Chapter 514: Royal Battle Rankings, Moltres of the Quartz Plateau!
Naoki's comment on this is unnecessary.
Let's not talk about Ho-Oh for now. Once Rayquaza, Groudon and Kyogre appear, they will probably cause a big stir.
The sensation caused by Buddora and Giratina, two legendary Pokémon active on the Internet, will probably not be small.
As for Mewtwo...
As soon as it appears, it will probably be targeted by Team Rocket.
After thinking carefully, Naoki still refused the assistance of these legendary Pokémon.
Giratina seemed very regretful, because in this way, it missed a good opportunity to increase its fans.
The other legendary Pokémon didn't say anything, but Ho-Oh said that it could send the Ho-Oh Guard to help.
After seeing the news about Ho-Oh, Naoki thought carefully and then replied.
[Wing King: Is it Entei, Suicune and Raikou? ]
[Ho-Oh: Yes, the three of them are my messengers in this world. They have done many things for me and are very reliable Pokémon. 】
【Wing King: Where are they now? 】
【Ho-Oh: In the Johto region. 】
Naoki: "..."
Forget it. Although he really wants to meet Entei and the others, the Johto region is 800 feet away from Alola, and Entei and the others have no way to cross the sea, so they don't have time to come here to participate in the Royal Battle.
What's more, they are not familiar with each other.
Thinking of this, Naoki gave a reply.
【Wing King: Next time, I'm afraid it's too late this time. 】
【Ho-Oh: Okay, if you need it in the future, I can call the Ho-Oh Guards here to meet you. 】
Come here to meet the person it has chosen.
In the heart of the Ho-Oh, this human named Naoki has met the conditions to become the Rainbow Warrior.
It should let Entei and the others come to meet this new Rainbow Warrior.
At this time, Mewtwo also found Oliva who was sorting things out in the Pokémon Guild.
It used its Rotom phone to open a video with Naoki.
Soon, the video call was connected.
"Oliva, do you have time now? I have something I want to ask you for help." Naoki said, "I encountered something in the Alola region, and there are two battles to be carried out."
Oliva on the other side nodded happily and said, "Li~"
Seeing Oliva agreed, Naoki smiled and said, "Okay, I will go back to the ranch to pick you up in the evening."
"Li~"
Oliva nodded gently.
After hanging up the phone, Naoki wrote down Oliva's name.
One Pokémon is not enough. In order to be prepared for emergencies, Naoki felt that he had to prepare a few more, at least three.
Oliva is the first one, so the next one is still two.
With the current Pokémon in the ranch...
Some Pokémon figures flashed quickly in Naoki's mind.
Soon, a figure holding a green onion and a sturdy figure appeared in his mind.
Got it! Farfetch'd can also join the battle!
So, who should I choose for the remaining one?
And at this moment, Frostmilk suddenly ran in from outside.
Seeing Naoki in trouble, it jumped onto the sofa and asked, "Mama?"
Naoki glanced at Frosty and replied, "I'm going to participate in a Pokémon battle later, but I'm still short of a Pokémon. I don't know who to send out."
Hearing this, Frosty's eyes lit up and he immediately said, "Mama!"
It! It can also participate in the battle!
Hmm? Seeing Frosty's look, Naoki was slightly stunned: "Do you want to participate?"
"Mama!" Frosty's eyes became the same as the bear apprentice, full of perseverance.
It is now also a very powerful Pokémon!
This is a situation that Naoki has never imagined.
Let Frosty participate in the royal battle?
But Frosty's battle depends entirely on luck... If it can't shake out a good move with its finger swing, it is very likely to be eliminated by the other three opponents in the first round.
Noticing Naoki's hesitant expression, Frosty puffed up his cheeks and looked angry. Naoki didn't believe it!
"Mama!"
Frosty Milk Fairy yelled angrily and turned her head away angrily.
"..."
"Okay, okay, I didn't say I wouldn't let you participate." Naoki comforted her quickly.
It's no big deal to let Frosty Milk Fairy participate, anyway, there are Farfetch and Oliva to back it up.
If it doesn't work, there are still the legendary Pokémon on the World Tree to help.
"In that case, I'll have to ask you, Frosty Milk Fairy!" Naoki said.
"Mama?" Sure enough, Frosty Milk Fairy turned around and looked over when she heard this.
"Of course it's true." Naoki nodded.
Frosty Milk Fairy was satisfied now.
"Mama!"
It yelled happily, with a fighting spirit on its little face.
It will definitely help Naoki win!
Naoki breathed a sigh of relief quietly.
In this way, the lineup for the Royal Battle is decided.
