Pokémon: Trainers Returning from Monster Hunter

Chapter 92 Let's Beat Up the Little Cutie Ziyu (Part 2)

Half past ten.

The Orange Academy anniversary battle event officially began with Ye Ci's announcement.

Whoosh!

The students in the audience erupted in cheers.

They've been thrashed by the various gym leaders in the past, so now there's a chance to see them fight each other, even if it's just a friendly match between their non-main players. It's something to look forward to!

Moreover, the chairman of the board revealed the identity of the mysterious person before the match.

It is none other than Oreki-senpai, who is known as the "legendary academic genius" of Orange Academy!

of course.

If it were just a past reputation, it certainly wouldn't have made so many students cheer. The main reason is that the live broadcasts during this period have had an effect.

Many students in the college are his fans.

Before the competition even started, several students had already approached Oreki and taken photos with him, looking flustered and embarrassed.

Oreki was naturally very pleased.

Fans who still support his live stream despite such a large time difference deserve our deepest gratitude.

Meanwhile, the unknown trainers and some students of Blueberry Academy, thanks to the enthusiastic explanations from those around them, also developed some interest.

at this time.

As the focus of cheers for many.

Oreki is preparing to enter the arena in the player tunnel.

Although his draw number was 3, theoretically it was the third match.

However, in order to speed up the process, the academy started all four matches simultaneously.

Only 16 people were ultimately selected through the application process for this event.

After all, it was just a warm-up event, an exhibition match.

This means that he only needs to win against two opponents to guarantee a semi-final reward.

As for what the reward is, Ye Ci has not yet announced it.

Think about it too.

Of these 16 people, is he the only one who came for the reward?

Oreki has reason to doubt this.

Look into the distance.

Ziyu was clutching two nest balls, muttering something to herself.

The voice was too soft; Oreki could only vaguely hear words like "cute" and "good luck."

"Let's welcome our contestants to the stage!"

Ye Ci's magnetic voice rang out on the stage.

Zhemu and Zigan walked out of the passage at the same time.

In an instant, the audience erupted in cheers once again.

However, some longtime fans of Oreki felt a little regretful amidst their excitement.

If—if I could see Oreki-senpai personally engage in hand-to-hand combat, even if I died, it would be worth it!

Battlefield No. 3.

"Nice to meet you, Oreki-senpai!"

Zi Yu made a cute fist-and-palm gesture.

"I wouldn't call it giving pointers, but I'll do my best to present a wonderful battle for the audience."

97

Oreki threw out two Poké Balls and drew a 2v2 doubles match from the purple rod.

Tiremy and Kirlia appeared on the field at the same time.

They exchanged a glance.

They both saw eagerness in each other's eyes.

This is the first time they have fought side by side on a relatively formal battlefield since they evolved.

"Go forth, Wind Sprite, Blue King!"

In the distance, Ziyu sent out her two Pokémon.

Isn't it just two little cuties being patted by positive and negative charges?

Oreki thought that Shiyu would clear the way with a double tap, just like in the game in his previous life.

I remember back then—I think I used time-based and space-based photo-taking techniques?

But then again.

There's no need to send substandard cotton right away.

Oreki really wanted the other party's wind spirit to turn around.

A reliable back view, an evil front view, originates from the quotes of a great exposed mushroom enthusiast.

Even though Oreki wasn't a battle enthusiast in his previous life, he had still heard of the infamous Black-Hearted Cotton Wind Fairy.

Whether in doubles or singles, it has its place.

The schemes are numerous and dirty.

What a switch! Attacking the tail after the switch, with a fierce and reckless momentum, starting with a tailwind, and giving a parting gift before leaving, a double attack on the abandoned monkey — ugh!

But as I said before, this is the real Pokémon world!

Go ahead and use Kirlia's Instant Transmission combo without explanation.

The moment the referee announced the start, Blue King's Intimidate ability was activated.

A hideous phantom appeared on its face.

Kirlia and Tirey both shook their heads upon seeing this.

His eyes regained their sharpness.

?

Can you do this?

Having established a telepathic connection, Oreki clearly sensed that the two of them did not seem to be affected by the intimidation.

The hideous face that should have reduced their attack power was immediately expelled by the immense mental power the moment it appeared in my mind.

Artificial "mental power/characteristics"?

Another illegal thing has happened.

"Wind Fairy, with tailwind! Blue King, charge in and unleash your Flame Punch!"

Without time to worry about whether the two Pokémon on the other side were affected by the Intimidate, Purple Rod immediately gave instructions.

"Kirullian teleported over, knocked down Whimsicott, and Tiremy's Falling Petals covered everything."

Oreki gave the same command in his mind.

