Everyone was discussing and guessing about tomorrow's match.
It was certainly not about who would win the championship.
The championship was likely to go to Ye Feng.
They wondered if Du She, in the finals tomorrow, would surrender like the others who had faced Ye Feng.
"Sigh, this Ye Feng. Back then, if we could have met such an opponent in a tournament, it would have been exciting, a chance to spar and train oneself against a trainer of this caliber. But he's an exception."
Everyone wanted to battle against top trainers to hone their skills.
If Ye Feng were any other Elite Four or Champion, those people wouldn't have surrendered; they would have fought to the very end.
But facing Ye Feng, the Demon King.
The only option was to surrender without even fighting.
Thinking about it, since the various Pokémon tournaments began, this was only the second time such a situation had occurred.
Where people didn't even dare to fight.
And the first time was during the Indigo Plateau Conference, also with Ye Feng.
Countless people were discussing tomorrow's match.
More importantly, they hoped that Du She would at least put up a fight tomorrow, so that Ye Feng wouldn't win the championship so easily.
Meanwhile, in the dormitory building, in Ye Feng's room.
The atmosphere was quite intimate.
It was 9:30 PM.
Ye Feng and Lorelei sat by the wooden table in the room.
On the table were some crispy fried chicken and cola.
Ye Feng: "Tomorrow the tournament champion will be decided, and then the new league champion will also be determined. And tomorrow also signifies that you will be mine."
Ye Feng's gaze was undisguised.
Despite being an Elite Four member, Lorelei's face was flushed red at such a situation.
"That's not certain. Last time, you became the Kanto League Champion because of your Rayquaza. But this time, without Rayquaza, it's rather difficult relying solely on that Shiny Gengar. I believe Lance and the others must have a way to deal with your Shiny Gengar."
Lorelei's tone lacked confidence.
Ye Feng didn't speak. Instead, he strode towards Lorelei and suddenly embraced her, giving her a deep kiss.
Lorelei's lips trembled, and she pushed Ye Feng away.
"You, we have an agreement!"
"And even if you win tomorrow and we become boyfriend and girlfriend, we can't do that kind of thing immediately..."
Lorelei's voice trailed off.
Ye Feng: "Is that so? If that's what you think, then why did you proactively bring fried chicken and cola to find me tonight?"
Lorelei: "I..."
Ye Feng: "Don't explain. You actually want to be with me, but that agreement is just an excuse. You don't want me to see you acting so unreservedly."
"You don't want me to think you're a loose woman."
"However, I'm not a loose man either."
"Alright, Lorelei, that agreement starts early. Anyway, I'll definitely be the league champion."
"If you didn't like me, you wouldn't have agreed to this arrangement."
Lorelei had no words to retort.
Ye Feng kissed her deeply again.
This time, she didn't refuse.
Instead, she pondered if she was so easily giving herself away?
But there was no time to think.
Lorelei was conquered.
It was truly a blissful night.
In the early morning, Ye Feng woke up. He had a match to compete in today.
He looked at Lorelei, who was still fast asleep.
Ye Feng smiled slightly.
The Indigo Plateau.
Today was the most exciting and important day.
Because today, barring any surprises, both the tournament champion and the league champion would be decided.
Moreover, the Indigo Plateau stadium was also different today.
The tournament staff had set up cameras for live broadcasting.
The data showed that the viewership for this match was the highest in the history of the Indigo Plateau Conference.
There was no other way.
Firstly, most people in Johto would be watching. Then, Kanto and Johto were originally one entity, even though they were divided into regions. Coupled with Ye Feng's previous influence at the Indigo Plateau Conference.
This led to many people in Kanto also watching the Johto conference.
Furthermore, people from other regions, Hoenn, Sinnoh, etc., were watching this match in much larger numbers than usual.
There was only one reason: they were all coming for Ye Feng.
Ye Feng's name was as bright as the sun.
And in today's audience stands.
There was a large group of people wearing cloaks.
Many were from the Dragon Family, here to cheer for their young master, Lance.
Besides them were Lance's fans.
After all, Lance was also a world-renowned trainer and the League Champion.
He had a huge number of fans.
And his fans had a distinct characteristic: wearing cloaks.
However, looking around, they were almost all men, with very few women.
It couldn't be helped.
Lance originally had many female fans, but they were all snatched away by Ye Feng later.
Female fans were always fickle.
They went to whoever was more handsome, whoever was stronger.
At this moment, amidst the clamor of the crowd.
Ye Feng and Du She stood in the arena. The match was still ten minutes away from officially starting.
The Indigo Plateau stadium.
On the main stage.
Stood eight people.
The small old man at the head was, naturally, the President of the Pokémon League, Lance's father.
The remaining few were:
The Psychic-type Elite Four of the Indigo Plateau Conference: Will.
The Poison-type Elite Four: Koga.
The Fighting-type Elite Four: Bruno.
The Dark-type Elite Four: Karen.
Then, the Johto Indigo League Champion: Lance!
The remaining two.
One was an old man, the other a middle-aged man.
Both wore cloaks and were full of vigor.
They were Lance's father and grandfather, respectively.
The grandfather was the patriarch of the Dragon Family, and the father was the next patriarch, the young master.
At this moment, their gazes were all fixed below.
They felt a tingling sensation at their scalps.
They were all battle-hardened, yet they had never felt such a challenging battle.
"I said it before, your contacting others to ban Ye Feng's Rayquaza, to ban Legendary Pokémon from competing, was all useless. Now look at yourselves, you've brought shame upon yourselves. That Shiny Gengar of his, if you don't surrender, you'll turn your Pokémon into vegetables."
"If you surrender."
"It's even more humiliating than being instantly defeated by Rayquaza."
"Surrendering without a fight has always been the most insulting thing."
At this moment, Lance's father had lost his usual jovial and amiable demeanor.
Instead, his eyes were filled with extreme coldness.
Lance's grandfather: "Hmph, no one can see the future. Who knew he had such a bizarre Gengar? I think we should ban his Gengar too!!!!"
"Ban his Shiny Gengar?!"
Lance's father couldn't help but let out a cold laugh: "You and others voted, held meetings, and banned the Legendary Pokémon Rayquaza because only Ye Feng had a Legendary Pokémon. The reason was that Legendary Pokémon were too powerful, making it unfair to others. But what reason do you have to ban Shiny Gengar?"
"Use the reason that Shiny Pokémon cannot participate?!"
Lance's father sneered.
"It's useless. This time, you have absolutely no reason to ban Shiny Gengar."
"Because the scope of 'shiny' is too broad. Ye Feng isn't the only one who owns Shiny Pokémon. If you only ban Gengar, then aren't you clearly targeting him? I'm very sorry, but I tolerated you last time, and I won't do it again this time!"
"After all, I have to consider the entire world. Ye Feng possesses Rayquaza. If he were to be provoked by your overly obvious and deliberate targeting, the consequences would be unimaginable!"
