If Hu Bin failed to hold out, the powerful Ultra Beast Necrozma would join the other Ultra Beasts in defeating all their defenders. Their side would suffer devastating losses.
They then began drawing up various battle plans, and the meeting did not break up until late at night.
After everyone else had left, Hu Jiaxing remained in the War Room, and Hu Bin stayed behind as well.
Neither needed to say a word. Hu Bin knew his dad must have something to tell him.
Hu Bin asked Hu Jiaxing, "What is it, Dad? What do you want to say?"
Hu Jiaxing kept his eyes on Hu Bin and sighed softly. "Son, are you confident about this? Don't push yourself beyond your limits!"
Hu Bin looked at his father and smiled. "Don't worry, Dad. I'm an Elite Four member, and I'm damn strong! You can all rest easy. Once you've dealt with the other Ultra Beasts, just come help me. I'll hold him off for you, or even beat him! Don't worry!"
Hu Jiaxing smiled with pride. "I truly never imagined my son would accomplish so many miracles so young. You've caught so many trustworthy partners, turned the tide time and again during the outbreaks, won championships in three regions, and become an Elite Four member in all three. And now you're the Huaxia Alliance's Fifth Elite Four. I never imagined it, son. You're my pride and joy!"
Hu Bin blushed at his dad's words. Getting his father's approval felt wonderful!
Hu Bin said, "Like father, like son!"
Hu Jiaxing shook his head with a smile. "You little rascal!"
The two smiled at each other, and the mood grew lighter!
Hu Bin asked, "How's my uncle doing? Has he been training hard? Doesn't he want to become an Elite Four member?"