Never mind this or that, let's just film the props you might have first.

Kirlian was a little confused when she heard this, but she did as she was told.

In terms of battles, it's best to listen to your trainer.

Instant teleportation was activated, and in the next second, he appeared behind the Wind Fairy.

Just then, a gust of wind blew from behind. Blue King was startled by the sudden appearance of Kirlia, and then rushed straight towards Tiremon, who was charging up to unleash a move.

Thanks to the tailwind provided by its partner, it is extremely fast.

In the blink of an eye, it had already approached Tire Cat, brandishing its fiery fists.

Just when it thought the Flame Fist was a sure hit, Tire Cat's Falling Petals suddenly expanded, enveloping it completely.

"cloth?"

The Emperor of Brut stopped in his tracks instantly.

It lost its target.

This scene surprised the audience.

Because not only Blue Emperor, but even those sitting high up couldn't see Tire Cat's figure.

Even though the flower tornadoes formed by the falling petals have large gaps, they just can't capture them.

"Where's Tiremy?"

"I don't know."

"Oreki-senpai always manages to surprise people."

"Have you guys noticed that Senior's Tire Cat seems to be significantly taller than a normal Tire Cat?"

Discussions rose and fell, growing increasingly heated, and soon attracted the attention of most people.

Even Xin Li, who was in complete control of the first court, cast a curious glance at them.

Is this the person the president has his eye on?

It seems really good!

On the field.

Kirlia, who had teleported behind Whimsicott, had already delivered a punch.

Although it uses the Knock Off move, it still prefers to punch Pokémon.

Clang!

A helmet-shaped prop fell out from the cotton behind the wind sprite's head.

Kirlia reacted quickly. After taking the backlash, just as Whimsicott was about to pick up the Thud Helmet, her psychic powers pulled her directly into her hand.

Your props are great, but they'll be mine in the next second!

"??"

Zi Yu was a little confused.

Are you trying to knock something off or steal it?

Despite having successfully gained a tailwind, Blue Emperor has already taken advantage of the tailwind to approach Tire Cat.

In a normal scenario, Blue King's Flame Fist would definitely cripple Tire Cat.

But why did it turn out this way?

After a brief moment of distraction, she regained her composure and continued directing.

"Brook, unleash your Flame Fist into the Falling Petals to force the opponent out! Whimsicott, use Cotton Defense!"

Hearing the other party's command, Oreki was also dumbfounded.

The last one who attacked with a Flame Fist during the process of the falling petals was soon lying on the ground.

You're coming too?

The cotton defense, however, was quite targeted.

It's clear that Ziyu knows Kirlia also likes to use Fire Punch, so she wants to use Cotton to greatly increase Whimsicott's defense.

Are you planning a protracted war?

Stop dreaming.

"Kirullian teleports back, let's take care of Blue Emperor first. Tiremy, unleash your ultimate!"

The thought had barely crossed her mind when Tire Cat's angry voice came back.

"You stinky Oreki, do you know how much it hurts to be hit like that?!"

"Then you stand back for me, and I'll carry it for you."

Kirlian's thoughts followed immediately.

"Tch, let it explode then, I'm not a coward."

Tiremy pursed her lips and steeled her resolve.

But just as it was about to relinquish control of the falling petals and let this clumsy fellow experience the "art of explosion," it suddenly remembered the blue-winged bird it had seen on the plane that day.

Then he thought of the feeling of frantically swallowing air currents on Garchomp's back.

By some strange twist of fate.

The moment it was released from control, it drifted away in the direction of the "flower tornado's" rotation.

That's right, it's "Floating"!

It not only relinquishes control over the moves, but also over the body.

The hair on its chest and back may seem to be fluttering wildly in the wind, but it always manages to adjust its balance at crucial moments.

"This silly cat has a good understanding."

Oreki accidentally transmitted his thoughts.

"You're the idiot, meow!!"

As soon as she retorted, Tire Cat's strange feeling instantly vanished, and she flew straight away.

However, by this time it had already moved far away from the blast radius of the falling petals.

The emperor was left standing there somewhat bewildered, only to be engulfed by the ignited "flower tornado".

Why is this happening?

Zi Yu murmured incredulously to herself.

Fire Punch – Shouldn't it be effective against Grass-type moves?

It's just that Oreki is too far away, otherwise I could have given her a lesson on the energy theory of Pokémon moves.

It's true that you should interrupt Tiremon's attacks during the gaps in its attacks, but what you should do is try to smash a Flame Punch into Tiremon's head.

Instead of detonating it when the move is extremely unstable!

Now look what's happened, he's gotten himself into trouble.

The fire tornado is still burning.

