Elf: My three starters are the three gods of Hoenn

……

Seeing Zhang Feng looking quite relaxed, Cynthia also pouted and said!

"There are less than ten days left until the Hoenn League's Rainbow Tournament. Why do you seem so unconcerned?"

After hearing Cynthia's words, Zhang Feng smiled and looked at the group of Pokémon behind him.

"No, with this lineup, is there any chance of losing to the Pokémon League?"

Upon hearing Zhang Feng's words, Cynthia inexplicably showed a hint of embarrassment!

Indeed, with Rayquaza, Groudon, Kyogre, and Regirock in his hands, even he, Steven, Wallace, and the others are no match for Zhang Feng!

While the Hoenn Pokémon League is full of strong Pokémon, it's unlikely that there's anyone stronger than Zhang Feng.

Furthermore, even without these divine beasts, with Zhang Feng's current Heavenly King-level combat power, once his main spirits are unleashed, few would be his match!

But then again, Cynthia has been out for more than a month this time!

At the same time as the Hoenn League's Celadon Tournament begins, the Sinnoh region's Pokémon League will also be held soon, and she, as the champion, needs to return to oversee the events!

Furthermore, a brand new match between the Four Heavenly Kings and the Champion is about to begin!

Wusong has called more than once, hoping that Cynthia will return to the Sinnoh region as soon as possible!

Perhaps Cynthia won't be able to stay with Zhang Feng until the opening of the Hoenn League!

With this thought in mind, Cynthia felt a growing sense of frustration knowing she wouldn't be able to stay by Zhang Feng's side any longer.

After sensing Cynthia's thoughts, Zhang Feng subtly activated his psychic powers, guiding Cynthia to speak!

"The battles for the Elite Four and the Champion in the Sinnoh region are about to begin, and the Sinnoh Pokémon League Lily of the Valley Conference is also about to open. I'll be returning to the Sinnoh Pokémon League in a while!"

After realizing that she had actually spoken her inner thoughts, Cynthia secretly blamed herself, wondering why she couldn't control herself in front of Zhang Feng.

"Oh? You're going back? What are we going to do? But I don't want you to go back!"

Cynthia: "Hmm?"

When Cynthia heard Zhang Feng's reluctance to see her leave, her pretty face flushed slightly, but she was overjoyed inside!

She undoubtedly had a very high level of affection for Zhang Feng, and now it seemed that Zhang Feng felt the same way about her. So it was worth it for Cynthia to have stayed by Zhang Feng's side all this time!

"Hehe, he can't bear to part with me!"

Upon realizing what Cynthia was thinking, Zhang Feng couldn't help but laugh out loud!

This clueless champion is actually quite adorable. Without my guidance, Cynthia wouldn't have said those words!

Given her indecisive personality, even if she truly liked Zhang Feng, she would never admit it, much less tell him directly!

However, on the surface, Cynthia still acted somewhat arrogantly!

"I can't not go back. I'm the champion of the Sinnoh region. Without me, Gosho and the others can't do what champions do!"

Seeing Cynthia suddenly become arrogant, Zhang Feng had a single thought, and Cynthia felt herself completely out of control, falling directly into Zhang Feng's arms!

Feeling the warmth in her arms, Cynthia's face began to flush!

"you you you……"

"What do you mean, 'you'? Do you like me? Is that why you deliberately told me you were leaving?"

Seeing Zhang Feng turn the tables on her, Cynthia struggled to get up, but couldn't break free from Zhang Feng's embrace!

After a long while, Cynthia also stopped!

Because his thoughts were guided by Zhang Feng's superpowers, he directly expressed his innermost thoughts!

Yes, I like you, but you already...

After receiving this affirmation, Zhang Feng immediately took the plunge!

"Well……"

"If you don't give me a quasi-god, then you'll have to sacrifice yourself!"

……

Chapter 114: If you don't give me a quasi-god, then you might as well throw yourself into it!

