The Final Begins!
"Not yet?"
Bruce stayed in the player's lounge, and the voice of Professor Charles Darwin came from the other end of the phone.
Bruce smiled and responded, "Professor, don't worry, you can keep polishing it."
Professor Charles Darwin replied weakly, "I've been polishing it for days."
His only thought now was to publish an article as soon as possible so that this great discovery through the ages could be known to everyone.
Bruce paused for a moment, then answered with a smile, "Professor, it's not time yet."
Hearing the professor's breathing become heavier, Bruce thought for a moment again and said, "Professor, let's wait and see."
"Maybe the Mega Evolution will be revealed tonight."
Professor Charles Darwin sighed lightly when he heard these words and responded, "I hope so."
In his spare time, he watched the matches of the collegiate league and didn't believe there was any player capable of pushing Bruce to use Mega Evolution.
But Bruce's opponent in the final was Liam, which could allow for the Mega Evolution to make an early appearance.
After hanging up the phone, Bruce looked at the key stone necklace around his neck, his eyes flashing slightly.
He had made enough preparations for the announcement of Mega Evolution, and Mega Evolution would inevitably appear in a dramatic battle.
At that time, he would use Mega Evolution, and Professor Charles Darwin would publish the findings at the same time, which would be enough to elevate the popularity of Mega Evolution to the highest level.
But judging by the current situation, it seemed that there was no player capable of putting Bruce in a desperate situation and forcing him to use Mega Evolution.
However, Bruce was in no hurry; the longer it took for Mega Evolution to be revealed, the more time the Bayne family had to make adequate preparations and gather more evolution stones.
"Although the collegiate league isn't great, it actually presents a better opportunity for the upcoming Youth International Competition," Bruce thought to himself.
The Youth International Competition is on a larger scale and has drawn the attention of the entire world, generating much more hype than the collegiate league.
Using Mega Evolution at that time would drive the entire world crazy.
Bruce was looking forward to the world going wild.
Of course, all of this depended on Liam.
If Liam was strong enough, Mega Evolution would be revealed tonight.
At 7 p.m., the sun had set, and the whole world was shrouded in darkness.
Madison Square Garden was filled with a huge audience, and all the seats were filled in an instant.
The long-awaited excitement, an invisible and warm atmosphere, spread throughout the vast venue.
As the night grew late, the crowd looked up, only to see the spotlights lit up, illuminating the night sky.
The entire audience stared with wide eyes, waving their cheer sticks and shouting at the aerial drone.
It was rumored that the collegiate competition committee had already purchased a batch of aerial photography Rotoms, which would be used in next year's competitions.
The countdown on the big screen gradually reached zero, beautiful fireworks lit up the night sky, and 100,000 spectators applauded at the Square Garden.
"Ladies and gentlemen!"
The loud and passionate voice of the host sounded, and the place reached its climax, with the deafening applause almost bursting the eardrums.
"Welcome to the Collegiate League, Battle Hall of the Finals!"
"Next, let's invite the players from both sides to the stage."
In the player's corridor,
Bruce listened attentively to the roar of the mountains and the tsunami heard outside, slowly opened his eyes. He straightened up, smoothed out the wrinkles in his clothes, and touched the key stone necklace with his fingertips.
The coolness came from his fingertips, and the ovations outside grew more and more enthusiastic, the walls on both sides trembled, and the entire venue almost collapsed.
Beside him, Blaziken's eyes were penetrating, Gardevoir's white dress swayed, and Metagross's eyes were calm.
"Let's go," Bruce said with a smile. "Let's spend the last night together."
The three Pokemon responded at the same time, and an invisible aura formed. They transformed into three beams of red light and flew into their Poke Balls.
With a bright smile on his face, Bruce slowly stepped out of the player's tunnel and entered the green field, using the spotlights to disperse the shadows on his face.
On the big screen,
Bruce had a jade-like figure, handsome and charming, with a smile on his face, greeting the audience from all directions.
