Pokémon: Master System

imperial capital.

in the lounge.

Xia Yu finally saw Zhao Zhigang. Compared with the last time on the battlefield, Zhao Zhigang was obviously much more haggard after not seeing him for more than half a month.

Xia Yu's eyes fell on Zhao Zhigang.

Judging from appearance alone, Zhao Zhigang is really an extremely ordinary person.

Wearing ordinary clothes and trousers, he has a serious expression, his face is full of grooves, and his temples are gray.

Time has left traces of vicissitudes on his body. Time has aged his appearance, making him an inconspicuous passerby among the crowd.

"Uncle Zhao, long time no see." Xia Yu said.

"Xia Yu, long time no see." Zhao Zhigang looked at the young Xia Yu, his eyes flashed, and his hoarse and vicissitudes of voice sounded.

Listening to Zhao Zhigang's voice, Xia Yu approached Zhao Zhigang, lowered his voice and said, "Uncle Zhao, if you have time, let's talk later after the shooting."

Zhao Zhigang's face darkened slightly after listening to Xia Yu's words, and he frowned and looked at Xia Yu.

Xia Yu had already distanced himself from Zhao Zhigang and said with a smile: "Uncle Zhao, I am looking forward to playing against you."

…………

The shooting didn't take long.

Two hours later, at [-] o'clock in the morning, the filming of the trailer was completed.

After finishing the shooting, Xia Yu walked towards Zhao Zhigang with a smile: "Let's talk in the lounge?"

Zhao Zhigang's eyes fell on Xia Yu and he frowned. After hesitating for a moment, he nodded and walked to the lounge with Xia Yu.

Chi Hanqing and Eve, who had been paying attention to the two people on the other side, also came over.

"Crack!" Chi Hanqing, who was walking at the end, gently closed the door to the backstage lounge.

"To make a long story short." Xia Yu looked at Zhao Zhigang and said slowly: "I believe many people have contacted you and asked about your two Pokémon. Let me just put it bluntly. Our giant laboratory has no control over those two Pokémon. I’m also very interested in the origin of Pokémon.”

"I don't know what conditions others have offered you, but you can listen to the conditions we offer and compare shopping."

"This is Chi Hanqing, who is also the deputy director of our laboratory. She can fully represent the giant laboratory. If you have any needs, please ask her."

"Han Qing, please tell Uncle Zhao the conditions we offer."

…………

After a few minutes.

The door to the lounge opened and the three of them walked out of the laboratory together.

"Remember to keep in touch. You can think about it when you get back." Xia Yu looked at Zhao Zhigang and spoke slowly.

"Okay, I will seriously consider it." Zhao Zhigang looked at Xia Yu and Chi Hanqing beside him, nodded and responded.

…………

After saying goodbye to Zhao Zhigang, Xia Yu and his group left the Pokémon Association and drove back to the giant laboratory.

"Do you think... he will agree to our conditions?" Xia Yu looked at Chi Hanqing and said.

"Absolutely not." Chi Hanqing said directly.

Eve on the side also said with a serious face: "I quietly explored his inner thoughts, but I only felt that he was full of resistance and suspicion towards us."

"I can only think of other ways." Xia Yu said, then turned to look out the window.

It's not good to be a teacher.

"Xia Yu..." At this time, Chi Hanqing suddenly spoke: "The secret behind those two Pokémon is very important to you?"

Xia Yu nodded and said, "It's very important. I can say this. The secrets behind those two Pokémon are equally important as mega evolution and maxima."

Chi Hanqing frowned after listening to Xia Yu's words: "I actually have a way, I can give it a try."

Listening to Chi Hanqing's words, Xia Yu frowned: "What method are you going to use...to get rid of Zhao Zhigang?"

"Instead of us taking the initiative to find him for cooperation, it is better to wait for him to come to us for cooperation." Chi Hanqing said, "But you have to be prepared to offend some people."

Xia Yu frowned and looked at Chi Hanqing, confused for a moment what she was thinking.

imperial capital.

Arceus Center.

The finals of the Hall Leader Qualifying Tournament are about to begin.

This game means a lot.

It not only determines who is the strongest dragon gym master trainer between Xia Yu and Zhao Zhigang in the imperial capital, but also determines who the dragon gym leader in the imperial capital will be.

The Arceus Center, which can accommodate 10 people, is already overcrowded at this time.

In the audience, enthusiastic fans held up banners and posters of the two contestants and cheered.

Inside the venue, as the camera zooms in, you can see many familiar faces in the audience.

Almost all the owners of the imperial capital were present, and even many Four Heavenly Kings from various places came, including the newly promoted Four Heavenly Kings of North China, Xu Shanhe, and others.

Outside the venue, some enthusiastic fans and audience friends who had not grabbed tickets gathered in Arceus Square outside the venue to watch the live broadcast and watch the game.

"Dear audience friends, hello everyone, welcome to the Imperial Dragon Hall Main Ranking Finals. I am Li Xinhai, the commentator for this game."

"Hello everyone, I am Yan Ruyu, the commentator for this game."

Commentators Li Xinhai and Yan Ruyu appeared on the huge screen, smiling and waving their hands to greet the audience.

"The gym leader qualifying competition that has lasted for more than a month will come to an end today. I believe everyone has been looking forward to this showdown."

"Not only the audience, but Xiaoyu and I have also been looking forward to tonight's showdown."

"After all, he is an old man who has great ambitions. The 55-year-old veteran Zhao Zhigang won the championship in one fell swoop."

"The Dapeng rose with the same wind in one day and soared [-] miles. Xia Yu, the last College Cup champion, continued to write his own legend and became the youngest owner of the Imperial Capital in history!"

"let us wait and see!"

…………

As the voice of the commentary fell, the lights at the scene suddenly dimmed, causing the scene to erupt in exclamations.

The narration sounded, echoing throughout the venue.

"My name is Zhao Zhigang..."

"Since winning the semifinals, many people have said that I am the light of civilians and the god of war for civilians..."

"But anyone who knows me well knows that this is my eighth time participating in the gym owner qualifying competition..."

"I am 55 years old this year..."

"And my opponent Xia Yu is only 20 years old this year..."

"For the first time, I feel that I am already old..."

As the narration sounded, Zhao Zhigang's young face appeared in front of the huge screen. It was a photo of him when he participated in the gym leader qualifying competition for the first time.

It is a pity that no one paid attention to him in that game, and except for one photo, there was no highlight moment.

The scene turned and returned to Zhao Zhigang's current old appearance.

"When I was a kid, I dreamed of...becoming a dragon champion."

"Because I like mysterious and powerful dragon Pokémon..."

"But after I actually became a trainer, I realized...how difficult it is to become a dragon champion."

"The museum owner alone... has blocked me for 30 years."
