Chapter 410: A Polite and Swift Victory!
Chapter 410: A Polite and Swift Victory!
January 20th, the sky was clear without a cloud in sight.
At the Bellflower Tournament, the 32 contestants had been narrowed down to 16, and the venue was buzzing with excitement. Every seat was filled, and the crowd's enthusiasm was palpable.
Sharon sat in her seat, holding a chubby Gengar cake, taking small bites as she savored it.
"It's been a while since I've seen Big Sis eat ice cream," Ah Liu said, his cowlick standing straight up as if he had discovered a new continent.
Wusong, with his legs crossed, quoted Jinghe, "In winter, eat less ice cream and drink more hot water."
"But won't she gain weight if she eats too much cake?" Daye asked, his curiosity piqued. "If Big Sis gets..."
He puffed out his cheeks, imitating a chubby person, and in his mind's eye, he pictured Sharon gaining weight. Suddenly, a chill ran down his neck.
He stiffly turned his head.
Wusong and Ah Liu had already made their way to Dawu's side without Daye's knowledge, and Ah Liu even gave him a discreet thumbs-up.
On Daye's shoulder, a sickle emitting a chilling aura hovered just a few centimeters from his neck.
"
"Daye, are you always this brave?" Even Dawu couldn't help but lower his voice to ask.
A girl's age and weight were sensitive topics, so sensitive that even he hesitated to bring them up.
Wusong nodded, "It's fine. I'm used to it, and I won't die from it."
As he spoke, he looked through the large window at the battlefield below.
Amidst the roaring cheers, Jinghe and his opponent for the day, Louis, stepped into the arena.
Due to Louis' provocative actions yesterday, the audience's enthusiasm was especially high today.
Jinghe maintained his usual calm demeanor, smiling and waving at some familiar spectators.
Across from him, Louis exuded confidence, his posture brimming with assurance as he greeted the crowd.
"So confident, I love it!"
"That's the spirit! Take down Jinghe, and we'll make you a general!"
"Finally, someone dares to provoke Jinghe!"
The two took their positions.
Louis wore an outfit similar to Orochimaru's, his face painted, and he held an oil-paper umbrella, making him look like a combination of Jiraiya and Orochimaru to those unfamiliar with them.
Arrogantly, Louis pointed the umbrella at Jinghe and shouted confidently, "Today, we will absolutely defeat one of your Pokemon!"
The audience stumbled, nearly falling over in surprise.
No, they had indeed been waiting for Louis to make a bold statement, but this one was a bit too harsh, wasn't it?
Defeating just one of Jinghe's Pokemon?
But upon closer inspection...
It didn't seem like such a big deal after all.
During the tournament, Jinghe had indeed never rendered a Pokemon unable to battle, only replacing them.
Jinghe smiled and nodded.
"Good luck."
Seeing this, new fans were amazed at Jinghe's patience, while long-time fans were already mourning for Louis.
It wasn't Jinghe's stern face they feared, but his smiling one.
"Please summon your Pokemon, contestants," the referee instructed.
"Go!" Louis put away his umbrella, slung it over his shoulder, and threw a Poke Ball, from which a red light emerged. "Construction Old Master!"
Two heavy concrete pillars landed on the ground with a loud 'bang,' and the muscular Construction Old Master stood with a solemn gaze, his eyes focused.
Louis had researched Jinghe, and many 'experts' online had done the same.
They had come to a conclusion.
It seemed that Jinghe had a hidden 'obsession' with going from weak to strong, or rather, sending out Pokemon in the order he caught them.
In the previous match, he had sent out Charcoal Little Servant, who had never appeared in a battle before. So, this time, it was highly likely to be Bear Pupil, and the probability wasn't low.
Therefore, facing the Fighting-type Bear Pupil, Louis decided to use Construction Old Master in a direct confrontation, aiming for a battle of attrition! And under the gaze of the audience, Jinghe summoned his first Pokemon.
A gentle and kind-looking Pokemon with a bowed head and a soft smile emerged from its Poke Ball.
Ai Guan Shi! Sister!
"Ai Yi~()"
Ai Guan Shi Sister even politely bowed to the Construction Old Master and Louis, almost saying, "Welcome."
In an instant, the entire venue was stunned.
"Ai Guan Shi?!"
"So polite! Aww, so cute!"
"Isn't this the employee from Jinghe's cafe?!"
"Hiss—Sarcasm, blatant sarcasm! Not even sending out a main Pokemon, but directly using an employee instead!"
Employee?
Louis's expression froze.
Was he being looked down upon? Louis tightly gripped the umbrella handle.
How dare he!
But soon, he realized something.
If it was just an 'employee,' then didn't he have a real chance to defeat one of Jinghe's Pokemon?
Moreover, Ai Guan Shi was known for being a supportive Pokemon.
How could such a Pokemon be threatening?
The opportunity for fame had arrived!
