I, Xiao Mao, want to become a Pokémon Master!

Page 328

Upon arriving at the entrance to the Battle Dome, "207" could see from afar that the intersections surrounding the Battle Dome were packed with media reporters.

Because every match of Shinan is reported by the media, and sometimes even broadcast live.

Upon receiving the notification of the challenge, Shi Nan naturally notified reporters to come and cover the event.

"Is heather really that popular?" Xiao Mao asked, puzzled.

Before he became a trainer, Shigeru had seen matches against the Dome on TV. To be honest, the matches were more like performances, very flashy.

"Of course, Shi Nan is a superstar, and his strength is also very strong."

“We’re here. Let’s get out of the car. There will be a reporter interviewing you later, so be careful what you say. These are all fans of Shinan here,” Ashida reminded him.

"Don't worry, I'm not the type to talk nonsense," Xiao Mao said.

I believe you.

Ashida originally thought that Shigeru was a humble person, but he was only humble in front of Ms. Orange. If he displeased the leader of the pioneers, he wouldn't say anything nice.

The two got out of the car in the parking lot and had just entered the main road when they were surrounded by reporters.

"Mr. Ashida, is this the challenger for today?"

"What is the challenger's name?"

"How many pioneer leaders have the challengers defeated so far?"

"...!"

Before Xiao Mao and Yashida could say a word, the reporters bombarded them with a barrage of questions.

"Gentlemen, if you want to conduct an interview, you'll have the opportunity later. Please don't block the way now, or I'll call security," Ashida warned.

Although the reporters were dissatisfied, they knew that Ashida's identity was not simple, so they all stepped aside and made way for her.

Thus, the two were able to enter the battle arena. Although they were inside, they still had to face interviews from reporters afterwards.

Inside the Battle Dome, there is a dedicated area for interviews, with a table and folding chairs in front of it for reporters to sit on.

Xiao Mao and Yashida entered the interview room and sat down behind the table.

“Alright, reporters can come in now,” Yashida said.

The staff at the Battle Arena opened the door, and reporters swarmed in like ants, bombarding the room with all sorts of eye-catching images, making it hard for Xiao Mao to even open his eyes.

Ashida, however, was not afraid at all, because this guy always wore sunglasses.

"Everyone, the battle is about to begin. Please ask your questions as soon as possible. Each person can only ask one question. We will start with this lady and move on to the next one after she finishes asking her question," said the woman on the far right of Ashida.

The female reporter called out by Ashida immediately asked, "Challenger, what is your name?"

"My name is Xiaomao."

"So, Xiao Mao, how many symbols have you obtained so far?"

"two."

"Now that you've already obtained two symbols and are a highly anticipated trainer, do you have any winning secrets?"

"Secret technique?" Xiao Mao thought for a moment and said, "There's no secret technique, it's just that I've never lost a match."

"This...!" The reporter who asked the question was stunned and momentarily confused. He wanted to ask more questions, but he no longer had the chance.

"Xiao Mao, have you really never lost a match?" the next male reporter asked.

"You haven't watched the League Tournament, have you? You're a media outlet from the Kanto region, and your trainers have won the League Tournament three times. You must know that, right?" Gary said speechlessly.

The reporters were taken aback, because they were more focused on Superstar Heather and hadn't really investigated the situation of Heather's opponent, only assuming that it was a trainer that Ashida had discovered.

"I must be very ignorant..." The reporter who asked the question sat down, feeling embarrassed.

Another reporter stood up and asked, "Since Xiao Mao is so good, what are your thoughts on superstar Shi Nan?"

“Shi Nan... I’ve only ever seen him on TV before. Most of his matches are exhibition matches, so I thought he was just so-so,” Xiao Mao replied.

The reporters were stunned; they hadn't expected Xiao Mao to give such an evaluation.

Ashida was also having a headache. These reporters had all come for Shinan. If Shigeru made such a comment, it would definitely offend Shinan. Even if Shinan didn't mind, Shinan's fans wouldn't agree.

"This interview is over. See you inside the dome." Ashida immediately stopped the interview and pulled Shigeru away through the back door.

"Xiao Mao, really, I've told you to watch your words. These are all Shinan's fans. You'll get cyberbullied if you keep this up," Ashida said with a headache.

"So what if I'm cyberbullied? People who aren't cyberbullied are destined to be failures in life," Xiao Mao said nonchalantly.

In the past, which celebrity hadn't suffered from cyberbullying? Even if you did nothing, as long as you received attention and traffic, you were destined to be cyberbullied; it was just a matter of how much.

Moreover, as long as Xiao Mao defeats Shi Nan in the match, no one will have anything to say.

"Then you should prepare well for the next match."

