Chapter 1247

"Principal Xilan..."

Baimu was full of complaints he wanted to spit out, but in the end they all turned into a single question, "What exactly do you do at the school normally?"

Xilan froze, "Me? I don't really hang around the school normally."

"... Huh?"

"Hahaha! Our school advocates freedom and following one's heart! Everything that students can handle is left for students to handle!"

The old man laughed proudly.

Ziyu, who had arrived at the side at some point, complained, "It's precisely because you always act as a hands-off shopkeeper that the Alliance Club has become so chaotic!"

She crossed her arms, puffed out her cheeks, and said, "I think this isn't good!"

Damn it!

"Hahaha! Is it chaotic? I think it's pretty good."

Xilan chuckled, "The so-called most profound growth is relying on one's own strength to overcome difficulties and obstacles."

But your students are creating difficulties and obstacles for others...

Baimu found Xilan's educational philosophy hard to evaluate.

Seemingly able to see what he was thinking, Xilan said softly, "Of course, if students encounter problems they can't solve, the teachers will also intervene. There are a great many surveillance cameras in Blueberry Academy."

"I think you'd better pay a bit more attention."

He didn't say anything more, because Wuli and Danyu arrived.

Although he was the Alliance President and Blueberry Champion, Wuli clearly had no popularity; after he entered, few students cheered for him.

In contrast, on Baimu's side, even without greeting anyone, cheers resounded through the entire arena.

The surging waves and the low moaning sea breeze could not completely cover their enthusiasm.

The two faced each other across half the arena.

The moment their gazes collided, Wuli quickly averted his head, but then whipped it back around just as fast.

He saw Taodailang sticking to Baimu, his eyes widening, his face visibly flushing red.

It's real!

It's real!

The Taodailang from the legends of Beishang Township!

Wuli's emotions, which he had barely managed to adjust, fluctuated violently; his fists clenched tight, unable to speak for a long while.

"A Li!"

Danyu looked at him worriedly.

Wuli murmured, "I wasn't wrong... I'll prove it to him! I wasn't wrong!"

He repeated it over and over, only then steadying his Dao Heart which had nearly lost control.

And all of Wuli's behavior was seen by Taodailang, who inexplicably felt a bit excited.

That guy actually really likes me?

The young man has good taste!

No wait, he seems to like Eguichang too? Hmph! Looks like he occasionally goes blind too!

"Kuku~"

Taodailang twisted about excitedly.

If it weren't for the fact that staying by Baimu's side was comfortable enough, and it also liked Baimu quite a bit, it might really have given birth to thoughts of betrayal.

Taodailang had spent its whole life yearning for others to love it; Wuli having a favorable impression of it successfully won its favorable impression.

It was almost a bit unbearable to mess with Wuli.

"We're up soon, get ready."

Baimu patted Taodailang's head, interrupting its wild thoughts.

Both trainers arrived.

Without any hesitant thoughts, he stepped into the arena, stopping at the designated seat.

Seeing this, Wuli let out a heavy breath and strode forward with large steps.

*Ding-dong~*

The PA speakers above the arena emitted a sound.

"Students preparing to watch the Champion battle, please remain quiet after taking your seats. The match is about to begin. Please leave the competition area, idlers and unrelated persons!"

Nali's calm voice rang out.

She was the Blueberry Academy Student Council President, and at this moment she was also leading the Student Council members to maintain order in the arena.

The crowd stirred, then gradually quieted down; those with seats sat down, those without found places to stand.

A dense mass of people and Pokemon blocked the academy entrance so tightly not even water could trickle through.

It could be said that the vast majority of students from all three grades were here, anticipating the battle about to unfold.

Many raised their phones to film, posting to blogs and Poketok.

Some even started livestreams.

Alas, they were quickly cut off by Porygon2.

Baimu didn't want too many outsiders paying attention to this match, and had also given a heads-up to the Poketok operations side not to push related videos.

Duoruo filmed a short video and sent it to her "Senior Sister".

'Guess who he's battling?'

The previous message was 'Huh? Why is your good friend here?', which hadn't been replied to yet.

The wild-natured Elise rarely played with her phone; getting her to reply promptly was a thousand difficulties and ten thousand difficulties.

This made Du Ruo, who wanted to liven things up, feel very discouraged.

It felt like winking at a blind person.

Besides Ailis, he had no one else to share with. Du Ruo's lazy nature meant he basically had no close friends.

Soon.

Nali appeared.

She still held her position as referee, and at the same time learned the content of this match from Wuli and Baimu.

"——This match is a six-on-two doubles battle!"

Upon hearing this, the students immediately erupted in an uproar.

Six-on-two doubles?

No need to think—they all knew the six were Wuli and the two were Baimu.

