"Keep using Ember!"
Lu Li could only continue to command.
The speed of the Fire Vortex was slower than Ember, and facing the Swablu that could fly, Lu Li couldn't think of a better way.
Seeing Lu Li looking helpless, Long Lingling said triumphantly, "Swablu, be careful to dodge, and then continue with Attract."
Charmander used Ember, but Swablu still dodged the attack with its speed and aerial advantage.
Seizing the opportunity, Lu Li shouted, "Now! Flame Moonwalk followed by Flame Claw!"
Thus, a ridiculous scene appeared on the arena.
A Charmander stepped on flames and caught up with the Swablu in the air, and Flame Claw landed on Swablu's body.
"Swablu!"
Long Lingling looked at this scene in panic.
She couldn't understand why this Charmander could use two skills in succession while controlling Ember.
"What is this? Multitasking?" Long Lingling was stunned.
Equally stunned were the audience members in the stands.
"This Charmander's fire talent is truly heaven-defying."
"What a terrifying opponent, and the main thing is that this Charmander has almost no weaknesses."
"I heard that this guy is a commoner, and this Charmander was received at the League's Pokémon Center."
A burst of discussion arose in the audience stands.
After being hit by Flame Claw, Swablu fell to the ground. After landing from the air, Charmander continued to pursue, launching a desperate combo on the injured-winged Swablu.
When Long Lingling saw Swablu fall to the ground, she realized that there was no suspense in this match.
Charmander's terrifying stats had repeatedly refreshed her understanding of Pokémon.
"I concede."
Long Lingling shouted, raising her hand.
Lu Li saw this and ordered Charmander to stop.
"You won, I lost to your Charmander," Long Lingling said, looking at Lu Li with a complicated expression.
After Long Lingling finished speaking, she picked up Swablu and left the arena without looking back.
Lu Li shrugged indifferently.
Long Lingling plays tactics and is also quite cunning.
But it doesn't matter, in the face of absolute stats, any conspiracy is a paper tiger.
"Char~"
After completing a combo, Charmander, feeling refreshed, couldn't help but chirp.
Lu Li quickly put away this attention-grabbing package and turned to leave the arena.
There were no matches today, but he had two more matches tomorrow.
Moreover, the quality of opponents in the Southern Division was relatively high, and Lu Li was considering whether to send out Tropius.
If he couldn't beat them in tactics, he would just have to crush them with stats.
Returning to the resting room, Lu Li released the Pokémon.
Charmander, who had just regained freedom, couldn't wait to call out to Milotic.
"Char?"
(Milotic, was I cool just now?)
Lu Li: "…"
Lu Li looked at this attention-grabbing package with some helplessness.
Even Tropius, that honest person, couldn't catch Milotic's eye, could she possibly like you, a little bean sprout?
"Milo~"
(You performed well, I hope you can win more victories for the trainer.)
Encouraged, Charmander nodded excitedly.
"Char~"
(Don't worry, Milotic, I will work hard to win more victories for the trainer.)
Lu Li: "…"
"Little Simp Dragon, Milotic is PUAing you!"
Lu Li roared in his heart.
However, although he complained in his heart, Lu Li did not interfere in the matter between Charmander and Milotic.
Goddess and simp, in the end, one of them will be hurt.
As for who gets hurt?
Lu Li can only say that those who understand, understand.
"Milo~"
(Trainer, the effect of the elixirs on me is gradually weakening again.)
After PUAing Charmander, Milotic told Lu Li about her recent confusion.
Hearing this, Lu Li instantly became serious and quickly asked, "Is it strength or beauty?"
Milotic replied in seconds, "Beauty."
"It seems I have to start researching the Beauty Pill ," Lu Li thought depressingly.
He had too many things to do recently.
Finding a volcano to use a melting furnace to extract the essence of steel, learning the way of formations (finding those Unknown), researching spirit pills of other attributes (to prepare for his subordinates), fighting matches…
In terms of priority, his own affairs were definitely more important.
"I wonder if Nan Du has a black market," Lu Li wondered curiously.
After leaving the Pokémon Center, Lu Li was stopped by two reporters.
Different from the Qingyun City competition, the regional competition was no longer a city-level competition. People who stood out in the regional competition could already be considered celebrity trainers.
So Lu Li was targeted by reporters.
"Hello, may I interview you?" The beautiful female reporter had a kind smile on her face.
Lu Li glanced at the camera and frowned, asking, "Can you blur my face?"
"No."
The female reporter shook her head politely and explained, "There's no need to blur your face, after all, your match is being broadcast live."
Lu Li: "…"
"Okay, what do you want to ask?" Lu Li asked helplessly.
The beautiful reporter quickly asked, "I heard that you are a trainer from a grassroots background?"
Lu Li nodded and admitted, "I am indeed an ordinary person."
"As far as I know, you are the only commoner in your city who has made it to the regional competition?" The beautiful reporter asked again.
Lu Li shook his head, "I don't know about that."
He definitely couldn't admit this kind of thing. If he admitted it, there would be a lot of controversy in the news reports.
After all, the Asian League is now supporting commoners as the politically correct thing to do.
"Then can you share how you cultivated such an excellent Charmander?" The female reporter continued to ask.
"This is very simple, first of all, the cultivation resources must keep up…"
Seeing that Lu Li hadn't spoken for a long time, the female reporter with a smile on her face asked again, "And then?"
"Then there is no then! Keep up with the cultivation resources, and the rest is up to Charmander to work hard on its own."
Female reporter: "???"
The cameraman next to her: "???"
"Ahem, it seems you are very humorous, handsome," The female reporter, thinking that Lu Li didn't want to reveal his cultivation techniques, could only awkwardly change the subject.
Lu Li was also very helpless, after all, he was telling the truth.
His Charmander was cultivated in pretty much this way.
"Ahem! Your Charmander seems to have been received at the Pokémon Center? Did you know that your Charmander was shiny when you received it?" The female reporter continued to ask.
"Yes, my Charmander was received at the Pokémon Breeding Center. Here, I have to thank the great League, and then…"
Lu Li thanked all the people and organizations he could think of.
Seeing that Lu Li only cared about thanking, the female reporter helplessly reminded him, "Then did you know that Charmander was shiny when you received the Pokémon?"
"I didn't know, I received a Pokémon egg, how could I know the state of the Pokémon?" Lu Li gave the female reporter a 'are you stupid' look.
The female reporter continued to ask, "I heard that Gym Leader Yu of Qingyun City is your recommender. I wonder if you have accepted his personal sponsorship?"
Lu Li found that the questions the reporter was asking seemed to be getting more and more sensitive, and even had a feeling of deliberately digging a hole for him.
Instantly losing all interest in the interview, Lu Chen denied with a blank expression, "I only accepted the League's funding and have no relationship with any personal forces."
In this kind of public occasion, he definitely had to stand with the League. Even if he had really accepted the sponsorship of some personal force, he couldn't admit it.
