Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 514 Royal Battle Points Ranking, Moltres of the Quartz Plateau!

In this regard, Naoki's evaluation is unnecessary.

Not to mention Ho-Oh for now, Rayquaza, Groudon and Kyogre will probably cause an uproar as soon as they appear.

The sensation caused by Ragnarok and Giratina, two legendary Pokémon active on the Internet, is likely to be quite significant.

As for Mewtwo...

As soon as it appears, it will probably be targeted by the Rockets immediately.

After thinking it over carefully, Naoki decided to refuse the help of these legendary Pokémon.

Giratina seemed to feel very regretful because it had missed a good opportunity to increase its fans.

The other legendary Pokémon didn't say anything, but Ho-Oh said it could send the Ho-Oh Guards to help.

After seeing the message from Ho-Oh, Naoki thought about it carefully and then replied.

[King Yi: Is it Emperor Yan, Water God, and Thunder God? ]

[Ho-Oh: That's right, the three of them are my messengers in this world. They have done many things for me and are very reliable Pokémon.]

【Wing King: Where are they now? 】

[Ho-Oh: In the Johto region. ]

Naoki: "..."

Forget it. Although he really wants to meet Entei and the others, the Johto region is eight hundred feet away from Alola, and Entei and the others have no way to cross the sea, so they don't have time to get here to participate in the royal battle.

What's more, they are not familiar with each other.

Thinking of this, Naoki gave a reply.

[King Yi: Maybe next time. I’m afraid it’s too late this time.]

[Phoenix King: Okay, if you need me in the future, I can call the Phoenix King Guards here to meet you.]

Come here and meet the one it has chosen.

In the heart of Ho-Oh, this human named Naoki has met the requirements to become the Rainbow Brave.

It should let Yan Di and the others come to see the new Rainbow Hero.

At this time, Mewtwo also found Oliva who was sorting things out in the Pokémon Guild.

It used its Rotom phone to start a video call with Naoki.

Soon, the video call was connected.

"Oliva, do you have time now? I have something I want to ask you for help with." Naoki said, "I encountered some problems in the Alola region and have two battles to go on."

Oliva on the other side nodded happily and said, "Pro~"

Seeing Oliva agreed, Naoki smiled and said, "Okay, I'll go back to the ranch to pick you up in the evening."

"Profit~"

Oliva nodded slightly.

After hanging up the phone, Naoki wrote down Oliva's name.

One Pokémon is not enough. In order to be prepared for emergencies, Naoki feels that he should prepare a few more, at least three.

Oliva is the first one, and there are two more to go.

As for the current Pokémon on the ranch...

Some Pokémon images flashed quickly in Naoki's mind.

Soon, a sturdy figure holding a scallion appeared in his mind.

Got it! Farfetch'd can join the battle too!
So, which one should I choose with one left?
At this moment, Frost Milk Fairy suddenly ran in from outside.

Seeing Naoki in distress, it jumped onto the sofa and asked, "Mama?"

Naoki glanced at Frosty and replied, "I'm going to participate in a Pokémon battle competition later, but I'm still short of one Pokémon. I don't know who to send out."

Hearing this, Frost Milk Fairy's eyes lit up and she immediately said, "Mama!"

It! It can also participate in the battle!

Hmm? Seeing the appearance of Frosty Milk Fairy, Naoki was slightly stunned: "Do you want to participate?"

"Mama!" Frost Fairy's eyes became the same as her bear apprentice's, full of perseverance.

It is now also a very powerful Pokémon!

This was a situation that Naoki had never imagined.

Let Frosty the Milkman appear in the royal battle?

But Frostmilk's battle depends entirely on luck... If it can't perform a good move with its finger swing, it will most likely be eliminated by the other three opponents in the first round.

Noticing Naoki's hesitant expression, Frosty Milk Fairy puffed up her cheeks and looked angry, but Naoki didn't believe it!

"Mama!"

Frost Fairy cried out angrily and turned her head away with a snort.

"..."

"Okay, okay, I didn't say you can't participate." Naoki quickly comforted.

It's no big deal to let Frosty participate, since we have Farfalle and Oliva to back us up.

If all else fails, there are still the legendary Pokémon on the World Tree that can help.

"In that case, I'll have to ask you for help when the time comes, Frosty Milk Fairy!" Naoki said.

"Mama?" As expected, upon hearing this, Frost Fairy immediately turned around and looked over.

"Of course it's true." Naoki nodded.

Now Frost Fairy was satisfied.

"Mama!"

It cried out happily, with an expression full of fighting spirit on its little face.

It will definitely help Naoki win!
Naoki breathed a sigh of relief quietly.

