Elf: My three starters are the three gods of Hoenn

Zhang Feng laughed at this!

"Actually, I've had this idea for a while now. The World Strongest Tournament could be used to categorize all Pokémon trainers in the world according to their strength!"

"In order, they can be divided into five levels: Beginner Level, Poké Ball Level, Great Ball Level, Ultra Ball Level, and Master Ball Level!"

“The champions and Elite Four from each region can directly enter the Advanced Ball level competition, and the gym leaders from each region can directly enter the Ultra Ball level. Then, a Ultra Ball level tournament will be held first, and the top eight will be promoted to the Advanced Ball level!”

"After that, the advanced ball-level trainers will engage in one-on-one battles to determine the eight strongest trainers who will be promoted to master ball level. These eight people will then be known as the Eight Masters!"

"Thus, the world's strongest competition, the Battle of the Eight Masters, will finally take place!"

When Zhang Feng eloquently delivered these words, everyone's eyes lit up!

The Pill Emperor also said this!

"Okay, I think this competition rule is acceptable. The gym leaders in each region are all quite strong, and the Elite Four are all very powerful. This way, the strongest trainer can be determined based on the trainers' true strength!"

Seeing that Dante had agreed, Cynthia also said!

"So, the beginner level represents trainers with weak strength, the Poké Ball level represents ordinary trainers and elite trainers, and the Great Ball level represents Gym Leaders, which are trainers at the level of near-Elite Four!"

"Advanced ball level represents regional king-level or higher combat power, and master level represents champion-level or higher combat power, not bad!"

Then, Karuno also became somewhat interested!

"This kind of competition sounds very interesting, I think it's a good idea!"

"Hahaha, since you young people like to join in the fun, then this old man will give it a try and join you!"

The one who said this was Alder, the champion of the Unova Pokémon League!

Seeing that almost everyone agreed, then Ye Ci, the champion of the Padiya region, smiled and said!

"Since everyone agrees, I'll join too!"

And so, a brand new world-class competition was born from the hands of these champions!

"The preparation time for this competition will take several months. It will involve battles between Gym Leaders from different regions, which will be fierce battles. At the same time, it will also allow trainers from different regions who have reached the Elite Four level to participate and determine the eight strongest trainers who will advance to the High Ball level!"

The competition between near-superstars will determine the eight strongest individuals who will then participate in a high-level ball-level competition where all participants possess at least superstar-level combat power!

In this way, compared to the original timeline, directly having the champions from each region fight as the eight masters would be fairer!

Anyway, in Zhang Feng's opinion, Ai Lan was far from being a regional champion, and he didn't know how he managed to participate.

Similarly, this also means that even the champions of each region need to defeat the Elite Four members and vice-champions of their respective regions to reach the Master Ball level and become the eight strongest trainers in the world!

Commonly known as the Eight Masters!

Of course, this kind of competition is bound to be somewhat biased in terms of the match-up order. At least in the first few rounds, the champion will definitely not face the champion. Otherwise, if a regional champion is defeated right away, allowing a strong player who is not at the champion level to advance, that would be ridiculous!

After everyone agreed, the Pill Emperor suddenly spoke up!

"I have a suggestion: in world-class competitions, could legendary Pokémon be allowed to appear during battles?"

After hearing Dan Di's words, everyone fell silent!

Of the eleven people present, only Zhang Feng and Shen Dai possess divine beasts. It's quite clear who this guy is targeting now!

After hearing what the Pill Emperor said, Zhang Feng smiled!

"What's wrong? You lost to my Rayquaza before, and now you don't have the courage to fight against a divine beast, Emperor Dan?"

As soon as Zhang Feng said this, everyone turned their attention to Zhang Feng and the Pill Emperor!

So, does that mean there's another champion who got crushed by Zhang Feng?

However, what Dan Di said was not without reason. If they could bring out divine beasts to fight, then given Zhang Feng's strength, there would be no need for a fight; this guy would be the number one in the world!

After all, no one with a champion Pokémon can defeat six legendary Pokémon with just six ordinary Pokémon!

When everyone fell silent, Zhang Feng snorted coldly.

"I know what you're thinking. You're worried that if divine beasts are allowed to participate in this competition, you might not be able to defeat my first-level god!"

"How about this: we can limit the number of times mythical beasts can appear and set specific rules. These restrictions can be set by you champions, how about that?"

In the very beginning of Pokémon Master Battles, which were in the games, legendary Pokémon were not allowed to participate. It was only later that legendary Pokémon were allowed to participate in battles!

