You're the only one who knows how to battle Pokémon?

By then, it will be an even more intense battle!

Not only Ji Bei, he will also fight against top trainers from all over the world, including that trainer!

He pointed at his Rotom phone and announced to the world:

"In fact, using the 'Newly Captured Pokémon Battle', it's not just me and Coach Ji, there are also many of the world's top trainers participating in this battle!"

"For example, Chengdu champion Adu, Sinnoh champion Sirona..."

"And that trainer!"

"When the time comes, I will never lose again!"

He lowered the brim of his hat, his eyes calm and burning with the belief that he would win.

Although the Emperor of Dan did not mention any names, the answer was already obvious.

Who else can he call a "hot trainer"?

Has Chi Hong already made an appointment with Ji Bei to fight? And so many champions are participating?

Although it is a "Baby Cup" where newly captured Pokémon are used to compete, it is also the "Champion Baby Cup"!

Moreover, it even feels more exciting than the Global Championship!

For a moment, Ji Bei's live broadcast room, which was broadcasted by Qishu, was completely blown up. A large number of barrages disappeared in a flash, like a waterfall falling from the sky. It was impossible to make out a single word.

In just one minute, the live broadcast room exploded in another sense, and was directly destroyed by the sudden increase in traffic in a short period of time!

A minute later, netizens who were anxious to watch the show discovered the update that Chihong had just released, which contained a more detailed statement.

"The Lao Ji Fu Mang Cup will be held in Baiyin Mountain in 10 months. It will be broadcast live and commented by Qi Shu."

"Contestants: Ji Bei, Chi Hong, Qing Lu, A Jin, A Du, Xi Luona, Kaluni, and Dan Di."

"Sponsor: Red."

"Rules: From the quarterfinals to the finals, it's an all-comers battle! Participants can only use Pokémon that were captured within a year!"

(That is, the time point is two months ago, and you can only use Pokémon captured after that time)

"Prize: Master Ball made by Silver Company."

(There is no setting that guarantees 100% capture, but Pokémon that are too strong can only be captured using Master Balls. Poké Balls, Ultra Balls, and Advanced Balls have limited capacity.)

“PS: I didn’t expect that Dandi would reveal the news directly. I might as well stop hiding it and announce it directly.”

"PS2: I wish all trainers a wonderful game!"

As a result, Bilibili exploded, followed by Baidu Tieba, and finally even OICQ exploded.

For a time, the entire network was abuzz with heated discussions, and countless gray avatars started jumping again, which could be described as a widespread "resurrection of the dead".

As a result, all mainstream social platforms were paralyzed, and major operators began to work frantically to repair them.

After all, this news is too big a deal, and the competition is no less important than the World Championships!

Ji Bei held his mobile phone in his hand, looking at the Internet environment that had become boiling and suffocating in just a few minutes, and he felt bitter but couldn't express it in words.

God damn, this is a concise and to the point speech from an old horse waiting in the stable.

There's not even one dusk trainer who's thirty years old!

At first he just wanted to get away with it, but he didn't expect that Red and Green would team up to stab him in the back, and even spread the excessive imagination to people-to-people transmission.

At this point, he has basically accepted the reality of having to compete against major champions.

It's a blessing, not a curse, but it's a curse that cannot be avoided.

After all, the opponent's level is there, so it's not shameful if you lose.

However, now, Chihong and Dandi have used this open but informal competition to completely stir up the heat and have even issued a formal announcement, which can be described as "attracting worldwide attention."

At that time, whoever loses will be publicly executed!

Jirachi laid on Xiaoyou's head, yawned, and said, "I'll set an alarm and wake up for another week. Jibei will probably have a competition by then. Xiaoyou, Mali, remember to pick me up."

"I think this Pokémon battle is quite interesting and a good pastime."

"Don't you only wake up once every thousand years?" Mary was puzzled.

"That's just a setting. My endurance is not that bad. If necessary, I can carry out daily activities for a thousand years."

(The Jirachi in the movie needs to use its energy to maintain the abundance of the Fauns, so it has to sleep for a long time, but this one doesn't.)

In just two days, Jirachi has learned a lot of contemporary vocabulary from the human world.

"Also, although those two guys refused to see me, they gave me some energy, enough to keep me active for a long time."

It refers to Cang Xiang and Zang Marant.

"Okay, got it!" Xiaoyou agreed.

"But the Galar Championship Cup will start in six months, so it's my game first!"

"It's my game too!" Mary said firmly.

Thanks to Ji Bei and Jirachi's help, she now has the capital to defeat Xiao You.

By then, she must win the competition!

Chapter 108 Return to the Starry Sky

After finishing the battle with Dan Di, Ji Bei and others spent a full seven days with Jirachi in Hualang Town. Now it was time to say goodbye, and they came to the Minas Lake in the wilderness.

That night, the starlight was dim, the cool evening breeze was refreshing, and the surface of Lake Minas was calm and sparkling like a mirror.

In addition to Ji Bei, Xiao You and Mali, Dan Di, He Pu and Sonia also came to see Jirachi off. They also formed a deep relationship during these seven days.

Of course, there is always a shortage of travelers in the wild area, and there are also some other trainers here, setting up camps scattered around the lake.

"We caught Jirachi here, but no one would believe it if we told them." Ji Bei explained the whole story.

Dante smiled and said, "I heard that a truly powerful trainer will attract all kinds of Pokémon, and Jirachi will definitely only be attracted to a trainer like Coach Ji."

