Ye Feng: "Is that so?"
"But I have to tell you, Groudon and Kyogre are not with me."
Ye Feng was speechless.
Groudon and Kyogre had long since been digested and turned into excrement.
Then flushed into the sewer, even if you asked him to retrieve them, he wouldn't have the ability.
"Daisuke and Mikuri must have told you this news."
Ye Feng knew with a single thought.
These two scoundrels.
"At that time, after I captured Groudon and Kyogre, I immediately released them."
"There's no need to lie to you, I can guarantee this, because there's no need. After all, my Rayquaza was given to Professor Oak and the others for research without a second word back then."
After hearing this, Furong looked very disappointed.
The Ice-type Elite Four member, Bonnie, stood up at this moment. "If that's the case, then we'll be leaving."
Ye Feng looked at Bonnie.
Around thirty-five years old.
Fair skin, beautiful features.
A purple dress, a typical noblewoman's attire.
This kind of woman was irresistible to men.
Ye Feng smiled: "Furong, Bonnie, it's not easy for you two to come all this way. I'll tell you something so that you haven't come in vain."
"That is, Mikuri and Daisuke have lost all their main Pokémon, if you are interested in Mikuri's Champion position, you can make a move."
Bang!
Hearing this.
Furong and Bonnie looked at each other in shock.
Then.
"Thank you."
The two of them didn't care about anything else and hurried away.
Looking at the retreating backs of the two women.
Ye Feng yawned and continued to enjoy the sea breeze and bask in the sun here.
He was waiting here for the Indigo League tournament, which was less than two months away.
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye, it was the day of the tournament's opening.
And in these less than two months, something that shocked Hoenn happened.
That was.
One of Hoenn's Elite Four, the Dragon-type Elite Four member Lance, challenged Mikuri!
It should be known that gym leaders could challenge the Elite Four at any time.
The same applied to the Elite Four challenging the League Champion.
Then came.
Lance vs. Mikuri.
It should be known that Lance had never challenged Mikuri since his defeat three or four years ago!
Could he win this time?!
And what everyone did not expect was.
Mikuri, in response to this challenge, was completely defeated by Lance.
He had no power to fight back at all.
It made one wonder if this Mikuri had taken bribes.
Or if this person was an imposter.
But no matter what.
Mikuri lost, and that was that.
Losing before the opening of the Indigo League tournament, it was hard to say whether to be happy or sad.
Although he lost, Mikuri was at least an Elite Four member.
Fallen from the League Champion.
But before Mikuri could breathe a sigh of relief.
His Elite Four position was challenged again.
It was the gym leader of Fortree City, Tate.
Challenging Mikuri.
Mikuri was once again thoroughly defeated.
He lost his Elite Four position.
And was demoted to a gym leader.
If he wished, he could be the new gym leader of Fortree City.
But could he accept such a series of humiliating defeats?!
What made it even worse was.
How did the news that all his main Pokémon were gone get out?!
It must have been Ye Feng!!!
What made him even more distressed was that his ex-girlfriend Tate, after becoming Ye Feng's woman.
Actually took advantage of his weakness to attack him.
Kicking him while he was down.
Thus.
Mikuri suffered such great humiliation, how could he possibly continue being a gym leader?!
He resigned immediately!
It was me who fired you!
Not you firing me!
Although the storm on Mikuri's side had ended.
But Tate's side was not yet over.
After she became the Flying-type Elite Four member.
She challenged Lance, who had just become the League Champion.
What was unexpected was that Lance was completely defeated by Tate.
Tate's Skarmory was simply an invincible existence on the battlefield.
Invincible!
Just like Ye Feng's red-striped Pikachu and his shiny Gengar back then!
Giving a feeling of despair and invincibility!
Then.
Now in the Hoenn Indigo League:
Elite Four: Sidney, Phoebe, Glacia, Drake.
There was no change here.
The only change was the League Champion, who went from Mikuri to his ex-girlfriend Tate.
Although the change was not significant.
The twists and turns were not small.
...
The competition venue for the Hoenn Indigo League was in Cianwood City.
This was an island on the easternmost part of the Hoenn region.
This city prospered entirely because of the Indigo League tournament.
When Ye Feng arrived here.
It was no different from participating in the previous two tournaments.
The only difference was the competition rules.
This time, after registering, Ye Feng first checked the tournament rules.
Last time, they banned legendary Pokémon from participating, what new rules would be added this time?
Ye Feng carefully read all the rules of the tournament.
He found that the rule banning legendary Pokémon from participating was still there.
This rule would likely be permanently added.
And another rule had been added:
Killing, excessive damage, or causing irreversible damage such as permanent coma to the opponent's Pokémon was prohibited. The maximum damage was incapacitation. Violators would be disqualified.
This rule was thought up by some genius.
It completely countered Ye Feng.
Prohibiting killing and excessive damage was because Ye Feng had previously used his red-striped Pikachu to overwork the opponent's Pokémon, forcing them to surrender early. This was to intimidate the next opponents into surrendering in advance.
And the second, permanent coma, wasn't it to disallow shiny Gengar from devouring souls?
Then there was the "etc." for various irreversible damages.
The maximum damage was incapacitation...
In summary, various methods were used to prevent Ye Feng.
This was also the first time since the first tournament that such a situation had occurred.
Rules were added twice for one person.
And in Cianwood City at this moment.
Many people's discussions became lively with the start of the tournament tomorrow.
The first topic of discussion was Ye Feng.
It was all about this newly added rule.
Those participating contestants were fortunate to have this rule.
After all, it was rumored that the Pokémon that encountered Ye Feng's shiny Gengar in the Johto Silver Conference had not yet woken up.
Even so.
Ye Feng was still unstoppable.
The second was the new Champion, Tate.
"Sigh, there's no need to watch the Indigo League tournament this time, it will definitely be Ye Feng."
"However, the League Champion might not be him this time."
Seven or eight male and female trainers gathered around to discuss.
"Yeah, Tate's Skarmory is too powerful, it defeated Lance by itself. I estimate that even if Ye Feng wins the tournament championship this time and defeats the Elite Four afterward, he will lose to Tate."
"Perhaps, but it's much better than the Kanto and Johto conferences back then, where there was no hope at all."
"Hey, it seems like someone has set up a betting pool over there, betting on who will win in the end, Ye Feng or Tate, shall we try our luck a couple of times?"
These seven or eight people all went to the betting pool.
This kind of open betting pool was not large and was permitted.
If you wanted to play in a large betting pool, you had to go underground because large betting pools were officially prohibited.
And these small, open ones were just for fun and amusement.
Among the seven or eight people.
All the men bet on Tate to win in the end.
And the women all bet on Ye Feng.
