Chapter 346 Superpower Master Tournament? A Tournament for Friend Viewers!

With Qingyu's "disappearance," the time quickly came to March 20th.

Friday, cloudy.

In two days, it will be the opening day of the Superpower Masters Tournament.

Meanwhile, Mankino City, located in the Johto region, has already entered a state of celebration as the venue for this event.

For the Pokémon world, major tournaments are as popular as international festivals, and even non-trainers can enjoy the lively atmosphere they bring.

Goldenrod City is the most developed comprehensive city in the Johto region. It is said that not only is its economic strength comparable to that of Goldenrod City in the Kanto region to the east, but it also has various technological facilities and has attracted a large number of young people with active minds.

Therefore, when Qingyu stepped off the plane, the first thing he saw was the crowded battle arena outside the airport, and the trainers with excited expressions on their faces.

However, their fighting style is clearly much wilder than the official rules.

For example... a trainer punched his opponent's Kabuto, causing a concussion that left it lying on the ground unable to get up and unable to fight.

Or perhaps it's a seemingly gentle and refined young lady who, upon entering battle mode, immediately crosses her arms and uses her body to withstand the incoming flames, leaving not even a burn mark on her arms.

Upon seeing this, Qingyu couldn't help but sigh:
"As expected of the Indigo League, known for its simple and honest people, even ordinary trainers mainly rely on wild battles..."

Qingyu, carrying her bag, quickly looked away and began to look around after entering the airport hall. She soon noticed an "old acquaintance".

The red-haired man in sunglasses, wearing a dark cloak and looking very mysterious, also noticed him at the same time, and then smiled and waved.

"It's been a long time, Teacher Yu."

Welcome to the capital.

"Too polite."

Qingyu replied with a smile as well.

"I never expected that Mr. Awa would also appear here."

"Kanto and Johto belong to the same alliance, and there hasn't been anything going on lately, so I'll be in charge of maintaining order during this tournament."

Adu laughed.

Qingyu nodded in agreement, understanding the situation perfectly.

He originally planned to meet Cynthia at the airport, but unfortunately it was Friday and she, as the Sinnoh champion, had her own things to take care of.

Therefore, they will arrive one day later than me.

As for A-du's appearance, although Qingyu didn't expect it, he wasn't too surprised either.

A-Du is a native of Johto and a renowned Dragon Messenger in Smoky City. His stay in Kanto is basically only for work purposes, so it's normal for him to show up at the airport to pick him up.

After all, Guandu City is not separated from the capital!

Unlike other regions, Kanto and Johto, although geographically distinct, are actually closely connected.

Their close proximity makes communication very convenient; one can easily travel between the two places simply by crossing the Viridian Forest.

Therefore, when the initial alliance system was established, the two regions were even directly merged into the same alliance, and the location was chosen on the Quartz Plateau, which was of great significance to both Kanto and Johto.

As a result, the Elite Four and Champion of Kanto and Johto are shared.

That is today's Quartz League.

In the Pokémon Gold and Silver series, because the timeline is a few years after the main story of the first generation, the original Kanto Elite Four have undergone significant changes.

Having become the champion, Crimson was unwilling to stay in the Indigo League, so he went to Mt. Silver to train intensively.

With the retirements of Grandma Kikuko and Miss Kona, Wataru, now free of obstacles, finally achieved his dream of becoming the regional champion. The vacant Elite Four spot was then taken over by Asakusa Gym Leader Akiku and two newcomers, Kazuki and Rinka.

However, given Qingyu's current timeline, it's estimated that we won't see the king taking over the baton in the next few years.

Therefore, at present, Avalokiteshvara is only in the form of the Heavenly King.

After exchanging a few pleasantries with Adu, Qingyu's gaze suddenly focused on his attire.

"Speaking of which, why did Mr. A-Du suddenly start wearing sunglasses?"

Moreover, even the cape has been changed; it's no longer the same old red and black cape!

Noticing the various details, Qingyu became curious and took the initiative to ask.