Ashida led Shigeru to the players' lounge.

Although the Battlegrounds are a closed 2.9-meter arena, the internal arena is very large, similar to the main arena at the League Tournament, and can accommodate many spectators.

"It's finally starting!"

"Who is today's challenger? Does he even deserve to be Lord Shi Nan's opponent?"

"No matter who it is, Lord Sekinan will win...!"

Standing inside the players' tunnel, Xiao Mao could hear the shouts from outside.

The next second, the lights at the exit ahead went out, followed by a voice.

"Finally, that man has arrived here. This man won the Winner's Cup in Boy Orange, starting with the Kanto League Indigo League Conference, participating in many official league conferences, and winning all of them with a perfect record. He is the most watched trainer in recent years...!"

485: Superstar Heather

The host outside began to introduce Xiao Mao's information. It has to be said that the people on the Battle Dome side did conduct background checks on Xiao Mao and introduced his previous competition experience.

"And now, this man has finally arrived at the Battle Frontier Zone, and with the speed of a whirlwind, he defeated two Frontier Leaders in just three days. Soon he will arrive here, and his name is... Shigeru!!!"

Bang!

A cloud of smoke erupted from the area below.

Instantly, a beam of light shone down from the ceiling, revealing a handsome young man standing in the command area of ​​the venue.

"Holy crap, that's Master Mao!!"

"Holy crap! Mao is coming to fight against the Frontier Zone, I have to support him!!"

"Brother Mao? Who is that person?"

"You don't even know Uncle Mao? Does your village even have internet access?!"

Xiao Mao's appearance immediately attracted the attention of a lot of people.

Winning one league championship might bring fleeting popularity, but winning three league championships in a row, almost all with complete victory, and even possessing a legendary Pokémon, makes it hard for Pokémon 11 not to become a hit.

The staff inside the Dome were surprised to find that Xiao Mao was so famous. Most of the people who came to watch the match were fans of Shi Nan, and many of them actually knew Xiao Mao.

"Pokémon battles are like dazzling flowers, artists of magnificent domes... Gathered in the Battle Dome, revel in the dazzling special moves and ingenious tactics! Dome Superstar, Heather, has descended upon this place!!!"

The audience erupted in screams from the girls, and the entire Dome Arena was filled with their screams.

The next second, a figure jumped down from the protective panel. Shi Nan was wearing a brown cloak, with only his head exposed. He was headfirst, and just as he was about to crash into the command area, he suddenly did a backflip and landed safely on the command area.

"Ok?"

Xiao Mao was a little confused and immediately looked up at the ceiling.

【LV65 Metagross/Elite Four】

"So it was Metagross, I knew it..." Gary suddenly understood.

The protective barrier is 20 meters above the command area. Even if the people in this world are physically strong enough, falling from such a height would definitely cause injury.

Just now, Heather jumped down from the ceiling, and Metagross used telekinesis to flip him over at the last moment, otherwise it would have been a tragedy.

"This Shi Nan seems to be no ordinary person," Xiao Mao thought to himself.

Although he understood the trick, Shi Nan still dared to do it, which showed his courage. If the Megalomon made a mistake, he would be in big trouble.

Seeing the level of that Metagross, it's clear that Heath's strength is not to be underestimated, and the levels of the other Pokémon are also quite high.

Of the two Pokémon that Xiao Shi prepared this time, only one reached the Elite Four level, while the other was at the peak of the near-Elite Four level. Although it could fight against an Elite Four-level Pokémon with the help of a held item, there was still a gap.

"Lord Shi Nan! He's so handsome!!"

"You're so handsome, I want to have your baby."

"Get out! What are you doing having children, you man?"

"I am LGBT, and I will define my own gender. I want to be a male mother..."

The appearance of Shi Nan immediately ignited the audience.

Shi Nan waved to the audience to signal them to be quiet, then said to Shigeru, "Shigeru-kun, I look forward to seeing you deliver a performance that lives up to the symbol of tactics today."

“Of course, I will definitely beat you,” Xiao Mao said.

"Haha, that's great, I really like your fighting spirit... You came to challenge the Frontier Zone like a whirlwind, so today the lineup to meet you is the raging, roaring whirlwind."

After saying that, Heather threw out two Poké Balls.

Great! Great!

Two striking figures, one in red and one in blue, appeared on stage.

"Roar!"

"Roar!"

Two dragon roars rang out.

The two Pokémon that Shinan sent out were Charizard and Salamence, both of which have the Flying type, which fits Shinan's description of the Gale combination.

【LV62 Charizard♂/Elite Four】

【LV62 Salamence♂/Elite Four】

Both Pokémon possess Elite Four-level strength.
