Chapter 163 Incubation, the Birth of Victory Star Victini!

"Babu, now! Dragon Dance!"

Qi Shu's commands were transmitted to everyone's ears through the headsets.

Number of times: "."

audience:"."

Hey buddy, do you want to hear what you're saying?

Should Babutubo use [Dragon Dance]?

Do you think you're Xia Chi?
next moment.

Everyone fell silent as Babuto watched as he immediately began to dance wildly, wriggling his chubby belly, after slapping Raichu.

Only the comments section remained enthusiastic.

【No way, even Dragon Dance Babu and Groundhog are here! Who taught you how to breed illegal Pokémon?】

My friend (referring to Xia Chi) helped me cultivate them, is that any of your business?

[The Strange Tree: The spirits aren't bad, it's me who's become bad!]

【Oh no, sis, you've caught Xia Chi's influence! You're going to turn bad!】

[I'm so hungry! Xia Chi, can you turn me bad too? My caterpillar says it wants to learn the dragon dance too!]

[Caterpie? You should evolve into Rayquaza first!]

As everyone knows, Xia Chi is not only an excellent trainer, breeder, mythologist, and Pokémon researcher, but also an excellent teacher. Even Babutopug could teach Dragon Dance!

[The Garchomp shed tears of envy!]

Could it be that illegal activities can really be spread through apricots?

Although Xia Chi was not visible on the screen at all, and no one mentioned her.

But the moment they saw this utterly illegal dragon dance, Babu Tubo, everyone immediately thought of Xia Chi.

Well, this is called word-of-mouth!
Without a doubt, Qishu, who was originally just a normal trainer, not only started using strange tactics, but his Pokémon also became strange.

The reason is that she's been infected with Xia Chi!

Although most of the comments were joking, the envy and jealousy in them were undeniable.

Who in the world doesn't want to become a powerful trainer?

Seeing how Qishu went from a first-round exit contestant to a strong contender for the championship in such a short time, it would be a lie to say that one wasn't envious.

I really want to latch onto Xia Chi's coattails!

Unbeknownst to everyone, Xia Chi's image in everyone's mind had completely shifted—

From Xia Chi living off Qi Shu, to Qi Shu clinging to Xia Chi's coattails.

------

Off-field matters are off-field matters.

The battle on the field continues.

To be precise, it's only just begun.

Denji is, after all, a trainer with the strength of an Elite Four member, and his mental stability is extraordinary.

He quickly regained his senses and shouted, "Raichu, play around!"

Fairy-type moves are effective against Fighting-type moves, and [Play Rough] is currently Raichu's most threatening move against Babuto.

"Dig a hole!"

Strictly speaking, Kiju's command came before Denji's.

So before Raichu's [Playful] punch landed, Babu had already dug a hole and hidden underground.

For Dragon Dance, whose speed has undergone a qualitative leap after its upgrade, this is not a difficult task.

Denji gritted his teeth and commanded, "Raichi, trick!"

The only way to force Babuto out is to use a boost. As soon as it comes out, I will immediately command Raichu to use Play Rough to attack it!

The ground trembled, and it looked as if Babu Tubo was about to burst out of the ground. Dianci immediately shouted, "Play!"

The battle-hardened Raichu also stopped its trickery and enhanced itself, focusing on playful antics while waiting for Babuto to be drawn out.

However.
As if he had anticipated Denji's thoughts, Babuto only made a feint and did not appear.

"trick!"

I changed my approach again, and this time I really stepped up my strategy!
The instant that the Mischievous Mist Energy appeared above Raichu's head, Babuto burst out of the ground!

boom--

The damage from double the counter-attack plus the Dragon Dance buff is terrifying!
But Raichu still endured the pain and used [Narcos] to the full extent, instantly gaining a huge boost to his Special Attack!
Kiju's lips curled into a devilish smile, "One more time!"

One More Time: A Normal-type status move that can only be used three times in a row by the Pokémon that was hit.

That is, [trickery]!

Number of times: "."

One act of cunning is greed, four acts of cunning are courting death!

Seeing the energy wave hit Raichu again, he didn't hesitate to pick up the Poké Ball and prepare to trade Pokémon.

Just then, Qishu shouted, "Babu!"

Upon hearing the news, Babubo, who had just unleashed its second attack, used the speed advantage boosted by [Dragon Dance] to run between Raichu and Denji!
Denji, who had never watched Xia Chi's competition, pressed the Poké Ball button without knowing anything, and then a red light shone on Babuto.

