Chapter 480: Double Return of Bronzong and Hakamo-o
Sanctuary Club vs. War God Club: Basalt narrowly won and took one point.
Then, Sanctuary was completely swept by War God.
Dong Lin'er was unlucky, encountering Kong Linfang, and was beaten badly. Hua Duo fought back and forth with the opponent, making it spectacular, but unfortunately, she was slightly inferior in skills and was defeated by the opponent who seized an opportunity.
This points match started at nine o'clock and lasted until ten-thirty, finally coming to an end. Except for Basalt's exceptionally outstanding performance, the others could only be considered average.
At the same time, although Basalt's official individual ranking was still within the top fifty, almost everyone in the clubs silently classified him into the top twenty. Basalt became the brightest star among the many rising stars in the Huaxia Professional League.
In the following months, Basalt was either cultivating, on an expedition, or on the way to an expedition. Due to continuous battles against extremely outstanding opponents, Basalt could clearly feel himself becoming stronger. Not only the strength of his Pokémon but also his commanding ability and on-the-spot reaction ability. Although these abilities were invisible and intangible, they were actually very important in actual combat. This is the importance of a good opponent.
In this environment, Basalt really dared not slack off for a moment. As long as he didn't die from intense competition, he would compete to the death!
However, luck would eventually run out. In the subsequent time, Basalt finally encountered a top 10 existence in the league's individual ranking, also known as a ceiling-level Pro-level trainer.
Result: Basalt suffered a crushing defeat!
The opponent, with just one Ninjask, successively knocked down two generals, Excadrill and Cradily. Because that Ninjask was simply too fast. Just its normal speed wasn't slower than Excadrill boosted by the "Sand Rush" ability, and its ability was "Speed Boost," increasing speed every so often. Besides, it also knew Agility and Tailwind.
At that moment, Basalt truly understood what "in the world of martial arts, only speed is unbreakable" meant! Ninjask's speed was too fast; so fast that even ordinary attacks, boosted by its super speed, would become explosive in power and extremely terrifying.
Crucially, that Ninjask also knew "Baton Pass"; if things went wrong, it could retreat directly and switch to a companion. Unplayable! And unstoppable. Even with Taunt, it had to hit. But once Ninjask completed a speed boost, it basically couldn't be hit. Even Tyranitar's sand could lock onto the opponent mentally, but physically, movements and moves couldn't keep up at all.
So Basalt concluded that next time he encountered that Ninjask, he must end the battle quickly and decisively, never dragging it out.
Of course, although Basalt suffered crushing defeats, the number was very small. After all, to ensure points, Head Coach Zhang Dongliang would try to stagger Basalt from the opponent's ace players. Basalt's record was mostly victories. Except for ceiling-level Pro-level figures, almost no one could restrain Basalt anymore.
And as famous trainers were defeated by Basalt one after another, Basalt's fame became louder and louder. Various business deals came knocking, and Basalt made a huge profit.
However, although Basalt made money fast, he spent it even faster. Anyway, the money Basalt earned basically wouldn't stay warm before turning into various supplies for his Pokémon. Especially for Hakamo-o and Bronzong who were cultivating hard and learning, Basalt took extra care of them, sending high-grade gems every once in a while. In return, the growth rate of Basalt's Pokémon was also very gratifying.
On this day, Basalt was training in the club as usual when he received a call from Director Mo Chaoyang: "Basalt, Bronzong's study has ended. Come to the bureau when you have time!"
"Bronzong's study finally ended?"
Basalt was overjoyed. Calculating carefully, it had been three or four months since Bronzong stayed at the Psychic Bureau to study. The nth day of missing Bronzong!
Hanging up the phone, Basalt rushed to the capital and met Director Mo Chaoyang, whom he hadn't seen for a long time, in the Weather Secret Realm. And Bronzong was floating behind Director Mo Chaoyang, seemingly meditating.
Mo Chaoyang looked up at the anxious Basalt and teased, "Came pretty fast!"
"That's a must!" Basalt laughed heartily.
Coincidentally at this time, Bronzong also opened its eyes.
"Bronzong, you worked hard during this time!"
"Although hard, the results are also very gratifying." Bronzong's tone carried unconcealable excitement.
"Then I must take a good look later."
Basalt rubbed his hands excitedly, preparing to take Bronzong to an open space for a demonstration.
Who would have thought that at this time, his Pokédex rang again. Basalt picked it up and saw it was from Wu Kong. Basalt first made a pause gesture, then answered the call.
"Basalt, where are you? My cultivation in the Himalayas has come to an end. It's time to return Hakamo-o to you."
"Hakamo-o is returning too? What day is today; double generals returning simultaneously?" Basalt blinked, appearing very surprised.
"Senior, I am currently at the Weather Bureau headquarters in the capital. Is it convenient for you to come here? If not, send me a location, and I can come to find you."
Basalt reported his location and kept a low profile. This big shot Wu Kong helped him so much; Basalt was still very grateful. The friendship was remembered in his heart.
"Weather Bureau headquarters in the capital, right? That's a coincidence; a companion of mine happens to be going there too."
Wu Kong laughed heartily, "Wait there for a while; I'll call you immediately when I arrive." After speaking, Wu Kong hung up the phone.
"Hey, hey, hey..."
Basalt was caught off guard, confused. He was wondering, without him leading the way, could Wu Kong enter the Weather Secret Realm? Basalt expressed doubt.
But soon, Basalt knew he thought too much; Wu Kong's influence was greater than he imagined. He didn't come alone; accompanying him was a woman with big wavy hair wearing a light blue dress. That woman was beautiful and very elegant.
When seeing this woman, the image of Si Yu involuntarily appeared in Basalt's mind. Because the feeling the two gave him was very similar. However, the two weren't completely alike; the blue-dressed woman obviously had three parts more dominance than Si Yu. Because the Pokémon the woman rode was a Gyarados with a body length of more than ten meters. The body below the neck was wrapped in azure water, flying by controlling water, the water flow condensed but not dispersing.
This was a flying Gyarados!
Landing by the building, Wu Kong jumped directly from the Gyarados's head more than three meters high, showing his skills, extremely dashing.
"Basalt, this is your Hakamo-o."
Seeing Basalt, Wu Kong threw a Pokéball directly.
"Sorry to trouble you during this time, Senior!" Basalt was extremely grateful.
"You are Basalt?"
At the neck of Gyarados, the blue-clothed woman looked down from above, examining Basalt curiously.
"You are?" Basalt raised an eyebrow.
"Oh, Leng Leng is back? And Brother Wu Kong!"
Just then, a head popped out from the Weather Bureau building; it was Yang Cheng whom he hadn't seen for a long time. He looked at the two with a smile and said, "You two cultivated hard for more than half a year; wonder if you have confidence to win the championship in this Asian Youth Tournament?"
