Pokémon: Starting with a strongman and a slacker

"Our champion is not only a professional star, but also a weightlifting champion. His strong muscles are a symbol of his strength!"

"Our Bai Jing is facing a top-ranked player like Li Wang in the first match. It seems our Bai Jing isn't having much luck!"

That's what they say, but the host was thinking to himself, "These people with superpowers are extraordinary, or this competition is going to be very exciting!"

"Hey kid, dare to come down and arm wrestle with me?"

Bai Jing glanced at him disdainfully and asked, "You're so strong, how many buckets of rice do you eat in a day?"

"I spend one day..."

Li Wang was stunned for a moment, then angrily said, "How dare you call me a good-for-nothing!"

"I didn't say that, you said it yourself!"

You can't laugh unless you can't help it!

The audience burst into laughter!

Li Wang glared at Bai Jing, "Watch out or I'll crush you!"

"Ahem~ Please send out your Pokémon!"

"Go forth, my mighty warrior, Heracross!"

That suits his style; Heracross is known for his superhuman strength.

"Come out, Mantis!"

The moment the Scizor appeared, the audience went wild!

"What kind of elf is this?"

"How come I've never seen this before!"

"A completely new species?"

The host exclaimed, "My God, it's such a rare elf!"

"Many people probably don't recognize it, because it's a completely new species discovered in the last two years. It's another evolutionary form of the flying praying mantis, and... and..."

The host looked at Bai Jing in astonishment, "And so far, there's only one in the entire world!"

Yes, even though they knew the way of evolution, they couldn't find a second piece of obsidian in the whole world, which really puzzled Bai Jing!

The audience was in an uproar. There was only one in the whole world, so you can imagine how precious it was!

Each of them stared at the mantis in the arena with burning eyes, and some even cast malicious glances at Bai Jing.

"Hey kid, you dare to bring out such a precious Pokémon? Aren't you afraid of getting into trouble?"

Bai Jing glanced at Li Wang in surprise. This big, stupid guy actually has a good heart!

"It's alright, we can't just keep it from seeing anyone, can we? That would be too pitiful. It needs its own stage too! And since I dared to take it out, I'm confident I can protect it!"

Bai Jing chuckled and said, "Anyone who dares to have any ulterior motives, I'll send them to meet God!"

"You're great, a responsible trainer!"

The host thought to himself, his confidence must come from his superpowers. People with superpowers are the people you shouldn't mess with, that's a fact known worldwide.

"Game start!"

"Up!"

"Heracross, use Super Corner Shot!"

Heracross charged forward furiously, his horns blazing!

The Scizor remained motionless until its opponent came close, at which point it activated Stealth Rock!

Suddenly, rocks shot out from all around and struck Heracross.

Riki exclaimed in surprise, "When?"

At the same time, Bai Jing gave the order, "Rock Axe!"

The Mantis spun around and delivered a powerful blow to Heracross, sending it flying back.

"A flash of lightning, and the cross-cutting shears!"

The Mantis with the Axe-Splitter transformed into lightning and gave chase, its two massive axes clashing across Heracross to finish him off!

Seeing his beloved general fall back to his feet, Riki exclaimed, "Impressive! I've never seen such a strong newcomer!"

"Heracross, we can't afford to be discouraged anymore. This is a real opponent. Let's give it our all!"

Riki-Oh pulled out the Evolution Key Stone and shouted, "Mega Evolution!"

But Heracross, who stood up, looked pained; his evolution had failed!

"What happened?"

Nobody knew what was going on, not even the well-informed host!

Bai Jing explained, "(Li Hao) This is a completely new state called the Fragment state. Like the Burn state, it will continuously cause damage."

Fragmented state?

Everyone exclaimed that they had learned something new!

"Look closely at Heracross's joints and you'll understand!"

As the camera zoomed in, everyone took a closer look and discovered that Hercules had rubble stuck in his joints. They suddenly realized that this was how the fragments were supposed to be.

"Was it left behind when the scythe attacked?"

"That's right!"

"Alright, that concludes the science lesson!"

"Scizor, attack!"

"Rock Axe!"

Riki's expression changed!

Chapter 429 A Madman Who Treats Money Like Dust

After ending the match and getting rid of those who wanted to take down the Mantis, Bai Jing left the arena.

A few days later, the three men from the chaotic battle zone found Bai Jing and said they had helped him find a high-stakes gambling partner and asked him to come to the arena to discuss the matter.

Upon arriving at a VIP room, we found five people already waiting.

When they saw that Bai Jing was a young man, they all frowned.

One of the portly middle-aged men frowned and said, "So you're the one who started this high-stakes bet? Do you have the financial resources? Which tycoon's son are you?"

Bai Jing ignored him, went to sit on the sofa, and snapped his fingers!

"Whiskey, thank you!"

The waiter immediately poured a glass over!

Bai Jing slowly took a sip, and just as the others were about to become impatient, he said, "If I didn't have the money, would I have invited you guys here to play?"

Another middle-aged woman, aged 053, said, "It's not that we don't trust you, but you're too young. Can you represent your family? Can you mobilize so much capital?"

Bai Jing laughed heartily, "I can speak for myself!"

The group's faces darkened. Just as they were about to get up, Bai Jing took out his phone, made a few gestures, and then pushed it onto the table.

"I think it would be more convincing for you to see for yourselves!"

With a skeptical attitude, the group took turns picking up their phones to look at the balances. When they saw the bank account information, their pupils contracted.

"Haha... My apologies, I didn't expect you to be such a young and promising tycoon!"

The group's expressions changed drastically. They smiled and sat down again, exchanging subtle glances and realizing that no one present recognized the person in question.

"Alright, you don't need to ask about my family background. We're here to gamble, not to find a partner, right?"

"Of course! May I ask your surname?"

"My surname is Bai! And yours? Aren't you going to introduce yourselves?"

A middle-aged man in his early thirties stood up and bowed. "My surname is Ma. I am the person in charge of the chaotic zone. I am here today to witness the proceedings and will not participate in your high-stakes gambling!"

Let me introduce you!

"This is Mr. Wang!"

The obese middle-aged man from earlier.

"This is Madam Li!"

The noblewoman from earlier.

"This is Master Jin!"

An elderly man with an impressive presence.

"This is Master Fazang!"

Yes, a monk has infiltrated the ranks of the wealthy.

Mr. Wang asked first, "Young Master Bai, how much are you planning to bet?"