Number of times: "."

The dojo master's on-site command ability was much stronger than that of Kaki, who was also a victim.

After a moment of hesitation, he shouted, "Run this way!"

Raichu turned around instantly and ran towards Denji.

Qishu didn't chase after them, but instead shouted, "Babu, Dragon Dance!"

He gritted his teeth in frustration, but there was nothing he could do about it.

Raichu's move has been locked into [Again] as [Nasty Plot], and they are mutually strengthening each other?

Do you think Babu will defeat Raichu in two close-range battles after the third Dragon Dance?
Unfortunately, Denji had no choice but to recall Raichu and send out Xeno'jiiva instead.

The X-Rayet Cat's [Intimidation] effect is immediate.

Although the bonus effects of the two [Dragon Dance] attacks were not completely eliminated, the attack power of Babu Groundhog was not as high.

Let's just give it a shot.
However, Dianci underestimated the value of the 50% physical attack bonus and 100% speed increase.

Babu Groundhog was already slightly faster than Roentgenrakilist, and with the added boost of Dragon Dance, it completely controlled the pace of the game.

Whether it's [Spirit Fang] or [Playful], Xeno'jiiva's extremely threatening attacks are always dodged by [Dig].

But he dared not enhance it—the example of Raichu was still fresh in his mind.

Denji felt that fighting Babuto was like hitting a ball of cotton with needles hidden in it, which was extremely disgusting.

Is this the miraculous tree after its transformation?
Although Denji had made ample preparations after watching Kisaki's first two matches, he was still quite tormented.

The battle between Babubo and Raichu, as well as Xeno'jiiva, was a microcosm of the entire final.

Even though Babuto had just won against Rotom and Electivire, he collapsed from exhaustion under Rotom's [Air Blade].

But after seven days of intensive training with Xia Chi, the remaining Pokémon of Qi Shu—Electrode, Mismagius, and Cyclops—are all highly skilled.

And when the last Pokémon of the Electric Era, Eelfin, also fell victim to the Saifuu gold rush.

The final results of this year's Electric Property Expert Competition have finally been announced—

Qishu, who was not favored by anyone before the competition, won the crown!

------

[No way, you really won, Kisuke? Your character is ruined, you know?] [Kisuke won the Electric Attribute Expert Tournament? At least make the story believable! Why didn't you say Babu the Groundhog had the Dragon Dance?]

[If anyone ever says "I can't do it" again, I'll show them this video. If Kiki can win, what can't he do!]

Heaven rewards diligence!

[Dude, you call this "hard work pays off"?]

[Kiki after winning the championship: Hey you, go and call Ye Ci over here!]

[Will Qi Shu really put Xia Chi's name into the family tree after winning this championship?]

[No need to include the family genealogy; Qi Shu can just add his own page from his household registration to Xia Chi's family register.]

[I used to say Xia Chi was unworthy of Qi Shu, but now I can only say, what makes you so special, Qi Shu!]

【.】

What's both strange and not strange is that after Qishu won the championship, the most discussed topic in the comments was not Qishu himself, but Xia Chi.

It wasn't just the comments section; even Kiki himself felt the same way.

During an off-field interview, almost every sentence he uttered in ten minutes contained the name "Xia Chi".

In addition, there's the lively and bright expression on her face and her sparkling eyes whenever she mentions Xia Chi.

It's almost as if he has "I like Xia Chi" written all over his face.

The comments section was also full of jokes—

[Reporter: There have been rumors lately that you like Xia Chi. Is that true? Qi Shu: Let me clarify, this is not a rumor.]

However, Xia Chi did not have time to respond to Qi Shu at this moment.

Because the post-match interviews had only just begun, what he truly loved was—

Victini's fairy egg then began to glow with a soft, shimmering light.

"Is this commotion a sign that it's about to hatch, Rotom?"

In the players' lounge of Qishu, Xia Chi tried to suppress his joy and asked this question.

I got the elf egg from Tongzi on February 26th, and today, March 13th, it's been exactly half a month.

It was precisely because of this precise timing that Xia Chi has been taking the elf egg with him almost constantly these past few days.

Even though today is the most important final for Qishu, he didn't choose to watch the match outside because he had a Pokémon egg with him, but instead went to the rest room.

And sure enough, signs of hatching appeared right after the competition!
Rotom floated over to the Pokémon egg, inspected it, and happily confirmed, "That's right, the Pokémon egg is about to hatch, Rotom!"

