Chapter 826: Chapter 533: Feng Aotian!?_2
But for now, Xin Li’s strength is transcendent, and the War Dance that Pokémon like Quaquaval mastered isn’t as effective as before.
The number of times being hit has increased.
The dancer thus fought exceptionally hard.
"An unfavorable start... how should this end?"
Baimu’s mood shifted from joy to worry. The Padia Region does not have a league conference, so the reward calculation naturally follows other systems, similar to Galar.
And the intensity of the first battle against the Four Heavenly Kings far exceeds the regional league conference qualifiers, which means the value of a Champion Trainer is far higher than that of a conference champion?
Indeed.
Remember, a Champion Trainer must also face Yazi, the Chief Champion, and gain her recognition to truly be considered Champion Level. The conference champion hasn’t even begun the Champion Alliance challenge, so how could they compare to a Champion Trainer?
[You unleashed all your ultimate moves]
The dancer flipped almost all her cards, even Quaquaval borrowed the Great Crystal Transformation and Torrential Trait to explode once.
Only then did they barely defeat Xin Li.
Of course, the more pivotal reason might be that Xin Li only brought out five Pokémon to battle the dancer.
[You were extremely relieved that this Four Heavenly Kings battle only required facing five Pokémon]
"So that’s it, still ’holding back’ huh..."
Baimu nodded secretly.
This Padia Region is too special in every aspect, even stranger than the Galar Region, where Gym Leaders are treated as celebrities.
The Four Heavenly Kings battle follows a similar process to battling the Four Heavenly Kings in a game—it’s the classic wheel battle.
And what surprised him was, the second Four Heavenly Kings the dancer faced was Qing Shan, the Gym Leader they had encountered in Medali Town.
The secret skill was [Harden], a person with the aura of Wulang and a middle-aged office worker.
[From Qing Shan’s words, you learn that being both a Four Heavenly Kings is the Alliance’s arrangement, and the Alliance required him to change his style when positioned as one of the Four Heavenly Kings]
Change style.
This means Qing Shan transitioned from being a General Attribute Gym Leader to a Flying Attribute Four Heavenly Kings.
Similar to challenging the Medali Gym previously, Qing Shan’s strength has increased significantly, which is disastrous for the dancer whose Pokémon didn’t get much rest.
Volcarona’s Fire God Dance defeated Tropius but fell to the electric-style Oricorio.
Tsareena’s Tropical Kick beat Oricorio but was defeated by Staraptor.
Oricorio’s Electric Attribute Awakening Dance defeated Staraptor but lost to Altaria.
And only when Ceruledge and Lilligant joined forces did they barely draw with Altaria.
Quaquaval and Qing Shan’s final Pokémon—Flamigo entered the king versus king stage, the Great Crystal Water and Great Crystal Flying attributes without restraint allowed both to hold on till the very end.
In the screen.
The exhausted Quaquaval and Flamigo stood in place, gazing at each other, gasping heavily.
The narrator describing the battle disappeared.
Replaced by the dancer’s inner thoughts.
[You know, your relationship with Quaquaval is quite complex]
[You are both traveling companions and dance partners, and more importantly, when you were at your lowest and most helpless]
[The one who reached out to you was Quaquaval]
[You were redeemed by Quaquaval’s dance, gaining strength from it, so now you know, it’s your turn to give power to Quaquaval]
The dancer suddenly began dancing, not the later-studied War Dance, but the dance Quaxly secretly learned initially.
At this moment.
The dancer’s dance seemed to be imbued with a true soul.
Even though it was a pixel screen, Baimu could taste the intense emotions she conveyed, a positive force that almost brought tears to his eyes.
And the inspired Quaquaval also erupted with unprecedented power—
Expanding nearly full screen with dazzling blue tides.
Truly[Flowing Water Spin Dance].
Flamigo was completely submerged.
"Indeed, this world is very different."
Baimu sincerely sighed, though the Four Heavenly Kings battle felt very much like a game, almost making him a bit confused.
But until Quaquaval was inspired by the dancer’s dance, fully unleashing its strength, he realized this was a boost only granted in an animated setting—
The power of the soul!
