I became the strongest trainer in the Pokémon world

Although the number is small, it is like a great wave washing away the sand, selecting out the elites from across the country.

If you were to use two words to describe the national competition, “carnival” would be the most appropriate.

It is a carnival for all trainers below the King level!

"Don't worry, my goal in this national competition is to win the championship!"

There was an eager light in Xia Zhihai's eyes as he said this with great determination.

This is not just about any material rewards, but because the honor of standing on the national championship podium is the dream of every trainer!

This persistence and belief is a thousand times stronger than the love for e-sports in the previous life!

Because in this world, the status of the national champion is equally high!

"Well done, you are indeed a young hero who can defeat me!"

"In that case, I'll wait for you on the podium in the capital."

Seeing the determination in Xia Zhihai's eyes, Li He did not show any surprise, but was very relieved.

In his opinion, the young talent who could defeat him should have lofty ambitions and ideals.

Even more so, it is understandable to make a clear statement of position...

That’s right, take a stand.

When a king-level trainer is willing to sacrifice his rest time to present awards to the champion, this is an expression of his stance and a form of protection!

"Thank you!"

Xia Zhihai didn't need to say much. He thanked Li He and left.

Some emotions are better left hidden deep in your heart.

No matter how resolute the words are, without actual action, they are just empty talk!

"How? How exactly? Boy, did you win or lose?"

Seeing Xia Zhihai appear, Li Qianqian quickly approached and asked curiously.

"If you win, you'll be able to participate in the draw for the city preliminaries in a few days."

"But child, if you can't even get into the capital, it will be a disgrace to me as your father!"

Looking at Li Qianqian, Xia Zhihai gently ruffled her hair and said these words with deep affection in his eyes.

Seeing this scene, people who don’t know the truth would really think they are real father and daughter!

"Xia Zhihai, you are in trouble!"

Feeling the raging hand on her head, Xixi's hair instantly exploded...

About half an hour later, Xia Zhihai finally got rid of the embarrassed and angry Sissi.

He walked into the Elf Training Hall alone, which was a bit like the fitness center in his previous life.

"Hello, how can I help you? We have a beautiful instructor here~"

As soon as I entered the door, the front desk receptionist immediately gave a warm and formulaic introduction.

That kind of deliberately trained smile and stiff expression would never look so natural if one hadn't been doing it for a long time.

However, when the front desk receptionist saw Xia Zhihai's face, a light flashed in her eyes.

What a handsome man!

"Hello, I want a top-grade enclosed soundproof room."

Xia Zhihai made the request in a calm yet gentle tone.

"Okay, I'll arrange it for you right away."

The receptionist was obviously moved by Xia Zhihai's gentleness and after a moment's pause, he handled the business seriously.

It wasn't until Xia Zhihai left that she came to her senses.

"Wait, why does that handsome guy look familiar? I think I've seen him somewhere..."

Suddenly, she turned on her phone and browsed the website.

The homepage still has the video that remains popular... the highlight of Xia Zhihai's cross-level challenge.

In addition to the serious commentary version, there are also various ghost clips...

At the third place on the popular list, Xia Zhihai's name appeared in an obviously malicious title.

"Is this genius trainer still so calmly working hard on his training?"

Looking at this hotly debated topic two days ago, the receptionist couldn't help but express admiration for Xia Zhihai.

However, Xia Zhihai, who walked into the room at this time, was unaware of this.

"Come out, Vulcan Moth!"

"Mimi, Rogue Panda, Desert Dragonfly, Zeraora, Wood Gecko... all of you come out!"

Natsumi summoned all the spirits except Steelix for special training.

He paid special attention to Metagross and Vulcan Moth. After weighing the pros and cons, he walked up to Vulcan Moth, took out a piece of amethyst-like energy cube, and said, "Vulcan Moth, try it first and feel the difference."

Indeed, the reason why Xia Zhihai specially opened a separate room was, on the one hand, to allow Metagross to adapt to the process of MG evolution;

On the other hand, it is to test the effect of the giant energy cube.

"Budoo~"

The Vulcan Moth ate the two Gigantamax energy cubes without hesitation and burped.

When a blush appeared on its head, Xia Zhihai couldn't help but laugh.

No matter how powerful it becomes, it remains so cute!

At this moment, a raging fire suddenly ignited on the Vulcan Moth!

At first, red and white flames as hot as magma surged out!

Then, one side of the Vulcan Moth's wings burned with purple flames, and the other side burned with white flames.

Wrapped in these two completely different flames, the Vulcan Moth's aura continued to rise!

In an instant, the shackles of the secret champion that had been binding the Vulcan Moth were completely broken free!

An aura that surpassed that of the King of Heaven burst out from the Vulcan Moth!

"Sure enough, I made a breakthrough! I reached the champion level!"

Witnessing this scene, Xia Zhihai let out a breath and confirmed his judgment.

If he wasn't absolutely sure, Xia Zhihai would never feed the Vulcan Moth the giant energy cube in such a place.

But now it seems that the effect is quite ideal!

Although the system data was unclear, with only the level numbers changing except for the two unknown question marks, as a trainer who had always been with Vulcan Moth and had never been separated from it, Xia Zhihai could sense Vulcan Moth's ongoing transformation very clearly!

The gift from Emperor Yan, the key to the door of legend, seemed to be tightly grasped by the Vulcan Moth at this moment!

But this is only a tiny glimmer of hope.

Not long after being promoted to the champion level, the white and purple flames on the Vulcan Moth gradually faded.

Instead, it was replaced by a unique flame inherited from the Phoenix's feathers, which turned into a blazing flame that burned like lava.

This new form of flame is superior to previous ones in terms of both temperature and burning intensity, and is more suitable for combat!

"This is probably why mortal bodies cannot easily reach the realm of God."

"Otherwise, even if you have it, you won't be able to control that kind of power!"

Seeing the Vulcan Moth constantly trying to control new forms of flame, Xia Zhihai felt a deep understanding in his heart.

He then turned his attention away from Vulcan Moth and focused on Metagross, which was capable of Mega Evolution.

Only by constantly familiarizing himself with and mastering Mega Evolution can Xia Zhihai ensure that he will no longer fail on Vulcan Moth and even the future Lizard King.

"Well then, Metagross, start Mega Evolution!"
