Not a trainer this time.

Chapter 655: The Visit of a Mysterious Person
Three days later, on a sunny afternoon, the Masters quarterfinals officially kicked off.

The first battle is between the Sinnoh region champion Sirona and the Kalos region's Dragon King Dorasena.

Unlike advanced-level matches, the quarterfinals abandoned the random match rules and adopted a three-on-three singles match mode.

The final four winners will advance to the semi-finals.

Naoki stayed at the ranch and watched the entire game with Gulton and the others.

Shirona started with Sea Slug and faced Doracena's Soundwave Dragon, and finally successfully defeated the Soundwave Dragon with the endurance strategy of Turbidity + self-regeneration.

But as expected, the seriously injured Selvamon was defeated by Dorasena's second Pokémon, Toxodes.

Then, Shirona sent out Milotic to fight against the Algae Dragon and successfully won the battle.

Facing Doracena's last mega Tanabata, Milotic performed very well and fought with Tanabata to the end, and both sides died.

As a result, all three of Doracena's Pokémon lost their ability to fight, and Sirona still had one Pokémon that had not yet appeared.

"Just as I expected, Sirona won the game." Naoki murmured.

With the end of the match, the first game of the quarterfinals also came to an end.

The next "strong rival" showdown between Dante and Chibana will start tomorrow.

Regarding this battle, Naoki had already seen through everything even before the game started.

There is no doubt that Chibana will lose the game, because as of now, Dandi's winning rate in various major competitions remains 100%.

What a terrifying winning rate.

But then again, the rules of the final are a 6v6 full battle.

Before that, he had to decide on the list of Pokémon that would appear.

In subsequent games, Naoki does not plan to continue to let Giratina and Kyurem appear, but instead prepares to use his own main Pokémon.

Mount Goat, Mount Goat, Mount Goat, Dragonite, Babu Tubo, and Gulton.

Currently in the ranch, excluding those legendary Pokémon, the strength of these Pokémon can be regarded as the main Pokémon he personally cultivated.

Even the Dan Emperor has the strength to fight.

But it seems too early to think about that now. The most important thing at the moment is to prepare for the battle with the Dragon Messenger Adu in six days.

"Hmm... Currently Mega Evolution and Dynamax are allowed in the World Championships, but Z-Moves and Taicrystalization don't seem to have spread yet, and they are not allowed by the rules of the competition," Naoki mused.

Dantei's super-giant Charizard, Sirona's mega Garchomp, Kaluni's mega Gardevoir, Daigo's mega Metagross, Chibana's gigantic Altanon, Adu's gigantic Dragonite...

The other players all have Mega Evolution and Gigantamax in their hands, but he only has Tai Crystallization and Z-Move, which he cannot use yet.

But it doesn’t matter, with his Pokémon here, no matter what kind of opponent it is, they will try their best to win the game!

Just as Naoki was thinking, his Rotom cell phone suddenly rang.

When I opened it, I found it was a message from Mewtwo.

[Mewtwo: Someone has come to the World Tree again. ]

Naoki: "?"

Have people from other worlds come to the World Tree through the Mysterious Maze?
Naoki was stunned for a moment, then quickly stood up and prepared to go over to see what was going on.

Last time it was Liu Bo, I wonder who it will be this time...

He quickly called Gulden and found Arceus's phone from the room. On the way to the World Tree, Naoki kept swiping the messages that popped up on Arceus' phone, trying to find out the identity of the person.

Arceus's phone records the information of all Pokémon, and every adventure they take in the maze world is fully recorded.

Over a long period of time, more than 99 pieces of information have been accumulated. Naoki has been browsing for a long time and finally found clues in the column of Meowth and Pikachu.

[On August 8, Meowth and Pikachu want to go see the outside world. ]

[On August 8, Meowth and Pikachu formed the Meowth Expedition Team. After handing over the work of the tavern to Tantan Mouse, they entered the time-space gate.]

[On August 8, the Meow Pi Expedition Team got lost in an incredible maze. At a four-way intersection, Pikachu decided to go left! ]

[On September 9, Meowth and Pikachu got lost and mistakenly entered World 17. ]

[On September 9, Meowth and Pikachu heard from the local Pokémon that there was a strange guy on the top of the mountain. Out of curiosity, the two Pokémon decided to go over and investigate.]

