As a genuine Sichuan native, Su Hao put on a face-changing performance right in front of Steven and Cynthia, leaving the two completely stunned. The words they had wanted to say got stuck in their throats, and they stood there blankly.
Su Hao's inner thoughts were actually quite complicated.
He really did find it troublesome and did not want to participate in the Pokémon World Championship. If he seriously wanted to climb the rankings, he would probably have to win dozens of matches in a row, not to mention the final Masters Eight Elimination Tournament... It was far too troublesome.
But once this involved Plates, the nature of things changed completely.
The Arceus of this Pokémon world should not have had any problems, and its Plates could not possibly have shattered. Therefore, the shattered Plates picked up by the Pokémon League could only be Plate Fragments from the Arceus of Reshiram's world.
Upon learning this, Su Hao was somewhat surprised.
So Plate Fragments had not fallen only on Blue Star. They had apparently ended up in other worlds as well.
To confirm his guess, Su Hao ultimately chose to enter the competition. Wasn't it just grinding?
It was not like he had never done it before!
After a while, Steven and Cynthia's crashed systems finally rebooted. Cynthia said enthusiastically, "Your communicator version is too old. It might not be able to connect to the championship equipment, so it would be best for you to buy a Rotom Phone at the mall."
"A Rotom Phone?"
Su Hao blinked. After thinking for a moment, he remembered what it was.
It seemed Ash had used a Rotom Phone to match with opponents in Pokémon Journeys?
Still, was it really necessary to specifically buy a phone with a Rotom just to enter the championship?