A-Du was stunned for a moment before realizing what was happening, and immediately gave a helpless smile.

"I just didn't want to cause trouble for the other staff, so I pretended a little."

"Although it may sound a bit boastful, I am quite popular in the Johto region. If I stay here for too long, I could easily cause traffic jams."

"I see."

Qingyu nodded, indicating her understanding.

If we were to find a comparable character, Wataru's popularity in the Johto region is no less than Karune's for Carlos, especially with his mature and aloof face; calling him a "ladies' man" wouldn't be an exaggeration...

Playing around is one thing, but the name "Dodo Bird" is just something some netizens call it!

Therefore, this explanation is quite reasonable.

However, Qingyu couldn't help but silently criticize Adu's somewhat self-deceiving attire:
As expected, the Pokémon world's main tactic for disguise is idealism!
As long as I believe I can fool others, even if I'm just wearing sunglasses, no one will recognize me...

"Let's go first, Teacher Yu."

Seeing that Qingyu understood, Adu quickly spoke again, explaining why he had come to pick her up at the airport:

"Let me take you to the hotel prepared for the players of this year's Masters Tournament. Many of the participants have already arrived. Perhaps you can get to know them first, Teacher Yu."

"It would be better to take this opportunity to handle the pre-competition procedures as well."

"it is good."

Qingyu nodded and followed in Adu's footsteps.

Adu would come to pick me up from the airport, not only for work reasons, but also to show me, a "newcomer" participating in the competition for the first time, the process, so that I wouldn't be at a loss when I arrived in Manjin City.
Although it wasn't explicitly stated, however...

Thank you, Mr. A-Du, you are so kind!
The more Aoba interacted with this man known as the "messenger of justice," the more he felt that he was definitely a good person, completely different from the character in the comics.

It's no wonder that they have such high popularity all over the world.

……

If you were to ask what the most famous landmark in Goldenville is, most locals would probably immediately say—

"It's the Pokémon Arena Dome!"

The magnificent building, simply known as the Pokémon Dome, is undoubtedly one of the largest arenas in Johto and even the world.

Compared to the venue in Tabletop City during the last Dragon-type Masters Tournament, this place looks significantly more modern.

"This Pokémon Dome will be the venue for the upcoming Psychic Masters Tournament."

As he passed by, A-Du subconsciously began to introduce the place, his tone becoming somewhat proud.

"The Pokémon Dome can accommodate up to 8 spectators at a time, making it the ideal venue for large-scale events!"

In fact, not to mention Lance, even new trainers in Goldenrod City who have just obtained their starter Pokémon will subconsciously puff out their chests when mentioning the Battle Building in their city.

"not bad!"

Qingyu then offered a sincere compliment.

"Near the Pokémon Dome, there is a nature park that is open for a limited time, where you can encounter some Pokémon that are quite common in Johto."

As they entered the hotel near the dome, A-Du seemed to suddenly remember something, subconsciously turning his head to look in the other direction, and quickly looking at Aoba with a somewhat inexplicable gaze.

"However, there are quite a few bug-catching boys in the neighborhood who like to challenge others. If you encounter them while taking a walk, please go easy on them."

"..."

As Qingyu remained silent, a twitch appeared at the corner of her mouth.

What do they take me for?!
Am I, Qingyu, the kind of evil character who likes to bully children and torment newcomers?
Of course not!

Upon entering the hotel, besides several contestants who seemed to be seriously preparing for the competition and exchanging experiences, there was also Ms. Officer Jenny sitting at the counter with a polite smile.

"Look, it's Teacher Yu!"

It's unclear which clever little devil recognized Qingyu at a glance, but in an instant, almost all the guests in the hall turned their heads and focused their attention on the figure that appeared at the door.

As expected, Qingyu, who appeared with Adu, became the most dazzling "star" of the entire event.

"Teacher Yu, I'm your fan!"

"Teacher Yu, you're a god forever!"

"If we meet in the group stage, please go easy on me, Teacher Yu!"

"No! I don't want to be Yu-sensei's rival!"

