Elf: My three starters are the three gods of Hoenn

When the light of evolution dissipated, a shelled dragon appeared in front of Zhang Feng!

"Ding-dong, the current attribute values ​​of the Armored Dragon are as follows:"

……

Seeing the evolved Shellder Dragon, Zhang Feng also showed a happy expression, while Xiaoyao's subsequent Butterfree and Skitty were easily defeated by Shellder Dragon!

Although Zhang Feng did not show his true strength in this battle, the armored dragon alone was enough to make people's imaginations run wild!

After Zhang Feng defeated Xiao Yao, Xiao Yao was somewhat disheartened!

"I lost. As expected, how could I possibly win against an opponent that even Dad couldn't defeat?"

Gritting her teeth, Xiao Yao returned to Xiao Sheng's side. Seeing her older sister like this, Xiao Sheng began to comfort her!

Now, Xiaozhi, Xiaomao, and Zhang Feng have all successfully advanced to the next round!

So, the next match will naturally have to continue!

After Tetsuya's battle with Raiji, perhaps Raiji had long lost his drive as a trainer and was just a Pokémon breeding shop owner!

Therefore, facing the still ambitious Tetsuya, Raiji was also narrowly defeated by Tetsuya!

This scene also made Shinji somewhat dissatisfied with Tetsuya, and he thought about defeating him next!

In the fifth match, Ye Yue's Blaziken defeated A Xun's Emperor Naboo and successfully advanced!

In the sixth match, it was finally Shinji's turn. However, he did not hold back at all when facing a female trainer like Iris, and easily defeated Iris by taking on three opponents at once!

There's nothing we can do about it; Alice doesn't have either Dragonite or Haxorus right now.

In the seventh match, Kotetsu, despite having the advantage of having Ooze, Gyrocopter, and Double-Edged Sword, and the advantage of type, still narrowly lost to Brock, the Gym Leader, who was unleashing his full power!

Therefore, the final second round of the list has been determined!

……

Chapter 60 Ash Awakens, Zhang Feng vs. Shinji

The players who advanced to the second round are Ash, Gary, and Brock. All three players from the Kanto region have advanced to the second round, which shows that once the Kanto, Orange Islands, and Johto regions are merged!

The Kanto region's strength will once again surpass that of other regions, making it the strongest force!

Of course, it's also possible that the Orange Islands and the Johto region don't have any outstanding new generation trainers!

In the Hoenn region, three players also advanced: Zhang Feng, Ye Yue, and Tetsuya!

In the Sinnoh region, only one person advanced, and that was Shinji!

As for the Unova region, Alice, Kotetsu, and Kenny Yang all suffered defeats, which made Dr. Jujube lose face!

In the second round of the draw, Xiao Mao received a bye, while the remaining six will once again engage in a three-on-three battle!

The first match: Kanto Ash vs. Hoenn Leaf!

The second match: Hoenn Zhang Feng vs. Sinnoh Shinji!

The third match: Hoenn Tetsuya vs. Kanto Takeshi!

This lineup greatly boosted Ash's fighting spirit, as Ye Yue was the opponent who had prevented Ash from advancing to the semifinals at the Silver Conference!

Ye Yue's Blaziken is still a rival that Ash can't forget!

However, if Ye Yue brings out his main force, Xiao Zhi's current six Pokémon are probably no match for Ye Yue!

But that's just how Ash is; he's unwilling to change his Pokémon, even though the competition is on the second day!

The next day, the two began their battle!

In the first battle, Ye Yue used Weavile, which was successfully defeated by Ash's Grovyle. However, when Steelix appeared and defeated Grovyle, Ash then used Grit!

Despite type advantage, the Lobster was still defeated by the Steelix!

With that, Ash only had one Pokémon left, so Pikachu entered the fray!

After a tough battle, Pikachu successfully defeated Steelix, but when faced with Ye Yue's Blaziken, Pikachu fought desperately but ultimately lost!

Seeing Xiao Zhi defeated by him once again, Ye Yue couldn't help but say!

"Ash, I don't really understand why you insist on using Pokémon caught in the Hoenn region. Weren't your previous Pokémon your partners?"

"If Charizard were here, you might not have lost this battle!"

Faced with Ye Yue's question, Xiao Zhi wanted to refute it, but he had already lost, and that was the truth!

Even Xiao Mao couldn't help but speak up at this moment!

"Ash, Ye Yue is right. If you only rely on Pikachu's power and don't choose the most suitable partner in each battle, then your victory over me in the Silver Conference was just luck!"

"Or perhaps, you only get truly serious when you're fighting me!"

Upon hearing what Shigeru said, Ash's expression immediately changed!

Although their words were sharp, both Ye Yue and Xiao Mao hoped that Xiao Zhineng would become stronger!

Seeing this, Zhang Feng couldn't help but speak up!

"Ash, that's how Pokémon battles are. The winner has the right to speak. You have your battle logic, and we have our opinions!"