In this way, the lineup for the royal battle is decided.

I looked at the time and it was already two o'clock in the afternoon.

The ranch has been cleaned and it is time for them to return to the Padiya area.

But before that, Naoki plans to go to the Royal Dome first.

*
An hour later, on Akala Island, Naoki was walking slowly on the spacious Royal Avenue.

Located in the central area of ​​Akala Island, the road is paved around the popular Royal Dome, with various shops and facilities lined up on both sides.

There are Pokémon Centers, Malasada stores, Super Value supermarkets, Pokémon Fan Clubs, and even a park filled with pink flowers.

Trainers with various Pokémon walked in groups of three or four on the Royal Avenue. In addition, there were many tourists and local residents who came here to watch the royal battle.

The voices of humans and Pokémon are constantly intertwined, and the lively atmosphere is everywhere.

"That large stadium in front should be the Royal Dome." Naoki stopped to watch and couldn't help but exclaimed, "It's really spectacular!"

The entrance gate of the Royal Dome is an automatic door in the shape of a red and white ball. When pedestrians approach, the door will open automatically.

After passing through the door, you officially enter the hall, which is the place used to receive contestants and register.

The electronic screen in the hall was covered with banners and photos of star players, and Naoki saw the famous Royal Masked Man, Professor Kukui from the Alola region.

At this time, a female receptionist came forward and asked in a friendly manner:

"Hello, sir, how can I help you?"

Naoki turned his eyes away from the photo of Dr. Kukui and said:
"Hello, I have registered my Royal Battle player information online before, and today I want to learn about the rules of the battle.

"I see!" the female receptionist invited, "Then please come over here and I'll introduce you."

"Thanks for your hard work!"

The two came to a reception room. After the receptionist confirmed Naoki's identity through the computer, a smile appeared on his face:
"Welcome, Mr. Naoki. I am the receptionist Vivian. Now let me introduce you to the rules of the Royal Battle."

"Unlike other regions' battle facilities, the Royal Battle mainly adopts a points system. You can get a certain number of points for each Royal Battle you win. When you accumulate 10 points, you can advance to the next stage."

"We currently have four stages, namely general, super, advanced, and master, and the points required for each stage are different."

"In addition, our competition time is not fixed. If you want to participate, you need to register in advance. We will arrange opponents for you and then inform you of the time and venue of the competition."

"Since this is your first time participating, you can only start from the general level."

Naoki nodded. This rule is very similar to the ranking points system in boxing matches.

"Well, here is your ranking." Vivian sent a web link using her Rotom phone.

Naoki clicked on it and logged in, then saw his current points and ranking on it.

[Player code: Wing King
Level: General

Points: 0 (10 points or more will advance you to the super segment)
Ranking: 250]

Naoki: "..."

Why does this ranking feel like an insult?

He carefully checked the rules and prizes and found that the rewards for the royal battle were quite generous.

Every time a player wins a game, he will receive a certain amount of bonus. At the beginning, it is only 2000 or 3000. In the later super stages, the bonus will increase to five figures.

And if one reaches the master level, the prize money for just one match would be as high as hundreds of thousands, not to mention star players like the Royal Masked Man.

Looking at the zeros and zeros behind the string of numbers, Naoki couldn't help but click his tongue.

As expected, Pokémon battles are still the mainstream in this world!
The first master level is the Royal Masked Man. Naoki noticed that if he defeated him, he would be rewarded with a certificate for the pilgrimage to the islands.

As long as they have that certificate, outsiders can participate in the local island tour and obtain various opportunities and treasures, including but not limited to Z pure crystals and Z bracelets.

Naoki's eyes were filled with enthusiasm. He immediately said to Vivian, "Please help me sign up. I want to participate in the competition!"

"Okay." Vivian immediately started operating the computer.

After a long while, she finally spoke: "I have matched you with an opponent. Your first match will be held at the Royal Dome at 10 am tomorrow. Please attend on time."

*
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Naoki returned to the ranch.

He first went to the World Tree to bring Oliva back to the ranch, and then found Farfetch'd.

When it learned that Naoki needed its help, Onion Duck picked up the onion without saying a word and assumed a fighting stance.

Naoki: "..."

If Professor Oak saw Farfetch'd in its current state, he would definitely think it was a special form of Farfetch'd.

"Okay, then it depends on your performance tomorrow!"

"Profit~"

"Mama~"

"Gah!"

The three Pokémon said in unison that it was no problem.

Babu Tupo, Dragonite, and Motorcycle Lizard looked on with envy.

They also want to participate...

"Don't worry, we may need your help later." Naoki said.

