Chapter 152: The Third Battle Round Ends, the Possibility of Zhenyi's Victory! (Bonus Chapter 919 for Monthly Tickets)

(Review and Summary Chapter)

After concluding their meeting with Ye Ci regarding the collaboration on crystallization, the Pokémon injured in the finals had just finished their treatment.

Xia Chi retrieved the Poké Balls of Tirey and Misdreavus, and very discreetly left through the side gate of the arena back to the resort.

The end of this match not only marks the beginning of the Taijing wave, but also the settlement of Tongzige's [Battle Round 2-2].

It's that time of year again when we reap the rewards of our happiness!

Back in the room, wait for the tired elves to fall asleep.

Xia Chi took a very ceremonial bath and changed clothes, and after getting a little bit of luck from the legendary elf with Pengpeng, he began to take stock of his gains.

"Brother Tong, settle the rewards for the battle rounds!"

[Battle Round 2-2: The World Pokémon Academy Tournament has ended!]

[Assessing host performance.]

[System Rating: 100/100, Congratulations on obtaining a Prismatic Rank Orb*1!]

[The second phase of the battle has ended. Overall score: 300/300. Congratulations on obtaining a Prismatic Orb*1!]

[New Hextech Runes are now available. Would you like to make a selection?]

The cold, mechanical voice of Brother Tongzi sounded like heavenly music to Xia Chi's ears.

Two Prismatic Orbs, and a new Hextech Rune?
Xia Chi was taken aback at first, then excitedly picked up Ponpo, who was watching TV on Rotom, and kissed her on her cute face.

"Boni?"

Although Ergui Peng was somewhat confused, she never refused Xia Chi's affectionate touches.

She turned her head to look at Tire, who was fast asleep on the bed, and then happily snuggled back to her.

The phone, Rotom, which doesn't need to sleep, secretly took a picture of this scene with its camera, revealing a sinister smile.

When Tiremy needs to use her phone in the future, just "accidentally" play this clip, and her expression will definitely be priceless, Loto!

Unaware of what the evil Rotom was thinking, Xia Chi picked up Ponpo and continued her immersive unboxing.

"Then we'll choose Hextech runes!"

Holding two Prismatic Orbs, one would definitely check what they yield before deciding which rune to choose.

"Let's activate both Prismatic Orbs together!"

[The Prismatic Orb has been activated! Congratulations, host, you have obtained: Chosen Badge*1, Golden Spatula Crown*1, Giant Lucky Lantern*1, Pokémon Fragment (Ditto)*2, Basic Equipment Forging Tool*4!]

Two more new items!
A bunch of golden item icons indicate the rarity and value of these items.

Xia Chi has obtained both the [Chosen Badge] and the [Giant Lucky Lantern].

That's not entirely accurate. The last time the Shanghai Treasure Cup yielded a [Lucky Lantern], but this time it has the word "Giant," so there should be even more good items to be won!
Opening the item list, Xia Chi examined each of the newly created items.

The benefits of the [Chosen Badge] are self-evident; Tire Cat has one, and the 20% boost to all stats and the extra +1 synergy bonus are quite appealing.

As for that "exclusive move enhancement".
Because the cat's exclusive move [Thousand Transformations] can only be learned by evolving into Magic Masked Cat, Xia Chi doesn't know what the specific effects are yet.

However, the cat's evolution level is 36, while Tire Cat, after completing this tournament, is already level 26.

Judging from the efficiency of reaching level 16 and completing its first evolution just two and a half months ago, the cat won't be long before its final evolution.

Xia Chi didn't expect that the "chosen Pokémon" wasn't the only one in the same team.

So, who should get the second [Chosen One Badge]?

There aren't many options: Misdreavus, Shakiras, Evil Phantom, and the unhatched unknown Pokémon chicks from the [Giant Golden Egg].

After thinking about it, Xia Chi decided to wait and see what kind of elf egg was inside the [giant golden egg] before making a decision.

------

Next item: Golden Shovel Crown!
[Golden Shovel Crown: When equipped, team size +1, equipment slot limit +1!]

Xia Chi's eyes lit up. Just like in the game, it was equipment that increased the population cap!

