January 8th, Saturday.
In the dead of winter, snowflakes fell from the sky above the Miare Clubhouse, and the commentator's passionate shouts echoed.
"What a beautiful strike! Boscodora's iron tail hit Hypermethylpyrexia!"
Hypermethylpyrexia's body stiffened, and it fell to the ground with a thud. Dust flew everywhere.
"Another top four contestant is born! He's Shinji from the Mystical Veil City! "
The audience's shouts came from the live broadcast. Lei Si, who was 90% similar to Shinji, clenched his fists excitedly.
"You've tied the record of the Lily of the Valley Conference. Go, Shinji!"
In the front row, the black-haired young man stroked Fairy's Ibu, and beside him was Kerni, who was chattering.
The master and disciple met outside the venue, and Mr. Lu and Kerni came to the VIP seats together.
"Master! Did you see that? That strike was so powerful! "Kerni said excitedly.
"I saw it." Lu Ye stroked her snow-white back.
Fairy's Ibu was squatting, and her bow swayed gently. She squinted her eyes and made a soft sound. "Boo!"
"I should be able to defeat Boscodora …" Lu Ye said.
"Huh?" Kerni's eyes widened, and she turned to look at her master. Seeing that he didn't seem to be joking, she looked even more confused.
"You have to work hard too, Kerni," Lu Ye teased, "After all, your senior sister, Cai Dou, can already fight with Monster Strength with her bare hands …"
"A Grandmaster of Combat can't be a burden to Pokémon. You have to become a part of their combat power!" Lu Ye said with certainty.
Kerni's mouth opened slightly, and she nodded subconsciously. Then, she said softly,
"Um … Master, my cultivation of Wave Guide Power has stagnated. I want to ask for your guidance."
"Then you can go to the Prism Tower to train later."
Lu Ye suggested, "The AI Shiteloit can be a good training partner."
Shiteloit won't feel pain, and it can also gain experience.
The power of science is so great!
Ke Erni's yellow ponytail swayed slightly. Her eyes sparkled as she replied loudly, "Yes, Master!"
The shouts attracted everyone's attention. The audience looked at the man in the front row and whispered.
"Is that …"
"Damn, it seems to be him!"
"A living legendary trainer?"
Before causing a commotion, Mr. Lu took his disciple, Kerni, to the next competition venue.
It wasn't hard to understand why the Cyan Green always carried a pair of sunglasses with him whenever he went out. Chi Hong, on the other hand, lowered the brim of his hat, almost covering his entire face.
After all, the title of "Fighting a Legend" was too well-known.
In addition, Mr. Lu had been active in various regions for the past year. His popularity was even higher than that of the Eight Great Masters such as Dendi and Adu.
"Master, the semifinals will be held this afternoon, right?" Kerni asked.
"Yes, the results of the draw will be announced soon," Lu Ye replied.
I've been a fan of anime for ten years, so I'm a little nervous …
Mr. Lu looked up at the sky. The top four contestants were Xiaozhi, Ai Lan, Shinji, and Shota.
Ai Lan's Super Fire-Breathing Dragon X defeated ten contestants in the trial and even defeated the King of Fire, Paqira. Judging from the situation, she did have the ability to win the championship.
Of course, Xiaozhi's team was not inferior.
There was even Ge Jihua's prediction of winning the championship, Sis Se's encouragement, and Cyan Green's special training.
The buffs were stacked full.
Lu Ye put his sunglasses in his jacket pocket and nodded slightly.
Super True Newbie, come on!
…
Miare Arena, Merchant District.
"Welcome." Xiao Lan sat behind the counter listlessly.
"Ahem!" Dr. Ohki coughed. "It's me."
"Dr. Ohki! And … "
Xiao Lan looked at the gentle woman beside her and said in surprise,
"Auntie Hanako? You're here too! "
"Yeah, I'm here to cheer for Xiaozhi." Hanako covered her mouth and chuckled.
"Really New Village sent out a large team," Xiao Lan said curiously. "Where are Red and Green?"
"Oh, they didn't come. They said they were afraid that they would challenge Lu Ye if they arrived," Dr. Ohki said with a smile.
"That's true … They'll fight as soon as they see Mr. Lu," Xiao Lan said helplessly.
Logically speaking, they had already agreed to fight for an entire year, but this battle had yet to begin.
They would probably have to wait until the World Championship before Mr. Lu showed his enthusiasm.
"How's your business?" Dr. Ohki asked.
