Why would you need a girlfriend when you have Pokémon?

Lowe proposed a two-player battle here, obviously to get Lillie to team up with him. The main purpose was certainly not to let Lillie fight, but to allow Lillie's Magikarp to gain experience and grow quickly.

Before evolving into Gyarados, Magikarp's fighting power was really useless. It only had one move, Water Splash, and a hit that had no power at all, which it only learned at level 15.

Under this premise, it is necessary to quickly raise its level so that it can evolve into a Gyarados in order to form an effective combat force...

Fortunately, Magikarp only needs to reach level 20 to evolve, and it can also achieve special evolution by accumulating "anger". Of course, compared to the latter, the former is obviously more convenient, and the experience of level 20 is a piece of cake for Lowe now.

After hearing Lowe's proposal, Liliae understood it, but she didn't think much about it. She just spoke a little embarrassedly.

"But, will it hold Lowe back?"

"Haha, if Liliae is willing to wear a cheerleading uniform and dance for the team, I think it would be a great spiritual buff~"

"Ah wu..."

These words instantly made the girl blush. Although for Lowe, who had appreciated various "works of art" in his previous life, the cheerleading uniform was not as clear as Sukuna and could not be clearer, but for an innocent girl like Liliae, it was indeed a bit stimulating.

On the other hand, the masked cat on the side came over excitedly, but Lowe pressed his hand on his head and rubbed it helplessly twice, "Don't join in the fun, my good princess~"

It's just the contrast of Liliae being shy. As for Kamen Meow, who wouldn't be shy at all even if she was wearing a cheerleading uniform, that's boring.

But if he has to wear other costumes that would make Masked Cat shy, Lowe would not be happy. This kind of thing can be enjoyed in private, how can he put it on the table for others to see?

After stroking the big cat's fur, Lowe loosened his hand, picked up the Fairy Eevee beside him, and smiled at Lillie, "Just kidding. Anyway, don't worry about being a drag. No one is good at growing up~"

After all, no one is born knowing how to do things, so don’t we all have to learn from scratch? It’s just a matter of talent.

And Lowe believes that Liliae has a strong talent, but this talent needs to be triggered through special methods.

Again, Lillie is best suited to cheerleading tactics, providing only emotional value, and leaving the rest to the Pokémon's own judgment.

Believing that the "love and bond" between Pokémon can break through all obstacles, this is the so-called bond flow tactic...

"Anyway, why don't we just find someone to give it a try? As for the target... well, those two reporters over there who are hiding for some reason, could you two be my opponents?"

As Lowe said this, he stopped and looked at the two figures who were trying to hide in the shade of the trees.

They were a duo consisting of a man and a woman. The man was carrying a small camera and the woman was holding an interview book and a microphone. After being discovered by Lowe, they both looked embarrassed.

"Ahaha, as expected, we were discovered immediately. Sorry, sorry, we didn't mean to hide secretly..."

The female in the duo came up and put her hands together to apologize, but Lowe didn't care and asked calmly, "So, what are you two doing?"

"Ahem, my name is Mary, and this is my partner Xiao Dai. We are reporters from Zijin City Radio Station, and we are not suspicious people..."

As they talked, the two took out their interview cards to prove their identities...

"Anyway, can we interview you, Lord Lowe?"

Chapter 224: Reporter Duo: "I got up and killed him in one move"

The duo of reporters from Violet City, Mary and Xiao Dai, can be considered old friends in the game, because they can be challenged repeatedly and their positions are refreshed at a fixed time. In addition, the experience points of trainers' Pokémon are much higher than those of wild Pokémon, so you can also make money by the way.

Therefore, in the mid-term, you can repeatedly gain experience and money through these two. As for the late stage, you must go to find the Four Heavenly Kings of ATMs.

"We watched the duel between Lord Lowe and Lord Qianli before, it was really exciting!"

Because at that time Lowe went to negotiate with the organizing committee of the Gorgeous Contest and combined his battle with his father with the qualifying match of the Gorgeous Contest. After obtaining the approval of the organizing committee, the match was broadcast live in the Hoenn region.

After all, Chisato is also a powerful trainer with top popularity in the Hoenn region. Lowe is the most popular newcomer among his peers. After this battle, there is also Lukia's performance, which can be said to be full of topics.

Therefore, once the show was broadcast, it immediately gained quite astonishing ratings, and Lowe has gone from being a highly-anticipated newcomer to a hot top star.

After all, being able to defeat Qianli in a battle like that proved that he was already a legitimate gym leader, and his combat power was even approaching the level of the Four Heavenly Kings. No matter how you look at it... this can no longer be said to be the level of a newcomer.

