Chapter 132: Leon and Raihan
Several days later, Bai Feng and the others successfully arrived in Wyndon and checked into Fu La Da Li's Villa there.
Ah, the wickedness of the rich; they have properties everywhere!
Because it was already very late when Bai Feng and the others arrived in Wyndon, they did nothing that day and went to bed early after washing up.
Perhaps because he was in an unfamiliar Environment, Bai Feng woke up early the next morning. He walked to the window and abruptly pulled back the curtains. What greeted his eyes was a lush green Grassland.
There were various Pokémon on the Grassland, either playing and roughhousing or strolling leisurely, such as Wooloo grazing with their heads down, Yamper rolling back and forth, and Falinks lined up in neat rows... In short, it was very lively.
The cool morning Wind blew in from the window, gently caressing Bai Feng's cheek and fully clearing his muddled Spirit.
Just then, there was a knock on the Door outside. Bai Feng opened the Door and saw that it was Bai Ye.
"Mom, good morning!" Bai Feng greeted Bai Ye in a good mood.
"Gardevoir~ Gardevoir~" Good morning, my dear baby. Since you're already awake, hurry and wash up, then let's go downstairs for Breakfast.
"Coming!"
Bai Feng washed up as quickly as possible, then went downstairs with Bai Ye. Fu La Da Li was already leisurely eating Breakfast downstairs.
Seeing the mother and son come down, Fu La Da Li said with a smile, "You're up. Come quickly and eat Breakfast. After we eat, we'll go explore Wyndon together."
Although Fu La Da Li had his own Villa in Wyndon, this was actually his first Time visiting the Place. He was very interested in Wyndon.
"Okay!"
After a hearty Breakfast, Bai Feng and his Mom planned to visit Wyndon with Fu La Da Li.
There were still a few days until the Auction, so they could take this Opportunity to have a good look around this famous City in the Galar Region.
Wyndon is currently the largest City in the Galar Region.
However, its existence hasn't been for long. It is a Modern Metropolis built under the personal supervision of Rose, the current Chairman of the Pokémon League in the Galar Region.
Speaking of Rose, he is an even more influential figure than Fu La Da Li.
The Pokémon League in the Galar Region is slightly Different from the Pokémon Leagues in other Regions. Its League Champion is not selected through Elite Four Challenge Matches but is determined through a Special Competition – the Champion Knockout Tournament.
Back then, Rose was also a very powerful Trainer. He secured the Runner-up position in the League's Knockout Tournament. Although he didn't become Champion, he gained immense fame because of it.
Incidentally, the Champion at that Time was Rose's younger brother, Peony.
Riding the wave of becoming the Runner-up in the League Knockout Tournament, Rose vigorously developed his Career, eventually establishing the Macro Cosmos Group, whose Business spanned almost the entire Galar Region.
Following that, he succeeded to the position of Pokémon League Chairman. It was also in this year that his brother, Peony, resigned from the position of League Champion.
There have always been rumors circulating that Rose and his brother Peony have a very bad relationship, and the reason Peony resigned as Champion was because his brother Rose became the League Chairman.
As for how much truth there is to these rumors, outsiders have no way of knowing.
During his tenure as the Galar Region League Chairman, Rose accomplished many significant things, the most famous of which was introducing the Special phenomenon of Dynamax, which only exists in the Galar Region, into Pokémon Battles.
Wyndon was also built under his personal initiative, and it is also the Headquarters of the Macro Cosmos Group.
Fu La Da Li was very interested in both this figure and the City he built.
After learning that Fu La Da Li was going to visit Wyndon with Bai Feng and his Mom, the Butler made a Phone call. Soon after, two Special transportation tools carried by Corviknight landed in the Villa's courtyard.
This Special type of transportation tool is unique to the Galar Region, with the driver being the invincible Corviknight in the Galar Region's Sky.
These flying taxis belong to a Company called Galar Taxi Company, which was also established by Chairman Rose.
"What an interesting transportation tool," Bai Feng said after circling the flying taxi.
Bai Ye was also very interested in this unique transportation tool. She held Bai Feng's hand beside it, already eager to try it out.
Under the guidance of the staff, Bai Feng and the others boarded the flying taxi. Fu La Da Li rode in one alone, while Bai Feng and Bai Ye rode together in another.
"Caw~"
"Caw~"
As the two Corviknight let out a cry, the taxis they carried soared into the Sky, and the scenery below rapidly shrank.
