Not a trainer this time

Is he the one holding a big stick and wearing a mask?

Or a Sai Fuhao who shines with gold and beats people with gold coins?

Or maybe three goats on mounts? Or should he go directly to his main Pokémon, Kuailon and Baboo?

Naoki was a little undecided for a moment, but he didn't hesitate. There was still some time before his next game, and he would make a decision based on the actual situation then.

The whole night was silent, and the next morning, when Naoki was taking Xiaoshu and the Pokémon for a picnic in the pasture, the Rotom phone in his pocket suddenly rang.

Zhi Shu took it out and saw that it was from Dan Emperor.

He pressed the button, and Dan Emperor's face appeared on the screen.

"Alchemy Emperor?" Naoki was a little surprised. Why did Alchemy Emperor call him at this time?

Dandi grinned, and then asked: "By the way, Naoki, have you seen a post that has been very popular on the Internet in the past two days?"

Naoki was slightly startled: "Post?"

Dan Di nodded, hummed, and said: "It's about the high-level competition you are participating in! So far, in addition to you, there is also a strong and popular seed player who has the opportunity to compete for the Eighth Master seat. I I thought you might be interested in him."

"oh?"

Popular seed player? Who could it be? Naoki couldn't help but fell into deep thought...

There is still one year left until Xiaozhi's eighth master.

As far as he knew, at this time, neither Ai Lan, Alice, nor any of the younger trainers from Kerni had come to compete.

There is no information in the anime about all the names of the previous contestants.

Naoki couldn't think of any possibility, so he asked with great interest: "Who is it?"

"I wonder if you have heard of the Lily of the Valley Conference?" Emperor Dan asked.

"Of course, isn't that the alliance conference held in the Sinnoh region?" Naoki nodded.

But as soon as he finished speaking, an incredible guess suddenly appeared in his mind.

Could it be that the person Dan Emperor mentioned was...

"That player once participated in the Alliance Conference, and with only two Pokémon, he won the conference championship with a crushing force." Dandi introduced: "And it is said that on the final stage, he even So one Pokémon defeated the opponent’s six main lineups!”

Dandi: "And his name is Dakdo. Like you, he also has several legendary Pokémon in his hands, the nightmare god Darkrai and the legendary infinite Pokémon Latios!"

Hearing this, Naoki was quite surprised.

Sure enough it was him!

Seeing Naoki's silence, Emperor Dan continued:

"Tsk, player Dakdo is also a dark horse in the World Championship! Just like in the Suzuran Tournament that year, so far, he has only used two Pokémon, Darkrai and Latios. Just went all the way to 68th place in the senior level.”

"According to the rules of the World Championship, you two trainers who have been winning continuously should meet each other before long."

Naoki: "..."

Dakdo actually came to participate in this world championship...

After the brief surprise, Naoki quickly regained his composure. He nodded and said, "I understand, I will prepare in advance."

Using Giratina and Gullton to beat other ordinary trainers may be a bit too bullying, but if it's another mythical beast man, it shouldn't be considered bullying, right?

Giratina wanted to appear just now, so he might as well take advantage of this opportunity.

"Well, if it's 3v3, the legendary Pokémon in the ranch are just enough." Naoki nodded secretly.

Giratina counts as one, Soluton counts as one, Ecuador counts as one, Martial Arts Bear Master also counts as one, and King Lei Guan also counts as one.

However, Raiden King is special. Compared with other Pokémon, he is not Naoki's Pokémon in the true sense. Their relationship is more like a friend.

But in an event like the World Championships that attracts the attention of people all over the world, if King Lei Guan appears on the stage, he will definitely be able to reap a huge wave of power of faith.

If that's the case, then that's it!

Soon, Naoki made a decision in his mind.

Just in time to have a Pokémon battle with all the mythical beasts with Dakdo.

Dan Emperor didn't know what decision Naoki made in just a few breaths.

He looked at Naoki across the screen and continued with a smile:

"By the way, regarding you two, the World Championships officials have recently received a large number of requests from viewers. Everyone hopes that if you and Dakdo play against each other, the rules of the battle may be changed to a 6v6 all-out battle."

"6v6?" Naoki was stunned.

"That's right." Dandi nodded: "Last night, after a joint discussion by the competition team, we finally decided to ask the two players for their opinions."

