Pokémon, but cultural invasion

Stopped, Quanshu had no choice but to ask, "What do you want to bet?"

"If I win, you have to grant me one request."

When the topic of bets came up, her gaze became unfocused.

Dojo masters usually don't use their full strength in exhibition matches, but it's hard to say about Lt. Surge.

Quanshu countered, "What if you lose?"

"If you lose, you lose. You get nothing." Qi Shu's response was self-righteous.

"What kind of bet is it if there's no punishment for losing? But that's very much your style."

Quanshu suppressed a laugh. "Okay, I agree."

Having protected him during Sabrina's superpower rampage and even served as her bodyguard for a while, Izumi is actually quite grateful to this electric streamer.

"What's said is said, like water spilled; you're not allowed to go back on your word."

Qishu pressed his finger down on the corner of his mouth that he couldn't suppress, gave a perfunctory warning, and then summoned the Great Electric Seagull.

"I need to conserve my energy; I won't be joining you for a walk tonight."

A strong wind rose, and the giant petrel disappeared into the twilight.

Quanshu was used to her unpredictable style, and continued her stroll, finding it quite enjoyable to observe the vendors from various places.

He was pondering to himself, what were his thoughts about this gym leader from the Padia region... besides gratitude, what other feelings did he have for Qishu?

Probably...no.

......

The following morning, the Quartz Stadium was filled with deafening cheers.

The huge venue was packed to capacity; everywhere you looked, it was a sea of ​​black.

The league committee arranged a front-row seat for Quanshu, with a great viewing angle.

The participants, arranged in square formations, entered, took an oath, and left the venue.

"In the first exhibition match, Kiju, the master of the Breeze Hall from the Padiya region, will face off against Lt. Surge, the master of the Leaf Hall from the Kanto region."

"This match will be a 1V1 match. Please come to the stage, both players."

Unlike other regions, the explanations at the Kanto Quartz Convention are always brief and rigid, striving for efficiency.

Mascher appeared in a suit that didn't suit him, looking somewhat unwilling.

The moment he stepped out of the shadowy entrance, the oval stands erupted in deafening cheers.

No matter how bad his reputation is or how unpopular he is, he is still the Gym Leader of the Kanto region, one of the strongest, and represents the face of Kanto.

When guests from other regions came, the local supporters and those who admired the strong spontaneously cheered and applauded for him.

The audience's enthusiasm should not be underestimated; Quanshu has participated in several major events.

When thousands of spectators cheer for their opponents, sharing their hatred and frustration, while you yourself are isolated and helpless, you truly feel immense pressure.

As the crowd cheered wildly, the loudspeakers around the venue began to vibrate, and a few notes that seemed to come from a distant place gradually calmed the noise.

Short notes form a melody, and the sound waves gradually intensify.

The cheers stopped abruptly as people strained to listen to the rhythmic, rapid beat.

Mascherano frowned suddenly. Music could be played when the museum owner appeared, but he preferred the cheers of the audience.

Furthermore, because substandard music quality can easily lead to embarrassing situations, few people choose it. It seems that his opponent this time has a lot of leisure and refined taste.

The melody of Time to Pretend resounded throughout the venue, each key and each note short and powerful, arranged like a winding staircase that seemed to have no end.

The volume, the intensity of the notes, and the pitch all gradually intensify as the stairs are ascended, eventually transforming into a series of powerful blows that strike the hearts of the audience.

People's emotions rose with the music, and their eyes were involuntarily drawn to the entrance where no one was in sight.

The rousing music drew countless eyes, like a bright stage light.

Qi Shu, dressed in a light blue combat uniform, slowly walked out under the lights, his electric cape flashing with electric blue arcs.

She walked step by step onto the high platform, her exquisite face and gorgeous dress broadcast live to countless screens through countless cameras.

With musical notes as steps and melodies as accompaniment, this guest, who had come from afar to challenge them, seemed more like the main character making a grand entrance than the Kanto Master.

The melody of Time to Pretend rises to its climax, and the metronome is inserted in the second phase.

At the same moment, Qishu stood on the opposite platform.

The speakers stopped vibrating, and the entire quartz stadium fell silent, still immersed in the music that had just resounded.

Ma Xueshi's face immediately turned ugly.

They resort to underhanded tactics because they lack the strength, but this is just an exhibition match.

Of course, he won't lose the exhibition match either.

The music stopped for a while before the audience came back to their senses.

However, what stunned them was not only the music, but also the stunningly beautiful young woman who owned the museum in the Padiya region.

Beneath the silver-white crown with its lightning bolt pattern were a pair of eyes brimming with confidence and anticipation, their pink-blue pupils burning with a fierce flame.

Paired with an elaborate and beautiful princess-style dress, she exudes unparalleled charm from the inside out.

This guy... Lt. Surge gripped the Poké Ball tightly. Hey, that look doesn't seem like an exhibition match.

