The group soon regained their composure.
Of course, everyone knew Muren Under the Moon would not give up so easily. But as far as Yong was concerned, he truly did not care how Under the Moon reacted now.
After all, he was no rookie who had only just set out on his journey and could be intimidated with a few words!
In terms of strength, according to Kofu, Muren Under the Moon was slightly weaker than him. He was the weakest of the three heirs Under the Moon had raised, having only just reached Gym Class! That was why, unable to satisfy his family with his own strength, he spent so much effort on underhanded tricks to increase his influence within the family through other means.
In terms of backing, although the Ishida family owned only a small mining company, they were in the same boat as the Stone family! Add in the many forces friendly toward Yong and his own position among the Hoenn League's candidates, and Under the Moon really could not do much to him!
As long as his strength continued to improve steadily, reaching Elite Four level was a sure thing!
When that time came, Yong would finally have enough strength to begin striking back at his opponents...
Muren Under the Moon and the black-clad referee walked out through the Battle Stage's doors. Looking at the buildings of various shapes outside, Muren Under the Moon suddenly smiled, his gloomy expression vanishing.
"Interesting!"
"Young Master Muren! Do you need me to keep watching them?"
"No... there's no need!"
The two descended the steps along the cliff, one following the other.
"As I said, we'll meet again..."
The referee spoke with some hesitation.
"Will this approach really work? The family head favors Young Master Shinrin more..."
"Hahahaha!"