After all, he had no idea how strong his opponents in the master-level royal battles were.

If they were all champion level, with Frost Milk Fairy and the others' current strength, they might not be able to handle it.

But there’s no point in thinking so much now, let’s just take it one step at a time!

Kanto region, Quartz Plateau.

As two completely different sounding bird calls pierced the sky, at this moment, all the trainers who were training on the road to championship raised their heads and looked towards the sky.

The next second, they saw two figures, one yellow and one blue, flying across the sky.

"Ah, those two Pokémon are...!" someone exclaimed.

Some people also recognize their names based on their appearance and looks.

"Could it be the legendary Pokémon Zapdos and Articuno?"

"How strange! Why would those two Pokémon suddenly appear in a place like this?"

"I don't know, let's go after it and see! Maybe this is a good opportunity to capture a legendary Pokémon!"

A group of trainers from the Kanto League began to take action.

The Zapdos and Articuno in the sky were flying forward at high speed with focused expressions.

The purpose of their trip is to catch the flamingos that live on this plateau.

The lightning bird flies at an extremely fast speed. Thunderclouds roll wherever it passes, and bursts of thunder can be heard in the sky.

Articuno, who was following behind, was shocked by this scene.

This guy's strength has far surpassed theirs!
What on earth did it encounter? Was it because of that so-called human? Articuno couldn't help wondering.

The price of becoming stronger is to sacrifice one's own feathers...

Articuno didn't care much about this kind of thing. It was just curious about what Zapdos had experienced.

So it left the Gemini Islands and chose to follow the Zapdos to the "sacred tree" it mentioned.

At this moment, a familiar breath suddenly came from the front.

Articuno's thoughts returned to reality.

It looked up together with Zapdos and saw a bird Pokémon with fiery red feathers, a sharp and straight beak, a streamlined crown and a flaming tail flying into the sky.

Its body is covered in orange flames, and countless sparks flash when its wings flap. The red flames among them have a heart-stirring beauty.

That's... Moltres!

Just as they could feel the breath of Moltres, Moltres also sensed their arrival in advance and appeared here to meet them!

"Oh hoo~"

Moltres narrowed its eyes and kept looking at the other two birds opposite.

On the Quartz Plateau, human trainers riding flying Pokémon have caught up.

They stood there, looking up at the three legendary bird Pokémon in the sky, expressions of shock on their faces.

Not only Articuno and Zapdos, but even Moltres appeared!
*
The next morning, after finishing his work on the ranch, Naoki rode his Gulden to the Alola region.

When he arrived at the ranch, Kachi was already waiting there obediently.

When he saw Naoki, Kachi immediately greeted him: "Good morning, Mr. Naoki!"

"Hello, Kachi." Naoki rolled off Gulden and began to introduce Kachi to the work that needed his help.

"Except in winter, I don't stay here on weekdays, so the things in the house need someone to help clean them regularly and put them in the sun to dry to prevent mold."

"Of course, you don't have to do this every day. It's fine to come once every week."

"Besides these, there is nothing else. If you can do this, I will transfer your monthly salary to you using the Rotom phone."

"No problem!" Kachi nodded quickly. This kind of work was very easy for him.

"Okay, then you get familiar with this place first. I have something else to do and I'll contact you later." Naoki said.

The time is almost up for him to go to the Royal Dome for his first competition.

"Okay!" said Kachi.

Naoki nodded, then left and flew straight to the Royal Dome.

After registering his player information, he received an ordinary mask to conceal his identity and a set of clothes specially used for the royal battle.

After changing his clothes, Naoki asked Gulden to wait for him backstage while he walked alone along the passage and onto the square arena.

I don’t know if it’s because the battle level is too low, but there weren’t many spectators for this match.

There were a few people sitting scattered in the audience, and they looked like they were just there to join in the fun.

Naoki took a look and didn't pay too much attention to it. Instead, he turned his gaze to the other three passages.

There stood his three opponents in this battle.

"Hello, big brother! I'm Jake the Shorts Boy. Are you new here? I will definitely not show any mercy!"

"What about me? I'm Miniskirt Yuchen. Don't underestimate me just because I'm young! I'll show you how powerful my Pokémon is!"

"Hehe, Yanmei won't admit defeat! Although Yanmei is only in kindergarten now, I have already cultivated a very powerful Pokémon! Baby Pi, let them see how powerful we are!"

A little girl dressed as a kindergartener said with full of fighting spirit.

Seeing this scene, Naoki was stunned for a moment.

Now he finally understood why there were so few spectators for this match...

Damn, this is the baby cup special!
Fortunately, he did not ask Giratina and Rayquaza to help.
