"Congratulations. You won another championship."
"Why does that sound a little sour?"
After the award ceremony and the final group photo, Lu Ze headed into the lounge as well.
It was not as though only Pokémon that had appeared in the match could join the group photo.
Any of Lu Ze's Pokémon could take part in the final photo.
So Lu Ze released all of his Pokémon in the end.
Naturally, when all of Lu Ze's Pokémon appeared on the field, the audience erupted in cheers.
There were just too many Pokémon!
Crobat, Snorlax, Charizard, Electivire, Crawdaunt, Sirfetch'd, and Shuckle.
Whimsicott, Iron Valiant, Lucario, Ceruledge, Metagross, Gengar, Hydreigon, and Porygon.
Especially when the silver-white Metagross and white Gengar appeared, the cheers resounded throughout the venue.
Crobat stood behind Lu Ze, with Snorlax and Charizard beside him.
Whimsicott sat atop Snorlax's head, Shuckle sat atop Charizard's head, and the delighted Porygon sprawled across Lu Ze's head.
The other Pokémon surrounded them. Unfortunately, Dratini and Zorua were absent, as were Victini and Hoopa.
Otherwise, the photo would have been even more perfect.
Even so, Lu Ze was still very happy when he looked at the final picture.
"Sour my ass!"
Although he really was a little sour, Sui Yan immediately refused to accept it after hearing Lu Ze say that.
"Just wait, I'll definitely defeat you!"
"Hah, you'll only be qualified to challenge me once you reach second place in the World Elite Four Rankings."
"Keep it up."
Lu Ze patted Sui Yan on the shoulder, but Sui Yan still smacked his hand away in disgust.
Lu Ze did not mind. This was just the jealousy of a loser!
"It's a shame I didn't make it to the finals. Otherwise, I could've had a Full Battle with you."
"You still can now."
