NABC Chapter 1397 Arrival at Miyajima?
Chapter 1397 Arrival at Miyajima?
Chapter 1397 Arrival at Miyajima... Island?
Similar scenarios are playing out in different regions at the same time.
Johto, Hoenn, Sinnoh, Unova, Kalos...
Without exception, all the champions received blessings from their partners, including Alola Champion Ash.
His friends and acquaintances called and video-called to offer their sincerest blessings.
Xiao Zhi was so busy that he barely had time to eat.
It can only be said that the network of connections accumulated from traveling to eight regions is too extensive for ordinary people to even dream of.
In contrast, most other champions are surrounded by the Elite Four. After all, unlike Ash and Galar, the connection between Gym Leaders and Champions in ordinary leagues is not as close.
Take Brock and Misty, for example. Both of them are gym leaders in the Kanto region, but when they meet Lance in the original series, they have to introduce themselves.
Of course, this is also because there are too many dojos in ordinary areas.
Which region in the anime doesn't have a dozen or twenty dojos?
There's not much interaction between ordinary gym leaders and regional champions; gym leader assessments are conducted by gym assessors dispatched by the league's inspection bureau, and they rarely see each other.
Except for the Carlos region.
It has a rather special facility called the Battle Fortress. In ancient times, it existed as a knightly dueling arena, but now it has become a special Pokémon battleground for the upper class, and the victorious trainers are awarded titles.
The regional champions, Elite Four members, and Gym Leaders of Kalos will all participate, and they are generally at the highest level.
In short, as the Masters Tournament draws ever closer, all circles related to the champions are buzzing with excitement.
Kashiwagi, however, stayed quietly at Platinum Silver Mountain and Orei Academy.
"Are you really planning to stay until after the Eight Masters' event? If so, you might not be able to leave for at least a week." He looked at Sheng Cai and the others.
Originally, Shengcai and the others only planned to stay for a few days before going back, but unexpectedly, Dailu met her brother, and Shengcai and Pilu each made new friends, so they were all reluctant to leave so soon.
What? What about Tani?
She should still be working overtime at the company, and the group left a note before they left.
Wow.
It's kind of pitiful to think about.
Not only did her teammates all go out to have fun without taking her along, but they also got so engrossed in the fun that they weren't planning to go back anytime soon.
The thought of Tani returning home joyfully only to be greeted by an empty house cannot help but evoke pity in one's heart.
If Shengcai and the others aren't going back, then An Xin'er is even less likely to go back.
She's been in this parallel world for so many days and hasn't even met her Aunt Karuni yet. Shouldn't she at least meet her?
So far, An Xin'er has only had a video call with Karuni and declined the invitation to take her to Carlos.
Bai Mu had already made preparations for the handover, but who would have thought that An Xin'er would refuse!
According to her own account, she knew that both of them were preparing for important matches, and she felt bad about bothering one more person.
—Seriously, if An Xin'er hadn't discovered the promotional photos of Master Ba while browsing Pokémon, she would never have known that Kashiwagi would have a championship-level battle in a few days!
And it's a crucial battle that will determine who is the strongest in the world!
An Xin'er almost thought that her arrival would prevent Bai Mu from preparing for the competition, and she was nearly heartbroken.
Why do I say it was "almost dangerous"?
When she went out to look for someone and ask for clarification, she discovered that her dear Uncle Kashiwagi was standing on top of the strangely colored Sky Thrilling Seat, freely roaming the sky, occasionally letting out a hearty "whoosh".
An Xin'er was dumbfounded, fully realizing her own wishful thinking, and went back to watch more videos with a blush on her face.
When Kashiwagi returned riding his dragon, he noticed that An Xin'er's expression was a bit off. After asking her carefully, he said with a wry smile, "Well, at my level, giving Pokémon plenty of rest time is better than continuous training."
In the past few years, he has been training everyone a bit too intensely.
While it may seem like enough rest time has been given, it is actually far from sufficient. Even with additional methods such as Pokémon massage, it is not enough to completely eliminate the accumulated fatigue.
That's why he now trains three times a week, giving these level 90 monsters ample rest time.
I believe that this will help everyone live longer and be able to spend more time with him.
Recently, after doing so many inhuman things, Kashiwagi suddenly realized that he might live a very long time.
Look at AZ, who absorbed the power of the ultimate weapon and can live for thousands of years; theoretically, he might even have eternal life. This "human" who obtained the full power of the stone tablets and was personally resurrected by the Alpaca, living for several hundred years shouldn't be a problem, right?
