Chapter 26 The Shadow in the Corner
Chapter 26 The Shadow in the Corner
The non-mainstream male and female released Camerupt and Torkoal respectively, and both Pokémon exuded peak "excellent" strength that was no weaker than Froslass.
Especially the Coal Turtle, whose shell shone with a dazzling silver-white light at the start, the light rising into the sky and turning into a blinding orb that illuminated the entire arena.
Is it due to the "sunshine" characteristic? No wonder they still dared to fight after seeing our record.
They apparently thought they had an advantage in attributes, plus the weather bonus, and felt they could put up a fight against us.
But the next moment, when Qiao Yijing's Ice Nine-Tailed Fox landed gracefully, and the biting cold wind that swept across the entire arena swept by, they realized the difference in their abilities.
In the blink of an eye, the "sunny" environment created by the "coal turtle" was flattened by the blizzard, leaving only a single bright spot at the source struggling in the blizzard, but it could not emit much light.
Logically speaking, weather competition in the real world is not about speed like in games, but about one's own level and corresponding elemental affinity.
If they are not too different, a stalemate will occur where two different weather conditions appear simultaneously.
The scene at this moment has proven that no matter how you look at it, Coal Tortoise is no match for Ice Ninetales.
"How is that possible!"
Before the two could even gasp in surprise, Froslass appeared like a ghost between the two clumsy Pokémon, each arm holding a Shadow Ball, which she simultaneously fired, sending both Pokémon flying.
Fortunately, although the two heavyweight Pokémon are not good at speed, their defense is decent, so they are not easily defeated by opponents of the same level.
Once it has a firm footing, it unleashes a "Flame Jet" attack, attempting to focus fire and instantly kill the Snow Fairy.
However, the snow fairy's figure was erratic in the wind and snow, and the two pillars of fire came fiercely, but only managed to extinguish a few afterimages.
The next instant, the Snow Fairy herself appeared behind the Fire-Breathing Camel, with a water sphere formed by high-pressure condensation on her chest, ready to be unleashed.
"The Ripple of Water!"
The four-fold attack of the Fire-Breathing Camel landed squarely on the latter, and the Camel's massive body was instantly swallowed by the burst of water, its fate unknown.
Taking advantage of the opportunity, the Coal Turtle spewed fire to shoot the Snow Fairy, but was blasted away by a jet-black beam of light from the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox, crashing heavily into the outer protective barrier.
The entire stadium was silent for a second, then erupted in deafening cheers!
Double kill!
"Two peak-level elites, both killed in a single exchange—is this the world of the strong?!"
"The Ice and Snow Duo is awesome!!"
The entire venue was filled with cheers, but these sounds were particularly jarring to the ears of the non-mainstream couple.
Despite having a type advantage, the two fire Pokémon were still defeated almost immediately, leaving them feeling extremely frustrated.
They glared fiercely at Lin Ye and his companion, almost as if they wanted to breathe fire like their Pokémon.
But in the end, under the watchful eyes of the Snow Fairy and the Ice Nine-Tailed Fox, the two dared not do anything, especially since they were in public. They only whispered a harsh remark as they brushed past Lin Ye:
"You gigolo, do you think I would have lost to you if it weren't for women? You better not fall into my hands in the future."
This surprised Lin Ye, who had originally planned to test his skills against the Poison Blade Society because of Rhodes's matter.
However, I originally planned to develop for a while longer before going to find them, but I didn't expect to have a couple of exchanges with them today, which can be considered a warm-up.
As for his mockery of him being a gigolo, Lin Ye simply took it as a kind of blessing.
Soon, it was time for the awards ceremony. The two retrieved their Pokémon and went on stage to receive the limited-edition carpet.
Upon closer inspection, it turned out to be a beautifully crafted, fluffy limited-edition rug.
The large head of the Pikachu, as depicted by Lei Debiao, on the carpet looked exceptionally cute at that moment, as if it were smiling at the two of them.
