Chapter 999: The Battle for Territory!
Chapter 999: The Battle for Territory!
Even though there were nearly twenty people from both regions combined, this 6v6 match didn't make the audience outside feel like they'd missed out on five dollars... mainly because Shen Yu's rhythm was too easy to control. In just a short while, the match video between Leido and Shen Yu had all been filmed live and then "carefully" edited and uploaded to Bilibili.
The six Pokémon on both sides were constantly sparring, unleashing a barrage of flashy and dazzling moves, but in reality, the damage they took to each other was negligible...
Leido's Elf: It didn't seem like this when you hit me?
After all, this is not the only battle; there will be battles between other regions later on. As is customary, these champions will always have to fight once or twice, otherwise they will become the newcomers' target of challenge until the next champion battle.
It's still... a bit troublesome.
The superstars are all incredibly busy people. Some are constantly on the go, some are only seen a few times over several years, and some simply stay at home and don't see anyone. Nobody knows what they're doing...
However, if someone challenges you, you won't be able to enjoy these wonderful moments; you'll have to make time to go to a designated location to complete the battle.
If you want to continue, you have to work hard; if you don't want to be in charge, you're simply released and the position is handed over. But correspondingly, the benefits of being the current king will no longer belong to you... Actually, it's quite humane, at least that's how it is in Dongyao.
Even after stepping down as a Champion, she remains a Champion-level trainer, enjoying the corresponding privileges and benefits. If she wants to advance to the next level, she needs the judgment of a professional. In Dongyao, this kind of work is not actually done by Lu Minxi, but by Zhang Zuo.
If you don't verify your identity, then no matter how strong you are, you won't receive any benefits or subsidies from the alliance... I'm not talking about people like Shen Yu who are supported by rich women.
Damn Shen Yu, your day is more exciting than my whole life!
This battle, full of acting and deception, came to an end. Shen Yu and Leido approached each other, bumped fists in greeting, and left the stage together.
Shen Yu's expression was slightly awkward, but he maintained basic politeness.
"Hiss~ Uh, Mr. Ledo, let's have dinner together again tonight~"
Leido turned his head, revealing a pitiful look... and ran away in a flash.
"Thank you for your kind invitation. Let's get together again sometime!"
Shen Yu's outstretched hand stopped in mid-air, then slowly lowered, his lips pursed and his shoulders shrugged helplessly.
"Then... maybe next time~"
…………
Shen Yu left the venue first—there was only one match between him and Leido in the afternoon, and the organizers added some elf performances to fill the time. But by this time, some audience members could already be seen leaving early. If they were delayed any longer, the entrance might be packed with people, and Shen Yu didn't want to experience the commotion.
"Hey, hey, hey, he's right there, go ask for his autograph!"
"Hmm...is this not a good idea? What if..."
"What if something happens?! Oh dear! Give it to me!"
Such a conversation was taking place in a corner when suddenly a figure darted out, caught up with Shen Yu who was still scrolling through videos on his phone, and put his hand on Shen Yu's shoulder.
Shen Yu: Hmm?
Shen Yu didn't make any exaggerated movements; he simply subconsciously placed his left hand on his right wrist.
Hey~ handsome guy~
"You looked so cool during the match! Can I have your contact information?"
Shen Yu: ?
Where did this energetic little... Nie Shuling come from?!
The girl, wearing light makeup, waved a peace sign in front of Shen Yu's eyes. Her face and temperament, which were extremely similar to a certain heroine in the famous comic "Changing Clothes Doll," made Shen Yu momentarily stunned.
You... how did you become like this? You weren't like this before, it was just simple flirting.
Shen Yu's blank and bewildered expression was perfectly misinterpreted as something else entirely.
"Don't you recognize me? You really don't recognize me?! Hey!"
"Ah! Wait, wait, wait! I just didn't realize... when did we get to Midio Island?!"
Nie Shuling's expression was like the weather in England, turning from cloudy to sunny. She chuckled twice and pulled Shen Yu's arm to make way for him.
I arrived this morning and just came out after watching your match!
"Don't rush, there's someone else who really wants to see you~"
Two years had passed, and the girl's height seemed to have remained unchanged. Her eyes were still as dreamy and hazy as before, but she looked less naive and more mature than she had back then.
Did you have surgery? It doesn't look like... it looks natural.
Shen Yu's gaze did not linger for long, which was rather impolite.
"Lan Wenqin, it's been a long time."
"Hmm...long time no see."
Yes, Shen Yu is sure, his personality is still the same as before.
Out of the corner of his eye, Shen Yu saw a bustling crowd starting to leave the venue. He pulled up the hoodie.
"The traffic is about to get congested, have you booked a hotel?"
Before Lan Wenqin could even speak, Nie Shuling stepped in front of her, blocking her way.
"Not yet, we arrived late, and it seems like all the hotels on the nearby islands are full."
"Then shall we go back to the hotel together? There are room vacancies in each competition area. Let me ask."
Lan Wenqin looked at Nie Shuling's radiant profile and tilted her head.
Ok?
…………
Shen Yu returned very early, but he didn't expect someone to return even earlier than him... However, the moment he saw the person, Shen Yu knew that something bad had happened.
At this point, we need to quote a famous saying from a trainer: "When eyes meet, a trainer must fight!"
So, when the superpowered girls' energy fluctuations align, it means... their niches overlap, triggering a special event and a territorial battle.
Shen Yu gained 500 more investigation points.
There might be some debris left on the ground later, so Shen Yu planned to deal with it later...
What are you talking about?! War is about to break out!
Shen Yu instantly realized something was wrong, and as the two super-powered girls were locked in a fierce confrontation, he flashed to the center of their positions.
"Ahem, what's the matter? Let's go upstairs and talk."
There were still quite a few people in the hall, and Shen Yu didn't want to be exposed here for anything other than "declaring a global challenge to the English region"...
Compared to the actual battle, Shen Yu was more afraid of the rhythm that followed.
After all, even Her Majesty the Queen is online!
Simple clashes of superpowers are not too intense; at this point, all that's needed is a few small gadgets to drive the other away—like the magical odor bomb.
Shen Yu's ability to bring two monsters upstairs at the same time is a rare sight in the world. Not only has Nie Shuling never seen it before, but Shen Yu himself has almost never done it either.
Solving the problem at its core is self-destructive and might even leave room for future problems...
"boom!"
The room door was closed, and Shen Yu breathed a sigh of relief.
The two super-powered girls stared at each other, but it wasn't a close contest; Lan Wenqin still carried a slight sense of insecurity—but the battle quickly changed.
It came from a phone call from Shen Yu.
"Hello? Is this Brother Min?"
"Come back quickly... There's something I need you for here."
"Uh, it's urgent."
