Pokémon the Movie: The Journey of a Slate

Chapter 375: Lily of the Valley Tournament Champion

The award ceremony for the league tournament champion was not complicated, it could even be said to be concise. Amid thunderous applause and the focus of countless flashes, Aislo took over the glittering golden Lily of the Valley Championship trophy from President Damalanchi.

After simply shaking hands with the elderly president and exchanging a few polite words, Aislo turned to Sirona who was standing beside him. The blonde beauty was looking at him with an elegant smile.

"Congratulations, Xiao Luo." Shirona's voice was calm and gentle. As the current champion, she encouraged the younger generation according to tradition. "An impressive victory. I think this battle will go down in the history of the alliance. Please maintain this strength, and... the light in these eyes." Her gaze returned to Aislo's bright eyes, and she did not hide her surprise at the battle.

To be fair, the confrontation between two champion-level trainers and the appearance of four legendary Pokémon at the same time in the finals of a league conference are incredible no matter how you think about it.

"Yes, I will." Aislo replied with a faint smile.

Sirona nodded slightly, the curve of her mouth deepened a little, and said in a voice that only the two of them could hear, "When you want to challenge me, remember to go to Tianguan Mountain."

Aislo was stunned for a moment, then quickly nodded. Current human technology could not create a battlefield that could support a battle of this level against legends, so the top of Tianguan Mountain undoubtedly became the perfect venue for the battle between him and Sirona.

After the simple conversation, Sirona gracefully took a step back, leaving the final stage to Aislo and the cheers of the audience. The black-haired boy took a deep breath, turned around and raised the heavy trophy high again, accepting the thunderous congratulations.

……

"elder brother!"

Eslo, who had just walked down from the battlefield, had not yet said anything to his companions who came to greet him when he saw a small black-haired ball pounce on him and go straight into his arms.

Seeing this, Aislo quickly threw the trophy in his hand to Dakdo beside him, then turned around with the girl in his arms.

"Girl, run slower next time, it's dangerous..." After putting Xiaotong back on the ground, Aislo helplessly tapped the tip of the girl's nose with his index finger, with a hint of blame in his tone.

"It's not dangerous!" Xiaotong shook her head vigorously, and then her watery brown eyes looked firmly into Aislo's eyes, "Brother will definitely catch me!"

"You..." Aislo was defeated in the eye contact with Xiaotong, "Okay, okay, I will catch you."

"Great!"

After touching the girl's little head again, Aislo looked up at Mary, who was not far away and was looking at them tenderly.

"Mobei, Mobei!" Morube on the girl's shoulder waved his little paws excitedly, as if she was the winner.

"Congratulations, Luo." Mary walked forward, looked at the stains on the boy's face, took out a handkerchief and gently wiped it. When the boy's cheeks became white and clean again, she nodded with satisfaction and took her hand away, "You look much better now."

"Thank you..." Eslo was about to say something else as he felt the gentle touch of Mary's fingertips, but the mixed voices of the people who had surrounded him interrupted him.

"Wow! Luo Ge! You looked so impressive when you held up the trophy on the stage just now. You are much better than some people!" Asun was still as lively and cheerful as ever, but it was obvious that he was still upset about the half-dead look that Dakdo looked like when he defeated him.

Darko, who was still holding the Eslo trophy, didn't care about it. After congratulating Eslo, his thoughts briefly drifted to the Pokémon Card World Championship that would be held soon, and he thought about the deck in his mind. Although he lost the Lily of the Valley Conference, he still had a game to play in a few days.

"Pika Pika!" The Pikachu on Xiaozhi's shoulder was wagging its tail happily, and Xiaozhi himself grinned widely, "Great, Xiao Luo! I knew you could win, and Darko is also super strong!"

We can’t see any sense of loss from defeat on Xiaozhi’s face, but only yearning for strength and blessings for his partners.

After nodding to Xiaoguang and Xiaogang who had just walked over, Aislo just kept saying thank you everyone and the like. To be honest, he was not very good at dealing with such situations, but fortunately, Nie Zi came forward in time to rescue him.

"Next, it should be the road to the championship, right?" Nie Zi glanced at Shirona who had left with Damalanqi in the distance, and then asked Aislo.

"Brother, don't forget about the Four Heavenly Kings." Mali corrected him. She naturally understood what Nie Zi wanted to express.

"Oh! Yes, there are also the Four Heavenly Kings..." Nie Zi only reacted after his sister reminded him. As everyone knows, there is no such position as the Four Heavenly Kings in Galar.

"The Road to Champion..." Xiaogang stroked his chin, "The one in Kanto has many powerful Pokémon and trainers. I wonder what the Sinnoh area is like? I heard there are a lot of traps there?"

"Well, my brother told me that it was very dangerous in there before." Ah Xun jumped out again at this time, looking very confident, "But with Luo Ge's current strength, there will definitely be no problem!"

At this moment, Xiao Guang suddenly seemed to remember something and clapped his hands, "Ah~ That's right! Speaking of which, we met an acquaintance on the way here just now!"

"An acquaintance?" Aislo, Mali and Dakodo were all curious.

"Yeah!" Xiaoguang nodded vigorously, stepped aside, and revealed the figure behind him.

"Dangdang! Bogaboga!" Bogaman also responded from the side, "Look who's here?"

Behind Xiaoguang, a blonde figure in red was standing quietly. The girl smiled and waved to everyone present, "Hi~"

"Alice!?" A hint of surprise flashed across Mary's eyes. They hadn't seen this friend for a long time since they parted in Baiyang Town.

"Long time no see, everyone." Alice smiled gently. She knew everyone present except Nie Zi, Xiao Tong and Wisdom, so she was not too nervous. Then the girl looked a little distressed again, "I originally arrived during the semi-finals, but I never ran into you. And Tonyo was busy with something, so I was the only one who came this time."

"Since we're here, how about we go out for a meal together?" Aislo raised his head and glanced at the rising sun in the sky. He estimated the time it would take to go to the Pokémon Center to heal the Pokémon, and then walk and chat. By the time they got to the restaurant, it would be almost time for dinner. "I'll treat you."

"Okay!"xn

Amid the cheers of the crowd and the elves, the group walked straight into the distance towards the sunshine.
