Pokémon: Master System.

With Old Master Chi gone, the Chi family's vast fortune could only be handed over to Chi Hanqing and Chi Hanxiao. Some of the Chi family's distant relatives also started to have wicked ideas and were making their own schemes.

Xia Yu followed behind Elder Lin to Chi Hanqing's side. Looking at her like this, he couldn't help but sigh and whisper, "Please accept my condolences."

Looking at Xia Yu and listening to his voice, Chi Hanqing's eyelids twitched slightly, and she nodded gently, her cool voice ringing out: "Thank you."

"Okay. You should rest well. You don't need to worry about the lab for now. You can come back whenever you've recovered," Xia Yu said softly, looking at Chi Hanqing.

"Thank you."

…………

Chi Lao's funeral was quite grand and of a very high standard. Four or five active champions attended, and many more retired champions also came.

Xia Yu stood inconspicuously in the crowd, attended the funeral, and then returned to the laboratory.

…………

The next day.

To everyone's surprise, Chi Hanqing returned to work in the laboratory immediately after Old Chi's funeral.

As Chi Hanqing appeared in the laboratory, everyone couldn't help but whisper and discuss among themselves.

Xia Yu looked at Chi Hanqing, who had appeared in the laboratory, with surprise: "Aren't you... going to rest for a few more days?"

"No." Chi Hanqing shook his head, his expression indifferent: "Life must go on."

After saying that, Chi Hanqing went into the laboratory and threw himself into his work.

Xia Yu watched Chi Hanqing's retreating figure, a thoughtful expression on his face.

"Good morning, Director Xia~" Sylvia's voice came from behind, gently patting Xia Yu's shoulder with a smile on her face.

"Good morning, Sylvia." Xia Yu turned to greet Sylvia, "Come here, Sylvia. I have something to tell you."

"what's up?"

Xia Yu lowered her voice: "Keep a close eye on Chi Hanqing these next few days, see if there's anything wrong with him."

"it is good."

…………

Saturday.

Just as Chi Hanqing said, no matter what happens, life must go on.

Xia Yu finally welcomed the G2 League. After half a month of promotion, the whole country paid special attention to this G2 League.

The streets were covered with posters.

Promotional videos were also playing on the large screen in the square to generate buzz for the G2 League match.

In order to create hype, the Pokémon Association specially arranged a powerful opponent for Xia Yu.

The previous year's college cup champion, Tao Su.

Both were champions of the university cup, but only one year apart.

The battle for the championship, a clash between geniuses, has everyone eagerly anticipating it.

…………

Backstage.

Eve stood beside Xia Yu. After half a month of learning, Eve was already starting to look like an assistant.

"Xia... Yu," Eve whispered, "The news just came that Xu Shanhe's match with Sun Zheng is over, and Xu Shanhe won."

"Oh?" Xia Yu was slightly surprised.

Besides the G2 match that Xia Yu participated in today, there is another match that is particularly eye-catching.

That was the battle for the title of one of the Four Heavenly Kings, between Xu Shanhe and Sun Zheng.

The match between Xu Shanhe and Sun Zheng should have been held much earlier, but it was postponed until now due to the Chinese New Year.

It was only officially held today.

The King-level competition is different from other competitions. The outcome directly determines the position of the Four Heavenly Kings, and under normal circumstances, the position of the Four Heavenly Kings will not change for several years.

Did Xu Shanhe win?

Xu Shanhe will then succeed Sun Zheng as one of the new Four Heavenly Kings of North China.

Sun Zheng... He only has two options: either wait at least a year before fighting again, or be transferred to another position.

“I understand. Eve, Xu Shanhe was my former captain in the patrol team. Could you help me choose a gift for him? Congratulations on his promotion to one of the Four Heavenly Kings of North China. The gift doesn’t need to be too expensive, just something normal will do.”