Qiao Yijing stepped forward and touched the soft downy fur, then turned her head and smiled at Lin Ye, who gave her a thumbs up.
Countless eyes were fixed on them from below the stage, some filled with envy, some with jealousy, some with admiration, and a few girls whispering, "They're such a perfect match!"
Upon hearing these comments, Qiao Yijing couldn't help but glance at Lin Ye beside her. When she saw him look back, she turned her face away with a normal expression, but her reddened ears couldn't lie.
At that moment, shouts erupted from the audience: "Give us a hug! Give us a hug!"
Lin Ye glanced at Qiao Yijing and noticed that her pretty face was even redder, and her head was slightly lowered, looking indifferent.
He felt this was a good opportunity and wondered if he could take this opportunity to get closer to the richest woman, but suddenly he felt a chilling coldness erupt from a dark corner without warning!
Because Lin Ye had cultivated necromancy, his mental power was particularly sensitive to ghost energy, and he immediately sensed it!
Just as that malevolent force began to coalesce, and before anyone else knew it, Lin Ye reacted instantly, as if by quantum entanglement.
Lin Ye vaguely sensed that the evil intent seemed to be directed at Qiao Yijing. Before she could make a move, he reflexively lunged at her.
Due to the urgency of the situation, Lin Ye was unable to control the angle in his haste. His vision went black, as if he were sinking into the middle of a pair of soft spheres, followed by a milky fragrance.
He suddenly realized that his face was currently sandwiched between Qiao Yijing's proud breasts.
"Ah~"
Qiao Yijing only had time to let out a panicked scream before the world spun around her. When everything calmed down again, she was tackled to the ground by Lin Ye, and a strange feeling came from her chest.
She could even feel the young man's breath seeping through his clothes, warm and gentle on her skin.
"What is he trying to do? A hug doesn't have to be this violent, especially in public. At least do this in a less crowded place!"
No, that's not the point. We're not really a couple yet.
Qiao Yijing herself didn't realize that her first reaction after being taken advantage of wasn't anger, but complaining that the occasion was inappropriate.
Just as she was about to righteously order Lin Ye to get off her, or at least remove his head from the sandwich between her huge breasts, the sight before her made her face suddenly change color.
The Ledebo Lougou rug she had been longing for suddenly burst into flames and was completely engulfed in just a few breaths.
The shyness in Qiao Yijing's heart was instantly replaced by anger, followed by a deep sense of fear, and her face turned pale.
She was holding this carpet just now, and if Lin Ye hadn't tackled her at the last moment, she might have been injured by the sudden flames.
As for Water Still Department Store, it is a well-known large enterprise in Hoenn, so its security capabilities are certainly not weak.
After the strange entity launched its surprise attack, it immediately locked onto its target. An Alakazam teleported in with a "whoosh," its powerful mental energy directly targeting an inconspicuous dark corner.
Hudi pushed the spoons in both hands simultaneously, and the pink light shone brightly, instantly transforming into tangible spiritual energy that suddenly pressed down on that corner.
The next moment, a dark shadow leaped up from the corner surrounded by the pink energy orb and collided head-on with it!
"Bang!"
The powerful energy shockwaves expanded wildly, causing the surrounding crowd, who had just reacted, to riot and flee in terror.
"Don't panic, everyone. Our group has strong security capabilities and can absolutely guarantee your safety."
Lin Ye pulled the blushing Qiao Yijing to her feet, just in time to see a security captain wearing sunglasses rush forward and release two "professional" Pokémon, Machamp and Mightyena, to attack the culprit from both sides.
At this moment, everyone saw the true face of the hidden attacker, which turned out to be a strange Pokémon wearing a leather suit.
The suit features a half-resemblance to Pikachu, drawn in a bizarre style that resembles both children's doodles and a doll from a horror movie, with distorted eye and mouth outlines and a sinister smile.