Is everything alright?
If there's a problem, he'll have to find the Celestial Flute and summon Lord Alpaca to get some answers.
"Just wait and see my performance."
Bai Mu gently patted An Xin'er's head and spoke softly.
……
The day before the opening ceremony of the Eight Masters.
Many champions arrived one after another, arranged by the event organizers.
Fans from all over the world packed the airport terminal, cheering and shouting encouragement as they rushed to welcome their idols.
Lance, Cynthia, Karene, and Goku take turns appearing, accompanied by logistics and security teams specially arranged by each regional alliance.
The muscular bodyguards and fighting Pokémon formed a human wall, firmly keeping the throngs of fans out, allowing the champions to wave to their fans with confidence and ease.
Alice arrived as well, dressed in a champion's outfit that made her look like a celestial being, and enthusiastically waved and blew kisses to her fans.
Love you all~
His reckless behavior drew countless screams.
However, apart from Leon, who had already arrived in Miyako City, and Ash, who had virtually no fans, there was clearly another highly popular champion who had not yet appeared. As time passed, many fans who had been waiting there were quite disappointed.
They kept refreshing Kashiwagi's blog, trying to find out when he would get off the plane.
Unfortunately, there's still no news of him boarding the plane. The latest post was from yesterday, a picture of a clear blue sky with a caption—
"Miyamon City! Here I come!"
They should have arrived by now.
While Ore is indeed far from Galar, surely it shouldn't take a whole day to fly there?
The fans waited anxiously until the Ole delegation appeared.
When they instinctively screamed, they couldn't see Kashiwagi in the crowd, which puzzled many people.
"Where is the champion?"
"Where is the champion, Kashiwagi!"
We want to see the champion!
The fans shouted, and the response was that the champion was still on his way. A handsome young man told them that Kashiwagi did not take a plane, but came to Miyamon City in his own unique way.
A unique approach? What approach?
Some astute individuals realized that Kashiwagi might have arrived riding a Pokémon—
Because Leon has done this kind of thing a lot; he doesn't like taking airplanes or subways, but prefers riding Pokémon all over Galar.
With the official response, the understanding fans were disappointed, but they also left one after another.
When Kita Ayane, the president of the Maw Kids fan club, learned the news inside the hotel, she thought to herself that Kashiwagi hadn't lied to her after all.
She is one of the few people who can directly contact the person in question.
Knowing early on that Kashiwagi wouldn't be coming to the airport, she simply didn't arrange for anyone from her fan club to pick him up.
Otherwise, the airport will definitely become even more congested!
Ever since Loz surrendered, the title of "King of Online Marketing" has shifted from Dan to Kashiwagi.
His success allowed him to accumulate the fan base that other champions had taken years to build in just one year, which is quite remarkable.
at the same time.
Friends and family from all over the Ore region of Kashiwagi are also ready to watch the game on time.
For example, the three generations of the Glass Dojo, including Michael during his vacation; the elders of Meteor Village, Aoyagi and other elderly people; and Team Marine and Team Magma, two organizations that love and hate each other.
For example, Tetsuya and his sister; the Furuya family who sent the gods to Mount Kami; the four members of the Aether Foundation—the real Lillie chose to watch the competition with her friends at the Pokémon School.
There's also Nemo, Pipa, and Botan from Orange Academy; Danyu, Uriage, and the Elite Four from Blueberry Academy; and N and his two older sisters who help wild Pokémon in some corner of the world.
Needless to say, Xiaoyao, Xiaoguang, and others are not only paying attention to Kashiwagi, but also to Satoshi, even though they have related matches tomorrow.
Even some people who had a history with Kashiwagi, such as the two brothers from the North Orange Dojo, and Urara, with whom he had interacted during his first Grand Contest...
Everyone who knows him pays attention to Master Ba, whether actively or passively.
We await the birth of the world's strongest champion!
The night was as dark as ink.
The lights of Gongmen City illuminated the night sky, bathing the entire city in a warm and vibrant ocean.
On the eve of the opening of the Masters Tournament, this city, which carries the dreams of countless Pokémon trainers, was filled with grand celebrations.
The air was filled with laughter, the scent of fruit, and the aroma of Pokémon, revealing the unique enthusiasm of the Galar region.
The city's main streets were adorned with colorful flags and posters for the Eight Masters Tournament, and light boards bearing the images of top players such as Dante and Daigo lined the streets, their flashing lights seemingly telling the story of their legendary careers.
