Chapter 990 Thomas
The first group of people who forced their way into the Ultra Cave were mostly quasi-champion-level trainers.
With their strength, they are absolutely not qualified to compete head-on with the arriving Ultimate Beasts, so they can only choose to take risks, burn their boats, and rush into the Ultimate Cave to fight for a future!
Lance also noticed the actions of these people, but he was not in a hurry and had no intention of taking any action.
After all, there are more than one champions coming this time. The reason why he was pushed forward to be the person in charge is actually because he is the weakest one among all.
As a retired champion, the reason he retired was not because he was old, but because his own strength was not good enough and he could no longer be a champion, not even the weakest champion.
The United States is a country that relies on strength. It is the most powerful and most competitive country in the world.
On the road to competing for the championship, there has never been respect for the elderly and love for the young, only the law of the jungle.
"Pfft!"
The sound of bodies being pierced continued to ring out in the thick fog. The figures approaching the Ultimate Hole had no time to react before they felt a sharp pain.
At some point, a large hole appeared on their bodies and the bodies of the Flying Pokémon, as if they were pierced directly by a sharp weapon. Blood splattered, covering the cold mist with a layer of blood color.
"boom!"
The corpse fell from the air, hit the ground hard and turned into a puddle of mud.
"Champion Lance, are you just going to watch them approach the Ultimate Hole?" A deep voice came from the thick fog, and said to Lance in a bad tone: "I can't handle it alone."
"Thomas, I've retired after all. I'm old, so it's normal that I can't react quickly. This mission still depends on you young people." Lance looked at the blurry figures in the thick fog, a trace of fear flashed in his eyes, and he spoke out.
"Champion Lance, you are just retired, not dead." The figure in the thick fog showed no respect for Lance and said bluntly, "Since you have accepted this mission, you must do your best."
"I'm warning you, this is the last time." Thomas called Lance's name directly, his tone sharp: "With your strength, it's your honor to be able to participate in this operation."
"If Edward and Franklin hadn't died in Odomare, the Pokémon Association would be really short of people. You wouldn't be qualified to participate in this operation."
"If it happens again, I will personally arrest you and take you to explain to Champion George!"
Hearing Thomas' warning, Lance's cloudy eyes flashed with anger, but when he thought of Thomas's strength and George's championship, he could only suppress the anger in his heart and took a deep breath: "I'm responsible for the west side."
"Okay." Hearing Lance's words of surrender, Thomas' voice rang out from the thick fog: "Lance, don't let me and Champion George down."
“Now is the crucial moment when George Champion is competing for the national championship. No matter who holds him back, we will never forgive him.”
"After the task is completed, the reward promised to you will be no less! If you can kill Sakaki, there will be other additional rewards!"
…………
Thomas.
A legendary trainer of the Beautiful Country, he is forty-three years old this year and is also the youngest champion in the history of the Beautiful Country, as well as the first bug-type champion in the history of the Beautiful Country!
The champion of the beautiful country insect series!
Just by hearing these few words, you can tell the value of Thomas's strength.
Dragon-type champions are common, but insect-type champions are rare.
Bug-type Pokémon are different from ordinary Pokémon. Most Bug-type Pokémon have a short lifespan, and their peak period is only a few years. If they cannot seize this fleeting opportunity to break through to the King level or Champion level to extend their lifespan, the Bug-type Pokémon will age rapidly after its peak period until death.
And if you want to train a Bug-type Pokémon to the champion level or above, the difficulty is many times greater than training an ordinary Pokémon.
This is why there are so few insect champions.
The fact that Thomas was able to reach the top as a bug-type trainer and become one of the champions of the Beautiful Country is enough to show how extraordinary he is.
And the most surprising thing is that even though he is the insect champion, Thomas' strength is ranked high among the twelve champions of the Beautiful Country, far exceeding that of ordinary champions.
…………
At the same time, in an apartment surrounded by thick white fog.
Xia Yu sat leisurely on the soft sofa, slowly lit a cigarette, and patiently waited for the opportunity to come.
With the help of the Snow Fairy, Xia Yu successfully found this uninhabited apartment, and then took over its nest and borrowed it temporarily.
He was not in a hurry. The ultimate beast from the Ultimate Cave had not yet arrived, so it was not the time to take action.
His chance will come when the champions of the Beautiful Country take action against the Ultimate Beasts.
Opportunities always come to those who prepare patiently. He has been in the Honolulu Islands for so long and is not in a hurry.
Besides... he was also very curious about what kind of Pokémon would descend into this giant Ultra Cave.
If a legendary Pokémon were to arrive, his plan would change.
…………
Near the Ultimate Cave.
With the experience of the previous group of people as a lesson, the surroundings fell into a brief silence.
We all come here to fight for a bright future, not to die. No one wants to be cannon fodder, everyone just wants to be the one who picks the peaches in the end.
However, at this moment, the ultimate hole hanging high in the sky began to open and close, shrinking violently, releasing terrifying power in all directions, so that the surrounding space began to collapse and shatter.
A pitch-black vacuum zone appeared in the thick fog, devouring the surrounding fog like a greedy insect.
This strange and terrifying scene instantly attracted everyone's attention.
The last time the Ultra Hole appeared, a quasi-master-level Paper Sword King appeared. What kind of terrifying Pokémon will appear in this even larger Ultra Hole?
Such doubts permeated everyone's mind. Xia Yu also stood by the window, looking through the gap in the curtains at the ultimate hole in the sky that was constantly swallowing and crushing the space, his eyes as sharp as torches.
"boom!"
A sharp and piercing explosion suddenly sounded, as if it exploded directly in everyone's mind, causing headaches.
As the sound rang out, the giant ultimate hole suddenly collapsed, and the originally huge hole entrance shrank several times in an instant.
Everyone felt something was wrong in this strange scene.
"boom!"
Immediately afterwards, a huge explosion sounded, and the giant ultimate hole that had shrunk to the extreme suddenly opened up, spewing out surging energy and airflow like a volcanic eruption, setting off a huge storm and blowing away the nearby cold fog.
Starlight burst out from the Ultimate Cave, gleaming with a faint luster in the dim sky.
Near the giant ultimate cave, there were countless "dandelions" floating, swaying in the wind like jellyfish.
The wavy edge of the umbrella is bright blue, and the hexagonal star logo on the translucent umbrella surface emits a faint luster, flashing like a firefly.
"This is?!"
"Xuwu Yide?!"
Xia Yu's pupils suddenly shrank, and a hint of uneasiness flashed in his eyes.
Something's wrong! Twelve out of ten things are wrong!
…………
I have something to do tomorrow, so I'll try to update before noon.
