He stood there blankly for a long time, and suddenly he laughed.
Laughing like crazy.
The expression is very distorted.
"Haha, get smaller, flaming fist, get smaller, flaming fist, good, good, good, good!!!"
"Shrink, flaming fist, shrink, flaming fist..."
Is this crazy?
That shouldn't be the case. No one would go crazy after playing a game. It must be because I put too much pressure on myself.
Alas, poor child.
Lu Yuan thought with regret.
At this time, agent Liu Jing immediately ran to Lu Ye who was laughing wildly, and used her body to block the TV reporters who were filming him.
“Stop filming! Stop filming!”
She was about to cry. It turned out that women's sixth sense was accurate.
......
At the Pokémon Center, pick up Pachirisu and eat at the buffet here.
Just as Lu Yuan was about to leave, he was stopped by a female reporter who said she wanted to interview him.
Lu Yuan also recognized her. She was one of the many TV stations at the competition venue just now.
The female reporter came to Lu Yuan and said with a smile: "Don't be nervous, we are just doing a simple interview. It doesn't matter if you can't answer. We have a professional editing team in the later stage..."
"Okay." Lu Yuan nodded in agreement.
Sinnoh TV and Sinnoh Daily belong to the same company, and they place the utmost importance on integrity, so I don't think there will be any malicious editing.
And maybe it can also bring some traffic to the gym.
At the same time, Pachilis, who was lying on Lu Yuan's shoulder, also showed a well-behaved expression.
If I'm going to be on TV, I have to behave well.
"Okay, let's get started."
Seeing that everyone was ready, the female reporter made an OK gesture to the photographer, then turned to look at Lu Yuan.
After the two briefly introduced themselves, the female reporter asked the first question.
"Mr. Lu Yuan, what belief supports you in choosing Chanel as your beginner Pokémon? After all, in the eyes of the public, Chanel is not good at fighting?"
"I think that whether a Pokémon is powerful or weak is just a personal opinion of human beings. A truly powerful trainer should become stronger in order to make his favorite Pokémon win." Lu Yuandao.
This was not just some random talk, but came from his deep understanding after spending these few days with Jigglypuff and the others.
During this period, he gradually broke the cognitive limitation that the elf world only existed in virtual imagination.
Whether it's Chansey, Pachirisu, or other Pokémon in the gym, in Lu Yuan's mind, they are no longer just two-dimensional images; they have become as close as family members.
"I see. Next question."
"Mr. Lu Yuan, during the competition, the moves you used caused people to lose their minds many times. Aren't you worried at all that some players will challenge you to an offline duel after the game?"
"Those are all tactics. Although they are a little dirty, they are what I should do as a gym leader."
"Oh?"
The female reporter's eyes lit up, as if she had finally caught the breaking point.
"So Mr. Lu Yuan is also a gym leader?"
"Yes, I am the gym leader of Wutong Town." Lu Yuan said this deliberately just for this moment.
"Then as a gym leader, why did you choose to participate in such a rookie competition?"
"Like you said just now, young people nowadays are always eager to duel offline. They are too impetuous and do not have the qualities that a trainer should have. I do this for their own good.
A truly powerful trainer is not only powerful in terms of the strength of his Pokémon, but also in terms of his mental quality." Lu Yuan said earnestly.
"lucky~" (The master is awesome~)
"Ji Pa!" (You farted!)
"What a responsible owner you are! Even your elf agrees with you. Well, let's end our interview here today. Friends in front of the TV, have you learned it?"
......
In Wutong Town, the old man made himself another cup of tea.
There’s nothing you can do about it, people just love drinking tea when they get old.
The sunshine today is still so nice.
Glancing once more at the latest edition of Sinnoh Daily on the table, the old man silently stood up and threw it into the trash can.
After watching it yesterday, I had nightmares all night. I'd better watch the news.
The old man picked up the remote control and turned on the TV.
The interview that had just been broadcasted was on TV.
Why is it the Little Phoenix King Cup again?
"Is the competition so popular?" the old man asked in surprise.
"Fuck you!"
Why is it this again!
When the contestant for interview came out, the old man started swearing.
Because the person on TV was none other than Lu Yuan.
"Then as a gym leader, why would you participate in a rookie competition like this?"
"To blast the fish pond, of course."
Lu Yuan said this when facing the interview from the female reporter.
Old man: “…”
Looking at Lu Yuan's sunny smile on TV, the old man silently turned it off.
孽 孽!
......
In the audience, Lu Ye's fans gradually left, and a pretty girl with a round hat, shoulder-length reddish-brown hair and a pretty face squeezed out.
