Starry Sky Train, I opened a small shop on the train

Chapter 381, Firefly: Incaros! Part 1!

More than an hour later, the competition officially began.

The news of the start of the match resounded throughout the region.

Spectators flocked to the venue from the street.

In less than ten minutes, all four squares were packed with people.

The area outside the square was also packed with people.

The surrounding shops and shopping malls were all packed with people.

Especially on the side closest to the venue, many tourists, no matter how expensive, insist on having a booth after entering the store.

A teahouse called Flower Tea Shop is making a fortune; the current customer spending alone has reached nearly one million yuan.

Inside the venue, the atmosphere was bustling with activity.

The quarterfinalists are all waiting for their turn.

Eight people, each positioned in a different location, each standing on a movable platform.

Xing, accompanied by Miris, descended from the sky amidst the attention of the crowd, sitting regally on the throne, exuding an aura of dominance.

The gold dust slowly made its way onto the stage.

"Ladies and gentlemen! Distinguished guests! Today, we are about to enter the final moments of our first Pokémon Tournament!"
Let's cheer for the eight contestants present and our Pokémon King's trainer, Xing!

The audience applauded and cheered for their favorite contestant.

"Go, Firefly! You must win the championship! You're the best!"

"That's right! Incaros is so cool!"

"Yura! Go Brook! You're the face of our water-type! You must make our water-type shine!"

"That's right! Water is the strongest!"

"What water-type is the strongest? We psychic-type are the strongest, every single one of us is a rare-level Pokémon!"

Psychic types are awesome! Psychic types are mighty!

"No? You're dividing yourselves into factions like this now?"

"Yeah, that won't work. It's definitely not like that in reality, but it is like that for elves. You don't understand."

"Exactly! The Shadow School is heresy! Only the Holy Spirit School is orthodox!"

"How is the Shadow School heretical? I think your Holy Spirit School is the heretical one!"

Sand Gold listened to the audience's heated discussion about the elves and felt satisfied.

"No matter which lineage it is, they are all orthodox. Elves are our companions, playing with us, working with us, and living with us."

I believe that most of you here already have your own Pokémon.

Ask yourselves honestly, isn't that true?

As soon as Sand Gold spoke, many people looked at their own sprites.

Yes, elves have truly changed many people's lives.

Sand Gold continued.

"Everyone, if you want to buy Pokémon, please make sure you buy from the official sales outlets."

One is the company's Elf specialty store.

Second, the company's shopping app.

The rest are all pirated or counterfeit.

Without further ado, let me announce the list of the top 8 to 4!

Sand Gold paused, then coughed twice to clear his throat.

"Match 1! Firefly VS Walter"

Match 2! Fu Xuan VS March 7

Match 3! Yura vs. Amber
Match 4! Yanqing VS Sunday

The match has officially begun!

As soon as Sha Jin finished speaking, all the spectators erupted in cheers.

At the same time, two spotlights shone down, one of them illuminating the firefly.

The other one also shone on Walter.

The platform beneath their feet moved toward the central arena, and the two slowly stepped onto the arena, immediately beginning their fight without a word.

"Go! Jonas!"

"Incaros! Attack!"

The two released their little sprites.

Incaros spread his wings and soared into the air, leaping towards Yonas.

Jonas immediately released a shield to block Incaros's attack.

Walter saw that Jonas had blocked the attack.

"Well done, Jonas! Keep using Shadow Barrier!"

Following Walter's command on Jonas Street, the Shadow Barrier was unleashed once more.

Seeing this, Liu Ying remained calm and composed.

"Incaros! Keep the pursuit! Use Dreambreaker!"

Upon receiving the order, Incaros instantly appeared behind Jonas, and his two giant mantises swung down at Jonas.

The barrier around Yunas was actually absorbed by Incaros, and Yunas suffered some damage from the attack.

Walter was quite surprised, as Incaros had never used this skill in previous matches.

"Firefly saw Walter looking slightly surprised and said..."

"This is Incaros's skill, Dream Breaker, which can absorb the opponent's abilities to improve their status and deal a certain amount of damage."

Walter heard this.

"Icarus actually has this skill? You're quite good at hiding it."

"Firefly said with a smile."

"Because we never needed to use this trick before."

"Incaros! Use Sky Soaring Slash! End this match!"

Walter quickly gave instructions to Jonas.

