People in the Elf: God rewards hard work and I become stronger at the speed of light Chapter 227

“The winner takes all?”

This statement lit up a spark in Shinji’s eyes, but then, as if remembering something, he curled his lip and retorted disdainfully, “So, you also want to taste defeat before apologizing and begging for mercy?”

Shinji had reason to be disdainful.

Because of the three champion-parent Pokémon Eggs, especially since one of them was provided by Cynthia from their Sinnoh region.

The two brothers, attracted by this, had already traveled in the Kanto region for some time.

To be honest.

Originally, for the regions where the Pokémon League Headquarters were located, the two brothers naturally dared not be careless and had made thorough preparations… They brought their strongest Pokémon, conducted information surveys, and even specially trained for a period of time.

Then.

The first place they challenged was Cerulean City…

The result was predictable!

And after that, the two brothers who went to challenge the Viridian City Gym were met with a closed door.

Then, they challenged several Gyms along the way but couldn’t find the Gym Leader; either they were out patrolling the city or teaching at a university. Even more ridiculously, some were sick with children and had no time…

After these few Gym battles, they basically obtained all the badges.

But it brought a huge sense of disappointment to the two brothers, who had originally treated them as formidable enemies… Because, there wasn’t a single one who could fight!

However…

“Shinji, don’t be blindly arrogant!”

Reggie, who had been constantly observing Beldum and the mark left by Beldum defeating Chimchar, suddenly looked up and reprimanded.

Unlike his younger brother Shinji, who only started his journey this year and had been traveling with him for only a few months.

Reggie, as an elite trainer who had debuted six years ago, participated in the Lily of the Valley Conference in Sinnoh, the Ever Grande Conference in Hoenn, and the Silver Conference in Johto, possessing over 24 Gym badges. Although he had never won a regional championship, he had successfully reached the top 16 in all three regional conferences.

Especially in last year’s Ever Grande Conference in the Hoenn region, he even successfully entered the grand finals.

In the final battle of the 6v 6 full team battle.

Due to bad luck, he triggered a burn first, thus narrowly losing to his opponent.

He was just a hair’s breadth away from becoming the champion of that year’s Ever Grande Conference in Hoenn.

For someone like him, who possessed countless practical combat experiences and could be called an excellent elite trainer,

With careful observation, it was naturally impossible not to notice the astonishing coordination and control ability that Beldum displayed when defeating Chimchar!

To be able to raise such an excellent Beldum.

Would definitely not be a simple opponent!

Reggie’s gaze towards Bai Ze suddenly became excited… Although he could tell that Koga, the Gym Leader of Fuchsia Gym, was also quite extraordinary.

But for a veteran trainer to possess such strength was not surprising.

An excellent trainer of ‘similar age’ made him even more excited!

Especially in this ‘barren’ land of Kanto, the Gym battles were frustrating enough, and the Bug Catchers and Youngsters they encountered on the road were even more unbearable.

It almost made him wonder if there were any excellent trainers left in this land of Kanto?

Currently still in the rising stage of his life, not yet having suffered a crushing defeat at the hands of Anabel, one of the Battle Frontier Brains, which would shatter his fighting spirit, Reggie was full of drive and ambition.

He was confident enough.

And yearned for battle and victory!

……

……

Bai Ze naturally didn’t know what Reggie was thinking.

But to be honest.

The Kanto region’s basic training for new trainers was indeed not as good as that of other regions.

Whether it was the battle environment and atmosphere, or the various battle club facilities and battle venues.

Relatively speaking, it was indeed much worse than the neighboring regions.

Not to mention comparing it to the Galar region, which is on the other side of the globe, tens of thousands of miles away, and fully implements a battle point system.

Even compared to the emerging Unova region.

In recent years.

The gap has gradually widened…

But alas, the Kanto region’s heritage was too profound; it could be described as a place rich in natural resources and talented people.

Every one or two generations, there would always be a few incredibly talented trainers born!

As a result.

Even if there wasn’t enough emphasis and investment in battle atmosphere and basic education.

It could even be said to be far behind other regions.

But every generation.

Among the strongest individuals who reached the world’s peak, there were always people from the Kanto region!

Older ones, like Professor Oak.

The first champion of the World League Championship, a unique authority in the scientific community, who could be said to have excelled in both battle and research, almost unrivaled in status.

More recently, there was Lance, the Dragon Master, known as invincible.

Among the current and past champion powerhouses, no one dared to say they could definitely win against him!

As for this generation, it was even more filled with prodigies. Bai Ze himself goes without saying; just in their Pallet Town, there were Red and Green, two abnormal individuals who reached the peak of champion status in just one year.

There was also Yellow, the Child of Viridian, who could almost untrained, lead a group of Pokémon like Pikachu, Rattata, and Butterfree, and directly contend with the Kanto Elite Four, and even Legendary Pokémon without falling behind.

Even Ash, who was often depicted as struggling in the TV anime.

Compared to ordinary trainers, he was also a genius among thousands!

Whether he reset his stats or not is irrelevant.

But in terms of winning against stronger opponents and battling against type disadvantages, Ash could barely be considered a master-level on-the-spot battle player!

So, it wasn’t that the Kanto region’s trainers were weak.

It was just that these two brothers hadn’t encountered any true elite players…

However,

Now they had.

And, it was the one they were least likely to defeat!

“My name is Reggie, and this is my younger brother, Shinji. We are from Veilstone City in the Sinnoh region, and we are preparing to participate in this Indigo League Tournament!”

“Your Beldum is exceptionally well-trained…”

Reggie, unaware of what he was about to face, was full of confidence.

He didn’t hesitate to praise.

And directly challenged Bai Ze: “How about it, do you want to have a match with me? If I lose, I can apologize to you on behalf of my brother!”

“Of course!” Bai Ze had no reason to refuse. “However, how about we set the battle rules as a 2v 2 doubles battle?”

“Doubles?”

Reggie was startled at first. He glanced at Janine, who was standing beside Bai Ze, and then seemed to understand, agreeing immediately: “No problem!”

Having agreed to the battle.

Bai Ze then remembered that they were still in the Fuchsia Gym, and quickly looked up at the silent middle-aged ninja standing nearby: “Gym Leader Koga…”

“Let’s use this place as the battle arena!”

Koga’s voice was very steady, showing no signs of emotion: “I will be the referee for this match, and the winner will receive the Fuchsia Badge! How about it?”

Bai Ze raised an eyebrow.

After exchanging glances with Reggie, both nodded slightly, indicating no objections.

Shinji and Janine naturally followed Reggie and Bai Ze’s lead.

“So, the battle rules are a 2v 2 doubles battle. Both sides will send out two Pokémon, with each person limited to one. It’s a one-round decisive match! Until all of one side’s Pokémon are unable to battle, the other side will be declared the winner!”

Koga meticulously repeated the battle rules.

Seeing both sides nod in confirmation.

And after they each took out their Poké Balls in advance.

Swish—

He flashed to the courtyard wall in the center of the battle arena as if using Quick Attack, and then decisively commanded, “Then, let the battle begin!”
