221 Pachira: I'm not pretending anymore, I'm laying my cards on the table, I'm Champion level! [Seeking subscriptions and votes]
The trio passed through a long, dark passage and arrived in a conference room. The room was extremely dim, with only the faint light from the projection screen behind the main seat allowing Joker and the others to barely see the person sitting there.
"Welcome to Team Flare, King of Team Rocket, and the King's right-hand men."
Fladari, cloaked in black and wrapped tightly, spoke in a deep voice and gestured for the three to sit.
King's right-hand men, this was the new nickname the black market gave to Lihua and Superpower Little Fatty.
"No need to sit, because you're about to—."
Yishu, who hadn't had fun in a long time, was quite excited. Seeing the target within reach, he grinned and prepared to send out his Pokémon to take the other's head. However, just as Yishu reached for his belt, Joker raised his hand and held his shoulder, signaling him not to act rashly.
"Huh?"
Yishu's eyes under the mask were full of confusion as he looked at the other.
But Joker had already sat down.
Lihua on the other side was also puzzled, but seeing Joker sit down, she didn't say anything more and found a seat on the left.
"What's going on—."
Yishu muttered softly and sat down on the right.
Didn't we agree to attack Fladari directly upon seeing him?
This is different from the plan.
"As agreed before, the Destruction Cocoon is ours after we get it, and Hoopa belongs to Team Rocket, no problem, right?"
Fladari, who was wearing a black robe and whose true face could not be seen, spoke again.
Hoopa's ability was certainly perverted, but he didn't value it that much.
What Fladari really cared about were Zygarde and Yveltal, the two keys to activate the ultimate weapon!
Now that Xerneas has been captured by Pachira, the most troublesome thing is the Destruction Cocoon that Su Sheng carries.
"Okay, what's the specific implementation plan?"
Joker said very calmly.
"Tomorrow, Su Sheng will participate in the Youth Cup performance match at the Mi'aare Arena. When the match is over, Su Sheng will be on stage as a special guest to present the award. At that time, he will be separated from Hoopa. Our Team Flare will take the opportunity to steal Hoopa, and your Team Rocket will be responsible for resisting Su Sheng's pursuit."
Fladari quickly explained the action plan.
Joker raised his eyebrows slightly, "Su Sheng can completely bring Hoopa with him to present the award. How do you guarantee that he will be separated from Hoopa when he goes to present the award?"
Generally, the Youth Cup champion is awarded by the local alliance champion, just like the Youth Cup in Hezhong in the anime, which was awarded by Adek.
But because Grandpa Su was too popular, Karuni wanted Su Sheng to replace her in presenting the award.
But I can completely bring Hoopa with me at that time, how will you separate us?
"We have our ways, your organization doesn't need to worry about this."
Fladari said indifferently.
"Okay."
Joker didn't ask any further, got up and prepared to leave.
"Huh? Just, just leaving like this?"
Yishu looked dumbfounded.
Weren't we going to kill him?
"Or do you want to stay for dinner?"
Joker patted him on the shoulder.
Yishu scratched his head, Lihua glared at him, and mouthed "A Sheng will explain later".
Noticing Lihua's lip shape, Yishu released his Gardevoir and used Teleport to take the three of them away from Team Flare's underground base.
When only Fladari was left in the conference room.
A hidden door on the left suddenly opened, and a hot figure walked out, "That little fatty just now had killing intent."
It was Pachira.
Fladari's voice was calm, "I saw it."
Although his strength was not as good as Pachira's, he had at least crossed the threshold of champion level, so he still had this vision.
"Are we going to continue this plan? Cooperating with Team Rocket is tantamount to seeking skin from a tiger."
A few worries appeared in Pachira's beautiful eyes under the red sunglasses.
"If it really comes to that, we'll use that."
Fladari said in a deep voice.
Pachira's face changed suddenly upon hearing this.
The distance that Pokémon can use Teleport is determined by their own strength.
Mythical Pokémon or Dark Mewtwo, can achieve exaggerated jumps from one region to another.
Yishu's Gardevoir is naturally not so perverted, but it is still no problem to move freely within a city.
The three of them returned to a dark alley in Mi'aare City.
"A Sheng, why didn't you attack just now? At such a close distance, I could have—."
Yishu couldn't wait to ask.
"That guy doesn't have the aura of a human being on him."
Su Sheng took off the sunglasses on his face and said.
