Chapter 14 Encountering the formidable enemy, Qibana, fighting with all one's might
Xia Chi had no interest in the cacophony of comments.

He wasn't in a hurry to start the next game. He cleared his throat and said, "Ahem, is Professor Qishu here? Um... has the payment been settled, boss?"

In the advanced game, Patchlitz entered the game and won.

Logically speaking, given the stringent condition that only two out of three conditions should be met at most, Xia Chi actually managed to achieve a Grand Slam.

Even Qi Shu, who was secretly observing from behind the screen, had to admit that Xia Chi's strange tactics were quite something.

After sending out a Master Ball, Qi Shu still typed, unconvinced, "Consider it feeding it to Growlithe. Keep going."

It wasn't just stubbornness; after watching just one match, Qishu vaguely sensed the power of these Pokémon.

It's not the kind of overwhelming power in the traditional sense, but the kind of power that makes people grit their teeth in hatred.

She really wanted to know the potential of Xia Chi's lineup.

As soon as the lurking Qishu popped up, a huge barrage of comments copied the message, making it impossible for Xia Chi to miss it.

He rubbed his hands together excitedly, not because he enjoyed being scolded, but because he understood.
"New Leaf Cat, we're going to get rich!"

Xia Chi picked up Xin Ye Miao, who was lying on the computer case to keep warm, took a deep breath, and chuckled.

With the encouragement of Qi Shu's generous reward, Xia Chi devoted himself to the game with even greater focus.

The team itself is also very strong, with the Blazing Roaring Tiger and the Thunderous King Kong attacking in rotation with their double palm strikes.

The fury of the mushroom powder and the powerful control of the mushroom spores were exposed.

Garchomp and Sylveon deliver devastating damage.

And Pachilisz, uh, Pachilisz's cheering.

In short, in just half a night, Xia Chi used Qi Shu's account to achieve a six-game winning streak, quickly pushing her rank from Advanced Ball Level 4 to Master Ball.

Among the opponents they encountered were Gym Leaders such as Matsuha from the Johto region and Fuyu from the Unova region.

During this time, viewers in the live stream also learned about Xia Chi and Qi Shu's bizarre bet.

Whenever Xia Chi sends Patchlitz into the game to snatch a victory, that's when the chat is always at its busiest.

"Water Teacher, how can you cheat Qishu out of his Master Ball like that? Doesn't your conscience hurt?!"

"Garuda MVP! Patch Leeds just won by doing nothing!"

"Stop talking, or the prison will start whitewashing Patchwerk again. Ugh, why are you guys so focused on this damage output?"

"."

Such comments flooded the screen.

Teacher Qishu not only excels at clearing Master Balls, but also helps create entertaining content for the show. He's such a great guy!
Xia Chi thought to himself with these feelings.

Before we knew it, the time had come to nearly ten o'clock amidst our winning streak.

"Alright, alright, this is really the last game of the day. If I win this one, I'll reach Master level. Let's finish this game and end the stream!"

Xia Chi pressed the ranking button and rubbed his temples as he did so.

To be honest, Road to Champions is a really brain-intensive game. If I had to make an analogy, it would be a MOBA game where you need to control two heroes.

It requires both the reaction and real-time operation of LOL, as well as the instant judgment and overall situational awareness of DOTA.

However, it is precisely because of this that it is so rich and exciting, attracting so many top trainers to play.

For example, Xia Chi's last game in tonight's live stream.

Strange Trees and Strange Tales VS Dragon's Storm!

Dragon Storm? That nickname sounds familiar.
Xia Chi pondered for a moment, then looked at the barrage of comments that had surged again.

"Is this ID... Qibana?"

"Ahhh, it's my husband's turn in line!"

"Ranked 13th in Masterball, it really is Cibana!" "It is Cibana, he just started streaming and got matched with Prison Water in his first game, hahaha!"

"Chibana is getting better too, he can actually fight against Teacher Shui."

"Is he the owner of the Galar boxing arena who claims to have the strength of champions from other regions?"

"Heh, that's just the Galar people bragging. Do you really want him to try and touch Lance or Adek?"

"You mean the Dodo that was almost beaten to a pulp by Leon's three Pokémon? Don't make me laugh."

"You have the nerve to say that? Wasn't it you Galar who used tricks to block Dragonite's visa?"

"How about giving it a try in the Kanto region?"

"."

------

Xia Chi was speechless as he looked at the chaotic barrage of comments.

It seems that regional prejudice exists in every world.
Although the chat had somehow gone off-topic and started arguing, Xia Chi was certain that the opponent he was matched with this time was undoubtedly—

Leon's formidable rival, the leader of the Punch Gate Gym, the strongest Gym Leader, the strongest in Galar right now, the Dragon-type master, Dragon Storm, Kibana!

While having so many titles might make people think, "Sorry, there's not enough room for everyone," Qibana's strength is undeniable.

Putting everything else aside, ranking in the top three among all dojo masters should be no problem.

Well, excluding Blaine who caught Mewtwo in the special episode, Giovanni is first, Sabrina is second, and next should be Raihan.

You can tell just by looking at his luxurious training deck—Alumina Bridge Dragon, Desert Dragonfly, Tyranitar, Salamence, Goodra, and Kommo-o.

Five of the six Pokémon are pseudo-legendary, and while their stats seem impressive, they actually conceal a potential sandstorm team composition.

In short, this is the strongest opponent Xia Chi has ever encountered.

When the lineup selection phase began, Xia Chi glanced at the live chat and found that for some reason, these guys suddenly started spamming the screen.

"Play this game well, if we win we'll get ten Master Balls!"

Needless to say, this is a copy of a message from a wealthy patron's mother.

Xia Chi's gossipy nature was piqued. Did Qi Shu and Qi Bana have a grudge?
Although Xia Chi had no recollection of the interactions between these two characters spanning two generations in the game and anime.

But he wasn't really sure if the two had any interaction in the real world.

However, this was clearly not the time for gossip. Xia Chi made a solemn pledge: "No problem, Teacher Qishu, we'll definitely win this round!"

Then, without hesitation, he selected Incineroar, Sylveon, Garchomp, and Pachirisu.

The final move, Patchlitz, left all the viewers on the screen wondering what was going on, with many even thinking that Xia Chi had forced the little mascot on again for the sake of the show.

But is this really the case?

Okay, that's true.

It's just an ordinary ranked game match; losing isn't a big loss, winning is a huge bonus.

Moreover, the deeper reason is that neither Rumble King Kong nor Mushroom is actually suitable to appear in this match.

First, the opposing team consisted entirely of Dragon-types, rendering Tapu Rumble's prized Grassy Slide utterly ineffective.

While the Mushroom is dirty, the Kommo-o's ability is likely to be [Dustproof], which prevents it from consuming [Mushroom Spore].

Its effect may not be as great as Patchlitz's.

As for whether Pachirisu can replicate the legendary feat of the white Pachirisu fighting against two dragons in the Pokémon World Championships, that remains to be seen.

Amidst the cacophony of comments and discussions, both sides selected their lineups, and the match officially began.
