Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

In the blink of an eye, the Pokémon Tournament is about to begin!

Chapter 214 Airi: I know Ah Yu's weaknesses perfectly well~

October, the end of autumn and the beginning of winter.

Wrapped in the chill, the teachers and students of St. Freya put on thick coats early on, and spent much less time lingering by the garden. The once bustling campus was now drizzling, and the figures were much sparser. Only the shadows reflected under the bright lights could prove that people were still there.

Barring unforeseen circumstances, the current bleak scene may persist until the snow arrives.

Only a world draped in silver and white can inspire the teachers and students huddled in their dormitories and classrooms to muster the strength to take their first steps.

However, this late autumn is a little different.

By the end of September, there was a subtle commotion on campus. People from all walks of life frequently entered the school, and students could see the gymnasium, which had been covered by railings months earlier, on their way to class every day.

Pokémon World Championships.

Among the 100 regional champions and Elite Four members, the eight strongest players are selected as the first-generation Eight Masters. Moreover, this honor will be engraved in the official Hall of Fame. For Pokémon players, this is undoubtedly the grandest event ever.

As one of the most popular games on the market today, it established numerous game clubs in its early stages, and its extended industries have reached all aspects of society, affecting the livelihoods of countless people.

The regional champions are different from the regional champions. Taking into account various attributes, the regions are divided by Pokémon officials based on the area and population density of each region, in order to select the 100 strongest players in the world. For this World Championship, they can be said to be eager to win.

As the temperature gradually dropped, the entire campus indeed became increasingly hot.

As the days went by, teachers and students could clearly feel the changes throughout the campus. There were more Pokémon decorations in the gardens, Pokémon standees were hung in the shops, and banners about the Pokémon World Championships were everywhere.

To provide a better experience for the audience, the entire stadium was expanded again, this time to accommodate 100,000 people at the same time. The venue, which has been expanded several times, can also host ten games at the same time. The branch stadium was abandoned, and all games were played at the home stadium.

At first, Theresa, who was heartbroken by all the construction work, thought about collecting ticket revenue, but she quickly gave up the idea after the Gensokyo amusement park project was proposed.

Tickets are nothing; it's better to promote Gensokyo Land through the Pokémon World Championships.

So, aside from the internal tickets she reserved for the teachers and students of St. Freya out of personal reasons, Theresa gave away almost all the tickets in various forms, refusing to give them to anyone. Some were given to celebrities and internet influencers with good reputations whom she carefully selected, but the majority ended up in the hands of lucky Pokémon players.

Unable to capitalize on this massive influx of traffic, some celebrities and online influencers who weren't invited were naturally dissatisfied. Relying on their large fan base, they tried to get Theresa to send them some tickets, but she simply ignored them. As a result, St. Freya's official website was bombarded by a large number of celebrity fans.

As a result, after several people issued statements of "voluntary withdrawal from the internet," no one dared to say another word.

Giegie's reputation is important, but Giegie's life is even more important!

When Nangong Yu first saw this news, he sighed and shook his head repeatedly, inciting fans to scold the granddaughter of the Archbishop of Destiny. How many dishes did she have to drink to this extent?

He even doubted whether those celebrities and internet influencers were brainless. They could easily find out Theresa's identity with a little research. How could they dare to do that?

Many of them came to criticize Gensokyo, but after this incident, they all fell silent and dared not utter a sound.

The public has long suffered from the antics of fandoms, and this move has directly ignited public opinion online. St. Freya practically has the words "don't mess with her" printed on her face, further boosting the popularity of the Pokémon Championships to a level that is almost approaching the attention level of the Olympics.

Theresa really gave it her all for this Gensokyo tournament.

Looking at those clueless and foolish college students on campus, a flame ignited in her eyes.

Whether it's decades of economic freedom or continuing to play the victim and whine to amass gold coins, we'll see what happens next!

And so, under the watchful eyes of everyone, the day of the Pokémon Tournament arrived.

......

After several days of continuous rain, the weather finally cleared up the day before the opening ceremony. Now, you can still smell the faint moisture on the road, with water droplets falling from the green leaves, and the air is fresh and pleasant.

Such beautiful weather naturally lifted Theresa's spirits, which had been quite disheartening due to the incessant rain, reminding her of the coincidental typhoon last year.

Although the stadium has been equipped with various protective measures, it is simply impossible to carry out such a disaster under natural conditions; there is no other way.

However, it seems that God has eyes, and her long-term efforts have not been in vain.

Early that morning, Nangong Yu was woken up by a barrage of urgent phone calls.

He lifted his head from the sweet, soft chest. The curtains covered the window, and the room was still somewhat dim. He squinted and groped around on the bed. His nose was once again drawn to the soft, sweet sensation in front of him, and he buried his head in it again to rub against it.

"Where's my phone?"

He murmured softly, his lips brushing against a slightly protruding spot, as if pressing a switch, and a soft moan immediately rang out from above his head.

A gentle arm cradled the back of his head, and with a light touch, pressed him into that cotton candy-like world.

"Hmph~"

A pleasant voice rang out, and a hard object was placed next to his ear—his still-vibrating cell phone.