"Pikachu, as your starter Pokémon, has always accompanied you on your travels to various places, but have you ever truly trained the Pokémon at Professor Oak's lab with all your heart?"

"Did you ever visit Hidden Eagle back then?"

Upon hearing the name Pidgeot, Ash's expression changed drastically. After a long while, he put his hat back on, went to Professor Oak's side, and said to him!

"Professor, is there a place here to pass Poké Balls? I'd like to meet everyone!"

Seeing Xiao Zhi's expression, Zhang Feng couldn't help but smile!

This is the Ash Ketchum who later became the battle maniac in the Battle Frontier!

Hopefully, Ash will become stronger after this experience, and we wonder what kind of brilliance he will show at this brand new Cosmos Tournament.

Zhang Feng began to feel a sense of anticipation!

……

With the end of the first match, the battle between Zhang Feng and Shinji began!

Before the battle, Shinji couldn't help but speak coldly to Zhang Feng!

"I told you that guy was unreliable. Why waste so much time talking to him?"

Upon hearing Shinji speak, Zhang Feng also produced a Poké Ball!

"As I said before, only the winner has the right to speak. It's not too late to lecture me after you've won!"

After saying that, Zhang Feng immediately threw out the Luxury Ball in his hand, and a strong metal monster appeared on the battlefield!

At the same time, Shinji also took out a Poké Ball, and the two of them threw it at the same time!

"King Nidoran, prepare for battle!"

Shinji also fought against Kamishiro in the Battle Frontier, but he couldn't defeat Kamishiro no matter how many times he fought!

This Nidoking is one of his main forces in the Hoenn region. It is currently level 45, which is one level higher than the MetalGreymon in Zhang Feng's hands!

"Ding-dong, Nidoking's current attribute values ​​are as follows:"

Pokémon: Nidoking

Rating: 45

Characteristic: Poison Sting

Type: Poison, Ground

Qualification: Purple

Bond Evolution: Not yet unlocked

Super Evolution: Not yet unlocked

Skills: Super Horn Strike, Poison, Earth Power, Poison Strike, Megaton Punch, Hyper Beam...

Nidoking is at a disadvantage against MetalGreymon and Shinji has a type disadvantage, but one is the final evolution while the other is only the second evolution. It's still unknown who will win!

"King Nidoran, unleash the power of the earth!"

"Metal Monster, Psychic!"

As soon as the two gave the order at the same time, Nidoking roared and his thick thighs slammed into the ground. A surge of sand-like power erupted from the battlefield and rushed straight towards MetalGreymon from underground!

At that moment, MetalGreymon's eyes turned blue, and its powerful psychic abilities instantly gathered and focused on Nidoking!

Nidoking is a Poison-type Pokémon, but it is weak to Psychic-type Pokémon!

So, the moment both attacks hit each other, King Nido retreated repeatedly, letting out a roar!

"Metal Monster, one more time, Psychic!"

"Nidoking, hold on! Use Super Horn Attack!"

To be fair, Shinji's Nidoking was indeed quite formidable. Even after being attacked by Psychic again, he did not fall down. Instead, he used all his strength to unleash a Super Horn Attack, charging straight at MetalGreymon!

However, when he rushed in front of the Metal Monster, the Metal Monster immediately unleashed its Comet Fist!

"Ding-dong! MetalGreymon has defeated Nidoking, gaining 558 experience points and leveling up to lv45!"

Then, a dazzling light of evolution shone brightly across the entire arena once again!

"No way, you've evolved again?"

……

Chapter 61 Metagross Evolution, Shinji's Defeat!

When the light of evolution shone brightly across the entire arena once again, everyone looked at Zhang Feng with a sense of disbelief!

As a trainer who just debuted this year, Zhang Feng is not like Xiao Yao, who has a gym leader father as a backer. Not to mention that this gym leader is known as the number one person below the Elite Four, yet he was able to be invited here by Professor Birch!

It is clear that Zhang Feng truly possesses extraordinary strength!

Judging from the Pokémon he's used—first Shellder, and now Metagross—this "newbie trainer" seems a bit too strong!

Apart from Zhang Feng and Xiao Yao, who among those present wasn't a seasoned trainer?

"It seems that Zhang Feng is indeed a formidable opponent!"

Professor Birch grinned from ear to ear at the sight, for this was truly an outstanding trainer discovered by him!

The stronger Zhang Feng becomes and the more famous he becomes, the more he will be praised by others, proving his own judgment!

Soon, as the light of evolution disappeared, a powerful Metagross appeared before everyone!

When Zhang Feng checked the Metagross's attribute panel, sure enough, this guy did not disappoint him!

At first, Zhang Feng was very envious of Daigo for having a shiny Metagross with red stats!

However, with Infernape and Shiny Aggron completing their final evolutions, Metagross is still a red-tier Pokémon!
