Gourmet master of the Pokemon world

As Robert 3 announced, "The match begins!", both Pokémon made their moves simultaneously.

Alain commanded Charizard and Tyranitar, "Charizard, Dragon Claw; Tyranitar, Stomp!"

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

The two Pokémon roared and launched their attacks on Salamence and Aggron respectively.

Charizard's claws were enveloped in Dragon-type energy, transforming into giant claws as it charged towards Salamence.

Salamence naturally wouldn't passively take the hit, also launching Dragon Claw to meet the attack.

Tyranitar lifted its foot and stomped heavily on the ground, causing sharp rock spikes to erupt from the earth and shoot towards Aggron.

After Mega Evolution, Aggron's Ground-type weakness changed from four times to two times, but it was still vulnerable to Ground-type moves.

However, its new ability (Filter) reduced the power of super effective moves by a quarter.

Facing Tyranitar's attack, Aggron showed no fear, launching a Body Press and charging fiercely towards Tyranitar.

Body Press calculates damage based on Defense; the higher the Defense, the higher the damage.

After Mega Evolution, Aggron's Defense stat reached a staggering 230. Among all Pokémon, only Eternamax Eternatus (250) could surpass it.

Therefore, Super Aggron could maximize the potential of the Body Press move.

As expected, the rock spikes Tyranitar launched were shattered by Aggron in a single clash, and it continued to charge towards Tyranitar with unstoppable momentum.

Facing Aggron, Tyranitar naturally wouldn't admit defeat. These two Pokémon were the type to fight over territory in the wild.

Even without Alain's command, Tyranitar launched Fire Punch to meet the attack.

Bang!!!!

Accompanied by a loud crash, the two behemoths collided, and the powerful shockwave nearly blinded the audience.

"Aggron~~" Aggron stomped its feet heavily on the ground, exerting force to flip Tyranitar over.

Evidently, Aggron had gained the upper hand in this exchange, excitedly waving its claws to demonstrate its strength to the audience.

At the same time, Salamence and Charizard, fighting in the air, had also determined a victor.

Bang~ Another loud crash, Charizard slammed heavily onto the ground, creating cracks in the battlefield.

Fortunately, the arena was reinforced with special materials, or it would have collapsed.

"Roar!!!!" Salamence roared to the sky, declaring its victory to everyone.

Seeing both Pokémon at a disadvantage, Alain frowned, ultimately choosing to buff them.

"Charizard, Swords Dance! Tyranitar, Dragon Dance!"

Hearing Alain's command, a ring of blue light swords immediately appeared around Charizard, spinning rapidly.

Tyranitar, on the other hand, tiptoed and began to dance a mysterious dance intensely and heroically.

Salamence and Aggron naturally didn't hesitate to try and stop them!

Salamence directly launched a Normal-type ultimate move—Hyper Beam—charging towards Charizard.

After Mega Evolution, Salamence's ability changed to Aerilate, similar to Pixilate, which meant that using Normal-type moves would change them into Flying-type moves.

Hyper Beam had a power of 150. With STAB (Same-type attack bonus, 1.2x), coupled with Mega Salamence's powerful Attack stat, this attack was incredibly powerful.

Seeing Salamence approaching, Charizard naturally hurried to dodge, strengthening itself as it flew.

But Salamence pursued relentlessly.

At the same time, Aggron continued to use Body Press to attack Tyranitar, who was also strengthening itself.

Body Press was a Fighting-type move, four times super effective against Tyranitar. Tyranitar dared not take it head-on during the strengthening process, so it quickly dodged while dancing.

Despite Tyranitar's bulkiness, its Speed was slightly faster than Aggron's. For a time, Aggron couldn't catch up.

Charizard's situation, however, was the opposite. How could Charizard's Speed possibly compare to Salamence's, especially while it was strengthening itself?

It was Stone Edge.

However, at this moment, Tyranitar happened to complete its strengthening. It waved its fists, launching Fire Punch, left and right, shattering the rocks.

After a round of Dragon Dance, Tyranitar's Attack and Speed had significantly increased. It launched a counterattack towards Aggron again.

It moved quickly, slamming its fiery fists.

Just as Aggron was about to meet the attack, something flew over from behind Tyranitar, knocking Tyranitar to the ground.

