Pokémon: Did you play Pokémon today?

Chapter 282 The Culprit Behind This Huge Turmoil—Bai Zhou

"Let's get back to Division A!"

Accompanied by Xiao Hutao's energetic voice, the main perspective of the live broadcast switched to the turbulent sea area of ​​Division A.

"That's amazing!"

"In the short time we were focusing on other regions, all the competitors in Region A have already successfully arrived at the designated deep-sea fishing area!"

"So, let's turn our attention to the current leader."

The photographer on site was very professional, immediately zooming in and locking onto the crimson and green of the fish that had been leisurely fishing for quite some time.

"These two legends truly are destined rivals and best friends!"

Little Walnut's voice was full of admiration.

Even their seemingly casual casting motions subtly convey a sense of rivalry and competition! Perhaps this is the unique tacit understanding between strong individuals!

'

She carefully examined the real-time data statistics.

"Hmm—the current situation is that the Crimson player has caught two Magikarp and one Jellyfish, gaining a total of four initial points."

"Meanwhile, the green player acquired a stinging jellyfish, which, due to its higher point value, gives them a temporary lead of five points! The two are neck and neck, completely evenly matched!"

"At this rate, the two legends will soon accumulate ten initial points, qualifying them to proceed to the next stage of the route, but—"

Little Walnut changed the subject, her voice filled with a hint of mystery and anticipation, skillfully keeping everyone in suspense.

In response to her words, the live stream switched to a wide field of view.

Suddenly, dozens of event staff members riding ferocious Gyarados appeared in the waters connecting the deep-sea fishing area to the next stage of the shipping route!

They formed a neat line, quickly arrived at the entrance to the channel, and then tacitly dispersed, forming an arc facing the deep-sea fishing area.

The next moment, the Gyarados beneath their feet let out a low roar in unison, and pale blue water-type energy burst forth from their bodies, forming a continuous burst!

Buzz—

The sea surface churned, and starting from the line of workers, a distinct wave began to form, continuously absorbing energy as it moved forward!

The waves grew higher and higher, covering an increasingly wider area, heading straight for the deep-sea fishing area!

The already turbulent sea surface, due to the deep-sea environment, suddenly became turbulent under this man-made "stirring up"!

One after another, surging waves with significant drops swept towards all the anglers in the fishing area who were focused on fishing!

"That's right! The fishing spot was specifically chosen in the deep sea for this very moment!"

Little Walnut's excited voice echoed across all channels during the live broadcast, revealing the answer to the mystery.

"To comprehensively test and showcase the teamwork and adaptability of the competitors and their Pokémon partners, the event organizers will proactively add fun to the sea surface."

"Only by working together with your partner and securing the boat can you continue fishing safely in this environment!"

The sudden surge of waves caught many competitive anglers off guard.

The small boat rocked violently, causing a brief gasp of surprise.

But those who can participate in this performance competition are all highly experienced experts.

The panic was brief; they quickly regained their composure.

Whether by commanding Pokémon to use moves to stabilize the ship or by adjusting their posture with their own excellent sense of balance, they quickly adapted to this new challenge.

For Crimson and Green, this little storm was like a gentle breeze, having no effect whatsoever.

The crimson Venusaur and the turquoise Charizard don't even need commands; just standing there, their steady presence is like a rock.

Before the surging waves could even reach the small boat, they were easily dispersed by a single move, turning into a harmless mist.

The situation in other regions is similar.

The live stream feed switched rapidly.

In Division B, as expected, Ajin and Xiaoyin were still "passionately interacting".

Although they were accidentally swept into the sea by a wave, they immediately climbed back onto the boat, wiped their faces, and continued to wrestle, seemingly with only each other in their eyes.

Many later competitors took advantage of their "internal strife" and caught Pokémon first.

In Division C, under Xiao Lan's skillful command...

The "chained" formation, made up of numerous competitors' small boats linked end to end, remained as stable as Mount Tai in the face of this level of impact.

Everyone can go fishing or chatting.

There were even a few oblivious guys who had no idea what had just happened and were still discussing what to eat after the game.

Ultimately, the minimum skill level of the participants in this kind of exhibition match is at least that of a dojo master.

The organizers felt that this first wave of "appetizer" was indeed a bit too little for them.