Xiao Lan shot him a resentful look, and Dr. Dami was stunned. He laughed and scratched his head as he looked at the giant screen above the main hall.
The screen suddenly lit up with information. The visitors looked up and discussed excitedly.
"The results of the groups are out!"
"Xiaozhi VS Shinji, Ai Lan VS Shota!"
In the hall, Xiaozhi looked up at the screen. Behind him was Serena and the others.
"Against Shinji …"
Xiaozhi lowered his head. There was no worry about losing in his eyes. Instead, his desire to fight was burning.
Mr. Lu and Kerni walked through the hall and saw Xiaozhi and the others.
If there was no other way, he could bring the Flame Monkey … It was better for Monkey King to punish Qu than Ninja Frog to punish Qu.
Mr. Lu wanted to say that, but when he saw Xiaozhi's eyes, he smiled.
No matter what, this was Xiaozhi's dream.
In the end, it had to be realized by himself.
**
"Ladies and gentlemen! After the break, welcome back to the semifinals of the Miare Conference! "
The passionate commentary echoed in the hall.
"The battle between Ai Lan and Shota has reached its climax!"
Ai Lan, in a black vest, clenched his fists and shouted.
"Fire-breathing Dragon, Dragon Claw!"
Super Fire-breathing Dragon X flapped its black wings. Blue flames surged from its mouth, and green dragon shadows bloomed from its claws. It roared and slashed continuously.
The seed gun fired from the Super Lizard King's mouth was cut in half by the dragon claw. The distance between the two was shortened. The dragon claw slashed down!
Boom!
Shota was sweating profusely. When the smoke dissipated, the Lizard King fell to the ground.
"The result of Group A is out. Ai Lan advances to the finals!"
Amidst the cheers and shouts, Ai Lan stroked the Fire-breathing Dragon and put it back into the Pokeball. She turned and walked toward the contestants' tunnel.
"We won! That's great!" Manon was excited and cheered around Ai Lan.
"It's just the semifinals."
Ai Lan looked back at the arena, his eyes flashing. "No matter who advances, there will be a tough fight."
"Ai Lan and the Fire-breathing Dragon are already very strong. They don't have to prove themselves by winning the championship," Manon said.
Ai Lan calmly put his hand on Manon's hat.
"Hey, you won't grow tall like this," Manon shouted.
"Let's go." Ai Lan turned and left. "Prepare for tomorrow's finals."
"Ai Lan, wait for me!" Manon hurried to catch up.
I don't care if I have the guidance of a legendary trainer or the support of a fan club … I just want to protect the people I want to protect.
I don't need to be humble. I want to win.
Ai Lan's eyes were burning.
The Fire-breathing Dragon and I won't give up the victory so easily!
The audience in the stadium still hadn't left. It was a hubbub of voices.
"The next match is between Xiaozhi and Shinji!"
Mr. Lu sat in the VIP section and watched the two teenagers walk onto the arena. He was in a daze.
The last time they fought was at the Conference of the Lily of the Valley half a year ago.
The elevator came to a stop with a clang, revealing the forest and the river. The two figures walked toward the command center and looked at each other.
Their six months of travel and growth had turned into a fierce clash of beliefs.
"The victory is mine," Shinji said coldly.
Xiaozhi grinned and said, "Then you can give it a try!"
The moment the referee waved the flag, the two threw their Pokeballs at the same time and shouted:
"Go, Sticky Dragon!"
"Go, Mud Tortoise!"
"Both contestants sent out Pokémon that can adapt to the terrain!" the commentator said.
Dr. Bratano stroked his beard and said, "Xiaozhi has the advantage in terms of attributes."
"Xiaozhi doesn't know how to use a slow Pokémon like Sticky Dragon."
Mr. Lu felt a headache coming on. "I think it's just for show."
"Use the sharp stones!" Shinji said.
The Earthen Turtle raised its forelimbs, and the gigantic plant on its back blocked out the sunlight. With a loud thud, it smashed into the ground, and rows of rock pillars rose from the ground with a loud crack. They were like sharp blades that sent Ni Meilong flying into the air and heavily injured him!
"Wu ~" The Sticky Meilong let out a mournful cry and fell into the river with a 'bang', splashing water everywhere.
"Lure it into the river!" Xiaozhi shouted. "Use Pray for Rain!!"
"Pray for Rain!?" Citron was shocked.
Xiaozhi … was starting to use weather tactics!
