Chapter 675

"And the procedures before the competition, it would be better to handle them together while taking this opportunity."

"Good."

Qingyu nodded and followed Lance's footsteps.

Lance would specifically come to pick him up, besides work reasons, it should also be to take him, a "newcomer" who is participating in the tournament for the first time, through the process, to prevent him from not knowing what to do after arriving in Goldenrod City, right?

Although he didn't say it clearly, but...

Thank you, Mr. Lance, you are so gentle!

The more he came into contact with Lance, who is known as the "Messenger of Justice," the more Qingyu felt that he is definitely a good person, completely different from the character design in the manga.

It is no wonder that he has such high popularity all over the world.

If you want to say what the most famous landmark building in Goldenrod City is, perhaps the vast majority of locals will blurt out—

"It's the Pokéathlon Dome!"

The imposing building, abbreviated as Pokéathlon Dome, is undoubtedly one of the best giant arenas in the entire Johto region and even the world.

Compared to the venue in Mesagoza during the last Dragon-type Master Tournament, this place clearly looks much more modern.

"This Pokéathlon Dome is the venue for the upcoming Psychic Master Tournament."

While passing by, Lance subconsciously introduced, and at the same time, his tone became a bit proud.

"The Pokéathlon Dome can accommodate 80,000 spectators at the same time. It is definitely the most ideal venue for large-scale events!"

Actually, let alone Lance, even a new trainer who just got their initial Pokémon in Goldenrod City would subconsciously puff out their chest when mentioning this battle building in their city.

"Not bad!"

Qingyu gave a sincere compliment.

"Near the Pokéathlon Dome, there is a natural park that is open for a limited time, where you can encounter some Pokémon that are relatively common in Johto."

When entering the hotel near the Dome, Lance seemed to suddenly remember something, subconsciously turned his head to look at the other side, and quickly looked at Qingyu with eyes that carried a bit of inexplicable meaning.

"However, there are a bit too many Bug Catchers nearby who like to find people to battle. If Teacher Yu encounters them while taking a walk, please show mercy."

"..."

While Qingyu was silent, he couldn't help but twitch his mouth.

What kind of person do you take me for!

Am I, Qingyu, that kind of evil character who likes to bully children and torture newcomers?

Of course not!

After walking into the hotel, besides a few contestants who seemed to be seriously preparing for the battle and exchanging experiences, there was also an Officer Jenny sitting in front of the counter, showing a polite smile.

"Look, it's Teacher Yu!"

I don't know which little clever ghost recognized Qingyu at a glance. In an instant, almost all the guests in the lobby turned their heads in unison, focusing their eyes on the figure appearing at the door.

Thus, Qingyu, who appeared with Lance, unexpectedly became the most dazzling "star" in the audience.

"Teacher Yu, I am your fan!"

"Teacher Yu, forever the god!"

"If we meet in the group stage, you must show mercy, Teacher Yu!"

"No! I don't want to be an opponent with Teacher Yu!"

This group of excited contestants was actually very polite. They didn't surround him immediately, but instead issued round after round of "friend declarations" to Qingyu from a distance.

"That's enough, everyone, students should also work hard."

Qingyu's expression was as usual, just like when he was live streaming, and he greeted them with a smile.

But in his heart, he was actually already sweating profusely.

Good guy, are the levels of my friends actually this high, even participating in the Master Tournament?

Although the Type Master Tournament doesn't have a hard rule that only top-tier trainers like Gym Leaders and Elite Four members can participate, for other elite trainers, it is not an easy thing to participate.

At least the strength requirements are still very high.

It seems that there are really hidden dragons and crouching tigers in my live broadcast room...

As for Lance beside him, he also glanced at Qingyu, who was a bit puzzled, with a smile.

It seems that Qingyu doesn't seem to know yet that his popularity and influence in other regions are actually not much worse than in Paldea.

Just in Kanto and Johto, the number of Gym Leaders Lance knows who have been influenced by his ideas is countless.

However... judging from the performance of these contestants, is this Psychic Master Tournament really going to become a friend tournament for Qingyu's live broadcast room?

After completing the registration procedures and registering information at Officer Jenny's, Qingyu's pre-match work can be considered to have come to an end.

"Okay, you must be very tired after rushing from Paldea. Next, I won't disturb Teacher Yu's rest."

Lance, who was assisting him in completing the form-filling work behind Qingyu, breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said goodbye to Qingyu.

After parting with Lance, Qingyu walked into the hotel elevator and found his temporary residence on the top floor according to the number plate.

Since it is a room prepared for contestants, it is clear that the League has considered it very thoughtfully. Not only is it very spacious, enough to accommodate more than ten small and medium-sized Pokémon, but it is even equipped with special facilities for Pokémon to rest.

And the first thing Qingyu did after entering the room was to put down the shoulder bag he had been carrying.

"Mew~"

After discovering that he had touched the soft ground, Mew, who had been hiding in the backpack, quickly revealed its head and showed its iconic mouth-covering sneaky smile expression to Qingyu.

"You were quite well-behaved this time."

Regarding Mew's perfect performance of not revealing any flaws along the way, Qingyu couldn't help but stretch out his thumb and give it a like.