Shops on both sides of the street had their doors wide open, displaying all sorts of Pokémon support items, from badges with Gigantamax Pokémon designs to miniature models replicating tournament arenas. The dazzling array of items attracted passersby to stop and browse.
Occasionally, a passing Pokémon would weave through the crowd, and groups of Felhunters would leap under the lights, their fluffy white fur fluttering in the evening breeze.
More Pokémon walk alongside their trainers, occasionally letting out clear cries.
Olive walked through the streets.
The dim light shone on her fair and delicate face, revealing a soft hue.
She hadn't had such a leisurely stroll in a long time; her high heels clicked softly against the bluestone bricks.
As agreed, Minoru Yama took on part of her work, allowing her to be free for a short period of time.
On a whim, Olive decided to go outside and take a look. The World Championships and the Eight Masters were the culmination of Lotz's efforts, and she wanted to witness them properly before resigning.
She walked slowly down the street, passing by a tap dance performance by ice skating mascots, and a duet of instruments played by a musician using an organ and a speaker. Listening to bursts of laughter and seeing tourists enjoying Galar's local delicacies and refreshing drinks, she felt a deep sense of peace.
"call……"
Olive exhaled a breath of cold air, and as she gazed at the night sky, a firework just happened to bloom.
The dazzling light reflected in her eyes, telling of her longing.
……
Armor Island.
The Isle of Armor is bustling tonight.
A guest arrived at the martial arts school after a long absence, and he wasn't alone.
"Soaring Void!"
"Is that Rayquaza? Why is the color different?"
"Idiot! It's different because it's a different color!"
The martial arts students hid behind the rocks, cautiously gazing at the enormous black dragon coiled up in the distance.
Clara and Saiboli appear one after the other. They are currently the second-ranked gym leaders in Galar. If they work hard, they could become first-ranked gym leaders someday.
Clara reacted calmly to Kashiwagi's arrival, while Saiboli started biting her nails.
"This guy... is getting stronger and stronger! He can even handle legendary Pokémon like Rayquaza..."
Beside the black dragon, Kashiwagi was talking with martial arts master Ma Shide.
"Thank you for taking me in."
He smiled gratefully.
Ma Shide stroked his long, white beard and laughed, "What are you talking about? Am I that stingy? This is a friend coming from afar!"
The speed of the different colored Rayquaza is not slow. After Kashiwagi rejected Anxin'er's suggestion to use the light wheel and told them to take the plane, he personally piloted the Rayquaza and arrived in Galar from Orei in less than ten hours.
It's fast, but that brings with it a very serious problem—
Where does the strangely colored, fiercely piercing sky stop?
Even though there's no need to worry about someone riding it away, such a big Pokémon can't just be left lying around.
This guy has no sense of time. If you let him out to play, he might come back to you a month later.
The best solution would be to subdue him, but he wouldn't go so far as to harm his friends for his own convenience. He's not like the Rai-Crowned King, who would willingly become his power to repay a debt of gratitude.
After much deliberation, Kashiwagi decided to spend the night on Armor Island.
There aren't many people here, making it a perfect temporary stop.
Kashiwagi also told Yama Minoru about it, and Yama Minoru said it was totally OK and he was really looking forward to him making a big splash.
After all, I put in the effort!
If it's done too conventionally, Minoru Yama will regret it to death!
Completely unaware of his friend's sacrifices, Kashiwagi silently apologizes to Dante, who is about to have his spotlight stolen.
But who told him to score so high?
If the Dan Emperor's score were any lower, allowing him to become the top-ranked player, he wouldn't have ended up second to last.
Kashiwagi gently patted the tip of the nose of the strangely colored Retsuku, "I'll leave it to you tomorrow."
"Roar……"
The ticklish sensation made Black Dragon sneeze.
A gust of wind blew by, but Bai Mu was not nearly blown away like before; he was no longer the naive man he once was.
Why didn't Master Ma go to watch the game live?
He chatted with Mastedt.
Ma Shide said, "It's the same no matter where you look at it. I don't think there's much difference between watching it on a screen."
Kashiwagi laughed and said, "Really? You might regret it."
"Hahaha, impossible, I haven't regretted anything in years." Ma Shide laughed heartily. "If little Bai Bai can do it, I can give you a gift."
Kashiwagi felt helpless about the nickname that Ma Shide had given him without his consent, "Little Kashiwagi..."
"If you don't like that, Xiao Mumu is fine too."
"...Please feel free to do as you please."
He was exhausted.