"Yonas! Engage in direct combat! Use the Dark Portal!"

Yunas summoned a portal from which a surge of dark energy flowed forth.

Despite the onslaught of shadow energy, Incaros instantly appeared in front of Yunas, slashing down with both arms and severely injuring Yunas.

Similarly, Incaros also sustained some injuries.

However, the problem is not very big.

On the contrary, Jonas has essentially lost his fighting ability.

Seeing this, Walter couldn't bear to see Jonas suffer any longer.

Yunas was already countered by Incaros, and Fighting type is super effective against Dark type.

Not to mention that the opponent is a top-tier (T0) Fighting-type Pokémon.

“Yonas, come back. You’ve done a great job.”

On the referee's stand, Emerald and Toppa, seeing this, immediately declared Firefly the winner.

In the stands, the audience was also very satisfied with the battle just now, and the aftershocks of the fight between Incaros and Yunas even spread to the stands.

Many slender spectators were so weak that they could barely stand.

Especially during the final showdown, almost all the audience members could only remain seated and couldn't stand up.

If it weren't for the intervention of the gold dust to neutralize the aftershocks of their battle, some people in the audience might have died.

This scene was also a hot topic among the viewers in the live stream.

"Wow, impressive. It's not even safe to watch a game these days. Look at all these people here, hardly any of them can stand up."

"Indeed, when that aftershock swept over, those guys at the scene basically sat down like wheat being harvested."

"If the gold mining director hadn't intervened, someone might have been in trouble."

"I'm so envious! I wish I had a Pokémon that strong. It would give me an absolute sense of security, okay?"

"It's not like everyone doesn't want it. The problem is, didn't you see that there are so many people in this first batch? Other elves have multiples, but these few are the only ones?"

"What does this mean? Is this even possible?"

"Didn't you know? A while ago, some experts did a statistical analysis online and found that some very powerful Pokémon are unique."

"Huh? I was thinking of investing in incubating Incaros in a few days."

Soon, the second match began.

The platform beneath Lisabubu and Fu Xuan's feet began to move, and the two spirits stepped onto the arena. Fu Xuan looked at Lisabubu, feeling extremely troubled.

However, now that we're in the ring, let's give it our all.

"Dawn Rabbit! In the name of love!"

Upon hearing this, the heart-shaped symbol above the Dawn Rabbit's head flashed a pink light.

In the Name of Love, Dawn Rabbit's core skill, can inflict a burn status on the target.

Sparks instantly flew from Lisa Bubu's body, and she was burned.

Fu Xuan saw that the name of love was in effect and immediately ordered Dawn Rabbit to continue its attack.

"Dawn Rabbit! Use Dawn Moon!"

A burst of white light emanated from Dawn Rabbit's body, and a projection of the moon appeared above its head. Dawn Rabbit looked up and howled, and the moon projection emitted a beam of moonlight that shot towards Lisa Bubu.

Upon seeing this, Lisa Bubu immediately unleashed her skill "Golden Green Leaves," instantly healing her injuries.

At the same time, a green light emanated from Lisa Bubu's body, indicating that any new injuries would heal quickly.

Once the moonlight rays disappeared, Fu Xuan, seeing that Lisa Bubu was completely unharmed, also chose to give up.

Well, I can't beat them. I've used up all my ultimate moves and I'm fine, so there's no need to try any other methods.

The result of this match was not surprising; it was within reason.

After all, everyone has witnessed Lisa Bubu's perversion.

Dawn Rabbit is also a Pokémon that tends to be explosive. After a burst of power, it will basically fall into a period of weakness.

Next up is the third match.

Yura and Amber's civil war.

Yura summons Brook, and Amber summons Bumblebee.

Amber stands with her hands on her hips.

"Yura! Even though we're best friends, I won't hold back! Bumblebee! Let's go! Use Tornado!"

The bumblebee flew into the sky, summoning a small tornado that hurtled towards Brookk.

Seeing this, Yura calmly pointed at the tornado.

"Brook! Use Wave Roar!"

Brookk waved his hand, and a wave swept out, instantly engulfing the tornado.

Sand Gold sat by the ring, feeling extremely fortunate.

"Luckily, I had the foresight to build the arena very large, otherwise it really wouldn't be able to hold so much water."

The entire arena is very large, covering a full 4 square kilometers.

The waves released by Brookk covered the ground, and Bumblebee lost its landing spot.

