Even Sinnoh champions have to work hard.

--------------------------------

Lugia's infiltration, now in human form, didn't cause any trouble. After all, most people in the Pokémon world are kind. It's not a fantasy novel with an overpowered protagonist, and there aren't any villainous rich kids trying to steal the female lead. Even if there were, they wouldn't seem to pose a threat, since the female lead's fighting power seems capable of crushing a bunch of idiots.

Unbeknownst to anyone, a sea god had already infiltrated the city. The round of 16 was still in full swing. After Zheng Yilan easily advanced, Qi You and Inuyasha Sakura also easily defeated their opponents to advance to the quarterfinals.

Unfortunately, despite facing a rather weak opponent, Ash was unable to advance to the top eight and was eliminated due to various factors, especially the fact that Charizard was unruly.

At this point, seven players have qualified for the quarterfinals, with only one group still undecided!

Lingxi VS Qiong.

After Milotic was summoned, the two tough guys fought for a long time.

Despite Milotic's complete type advantage, it is not a Pokémon designed for offensive attacks. After using Rain Dance, it barely managed to defeat this troublesome guardian dragon thanks to the rain.

Silently retracting her guardian dragon, Yulong Lingxi revealed a satisfied expression. She was still trying her best to endure, and the battle in front of her had given her a great deal of pleasure, but it wasn't enough!

That's definitely not enough!

Yu Long Lingxi longed to face a storm of devastation, like facing a righteous and awe-inspiring force, a relentless and exhilarating attack, a storm of onslaught that would drive one to madness with its intensity. For a masochist, such a frenzied attack would be the ultimate reward!

Although her opponent could cause her considerable trouble, even employing various effective and meticulously planned tactics, Yu Long Lingxi disliked this feeling intensely.

For example, if Sora's fighting style is a very methodical Caster, creating favorable conditions step by step to achieve victory, then the righteous and awe-inspiring strategy is essentially Berserker, not to be cowardly and just hammer you. Which one is more satisfying for a masochist is obvious.

Lingxi, who had just recalled her guardian dragon, revealed a wicked smile on her flushed face. Facing Milotic, who was thriving in the rain, Lingxi gently tossed the Poké Ball out of her hand.

"Go ahead, it's the one I've chosen!"

A flash of white light appeared, and a figure slowly emerged from the pool, confronting Milotic.

That's a Kingdra! A Kingdra with the Swift Swim ability!

As a Pokémon that ultimately evolves from Horsea, Kingdra, a Water/Dragon type, is naturally adept in rainy weather.

What's more, its main characteristic is its lightness and agility!

A feature that allows it to double its speed in the rain.

Kingdra is a very terrifying Pokémon. Unlike Pokémon like Pokémon that specialize in one area, Kingdra is a Pokémon with very high overall performance. No matter which stat it has, it is not low. In rainy weather, Kingdra with the Swift Swim ability is an absolutely terrifying creature.

Upon seeing Kingdra appear, Qiong's expression changed. Milotic's Rain Dance was essentially a gift to others. A Kingdra in the rain was like a warrior with both frontal combat ability and agility, making it difficult for Qiong to cope!

As expected, under Kingdra's fierce attack, Kyon's Milotic, Slowpoke, and Dewprik were defeated one after another, with Kingdra defeating all three of them in one fell swoop!

Qiong took a deep breath and told herself to stay calm, even though it was a very humiliating thing for someone to defeat three opponents at once, especially for a genius trainer like her.

Fortunately, Lorelei had already prepared Sora before the match, and Sora, knowing in advance how strong their opponent was, was not greatly affected. She recalled her Slowpoke, which had no battle ability, and now Sora only had one Glaceon and her ultimate trump card - Lapras.

Qiong could no longer see any hope of winning this match, but at least she wanted to lose gracefully.

"Hey, you weirdo over there!" Qiong called out to Lingxi.

"What's wrong? Planning to surrender?" Lingxi, her expression back to normal, responded to Qiong's call. What kind of tactic is it to suddenly chat with your opponent in the battle zone? Is it to break down your opponent's mind?

Lingxi was puzzled and decided to see what kind of trouble the other party was up to.

"I want to see your strongest form!" Qiong held the Lapras Poké Ball in her hand, staring at Yulong Lingxi with a serious expression: "I know you are very strong, perhaps the strongest among all trainers this year. I might not even be able to see your final trump card even if I use all my strength, so I chose this method!"