"Not bad. Try this." Shinji smiled and stretched out his arm. "Crazy Plant!!"
"Roar!!" The Earthen Tortoise raised its head and roared. Four or five seeds flew out from the plant on its back and fell to the ground. In an instant, thick and strong vines rose up like dancing pythons. They smashed down in all directions, shaking the forest and rivers.
"Use Mad Dance to stop it!" Xiaozhi said.
The water column rose into the air, followed by a series of popping sounds, and a hazy rain fell from the sky. Sticky Dragon swung its tentacles, and with the help of the sticky liquid, it circled around the Crazy Plant. A dark purple light rose from its mouth, and Dragon's Wave was about to be released!
Shinji pressed the Pokeball, and a beam of red light shot out, retrieving the Mud Tortoise.
"Contestant Shinji retrieved the Mud Tortoise? He read Xiaozhi's command and chose to rotate! "the commentator said.
Mr. Lu crossed his arms. The Mud Tortoise was in a stiff state, and rotating was the best choice for Shinji.
On a rainy day, the hit rate of Thunder was as high as 99%.
"Go, Electric Monster!" Shinji shouted. "Use Thunder!!"
"Roar!!"
The Flame Monkey is not here. How can you fight me one-on-one?
Red light bloomed, and the eyes of the electric beast turned scarlet. The electrode tubes on its back crackled with blue sparks and shot thick electric currents towards the dark clouds. For a moment, the wind and clouds changed, and it was as if the dark clouds had struck down a lightning pillar. The electric light swallowed the Sticky Meilong whole!
The audience hissed. Xiaozhi's face was illuminated by the lightning, and his eyes were firm.
"Now, use Endurance to fight back!" Xiaozhi said.
Endurance: Endure continuous attacks, and the damage received will be returned to the opponent double!
Lu Ye was speechless.
It kept getting hit, and it was miserable. None of the tank-type Pokémon that followed Xiaozhi had a good ending.
When the lightning dissipated, Sticky Dragon's body was charred black and emitting black smoke. It suddenly raised its head, and a bright beam of light shot out of its mouth!!
"Hold it," Shinji said calmly.
The audience was in an uproar.
"Damn, Shinji knows his Pokémon well!"
"He's so professional!"
A green barrier lit up in front of the Electric Monster, and it tried its best to block the beam of light. The light shone, and the barrier cracked. The Electric Monster moved backward, plowed through the mud, and suddenly roared. A dazzling 100,000 volts poured out, swallowing Sticky Dragon in the rain! Beep!
On the big screen, one of Xiaozhi's Pokeballs dimmed.
However, what appeared on the field was a tall and straight Kaga ninja frog with its arms crossed.
Dr. Bratano frowned and said, "Is this a counter elemental battle?"
Mr. Lu raised his eyebrows.
A counter elemental battle? This was a sure win!
"You're still the same, Xiaozhi," Shinji said calmly.
"No, I've made new friends and spent precious time traveling."
Xiaozhi's eyes were firm as he reached out to the side. "So, Shinji, I'm going to show you how powerful I am!"
Shinji frowned slightly. The Electric Monster stood in the rain, and raindrops splashed everywhere. Its eyes were scarlet red, and it gave off an oppressive aura.
"We can still become stronger!"
Xiaozhi roared to the sky, and the Koga ninja frog screamed at the same time. The two clenched their fists at the same time, and their eyes changed at the same time.
"Go, Koga ninja frog!"
"Kuga!"
Water splashed everywhere, and the light of evolution shone brightly.
The Koga ninja frog stood in the rain with red patterns on its head. Its eyes were calm, and its red scarf fluttered in the wind. A huge sword gathered behind its back!
The audience was in an uproar, and the commentator said excitedly.
"The special form of the Koga ninja frog is here!"
Shinji and the Electric Monster stared at the Koga ninja frog quietly, and the corners of their mouths suddenly curled up.
"Whether it's Ferocious Fire or Binding Transformation, Xiaozhi, you will always have something that others dream of."
"But …" Shinji closed his eyes. "These are all unattainable. Only a calm mind and efficient tactics are the best choice for a trainer."
"Love is something that no one will talk about after losing too many times."
Shinji looked up with sharp eyes. "I'm telling you, I will be the winner!"
"No, even if I keep losing, I will continue to love it."
Xiaozhi clenched his fists. "This is the Flying Shuriken of the Koga ninja frog and me!"
"Kuga!"