Upon hearing Zhang Feng's words, and feeling as if her sensitive spot had been blocked by him, Cynthia completely lost the ability to think!

Speaking of which, Zhang Feng does have an unwritten rule!

When Daigo challenged Zhang Feng's Rayquaza, in order to maintain his composure and prevent Zhang Feng from revealing that he had lost, he gave Zhang Feng an iron dumbbell!

Mikuri was tricked by Daigo into challenging Zhang Feng, and perhaps his defenses were broken, so he gave Zhang Feng a Treasure Dragon, and even said that Zhang Feng could choose any pseudo-legendary!

Yulongdu challenged Zhang Feng and also gave Zhang Feng an excellent Mini Dragon!

Therefore, the three pseudo-legendary characters were obtained from the three champions. Cynthia is the champion of the Sinnoh region, and her ace is Garchomp. Isn't it too much to not give her a Gible?

Both of you are regional champions, so you, Cynthia, should at least leave something for Zhang Feng, right?

We can't be like Genji, who was easily fooled into challenging Zhang Feng and then exposed the fact that Michael and Daigo had lost to Zhang Feng!

So, since there are no quasi-gods, why not just consider yourself a gift?

……

By the time she understood what Zhang Feng was saying, Cynthia was already lying in Zhang Feng's arms, her cheeks still flushed, and she said softly!

"What a bad guy!"

"But I just found out that it wasn't just Daigo and Michael who lost to you, even Lance, the strongest Dragon-type in the Kanto region, lost to you!"

"Thinking about it this way, it doesn't seem so bad that I lost to you!"

Only after realizing this did Cynthia belatedly come to her senses!

"Compared to a pseudo-legendary, I've given you my whole championship, don't you think I've suffered a huge loss?"

For the next few days, Zhang Feng and Cynthia leisurely stayed in the villa, enjoying their rare free time!

Once they get into the mood, they engage in physical combat, and then each drifts off to sleep satisfied!

And just like that, a short but wonderful week passed quickly!

That day, Granny Kikuno called again, and Cynthia said irritably!

"Okay, I'll be back in the Sinnoh region the day after tomorrow!"

Left with no other choice, Cynthia had to part ways with Zhang Feng temporarily. The two agreed to meet again after the match, and Zhang Feng and Cynthia set off together!

One is heading to the Sinnoh region, which requires crossing the ocean, while the other is heading to Lilycove City to prepare for the upcoming Pokémon League Conference!

Fortunately, there are ships from Lilycove City to the Sinnoh region, so Cynthia and Zhang Feng embarked on another journey together!

After storing all their Pokémon in the system space, the two of them set off for Celadon City with various supplies!

The atmosphere was somewhat silent along the way. The couple, who had just enjoyed their time together, naturally did not want to part ways with the person they loved so soon!

However, one of them had to participate in the Pokémon League competition, and the other had to host the Pokémon League competition, so neither of them could get away!

Seeing Cynthia like this, Zhang Feng suddenly felt that becoming the champion might not be such a good thing after all!

No other reason than being too busy!

Perhaps this is why Daigo stepped down as champion—so he could go around collecting stones?

Turning to Lance in the Kanto region, as the Champion and Pokémon Investigator, he is constantly busy infiltrating various evil organizations!

Oh, how pitiful!

……

After arriving in Rainbow City, Zhang Feng watched Cynthia board the ship, and then he was alone again, heading towards the registration area!

After Zhang Feng's basic information was entered into the Pokémon Center in Lilycove City, he was considered a successful participant!

"Ding dong, participant Zhang Feng has been found. He is from Weibai Town, is eighteen years old this year, and has obtained eight badges: Libra, Rock, Boxing, Electric, Blaze, White Feather, Heart, and Water Drop. He has qualified to participate in this year's Hoenn League Souvenir Tournament. Entry complete!"

