Kanaz City.
Devon Corporation.
The sky was barely dawn, in the reception hall.
Two handsome and distinguished young men were having a luxurious breakfast here.
Buns, soup, congee, siu mai, sushi, and all sorts of other dishes were readily available.
Daigo looked at Mikuri and chuckled, "My friend, why the long face? Is it because I called you over so suddenly?"
Mikuri's face was dark, "No. It's about Ye Feng."
"Ye Feng?"
Upon mentioning this person, Daigo's brow furrowed.
"Did he upset you?"
Mikuri nodded, and then recounted the matter concerning Ye Feng and Nagi.
After finishing, Daigo was silent for a moment before saying, "There are plenty of fish in the sea; why cling to a single branch?"
"If you want a woman, what kind of woman can't you get?"
Daigo comforted Mikuri for a while, then took out an envelope from his embrace.
The envelope was open.
Mikuri took the envelope.
Daigo: "Take a look."
Mikuri glanced at it and took out the letter from the envelope.
The letter was on a large sheet of white paper.
The content was as follows:
"You are the most promising and talented Pokémon Trainer, and I, as the strongest Pokémon Trainer, invite you to my banquet."
That was all.
There wasn't even a sender.
Mikuri couldn't help but frown, "What the heck?"
Daigo took a deep breath, "This letter was delivered to me by a Dragonite."
He picked up the envelope, and there were words on the back of it.
"July 24th, Saffron City, Kanto, take the first ferry."
"July 24th, it's still more than a week away."
Mikuri: "Are you going?"
Daigo: "I'm going, and I want you to come with me."
Mikuri: "What am I supposed to do there? And you shouldn't go either, this might just be a prank."
Daigo shook his head, "No, I can sense that there's something extraordinary about this."
"I have a premonition."
Mikuri couldn't refuse, "Alright, I'll accompany you."
"However, in two months, the Hoenn Grand Festival will begin. I was wondering how I would deal with Ye Feng then. Should I just surrender like Lance and the Elite Four of Kanto and Johto?!"
Daigo was silent for a moment, "I don't have a good idea either. If his Gengar could be banned in the tournament, that would be great. But Gengar is too common, unlike Rayquaza; it's hard to ban."
Daigo patted Mikuri's shoulder.
"Alright, brother. You know I have Groudon. In the future, I will help you get revenge. As for Nagi, she'll be your slave then; you can do whatever you want with her."
Mikuri remained silent.
But the anger in his heart was rising steadily.
He truly wished to kill Ye Feng.
Yes, kill Ye Feng.
End it all.
...
Nagi was no longer an ordinary person, so she didn't fall behind during the high-intensity training sessions with Ye Feng.
But unfortunately, Ye Feng was getting a bit tired of it.
After all, coaching someone to train all the time would get tiresome for anyone.
Therefore, Ye Feng made an excuse that he had something to do and bid farewell to Nagi. Coincidentally, Nagi also needed to continue training her Skarmory to become an Elite Four member and the League Champion.
At this moment, Ye Feng was preparing to return to Kanto.
He hadn't seen Hanako in a long time and wanted to see how she was doing.
But just then, a chubby, orange Dragonite descended from the sky.
It had to be said, Dragonite were incredibly cute, especially their large eyes.
As this Dragonite landed,
It was seen to have a backpack on its body.
It took out a letter from the backpack and handed it to Ye Feng.
"For me?"
Ye Feng took the letter.
The front of the envelope had nothing written on it.
Just three words: Invitation.
The back read: July 24th, Saffron City, Kanto, take the first ferry.
The content of the letter: "You are the most promising and talented Pokémon Trainer, and I, as the strongest Pokémon Trainer, invite you to my banquet."
After reading the letter, Ye Feng was stunned for a moment.
Then, shortly after, he realized what this was.
This was Mewtwo's invitation, wasn't it?
Inviting some trainers to seek the meaning of existence.
"Alright, Mew, you found me yourself and came to my doorstep. If I don't go, it would be unreasonable."
With a curl of his lips,
Ye Feng felt that Mewtwo was too arrogant. Who else could it have sent the invitation to besides him?
"Wait, since they sent it to me, there must be others, right? I remember Ash should be here too."
Ye Feng recalled that was how the movie went.
But this was reality, so everything became even more uncertain.
"July 24th, there are two days left. I need to get back to Kanto."
Ye Feng had to hurry, or he'd miss his chance with Mewtwo.
Kanto, Saffron City.
A large metropolis, and the headquarters of Silph Co. were located here.
Most famous was the Saffron Department Store.
There was also a port here, though it was a small one.
When Ye Feng arrived at this port, a crowd had already gathered.
Among them were Ash, Brock, May, and Max.
Ye Feng greeted them.
After some conversation, they all learned that they had been invited by someone who claimed to be the strongest Pokémon Trainer.
"I really wonder who this Pokémon Trainer who claims to be the strongest is?"
Ash said excitedly.
And at this moment.
"Ye Feng?"
A voice accompanied by a few figures.
Ye Feng and Ash's group turned around.
It was Daigo and Mikuri.
When Ye Feng, Daigo, and Mikuri saw each other, they were all surprised.
They had absolutely no idea that the other had also received an invitation.
Then.
Mikuri showed no outward reaction, but his heart was filled with extreme hatred for Ye Feng.
"You're Mr. Mikuri?! The famous Pokémon Contest Master?!!!!"
May exclaimed excitedly, coming up to Mikuri with eyes full of admiration.
As is well known.
May was also a Contest Trainer, so meeting Mikuri, who could be called a master among Contest Trainers, naturally filled her with excitement.
Mikuri smiled at May.
But then he noticed that May, Ash, and Ye Feng seemed to have a good relationship.
His patience immediately waned.
"Ye Feng, Daigo, you're both here?"
Another voice called out.
Everyone turned to look.
They saw another handsome man approaching.
Steven.
At this moment.
The three trainers who possessed the three legendary Pokémon of Hoenn were all gathered.
The three exchanged glances.
Steven was the first to greet Ye Feng, undoubtedly after a long time.
As for Daigo.
They exchanged a few words, but there was no warmth.
After all, their families' companies were competitors.
Steven's arrival.
Also caused some surprise among the invited guests.
Double Champion, Ye Feng.
League Champion Daigo, Contest Master Mikuri.
Plus Steven, the son of Silph Co.
The person who invited them had gathered such formidable individuals?
This was what ordinary people would think.
But Ye Feng, Daigo, and the others thought differently.
These ordinary people only knew that Ye Feng possessed Rayquaza.
But they didn't know that Steven and Daigo had Groudon and Kyogre.
Therefore.
A keen observer could notice.
Aside from Ye Feng, Steven, and Daigo.
The other invited trainers were all relatively unknown, at most on Ash's level.
Trainers who repeatedly fought and lost, and repeatedly fought again.
It was as if these people were mere foils for the renowned trainers like Ye Feng.
