Pokemon: Pick up Eevee at the start

This is indeed the case. No matter how outstanding Chihong and his elves can perform, Xia Chen can always calmly suppress them with more sophisticated means.

This has been true from the very beginning of the quasi-god twin dragon battle, to the giant battle, and now the super evolution battle.

The feeling of powerlessness may be the most appropriate description of Hong in the entire game.

Mastering the stick, but aiming for the yard.

Even if Pikachu flies into the sky, Fairy Eevee can still hold it down, so what else can be done?

The audience looked at Chihong's calm and stubborn look, and couldn't help but sigh in their hearts. If they had been the ones to hold this deck of cards, they would have been defeated as early as the battle between Kuailong and Dolong Baruto, right?

Or if the two lineups were swapped, could Xia Chen give a more amazing answer with the red elves?

Probably not.

But all are unrealistic and unreasonable assumptions.

Whose elf is not cultivated through hard work?

A widely circulated saying among trainers is, "One minute on the battlefield, ten years in the training room."

The biggest difference in elf battles is not the on-the-spot reaction command, but the daily training outside the battlefield!

Xia Chen's dominance in this competition is visible to the naked eye, but no one is unconvinced.

In the past three years, this guy has grown step by step and become stronger bit by bit, and everyone can see clearly.

He deserves it.

Xia Chen, standing upright at the edge of the battlefield, and the luxurious and elegant Super Dianxi in front of him seemed to be talking to each other invisibly——

Want to beat me? As long as you are strong enough, I am always waiting for you!

But unfortunately, Chi Hong, who was standing on the other side of the final venue, couldn't do it.

At least for now.

Although he is still commanding Super Bulbasaur unswervingly, fighting for the possibility of victory that is so small that it is almost invisible.

In fact, when Super Diancie's characteristics were revealed by [Magic Mirror], Bulbasaur's possibility of winning was close to zero.

Change-type moves such as Parasitic Seed and Hypnotic Powder cannot be used, which means that the long-lasting combat method that grass elves are best at will not work. If Bulbasaur wants to win, it can only fight with Super Dianxi's strength.

However, in terms of offense and defense, Dianxi has greatly strengthened both defenses. In terms of speed, Dianxi still has the huge flying bonus inherited from Xianbu, but Bulbasaur has lost [Chlorophyll].

Not to mention that in terms of her own quality, Dianxi is much stronger than Bulbasaur.

So even if Super Bulbasaur's herbal moves restrain the opponent, the trend on the battlefield is still almost one-sided——

Bulbasaur is retreating steadily, relying on photosynthesis to survive.

Dianxi's morale was high, and she used Diamond Storm to fight more and more smoothly.

…………

Unknowingly.

The gap between the physical condition of the two became wider and wider. Later, Dianxi even strengthened her strength in front of Bulbasaur without hesitation, making it clear that she wanted to prepare for the battle with Mosquito Swimmer and Charizard later, but the latter Nothing can be done.

Hypnotic powder doesn't work, strong attacks can't break the defense, and even swapping elves can't be done due to the cooldown of field changes.

Although even if it can be exchanged, Honghong has no better choice.

Therefore, the only thing that Bulbasaur and Red could do was to make repeated but useless attacks.

Then he fell down with hatred but powerlessness, just like the whole game.

3:1, 4:1, 5:1

As the game progressed, the point difference continued to widen step by step.

Super Bulbasaur's vine whip failed to stop Dianxi's pace, and Mosquito Swimmer's fists failed to break Dianxi's hard diamond shell.

In the end, the last remaining Charizard managed to defeat the somewhat tired Super Diancie, saving some face.

Then, he was almost defeated by the final fairy Eevee.

At this point, the finals of this Donghuang Conference have officially come to an end.

Xia Chen, who had high hopes before the game and was extremely optimistic, defeated the non-local dark horse Chihong who had advanced all the way with a big score of 6:2, and successfully won the championship of the Donghuang Conference, which is known as "the most valuable in history".