So, if they really want to restrict the use of level one gods in battle, Zhang Feng doesn't care!

Did he really think that without the divine beast, he couldn't defeat the Pill Emperor?

……

Chapter 154 A Level One God can only use one at a time; List of Advanced Ball-level Gods!

Seeing that Zhang Feng had posed this question to them, all ten powerful figures present fell into deep thought!

After a long silence, Kamishiro, as the owner of the divine beast, was the first to speak!

"A level two god, you are permitted to participate in the battle. Do you agree?"

Upon hearing this, everyone remained silent for a long time, but it was Cynthia and Lorelei who spoke first!

"Second-level gods are permitted to participate in the battle!"

Subsequently, Daigo, Michael, and Lance all agreed. At least, no matter what, they were confident enough to defeat a level two god!

Seeing that more than half of the champions had agreed, Karunai and Adek also agreed, and Yaji also chose to agree!

In this way, even if the Pill Emperor vetoed it, it would be useless, so he had no choice but to agree!

"Then, what about first-level gods?"

"I can say this quite normally: if a Level 1 God can fight at will, then Zhang Feng will definitely be the ultimate winner of this so-called world tournament, right?"

Faced with the Pill Emperor's words, although everyone was unwilling to admit it, it was the truth!

However, everyone has a good relationship with Zhang Feng. At least the champions of the Kanto, Hoenn, and Sinnoh regions are all related to Zhang Feng!

Therefore, they couldn't directly say that Zhang Feng was forbidden from choosing a Level 1 God to participate in the competition!

Moreover, who knows if other wild trainers in this world actually have legendary Pokémon?

Having legendary Pokémon is a skill of these trainers; we can't just completely ban them, can we?

So, in the end, it was still the Dragon Crossing the Path!

"In view of the considerations of Champion Dandi, I have a proposal: there will be no limit to the number of times a second-level god can be used in each battle, but a first-level god can only be used once at a time. What do you think?"

After hearing what Yu Longdu said, everyone thought about it and felt that it was already giving Zhang Feng face that only one first-level god could be used in each battle, and there was no restriction on second-level gods!

At the very least, we can't say that we're not giving other trainers any hope of defeating Zhang Feng, can we?

Having only one legendary Pokémon is enough to prevent trainers from feeling despair when competing against him!

However, for Zhang Feng, using only one Level 1 God is the same as not restricting himself. In any case, with the powerful strength of a Level 1 God, even if the opponent sends all six of their main forces, they will definitely not be his match!

Furthermore, do they really think that Zhang Feng's strength lies only in having a divine beast?

With so many main battle Pokémon, are they all useless?

Faced with Yu Longdu's words, Dan Di originally wanted to say something, but then he thought that if he were to be too aggressive, Zhang Feng would probably turn against him completely. Such a restriction was already the best outcome!

Otherwise, the rules would be too harsh, which would be putting too much pressure on Zhang Feng!

"I agree!"

The first to speak was Diantha, the champion of the Kalos Pokémon League. Although it wasn't the first time she had met Zhang Feng, Diantha was well aware of his strength!

Therefore, allowing Zhang Feng to use only one level-one god is already a very good rule!

At least for these top champions, there is still a possibility of fighting Zhang Feng!

Otherwise, if Zhang Feng refuses to participate due to limiting factors, then this so-called battle for the world's strongest will be a joke!

"I agree!"

The second to agree was Adej, the champion of the Unova region!

This person is getting old and is starting to feel the strain; they are preparing for retirement!

Surprisingly, Zhang Feng himself agreed to this rule!

"I agree, but, Pill Emperor, do you really think I can't beat you without using divine beasts?"

Looking at Dan Di with amusement, Zhang Feng's eyes also revealed a strong fighting spirit!

This guy, after he took the initiative to challenge me and was brutally defeated by Zhang Feng's Black Sky-Sitting, actually came up with the condition of prohibiting first-level gods from participating in the competition. It's really speechless!

After Zhang Feng agreed, Daigo, Michael, Cynthia, Lorelei, and the others also agreed!

Ultimately, with more than half the votes cast, the rule was established!

When the Pill Emperor heard Zhang Feng's words, he smiled and said!

"If it's just a battle between ordinary Pokémon, I absolutely won't lose to anyone!"

Seeing how confident Dan Di was, Zhang Feng also smiled!

"It's not just me. If it's just a regular battle, I won't be the only one who can defeat you in the future. You can choose to wait and see!"

