Chapter 22 Finals
"Hello, dear audience friends, you are now watching the final of the Little Phoenix Cup. I am the commentator Sato."
"I'm the commentator Xiao Du."
At this moment, the camera slowly swept across the final scene of the Little Phoenix Cup, and one could see that the audience had arrived at the audience seats early, waiting for the start of the final game.
As the camera turned, the final picture froze on the original two people.
These two commentators are a pair who are quite famous in the circle.
With his professional knowledge, humorous language style and deep insight into the game, he has won the love of many fans.
"After a whole week of intense competition, our competition finally reached its final climax today. To be honest, this competition really gave me too many unexpected surprises!" Sato said with emotion.
"Indeed." Xiao Du beside him echoed the same sentiment: "After all, who would have thought that the biggest dark horse of this competition would be a gym leader?"
Sato nodded and said, "That's right! When I first heard someone say that to me, I couldn't believe my ears. I was thinking, huh? A gym leader coming to participate in a rookie competition, how funny is that?
After careful investigation, it turned out to be true..."
"This situation actually happens occasionally. Some powerful bosses want to test the gap between themselves and the younger generation..."
Xiao Du continued, "But the information shows that this is Lu Yuan's first time participating in an official competition. Theoretically speaking, he is indeed a novice."
"Hey! There is such a rule. It's really rare to see a gym leader who has never participated in any official competitions. I can only say that our other player doesn't seem to have very good luck." Sato said.
(ps: Xiaolan forged her identity. Others only know that she is from Pallet Town, and everything else is blank.)
"But there are examples of pretending to be a pig and eating the tiger. Maybe our little blue player is hiding the boss, haha."
The two commentators felt a little embarrassed and had to make some jokes to ease the atmosphere.
This was the first time they had encountered such a situation. It was obvious that most of the audience came for Lu Yuan. According to common sense, everyone should hold a sign with Lu Yuan's name on it and shout his name loudly to cheer him on.
However, the truth is completely the opposite. All of those signs have Xiao Lan's name on them without exception!
Looking at the audience seats, it has been noisy from the beginning to now. Even at the commentary desk which is some distance away from the audience, the waves of noise can still be faintly heard.
Such words as, "Lu Yuan shall not die a good death!", "Lu Yuan is morally corrupt!", "Lu Yuan should be put into a pig cage!" etc. are unbearable to hear.
Of course, in this ocean of abuse and accusations, there are occasionally a few faint voices of praise.
But unfortunately, these few positive comments just popped up and were instantly swallowed up by the surging negative emotions around them, like a stone sinking into the ocean.
If the situation continues to develop in this way, I'm afraid it won't be long before the two groups start fighting.
Fortunately, before the situation got out of control, Lu Yuan and Xiao Lan finally appeared in everyone's sight and successfully entered.
Seeing them enter, the two commentators breathed a sigh of relief.
Sato adjusted his mentality and said, "Okay, dear audience friends, the competition has officially entered the countdown, and both players have arrived at the scene. So who will win the prize? Let's wait and see!"
......
Kanto, Pallet Town, in front of a residential building.
The girl with orange ponytail patted her slightly red cheeks and comforted her.
It's okay, it's okay, I just invited him to watch a movie, he shouldn't think too much about it...
Mustering up her courage, Tokiwa Clove carefully pressed the doorbell. After a moment, a slight electric sound came from the intercom at the door.
"It's Xiao Huang. The door is not locked. Come up to the second floor directly."
Go straight to the second floor! Isn't that... the red room?
Thinking of this, she felt her cheeks flushed red. She felt a little embarrassed, yet curious.
With a bit of nervousness and anticipation, Tokiwa Clove pushed open the door awkwardly.
Suddenly a yellow figure flew down from the second floor and threw himself into her arms.
"Pica, Pica~"
Tokiwa Clove subconsciously opened her arms.
"It's Pikachu, are you coming down to pick me up? Thank you."
Seeing that it was Pikachu, Tokiwa Clove smiled and gently stroked the Pikachu in her arms.
Going up to the second floor, a young man with short black hair and a determined look caught Pikachu and put it on his shoulder.
This person is Chihong.
Just as Tokiwa Clove was about to speak when she saw him, a familiar voice was heard in the room.
"Hey, it's Xiao Huang!"
Upon hearing this, Tokiwa Clove quickly stuck her head out and looked into the room. A handsome young man with straight brown hair was sitting on the bed.
"Qing...Qing...Qing...Qinglu, why is it you!" Changpan Dingxiang's cheeks flushed, and she stammered, pointing at the young man in the room, her heart full of surprise and disbelief.
"What do you mean 'Why is it me'? You don't even call me teacher." Qinglu raised his eyebrows in dissatisfaction.
"Um, did I come at the wrong time?" Tokiwa Clove seemed a little uneasy, fiddling with the corners of her clothes with her hands unconsciously, and muttered in a low voice.
Is it really as Senior Azulan said...
"No, you came at the right time." Chihong grabbed Xiaohuang's arm and took her to her room.
In the red room.
The room was tidy and clean, with various trophies displayed on the window. The furnishings were very simple, with a bed, a wooden table with a computer and a round clock on the wall.
As soon as Tokiwa Clove sat on the bed, Qinglu spoke.
"So, what do you want from me?"
Red turned on the computer on the table and said with a smile: "I saw a very interesting trainer yesterday."
