Chapter 405 Zi Yu: Are there any normal people left on this island?!
[Miaoha confirms its status as the top female cat!]
[What a pity, Victini is legendary below the brain; with a brain transplant, Meowha probably wouldn't have much of a chance...]
[You're not allowed to talk about Victini like that! Please respect disabled elves, okay?]
【You didn't let it go either, lol】
[It was alright. Actually, Bictini didn't make many mistakes towards the end. It was just that Meowha was too overpowered. The championship was well-deserved!]
[And it was a three-game series, making it incredibly competitive!]
[Meowha: Why does playing in a neighborhood-level competition feel harder than playing in the world championship?]
[This is just a U18-level neighborhood competition; imagine if Reshiram and the others participated...]
Forget about it, if they join in, the island will be gone!
[Ugh, how did it end already? I haven't even seen the epic showdown between Meowha and Master Bear yet!]
[On the battlefield: Ah, still fighting? I'm really going to break...]
[Hahaha, MVP all the way: Beach Battleground!]
[Speaking of which, after playing for so long... what exactly is the reward for the Xia Chi Cup champion?]
[Uh, you got the praise of "You're amazing" from all the comments?]
That's quite a feast! lol
[...]
.】
The final match of the Xia Chi Cup was full of ups and downs.
From the initial consensus that "Magic Masked Cat crushed the champion"
The audience was stunned when Victini unleashed a thunderous punch that sent Nyaha flying, revealing his terrifying power.
Then, Magical Masked Cat remained calm under pressure, quickly adjusted its tactics, and used attribute advantages and experience to gradually turn the tide, ultimately achieving a complete reversal—
All the dramatic twists and turns were compressed into those short, breathtaking few minutes of the game.
When Miaoha won the championship and the competition came to a perfect end, the number of viewers in Qishu's live broadcast room, which had already exceeded 60 million, not only did not drop, but instead showed a slight upward trend.
Trainers and enthusiasts from all over the world are discussing the match that just took place with great interest.
It is foreseeable that the four matches of the "Xia Chi Cup" will be widely circulated on the Internet for a long time.
On Qiming Island, the enthusiastic atmosphere gradually cooled down after the competition ended.
The "medical team" led by Latios and his sister quickly began treating Meowha and Victini, especially Victini, who seemed to be losing her fighting ability for the first time.
This perseverance has earned it the respect of many of its family members.
Both Pokémon were in pretty good spirits after the match.
Needless to say, for Miaoha, this weighty championship was even more exhilarating than her previous victory in the Evil Attribute Expert Tournament, where she swept through six opponents in a row.
To reiterate, breaking through the encirclement in one's own "monster room" is far more difficult and significant than competing in external competitions.
As for Victini... even after being unconscious and unable to fight, the little guy is still immersed in the joy of "how amazing I am".
To be honest, it didn't expect to actually beat Miaoha before the competition.
Being able to fight her to a standstill and almost win the match was completely beyond Bictini's expectations.
To some extent, the little guy is quite easily satisfied.
After several intense matches, plus breaks and interactions in between, the first "Xia Chi Cup" came to a complete end. The night was deep, the stars filled the sky, and time quietly slipped into midnight.
After a very enjoyable party, everyone was feeling a bit tired and unanimously prepared to return to their respective rooms on the island to rest.
Just as Qishu was about to put away his Rotom phone, which was broadcasting live, he suddenly realized: "What a coincidence, it'll be exactly 12 o'clock in five minutes, it's the new year~"
She thought for a moment, then turned to Xia Chi and suggested, "Xia Chi, Xia Chi, it's only a few minutes left anyway, why don't we celebrate the New Year together before going back to rest? It'll be so lively with so many people celebrating together!"
Xia Chi was checking on Miaoha's recovery when he heard this and casually shrugged: "I don't care, it's up to everyone else."
He had assumed that Nemo and Ziyu, these energetic and lively young people, would be the ones to respond enthusiastically.
However, to everyone's surprise, the first to speak in a loud voice was that highly respected legend of the battle.
"Great idea!"
Master Mash stroked his gray beard, a broad smile on his face: "This old man's Isle of Armor has never been this lively before!"
Honey Leaf smiled gently and agreed, "The kids at the martial arts school were all on holiday and went home. If you want excitement, isn't it lively enough for you normally?"
'
"That's different, it's different!"
Mastedt laughed and waved his hand.
Given Masdeh's status and prestige, his statement instantly imbued this impromptu New Year's Eve event with special weight and warmth.
The champions, including Leon, Cynthia, and Daigo, exchanged smiles and indicated that they had no objections.
Seeing that all the bigwigs were in high spirits, the younger generation naturally had no reason to object.
In an instant, the crowd that was about to disperse gathered again, and the atmosphere became lively once more.