"You mean? He's a Pokémon disguised? Using Zoroark or Ditto or something?"
Lihua subconsciously thought of Zoroark, who was Su Sheng's special substitute.
"No, he doesn't even have the aura of life on him, I guess—it's a holographic image."
Su Sheng analyzed.
Although his Observation Haki was not as perverted as Bewear's, he could still sense that the Fladari didn't have the aura of a living being at such a close distance.
It should be some kind of illusion.
After a little thought, Su Sheng suddenly remembered that in addition to MEGA evolution, Fladari Group also had a major invention in later generations, which was holographic images.
Although it can't be as buggy as the Duel Monsters on the 《Yu-Gi-Oh!》 set, it's still no problem to use it for video calls and fooling people.
"Holographic image? This guy is really cautious."
Lihua squinted her eyes and said.
"I thought it was strange when his subordinates didn't ask us to take off our Poké Balls when we entered the dark passage. Heh~ After all, he is the leader of a criminal organization and the chairman of the alliance, so it's not surprising that he has this ability to predict."
Su Sheng chuckled.
Yishu thought of a question, "Then we can only do it tomorrow? But what if he uses that holographic image thing again?"
"This possibility is not high. After all, Hoopa is Team Flare's only hope to achieve their goal. At this time, Fladari should not hand it over to his subordinates, not to mention that he doesn't have many capable people under him."
After Su Sheng explained, he clapped his hands, "Okay, it's just letting that lion head live one more day anyway. Let's disband today, everyone have fun."
"OK! Then I'll try the Carole's special delicacy, Baofulei. I wonder which one is more delicious than Alola's Malasada!"
Yishu shouted excitedly and ran away in a puff of smoke.
"Will that guy ever have a chance to lose weight in this life?"
Looking at Yishu's increasingly round back, Su Sheng muttered softly.
Although he was quite round when he was a child, Su Sheng remembered that Yishu, who served as the Shiying Four Heavenly Kings after he became an adult, was very thin.
But this guy is also 14 years old, and there are only a few years left before he becomes an adult, and he doesn't seem to have any signs of losing weight at all.
"Lihua, let's go back."
Su Sheng turned his head and said to Lihua.
"Aren't you going on a date with that big-breasted girl?"
Lihua's expression was quite playful.
I don't know if it's because she had conflicts with Kona before, but Lihua doesn't like girls with big breasts very much.
Su Sheng: ——
More than half an hour later, in the Mi'aare Game City, Sonia, who was taking care of the children, showed surprise on her face when she saw Su Sheng walking over, but she immediately noticed Lihua following behind and felt a thud in her heart.
"It must be hard to take care of these three little things, right?"
Su Sheng asked with a smile.
There is no need to say how noisy the pirated yellow-skinned mouse is. The newly joined Internet addict Hoopa is not much better. Meiyali has a deep understanding of this, and Dianxi, although much more obedient, is too innocent and will be abducted if you are not careful.
Su Sheng felt that taking these three cubs at the same time was more tiring than playing a 6V6 match.
"It's okay——-"
Sonia smiled a little reluctantly.
"Are you unhappy that your two-person world has been disturbed?"
Lihua suddenly lay on Su Sheng's back, resting her chin on Su Sheng's shoulder and looking at Sonia.
"No, no! We're just friends."
Sonia said a little bit as if there was no silver buried here.
Lihua glanced at Dianxi beside Sonia's feet, who she didn't know, but looked extraordinary at first glance.
She thought to herself, if it's just a friend relationship, can this dog man give you such a precious Pokémon?
Kukui, Daigo and others have a good relationship with Su Sheng, why didn't he give it to them?
With Lihua's joining, Sonia was obviously a little restrained.
Watching Su Sheng and Lihua holding hands, Sonia always felt like she was superfluous.
Seeing Sonia's embarrassment, Su Sheng directly asked Hoopa to call his best friend, Rulina.
Then Sonia saw Rulina and Lihua each occupying Su Sheng's arm.
Sonia rolled her eyes wildly, what's the difference?
At more than 11 o'clock in the evening, everyone returned to the hotel.
As soon as Su Sheng returned to his room, he saw Lihua dressed up in a special way.
Hey, it's Magic Mask Meow today.
Before long, Rulina and Sonia next door heard the loud voice of "Magic Mask Meow" from the next room.
"That———Sonia, I have something to go out."
After a burst of embarrassment, Rulina ran out the door in a puff of smoke.
