Chapter 539 The Final Day: The Strongest in History vs. The Strongest in Modern Times!
The city of Miare was exceptionally lively on the day of the finals.
Nearly two hours before the contestants were scheduled to enter, tens of thousands of spectators had already begun to enter the venue, eagerly awaiting today's highly anticipated showdown.
"Wow, there are so many people in the audience today!"
After arriving at the audience seats early and taking her seat, Da Ye looked around and exclaimed in surprise.
"After all, it's the final of a high-level ball game, and—"
Halfway through his sentence, Ah Liu, who was standing next to him, suddenly looked up at the big screen.
[A Clash of Titans! The Strongest in History vs. the Strongest in Modern Times!]
[Ooki & Kikuko duo vs. Aoba & Tsukurana duo!]
"The person who came up with this GG term is a genius. This phrase alone deserves its immense popularity."
Who is the strongest in history? There is no need to say more.
"Battle Legend" is the highest honor that all trainers aspire to in their lifetime, and currently only two people are qualified to be called such a title.
Even another legendary figure, Master Ma, was once defeated by Professor Oak.
Therefore, it can be considered undisputed.
As for "the strongest in modern times"—
There might be some controversy, but not much.
Before this doubles tournament began, even Yu himself might not have accepted this high praise.
After all, he has only been in the industry for a year, and both his honors and abilities still need time to be proven.
But by the time the finals were held, the situation had changed drastically.
Firstly, all the other new generation and veteran contestants have been eliminated, leaving only Teacher Yu and Zhu Lan standing until the end, stepping onto the final stage for the decisive battle.
Even Master Ma was defeated head-on by Coach Yu, and Coach Yu gave him a very high evaluation after the match.
It can be said that, based on the previous two battles, Qingyu has fully demonstrated his amazing strength, which is no less than that of the champion!
As a gimmick for the finals, it certainly deserves the title of "the strongest in modern times".
The only potential controversy is whether his strength still needs to be verified compared to that of Dante and Daigo, the two top-ranked international champions.
But coincidentally, Qingyu has a pretty good relationship with the champions.
After yesterday's match, Steven and Wallace immediately posted on Pokémon TV to cheer on Cynthia and Blue, who were about to face Professor Oak.
As for Dan Di, he quickly forwarded similar words of encouragement.
If even the two main figures don't care, then there's nothing to question.
The audience was probably more curious about this than about something that was completely irrelevant.
"Will Professor Yu be able to defeat Professor Oak?"
On the other side of the audience, Chibana, who was excitedly rubbing his hands together, asked excitedly.
"Who knows—after all, that guy just crushed two Hoenn champions yesterday."
"As viewers, all we need to do is cheer for Teacher Yu!"
Beside Cibana, a purple-haired man who had covered his face with a hat smiled broadly and patted Cibana on the back.
"call----"
Qibana reached out and slapped him away, then suddenly asked curiously.
"By the way, what brings you here all of a sudden?"
"Is the work with the league finished?"
"Yes! The venue for next year's Masters Championship has been set up. I'm just going through the motions."
Emperor Dan nodded.
"As for the acceptance and detailed verification, that's Chairman Loz's job."
"It's a real pity you're a few days late, otherwise you might have actually made it to this tournament."
"Well, President Rose won't allow me to participate in the competition."
Dan Di looked somewhat helpless.
He could understand President Loz's ideas, but sometimes he felt they were too pragmatic.
Opportunities to directly compete with Teacher Yu are rare indeed —
If we miss this opportunity, the only chance we'll have to face him again is probably at the future Masters Championship.
Thinking of this, Dan Di's smile turned somewhat bitter.
Is the title of "Strongest Champion" an honor or a burden for him?
However, if it's for the development of Galar—
Perhaps President Rose is right!
"Don't think too much about it, Little Dandan!"
As the two were reflecting on their own feelings, Master Ma's strong voice suddenly came from behind them.
"master?"
When Dan Di turned around, he saw Master Ma and Master Mi Ye waving at him with smiles on their faces.
"You can't be a champion like this. It's too tiring to have to think about everything. I'm afraid your ambition will be worn down by trivial matters in a few years."
Master Ma stood up and patted his apprentice on the shoulder.
"Sometimes, don't overthink it. Just follow your heart and you'll get better results."