Aggron looked closely. Who else could have flown over but Charizard?

At this point, Charizard had already lost its ability to fight and had reverted from its Mega Evolved form.

There was no way around it. Among the four Pokémon on the field, Salamence had an overwhelming level advantage. It wouldn't be a problem for it to fight three at once, let alone just Charizard.

The knocked-down Tyranitar got back up, shaking its dizzy head, then froze because it sensed a powerful aura locking onto it from above.

"Roar!!!!" Salamence roared and swooped down. Dragon Claw was activated, slamming down with a claw.

Before Tyranitar could react, its eyes rolled back, and it fell to the ground, unable to get up.

Aggron: . . .

Wait, how could this happen?! I haven't had enough fun yet!

Seeing that Charizard and Tyranitar had both fallen, Salamence reverted from its Mega Evolved form, turning around handsomely and flying into the glass enclosure, leaving everyone with a back view.

So cool! The audience thought in unison.

Damn it, he showed off! Seeing this, Aggron also reverted from its Mega Evolved form and entered the glass enclosure grumbling.

I'm never teaming up with an old guy again. No fun at all, and all the limelight was stolen!

Because Salamence won so decisively, everyone didn't react for a while, causing the scene to be quiet for a long time until Robert 3's voice rang out.

"Charizard and Tyranitar are unable to battle. The Wanwu Gym wins, the challenger has failed!"

Hearing this, everyone was boiling again.

Too strong! Too strong! Is this the demeanor of the Elite Four?

On the field, Alain's face changed again and again. He didn't expect to lose so quickly and so decisively. The opponent didn't even have a trainer commanding.

Is my gap with him that big?

For a time, Alain was somewhat depressed and walked off the stage in a daze.

At this time, Ange saw that it was getting late, so he got up from the VIP seat and continued with the next process.

"The challenge ends here. If anyone else wants to challenge, they can come in the afternoon. A free challenge session will be held here in the afternoon. At that time, everyone can go on stage to challenge as they please. As long as the challenge is successful, you can still get a badge."

The process after the challenge was a fixed routine and not complicated. It ended right around 12:00 noon.

After it was over, Anji said to everyone, "To thank you all for coming to participate in the opening ceremony, the dojo's cafeteria will be open for free today at noon, and everyone can eat whatever they want.

But no wasting! If I find anyone wasting food, I don't think you'll want to know what will happen."

Hearing Anji's words, everyone was filled with anticipation.

The Snorlax House was already well-known, and everyone knew it was Anji's business.

The food at the Snorlax House was so delicious, surely the cafeteria at the Wanwu Dojo wouldn't be bad either, right?

With everyone full of anticipation, the Azumarills led them to the cafeteria for lunch.

After that, Anji beckoned the Champion, Elite Four, Professors, Ash and his group, as well as Ayaka and others, saying, "Alright, everyone must be hungry, let's go have lunch too!"

They didn't go to the dojo's cafeteria to join in the fun with everyone else, but instead followed Anji back home, where Anji personally cooked a meal to entertain them.

Professor Sada said with a smile, "Finally, I can eat Anji's delicious food again, I really miss it!"

Professor Turo said, "Tell me about it, I wonder how much of Anji's skill Peper inherited!"

They often ate Peper's cooking, but it was said that Anji's cooking skills had improved even more compared to before.

Hearing this, Peper said, "I'm still far from Anji!"

Anji patted him on the shoulder and said, "Work hard, and one day you'll catch up to me."

"Yeah, I will definitely work hard!" Peper nodded vigorously.

Lillie and the others were visiting Nibel Plateau for the first time, and had never eaten Anji's cooking before, so they were all looking forward to it.

Under Anji's leadership, the group returned to Nibel Plateau from the dojo, and Anji personally made a table full of sumptuous lunch for everyone.

Because today was a special day, Anji used all his skills, and the ingredients used were the best.

The table was full of dishes, and everyone ate with greasy mouths.

Ayaka said excitedly, "I didn't expect that I would have the opportunity to eat with so many Champions, Elite Four, and famous professors, I'm really honored, thanks to Anji.

Come, I'll toast everyone! And also toast Anji!"

Saying that, she raised the juice in her hand.

