Candice from Snowpoint Gym before, Valerie from Laverre Gym now... would he be able to collect the grand slam achievement of being challenged by every Gym Leader without participating in Gym battles in the future?
Hearing Valerie's challenge declaration, such a thought inevitably rose in Hakuya's heart.
As for agreeing or not, he naturally wasn't a coward lizard (timid person). Taking every challenge seriously was the basic quality of every Pokémon Trainer. He also wanted to take this opportunity to try the newly acquired Mega Evolution and see how the actual combat performance was.
However, Hakuya scanned the surroundings, asking doubtfully.
"I have no problem, but this cafe shouldn't have a place for battle, right?"
"Wrong answer~"
As soon as the extremely soft and charming voice from the Fairy mature sister fell, under Hakuya and Gardevoir's slightly surprised gazes, they saw the wall painted with magnificent pastel colors directly in front rumbling and moving to both sides, opening completely.
"Didn't expect there to be a hidden world..." "Gar~"
Looking at the battle field completely revealed before him, illuminated by pale pink lights, Hakuya couldn't help sighing softly.
And at this moment, Valerie just elegantly and appropriately folded her hands on her lower abdomen. Those butterfly-like dress long sleeves fell lightly accordingly. She lowered her eyebrows, smiled lightly, and bent her knees slightly, bowing to Hakuya.
"So, please treat me well."
The audience seats were already crowded with female Trainers who came upon hearing the news.
Hearing there would be a Pokémon duel next, these girls, mature sisters, and noble ladies who were originally having tea parties in the cafe, leisurely enjoying the beautiful afternoon time, put down the cups in their hands, rushing here like chasing stars.
"Miss Valerie, Miss Valerie, Miss Valerie!!!"
On the rectangular battle field, the moment that enchanting, soft, charming mature sister wearing a magnificent dress like a butterfly appeared, the audience erupted with tsunami-like screams of "Lord Valerie."
Owner of this cafe, famous fashion designer, Gym Leader of Laverre Gym in Kalos region, plus possessing unparalleled beauty like a fairy... Four superimposed were enough to trigger round after round of fiercer cheering waves.
"That... That is..."
And just as the screams like tearing silk fell, many girls sitting in the front row widened their beautiful eyes, suddenly attracted by Hakuya walking from the other side. The originally uniform slogans also broke off accordingly.
"Uuu~ So handsome—"
A round-faced girl wearing round-frame glasses with a bob hairstyle clasped her hands on her chest, eyes full of peach hearts.
This situation of being lovestruck wasn't an individual case. Instead, the moment Hakuya appeared, like a stone thrown into the heart of a lake, waves of "Wow," "Oh my god" screams replaced the initial cheers for Valerie's appearance.
"Seems you are really popular, Hakuya~"
Sensing the strangeness from the audience seats, Valerie covered her mouth and chuckled lightly.
The original purpose of establishing "Fairy Whisper" Cafe was partly as a resting place for her occasional visits to the Sinnoh region from Kalos, and partly to build a communication platform for local female Trainers who liked Fairy-type Pokémon. Besides tea parties, occasionally Pokémon duels would also be held in the hidden battle field.
Just didn't expect under such home advantage, her little fangirls, upon seeing Hakuya, mostly chose to defect immediately...
Valerie looked at Hakuya before her, her bright charming purple beautiful eyes also full of soft charming spring feelings.
"Mmm..."
At this time, facing such a scene, Hakuya could only shake his head helplessly.
For some unknown reason, the more attributes loaded, the stronger his incubus constitution, and the number of nymphos provoked also rose accordingly. If not for Valerie, the owner, suppressing them, that gang of lovestruck female Trainers in the stands might rush over and surround him directly.
"So now, the duel between Laverre Gym Leader Valerie and challenger Hakuya will begin. The rule is 2v2. When all Pokémon of either side lose combat capability, the duel ends."
Standing in the middle of the field, Linnea and Kali, consciously acting as judges for this battle, raised their hands and shouted.
"Gar~"
"Got it, let's try our new power."
Sensing the eager emotion of Miss Gardevoir in front, Hakuya's eyes became stern. He raised the Key Stone in his hand without hesitation, letting dazzling seven-colored light bloom from his hand.
Facing a Gym Leader's challenge, naturally had to go all out.
In this battle, use the latest acquired Mega Evolution—
"Gardevoir, Mega Evolve!"
"Gar!!!"
On the huge battle field, magnificent light like a rainbow burst out suddenly at this moment.
The moment hearts connected, the clear high chant from the Psychic Queen also completely overlapped with the youth's voice.
"This is Mega Evolution?"
Linnea and Kali acting as judges froze for a moment, surprised.
As natives of the Kalos region, they naturally heard of this evolution method, just didn't expect to see it in the Sinnoh region too...
On the other side, just the moment Mega Gardevoir appeared in the hazy pink mist, exclamations also erupted in the audience seats.
"Ah, what is that?!"
"Gardevoir... but the form seems different; what's going on?"
"Feels so elegant and luxurious~"
"Mega Evolution, is an evolution surpassing the limit of Pokémon evolution so far, belonging to a higher level of evolution, also known as evolution surpassing evolution..."
Valerie looked at the slender figure like a Psychic Empress before her, murmuring in a low voice.
There were many types of Pokémon evolution methods: the most common level evolution, using items like Fire Stone to evolve, and learning specific moves to evolve...
In recent years, Professor Sycamore of the Kalos region first discovered a brand-new evolution, namely Mega Evolution. Pokémon undergoing Mega Evolution would temporarily develop hidden power within their bodies. Whether appearance or strength would be improved to varying degrees.
Currently, known Pokémon types capable of Mega Evolution were only a dozen. To complete Mega Evolution, besides being equipped with corresponding Mega Stone and Key Stone, Pokémon's strength and Trainer's physical fitness also had to be strong enough, and there must be a deep enough bond between each other.
"Didn't expect Hakuya you also mastered this power..."
Facing that black-haired youth like a god, Valerie couldn't help being lost in thought for a while.
The last time she saw such a shocking scene was when playing an exhibition match with another Pokémon Trainer.
And that Trainer was exactly the current Kalos Champion, Diantha.
After a brief loss of mind, this Fairy mature sister also sent out her first Pokémon.
"Aromatisse, use Trick Room."
[Trick Room: The user creates a bizarre area in which slower Pokémon get to move first for five turns.]
