Pokémon: Gyarados Evolution

When Jon returned to the contestant village, it was already late at night.

The competition was scheduled for the day after tomorrow. He just learned that there were 12 people participating in the preliminaries. The schedule was divided into two days, and a 3VS3 battle would be held every day.

If you can win both battles, you can directly advance and become a formal contestant in the championship.

For those who lose a battle, the points system is used for judgment. In each battle, the judges will score the performance of each Pokémon, and these scores will be announced to the public.

Just as he was thinking about these things related to the game, Kukui suddenly opened the door and walked in. Seeing this, Jon glanced at him unhappily and said, "Fortunately, I haven't taken off my clothes yet, otherwise I would have lost a lot."

"What's the big deal? At most, I'll let you see it back."

Kukui replied nonchalantly, but he also felt that the topic seemed a bit far-fetched, so he hurriedly pulled a stool and sat down, and asked seriously:

"What is President Hanoi's attitude towards the Alola region?"

"Teacher and Daigo haven't come back yet, so what I say doesn't count."

Jon shook his head helplessly. He knew in his heart that he could only help to connect and build relationships in this regard.

"Okay, let's go, let's go for supper?"

Kukui didn't seem very disappointed. After all, with Mura and Daigo coming forward, he was still quite confident that he could get things done.

"You asked Barnett to go with you, why are you dragging me over there?"

Jon didn't want to be a light bulb and eat their dog food. He had long noticed that the relationship between Kukui and Barnett seemed to have become much closer.

"Barnett is accompanying Ferome Mantis and refuses to leave no matter what."

Kukui said while shaking Jon's shoulders, with a flattering expression on his face, trying to persuade Jon to go with him.

"Jon, someone is looking for you."

Just when Jon was struggling with whether to go to eat supper with Kukui, Ayumi pushed open the door, glanced at the two of them, and said unhappily.

"Who?" Jon said puzzledly.

"Tetsuya." Ayumi responded lightly.

"Right away."

Jon responded. He had only heard about his name in the afternoon. Now he came so quickly. I guess they also knew his subsequent arrangements.

Or maybe he was his opponent.

After Jon went downstairs, he found that Ishida was there too.

"Captain Ishida, Tetsuya, long time no see."

Jon greeted them warmly and led them to the sofa nearby.

Fortunately, Hanoi gave him a small villa, which was spacious and quiet, so he had enough space to receive these guests.

"Don't, you are the captain now, the king-level trainer of the league."

Ishida said with a smile, straightened his clothes, and sat down slowly.

From his expression and actions, there was no sign of any unhappiness. He only sincerely recognized Jon's current achievements.

"You know it too?"

Jon frowned slightly, with a hint of tentative doubt in his eyes, and asked softly.

"Yes, we all hope to become members of the team with you. Don't worry, Jon, there will only be one voice in this team, my captain."

Ishida looked Jon's eyes firmly, and his sincere attitude dispelled all the doubts in Jon's heart.

Listening to Ishida's words, Jon no longer put on airs, and calmly accepted this new identity with a relieved smile on his face.

"I have no experience at all. Maybe the president transferred you here for this consideration?"

Jon said self-deprecatingly, saying that he was still a novice in leading a team.

"Jon, shall we go out and pack some food?"

Kukui winked at Jon at this time, and Jon sighed helplessly and said, "Okay, pack more."

"Then let's go see your Pokémon. I'm curious, which of your Pokémon entered the King first, except for Jirachi."

Zheya said excitedly with a curious light in his eyes.

Everyone came to the courtyard together, and before Jon could stand firm, Ferome Mantis jumped over like a flash of lightning, showing intimacy, and hugged Jon tightly.

"That's right, Barnett is out. This place is not like Alola. Pokémon like you can't enter the city."

Jon said with emotion while gently touching Ferome Mantis's head. In his heart, he had long regarded Ferome Mantis as a Pokémon, not the Ultimate Beast that frightened the people of Alola.

"What is this?"Ishida and Tetsuya looked at the strange and unique Pokémon in front of them, their faces full of confusion, they had never seen Pheromone.

"Pheromone is an Ultimate Beast, and it is also the first one to be captured, but according to my observation, they are actually Pokémon and can also enter the Poké Ball."

Jon explained patiently with a hint of pride on his face.

"You have had many adventures in the past two years."

Tetsuya smacked his lips, his eyes full of envy, thinking that Jon's luck was too good.

"Go."

Jon ignored Tetsuya's mumbling, waved his hand, and released all the large Pokémon from the Poké Ball. For a moment, the courtyard became lively, and all the main Pokémon of the members were surrounding him.

"Banguiras merged with the power of the comet, so it became what it is now. It is also because of the comet that it became a king-level."

Before Ishida and Tetsuya asked the questions in their hearts, Jon seemed to have guessed their thoughts and explained it first.

"The comet, is it because of Jirachi?"

Ishida frowned slightly, his eyes fell on Banguiras, and he analyzed while observing carefully.

"Yes, it is Jirachi. Now the two Pokémon have a kind of companion relationship. Jirachi can't leave Banguiras."

Jon said, stretching his finger to Jirachi who was resting on Banguiras's huge head. Jirachi stayed there quietly, and the appearance of getting along with Banguiras was very harmonious.

"Tetsuya, are we opponents?"

Jon slowly sat on the grass, pulled up a grass and fiddled with it in his hand, raised his head and looked at Tetsuya.

"That's right, I can't beat you anyway, but fortunately, there is still a match where I can win by my own ability."

Zheye didn't look discouraged at all, but instead showed an open-minded attitude. After all, except for those who entered the league, no other trainer would agree to this request.

Of course, he didn't participate in the championship originally, after all, he became an investigator and didn't have time to arrange it himself.