"This Lapras is the strongest of all my Pokémon! Perhaps it's a bit unreasonable, but I hope to use it to battle your strongest Pokémon! If Lapras is defeated, I will choose to retire from the arena!"

Upon hearing this, Yu Long Lingxi recalled the Thorn Dragon King, which had been arrogantly dominating the pool, and smiled at Qiong: "You are a worthy opponent. I accept your challenge!"

A deluxe ball appeared in Yulong Lingxi's hand. After a flash of white light, a blue figure appeared on the Pokémon battle field.

Is that really the case?

Watching the figure slowly appear on the Pokémon battlefield, looking somewhat lazy, slow and elegant, completely lacking any imposing presence, it even looked as cute as if it were harmless.

However, the moment Kazama Shiramo saw this Dragonair, he knew that the outcome of the match was no longer in doubt!

The Dragonair, shimmering with a faint golden light, was a genuine Elite Four-level Pokémon. And that faint glow wasn't some special ability; Kazama Shirabu knew perfectly well that it meant the Dragonair possessed a legendary item called a Shining Stone.

P.S. Second update, going to sleep. I really can't find time for extra updates normally, I'm a bit annoyed by all the classes. The extra update time will be the same as always, you all know what I mean.

Chapter 18 Some things were destined from the beginning.

A Champion-level Dragonite carrying a Glowstone.

Kazama Shiromoto gave a wry smile; it was hopeless. He looked in the direction of Sora with a hint of sympathy.

They're not even in the same league. That Lapras's aura is already fantastic, but it's like there's an insurmountable chasm between it and Dragonair!

Lingxi smiled as she looked at Qiong and slowly said, "I'll give you a chance. Hakron will stand still and wait for your attack. Go ahead and unleash your strongest attack!"

In Qiong's eyes, Lingxi, whose face was rosy at the moment, was filled with arrogance. This was the composure of a strong person, who could disregard his own arrogance.

Of course, Qiong might not know Lingxi's current state.

I was so excited, so excited that I almost cried!

Not knowing how to describe her current feelings, Lingxi, who was already quite emotional after being beaten, wanted to release her emotions on the spot!

So she chose to take the beating, to face the opponent's strongest attack head-on.

Of course, Qiong was unaware of all this. In her eyes, Lingxi had become a very proud and courageous genius girl—someone to admire!

"Riding the dragon, blizzard!"

Although her opponent arrogantly allowed her to launch an attack, Qiong did not perform any buff enhancements. It is said that powerful trainers have a sense of mutual respect. Qiong's most direct and simple ice-type move, Blizzard, was the greatest respect she could show her opponent!

The overwhelming snow and ice crashed fiercely against the Hakuryu floating on the water's surface. However, the Hakuryu, whose body emitted a faint golden glow, remained motionless in the blizzard, enduring the blow head-on!

but……

Kazama Shiramo looked at the person standing on the opposite platform. Although the person maintained a calm demeanor on the surface, their face was flushed, their eyes were unfocused, and their body was trembling slightly. The audience in the stands were too far away to notice, but Kazama Shiramo, standing closer, couldn't help but see it...

Wearing a short skirt, a small stream of unknown liquid slowly flowed down Lingxi's beautiful thigh, wetting Yulong Lingxi's beautiful white stockings!

My God! What have I just seen?

If I'm not mistaken, that guy really did it in broad daylight...

Horror!

"I surrender." Looking at Hakron, who stood unharmed in the blizzard, a hint of despair flashed in Qiong's eyes as she chose to surrender.

She was a skilled fighter, but she didn't enjoy engaging in pointless battles. She chose to give up, to give up on defeating the unbeatable opponent before her.

"The opponent concedes defeat, and Yu Long Ling Xi from Yanmo City has won the match."

After announcing the results of the competition, Kazama Shiro watched as Yulong Lingxi left the arena with an unnatural gait. To be honest, he felt a bit uneasy. He couldn't understand what kind of mentality the Yulong family had to let this guy out to embarrass himself. The Yulong family couldn't possibly be lacking a champion like this, could they?

However, this has nothing to do with me anymore. I'm not the one who saves my wife, so why should I worry about the Imperial Dragon Family?

After changing into his costume in the dressing room, Kazama Shiromo stretched and walked out of the venue, where he was greeted by his adorable little apprentice and Inuyasha Sakura.

"Teacher." Holding Inuyasha Sakura's little hand, the righteous and adorable girl looked at him and said, "Thank you for your hard work."

"There's nothing hard about it. Refereeing is a pretty easy and well-paid job. I'm just feeling a bit sentimental."