"If the day ever comes that you have a disagreement with Mr. Lotz, remember this old man's words!"
"Master's reprimand is correct—"
Dan Di naturally took Master Ma's advice to heart.
He looked up at Daigo and Mikoto at the very front of another section of the stands not far away.
Both are highly popular champions, but Mr. Daigo is indeed living a much more carefree life. Even after losing the match yesterday, he didn't show any emotional fluctuations.
Even though he usually doesn't get involved, the Hoenn League still develops very well, especially after the secret of Mega Evolution was discovered.
Maybe Master is right. I should learn from Daigo.
Dan Di didn't dwell on the matter too much.
As Master Ma arrived, the large screen that had been flashing posters of the finalists displayed a new image.
The screen was split in two, displaying the two groups of contestants from the perspective of the Rotom camera.
"Here he is! Yu-sensei in his serious form!"
"Go, Teacher Yu! I think today is a great day to climb the ranks!"
"If we can win this match, Teacher Yu should be able to get into the top eight in the world, right?"
Many of the viewers were die-hard fans of Qingyu, and they had already started furiously attacking him.
Among them were students who were very good at math, who had already calculated for Teacher Yu "the best start ever".
If he can win this match, then with the world points from winning two high-level golf tournaments in a year, as well as the regional points from the Padilla Club Master and the King, Yu will theoretically have already secured his place among the "Eight Masters"!
As for his teammate, Zhu Lan Champion, his points are even higher.
"The whole family should advance to the Masters together!"
Upon hearing the audience's comments, Cattleya, sitting in the front row, immediately frowned.
hateful!
Why do I feel like I've been left behind by those two again?
However, considering the special circumstances today, let's set aside these issues for now.
"Keep it up, Zhu Lan!"
"And Qingyu too!"
"No matter how difficult it is, you must win this game!"
Cattleya's voice wasn't loud, and it was quickly drowned out by the shouts of the enthusiastic audience.
It seemed that only Wanlong heard her voice, and he smiled knowingly.
"Next, please welcome both contestants to the stage!"
Upon hearing the host's voice, Qingyu and Zhulan exchanged a glance in the contestant passage, then stood up.
Today, Zhu Lan was still wearing a black trench coat. A gentle breeze blew by, and the rustling of the coat hem complemented her "champion's aura," showcasing her regal demeanor.
As for Qingyu—
He also changed his usual casual attitude, not only changing into an extremely formal pure white suit, but also wearing a red and black cape that was a friendly gift from Adu.
According to A-du, capes and leather jackets are the hallmarks of a man's maturity!
Although it's not entirely clear how he arrived at this conclusion—
However, Qingyu still listened to half of it, and her seriousness about the competition was evident from her attire.
When the usually most unserious person suddenly becomes serious, everyone knows that he is now absolutely taking it 100% seriously and will do his best to defeat Professor Oak and Granny Kikuko to win the final victory of this tournament.
To achieve this goal, he even canceled the new video that was supposed to be released last night.
"That's it, Loto's facial expression control is spot on!"
Even the Rotom camera that had been following them extended its mechanical claws, giving a thumbs-up to the two men's imposing demeanor.
The camera continues to move forward until it is suddenly enveloped by a beam of light.
Upon entering the venue, the two Rotom cameras were quickly misaligned, causing the large screen image to spin rapidly in the eyes of the audience.
The line disappeared suddenly, and the two groups of contestants on either side of the screen were standing on the field, looking at each other.
"The advisor has finally arrived, meow!"
At the very top of the audience, Miaomiao, disguised as a staff member, sat on a snack cart and suddenly jumped up excitedly, shouting.
"Hmph, Professor Oak isn't so easy to defeat."
Above the stands, A-Du, with his hair disheveled by the strong wind, leaned against the wall and shook his head.
"Show me your true skills, Qingyu!"
'
'
Beside him, Shiba, who was gnawing on two angry buns with one hand, looked up and glanced at him with some confusion.
We clearly have player tickets, which should allow us to sit in the front row of the stands—
Why did Adu choose such a horrible place?
It couldn't just be for showing off, could it?
Apart from the two somewhat eccentric individuals, the other spectators in the contestants' seats held their breath, eagerly anticipating the final battle.
"Let's have a fun and memorable battle, Aoba!"