Seeing that his suggestion had been accepted, Qi Shu immediately pressed his advantage, moving closer to Xia Chi, tugging at his sleeve, and asking with sparkling eyes, "Xia Chi, Xia Chi! Since it's New Year's Eve, have they prepared fireworks on the island?"
"fireworks?"
Xia Chi was taken aback and subconsciously looked at Yui, the head housekeeper on the island.
Upon hearing this, Yui shrugged helplessly and spread her hands, saying, "Don't look at me, boss. The guest list and event schedule you gave me beforehand didn't mention that we need to prepare New Year's fireworks."
Xia Chi had indeed not considered this point.
The main guests were champions like Cynthia, Steven, and Leon, and he couldn't possibly associate them with fireworks beforehand.
Only after Qi Shu reminded him did Xia Chi realize that the New Year without fireworks did seem a bit lacking.
There are only three or four minutes left until New Year's Eve. Even if I immediately rode my fastest motorcycle, the Milerton, at full speed to the nearest city in Shanghai to buy fireworks, there would be absolutely no time for a round trip.
Just as Xia Chi and Qi Shu were both struggling with their problems, Manon, who had been relatively quiet, suddenly interjected, "Um..."
"I might have a way."
Xia Chi and Qi Shu looked toward Manong.
Manon gently pushed Latios forward and explained in a soft voice, "Back when I was in Aldomare... city festivals sometimes didn't use traditional fireworks. I would have Latios and Latias use their moves to create fireworks-like effects in the sky... and it was quite beautiful."
Using Pokémon moves... as fireworks?
Everyone's eyes lit up.
Indeed, fireworks are essentially a series of explosive reactions of gunpowder.
Whether it's energy intensity, coolness, or richness of color, what could be better than a Pokémon's moves?
Especially considering that the Pokémon present were all powerful Pokémon at the Champion or Elite Four level.
This idea immediately gained widespread acceptance.
Michael immediately clapped his hands and exclaimed, "Hmm... using Pokémon moves to set off fireworks is indeed a very elegant and beautiful activity!"
He immediately called over the Lucky Kappa beside him and shouted, "Lucky Kappa, Energy Ball, then Ice Beam, concentrate on one point and shatter the Energy Ball!"
After all, they were longtime partners, and Ludicolo immediately understood what the trainer meant.
It clapped its hands lightly, opened its long, flat mouth, and a vibrant green orb of light, brimming with rich grass-based life energy, quickly condensed.
Then, as if lifted by an invisible hand, it traced a graceful arc and rose again into the deep night sky.
Energy flows within the sphere of light, resembling a miniature green star.
Just as the emerald green energy ball reached its highest point and was about to begin its descent.
A thin beam of ice-colored energy shot out instantly, hitting the very center of the emerald green energy sphere with perfect accuracy.
A crisp, strange sound rang out; it wasn't an explosion, but rather the clear chirping of a delicate glass vessel being gently shattered.
The next instant, a miraculous scene unfolded in the night sky.
Countless emerald green light threads, mixed with icy blue frost, radiated outwards from the energy sphere.
Green and blue lights twinkled and drifted in the night sky, some condensing into tiny ice crystals that slowly fell, reflecting starlight and the lights of the venue, creating a brief and dreamlike ice crystal firework display.
And because of the freezing effect of the ice-type moves, the fireworks lasted for about ten seconds before gradually dissipating in the night wind, leaving behind a cool and damp feeling.
Wow!
On the beach, both trainers and Pokémon were captivated by the creative and beautiful fireworks displays, and they all exclaimed in admiration.
The elves tilted their heads back, their eyes unblinking, reflecting dazzling light and filled with wonder.
This scene was naturally captured faithfully by the Rotom phone during the live stream.
Tens of millions of viewers around the world shared in this spectacular scene.
[Absolutely stunning! What an incredible idea!]
[The accuracy and control of Lucky Kappa's moves are amazing!]
[Nonsense, Teacher Rice is the undisputed GOAT in the family world, you're kidding me!]
[So touching! Today's live stream was totally worth it. Not only did we get to watch the Summer Cup, but Teacher Dami also put on a fireworks show. Shubao, you did a great job!]
[I must say, those special fireworks were really cool! I want my Charizard to do a couple of them too!]
Don't go! Officer Jenny's Arcanine tactics are quite cruel, unless you, like Prisoner, have your own island!
[Police officer Junsha reminds you: The internet is not above the law; arson will land you in jail for life!]
[666! Officer Jenny is really watching the live stream! She's quiet now. My Sacred Retriever says she suddenly doesn't want to set off fireworks anymore...]
[Just enjoy the performances of the champion masters quietly – that's the ultimate viewing experience!]
Amidst the heated discussion in the live chat.
Just as the comments section was buzzing with discussion, a second, even more fiery and unrestrained "firework" had already eagerly risen into the night sky above Qiming Island.
The lead role this time is played by Nemo.
