Elf: No, it's because he was made the gym leader!

"Repay twice as much."

Chapter 127 Sinnoh Daily News reports for you.

No, no, I can't laugh yet, I have to hold it in.

Opening champagne at halftime is something only villains do. I'll declare victory in 40 seconds... no, 35 seconds.

Lu Yuan clenched his teeth, trying hard to control his facial muscles, but the corners of his mouth seemed to be out of his control, sometimes slightly upturned, and sometimes quickly falling down.

After repeating this several times, even his cheeks began to twitch involuntarily.

Wasn't he hiding his imposing aura for so long just to wait for this moment?

Seeing that his tactics were about to succeed, Lu Yuan's mood reached its peak.

At this moment, the place was completely silent, and the atmosphere was unusually heavy.

Whether it was the fighters in the audience or Dr. Kukui on the battlefield, everyone's eyes were focused on the Blazing Roaring Tiger, which shone like a black sun in mid-air, and the blue figure that charged forward without fear.

Riolu dared not be careless in the slightest when facing Incineroar, which was tightly enveloped by layers of dense Dark-type energy.

Seeing that he was about to collide with Incineroar, Riolu couldn't help but turn his head to look at the red sash tied to his right arm.

boom--

The black sun, carrying destructive power, crashed into Riolu with overwhelming force.

The moment the two made contact, time seemed to stand still, followed by a tremendous explosion!

The terrifying energy fluctuations crashed against the purple barrier wave after wave, like surging tides.

Each impact caused the barrier to tremble and hum.

The once-stable barrier began to shake violently, but the audience was clearly not worried that it would break.

This is, after all, a defensive barrier comparable to that of a Champion Pokémon. Judging from Incineroar's current strength, it would take at least twice the power to break it.

So instead of worrying about something so far away, it's better to focus more on the Rio Road, which was buried in the explosion.

I heard it's just a newborn baby.

"Look, what's that!" a fighter exclaimed, pointing to the red sash stuck to the purple barrier.

It was a tattered, broken red sash.

"This looks like... an aura sash..."

A fighter replied, squinting.

A powerful aura?!

......

Smoke and dust swirled in the air as the Blazing Roaring Tiger, having unleashed its skill, plummeted downwards at breakneck speed.

The Extreme Leap Crushing Strike had exhausted its strength, and now it couldn't even release a spark.

Fortunately, they eventually managed to defeat one of the opponent's Pokémon.

Just as the Blazing Roaring Tiger was exhausted and about to close its eyes for a short rest, its gaze unconsciously drifted to the blue figure beside it.

Riolu!

No! Why didn't you lie down?

The Blazing Roaring Tiger stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

“Oh dear.”

How could I dare to lie down before you did?

Riolu let out a low growl.

I have to admit, since I was born, you are the only elf who has ever pushed me to this point.

I respect you very much, so...

After speaking, Riolu gathered an extremely terrifying amount of energy in his hands.

Its aura was so powerful that even the Blazing Roaring Tiger trembled.

Brother...no, Dad, stop it, I surrender, okay? I surrender!

This veteran, who had been through many battles, felt fear for the first time.

Sorry, it was too windy, I didn't hear what you said.

Riolu bulged his muscles and threw a punch.

"boom!!!"

At least 20,000 fighters in the audience simultaneously felt the "illusion" that their buttocks seemed to wiggle slightly.

"Hey?! What, what's going on?!"

The Sinnoh TV station next to the stands was giving the cameras a close-up shot of the two Pokémon in the ring.

Then the purple barrier on the arena cracked!

The barrier is cracked? Are you kidding me!

Immediately afterwards, as the cracks continued to widen, the barrier turned into countless energy fragments floating in the air.

The crackling sounds echoed throughout the venue, and the audience was completely silent.

Each fighter's mouth was agape in an "O" shape, staring blankly.

What I just saw... I must be dreaming, right?

Riolu, one punch, crushed, champion level, barrier, baby?

Can these words be connected together?

"Oh my gosh~"

A narrow victory, a narrow victory.

……

"A crushing defeat! Incineroar was utterly crushed by Riolu with a single punch, even the arena was obliterated."

Text description: "In the Fighting-type expert tournament that just concluded this year, genius Fighter and Poison-type Gym Leader Lu Yuan defeated Royal Mask in a crushing manner."

Facing the mangled competition venue, the venue owner, Lu Yuan, smiled and told our reporter, "I feel the venue's quality is just average; it's the kind of surface anyone could break."

This statement enraged all the fighters in the arena, and the audience on stage attacked him. However, Lu Yuan, the instigator, escaped the scene using Chansey's teleportation ability...

This concludes our exclusive report from the Sinnoh Daily. We will continue to monitor the developments of this incident and bring you the latest news as soon as possible.

Wutong Town, Wutong Martial Arts Academy.

Lu Yuan snorted coldly and put down the newspaper.

It rubbed its temples, feeling its blood pressure rise.

"Ghost, burn this for me." Lu Yuan crumpled up the newspaper on the table and threw it to Ghost.

Don't be angry, don't be angry. Just think about the five million you just received, five million, five million...

"Phew—" Lu Yuan let out a long breath and immediately felt much more relaxed.

I have five million, why should I be angry with them?

"Scratching?"

Gastly glanced at the crumpled newspaper on the ground and picked it up.

After studying for so long, it can now understand 3,500 commonly used characters.

The contents of the newspaper captivated it.

This doesn't look quite the same as what I saw at the scene.

This……

Could this be the exaggerated description mentioned in the book?

Sri Lanka, No. 1.

Indeed, one is never too old to learn.

I still have a lot to learn.

Neatly folding the newspaper in his hand and stuffing it into his dimensional pocket, Gastly floated back to Lu Yuan's study, ready to roam the ocean of knowledge.

Lu Yuan was getting impatient.