Fu La Da Li's Villa was not in the City Center of Wyndon but in the suburbs. The Environment here was beautiful, and the scenery was picturesque. As the Corviknight carried Bai Feng and the others higher and higher, the view below was unobstructed.
After a period of rapid flight, the flying taxis landed in the plaza of Wyndon Station. As soon as Bai Feng and the others got off, they saw a bustling crowd.
However, with Fu La Da Li present, Bai Feng and the others certainly didn't need to explore Wyndon on foot. Fu La Da Li made a Phone call, and soon after, a luxurious Car stopped in front of them.
Besides the Car, Fu La Da Li also hired a Guide to lead them.
This Guide was a local of Wyndon and knew every Place in the City like the back of his hand. Under his guidance, Fu La Da Li, Bai Feng, and his Mom had a very enjoyable Time.
"Finally, the Place we're going to is the most famous Place in Wyndon, Wyndon Stadium!" the Guide said to Bai Feng and the others with a proud expression at the end.
Wyndon Stadium is not only the venue for the Galar League Champion's Cup but also the Location of the Galar League Headquarters.
Upon hearing this News, Bai Feng had good reason to suspect that Chairman Rose pushed for the construction of Wyndon to make his work more convenient.
After Wyndon was built, he could move both the Macro Cosmos Group Headquarters and the Pokémon League Headquarters to this City, as he simultaneously held the positions of President of the Macro Cosmos Group and Chairman of the Pokémon League.
As the Guide talked endlessly, Bai Feng and the others quickly arrived at Wyndon Stadium.
Wyndon Stadium is the largest Stadium in the Galar Region, and its architectural appearance is naturally very striking, resembling a giant bright pink rose Flower.
Coincidentally, there was a Match going on in the Stadium today.
Although the League Challenge in the Galar Region is not too Different from other Regions, it is generally divided into two Stages: the Gym Challenge and the Champion's Cup.
Challengers first need to obtain an Invitation Letter from specific individuals such as Gym Leaders before they are eligible to participate in the Gym Challenge.
This is a significant difference from other Regions.
Challengers need to challenge eight Gym Leaders in order and obtain their Badges, and they also need to complete Special Tasks assigned by the Gym Leaders before the Challenge.
After completing the Gym Challenge, Challengers can participate in the Champion's Cup, which is held once a year at Wyndon Stadium.
Of course, the Challenge Bai Feng and the others encountered today was definitely not a Champion's Cup Match.
Besides being used for major Competitions like the Champion's Cup, Wyndon Stadium sometimes organizes some relatively Special Matches.
At this moment, loud cheers were coming from inside the Stadium. Bai Feng and Fu La Da Li, filled with curiosity, walked into the Spectator Seats of the Stadium under the Guide's lead.
As soon as Bai Feng and the others entered, they heard the Referee shouting loudly: "Oh oh oh~ Contestant Raihan's Turtonator is down! Which Pokémon will he send out next? It's truly exciting!
As the Situation stands, the situation is very unfavorable for Contestant Raihan. Can Contestant Raihan achieve a Comeback?"
Bai Feng focused his gaze on the Battlefield. He saw a dark-skinned young man standing on each side of the Battlefield. One had purple hair and a sturdy build; the other was slightly thinner, with black hair and wearing an orange headband.
Well, isn't that Leon and Raihan? One is the future Champion of the Galar Region, and the other is the future strongest Gym Leader of the Galar Region.
Bai Feng didn't expect to see a Match between these two at Wyndon Stadium today.
From the big Screen on the Battlefield, it appeared that Raihan had already lost four Pokémon: Gigalith, Sandaconda, Flygon, and Torkoal. He only had two Pokémon left that he could use.
In contrast, Leon on the opposite side had only lost two Pokémon: Aegislash and Inteleon.
It was clear that the Situation was indeed very unfavorable for Raihan.
At this moment, Raihan, with a pale Expression, recalled Turtonator into its Pokeball. As the commentator's words poured out one after another, his Expression grew darker and darker!
Finally, amidst everyone's anticipation, Raihan sent out his fifth Pokémon, Goodra.
Leon's Pokémon on the field was originally Rhyperior, but seeing Goodra sent out by the opponent, he decisively recalled Rhyperior and immediately switched in a Dragapult.
Well, now it was Pseudo-Legendary versus Pseudo-Legendary, Dragon-type versus Dragon-type. Instantly, the Emotions of the Viewers outside the field were ignited.
