Not a Trainer This Time

 Chapter 524 vs Royal Masked Man! Kukui: I fight Giratina?

"Congratulations, King Wing, this is your bonus for this game, please keep it!"

In the Royal Dome, Vivian pushed a check in front of Naoki.

Naoki glanced down and saw a bunch of zeros on it.

Vivian explained: “Due to your wonderful performance in recent days, the prize pool in your prize pool has accumulated to 300,000 yuan, which means that after every game you win, you can get more than 300,000 yuan. Alliance Coin Bonus.”

Naoki nodded to express his understanding, and then asked: "When can the next game start?"

"Eh?" Vivian was slightly startled: "Are you going to start the next game now?"

"Is there any problem?" Naoki asked.

"That's it." Vivian explained: "Because you won the qualifying round, you have now become a master player in our Royal Dome. As of now, there are only thirteen players in the entire Royal Dome. ”

"Because every battle at this level attracts much attention, and the news of your promotion has not yet spread. If there is a period of time, it may attract more fans and viewers."

"At that time, your popularity will increase significantly and your bonus will reach a higher level."

Naoki understood, but these bonuses were of little use to him now.

So he shook his head and said: "No, I want to start booking the next game."

Vivian was stunned for a moment, then nodded and said: "Okay, if that's the case, then I'll help you make arrangements."

Naoki said hello, and then checked his current ranking through Rotom's mobile phone.

[Player codename: Wing King

Level: Master

Points: 0 (You are already at the highest level and cannot be promoted further.)

Ranking: 13]

Overall, there hasn't been much change compared to before, but there is an additional ranking in the master tier.

1. Royal Masked Man

2.King of Karate

3.Laiyang Nanako

4. Fairy Messenger

…

9. Ethereum Foundation

10.Flower Dancer

"Sure enough, the number one person is the Royal Masked Man." Naoki murmured in his heart.

This also means that if he wants to get the certificate for visiting the islands, he has to play a few more games to raise his points to the first place.

By then, he will be able to achieve the purpose of his trip.

At the same time, in the Royal Dome.

A royal battle full of passion and blood has come to an end.

In the ring, the man wearing a mask and showing off his muscular body and his partner, the Blazing Roaring Tiger, successfully defeated three opponents.

They stood there, enjoying the cheers of the fans.

"Royal Masked Man!"

"Royal Masked Man!"

"Royal Masked Man!"

The sound was like an overwhelming sound, sweeping across the entire arena.

On the ring, Dr. Kukui, who transformed into a royal masked man, grinned as usual and praised: "Thank you for your hard work, Blazing Roaring Tiger!"

"Ouch!" Blazing Roaring Tiger crossed his arms and looked at the three Pokémon he had defeated with a cold expression on his face.

"It's so exciting!" Roger in the commentary box raised the microphone in his hand: "The battle between the Royal Mask and the Blazing Roaring Tiger is as exciting as ever! He is indeed the most popular and most powerful star player in the Royal Dome! "

The royal masked man grinned and responded to the fans' shouts.

At this moment, Roger floated down, handed another microphone to the royal masked man, and asked:

"Congratulations on winning this game, Royal Masked Player. Can I interview you?"

The royal masked man nodded cheerfully and said, "Of course."

"Great!" Roger asked instead: "Recently, a new member joined the Royal Dome. That person was promoted from the general level to the master level in less than a week."

"What's even more exaggerated is that he hasn't lost a single match from the beginning to now! What do the Royal Masked Players think about this?"

As soon as these words came out, the audience in the auditorium also stopped shouting because they were also very curious about this issue.

I saw the royal masked man taking the microphone and slowly speaking:

"I have also seen the King Tsubasa's game. He is very strong and he is very likely to become my strong rival!"

"Wow!" Roger immediately became excited: "It seems that the Royal Masked Players are very optimistic about King Wing! Now King King Wing has been promoted to the master level. I believe that in the near future, the two of them will be able to meet each other."

"Before that, does the Royal Mask player have anything to say to him?" Roger asked.

After hearing this, the royal masked man nodded and laughed loudly: "I am looking forward to that day."

*

"Let us congratulate player King Wing for successfully defeating three opponents and gaining three points!"

It’s another new day, and Naoki signed up for a new round of Royal Battle as usual.

Although he has advanced to the master level, the schedule has not changed much.

