Chapter 158 Babu Tubo: Sorry, Egui Peng, I won't hold back! (4k)

"What are you doing? If you need to train, wait until after dinner to go to the dojo."

Qishu, who was carrying a plate out of the kitchen, saw Babu Tubo dancing in the living room, and her beautiful eyes widened instantly.

In a moment of distraction, I didn't even hold the seafood risotto firmly in my hand.

If it weren't for Misdreavus's quick reaction and psychic powers to hold her back, she would have missed out on staple food for lunch today.

Even if I've never eaten pork, I've seen pigs run.

Although Qishu, as a gym leader, does not have any Pokémon that can use Dragon Dance, he has defeated quite a few Pokémon that can use Dragon Dance.

Therefore, she could tell at a glance that the move Babu Tubo was using at that moment was not [Bodybuilding], but [Dragon Dance]!

What's going on? Am I sleepwalking?

Sama Kiju's first suspicion wasn't about Babutobo, but whether he himself was sober.

As is well known, Dragon Dance is a very powerful enhancement move that only benefits certain Dragon-type Pokémon or Pokémon species that are closely related to Dragons.

Babu the Groundhog, an electric rat, has absolutely no connection to either of the above.

So how did it learn this move?
To be precise, how did I learn this technique while making a seafood risotto?
Qi Shu was very curious!

The Qishu couldn't continue cooking, but luckily the little cook Mengyao was there. She didn't care about the shocked Qishu and her fairies at all and went back to work in the kitchen.

Hmph, I've seen this kind of little scene countless times at home!
"So, you mean that Babu Tubo just learned the Dragon Dance by following Shakiras once?"

Qishu still found it incredible, "But... this doesn't feel like Pokémon at all."

Xia Chi didn't know how to talk to her. He couldn't very well force an explanation like, "I see that your Babu Tubo has the aura of a dragon, and I've concluded that he's a descendant of a dragon and has the potential to learn dragon dance."
Babubo Egg Group is a purely land-based group, what does it have to do with dragons?
It's better not to explain at all, since my Pokémon already has a lot of illegal activities.

He's just a Babu Tubo who can do dragon dances, nothing to brag about!
As expected, Xia Chi hadn't said anything yet.

Over there, Qishu, who had regained some of his senses, glanced back and forth between Tirey and Shakiras before turning to look at the Dream Demon busy in the kitchen, his face showing a knowing and touched expression.

"Thank you, Xia Chi!"

She walked over and hugged Xia Chi tightly.

Xia Chi: "."

See, I told you so.

What's the point of having a brain if not to fill in the blanks?

Although we don't know what Qishu was imagining, the matter was finally resolved safely.

"Alright, it's nothing. Good luck in the competition in a few days!"

After comforting her, Xia Chi forcibly pushed Qi Shu away.

At seventeen or eighteen, one's energy and blood are at their peak, and Qishu is a very charming woman.

So, those who know, know.

If I hug it any longer, I might get shocked by one of the Pokémon's electric shocks.

Xia Chi bent over and sat back on the sofa. Qi Shu also calmed down, but a blush still lingered on her beautiful and delicate face.

I don't know if it was because I was too emotional just now, or something else.

"Don't worry, I'll definitely win the championship right here at home!"

Qi Shu stared intently at Xia Chi with bright eyes, confidently making a pledge: "For Padia, and to live up to your trust!"

"Pu Bo!"

Babu Tubo, who had just experienced a miraculous moment, also responded loudly.

Xia Chi smiled slightly.

That's quite ambitious; thankfully, it's not something like "making it to the semi-finals is considered a success."

He said seriously, "But it's not enough for Babu Tubo to just master [Dragon Dance]; his tactics and command strategies also need to be adjusted."

Qi Shu sat attentively listening to the lecture, and the clear naiveté in her eyes made her look even more like a pure and innocent college girl.

Well, although in this day and age, the words "pure" and "female adult" are no longer easily associated.
Even without the [Dragon Dance] teaching incident, Qishu would definitely value Teacher Xiachi's tactics class.

She provided commentary throughout the entire college competition, and she had a deep understanding of Xia Chi's commanding skills.

If a Pokémon's strength is the hardware, then the trainer's nurturing and command abilities are the software.

The situation with Xia Chi and Chi Hong is definitely a case of hardware not matching software.

As for Qishu, to put it mildly, the two are a fairly balanced match.

------

Since it was still a while before lunchtime, Xia Chi took advantage of the break to begin his lecture.

"I've watched your official match videos before, and your tactics and command are a bit too rigid."

Since it was a class, Xia Chi didn't care about emotional intelligence anymore.

He bluntly stated, "For example, Xeno'jiiva, [Intimidate] plus [Volt Switch], is a very basic rotation against physical attackers, you see it less than once a game on average. Secondly, is your Mismagius only capable of [Charge Beam] and [Shadow Ball]? When fighting defensive Pokémon, what about [Curse]? What about [Pain Relief]? And Cyclops, my god, how can you use such a strong Pokémon like that?"

