Chapter 638 VS Genji, doubles battle!
In the evening of January 1st.

Outside the battle tower in Larus City, the word "sea of ​​people" is not enough to describe the number of people gathered here.

Even though they can watch it through live broadcast, many people still want to see and experience the upcoming exhibition match in person.

——Not long ago, the news that a heavyweight exhibition match would be held in the battle tower tonight had already been announced through the cube robots throughout the city.

The streets and alleys of Larus City were filled with electronic advertisements for the exhibition match.

The identities of the two opponents were also revealed early on.

Because they are in different regions, and because a long time has passed since the Asia Island incident, many people in the Hoenn region are not familiar with Luo Mu.

It is also hard to imagine that he is the teacher of the young and promising trainer Neemo in the live broadcast of the championship test that went viral on the Internet not long ago.

But because Dr. Rondo and the others did not hide Luo Mu's identity as a champion-level trainer, no one would question whether Luo Mu was qualified to fight another trainer.

After all, compared to Luo Mu, the opponent is the top trainer in the Hoenn region, except for the two champions who often alternate above him.

The Four Heavenly Kings who control the dragon attribute, Genji!

When the news spread that the opponent was going to hold an exhibition match in the battle tower in Larus City, the entire Larus City and even some nearby cities were in turmoil.

Until now, there are probably still many people taking the ferry train, rushing to the city of Larus.

This is the world of Pokémon.

Even though he is a person who seldom appears in public, his identity as one of the Four Heavenly Kings is Genji's living signboard.

This also allowed him to go out to sea without any worries as a captain.

In such a large group of people, Xiaozhi and his group were naturally mixed in.

However, with the help of their new friend Xiao Chao's identity, they went backstage and got the hard-to-get tickets.

——And a few new friends of mine also got one.

Chatting about the strange aurora that appeared in the afternoon, a group of people marched through the crowd and entered through the back door with Xiao Chao's pass with higher authority.

During the interval between entrances, Aaron, who was Xiaozhi and Xiaochao's opponent in the afternoon and used the Pokémon Flame Chicken, changed his calm and composed appearance and said with some longing:
"I didn't expect to see Mr. Genji's battle today. It's worth coming all the way from the Southern City just for the battle tower!"

Twin sisters Catherine and Audrey also fully support their brother Aaron.

"Yes, yes, I am his biggest fan!"

Shouta, who was using Blastoise, nodded in agreement. Then, with an agility that was inconsistent with his slightly fat body, he knelt on one knee towards Xiaoyao who hadn't reacted yet.

"But now, in my heart, Xiaoyao-chan, you are number one!"

".Ahahaha."

Xiaoyao could only give an awkward yet polite smile.

Xiao Chao, who had been silent and seemed to have some social anxiety, suddenly spoke in a low voice.

"What about Mr. Genji's opponent? Since he was also invited, does that mean he is also a trainer of that level?"

As Dr. Lando's child, Xiaochao seems to have inherited a certain amount of his intelligence, and he led the topic to another side with a different perspective.

The moment he said this, Xiaozhi almost immediately echoed him.

"Of course! Master is super awesome!"

As if to add credibility to his words, Xiaozhi and Pikachu raised their arms synchronously, trying to express their excitement with exaggerated movements.

"Master? Is Mr. Genji's opponent your master?"

Shouta asked with some curiosity.

Unexpectedly, Xiaozhi scratched his head a little embarrassedly and said with a wry smile: "Master still doesn't acknowledge it. Now it's just my one-sided apprenticeship."

".I think so."

Shouta shrugged. He really couldn't imagine how a trainer who could have an exhibition match with Mr. Genji could teach a guy like Satoshi to be so careless.

During the several battle tower competitions in the afternoon, the opponent had many amazing moves, which made them unable to believe many times that Xiaozhi was actually an experienced trainer who had won a league tournament.

"But I am still optimistic, or I should say strongly support Mr. Genji."

Aaron's voice paused again.

"After all, he is a genuine Four Heavenly Kings. As for the level of a champion trainer, I can't come to a conclusion yet, but I think he should be inferior to the regional champion."

Shouta and his two twin sisters expressed their strong agreement with his words. Xiaoyao and Xiaosheng were a little hesitant. After all, they had also seen the power of the messenger bird.

