Chapter 44 Can You Release Your Green Vine Snake? (Please Read On!!)
A high-five surprise attack, a shadow claw strike—and the match was over.

The entire battle lasted too short a time, so much so that most of the viewers were still guessing who would win or lose when the referee blew the whistle to signal that one of the Pokémon had lost its ability to battle.

"I don't think Newleafy will have a good chance of winning, after all, Hitmonlee has evolved??? Holy crap, what happened?"

"Holy crap, one Shadow Claw instantly killed him!"

"New Leaf Cat: I don't know, I thought it was a caterpillar so I just swatted it to death."

"What kind of attack power is that? Even if Flying Kick is fragile, it shouldn't be able to kill you in one hit, right?"

"A professional trainer analyzed it and found that Shadow Claw's damage was the main issue, but [High Kick] has the characteristic that it will hurt the user if it misses. After using Shadow Claw, Neoleafy became a Ghost-type that is immune to Fighting, so High Kick naturally couldn't hit it and instead kicked the ground. Therefore, Hitmonlee's already low health was further reduced. But then again, this cannot hide the fact that Neoleafy's attack power is really high!"

"Does '666' mean you kicked yourself and got a backlash that killed your ingrown toenail?"

"What happened? My girlfriend called me to cook when the match started, how come the match is over just as I finished?"

"Bro, do you think you're the Flash?"

"It's okay, three seconds is already pretty impressive."

"Hilarious! Flying Kick Bro beat you in a flash, and Quick Gun Bro beat you in a flash too, huh?"

"."

After all, it was the shortest match since the start of the main tournament, and it was an unbelievable match where New Leaf Cat instantly defeated Flying Leg Lang.

The comments section erupted with enthusiastic discussion.

However, Xia Chi was unaware of all this. After successfully advancing to the top 16 in the competition, he brought Xin Ye Miao to the professional medical room equipped in the Rainbow Bridge Arena.

Although New Leaf Cat only suffered damage from the high-five attack throughout the entire match.

But even the smallest injury needs treatment, in case it turns out to be a fatal mistake in the afternoon's match.

As Xia Chi entered the medical room and handed the Poké Ball containing the new Leaf Cat to the doctor, she suddenly caught a glimpse of an unexpected person out of the corner of her eye: Lin Lange.

She was sitting on a chair in the medical waiting area looking at her phone, most likely waiting for the treatment from the Green Vine Snake.

It wasn't really unexpected. Xia Chi's match ended quickly, so it was quite reasonable for him to run into Lin Lange, who had just finished his match, in the medical room.

Xia Chi didn't try to avoid anything and sat down not far from his "ex-wife sister," maintaining a social distance of two seats between them.

Then watch the live broadcast of the next match; the winner between them will be Xia Chi's opponent in the afternoon.

"Thank you for taming it."

A clear, cold voice suddenly reached my ears.

Xia Chi pretended not to hear and continued looking down at her phone.

The breathing beside him became slightly heavier, and Xia Chi could even sense that the girl next to him was turning her head to stare at him.

Xia Chi curled his lip in disdain. He had no intention of tolerating the rude behavior of this "second-generation rich kid" and "campus goddess".

After staring at him for a while, Lin Lange realized that the other party really wouldn't speak unless he said something.

She said with a hint of helplessness, "Xia Chi, I'm talking to you."

"Oh, senior, you called me."

Xia Chi looked up suddenly, her face innocent, and said, "I thought you were on the phone, with a Bluetooth headset or something. After all, you didn't call my name, right?"

Lin Lange was completely unable to get angry at the soft yet barbed attitude; both reason and courtesy were on the other's side.

As for taking advantage of her senior status to throw a tantrum?
The Eastern Empire was not a society like Kanto or Johto, where the hierarchical relationships had become unhealthy.

Naturally, I wouldn't say something like, "Xia Chi, do you think the water in my cup will fill up by itself?"

Lin Lange took a deep breath and calmed himself down, saying, "Xia Chi, I am truly grateful that you were able to tame the new Leaf Cat."

Xia Chi nodded and said, "I am truly grateful that you were able to abandon Xin Ye Miao, otherwise how could I have found such a wonderful partner?"

Xia Chi could swear that his words were completely sincere and heartfelt, without a trace of sarcasm.

But Lin Lange clearly didn't think so. She felt that the other party was mocking her for being blind, and her face instantly turned cold.

Xia Chi completely disregarded the sudden drop in temperature and continued, "By the way, senior, if you lose later, will you release the Green Vine Snake?" Lin Lange's mood was already at its lowest point.

She turned to stare at Xia Chi and said in a deep voice, "Xin Ye Miao wasn't abandoned by me because of that lost match. I can't reason with you. You think your breeding philosophy is correct? What right do you have?"

"No, no, no, senior, please don't misunderstand."

Xia Chi quickly interrupted, "I don't care why you abandoned Xin Ye Miao, nor do I intend to criticize or change your breeding philosophy. I just want to ask a question."

After a pause, he said a little embarrassedly, "Could you tell me where you released the green vine snake? I think your green vine snake is doing quite well."

boom!
Before Xia Chi could finish speaking, Lin Lange slammed his chair down, got up, and left.

"Hey, Lin Lange, your Green Vine Serpent!"

The nurse called out loudly from behind, and the girl finally went over with a dark face to take the Poké Ball. Then she glared at Xia Chi and walked away.

"You can't even give me a definite answer about whether you're going to tell me or not."

Xia Chi muttered softly.

He was really craving that green vine snake.

Not only can it form the Grass-type synergy, but with the speed of Serperior after evolution, it might even form a [Speed-type] synergy, which is simply perfect.

As for criticizing Lin Lange's training philosophy, that is an even greater injustice.

Xia Chi is not that saintly.

"Xia Chi, your new Leaf Cat has also been healed."

The nurse's shout interrupted Xia Chi's thoughts.

"Oh, okay, thank you."

After receiving the Poké Ball, Xia Chi returned to his player lounge.

As the top-level newcomer tournament in Shanghai, the Hubao Cup provides excellent services for its participants.

Lunch is delivered by a dedicated person, and you can get more if you're not satisfied. Fresh tree fruit and high-quality energy blocks are also available in unlimited quantities.

Xia Chi and Xin Ye Miao treated the place like a buffet and had a great time.

So much so that when Xin Ye Miao went on stage for the second game in the afternoon, her belly was still bulging, and she almost crashed because of it.

However, no matter what, the opponent's Haunter ultimately couldn't stop Xia Chi and Xin Ye Miao from winning the game.

After advancing to the quarterfinals, the quarterfinals of the Shanghai Bao Cup will be held next weekend.

Firstly, it allows the players' Pokémon to get plenty of rest.

Secondly, who in their right mind would go to watch a game on a weekday?
------

"I am back."

"Meow Coffee!"

After the match, Xia Chi and Xin Ye Miao did not stay at the Rainbow Bridge Arena for dinner, but returned to their dormitory immediately.

That poor little dream monster must have been bored at home all day.

As soon as the door was opened, a rich aroma of smoky meat wafted out.

At the dining table in the living room, Chen Zhenze and his Pipi were drooling over a large, glistening piece of beef rib.

As soon as Xia Chi entered, Chen Zhenze immediately called out, "Dad, you're finally back. Go wash your hands and then come eat."

Xia Chi: "."

No, you've been possessed by a dream demon?
