Chapter 12 The Universe's First Hatched Cutie and Tapu Komaki
"By the way, Shin-Ye-Nyan, where do you want to sleep tonight?"

Xia Chi held the cat bed shaped like a water turtle shell and looked around the empty space in the room, then asked a question.

Xin Ye Miao had already chosen her spot, and with a leap, she jumped onto the wardrobe, which was over two meters high, excitedly shouting, "Meow!"

I want to live here!

Xia Chi looked at Xin Ye Miao, who was surveying her territory like a young lion looking down on it, and said with a helpless smile, "Fine, then you can take it up yourself."

Two vines stretched out from top to bottom, and the Water Blastoise Shell Cat Nest appeared on the wardrobe in the next second.

Xin Ye Miao manipulated the vines and arranged it for a while before nodding in satisfaction, "Meow!"

You're done!

The two of them, one person and one cat, spent the rest of the afternoon decorating the room.

It was already dark outside when they finally finished getting everything they had bought that afternoon ready.

Xia Chi made a high-quality nutritional meal for Xin Ye Miao, a recipe she learned from Miss Li Jia. She glanced at the time; there were only ten minutes left before the 7 o'clock broadcast.

Going out to eat would be too late, so Xia Chi calmly ordered a "godson's takeout"—

While his godfather status was still valid, he asked Chen Zhenze to bring him a meal from the cafeteria.

Then Xia Chi turned on her computer and started her live stream for the day.

"Hello hello? Moshi moshi? Aloha? Can you hear me?"

After the opening remarks in multiple languages, as always, the chat in the live stream room became lively.

"Teacher Shui is so punctual today, I love it!"

"Not turning on the camera again? Is Lao Shui really unable to face anyone now after being caught in a real-life incident after yesterday's broadcast?"

"From the Qishu supertopic, who twice mistook Qishu for a roadside dung beetle and kicked it to death? [Angry][Angry][Angry]"

"Stop it, Teacher Shui! The ladder is full of Trick Room teams now, and you're the one who started this mess!"

"."

That's the advantage of going live on time every day. Even before the broadcast started, there were already quite a few loyal fans interacting with Xia Chi in the live stream room.

While opening the login screen for Pokémon: Champion Road, Xia Chi selectively replied to the comments.

"Why doesn't the streamer turn on the camera? Well, mainly because they don't want to put too much pressure on the beauty section."

"Can't beat the Space Team? That means this student didn't pay attention in class yesterday. Mischievous Black Cotton, provocation, next."

"Hey streamer, did you do Qishu not go live today? Hey friend, don't talk nonsense, or I'll give you a fist as big as a naan from behind your hook."

However, as soon as Xia Chi finished speaking, some sharp-eyed viewers noticed that the account he logged into today was named "Strange Trees and Strange Tales".

The live chat exploded instantly.

"???"

"Liaoshui, try saying again that Qishu's failure to stream today has nothing to do with you?"

"Hey, I'll give you a firecracker for your face!"

"Hand over the strange tree! Hand over the strange tree! Hand over the strange tree!"

Faced with the angry barrage of comments, Xia Chi calmly said, "Since everyone has seen it, let me tell you, today I helped a boss rank up with a custom team, and the limited Pokémon is Pachirisu."

Even without Xia Chi explaining in detail, the audience could roughly guess that the boss was Qi Shu.

Qi Shu's intention in wanting Xia Chi to rank up with Patchwerk is self-evident—he wants Xia Chi to embarrass himself during his live stream.

The tone of the comments shifted instantly, with a barrage of "???" replaced by "hahaha".

Xia Chi smiled without saying a word as he looked at the group of viewers watching the spectacle in the live stream.

You guys are still too naive!

------

Xia Chi's teammates for Patch Liz didn't pull any fancy moves.

Amoonguss, Garchomp, Sylveon, Incineroar, and Rillaboom. Each of them, taken individually, was a legendary figure in the Pokémon battle world in their previous lives.

This is the first time Xia Chi has paired up with such an incredibly strong team.

It's not just because Qishu's account has a high rank.

The main reason is that you get a Master Ball for every win, who could resist that temptation?
However, these Pokémon aren't that popular in the game world, at least not as much as the Pokémon Master.

Therefore, this somewhat unfamiliar lineup still sparked a considerable amount of discussion in the live chat.

After editing the moveset and individual player assignments, Xia Chi clicked the button for doubles ranked matches.

The world's level of importance placed on Pokémon doubles matches is about the same as some people's XP—very niche.

This has been improved considerably in the game "Pokémon: Road to Victory".

From a tactical perspective, doubles is indeed much more versatile than singles.

So, not long after queuing, Xia Chi entered the first match of the day's live broadcast.

Qishu Qishu VS An unknown trainer from Miarei!

Xia Chi had no recollection of this nickname, and after glancing at the comments, she didn't find any key information.

"He should just be a regular pro player. Watch how I get off to a winning start today."

After making his threats, Xia Chi glanced at the opponent's lineup and raised an eyebrow slightly.

Brimwyn, Longhair Troll, Mimikyu, Constructor, and Super Armored Rhino?

"Why does this lineup look so familiar?"

Xia Chi's feigned contemplation sparked a new round of discussion in the live chat.

"Doesn't this look familiar? Isn't this just a copy of Teacher Shui's lineup from yesterday?"

"Hahahaha, I knew the ladder was full of Trick Room teams today!"

"Hilarious, Mimikyu has run into Pikachu now."

"They actually replaced the Trapinch-Ant with the Super Armored Rhinoceros? Selling off the Soul Spirit for a few stat points, shameful!"

"As you can see, the prison water is about to be replaced by the underworld tactical fermented bean curd we developed ourselves!"

Xia Chi smiled knowingly, "Is this the Space Team's fermented bean curd?"

Did you ask for the opinions of the universe's number one hatchling and Tapu gorilla?

He swiftly selected four Pokémon—Fountainfowl, Incineroar, Raptor, and Pachirisu—and immediately executed a tactical backflip.

Do we need to look for good live streaming content? It's just delivered right to our doorstep.
The competition officially began as the screen displayed the new image.

Xia Chi's two starting Pokémon are the twin starter Pokémon from Generations 8 and 9: Incineroar and Rillaboom.

The opponent's starting elves are Brim and Longhair Troll.

As soon as the battle began, the extremely realistic game screen showed a field covered in lush green grass.

Rillaboom's ability activated, Grasshopper—

When it enters the field, it will set up Grassy Terrain, which can boost the power of Grass-type moves and continuously restore the HP of all Pokémon!

Immediately following was the terrifying aura emanating from the Blazing Roaring Tiger—Intimidation!
The physical attack power of the opponent's two Pokémon decreases by one level.

Looking at the two Pokémon opposite him, whose spirits seemed somewhat dampened by the intimidation, Xia Chi stroked his chin.

"Starting with two spacers in the starting lineup, I understand."

The advantages of starting with two space hands are self-evident; they offer more room for error and can create Trick Room.

If the opponent doesn't have a Pokémon with [Taunt], the long-haired troll with [Mischievous Heart] will still set up Trick Room as usual, while Brimwyn will act as the Trick Room attacker.

However, when the opponent has a Pokémon that can [Taunt], like in this match.

Then it will require both sides to strategize and determine which spirit is the one who released the magic space.
