Chapter 46 Duo Queue, Against the Two Hoenn Champions! (Seeking Monthly Tickets!!)
As soon as Xia Chi uttered those words, the live chat exploded.

"Cute? Which one is cute?"

"So it can't be hidden anymore? Yes, Mizuya-sensei and I have a child!"

"Laoshui, what have you done! Remember this, this is the rising period of your career, and relationships will only become an obstacle!"

"It's over, the prison cell has collapsed due to flooding, what a tragedy!"

Faced with the angry comments, Xia Chi calmly explained, "Don't worry, everyone. The streamer is just a pile of ruins, it won't collapse. Mengmengda is the streamer's friend and someone you all know very well."

As we were talking, a Pogaman voice call invitation popped up in the lower right corner of the computer desktop, with the note: Qishu.

Barrage:"???"

Xia Chi answered the call, and Qi Shu's energetic voice came from the other end: "Ciao~ hello, good afternoon everyone, no, in Donghuang, it should be evening, right? Did you find it interesting to see Qi Shu in Shui Ye's live stream?"

The comments section was buzzing with excitement.

"No, Mr. Kisaki, don't play with water! People who play tactics are all dirty-minded, and the water in prison is even more sinister!"

"Ami, Kisaki shouldn't be dating for at least ten years after I'm dead!"

"Waaaaah, Mizuya, you deserve to die!"

"."

Before Xia Chi could respond to these comments, Qi Shu on the other end of the phone said, "Qi Shu is in the live stream. If you're a fan of Qi Shu, please don't say things that are bothering me and Teacher Shui Ye~"

Xia Chi snorted: "Don't bother with them. They're just trolls active in my live stream, jealous of my good relationship with you. I'll just use my level 5 badge to speak."

With one playing the good cop and the other the bad cop, the tension in the live stream quickly subsided.

Many of Qishu's fans wanted to criticize Xia Chi, but they were restricted by their signs and had to send a lot of gifts to comment.

I shouldn't send it; it's too painful to keep these thoughts to myself.

Send it; it's more frustrating to send gifts to someone you dislike.

Xia Chi's "Dark Psychology" perfectly captures the ulterior motives of anti-fans.

After settling things down in the live stream, the two officially started playing Pokémon: Champion Road.

------

This game has a duo mode, which is basically a disguised 2v2 doubles match.

However, this mode requires a high degree of teamwork and coordination between the two players, and it can easily turn into a "breakup kitchen" situation if not handled carefully, so few people play it.

However, the more complicated the situation, the more interesting it becomes. Xia Chi and Qi Shu hit it off and decided to abandon the 1v1 solo and instead play this doubles ranked game.

Because there are two players, the team composition is a 3+3 pattern, that is, one player chooses three Pokémon, and then each player chooses two more out of their three Pokémon, with one player commanding one Pokémon to fight together.

Xia Chi let Qi Shu choose three Pokémon first, and then he would fill in the gaps himself.

"Is it really okay to choose either one?"

"Sure, you can choose Magikarp."

Xia Chi chuckled: "I can't guarantee whether I can win or not."

"Hum~"

Based on the positive gaming experience, Qishu ultimately selected Babu Groundhog, Electric Swallow, and Cleanse Rotom.

Xia Chi asked curiously, "Oh, you chose a washing machine? I've never seen you use one before."

Qishu replied matter-of-factly, "You always have to try something new, right? What do you think of the inspiration you gave me with Patchles that time, Mizuya-sensei? What do you think of my Pokémon?"

"It's great. The [Levitate] ability gives it only one weakness to Grass-type, but it has many resistances and is very versatile. It can carry Taunt and Thunder Wave as support, or Hydro Pump and Thunderbolt for offense. Apart from its low HP, it has almost no flaws. I've always felt that this is an Electric-type Pokémon that is greatly underestimated, both in the game and in reality."

This isn't flattery of the richest woman on the list; it's Xia Chi's honest opinion.

In its previous life, the Washing Machine Pokémon was a popular choice in the competitive environment since its release, simply because it was easy to use.

Xia Chi originally planned to showcase it to the audience in a later live stream, but Qi Shu used it first.

Indeed, one should not underestimate the keen insight and talent of a gym leader. Thinking this, Xia Chi pondered for a moment and selected his three Pokémon: Rillaboom, Indeedee, and Shedinja.

The first two Pokémon are decent, but thanks to Xia Chi's "vigorous promotion," the current ladder environment is full of support Pokémon like Aizen.

But the final move, the shedding of the shell by a ninja, left the audience completely baffled.

Twenty percent of the viewers were asking, "What is the purpose of the Shedinja Pokémon?"

The remaining 80% of the audience were asking questions.

Who is the Shedding Skin Ninja?

Honestly, while Trapinch, Pachirisu, and Psyduck might be less common, at least everyone knows these Pokémon exist.

The issue of ninjas being able to shed their shells is no longer a niche phenomenon.

Isn't this too evil?
Xia Chi, as always, smiled without saying a word. Explanation?

Wouldn't it be easier to explain using real-world results?
After selecting the Pokémon and its moveset, Xia Chi pressed the match button.

Xia Chi and Qi Shu both had very high account ranks, and they couldn't find a match even after queuing for a long time.

However, with Xia Chi telling his "stand-up comedy" story, the atmosphere of the live stream was not boring. It wasn't until more than ten minutes later that the sound of a successful match was finally heard.

Xia Chi took a closer look and exclaimed, "Wow, queuing for so long was definitely worth it! Right across from me are Daigo and Mikey, the two best buddies."

One is the noble young master of Dewen, the former champion of Hoenn, and the other is the artist of water, the current champion of Hoenn.

Moreover, Daigo's championship wasn't won by being knocked out, but rather by his own voluntary abandonment of it because he was so engrossed in digging for rocks.

The appearance of these two Hoenn champions immediately elevated the prestige of the competition, and Xia Chi hurriedly changed the screenshot with their IDs to the cover of his live stream.

If you want to make money, you must pay attention to every detail.

At this point, the comments section naturally stopped teasing Xia Chi and Qi Shu and instead focused on the two big stars who had been matched up.

"Wow, two championships in one family! Is that good luck or bad luck?"

"Of course it's good luck! As long as the live stream is successful, Laoshui can make a fortune again!"

"Laoshui, Laoshui, among the four of you, only one of you hasn't reached the level of a Dojo Master. Who could it be? It's so hard to guess!"

"Putting everything else aside, in this match where everyone is good-looking, although Lao Shui's skill level is not as good as the other three, his looks are just as good."

"."

Qishu, on the other hand, was as energetic as ever. "Don't worry, everyone. Although the opponent is strong, Qishu will definitely do his best."

"The power's about to crackle and pop! Get ready for an electric shock!"

No, where did you give it to me?

Is this still my live stream?
Why do I feel like I'm that viewer?
Xia Chi was filled with doubt.

After Qishu finished cheering, he didn't forget to interact with Xia Chi: "You'll win, right, Mizuya-sensei?"

Xia Chi twitched his lips and nodded, saying, "Yes, we will win!"

Steven and Mikkle's six Pokémon are Metagross, Skarmory, Steelix, Milotic, Shishir, and Magikarp.

Most of them are their signature Pokémon.

Xia Chi originally wanted to give the Shedding Ninja its debut, to let the viewers experience the charm of "Miraculous Guardian".

But after thinking about the annoying Entrapment setter like Skarmory on the other side, I decided to give up.

After discussing it with Kiju, the two finalized their lineup as Daiden Kaien, Babu Tobo, Goro Goro, and Aigan.

With both teams' lineups finalized, the battle officially began.