Xiaochao didn't say anything, Xiaogang smiled without saying anything, and Xiaozhi became angry and looked like he wanted to debate with Aaron and the others to the end.

——At this time, Xiaotong, who had been holding the computer in her hand and looking up something, pushed up her glasses and whispered in a voice that only she could hear: "Unknown, very interesting."

Although there was a lot of noise along the way, everyone successfully sat down in the front seats with the best view.

Next, all we have to do is wait for the exhibition match to begin.

In the lounge, one could faintly hear the noisy cheers of the audience from behind countless walls.

Luo Mu sighed a little. Today was probably the first time he had ever fought a battle with such a grand scale.

The spacious venue and the huge audience are evidence of this.

This was the first time for him to show up in public like this.

After all, previous battles were either closed or had few spectators.

If you count carefully, the battle with the most viewers should be the battle with Nimo in Zhuotai City not long ago.

Now that I look back carefully, I realize it's no wonder that I'm not as popular as Genji. I really can't blame anyone for this.

Who told me that I rarely show up in official competitions?
After reaching an agreement with Dr. Rondo in the afternoon, I got the important puzzle "reward" needed to build my own eco-dome almost for free.

Because Dr. Rondo saw his son Xiaochao’s “battle” on TV, he was so excited that he ran out with his assistant Miss Yuko.

When he had nothing to do, Luo Mu released the Roentgen cats and Bagogo and the others and took them on a grand tour of the city of Larus.

If the notice of the exhibition match had not been sent out close to five o'clock in the afternoon, Luo Mu might have stayed outside for a while longer.

After all, it was really hard to bear seeing the streets full of close-up photos of himself and Genji.

Luo Mu could only enter the battle tower dejectedly before he was surrounded by the curious crowd. Anyway, Dr. Rondo called him at that time.

Luo Mu looked up at the live broadcast of the huge crowd outside.

Suddenly, there were a few shouts of surprise from the crowd. It was not because Mr. Genji had mistakenly entered the circle of fanatical fans, but simply because of the changes in the gradually darkening night sky.

Layer upon layer of gorgeous curtain-like auroras are flickering in the night sky, as if carrying someone's longing for someone else.

This strange natural phenomenon naturally caused surprise among the crowd.

The aurora is caused by the solar wind. When the solar wind reaches the earth, the high-energy charged particles in it will reach the two poles along the direction of the magnetic field under the influence of the strong field of the planet. It is a beautiful natural phenomenon unique to those two regions.

After all, the Hoenn region is strictly a coastal tropical region, not one of the poles, so the gorgeous lights and shadows in the night sky like the aurora should not appear.

——It is worth noting that this kind of aurora is not the first time it has appeared.

Just this afternoon around four or five o'clock, the aurora also appeared in a small area in the city of Larus.

Putting aside the sensation caused by the unreasonable auroras, at least Luo Mu knew very well how these auroras were caused. Or who caused them.

Deoxys was a DNA Pokémon that was once defeated by Rayquaza on the ice field, and its entire body was destroyed in one breath, leaving only its core crystal that fell into the deep sea. It took a long four years to regenerate.

That's right, Deoxys has arrived in the city of Larus and is trying to find the trace of his companions amidst countless magnetic field interferences.

The aurora is the unique way of communication of this mythical Pokémon from outer space.

Luo Mu did not meet the other party in the afternoon, nor did he have any plans to meet it.

Because this time the plot does not require my intervention, and the perfect ending of making dumplings can be achieved.

After tonight, tomorrow will be the day when Rayquaza will come in pursuit of Deoxys' presence and the city of Larus will be evacuated.

I have to say that Rayquaza really holds a grudge. After feeling the same aura after four years, his first reaction was to kill us.

That's quite persistent.

Fortunately, the black one that I provoked was thrown far away by the Flower Crown King, so it should be difficult to encounter it.

A knock on the door interrupted Luo Mu's thoughts.

"Mr. Luo Mu, the scheduled time is almost here."

After the knock on the door, a strong male voice came from outside.

There is nothing to prepare for, and there is no need to have any psychological expectations.

After replying, Luo Mu stood up and opened the door.