Teacher Rodriguez, Maxwell, and Eliza didn't stay in the player's lounge but stayed at the railing of the stands, watching the final up close.
"Nobody thought Bruce would make it to the finals," Maxwell said, looking at Bruce's figure and suddenly speaking with emotion.
Eliza's eyes shone faintly, and she said suddenly, "The moment he defeated me, I knew he could make it to the finals."
Teacher Rodriguez didn't join the discussion between the two, but he smiled and looked at Bruce's figure.
This was his lucky star.
Nero raised the red banner cheering for Bruce and shouted loudly, "Go Bruce!"
Bin crossed his arms, Azalea and Oliver sat on the left and right sides, and smiled as they said, "It's much livelier than the first-year student exchange competition finals back then."
"After all, these are competitions of different levels," Oliver responded indifferently.
Bin nodded slightly, his eyes staying on Bruce, and suddenly said, "I have a feeling that the next time I sit in the auditorium to watch Bruce's match, it should be at the Avalon Conference."
Upon hearing this, Oliver hesitated for a moment and then said, "That should be the last time..."
As soon as the words hit the ground, Oliver remembered Bruce's incredible progress and continued, "Or maybe next year."
William and Emma sat in the auditorium, waving cheer sticks, cheering for Bruce.
Daisuke and a group of high school friends also sat in the first row of the auditorium, cheering loudly when they saw Bruce walking out.
The campus of Metropolitan University had long been in carnival mode, especially since the finalists were college students from the city.
Whether it was Bruce or Liam, they didn't mind popping champagne early.
Dragneel Family, Metropolitan Capital,
Elite Lance finished the tedious work of the day, lay down on the soft sofa in a comfortable posture, and turned on the big screen.
The lively scene on the screen appeared before his eyes, and Lance Elite's eyes shone with a smile. In a trance, he seemed to see his vigorous self at the age of twenty.
But Bruce was not yet twenty; he was just an eighteen-year-old young man who had just entered university.
"Eighteen..."
"Trainer Ace."
"Collegiate League Finals."
"He is truly a genius rarely seen in decades."
Lance Elite closed his mouth sharply and sighed lightly.
His nephew Bin was already considered the most talented trainer among his contemporaries in the Dragneel family, and comparing him to Bruce... well, never mind.
"The current world situation is turbulent and complicated, and we need a stable and long-term partner.
"The Bayne family..."
"As long as Bruce grows without issues, the Bayne family can be a good choice." Lance Elite squinted slightly, a thousand thoughts passing through his mind.
Southwest Border,
Vortex Base.
"Boss, the game is about to start," Colin whispered as he entered the office.
"Yes." Agatha put the pen she was holding on the table, removed her glasses, and slowly stood up.
They both slowly walked into the meeting room next door.
The meeting room already had the big screen on, displaying a lively scene.
Agatha sat down, and Colin sat beside her.
On the screen, Liam's figure appeared slowly. He wore a black coat, was tall and slender, and had a spring-like smile on his face.
"He's a handsome man," Agatha nodded slightly, with admiration in her eyes.
"After all, he's the son of the Smith family," Colin laughed beside her.
"It would be great if Bruce and he could succeed," Agatha said softly with deep eyes.
The Smith family was also an aristocratic family that had been passed down for generations over hundreds of years. The family was powerful, with talent passing down from generation to generation.
As thoughts passed through, Agatha glanced at Colin and said, "Who do you think will win?"
Colin thought for a moment and then replied, "Their strengths are almost the same, so it will be a spectacle."
Agatha didn't comment and looked back at the big screen, watching Bruce and Liam walk toward the center of the battlefield.
Amidst the deafening cheers, Bruce and Liam walked to the center of the battlefield, looked at each other, and shook hands.
"Brother." Liam's deep black eyes reflected Bruce's figure as he smiled and said, "Before the competition, I tried to spend the last night with Luka or Maxwell.
"But at this moment, we've fulfilled that saying, and we've met at the final stage."
Speaking of this, Liam smiled slightly and said seriously, "Since we've met, then we are rivals."