"Zhang Feng's contestant number is 117!"

Upon hearing this voice, Nurse Joy from Celadon City returned the Pokédex to Zhang Feng and smiled.

"Congratulations, participant! There are still two days until the opening of the competition. You can stay in your room in the competition area for the next two days!"

"The upcoming tournament will begin soon. We kindly request your attendance at the opening ceremony. Your match number will be your in-game number, so please take note!"

After receiving Nurse Joy's words, Zhang Feng smiled and agreed, then went to the deluxe suite at the Pokémon Center to check in!

With only two days left before the start of the competition, Zhang Feng began to think about the lineup for the upcoming matches!

The Hoenn League Rainbow Tournament has over 500 participants!

The initial preliminary rounds were one-on-one matches, with each group selecting four participants to engage in a round-robin one-on-one battle using a points system!

Finally, the player with the highest score advances to the second round of the official competition, which will be played in a three-on-three format!

The six-on-six all-out battles will only begin after the top sixteen have been selected!

Until the very end, the champion will be chosen!

Zhang Feng currently has twenty-three main battle Pokémon: Sceptile, Pidgeot, Milotic, Aggron, Metagross, Infernape, Glaceon, Umbreon, Sylveon, two Gardevoir, Aerodactyl, Shellder, Arcanine, Blaziken, Charizard, Serperior, Feraligatr, Torterra, Absol, Dragonair, Claydol, and Donphan!

There are also three legendary Pokémon—Raycus, Groudon, and Kyogre—and one legendary Pokémon—Regirock, for a total of twenty-seven Pokémon!

If all goes well, they can almost always get a chance to play!

However, if these opponents are not very strong, there is no need to send Rayquaza and the others out to bully the weak!

In terms of current strength, the weakest are Dragonair and the five Blaziken, Charizard, Serperior, Feraligatr, and Torterra, who have just completed their final evolutions not long ago!

So, let them take the stage in the first round of the preliminary selection!

After making up his mind, Zhang Feng slept for one night and then began to wander around Caiyou City!

It has to be said that as expected of a city hosting a major event, the crowds are truly outrageous; the streets are packed with people!

As a result, Zhang Feng lost interest and stayed in his suite, preparing for the next match!

While you should despise your opponent strategically, you absolutely cannot do so tactically!

Just in case, to avoid encountering a monster like Darkor from the Sinnoh Pokémon League, Zhang Feng decided to check the information of the participants!

I didn't realize until I checked, they were all acquaintances!

Aside from Ye Yue, Tetsuya, Masamune, and Ash, Shinji also participated in this Hoenn Pokémon League Rainbow Tournament!

Perhaps it's because they lost in the Scientists' Town earlier, so they're not convinced!

This competition is going to be interesting!

……

Chapter 115 The Hoenn League's Rainbow Tournament Begins!

Two days later, the Hoenn Pokémon League's Rainbow Tournament officially opened, with a total of 512 trainers participating!

Mr. Damaranchi, the president of the Pokémon League, also appeared as a guest and gave a speech during the torch relay, hoping that all the trainers participating in the competition would achieve good results!

That very night, Zhang Feng, along with the other participating trainers, stood before the sacred flame and, in front of tens of thousands of spectators, solemnly challenged the Hoenn Pokémon League's Celadon Tournament!

Looking at those familiar faces, my opponents!

The passionate and enthusiastic Satoshi and Masamune!

Shinji is cold and serious!

Ye Yue and Zheye are passionate and confident!

A smile involuntarily crept onto Zhang Feng's lips as he looked at the other trainers.

The real battle is about to begin!

……

What surprised Zhang Feng was that, perhaps because of his loss in Scientist Town, Shinji had also joined this year's Hoenn League Rainbow Tournament!

It seems that Ash and Shinji, these two formidable rivals, might face off even sooner!

"Next, the tournament will randomly group participants into groups of four for the first round of preliminary rounds!"