The value of the "team size +1" attribute is self-evident. In any auto chess game, increasing population is key to improving combat power.

However, since its launch, the "total population" of this "Pokémon version of the Golden Spatula" has remained at six, with no possibility of increasing the population.

In the early stages, when there are few Pokémon, it's fine because the "population cap" is higher than the number of Pokémon that can be captured.

But once the [Giant Golden Egg] was opened, the number of his Pokémon reached five.

By then, the six-slot limit for elves would be insufficient.

After all, once you've completed the Six Evils synergy, there are still the Six Herbs synergy, Six Late Bloomers synergy, and so on that need to be upgraded.

The appearance of the [Golden Shovel Crown] perfectly solved this thorny problem.

What's even more user-friendly than in the game is that this [Golden Shovel Crown] can also add an equipment slot.

Although the total number of equipment items for the elf is still three after removing this piece of equipment, it will at least not affect the individual combat power.

Since it didn't matter who got it anyway, Xia Chi equipped Pengpeng with the [Golden Shovel Crown].

Let's move on to the next one.

[Pokémon Shard (Ditto*2): Use this on any Pokémon you have captured to convert it into a shard of the same Pokémon!]

This is simple and easy to understand: just give the fragments to the Pokémon that needs to be upgraded.

I just finished a major tournament and don't have any urgent need to upgrade my star level, so I'll keep it for now.

next.

[Giant Lucky Lantern (2-2): Opening it will grant you a large number of extremely high-quality items from this world (the intelligent prize pool will be unlocked based on your current situation)]

Essentially the same as the lucky lanterns that were opened before, the difference lies in the quantity and quality.

"Brother Tong, open the giant lucky lantern!"

[The Giant Lucky Lantern has been activated! You have received the following rewards: Zarude (Legendary) Life Seed*1, Yveltal's Feather of Destruction*1, Winged Hair (Legendary) Crimson Orb*1, TM (Dragon Dance)*1, TM (Earthquake)*1, and Dr. Orin's Research Notes*1!]

Xia Chi: "!!!"

The rich and generous Brother Tong is giving out really powerful rewards!

The value of the first three items goes without saying: Zarude, a Mythical Pokémon with both Grass and Dark types.

Although it may not be as high-class due to its communal living environment, the "legendary" label at the end proves that this item is not just for show.

It's the "Miracle Seed Pro Max Edition" that's perfect for breeding Tire Cat!
The same applies to Yveltal's Feather of Destruction. As the most prestigious cover god of the evil attribute, it is a perfect tool for refining the evil attribute energy of Shakiras.

As for the scarlet pearl of Zhenyifa...
There are quite a few legendary Ghost-type Pokémon, and given the usual style of the author, it's more likely that he'll give something like "Giratina's Black Gold Scale".

The result was that they gave Chow Yun-fat related props.
Is this hinting at something?

Xia Chi, who had been consistently using Zhenyi's single push, was now lost in thought.

(Sister Fa)
It wasn't that he was overthinking it; last time, the lucky lantern opened and he got a [universal healing capsule], and then he encountered a Tyranitar with a congenital disease.

Could it be that this time it's Sister Fa?
Although Misdreavus and Winged Wing are not related by evolution, they are still both Pokémon, so anything is possible.

Putting aside her thoughts, Xia Chi continued examining the props.

Next is the "Dragon Dance" move learner, which Xia Chi doesn't really need.

Tirey has a better gear shifter, and Shakiras can use Dragon Dance on its own, so Misdreavus doesn't need it. It's a good way to repay Cynthia for taking care of me recently.

Xia Chi couldn't help but laugh at the thought of the expressions on Dante and Daigo's faces when they saw this Garchomp that could perform Dragon Dance during the Eight Masters Tournament.

As for the [Move Learning Device (Earthquake)], Xia Chi kept it for himself.

It perfectly compensates for the fact that Tirion doesn't have a decent Ground-type move.

Finally, there is [Dr. Orin's research notes].

Xia Chi glanced through it briefly. It contained all of Dr. Orin's research findings from another timeline, from her youth to her death during the Paradoxical riots.

The most valuable items are undoubtedly the Crystal Bead and the method for making the time machine!
