Why would you need a girlfriend when you have Pokémon?

"Mega Gardevoir?"

Naturally, most people were confused by the phantom that suddenly appeared on the field.

Obviously, Gardevoir had been substituted, and Gardevoir had just been hit by an ultimate attack. In theory, it had no strength left to continue fighting.

And if two Pokémon were really deployed here at the same time, Lowe would be directly sent off on the spot for a foul.

However, that phantom was obviously not the real Gardevoir. Combined with the skills Gardevoir had used before, the answer was obvious.

"...Can you predict the future?"

That’s right, it’s the technique of predicting the future and using telekinesis to delay the release of attacks. It’s a trick that can attack the “future”!

And just now, Gardevoir seemed to have sneaked in a move that could predict the future in its flurry of punches.

In other words, the reason why Gardevoir used those turtle punches was not because Lowe was venting his impotent rage, but in order to conceal his ability to foresee the future, and he hid his real offensive through a bunch of skills.

Everything is done to coordinate this shot at this moment!

The tactic this time is... inheritance!

Fairy Eevee passed on his power-up to Gardevoir through the baton, and also left behind a misty field...

... Gardevoir created an artificial moon through telekinesis, and used the power of prediction to leave a last-ditch aid.

Finally, the decisive round was handed over to Masked Cat, who, with the cooperation of his two companions, made the final move to win the game!

This is Lowe's tactic. Although Sylveon and Gardevoir have both left the field, the inheritance they left behind still helped Catman to deliver the fatal blow at the last moment!

He absorbed the remaining energy in the venue and the artificial moon, strengthened his Ultimate Z move, and fought evenly with the Ultimate Impact of the King of Leave. In the end, Gardevoir's foresight into the future became the last straw that turned the tide of victory!

Phantom Gardevoir and Masked Meowth worked together to launch the final coordinated attack. The two attacks finally hit the King of Leave. The next second, a pink beam of light rose into the air and exploded in the air, turning into a brilliant firework...

Beside Lowe, Gardevoir and Sylveon, who had recovered some of their strength, followed Lowe and gave their final farewell ceremony to the audience seats on all sides.

"Thank you all for this performance..."

Halfway through the words, the smoke and dust on the scene cleared, and the King of Leave and Masked Cat stood face to face. Neither side moved, as if both had lost all their strength.

The referee stood up excitedly. Now it all depends on who can hold on to the end...

...And with Lowe's final farewell ceremony, Masked Cat showed a confident smile, then slightly bent his knees and knelt down.

However, at the moment she knelt down, the King of Leave on the other side reached out and scratched his belly, yawned... and then fell to the ground on his back...

Please leave the king, the battle cannot be won, the winner...

"...Lowei!!!"

The referee's announcement coincided with Lowe's final farewell ceremony. After a brief silence, the whole audience erupted in thunderous applause.

Here, thunderous applause for the winner...

After Lowe finished his farewell ceremony, he stood up and found that his clothes were soaked with sweat. Although the continuous use of Ultimate Power Z moves and mega evolution could offset the physical exhaustion, the mental tension was not relaxed at all.

Just like a chess game, it seems that it takes a lot of effort to move your fingers to play chess, but the mental exhaustion is no less than physical exercise. There are many cases where people fainted and were carried away due to exhaustion from playing chess...

The suppressed nerves finally relaxed, and Lowe felt dizzy. Fortunately, his body shook a little, and he was immediately supported by a ribbon, a telekinesis and a soft body.

Sylveon, Gardevoir and Meowth all noticed Lowe's embarrassment at the same time and reached out to support him.

"Thank you~"

Lowe responded with a smile, then looked up at his father opposite him.

At this moment, the expression on Qianli's face was extremely complicated... After a long time, he took a deep breath.

"As a gym leader, I enjoyed an excellent duel. This feeling is really complicated. I lost, but I don't feel upset. Brat... Well done!!! Hahahaha..."

At that moment, the man actually laughed heartily. His laughter was filled with relief and a sense of hearty pleasure...

This could be considered a rare sight. The man in front of him, known as the "tough guy", usually had a serious look on his face. It was rare to even see the corners of his mouth curved. It was unexpected to see him laughing so happily.

But this feeling is absolutely understandable. As a father, being able to see his son being so outstanding must make him feel extremely happy...

...And for Lowe, this is also an important stage in life.

Although he himself didn't mind it particularly, before that, everyone mentioned him as "Chili's son"...

Starting today, this view should begin to change.

Qianli is probably looking forward to the day when people no longer mention Luo Wei as "Qianli's son", but when they see Qianli, the first impression people have of Luo Wei is "Luo Wei's father"...

In the audience over there, the mother was so excited that she held her head high and looked so proud, as if she was afraid that others wouldn't be able to see that that was her proud son.

Dr. Odamaki has been taking notes since the first half.

Although the Ultimate Power is still relatively mysterious at present, as the elite trainers in the Alola region all have inherited this power, the possession rate is not too low, and the Alliance naturally has done a lot of research on it.

However, mega evolution is still a secret among the people of Meteor, and is only circulated among a small number of people. As a Pokémon doctor, it is impossible for him not to be interested in this power.

Especially since the ultimate power and mega evolution displayed by Lowe are obviously different from the ordinary ones, this makes it more worth studying...

And in the end, Liliae was also quite envious and admired...

...If she had such power, she wouldn't have to worry about her mother's affairs, right? Although she has a strong ability to act, what Liliae lacks most now is the ability to solve problems.