Looking at the time, it is already two o'clock in the afternoon.
The ranch has been cleaned up, and it's time for them to return to the Padiya area.
But before that, Naoki plans to go to the Royal Dome first.
*
An hour later, on Akala Island, Naoki walked slowly on this spacious Royal Avenue.
This is located in the central area of Akala Island. The road is paved around the popular Royal Dome, and various shops and facilities are lined up on both sides.
Pokémon Center, Malasada Chain Store, Super Value Supermarket, Pokémon Fan Club, and even a park full of pink flowers.
Trainers with various Pokémon walk in groups of three or two on the Royal Avenue. In addition, there are many tourists and local residents who come here to watch the Royal Battle.
The voices of humans and Pokémon are constantly intertwined, and the atmosphere is lively everywhere.
"The large gymnasium in front should be the Royal Dome." Naoki stopped to watch and couldn't help but exclaimed: "It's really spectacular!"
The entrance gate of the Royal Dome uses a red and white ball style automatic door. When pedestrians approach, the door will automatically open.
Passing through the door, you will officially enter the lobby, which is used to receive players and register.
The electronic screen in the hall was covered with banners and photos of star players. Naoki saw the famous Royal Masked Man, Dr. Kukui from the Alola region.
At this time, a female receptionist came up and asked in a friendly manner:
"Hello, sir, is there anything I can help you with?"
Naoki moved his eyes away from Dr. Kukui's photo and said:
"Hello, I registered the player information for the Royal Battle online before, and today I want to learn about the rules of the battle.
"I see!" the female receptionist invited: "Then please come over here, I will introduce it to you."
"Thank you for your hard work!"
The two came to a reception room. After the receptionist confirmed Naoki's identity through the computer, a smile appeared on her face:
"Welcome, Mr. Naoki, I am the receptionist Vivian, and next I will introduce you to the rules of the Royal Battle. ”
“Unlike the fighting facilities in other regions, the Royal Battle mainly adopts a points system. You can get a certain number of points for each Royal Battle you win. When you accumulate 10 points, you can advance to the next stage.”
“Currently we have four stages, namely general, super, advanced, and master, and the points required for each stage are different.”
“In addition, our competition time is not fixed. If you want to participate, you need to register in advance. We will arrange opponents for you and then notify you of the time and venue of the competition.”
“Since this is your first time participating, you can only start from the general level.”
Naoki nodded. This rule is very similar to the boxing competition with a ranking points system.
“So, this is your ranking. "
Vivian sent a web link from her Rotom phone.
Naoki clicked on it and logged in, then saw his current points and ranking.
[Player code: Wing King
Level: General
Points: 0 (10 points to advance to the Super Division)
Rank: 250]
Naoki: "..."
Why does this ranking sound like an insult?
He carefully checked the rules and prize money, and found that the rewards for the Royal Battle were quite generous.
Players will receive a certain amount of prize money for each game they win. At the beginning, it is only 2,000 or 3,000. When they reach the Super Division, the prize money will increase to five digits.
And if they reach the Master Level , then the prize money for just one game is as high as hundreds of thousands, not to mention star players like the Royal Masked Man.
Looking at the zeros and zeros behind the string of numbers, Naoki couldn't help but smack his lips.
Sure enough, the mainstream in this world is still Pokémon battles!
The first master is the Royal Masked Man. Naoki noticed that if he defeated him, he would be rewarded with a certificate for the island tour.
As long as he has that certificate, outsiders can participate in the local island tour and obtain various opportunities and treasures, including but not limited to Z pure crystals and Z bracelets.
Naoki's eyes were full of enthusiasm, and he immediately said to Vivian: "Please help me sign up, I want to participate in the competition!"
"Okay." Vivian immediately operated on the computer.
After a long while, she said: "Your opponent has been matched. Your first game will be held at the Royal Dome Arena at 10 o'clock tomorrow morning. Please attend on time. ”
*
At four o'clock in the afternoon, Naoki returned to the ranch.
He first went to the World Tree to pick up Oliva and brought him back to the ranch, and then found Farfetch'd.
When Farfetch'd learned that Naoki needed its help, Farfetch'd didn't say a word, picked up the onion and took a fighting stance.
Naoki: "..."
If Professor Oak saw Farfetch'd's current appearance, he would definitely think it was Farfetch'd in a special form.
"Okay, then tomorrow it depends on your performance!"
"Li~"
"Mama~"
"Ga!"
The three Pokémon said in unison that it was no problem.
Bubblefoot, Dragonite, and Motorlizard looked on with envy.
They also wanted to participate...