Hearing this, Xiao Huang secretly breathed a sigh of relief. So that's what it was.
Green on the side became interested and came to the computer curiously. It was rare to find a trainer who could be praised by Red.
"Let me see it quickly."
Chihong stood up and gave his seat to Qinglu, then skillfully opened the live broadcast page. The screen showed the final of the Little Phoenix King Cup.
"Little Phoenix King Cup!" Qinglu screamed.
"Isn't this the baby cup that Xiaolan went to get?"
Tokiwa Clove also looked at the live broadcast screen curiously.
"Really? I saw Blue-senpai."
"So the trainer you find interesting is the one named Lu Yuan?" Qinglu said.
"Yes, his understanding of Jigglypuff's tactics is perfect!"
"Ah, I really want to have a battle with him, but unfortunately Xiaolan got there first." Red's eyes sparkled.
"In place..." Qinglu recalled Jigglypuff's moves and nodded.
"Yeah, it's definitely in place."
"However, I don't think it's possible for him to beat Blue. Blue's Flying Legs are the offspring of Shiba's main force, and are not comparable to ordinary Fighting-type Pokémon." Qinglu analyzed.
"The descendants of Xiba's main force..." Chihong said, "But I think Xiaolan might fall into Lu Yuan's hands this time."
"Oh? Wanna bet?"
Seeing Chihong's objection, Qinglu couldn't help but raise his eyebrows.
Once the rival shows some difference with himself, both sides will make a bet to decide the winner.
"Okay, what's the bet?"
Qinglu smiled slightly and took out a fire stone that was emitting a blazing light from his pocket.
"I happen to have a high-grade Fire Stone here. If you win, it's yours. But if you lose..." Qinglv paused deliberately, "You will have to wash my socks for a month!"
"Okay." Chihong agreed without hesitation. Since he decided to gamble, he had no intention of losing.
After confirming the bet, both of them turned their attention to the live broadcast.
Chapter 23: Not a Human Being
Lu Yuan stood in front of Xiao Lan, and the two shook hands in a friendly manner before the game.
Xiao Lan leaned closer and lowered her voice: "I have a lot of high-tech products here. If you want them, I can give you a 99% discount. How about that?"
Lu Yuan: “…”
The competition is almost about to start, and you still don’t forget to promote your products here.
However, from a business perspective, Xiaolan is undoubtedly qualified.
Lu Yuan teased: "If you lose to me, I might consider it."
"That won't work." Xiao Lan put away her playful look and said seriously.
"Oh, I see." Lu Yuan smiled calmly.
Then Blue blinked and added, "Unless... you raise the price."
Of course Lu Yuan knew that this was just a joke. From the look in Xiaolan's eyes just now, it could be seen that she was not a trainer who would give up her dignity for money.
In this case, I have to fight seriously.
Seeing Lu Yuan walking away, Xiao Lan hurriedly called out to him: "Hey, wait, we really don't want to discuss this anymore..."
Unfortunately, the noise from the audience completely drowned out Xiao Lan's shouts. Lu Yuan was only focused on walking forward, and didn't hear what Xiao Lan said behind him.
Xiao Lan was very disappointed and lost another business.
In this case, I can only put my hope on the prize, a shopping card with a value of 18 yuan, which I can then sell for yuan.
Xiaolan doesn't think she will lose.
In fact, from the time she started traveling until now, except for the two in Pallet Town, she can be said to have never lost a game.
Although he did not use his own main force this time, they were the descendants of the main elves of King Silva, so there is no need to say much about their strength.
"Go ahead, Flying Legs Man."
"Go ahead, Jigglypuff."
The elves of both sides appear at the same time.
As the referee blew the whistle, Xiao Lan decisively launched an attack.
"Flying knee kick, flying knee kick!"
"Oh, Xiaolan launched a fierce attack as soon as he came up!" Commentator Sato explained to the audience in a timely manner.
"Flying Knee is a powerful fighting move, and Chansey is a Normal-type Pokémon. If it gets hit, it will be crippled."
"However, if the flying knee strike misses the target or is blocked, the attacker will suffer great damage from the recoil. So, although this move is powerful, the risk is also extremely high," added commentator Xiaodu.
At this time, someone who knows a lot in the audience complained, "Oh, this little blue player doesn't know how to play. He uses a skill with a low hit rate at the beginning. If he misses, he's doomed!"
"Did you teach her?" Chihong turned to look at Qinglu beside him.
"Of course, to deal with a cancer like Jigglypuff, the best way is to launch a fierce attack. Only by constantly exerting pressure can we disrupt his rhythm and find opportunities to win." Qinglu replied calmly.
On the field, after Xiao Lan gave the order, he could clearly feel that Feituilang's temperament had changed, and the faint aura around him could not be concealed.
It jumped high, like a cannonball fired from a gun, and attacked the Jigglypuff with tremendous force.
"Jelly Egg, shrink quickly!" Lu Yuan shouted.
Judging from the momentum displayed by this flying knee kick, this flying knee kick is most likely a self-sacrificing move.
[Sacrifice: When using a move with reaction force, the power increases by 20%]
The ultimate move of the Fighting type, plus the 120 physical attack of the Flying Leg Lang, plus the extra bonus brought by the self-sacrifice characteristic, is simply a nuclear bomb-level output.
It can be imagined that Xiaolan’s previous matches were probably all won instantly.