And according to Naoki's observation, the level of these master trainers is far from reaching the championship level, but hovering near the king.

After the battle, Naoki returned to the backstage and checked his current ranking through Rotom's mobile phone.

[Player codename: Wing King

Level: Master

Points: 9 (You are already at the highest level and cannot be promoted further.)

Ranking: 4]

In the three games in the past few days, he gained 9 points, and his ranking has successfully reached the fourth place in the Master Division.

"Congratulations, King Tsubasa, now you are only one step away from the first place." Before Naoki could speak, Vivian asked with a smile: "I have already matched you for the next game. opponent."

These days of getting along have given Vivian a certain understanding of this powerful and mysterious trainer.

For example, he came to the Royal Dome not for fame, nor for the prize money from the game.

Because Vivian discovered from observation that the Wing King players don't seem to be very interested in money, and they never manage their own fans.

You know, his sometimes fast and fierce and sometimes weird style of play has helped him attract a lot of viewers.

So far, Tsubasa King's popularity in the Royal Dome is second only to the long-famous Royal Masked Man.

It's a pity that the Wing King players always come straight to the battle every time.

From a certain perspective, he is truly a pure trainer.

Thinking of this, Vivian looked at the computer screen and continued: "Your next game is in prime time at seven o'clock tonight, come on!"

Naoki: "..." He hasn't spoken yet.

But he is already fourth, this should be his last game, right?

In this last game, which Pokémon should be sent to the stage?

Duck with green onions? Frosty Milk Fairy? Oliva?

Or should he send his main Pokémon on the field?

Naoki couldn't help but fell into deep thought.

If his guess is correct, he is very likely to meet the royal masked man tonight that he has never met before, which is Dr. Kukui in the anime.

But talking about Dr. Kukui reminded Naoki of something.

Unlike many trainers in the anime, Dr. Kukui does not show off his fellow Pokémon easily.

He only releases his Pokémon when necessary.

For example, large-scale battles, solving crises, or requiring Pokémon to assist in research.

As a doctor, Dr. Kukui naturally has many Pokémon around him. There were no less than six people who had impressions of Naoki alone.

Like the Warrior Eagle, Emperor Nabo, Lucario, Blazing Roaring Tiger, Big-billed Gull, Howling Whale, Bulbasaur, etc.

Among them, Dr. Kukui will only send out his own Blazing Roaring Tiger when he appears as the Royal Masked Man. This Pokémon has been kept secret from others, not even his wife Dr. Barnett knows about it.

If nothing else goes wrong, he will face Dr. Kukui's blazing roaring tiger tonight.

If that's the case, then send that Pokémon!

Naoki already had a suitable candidate in mind.

*

Seven o'clock in the evening, prime time in the Alola region.

Even before the game started, the Royal Dome was already packed with people.

Because many viewers have already received the news about the release of the Royal Dome in advance, there will be several star players competing tonight.

The Royal Masked Man, the King of Karate, Nanako Raiyo, and the Wing Daiou player who won consecutively from the Normal Division to the Master Division without losing a game in between!

The seats around the ring were packed, and the cheers from the audience echoed throughout the arena.

They loudly shouted the names of the star players they supported and waved the support sticks in their hands. The atmosphere was ignited and the entire atmosphere was pushed to a new climax.

"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to today's battle royal!"

Roger took the lead on the lift.

He held the microphone in his hand and looked excitedly at the crowded auditorium, his voice full of fiery passion:

"I believe everyone has already known in advance that there will be four star players in today's game! Haha, this is really a rare event!"

"Oh!" A burst of cheers erupted from the audience.

"Okay, without further ado, I believe everyone can't wait to watch today's fierce battle!" Roger continued: "First of all, let's invite our first contestant to the stage!"

"Kakaka!"

Above the ring, a row of spotlights lit up neatly, illuminating the straight entrance passage.

A man wearing a loose fighting suit, with a sophisticated and calm temperament, who looked very reserved and low-key slowly walked out.

The man walked to the ring, and with a flash of white light, an extremely large iron palm warrior with a height of more than two meters and three meters suddenly landed on the ring.

"Wow! It's the Iron Palm Rikishi from the King of Karate!" Roger exclaimed: "I can already imagine the Iron Palm Rikishi defeating his opponent with powerful fighting skills after having his belly bulging! It's really exciting!"

The Karate King crossed his arms, looked at the camera and nodded.

