Pokémon cross over into the real world

Chapter 607 The Road to the Championship (1)

The Changxing Island Secret Realm in the Bohai Sea is a small secret realm. Due to its scarce resources, most of the Pokémon have moved away, leaving it predominantly populated by native Earth creatures. This makes it a frequent training and battleground for high-level trainers. Wang Qiyi's Champion Road test will also take place in this secret realm.

The cruise ship docked at Changxing Island Port, and Wang Qiyi waved goodbye to the relatives and friends who came to see him off. Besides his parents and Jia Shangda, there was also his godfather Fei Yi, President Xu of Zhejiang University, and some important figures from the Fei family. After all, Wang Qiyi is now the Fei family's godson, and if he really becomes an elder, the Fei family will naturally want to stick close to him.

Wang Qiyi stepped into the secret realm, officially beginning his path to becoming a champion. More than a dozen Rotom mobile phones bearing the Glowing Technology logo rose into the air, activating a live broadcast. The same image appeared on television, online, and even on large screens in shopping malls and streets. Parker, the president of the International Pokémon League, was also watching the broadcast from his office.

Wang Qiyi quickly arrived at the first test site. Under a large tree sat a middle-aged woman, well past fifty, who was making tea. Upon seeing Wang Qiyi, she waved to him and said, "Young man, have a cup of tea first. Don't be too nervous."

Wang Qiyi stepped forward and bowed, saying, "Junior Wang Qiyi greets Chen Chuanqi." He then sat down generously, picked up his teacup, and drank it all in one gulp.

"Young man, so eager? I was hoping to get to know you better and chat for a while." She also picked up her tea and took a sip, then looked up at the Rotom phone flying in the sky. "Oh, it's a live stream, I forgot. The viewers are all waiting. It's all my fault for being too weak. As the first challenge, I won't waste your time. Let's begin."

"Tell me, what rules do you want to use?" Chen Chuanqi asked. According to the rules of the Champion's Road, the top six legends can send out their six Pokémon, one against one, two against two, three against three, or even six against six, depending on the challenger's request.

"I don't care, but I want to finish the assessment quickly. Let's not send out Pokémon one by one. How about we have three against three?"

"As you wish." After saying that, Chen Chuanqi threw out three Poké Balls in succession, and Venusaur, Nidoking and Pidgeot appeared in front of him. The three Pokémon were very strong, which showed that their strength was definitely not weak.

Chen Lingchang, 60 years old, is a veteran legendary trainer, specializing in Grass and Poison-type Pokémon. Her team boasts at least four Pokémon at near-legendary level, making her a top-tier trainer even among legendary trainers. This is her second time serving as an examiner for the Champion Road assessment. The first time, her strength wasn't as great as it is now, yet she was already guarding the fourth stage. Now, even stronger, she's been assigned to the first stage, highlighting the immense difficulty of this assessment.

"The first challenge is Chen Chuanqi? What's going on?!" The live stream chat was flooded with comments. People who knew Chen Chuanqi had already started complaining. Chen Chuanqi was active on various competition platforms in his early years and also made occasional appearances in the Pokémon Professional League. He was considered a top-tier trainer among the legendary level.

"My God, Chen Chuanqi sent out his ace Venusaur first!"

"Upstairs, is Chen Chuanqi really that amazing? Why have I rarely heard of him?"

"Hey, you young people certainly don't know, more than 30 years ago, Chen Chuanqi was among the top three in the National Masters Tournament, and he won the title of Poison King in the King of Kings Tournament. Back then, Chen Chuanqi was in his prime, and his popularity was about the same as that of the current Fairy of the Blue Waves, Wang Ruoping."

"Wow! Look, Chen Chuanqi made Venusaur Mega Evolve! Mega Evolution in the very first stage, he's not planning to let Wang Qiyi pass!"

"Didn't Wang Qiyi announce online that he would showcase his latest research on the Road to the Championship? What was it called again?"

"Titanium crystallization is said to be a way to change the attributes of a spirit, but the specifics are still unclear. I wonder if he will use it later."

……

The internet was buzzing with discussion, but Wang Qiyi in the secret realm didn't give everyone much time to recount Chen's legendary feat, because his Monkey King team wiped out the opposing team's three Pokémon in a single encounter. Facing a combination of Venusaur, Nidoking, and Pidgeot, they struck first.