But why would they set up such a format?

"Is Baimu doing this to give Wuli's president a chance to win?"

"Probably!"

"Is the gap really that big?"

"Only sending out two means Baimu has no room to switch……I could do it myself!"

"Really or fake?"

"Of course! I have a hundred ways to win this match! First like this, then like that……"

The students were noisy.

The spectator Nimo looked puzzled, and Paipa worriedly said: "Sending only two for a doubles match feels like the margin for error is very low……"

"Since Baimu dares to do this, he must have his reliance."

Mudan said calmly.

She unconditionally believed this man who had once helped her defeat five captains of the Tianxing team.

On the field.

Nali signaled both sides to send out their Pokémon.

Wuli held two Poké Balls, ignoring the people around him, and said:

"I've waited a long time for this day! To make you look at me anew, I've put in a lot of effort!

"Studying desperately, training Pokémon, sweeping the Four Heavenly Kings, becoming champion……all of it, all of it, all of it!! was for now!! fulfilling our promise!"

He raised his head and shouted loudly, like cheering himself on.

The Poké Balls flew out.

Bang bang!

White light flashed brightly.

The Pokémon appearing before Wuli were Flying Dragon and Poison Frog King.

"Ooo~"

"Ribbit!"

Accompanied by the clear frog croak, the blue sky gathered dark clouds, which instantly spread over a large area, bringing down drizzling rain.

At the same time, Taodailang entered the field hesitantly.

The Eguipeng, having taken off its apron, appeared on the other side, wearing a pastel-colored mask askew.

The students looked at these two unfamiliar Pokémon, utterly bewildered.

"What is this? A little girl? A peach?"

"I know that peach-like one! It's called Taodailang! Professor Oak specifically popularized it! After the Oure Champion League ended!"

"Mythical Pokémon!"

Because Baimu used Baoban and Taodailang openly in public, many trainers who didn't know what they were went to ask Professor Oak.

Professor Oak, responding to netizens' calls, obtained image data from the Oure League, combined it with the legends of Beixiang Village, and introduced these four.

In short——

Legendary Pokémon and Mythical Pokémon!

Eguipeng has a relatively weak presence, and compared to its battle with Zimi, its popularity is lower than the Oure Champion League, so fewer people know about it than Taodailang and Baoban.

Nimo and her group, however, are clear about it.

Ziyu couldn't help but say: "How adorable this Pokémon is! I think I saw it in a short video of Big Mouth Baby!"

As a true fan of Big Mouth Baby, she checks it every few days, and the fleeting glimpse of Eguipeng in the corner naturally wasn't missed.

Of course, there are many like her, the Leeuwenhoek types.

The reason everyone didn't pay much attention is mainly because Eguipeng's appearance is deceptive.

No matter who sees it at first glance, they'll think it's a little girl.

Only after staring hard a few times can one realize it might be a Pokémon.

Just like now.

The crowd was bustling and noisy without cease.

Wuli's breathing in the field suddenly became heavy.

"'Ghost'! 'Baoban'!"

It's hard to imagine the two legendary opposing Pokémon fighting side by side, while their opponent is oneself!

What am I?

This is literally hell on earth!

Wulian nearly cracked again, repeatedly muttering "I did nothing wrong" to steady his Dao heart.

Nali, who had been keeping a constant eye on her friend's younger brother, frowned; she had never seen Wulian like this — was he too nervous from battling the Champion?

"Contestant Wulian, are you ready for battle?"

she asked.

Wulian responded immediately, "Ready! Let's begin!"

Looking at his expression, Nali gave a slight nod: "In that case, the match — begins!"

"Seismitoad, Perish Song! Dragonite, Hurricane against Gholdengo!"

Wulian ordered without the slightest hesitation.

As expected.

Having confirmed that Baimu would only use two Pokemon, he decisively chose Perish Song.

This way, even if Seismitoad and Dragonite were defeated, Gholdengo and Polteageist would also be unable to escape the fate of losing their strength.

Unless Baimu had a way to let Gholdengo and Polteageist dodge it —

Hum—!

Overflowing prismatic light swallowed Wulian's vision.

It turned out Baimu had taken out the Tera Orb and activated it, tossing it atop Gholdengo's head.

Although Gimmighoul can Terastallize autonomously, in official match rules Terastallization is only allowed to be used once, so there wasn't much difference.

"Terastallizing right at the start?"

"This is an all-out offensive stance!"

Quite a few students exclaimed in surprise.

Bang!

The crystal pillar surrounding Gholdengo shattered, revealing a giant pastel-colored crystal mask, and the small figure hidden behind it.

Polteageist vanished without a trace; it used Phantom Force to launch a surprise attack, retreating to another dimension to ride out the disaster.