The excited contestants were quite polite; they didn't immediately surround Qingyu, but instead sent out round after round of "friendship declarations" to her from afar.

"You've passed! Keep up the good work, everyone!"

Qingyu, on the other hand, remained calm and greeted them with a smile, just as she would during her usual live streams.

But in his heart, he was actually sweating profusely. Wow, were all his viewers this skilled? They'd even made it to the Masters tournament?
While the Type Master Tournament doesn't have a strict rule that only top-tier trainers like Gym Leaders and Elite Four members can participate, it's not an easy feat for other elite trainers to get involved.

At the very least, the required skill level is still quite high.

It seems there are truly hidden talents in my live stream...

As for A-Du beside him, he also glanced at the somewhat puzzled Qing-Yu with a smile.

It seems that Qingyu is not quite aware that his popularity and influence in other regions are not much less than those in Padia.

In Kanto and Johto alone, Wataru knew of countless guild leaders whose ideas had been influenced by his thinking.

However... judging from the performance of these participants, will this Superpower Masters Tournament really become a friendly match between viewers in Qingyu's live stream?

After completing the registration and information sharing with Ms. Officer Jenny, Qingyu's pre-competition preparations were essentially complete.

"Alright, you must be very tired after coming all the way from Padiya. I won't disturb you any longer, Teacher Yu."

A-Du, who was helping Qingyu fill out the form behind him, breathed a sigh of relief and quickly said goodbye to Qingyu.

After parting ways with A-Du, Qingyu entered the hotel elevator and found her temporary residence on the top floor according to the number plate.

Since the rooms are prepared for the players, the League has obviously taken great care in adapting to their needs. They are not only very spacious, enough to accommodate more than ten small and medium-sized Pokémon, but also have special facilities for the Pokémon to rest.

The first thing Qingyu did after entering the room was to put down the shoulder bag she had been carrying.

"Mwah~"

Upon discovering that it had touched the soft ground, the Dreamy creature, which had been hiding in the backpack, quickly poked its head out and gave Qingyu its signature smirking expression.

"You're quite well-behaved this time."

Qingyu couldn't help but give it a thumbs up for its perfect performance, which hadn't revealed any flaws along the way.

Of course, Qingyu himself certainly didn't have a way to make Meng Huan behave, or rather, Meng Huan, this capricious fellow, did whatever he wanted.

The reason it has been able to endure for so long is naturally because of the new entertainment that will be available in the coming period.

"Mwah~"

Dreamy popped out of the shoulder bag with ease, looking around at the brand-new environment with great curiosity.

After tacitly approving its behavior, Qingyu quickly sat on the soft bed, while taking out a few Poké Balls from her pocket.

As flashes of red light appeared, his Pokémon partners quickly materialized.

"Buyi!"

Like Mew, Sylveon is also full of curiosity about new and unfamiliar environments, and even its eyes shine with a light full of exploration.

"Luka..."

Compared to Mew and Sylveon, Lucario exhibits a different extreme.

Stepping onto unfamiliar ground, the soft, woolen floor gave Lucario an unusual sensation, instantly putting him on alert. He closed his eyes and used his aura to begin surveying the surrounding environment.

Soon, Lucario, the "scout," had a general understanding of the Pokémon in the entire hotel and other nearby facilities.

As a result, Lucario's expression quickly became more serious, and his brows even furrowed slightly.

The sheer number of Pokémon is astounding, far greater than anticipated before its arrival.

Moreover... most of them seem to be Psychic-type Pokémon.

Even if I successfully evolve before completing my training with the two bear masters, I might not have a good way to deal with them.

But now...

"Luca!"

Lucario suddenly opened his eyes, his expression becoming extremely serious.

It's decided. I'll spend this time practicing the special skills I learned at the Isle of Armor Dojo!

Lucario instinctively clenched his right hand into a fist, and at the same time, a special energy that seemed somewhat evil and emitted a thick black aura appeared.

"Hmm...?!"

