Pokémon: Starting with a Bound Entry System

Chapter 484: Trainers from the Y Region

"You two are up so early."

Eating breakfast, Sakura looked at the two who were already dressed and grumbled.

She didn't even know when the two of them had woken up.

"We saw you were sleeping so soundly, so we didn't call you," Hikaru said, placing a dumpling in her bowl. This was the breakfast he had made this morning.

"Oh...."

"Ding, ding..."

As the few of them were eating breakfast, the Rotom Poké Ball that had been placed beside them opened.

Three Rotoms of different styles came out.

"Rotom, Rotom, detecting approaching competitors. Display information?"

The three Rotoms spoke in the same style and with the same content.

Hikaru beckoned, and his Rotom flew over.

He then opened the map function.

During the competition, the Rotom would only activate its live broadcast mode during battles. At other times, it only had a positioning function.

Moreover, Hikaru discovered that it seemed to be the same Rotom following him in every competition.

In the preliminaries of the Youth League last time, it was also this blue Rotom that followed him.

Sakura's Rotom was the same; only his senior's Rotom was a new one.

This was good too; they had become old acquaintances.

"Rotom, switching to map function."

The blue Rotom quickly brought up the screen, projecting a holographic map in front of them.

The map was a 3D construction of the city. On the map, dozens of red dots were scattered in various places.

Only then did Hikaru see that this was the initial gathering place for the trainers from the Y Region.

Several teams were rapidly approaching his position.

Judging by their speed, they were likely coming by taxi, or possibly riding on Pokémon.

Unlike the strict management of Pokémon on the streets in the Huaxia region, in the M Region, as long as you obtained a Pokémon driving license or a Pokémon flying license, you could drive Pokémon in the city with a certain degree of freedom.

"My reputation precedes me..."

The competition had just begun, and five or six teams were already rushing towards him. It was clear they knew who he was.

Some wanted to challenge him; others perhaps just wanted to see his strength for themselves.

The group quickly finished their meal, tidied up, and left the hotel.

The first match could not be avoided. As long as the opponent had the intention to challenge, it was impossible to evade under any circumstances.

But as long as he won, he couldn't refuse challenges from those with fewer wins than him.

However, at this moment, Hikaru had no intention of refusing challenges either.

Isn't it just a battle?

Then bring it on!

After waiting at the hotel entrance for a few minutes, a Fearow soon flew down from the sky. Two young trainers with brown hair and almost identical appearances landed from it.

From their appearance, Hikaru could tell at a glance that they were trainers from the Y Region.

High-bridged noses, blue pupils.

The trainers from this country emphasized etiquette in battle and held a disdainful attitude towards trainers who used various underhanded tactics, believing that victories obtained in such a way were too sinister.

"Are you two here to challenge me?"

Judging from their looks, they were clearly a pair of twins.

"No, no, respected trainer from the Huaxia region, we are just here to admire the style of the number one trainer in the Huaxia Junior Division." (Spoken in their native language)

The two looked at each other and finally spoke in unison.

"...Hehe," Hikaru chuckled lightly, knowing they were wary of his strength but also curious if he was as strong as the internet made him out to be.

Waiting for others to test the waters...

Looks like the trainers from the Y Region aren't that united.

But in reality, the Youth League was held several months ago. Hikaru's current strength was worlds apart from what it was then.

He ignored the two, glanced at the map, and started walking towards Lightning Valley with Sakura and his senior.

One after another, more people followed.

Without exception, they were all trainers from the Y Region. They greeted each other politely, chatted, and followed behind Hikaru at an unhurried pace.

Soon, someone started talking about Hikaru.

"The mission the League gave us this time is to get as many points as possible in the competition. As long as we get enough points, there will be rewards. Ian, aren't you going to give that Huaxia trainer a try?"

"I'll leave this opportunity to you, Hunter. Your Hawlucha has always loved to fight the strong..."

"Neil, what about you? What do you say?"

As the few of them were arguing, Hikaru in front had already walked up to a gym.

After trainers became prevalent, gyms also became popular all over the world.

At the same time, a voice accurately appeared in the minds of every competitor following him.

"Everyone has been following us. Are you looking for a good place to battle? I've found a nice place for you all!"

The moment this sentence appeared, everyone behind him was stunned. They then looked at each other, their faces filled with shock and panic.

"Did you guys hear a voice?"

"Everyone heard it?"

"It was that man in front named Hikaru who said it. This is Aura Force. I've looked it up a bit."

"Is he challenging us? Is he challenging all of us? As expected of the number one trainer from the Huaxia region."

"No, we were following him. Such an action must have been seen by him as a provocation."

"Is anyone going to accept the challenge? Don't let the trainers from the Huaxia region look down on us trainers from the Y Region!"

"A Fire-type Gym, the battlefield is Fire-type. Neil, don't you specialize in Fire-type Pokémon? Why don't you give it a try? Test his true strength?"

"Alright!"

...

"Have you finished discussing?"

Having sized up the few teams that had gathered around and heard their entire conversation, Hikaru fixed his gaze on the man with orange-red hair who had been pushed forward.

Among this group of young trainers, most of them had calculating looks in their eyes, and no one was willing to go up and test the waters first. Only this Fire-type trainer was a bit straightforward, possessing the unique recklessness of a Fire-type trainer.

He didn't know if it was because of his Pokémon's influence.

"Alright!"

The trainer called Neil cracked his knuckles, making a crunching sound, and walked into the gym without hesitation. "Trainer from Huaxia, I'll be waiting for you inside!"

The other Y Region trainers looked at Hikaru, their eyes filled with wariness and scrutiny.

"You two, want to challenge one?"

Hikaru didn't agree immediately but instead asked the two beside him.

"Since we're here, of course we have to have a match!" Xue Nai showed an interested expression.

"Then I'll join too~" Against trainers of the same age group, Sakura naturally wouldn't be afraid and clamored to join.

"This one in the black jacket, his Pokémon is..."
