You are not allowed to be a Pokémon Trainer!

Chapter 54 No, is your Tire Cat legal?
Xia Chi didn't have high expectations when she saw that the prize pool for the [Lucky Lantern] was labeled as "items from this world".

The first few props were indeed like that.

Whether it's a miracle seed or a cursed charm, they may be a bit expensive, but they are both obtainable through existing means.

Even the all-powerful capsule and the [training aid] that makes Pokémon battle training twice as effective are still manageable, at least they're not that outrageous.

But what the heck is a [Move Learning Device]?
Isn't that something from a game?

And what's even more outrageous is that it's universally applicable to all Pokémon!
Brother Tongzi, you're even better than the game!

Hmm, that seems to be true.

Regardless, this gear-shifting move learner really hit Xia Chi's sweet spot.

Shift: A Steel-type status move that increases the Pokémon's Attack and Speed ​​by 1 after use!

What does that mean? It's like an enhanced version of Dragon Dance!

This move is to speed-type Pokémon what Rock is to Steven, and Pikachu is to the Rocket trio—

It's an irresistible temptation.

Garchomp has been craving Dragon Dance for years, but in the end, it just got a free upgraded version of Shift.
Not to mention, this is a noble steel-type skill.

It wouldn't be of much use to other Pokémon, but Xia Chi has a Tire Meow with the [Transform] ability!
The sight of a Steel-type Tiraemon appearing on the battlefield was so beautiful that Xia Chi couldn't even imagine it.

Xia Chi felt that this one move learner alone was worth half a golden orb.

Without hesitation, he said, "Use the Gear Shift move learner on Tire Nyan right now!"

【Used successfully! 】

Xia Chi couldn't wait to open Tire Meow's Pokémon information and quickly skimmed through the move list.

[Moves: Falling Petals, Bite, Shadow Claw, Magic Leaf, Sharpening Claw, Acrobatics, Grass, Gear Shift]

!!!

Tongzi's dad, you're really something else!
Tire Cat can shift gears.
I reckon next time I play against someone, I'll get yelled at with things like, "Is your Tire Cat even legal?"

Comfortable.

Xia Chi looked up, completely satisfied.

Another surprise was discovered.

【Tire Cat】

【.】

【Bond: Evil Attribute (2) Defeating opponents will collect Fear Points. Every 100 stacks of Fear Points will provide an additional 10% damage. Unlocking Fear Points will grant you a large number of rewards! (Current Fear Points: 90.1)】

My fear level is finally almost at 100.

But wasn't he only in his early seventies when I saw him yesterday?

Xia Chi exited and glanced at the battle log again.

[Your Pokémon, Newleaf Meow (lv.15), defeated Green Vine Snake (lv.30), leveled up to lv.16, and evolved into Tire Meow! Gained 10.3 Fear Points!]

Holy crap, no wonder it was so difficult to play.

So Lin Lange's Green Vine Snake is already level 30!
A level 15 player fighting a level 30 player.
Even with the added bonuses from bond equipment, the attribute values ​​of the Green Vine Serpent completely overwhelm those of the New Leaf Cat.

This is the kind of exaggerated challenge that you'd find in fantasy novels, right?
However, the difficulty is high, but the rewards are also very generous.

A fear level of 10.3 is almost equivalent to the combined efforts of two elves outside for a week.

If it weren't for the fact that fear points cannot be repeatedly absorbed from the same target, Xia Chi would have challenged Lin Lange to a duel and inflicted her second defeat in her professional career.

After counting the spoils from the first battle, Xia Chi exited the system with satisfaction.

------

Such a formal competition naturally deserves a grand awards ceremony.

After Tire Cat finished treating her, Xia Chi returned to the contestants' lounge and took Meng Yao on stage to receive the award.

Dream Demon asked in confusion, "Miyo?"

Eh?
Can I be considered a champion even though I didn't play a single game?
Xia Chi smiled and ruffled its marshmallow-like head, saying, "Of course, we're partners!"

My first championship, even though it was the Baby Cup.

But Xia Chi felt that taking a photo with Meng Yao would be more meaningful.

"Miyo~" Miyo happily squinted her eyes and spun around.

Xia Chi thought that if the system had that function, the little guy's head would be filled with "Affection +1 +1 +1" notifications right now.

On their way to the stage with the two elves, they unsurprisingly encountered the indifferent Lin Lange and the listless Green Vine Snake.

This time, the two did not exchange any more words, but a strange expression still inevitably appeared on their faces.

Receive the award and step down from the stage.

As they brushed past each other, Lin Lange whispered, "Thank you."

Xia Chi: "?"

What are you thanking me for? Are you thanking me for defeating you?

Watching the girl leave hastily with a blush on her cheeks, Xia Chi fell into deep thought.

No, am I some kind of masochist? Why do all the men I meet seem to have some kind of masochistic trait about them?
…………

"cheers!"

"Nya!"

"Miyo!"

"Pippi!"

In the living room of the dormitory apartment, Xia Chi and his roommate Chen Zhenze were having a celebration banquet for winning the Shanghai Bao Cup.

Although he said it was to throw himself a celebration banquet, Xia Chi felt that the guy was more likely just trying to freeload off the food cooked by Meng Yao.

Ever since the Dream Demon developed the "God of Cookery" sub-profession, Xia Chi and Xin Ye Miao's daily meals have become increasingly luxurious.

Chen Zhenze, who lived under the same roof, was always envious and would come over to freeload a meal whenever he had the chance.

"You're so cool, Achi! I knew you could do it!"

While stuffing meat into his mouth, Chen Zhenze began to mumble incoherently about the aftermath of the encounter.

Xia Chi rolled her eyes and chuckled, "Who was it that said the competition wasn't a game? I remember it perfectly clearly."

Chen Zhenze grinned and took the credit for himself: "You know what reverse psychology is, right?"

After the joke, he asked seriously, "By the way, has the tournament organizers given you the championship prize yet?"

Xia Chi bit off a piece of beef brisket that Tiremy had fed to her with vines and replied, "The 30 yuan bonus has arrived. I'll send the breeding supplies over there after I rent a place. As for the Pokémon, I can only choose them next week."

"what?"

Chen Zhenze asked in surprise, "Achi, you're moving out to rent a place? Why?"

Xia Chi shrugged: "I'm already running out of space here, and I'm going to catch a Pokémon next week."

"All right."

Chen Zhenze sighed, put down his chopsticks, and seemed unable to eat anymore.

He hesitated for a moment before saying, "Brother Chi."

Xia Chi looked at him with a puzzled expression. "Huh? What's wrong?"

"It feels like a thick, pathetic barrier has been erected between us."

Xia Chi gave Xia Chi a knowing look, like a Mudkip, and said speechlessly, "If you want to freeload in the future, just tell me on Piplup and come on."

Chen Zhenze's expression changed instantly, as if he had transformed into a hidden dragon. "Godfather, really?"

Xia Chi waved his hand, "Just bring some energy cubes for your Dream Fairy sister as a reward."

Chen Zhenze smiled obsequiously, "Of course, of course."

He turned to Meng Yao and said, "Sister Yao, please take care of me in the future!"

Xia Chi: "."

Would someone really call an elf "sister" just for delicious food?
With that kind of shamelessness, you should be able to succeed at anything in the future, right?
The dream demon, who had been focused on eating, tilted its head in confusion when someone called it: "Mimi?"

Why should I ask myself to take extra care of myself?
Is this a new member of the team?

So, their trainer also captured this human?

Xia Chi is amazing!
