Champion Matters

A new Hoenn League Champion had been born!

Before the eyes of countless spectators, he had challenged Victory Road in the most orthodox manner and defeated the Elite Four!

He had accomplished this feat in less than two short days.

And this would later be seen as a crucial turning point—or rather, a starting point—for the younger generation taking up the League's heavy responsibilities!

Of course, that was a matter for later.

At that moment, after completing his champion registration in the Hall of Fame, Jing He accepted the cape representing the Champion from Drake, under the watchful eyes of Bonnie, Fu Rong, Sidney, and the Hoenn League's upper management.

Rustle—

The cape settled over his shoulders.

Hoenn League Champion, Teacher Jing He, had officially taken office!

Beyond the uproar online, the spectators currently gathered at the Ever Grande Conference venue—the site of the Champion's inauguration ceremony—offered up their loudest cheers.

Bang!!

Fireworks and celebratory bursts bloomed in dazzling colors.

"Teacher finally became Champion."

Steven Stone, who had come to the venue, rarely showed a trace of excitement as he applauded with everyone else.

Naturally, Steven knew all too well about his teacher's easygoing nature. Jing He had never held much desire to become one of the Elite Four or the Champion.

Steven had always believed that his teacher was entirely qualified and capable of becoming an Elite Four member or Champion, but since his teacher had never expressed any interest, he, as a student, could not say much either.

Now, however.

Watching his teacher finally become the League Champion and shoulder the important burden of protecting the entire Hoenn Region, he suddenly felt as if his wish for his teacher to achieve greatness had come true.

He was sincerely happy.