Before long, Sonia heard her best friend's round singing stunt.
"Dog men and women!"
Sonia, huddled in the quilt, secretly clamped her legs.
The next day, Mi'aare Arena.
Originally, the Carole's Alliance official planned to use the Mi'aare Dojo as the venue for this year's Youth Cup.
But since the news that Su Sheng and Pachira would be guests at the performance match spread.
The number of viewers has increased exponentially.
The Carole's Alliance had no choice but to change its plan and use the Mi'aare Arena, which could accommodate more viewers, as the venue.
In the player lounge, Qinglu patted Chi Hong on the shoulder and pointed to a blue-haired man of similar age to the two standing in the right-hand direction.
"That's the guy."
Chi Hong raised his eyebrows slightly and rarely spoke, "The one Dr. Su Sheng said?"
Qinglu nodded, "Well, he said he has a Charizard with a water storage characteristic. If I face him, I plan to use Yongjila or Big Pidgeot."
His current trump card partner, Tortoise King, is a Pokémon that belongs to the type of standing output and defensive counterattack.
Fighting against Charizard, the biggest advantage lies in its attributes, but if the other party's Charizard's characteristic is really water storage, then using Tortoise King is not suitable.
Chi Hong heard the words and thought thoughtfully, and did not speak again.
Su Sheng didn't expect that his casual joke could make these two evildoers so concerned, but it is true that Alan's Charizard has a relatively high water resistance.
At this time, the TV in the player lounge broadcast warm cheers.
Everyone looked up and saw that Su Sheng and Pachira, the guests of the performance match, had appeared.
And as expected, the Hoopa of Punishment, the number one target of Team Flare, floated on Su Sheng's shoulder like a little follower, reflecting into the eyes of thousands of viewers.
The heat of the atmosphere at the scene instantly boiled to the extreme, and many local Carole's viewers shouted "Be together" and other cheers.
Su Sheng, who entered the venue, glanced at the chairman of the Carole's Alliance in the VIP stand and used his Observation Haki, which was not very good but enough, to sense it.
Well, this time it's not a holographic image.
Before long, the two walked onto the command platform.
"Please give me your advice, Mr. Su Sheng~"
Fire Heavenly King reluctantly showed a smile.
As soon as these words came out, some viewers who were interested in CP or wanted to make trouble couldn't help shouting:
"Hey! It's different from what you shouted on TV last time! Heavenly King Pachira!"
"Shouldn't you call 'Dear'?"
"Did you break up already?"
"Heavenly King Pachira, did you finally choose that Balza?"
Obviously, compared to the Youth Cup, a competition with low technical content, everyone is more interested in the two people's affairs in the arena.
And on a helicopter marked with the Fladari Group LOG0, Balza, who heard these words through mobile phone live broadcast, became more and more gloomy, and Pachira, who was at the scene, was also not in a good mood.
Although she doesn't care much about the outside world's evaluation, a bunch of people on the Internet have been saying that she is two-timing during this period, and some people even come to ask her this question on the street.
This Heavenly King of the Alliance is almost broken.
"Hellhound! MEGA Evolution!"
Pachira quickly sent out her partner. She decided to use a big battle to temporarily forget these bad things.
Hellhound's comprehensive strength is not in the top three in Pachira's team, but it is the only Pokémon that can MEGA evolve.
After all, the viewing of MEGA evolution is the most gorgeous of the known enhancement methods.
And for something like a performance match, who wins or loses is not important, it is most important to play well.
Dazzling colorful light radiated and merged from Pachira's Keystone pendant and the Evolution Stone on Hellhound's chest.
In less than three seconds, MEGA Hellhound appeared brilliantly!
"Then I'll leave it to you, Altaria."
Seeing this, Su Sheng sent out his second team member, Altaria.
To be precise, it is MEGA Altaria.
"Mouth~~~"
The audience cheered.
After Dorasena, the current head of the Carole's Four Heavenly Kings, obtained MEGA evolution, her Altaria replaced Noivern as the new trump card in the team.
Therefore, the people of Carole are no strangers to MEGA Altaria.
But there is only one Altaria, or even Pokémon, in the world that can permanently MEGA.
"Fire blast!"
Pachira waved his hand and shouted.
MEGA Houndoom craned its neck and unleashed a violent pillar of fire, which split into five streams the instant it was released, forming a giant '大' (Big) character.
"Straight to the good stuff?"
Shigeru in the waiting room was taken aback.