After smiling, Zhang Feng left the Pokémon League headquarters in Silver Mountain!

Now that the rules have been set, it's time for the various Pokémon Leagues to spread the word!

Then comes the battle between Gym Leaders at the Great Ball level and near-Elite Four Trainers, which leads to some powerful Trainers advancing to the High Ball level!

Only at this time can it truly be Zhang Feng and his team's home turf!

In the Advanced Ball class, only the four kings, vice champions, and champions from each region can participate. Of course, the older generation of four kings can also participate, as well as some strong players selected from the Super Ball class. Although there are currently eight people, in order to ensure the smooth running of the Advanced Ball class competition, a total of sixty-four people will be gathered to compete in the Advanced Ball class!

Thus began the battle to determine the eight masters!

The participants confirmed for the Advanced Ball Championship are:

The Kanto Pokémon League consists of nine members: Lance (Champion), Lorelei (Vice-Champion), Shiro (Vice-Champion), Luffy (Ice-type Elite Four member), Granny Orange (Poison-type Elite Four member), Bertholdt (Fighting-type Elite Four member), Sabrina (Psychic-type Elite Four member), Blaine (a veteran Fire-type Elite Four member), and Yuuji (Orange Pokémon League Champion).

The Hoenn Pokémon League consists of eight members: Champion Zhang Feng, Vice Champion Steven, Vice Champion Wallace, Dragon-type Elite Four member Genji, Psychic-type Elite Four member Bonnie, Ghost-type Elite Four member Fleur, Dark-type Elite Four member Karyu, and the older generation Water-type Elite Four member Adam.

The Sinnoh Pokémon League consists of six members: Champion Cynthia, Psychic-type Elite Four member Gosho, Electric-type Elite Four member Denji, Fire-type Elite Four member Leyne, Bug-type Elite Four member Aru, and retired Ground-type Elite Four member Granny Kikuno.

The Unova Pokémon League consists of five members: Champion Alder, Fighting-type Elite Four member Levi, Psychic-type Elite Four member Cattleya, Dark-type Elite Four member Cyndaquil, and Ghost-type Elite Four member Wyvern.

The Kalos Pokémon League consists of five members: Champion Diantha, Dragon-type Elite Four member Dorasena, Steel-type Elite Four member Goose, Water-type Elite Four member Shimi, and Fire-type Elite Four member Pachira.

Since the Alola Pokémon League currently has no champion, it has only sent some island kings to compete in the Ultra Ball level. Once they win the competition, they can naturally advance to the Ultra Ball level!

The Pokémon League consists of five members: Champion Yaji, Dragon-type Elite Four member Hachisaku, Flying-type Elite Four member Aoki, Steel-type Elite Four member Poppy, and Ground-type Elite Four member Sinri.

In total, thirty-eight people directly entered the advanced ball game!

……

Chapter 155 The World Takes notice, Zhang Feng enters Silver Mountain!

The world went wild after the list of direct qualification winners was released!

A world-class Pokémon Masters battle spanning various regions is about to begin!

Over the next month, a Super Ball-level competition will be held, with participants including Gym Leaders from various Pokémon Leagues and Trainers of Elite level or higher!

The sheer number of names on this list alone is estimated to be in the hundreds!

Because, whether it's the top eight or even the top sixteen in each Pokémon League tournament, they all basically have the strength of a near-Champion level!

If all of these people participate, they can basically join the Superball level competition!

Since there are 38 players in the Advanced Ball category and 64 players are selected for a regular competition, 26 players can advance from the Super Ball category to the Advanced Ball category!

At the same time, all eight major gym leaders from various regions participated in the competition, totaling fifty-six people. Adding in some gyms that did not appear in the original work, the total number of gym leaders was about one hundred!

With the addition of renowned trainers from various regions, and after waiting for half a month to register, the total number of participants in the Ultra Ball level battles reached 1,024!

This group of people are all at least at the Quasi-Heavenly King level!

Among them are quite a few Champion-level powerhouses, such as Ash, Gary, Ye Yue, Tetsuya, and Shinji, who are capable of competing for the tournament championship!

This group of people will compete in rounds of matches in a three-on-three format, and ultimately 26 people will be selected to advance to the advanced ball level!

After the advanced ball level is selected, the next eight players in the super ball level will automatically advance to the advanced ball level. The first place in each level can challenge the players in the next higher level. After winning, the level can be changed!

For example, after the first competition, the eight masters were successfully selected, leaving only fifty-six players at the advanced level!
