Chapter 129 The Battle Begins
Silent all night.
the next day.
The morning sun shone on the magnificent building of the only gym near the League headquarters—the Giant Mountain Gym.
It was draped in a golden glow.
Gui Hai, dressed in a black trench coat with a ghost face mask hanging on his shoulder, appeared in front of the dojo gate.
The area around the gym was already packed with people, with League staff, prosecutors, trainers from all over the country, and Pokémon enthusiasts crowding around it.
In this world, nothing is more important than a Pokémon battle.
Nothing is more exciting than a high-level Pokémon battle.
Given Long Cang's immense popularity, this match is destined to attract widespread attention from all sides of the alliance.
However, Guihai didn't care about any of that.
Because in this world, only the strong are noticed, and only the strong are admired.
If you remain unknown, it only means you are worthless.
When Gui Hai appeared, the noisy crowd instantly fell silent, as if time itself had stopped, and all eyes were fixed on him like spotlights.
People stared intently at Gui Hai, not wanting to miss a single detail. If this young man successfully defeated Long Cang, he might become the next king or even the champion of the league.
Although it's not yet time for the Alliance Conference and he can't take office directly, at Guihai's age, as long as nothing else goes wrong in the next three years and he continues to grow stronger, becoming the Heavenly King is only a matter of time.
Meeting the gazes of these people.
Gui Hai slowly walked into the dojo. Just like when he entered the alliance headquarters yesterday, no one spoke wherever he went, and his footsteps echoed in the empty hall.
Although the Giant Mountain Dojo was established after the League was founded, it has a history of over 300 years.
The dojo's decor still carries a sense of history, with portraits of trainers hanging on the walls, as if watching over the young challenger.
The Ghost Sea passing through here is like traversing three hundred years since the Alliance was founded.
At the end of the corridor, a portrait of an old man caught Gui Hai's attention.
This is an elderly man who, despite his advanced age, still appears to be in good spirits.
Below the portrait is a biographical introduction to his life.
Janshu, the 16th Pokémon Champion, Pokémon Hero, Pokémon Master...
Looking at the last few words, Gui Hai paused slightly before walking into the noisy battlefield.
There are many people outside, so this place can be described as a sea of people.
Almost all the league staff and their families who had nothing else to do today came here to witness this King of Fighters match.
The moment Guihai appeared, he attracted everyone's attention.
The slightly noisy dojo fell silent for a moment after Oni-kai appeared.
The noise then nearly drowned out the entire venue.
"Is this a Heavenly King level expert? He looks far too young."
"Don't judge a book by its cover. This is a high-ranking prosecutor who has faced legendary Pokémon several times."
"But he looks like he's only a teenager, just turned 18!"
"That's because they're outstanding."
"Mom, let me tell you, this is the Heavenly King. He is extremely powerful. Both Heavenly Kings of the Revival Society were defeated by him."
"Senior, what's with your comment about this Heavenly King being cruel? He looks so..."
"You don't understand. This superstar looks young, but he's ruthless when he takes action. He's killed hundreds of terrorists and poachers. You just didn't see it..."
Various opinions converged, causing the atmosphere in the venue to gradually spiral out of control.
Gui Hai kept his eyes on his opponent, Long Cang, who was waiting in the arena. He was the king of the alliance and the strongest person in the current generation of the Yulong family.
Long Cang stood quietly in the center of the battlefield, like a majestic mountain peak, his deep eyes also fixed on Gui Hai.
Their eyes met.
In that instant, it felt as if an electric current was coursing through the air.
Their eyes burned with fierce fighting spirit.
They noticed their eyes meeting.
The league's top players who came to watch the game all leaned forward slightly.
Tan Si did not act as a referee this time. He and his wife Pu Qin watched the two men, who were full of fighting spirit, in the VIP viewing room and showed a somewhat expectant smile.
"Who do you think will win this time?"
Pu Qin thought for a moment, then pointed at Gui Hai and said, "He gave me a big surprise last time in a one-on-one match. This time he has been preparing for three months, and I don't think he will disappoint me."
Tan Si nodded:
"But as far as I know, this kid's Pokémon team only has three Pokémon of Champion level or above, plus Heatran, making it only four."
This is a six-on-six battle; I don't think Old Dragon will lose to an opponent with only four Elite Four level Pokémon.
"Let's see how he breaks this deadlock."
Yao Ran, the Water Element King, stood beside Tan Si and his wife with his arms crossed, listening to their discussion with a slight frown.
His gaze shifted back and forth between Gui Hai and Long Cang, his expression complex. He was also looking forward to seeing how Gui Hai would break the deadlock.
Although this young man's growth rate is astonishing, Long Cang is not a greenhorn, but a veteran king who has been a king of the alliance for more than ten years.
There are countless Elite-level creatures in the team.
Even including Sealord, Ghost Sea only has four high-level combatants...
Nie Ying, who had acquired Yuya Pokémon, had a slight smile on his face.
His eyes gleamed with excitement. He had fought against Guihai before and knew his strength. Thinking of that amazing Mega Evolution, he seemed eager to see the scene of their Pokémon clashing fiercely.
The Ice-type King Shen Wang remained expressionless, but his sharp, hawk-like gaze never left the battlefield. He was analyzing the state of the two opponents, trying to predict the course of the battle.
The league champion stood high above, his figure exuding an aura of majesty.
He took in the expressions of all the Heavenly Kings and the Ghost Sea and Dragon Cang on the battlefield.
He had been looking forward to today's battle for a long time.
In his view, Guihai's potential was like a treasure buried deep underground, gradually revealing its sharpness, while Long Cang's strength was like a sword that had been tempered countless times, sharp and incomparable.
This battle is like a clash between old and new forces, which will surely spark dazzling flames.
He believes that, regardless of the outcome, this will be a battle of extraordinary significance in the development of the league.
"Please be quiet and do not interfere with this battle."
In the arena, a very burly-looking man walked onto the stage, holding a microphone in his hand, and his voice was transmitted to every corner of the dojo through the microphone.
Let the room quiet down.
"I am the referee for this King of Kings Challenge, Huang Yue, the head of the Giant Mountain Dojo."
"The two sides in the battle are the Alliance Heavenly King Long Cang."
Huang Yue's calm voice introduced Long Cang, which drew cheers from the audience.
"The challenger is Ghost Sea, a trainer from the Otherworld Tower and a senior prosecutor."
Cheers erupted again, though much quieter than those for Long Cang, but still enthusiastic.
Gui Hai looked towards the area where the cheers were loudest and spotted a few familiar faces.
Most of them were people he encountered while traveling.
Guihai nodded his thanks to them.
The cheers from Huang Yue and the others subsided a bit. They walked to the referee's area, confirmed that Gui Hai and Long Cang were ready, and raised their flags.
"The trainer Ghost Sea from the Other Tower challenges the League Elite Four member Dragon Azure in a six-on-six format."
"I now declare the King of Heaven Challenge begins."
Splash!
The red flag was waved down.
Battle begins!
