"Dugtrio is unable to battle, Mega Gengar wins!"
"Since Giovanni has lost all six of his Pokémon, the winner of this battle is Mammon!"
As Dugtrio fell under Mega Gengar's Psychic, the referee announced the final battle result.
"A clear winner!"
The Sunglasses Host's excited and fervent shouts arrived as expected.
"On the highly anticipated semi-final stage, facing his father, who is also a formidable competitor, Player Mammon, with just one Mega Gengar, powerfully defeated Player Giovanni with a 1-on-6 sweep to advance to the finals!"
"Let's congratulate Player Mammon! He is truly too strong!"
Woah~!
The entire venue immediately erupted in enthusiastic cheers and thunderous applause.
A 1-on-6 sweep! And it was in the semi-finals of the World Championship.
Furthermore, the one swept was Kanto Champion Giovanni, Giovanni who possesses Primal Groudon!
"Too heavy! This blow was really too heavy!"
"Good heavens, if I hadn't seen it with my own eyes, I would never have believed it. Champion Giovanni has fallen. (Sad)"
"Isn't that too ruthless? He didn't give his old father any face at all?"
"Ahhhhh! Husband! Mammon, my husband! My husband is so handsome!"
"So strong! Mammon is so strong!"
In the live stream, various bullet comments were also furiously scrolling.
Although it wasn't an evenly matched battle, such a 1-on-6 sweep was truly thrilling.
Especially Primal Groudon, which perfectly demonstrated what tactics are, being played to death by Mega Gengar.
Possessing immense power but unable to unleash it.
"Mammon~!"
Caitlin's delicate lips curved slightly, her beautiful eyes reflecting the black-clad young man who was the center of attention in the arena.
That's it! This is how you should be!
Let the whole world be amazed by your existence!
Caitlin's heart was filled with pride and joy. The man I love is truly the strongest in the world, without equal!
"After today, I'm afraid there will be a Gengar craze in both the Kanto and Johto regions."
Cynthia was also in a bright mood at this moment, smiling faintly as she spoke.
After all, Mammon's Mega Gengar's performance was truly astonishing.
And the record is clearly laid out here; even Primal Groudon was taken down by Mega Gengar. Who else is there?
However, Gengar-line Pokémon are generally found in deep mountains and old forests, or remote abandoned buildings, making them quite difficult to find.
"Mm-hmm, I'm more interested in the finals. The finals are Mammon against Akari, after all."
Platinum bit her lip, a little troubled. One was her man, the other was her daughter.
In such a situation, Platinum didn't know who to cheer for.
"Isn't this interesting?" Cynthia smiled.
After battling his father, then battling his daughter, even Mammon would feel troubled, right?
But... it seems Akari is the same? She also defeated Platinum to advance to the semi-finals, and now the finals are against Mammon.
Cynthia found it amusing; this whole family was just too strong.
Mammon and Giovanni's battle ended, and the final match was a week later.
This battle would also determine the ultimate strongest Trainer in the world.
This was truly a global spectacle; people all over the world were waiting for the match to begin.
Akari was very serious about this final.
After all, for her, being able to battle her father with full strength on a world-class stage was a significant opportunity.
Akari was very earnest; she had to adjust her condition to the best possible state!
So, during this final rest period, Akari trained diligently every day.
As for Mammon, he spent his days basking in the sun with Little Arceus and his three beloved daughters.
For him, the battle with Akari was very meaningful, and he was quite looking forward to it, so this time...
He would bring out his strongest lineup!
In the backyard, Mammon was contemplating the lineup he would use for the finals.
"Terapagos to lead, then Dark Mewtwo, Black Rayquaza, Eternatus, Unova Kyurem, Ultra Necrozma."
Mammon mused.
Beside him, Cynthia, who overheard Mammon's low murmuring, couldn't help but look strange.
Alright, alright, using a starter Pokémon for a 1-on-6 heavy punch against his own father was one thing, but using six top-tier legendary Pokémon against his own daughter is truly ruthless?
"No, Akari has Dialga, so it's probably better to bring Giratina as well. Dark Mewtwo doesn't like to be in the limelight, so I'll swap it out."
Mammon thought for a moment and then changed his lineup. He couldn't help but regret not using Dark Mewtwo in the semi-finals.
After all, Giovanni had a part in Dark Mewtwo's creation, so he should have personally experienced Dark Mewtwo's power.