Fortunately, the bumblebee can fly and has not lost its fighting ability.

Yura pointed again.

"Brook! Keep using the penetrating water gun! Shoot! Take Bumblebee down!"

Seeing this, Amber could only make Bumblebee keep dodging.

Brookk's Piercing Water Gun skill has extremely strong penetrating power, which even Jonas's powerful Shadow Barrier cannot withstand.

If Bumblebee gets hit, he will basically lose his fighting ability.

Brookk fired dozens of penetrating water jets but still failed to hit Bumblebee.

Seeing this, Yura chose to unleash Brook's trump card for a decisive battle.

"Brook! Use Ocean Heart!"

Upon hearing this, Brookk began to chant, and a wave-like sound spread outwards.

The bumblebee's expression instantly turned pale, and it seemed to lose all its vitality.

Amber was stunned by what she saw.

"Yura! What kind of skill is that?"

Eula said.

"This is Brookk's ultimate move, Ocean Heart. Any target hit by the ripples will have their stamina continuously reduced."

Bumblebee has already been hit and cannot escape the influence of Ocean Heart.

Left with no other choice, Amber had to admit defeat.

The final fourth game.

Yanqing and Sunday stepped onto the ring.

Both players kept a low profile during this competition.

Yanqing's Pokémon is a Fighting-type Pokémon named Gagar.

That's right, it's Gager, the sprite of the green robot Atieda from the Seer anime.

Sunday also saw the release of its own spirit.

A Psychic-type Pokémon! Nenephindo! A Pokémon that loves music very much.

Her beautiful music has magical effects, and like Aksia and the others, she is an SPT Guardian-level spirit.

Furthermore, Nenephindo even possesses a super-evolved form.

On Sunday, I looked at Yanqing.

"Give up, Gargant is no match for Nymphindo."

Yanqing snorted coldly.

"You'll only know if you try! Gager! Use Charge!"

Seeing this on Sunday, he secretly shook his head.

"Ninephic, use Siren Elysium."

As Nenephindo lightly touched the ground with his forefoot, many musical notes rose from the ground.

Gager was hit by the note before he could dodge, and his body went limp and he collapsed to the ground.

Not only Gager, but many audience members also suffered, falling asleep one after another.

If someone hadn't woken them up, they probably would have fallen into a deep sleep.

This was the first time Nenephindo had used this move in front of everyone.

They've been hiding their true intentions until Sunday, but now that they've entered the quarterfinals, there's no need to hide them anymore.

Nymphindo walked over to Gargle, bent down, picked him up, and placed him under the ring.

Seeing this, Toppa and Emerald ruled Gager out.

Yanqing sighed, turned around and woke up Gager, then left the arena.

The four finalists have now been determined.

Fireflies, March 7th, Sunday, and Yura.

The audience did not leave their seats because the semi-final was scheduled to begin in half an hour.

Many audience members got up and went to the restroom.

The line outside the restroom was packed with people. The game was so exciting that there wasn't a single dull moment. Now that the game is over, I feel the urge to pee.

Gold, jade, and topaz also occasionally have their employees push carts to sell snacks and drinks.

Many viewers chose to buy tickets, enjoying snacks while watching the game – what could be better?

Milim and Paimon each bought a carload, and the two of them sat in the private compartment eating snacks like crazy.

Watching the game? No way, they're here to eat snacks.

Milim is having so much fun that she's forgotten all about home. Since boarding the train, she's only returned to her territory once.

That time, I went back to get magic crystal ore; otherwise, I wouldn't have brought it back at all.

Just kidding, nowhere over there is as fun as here. Not only do we have all sorts of fun games, but we also have a lot of delicious food that I've never tried before.

Go back? Go back and eat boiled radishes again? Then sleep when you're tired, eat again when you wake up, and sleep again? How boring! What a waste of life!
Rimuru also brought Benimaru and Shuna to watch the match today.

After watching the match, Benimaru realized that he was no match for those Pokémon.

If these elves are this strong, I can't imagine how strong their owners must be.

But thinking about it, it makes sense. These people are Rimuru's friends. Rimuru is so powerful, his friends must be extraordinary as well.

Backstage.

Furnessa and Robin are putting on makeup.

The makeup artist looked at Funina.

“Ms. Fulina, I’ve noticed a problem. You only have a few outfits for your performances. It’s time to buy a few more.”