When the fire-breathing dragon fell helplessly under the fairy cloth and satin, the entire audience was excited.

Thunderous applause and cheers echoed throughout the huge arena, and people shouted the names of their favorite players.

There are Xia Chen, who has shown absolute dominance, like a big devil, Chi Hong, who has repeatedly created miracles, and even Mikoli Daigo, who failed to reach the finals, they also have many fans.

A wonderful competition is not just about the champion, but about all the contestants blooming!

Then, the voices echoing in the field formed a combined force, seeming to be shouting a sentence together. More and more people joined in, and the voice became clearer and clearer.

Xia Chen in the field heard clearly——

Xia Chen! champion! Xia Chen! champion!

The "Xia Chen Family and Friends Group" in the front row viewing area was infected by the warm atmosphere and stood up to join in.

Even Mikri, who was the most elegant and usually spoke like a gentle breeze, rarely shouted loudly.

Nemo next to her was very surprised, and she increased her voice angrily, vowing to beat the others in this "competition".

I wonder if the voice was so loud that it finally attracted Wuji Titana, who came across the ocean from the Galar region to support this Donghuang Conference.

The majestic purple bone dragon hovered in the air, raining down layers of fine Galar particles, and the entire arena seemed to be covered in a dreamlike purple-gold rain.

At the bottom of the rain curtain, Xia Chen and Chihong walked to the center of the field with Senbu and Pikachu respectively, smiled at each other, and shook hands after the game.

The scene is frozen.

This snapshot also became known as "the most meaningful photo in the history of Donghuang Conference" by later generations.

…………

As usual, before the final award ceremony begins, there is a time for the finalists and the elves to recuperate.

At this moment, the healing room dedicated to both finalists was very lively.

"Damn it, I let you pretend again!"

Qinglu smiled and punched Xia Chen on the shoulder, sending his own unique congratulations on hurting a friend.

He was not idle at Chihong who was sitting a little quiet on the chair. He ran over and put his arm around his shoulder to comfort him: "It's okay, even 6:2 is already great. Even Mr. Mikri has this score. .”

——How to offend two people with one sentence.

Chi Hong rolled her eyes, thought for a while and still ignored this yin and yang childhood friend.

Mi Keli shook his head and laughed. He would not be troubled or angry about such a thing.

Others rushed over immediately to congratulate Xia Chen and Chihong, but their words were much more normal.

Mi Keli: "Congratulations, you deserve it!"

Daigo: "Wonderful game, your performance shines brighter than diamonds, but I will try my best to catch up!"

Dakoto: "Congratulations, by the way, come to my hometown to visit if you have time. Teacher Darkrai is looking forward to fighting Gullton again."

Nemo: "Hmph, don't be too proud. Next time we fight, we must defeat you!"

Wait, Senior Sister Nemo is not normal either. She talks like a bitch.

After joking and talking about the finals that had just been held, the group talked about their next goals.

Naturally, Daigo is still working hard for a seat as a king. With the background of the Fengyuan Giant Consortium Dewen Company, as long as he is strong enough, it can be said that there will be no problem at all.

And with Daigo's growth rate, it will probably be next year.

Mi Keli is ready to focus more energy on the flourishing career of the gorgeous competition.

Qinglu said that after returning to Kanto, she would study quietly with her grandfather for a period of time, and vowed to catch up with Xia Chen on the two paths of trainer and elf researcher.

Nimo is determined to win the championship of the next Padia Regional Conference, and even provocatively invites Xia Chen Daigo and others to participate, making it more difficult for her to win the championship.

Darkrai's ambitions are somewhat lofty. His goal is to be recognized by Darkrai and become a true trainer of mythical beasts.

Then, everyone turned their attention to Chi Hong and Xia Chen, very curious about what their plan was.

Chihong pondered for a moment and said: "I think I might end my trip to the Donghuang area temporarily, go back to Zhenxin Town to be with my mother for a while, and then travel to other places, such as Hezhong, Sinnoh, or just in Guandu City All?"

Qinglu's mind was slightly moved. These areas seemed to be places that Xia Chen had never been to.