Softie quickly transformed into the Golden Cudgel, which Goku picked up and threw. Pidgeot was hit on the head before it could even take off. As the Golden Cudgel bounced back to the ground, Softie transformed into Mewtwo and used Psychic Blade to slash Nidoking. Psychic type is super effective against Poison type, and Nidoking let out a wail and collapsed to the ground.

Egg-shaped projectiles blurred into a blur as two air slashes struck the heavily injured Pidgeot, rendering it completely unable to battle. Goku unleashed Flame Charge, which crashed into Venusaur like a burning meteor. Even the Mega Venusaur with the Fat Fat ability was knocked flat on its back by the Flame Charge.

Wang Qiyi's three Pokémon started too quickly, with a clear first-mover advantage. In the first encounter, they didn't even have a proper battle formation or a decent resistance, and the trainer didn't even have time to shout out his commands.

Mega-evolved Venusaur, being a tank-type Pokémon, withstood two extra attacks. However, Exeggcute's Air Slash activated a fear effect, causing Venusaur to become dazed and unable to move. Goku then closed in with a Wing Chun Cross Punch, unleashing over a hundred punches in just a few seconds, each punch carrying the power of a Flame Punch, rendering Venusaur unable to battle.

Chen Chuanqi was stunned. She knew the young man in front of her was strong, and she wouldn't be his match, but she hadn't expected him to be this strong. After all, she was a legendary trainer. Her Venusaur was a near-legendary, and after Mega Evolution, it would be legendary, yet it hadn't even used a single move. All three of its Pokémon were instantly defeated without her even having time to switch Pokémon; it was a true annihilation.

"Chen Chuanqi, you still have three Pokémon," Wang Qiyi reminded him.

Chen Lingchang was inwardly groaning. Could she just admit defeat? Looking at her three Pokémon on the field, each one was seriously injured and lying on the ground. The remaining three probably wouldn't even be able to wear down the opponent; they would only be able to go on the field and suffer more injuries.

The first battle went so smoothly that even netizens were surprised, and the person who had just been introducing Chen Chuanqi's glorious past suddenly fell silent. The most excited person was Dong Qingping, who was still on the Southeast Asian battlefield. Although he was on the front lines, he still managed to watch the live broadcast of the battle through special channels.

When he saw Wang Qiyi defeat Chen Chuanqi's six Pokémon without taking any damage, he clenched his fists and muttered to himself, "How did this guy get stronger again!" When he lost to Wang Qiyi, he always regarded Wang Qiyi as his target, thinking about how he would get revenge one day. But day by day, the gap between them widened and widened, and now it had reached the point where he was in despair.

"You play rock-paper-scissors, whoever wins gets this one." Lei Chuanqi, who was distributing energy cubes to his Pokémon, was unaware that Wang Qiyi had already arrived. No one expected Wang Qiyi to arrive so quickly. Standing in front of him were the adorable Dedric and Pikachu, the two of them fiercely fighting over the last energy cube.

"Hey, I told you to stop playing, we already said rock-paper-scissors." Lei Chuanqi was focused on the two little guys in front of him until the electric dragon next to him howled at him and then pointed ahead.

"You are... Wang Qiyi?" he asked in surprise. "The first round is over so quickly?"

Wang Qiyi cupped his hands in greeting: "Please enlighten me, Legendary Lei."

"This old woman Chen is no good either. The League has given her Mega Stones and Key Stones, what, did she overestimate herself and not use them?"

"Venusaur has Mega Evolved, but it's still too slow. I successfully ambushed it and quickly won the battle."

"Young man, you have no sportsmanship, resorting to sneak attacks." Lei Chuanqi took out a Poké Ball. "I'll just say it directly, I'm good at Electric-type moves, sneak attacks won't work against me. Tell me, how many against how many?"

"Three on three."

"Young man, you're quite impatient, wanting to finish the battle quickly, aren't you? Three-on-three is fast, but it consumes a lot of energy. Alright, let's go with three-on-three then." With that, Lei Chuanqi threw out two Poké Balls. One was Electivire, a yellow tiger-striped Pokémon that walked upright, and the other was also upright, with purple skin and a flamboyant yellow bristle on its back—Toxtricity, in its high-profile form. The third Pokémon was the Ampharos beside him.