What a pity.
But thanks to the fact that Akari in this world doesn't currently have Arceus, there's still some fun to be had.
"Speaking of which, Cynthia, have you seen the wedding dresses yet?"
His thoughts returned, and Mammon looked at Cynthia, asking with a smile.
"Not yet, I've made an appointment with Caitlin and the others, and..." Cynthia smiled at Mammon.
"Mammon, as a husband, you should come with us and help us choose. What do you think?"
Although Cynthia's tone was still gentle, Mammon detected a slight dissatisfaction in her words.
But it was true, a woman's wedding dress is worn for her man to see.
"I never said I wouldn't go with you. Just set a time, and I'll join you."
Mammon chuckled.
Yes, after the World Championship concludes, Mammon's wedding with Cynthia and the others would also begin.
The wedding would be held at Team Rocket Castle. It's worth noting that Mammon would be marrying Cynthia, Caitlin, and others simultaneously this time.
This was destined to be a world-renowned wedding.
After all, since arriving in the modern era, with the end of the kingdom era and the League ruling the world, although there wasn't an explicit monogamy law, everyone had tacitly accepted it.
Polygamy wasn't nonexistent, but it was extremely rare, and holding such a grand wedding like Mammon's was even rarer.
However, Mammon wasn't afraid of drawing criticism; he didn't care much about outsiders' opinions.
"Mm~ Have the invitations been sent out?" Cynthia smiled contentedly.
"I've already had Dad send them out. The lists are all written; if you have anyone else you want to invite to the ceremony, just add them."
Mammon nodded. After the semi-finals, Giovanni had been very busy recently.
His son's lifelong event naturally meant he had a lot to do, but the old man was enjoying it, and Silver was also helping out.
Mammon looked at Little Arceus, Victini, and other Pokémon playing nearby, feeling very happy.
Time flew by; a few days passed in a blink of an eye.
Ten o'clock in the morning.
Indigo Plateau Arena was packed with people, and the number of viewers in the live stream was also rising sharply.
"Let's go! Let's go!"
"Boss is invincible! Invincible!"
"Go, Akari! Go, go, go!"
"Not being whitewashed is a success! Akari, I'm rooting for you!"
"Finally the finals, oh my god I'm so excited!"
The scene was a frenzy, and the bullet comments in the live stream were as dense as a rain shower.
"Welcome everyone to the Indigo Plateau Arena! I am the commentator for this final!"
Accompanied by inspiring background music, the Sunglasses Host made a dazzling entrance.
"The Eight Masters Tournament has finally reached its final stage! What will be held today is precisely the Eight Masters Tournament Final!"
"This battle will determine the ultimate Champion! And also the strongest Trainer in the world!"
"'Strongest,' these two words have been the most controversial topic throughout history, but today, 'it' will appear!"
The Sunglasses Host's speaking speed wasn't slow, his voice passionate and powerful.
The World Championship itself was a competition to determine the strongest king in the world.
It wasn't a regional competition but a tournament encompassing all Trainers worldwide, with even the Champions from various regions participating.
And to win such a world-class event, one would naturally be the strongest in the world!
"Now, let's give our warmest applause to our two finalists!"
"Mammon!!"
"Akari!!"
Accompanied by shouts that instantly soared to the sky, the lift platform activated.
Mammon and Akari slowly ascended, landing precisely in their respective player positions.
"Who will claim the final championship? Let's wait and see!"
As the Sunglasses Host's final words fell, Mammon and Akari's busts appeared on the big screen, positioned on the left and right.
Akari was incredibly excited at this moment, especially seeing her father standing opposite her.
Since childhood, Mammon had always been her idol and aspiration.
Akari's desire to become a Trainer was also influenced by her family; whether it was her father, or her mothers, they were all powerful Trainers.
And what was her goal after becoming a Trainer?
Akari wasn't entirely sure, but she knew that the person she most wanted to challenge... was standing right opposite her!
So Akari was truly excited at this moment; she had so much to say, but for a moment, she didn't know what to say.
The referee entered to announce the battle rules, and on the large screen, the pointer representing who went first began to spin.
It finally stopped on Mammon's side.
"My first move? Not bad."
Mammon chuckled softly, took out a Poké Ball, and looked at Akari.
"Akari, you've come all this way, so now let me see how much you've grown during your journey in Hisui."
"Today, I will battle you in my strongest form!"
