Collapse? No, this is just everyday life.

"Okay, thank you, Auntie!"

"What about me?"

Seeing this, Kiana quickly said.

"I'd be grateful if you didn't bully others."

He glanced away and made a sarcastic remark, which immediately made Kiana puff out her cheeks in anger.

After watching the family's little farce for a while, Nangong Yu stepped forward and said to Theresa, "Headmistress, the opening ceremony went smoothly. Has the Gensokyo Park been confirmed to be alright?"

When they got down to business, Kiana and Sirin immediately shut up, their obedient demeanor surprising Theresa.

However, she didn't think much of it and instead rested her chin on her hand and said thoughtfully, "The final facilities were completed last week, and we are currently arranging for people to conduct the third round of testing overnight. So far, no safety hazards have been found."

"That's good. I should start preparing for my new game launch event now."

Yu-Gi-Oh! has been completed and has gone through two rounds of closed beta testing. It's time to launch it, and we can take advantage of the remaining hype from the Pokémon World Championships.

Theresa asked, "Should we proceed as planned and hold it at Gensokyo Land?"

"Okay, I'll send you a list of media reporters who have good relations with Gensokyo in a couple of days. Remember to have your staff send them a few tickets for the day's Gensokyo amusement park. The press conference will be held in the evening, so we can use them to give Gensokyo amusement park some free publicity during the day."

That's what they say, but for journalists with good relationships, this is definitely a perk. They can have fun and catch up on trending topics. The first day was entirely by invitation only. If you didn't receive an invitation, you wouldn't get any first-hand information on the hot topics. Forget about getting them to help promote for free, many people would be happy to pay them.

"Well, I see."

These were all minor matters, and Theresa nodded to let them pass.

The Pokémon World Championships last for a week, and the amusement park will open for the first time the day after the finals. This is what she cares about most, rather than the competition itself.

"It's getting late, let's go back and rest."

"Well, I still have some finishing work to take care of. You guys can go back now."

"Do you need any help?" Kiana asked, raising her hand.

"I don't need you. It'll be over in a few minutes. You should go back and spend some time with Xilin."

"Yes, I'm planning to stay with Celine tonight!"

Sirin: "?"

On the way back, Kiana greeted Nangong Yu and then pulled Sirin along like a wild horse, hurrying home. Seeing Sirin's eyes welling up with tears again, she must have been very moved.

Nangong Yu and Ai Li walked slowly behind, hand in hand, enjoying the tranquility of the night.

The tourists had all left, and the Pokémon lights had been turned off, leaving only rows of warm-colored streetlights.

"Ayu, after the game launch event is over, can you finally take a vacation?"

Playfully stepping on Ah Yu's shadow, Ai Li asked with a smile.

"Well, if there are no problems with Yu-Gi-Oh!, I can consider the period before New Year's Day as my vacation."

After saying that, he paused and added, "However, it might require writing a script for a visual novel, but it won't take too long."

Upon hearing this, Ellie's eyes flickered. She moved closer to Nangong Yu and gently tugged at the hem of his clothes.

"Well, I want to go for a walk. Can Ayu come with me?"

Nangong Yu was about to nod when she heard her continue, "Just the two of us."

"..."

Gazing at the expectation in Ellie's eyes, she couldn't bring herself to say no.

After hesitating for a moment, when he noticed that the light in Ellie's eyes was getting dimmer, he simply gritted his teeth and nodded vigorously: "Okay."

"Great!!!"

Overjoyed, she pounced on him, wrapping her arms around Nangong Yu's neck.

He quickly grabbed Ellie's plump thighs, feeling the soft, elastic texture of his fingers sinking into them, and pulled her firmly to prevent her from falling.

Her soft fingertips gently poked his face. Ai Li nestled against his shoulder, her cheek pressed against his: "You're so cute, Ayu, you don't even get angry when you reject me~"

Yes, he took that statement seriously.

"I don't want to disappoint Ellie, and besides, I haven't spent much time with Ellie in the past six months, so it's time to spend more time by your side."

"Hmm~"

As for spending time alone with Ellie, how will Bronya and the others quell their anger...?

Let's leave the problems of the future to our future selves...

Chapter 219 The Match Ends!

"Ah, Charizard is down. Now, all six of Ash's Pokémon are gone..."