Do you have to struggle with things like traveling?

Then I can't fall behind!

With a small calculation in mind, Qinglu looked at Xia Chen and asked: "Xia Chen, what about you, you are now famous, right? What are you going to do next? Prepare for next year's championship road, and compete for the Donghuang championship? Then participate in the Eight Masters Race?"

Xia Chen was stunned and did not answer the question. Instead, he asked: "Is the Eighth Masters Tournament necessarily related to the championship? I mean, you must become a champion to participate in the Eighth Masters Tournament?"

Mi Keli knows more about this aspect. He explained: "That's not true. The Eight Masters Tournament invites the eight top trainers with the highest points ranking before the start of the competition. Titles such as Champion and King have points. Bonus, so basically the champions of each major region will participate in every session.”

Xia Chen was a little troubled, "In this case, it is almost a necessary condition for me."

Although he has won all the competitions he has participated in, the one that can truly be called the top competition is the World Gym Master Competition, which probably adds more points.

…………

Xia Chen took out his mobile phone and checked the world rankings on the official website of the Trainers Association. As expected, he found himself at the thirty-eighth position.

Among them, the biggest contribution was indeed winning the title of Hall Leader and winning the World Hall Master Competition.

Even if we add the 300 points from the Donghuang Conference champion, we are estimated to have risen to around 20, which is not even a little bit behind the top eight.

If you win the championship, you can squeeze into seventh place.

After retracting his thoughts, Xia Chen asked again: "Well, if I serve as the champion, what is the minimum term of the term?"

Mi Keli had no choice but to hold his forehead. He only heard of the person who inquired for the longest time, but never heard of the person who inquired for the shortest time. This guy is really a salty fish.

Having said that, he still gave the answer.

"One year, you can resign after one year."

Xia Chen breathed a sigh of relief, "One year? That's okay."

The reluctant expression left everyone speechless, and the disgusting tone. This is the championship that countless people dream of!

And the underlying meaning of this is that the championship is his, and whether he takes it or not just depends on whether he is willing or not?

That’s too arrogant!

But if you think about it carefully, Donghuang's current champion is indeed not very strong. With Xia Chen's strength, do you really think he is qualified to say this?

Damn it, let him pretend again!

"The road to championship will start in half a year. What about before then?"

Qinglu smiled and invited, "Would you like to travel together?"

Xia Chen's eyes flickered, he shook his head and said: "Next time, I have things to deal with during this time."

Qinglu shrugged, "I guess you're going to build your island again, okay, I'll do it myself."

Island construction?

Xia Chen smiled slightly and made no excuses, but his mind drifted further away——

The original parent had been missing for several years, and was located in an archipelago in the middle of the ocean, in an area called Alola.

It’s time to untie the knot that has always existed in my heart.

…………

League calendar 2025, November 30, at five o'clock in the evening, go to the Beijing International Arena.

Although it is evening time, it is already night in Shangjing in winter.

At this time, nearly two hours had passed since the end of the Donghuang Competition finals, but the auditorium in the entire arena was still crowded and not deserted at all.

Even under the light, the brightly lit arena looked even more lively.

Everyone is waiting for the arrival of this significant moment of the award ceremony, which will bring a successful conclusion to this wonderful conference.

Soon, the three trainers who won the first, second and third place stepped onto the main stage of the arena with their elves that were glowing after treatment.

There stood a rather large three-step podium.

There is no other way, the podium needs to accommodate three trainers and all their main elves standing on it.

You must know that among them there are real [heavyweight] elves like Kirbymon and Boscodora.

But even though Chihong and Daigo have these two guys, the biggest pressure is still on the highest championship podium——

Xia Chen directly brought all the elves to the podium, including Guluton and Deoxys, who had never been in the competition.

Logically speaking, it would be nice for the elf who didn't play to get a championship ring. There was no reason for him to stand on the podium, but the organizers didn't dare to have any objections.

Please, this is a legendary elf. Being on the podium is just to give you face, okay?