Little Walnut had hoped that the sudden expansion of the storm would create some tension and excitement, but the effect was mediocre, leaving her somewhat embarrassed.

"Uh...it seems our competitors are all very strong; this level of challenge is no problem for them."

She was about to add a few words.

Rumble rumble—

The live stream suddenly started shaking violently! It was as if the camera had been placed on a vibration table!

At the same time, the roar of the waves suddenly filled the live broadcast channel!

It even drowned out Xiao Hutao's commentary at one point, and the live broadcast signal was momentarily unstable and noisy!

"W-What's going on?!"

Little Walnut was startled by this sudden turn of events.

"Is the signal being interfered with? Or is there a problem with the equipment on the filming set?"

No one answered her immediately.

Her voice sounded faint amidst the loud ambient noise.

The live stream was suddenly switched to a wider field of view, and it was a top-down, overhead shot.

The view, which was originally pointing at the shipping channel, suddenly changed direction and focused on the distant coastline.

The footage was still shaking violently, and the photographer's extreme shock could be clearly felt even through the lens.

The terrifying sound of the waves not only did not diminish, but grew louder and louder, like muffled thunder rolling in!

At that very moment, with a whoosh!

A white, almost tangible wave of air suddenly spread out from the coastline and instantly passed through the camera lens!

Then, a scene that will be unforgettable for all viewers occurred.

The seawater along the coast seemed to be pulled back and converged by an invisible force, and a giant wave several meters high rose out of thin air!

And in a way that defies the laws of physics, instead of crashing towards the shore, it fiercely advances in the opposite direction towards the deep-sea fishing area!

This is just the beginning!

As this giant, reverse-flowing wave surged forward, it devoured all the surrounding seawater and energy, expanding wildly at an alarming rate!

Five meters!

Fifteen meters!

Twenty-five meters!

In just a few breaths, a terrifying tsunami, tens of meters high and connecting the sea and sky, with the force to destroy everything, crashed down on the entire deep-sea fishing area!

This massive tsunami initially appeared to originate from the coastline outside Zone D!

However, along its path of advancement, it inevitably swept through the deep-sea fishing areas of all four competition zones: A, B, C, and D!

Every competitor, without exception, was exposed to this catastrophic threat!

"A sea, a tsunami!? Are you kidding me!? Why would it be a tsunami?!"

Little Walnut's eyes widened instantly, completely disregarding any professionalism or image as a host, and she abruptly turned around.

She grabbed the arm of a nearby event assistant, her voice rising in shock.

"W-Was this also a special obstacle arranged by the organizers?! Such a huge mess! Why wasn't anyone notified me beforehand?! This is too dangerous for the competitors!!!"

"No, no! Little Walnut is the host!"

The captured event participant turned pale, his back instantly soaked with cold sweat. He stared at the massive tsunami on the screen, which was engulfing everything, his tongue practically tied in knots.

"I swear! I haven't received any notification from the event organizers regarding this! This...this is completely outside the event's planning and regulations! We don't even have the capability to create a tsunami of this scale!"

He practically cried out, "Such a massive tsunami! It couldn't possibly have been man-made! There's only one possibility—it's a natural anomaly! It's a major accident!"

This urgent and panicked conversation was broadcast live to every viewer without reservation.

The sheer awe-inspiring sight of those towering waves was already enough to shock people.

This unexpected "official" statement made all the viewers who were still joking and thinking it was just for the show realize the seriousness of the matter!

The chat room exploded with comments.

"Holy crap! I thought it was some big surprise from the organizers! Turns out it was just a mishap during the game. Isn't that ridiculous?"

"Stop making jokes! Open your eyes and look at what that is! It's a tsunami! A tsunami that can swallow everything! Go save people!!!"

"It's alright! It's alright! Crimson Legend and Azure Legend are both here! They'll definitely have a way!"

"Don't be so naive! Individual strength is insignificant in the face of a natural disaster of this scale! Even the champions are no exception! They can barely protect themselves right now!"

"Wait a minute! Something's not right! If this is a naturally formed tsunami, the impact direction should be towards the coast! Why is it rushing towards the deep sea in the opposite direction?!"

"Am I seeing things? — I think I see a figure standing on the crest of that tsunami wave —"

It wasn't just the viewers in the live stream who were in chaos.