Dandi paused and said expectantly: "Dakdo has already agreed, so I want to ask you what you think."

Naoki: "..."

He thought for a moment, and then asked: "Do you know whether the remaining four Pokémon that have not appeared in the game in Dakdo are ordinary Pokémon or legendary Pokémon?"

"I don't know about that." Dandi shook his head: "So far, Player Dakdo has never revealed his last four Pokémon."

"Okay!" Naoki nodded. Since Dakdo has already agreed to 6v6, what else does he have to hesitate?

Thinking of this, he decisively replied: "I agree."

If the Pokémon in the ranch are put together, they can still form a full-god team.

Martial Bear Master, Uruk-Kyū, Gulden, Kyurem, Giratina, and Bud Crown.

Hearing Naoki's answer, Dantei smiled: "Okay, in that case, I will go to the event team to reply. Oh, by the way, player Darko has another message for me to give you."

"What?"

"He said, don't fall down before meeting him!"

Naoki was stunned, then smiled and said: "In that case, I also have something to say to him."

"Oh? What is it?" Dantei was very curious.

"When the time comes, I will definitely give you a big surprise." Naoki said.

Surprise? Dantei was a little surprised, but he still agreed readily: "Okay, I will definitely help you pass it on."

After hanging up the phone, Dantei went to respond to the event team, and Naoki was ready to continue playing house with his daughter.

The sky is blue, the water is clear, and white clouds float above the blue sky.

There was a blanket on the grass of the ranch, on which were placed a picnic basket, various snacks, and a bunch of toys.

Xiaoshu sat on it, playing with toys with Pokémon such as Burning Worm and Frostmilk.

Meltans walked around, constantly helping everyone carry snacks and food.

Naoki and Guldun sat on the other side, smiling as they watched Xiaoshu and Pokémon playing with toys.

Behind Xiaoshu, Raikou, Suicune, and Entei were lying on the soft grass, and they raised their huge heads to look at Naoki.

Entei asked, "Do you need our help?"

Obviously, they heard the content of the call just now.

Naoki was stunned for a moment, smiled and shook his head and said, "I won't bother you three this time."

Compared with the three sacred beasts, Naoki believed that Wudao Kumashi and Erkuku must be more eager to prove themselves on that stage.

Hearing this, the three sacred beasts nodded.

Everyone has their own responsibilities.

Naoki is going to participate in the human competition.

Their duty is to follow the instructions of Lord Ho-Oh and stay in the ranch to take care of the future Rainbow Warrior.

"Dad!"

Xiaoshu suddenly raised a Poké Ball toy and threw it towards Naoki.

Naoki quickly came to his senses and subconsciously caught the toy Poké Ball.

"Feifei!" Xiaoshu imitated the trainer throwing the ball to fight.

Children like to imitate.

It is estimated that this girl has watched the World Championships with Ai Guanshi and them too much these days, and began to imitate the trainers throwing the ball.

Naoki deliberately pretended to be hit hard, and with a "ah", he covered his chest and fell backwards, falling on Gulerton.

Xiaoshu thought his father was playing with him, and couldn't help but giggled.

Time passed by, and Naoki didn't react.

Xiaoshu realized that something was wrong, and the smile on her face disappeared. She staggered to her feet and ran towards Naoki.

"Dad?"

Naoki opened his eyes a little, and while Xiaoshu was squatting to check the situation, he pinched her armpits and lifted her up high.

"Wow!" Xiaoshu was startled.

But soon, she realized that her father was teasing her.

So, the little brows frowned and accused: "Dad, bad!"

"Okay, okay, Dad is playing with you!" Naoki put Xiaoshu down, pillowed on Gulden, and looked at Xiaoshu with it.

Xiaoshu snorted, and the puffy look was angry.

Seeing this scene, Naoki picked up his daughter and said to her: "Let Gulden take us to the clouds to see the stars, okay?"

Naoki held Xiaoshu and rode on Gulden, and Gulden also cooperated very well and spread its wings to fly high into the sky.

Xiaoshu was a little angry at first, but soon, her attention was attracted by the ever-changing scenery around her.

The earth gradually faded away, the warm wind blew on my cheeks, and white clouds appeared around me, looking as soft and white as cotton candy.

Although it was very high here, Xiaoshu didn't feel scared at all when she leaned on her father's arms.