The battle tower staff, who looked a bit sturdy, had his work ID tied with a red ribbon around his neck and smiled.

"Let me take you to the preparation area of ​​the contestant's booth."

The other party made a gesture of leading the way, taking Luo Mu through twists and turns in the passage and arriving at a dark space.

"Just a moment please."

After the staff member said this respectfully, he turned around and used the headset to contact the person on the other side who should be at the control console.

After receiving the exact instructions, he spoke: "Next, you just need to step on the conveyor belt, and it will send you to the preparation area of ​​the contestant's seat. After that, the area will automatically rise and take you to a higher battle site. Please don't be nervous."

The other party's introduction was very detailed in every aspect. After Luo Mu nodded slightly, he stepped directly onto the conveyor belt that was running silently.

The moment he stood firm, a force carried Luo Mu forward.

On the running track, there is a rotating red ring every half meter, which serves the function of scanning and transmitting messages.

A subtle red light shone on Luo Mu, but it did not perform facial or iris recognition. Instead, it accurately sensed the pass in Luo Mu's pocket.

An artificially synthesized mechanical sound then sounded.

"Pass confirmed, on-site registration completed."

"Mr. Luo Mu, I wish you a satisfying exhibition match."

At this time, the conveyor belt also reached the end.

A red and blue circular platform with a Poké Ball pattern comes into view.

Shortly after Luo Mu stood up, the conveyor belt extending from the passage automatically retracted, the safety door closed, and the surroundings suddenly became dark.

With the clicking sound of the machinery turning, the battle platform began to rise under the action of the lifting device, getting closer and closer to the light source above.

——Then, the noisy atmosphere in the vast space turned into a heat wave and rushed towards us!

On the huge circular platform that was also divided by red and blue colors, the spotlights all shone on Luo Mu, and the enthusiastic voice of the commentator riding in a flying vehicle high above rang out.

"The blue team is one of the trainers participating in this exhibition match, Luo Mu, a champion trainer from the Padia region!"

In the huge space, the enthusiastic audience that filled the auditorium were still very respectful and cheered.

Luo Mu could still vaguely hear the voices belonging to Xiaozhi and Pikachu.

But when the commentator introduced the red team's trainer, the atmosphere suddenly changed, and even the commentator's voice became involuntarily higher.

"The red team is the pride of our Hoenn region, the experienced trainer who controls the power of dragons, the Four Heavenly Kings, Mr. Genji!!!"

Let’s not talk about the commentator’s introduction which obviously carries some personal opinions.

The moment Genji appeared on the stage, the cheers were twice as enthusiastic as when Luo Mu appeared on the stage before. No, ten or even nine times as enthusiastic. The cheers echoed from the audience seats like a tidal wave.

Luo Mu's expression remained unchanged. In the light of the spotlight, he looked at the old man in front of him with a white beard. He was wearing a white captain's hat and a black open jacket. His appearance was as weathered as if he had been carved by a knife and an axe due to years of wind and sun.

He is one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Hoenn region, Genji.

Just like Kikuko from Kanto, Kikuno from Sinnoh, Doracena from Kalos, and the senior from Padia.

As the oldest of the Four Heavenly Kings in the Hoenn region, his strength is far stronger than the ordinary Four Heavenly Kings.

To be on the safe side, Luo Mu would better send out his main force to deal with him.

——But he had no such plan.

Whether it's the combination of Roentgens and Mimikyu or Mega Swampert and Poliwag, the combination is too excessive.

It’s just a fight against the Four Heavenly Kings, there’s no need to take it so seriously.

Genji was unaware of the "arrogant" thoughts in Luo Mu's mind, but raised the Poké Balls in both hands.

The battle rules introduced by the commentator on the radio echoed in his ears, but Genji, who already knew that this was a doubles match, looked at Luo Mu and said lightly: "Come on, let me see how powerful the champion trainer of Padiya is."

"Then please give me your guidance, Genji-senpai."

Luo Mu smiled slightly and threw out the red and white Poké Ball and level ball that he had prepared long ago.

Accompanied by the light emitted from the Poké Ball.

The next moment, both sides shouted at the same time:

"Roar, Dragonite, Double Axe War Dragon!"

"It's decided that it's you, Moltres and Victini!"