Through the flames, one could see the Blue Emperor struggling to stay afloat inside.

However, at that moment...

In the audience's view, a white and green figure squeezed into the still-burning fire tornado.

Then came a barrage of fiery punches.

"Chiruchiruchiru!"

The fire tornadoes, which had been showing signs of waning, seemed to have been given a second spring and became erect again.

The King of Bruno immediately cried out in distress.

Being forced to take a beating is bad enough, but after finally keeping up with the opponent's speed and managing to fight back, I still got hit by my teammate's protruding helmet—

Wind Fairy, you've ruined me!

"Is Kirlia out of her mind?!"

"Fun fact: Oreki-senpai's Kirlia is exactly like this."

"It's not time yet. You'll know how terrifying it is when you see its sinister grin."

"That's right, and look at how little the King of Blue on the other side dares to fight back!"

The audience erupted in chaos.

Even on court number one, Xin Li's opponent was distracted by this explosive scene.

As expected, Xinli's Donak seized the opportunity and ended the battle with a single Iron Head.

"It really is—unique?"

Xin Li couldn't help but make a comment.

Unlike their surprise and spectator mentality, Zi Yu's feelings at this moment could be said to be the same as those of the Blue Emperor just now.

I was at a loss.

What should we do next?

I clearly followed the academy's teaching instructions strictly.

Intimidate the opponent at the start to reduce their output, seize the initiative when you have the advantage, and then use cotton to defend in combination with the convex helmet item to almost ignore the opponent's physical attack.

Finally, all you need to do is have Whimsicott break the wall, sprinkle powder, and help Blue King fight a prolonged battle to secure the victory.

The reality and the simulation are not just different, they are completely unrelated!

"If I don't give any commands, this match can end already?"

Oreki spoke up to remind him.

While Zi Yu was in a daze, the fire tornado completely dissipated, revealing the now-circled-eye Blue Emperor inside, and—

Kirlian stood tall, her fists still blazing!

Poor little Blue was completely outmaneuvered by two cute Pokémon from beginning to end.

Finally, Kirlia grinned and personally knocked him unconscious.

With only Whimsicott left on the field, even with the bonuses of Tailwind and Cotton's defense, it was difficult to turn the tide.

If the main attackers have lost their fighting ability, what use are the support players?

"I surrender."

Zi Yu quickly analyzed the situation and conceded defeat without hesitation.

The referee raised his right flag at the appropriate time to announce the decision.

"Ms. Murasaki concedes defeat; the winner is Mr. Oreki!"

"She lost? Junior Sister Ziyu lost so easily?"

In the audience, a student from the Blueberry Academy delegation said incredulously.

Most of them are first-year students, with a small number being reserves.

Although I hate to admit it, Zi Yu is indeed the most skilled among them.

Even their principal, Xi Lan, once said, "Zi Yu's talent for nurturing is outstanding, no less than that of the Four Heavenly Kings from other regions."

His remarks.

So they were eliminated in the first round?

Looking at her opponent, they didn't even have a final evolved form.

Is this really that outrageous?

However, some of them were also fans of Oreki, and they immediately responded upon hearing this.

"Oreki-sensei has always been this outrageous, and he hasn't even shown Kirlia's Fire Fist paralysis technique yet."

"Huh? Flame Fist paralyzes? Are you really a reserve student who passed the entrance exam to get into the academy? Don't you even have this much common sense?"

The former remained silent, but simply opened the video titled "Pikachu | Find the Strange Tree".

The title is—"Hoenn Tales Series: Oreki-senpai's Amazing Move Again, the Paralyzing Effect of the Flame Fist!"

As the video played, they gradually fell silent until they were completely dumbfounded.

Is that correct?

Is this special code legal?

Just as they were falling into self-doubt, the surrounding audience suddenly began chanting "Kirullian" one after another.

"Kirullian!"

"Kirullian!"

"Oreki-senpai's Kirlia is so awesome! So cool!!"

"The battle is awesome!!"

Compared to tactics and all sorts of disgusting tricks, it's definitely the visceral impact of punches and kicks that really gets people excited.

Edge of the venue.

Just as Tire Cat, still a little dazed from the fall, was about to get up, she heard these cheers.

After a brief moment of thought, it chose to lie down and remain still.

Meow meow, without my artistic explosion, would Little Ra have ended the battle so quickly?

Why is everyone calling its name?

Forget it, it's better to play dead at this point.

Otherwise it would be a bit awkward.

Kirlia looked around at the high platform and suddenly remembered what the trainer had said in the cave below the LavaCity Gym.

More and more people will praise you in the future, so you need to get used to it in advance.

Is this what it feels like to be cheered for?

It seems—not bad—