[On September 9, Meowth and Pikachu climbed to the top of Mount Silver, where they met Red who was practicing alone on the mountaintop. Red's Pikachu felt very kind to Pikachu and they quickly became friends, which surprised Red.]

[On September 9, through the super powers of Sol Eevee, Red learned the origins of the two Pokémon. Red Pikachu also told Meowth and Pikachu about their troubles in training here but never being able to make further progress.]

[On September 9, Meowth and Pikachu told Pikachu and Red about the World Tree and Naoki, as well as Mewtwo, Rayquaza, and Ho-Oh, the powerful legendary Pokémon, and invited Red and Pikachu to visit the World Tree together.]

[On September 9, in order to see the unknown realm, Chihong, whose strength had already reached its peak, decided to visit a place called the World Tree.]

[On October 10, Meow Meow and his party returned to the World Tree successfully.]

Naoki froze in place when he saw the familiar name on Arceus' phone screen.

It turned out to be him...!
Red! The legendary warrior, he has always been known as the strongest trainer in the Pokémon world.

In the game, once the player dominates all gyms and defeats the champion, he can go to the top of Silver Mountain to challenge Red.

At that time, the six Pokémon in Red's team had all reached the astonishing maximum level of 100!
Before he knew it, Gultun had arrived at the World Tree.

From a distance, Naoki saw the figure of a young man wearing a red hat and looking very taciturn in front of the Pokémon Guild.

When Meowth and Pikachu saw Naoki coming, happy expressions immediately appeared on their faces.

"Pikapi!"

Hearing the noise, Chihong turned his head.

For a moment, their eyes met.

Naoki: "..."

crimson:"……"

Naoki twitched his lips and said in his heart, "As expected."

Naoki was quite curious about this legendary figure in the Pokémon world. As the host, he tentatively greeted him.

"Welcome, Akahira." Naoki said.

crimson:"…………!"

Looking at Chihong's shocked face, Naoki felt like laughing.

But it goes without saying that Chihong should be shocked that he seemed to know him.

Seeing Akahina's reaction, Naoki was no longer nervous.

He walked forward with a smile and took the initiative to introduce the current situation to Chihong.

"As you can see, you have already left your world. This is another world, which can be called a parallel universe."

“……” Chihong was silent, as if he was thinking.

"And here is a place called the World Tree." Naoki said.

“…?!!”” Chi Hong suddenly raised his head and a look of astonishment flashed across his face.

Just by looking at his expression, Naoki could guess what he was thinking at the moment.

Red: A tree? So big?!
Naoki smiled slightly: "At first it was just the size of a small sapling. It was Pokémon and I who nurtured it to what it is today. In fact, this can be considered as the home that Pokémon and I share."

After hearing that the tree was planted by the man in front of him, Chi Hong: "......!!!"

"As for how I know you..." Naoki paused. Sure enough, the next second, Chihong cast his eyes on him.

Naoki pondered in silence. He was very curious whether Chihong would take the initiative to ask.

However, Chihong seemed to understand what he meant and returned to his previous silent self.

"..."

Naoki: "..."

crimson:"……"

Naoki: "..."

crimson:"……"

Naoki: "..."

"Okay!" Never mind, he was really convinced. Naoki was helpless: "As you can see, there is a passage on this tree that connects to other worlds. The Pokémon living here can go to those places and bring back information for me."

"I've heard of your name a long time ago, but I didn't expect you to be here today."

Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.

Chi Hong was silent, as if thinking: "..."

Naoki smiled and said, "But welcome to this world."

After saying that, Naoki stretched out his hand towards Chihong.

After hesitating for a moment, Chihong finally chose to stretch out his hand and shake hands with the other party.

Seeing this, Naoki smiled slightly.

"I know why you come here. You probably want to practice here, right?" Naoki suddenly asked again.

crimson:"……?!"

He seemed shocked at how this person knew everything.

"The Pokémon here are all my friends."

Since she was a guest invited back by Meowth and Pikachu, he did not intend to let Red leave. That would be too rude. Thinking of this, Naoki looked into Red's eyes and said to him:

"You can stay here and practice, but I have one condition. You are not allowed to force the Pokémon here to fight you. You can only fight Pokémon that are willing to fight you."

Chihong was slightly stunned.

His eyes quickly looked at the Pokémon around him. As a trainer, he could see the strength of those Pokémon.

There is no effect of training in fighting against them, so he naturally won't attack them.

Chihong was a little confused and finally chose to remain silent.

"..."

