A new day dawns.
This year's Galar Star Tournament has narrowed down to the final 16.
However, opening the official live stream reveals that none of the comments are discussing the matches.
【Damn, I used to think Su Sheng was alright, but he's so disappointing. I'm turning into a hater!】
【You're just upset that he's building a harem, right? Your homepage is full of Nessa's model photos, exposing you.】
【Upstairs, give this brother some face. While Su Sheng is enjoying Nessa's services, he can only cry and beat his meat to Nessa's photos.】
【Bea, my Bea, weren't you supposed to be my prisoner alone?】
【This guy is just a dick.】
Indeed, no one is discussing the matches.
The video released yesterday was too shocking.
Or rather, it made all the male compatriots in the entire Pokémon world envious and jealous.
At this moment, the live camera turns to the VIP stand.
The nearly eight-figure audience flooding into the live stream is completely dumbfounded.
Several employees wearing uniforms with the Macro Cosmos logo are seen carrying a large bed to the VIP stand.
And that's not all.
After placing the bed, Macro Cosmos employees add bedside tables, filled with various exquisite snacks.
Rose walks out from backstage and gestures towards the bed with one hand, invitingly.
Finally, under the gaze of the whole world.
"Su Sheng" also walks out from backstage and lies down on the bed in a "spread-eagle" position.
Nessa, who comes out behind him, leans in and gently massages "Su Sheng's" shoulders with her small hands, her eyes full of tenderness.
Rose frantically winks at Sonia.
Sonia's eyes twitch violently twice as she glances at Leon, who is a guest commentator in the commentary booth diagonally opposite.
Noticing his childhood friend's gaze, Leon smiles and waves at her.
Sonia's face darkens again, and she sits on the other side of the bed, picks up the high-end snacks arranged by Rose, tears open a piece of high-end chocolate air-freighted from the Kalos region overnight, and hands it to "Su Sheng".
However, "Su Sheng" slowly opens his mouth to the chocolate.
Sonia: ???
No, wait, don't you have hands?
Do I have to feed you!?
However, what Sonia doesn't know is that the Meowth had become accustomed to her feeding him back in Freezington.
Now, seeing Sonia holding food towards him, he forgets his current appearance and subconsciously opens his mouth, waiting for Sonia to feed him.
"What are you waiting for? Don't you see the professor is waiting?"
Rose urges from the side.
Listening to Rose's urging and looking at the useless "Su Sheng", Sonia can't help but glance at Leon on the commentary stage again.
The commentator next to Leon says in surprise: "Oh! Professor Su Sheng is appearing at the VIP stand again, but this time he's receiving Super VIP treatment. Chairman Rose directly brought a bed for the professor, and Gym Leader Nessa seems to have a very good relationship with Professor Su Sheng. Oh? Who is that orange-haired lady on the other side?"
Compared to Drayden and Lorelei, the "childhood friend" duo.
Sonia's popularity as a childhood friend of the champion is not as great as Lorelei's.
Mainly because she hasn't had much contact with Leon since he became the Galar champion.
She also hasn't achieved any particularly outstanding results in the annual Galar Star Tournament.
Unless one pays close attention to the research community, few people know that Professor Magnolia has such a beautiful granddaughter.
Just like Alder in the Unova Pokémon League Junior Tournament in the original anime, Leon, who is sitting next to the commentator as a guest judge, says with a smile:
"That's my childhood sweetheart, Sonia. She gave up participating in this year's Gym Challenge due to excessive pressure, but she seems to have a good relationship with Professor Su Sheng. It seems that she has come out of the shadow of failure."
Hearing Leon's laughter from the broadcast.
Sonia's face darkens even more.
Are you bringing up my embarrassing history of dropping out of the competition!?
Thinking of this, Sonia seems to treat the high-end chocolate in her hand as Leon and crushes it hard, stuffing it into "Su Sheng's" mouth.
"Su Sheng" chews the chocolate with a puzzled look.
Why so violent all of a sudden?
The live stream has exploded.