Buzz—
As Ai Guan Shi appeared, a unique aura-filled force field formed around her, covering the entire battlefield.
Spirit Constructor's ability triggers, activating Spirit Ground!
"Battle begins!" The referee announces the official start of the battle.
"Construction Old Master, Arm Hammer!"
"Kacck!"
The Construction Old Master grabs two concrete pillars, each as thick as a man's arm, and charges towards Ai Guan Shi with heavy steps, exuding an intimidating aura.
Jinghe's smile remains unchanged, and he calmly commands:
"Ai Guan Shi, Wide Area Power."
"Ai Yi~"
A hint of excitement creeps into Ai Guan Shi's voice.
Finally, participating in the most official battle!
It's a little exciting to think about.
Buzz—
A powerful psychic power surges within Ai Guan Shi, almost covering the entire battlefield.
The Construction Old Master, charging forward, suddenly feels an intense sense of oppression, and the terrifying force nearly crushes its body instantly.
"Kacck!"
The Construction Old Master lets out a painful wail and slams heavily onto the ground.
For a moment, the entire venue falls silent.
The audience, including Louis, stares at the scene in astonishment.
"Repair, Construction Old Master, has lost its ability to battle!" the referee declares.
"Ai Yi~"
Ai Guan Shi politely bows again, her eyes filled with innocence.
I... didn't use that much force. How did it go down so easily? The audience, realizing what just happened, erupts into a wave of astonished exclamations.
"Instant defeat?! The Construction Old Master was instantly defeated?!"
"How can there be such a polite Pokemon?"
"A polite instant kill? That's really polite!"
At the same time, some audience members who have seen Ai Guan Shi's online battle videos finally react.
This Ai Guan Shi... is known as the "7th Battle Facility Guardian Pokemon of the Battle Frontier"!
However, psychic-type moves against fighting-type Pokemon are generally acceptable, especially with the support of Spirit Ground.
Louis takes a deep breath, realizing his earlier misjudgment.
So...
After recalling the Construction Old Master, he briefly ponders before sending out his second Pokemon.
"Go, Exploding Head Water Buffalo!"
The Pokemon that appears is shaped like a water buffalo, but its mane is so thick and wild that it resembles an exploding head.
Exploding Head Water Buffalo, a Head Hammer Buffalo Pokemon, is of the Normal-type. Its impact is said to be so powerful that it can easily derail trains.
"Hey, Daye, your cousin!" Wusong exclaims with delight.
Daye: "."
The Construction Old Master is weak to psychic-type moves, and its special defense isn't particularly outstanding.
However, the Exploding Head Water Buffalo can be said to have the most outstanding special defense among Louis's Pokemon, and it's not weak to psychic-type moves!
"Exploding Head Water Buffalo, Exploding Head Charge!"
[Exploding Head Charge: The user rams into the target with a powerful exploding head, but also receives a little damage.]
This is the Exploding Head Water Buffalo's signature move, with a power of 120 points!
"Moo!"
The Exploding Head Water Buffalo charges towards Ai Guan Shi, its exploding head emitting a red light, like the fire ignited by the intense friction of its high-speed charge.
This impact and aura surpass those of the previous Construction Old Master.
But Jinghe says:
"Ai Guan Shi, don't worry about your opponent. Once more, Wide Area Power!"
"Ai Yi~!"
Ai Guan Shi's expression immediately turns serious.
Since Jinghe said so, it means the opponent's strength is definitely not weak. It's time to show some real skills.
On the Spirit Ground, faint psychic threads swirl, and a powerful psychic force erupts from Ai Guan Shi, enhancing each other. The psychic power, like a towering mountain, presses down on the Exploding Head Water Buffalo.
In an instant—
Boom!!
The ground beneath the Exploding Head Water Buffalo collapses.
A smooth square imprint appears, centered on its position.
The Exploding Head Water Buffalo, after withstanding this powerful impact, collapses onto the field.
When Wide Area Power is used on the Spirit Ground, it not only gains a 50% boost from the move's inherent properties but also an additional 30% boost from the Spirit Ground.
Therefore, the original 80-point power of Wide Area Power, when calculated, reaches a whopping 156 at this moment!
Silence!
The entire venue falls silent once more.
The audience stares at the field in astonishment.
They react only after the referee announces again.
"Ssshh—!! Another instant defeat!"
"This Ai Guan Shi is so strong!"
"So... this is the consequence of provoking Teacher Jinghe? Smiling and laughing, politely defeating the opponent?"
Gulp—
Louis can't help but swallow his saliva.
He feels that this Ai Guan Shi isn't as fragile as it seems. Instead, he gets a sense of encountering a "Smiling Devil."
Smiling and laughing, it instantly defeats him? The key point is that after the defeat, it politely bows.
Is that a bow? That's clearly a "return gift" for his provocation yesterday!
Is it too late to apologize now?
