But that was only because the other party remembered him unilaterally.
Evergreen City Arena.
Su Hao blinked as he looked at his opponent, then asked in confusion, "Sir, have we met somewhere before?"
Ye Tian: "..."
A few months ago, he had still been living his usual life as a Master Ball Tier gatekeeper in Mingi City, until he encountered Su Hao, who had come to play his promotion match.
Ye Tian had originally wanted to teach the younger generation, as a veteran, about the brutality of Master Ball Tier battles. Yet he had never expected to suffer such a crushing defeat, getting swept 3-0 by Su Hao in 3v3 Singles.
Ye Tian admitted that he had harbored a bit of wishful thinking.
For instance, after being crushed by a newcomer, he had left the familiar environment of Mingi City—as well as that group of opponents who knew his Electric-type Pokémon tactics inside out—and come to Evergreen City to make a go of it.
Yet on his very first day in Evergreen City's Master Ball Tier ranked matches, he had run into Su Hao.
Damn it, he had forgotten to check the news before leaving home so he could avoid this kid.
Ye Tian regretted it ten times over—no, nine. This kid had been thriving recently, especially with that Mega Evolution thing. Middle-aged men like them, with one foot already in old age, could not understand it at all. They only knew it was incredibly awesome. Apparently, Su Hao's Mega Lucario had unleashed Elite Four Level attacks during the National Youth Tournament.
Ye Tian's dry lips trembled. With a strained smile, he said, "We merely crossed paths once. No need to mind it, young man."
Su Hao did not think much of it and pointed at the referee beside them.
