Elf, who made him the gym leader?

The sky is gray.

In Yulongdu's eyes, the sky is always gray now, and he has such a firm ideal.

But what about now? He can't even defeat several juniors. How can he fulfill his ideal?

Or... is he really wrong? Otherwise, why did he lose?

The cold rain kept falling. Not far away, Sakaki and the other five looked at Yulongdu who was half-kneeling on the ground with a depressed breath.

The four red people were silent and did not say anything. No matter what words they said, at this moment, they were all charity and irony for Yulongdu.

Even Sakaki looked at Yulongdu with a little complexity in his eyes.

Maybe... he saw his own figure in Yulongdu at this moment.

Ta-ta-ta-ta

The sound of footsteps came suddenly until it stopped in front of Yulongdu.

Yulongdu slowly raised his head, and his gray and lifeless eyes fell on the person in front of him.

"Senior Du."

"Guxin..."

Yulongdu's eyes rippled as he looked at his junior.

"Senior Du, you lost."

Guxin sighed softly and whispered to the dragon master who once shone in Kanto.

"I lost..."

Yulongdu pursed his lips tightly and finally closed his eyes. He was indeed defeated, and he was not even defeated by Guxin.

Perhaps, he was really wrong.

The Battle of Sufang Island ended completely with Yulongdu's defeat.

At the agreed time, the Junsha team sent by Damalanqi sailed to the island. Yulongdu, Kikuko, and Kona did not continue to resist.

Even if Yulongdu actually had the ability to resist, because Zekrom and Lugia still had combat power.

But this defeat dealt a serious blow to Yulongdu's beliefs at the moment, and he has now fallen into self-doubt.

The badge energy in Lugia's body was cleared by Guxin, and Lugia regained consciousness and left.

After communicating with Yulongdu through telepathy, Zekrom also left.

Zekrom felt quite confused. You worked hard to get me from N, but you asked me to watch the final battle? Then why did you ask me to come here?

But Zekrom probably understood. After all, if it participated in the battle, Guxin would not stand by and watch, and there would be no fight at all.

Xiba was always an "undercover" and naturally did not receive the same treatment as Yulongdu and the other two. At this moment, he was eating in the hall of the ship and enjoying his meal.

So far, the forces of the former four kings of Kanto have been completely destroyed.

"Thank you for your hard work this time."

At the dinner table, Guxin raised his glass and smiled at the five people of Sakaki.

"It's not hard, it's hard life." Xiaolan rolled his eyes.

Originally thought that Sufang Island just had to pretend this time, but Guxin was the one who really pretended.

"But it was really fun to fight!" Qinglu took a sip of beer and felt refreshed.

As long as we win in the end, it's fine. It's really fun to fight with all our strength!

"This time you defeated Senior Du and the others, which is definitely a great achievement. You can apply for rewards from the president when you go back. The president will not be stingy." Gu Xin hinted, no, it should be said that he made it clear.

The former Four Heavenly Kings of Kanto are no less threatening than Team Rocket. Although the credit cannot be announced to the public after the battle, the credit is real.

Dama Ranqi will definitely reward Sakaki and others heavily.

"Brother, the owner of the gym, what will the alliance do to Yulongdu and the others?" Mitsuki took a sip of juice and asked Gu Xin curiously.

"Who knows, but with the president's personality, as long as Senior Du and the others are willing to come back, the president will definitely not refuse."

Gu Xin shrugged. No matter what plan Yulongdu and the others prepared this time, they have not started to implement it after all.

Moreover, although it is contrary to the Spirit Alliance, Yulongdu and the others have made contributions to the Kanto Alliance in the past.

The Pokémon Alliance is humanitarian. As long as Yulongdu and the others "turn over a new leaf", Damalanqi will definitely not care so much.

"If they come back, won't they still compete with us for the position of the Four Heavenly Kings?" Qinglu held the second glass of beer and raised his eyebrows when he thought of this.

"I don't know about that." Guxin shook his head and looked at Xiba who was eating a lot.

"Will Senior Xiba challenge?" Miyue blinked her big eyes.

"Ah?" Xiba raised her head in confusion.

"I still have to continue to practice. I can't beat you now."

Xiba spoke very realistically, but the meaning of his words was also very clear. He still wanted to continue to be one of the Four Heavenly Kings.

Or it could be said that Xiba joined the alliance in order to fight against powerful trainers. This was his original intention.

"Tsk~ It doesn't matter. Come on, I'll beat one!" Qinglu raised his head and spoke proudly.

After this battle on Sufang Island, Qinglu felt that he had made a new breakthrough and he would become stronger!

"There will be more competitors again." Mitsuki held her fair chin and pursed her lips. She also wanted to challenge the Kanto Alliance.

"In fact, as far as I know, the Kanto Alliance is preparing to separate from the Johto area. If Yulongdu and the others really repent, they should be arranged to go to the Johto Alliance."

Sakaki smiled faintly. This was the news he got, and it should be true.

"Ah? Really?" Qinglu was very surprised.

"Senior Sakaki is right. The president also mentioned this to me." Gu Xin nodded.

The reason why the Johto Alliance was not established was because the candidates for the Johto Four Heavenly Kings were not finalized.

But if Yulongdu and the others returned to the Alliance, the candidates for the Johto Four Heavenly Kings would be finalized.

After a full meal and a full afternoon of fighting, Sakaki and the others were ready to take a break.

And at this moment in another room.

"Lan, let me introduce you to this old man Gu Liu, the gym leader of Kaji Town."

Gu Xin brought Xiao Lan to the room and introduced Gu Liu to Xiao Lan. Gu Liu looked at Xiao Lan with a little guilt in his eyes.

Now that the vision is about to be completed, Gu Liu's mentality has also changed.

