Pokémon: Starting with a Bound Entry System

Chapter 477: The Full Assembly

Watching his senior's figure disappear, Hikaru sighed, then turned to see Latias still beside him. He couldn't help but say, "Are you going to head back first?"

Latias shook her head.

Hikaru didn't mind. He wandered around the city leisurely and soon found a hotel, staying the night with Latias.

At eight o'clock the next morning.

Hikaru first opened the skill system and glanced at today's skill...

Hmm, a white skill. He dismantled it on the spot.

Nothing interesting.

His skill coins were now around 80,000. With a little more effort, he could buy Rayquaza's Mega Stone.

But Hikaru had no intention of buying it.

After all, this was his hard-earned capital; it was much better to use it to buy [Life Dew].

At ten o'clock in the morning.

After a good breakfast, Hikaru and Latias met the young girl waiting near the Gym.

"Didn't we agree on ten o'clock? Why did you come early?"

"To get ready early, of course. And you have the nerve to say that, making a girl wait for you." Watching Hikaru walk over, Xue Nai put her hands on her hips and looked at him with some exasperation. "Can't you ever be early?"

"..." Hikaru didn't dare to speak.

"Forget it." Xue Nai naturally walked to his side.

Hikaru quickly changed the subject, had Latias activate [Godly Stealth], then revert to her original form, and carry the two of them towards Kyoto.

...

Kyoto.

As a worldwide Pokémon competition, the League took the selection of competitors for the site selection tournament very seriously.

It was divided into a Junior Division and a Senior Division.

So far, 62 people had been selected for the Junior Division.

The Senior Division was no exception, with about sixty people.

For the competitors who ultimately couldn't participate in the site selection tournament, the League would provide corresponding compensation.

For the young boys and girls, or the competitors in the Senior Division who arrived in Kyoto early, the League would be responsible for their accommodation and food. For those who couldn't make it, the League would even dispatch investigators to pick them up.

Today was already March 29th, and most of the competitors had already arrived in Kyoto.

At this moment, at the Kyoto Pokémon League Center, in a large plaza.

Youth and immaturity. The Senior Division and Junior Division were gathered on opposite sides of the plaza.

And in the center of the plaza stood a massive Dragonite.

Beside it was the champion of the last Pokémon Championship—Lance.

And to the side, there was also a Gothitelle.

If Hikaru were here, he would definitely recognize it as the Gothitelle that guarded the Spirit Object Bureau.

There was also a woman in a red qipao, with a graceful figure and beautiful features, and an old woman wearing a sun hat.

Clearly, a specific meeting was to be held today; otherwise, so many people wouldn't have come.

Faced with a gathering of such big shots, the discussions in the crowd never stopped.

"Champion Lance, the Ghost-type Elite Four Grandma, and Sister Fei, who is establishing a national-level Fairy-type Gym. Not a single simple character here!"

"Of course, it's a competition abroad. How could there not be a few big shots to hold down the fort?"

"It's time to win glory for the country!"

"How many people haven't arrived yet? In a competition like this, we'll definitely see Hikaru, right? I wonder how he's doing...."

"Hey, I'm more interested in whether he's participating in the Senior Division or the Junior Division. With his strength, he'd crush the Senior Division, but he's not even eighteen yet..."

...

Walking into the designated gathering point, Hikaru could feel everyone's eyes on him.

With a quick scan, Hikaru saw many familiar faces, and he also saw Sakura.

On the identity card assigned to him by the League, he was assigned to the Junior Division, so he didn't waste any time and walked towards the group of "younger" trainers.

Not long after he entered, Xue Nai also walked in.

As soon as Hikaru got close, Sakura came over, circling around him. "Why didn't you come in with your senior?"

"I was the one who pushed him to go in first," Xue Nai whispered.

"Oh..."

Sakura glanced at Hikaru, who nodded weakly. He didn't really want to, either.

She didn't say anything more.

"Hey, Hikaru!"

The one shouting his name from over there was undoubtedly Ash. Seeing Hikaru, his face was full of excitement. Hikaru returned the greeting. He glanced beside him; apart from a Pikachu, there was no one else. It seemed he had come alone this time.

"Hikaru..."

Scanning again, Hikaru saw someone who surprised him greatly.

Luo Chen....

That's right, Luo Chen from Shuimu No. 3 Middle School. He had also qualified for this site selection tournament. Seeing Hikaru look over, he greeted him with some embarrassment.

Hikaru, however, turned his gaze to what was below him.

As expected, that Manaphy hadn't left and was guarding at his feet.

With his current Aura Force, he could already see through the shadows to the shadow world it resided in.

It floated up, glanced at Hikaru, and wondered why the scent of the Rainbow Wing was gone.

In reality, after obtaining the Rainbow Wing, he had kept it in the system space and hadn't touched it.

Over time, the scent naturally dissipated.

As for the Senior Division, there were even more familiar faces. Almost half of the people were top performers from the Youth League.

When people greeted him, Hikaru returned the greeting.

'Looks like the strength gap is quite large.'

This thought flashed through Hikaru's mind.

Take the Junior Division, for example. He considered himself the strongest among all the competitors.

The undisputed number one.

That aside, below him were Ash, Sakura, and his senior. Their strength was also a big step above the other Junior Division members.

Looks like there are gaps even among geniuses, Hikaru thought to himself.

Good thing I'm a cheater.

But then he thought, with great power comes great responsibility.

Otherwise, Arceus wouldn't have sought him out.

"Alright, everyone quiet down."

Amidst the discussions, Lance on the stage finally spoke, and the venue instantly fell silent.

"Everyone here is an outstanding trainer. I'm sure you've all competed before, so I won't waste words. This time, the location for the site selection tournament is the M Region. The people in charge are myself, the Fairy-type Elite Four Tang Fei, and the Ghost-type Elite Four Grandma. I can't guarantee much, but you all just focus on competing, don't run around, and follow the arrangements. I will vouch for everything else."

The weight of these words was not just about safety.

During the competition, as long as the requests weren't too excessive, the League's logistics would take care of it.

"The reason for gathering everyone this time is just to let you all know that we will be departing on April 1st. Also, I know that some of you can already achieve Mega Evolution with your Pokémon. If it's not necessary, do not Mega Evolve just to show off..."