Naoki didn't say much. At this moment, he suddenly received a call from his sister Ai Guanshi, saying that Xiaoshu was crying and looking for his father.

After briefly explaining the situation, Naoki took Gulden away.

Only Chihong was left looking at the mysterious man's back in silence.

Meowth and Pikachu on the side happily waved goodbye to Naoki.

After Naoki's figure disappeared, they pulled the red Pikachu and prepared to take it to the Pokémon Tavern to have a drink first, and then go to the sushi restaurant to eat delicious sushi.

And the red Pikachu also discovered something.

The Pokémon that live here seem to be very friendly to outsiders.

It allowed itself to be pulled away by Pikachu and Meowth, and did not forget to turn around and ask Red to follow.

"Pikapi!"

Red finally came to his senses and noticed the lively group of Pokémon around him.

The atmosphere between Pokémon in this world seems to be very different from the world he lives in.

Here, even Pokémon of different races can live together.

However, what concerned Chihong more was what the mysterious man said about him being able to practice here.

His red eyes scanned the surrounding Pokémon, with no intention of fighting them at all.

After a moment of silence, he raised his foot and followed Pikachu, ready to take a look at this place where only Pokémon live.

But at this moment, a clear and melodious bird song suddenly came from above.

Red and Pikachu seemed to be connected in mind, and they keenly sensed the presence of a powerful Pokémon. They looked up at the same time.

Then, a beautiful Pokémon shining like a rainbow was seen slowly landing on the branches above.

crimson:"!!!"

At this moment, another dragon roar sounded from above, and the next second, a dark figure like a swimming dragon flew into the sky with a terrifying aura.

Chi Hong was stunned: "......!"

Those are...

Pikachu also noticed the two Pokémon at this time.

Seeing it stop, Meowth and Pikachu looked back, and then followed its gaze to look up at the sky.

Pikachu happily introduced: "Pikapi!" (That's Ho-Oh and Rayquaza, they are also our partners living on the World Tree!)

The red Pikachu was shocked. It thought of the mysterious man just now and couldn't help asking: "Pika Pika?"

Pikachu thought of Naoki putting everyone in the Poké Ball and nodded: "Pikachu~!" (That's right! We are all Naoki's Pokémon~!)
Red Pikachu: “……!!”

Pikachu looked up at Ho-Oh, and then said happily: "Pika~!" (Ho-Oh and the others will protect us too! Not only Ho-Oh, but also Rayquaza, Mewtwo, Groudon, Kyogre, they are all very powerful Pokémon!)
The red Pikachu was completely shocked this time.

According to what Pikachu said, wouldn't the strength of Mewtwo, Groudon, and Kyogre behind be the same as that of Ho-Oh and Rayquaza above?
Pikachu looked at it and said, "Pikachu? Pika Pika!" (Am I right? Practicing here will definitely make you stronger!)
Hearing this, the red Pikachu turned around and looked at his trainer.

The eyes of the man and the Pokémon met in mid-air.

The next second, Red understood what Pikachu meant.

The red eyes immediately became hot, he raised his head to look up, it turned out that this place could really help him practice!
At this moment, the mysterious man's words lingered in his ears, and he understood the meaning of what the other party had said before!
After returning to the ranch, Naoki was quickly attracted by the next few games.

On October 10, the second game of the quarterfinals officially began.

Dandi vs. Chibana, there is no doubt that Dandi won the game in the end.

October 10, the third game of the quarterfinals.

Daigo vs. Kalune, the final winner is Daigo. This result was also within Naoki's expectations. The power of Daigo's mega Steelix is ​​really terrifying.

On October 10, the fourth game of the quarterfinals, Naoki vs. Adu.

The competition was held at nine in the morning, and Naoki arrived at the venue early.

At the same time, in the Pokémon Tavern on the World Tree, a group of Pokémon surrounded Rotom, ready to watch Naoki's game.

"Awooo!" (Hurry up, Naoki's game is about to start!)
One by one, the Pokémon brought wooden stools, large stones, and large wooden stakes. They sat in a circle in the tavern hall, looking at the screen of Rotom's phone as if they were watching a movie.

Red, who noticed something was wrong, came in with Pikachu to find out the reason.

Soon, he saw a strange machine in front of the group of Pokémon.

Chihong had never seen such a machine before.
The machine seemed to be integrated with the Pokémon, and on the screen, the mysterious man he had seen before seemed to be participating in a competition.