This characteristic is probably because the "unyielding" girl couldn't hold back after the successful experiment with Mikoli, so she had her Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile and Babu Groundhog launch a "fire and electricity combo".
"Gawoo"
The giant, bony-patterned crocodile let out a low growl, its chest heaving, and intense flames brewing in its throat.
"Baboo"
At the same time, electric flashes appeared in the electric sacs on Babu Tubo's cheeks.
The next instant, a thick, scorching orange-red pillar of fire and a dazzling golden current shot into the night sky almost simultaneously.
The two attacks were not aimed at each other, but after ascending to a certain height, the Bone-Patterned Giant Crocodile and Babu Groundhog adjusted their angles in tacit agreement, allowing the flames and electricity to intertwine and collide in mid-air.
boom-
A wondrous reaction occurred the instant that two completely different yet equally energetic attributes converged.
The orange-red flames rose up to become even brighter and more vibrant, while golden electricity exploded into countless tiny, shimmering sparks, like diamonds embedded in a curtain of flames.
A magnificent waterfall of thunder and fire appeared in the night sky, crackling and dazzling, illuminating half the sky as bright as day.
It lasted for quite a while before gradually going out, the heat seemingly still lingering in the air.
"That's so cool!"
Nemo jumped up excitedly, quite satisfied with her "work".
"Heh heh~ My turn!"
When it comes to playing games, Qishu never wants to be second to anyone.
Her eyes sparkled as she exclaimed, "This looks fun! Misdreavus, let's try it too! First, we'll cast Shadow Ball, then hit it with the most dazzling Flash spell!"
The dream demon floating beside the strange tree showed a helpless yet doting expression, but it still gracefully floated forward a step.
It raised its hand, which was condensed with ghostly energy, and a deep purple-black energy ball, seemingly capable of absorbing the surrounding light, slowly took shape and silently floated into the night sky.
Just as the Shadow Sphere reached its zenith and began to be captured by gravity, the Misdreavus suddenly erupted with an incomparably dazzling and colorful radiance.
There was no loud noise, only a buzzing sound like a bubble bursting.
When the deep purplish-black meets the dazzling iridescence, the Shadow Orb seems to become a core that carries magic, exploding into a constantly changing, shimmering mist of light, flowing like the aurora borealis.
Purple, pink, blue, green... all sorts of gorgeous colors flow within, like a dream, full of fairytale romance.
Kiju stood with his hands on his hips, looking at Nemo with a completely unprofessional air, and said smugly, "So, what do you think? My fireworks are still the best, aren't they?"
Nemo's competitive nature was instantly triggered, and her little face tightened: "No way! Mine is clearly more impressive, yours is too flashy!"
"What? You don't even know what artistic expression is?!"
"You have no idea what the pure beauty of energy is!"
Two trainers who were clearly mature and powerful in the eyes of countless people were now arguing like two children on the beach.
Although they were all smiling, neither of them was willing to admit defeat first.
Zi Yu, watching the two clowns, sighed and said speechlessly, "Are you two children? How can you even argue like this?"
As she spoke, she turned to Xia Chi, seeking his approval: "Right, Xia Chi? It's just fireworks, what's the big deal?"
Xia Chi looked up at the fireworks and said, "Exactly, what's there to argue about..."
Upon hearing this, Zi Yu felt she had found a kindred spirit and nodded in deep agreement: "As expected, Xia Chi is still the most reliable..."
Before she could finish speaking, Xia Chi abruptly changed the subject: "Because no matter how beautiful your displays are, they'll never be as beautiful as mine. Victini, let them see what real art is!"
"Tini~"
【Yay, watch this!】
Bictini responded excitedly.
Purple Yu:
'
'
Sure enough, what normal person could become friends with two extraordinary beings like Kirito and Nemo?
Under the watchful, bewildered gazes of the crowd, Victini flew to the open space in the middle of the beach.
It took a deep breath, and its small body began to emit a faint golden halo.
Immediately afterwards, its huge V-shaped ears began to shimmer with different kinds of brilliant light.
The intensely fiery golden-orange hue, the wildly leaping golden lightning, the dazzling pink and purple iridescent light...
The energies of the three attributes converge at a single point in the night sky.
An indescribable spectacle of energy erupted in the night sky above Qiming Island.
Just as this dazzling display of energy fireworks reached its peak.
"Clang clang clang!"
The Rotom phone emitted a crisp and melodious midnight chime in a very atmospheric way.
The old year has passed, and the new year has arrived.
Under the lingering glow of the shimmering sunlight, everyone on the beach smiled at each other, basking in the warmth of the moment.
The cheers, along with the last wisps of energy, blended into the New Year's Eve scene on Qiming Island.
Meanwhile, in Qishu's live stream room.
The screen was flooded with thousands of messages simultaneously from all over the world: "Happy New Year!"
