Jun Shafeng, with his entry card in hand, successfully entered the Miare Convention.
As soon as he entered the venue, he saw a sea of spectators in the auditorium.
Just then, a familiar voice called out from behind him.
"Xiaofeng, you're finally here! I was worried you'd miss out. Now, let me tell you, the Four Heavenly Kings and the Champion are all here. I heard that if you win the Miare Convention,
you'll have a chance to challenge the Four Heavenly Kings. Successfully challenging one of the Four Heavenly Kings will earn you the title of Heavenly King. After three years as Heavenly King, you'll be eligible to challenge the Champion."
After hearing Dr. Blatano's words, Jun Shafeng's eyes lit up with fighting spirit.
"Doctor, I'm now much stronger than I was before. I also have two very powerful Pokémon. After today, the Kalos region will have a new Heavenly King,"
Jun Shafeng said confidently.
After that, the tournament host, atop a desert dragonfly, ascended into the air.
Looking at the contestants on both sides of the convention, the host shouted.
"Welcome everyone to the Miare Tournament. I am the host of this year's Miare Tournament. The long-awaited Pokémon Battle has officially begun. We will randomly select players for the Pokémon Battle.
The battle venues will be randomly changed, so Trainers may face battles in venues their Pokémon are not accustomed to. I now declare the tournament officially open."
After the host finished speaking, the large screen behind him began randomly selecting players.
After a few random flashes,
the first group of players was soon selected. Perhaps it was fate, but
Jun Shafeng and another player named Xiaoqiang were in the first group.
Jun Shafeng confidently walked onto the battle field. Like countless others, he considered becoming the champion his lifelong goal.
At the referee's call, they both simultaneously unleashed their Pokémon.
Jun Shafeng sent out his first Pokémon, Pandarun.
Since learning Tai Chi and the Eight Gates, Pandarun's true power is comparable to that of a level 60 Pokémon.
Furthermore, each gate opened in the Eight Gates increases the power of the attack by 10%.
Opening more than five gates increases the level by 10 for each gate opened. However, Jun Shafeng knew that opening the Eight Gates to the Death Gate was a suicidal act.
Therefore, he would never allow Rogue Panda to open the eighth gate of the Eight Gates.
However, he believed that Rogue Panda's current Eight Gates would be sufficient until reaching the Round of 16.
His first-round opponent, Xiaoqiang, was a trainer skilled in Fighting-type Pokémon. Heimmediately deployed his ace, Strike Force.
Jun Shafeng used the system to examine the Strike Force and discovered that its characteristic was perseverance.
It was level 65. In Jun Shafeng's original world,
being able to raise a level 65 Pokémon before the age of 18 would have been considered a true genius.
However, compared to Jun Shafeng's cheat, it was still far inferior.
Xiaoqiang, the trainer, immediately used Strike Force to increase his speed.
He then attacked Rogue Panda with a Thunder Punch.
The Rogue Panda closed his eyes slightly, and a figure suddenly appeared in his mind: an old man standing on the top of Cangshan Mountain.
His hands slowly moved in mid-air, forming an invisible force of yin and yang.
At the same time, the Rogue Panda opened his eyes.
Looking at the fist of the strange force that was already close at hand,
the Rogue Panda opened one of the Eight Gates of Ninjutsu.
In an instant, not only did his attack power increase by 10%, but his own defense speed also increased slightly.
The strange force's speed seemed to slow down a lot.
The Rogue Panda immediately used Tai Chi to deflect the strange force's lightning punch, which was deflected with a small force.
Then, he used explosive punches with both hands to attack.
With a single blow, the strange force was sent flying a hundred steps away.
Instantly, the nearby audience burst into applause.
At the same time, the Four Heavenly Kings in the audience could not help but look at Jun Shafeng's Rogue Panda.
The Steel-attributed Heavenly King Yan Kai said with an expression of admiration.
"This guy's Rogue Panda has been trained very well, and the punches he just used are probably similar to some ancient martial arts.
With further training, perhaps our Kalos region will have a good Fighting-type Gym Leader. It's not impossible that in a few years, he'll become the next generation of Fighting-type King."
After hearing Yan Kai's words, Dragon-type King Dorasena smiled.
"I see you value that kid so much. If he can win the Miare Championship this time, you can have him challenge you.
If he's truly capable, then I, the Dragon-type King, am willing to retire early and let him take over my mission to protect the Kalos region."
Doracena said half-jokingly, half-seriously.
Suddenly, at this moment, the audience erupted in applause.
In the battle arena, Rogue Panda's earlier explosive punch had successfully thrown Strange Power into disarray.
Then, seizing the opportunity, he unleashed a flurry of punches, completely defeating Strange Power.
As Strange Power fell, Jun Shafeng heard a system notification.
[Ding, congratulations to the host, Rogue Panda, for gaining enough experience to reach level 52. New skill learned: Hammer Arm.]
