Chapter 359: The Grand Final!!!! (Part 3)
In the stands, the crowd froze in confusion. No one had expected Elder Venom to remove her mask in the middle of the final match.
Thousands of spectators leaned forward, squinting to catch a glimpse of the face beneath. The cameramen, sensing a viral moment, immediately swiveled their lenses away from the arena and zoomed in on the trainer's box.
The world watched with bated breath, curiosity peaking as they waited to see which legendary figure had fought their way to the finals.
But when the mask came off, the reaction was a collective... "Huh?"
"Who... who is that?"
"Do you recognize her?"
"Never seen her. Is she even from Huaxia?"
The audience scratched their heads, looking at each other in bewilderment. They saw an elderly woman, her face a map of wrinkles, with sharp, intelligent eyes. But to the modern generation, she was a total stranger. Some even began to question her nationality—surely a trainer this powerful couldn't have remained anonymous in Huaxia for so long.
It wasn't that she wasn't famous. It was that she had been a household name when their grandfathers were still in diapers.
Grandma Liu wasn't just a veteran of this century; she was a relic of the last.
However, on the high platform, Lawson (Northwest Elite) was no longer sitting. He leaned over the railing, his hand stroking his goatee as he stared at the woman. "Strange..." he murmured to himself. "That face... why does it feel like I'm looking at a history book?"
Grandma Liu ignored the chatter. She didn't care about the world's recognition. She reached for the Poké Ball on her cane.
"Come out! My old partner!!"
POP!!!! —
With a crisp sound, the ball burst open. Instead of a beam of light, a thick, rolling purple mist poured out, slithering across the arena floor.
"Wait??! Why is the sky changing again??!?"
Spectators looked up. A dense, violet haze was rising into the atmosphere, coiling like smoke and blotting out the sun. The bright afternoon was suddenly plunged into an eerie, monochromatic twilight.
"Is it... another Legendary???"
Someone in the stands cried out in disbelief. To trigger a global environmental shift just by entering the field was a trait usually reserved for God-tier Pokémon.
Everyone watched the purple gas with wide eyes, waiting for the titan to emerge.
In the center of the mist, a round, portly silhouette began to take shape.
"GEN-GAAAAA!!!! —"
The Pokémon clapped its hands over its belly, letting out a wicked, cackling laugh. It was a Gengar, but it was surrounded by an aura of purple energy so dense it looked like a physical shroud.
"A Gengar??!"
"Wait, how does a Gengar change the weather??!"
The crowd was baffled. They had expected a Mythical beast, not a common Ghost-type.
"Gengar??!!! It's really her??! How can it be her??!"
On the high platform, Lawson's face turned white. He looked at the woman in the box with absolute, raw shock.
"Lawson? What's wrong? Do you know her?" Rainey Chang asked, startled by the veteran's sudden loss of composure.
Lawson's voice was a shaky whisper. "That woman... she is the Poison-type Elite Four who vanished a century ago. She is the legendary Grandma Liu!!!"
"WHAT??! A century ago??" Rainey gasped. The math was impossible. If she was an Elite Four member a hundred years ago, how old was she now?
But with the name provided, the older trainers in the building began to raid their memories. Grandma Liu—the Poison Master of the previous era. A prodigy who had risen like a meteor, training Poison-types to a level that bordered on the divine. She had once been considered the only trainer in Huaxia who could potentially rival the Zhurong bloodline in raw talent.
And then, at the peak of her power, she had simply... evaporated. Vanished from the public eye for three generations.
To see her return now was like seeing a ghost walk into the sun.
While the other Elites were reeling from the history lesson, Zhurong Yun's expression had turned deeply thoughtful. He remembered stories from his great-grandfather's journals—stories of a Zhurong ancestor and a Poison-type master who had a complicated, painful history of love and rivalry.
"Limitless Evolution!!! Awaken!! Beedrill! MEGA EVOLVE!!!!"
Kenji didn't wait for the shock to settle. He slammed his hand onto his bracelet, triggering his ultimate form immediately.
"SIII...!!!"
White light erupted, forming a protective cocoon around Beedrill.
On the other side, Grandma Liu mirrored the motion, her movements slow and deliberate as she raised a stone of her own.
"Let the darkness swallow the world! Gengar! MEGA EVOLVE!!"
"GEN-GAAAA!!!! —"
Two pillars of evolution energy detonated simultaneously, their radiance illuminating the purple gloom of the stadium. The raw power being channeled was so great it generated a localized windstorm within the arena.
BOOM!!! —
Kenji's partner finished first. The light shattered, revealing the pinnacle of speed and lethality. Mega Beedrill had arrived.
ZZZZZT!!! —
Mega Beedrill hovered in the air, its wings vibrating so fast the sound was like a high-voltage hum. Its yellow-and-red armored body looked like it was forged from celestial metal, and its five stingers glinted with a cold, murderous light.
A second later, the light on the opposite side exploded.
Mega Gengar stood on the field.
