Elf: My three starters are the three gods of Hoenn

Steven only has one red-quality Pokémon, while Zhang Feng already has three!

It is evident that for Pokémon with high potential, a second evolution combined with a potential evolution stone can allow them to reach the level of red potential!

"Ding-dong, Metagross's current stats are as follows:"

Elf: Metagross

Rating: 47

Feature: Immortal body

Attributes: Steel, Psychic

Qualification: Red

Bond Evolution: Not yet unlocked

Super Evolution: Not yet unlocked

Skills: Mind Hammer, Telekinesis, Metal Claw, Cannon Beam, Bullet Punch, Arm Hammer, Big Bang...

Intimacy: 242

Background: Met in Dewford Town; an outstanding member of the Metagross family, an ace Metagross who aspires to surpass Steven.

Hobbies: Fighting, eating ore

After evolving, Metagross's strength increased again, reaching level 47, making it one of Zhang Feng's six strongest main forces besides Rayquaza!

Furthermore, in terms of potential, Metagross is far ahead!

Seeing this, Shinji couldn't help but grit his teeth, seemingly not quite understanding why the guy he was facing was so strong!

Zhang Feng?

Isn't he a rookie trainer who hasn't been around for long?

Has Shinji really fallen so low that he can't even defeat novice trainers?

So, Nidoking was recalled, and Shinji said with a gloomy face!

"Useless things!"

Seeing Shinji's behavior, all the trainers present couldn't help but show some displeasure, especially Masamune, whose personality is very similar to Ash's, who was so angry that he wanted to go up and beat Shinji up!

After saying that, Shinji took out another Poké Ball, and with a red light, Shinji's main Pokémon, his ace starter Pokémon, Torterra, made its appearance!

"Ding-dong, the current attribute values ​​of the Earth-Based Turtle are as follows:"

Pokémon: Torterra

Rating: 50

Features: Lush

Type: Grass, Ground

Qualification: Gold

Bond Evolution: Not yet unlocked

Super Evolution: Not yet unlocked

Skills: Wood Hammer, Shrink Shell, Rapid Leaf, Giga Drain, Leaf Storm, Earthquake...

With his golden aptitude and level 50, Shinji's strength has undoubtedly reached the level of a near-Ultraman!

To reach such a level at such a young age shows that Shinji is truly something special, but it seems he's still far from being good enough for Zhang Feng!

"Metamorphoses, keep fighting! Use Ice Punch!"

Torterra, being a Grass/Ground type, is four times weak to Ice. Therefore, when Metagross used this move, Shinji immediately responded!

"Earth Turtle, unleash Earthquake!"

However, Metagross floats on the ground and does not directly touch the ground, so it's a bit of a stretch to think that you can hit Metagross with Ground-type moves!

After dodging the earthquake attack, Metagross's limbs immediately revealed a strong ice-type energy!

Four consecutive Frost Punches rained down on the Earth-Based Turtle's head!

The enormous impact slammed the earth turtle directly into the ground!

Seeing such a violent Metagross, everyone couldn't help but gasp, even Professor Oak couldn't help but exclaim!

"A Metagross that can use its four limbs and arms simultaneously is truly rare!"

"Ding-dong! Metagross has defeated Torterra, gaining 675 experience points and leveling up to level 48!"

After easily defeating Shinji's ace, this boy, who was already defeated by the Age of Gods, completely lost his drive!

Shinji recalled Torterra without saying a word, then took out the last Poké Ball!

Iron Palm Warrior!

Metagross took him down with just two Psychic attacks!

Thus, Zhang Feng easily defeated Shinji in a three-on-one battle!

Ash was delighted to see this. Although he had a better understanding of Zhang Feng's strength, Ash's fighting spirit was also surging even more!

Most importantly, Shinji lost!

"Pikachu, Zhang Feng is really strong! We absolutely, positively, must defeat him at the Rainbow Tournament!"

Ash was met with Pikachu's voice, brimming with fighting spirit!

The battle ended, and the second match of the second round concluded with Zhang Feng easily advancing!

As for Shinji, after giving Zhang Feng a deep look, he immediately turned and left without saying a word. It's unknown what new feelings this battle will bring him.

By the third match, Brock, who had almost exclusively Ground and Rock types, was no match for Tetsuya!

Under the attack of his powerful lizard king, Xiao Gang was almost completely defeated!

Thus, the third contestant to advance was Tetsuya from the Hoenn region!

With this, including Gary who got a bye, the Hoenn region now has three spots in the top four, all earned through sheer strength!

Upon seeing this list, the group of PhDs couldn't help but laugh!

"It seems that the strength of the Hoenn region has indeed improved significantly in recent years. There are many strong trainers among the younger generation. I think these three all have the potential to become Elite Three!"

"Yeah, not to mention that the Hoenn region has two champions, Steven and Wallace. Tsk tsk tsk, the Hoenn region is indeed much stronger than us!"

Hearing what the professors said, the people of the Hoenn region were naturally proud, and Professor Birch's smile never stopped from beginning to end!