"Don't worry, maybe we'll need your help later. "Naoki said.
After all, he didn't know how strong the masters' royal battle opponents were.
If they were all champions, with the current strength of Frost Milk Fairy, they might not be able to handle it.
But it's useless to think so much now, let's take it one step at a time!
Kanto region, Quartz Plateau.
Accompanied by two birds singing in completely different sounds that cut through the sky, at this moment, the trainers who were training on the road to championship all raised their heads and looked up at the sky.
The next second, they saw two figures, one yellow and one blue, passing through the sky.
"Ah, those two Pokémon are...!" someone exclaimed.
Some people also recognized their names based on their appearance and looks.
"Could it be the legendary Pokémon Zapdos and Articuno?"
"How strange! Why did those two Pokémon suddenly appear in such a place?"
"I don't know, let's catch up and see! Maybe this is a good opportunity to capture the legendary Pokémon!"
A group of trainers from the Kanto League began to act.
Zapdos and Articuno in the sky flew forward at high speed with a focused look.
The purpose of their trip was the Moltres that lived on this plateau.
Zapdos flew very fast, and thunderclouds rolled wherever it passed, and thunder rumbled in the sky.
Articuno, who was following behind, was shocked by the scene.
This guy's strength has far surpassed theirs!
What did it encounter? Was it because of that so-called human? Articuno couldn't help thinking.
The price of becoming stronger is to pay with one's own feathers...
Articuno didn't care much about this kind of thing, it was just a little curious about what Zapdos had experienced.
So it left the Twin Islands and chose to follow Zapdos to the "sacred tree" it mentioned.
At this time, a familiar breath suddenly came from the front.
Articuno's thoughts returned to reality.
It looked up with Zapdos and saw a bird Pokémon with fiery red feathers, a sharp and straight beak, a streamlined crown and a tail that was like a flaming flame flying into the sky.
It was covered with orange flames, and countless sparks flashed when its wings flapped. The red flames had a heart-stirring beauty.
That was... Moltres!
Just as they could sense the breath of Moltres, Moltres also sensed their arrival in advance and appeared here to meet them!
"Ooooo~"
Meltres narrowed his eyes and kept looking at the other two birds opposite.
On the Quartz Plateau, the human trainers riding flying Pokémon had caught up.
They stood there, looking up at the figures of the three legendary bird Pokémon in the sky, and their faces showed shock.
Not only Articuno and Zapdos, but even Moltres appeared!

The next morning, after finishing his work at the ranch, Naoki rode Gulden to the Alola region.
When he arrived at the ranch, Kachi was already waiting there obediently.
Seeing Naoki, Kachi immediately greeted him: "Good morning, Mr. Naoki!"
"Hello, Kachi." Naoki rolled off Gulden and began to introduce Kachi to the work that needed his help.
"Except in winter, I don't stay here on weekdays, so someone needs to help clean the things in the house regularly and put them in the sun to prevent mold."
"Of course, this kind of thing doesn't need to be done every day. It's okay to come once a week."
"Besides these, there's nothing else. If you can do it, I'll transfer your monthly salary to you using Rotom's mobile phone."
"No problem!" Kachi nodded quickly. This job was very easy for him.
"Well, you get familiar with this place first. I have something else to do. I'll contact you later." Naoki said.
It was almost time. He was going to the Royal Dome to participate in his first competition.
"Okay!" Kachi said.
Naoki nodded, then left here and flew directly to the Royal Dome.
After registering his player information, he got an ordinary mask to cover his identity and a set of clothes for the Royal Battle.
After changing clothes, Naoki asked Gulden to wait for him backstage, and he walked alone along the passage to the square arena.
I don't know if it's because the battle level is too low, there are not many spectators in this game.
There are a few people sitting in the audience, who look like they are just here to join in the fun.
Naoki took a look and didn't care too much, but cast his eyes on the other three passages.
There, stood his three opponents in this battle.
"Hello, big brother! I'm shorts boy Zeke, you are new here, right? I will definitely not show mercy!"
"What about me? I'm mini skirt Yuchen, don't underestimate me just because I'm young! I'll let you see how powerful my Pokémon is!"
"Hehe, Yanmei won't admit defeat! Although Yanmei is only in kindergarten now, I have cultivated very powerful Pokémon! Pi baby, let them see how powerful we are!"
A little girl dressed in kindergarten said with fighting spirit.
Seeing this scene, Naoki was stunned for a moment.
Now he finally understood why there were so few spectators for this battle...
Damn, this is the Baby Cup special!
Fortunately, he didn't ask Giratina and Rayquaza to help.