The perceptive Servant was initially taken aback, but was immediately startled by the energy and instinctively shrank behind Mewtwo.

"..."

Qingyu's expression was slightly complicated regarding the performance of his Pokémon.

After all, she underwent "Master of Dreams" training and received the same treatment as Lucario, so why does this meddlesome little sister always seem a bit unreliable?
Indeed, with the help of the "miracle doctor" Mew, the plan to awaken the superpowers of Aisin's sister has made a qualitative leap.

Although it may have been a little different from what Qingyu initially thought, at least the result was good.

Now, Ai-kan-sama is capable of handling things on her own, though her methods might be a little unexpected.

Qingyu was actually somewhat looking forward to seeing what kind of expressions her future rivals would show when they encountered it.

"Boni?"

Faced with the unfamiliar environment, E Guipeng also seemed somewhat lost.

Especially since their location was on the top floor of the hotel, the feeling of being so far from the ground made Ergui Peng feel a little uncomfortable.

Looks like I won't be able to farm for a while...

Although he had temporarily entrusted the fields near the gym to Kingdra before leaving, he still felt that his work was not yet finished.

However, the purpose of this trip is to participate in the competition with Qingyu, so I can't let my trainer down!
Thinking of this, Egui Peng subconsciously gripped the thorny vine club hidden under his coat.

"Gah..."

Milton, the only one who looked completely detached from the dragons, yawned lazily, then lay down on the carpet and soon let out a low growl of enjoyment.

"..."

Qingyu shook his head helplessly, deciding to ignore the lazy dragon that was just eating and waiting to die, and turned his gaze to the other Pokémon that were getting used to their environment.

"Next, let's work together to try and get a good ranking!"

As Qingyu smiled and spoke, she extended her right hand, holding it suspended in the air with the back of her hand facing upwards.

"I will do my best to bring you victory."

Mewtwo was the first to understand, and when it looked at Qingyu, its expression was extremely serious. After speaking, it imitated Qingyu and stretched out its right hand, placing it on the back of his hand.

"Luka..."

Lucario let out another low growl, and after suppressing the Dark attribute energy that was unconsciously emanating from its hands, it repeated the same action.

Although I don't know if I'm strong enough to shoulder this responsibility and defeat so many powerful enemies, but...

I will do everything in my power to help a trainer achieve their goal!
"Boni?"

Unlike the serious expressions of the other two Pokémon, Urquid quickly flashed a sweet smile and continued to place its hand on top of the other Pokémon.

"Um..."

Ai Guan Shi's younger sister still looked somewhat uneasy, but after taking a deep breath, she mustered her spirits and energetically placed her hand on the E Gui Peng.

"Buyi!"

By the time Sylveon, who was exploring the room with Mew, realized what was happening, it seemed that it was the only one of Blue Feather's main forces that hadn't yet taken action.

It immediately trotted over and, mimicking the example, stretched out two ribbons as substitutes for its hands.

"Mwah~"

In theory, Mew is not one of the Pokémon that will be participating in this competition.

However, Qingyu also gestured with her eyes for it to join in when it reached out its little hand.

"Well then, let's all work together from now on!"

As Qingyu finished speaking, he and his Pokémon simultaneously raised their right hands.

Then, he swung it down suddenly.

"..."

The ankylosaurus, which had been ignored by all its family members from the beginning, subconsciously pouted, but its expression was something no creature could possibly guess.

Similarly, unable to make a sound, it could only curl up in a ball and sulk.

Just as it was about to burst into tears from feeling so wronged, a hand suddenly landed on its head and gently stroked it a few times.

"And the same goes for the Armored Dragon. Once you've evolved, please guide me a lot!"

Qingyu's gentle voice came, instantly dispelling the slight grievance in the armored dragon's heart.

It originally wanted to make a coquettish sound, but after remembering that it couldn't speak for the time being, it had to give up.

However, a small wish was quietly planted in the heart of the armored dragon at this moment—

I must complete my evolution as soon as possible and contribute my strength to the trainers like my other companions!

If we can evolve, everything will be alright!