【Damn! Rose is such a simp!】
【Okay, I admit that Su Sheng is too hateful!】
【Well, that's how capable people are. To be honest, if I had his ability, I would have already hugged Nessa and started making out with her.】
【The orange-haired beauty on the right is Champion Leon's childhood sweetheart? It's the first time I've heard of her.】
【Found it, found it! Her name is 'Sonia'. She's Professor Magnolia's granddaughter and has participated in three Star Tournaments, but never made it to the top 16.】
【I wonder if Leon cares? His childhood friend is so intimate with another man, and he can still smile?】
【What's there to care about? Drayden and Lorelei are also childhood friends. Many people used to think they could be a couple, but so many years have passed, and I think Drayden and Bruno's intimacy is higher than Lorelei's.】
【Sonia is a little unwilling, but Nessa is definitely willing. Damn, look at her eyes, she's practically simping hard.】
【Damn, Bea is here too! Damn! She's starting to massage his legs!】
The live stream audience, which has exceeded eight figures, discovers that the top 16 players gathered in the arena to show their faces.
Except for Ryme and Larry, who are facing off in the first round.
The other participants leave the arena and return to the player休息室.
However, the director frequently cuts the camera to "Su Sheng" lying on the bed on the stage.
Soon, the audience sees Bea, one of the top 16, going to the VIP stand and starting to massage "Su Sheng's" feet.
The whole world is dumbfounded.
So much so that the referee announces the start of the match before the director reluctantly cuts the camera back to the two players on the field.
Ryme and Larry on the field are also confused.
Larry thinks to himself: "Mom, do you think you still have a chance?"
Ryme thinks: "That's Professor Su Sheng who invented the Pokédex? He's just too hedonistic."
Now Ryme is like a Shinji version, quite disdainful of "Su Sheng's" indulgent behavior.
How did things turn out like this?
It all started two days ago when Su Sheng left Galar because of Lillie and let a certain Meowth be his substitute.
……
……
Two days ago.
"Next, let us welcome our pride of Galar, the beautiful mermaid Gym Leader - Miss Nessa!"
Amidst the deafening cheers of the audience, especially the male audience.
Nessa, wearing a tight-fitting competition suit, showcasing a supermodel figure that is not voluptuous but definitely tall and slender, walks out with long legs.
"Nessa is the best!"
"I'm your fan!"
"Please release the new magazine soon!"
Nessa generously waves to the fans, but more than a model, she hopes that the public can pay more attention to her as a Gym Leader.
The commentator then shouts: "And Miss Nessa's opponent is the rising star from the Johto region, who is about to become a member of Galar - Miss Amarys!"
The scene echoes with applause that, while not as loud as when Nessa appeared, is still quite respectful.
Nessa looks up and sees a girl, about two years younger than herself, wearing a pink long-sleeved kimono, coming out of the opposite player tunnel.
"Good day, Miss Nessa."
Amarys puts her hands together in front of her abdomen and gives Nessa an ancient greeting.
"Hello, are you from Johto?"
Nessa asks.
"Yes, my dream is to become a top fashion designer. To this end, I am traveling the world. Professor Su Sheng's invention of the Pokédex will greatly help my adventure, so I came here."
Amarys says with a smile.
In fact, Amarys is more inclined to the Kalos region, which is known as the "City of Romance".
However, Rose personally met Amarys and promised that Amarys could go to Kalos for further study, but hoped that she could return to Galar to settle down, and that he would also hire top designers to teach Amarys in this area of knowledge.
Amarys agreed to Rose's invitation.
The two exchanged a few symbolic greetings, and finally, under the reminder of the referee, returned to the command areas on both sides of the field.
……
Half an hour later, on the large screen at the top of the arena.
The screen is divided into two, with Nessa on the left and Amarys on the right.
Outside the photos of the two are six Poké Ball icons, used to display the battle Pokémon situation of the two.
Five of the icons on Nessa's side have dimmed, indicating that five of her Pokémon have lost their ability to fight.
Only one Poké Ball icon with Drednaw attached is in a glowing state.
Only three Poké Ball icons next to Amarys' photo are in a dimmed state.
This shows that Amarys only has 3 Pokémon that have lost their ability to fight.
At this moment on the field, Nessa's Pokémon is Drednaw.
And Amarys' is Mawile.
The state of the two in the command areas on both sides of the field is also obviously different.
Nessa is slightly hunched over, a drop of sweat slides down her cheek, and she breathes softly with her mouth slightly open.
