Rope is helpless now...
Seriously he didn't expect the battle he made to be so big...
Looking at this one big guy in front of him, he was also a bit surprised. Of course, being touched was definitely there as well.
After all, the fact that so many people had come here for him alone was in itself a kind of recognition for him.
Of course you have to ask if the current Rope dared to move?
Then surely he doesn't dare to move...
It's a banquet hall with a good size. Rope remembered the promotion banquet when he got into the university.
As the protagonist, he could only sit there, and his friends and relatives started their own socializing after congratulating him.
Each of his parents' friends had developed their own circle of friends.
The father's friend, a powerful leader looked like he was surrounded by a bunch of hungry sharks.
It was hard to swallow this leader.
That's not to say Rope wasn't valued, of course. But that's all a child has been valued for since the beginning. In the age of free love, even the value of a union began to plummet.
Who else really values you but your parents?
But this time was different.
While the men talked to each other, the women sat at a table by default...
Whitley, Ash, Sapphire and Ruby brought by Steven, Hop brought by Leon, Marnie brought by Piers, and Gold and Crystal sat at a table.
They look at Red every single one of the well known trainers at the table they are at.
Then they turn around and look at Professor Oak who is sitting at the other table they are at and they are all well known researchers.
All of a sudden it was different when it came to Rope.
He could have sat at both tables.
But he sat at the women's table...
It wasn't so much the separation. It's mostly that people do come for different purposes.
Their common purpose was to watch Rope's match yes. Some would leave after today's match. Because they have other things to do. And really couldn't leave on the day of the finals.
Others will stay until they see the end of the convention.
Although this is their common purpose. But everyone still had their own different demands.
For example, the battle maniacs were definitely exchanging battles. Of course, they were each looking for their own fellow enthusiasts.
And of course the researchers were also doing discussion and research together. If they can their discussion then a has been carried on.
To hollow out a Pokémon professor from the level of theoretical knowledge...it's really too difficult...
But the women's purposes are relatively simple.
Either they're here to find Rope. Either they're here to help their girlfriends. Or they came to watch the fun.
After all, a big melon like this would be a great blessing to be there.
Rope is surrounded by a group of women, now literally afraid to move...
Cynthia on the left, Daisy on the right, Sabrina on the opposite side, and the rest of the women gathered around.
Not a single bite of the food on the table has been touched. Compared to the hot atmosphere of the two tables over there. This side is simply the austere winter of Mahogany Town...
"The atmosphere over there... it looks so strange."
Ash scratched the back of his head. Puzzled, he said...
Couples like Sapphire and Ruby certainly saw something wrong there. And the human-like Whitley and Crystal naturally knew it clearly.
But the rest of them...
Gold and Ash scratched their heads together before saying, "Little old me, you mean, Rope, isn't he hungry? I don't see him picking up his chopsticks since he sat down..."
Ash was likewise very confused... I don't know either.
Both teenage girls, also from the Galar region, were afraid to speak. They didn't know much about the bigwigs in front of them. The Galar region hadn't been a part of the League for a long time, and their location was relatively remote, although the energy industry and the battle industry were both extremely developed nowadays. And the entire Galar League is organized as one.
But in reality, a region like Kanto, where the League originated, is still a bit proud and boastful.
And the strength of the Kanto region...is indeed strong enough. There are now three Champion level fighters that can still be held in their hands.
Crystal had followed Professor Oak for such a long time, and she had still learned a lot in terms of human relationships. That's why she could easily tell that the two little ones in front of her were out of place.
"Don't be nervous you two, just talk with everyone." ,
It was also hard for Hop, the little hot-blooded teenager. Obviously, he should be a very lively child, but because he didn't know everyone well, he didn't seem to fit in. The same goes for Marnie.
But in reality, these two are the younger sister of the Gym Leader and the younger brother of the Champion. Both can be considered the top second generation in the League range...
With Crystal's words, everyone noticed these two as well.
Whitley had traveled with Rope for such a long time, he shouldn't have made such a low-level mistake in the first place. But it was overlooked because the enthusiasm for watching the drama was too high.
She certainly wouldn't be good at anything after Crystal reminded her. The table was large and there weren't many people.
She got up and walked over to Marnie's side. Then smiled at, Marnie, "Hello, my name is Whitley, I'm Professor Rope's student and assistant."
With that, she extended her hand towards Marnie.
Marnie took his hand and then said, still slightly formal, "Hello, I'm Marnie, from Spikemuth, a small town. Piers is my brother."
Whitley's mind wandered electrically at her introduction. After all, in addition to the formulaic aspect of such introductions, they were also personal, and if one listened carefully one could taste a few things about a person.
"Spikemuth? I've heard of it, an interesting town. I'm told your town is big on sparring and music? "
Whitley recalled in her head before quickly blurting out some of the knowledge Rope had drilled into her.
"You know!"
Marnie was a little shocked after all Spikemuth was a small place that wasn't even well known in the Galar region. If it didn't have the presence of the Spikemuth Gym. This town so far away from the Dynamax energy point wouldn't even be on anyone's radar.
Little did she realize that someone in the distant Kanto region would actually know where she was from!
"I've heard Rope mention Spikemuth, a great place yet! I'm told you guys have some great music!"
Rope had certainly mentioned Spikemuth, and he and Piers himself had had some musical exchanges. But he'd always felt that heavy rock was too loud. So not a big fan of Piers' style of music is all...
But Piers is a really nice guy. After a couple of conversations on a music forum, Piers was like a soulmate.
Because every question Rope discussed with him was very inspiring.
But this was inevitable, after all, Rope came from a world where there was no near monopoly on entertainment like Pokémon battles, so various forms of entertainment blossomed. Music was one of them. Rock and roll was more than just one type of music. And that sort of thing was far more developed on Earth than in the Pokémon world.
