Pokémon: The Zen Trainer

A deafening explosion!

Everyone felt as if thunder had appeared right in front of them!

Everyone watching felt a tingling sensation.

The fierce thunder illuminated the entire square in a stark white light.

Those around involuntarily closed their eyes.

During the battle, a violent lightning bolt darted wildly between the two spirits.

"boom!!"

Another loud bang, and the thunderstorm caused by the convergence of lightning sent the two elves flying.

The tingling sensation in the surrounding people gradually disappeared.

After their first encounter, the two elves separated again.

"Duoduo!!"

Warm-up complete!

Marshadow looked at Lucario, and the black aura around him began to slowly rise. As the black aura continued to rise, Marshadow's eyes became increasingly red.

Like a burning flame, a green hue slowly spread downwards from the top of Marshall's head.

Oh? Interesting. Cynthia is watching Marshadow's transformation. He can actually change form during battle? That book doesn't record anything like that.

"Then Lucario!!!"

“LUCA!!!”

"boom!!"

A blast of air emanated from Lucario and spread in all directions.

A series of inexplicable fluctuations emanated from Lucario.

If what happened just now was a test, Lucario is now in true battle mode.

Waveguide fully activated! Its eyes were fixed firmly on Marcia.

The two elves gazed at each other slowly.

Marshado's body seemed to be burning, and the smoke on his body turned emerald green.

Meanwhile, Lucario's body emitted visible waves, which were Lucario's aura, flowing outwards from Lucario like a pebble thrown into a lake.

Aura that can be directly sensed even by those without Aura power! This is the Champion's Pokémon!! Aura power surges outwards like a tidal wave!!

As these waveguides surged past Marcia, they seemed to be on fire, flowing toward the side.

“Duoduo!”

Marshall's eyes grew increasingly red! Smoke began to swirl rapidly around his body!

Like the calm before the storm.

The atmosphere between the two elves was tense, as if they were about to clash.

The surrounding crowd silently retreated dozens of steps, with the timid ones finding cover.

Just kidding, I didn't know Marshall's strength when I was watching the show.

I thought this was a coaching match for the champions, but it turned out like this?

The two elves in the front were surprisingly evenly matched at first glance?

This made the surrounding spectators feel threatened.

Moreover, in such an unobstructed square, instead of watching this level of combat in a professional venue, without protective measures, a single accidental injury could cost more than several lives.

But seeing such a battle up close was truly spectacular!!

As Cynthia watched and pondered, she changed her mind. Initially, she had only planned to give it a try, but now she was going to go all out.

As Bian Xiang looked at Cynthia, the pressure emanating from Lucario made him involuntarily excited. This was the champion!

"Mashad!"

"Lucario!!"

Just as the two elves were about to begin their second battle.

An aged voice interrupted the battle.

"Enough! Do you two want to tear the square down?"

An elderly woman with white hair walked into the middle of the square. The most eye-catching thing was the bell hair ornament on her head, which made a rhythmic sound with her steps.

She stood in the middle of the square and first glared fiercely at Cynthia.

Cynthia raised her hands, giving the impression that she had gotten into trouble and been caught by her parents.

Huh? Who is this old woman? How could she make the Sinnoh champion show such an expression?

He looked at the old woman with a curious gaze.

They met the old woman's gaze.

The old woman looked on, her expression quite complex.

Surprise, doubt, and amusement—these are the messages conveyed in those gazes.

Bian Xiangchao captured everything. She seems to know me very well?

Seeing Dr. Jie Zilan's gaze, Bian Xiang couldn't help but feel a sense of unease.

Where have we seen this before? I started to think and recall.

I racked my brains but still couldn't figure out the connection between myself and Sinnoh.

This is my first time in Sinnoh.

.....

"Come back, Lucario."

Cynthia recalled Lucario into its Poké Ball.

Then I looked at it and thought about it.

"Young man, your fighting was quite good. I have nothing more to teach you."

"My only advice to you is to go fight!!"

"Go and win! Win every battle!"

Cynthia looked at Bian and said.

"And I look forward to a real showdown with you!"

"This battle has come to an end, though it's a pity."

Like Wataru, the two champions gave Bian Xiang surprisingly consistent advice: fight.

"Come out, Garchomp."

"Roar!!"

Garchomp appeared in the plaza.

The aura emanating from this Garchomp far surpasses that of Lucario when its waveguide is fully activated.

This is Cynthia's ace Pokémon!!

I hadn't had a chance to observe the Garchomp closely yet.

Cynthia immediately mounted Garchomp and flew away with a roar, as if she had done something wrong and wanted to escape quickly.

"this....."

Bian Xiang scratched his head, wondering who this old woman was. Was she really that fierce? She could scare away the champion.

Dr. Jie Zilan looked at the messy square and shook his head helplessly. The floorboards had cracked completely from just one impact of a lightning punch.

He walked towards the side.

"My granddaughter has caused you trouble, you've come from afar."

Granddaughter? Is this old woman Cynthia's grandmother?

At this moment, Ryozo Otsubo also came over.

"Let me formally introduce you. This is Dr. Jie Zilan, the director of the Sinnoh History Institute."

"He is an authority on Sinnoh history."

"I currently work under her."

When Ryozo Otsubo introduced Dr. Jie Zilan, he was very respectful, which shows that Dr. Jie Zilan held a high position in Ryozo Otsubo's mind.

"Hello, Dr. Jie Zilan, my name is Bian Xiang, and I come from Jiegeng City, Chengdu."

“This is my spirit, Marshadow, Fire Monkey.”
