"Great!"
As the plane was about to land, Nemo couldn't help but let out an excited shout, immediately attracting the attention of the surrounding passengers.
Exclamations erupted from all over the cabin at the same time, clearly indicating that she wasn't the only one paying attention to the competition.
The flight attendants quickly got up and tried to dissuade them.
Embarrassed by her blunder, Nemo apologized to the flight attendant who was trying to comfort her, "Sorry! Sorry...hehe."
However, the joy on the faces of Papa and Botan beside him was equally evident; they were both happy for Kashiwagi's victory.
Nemo sat back down and whispered to her two friends, "That was amazing! I can't wait to see him!"
Piper agreed: "We must congratulate you in person!"
"Uh, well... I didn't mean to discourage you. Although I really want to see Kashiwagi right away, I think he must be very busy right now."
Peony said softly.
Just as she expected, as soon as Kashiwagi and Dante stepped out of the players' tunnel, media from all over the world swarmed around them, pleading with them to give a post-match interview.
After receiving the promise, one question after another was posed.
Reporter: "Kashiwagi! How exactly did you train your Pokémon to this level?"
Kashiwagi: "Ninety-nine percent perspiration and one percent talent, plus a one hundred percent bond with Pokémon."
Reporter: "Kashiwagi, did you perform to your full potential in this battle? Uh, I was just saying, I heard you have many legendary Pokémon, like Rayquaza at the start. Why didn't you send them into battle?"
Kashiwagi: "They are my very good friends. Also, I want to entrust such an important matter as the battle against Leon to my most trusted partners."
Reporter: "Dan Di! What are your thoughts on this defeat, your first in thirteen years?"
D'Antoni: "I thoroughly enjoyed this match. From today onwards, I am also a challenger, and I will experience many more battles to become even stronger!"
Reporter: "This is your first time being eliminated in the semifinals. Are you worried about the damage to your reputation? After all, the title of undefeated champion has been with you for many years!"
Dante: "Personally, I think defeat is a good thing for me, as it motivates me to keep going. At the same time, I would like to apologize to all my friends who were hoping for my victory, but please look forward to my next battle!"
"Kashiwagi..."
"Dan Di contestant!"
As regional champions who have gained widespread fame through media coverage, they naturally have to accept all media interviews.
Even though Loz was imprisoned and Leon had taken over as president of the Galar Association, this habit remained unchanged.
of course.
Considering that Kashiwagi still had the finals to attend, he was quickly let off the hook, leaving only Dante to continue to be bombarded by cameras and microphones.
"It was truly like fighting a decisive battle."
Kashiwagi said this to Yamaminori.
The most cowardly student council president in history, Minoru Yama, was in a good mood and replied, "This is nothing! The real show is after the finals! You have to cooperate with me for at least a week!"
Feeling extremely anxious, he had Alakazam hypnotize him in a rest room and slept until the end of the match.
Then, with a broad smile, he received the news of Kashiwagi's victory.
Psychic-type Pokémon are really useful!
Kashiwagi's victory over Dan-te was undoubtedly a shot in the arm for Yama-minoru.
He had already figured out how to launch a world-class marketing campaign for Kashiwagi, and he had to take advantage of the current version's benefits to attract everyone's attention!
Kashiwagi looked at him strangely. "Are you sure I can win the championship?"
"Don't tell me you can't beat that kid." Yamamoto turned his head and stared at his friend with a captivating gaze. "Really? Really?"
Kashiwagi retorted, "He defeated both Wataru and Takeran, and you still think he's weak?"
"Hey!"
Shan Ren quickly pointed at him, "You can eat whatever you want, but you can't say whatever you want. I never said he was weak, I just thought he wasn't as strong as you! You're the one who even defeated the Pill Emperor!"
Even among champions, there are differences in skill level.
It was clear that Dante was far superior to all the other champions in Minoru Yamamoto's eyes, so when he learned that Kashiwagi had won, he felt that everything was in the bag.
As steady as Mount Tai, as steady as an old dog.
At this moment, Yamamoto was even more smug than Kashiwagi, who had won the match. Taking advantage of the fact that no one was around, he made a boastful statement: "If you had debuted a few years earlier, Dan-Emperor probably wouldn't have had a chance! Hehehe! Dan-Emperor?"
"'Goodbye, strongest! You were just a mortal born in an era without me!'"
Minoru Yama started speaking in a deep, resonant voice, and then burst into laughter.
Kashiwagi looked at him with disgust. "Hey bro, did Alakazam's hypnosis mess up your brain?"