Leon certainly knew what the Viewers wanted to see!
Dragapult's speed was much faster than Goodra's, so even though Goodra was sent out first, Dragapult was the one who attacked first.
"Dragapult, Dragon Darts!"
Following Leon's command, the two Dreepy on Dragapult's Body suddenly shot out, attacking Goodra.
Goodra did not move. It belonged to the type of Pokémon that isn't fast, and its Body is heavy. Instead of relying on running away to survive, it was better to rely on defense.
Just as the two Dreepy were about to hit Goodra, a transparent arc-shaped barrier suddenly appeared in front of it.
Goodra used Protect.
The two Dreepy crashed onto the Energy Shield formed by the Protect Skill with bangs, letting out painful wails, and then awkwardly returned to Dragapult's side.
Immediately after, the Sky suddenly darkened. A large patch of Dark Clouds suddenly appeared in the Sky above the Stadium, and soon after, heavy rain poured down.
It turned out that while Dragapult was attacking, Goodra had quickly brewed the Rain Dance Skill.
As the rain got heavier and heavier, the original normal field suddenly turned into a Swamp Battlefield advantageous to Goodra.
Goodra waved its arm, and the muddy water on the Ground suddenly began to churn violently. Soon after, Tentacles suddenly extended from the churning muddy water, reaching out to grab Dragapult.
Goodra used the Muddy Water Skill, and it seemed to have extraordinary control over this Skill.
Seeing this, Dragapult could only keep flying back and forth in the air to dodge the capture by the Silt Tentacles.
But there were too many Silt Tentacles controlled by Goodra. Unless Dragapult flew directly to High Altitude, out of the field, where the muddy water Tentacles couldn't reach.
But if that were the case, the Match wouldn't need to continue.
Finally, Dragapult was careless for a moment and was grabbed by one foot by a Tentacle.
Dragapult tried to struggle but failed to break free from the restraint. At this Time, other Tentacles also wrapped around it one after another. Soon after, they grabbed Dragapult's feet, hands, and neck, and dragged Dragapult towards the Silt.
Seeing this, Leon shouted, "Dragapult, Dragon Rush!"
"Chuuula~"
Dragapult's entire Body suddenly emitted a blue-purple light. Immediately after, the Tentacles wrapped around it snapped one by one. Dragapult transformed into a ball of light and crashed towards Goodra.
However, just then, Goodra's entire Body suddenly began to Melt, becoming transparent. In an Instant, it turned into a puddle of Water and fell into the muddy water all over the Ground, disappearing from sight.
Dragapult's attack missed. It looked left and right blankly, unable to find any trace of Goodra.
"Dragapult, concentrate! It melted into the Water, watch below you," Leon reminded Dragapult.
The Skill Goodra used is called Melt. It can increase the user's defense. If used in Water, it can also perfectly use the Water to hide its tracks.
Dragapult remained vigilant in the air, afraid that Goodra would suddenly pop out from somewhere and hit it.
Not only was Dragapult nervous, but the Viewers in the stands were also nervous. Even Bai Feng stared at the field without blinking, afraid of missing a single exciting moment.
Seeing this Situation, Leon suddenly had a brainwave.
"Dragapult, Thunderbolt!"
"Oh no, Goodra, get out quickly!" Hearing Leon's words, Raihan shouted.
Unfortunately, it was already too late.
"Chuuula~"
Dragapult responded with a cry, and its entire Body suddenly burst into countless golden lights. Streaks of golden Electric Current crackled and struck the muddy water on the Ground. For a Time, Electric Current was scattering everywhere across the entire field.
With a scream, Goodra slowly condensed back into its original form from the muddy water.
Fortunately, Goodra's Special Defense is very outstanding. Although that Thunderbolt just now was powerful, it didn't make it lose Combat Ability immediately.
However, Goodra's appearance showed that it was definitely not feeling good, especially since it was struck while melted in Water, and Water is very conductive.
Sensing Goodra's weakness, Raihan gritted his teeth and shouted, "Goodra, use Outrage!"
Following Raihan's command, Goodra's light green eyes suddenly turned crimson, and its Expression also suddenly became abnormally terrifying.
"Oh no, Dragapult, run!" Leon suddenly shouted.
But it was already too late. Goodra's two horns suddenly became very, very long, and in an Instant, they constricted Dragapult's neck.
At this moment, all the Viewers, including Bai Feng and Fu La Da Li, couldn't help but hold their breath.
