Chapter 594 The Battle That Will Determine Your Future Family Status...
The competition schedule is very tight.
Just three days after the list of eight masters was announced, the Palace Arena was once again bustling with noise.
The first round was the "domestic violence scene" that countless viewers eagerly anticipated, and in the future, this match may very well determine Teacher Yu's family status.
Under these circumstances, the stands were almost full early on, with Qingyu's fans enthusiastically waving flags and cheering in front of every seat.
"Go for it, Bamboo Orchid Champion!"
"This episode is where we have the best chance of winning against Teacher Yu. We need to put immense pressure on Teacher Yu; we absolutely cannot let him have an easy time!"
"The Palace Arena definitely has a certain significance; several couples have already formed there."
Some Galar spectators even recalled the textbook Champions League final from over a decade ago.
That senior trainer, who also commanded Charizard, ultimately lost to another, more powerful female trainer, and sadly ended his journey.
His fans initially felt it was a pity, but then they turned around and saw—
What does it mean to say, "If you can't be a champion, then marry a champion"?
What does it mean to lose the game but win in life?
You're not willing to endure any hardship, are you?
"Judging by the days, it should be about time for those two seniors' daughters to go on their trips soon—"
"Is the Palace Gate Arena some kind of matchmaking corner? If he hadn't been in a relationship back then, that senior might have become the biggest rival on his path to becoming the Pill Emperor Champion!"
"Damn it, does making it into the palace arena really mean we'll get free wives?"
"And what's the deal with the Dan Emperor champion?"
"Didn't Mr. Dan already have Kibana? Shouldn't they count too—"
"Oh, my ears!!!"
With various amusing anecdotes playing in the background, the audience was filled with a joyful atmosphere.
Just then, three teenagers ran out of the employee entrance.
"Hurry up, the match is about to start!"
"Wait, wait for me, slow down—"
Nemo, as usual, lagged behind. After barely catching up with Pipa and Peony, she finally sat down and began to pant heavily.
"Nemo, your stamina hasn't improved at all this year of traveling?"
Piper's tone was slightly teasing.
Although I've always known she's athletically hopeless, she's run all over the entire Parthian region on her own and hasn't made a single improvement—
This could be considered a kind of divine power!
"With the motorcycle lizard, I don't need to walk myself —"
Nemo felt a little guilty and avoided his gaze, looking at Peony, who had suddenly fallen silent after taking her seat, and tried to change the subject.
"Speaking of which, I never imagined that you, Peony, were actually the daughter of the former Galar Champion!"
"Even that Mr. Loz is your—uh, uncle?"
"To be able to easily obtain even insider tickets to the Masters tournament, he truly deserves to be called a powerful figure with connections everywhere!"
Even Pipa nodded seriously.
"Indeed, Peony, you kept it a secret for so long! You're actually the daughter of that famous outdoor travel blogger, Mr. Pioneer!"
'
,
When this topic came up, Peony could only awkwardly adjust her glasses, seemingly unsure how to respond.
That's why I'm reluctant to tell my friends about my family situation!
Besides, your family situations aren't much worse than mine!
One family owns the largest stake in Rotom mobile phone company, and the other is the only son of a regional PhD couple.
"Let's not talk about that, the match is about to start."
Peony also began to learn from Nemo's approach, abruptly changing the subject.
"I wonder if Teacher Yu will go all out in today's battle."
"Of course! Teacher Yu isn't the kind of person who'll hold back!"
"Neither side has any reason to hold back, and perhaps it's a kind of luck to run into each other in a tournament of this caliber?"
The three of them chatted away, and time passed quickly, minute by minute.
"Ladies and gentlemen, welcome to the Masters Tournament's eighth Masters Group match!"
When the commentator appeared on the big screen, the audience erupted in another passionate roar, "Whoa whoa whoa!!!"
"The match is finally about to begin!"
"Teacher Yu, you absolutely must win the Bamboo Orchid Championship!"
The lively atmosphere ignited the arena at the palace gates.
Dynamax Rotom quickly appeared below the field, creating a protective Dynamax barrier for the stands.
"Today, we will witness an epic battle that will generate immense buzz!"
"Without further ado, let's welcome our contestants, who are..."
"From the Sinnoh region, the champion, Cynthia, possesses both beauty and intelligence!"
