"Everyone, please don't be anxious!"
"There are simply too many Trainers who need treatnt. Our center can't keep up with the workload right now, so we hope everyone can understand!"
"Please give us a little more ti!"
Behind the service counter, the staff mber inside the center spoke to the crowd with an apologetic expression.
However, his explanation clearly failed to earn the approval of the Trainers present.
Not only did it fail to calm everyone's anger, it instead made the atmosphere even tenser.
"Bullshit! I've heard you people say that for two days already!"
"That's right! Even if you had to transport machines from sowhere else, they should have arrived by now!"
"I think you people must be plotting sothing!"
"I don't want treatnt anymore! Give my Pokémon back!"
The Trainers present were all furious.
From the look of things, it was as if they were about to tear the entire Pokémon Center down in the next second.
"So annoying."
"A bunch of ungrateful fools."
Facing these aggressive Trainers who looked ready to make a move at any mont, the staff mber's smile suddenly vanished.
His expression instantly turned cold and sinister.
The next second, it was as if so chanism had been triggered.
The lights throughout the Pokémon Center suddenly dimd.
The windows, doors, and every other exit were all sealed off by thick steel plates.
The sudden darkness made all the Trainers present fall silent at once.
They stood frozen in place, not daring to move.
None of them knew what exactly had happened.
"Skreeee!!"
A familiar, high-pitched cry rang out.
When they looked up, they could clearly see a huge ice-blue bird with her wings spread wide in the deep darkness, circling through the air in Articuno's unmistakable form.
Looking closer, there was also a person standing on the bird's back.
That was…
Articuno!?
The image of this Third-tier Legendary had already been deeply engraved into everyone's minds.
The instant she appeared, everyone recognized her.
And the masked person standing on the bird's back was undoubtedly Okano Shuzo.
Strange.
Why had they appeared here?
Before the questions rising in their minds could find an answer, an incomparably intense fear surfaced in everyone's eyes.
This breathtakingly beautiful scene carried a terrifying aura of death.
The temperature began to drop madly.
In an instant, it fell to the freezing point.
The very next mont, everyone present turned into dark-blue ice sculptures.
"Boss!"
Okano Shuzo jumped down from Articuno's back.
The mont he landed, the staff mber inside the Pokémon Center stepped forward and spoke respectfully.
"Is it enough?"
Okano Shuzo swept his gaze over the densely packed ice sculptures in the hall and asked in a calm tone.
"It's enough!"
The staff mber nodded.
"We've collected 7,842 Elite-level Pokémon, 1,115 Gym-level Pokémon, 160 Quasi-Elite Four-level Pokémon, and 38 Elite Four-level Pokémon."
Then he reported a string of numbers.
"Good. Take there."
Hearing this, Okano Shuzo's eyes suddenly lit up.
Led by the staff mber, he quickly walked toward the treatnt rooms at the back of the Pokémon Center.
"Ladies and gentlen in the audience!"
"Welco to the finals of this year's World Trainer Tournant, hosted by the Lighthouse Alliance!"
"Let us welco both contestants to the stage with a round of applause!"
The host had just finished drawing out his words when thunderous cheers and applause erupted once again from the packed audience stands.
"Okano Shuzo!!"
"Okano Shuzo!!"
"Okano Shuzo!!"
"Isobe Hiko!!"
The spectators around the arena shouted the nas of the two contestants at the top of their lungs. The waves of cheers rose and fell, resounding through the world like thunder.
However, judging by the montum, most of the audience mbers present were clearly Okano Shuzo's supporters.
The overwhelming majority of spectators believed that in today's final match, Okano Shuzo would continue his previous montum.
He would push forward in one go and accomplish the magnificent feat of winning three championships across three consecutive tournants.
Amid the applause and cheers, Okano Shuzo and Isobe Hiko slowly walked out as well, stepping onto the battle arena.
The two stood facing each other.
The instant their gazes t, the air seed to explode with the thick sll of gunpowder.
