheritor?" Eileen was also very curious. This world is too mysterious and magnificent. Who wouldn't be curious about the secrets of an ancient clan with a long lineage?

"The story of the Meteor Dwellers is quite long," Guxin said, raising an eyebrow.

"It doesn't matter at all!"

"Yes, brother, please tell us about it."

Eileen and Lillie's thirst for knowledge is off the charts.

"Alright, I'll give you a brief explanation then." Gu Xin recalled for a moment.

"If we're talking about the Meteor Dwellers, we have to mention the ancient legendary Pokémon of the Hoenn region, Flying-type Pokémon and Fishhead... no, cough~ it's Groudon and Kyogre."

Gu Xin coughed lightly, almost blurting out the wrong thing.

Ancient Pokémon?

Lillie and Irene were both intrigued by this news, as they had never heard of these two legendary Pokémon.

"The history of the Meteor Dwellers dates back thousands of years, when meteor showers streaked across the night sky and Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre waged a long and protracted war for natural energy."

"Faced with these two ancient Pokémon that were like gods, people were completely helpless and could only watch in despair. At this moment, another ancient legendary Rayquaza descended."

Guxin's eyes flickered slightly.

Rayquaza stopped Primal Groudon and Primal Kyogre, putting them into a deep sleep, and peace was restored in Hoenn.

"Raikkon is so powerful~!"

Lillie exclaimed in surprise. Although she didn't recognize Rayquaza, it must be incredibly strong to be able to stop two legendary creatures from fighting.

"But the matter did not end there. A thousand years later, a meteorite fell in the place where Liuli City is now located. The meteorite broke through the earth's crust, and natural energy surged out from the cracks."

"Groudon and Kyogre awaken and begin their battle once more. Despair once again engulfs the people of Hoenn, and the Meteor Dwellers remember the events of a thousand years ago."

"The inheritor at that time stood on the rainbow meteorite and prayed for Rayquaza's return. As a result of the prayer, Rayquaza descended again, and the power of the prayer was transmitted to Rayquaza through the rainbow meteorite, causing Rayquaza to undergo Mega Evolution."

"Mega Rayquaza has once again defeated Groudon and Kyogre, putting them to sleep, and Rayquaza has returned to the skies."

Guxin spoke slowly, and Lillie and Irene listened intently.

"Afterwards, the people of the meteors built the Sky Pillar to commemorate their god, and inscribed these deeds on the walls of the Sky Pillar, and left behind prophecies."

"The Meteor People prophesied that after a thousand years of peace, another meteorite will fall and strike Hoenn once more. Before the meteorite hits, Rayquaza must be summoned again to shatter the meteorite and save Hoenn. This is the responsibility of the inheritors."

At this point, Gu Xin thought of tide Jiana again.

Indeed, the prophecy of the Meteor People was about this very era, when everything was going so smoothly.

The inheritor, Shiganna, left Meteor Village and successfully found Rayquaza in the Buried Tower in Johto. She then used a large number of Key Stones to Mega Evolve Rayquaza.

Xijiana could have perfectly resolved the prophecy of her clan, but... Xijiana ultimately died a tragic death in the Burial Tower.

Thus, the second inheritor, Higana, who inherited the clan's wishes, her sister's legacy, and the super bracelet, was born.

"So, the Meteor People have existed for at least three thousand years?!"

Eileen was stunned.

"That's right." Guxin nodded.

The Meteor People are undoubtedly the oldest and most enduring race in the world.

Lillie's adorable click of the tongue, three thousand years...

Even the Pokémon League has only been established for a little over a hundred years. It is said that there is a world-class school, Orange Academy, in the Padia region, whose history can be as long as eight hundred years!

But this is less than a third of the time that the Meteor Dwellers have had!

"It's not as outrageous as you think. Although the tradition is ancient, times are changing. The number of pure Meteor Citizens in Meteor Village is very small now. We all need to look forward."

Guxin smiled and said that he did not think the Meteor People were anything special. To put it bluntly, the Meteor People were actually just worshippers of Rayquaza.

Moreover, time is too merciless. Over these long years, most of the Meteor Citizens have left Meteor Village and gone out to live in the outside world.

Just like Guxin's mother, the hydrangea.

About half an hour later, Guxin and his group arrived deep inside Meteor Falls, where an ancient village came into view.

This is Meteor Village, the village of the Meteor People.

"flower."

In front of the village, an elderly woman with gray hair, wearing a white cloak and leaning on a cane, saw the hydrangeas and a joyful smile appeared on her face.