This is indeed a major method to avoid Perish Song.

Unfortunately, because Gholdengo stood its ground and Terastallized without making any evasive movement, the eerie song sung by Seismitoad turned into countless musical notes that burrowed into its body.

Eerie power coiled around its frame; an inexplicable sense of dread welled up in its heart.

"Bonibon?"

Gholdengo seemed to hear some kind of countdown sound.

Baimu said, "It'll be over soon, you don't need to pay it too much mind. Swing the bat."

"Bonibon!"

The obedient Gholdengo nodded.

Whoosh!

A gale struck!

It was the massive gray-white tornado whipped up by Dragonite's wingbeats!

Boosted by the rain, Hurricane expanded in range and accelerated its startup, surging toward Gholdengo like a typhoon!

In an instant, most of the opposite field was engulfed by the tornado!

Gholdengo's figure vanished within it!

Wulian pressed his lips together in silence; his understanding of Gholdengo ran extremely deep.

Convinced it was a Grass-type, even borrowing the mask's power, Hurricane should still be able to deal effective damage to it!

More importantly, it could stall!

Gholdengo's body was petite, its weight extremely light.

Facing Hurricane, a move that possesses a control effect against small Pokemon, it would presumably find it very difficult to make any significant showing.

He could win!

He would prove to Baimu —

Boom!!

His chaotic thoughts were violently shattered by the deafening roar; Wulian's astonished gaze locked on, and he shockingly saw a tiny figure swing a bat, tearing through the wind and bursting out!

Yes!

Gholdengo, using a bat pulled from who knows where, ripped apart the tornado reaching dozens of meters high and charged out!

At the same time, it leapt toward Dragonite's direction!

"Dragonite —"

"Bonibon~o!"

Beside the giant mask, an even more gigantic pastel-colored long bat, like the Divine Needle that Calms the Seas, slammed down fiercely atop Dragonite's head!

Thud! Boom!

Urgent, thunderous reverberations shook the earth and eardrums!

A biting wind rushed forth, dispersing the rain and the still-unabated Hurricane.

Under the crane-necked gaze of all the students, a deep pit had appeared in the field.

Inside the pit, Dragonite lay sleeping peacefully.

Terastallized Gholdengo stood on its body, bat pointed toward Seismitoad's position, making the large frog tremble all over.

"Dragonite is unable to battle, Gholdengo wins!"

Even Nali's usually flat-as-water voice now carried a hint of a ripple.

Instant kill!

The Blueberry Champion's Pokémon was effortlessly one-shotted with a single club strike!

Even though everyone never felt from start to finish that Wulian and Baimu were on the same level, he was still the Blueberry Champion!

The strongest of Blueberry Academy!

His Dragonite, who knows how many people's nightmare it was.

But today.

Dragonite fell, it entered fast and moved fast, and it fell just as fast, without any struggle process.

The whole venue fell deathly quiet for a moment.

Only Wulian's voice, struggling to stay steady yet still trembling, "Toxicroak, hold on!"

He swiftly recalled Dragonite, preparing to send out another Pokémon.

But immediately saw Mismagius vanish from its spot, like a gust of pink breeze, appearing before the Toxicroak that had just put up a Light Screen.

【Power Whip】!

Bang!

The held Light Screen was brittle as a mirror, the Thorny Baton wreathed in green radiance suddenly whipped Toxicroak's body!

Whoosh!

Toxicroak turned into an afterimage, brushed past Wulian's side, and slammed with a thud into the arena's edge wall, blasting a spiderweb crater.

Blueberry Academy's students were quiet as Gu Niu Niu.

The teachers likewise didn't speak, merely forcing down saliva to mask their shock.

"Toxicroak has lost battle ability..."

Nali's voice rang out once more.

Pecharunt drilled out from the void, just in time to see this scene, the shadow lurking deep in its heart instantly erupting.

"Pecha!"

It was so scared it curled into a peach, rolling onto the ground.

But few paid it any attention, everyone's gaze stolen by that crystalline, dazzling little figure.

Wulian's third — Greninja entered the field.

Mismagius's figure vanished with a swish.

Bang!

Green light exploded.

Greninja vanished without a trace, leaving only Mismagius's petite, exquisite figure in place.

Thud!

Another crater.

"Greninja has lost battle ability..."

Nali's voice was like cold machinery, pronouncing the result of this match that left countless people at a loss for words.

Less than two minutes in, Blueberry Champion Wulian already had three Pokémon lose battle ability.

"Turns out... one was enough."

Someone said as if groaning.

If not for Blueberry Academy favoring doubles, I wonder if what was just announced would've been six-on-one?

This is Champion Orea!