These people all got their starter Pokémon from him!

Zhang Feng, in particular, caught up with other trainers who had been traveling for many years in less than half a year, which shows his ability!

With the four finalists determined, the semifinals will then begin!

……

Chapter 62 Zhang Feng vs. Tetsuya, All-out Battle!

The match schedule for the third round is as follows!

Fangyuan Tetsuya vs Fangyuan Zhang Feng!

Kanto Shigeru vs. Yoru Hōen!

After this round, the two finalists will be selected and will receive a gift from the professors!

Even if you lose, you can choose one of the starter Pokémon from the professors in each region!

This is the special treatment given to the top four!

Upon learning that his opponent was Tetsuya, Zhang Feng couldn't help but turn his attention to Tetsuya!

This guy, like me, started with Treecko, and now he's successfully evolved into Sceptile!

Not to mention, Tetsuya has a Meowth that can defeat Ash's Pikachu, and it's quite powerful, making it a formidable opponent!

As for Ye Yue and Xiao Mao, although Xiao Mao's ranking in the Pokémon League competition is not as high as Ye Yue's, it is hard to say who will win if their strength is determined!

Zhang Feng leans more towards Gary. As Professor Oak's grandson, he should be stronger, after all, he is Ash's lifelong rival!

After resting for another day, Zhang Feng was already struggling with the question of what kind of starting three Pokémon he could obtain.

Judging from the rewards for the professors, the top four will receive one starter Pokémon, while those who enter the semifinals will receive two!

The winner gets three!

So, will he choose the original starter Pokémon Charmander, Bulbasaur, and Squirtle, or Torchic, Mudkip, Turtwig, and Totodile, or perhaps Snivy from the Unova region?

"Ah! This is so difficult, I want them both!"

The next day, when the competition resumed, Zhang Feng and Zheye arrived at the battlefield first!

Since this is a civil war in the Hoenn region, Professor Birch is serving as the referee today!

"Next up is a six-on-six battle between Zhang Feng and Tetsuya. The winner will advance to the finals and have the chance to choose two starter Pokémon from the Doctors of various regions!"

"Of course, even if we fail, we'll still have one of the three starter Pokémon as a backup. Now, let the battle begin!"

As soon as Professor Birch finished speaking, Zhang Feng and Tetsuya exchanged a glance, and a Poké Ball appeared in their hands at the same time!

The next moment, the cunning tengu and Zhang Feng's ice sprite appeared!

Upon seeing the Ice Sprite in Zhang Feng's hand, Professor Yamanashi couldn't help but marvel!

"Zhang Feng even owns Glaceon, the exclusive evolved form of the Sinnoh region. This boy is truly amazing!"

……

"Looks like I have the advantage in terms of attributes. Ice Spirit, use Freeze Beam!"

"Attributes don't mean anything, you cunning tengu, use Brick Break!"

After the two gave the order at the same time, Zhang Feng's Ice Sprite immediately unleashed a powerful ice pillar, which the cunning Tengu easily dodged!

Seeing this, the Ice Sprite immediately changed direction and unleashed its Freeze Ray on the path of the cunning Tengu!

With the ground frozen over, friction was reduced, and the cunning Tengu's speed became the culprit in this match!

With a splash, the cunning tengu slipped and fell on the ice, and the skill he had gathered naturally dissipated!

Taking advantage of this opportunity, the Ice Sprite also unleashed its Freeze Ray, instantly freezing the cunning Tengu!

"Take him down! Use Iron Tail!"

After receiving Zhang Feng's order, the Ice Sprite quickly rushed towards the Cunning Tengu!

As the sound of ice cracking rang out, the cunning tengu was also knocked away by the ice sprite's iron tail. Then, another icy gust of wind struck, and the cunning tengu was completely defeated!

"Ding-dong! The Ice Sprite has defeated the Cunning Tengu, gaining 437 experience points and leveling up to level 40!"

Despite losing the first match, Tetsuya was not discouraged. Instead, he recalled the cunning tengu and said to Zhang Feng!

"Zhang Feng, you're really strong! It seems this year's Rainbow Ghost Tournament is going to be really interesting. Please, meow meow!"

After the Poké Ball flashed red, a Meowth wearing boots and a hat appeared!

Seeing the other party's unusual attire, Zhang Feng also checked Miao Miao's attribute panel!

"Ding-dong, Meow Meow's current attribute values ​​are as follows:"

Sprite: Meow (Special)

Rating: 52

Characteristics: Technical expert

Attributes: General

Qualification: Gold

Bond Evolution: Not yet unlocked

Super Evolution: Not yet unlocked

Skills: Treasure Gathering Technique, Bite, Malicious Pursuit, Wild Scratching, Piercing Sound, Cleave, 100,000 Volts...

A level 52 Meowth with a gold aptitude and a special title is undoubtedly one of Tetsuya's trump cards. As the champion of this year's Hoenn League Rainbow Tournament, it's not surprising that he has such a Pokémon!
