<Shocking! The legendary Pokémon League Mustard, who held the title for 18 consecutive years, was defeated by him!>
?????
These are marketing accounts, absolutely marketing accounts!
Roy had just finished his morning exercise, saw this trending headline as soon as he opened IQ.
Arbok, who was following behind, came up, wondering what Roy was so excited about.
Roy pressed down Arbok's massive head, which was completely blocking the Communicator screen.
Although he knew it was a marketing account, Roy still honestly opened the page.
It was indeed the person he knew, the Leon.
The post reported that Leon defeated his teacher, Mustard, and succeeded him as the Galar Champion and Chairman of the Galar Pokémon League.
Today's championship rotation battle made Leon famous overnight. Of course, this is only the beginning of his fame. From now on, he will embark on an undefeated path.
Furthermore, according to the post, Leon is only 15 years old and has already won the world championship, making him the youngest regional champion in history.
The post also included a picture of Leon holding the championship trophy.
The Leon in the picture looks much younger than in the anime and game; his beard isn't as thick, and there's only a small "GG" on the cloak that Sonia made for him.
Whether it was intentional on the photographer's part or not, there's also Raihan, Leon's formidable rival, in the background of the photo, whose mission is to defeat Leon and succeed him as the Galar Champion.
Raihan looked at Leon with a defiant expression and casually took a selfie.
Unfortunately, to become the champion, he first needs to defeat the Galar League's Elite Four. As the Dragon-type Gym Leader, Galar's current Ice-type Elite Four leader, Melissa, has a hard time countering him.
This was the first time Roy had heard of Leon in the Pokémon World. Although Roy had been paying attention to the Galar region, he had very little information about Leon.
Mustard also rarely appears on social media platforms.
Compared to the champions from other regions in the anime, Roy actually has a high opinion of Leon.
Leon can be said to be the most deserving and most competent champion.
Unlike champions from other regions, who often have other professions and hobbies, this one is different.
Leon is solely focused on winning the championship, and since he took over as the president of the Galar Pokémon League, the Galar Region will usher in a period of rapid development.
Leon used the GG fees and sponsorship fees he received to convert the Rose Tower into Battle Tower.
They help train Pokémon Trainer in the Galar Region through battles and share their experience when other Pokémon Trainer ask questions.
They never take shortcuts when facing challenges, and after defeating their opponents, they point out their shortcomings.
It wouldn't be an exaggeration to say that he single-handedly supported the Galar Region.
It's a pity that the undefeated legend was Sheer Force killed off in the anime, and his character was changed to a low-EQ madman who only knows how to fight.
At the same time, Leon was also Mustard's apprentice. After being defeated by Leon, Mustard officially retired.
It can be said that they are a team with two champions.
Furthermore, according to Leon's post, his coach Mustard fled overnight after relinquishing his championship title, leaving only a letter saying he was going to travel around the world.
Further down the list are things like fishing rods and such.
The post still doesn't contain any information about Dynamax.
A year has passed, and not only has Mega Evolution not appeared, but Z-Moves, Gigantamax, and Terastallization have also not appeared.
Roy scrolled down a bit more, and finding no other interesting news, he was about to close the IQ page on his Communicator and head to the cafeteria for lunch.
A quick glance revealed a new feature on iQ: live streaming.
Roy did recall seeing live stream footage in several of the later works.
Is it being broadcast live?
This feature is very helpful for Roy to gain Popularity Points, as he can not only gain Popularity Points from the Hoenn, but also benefit from Popularity Points from other regions.
We are currently 1.15 million Popularity Points short of exchanging for Booster Energy, so we must speed up the process of gaining Popularity Points.
He's going to the Dome Arena this afternoon to complete his 100th consecutive win, so maybe it wouldn't be a bad idea to stream it there.
He took out his Communicator and sent a message to Erika, asking if she could stream from the Dome Arena.
"Roy, are you going to do a live stream too?"
"What do you mean by 'also'?"
"The Dome Arena has also launched its live streaming system, and it's scheduled to premiere this afternoon. If you want to stream, I can help you get a good spot."
"Thank you for your help."
Erika sent me a Gengar making an OK sign emoji.
After hanging up the Communicator Roy thought for a moment and changed his profile picture to an animated GIF of Dusclops sitting on a flattened Sneasel. Although a year has passed, many people still use this kind of emoticon.
He then changed his name to Roy, the future Ghost-type Champion.
Roy opened the live stream page and briefly examined its content, which was largely similar to the live streams from his previous life.
They all involve opening a live stream room where the streamer showcases their talents or Pokémon, and the Present system has been changed to Present like [Farfetch'd's Green Onion] and [Combee's Honey].
If that's the case, wouldn't I be able to become a streamer too?
Roy decided to check out how others were streaming, and soon he found an interesting stream from the Paldea region called "The Stream of the Iono."