Under the watchful eyes of everyone, Professor Oak, who had been looking serious, suddenly laughed and shook hands with Qingyu, saying...
"I've been looking forward to this day for many years."
"A battle that marked the passing of an era, though it came a little late, made me understand the true meaning of 'legend' even more."
"So—Aoba, you'd better be prepared for this battle!"
"Whether it's to meet the audience's expectations, or to take over the responsibility of carrying a new era from me, on behalf of A-du who failed to do it back then."
"We must do everything in our power to achieve victory!"
Professor Oak, unusually, began to lecture, to which Aoba simply nodded silently, then smiled and replied, "I will give it my all to meet the expectations of a battle legend."
"That's good."
Professor Oak squinted his eyes in satisfaction and patted him on the shoulder.
"With your abilities, you can definitely achieve a result that satisfies everyone."
"I'm really looking forward to the next match."
After saying that, Professor Oak turned and walked off the field.
After the four players quickly took their positions, icons representing both teams immediately appeared on the big screen.
Qingyu took out a Friend Ball, and as he held it in his palm, his eyes were already full of confidence.
"The match begins!"
The referee's voice echoed throughout the stadium, and countless fireworks exploded simultaneously outside, as if celebrating the start of this highly anticipated showdown.
"Go, Kangaskhan!"
"I choose you, Gengar!"
After both sides simultaneously threw out four Poké Balls, a striking red light flashed in succession.
Before Grandma Kikuko, the purple ghost with a determined look in its eyes and a distinct upturn at the corners of its mouth made its first appearance.
As for its teammate, it was a robust marsupial roaring to the sky, exuding an imposing aura.
The baby kangaroo peeked out from its pouch, seemingly curious about the battle unfolding outside.
"As expected, Professor Oak and his team chose the most dominant starting lineup."
In the stands, Daigo nodded.
In yesterday's battle, they had actually anticipated facing this Pokémon pair.
By utilizing Professor Oak's Kangaskhan's "multitasking" ability, they can easily control the field while also diverting firepower, giving Gengar a perfect opportunity to stand still and deal damage.
Unfortunately, although they had prepared countermeasures, they ultimately couldn't use them.
so----
What will Qingyu's choice be?
All eyes were focused on the half of the court where Qingyu and Zhulan were.
When the red light faded, their choice immediately stunned countless viewers.
"what?"
It's quite normal for Cynthia to start with a Pokémon like that; at times like this, she always trusts Garchomp, the Pokémon she grew up with.
But Qingyu—
When the Pokémon, whose entire body was composed of black shadows and exuded a sense of despondency, appeared, many viewers were puzzled.
Who is it again?
"Is that the shadowy figure that kicked the Time-Space God when Teacher Yu was streaming in Sinnoh?"
True fans with good memories will immediately recall its existence, but that's about it.
Because Yu-sensei doesn't even have this Pokémon in his team, and he's never been seen using it before.
"Could it be one of those trump cards that's only used when facing a powerful enemy?"
"No, I think it's a dirty trick that Teacher Yu deliberately kept hidden, waiting for this day to pull a fast one on the opponent!"
Is it possible that it's actually a legendary Pokémon?
The audience chattered excitedly, and their speculations about this Pokémon became increasingly outlandish.
But they actually guessed right.
"Martha————"
Faced with two imposing Pokémon, Marshadow tried her best to stand tall and project an imposing presence despite her small stature.
Fighting alongside him was part of its duty, and then there was the hero's request—
I had no choice but to agree!
Although this means I might no longer be able to hide my identity as the "Shadow Instructor," Lord Ho-Oh will surely understand, right?
'
'
Professor Oak squinted, carefully observing the Pokémon for a while before finally giving an uncertain answer: "It is... Marshadow?"
Legend has it that the examiner only appears beside the hero chosen by Ho-Oh, responsible for testing whether it can shoulder the responsibility.
Its existence is only briefly mentioned in a very few ancient books, and no one has been able to prove its existence to this day.
But now—
How could Marshall appear before humans so easily?
Professor Oak looked up at Aoba, who was smiling.
It seems that, in addition to being recognized as a "True Hero," Qingyu has also gained the approval of many other legendary Pokémon.
What a pleasant surprise!
Looking at the imposing Marshadow, Professor Oak immediately and decisively declared, "Kangaskhan, Mega Evolve!"
