Pokémon: Starting with a strongman and a slacker

"But we can only look on; we shouldn't even think about people of their caliber!"

"Instead of discussing their charm, we should discuss their abilities!"

"Do you think they've reached the Heavenly King realm yet?"

"The Heavenly King is not so easy to enter. However, it is possible for one or two elves to achieve this."

"That's right. The battle between Bai Jing and Lü Shuai this morning, especially the attack power of Slaking and Aggron, was definitely more than just that of a Quasi-Elite Four member!"

"Tsk tsk tsk... Let's forget about Commander Lü. He's a senior in college, and while it's impressive that he's reached this level in seven years, it's still within acceptable limits!"

"Bai Jing is terrifying. I heard he came from an ordinary background and didn't train any Pokémon beforehand. He only got Slaking when he graduated from high school. How long has it been?"

"Seven months? Six months? Eight months? He's already reached the Heavenly King level? That's a tenfold difference, isn't that astonishing?"

"Genius is not enough to describe his excellence; he can only be praised as a prodigy!"

"Yes, this monster is going too far, this monster is completely unreasonable!"

"Isn't that obvious? If someone wasn't exceptionally talented, how could they have gotten first place among the freshmen and then made it to the finals among the upperclassmen?"

"This kind of talent is something we could never catch up to, no matter how hard we try!"

"I'm afraid that after graduating from university, they'll be able to challenge the world champion directly and win!"

"How scary!"

Well, what was supposed to be a competition between two beautiful women has gone off-topic in the audience's discussion.

Bai Jing, sitting in the audience, felt very uncomfortable because everyone was staring at him as if he were a monster.

Being stared at by tens of thousands of people, wouldn't you feel uneasy?

Chapter 177 Am I a pervert too?

"Please welcome contestants Long Shaoyun and Zhuge Chaoyue to the stage!"

Amidst the intense anticipation of the crowd, the two beautiful women walked in, greeted by deafening cheers!

Of course, there were also whistles, but they were quickly cut off, and it is said that their lips were beaten into two sausages.

Teasing our goddess? Isn't that just asking for trouble?

The noise did not affect the two women at all; their eyes met and they immediately became locked in a fierce battle of wits.

However, the thought of what had just happened with someone, and that he was going on a date that night, made Long Shaoyun feel a little uneasy, especially since the person opposite him was his mortal enemy, the Empress.

I felt a sense of guilt, but also a sense of excitement!

If she finds out, will she go crazy?

There was a hint of anticipation in Long Shaoyun's eyes!

No, I am a virtuous woman, I cannot have such filthy thoughts.

Zhuge Chaoyue noticed Long Shaoyun's absent-mindedness and changes in expression, and couldn't help but feel puzzled.

What's wrong with this woman all of a sudden? Why are her expressions so varied?

"What are you thinking, you old fogey? The competition is about to start and you're indulging in romantic fantasies at age 25. Can't you show me some respect?"

"Huh? Springtime thoughts?"

Long Shaoyun was startled. "No, no, I absolutely didn't!"

And then, like an idiot, he looked in the direction where Bai Jing was.

Well, even the Queen, who was just joking, realized something was wrong and her face immediately darkened!

Why do you look like you're trying to cover something up? What exactly did you do?

"Tell me, did you seduce my man?"

"No, no, absolutely not!"

Long Shaoyun was so anxious he was almost in tears!

Bai Jing slapped his forehead. Is this woman an idiot? Isn't this just like trying to hide something obvious?

Three question marks appeared above the heads of the audience.

What kind of start is this? Stealing a man? What's going on here?

Zhuge Chaoyue stared intently at Long Shaoyun, "You're dead. I will definitely kill you!"

Long Shaoyun thought for a moment, "Why should I be afraid of her? So what if she really steals my man? We're competitors anyway!"

That's right, that's it!

So Long Shaoyun reverted to his powerful demeanor, "Hmph, I'll play along to whatever you want!"