"Then let's invite a second contestant!"

"Kakaka!"

Another row of spotlights lit up.

Immediately afterwards, a young, cute-looking girl with short hair and a beret on her head jumped out of the passage.

"Everyone! Long time no see!"

The girl blew a kiss towards the audience and the camera, and then threw her elf ball.

"Come out, my mate!"

With a flash of white light, a mushroom Pokémon with a large, light-colored, and warty elf ball-like mushroom cap and a huge gray stem-like body appeared on the battlefield.

The Pokémon's eyes were very fierce, its arms resembled red and white balls, and its big pink mouth pouted.

"Wow! Contestant Nanako's Aphrodisiac has appeared! I'm really worried about the other players! Ah, I don't know why, but I feel dizzy when I see Aphrodisiac, a Pokémon..." As he spoke, Luo Jay touched his forehead with his left hand, as if he was really uncomfortable.

Seeing this scene, the audience in the auditorium burst into laughter.

Many people sitting here today know that player Nanako looks very cute, but her way of playing with the exposed mushroom is very dirty.

Such a sense of contrast has attracted her many fans.

"Okay, okay, just kidding everyone, let's invite the third contestant to come on stage!" Roger said loudly.

"Kakaka!"

The spotlight in the third row turned on instantly.

Under the light, a man with a bare upper body and a horn mask slowly walked out of the entrance passage.

Seeing this scene, the audience at the scene shouted in unison.

"Royal Masked Man!"

"Royal Masked Man!"

“…”

The man known as the Royal Masked Man heard the fans shouting and a smile appeared on his face.

He walked to the ring and threw his Poke Ball.

Along with a flash of white light, a

The sturdy Pokémon with a muscular body, fiery red fur, and a flame belt around its waist appeared in front of everyone's eyes.

"Wow! It's the Royal Masked Man and his Blazing Roaring Tiger! This is really surprising! I didn't expect the Royal Masked Man players to also participate in today's game!" Roger pretended to be surprised.

"I believe you don't need me to introduce this player, right? A star player who has been ranked number one in the Masters division all year round! The previous winning streak holder! He and his Blazing Roaring Tiger used their strong strength to defeat countless Challenger, so far, no one has been able to take away the top spot!”

"As for why I say the previous one...it has something to do with our next contestant!"

At this point, Roger paused deliberately.

"Everyone should have heard something more or less recently. The Royal Dome welcomed a powerful player. Not only did he win all the way to the Masters level, but he also broke the 20-game winning streak of the Royal Masked player. winning streak!”

"I believe everyone wants to know who that is, so now, let us invite the King of Winning Streaks and the player in hot form, King Tsubasa, to appear!"

"Kakaka!"

As the last row of spotlights came on, the entire stadium erupted into an overwhelming cheer.

In that voice, a tall figure with a mask on his face slowly walked out of the entrance passage.

Seeing that person, the Royal Masked Man, Raiyo Nanako, and the Karate King all cast their gazes in that direction.

Naoki slowly walked to the ring and stood in his own place.

He reached out and picked a red and white ball from his waist.

Seeing this scene, Roger shouted excitedly:

"Wow! Wing King player is about to send out his Pokémon! I don't know who King Wing King will send out in this crucial game!"

"Will it be the weird Frost Milk Fairy? Or the extraordinary green onion duck? Or the powerful Oliva?"

All the audience at the scene were attracted by these words.

Everyone wants to know which Pokémon the King Wing player will send out to fight.

Under the spotlight, the Winged King player was seen slowly picking up his Poké Ball.

However, just when he was about to throw the elf ball, something unexpected happened.

A burst of purple ripples suddenly rippled through the air.

Immediately afterwards, a huge dragon-shaped figure full of destructive aura crossed the void, appeared from above King Wing, and descended into the real world.

That Pokémon landed in front of the Wing King player, and it seemed to be the Wing King player's Pokémon.

That Pokémon is...!

Roger couldn't help but let out an exclamation and sat up on the spot.

He spoke the Pokémon's name quickly.

"Oh my God! It's Giratina! Player Tsubasa King actually sent Giratina to fight!"

Looking at the dragon-shaped figure full of destructive aura, the audience gasped in unison. At this moment, the whole audience was shocked!

Only Naoki froze on the spot, his hand that threw the Poké Ball paused slightly, and a big question mark appeared above his head.

Naoki: "?"
