[Pokemon] Sycamore

"What's going on!? What exactly does Xiaotong's Lucario want to do?"

Although the two players in the battle had completely ignored the commentator's howling like a wolf, the audience obviously bought into the 'noise' that could arouse their passionate emotions.

Ignoring the commotion outside the arena for now, the confrontation inside the battle arena is also at an extremely tense pace.

Lucario unexpectedly plunged headlong into the destructive death light with the dragon's wave! ?

"Zizzssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssssss!!!"

Targeting the energy center, the violent energy continued to burst and spread after being invaded by Lucario. The scattered beams of destructive light shot out like stray bullets, leaving small craters in the surrounding area.

The out-of-focus sense of distance blurred the boundaries, and he seemed to be still standing on the same spot...but he seemed to be constantly moving forward in the energy torrent. For Xiaotong, the expanded senses were not just watching from the perspective of a trainer. , as if they were with Lucario, determined to completely crush the powerful offensive in front of them!

"Hahahaha! Not bad~ It's really great!"

The smile on his face gradually spread and the corners of his mouth couldn't help but rise. Xiaotong couldn't help laughing loudly.

"Lucario! It's time to show off your true skills!" At this time, Xiaotong's mind was filled with scenes from many past sparring sessions.

Lucario, it’s very satisfying to be a student.

"LU...KA...LUKA...LUKA LUKA LUKA LUKA LUKA LUKA LUKA LUKA LUKA LUKA!!!"

From slow to fast and keep increasing the speed!Countless fists criss-crossed, and the overlapping shadows smashed into the orange-red energy beam. Punch after punch, the light of destruction and death was dissipating at an alarming speed!

Lucario was able to scatter the destruction and death ray with just his fists! ? ?

"How... is this possible..." Not to mention all the people in the audience, even Mu couldn't believe the scene that was happening now.

Before everyone could close their unconsciously gaping mouths, the situation on the field finally reached a critical juncture.

This moment is also the moment when victory or defeat is determined.

"Go - go -!"

"Luca——!!!!!"

The end of the destruction death light was the target of this hunting. Lucario did not stop his fists like a hail of bullets, and punched Kuailong unceremoniously with the dragon's wave.

"Bump bump bump bump bump bump!!!"

In just one second, an unknown number of 'Medal of Glory' were added to Kuailong's body. At the same time as the light of destruction and death dissipated, Kuailong's consciousness recovered due to severe pain in an instant.

"boom!!!"

The only sound of falling to the ground announced the birth of the winner!

"Hoo~~~" The right fist struck out drew a graceful arc in the air, and finally the extended palm gently touched his heart, and Xiaotong exhaled longly.

"Couldn't have been better Lucario."

"Snapped!"

She stretched out her hand and fist-bumped with Lucario, who had come to her at some point and whose appearance had returned to its original state. The two of them, who were emotionally restrained, both showed cheerful smiles at this moment.

On the opposite side, Mu, who came to the fainting Kuailong, also made her previous promise.

"Referee, I admit defeat." Mu just lowered his head and remained silent for a moment before speaking to the referee.

"This world is really vast, don't you think so? Kuailong." He stretched out his hand to rub Kuailong's chin, Mu laughed softly, and looked up at the winner in front of him. What was left in Mu's eyes was completeness. Convinced.

"Appear~ appears~!!! The Quartz Tournament champion is born! Oh my God! This is truly an unprecedented fierce battle and will probably become an unparalleled battle!!! Let's cheer for the newly minted champion!!!"

Bathed in applause and cheers, Xiaotong looked around the entire Quartz Stadium, feeling inexplicably moved in her heart.

"This is...our first championship in life, Lucario. It's such a meaningful victory. It's a bit...addictive~"

"Luca~"

The fists that were against each other clenched further, Xiaotong pulled Lucario, raised his arms to accept the blows from all directions.

"It's very dazzling, isn't it, that girl."

In the VIP room, Dawu looked at the central figure of this event with an unnoticeable tenderness in his eyes.

"...A very incredible child, no, she is a very scary potential opponent." As early as halfway through the battle, Du put away his indifference.

Although she is still young, there is no doubt that Xiaotong's strength is enough for her to squeeze into the sight of their level.

"I have a deeper understanding of this than you." Daigo responded in a matter-of-fact tone. Du's words reminded him of the first encounter between the two. After recognizing his own feelings, looking back now, The surprise added a bit of happiness and gratitude.

Daigo, who was immersed in memories, didn't notice that Watari looked at his gentle expression in surprise.

Regardless of the reputation of this noble prince for being gentle and elegant to the outside world, people who know Dawu well know that those are just the calm disguises he wears on the surface. They cannot be said to be illusions, but they are only a gentler part of his personality. That’s all.

Even when gathering with friends, that layer of appearance would still show up habitually, so when Daigo showed concern and protection for Xiaotong without any concealment, Du couldn't believe his eyes.

As the game ends, what follows is the final closing ceremony.

All the men and women who have worked hard in the past few days lined up at the historic Quartz Stadium. With the band playing, the players and the audience welcomed the end of this conference.

This grand closing ceremony reached its climax when Xiaotong received the golden championship trophy!

The cheers that rise and fall can be heard for a long time. This is the highest appreciation from all the spectators present for the trainers who have given them wonderful battles!

Amidst the deafening applause and cheers, Xiaotong narrowed his eyes slightly and solemnly, deeply imprinted the excitement and emotion at this moment in his heart.

The first champion of the first competition is here!

......

"Uuuuuu...I don't want to be separated from you, Xiaotong."

Holding Xiaotong tightly, Xiaokui cried with runny nose and tears.

Originally, she thought she could travel with Xiaotong for a while longer, but she didn't expect that her grandmother would move so quickly that in a few days she would be thrown into a school that specializes in training Pokémon caregivers.

"Okay, okay~ It's not a separation between life and death. If Xiaokui you show your strength and perform well, maybe we can meet each other earlier." Touching Xiaokui's little head, Xiaotong's words are not necessarily innocent. To comfort her, according to the news she knew, students who performed well could directly use the field exercises as the school's own evaluation. Maybe ~ under which blue sky they would meet again.

What made Xiaotong dumbfounded was that when Xiaokui was being carried away by Grandma Juzi, she kept telling her to be careful of wild men with malicious intentions. I really didn't know what was going on in her head.

She always felt that Xiaokui had something on her mind... She didn't even dare to introduce to Xiaokui the person who would travel with her next time.

Since you already promised Dawu back then, it’s hard to go back on your word, right?

However, before Xiaotong and Dawu could finalize the next itinerary, Xiaotong received an emergency call and was summoned back to Damu Research Institute.
