Bottom-tier trainers in the Pokémon world

After all, there are too many long matches played simultaneously.

"What kind of spirit is that person holding?"

"Why does it look like an unhatched egg?"

"So cute!"

Nearby spectators noticed Togepi in Xia Yan's arms and began to whisper among themselves.

“It’s Togepi.” One of the young men, adjusting his glasses, said, identifying Togepi’s Pokémon species.

Under the watchful eyes of many, the young man continued with a hint of pride: "Togepi is a Normal-type Pokémon, which is relatively rare. It seems that it was only in recent years that it was included in the Pokémon catalog of the Johto region. It is said that where Togepi appears, it means that the happiness index of that place is not low, so it is also known as the 'Pokémon that can sense happiness'."

Upon hearing his explanation, those around him looked enlightened.

"However, it's said that Togepi isn't very strong in battle, and is more like Eevee, which is loved for its appearance..."

Togepi was initially quite happy to be praised for being cute, as it listened to the people on stage.

But when others say it's weak, it glares at them and waves its little fists.

Who's weaker?

Believe it or not, I'll smash your dog's head in!

"So cute—" Many girls were quickly captivated by Togepi's good looks.

It was only because Xia Yan was holding him that Togepi might have actually rushed up to those people and unleashed a finger strike. In his anger, he might have shaken them off the cliff or done something amazing.

Enter the battlefield.

Standing opposite Xia Yan was a boy of about sixteen or seventeen years old, holding a Poké Ball, who seemed very confident in defeating Xia Yan and Togepi.

He certainly heard the conversation on stage as well.

My first impression of Togepi was based on adjectives like "cute," "happy," and "weak."

"Please send out your elves," the referee announced, holding up his flag.

Xia Yan put Togepi on the ground.

Togepi stared intently at the other person with a fierce and intimidating look, which elicited screams from many girls.

This Togepi is cute yet fierce.

"Heh—go ahead, Mr. Mosquito Coil!"

A deep blue sprite with rings of markings on its chest appeared in the arena.

Mosquito Coil is a pure water-type spirit, and is the evolved form of Mosquito Tadpole.

After observing for a while, Xia Yan roughly judged the strength of this Mosquito Coil.

It should also be at the Excellent level, but it's estimated that it hasn't been at the Excellent level for very long.

That would make things relatively easier.

"Battle begins!"

With the referee's whistle, Xia Yan's performance match began.

Togepi's expression changed instantly.

“Cha-ke-yi—”

Then, Pokopie pouted and squeezed out a few tears, looking aggrieved.

The pitiful sight made not only Mosquito Coil but also the girls in the stands nearby unable to bear it.

At this moment, in their eyes, Mosquito Coil was a bad person.

But clearly, the mosquito coil didn't do anything.

While the other person was in a daze, Togepi turned his head and winked playfully at Xia Yan where no one else could see.

Xia Yan's eye twitched.

Pokerby's acting skills are beyond words.

Then Togepi cautiously stepped forward, his slow movements and careful demeanor suggesting he had absolutely no desire to attack.

Mosquito Coil and his trainer were a little unaccustomed to this situation for a while.

Togepi obediently took out a small gift box from behind its back, pushed it little by little in front of Mosquito Coil, and then slowly backed away.

“Chocolate…”

Meeting gift...

Chapter Fifty-Six: Targeted Techniques?

A gift to mark the meeting.

Mosquito Coil scratched its head.

Aren't they fighting?

I've never seen anything like this before.

It glanced at the obediently retreating to the side, seemingly harmless, and listened to the audience on stage shouting about the consequences if it dared to make the first move.

In the end, Mosquito Coil couldn't resist the temptation of the gift in front of it.

After thinking for a moment, he reached for the box.

Xia Yan, sitting opposite him, also looked thoughtful.

How powerful is Togepi's Gift move?

He was also a little curious about that.

As Mosquito Coil slowly opened the box, a sly glint flashed in its eyes as it looked down at Togepi's tiny feet.

boom!!!

A sudden, loud roar came the moment Mosquito Coil Guy opened the box.

A massive explosion sent flames soaring into the sky.

The audience members who had been shouting from the stands that Togepi was cute and harmless suddenly fell silent.

Amidst the rising dust, the disheveled figure of Mosquito Coil was sent flying backward.

It fell heavily to the ground, and its eyes turned into a pattern similar to the one on its chest.

Lost the ability to fight.

Mosquito Coil seems to be having some bad luck.

It actually triggered the lowest probability of a gift move, resulting in destructive power comparable to ultimate moves of various attributes.

The movebook records a power of 120 points.

Caught off guard, at such close range, a single shot was enough to render them incapable of fighting.

I never imagined that such a small gift could cause so much damage.

When everyone looked at Togepi, they saw that it also had a blank look on its face. After a long while, it reacted and pounced towards Xia Yan with its short legs.

Is it really just a coincidence?

Or was it luck?

It must be that Mosquito Coil was just unlucky.

Such an adorable Togepi shouldn't have any bad intentions.

After a moment of surprise, the referee announced with a somewhat strange expression, "The winner is Togepi!"

“Cha-ke-yi—”

Togepi nestled in Xia Yan's arms, quietly raising its head and blinking, showing no trace of its earlier fear.

Xia Yan smiled without any trace.

This was the tactic he and Pokerby devised yesterday: no matter who the opponent was, they would first try to charm it, then give it a gift. Regardless of the outcome, at least they would gain the upper hand.

In retrospect, Pokerby's acting skills are also excellent.

The other party did not have much of a sense of vigilance towards him.

Victory in the first battle.

Win one more game and you'll be eligible for the prize draw.

The Poliwag trainer dejectedly put away Poliwag. He wanted to say something, but his words were drowned out by the cheers of the audience.

soon.

Xia Yan's second opponent appeared before him.

She was a cute girl with pigtails, wearing a pink dress, and she didn't seem to be very old.

Their vibrant and youthful appearance has garnered considerable attention.

The girl had clearly won a round as well; she and Xia Yan each only had one chance to enter the lottery.

"Please send out your elves," the referee announced, holding up his flag.

The girl had a confident smile on her face; she had just witnessed the battle between Togepi and Poliwag.

In her opinion, Togepi was just pretending to be weak, but Poliwag was indeed unlucky and got the lowest probability.

She is different.

If you've prepared in advance, wouldn't it be better not to open the gift Pokobi gave you?

Throw out the Poké Ball.

A flash of red light appeared, revealing a six-tailed creature.

It looks like a fox, with soft reddish-brown fur, brown, amber-shaped eyes without pupils, large pointed ears, and most notably, six orange curled tails.

"Six-tailed—"

"This Vulpix is ​​so cute!"