"Bang--!"
As soon as the commentator finished speaking, countless fireworks burst into bloom in the sky above the Palace Arena, their dazzling and colorful light momentarily overshadowing the sunlight.
Amidst fireworks and cheers, Zhu Lan, dressed in a pristine white final outfit, walked out of the contestant's tunnel with a gentle gaze sweeping over the audience, and subtly extended her right hand to wave to them.
"Bamboo orchid, bamboo orchid, bamboo orchid!!!"
"Win over Teacher Yu today!"
"I can't even imagine how terrifying the strength of those two children of the Eight Masters must be!"
"I'm a time traveler, kid! Amazing!"
Although the art style quickly became strange, it actually blended in quite well with the heated atmosphere of the competition.
Next, it's 2.
"The strongest Gym Leader and fastest Elite Four member in Padinavia, the nightmare of children on the Champion Road, one of the best mythologists in Sinnoh, the savior of Hoenn and Alola, the biggest dark horse in the Masters Tournament, and the only major streamer on Pokémon TV."
"Azure Feather, Teacher Aoba!"
"boom--!"
'
If the fireworks and cheers when Zhulan appeared were like "flames," then when Qingyu stepped out of the arena and looked at the fans with a confident smile, the atmosphere could only be described as the "sacred flames" of Ho-Oh.
The outdoor fireworks rained down like cannonballs, lingering in the sky for a long time, and the smiles of Qingyu and Zhulan appeared one after another.
"Hurry up, everyone! This is the boss's order. If we're slow, we'll be sent to the Crown Snowfield tomorrow!"
The spectacular fireworks display outside the venue was generously provided by Rocket Group. The busy Meow Meow trio, along with their other subordinates, were working tirelessly to move and ignite the fireworks.
Meow Meow, busy with her own things, suddenly looked up at the noisy arena above the palace gates.
The sound of fireworks exploding was completely drowned out by the cheers inside, making it hard to imagine just how lively the venue was.
Such a spectacular display is extremely rare, even at the Masters Championship.
"Just bear with it a little longer. After the fireworks are over, we can go watch the advisor's game, meow!"
With this in mind, Meow Meow quickly continued her hard work.
Meanwhile, in the stands, the clash between the Sinnoh and Padia spectators had only just begun.
"Go, Teacher Yu! Three more wins and you can go home!"
"Then he's already won the championship!"
"Why didn't you say so earlier?"
The Padmah audience clearly had the upper hand in terms of volume, which sparked collective dissatisfaction among the Sinnoh audience on the other side.
"This is incredible—Teacher Yu's popularity is just too high!"
"No, I can't let Teacher Yu win in terms of momentum!"
"Big Sister Zhu Lan, it all depends on how well you perform today to win over Teacher Yu!!!"
"Padiya is nothing to worry about!"
Da Ye and A Liu waved their purple cheering sticks, representing Garchomp, with exaggerated movements that made Wu Song and Denji unable to bear watching.
Whose superstar became the head of fan support? Don't you two have any idol image to maintain?
Oh well, never mind.
"Whether it's Teacher Yu or Sister Zhulan, they should both give it their all and deliver a fantastic match."
Denji laughed and cheered, while Gosho calmly nodded.
The two turned their attention back to the playing field.
Qingyu was already standing in front of the battlefield, smiling as she met the gaze of Zhulan, who was also staring at her.
He was dressed in a pure black suit today, a stark contrast to his usual casual demeanor. He looked more like he was attending a banquet than preparing for a fight.
Even longtime viewers have never seen Teacher Yu dressed like this before; at most, he's just cosplaying Adu's final outfit.
However, the reason why Qingyu chose to dress so formally today is—
Everyone basically knows the truth.
They had been looking forward to this battle for far too long.
Therefore, there is no need to say anything more at this moment.
For trainers, the best way to connect emotionally is, of course, a tense and exciting Pokémon battle.
His last encounter with Zhu Lan seems to have been back when Sunshine Dojo had just started to improve and Zhu Lan came to visit him.
That time, his opponent was Lucario, who had become an important partner and had grown into a grandmaster by learning from many sources.
At that time, Ibrahimovic was his only starting option.
The key to victory needed at the end of the journey may have already been hidden by the goddess of fate at the beginning of the story.