Of course, Qingyu himself certainly didn't have a way to make Mew become obedient, or rather, this guy Mew who does whatever it wants depends entirely on its own will.

And the reason it could endure for so long is naturally the new fun it can see in the next period of time.

"Mew~"

Mew easily crawled out of the shoulder bag and looked at the brand-new environment around it with great curiosity.

After tacitly allowing its behavior, Qingyu quickly sat on the soft big bed, and at the same time did not forget to take out a few Poké Balls from his pocket.

As streaks of red light flashed, his Pokémon partners quickly appeared.

"Bui!"

Like Mew, Sylveon was also full of curiosity about the brand-new and unfamiliar environment, and even its eyes shone with a light full of desire for exploration.

"Lucario..."

Compared to Mew and Sylveon, Lucario showed another extreme.

Stepping on the unfamiliar ground, the strange tactile sensation from the soft wool floor instantly made Lucario vigilant. It closed its eyes and began to scout the surrounding environment with aura power.

Soon, the Pokémon in the entire hotel, including other nearby facilities, were roughly understood by the "scout" Lucario.

But because of this, Lucario's expression quickly became more serious, and even its brows were slightly wrinkled.

The number of powerful Pokémon is even more than it imagined before coming.

And... most of them seem to be Psychic-type Pokémon.

If it was before the training with the two Master Dojo masters was completed, even if it successfully evolved, perhaps it wouldn't have any good way to deal with them.

But now...

"Lucario!"

Lucario opened its eyes sharply, and its expression became extremely solemn.

Decided, during this period of time, I will practice the unique skills learned in the Armor Island Dojo!

Lucario subconsciously clenched its right hand into a fist, and at the same time, a special energy that seemed a bit evil and exuded thick black gas also appeared.

"Umm...?!"

The sharp Indeedee sister was stunned for a moment, then was immediately startled by this energy and subconsciously shrank behind Mewtwo.

"..."

Regarding the performance of his Pokémon, Qingyu's expression was slightly complicated.

At least it has also undergone the special training of "Mew Master" and received the same treatment as Lucario, so why does this Indeedee sister always seem unreliable?

That's right, during this period of time, with the help of Mew, this "miracle doctor," the psychic awakening plan for the Indeedee sister has already had a qualitative leap.

Although there might be a little bit of a small discrepancy with what Qingyu thought at the beginning, at least the result is good.

Now the Indeedee sister already has the ability to stand on its own, but the method might be a little unexpected.

Regarding what kind of expression future opponents will show when they encounter it, Qingyu is actually looking forward to it a little bit.

"Bonie?"

Facing the unfamiliar environment, Ogerpon also looked a bit dazed.

Especially since their location this time was on the top floor of the hotel, this feeling of being far away from the ground made Ogerpon a little unaccustomed.

It seems that there is no way to farm during this period of time...

Although before leaving, the fields near the Gym had been temporarily entrusted to Kingdra, but sure enough, it still felt that its work had not been completed.

However, the purpose of going out this time is to participate in the competition with Qingyu, so I can't lose face for the trainer!

Thinking of this, Ogerpon subconsciously clenched the Hearthflame Mask hidden under its coat.

"Gao..."

Miraidon, the only one who looked like a complete outsider dragon, after lazily yawning, consciously lay on the carpet and soon let out a low roar of enjoyment.

"..."

Qingyu shook his head helplessly, consciously skipped this salted fish dragon who eats and waits to die, and turned his gaze to other Pokémon who were familiarizing themselves with the environment.

"Next, we have to work together to strive for a good ranking!"

While Qingyu spoke with a smile, he took the initiative to stretch out his right hand, hovering in the air with the back of his hand facing up.

"I will work hard to bring you victory."

Mewtwo was the first to understand. When looking at Qingyu, its expression was extremely serious. After speaking, it learned from Qingyu's appearance, stretched out its right hand, and placed it on the back of his hand.

"Lucario..."

Lucario let out another low roar. After restraining the Dark-type energy that was unconsciously exuded from its hands, it repeated the same action.

Although I don't know if my strength can take on the heavy responsibility and defeat so many powerful enemies, but...

As long as it is the trainer's goal, I will do my best to help him achieve it!

"Bonie?"

Unlike the serious expressions of the other two Pokémon, Ogerpon quickly showed a sweet smile and continued to place its hand on it.

"Umm..."

The Indeedee sister still looked a bit uneasy, but after taking a deep breath, it still cheered itself up and reached out to stack it on top of Ogerpon with energy.

"Bui!"

By the time Sylveon, who was exploring the room with Mew, reacted, it seemed that only it was left among Qingyu's main forces who hadn't acted yet.

It immediately trotted over, learned from the others, and stretched out two ribbons as a substitute for its hands.

"Mew~"

Theoretically, Mew does not belong to the Pokémon that will participate in the competition this time.

However, regarding the little hand it actively stretched out, Qingyu also signaled it to join in with his eyes.

"Then, next, everyone has to work together!"

As Qingyu's words fell, he and his Pokémon raised their right hands upward at the same time.

And then, swung down sharply.

"..."