A chubby electric frog appeared on the battlefield.

"I have... reasons why I absolutely cannot lose."

Chapter 111 Unreasonable Demands

"We're going to lose!"

Mascherano felt a tightness in his chest.

A gem solidified with golden arcs of electricity bloomed atop the Electric Frog's head, further exacerbating the already disadvantageous battle.

Raichu, covered in wounds, was panting heavily.

"Damn it!"

Mascher cursed inwardly. Initially, he decided to sweep away this dojo master who liked to use underhanded tricks with overwhelming force, but he found that he was no match for him.

He then kept hinting to his opponent to go easy on him, since it was just an exhibition match and it was nothing to regret losing after a back-and-forth battle.

As a result, the opponent went berserk, repeatedly using heavy attacks, even causing the crystallization to be activated.

They were already weaker, and then they became too crystallized.

If Lt. Surge hadn't trained hard on Raichu's stamina and resilience after being defeated by a rookie from Pallet Town, he would have been defeated long ago.

"Fuck!"

A powerful bolt of lightning tore Raichu's skin open, proving that even a fellow Electric-type Pokémon couldn't withstand the force of the guy with the yellow fruit platter on his head.

Lt. Surge is in a bad mood. If only his Raichu could Mega Evolve, he wouldn't be in this situation.

People with an overbearing style will face double the ridicule and mockery when they suffer setbacks, and may even be nailed to the pillar of shame.

He no longer dared to imagine what the people watching the live stream were saying about him.

However, the chat in the Quartz convention live stream didn't seem to care much about Maszewicz's predicament; they were discussing other things.

"Does anyone know the music that played when we just started playing? I'm begging you."

"It's like hearing celestial music that instantly brightens the ears. I've only ever heard such a beautiful song in Crazy Elf City."

"Could it be a song from the Parthian region? Is there anyone knowledgeable about it?"

“I studied at the Orange Academy in Padiya, but the style doesn’t match; it must be a custom-made song.”

"What's there to discuss about the song? Don't you think this gym leader is very beautiful? She's just as pretty as Kiku."

"He's a very famous live streamer, and you're only finding out now?"

"The melody of this song is a little similar to the background music of the Dr. Zombie King level. I think it's produced by Tingxiang."

"Is the guy in front crazy? It's true that Tingxiang is awesome, but don't bring everything to Tingxiang, it'll just attract negative attention."

...

"Raichu's condition is not optimistic."

The Quartz Conference commentator was very concise, saying things like "March is at a disadvantage" or "Raichu's situation has taken a sharp turn for the worse."

Lt. Surge had a dark expression. Did he not know that Raichu was not in good condition? Did he need you to explain?

If I had known this would happen, I shouldn't have come to the exhibition match.

He stared at the chubby electric frog. This thing could return an even stronger electric shock if you hit it. How could he possibly hit it?

Lt. Surge secretly resolved that he would ask Giovanni to allow Team Rocket to research Raichu's Mega Evolution, either Magneton or Electivire would be fine.

Parabolic charging!

With a wave of her hand, Qi Shu Su caused the electric frog, which looked like a demon in Ma Zhishi's eyes, to open its belly.

A torrent of dazzling lightning crashed down on Raichu, leaving him no way to avoid it. After being brutally beaten, Raichu finally succumbed and fell into a coma.

The whistle blew, and the referee waved his flag: "Raichu is unable to battle; Killu wins!"

Mascher reluctantly reclaimed Raichu, and unlike his usual exits, he didn't utter any harsh words before quickly leaving.

"Come back, Electric-bellied Frog."

Qi Shu carefully stored away the Taijing Beads, as the next recharge would have to wait until after returning to the Padiya region. This was one of the drawbacks of Taijingization.

She raised her hands, basking in the cheers and gazes of countless people.

As a streamer who values ​​audience response, the Quartz Convention exhibition match was also a live broadcast that required a lot of effort.

In the past, she should have been basking in the glory and the enthusiastic response from the audience at this moment, but now...

Qi Shu's gaze involuntarily drifted to a certain spot in the audience, and she made a "V" sign.

"As expected of the top live streamer, he completely overwhelmed M. Surge."

Quanshu waved to her in response.

......

The exhibition match has ended, and the next step is the main tournament, where the top 256 teams will advance to the top 128.

There's nothing to see, because Izumi Kijima personally fought it.

He left the venue.

Following the notification on my phone, I waited for Qi Shu, who had come running, looking travel-worn.

"There was a huge crowd of fans asking for autographs at the exit, but luckily I ran fast."

"Isn't your outfit a bit too eye-catching?"

Quanshu watched her run, lifting her skirt, and even the lightning crown on her head tilted to one side.

That's why we have to run.

The strange tree released a giant electric seagull, and she leaped up gracefully.

"Quickly, mount up!"

"Hey, someone might see us."
