Xia Chedan smiled calmly. Although he had lost the match, he had fought well enough and was satisfied.
The moment the portrait of Gyarados, Xia Chedan's last Pokémon, dimmed on the big screen, the spectators rose to their feet and cheered, shouting Hu Bin's name until their voices grew hoarse!
"Hu Bin, that was amazing! Congratulations!"
"Hu Bin, you're so handsome!"
"Hu Bin! Hu Bin! Number one in Huaxia!"
"Hu Bin, congratulations!"
Hu Bin was completely stunned. He had never imagined that he would already be the champion of the China Pokémon League Conference.
His smile grew brighter and brighter!
He spread his arms and closed his eyes, basking in the cheers that belonged to him.
Far away on the officials' platform, Hu Jiaxing's eyes glistened as he watched his son claim the championship.
Many of the Elite Four members came over to congratulate Hu Jiaxing. He wiped the corners of his eyes and responded to each of them with a smile.
The host announced excitedly, "We have our winner! The champion of the China Pokémon League Conference has been crowned-Hu Bin! Let's cheer even louder and welcome our champion, Hu Bin!"
The moment the host finished speaking, countless fireworks shot into the sky and burst in every direction!
Hu Bin's portrait filled the entire big screen, his smile brimming with confidence and pride.
Hu Bin waved to the spectators. Just then, the system's voice rang out.