The staff on site were plunged into unprecedented chaos and panic, completely at a loss.

Almost all the photographers instinctively pointed their lenses at the sky-covering tsunami, falling into a state of shock and speechlessness.

They seemed to have been captivated, leaving only instinctive recording.

The rescue personnel who had been arranged to go appeared so small and helpless in the face of such overwhelming power.

Aside from standing still, they could hardly make any effective response.

In stark contrast to the panicked staff were the competitors in perilous situations.

Although they were also shocked by this sudden and drastic change, they displayed a calmness and composure far beyond that of ordinary people.

It wasn't just the competitors in Division D who first noticed the anomaly.

When the aftershocks and shadows of the tsunami spread to the other three regions, the top trainers there reacted almost instantly!

Region A

Crimson and Green exchanged a glance, needing no words, their years of tacit understanding causing both of them to simultaneously curl into excited smiles.

"Charizard! Sunny Day!"

"Bulbasa! Sunbeam!"

Division B.

Ah Jin and Xiao Yin stopped their "internal strife" without prior agreement.

One person rubbed his bruised eyes, while the other touched a large bump on his head. They stood at opposite ends of the swaying boat, their gazes fixed solemnly on the approaching wall of water in the distance.

"Explosion Taro! Flamethrower!"

"Mighty Crocodile! Help!"

Region C

Xiao Lan stared at the tsunami crashing down like a tidal wave and silently swallowed.

But then, as if she had just thought of something, she quickly pulled a pair of binoculars from her small handbag and looked carefully in the direction from which the tsunami was coming.

A few seconds later, the tense look on her face disappeared, replaced by an extremely strange and somewhat speechless expression.

She quietly put away her binoculars, sat down again, and even tidied her fishing rod before continuing her leisurely fishing.

Just as all the competitors were displaying their unique skills and preparing to face this "natural disaster".

The culprit behind this huge uproar—Shirazumi.

He was standing on that small boat that was shaking violently and creaking, facing a terrifying wind pressure that almost lifted him off his feet.

With a heart full of regret and a desire to bang my head against the ground, amidst that towering wall of tsunami—

They struggled to move forward.

He regretted it! Really!

He now wished he could tear off the jade pendant around his neck, smash it on the ground, and stomp on it a few times!

"Rathalos!!!"

The white boat's roar sounded weak and distorted amidst the raging wind pressure.

"Are you trying to take this opportunity to kill your master and inherit my pitiful fortune?! Huh?!"

"I told you to show the kids, not to kill them! Get that straight, you bastard!!"

!

'

"It's just surfing! Why did you secretly add the power of the Sky Authority to it?! Are you trying to wipe the entire region off the map?!?"

Bai Zhou has truly breached the defenses!

He had planned everything, but he never expected that Liekongzuo, who always seemed uninterested in anything, would be so audacious!

When they finally spoke, they unleashed an incredibly powerful and earth-shattering attack!

They're going in with the intention of mutual destruction!

Ugh—what a hassle.

A lazy and slightly dissatisfied thought came from Lie Kongzuo, but more than that, there was a hint of barely perceptible guilt.

It admits that it was indeed—slightly influenced by personal feelings.

A little bit.

But that was only because it had been suppressed by the world's rules for too long. Now, with Bai Zhou's help, his power is gradually recovering and is even stronger than before.

I was just itching to test my current level of control.

after all.

What bad intentions could a dragon that loves to take a nap have?

"—You were the one who said we had to catch up with them—"

Rayquaza tried to shift the blame, his voice carrying a hint of grievance.

"Putting aside the facts, don't you think you're completely without fault?!"

Bai Zhou was so angry he almost couldn't catch his breath.

He did want Rayquaza to use the Surf move to speed up, so that he could reach the deep-sea fishing area as soon as possible and catch up with the other competitors.

But definitely not in this way, "sending everyone to meet Kyogre!"

"Quickly! Immediately! Right now! Dissipate the excess energy inside!"

Bai Zhou clung tightly to the violently shaking ship's edge, roaring angrily at Lie Kongzuo.

"If anything really happens and you hurt anyone or any Pokémon, I'll put you in detention when I get home! I mean it!"