The relentless output stirred a complex mix of feelings in Qi Shu, a mixture of shame and admiration.

The other elves who were criticized had no pride left in their hearts at this moment.

I still vividly remember the scene when Babuto learned Dragon Dance, and the trainer also looked very respectful to his teacher.

They naturally perked up and listened attentively.

Time always flies when you're putting your energy into it.

Qishu felt like it hadn't been long when he heard Mengyao's urging voice coming from the kitchen.

Xia Chi stood up and said, "Alright, let's stop here for now. Talking more is just theory. After we finish eating, let's go to the battlefield and put it into practice."

Since the teacher had said so, Qi Shu dared not be a disobedient student.

Reluctantly pulling herself together, she called the elves to go eat.

Misdreavus may have a greater talent for cooking than for battling.

The Padiya specialties prepared by Kishu were so authentic that even Kishu, a local resident of Niangguang City, exclaimed that they were truly delicious.

This is not a compliment about high emotional intelligence.

The mouth is the most deceiving, and the mouth is also the least deceiving.

Padina seafood risotto, light cod soup, oxtail stew in red wine
The table full of food was completely devoured by Xia Chi, Qi Shu, and the elves.

As always, the Dream Demon performed steadily, and nodded in satisfaction as it watched this scene.

We apologize for the poor hospitality!

I was planning to play a match right after dinner, but strenuous exercise after a full meal is bad for my health.

Therefore, Xia Chi came up with a truly ingenious idea.

"How about we play a game? Let's choose 6v6, no move restrictions. You can use your Pokémon, and I can use Lt. Surge or Zenyatta's team. How about a simulated match?"

Although there are still significant differences between gaming and real-world combat, this approach is indeed a good idea for creating realistic combat.

Qi Shu's eyes lit up, and he readily agreed.

But she quickly frowned, looking troubled: "The problem is, I think I only have one computer at home. How about we go to an internet cafe?"

Xia Chi rolled her eyes. "Go ahead if you're not afraid of being discovered by your fans."

Qi Shu chuckled.

It wouldn't be so bad if people found out that I was so close to Xia Chi, would it?
She had a sudden inspiration and suggested, "How about we go to an e-sports hotel?"

Xia Chi thought for a moment, then nodded and said, "Okay!"

Since I'm going to play games anyway, it doesn't matter where I am.

------

The first cosplay by Xia Chi was Lt. Surge, and the entire lineup consisted of the signature Pokémon of this Team Rocket trio.

Raichu, Electivire, Jolteon, Electrode, and so on.

They won 6-4 without any suspense, with Xia Chi winning 6 and Qi Shu winning 4.

Xia Chi said, "Let's switch computers. I'll use your lineup, and you can use mine."

In the second game, Xia Chi used the Qi Shu lineup, with Qi Shu cosplaying as Lt. Surge.

The score difference widened even further, 6-2, Xia Chi still leading 6-2. Xia Chi didn't comfort the somewhat dejected Qi Shu, and continued, "Let's make another substitution."

The third one.
The fourth one.
The two played eight games in total, switching lineups, and finally, in the last game, Qishu defeated Xiachi with his own lineup.

Score 6:3!

Xia Chi, who was finally able to rest for a while, rubbed his temples and said, "That's why I said, Qi Shu, your lineup is much more comprehensive."

There was no sound beside her. Xia Chi turned her head and found Qi Shu looking at her, with something sparkling in his bright and beautiful eyes.

Xia Chi joked, "What? You think that's enough? Keep going, let's switch to the next tactic!"

Qi Shu hesitated for a moment, then smiled and said, "Okay~"

The two of them simulated all the contestants in this electric attribute expert competition.

Although in official matches, Kiju will only fight against a maximum of three of them.

This is assuming she makes it to the finals.

But this is not just about simulating how to deal with different opponents, but also about helping Kiju become familiar with new tactics for his own lineup.

After doing all that, both of them were so exhausted that they collapsed onto the bed.

There wasn't much of a romantic or ambiguous atmosphere. We were focused on playing over twenty 6v6 matches in a row. Even if each match only lasted ten minutes, it would still take four or five hours.

Such an intense game is no longer entertainment, but torture.

Xia Chi doesn't want to move at all right now.

"They were saying they were going to have a match."

Qi Shu muttered something, then suddenly remembered something and immediately jumped out of bed.

"Oh no, it's so late, Babu Tubo and the others will be worried!"

They had only planned to use the time to digest their food and do some Cyber ​​training, so they didn't bring their Pokémon out.

Who would have thought that the two of them, caught up in the moment, would train until dinner time!