Her eyes were completely attracted by the clouds around her.

"Wow!"

Although it was daytime and there were no stars, the blue dome was really spectacular and daunting.

If there were no space suits, Naoki would even want to take Xiaoshu to outer space to see more "stars", and maybe he could meet Pippi and Deoxys passing by in a spaceship.

After a while, Naoki sighed slowly.

Forget it!

There is a vast world outside the ranch.

This vast world will be explored by Xiaoshu when he grows up!

*

In the 204th year of the League Calendar, at 10 am on August 10, Naoki's fourth game officially began.

But this time his opponent was not Dakoto, but a girl with a hunting swallowtail butterfly.

Seeing this, Naoki did not use the legendary Pokémon to participate in the battle, but sent out the second Miltank.

As expected, the game was won, and Naoki was promoted from 79th to 75th.

On August 12, the fifth game, the third Miltank vs. Kentaro, Naoki's ranking was promoted from 75th to 69th.

On August 15, the sixth game, the fourth and fifth Miltanks participated in the battle and successfully defeated the opponent, making Naoki's ranking promoted from 69th to 63rd.

Time passed day by day, and in the blink of an eye, it was September 25th, 204th of the League Calendar.

During this period, Naoki had never met Dakoto.

But he was not surprised, because for such a highly anticipated competition, the event organizer would definitely want to delay it until the perfect time.

It was another crucial Pokémon battle, and this time, Naoki sent the Salt Stone Giant to participate in the battle.

The once small group of Salt Stone Pokémons have now transformed into powerful Salt Stone Giants.

On this stage that everyone is paying attention to, they defeated all opponents who stood in their way with extremely powerful strength, helping Naoki to successfully advance to the 10th place in the advanced level.

Only one step away from the Eight Masters.

Amid the fierce shouts of the audience, Naoki nodded slightly to everyone, then turned around and returned to the backstage of the players.

There, a man with long gray-blue hair and a red waistcoat was leaning against the wall waiting for him.

"I've been waiting for you for a long time." Dakoto said with a fiery look.

He had successfully advanced to the ninth place a few days ago, and was already qualified to compete with the eighth place.

But he rejected that proposal because he wanted to wait for Naoki here, waiting for the man who was chosen by the legendary Pokémon like him, to compete with him in a qualifying battle.

The winner will compete with the eighth place player in a position swap.

"Dakto..." Naoki looked at him and smiled, "In fact, I have heard of your name a long time ago, but I didn't expect to have a battle with you here today."

"What?"

"Your performance at the Lily of the Valley Conference that year was really impressive." Naoki said.

Dakto was slightly stunned, and a smile appeared on his proud face: "When the time comes, I will use all my strength to compete with you!"

"Then let's wait and see." Naoki smiled.

All strength... Does Dakto want to send all the legendary Pokémon to participate in the battle?

In this case, of course he will also exert all his strength.

In a blink of an eye, time came to September 29, the last day of the World Championship level competition, and also the key battle for the qualification of the position change battle.

On this day, the entire Gongmen Arena was already crowded with people, and even outside the arena, it was surrounded by fans and spectators from all over the world.

On the high platform, Dante, Chibana, Daigo, Adu, Sirona, Kaluni and others gathered here, ready to watch this crucial battle.

In front of the audience, Qishu was holding Xiaoshu, and her sister Ai Guanshi, Motor Lizard, Sai Fuhao and other Pokémon sat beside her, looking at the stage below with expectation.

Xiaoshu opened her round eyes and looked at the familiar figure on the field below.

She pointed at the man and shouted: "Dad!"

"Yes, it's Dad!" Qishu nodded excitedly: "Xiaoshu, today is a very important game for Dad, come and say cheer him up!"

"Dad, come on!" Xiaoshu shouted.

Her childish voice was soon swallowed up by the cheers and shouts around her.

However, the father and daughter are connected by heart. Naoki in the arena seemed to sense something, turned his head and looked in the direction of the audience.

His eyes accurately found his wife and daughter in the crowd, and then nodded to them.

Then, he focused all his attention on the confident Darko opposite.

Naoki's right hand stroked the Poké Ball in his pocket.

There were Ursa, Uruk-O, Kyurem, Giratina and Budcrest.

Plus Gurton standing next to him.

Darko, let's have a showdown between legendary Pokémon now!