Upon hearing this, Xin Ye Miao and Er Gui Peng gathered around.

Shakiras also wanted to run over and join in the fun, but was bound to the spot by Misdreavus's psychic powers.

Mengjie very sensibly scolded, "Miyao! (We've finally reached a crucial moment, let's not cause trouble!)"

Xia Chi didn't notice the little incident involving the two elves; at that moment, his whole heart was focused on the soon-to-be-born Victini.

He asked somewhat helplessly, "What do I need to do, Rotom?"

"No need for Loto! A healthy Loto is a spirit that hatches without external assistance!"

Rotom thought for a moment and added, "But a newborn elf will regard the first person it sees as its mother, Rotom. Xia Chi, do you want to be its mother, Rotom?"

"Uh"

Xia Chi hesitated for a moment, but for the sake of being closer to the newborn Bictini, she gritted her teeth and said, "A male mom is fine!"

Tiremy glanced at Evil Phantom, then cunningly took a step forward, getting closer to the Pokémon egg.

That way, the new partner can see Xia Chi as the male mother and me as the female mother.
------

Perhaps it had been curious about the vast world outside for a long time, because Victini inside the eggshell shook the egg very vigorously, and a dull knocking sound came from inside.

Xia Chi and the elves, who were waiting nearby, were so nervous that they dared not speak, and even involuntarily held their breath.

They were afraid of disturbing the birth of this new life.

The faint glow gradually brightened, and the bright and warm sky-blue light shone through the eggshell, illuminating the entire room like a dream.

The sounds of impact inside the eggshell became more frequent, followed by a crisp, subtle tearing sound.

At the top, the first crack suddenly appeared, and a dazzling golden-red light leaked out from it.

Like a signal, the appearance of the light triggered a chain reaction, and more cracks spread rapidly from the golden-red light spot to the entire eggshell like a spider web.

at last.

At the moment when the light shone to its fullest, an invisible force suspended the shattered eggshell in mid-air, revolving around it like a ring around a star.

Rotom was stunned by the magnificent scene and murmured, "So this is how elves hatch, Rotom?"

At the center of the light, a small, fox-like figure with soft cream-colored fur flicked its signature large "V"-shaped ears.

A pair of pure blue eyes, as clear as the sky, slowly opened, filled with the bewilderment and curiosity of someone newly arrived in the world.

Bictini curiously turned its big head.
It might be a bit impolite to say this, but compared to its petite body, its head is excessively large.

But it's a Psychic-type Pokémon, so it's understandable.

“Tini.”

In those pure, jewel-like blue eyes, the first thing reflected was Xia Chi's smiling face.

Xia Chi also crouched down, bringing his line of sight to the small star of victory, his smile warm and sincere.

"Hello, Victini, welcome to this world~"

This voice!

Bictini's large, V-shaped ears trembled slightly.

It looks so familiar.
During the long and boring two weeks that it spent curled up inside the little elf egg, it was this voice that pierced through the thick eggshell and accompanied it day after day!
“Tini.”

Bictini's curious voice was filled with affection.

It spread its cream-colored little wings and leaped into the air, landing directly on Xia Chi's face with a joyful whooshing sound!

Xia Chi felt a sudden darkness before his eyes, and then his entire face was half-covered by a soft dough.

What mythical beasts, Victory Star, Victini.

It's a complete facehugger!
Bictini, however, was unaware of Xia Chi's thoughts.

Its four little paws were tucked in, as if it had found the safest harbor.

Then he rubbed his fluffy, warm head against Xia Chi.

While making soft, contented purring sounds, like a cat, she murmured, "Tini~ Tini~"

Xia Chi, who was almost out of breath, took it off her face with both hands.

I wanted to say something like "Don't hug there," but when I met Victini's unblinking, trusting, and affectionate deep blue eyes, I realized I didn't want to blink.

What else is there to say?

Well, hugging someone for a short while won't suffocate them.

He gently stroked the warm base of Victini's ear and smiled, "Nice to meet you, Victini~"

Bictini squinted her eyes in enjoyment, her small body curling up in Xia Chi's palm.

"Tini~"

Newborn elves tend to be quite sleepy.

Even mythical beasts cannot avoid it.

The intimate time between Xia Chi and Bictini hadn't been long ago.

The little guy snuggled against Xia Chi's warm palm and fell asleep.