Amarys, on the other hand, is as elegant as ever, quietly observing the situation on the field.
"Drednaw! Earthquake!"
Glancing at the big screen above her head, Nessa knows that if she doesn't take the initiative to attack, only a crushing defeat awaits her.
Drednaw braces itself, lifting its two front feet off the ground, ready to fall heavily.
It is said that Water and Ice types are inseparable, and so are Rock and Ground types.
"Sucker Punch!"
Amarys suddenly orders, aiming at the moment when Drednaw raises its feet.
Mawile suddenly accelerates, and a dark glimmer lights up between the fangs of the large mouth that resembles a single ponytail.
When it rushes to Drednaw's face at top speed, it slaps it hard.
The retaliatory Dark-type move, Sucker Punch!
"It's okay! Earthquake!"
Nessa shouts.
This Mawile of Amarys is probably newly caught, and its level is not as good as her Drednaw, which she has cultivated since childhood.
Moreover, the Dark type is not Mawile's original type skill, so it doesn't do much damage to Drednaw.
Drednaw, after being slapped, stomps its two front feet hard on the ground, causing a shockwave.
However, at the moment its feet land, Amarys orders again: "Use Drednaw as a fulcrum to avoid it!"
Mawile bites the side of Drednaw's shell from the ponytail large mouth, like a pole vault, supporting itself on Drednaw's back to jump up, in order to avoid the damage caused by the earthquake.
"Oops! That's Drednaw's blind spot!"
Sonia shouts worriedly from the audience seat.
The shells of turtle Pokémon are natural shields.
But they are also huge blind spots for attack.
During the Silver Conference in the original anime, Ash's Charizard saw this weakness and made Harrison's Blastoise's proud Hydro Pump difficult to use.
"Play Rough!"
Amarys presses on.
Mawile rides on Drednaw's back.
Drednaw's face changes dramatically, wanting to throw the opponent off.
But... it's too late!
Mawile's fangs of the "ponytail" large mouth emit a light pink glow, and it bites Drednaw's back of the head.
This time, it's a home-type attack!
Under the gaze of tens of thousands of people in the audience and millions of viewers in the live stream.
Mawile bites down and swallows Drednaw's entire turtle... oh no, head.
After about three seconds, Drednaw's limbs soften, and it falls to the ground with a "pop".
And Mawile also lets go at this time, spitting out Drednaw's head.
The result is naturally self-evident, Drednaw droops its head, its eyes turn white and it has fainted.
"Drednaw is unable to battle! Mawile wins!"
"Since all 6 of Nessa's Pokémon have lost their ability to battle, the next round will be advanced by Amarys!"
Galar League's ace referee, Danpe declares.
"Amarys!"
"Amarys!"
"Amarys!"
The scene echoes with warm cheers. Although Amarys is from Johto, the commentator just said that she will join Galar.
How can this not excite the locals?
And it is obvious that she is a beauty.
Rose, sitting on the VIP table, strokes his beard with a complicated expression.
When looking at Amarys, his eyes reveal satisfaction, while when looking at Nessa, it is the complete opposite.
When Nessa and Amarys shook hands in the field and returned to the player lounge.
"Sorry, Professor, I have something to deal with."
Rose gets up and says to "Su Sheng".
Then he left the VIP table with his secretary, Oleana.
"According to the information we have obtained, after Professor Su Sheng discovered the Fairy type, Amarys, whose team originally had Mr. Mime and Granbull, discovered that her two partners also possessed the Fairy type, so she chose to become a Fairy-type exclusive trainer. Now she has defeated Nessa without taking advantage of the level, let us applaud her."
Leon at the commentary stage took the initiative to stand up and gave a smiling applause to this new colleague.
Kabu in the lounge shook his head secretly.
It's okay for you to encourage new colleagues, but you have to give the old colleagues some face.
Recalling the time when the four of them teamed up for a short adventure.
Kabu felt it necessary to talk to Leon.
……
"Next is a fifteen-minute intermission, and the next two players, Bea and Klara, are preparing to enter the arena."
"Now please invite Champion Leon to analyze the last battle between Nessa VS Amarys for us."
