Chapter 107 The Brave Champion Journey 11
After getting the last badge from Denji's gym leader, Shinyu has collected all eight gym badges in the deep area.

The next step is to challenge the upcoming Lily of the Valley Tournament!

The venue for the Suzuran Tournament is Suzuran Island in the Sinnoh region, and Suzuran Island is right near Binhai City.

This is also the itinerary that Zhenyong had planned before: challenge the gymnasium all the way, arrive at the Binhai gymnasium, and then directly participate in the competition of the Linglan Conference.

……

Now the time is just right, the Lily of the Valley Conference is about to be held, and Zhenyong has collected all eight gym badges at this time.

Of course, there is a direct ship from Binhai City to Suzulan Island.

Suzuran Island is also bustling with the upcoming Suzuran Conference, with tourists from all over the place coming and going. Not all of them are Pokémon trainers, but after all, this is a major event in the Sinnoh region, and everyone is willing to come. Join in the fun.

Pokémon battle enthusiasts from all over the world, and even from other regions, wandered around Lily of the Valley, took pictures, and visited, waiting for the upcoming Lily of the Valley Conference.

True courage is also among them.

This is the first time for Zhenyong to participate in the Lily of the Valley Conference. Before that, he has been traveling in various places to improve his level and cultivate the bond between himself and Pokémon. I have to say that he still learned a lot from this journey of.

Pokémon trainers are of course different from ordinary tourists. After all, the protagonists of the Suzuran Tournament are trainers.

The previous challenge to the eight gymnasiums in the Sinnoh area was almost equivalent to the early audition of the Lily of the Valley Conference. Only Pokémon trainers who broke through the gymnasium and obtained eight badges were eligible to participate in the next competition.

Zhenyong completed the registration process and got a booklet related to the Suzuli Contest. Only then did he know that there were sixteen contestants in this Suzuli Contest, and each person would need to compete in up to four one-on-one matches. The winner advances and the loser is eliminated.

It's different from gym challenges.

It may be due to the requirement of the duration of the game, or the need for the effect of the game, or it may be to test the Pokémon trainer's training level of the Pokémon in his hands...

In short, the Gym Challenge is a three-on-three Pokémon duel until all Pokémon on one side lose their fighting ability; while the Bamboo Orchid Tournament is a six-on-six Pokémon duel until all Pokémon on one side lose their fighting ability. Until they can no longer fight.

……

It was less than a week before the Lily of the Valley Conference officially opened.

During the waiting period, Zhenyong went to the venue of the Lily of the Valley Conference to familiarize himself with the terrain, and at the same time adjusted the status of several Pokémon he was going to participate in the competition.

The competition arena of the Lily of the Valley Conference will only be unveiled when the competition officially starts, and now only the general information in the brochure can be used for reference.

There are grass arenas, rock arenas, ice arenas, and water arenas that are about to start... It is still uncertain which venue will be the turn in the competition. It may change every game.

……

Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, the opening day of the Lily of the Valley Conference came.

Before the tournament officially started, Zhenyong took his Pokémon with him.First, we came to the Suzuran Island Pokémon Center. At this critical juncture, it was very necessary to help the Pokémon recover their status first.

"Mukhawk, Two-Tailed Hand, Happy Egg, Owl, Snorlax, Dabi..."

"The next game is up to you!"

Even in the Lily of the Valley Conference, Zhenyong still insisted on his past principles, which is to only use Pokémon with normal attributes.

Today is the day of the opening ceremony.

Zhenyong, who came out of the Pokémon Center, packed up his mood and prepared to participate in this Lily of the Valley Conference in the most perfect state.

Unexpectedly, as soon as I went out, I met an acquaintance:
"Yo!"

"Isn't this really brave!"

"Sure enough, you have come to the Lily of the Valley Conference!"

"I knew that I would definitely meet you here!"

The one who spoke was the guy Zhenyong met before, the young Pokémon trainer named Ah Heng.

Zhenyong frowned, saying that he didn't agree with each other.He didn't want to have any more interactions with Ah Heng. The paths they chose were different.

Gently nodding his head as a greeting, Zhenyong turned his head to leave.Ah Heng insisted:

"Don't be in a hurry! You're so brave."

"Would you like to compare me again? Don't you want to avenge your shame and revenge?"

"Or, after being knocked down by me last time, you are willing to admit that your level and concept are lower than mine?"

With that said, Ah Heng leaned over again, and whispered with a smile:
"In order to prepare for this Lily of the Valley Conference, I bought a few more powerful Pokémon from RPEX!"

"How about it, do you want to fight against me again?!"

Zhenyong looked at Ah Heng who was leaning over, feeling even more uncomfortable in his heart, and finally couldn't bear it and said:
"You can't go very far like this."

"After all, Pokémon is not a tool without consciousness, and it is impossible to simply change with the wishes of human beings..."

"Only when the Pokémon and the Pokémon Trainer are in the same mind can they be brought into full play."

"The so-called 'cultivated' Pokémon that 'obeys what humans say' you bought has almost lost the most precious thing in Pokémon."

"It's impossible for them to beat me..."

But Ah Heng made an exaggerated expression of surprise as if he had heard some terrible joke:
"It's impossible to win you?!"

"...Who is my subordinate who will be defeated?"

Zhenyong turned his head and didn't speak, just walked towards the main venue of the Lily of the Valley Conference.

Ah Heng shook his head slightly, and finally said:
"I hope we can as soon as possible... No, I hope we meet again in the final!"

"Let me defeat you again. Maybe only losing to a trainer like me once again will make you realize clearly what kind of existence the current Pokémon trainers are! The future of Pokémon trainers Where is the road..."

Even with his ability to buy Pokémon, Ah Heng has already reached the venue of the Lily of the Valley Conference.But Zhenyong still can't agree with each other.

In order to cultivate the strength of his Pokémon and his combat experience, Zhenyong left home and trained in various areas since he was a child.

It is also these practices and training that allow Zhenyong to find his own path, let him recognize his own strengths and weaknesses, and find the direction and goal that he needs to work hard for.

The hardships and hardships that Zhenyong has endured over the years will never be easily wasted.

All efforts will be rewarded, of course there are examples of getting something for nothing, but it is not the right way after all.

Rather than chasing the odds that are almost like gambling, it is better to improve one's own strength and hold the final victory tightly in one's hands.