Xiao Zhi, the guy who beat Sirin before, is nicknamed Xiao Zhi because he always wears a red hat and cosplays as Ash during matches.

As the regional champion, his strength can be said to be among the top tier of all the contestants. He won all the way to the finals without any major incidents, but finally found himself in a desperate situation.

Charizard collapsed from exhaustion, while Blastoise, though also on the verge of death, was still able to stand up.

Just then, he pulled out the original Poké Ball.

The commentator's voice rang out at the opportune moment: "So, is this the curse that prevents Ash from winning the championship?! No! Wait, the program has determined that Ash hasn't lost yet!! The Pikachu he recalled is still awake and hasn't collapsed!!!"

"However, both Pokémon are in extremely dangerous condition, and the final outcome will hinge on this lightning-fast turn of events!!"

The commentator's voice suddenly became excited, and a battered Pikachu emerged from the Poké Ball, looking warily at the other side, its whole body exuding an air of defiance.

"Go, Pikachu!!"

He shouted.

“Pika Pika!!”

Responding loudly to its companion, Pikachu's four short legs suddenly exerted force, transforming into a golden lightning bolt.

"Pikachu, use Tackle!"

"Turtle, let's use ramming too!"

The golden lightning bolt and the sturdy Blastoise standing firmly in place collided violently, producing a loud bang, and both Pokémon were pushed back slightly at the same time.

Pikachu shook its head and charged again.

"Iron Tail!"

"Rockfall!"

The surging rocks overturned Pikachu's body, sending it flying. At that moment, Ash shouted, "Now! Use Thunderbolt!"

The trainer opposite Blastoise's eyes narrowed. He knew that Blastoise was in no condition to withstand this attack, and quickly shouted, "Blastoise, Protect!!"

"Click!!!"

With a shout, Blastoise assumed a defensive stance, while Pikachu in mid-air adopted a Thunderbolt attack stance, with wisps of electricity emanating from its cheeks.

Just then, Pikachu's short legs stepped on a rock that had been thrown up by Blastoise's rockfall, and its figure disappeared instantly.

Oh no! It was just a flash of lightning; the 100,000 volts was a feint!

The trainer of the Water Blastoise hurriedly tried to say something, but couldn't understand it no matter what he did.

Almost in the blink of an eye, Pikachu appeared on Blastoise's back, and Blastoise, which was in a defensive stance, had no time to react.

"Pikachu!!!"

Five blinding bolts of electricity erupted from Pikachu's body, and the point-blank electric shock caused Blastoise to let out a scream.

The golden light lingered in the center of the arena for a long time. After an unknown period of time, the audience, who had been holding their breath, stared intently at the center of the opposite platform.

Boom!

Blastoise's massive body collapsed limply, billowing black smoke, its eyes darting around.

On his body, a yellow rat trembled slightly, but still stood there proudly, enjoying the attention that belonged to the victor.

"Whoa!!!!"

The audience erupted in cheers, and the system delivered its verdict at that moment.

The commentator, gripping the microphone, shouted hoarsely, "Blastoise is down! Pikachu has stood firm!! Congratulations to Ash for winning this competition!!!"

boom! !

Golden ribbons rained down, the losers left dejectedly, leaving the victor standing in the center of the stage, receiving praise and cheers from the crowd.

"This guy actually won, Sirin. Losing to the champion isn't a bad deal."

Sitting in the audience, Kiana remarked with emotion.

"You're still bringing it up?!"

Sirin gave Kiana a disgruntled look and huffed.

However, this person winning the championship did improve Celine's mood considerably. Everyone else lost, so it wouldn't make a difference if she won too.

A week has passed, and the tournament is finally coming to an end.

These past few days have been like Chinese New Year for Pokémon players, with Pokémon-related topics dominating the trending searches every day. Today's finals were even more outrageous; since the results were announced, Pokémon has taken over all ten of the top trending topics.

#Pokémon World Championships Champion Revealed!!

#Ash finally won!

#Pikachu!!

#......

Soon, Nangong Yu and Aili went up on stage and came to his side.

Congratulations on winning the championship.

Seeing Xiao Zhi trembling all over, Nangong Yu smiled and said, "I can tell you're very excited right now. Is there anything you want to say to everyone?"

"I......"

He held the microphone to his mouth, but after saying just one word, it felt like something was stuck in his throat, and he couldn't finish the sentence.

"Sorry, I lost control of my emotions."