Of course, considering that this world just had an even more unreasonable wall-hanging that refreshed everyone's perception of "genius", although Lowe's performance was quite terrifying, compared with Chihong's achievement of breaking through the Quartz League and becoming the champion at the age of ten, it was not that excessive.

If this were somewhere else, Lowe's performance would be dazzlingly brilliant, but here, it's not even enough to be considered the best...

I can only say that this is the world of Pokémon, where miracles are everywhere~

But no matter what, a genius like Chihong who refreshes the public's cognition once in a thousand years is ultimately hard to come by. In comparison, someone like Lowe can be considered a once-in-a-century talent, which is at least within the range that normal people can accept.

So, the duo, who are reporters, followed Lowe all the way here, hoping to interview him in person.

In fact, there are still many reporters like these two in Hoenn, but only a few of them are so active. They had inquired in many places before and finally locked onto Lowe's whereabouts. When they went to see him, they suddenly started to worry whether it would be too abrupt to come up and talk to him directly.

After all, at this moment, they seemed to have just come to their senses and realized that this behavior of suddenly coming to their door to ask for an interview was no different from that of the paparazzi.

While he was struggling, Lowe discovered his whereabouts and he directly confessed his identity.

"Sorry, we didn't mean to follow you secretly. We just didn't find the right time to come up and talk to you. Well, we definitely didn't take any secret photos. You can check our cameras and navigators..."

After hearing this, Lowe naturally waved his hand quickly, "No need, no need, I believe you didn't say anything, um, my partner told me so~"

As he spoke, Lowe gestured to Gardevoir behind him. The Queen of Psycho remained silent like a well-behaved little maid, but smiled and tilted her head. However, deep in her beautiful eyes, there shone a light that seemed to be able to see through people's hearts.

The Psychic Queen Gardevoir, its degenerated form Ralts has the ability to read other people's minds through telepathy. After evolving into Gardevoir, this ability is further strengthened, almost to the point of being able to read minds.

As journalists, the two of them naturally knew this kind of knowledge. After all, journalism is a profession that requires considerable experience. Otherwise, it is inevitable that some terrible tragedies like the "ancestral meat Ganoderma lucidum" will be caused.

In short, the two were very clear about Gardevoir's mind-reading ability, so they understood that it was not so much that Lowe believed them, but rather that Gardevoir relied on telepathy to confirm that the two of them were indeed not lying.

The reason why Lowe was able to discover them was naturally because of Gardevoir. She now always has her telekinesis open to form a scanning network around them. Under normal circumstances, when Gardevoir releases her telekinesis, it can see everything within a radius of several kilometers. Of course, under normal circumstances, there is no need to go that far. Generally, this telekinesis scan is only maintained at a distance of more than a hundred meters.

But this is enough to make it impossible for ordinary trackers and people with bad intentions to hide. It can only be said that this is the ability of Pokémon, which is indeed very useful and convenient.

"...In short, you two want to interview me, right?" After seeing the two nodding, Lowe also smiled, "That's great, two on two, let's have a team battle. If you can last ten minutes, I will agree to your interview~"

“…Ah, thank you so much!”

The two were immediately overjoyed, while Lowe said with a smile, "I didn't say I would agree to this. The condition is that you can hold on for ten minutes~"

"No problem..." Mary raised her Poké Ball seriously, "We often have to run around outside, and I have obtained two badges, so please give me your advice!"

"Hmm, nice momentum~"

Indeed, after all, journalists have to collect news materials on the front line. If they have no combat effectiveness at all, that will absolutely not work.

However, being able to obtain two badges does make her more powerful than the average trainer. With such abilities, she also became a reporter. It seems that she really likes this job.

Otherwise, you should be able to find a better job within the league.

This is indeed the case. Mary likes her job as a reporter very much. However, the biggest problem now is that the news agency she belongs to has been operating less and less well recently.

Therefore, she urgently needed a big news, so she took the initiative to find Lowe. If it was this young trainer who has been in the limelight recently, she would definitely be able to interview him and get some very explosive news.

As for the conditions given by Lowe, she thought there was no problem with them. After all, they didn't have to win, they just had to hold on for ten minutes. In her opinion, this shouldn't be a big problem.

The opponent is very strong, but no matter what, it shouldn't be that difficult to just persist...

This perception was completely shattered in less than two minutes...

With a whistling sound of strong wind, she released the three-in-one Magneto, who was forced close to her by Catman. She didn't even have time to see how the other party attacked. After a burst of pink light, she flew backwards and was killed instantly on the spot.