"This luck is also part of strength."

"It could also be Xiaoyou or Mali." Ji Bei said bluntly.

After all, Xiaoyou is the protagonist of "Sword and Shield", and Marie, who can defeat her once, already has the potential to win the championship.

"Perhaps before the 'Old Horse Cup', your position as Galar's champion will be threatened."

He was still polite in saying it, and didn't directly say that he could only be champion for another six months.

"Hahaha, that's exactly what I want. Anyway, I've already lost, so I don't have any 'undefeated' burden!" Dan Emperor laughed heartily.

Since Coach Ji is so optimistic about these two trainers, then maybe there will be a day when he will be knocked off the throne. And a strong opponent will only make him feel more excited!

"Jirachi!" Hep's tears were streaming down his face, and he looked reluctant.

It has been a long time since he met an equally strong opponent in the game. Now that Jirachi is gone, perhaps all he will experience in the future is bullying!

Everyone present was an adult, even Yuu and Marie, who were already adults according to Galar's laws. They knew how to control their emotions, and even if they felt reluctant, they did not show it too much.

But as Hepp revealed his true feelings about the deficit, everyone's defenses were somewhat broken.

Jirachi floated up into the air, its entire body lit up with a star-like glow.

It said goodbye to everyone: "Don't cry, Hepu. Those who know you know that you are saying goodbye, and those who don't know will think that you are going to see me off to the end!"

"It's not like I can't wake up! I'll come to watch the Galar Championship in six months, and the 'Old Horse Cup' in ten months."

"We've made a promise! Don't break your promise!"

Xiaoyou stretched out her fingers and hooked them with Jirachi.

"Then I'll let you witness Youbao's heroic spirit!"

"Eebee!" Eevee also said goodbye to it. It had a lot of fun playing these days. In Xiaoyou's house's "Pokémon Battle Royale", it had never lost once except when letting the opponent win.

Ji Bei held it in his arms, and couldn't help but recall that this little guy was just born a month ago.

It is not yet numb to time and may not understand the concepts of six months and ten months.

This is several times longer than the time it has been alive.

"I probably can't take you to Silver Mountain, but I will come to Galar to watch the Champions League, and I will prepare Kyushu specialties for you then!"

“It’s a deal!” Jirachi gradually rose into the air, shedding layers of fine light.

"This is starlight from the universe, which is of great benefit to Pokémon." Sonia immediately took out the measuring instrument she carried with her and analyzed the composition.

She signaled to Xiaoyou and the others to release their Pokémon to bathe in the starlight.

Then, Jirachi's voice gradually became louder, even reaching the scattered trainers nearby.

"Everyone! I spent a wonderful seven days in Galar!"

"I am very happy here! So, I hope everyone in this land can live happily too!"

"Make a wish! Make a wish to me, Kira!"

"As long as you have a good wish in your heart, it will definitely come true!"

Its silhouette became increasingly distant, but the aurora appeared in the night sky, like silk, gently rising and falling, and finally covering the entire Lake Minas and its shore.

Sonia wanted to use instruments to analyze it to find out what Jirachi did, but Dante patted her shoulder and said, "Just make a wish!"

"Jirachi must have transformed the starlight accumulated for thousands of years into the energy of 'prayer' and bestowed it upon all the people and Pokémon nearby."

She looked up and saw the trainers and Pokémon in the distance, all clasping their hands together in a prayer gesture, as if they had completely understood Jirachi's intentions.

"That's true, how do you know that?"

Looking back, Sonia decided to become a researcher because she could no longer defeat Dantei in Pokémon battles. She realized her limits as a trainer and took another approach.

Nowadays, if you are inferior in academics, you will lose all face.

"Just feel it with your heart. You've spent three days with Jirachi, so you should be able to feel its feelings for us."

"It's the same as making a wish, but Jirachi must want to fulfill his friend's wish more, especially the first person or Pokémon he sees after waking up."

"Mary, Xiaoyou and Coach Ji, your wish will definitely come true the soonest!"

"Because this is also Jirachi's wish."

Dantei is worthy of being the champion. He loves Pokémon deeply and can feel the mood of Pokémon, even Jirachi who he only saw for seven days.

"Really? Then I'll have to make a good wish!"

"Me too!"

Xiaoyou and Mali clasped their hands together, closed their eyes, and began to make a wish.

“I hope I can eat curry rice made by Jibao every day…”

"I hope that Jianding Town can prosper again, and I hope that Coach Ji can come to live in Jianding Town..."

Although they are all trainers, their wishes are not related to Pokémon battles. Perhaps they believe more in the strength gained through hard work and talent.

In that case, Ji Bei doesn't plan to make a wish in this regard.

What is most important and what he cares about most now is, of course, his Pokémon.

In addition to Eevee, Grunt and Meowth have some rough pasts, especially Grunt, who may still be missing Houndoom and has not been able to fully control the flame of "Great Indignation".

"I hope my Pokémon can live happily!"

Jirachi's figure gradually faded away, and a large number of meteors streaked across the night sky, like a rain curtain, dazzling the eyes.

"Ah, it's a meteor shower!" After making a wish, Xiaoyou opened her eyes first and admired the beautiful meteor showers.

Ji Bei also opened his eyes. This was the first time he saw a meteor shower with his own eyes.

It is so gorgeous, with a magical brilliance!

This night became a long-standing legend in Galar. It is said that the 56 trainers near Lake Milotic later realized the wishes they made that night.