Everyone was happy today, so Anji took out a few bottles of the Passimian's treasured wine to invite everyone to drink together, but the ladies and children all drank juice.

Professor Turo raised his glass and said, "Thanks to Anji, we are very honored to be able to meet Professor Oak and Professor Geeta today!"

"That's right." Professor Sada echoed her husband, raising her juice, "Come, let's toast everyone, and also toast Anji."

Professor Oak smiled and said, "It's fate that everyone can gather here today to drink and chat, let's also toast to fate!"

"To fate!"

"To Anji!"

Everyone raised their glasses (juice) one after another.

Everyone ate, drank (juice), and chatted together, and the atmosphere was very lively.

After lunch, everyone agreed to visit Nibel Plateau together.

Similarly, the dojo was also very lively. After lunch, the trainers scrambled to participate in the free challenge.

They were afraid of losing face in the previous formal challenge, so they were embarrassed to participate.

Now that the free challenge was without the presence of big shots like the Elite Four and Champions, the atmosphere became much more relaxed, and everyone had no more scruples.

Although all the challenges failed, they all felt that they had gained great training.

At this time, Anji didn't know that more and more trainers would come to challenge the Wanwu Dojo in the future, and they would come from all over the world.

Because the Pokémon that the Wanwu Dojo used in battle were of various types, with diverse combat styles, and all were powerful, gradually everyone no longer regarded obtaining a badge as the purpose of the challenge, but instead regarded the Wanwu Dojo as a place dedicated to special training and testing their own strength.

Of course, this also indirectly benefited those Pokémon on Nibel Plateau who longed for strength and battle, such as Aggron, Feraligatr, Excadrill, Tyrunt, Ceruledge, etc.

They also regarded the challengers as training objects, and engaged in a large number of battles with the challengers every day. In addition, with the various stat-boosting delicacies provided by Anji, their strength advanced by leaps and bounds.

Happy times are always short-lived. In the blink of an eye, a day passed, and it was finally time for everyone to say goodbye again.

As the sun set, Anji used the psychic power of the Claydol to send the guests home one by one.

They were also brought to Nibel Plateau in this way before.

The first to leave were Professor Oak, Professor Geeta, Cynthia, and Caitlin.

Except for Caitlin, the others were all regulars of Nibel Plateau, and they left without any nostalgia.

"Anji, see you tomorrow," Professor Oak said.

Anji waved with a smile, "See you tomorrow, Professor."

Next to leave were Diantha and Siebold, Drasna and Wikstrom, these Champions and Elite Four members.

Then came Ayaka.

"Anji, I will come to challenge again if I have the opportunity, I hope to get the Wanwu Badge next time!" Ayaka stretched out her palm to Anji.

"Then I wish you good luck." Anji smiled and gave Ayaka a high five.

At this time, they both didn't know that in the future, the Wanwu Dojo's badge would become a proof of a trainer's strength, and everyone would be proud to get the Wanwu Dojo's badge.

There was no other way, who made the Wanwu Dojo later known as the most difficult dojo to challenge!

After sending Ayaka away, Anji then sent away Clemont, Bonnie, Serena, and Ash and his group.

"Clemont, Bonnie, you are always welcome to visit Nibel Plateau again. If you want to come, you can call me at any time, and I will have the Claydol pick you up."

"Okay, goodbye, Mr. Anji! My brother and I will come to see you again!" Bonnie waved vigorously to Anji, holding her brother's hand and walking into the ring.

"Ash, don't neglect training when you return to Alola, and you are also welcome to come back at any time."

Ash nodded, "Mr. Anji, I will not slack off, I will also come to challenge the Wanwu Dojo when I have time."

After saying that, he took several classmates back to Alola.

Finally, the ones who said goodbye were Professor Sada, Professor Turo, and the Peper family.

Looking at the ring leading to Paldea in front of him, Professor Turo praised, "With this thing, it will be much more convenient for us to visit Anji in the future."

Professor Sada said, "Anji can also visit us at any time."

"That's right, that's right." Professor Turo nodded continuously.

Anji smiled and said, "Don't worry, Professors, I will definitely visit you often when I have time."

Peper said happily, "Anji, it's a deal."

Anji patted the back of his head and said, "It's a deal!"

Then the family of three held hands, shoulder to shoulder, and disappeared into the passage.