However, after defeating Qing Shan, the dancer was too exhausted to battle the next Four Heavenly Kings.
[You battled the art teacher Yasaku, who always refers to himself as "young master"; his strict and extraordinary strength quickly defeated you]
Yasaku specializes in Dragon Attribute Pokémon, and the narration reveals he is also the Young Master of Padia Region’s Dragon Tamer family.
"This... Young Master?"
Baimu glanced at Yasaku’s actual photo, perceiving he was almost the same age as Qianli, still calling him the Young Master—a sign the lead of Padia’s Dragon Tamer family might be far older!
Meanwhile.
He regretted not being able to encounter the very popular six-year-old Celestial King Poppi in Padia Alliance; perhaps she isn’t six yet.
[Your league challenge journey ended here]
[You again met Yazi, apologized to her, she didn’t mind much, instead, she asked if you were interested in joining the Pokémon Alliance]
[You declined, expressing your future desire to become a dance teacher at Orange Academy, helping bullied students and easing Celestial Star Team’s relationships with the school]
[You heard Yazi laugh, saying being a dance teacher and Pokémon Alliance employee could be dual roles, for instance, Yasaku, then you replied you’d consider it]
"A dance teacher, huh... it really is a nice choice."
Baimu nodded secretly, already anticipating the reward.
The simulation screen dimmed but suddenly lit up again.
Appearing before his eyes was a lavish office, the dancer stood on one side, and on the other side, was Headmaster Claver.
[You fully disclosed your understanding of Celestial Star Team to Headmaster Claver, who pondered and promised to quickly find the true leader of Celestial Star Team]
[Simulation ends]
"Huh? Is there a post-credit scene, what’s this about? Is the headmaster going to deal with Celestial Star Team?"
Baimu was taken aback, suddenly felt a stuffy feeling of being choked on food.
He hated himself for not crossing over a bit later, even if the animated Celestial Star Team plot might differ from the game, it could still offer some reference.
Unlike now, feeling stuck.
He quickly searched online only to find Celestial Star Team hasn’t been resolved in the real world either, thinking the dancer’s simulation content might be a matter of the last few months.
Ah—
So painful.
Baimu angrily knocked Aggron’s arm twice, finally calming down.
He looked at the reward.
[Fixed reward: Move Tutor×2 (can specify attribute)]
[Fixed reward: Dancer’s Original War Dance Memory—Cyan Flame Blade Ghost Sword Dance Chapter (can be repeatedly watched)]
...
[Choose Reward One: Raise any Pokémon by two levels (lv.70 below)]
[Choose Reward Two: Clue for acquiring a Pokémon (can specify attribute)]
[Choose Reward Three: Move—Close Combat (can choose Pokémon to learn)]
[Choose Reward Four: Leave [Elite System] talent for the next simulation round]
"Heh... conference runner-up level ah."
He instantly recognized these awards are given to the runner-up, so defeating Celestial King Yasaku would be the conference champion? What about the fourth one?
True full-power Celestial King level strength?
Or do you need to defeat Yazi? After defeating Yazi, then... ah, Champion Level Trainer. freewёbnoνel.com
The Chief Champion is the Regional Champion.
Baimu suddenly realized that perhaps the Padia Region wouldn’t yield top-tier rewards, that is, Regional Champion rewards, though so far only received Four Heavenly Kings level rewards once, it doesn’t hinder him from dreaming a little.
What if simulating a former Regional Champion?
Next time, this region shouldn’t be added to the blue simulation.
He nodded secretly.
Padia’s simulation might be somewhat interesting, but also because he didn’t play Scarlet & Violet, otherwise it’s just an ordinary gym challenge process.
"Choosing two out of four... let’s go with Close Combat and level-up then."
Baimu glanced at his stock; the Pokémon clues were too many, better swap for the powerful move Close Combat.
Moves aren’t something you can learn willy-nilly.
As for War Dance Memory...
Cyan Flame Blade Ghost Sword Dance? Can Mawile use it? Or does he need to capture another Pokémon with weapons?
"Let’s see then."
Baimu clicked the memory and instantly leaned against Aggron’s arm.