Starting with a big move right away is pretty rare in exhibition matches.
Green, watching as well, furrowed his brow slightly. "That Malva, is she really just the last of the Kalos Elite Four?"
"Huh? What do you mean by that, Green?"
Shigeru turned his head to ask.
Red, as laconic as ever, said, "That strength—it's more than Elite Four level."
As soon as Red finished speaking, Sū Shèng raised his hand and flicked his right index finger.
MEGA Altaria opened its mouth, charging a light purple, dazzling light, turning it into a Dragon Pulse to meet the Blast Burn.
Dragon Pulse!
Instantly, two incredibly powerful streams of energy wildly surged, the red and blue energies constantly interweaving and colliding.
After a stalemate of about two or three seconds, Dragon Pulse gradually suppressed Blast Burn.
However, MEGA Houndoom made a decisive move, letting the Blast Burn push back onto itself, but in the instant before Dragon Pulse landed, it lowered its head and released Flamethrower towards the ground, using the recoil to rise to nearly ten meters above the ground!
Rumble!
The Dragon Pulse that landed caused the entire Lumiose Arena to shake violently.
But the MEGA Houndoom in the air had already launched another attack.
"Sludge Bomb!"
Malva raised her right arm high.
The MEGA Houndoom in the air continuously spat out dark purple, poisonous projectiles.
Not to mention Red and Green, even Diantha and the other Kalos Elite Four, Malva's old colleagues, could see it.
This Malva seems a bit too strong, doesn't she?
The strength of this MEGA Houndoom, even if it hasn't reached the Champion level, has at least touched the threshold of the Champion level.
You should know that the ranking of the Kalos Elite Four is Drasna \u003e Siebold \u003e Wikstrom \u003e Malva.
But—based on the strength Malva is currently displaying, it feels like this ranking is not quite right.
You should know that Houndoom doesn't even rank in the top three in Malva's lineup, even if it's MEGA, it doesn't reach number one.
"Have you improved without me noticing? Or is it—have you been hiding your strength all along?"
Diantha, who was a guest judge in the commentary booth, muttered softly, looking at Malva with a hint of curiosity, even suspicion.
There was no other way, after all, the incident that Lysandre stirred up during the Indigo Plateau war a year ago scared the higher-ups of the various regional alliances half to death.
At that time, the Champions and Chairmen of the various regions always looked at their Elite Four strangely.
Afraid of another Lysandre emerging.
Didn't you see that the Indigo League hasn't been supplemented with new Elite Four members all this time?
"Are you crazy?"
Sū Shèng raised his eyebrows and asked.
But because the battle between the two Champion-level Pokémon was so loud, even if Sū Shèng didn't lower his voice, no one at the scene could hear him.
However, Sū Shèng immediately understood why Malva was doing this.
Today is Team Flare's last chance to seize Hoopa. Whether it's Lysandre and Malva, or the other members of Team Flare, they are probably here with the thought of either succeeding or dying.
Anyway, it is highly likely that the existence of Team Flare will be made public today, in that case, Malva, the second-in-command, doesn't need to deliberately hide her strength.
Of course, there is also a personal reason, that is, Malva has been very irritable recently, and she needs to find a way to vent her anger.
"Hyper Voice."
Facing the poisonous projectiles that were already close at hand, MEGA Altaria opened its beak and released a soprano-like cry.
And in the sound waves, there was also a faint pink light mixed in.
With the blessing of Fairy Skin, the Normal-type move became a Fairy-type!
The Hyper Voice barrier blocked all the poison bombs, even pushing them back.
"Shadow Ball!"
However, before MEGA Altaria could counterattack, Malva launched a quick attack again.
The falling Shadow Ball broke through the Hyper Voice defense and landed on MEGA Altaria's back.
"This is really wonderful, as expected of an Elite Four member facing off against a Champion!"
At this time, Violet, the number one reporter of Lumiose Television, who had finally recovered, shouted.
Until just now, she was frightened, Malva was actually able to gain an advantage over Sū Shèng in the first round of confrontation!?
Even Diantha probably couldn't do that.
"As expected of the woman who can tame Yveltal—"
Sū Shèng's mouth curled up slightly.
He wasn't surprised that Malva, who was showing her true skills, could do this.
After all, this woman has tamed the God of Destruction in the manga.
Even if she can't reach the level of Leon and Lance among the Champion-level trainers, she can probably compete with the likes of Steven and Cynthia.
