Chapter 63 Almost a disaster, Mega Metagross! Bai Yu himself didn't understand, but Ahong did.
Bai Yu was unsure if Ahong truly understood or was just pretending.
"Whatever, back to the main story."
Bai Yu took out a Poké Ball and put the equally bewildered Swampert into it.
He headed towards his room, intending to spend five minutes speedrunning the Hoenn Elite Four today.
He'd see if he could beat that kid Qinglv's record for speedrunning the Elite Four.
Bai Yu brought all six Poké Balls into the game.
Upon opening his eyes, he saw the town of Hoenn.
Unlike other towns, Hoenn required crossing the sea and using Waterfall to scale a natural waterfall. Only the Pokémon Center was in front of Bai Yu, who quickly healed his Pokémon.
He then headed towards the cave, the Victory Road mentioned for generations.
Along the Path of the Champion, there were also random trainers. These trainers were the last line of defense in the challenge against the Hoenn Elite Four, and their strength surpassed that of many Gym Leaders, second only to the Elite Four.
"There aren't many trainers who can come here. Let me see your strength!"
An elite trainer, Sho, emerged from the cave and challenged you. *
Bang!* A plume of smoke rose from the small cave.
As the smoke slowly dissipated, a massive Pokémon covered in hard minerals lay on the field, its eyes glazed and unable to battle.
"Rhyperior!"
Elite trainer Sho hadn't expected his Pokémon to be defeated so easily.
His strength was even greater than the trainer who had just arrived.
He wondered where this challenger had come from, possessing such power.
"Rhyperior... I remember that Pokémon shouldn't appear in the Hoenn region."
Bai Yu vaguely remembered that the evolution materials for Rhyperior only appeared in the Sinnoh region.
However, after completing the Champion Road, he would be facing the Hoenn Elite Four and the Hoenn Champion, so it was normal for information about the Sinnoh region to be revealed in advance.
Bai Yu didn't think much of it and led his Swampert deeper into the region.
Along the way, they encountered elite trainers, all of considerable strength.
It took some effort to defeat them, but the experience gained was substantial.
After encountering more than twenty elite trainers, Swampert's level soared to 59.
It was only one level away from the highest level of the first-generation Champion in the game.
"Roar~"
Swampert let out a muffled roar and slammed forward, sending Sceptile flying with a single punch. It
was at a significant disadvantage against a Pokémon like Sceptile in terms of type.
However, in Pokémon battles, victory or defeat isn't solely determined by type advantages or disadvantages.
Even if the opponent was a formidable rival in the game.
"I lost. Challenger, your strength is indeed formidable."
Standing before Bai Yu was none other than Xiao You, one of the Pokédex members of the Hoenn region. As a formidable rival in the game, Xiao You had naturally also embarked on the Champion Road, standing in his way
at the final stage .
"The task of challenging the Elite Four is now yours."
"Challenger, if you win, remember to come find me in Crimson Town."
Xiao You took out a Poké Ball and put Sceptile into it.
Instead of choosing to continue towards the end of the Champion Road, he turned and left.
He had given up on the idea of challenging the Elite Four. This scene was quite different from the game. Shouldn't a formidable rival reappear at the last moment, leading to a more evenly matched contest? Bai Yu didn't know what the other was thinking, and without much thought, he headed towards the end of the Champion's Road.
Only Xiao You remained standing there, pondering something.
"His strength is truly impressive; he defeated my Sceptile with Swampert."
The Elite Four correspond to Dark, Ghost, Ice, and Dragon types, respectively.
The strategies weren't too difficult; these types of Pokémon were relatively easy to defeat.
Bai Yu didn't have any Psychic-type Pokémon. Against the Dark-type Elite Four member, Hua Yue, he used Electivire to easily sweep her away. For the subsequent Fuyou, Bai Yu used Houndoom, and Bonnie used the Steel-type Aggron. Finally, against the Dragon-type Elite Four member, Genji, Swampert entered the fray easily, securing the victory.
Bai Yu smoothly reached the last room.
"I've been looking forward to seeing you here one day."
"You... what did you and your Pokémon see on your journey?"
"You encountered so many trainers like yourself, and saw them unable to enter the Champion's Hall. What did you feel?"
"Come on. Let me see just how strong you really are now."
"The battle in the Stone Cave and the battle in the Champion's Hall today, I want to see the difference!"
Steven's tone was calm, yet filled with extraordinary confidence. He believed in his Pokémon more than anyone else.
Bai Yu listened to these words from the game.
Bai Yu had previously found them quite exciting, but coming from Steven's mouth, they sounded so awkward.
He lacked the air of a Hoenn Champion.
Steven's Pokémon were very conventional. Regardless of the generation, his Pokémon were Skarmory, Aggron, Claydol, Armaldo, and that shiny Metagross.
The Steel and Rock type combination wasn't a unified Steel-type team, but unfortunately, without the Sandstorm buff, such a team crumbled at the slightest touch.
"Your turn, Swampert!"
Against Steven's team, Blaziken and Swampert, the two starter Pokémon, were enough to sweep them off their feet.
*Bang! * Metagross was flipped over, its body reverting to its previous state, signaling the end of the match.
"Mega Evolution! Skarmory's moveset is Spikes and Toxic, with Whirlwind mixed in."
"We almost lost! Luckily I had my meds up, otherwise we really would have lost to this Metagross."
Bai Yu stared at the Metagross before him.
From the start to the end of the match, Bai Yu's shocked gaze never wavered. That moveset was already disgusting, but at the last moment, that shiny Metagross actually Mega Evolved! The
Mega Evolved Metagross's strength increased dramatically.
Swampert, constantly using meds and with its perfect resistances, successfully defeated Metagross.
The main quest is complete.
"I...I lost?"
"I used such perfect tactics, almost spanning my entire trainer career, and yet I still lost."
Deep down, Daigo's feelings were complex. As the League Champion, he had used every battle technique he knew, and in the end, he still lost.
"Alright, come with me, challenger!"
"No~ I should say new Champion."
Daigo led Shiraha towards the Hall of Fame.
He was incredibly frustrated, but he couldn't change the fact that he had been defeated.
The game's storyline is Omega Ruby/Alpha Sapphire, where the Champion's main Pokémon can Mega Evolve, and so can Groudon and other legendary Pokémon...