In the player lounge, the television broadcast continuously transmits Leon's analysis and the scenes of Nessa's Pokémon being defeated by Amarys.
Nessa, sitting on the lounge chair, crumples the paper cup in her hand into a ball, proving that her emotions are extremely uneasy at the moment.
At this moment, she heard the opening sound of the lounge.
Nessa subconsciously looked up.
She saw Rose walking in with Oleana.
"The model work seems to be going well."
Rose takes out three fashion magazines from behind with a smile.
The covers are all Nessa.
"Uh... thank you."
Although she didn't know why Rose was bringing up this topic at this moment, Rurina nodded politely.
"But, isn't it very busy to be both a Gym Leader and a model?"
Rose put down the magazine and twirled the bangs in front of his eyebrows.
"...What do you mean?"
Rurina felt a faint sense of unease in her heart.
"No, no~ I just think it's better for you to focus on one thing."
Rose waved his hand and smiled: "Since you are more talented in modeling, why not focus on developing that... what do you think?"
After speaking, Rose left with Olivia without waiting for Rurina to answer.
"President, is it okay? Her popularity is still good."
Olivia asked, following behind.
"Isn't there Mayi?"
Rose said calmly.
Today, Rurina's battle was too disappointing for him.
Facing opponents whose average level was lower than her own.
She actually lost by such a large margin.
In the past, Rose might have wanted to give Rurina another two years.
But with Mayi, an almost perfect substitute for Rurina, his patience with her was not so good.
Rose had just pulled down the doorknob when he noticed Sonia, who was standing outside and also preparing to come in.
Sonia looked embarrassed at the moment.
She felt like she had heard something she shouldn't have!
Rose's gaze lingered on her for a second, and he immediately noticed "Su Sheng" standing behind her.
"Does the Professor want to come in?"
Rose smiled and stepped aside.
Sonia ran quickly to her best friend without saying a word.
"Su Sheng" also nodded and hurried into the house.
He was a little curious and came to see what was going on after seeing his "meal ticket" running away anxiously.
"Wuwuwu——"
Rurina finally couldn't restrain the pain in her heart, covered her face with her hands, and cried out loud.
Rose's meaning was that she should not be a Gym Leader, but concentrate on being a model.
How could she not hear it?
Sonia stepped forward and hugged her best friend, gently patting Rurina's beautiful back to comfort her, while constantly winking at "Su Sheng".
Say something!
Sonia whispered.
"Su Sheng" looked tangled.
I can't speak, Chiumi!
That bad guy Su Sheng told me not to use telepathy, and I don't know your human language.
Sonia was still frantically winking at "Su Sheng".
She knew that her best friend had a good impression of the man in front of her, and his comfort would definitely be more useful than her own.
Are your shoes rooted to the ground? Hurry up and come over!?
Finally, "Su Sheng" rolled his eyes, quickly stepped forward, and then put his arms around Rurina and Sonia.
Feeling the warm embrace, Rurina cried even louder.
And Sonia...???
No, no, why are you hugging me!?
"Is Rurina okay?"
At this moment, Dante's voice came from outside the door.
After hearing about Rurina's situation from Kiba, Dante also felt it necessary to come and comfort her.
But he saw... Su Sheng hugging one and a half of his childhood friends (Rurina counts as half).
Sonia panicked and struggled desperately.
After Sonia successfully broke free, Rurina exclusively occupied "Su Sheng's" embrace, and her crying subsided a lot.
I just don't know why, but I always feel a cat smell?
"That, I..."
Sonia, who had barely broken free from "Su Sheng's" embrace, was about to explain, but Dante smiled and nodded, "I'm relieved."
He had just heard Rurina crying, but as soon as the professor hugged her, she was fine.
As expected of the person who started the era of change, he is so excellent in all aspects.
Sonia: ???
No, what are you relieved about?
The second update is dedicated, Rurina's strength is indeed not very good. The strength of the Gym Leaders in each region is mostly ranked according to the challenge order in the game. Rurina is the second challenge in the game, which can be said to be basically the bottom level. In the anime "Twilight Wings" and the official mobile game, it was also said that she lost to Allo, the first Gym Leader challenged by the player, which is basically the bottom first Gym Leader in Galar, but she is indeed beautiful.