Xu Shanhe is different from others. He is not someone who values ​​fame and fortune. Otherwise, he would not have stayed in Qingshan Town to teach for so many years.

“Okay.” Eve nodded, keeping Xia Yu’s words in mind: “The first match will start in half an hour. Good luck.”

Eve stretched out her fair fist and waved it at Xia Yu to cheer him on. After working as his assistant for so many days, she had come to like the job.

"Ah."

Xia Yu nodded, then changed her clothes and prepared to go on stage.

…………

馆主g2联赛和馆主g3联赛的赛制没有任何区别，同样是采用1V1单打、2V2双打、以及两场6选3单打的比赛模式。

Whether it was intentional on the part of the organizers or just luck, Xia Yu and Tao Su were drawn into the upper and lower halves of the bracket, which means that the two will not meet before the finals.

Both players demonstrated their amazing strength in the competition, and successfully advanced to the finals with an undefeated record.

…………

"Dear viewers, I am your old friend, your host Li Xinhai."

"I am your host, Yan Ruyu. Today, Mr. Li and I will be providing commentary for the final round."

"First of all, let's give a warm round of applause to welcome our two contestants to the stage."

As the host's voice rang out and the spotlights flashed, Xia Yu and Tao Su simultaneously stepped into the battlefield.

The moment the two appeared, they were greeted with cheers from everyone present.

The camera also gave the two a close-up shot.

The title match of the university cup championship is enough to attract attention.

"Xia Yu! Ah, Xia Yu, I love you!"

"Peach Crisp, marry me!"

…………

Besides Xia Yu and Tao Su, many celebrities also attended the event. Almost all the dojo masters in the capital were there, as were Xu Shanhe and Sun Zheng, who had just finished their match. There were countless other stars and internet celebrities, making it seem like they were walking a red carpet, dressed in their finest attire.

"Today's match is also the one everyone is most looking forward to. First, let me introduce the lineups of both sides."

"Xia Yu's side remains largely unchanged, with the six Pokémon forming a three-dragon lineup led by Dragapult, Salamence, and Haxorus."

"The remaining three Pokémon are the incredibly powerful Indeedee, Gengar, and the newly added Volcarona."

"Compared to the G3 match, Xia Yu simply replaced the Flame Ace in the team with Vulcan."

"This is the first time this fire moth has appeared, let's look forward to its performance."

After introducing Xia Yu's team, the host then introduced Tao Su's team: "Tao Su's team is also quite luxurious, with every Pokémon possessing both strength and good looks. They are also jokingly referred to by netizens as the 'internet celebrity team'."

"Peach Crisp's lineup consists of Duraludon, Primarina, Snorlax, Togekiss, Excadrill, and the newly introduced Goodra!"

"Similarly, Peach Crisp's Goomy Dragon is also making its first appearance. It seems that Xia Yu's secret weapon is Volcano Moth, while Peach Crisp's secret weapon is Goomy Dragon."

Who will win this match? Let's wait and see.

"The match between the university cup champions is about to begin!"

…………

Chapter 627 Xia Yu vs. Peach Crisp

Tao Su's gaze fell on Xia Yu, her eyes blazing with fighting spirit.

Tao Su has always had absolute confidence in herself, and she also has the strength to match that confidence.

Since she became a trainer, she has only lost one match in all her competitions against her peers.

She lost to Wei Xianzhe, the university cup champion who was a year ahead of her.

Apart from that, she was undefeated.

Looking at Xia Yu opposite her, Tao Su was not confident of victory. Even if she brought out her ace Pokémon Goodra, she still was not sure of winning.

Facing the powerful Xia Yu, Tao Su's eyes blazed with fighting spirit, and her face revealed an excited expression.

Only through such battles between strong individuals can one continuously grow stronger.

"Xia Yu!" Tao Su raised her fair chin, then held up the Poké Ball in her hand and shouted at Xia Yu, "Give it your all!"

"Game start!"

The referee waved the flag, signaling the start of the match.