The ambitious Minoru Yamamoto of the past wasn't like this; he was quite normal!
"Shut up! How could the shopkeeper know the burden I carry!" Shan Ren's smile vanished, and he gave Bai Mu a sharp punch on the back in annoyance.
The longer the suppression lasts, the more frenzied the release will be.
He had begun to understand Loz and admired this man who had remained steadfast for decades.
Keep in mind that Minoru Yamamoto himself had only been serving as president of the Europa Association for two years.
Kashiwagi remained silent. "Fine, fine, I'll count you as the weightlifting champion."
"What weightlifting champion?"
Minoru Yama didn't understand the joke. He was about to ask more questions when he suddenly paused, then gently patted Kashiwagi's shoulder, "I have something to do, I'll be going now."
"you……"
Kashiwagi wanted to reach out and grab it, but ultimately gave up on interrupting.
He knew perfectly well why Minoru Yama had suddenly left—
At the end of the road in the distance, Sinnoh Champion Cynthia gracefully approaches the two.
"Congratulations, Kashiwagi."
Zhu Lan offered her heartfelt congratulations, "A truly wonderful match! You've given me another pleasant surprise."
Kashiwagi: "...You flatter me."
That sounds a little strange, doesn't it?
Zhu Lan quickly explained the reason, "Aggron, you've gotten stronger again, haven't you? And by more than a little."
"……really."
Cypress suddenly realized.
When battling Cynthia, Aggron had not yet been fed to level 98 and was still at level 90.
As a result, it was pierced several holes in its chest and abdomen by the Mega Garchomp Z.
It certainly wouldn't do that now; even if a Mega Garchomp Z tried to poke it with its claws, it wouldn't have much of an effect.
The rewards for reaching extremely high levels in the animation are quite substantial.
Zhu Lan's gaze lingered on Bai Mu, and she said, "Sometimes I often think, just how much of a genius does someone have to be to do all this..."
"God's favor has been bestowed upon me, and also upon my Pokémon."
Kashiwagi said frankly, "Fate always treats some people differently, and I am just one of them."
Hearing this, Cynthia pursed her lips. "You're right. But I still have to congratulate you on winning the semi-finals. I'll be looking forward to your match against Ash."
I will try my best not to disappoint you.
Bai Mu nodded.
Zhu Lan walked away and quickly disappeared from sight.
The phone flew out of her pocket. "Did she figure something out?"
"What can you see? This is my talent, just like how I'm handsome, tall, and good at fighting."
Kashiwagi's expression remained calm.
Zhu Lan must have figured something out.
The two battles were too short, and Aggron's strength improved too much.
Of course, she probably also considered the possibility that Boscodor had been holding back in the previous matches, so she came over to confirm.
However, Zhu Lan couldn't confirm it, which is why she said some ambiguous things.
Kashiwagi's answer was simple—
He was born with superhuman strength, but there was nothing he could do about it.
The simulator was a gift from the creator god, the old alpaca, and it was no different from his innate talent.
Once it's open, how can you take it back?
In any case, the cypress trees are now blooming openly and confidently.
He just didn't expect that Zhu Lan's suspicions weren't about him using cheats or anything, but rather about his identity.
Zhu Lan felt that Bai Mu didn't look like a human.
He lived an obscure life in a remote and harsh region of the world during his youth, but rose to prominence in a very short period of time after adulthood, overthrowing a corrupt regime in a region and advancing triumphantly all the way.
The key point is that he is so skilled at traveling between parallel worlds, can communicate normally with the legendary three dragons, and is even possessed by Arceus.
Not to mention forming friendships with so many legendary Pokémon that I've never even heard of.
It was Xiao Zhi's existence that made Cynthia think that Kashiwagi might really be one of the people favored by fate, just as he said.
Otherwise, she would definitely try to throw a Poké Ball to test the waters...
Ok.
Legendary Pokémon Kashiwagi, GET☆DAZE!
Rin had no objection to Aggron's increased strength; on the contrary, she was happy to see it happen. She was just curious about Kashiwagi and wanted to continue to explore the secrets hidden within him.
curiosity.
That was one of the main reasons she became an archaeologist.
"Hehehe, it feels like this will be very interesting for a long time." Zhu Lan walked briskly through Gongmen City, and when she came across an ice cream shop, she couldn't resist buying one to try.
But she soon became conflicted about the taste and considered it for half an hour.
The boss had no objection to this.
The presence of Orchid Jasmine as a living advertisement draws long lines of tourists, who wish this Sinnoh champion could stand there all day.
