Chapter 143 Invitation to the Exhibition Match (55, please vote with monthly tickets~)

after dinner.

The Pokémon in the gym were all very curious about the little creature that had suddenly appeared there.

"Buy~"

By gently placing the chubby little pads on the small protrusion on top of the dragon egg, Eevee could clearly feel the impact from inside the eggshell.

The little guy inside is really strong! I didn't know it took so much effort to hatch from the egg.
Although Pokémon are theoretically creatures that hatch from eggs, Eevee has absolutely no memory of this.

Of course, if it really existed, that would be even more absurd...

"Luca!"

Lucario and Riolu exchanged a glance and nodded to each other.

Through the waveguides transmitted from the eggshell, they could clearly sense the vigorous vitality emanating from this little creature.

Once hatched, it will definitely be a powerful Pokémon full of energy and potential.

"You all need to be careful. The baby dragon must hatch on its own, as it has a huge impact on its future."

Seeing that her and Cynthia's Pokémon were all gathered around the Bangelon egg, Qingyu, who was washing dishes in the kitchen, smiled and reminded them.

The principle behind egg-laying Pokémon is probably similar to that of birds in their previous lives. If they are not allowed to use their own strength to break out of their shells, their physical abilities will be far inferior to other Pokémon of the same age from a young age.

Qingyu would never do something like forcing growth.

"Gah..."

The only one far away from it, Millardon, responded from outside the door.

As for what it actually means, Qingyu has no idea.

"Speaking of which, Miss Ye Ci just invited me to perform at the opening ceremony of the Masters tournament three days from now."

Zhu Lan, who was sitting on the sofa playing on her phone, suddenly turned around and looked at Qing Yu in the kitchen.

"The opening performance?"

After reading it aloud once, Qingyu quickly fell into memories.

It seems that in the anime, major sporting events often have an exhibition match before the main event, mainly to generate excitement.

For example, before the Hinoki Tournament in the Unova region, the Unova League invited Cynthia and Cattleya as guests for the exhibition match.

As for the Masters Tournament, all the Dragon-type Masters have gathered together, so it seems reasonable to invite a few who didn't have a match on the first day to start the tournament and warm things up.

"Sure, I'll come cheer you on then."

"However, according to Miss Yeci, it seems that only Mr. Awa, Mr. Genji, and I are not competing on the first day."

Zhu Lan's voice came again soon after.

"But this time, the Padiya League seems to want to warm up the atmosphere with a doubles tournament, so they asked me if I had any friends in Padiya that I could contact."

As soon as she finished speaking, Qingyu paused in washing her hands and subconsciously turned to look outside.

Zhu Lan's eyes narrowed into slits as she silently watched him with a smile.

"I have a feeling that Miss Ye Ci is hinting that I should invite you?"

Since the exhibition match is tentatively scheduled as a doubles match, it is quite difficult to have only three days to get the players together. Therefore, they can only try to find familiar people as teammates.

And the people he knows in Padiya...

That leaves only Qingyu.

As for Carlos, the Dragon-type Elite Four member from the same town of God and Harmony, she is not considered by Cynthia because of the significant age difference.

Theoretically, she only has two choices right now.

First, he called his best friend Cattleya and asked her to come to Padiya;

Secondly, they asked Qingyu, who was nearby, to temporarily act as their teammate.

I'm so torn about which one to choose!
"Want me to be your teammate?"

Qingyu was stunned for a moment, then immediately shook her head repeatedly.

"Spare me! You master-level monsters are fighting, how dare I, with only a baby in my team, say anything?" Besides the Bellatrix still struggling in its egg, all that's left in her team are her Eevee and Riolu, which haven't evolved yet.

As for Millerton?
That's not called Pokémon, that's called a vehicle!
Let me take on the two veteran Dragon-type Heavenly Kings, Awa and Genji?

Do not make jokes!
Even if it's an exhibition match, it seems a bit ridiculous that both sides are just going through the motions...

"It seems so."

After Qingyu said that, Zhulan quickly realized what was going on.

Although Qingyu has shown tremendous potential, being a trainer is a profession that requires time to grow.

Because Pokémon can't suddenly become many times stronger overnight; they can only improve steadily, little by little.

Therefore, Aoba, who had just taken over the gym and started as a trainer from scratch, was indeed far behind in this area.

"However, it's not like there aren't other options."

Zhu Lan quickly came up with another idea and looked at Qing Yu again.

"Perhaps I can help you borrow a Pokémon from Gadria. Most of the Pokémon in her Battle Castle are quite strong."

"A rental battle?"

Qingyu quickly realized what was happening.

Loan vs. match.

As the name suggests, it involves using rented Pokémon to battle.

It is a battle mode popular in various unofficial facilities such as battle towers and battle frontiers.

As one of the leaders of the Battle Frontier, Cynthia's best friend Cattleya needs to prepare many different kinds of Pokémon to meet the challenges of different guests.

Therefore, her Pokémon collection is terrifying.

"It doesn't seem impossible?"

As long as you can handle the rented Pokémon, there shouldn't be any problems.

Qingyu was even a little tempted by what she heard.

After all, it was a chance to compete on the same stage with these three top experts; he had never experienced such a high-level real-world match before.

However, there is another problem at present—

"But given the mutual dislike between me and Cattleya, it's unlikely she'd lend it to me..."

Recalling that brat who was all sweet talk to Zhu Lan but always had a stern face towards her, as if she owed her money, Qingyu immediately dismissed the thought.

Do I have to go to Cattleya myself to borrow a Pokémon?

Even if I'm tied up and taken back to Sinnoh, I don't want to!

After hearing Qingyu's words, Zhulan couldn't help but smile.

"It's okay, I won't tell her it's for you."

The relationship between these two is really interesting. Why are they so resistant to each other?
"If I were to borrow it, there shouldn't be any problem."

"That's no problem."

Qingyu nodded decisively.

Judging from the performance of Cattleya, the No. 1 Bamboo Fermented Bean Curd, she has absolutely no chance of failing as long as she is willing to speak.

And when she finds out about this, her expression will probably be quite interesting, right?
For some reason, Qingyu suddenly felt a sense of anticipation.

"Then, we need to decide which Pokémon to borrow first."

Do you know what Pokémon Elite Four member Genji and Mr. Lance use?

Qingyu turned her head and asked Zhulan.

Zhu Lan tilted her head, and after a moment's thought, quickly gave her an answer:
"It looks like... Salamence and Tyranitar?"