Lowe didn't use any cheats at all, and the outcome was decided in a split second...

"Sorry, we'll take the first city~"

"..."

Chapter 225: Big News

"!"

However, after just one encounter, the three-in-one Magnetron sent by Mary didn't even last two minutes, and was instantly killed by Lowe in one move...

Looking at the three-in-one Magneto flying away, the reporter's face still had a confused expression. She obviously hadn't come back to her senses, as if she didn't understand what had just happened at all.

"……Oops!"

On the other side, the photographer Xiao Dai's Sonic Monster was also forced to the front by the Masked Cat that was following closely behind.

Because the speed was so fast, Xiao Dai could only raise his hand hastily. In an instant, a deafening roar erupted from the holes all over the body of the Sonic Monster!

The illustration shows that the long roar of the Sonic Monster can be heard ten kilometers away, and this skill of transforming sound waves into actual impact to attack is its signature stunt "Sonic Explosion"!

As the explosive sonic wave swept over, sand and rocks flew everywhere in an instant, and the invisible sound wave turned into a surging air wave, attacking with a loud bang.

But the Masked Cat did not dodge or evade. It jumped up and raised its long furry black silk legs, then kicked down from top to bottom!

This kick split the incoming air wave in half right in the middle. The two parts of the air wave flew away from Lowe's side at the same time, but did not hit the Masked Cat. When the kick landed, the aftermath of the vibration turned into a black light, which burst out from the ground and hit the chin of the Sonic Monster.

The long roar of the Sonic Monster came to an abrupt end, and its body and feet lifted off the ground into the air. It could still struggle a bit while flying, but it was completely motionless the moment it landed.

"..."

One after the other, Mary and Dai's Pokémon couldn't even hold out for a single move, and up to now, the time hadn't been more than three minutes.

For a moment, there was only a long silence on the scene...

Lowe had said before that as long as the two could hold out in his hands for more than ten minutes, he would accept the interview invitation. However, he did not expect that the two, who had obtained two badges after all, could not even last a single round in front of Lowe.

He didn't even use any of Lowe's big moves, such as mega evolution, ultimate power, and ultimate secret. He just used techniques like skill form transformation to successfully suppress the battle situation.

This was a 2V2 battle. As for Liliae on the other side, she just let Magikarp appear wearing a learning device and act cute, and the battle was over on the spot.

"Ahahaha, that's fast!"

Liliae couldn't help but complain. She was just worried about the 2V2 situation and whether her appearance would drag down Lowe. She didn't expect that Lowe would knock the opponent down so easily right from the start, which meant that Liliae gained experience for nothing.

Originally, Lowe asked Lillie to team up with him just to let Lillie follow behind and gain experience. But when the battle was over, Mary and Xiao Dai reluctantly took back their Pokémon and let out a long sigh.

"So strong! No wonder we were able to defeat the serious Lord Qianli. I didn't expect that we couldn't even last three minutes. It seems that we were too arrogant just now..."

Speaking of this, Lowe felt a little embarrassed. "Well, it's not that exaggerated. The training methods are different..."

"Hey, the big news that I finally got started with is gone..."

Mary smiled bitterly. According to her, the news agency where she worked had been in a downturn recently, so she wanted to make a big news to revitalize her own news agency.

At this moment, the newcomer who is the most popular in the entire Fengyuan region is Luo Wei, who just defeated Qianli and showed amazing strength in the entire Fengyuan live broadcast...

...As Chisato's son, it was normal for him to be the center of attention. After all, it was said that he had successfully passed the league's test at the age of six and obtained his own partner Pokémon in advance.

However, he started traveling two years later than the average Pokémon trainer, but his speed of conquering Pokémon is indeed quite amazing. It has only been about half a year... and he has already swept through five gyms, which suddenly reminded people of the Wall-Hanging Man who refreshed the public's perception.

Naturally, most people could keenly sense that this newcomer must have some great news material. Apart from anything else, they wondered how he could have grown up in such a short time, and how he was said to have had conflicts with Team Magma and Team Aqua, which were causing a lot of trouble in the Hoenn region.

All these contents were enough to support a good interview, so Mary decided to bring her partner to block the person. As a result, she blocked the person and the other party agreed to be interviewed, on the condition that he had to last ten minutes in her hands.

They thought this was not difficult, but now they realize that this seems to be a rather difficult condition.

"I'm sorry, can you give us some more chances to challenge? I know we were too arrogant just now. After this, we will definitely prepare well and challenge again!"