Therefore, my choice will not change this time either!
Noticing Qingyu's change in expression, Zhulan crossed her arms, a hint of reminiscence flashing in her eyes as well.
At this moment, they seemed to have traveled through time and returned to their most carefree childhood, and the magnificent palace arena around them transformed into the country lanes of Shenhe Town.
Young Qingyu held a red and white Poké Ball in his hand, his smile clear and pure, as if waiting for me to catch up with him.
Cynthia's eyes curved into two crescent moons as she smiled and took out a Poké Ball as well.
The regret of not being able to grow into excellent trainers together back then has now been fulfilled on the stage of the Masters Tournament.
So, let's have a battle, Aoba.
Zhu Lan's voice was gentle, but even amidst the noisy cheers from the sidelines, it still resonated deeply.
"Yes, I won't hand over victory to anyone."
Qingyu nodded solemnly, seemingly trying to appear serious, but suddenly couldn't help but laugh.
"However, even if we win by sheer luck, I will share this joy with everyone—including you."
"I'm really looking forward to it."
Zhu Lan smiled and responded, bringing the pre-battle conversation to a temporary close.
Both of them turned their gazes to the side at the same time.
Referee Rotom, who is in charge of the event, is trying to keep a low profile and avoid disturbing their public displays of affection.
Only after confirming that the two were ready did Rotom breathe a sigh of relief and transform into referee form.
"Splash splash"
"Both players are in position!"
"This match is a 6v6 all-player battle, using Master Rules based on the Pokémon League standards!"
"Now""
A countdown appeared on the screen on Rotom's chest, and for a moment all the spectators in the arena held their breath, silently counting down along with the countdown in their minds.
3, 2, 1—.
"Battle begins!!!"
On the big screen, the images of Qingyu and Zhulan appeared from both sides and collided with each other at an astonishing speed, giving the illusion that the screen itself was cracked.
Above the crack, flames and electricity crackled incessantly, and a "VS" icon lit up in the center!
Six red and white Poké Balls were lined up on each side, and the first Poké Ball began to tremble violently and emitted a dazzling white light.
"I choose you, Sylveon!"
Qingyu was the first to throw the Poké Ball with all her might.
A flash of red light appeared, and the incredibly serious Sylveon lay on the ground, assuming a battle stance and glaring fiercely at its opponent.
Even if today's opponent is Cynthia, I will definitely bring victory to the trainer!
"It really is Sylveon!"
A hint of nostalgia flashed in Zhu Lan's eyes, but she quickly suppressed it.
"So, my choice is..."
"Go, Lucario!"
"Luca!"
Another flash of red light appeared, and Cynthia's Lucario landed lightly, its hands positioned one in front of the other in an attacking stance.
"It's Lucario, the champion of Orchid Tree!"
"I thought we'd see a domestic violence scene between Lucarios today, but it turns out to be Sylveon!"
"Isn't that great? Teacher Yu's starting lineup with Sylveon shows he was really serious today!"
According to the tournament rules, the player lineup and the starting Pokémon are submitted to the tournament organizers in advance.
Therefore, Qingyu's confident decision to send out Sylveon directly must mean they had made thorough preparations.
As the person who knows Qingyu best, Cynthia obviously had already anticipated that he would make such an arrangement, which is why she specifically chose Lucario, which is more effective against Sylveon.
Fairy-type has very few weaknesses, and Steel-type happens to be one of them.
Viewers speculated that this would be a thrilling and intense match.
The result was correct—
However, neither Qingyu nor Zhulan actually thought about it that much or that complicatedly.
The reason they made such a tacit choice is simply because they "thought the same way".
Therefore, when Qingyu saw Zhulan's first appearance, she did not feel troubled by the attribute advantage, but instead smiled with relief.
"It seems we're on the same page."
"Then, let's put on a fantastic match for the audience!"
After saying that, Qingyu waved his hand.
"Sylveon, use Blood Moon!"
"Buee!!!"
Elegant ribbons fluttered in the wind, and Sylveon suddenly opened its eyes, its aura instantly rising!
The atmosphere inside the arena shifted accordingly, a relaxing pink aura subtly spreading outwards from Sylveon. Cynthia, too, was already prepared for its signature move—
"Lucario, attack with Bullet Punch!"
