The World Championship, as officially explained, is 'a knockout tournament to compete for the strongest king in the world'.
During the World Championship, a ranking system will be adopted, which means the strong will move up and the weak will move down to determine the final Eight Masters Tournament.
Undoubtedly, this is a very cruel system.
But at the same time, this is also a very fair system, because as long as you have the strength, you can rely on your hard strength to fight your way up.
During the World Championship, you can challenge higher rankings to improve your own ranking.
As long as you can stabilize your ranking in the top eight when the World Championship is nearing its end, then you are one of the 'Eight Masters'!
"The World Championship, huh~ a very good plan."
Rose pondered for a while, then chuckled in agreement; yes, he very much approved of the emergence of this event.
After all, the connections between various regions are not very deep now, especially among the Champion of each region. Although they are all Champions of the Pokemon League, they have no contact or interaction with each other.
This also leads to the fact that many Trainers and people in various regions have no specific definition of the strength difference between Champions.
For example, fans of Wallace and Diantha, out of reverence and admiration for their idols, will naturally believe that Wallace and Diantha are the most excellent and strongest Champions.
But in reality? Those who know, know.
This is due to the lack of 'communication' between various regions. This is not necessarily a bad thing, as no fan wants their fan filter to shatter and see their idol kicked to death by a Champion from another region like a stray dog.
But this is also a bad thing, because for regions with powerful Champions, who wouldn't want their Champion to be famous worldwide and boost the region's popularity?
And Rose, clearly, is the latter!
Rose really wants the Galar region to be world-renowned because he deeply loves the Galar region; this is his ideal and goal.
The World Championship is definitely a good thing for Rose.
No other reason, because Leon is very strong!
This is something Rose can confirm.
Moreover, the Galar region not only has Rose, but also Raihan, Mustard, and even Peony.
Admittedly, Mustard is not currently employed by the Pokemon League, and Peony also does not want to be associated with the Galar League due to personal reasons.
But what about that? They are always Trainers of the Galar region; that much is enough.
Although Rose knows that the Galar region is still not comparable to the Kanto region, isn't it natural for Kanto, as the headquarters region of the Pokemon League, to be strong?
But even if it can't compare to Kanto, it's still easy to beat other regions. The title of the second region is actually not bad, right?
At least, this can greatly enhance Galar's reputation.
"Then, Mammon, you told me this, are you trying to get me to push this plan?"
Rose's fingers tapped rhythmically on his thigh, various thoughts flashing through his mind, as he asked Mammon.
"That's right, for the World Championship to have credibility, it cannot do without the support of the Pokemon League; this is essential."
Mammon nodded, saying that ultimately, the Pokemon League's authority is the highest in the world today.
For the World Championship plan to have credibility, the Pokemon League must come out and support it.
Otherwise, for the vast majority of people, this would just be some random, unknown competition.
"I understand, I am very willing to support it." Rose's lips curled slightly.
"I will submit this plan to Kanto. Such a large-scale event also needs to be prepared in advance, what do you think, Mammon?"
Rose thought for a moment and said to Mammon.
"I think so too."
This is why Mammon contacted Rose. A World Championship encompassing the entire world is definitely not something that can be easily launched.
The preliminary preparation work is already extensive.
"Alright, I will handle this matter as soon as I return to Hammerlocke. Speaking of which, the Champion Cup is also starting next month. Mammon, would you like to come and watch?"
Rose invited Mammon.
"I am personally very interested, but the timing clashes. My girlfriend is participating in the Manalo Tournament in Alola, so I won't be able to attend the Champion Cup."
"I see, that's truly a pity, but I didn't expect you to have a girlfriend, Mammon."
Rose became a little interested; this was truly the first time he had heard of it.
According to his information, Mammon was always surrounded by beautiful women, enjoying a great fortune in love, especially Caitlin, who was practically inseparable from Mammon.
Rose had thought Mammon and Caitlin were a couple, but it turns out they weren't?
After all, Mammon said his girlfriend is currently in the Alola region.
"Yes~ it's been a very, very long time since we last met, but I think you'll hear her name very soon, Mr. Rose."
Mammon replied with emotion, full of confidence.
"Oh? Then I shall look forward to it."
After chatting a few more words with Rose, Mammon hung up the phone.
In the following days, Mammon spent time with Caitlin and the others, touring around the Galar region.
Rose faced considerable public opinion these past few days because he had announced the events in Motostoke City. His 'rearing' of the Darkest Day naturally caused many Galar people to feel a sense of dread.
However, Rose's attitude was sincere, and although Motostoke City was destroyed, Rose was willing to offer compensation, and his commitment to fully fund the reconstruction of Motostoke City was also considered sufficiently sincere.
Rose's position in the Galar region is unquestionable, and the matter quickly subsided.
However, Rose's mention that Mammon had summoned the legendary heroes Zacian and Zamazenta to defeat the Darkest Day once again also caused a huge stir.
The fact that the legendary heroes were two Pokémon undoubtedly shattered the 'legend' passed down through generations.