So of course Rope inspired everything he said.
That is to say, Rope's family had money when he was on Earth, and he had time to himself, though he didn't really know anything at a proficient level. But basically, he knew a little bit of everything.
Except, of course, photography...
Photography was the last hobby he chose after picking all sorts of interests.
Of course, Rope and Whitley weren't talking about Spikemuth's music. Rope had only mentioned it.
What really made Whitley remember Spikemuth was the line from Rope's mouth, 'The whole Galar pair don't make any money. It doesn't even work with Piers the singer. A little town that can't Dynamax is no fun any more.'
The root cause of the development of the Galar region is energy, and the direct cause is the Dynamax battle.
It would be truly odd for Spikemuth, which was not involved in either, to develop.
Rope said this with a tone of pity.
Of course, to say how pitiful it was would be a stretch... after all, it was just what Piers had chosen for himself.
"Hello! My name is Ash!!! from Pallet Town!!! My goal is to become a Pokémon Master!"
Just as Hop was watching Whitley and Marnie chat, Ash walked up to Hop. He then felt that this little brother looked familiar.
"Hello! My name is Hop. I... haven't found my goal yet." Hop said slightly shyly, but soon he continued, "But I want to become a trainer that surpasses my big brother!"
"Ooh! Quite the ambition!"
Gold marveled as he opened his mouth directly. Then he gave a thumbs up towards Hop and said, "Really, little old brother! This goal of yours is ambitious enough!"
It really wasn't a joke. Galar was a small place, and the League in Galar was also a grassroots organization, but Leon's strength was really nothing to sneeze at. Although he hadn't yet fought veteran powerhouses like Red, Blue, Lance, Cynthia, Steven and the like, those who had watched his matches knew that as well.
Leon is definitely not a weakling. At least Diantha is definitely no match for him.
Ahem, there is absolutely no intention to discredit the strength of any of the champions here. It's an objective fact to be recognized that there are three, six, nine levels of strength among champions.
Although no matter which champion Gold can not beat. But when has Gold ever been a wimp?
Even though he had palpitations for a long time after the fight with Rope, Gold eventually recovered his vigor. Now he's still a little bit scared of Rope, but he's not as scared as he used to be. But now he's not so scared anymore.
"Really?" Hop said with a double-take.
You know, this dream has always been recognized by those around him though. But when your dream is recognized by a stranger, you get a completely different feeling.
"That's for sure! Believe in yourself, and crucially, believe in Leon. He is definitely the strongest of the bunch in the entire League."
Gold patted himself on the back and assured Hop.
"Great! I must go back and tell Victor the news!"
Hop was back to his usual meta self. He and Ash were supposed to be very much alike. Now that the atmosphere had been opened up, the table seemed more harmonious as well.
And Leon and Piers, who were silently paying attention to this side of the table, both gave a sigh of relief...
And Lance, who was sitting next to Leon and was considered the host, poked Leon with his elbow and said, "Your brother looks quite lively."
"Yeah, Hop's a great little guy!"
Leon had a proud look on his face. This was his brother after all.
The reason he and Piers had brought his brother and sister here this time was also pure. This gathering was likely to be a spectacle that might not be repeated for the next three, five, or even ten years. And while there weren't a lot of little kids here, the mere fact that these people were making good friends with these people was enough to benefit Hop and Marnie for life.
Ash is a trainer in Pallet Town, which is now becoming a mecca for trainers.
Gold, the holder of the special edition Pokédex, Hatcher, and its useful special technique. The reason why Gold has always been so arrogant is because this guy is highly sought after by the entire trainer community.
When Gold produces something, it's a good thing. If he was really willing to hatch eggs for people commercially. He would have achieved financial freedom a long time ago as well.
Whitley and Crystal were needless to say, one was Professor Rope's personal disciple and the other was Professor Oak's assistant. Neither of these two are easy characters.
As for Sapphire and Ruby... Leon had heard that Steven had the idea of giving Lance the title to Wallace. And Ruby is Wallace's protégé. And the only apprentice...
Sapphire's father is Professor Birch, the representative professor of the region.
So yeah, League winning is long past the days of fighting and killing. Fighting and killing can still lead to status and power. But it's also possible to be humane.
Of course, without the security of strength, all of this is false.
"Say, how is this talent in your family?"
Lance asked again.
Leon instantly felt like he'd taken an arrow to the knee...
You're going to say Hop's talent isn't good... that's not true.
Someone who could get through the eight dojos couldn't be any less talented.
But if you want to say that his talent is good...his talent may not be as good as Marnie on one side and Victor Yuu in his neighbor's house.
But there's no such thing as revealing one's own brother's shortcomings. So Leon could only remain silent.
Piers on one side also shook his head. Seriously he was optimistic about Marnie surpassing himself. But he really didn't think highly of Hop surpassing Leon...
"Don't worry, there's still research to be done if you can't play against each other, League won't starve!"
Lance eyed Leon's silence and naturally understood the situation.
If it was true that just anyone could surpass them as champions. They wouldn't have to hang around.
Lance took two small sips, a slight blush on his face.
"Yes in case it doesn't work let him come to me! Giving Rope a shot is just great. Don't underestimate Rope, this kid's research is in the upper echelons! Those politicians are both afraid of him and want to curry favor with him. This discipline is definitely a promising one once you get started."
"This is Rope's studies on making friends!!!"
Leon looked gratefully at the cold-faced champion in front of him, and was inwardly very touched. Lance drank away... in fact, everyone at the table was pretty much the same. The atmosphere was electric.
As for the other side...
Rope: "No, I'm hungry, can we start eating???"