"Hello, old man."

Xiao Lan didn't understand, but still greeted Gu Liu with a polite smile.

She had a deep psychological shadow on the masked man, but because the masked man was disguised every time he appeared, in fact, no one in the masked organization knew the true identity of the masked man.

"I'm very sorry for what happened before, sorry." Gu Liu had difficulty walking, so he could only bow his head to apologize to Xiao Lan.

Xiao Lan was stunned.

"What is the old man talking about? But Kaji Town is in Chengdu, right?" Xiao Lan was a little confused, but she had a bad feeling in her heart.

She had lived in Chengdu for a long time, so she naturally knew Kaji Town.

And Gu Liu's sudden apology was very inexplicable.

"Yes, the old man came here today for an important matter. Xiao Lan, do you remember what you told me about your past?"

Gu Xin looked at Xiao Lan.

"And the old man Gu Liu is the masked man."

"!!!"

Xiao Lan's pupils shrank suddenly, and she looked at the skinny old man sitting in a wheelchair in disbelief. Masked man? ! !

The masked man, the culprit who separated her from her family, was also her deepest nightmare.

But...

"This..."

Xiao Lan, who was usually smart and clever, seemed a little at a loss at this moment. Is this true? But Gu Xin would never lie to her.

So, this old man is really the terrifying masked man?

Xiao Lan pursed her lips tightly, looking at Gu Liu with anger flashing in his eyes.

She was afraid of the masked man, but she also hated him. If it weren't for the masked man, she would have had a complete and beautiful childhood.

The girl's breathing gradually became heavier, and her chest kept rising and falling, expressing her emotional fluctuations at the moment.

Gu Xin patted Xiao Lan's shoulder and comforted her silently.

The room was quiet for a while.

After a while, Xiao Lan finally controlled her emotions. She didn't look at Gu Liu, but looked at Gu Xin.

She didn't know what happened.

Gu Xin certainly understood what Xiao Lan meant, and then described Gu Liu's situation in detail.

"So you kidnapped us in order to train us to prepare for your plan to capture Celebi?"

In addition to the instinctive reaction of bird phobia, Xiao Lan's psychological quality and emotional regulation ability have always been excellent. At this moment, she has calmed down.

"Yes." Gu Liu nodded.

"I suffered misfortune, so I built misfortune on others." Xiao Lan couldn't help but sneer.

"For them, I can do anything." Gu Liu did not refute his sins. This was the fact, and Gu Liu had already prepared for it.

"Lan, I don't ask for your forgiveness. I'm sorry. No matter how you want to retaliate against me afterwards, I can accept it."

Gu Liu's low and old voice made Xiao Lan bite her lips tightly.

"What's the point of saying this now?"

Xiao Lan closed her eyes. What should have happened had already happened, and her misfortune was in the past.

But... Xiao Lan looked at Gu Xin, with a soft light flashing in her eyes, but she was lucky now.

Gu Xin noticed Xiao Lan's gaze and smiled gently at her.

"So if you want to revive the two Laplaces, you need the Phoenix King, right?" Xiao Lan took a deep breath and adjusted her emotions again. She probably understood.

"Well, the Phoenix King has the power of resurrection." Gu Xin nodded.

"Okay, I'll help you this time, and we will have nothing to do with each other in the future." Xiao Lan was silent for a while, looking at Gu Liu and said in a deep voice.

She must also make a complete break with the masked man.

"Thank you." Gu Liu replied in a low voice.

Xiaolan did not respond, but looked at the sea outside the window with a complicated look. She really did not expect that her nightmare masked man was actually an old man, and his original intention was to revive his Pokémon that died accidentally.

This kind of thing... is too bizarre.

Junsha's ship docked in Vermilion City.

Sakaki and others escorted the car of Yulongdu and the other three to the Quartz Plateau, while Gu Xin brought Xiaolan, Gu Liu and the curious Miyue to the uninhabited wilderness.

"Phoenix King, come on."

Xiaolan took out the special rainbow feather that the Phoenix King gave her and called it.

The Phoenix King said that when he was in danger one day, he could use this rainbow feather to call the Phoenix King once.

The rainbow feather lit up with a dazzling rainbow-colored glow, and it seemed to work.

Gu Liu sat silently in a wheelchair, gently stroking the little boar lying on his thigh with his right hand, but he opened a Poké Ball with his left hand.

The messenger bird appeared, and at Gu Liu's command, the messenger bird hid not far away.

"Chi~"

About ten minutes later, a rainbow came across the sky, and a bird with golden and colorful light all over its body flapped its wings and flew quickly.

Sacred and beautiful.

It was the Phoenix King!

"So beautiful~!" Mitsuki's eyes lit up. This is the legendary Ho-Oh in Kanto!

Mitsuki's eyes were full of expectations. She was looking forward to Ho-Oh!

It was getting closer and closer. Ho-Oh was getting closer and closer to their position.

"Chi——?"

It flew in front of Xiaolan and others. The Ho-Oh's melodious cry was high-pitched, but soon the tone suddenly stopped because it saw it.

The Ho-Oh fixed its eyes on the old man in the wheelchair. Although it hadn't seen him for many years, it would never mistake this human!

"Ho-Oh, long time no see."

Gu Liu raised his head and looked at Ho-Oh. It was indeed right to say that it hadn't seen him for a long time.

After all, he was also considered a trainer of Ho-Oh back then, although he didn't use Ho-Oh to do good things.

The Ho-Oh bird's eyes almost popped out.

Then...

"Uh..."

Mitsuki tilted her head and looked at the Ho-Oh who turned around and ran away with a question mark on her face. What was going on?

Why did Ho-Oh look like he was running for his life?