The descendants of the Galar Royal Family immediately couldn't sit still and jumped out high-profile. They publicly declared that Rose was lying and demanded that Rose and Sonia, who published the paper, apologize.
It is worth mentioning that these two descendants of the Galar Royal Family actually went to threaten Sonia. Fortunately, Mammon sent Team Rockets' subordinates to protect his newly joined Team Rockets doctor, so Sonia's safety was not an issue.
But undoubtedly, this incident angered Mammon and Rose, who knew about the matter.
Under the joint wanted order of Team Rockets and the Galar League, well, these two descendants of the Galar Royal Family were quickly caught.
And with Rose's tacit approval, Mammon had them taken away and sent to mine.
One can only say that they truly became mere clowns.
Hammerlocke Airport.
"Goodbye, Serena, and good luck in the Professor Sycamore Tournament!"
Platinum hugged Serena reluctantly and offered her blessings to her sister.
That's right, Serena was returning to the Kalos region.
"Mhm~ you too, good luck at the Lily of the Valley Conference! Let's both become Champions!" Serena's eyes sparkled brightly, and she also wished Platinum good luck in advance.
"Let's celebrate together after the Tournament!"
"Alright!"
Platinum also felt her fighting spirit rise.
"Oh, and one more thing." Serena glanced at Mammon and Caitlin, then leaned in to Platinum's ear.
"You need to hurry up, Akari, don't make Akari wait too long."
"Serena, what are you talking about?!"
Platinum's pretty face immediately turned red, and she replied shyly in a low voice.
"You, you~!" Serena exclaimed, disappointed.
"Your future with Mammon is set, so getting it done quickly is the real business. Being shy will only drag it out. What if another girl who craves Mammon's body gets ahead of you?"
As Serena spoke, her expression was also a bit strange, and her eyes were a little unfocused.
"Ugh…" Platinum bit her soft lips, her delicate little face looking quite conflicted.
"Just be brave, okay, darling? You're so pretty, and Mammon actually likes you, so what's there to be embarrassed about?"
Serena's tone was quite complex.
"If I were you, Akari would already be in my belly!"
This was truly not nonsense. Serena's personality was serious and decisive. Her daughter had already traveled back from the future; this was an established marriage right before her eyes.
Moreover, Mammon was so excellent, and it wasn't like he didn't like her, so what was there to hesitate about?
If she didn't act now, she would be waiting for other girls to get a head start, and then she would be behind them?
"I… I know…"
Platinum's cheeks were a deeper crimson, and she quietly replied in a soft voice.
Serena hugged her good sister one last time. In short, she had already advised her. If Platinum still couldn't muster the courage, she couldn't blame her later.
Well, anyway, she had already spoken her mind.
Then Serena looked at Mammon, who was currently looking at her with a gentle smile.
"Remember to send a message when you get to Kalos. Good luck in the Professor Sycamore Tournament. I'm waiting for your good news."
Mammon said with a warm smile.
He didn't think Serena would lose to Diantha; he believed Serena would definitely win!
"Mhm~!" Serena nodded heavily, her eyes filled with a hint of sadness and reluctance at their parting.
Although the time she spent traveling with Mammon wasn't actually very long, Serena felt that this period was the most memorable time of her life.
"I will definitely become the Kalos Champion! Mammon, please watch me."
Taking a deep breath, Serena seriously promised Mammon.
She absolutely did not want to disappoint Mammon!
And… she felt that she should also muster her courage.
"Of course, I've always believed in you, because you are Serena."
Mammon chuckled, his tone not heavy, but his unwavering belief made Serena's face show genuine joy.
"Mammon."
"Hm, what is it?"
"…Can I have a hug?"
Hesitating for less than a second, Serena bravely asked Mammon.
Platinum, who was still immersed in her mental storm nearby, was stunned when she heard this, looking at Serena in surprise.
The delicate face of the girl from Vaniville Town was still fair, without shyness or blushing, but in her beautiful, bright eyes, there was a moving sparkle.
So moving that Platinum was somewhat captivated.
Caitlin's delicate brows furrowed slightly, but only slightly; she didn't seem surprised.
"Of course." Mammon was only momentarily surprised, then he stepped forward and opened his arms to embrace the beautiful girl from Vaniville Town.
Serena also opened her arms, wrapped them around Mammon's waist, and gently rested her face against Mammon's chest.
Thump thump thump~
Serena closed her eyes. At this moment, she could clearly hear the strong heartbeat, and she could clearly feel the warm temperature of the young man's chest she was leaning against.
And the pleasant scent of the young man's body.
Serena's lips unconsciously curved upwards. This was her first time, her very first time, being so close to the young man.
This feeling of bodies pressed together made her feel completely comfortable.
However…
"???"
Platinum's eyes widened, her mind somewhat frozen as she watched Mammon and Serena hugging tightly.
Sister, do you still remember what you just told me?
You just called me darling, and now you're hugging my future baby's dad right in front of me??
And hugging him so tightly! I saw it!