Xia Chi and Qi Shu exchanged a glance, then, ignoring their exhaustion, hurried home.

It turned out that the elves were very independent, and by the time the two returned home, they had already become inseparable.

The one who gets along well with you and "becomes one of the same kind".

The elves didn't seem too worried about Xia Chi and Qi Shu's late return.

Except for Tilley, who suspiciously circled Xia Chi several times and sniffed for a long time.

Qishu was too exhausted to prepare dinner.

However, as the host, I felt a little embarrassed to have the guest, the dream demon, cook for me, so I ordered a table of takeout.

Anyway, you can tell from the packaging that it's definitely not going to be cheap.

As for the taste, although it couldn't compare to the Misdreavus's cooking, it was still passable, and the Pokémon ate most of it.

So after eating and drinking to their hearts' content, they fell into that problem again.

Vigorous exercise after a meal doesn't seem like a good idea, so...?

The two were itching to head back to the e-sports hotel when they were stopped by Mismagius and Babuto.

The competition is in seven days, so let's skip all training today!

Qishu made the decision: "Then we'll move into the dojo tonight and go into seclusion for seven days!"

------

Of course, there are places to stay at the Niangguang Dojo, and there are quite a few rooms.

When Qishu was still a small-time streamer, he would sleep in the gym with the Pokémon every day.

I only moved out because I felt it was better to keep my life and work separate.

However, the dojo rooms were kept very clean and tidy, making it possible to move in immediately with just your luggage.

After Xia Chi and Qi Shu finished tidying up their rooms, it was just past eight o'clock.

So the two decided to have a tense and exciting coaching battle before going to bed.

"Speaking of which, doesn't your Brewing Light Dojo have any dojo apprentices or anything like that?"

Walking towards the battlefield, Xia Chi asked curiously.

"There must be!"

Qi Shu gave Xia Chi a reproachful look, as if to say, "You're so stupid, you didn't even think of that," and said, "A gym needs at least dozens of people to run smoothly, including apprentices, staff, and Pokémon doctors!"

Xia Chi said knowingly, "They've already finished get off work, right?"

Qi Shu nodded and said, "Yes, because of some things, the museum is closed today."

As she spoke, she suddenly remembered something and muttered to herself, "Right, let's close the dojo for the next seven days too. Just leave a doctor at the dojo and focus on the competition!"

Xia Chi said speechlessly, "With such a long closing time, aren't you afraid of getting complaints?"

Qi Shu chuckled, "Go ahead and complain. Anyway, the Brewmaster Gym has been number one in satisfaction rating for three consecutive years. Let's step down and let Glusha and the others compete for it!"

Xia Chi, being an outsider, didn't care about all that, shrugged, and remained silent.

Upon arriving at the main arena of the dojo, the lights were turned on, and the entire dojo was instantly illuminated as if it were daytime.

As the battle drew closer, Qishu became even more lively.

Holding the Poké Ball in her hand, she exclaimed excitedly, "Then, this kid will be my first choice!"

A flash of white light, and Babu Tubo appeared.

Its eyes no longer held the gentle warmth it had at home; they were now filled with fighting spirit.

Xia Chi smiled slightly and said, "Pongpeng, let's use 30% of your power first!"

After all, it's the gym leader's main Pokémon, so there's no need to look down on people by saying it's only one-tenth or something.

According to Xia Chi's observation, Ponpo's strength is significantly weaker when she is not wearing a mask.

Perhaps it only has the strength of an average Champion Pokémon?

Without a mask and using 30% of his strength, his attack power should be comparable to that of an elite gym leader, right?
Aside from a friendly sparring session with Tao Dailang and Sanbaoban, Xia Chi hadn't had any other real combat experience and was just figuring things out first.

"Boni!"

Standing beside Xia Chi, E Guipeng stepped aggressively onto the battlefield.

However, without the mask, her cute face makes it impossible for her to be fierce.

Ponpo's earnest blinking starry eyes made her fierce defiance seem like she was being cute.

Babu Tubo: "."

Oh, you want me to bully a little girl?

Although it had never seen this kind of elf before, it really liked this well-behaved and gentle elf.

Qi Shu glanced helplessly at Babu Tubo and said, "Take it seriously, Babu Tubo."

Since the trainers have said so, what can Babu Groundhog do?

Turning its head, its eyes rekindled with fighting spirit, it shouted, "Bubo!"

I'm sorry, although I like you a lot, this is a battlefield, and I won't hold back!

"A flash of lightning!"

Xia Chi issued the order.

next moment.

Before Babu Tubo could even see anything clearly, he felt his head sink and his body fly up into the air, feeling weightless.

Snapped--

The sound of Babu Tubo's broad body falling to the ground rang out.

Ponpo blinked her big eyes and looked back at Xia Chi, her eyes filled with a hint of grievance.

“Boni.”

Did I mess up?