-
evening.
Many of Kashiwagi's relatives and friends rushed to Galar.
Flights to Galar are really hard to come by right now, so many people take a ferry to another city and then take the light rail over.
Kashiwagi greeted everyone as warmly as possible.
Thanks to his concealment skill, even though he had only qualified for the finals and was currently the most popular contender for the championship, the airport remained lively and peaceful, without causing any major disturbances.
Nemo and her group arrived first and gave Kashiwagi a big hug in turn.
"Great! I also want to fight Emperor Dan!"
A certain battle maniac's statement perfectly matched her character. Leon's final performance showed her Red Warmth—he was so excited that he wished he could replace Kashiwagi.
Winning or losing doesn't matter; the key is being able to fight against such an opponent.
what?
Why not replace Emperor Dan?
The reason, of course, is that the opportunity to fight Kashiwagi came too easily, and she wanted to challenge someone more difficult first.
Even in dreams, things happen that you wouldn't normally encounter!
Piper said he recently researched the recipe for a new dish and plans to make it for Kashiwagi and his Pokémon as a celebratory meal after the competition.
Peony complained, "Are you worried that if you make it today, it will upset Kashiwagi and his Pokémon's stomachs?"
"What nonsense are you spouting!"
Pipa's complexion looked unnatural.
He naturally had no intention of betraying his friend, but he couldn't help worrying that he might make a mistake.
Let's just not do it for now.
Piper was unaware that Kashiwagi's stomach was now comparable to that of a lava snail; as long as it wasn't a potent poison that could actually kill an Indian elephant, ordinary things couldn't harm him.
Peony also brought the blessings of the Tianxing team in advance during her visit.
They were also going to the competition to cheer on Kashiwagi, the man who had utterly defeated them and forced them back to school.
It's said they'll be arriving on Ordiga's private jet.
As for why the three of them didn't travel together, but instead took a regular flight...
Without a doubt, Nemo simply couldn't hold back any longer.
After settling the three of them in, Kashiwagi then welcomed the three generations of the Ryuga Dojo, and surprisingly, Michael also came over.
"I sacrificed my vacation, so you have to live up to expectations, Kashiwagi!" Mikuri patted his shoulder lightly and raised an eyebrow, saying, "I've already checked Ash's quality for you beforehand!"
He and Ash once had a street battle, and the latter was the one who ultimately won.
This shows just how powerful Ash is in the Journey version.
Kashiwagi said, "Daigo should be back soon, right? You can have a good discussion about who should take the Hoenn champion's spot next year."
"...You little brat."
Mikoli laughed.
However, as he said, the champions who had temporarily left due to trivial matters will be back soon.
Prepare for the final battle of the eight masters.
Rukia stood behind Adam and gave Kashiwagi a bright smile.
When Mikoley and Adam were around, she was never quite as unrestrained, but she couldn't help but make faces at them in private.
Kashiwagi naturally responded with a look in return.
Then, the senior citizen tour group from Meteor Village officially arrived, and among them was an unexpected figure.
"Xijiana!"
"Why can't I come?" Higana was covered in bandages, and her face was also bandaged. She looked like she had been hit by a bolt of lightning and turned into a mummy.
Seeing Bai Mu looking at her injury, she said nonchalantly, "It's just a little frostbite, nothing serious."
It's really nothing serious.
Contact with a being like Kyurem inevitably leads to injury; she's not Kashiwagi, who has such a strong physique.
"Thanks a lot."
Kashiwagi didn't know what to say.
Higana said, "Just work hard to win the championship and don't disappoint the elders."
Heaven knows if it's because she spends so much time with Kyurem, but her tone is also cold. However, judging from her behavior, it's not hard to see that she is still the warm-hearted Meteorite.
After having Minoru Yama arrange the Meteor Village tour, Kashiwagi welcomed some friends who had come specifically to see him, thus concluding his itinerary for the day of the semi-finals.
The next day.
The champions who had previously left the competition have returned, including An Xin'er, who left with Karuni.
An Xin'er missed Bai Mu very much, and hugged him for a long time as soon as they met, which surprised Liu Qiya who was with her.
When did you meet such a cute little sister?
“A while ago, An Xin’er called me ‘sister’.” Bai Mu stroked An Xin’er’s smooth hair.
An Xin'er looked at Liu Qiya and said in a soft voice, "Hello, Grand Contest Master Liu Qiya, my name is An Xin'er."
"What did you call me?"
Rukia was delighted.