He looked up, his pink hair flowing over his delicate arms. Alishia, who had already woken up, looked at him with gentle, watery eyes.

Yesterday, under the pretext of rehearsing lines as fellow hosts, Ellie pulled Nangong Yu into her room in front of Bronya and the others, and now she's put on another good show with the 'Moonlight Script'.

I didn't remember many of the lines; I was only thinking about breastfeeding... oh no, I was only thinking about the grand discussion of the origins of life.

"crooked?"

With her eyes covered, Nangong Yu suddenly felt sleepy again. She rubbed herself against the cotton candy and mumbled incoherently.

The warm breath touched her skin so closely that Ellie's arms tightened even more.

"Are you up yet?"

An excited voice came from the phone. Nangong Yu was too lazy to move. He hugged Ai Li's slightly chubby waist and said in a coquettish voice, "What time is it? Why are you up so early?"

"What time is it? It's already past seven! How can you sleep?! Get up now!!"

"It's only a little past seven, what's the rush..."

"You're the host of the opening ceremony! There's a rehearsal this morning!!"

"Isn't it supposed to start at nine? Let me take a little more nap~"

Recognizing that it was Theresa's voice on the other end, Nangong Yu continued lazily.

"You, you, you! You have to be there by nine o'clock, understand?! Otherwise I'll... I'll..."

"What's wrong with you?"

"I, I, I'll talk badly about you to Yuexia!!"

After saying that, Theresa angrily hung up the phone.

She was now standing at the entrance of the stadium, watching the staff rushing back and forth. Thinking about how she hadn't slept all night due to nervousness, she gritted her teeth in anger.

If anything goes wrong with the opening ceremony, she'll definitely tell Yuexia bad things about that bastard, she swears!!

Returning to the room, after hanging up the phone, Nangong Yu tossed aside her phone and lazily yawned.

"Want to get up?"

Ellie's voice rang out again, but her gentle tone made him even less inclined to move.

Unable to resist, he nuzzled her a little longer and said lazily, "Let me hug Sister Aili for a little longer, just five minutes."

"There's really nothing I can do about you~"

The embrace became even gentler, and Ellie happily squinted her eyes.

She liked how Ayu depended on her and acted coquettishly towards her, just like her little brother from before, so cute that she wanted to eat him up.

Unfortunately, I ate enough last night, so just hugging him now makes me feel quite content.

She looked down at Ayu for a while and noticed that his lips moved slightly. Then, her body trembled and her face turned slightly red.

The hand holding his head tightened its grip, making Ah Yu more comfortable, while the outstretched hand gently pinched his face.

"You little rascal!"

She whispered a teasing remark in his ear, then lightly kissed his earlobe with her red lips. After the kiss, she opened her lips and gave it a small bite, her tongue tracing the outline of his ear, which made Nangong Yu freeze.

"Whoo~"

2 As soon as Ai Li raised her head, Nangong Yu broke free from her embrace and sat up, her bright eyes wide open, showing no trace of the sleepy look she had just had.

9. "Are you up?"

"If I don't get up now, I'll really be late."

Lin arched her body into a shrimp shape, her voice strained as she looked at her helplessly.

4. "Pfft~ Hahaha~"

3. The ample underfloor heating insulated the room from the damp cold outside. The thin blankets had been rolled up to some corner of the bed. Ai Li was amused by A Yu's appearance and trembled with laughter. When Nangong Yu saw that white, trembling figure, he bent his back even more.

5. "Stop laughing, I'm going to wash up first."

(6) He said something somewhat dejectedly, which made Ellie laugh even louder.

(4) Ignoring the alluring pink fairy, Nangong Yu was about to get up when she suddenly felt the bed behind her sink a little.

Then, a warm body hugged him from behind and pressed him back onto the bed.

Nangong Yu was stunned by the fall, and as soon as she regained her focus, she met Ai Li's condescending and pleased gaze.

She placed her hands on either side of his ears, looking at him with seductive eyes.

"Since the problem was caused by Ellie-neechan, then of course it needs to be solved by Ellie-neechan!"

"...We're going to be late..."

"Hehe, don't worry."

Ellie licked her rosy lips smugly and winked at him: "I know Ayu's weaknesses perfectly well, come on, Ayu, relax and leave everything to me~"

......

Ai Li wasn't exaggerating; she really knew Nangong Yu's weaknesses quite well. In less than ten minutes, the two of them left the room and hurriedly went to the bathroom.

Seele had already prepared breakfast, and when they went downstairs, they saw the steaming food on the table.

Completely ignoring Bronya's somewhat displeased look, Ellie happily moved closer, hugging and nuzzling against her, making Bronya blush and push her away before finally giving up.

"Brother, Sister Aili, do your best as the host today!"

As soon as Seele took off her apron, she saw them and immediately smiled and offered encouragement.

"Don't worry, I'll guide Ayu well~"

Ellie confidently and happily made her promise, and Nangong Yu responded with a smile: "I'll try my best, otherwise Theresa will probably strangle me if I mess it up."

"Auntie seems to be taking this competition quite seriously~"