Therefore, the lineup on the championship podium is astonishingly luxurious.

There are three legendary elves, Guluton, Deoxys, and Dianxi, as well as many rare and even unique elves, such as the green dragon, the green dragon, Zoroark, and Saifuhao.

Highlight one who is handsome and capable of fighting.

After all the elves stood still on the stage, the award ceremony officially began.

The rankings are from low to high, starting with the third runner-up, the famous gemstone researcher, the eldest son of the Dewen Foundation, and the only designated next champion of the Hoenn Alliance—Zivuki Daigo!

The awarding guest was Dai Shu, the Steel King, one of the current Four Heavenly Kings of Donghuang. The two smiled and faced the camera and took a group photo.

Next is the runner-up, the biggest dark horse of this Donghuang Conference and the only person Xia Chen has designated to fight - Chihong!

It is true that he does not have as many titles as Daigo for the time being, but his strength is not bad at all, and he is even better.

After all, it was Dawu who advanced to the finals.

The warm applause that broke out from the audience also showed that the audience recognized him.

The award-giving guests are also quite distinguished. The previous champion of the Donghuang League and the current president of Beijing University, Yu Chaohua.

Perhaps because of Xia Chen's successful victory, Lao Yu was in a very uneasy mood today. He made a childish face at Xia Chen before awarding the medal to Chi Hong and then taking a group photo.

…………

Finally, the winner of this conference is naturally Xia. Famous elf researcher, discoverer of the three major elf specializations, friend of the people of Hoenn Kalos Galar region, voted most popular trainer in 2024, and many other honors. ·Chen!

At this time, the atmosphere reached a climax, and everyone stood up and cheered in an almost fanatical atmosphere.

Gu Kunshan, the current Donghuang champion who presented the award to Xia Chen, smiled slightly and shook his head. He took the championship trophy from the ace elf Guili next to him and handed it to Xia Chen.

"Thanks!"

Xia Chen nodded his thanks, took the heavy trophy with both hands, took a group photo as usual and passed it to Doron Baruto who couldn't wait to play with the trophy.

Gu Kunshan put his arm around Xia Chen's shoulders and smiled: "Congratulations, you will lead Donghuang's future."

Xia Chen was neither overly modest nor arrogant enough to say "Lao Deng, your era is over" or anything like that. He just nodded with a smile.

"Thank you, Gu Champion. I hope to get your advice next year."

The meaning is self-evident - see you at the end of our road to championship.

Gu Kunshan, who was over thirty and still young, was slightly startled, and then said in a deep voice: "I'm so angry, but don't underestimate the strength of the current champion!"

After saying that, he smiled first, "Just kidding, haha, I'll wait for you next year."

The two smiled at each other, and then the presenters stepped off the stage, leaving the stage to the three protagonists today.

The championship trophy went around in the hands of the elves, and finally returned to Xia Chen's hands.

He felt the heavy weight in his hand and suddenly smiled with emotion.

Perhaps this is not the most valuable championship he has ever won in the traditional sense——

The honors of the World Youth Championship champion and the World Gymnasium Main Tournament champion are higher than those of the Donghuang Conference champion who is just a league.

But this championship has extraordinary meaning to him.

When you first came to this world three years ago, would you have thought of the high-spirited life you have now?

If we apply the beginning of a world famous book——

Many years later, facing an audience roaring with shouts of the title of champion, Donghuang Conference champion Xia Chen will recall the morning when he picked up Ibrahimovic.

Xia Chen lowered his head with feeling, and his eyes met those pair of light blue eyes that contained countless complex emotions.

In a daze, he seemed to see that little furry guy curled up on the bluestone street, his body trembling.

"Thank you, Eevee."

He whispered in his heart.

The soft and warm satin was wrapped around his hands, and Xia Chen's heartfelt voice was answered.

"Thank you, idiot. No matter where in the world I am, it's great to meet you!"

Xia Chen suddenly felt his nose was a little sore. He raised his hand and rubbed his eyes.

Strange, isn’t the sandstorm over yet?