Behind the old woman was a black-haired girl wearing a gray cloak, who was none other than Xijiana.

"Grandma, you're so old, why are you still out here?"

As the bluebird landed on the seventh day of the seventh lunar month, the hydrangea hurriedly went to the elder and the old woman scolded her.

"Don't worry, I'm still quite healthy. I won't be able to walk for the next few years." The old woman smiled kindly; she was a very kind and gentle elder.

"Look at what you're saying! You must live well. I even hope you can name Xin'er's child."

Ziyanghua paused for a moment, then gently held the old woman's hand and said softly.

The number of Meteor Citizens living in Meteor Village is decreasing. Hydrangea was raised by an old woman from a young age, and to Hydrangea, the old woman is her mother.

However, since her granddaughter Xijiana died in the Burial Tower a few years ago, the old woman suffered a great blow and it took her a long time to recover, but her health has deteriorated significantly.

"Hehehe~ In the blink of an eye, Xin'er has grown up so much. I heard from Hua'er that you've become a gym leader now, right?"

The old woman smiled helplessly, then looked at Gu Xin, her aged face showing exceptional kindness.

"Yes, ma'am," Guxin replied gently to the old woman.

He also called her "old woman" because it was a respectful term used by the Meteor People to address their elders.

"What a wonderful child!" the old woman praised.

Afterwards, the group entered Meteor Village. It was clear that the old woman was very happy that the Hydrangea family had come to visit her.

The old lady also specially prepared a meal to welcome the group. After the meal, the elders chatted, while the younger generation, including Gu Xin, came out.

"Guxin, would you like me to show you around the area?"

Xijiana wore a bright and fearless smile, and at her feet followed a little dog.

"Sure, it's been a long time since I've been back." Gu Xin nodded.

Lillie and Irene looked at the free-spirited and dashing young woman with some curiosity.

Her black, shoulder-length hair was tied with red beaded hair ties. She wore a black vest-style bodysuit on top and gray-blue denim shorts on the bottom. She also wore a gray, old-fashioned cloak, and a mysterious anklet was wrapped around her right ankle.

With her tanned skin and a bright, cheerful smile that always graces her striking face, this is Higana, the current inheritor of the Meteor Dwellers.

"Miss Higana, what is this little girl?"

Eileen looked curiously at Gu Niu Niu, who was following closely beside Xi Jiana. She was quite cute, but weren't all Meteor Dwellers dragon-attribute specialists?

"Its name is Xijiana, and it's my good friend."

Xijiana paused for a moment, then smiled freely again, picked up Gu Niu Niu, and said softly.

That's right, she named the little girl Xijiana. Although she knew it was just a comfort, it was her most important memory.

"Higana, what's past is past, try to let it go."

Guxin glanced at Gu Niu Niu and comforted Xi Jiana.

Higana deeply loved her older sister Shigana. According to the hydrangea, when Shigana died in battle, Higana rushed to the Burial Tower in the capital and saw the devastation there. Overwhelmed with grief, she lost her ability to speak for a time.

This shows how severe the blow was to Higana.

"Ah~ I understand. What I want to do most right now is to find Rayquaza and fulfill the clan's prophecy."

Higana's expression showed no sign of anything amiss, and she replied with a smile.

"Speaking of Gushin, I heard from my grandmother that you've become a Gym Leader in the Kanto region?"

Higana changed the subject, clearly not wanting to discuss the matter further.

"That's right, you can come to Guandu to see me when you have time, I'll treat you well."

"Haha~ Okay, I'll go after I achieve my goal." Higana didn't refuse.

"Would you like to try a match? I'm pretty strong now."

But then Higana's smile turned sharp, and her eyes became extremely aggressive, like a dragon.

"Oh? Want to place a bet?"

Gu Xin raised an eyebrow.

"you say."

Higana readily agreed.

"How about this, whoever loses does something for the other, okay?"

"Can!"

Higana's eyes shone brightly; this was exactly what she wanted. Of course, she had her own selfish reasons for suddenly requesting a battle.

If Guxin is strong enough and willing to help her, her plan can proceed more smoothly.

"All-out battle?"

"Of course, it's an all-out battle."

Higana set the rules without hesitation, her expression excited and sharp.

"Guxin, I'll show you just how strong I am, the inheritor of the Meteor Dwellers!"

"I am now a champion! My dragon is undefeated!"

The champion-level successor, Higana, has issued a challenge to you!