Chapter 19 Red and Green
Azure, who was traveling in the Sinnoh region, walked out from the spectator seats. The sunlight shone on her, reflecting her agile figure and the thoughtful expression on her face.
After walking a few steps, Bilan arrived at a nearby cafe. The floor-to-ceiling windows of this cafe were just enough to see the gradually dispersing crowd.
Bilan found a seat by the window and sat down, taking a sip of the black coffee brought by the waiter.
"Pfft, that's bitter."
She couldn't help but stick out her tongue, reached out to take a few sugar cubes from the sugar jar next to her, put them in the cup and stirred them.
As the sugar cube melts, the bitterness of the coffee gradually fades away, replaced by a hint of sweetness.
Looking at the coffee in front of her that was no longer bitter, the corners of Bilan's mouth unconsciously rose up, revealing a satisfied smile.
At this moment, she couldn't help but recall the game just now.
"Although it's very show-like, I never thought that Chansey could be used in this way..." Azure murmured softly, recalling the scene in her mind where Chansey shrank down and used her flaming fist to beat up Gnat.
Thinking of this, Bilan picked up the phone on the table, found the familiar name in the contact list, and started a video call.
Following a few clear prompt sounds, the video was quickly connected.
In the picture, there is a handsome young man with straight brown hair and a pendant on his chest.
"Qinglu, why are you here!" Bilan shouted in dissatisfaction.
"I didn't call it wrong. Isn't this the red number?"
"Oh, Chihong, that guy went to take a shower." Qinglv on the other end of the video answered nonchalantly.
Bilan was petrified instantly, his pupils looked like they had experienced a magnitude 10 earthquake, and he couldn't even speak clearly.
“Take…take…take…a bath.”
Qinglu couldn't help but frowned, "My intuition tells me that you are thinking about something bad."
He zoomed out the camera on his phone and said, "Training, it's training. Chi Hong was training with me just now."
Through the camera, Azure could see the interior of the Tokiwa Gym. Several Pokémon were sitting quietly resting in the spacious venue.
Rhydon, Alakazam, Windy Dog, Snorlax, Frog...
These are red and green elves.
This adds some credibility to what Qinglu just said.
"By the way, what do you want with that guy Chi?" Qinglu suddenly said.
"Let me tell you, I saw a trainer with a very dirty tactic in the Little Phoenix Cup..."
It was as if Bilan had opened up her mouth and started talking nonstop.
"ha?"
Qinglu interrupted.
"You're really something, Xiaolan. Even though you can't beat me and Red, you're still a top-level trainer. You actually went to the Baby Cup to fry the fish pond. Isn't that too cheap of you?" Qinglu said speechlessly.
"Hey, it's just that I'm short of money recently... No, that's not the point." Azure quickly corrected, "The key is that Chansey and its trainer!"
Professor Oak said that Green's ability is "cultivation", which can maximize the qualifications and potential of the elves.
In addition, he has the strength to fight back and forth with the "Fighting Man", so he must know something.
It was the first time she had seen such a powerful and "dirty" Jigglypuff.
Qinglu's eyes were sharp, and the corners of his mouth were slightly raised, revealing an imperceptible smile. He said, "I have also trained Jigglypuff. The trainer named Lu Yuan is not bad."
Having been with Qinglu for so long, Bilan certainly understood what he meant.
While praising Lu Yuan, he also praised himself.
The meaning is roughly, "You are indeed very good, but you are still far behind me."
Then Qinglv continued to analyze: "If the super high tankiness of Jigglypuff is combined with poison and shrinkage, it can really be called a nightmare in the Rookie Cup."
"But it has a fatal weakness."
He changed the subject, looked at Azure and asked, "I remember that Xiba entrusted his elf offspring to you, right?"
"Yeah." Bilan nodded in affirmation.
"His tactics are indeed likely to win the Rookie Cup, but it is not good enough in the Masters Cup."
The weakness is too obvious and can be easily targeted.
In the Master Cup, a mistake made by a Pokémon may directly affect the entire game, which is why there is no Sejiri in the main team of Green.
"That's it..."
Although Bilan said this, there was always an indescribable feeling in her heart.
......
Kanto, Tokiwa Gym.
As soon as Qinglu hung up the call from Bilan, he turned around and met Chihong's expressionless face.
"Damn, when did you show up? Why are you walking without making any sound?" Qinglu was startled.
"Just arrived." Chihong responded lightly, and then the atmosphere fell into a brief silence.
After a while, Chi Hong asked, "Who called?"
