Chapter 779

After a short rest, Su Hao refused the medical team's work to restore Lucario's state under their embarrassed expressions.

Not to mention that Lucario wasn't injured in the battle against Lan Ruosi and Gallade, only having some energy loss.

Even if it were injured, Su Hao considered his treatment efficiency to be much stronger than the Comfey accompanying the medical team.

However, he thought of Elite Four Chen Qing, who had suddenly run in front of him just now, and his expression was strange.

This was his first close contact with Chen Qing.

Should I say he's worthy of being the Fighting-type Elite Four? He was taller than him and had a sturdier build; only his appearance was slightly weaker than his, but Chen Qing's resolute and handsome face should be more attractive to people of a certain age than his.

But... Su Hao felt that this Elite Four member might be a bit sick in some way, just like Bai Du.

Have you ever seen a normal person ask Su Hao to smash an Aura Sphere into his chest the first time they met?

Chen Qing did just that, patting his thick pectoral muscles and asking Su Hao to smash an Aura Sphere there.

Su Hao wasn't surprised that the Alliance high-level officials knew about his special ability; after all, he had been so high-profile at the Snowfield Base.

But Chen Qing still thought the Aura Sphere Su Hao rolled wasn't big enough, asking him to increase the intensity; he wanted a bigger one.

Finally, after Chen Qing got his wish and took a big Aura Sphere, he clutched his chest, blood seeping from the corners of his mouth, but walked away with steady steps.

When he left, he was still muttering something: "That guy Bai Du really wanted to pit me... Hmph!"

Afterward, Chen Qing's figure slowly walked away.

Thinking of this, Su Hao's strange expression became even stranger.

Good guy, although I don't know what Bai Du did, this scum Elite Four really pits everyone around him indiscriminately.

Bai Du grew up to this age, not only not beaten to death by the people around him, but also became an Elite Four member?

That's pretty awesome.

On the other side, Chen Qing returned to the lounge and immediately called the person in charge of the Fighting Capital Doubles Tournament, putting forward a request.

"Anyway, the exhibition match rules haven't been announced yet, right? Change it from a doubles match between people and Pokémon to the common one-on-one Pokémon battle between trainers."

"If you don't agree, I won't do it."

Chen Qing spread his hands under the surprised expression of his assistant, throwing all the problems to the suit-and-tie glasses-wearing person in charge.

Seeing this, the person in charge, whose forehead was constantly sweating and whose shirt was soaked, looked at Chen Qing's assistant with small, weak, and helpless eyes, but unfortunately, all he got in return was the confused look in the other's eyes.

Obviously, Chen Qing's little assistant didn't understand why the usually easy-going Chen Qing suddenly started acting up, almost openly making things difficult for the person in charge.

The glasses-wearing person in charge brainstormed all possibilities in his mind, and the only conclusion he reached was one.

He said weakly: "Do you think the two-on-two method is too bullying to the new champion, so you want to change it to a Pokémon battle?"

After all, the current mainstream opinion was that Lucario carried Su Hao, the accessory, to become the champion.

Thinking about it this way, it made sense that Chen Qing, a highly-rated commoner Elite Four, didn't want to bully the young people too much.

Hearing this, Chen Qing's mouth twitched, and he said in disbelief: "Ha?"

"Did you get something wrong?"

"I mean, I don't want to be knocked unconscious by an eighteen-year-old kid in public and on a live broadcast. That would be too shameful; it's better to change it to a Pokémon battle!"

"Besides, I'm just a martial artist who practices martial arts; you think I'm stupid to go fight human-shaped Pokémon and psychics?"

The glasses-wearing person in charge's glasses slid off. He couldn't manage his expression at all, and together with the little assistant, their lips trembled, and they said in disbelief: "Ah!?"

Not long after, the host changed into a more formal outfit, wiped the sweat from his forehead, and introduced the specific rules of the exhibition match to the audience, whose atmosphere was becoming increasingly enthusiastic and who wanted to see Chen Qing beat Su Hao.

A one-on-one Pokémon battle, not the Chen Qing personally playing that everyone expected, which

disappointed many people.

Of course, there were also audience members who became interested in Pokémon battles after the match between Su Hao and Luo Xia who chose to wait and see, no longer a one-sided trend.

But they were a minority after all. Just when everyone was puzzled why a perfectly good doubles match had turned into a Pokémon singles match, Chen Qing's figure suddenly appeared first. He took the host's microphone directly and then greeted with a smile: "Hello everyone, I'm Chen Qing~"

As soon as Chen Qing appeared, the whole arena boiled instantly. Countless people shouted his name, and some even wanted to rush to the arena to have close contact with him, but they were stopped by the security guards who had anticipated the move before they could actually act.

The appeal of the Elite Four was evident.

Chen Qing had experienced this kind of scene countless times and very skillfully pacified everyone's emotions. After they quieted down, he said with a smile: "The exhibition match rules were changed from a doubles match between people and Pokémon to a Pokémon singles match at my suggestion, and I am also very grateful to the organizers for agreeing to my willful request."

"What... was it suggested by Elite Four Chen Qing? Then it's fine!"

"Since you said so, I have no opinion!"

"Elite Four Chen Qing is truly full of martial virtue, unwilling to bully the weak, and specially opened a convenient door for Lucario's accessory!"

Human double standards were displayed vividly at this moment.

The last sentence came from the audience area very close to the battle arena. Chen Qing, who had sharp ears, naturally heard this sentence and said without any burden: "I think everyone must have misunderstood something."

"It's not that I'm full of martial virtue and went easy on contestant Su Hao; on the contrary, I chose to adjust the rules to a Pokémon singles match because I have no confidence that I can win against him 2-on-2."

"After all, I'm just a martial artist who can fight Pokémon hand-to-hand; I'm not on the same track as those psychics who can beat Pokémon, and I still have self-awareness about this."

Chen Qing always spoke and acted openly and honestly, stating the reason without any care, never thinking about how much impact this sentence would have on all the audience.

Rather, he never cared.

From rising from a commoner to his current status, he had heard plenty of gossip, but Chen Qing would never be shaken and could turn these things into his own strength.

After speaking, the Poké Ball in Chen Qing's hand opened, and a Pokémon covered in dark gray gold-edged scale armor, with the scales on its tail making a clanging sound, shocked the audience with its high-spirited dragon might!

A late-blooming Pokémon (pseudo-legendary), Kommo-o, with the ability... Bulletproof!