"What are you feeling sentimental about?"

Kazama Shiromo recalled Lingxi's flushed face on the battlefield and couldn't help but feel a chill run down his spine: "It's better for a child not to know too much. Let's go eat first."

"Wait." Inuya Sakura grabbed Kazama Shiro, who was about to turn and leave. "We're waiting for someone else."

"Who are we waiting for?" After asking this question, Kazama Shiromo suddenly felt a chill for no reason. The person Inuyasha Sakura and Rinran were waiting for couldn't possibly be Lingxi or Qi You, so...

"Of course you're waiting for me!"

A familiar voice, a familiar tone. Kazama Shiramo turned around and saw a short-haired girl in a kimono—oh, no, now I should say a short-haired young woman named Erika.

“Erika…” Kazama Shiramo looked at Erika, who was walking gracefully towards him, and was at a loss for words: “What are you doing here?”

After asking Kazama Shiramo, he regretted it a little. What else could Erika be here for? Pshaw, she's here to attend the Quartz Conference. Could she be here to hook up with him?

Ignoring Kazama Shiro's somewhat embarrassed expression, Erika stepped forward and grabbed Kazama Shiro's arm: "I'm here to hook up with you. With Rie not around, how about we have a good few rounds?"

Damn, Kazama Shiramo was speechless for a moment. Erika, who doesn't play by the rules at all, has become even more irresistible after losing her integrity.

"Just kidding." Considering that Inuyasha Sakura and Rinran were still nearby, Erika didn't do anything more outrageous. She gently released Kazama Shiromo's arm and waved to Rinran and Inuyasha Sakura: "Let's go, let's go eat."

So Kazama Shiro arrived at the restaurant with three beauties, one big and two small (?). If this were a normal novel, there would be a bunch of idiots admiring how pretty the beauties were and how envious they were, and the guy would want to put a voodoo doll on him. Then a stupid villain would jump out and slap Kazama Shiro in the face, which would be incredibly satisfying!

However, this is the world of Pokémon. Although quite a few people glanced back at the three of them along the way, there was no red villainous rich kid jumping out to make them show off and get slapped in the face. It was just too... real.

After all, the most typical rich kid in this book, Gary, already has a car full of girlfriends in his luxury car, yet he still loves Satoshi. Of course, don't ask me why a ten-year-old can drive a car or anything like that. You should just go into the anime and ask them yourself.

This time, Kazama Shiramo learned from her previous experience and did not choose a popular buffet restaurant. Instead, she opted for a more upscale-looking Western restaurant and booked a small private room.

The dinner went fairly well, and the group finished their meal in a fairly pleasant manner. As Zheng Yilinran was wiping her mouth with a napkin, Inuyasha Sakura suddenly hugged her, a barely perceptible glint in her eyes, and said in a slightly coquettish tone, "Rinran, shall we sleep together tonight?"

"It's not impossible. You can come with me later." Still unaware of Inuyasha Sakura's intentions, Zheng Yilinran had no suspicion of Inuyasha Sakura and nodded in agreement to her request without thinking. It's perfectly normal for close girls to sleep together.

Chapter 19 Let's both capsize!

A barely perceptible glint flashed in Erika's eyes as she smiled and nodded, "Then I'll trouble you to take Sakura back first, Rinran. Your teacher and I have some things to discuss."

"Something? We need to discuss?" Kazama Shiramo was momentarily speechless, unsure of what to say. He already had a general idea of ​​what Erika meant by "something to discuss."

Without hesitation, Zheng Yin nodded in agreement, then took Inuyasha Sakura's little hand and got up to leave.

The moment he righteously left the room and closed the door, some things were destined to happen...

The instant she confirmed that Zheng Yilan had left, Erika nestled into Kazama Shiro's arms, her small hands rubbing back and forth on Kazama Shiro's thigh.

"Actually, I don't want to eat Western food." Erica breathed hot air into Kazama Shiramo's ear.

"So what do you want to eat?" Kazama Shiromo gently turned his head to the side. He was well aware that Erika was teasing him.

"I want you to treat me to six yuan's worth of oden." Ai Lijia's face was a little flushed, but she still whispered her true feelings in Kazama Shiramo's ear.

Kazama Shiramo gasped; this was already an explicit hint.

"I think we, Erica..."

"Don't speak, I don't want to hear it!"

"But……"

Well, Kazama Shiro was indeed unable to speak now, so Erika directly sealed his lips with hers, her hot tongue fiercely entwining and sucking up Kazama Shiro's sweet saliva.
