The Publication of the Papers, the Z-Power System That Shocked the World

After an "intense battle."

Gula:凸(艹皿艹)

Gula:(;′Д`)

Shang Ren:

I can't beat Fang Yuan, but I can't beat you either?!

Not long after.

A highly popular video appeared on the official website for the World Pokémon League Conference.

Title: <China Elite Four Shang Ren VS United States Champion Gula>

Less than a year had passed since the World Championship, and discussions surrounding the previous tournament were still running high.

Below the video were more detailed introductions to the two people involved.

One was an obscure ordinary member of the China Second Team, while the other was the arrogant, untouchable captain of the America First Team...

It looked like a one-sided match... and in truth, it was.

Only, Shang Ren was the one who had crushed Gula.

The video's terrifying popularity was entirely because its outcome had exceeded the expectations of trainers from every country.

The footage was immensely impactful!!

A massive rock mass nearly twenty meters in diameter slammed Volcarona out of the sky as easily as a human swatting a grasshopper.

As the gigantic boulder fell, a huge crater instantly appeared in the Battle Arena. The flying rubble and dust left every trainer who watched the video staring wide-eyed.

At the bottom of the crater... Volcarona was severely injured. It was utterly miserable.

Within just a few hours, the comments section had already erupted into chaos.