Precisely because of the lack of ability, I feel quite confused about "what I should do and what I can do".

On the other hand, as someone who also lives under the glory of her elders, Liliae understands how much effort it takes for Lowe to be able to break away from this glorious achievement...

...It’s really amazing!

Chapter 206: Something Happened

The successful breakthrough in the fifth gym was also a big step forward for Lowe.

At the same time, the performance that Lowe presented for the qualifying round of the gorgeous competition was indeed in line with the theme.

Theoretically, the theme he chose this time is "inheritance", so as long as he successfully defeats his father in the end, it will be a perfect fit for the theme.

But Lowe naturally felt that it could not be presented so simply. After all, it was too tricky. Therefore, he also chose the corresponding "inheritance relay" tactic in his tactical selection.

The final Masked Cat's hard power is definitely not as good as the Leave King's, and its victory is based on the various cooperative help left by the first two partners. From this point of view, the entire set of tactics has been unfolding in line with the theme.

And at the very end, the fight itself was quite gorgeous. Lowe's punches were not only to hide his real killer move and predict the future, but also to highlight the stage effect. This series of big moves with sound, light and shadow were very good at least in terms of visual effects.

Moreover, the two sides fought back and forth, constantly consuming each other, until the last moment before the final victory, no one could be sure that Lowe could win.

In other words, the suspense is maintained until the very last moment, and such a competition is naturally much more exciting than a one-sided or formulaic victory.

Both sides put in quite impressive performances. Although it was obvious that Lowe's performance was due to the bonus of plug-ins, after all, he also mastered the plug-ins through his own practice.

So far, Lowe has obtained the Balance Badge of the Fifth Gym, and has officially entered the ranks of "elite trainers."

At this point, you can apply for a pretty good position in the league, but having reached this point, normally no trainer who can get five badges will choose to stop here.

Everyone hopes to make further progress. After all, they are only a short distance away from the ultimate goal of eight badges...

...However, once you pass the fourth badge, each additional badge after that will be a qualitative leap, and in theory, gym battles will become increasingly difficult.

But considering that Rowe has actually defeated his father, who is probably the strongest gym in Hoenn, the next gym battle, if there is any difficulty, is probably the eighth gym...

Of course, we cannot be so careless. Just like Qianli, before the fight with Lowe, even though he considered the possibility of losing, he did not think he would lose in most cases.

In the end, didn’t he still lose? Although Lowe’s physical strength was not as good as his father’s, at least he managed to win through tactical planning.

and so……

"...Do you want me to give you the gym's Kaiden certification?"

Qianli asked the question in a joking tone. He really seemed to be in a very good mood. Normally, he was never seen joking on his own initiative.

Luo Wei couldn't help but complain, "...I don't think I even got the certification of my own family? I'm just a name in my own dojo, right?"

Just like other dojos, in addition to the identity of the dojo owner, they also have their own professions. Lowe's father opened a martial arts dojo, so Lowe was naturally registered under the martial arts dojo since he was a child.

And Qianli’s martial arts hall is also certified by the alliance and has an officially recognized professional inheritance certification, and this certification level is generally compiled by themselves.

Starting from the "First Transmission", the next is the "Second Transmission", "Second Transmission"... and the "Second Transmission" which means that one can leave the school and establish his own school...

Up to now, Lowe has only obtained the initial certification in his own dojo, and he indeed has not had the time to renew his certification under the hands of his father.

Because Qianli's gym trains people, Pokémon training is also included, but the physical fitness of the trainer must also be taken into account.

It's similar to Fujiki and Shiba's humanoid Gundam that can fight against fighting Pokémon...

...Although Lowe is already a very capable Pokémon trainer, he is still a teenager after all. His physical fitness determines that without supernatural powers, he will definitely not be a match for an adult.

Although Lowe has never slacked off in training, his physiology has its limits after all. Unless he is a hero like the Wave Warrior or the heir of some other supernatural power, no matter how much an ordinary person trains, the muscle strength of a twelve-year-old cannot beat that of a normally developed adult.

Therefore, for this reason, Lowe has only been getting the initial certification. If he wants to get the intermediate certification, he must at least be able to defeat the adult disciples in the gym...without Pokémon.

This was indeed a bit beyond Lowe's scope, but after thinking for two seconds, Lowe suddenly spoke.

“Well, maybe you can try this…”

"Oh?"

Luo Wei's sudden remarks also aroused Qianli's interest. "Do you want me to help you prepare your opponent?"

"No, just prepare some sandbags or wooden stakes for training, but don't hit anyone..."

Qianli just thought that Lowe was afraid of being beaten and embarrassed, and he never thought about what Lowe was thinking... He was worried that he would not be able to control his strength and hurt the other person. At least he didn't have to worry about the sandbags and wooden stakes, he could just go all out.

Of course, before that...

...The duel between father and son ended, and it was naturally time for Lucia to give her final performance. It was Lowe and Qianli's turn to go to the stands to watch.

This was a live performance by the talented idol girl Lucia, and both of them had VIP tickets for the best seats, which was enough to make ordinary fans passing by envious.

But Lowe and Qianli didn't seem to have much interest in this, which made their mother quite helpless.

"You two, little Lucia is performing so hard, but you two have this expression?"

"...Well, it's really a beautiful dance, but..."

What Lowe didn't say was, I don't think she's as pretty as Kamen Meow and Gardevoir...

...Of course, this sentence really cannot be said out loud, and Qianli's answer is even simpler.

"But I still think your performance is better..."