But then Bai Jing shouted, "Go, little darling! Defeat the female tyrant!"

This made Long Shaoyun's eyes look incredibly resentful.

"Ahem~ Please send out your Pokémon!"

Long Shaoyun sent out a three-headed evil dragon, while Zhuge Chaoyue sent out a Hu (barbarian) dragon.

Both Pokémon are at the peak of the near-Elite Four level.

A fierce battle has begun!

Zhuge Chaoyue issued commands using telepathy without uttering a single word, which was quite eerie.

Long Shaoyun also possessed telepathy, but she didn't use it; instead, she directly shouted out commands.

In her words, fighting should be fair and square; being cunning and sinister is the style of a deadpan character, which I disdain.

She only uses telepathy when there's no time to give a command.

After a fierce clash, Hudi narrowly lost to the three-headed dragon. However, the three-headed dragon was also in bad shape and was nearing its limit, so it was also taken back by Long Shaoyun.

The second Pokémon they sent out were Salamence and Metagross, both of which were at the peak of the Elite Four level.

The result of this match was that Metagross defeated Salamence, winning back a point.

Afterwards, Long Shaoyun sent out the three-headed dragon with low health, which fought a fierce battle with the equally low-health Metagross monster, resulting in both of them being eliminated.

At this point, both sides had only one Pokémon left, and the battle reached its climax.

Long Shaoyun sent out Dragonite, while Zhuge Chaoyue sent out Gardevoir.

Both of these Pokémon are Elite Four level, with Dragonite at mid-stage and Gardevoir at early stage.

The difference becomes apparent here, after all, Long Shaoyun had an extra year of training time.

Furthermore, Dragonite can learn the legendary move Extreme Speed, so Gardevoir's Teleport is not an advantage against it.

That wasn't all. They sent out their last Pokémon, their ace Pokémon, and both of them began to go all out.

First, they both underwent super evolution, and then they infused their own power into each other.

With the boost from Zhuge Chaoyue's psychic powers, Gardevoir's strength soared to the peak of the Elite Four.

With the blessing of Long Shaoyun's dragon-taming power, Dragonite's strength also reached the peak of the Elite Four.

Although there is still a gap, they have all entered the same level.

This is the source of Zhuge Chaoyue's confidence, because the difference between the two is negligible.

Bai Jing guessed that both of their abilities were probably at the late Elite Four level. The reason they were at their peak after being empowered by the Pokémon was because they were not yet strong enough to break through the Champion level barrier.

As a result, after an incredibly intense battle, Gardevoir suffered a narrow defeat, and Dragonite almost couldn't stand up.

Everyone accepted the result, as both were equally talented and a temporary victory or defeat was not enough to determine anything.

In Long Shaoyun's words, even a small gap is still a gap. In addition, the Dragon Clan is known for its strength. If he loses, what right does he have to be called one of the two beauties with her?

If we consider the Psychic-type Pokémon as mages, then the Dragons are warriors. Without a tank in front of them, a mage will almost always lose in a one-on-one fight against a warrior.

"The finalists have emerged. Bai Jing and Long Shaoyun will face off tomorrow for first place."

The audience gave a warm round of applause, bringing today's exciting match to a close.

"Are you okay?"

Bai Jing really couldn't see any expression on Zhuge Chaoyue's expressionless face. Speaking of which, would Her Majesty the Queen want to kill someone after losing to her arch-rival?

Zhuge Chaoyue said calmly, "I'm fine!"

"Are you really okay? Do you need me to go out and let loose a little? Like, completely let loose?"

Zhuge Chaoyue rolled her eyes at him, "Dream on, haven't you been wanting to do this for a long time?"

"I'm really fine, I'm not that sensitive. I've fought her countless times since I was a kid, I've won and lost, I'm used to it! It's just that this time the stage is the competition, but it's all the same to us!"

That puts Bai Jing at ease!

"but……"

"But what?"

"Are you really confident you can beat her?"

"That is required!"

"Okay, help me beat her up tomorrow!"
