Greatest Pokémon Trainer

Although Cain knew that Fang Yuan seemed to be a very remarkable Researcher, when it came to his Abba's love, he and Abba could not possibly pull their punches.

Neither Cain nor Salu De had ever truly entertained the thought of losing.

After all, as far as Cain could remember, he had never encountered a Pokemon stronger than his own Abba's, be it the wild ones or those tamed by Human Trainers; none had been their match.

Even those internationally renowned Masters, they had defeated quite a few together, and the Chairman of the UK Association was no match for them in a 1VS1 battle.

In such circumstances, even before the battle had started, Cain felt as if victory was already assured, and Salu De, without any particular expression, sharpened its claws.

Apart from the combatants' identities being highly topical, this time, President Antonio also temporarily took on the role of Referee.

"The two of you, stop at a touch. Cain and Salu De, in the battles you fought before, you were too ruthless. This isn't the wild; there's no need for every move to be lethal."

Since Cain and Salu De had lived in the wild before and had no rules of combat to speak of, they had grown accustomed to fighting like wild beasts in a way that was not very friendly, even after integrating into Human society.

President Antonio did not want them to continue this way.

"Doctor Fang Yuan, I will act as the Referee for this battle, if that's all right with you."

To avoid any accidents, President Antonio decided to serve as the Referee himself, so he could stop the battle if the situation turned sour.

Both Cain and Fang Yuan nodded in agreement.

"Then let's begin."

As the arena's facilities were fortified, Fang Yuan said,

"Good!" President Antonio nodded and proceeded to the Referee's stand.

At that moment, out of respect for the President of the God's Domain Committee and the Alliance Honorary President, the noisy venue instantly quieted down, the crowd uniformly turned their attention to Cain and Fang Yuan.

The audience knew the battle was about to begin...

How would this preposterous fight unfold?

At this moment, the venue was extremely quiet.

The gaze of countless people landed on President Antonio, whose eyes, in turn, swept over Fang Yuan and Cain.

Seeing that both were ready, he took a deep breath.

Then, he loudly announced,

"The battle... begins!"

...

As the command to start the battle was issued, Kani, Shang Ren, Fujiwara Haruka, various passerby Trainers, and the major media all held their breath simultaneously.

In the hush of the venue, Cain's voice was the first to be heard.

"Abba, go for it!"

As his voice echoed, Salu De by his side stepped toward the center of the arena, its powerful hostility materializing and spreading, creating a terrifying aura of malice.

"Salu————!!!"

Salu De raised its head, suddenly letting out a roar that resonated throughout the Dazzling Fire Arena, no, it was so penetrating that it was unclear how far it had spread.

The immense Growl almost made everyone cover their ears, trembling inside.

The black miasma of malice nearly shrouded the entire battlefield.

"This loud roar... What is it trying to do?"

"It doesn't seem to be targeting anyone specifically, it just wants the sound to carry. Otherwise, weaker Pokemon would have already fainted under its terrifying aura."

"As king of the jungle, with just this roar alone, Salu De could make countless Pokemon submit to it," commented a Dark Type master who covered his ears.

A small number of individuals with Special Abilities understood Salu De's intention.

This creature wanted to attract Shaymin's attention on Alliance Island with its roar!

"It wants to draw Shaymin to watch the battle," Master Kong Hai pondered.

As countless people were absorbed in Salu De's roaring, at the same time, on the opposite side, Fang Yuan also slowly pressed the Poké Ball.

The red light flickered, and the ground rumbled.

The Giant Venusaur, towering four or five meters with an even more massive figure, exuded an aura of dominance as it swept its gaze over the Phantom Pokemon in front of it and also burst into an enormous Growl.

"Venusaur!!!"

Venusaur… Venusaur… Venusaur… Venusaur…

The Growl, like waves or a Tsunami, instantly overpowered Salu De's loud roar. Although at first, this Growl was much quieter than the roaring, as time passed, in just 2 or 3 seconds, the arena was filled with the sound of Venusaur's Growl!

It wasn't any special sound-based Move, just an ordinary Growl.

However, the terrifying suppressive force covered Salu De's roar completely.

The combination of a Growl and Wave Power, creating a formidable sonic wave, seemed to have a good effect when used to Growl at someone, and Venusaur looked proudly at Salu De before it.

In that moment, as the sound of "Venusaur" echoed through the arena, in an instant, all eyes were drawn to Venusaur.

The immense figure of Venusaur made many swallow hard, although many Trainers were prepared for Venusaur's substantial size since it had appeared in the world competition, so they weren't too shocked.

However, despite their mental preparation for Venusaur's immense stature, as the sunlight pierced the malaise covering the field and hit Venusaur, casting a vast golden aura around it like a storm sweeping forth, many onlookers' pupils shrank in awe.