"A rival who must give his all."
"This game, I'm going to win."
Bruce smiled and said, "Brother Liam, I'll do my best."
Jessica, who was sitting in the first row of the auditorium, saw the two having a friendly conversation, with faint smiles on their faces.
She didn't choose to cheer for either side; she just hoped that both would fight with all their strength without regret.
Fight with all your strength, that is what being a Trainer represents.
"There are two sides in the battle: one side is the favorite to win this year's collegiate league, the former champion of the first-year student exchange competition, the captain of the Metropolitan University team, Liam Smith!"
"On the other side is Bruce Bayne, the creator of the legend. He has not suffered any defeats since his debut. He has proven that time is not the only criterion for judging the strength of a trainer."
"He, Bruce, although he has been a trainer for less than half a year, can still defeat superior trainers one after another and make it to the final!"
The announcer was full of enthusiasm, and everyone was eagerly anticipating. The spotlights illuminated the stadium, and white spots appeared.
The referee took Magnezone and walked to the center of the field.
"Next, I will announce the half-court rules. The game adopts a 3v3 battle format, and the venue is a standard one. When all Pokemon from both sides lose their ability to fight, the other side wins."
The referee held the flag flat, looked around the seating area at both sides, and said, "Please send out the players from both sides."
Liam smiled, gripped the Ultra Ball tightly, and cast a penetrating gaze at Bruce. Bruce held the Luxury Ball in his palm, stared at him, ready to start.
Suddenly, the referee lowered the flag and shouted, "The match begins!"
Bruce and Liam's avatars appeared on the big screen, the three Poke Balls lit up, and the exciting battle music played!
"Go, Arcanine!" Liam threw the Ultra Ball.
A white light bloomed, and Arcanine landed calmly, with its mane flowing, reflecting the sun, heroic and extraordinary.
"Oooh!"
[Intimidate] The ability emanated a fierce aura, and the audience on both sides held their breath, focusing their eyes.
[Pokemon: Arcanine (Fire)
Ability: Intimidate
Qualification: Elite
Level: Lv 48 (Ace)]
Nowadays, Bruce was no stranger to this Pokemon from the ancient Avalon legend.
Arcanine was brave and fearless, with a dominant appearance, and was deeply loved by Trainers in Avalon.
Liam's Arcanine had also performed impressively in the competition, as it had won a series of victories.
At the same time, Bruce threw the Luxury Ball.
"Please, Gardevoir."
A beam of red light fell to the ground, and Gardevoir appeared on the battlefield with bright red pupils and a Mega Stone collar around its neck.
In Pokemon battles, the appearance of Pokemon is very important. In fact, compared to Gardevoir, Metagross has rough skin and thicker flesh, and is more tolerant to flaws.
But Bruce had already made his choice.
He promised that Gardevoir would be able to take the lead in this match, and of course, there couldn't be any slip of the tongue.
Secondly, [Intimidate] has minimal impact on Gardevoir.
In the semifinals, the reason Blaziken faced Garchomp was due to Blaziken's sudden will to fight.
Just like Ash's Pikachu would take the initiative to ask for help, every Pokemon has its own personality. In some special cases, they'll take the initiative to fight.
Bruce wasn't a master of reverse attributes. He would send Pokemon based on attribute restrictions and try to make the right decisions.
This was a real Pokemon world, and it would be fantastic if he could win with minimal cost.
The two stared at each other. Liam stretched his arms and shouted twice.
"Arcanine, Flamethrower."
Field,
"Oooh!"
Arcanine roared to the sky, orange flames erupted from its mouth, and with a 'bang', the flames surged in an instant.
Gardevoir cupped its hands, covering the heart-shaped lump on its chest, and the light continued to converge.
The next moment, [Dazzling Gleam] split into colorful rays of light, flying together!
Boom!
Dazzling Gleam and Flamethrower clashed fiercely in the air, a wave of heat surged suddenly, and black smoke filled the air.
"As soon as it comes out, it's going to be a grand spectacle!"
