Amid fluttering streamers, Lu Ze stood with all his Pokémon and pressed their paw prints onto a massive clay plaque!
"At last, I'm the champion."
Looking at the handprints of each of his Pokémon on the enormous plaque before him, Lu Ze wore a happy smile.
Looking at Lu Ze, Ludwig recalled the first time he had won a championship.
Back then, he too had been full of youthful vigor.
[Mom, I witnessed history. I saw the youngest world number one in history!]
[Elite Four Lu Ze is so handsome! I want to have his babies!]
[Elite Four Lu Ze—no, he should be called Master Lu Ze now. After successfully winning the championship, he should be able to hold onto the world number one title longer than Elite Four Ludwig did, right?]
The viewers in the livestream cheered as well, though there were naturally some sour remarks from people in other countries.
However, those jealous comments were quickly buried beneath the frantically scrolling barrage of messages.
After the huge plaque was lowered, Sui Yan, Tang Yunqin, Su Tingxi, and the others excitedly rushed onto the stage and hugged Lu Ze.
If Lu Ze had not stopped them with all his might, they would have already tossed him into the air.
After cheering for a while, Sui Yan and the others finally stepped down when Zhuge Ziyu took the stage.
"First, let us congratulate Elite Four Lu Ze on becoming the world number one."
"He is the youngest world number one powerhouse in history, as well as the youngest Master level Trainer."
As Zhuge Ziyu spoke, he turned to glance at Lu Ze. "It's a pity that only Crobat broke through to Champion level. If all six Pokémon had broken through to Champion level, we could call Lu Ze a Champion
