Pokémon: A Strong Man from the Slums

"Dear audience friends, the fierce preliminaries have come to an end. Now we invite the top 64 contestants to start the draw!"

As the host of the conference finished speaking, the sixty-four contestants who were still sitting in the contestant seats walked one by one to the high platform in the center of the venue and began to draw lots.

Number one beats number sixty-four, number two beats number sixty-three, and so on…

"I drew number three, now let's see who draws number sixty-two," Wang Chen thought to himself.

The draw for the top 64 was carried out very quickly, after all, the number of people was much smaller than in the previous qualifiers.

After the draw was over, a barely perceptible smile appeared on Wang Chen's lips.

"Oh my goodness! You want me to fight in the focus battle again? But it's good this way. After the battle, Xiangxun City will probably become more famous." Wang Chen thought to himself.

The one who drew lot number 62 was the gym leader of Aroma City, "Maxiu", a girl known as a fairy, specializing in fairy-type skills.

Of course, rather than being an expert in fairies, this gym owner simply likes beautiful and cute elves.

The most impressive Pokémon in her hand is not her main fairy-type Pokémon, but the pink shiny Haxorus.

You know, that's a quasi-god! What does it mean when a quasi-god evolves to its final form? How much will its strength increase?

But Maxiu just doesn't let it evolve, because if it evolves into a shiny Dragonite, its appearance... emmm.

The result of the draw for the top 64 also caused a lot of discussion among the audience.

"It seems that there won't be any strong clashes in the top 64. Judging from the result of the draw, the outcome is roughly determined."

"However, this round of 64 does have some highlights, such as the duel between Zygarde's envoy Wang Chen and the gym leader of Aroma City, Ma Xiu. Let's see whether Wang Chen will be gentle with women."

"No, what do you mean? Are you so sure that Wang Chen will win? Ma Xiu is not weak either."

"Is your ability to distinguish so poorly? Didn't you see that the two gym leaders in the Johto region were killed by Wang Chen? Do you think the gym leaders in the Kalos region would be any exception?"

"How can the gym leaders in your Johto region compare to those in our Kalos region?"

"What the hell are you talking about..."

Regarding this focus battle between Wang Chen and Ma Xiu, most of the audience in the audience are still optimistic about Wang Chen, of course, there are also many supporters of Ma Xiu.

After all, Maxiu is a very beautiful girl. She also understands fashion very well and is a fashion expert, so she has quite a few fans, many of whom are crazy fans.

After the draw ceremony for the top 64 was over, not only the audience in the audience but also the public opinion on the Internet was talking about it.

"I think it will be no problem for Wang Chen to defeat the owner of Maxiu Pavilion, but I don't know how many elves he can force out."

"Wang Chen has only displayed three elves: the Burning Bug, the Dragon King Scorpion, and the Crystal Lamp Fire Spirit. I am really looking forward to what elves he will take out next."

"It is said that Wang Chen came from the slums. He can be regarded as a role model for common people like me. I strongly support Wang Chen. He will definitely be able to enter the top 32."

"Fuck! Are you kidding me? Do you think that Master Maxiu is so unimpressive? Even though he has only been the Master for a short time, he is still very strong, right?"

"That's right! As a die-hard fan of the owner of Maxiu, I support her unconditionally!"

Most people on the Internet still believe that Wang Chen can win, and only a small number of Ma Xiu's die-hard fans believe that Ma Xiu has a chance of winning.

Regarding the focus battle between Wang Chen and Ma Xiu, some people have started "betting" both online and offline, with very high odds.

In the contestant seats after the draw.

"Chairman Wang Chen, you don't need to show mercy in the next game, just go all out!" Ma Xiu said firmly.

After experiencing the last catastrophe in Aroma City, Maxiu deeply realized her own shortcomings and has been working hard to train elves during this period of time.

Now her strength has increased to a certain extent, and several elves have reached the peak of the gym owner level and are one step away from the quasi-king level.

So even if the outside world is not optimistic about her, Ma Xiu still has a certain degree of confidence in herself, and she absolutely does not want Wang Chen to let her win during the competition.

"Don't worry, Master Maxiu, I have no intention of giving in. I will definitely do my best when the time comes. I'm just afraid of you..." Wang Chen said lightly.

As a big shot in the Aromatherapy City who has connections in both the black and white worlds, Wang Chen had naturally investigated Ma Xiu a long time ago.

The gym leader of Aroma City, Maxiu, has a certain background, but it is not very strong. She has certain strength, but it is just so-so.

The most important thing is that the owner of the museum, Ma Xiu, is still a young girl, a girl with a thin skin. If she is treated harshly, she might collapse mentally.

But who is Wang Chen? When has he ever been kind to women? That never happened!

At this time, Wang Chen had already decided which Pokémon to send out in the next game, which was his trump card "Nidoking".

Wang Chen estimated that if Nidoking used all his strength, it should not be a problem for him to defeat Maxiu in a row.

Nidoking's strength is already at the top of the gym owner level, and coupled with the fact that the poison type restrains the fairy type, the result of Maxiu can be imagined.

I’m afraid I’ll be beaten and cry by then!

"What are you afraid of? Wang Chen, do you look down on me?" Ma Xiu said angrily.

"That's not what I meant, Mr. Museum Master. Anyway, I will use all my strength next time, so you have to be mentally prepared." Wang Chen said jokingly.

"That's good! My strength will definitely surprise you by then!" Ma Xiu said confidently.

Afterwards, the two of them left the contestant seats and went back to rest.

"Why do I always feel that Wang Chen looks down on me? I must let him see how powerful I am tomorrow!" Ma Xiu thought to herself.

She also understood the meaning of Wang Chen's previous words. It was obvious that he thought he could beat her, which made Maxiu feel very uncomfortable.

She decided to teach Wang Chen a lesson tomorrow!

……

"Nidoking! I'll send you into battle tomorrow!" Wang Chen said.

Nido!!!

Nidoking was excited. There had been neither fierce battles nor high-intensity training recently, and Nidoking felt like he was almost rusty.

Now that he can finally have a good fight, how can Nidoking not be excited?

It can't wait to enjoy the pleasure of crushing its opponent.

"Don't do any training today, just have a good rest, and try to hit a series of sixes tomorrow!" Wang Chen continued.

Nido!

Nidoking roared, indicating that it could definitely do what Wang Chen said.