The Koga ninja frog jumped up and took out the Flying Shuriken. It spun and gathered sharp water currents, and then threw the Flying Shuriken at the Electric Monster in the rain.
"Thunder Fist!" Shinji yelled.
The Electric Monster punched the Flying Shuriken, and the Electric Monster smashed the Flying Shuriken. When it looked up again, the Koga ninja frog had disappeared.
"Behind me!" Shinji was shocked.
"Sneak attack!" Xiaozhi yelled.
The Electric Monster turned its head and saw the Koga ninja frog crouching down. A dark blade lit up in its palm, and it aimed at the Electric Monster's weak point.
It was a critical hit!
In the heavy rain, the Electric Monster's body stiffened. It turned its head and stared.
"Roar …"
I've seen Pokémon with strong beliefs like you.
It is my dream to fight it again, but maybe …
You will carry my dream and continue to move forward.
Dong!
The Electric Monster fell to the ground. The heavy rain receded, and the sun shone on the Koga ninja frog's red pattern.
"Kuga." The Koga ninja frog looked at the Electric Monster and nodded.
"I promise you."
Cheers suddenly erupted. The score was 1: 1, but the Binding Ninja Frog brought the atmosphere to a climax.
Shinji took back the Electric Monster and put one hand in his pocket. "I envy you, Xiaozhi."
"You have a strict teacher, a close friend, and many talented Pokémon."
"But maybe …"
Shinji suddenly smiled. "It's not because they are talented. It's because they met you that they found a home."
Xiaozhi was stunned. Shinji's expression returned to its usual cold expression. He raised his hand and threw a pokeball.
"Boscodora, Mega Evolution!"
Facing the Super Boscodora, which was as tall as a mountain, Xiaozhi turned the brim of his hat and grinned.
"It's time, Koga ninja frog!"
"Kuga!" The Koga ninja frog raised its sword and jumped up, blocking the sun.
**
Beep! The final whistle sounded.
The final score was 6: 4.
"Xiaozhi from Really New Village advances to the finals!" the commentator announced.
Cheers erupted. Xiaozhi's supporters waved their flags and cheered. His friends and relatives kept waving their hands.
Shinji's expression was calm as he turned around and left.
"Shinji," Xiaozhi shouted.
"If you want to sympathize with the loser, please don't. I will vomit," Shinji said coldly.
"I mean …"
Xiaozhi grinned. "You played well, but I'm still stronger!"
"You …" Shinji paused for a moment, then curled his lips. "You learned how to taunt!"
"I learned it from you." Xiaozhi smiled and reached out his hand.
"Don't lose." Shinji patted Xiaozhi's hand hard. "That Ai Lan … is very strong."
"You can't lose to a trainer other than me!" Shinji said.
Xiaozhi nodded lightly. His eyes were firm.
"Leave it to me!"
Xiaozhi, who had received Shinji's blessing, was about to embark on his journey to the finals of the Miare Conference.
What was waiting for him?! (Narration)
"Please look forward to the next episode … Ahem, I mean, the finals will start tomorrow."
Lu Ye clenched his fist and coughed lightly. He looked at the blonde beauty in the video call and said,
"Then my schedule will be over. I'll be heading to Alola."
"I see …"
Zhu Lan touched her chin and changed the topic.
"What about the employees in the coffee shop?"
"I'm planning to open a branch in Alola," Lu Ye said. "It's very convenient to use the halo of the little handkerchief to transport Pokémon."
"That's illegal immigration!" Zhu Lan said helplessly.
Speaking of illegal immigration … Fatty Ding had been smuggled to Alola.
He had also found a lifelong friend, the Tree Koala, in Alola.
Zhu Lan stayed in Shenao Alliance, but she took a break from her busy schedule and played games with Mr. Lu the whole night.
The next morning, they had to watch the finals.
Lu Ye yawned as he arrived at the main venue. When he passed by the players' lounge, he caught a glimpse of Xiaozhi, who was seriously preparing for the finals.
Six Pokémon stood in front of Xiaozhi as he explained, "Don't worry.
"Ai Lan still has two Quasi Gods, Bankyras and the Giant Gold Monster. We can use Mr. Lu's tactics: the Fierce Arrow Eagle's tailwind can be used to speed up, or it can be used to follow the Beautiful Dragon's backhand and steal the rain …"
The silly thing had started to explain tactics.
Lu Ye nodded with satisfaction.
Let me personally draw a perfect end to Pokémon XY!
