Elf: Start with small diamonds, then mutate into Diancie!

"Moreover, the day when he truly shows his talent is fast approaching."

"Let's save our energy and work overtime later!"

The thin man curled his lip and said, "Okay~"

"Loto!"

Upon receiving the notification, the eldest brother turned to the computer and said, "Look, the post has arrived!"

After browsing for a moment, he couldn't help but chuckle: "Good lad, you've got guts, not bad!"

After finishing his sentence, he clicked the "Featured," "Pinned," and "Push" buttons in that order.

"Boss! This is getting interesting!" The skinny man was equally excited.

The two said in unison, "The wind is picking up!"

Chapter 211 Plan

On the Sichuan section of the Trainers Forum, a post was displayed at 8 PM and immediately became the most popular post. The "Hot" tag and the "Featured" status further fueled its popularity, and by the next morning, it had already surpassed 10,000 replies.

In reality, even non-trainers can register and post on the Trainer Forum. The various sections are similar to the "bars" in Baidu Tieba, where people from all walks of life gather.

Forums truly related to the trainer profession are only open to those who have obtained the "Professional Trainer Certificate".

Su Hao (V): "I'll take down all three of your Pokémon within three moves (＾ω＾) @Cangyun"

The main person's response, Hot, Featured, Pinned, Conflict.

This post has all the necessary elements, from Su Hao's response to the challenge to his "bold statement".

This has amplified the popularity of this previously niche event, making it even more noteworthy.

It can only be said that Su Hao truly lived up to his reputation as someone who traveled from the era of the internet's corrupting influence; he was really good at stirring up trouble.

Initially, only a small number of people replied to and paid attention to Cangyun's posts.

Even most of his replies came from fans he had accumulated since his debut and casual observers who had only taken a brief look at the gossip because of that summary post.

Most of the comments below have this style.

"Gouge out eyes."

"Wow (⊙o⊙), my brother is so kind-hearted, I knew I didn't make a mistake in supporting him!"

"Thank you for speaking up, brother. I've been wanting to say this ever since the first match ended. This contestant, Su Hao, really doesn't know how to be gentle with women."

"Putting aside the facts, Su Hao wasn't even willing to show mercy and back down!"

"But he's quite good-looking... It's not like I can't accept the cold and aloof handsome guy type~ (〃'▽'〃)"

"Just a passerby, selling sunflower seeds, peanuts, watermelon, cola, savory tofu pudding, sweet tofu pudding, fruit pizza, candy, chili powder, and cold strawberry salad, etc."

In short, probably because he has only been in the industry for a short time, Cangyun doesn't have many fans.

The incident began when, after advancing to the semifinals, his agent talked to him about that post.

That review post caused his popularity to surge significantly compared to usual.

He faced opponents who were not as strong as him in several battles, and he made it to the semifinals without any major setbacks.

Because of this competition, he went from being completely ignored to being virtually unknown, but neither he, his agent, nor his company were satisfied with that.

However, regardless of their thoughts, they had to consider the next issue.

The next three opponents in Group A are all formidable opponents.

When Cangyun was first assigned to Group A, he almost lost his temper and started cursing.

Of the ten strong contenders for the semifinals, five are in Group A, including him!

He, He Shiyun, Lin Xingyan, Wang Bingqian, and Su Hao—a total of five people—were in Group A, which was jokingly referred to online as the "poison-raising group" or the "death group."

Fortunately, Su Hao eliminated his biggest threat, He Shiyun.

His nut dumbbells and King Thorn Dragon were no match for that Roaring Ape.

The difference in strength, coupled with the opponent's inevitable Fighting-type moves, makes it difficult for Ferrothorn to perform effectively. The grassy slide under the grassy terrain can also pose a threat to his Rainy Day Kingdra.

Fortunately, this person was stopped in the first round by that somewhat strange Doronki.

Then there's Wang Bingqian.

Wang Bingqian's command in several battles was outstanding. Her strong command ability enabled three Pokémon that did not form a cohesive system to perform at 120% of their potential.

Unfortunately, her Pokémon can be easily defended by Ferrothorn, making her the least threatening Pokémon in Group A for Cangyun.

Lin Xingyan, in theory, his Rainy Day team should have a clear advantage over this player.

But whether it's Arcanine, which is proficient in both Fire and Electric-type moves, Blaziken, whose Speed ​​Boost ability makes its kicking skills superb, or Charizard, which allows teammates or itself to use Sunny Day to compete for weather control and has an extremely overpowered Special Attack output, it's all about these.

The difference in strength and the poor quality of the Pokémon itself made him find them particularly difficult to deal with.

As for Su Hao, the second-generation gym leader, he never intended to defeat either the Doraki or his rumored ace Incineroar.

In the semifinals, he and his agent both wanted to draw Wang Bingqian, his most compatible opponent.

Because the longer he stays on the field, the greater his exposure.

Unfortunately, fate was unkind, and they drew the worst possible lot.

He drew the worst opponent.

Su Hao, the supermodel player who only used one Pokémon to get to the semifinals.

The other players seemed to be on a completely different level from him; he couldn't even see his ace, the Blazing Roaring Tiger.

He had initially doubted that Su Hao's ace Pokémon could defeat ten elite-level Pokémon in one go, but now he had completely dispelled that idea.

You're bound to lose if you run into this guy.

Only the geniuses from the top three regions can probably punish and suppress him!

Even before the match started, he and his agent knew that his game was over.

Meanwhile, the agent made a proposal.

Before leaving the competition, let's capitalize on Su Hao's popularity as a "heartthrob" and create some hype!

Whether it was jealousy of Su Hao's background or being blinded by the allure of the world, it was hard to tell.

Cangyun agreed to the proposal after only a moment's hesitation.

His appearance can only be described as pleasing to the eye, barely qualifying as handsome, but there are simply too many people in the entertainment industry who are more handsome than him. Only his excellent talent at his current age and his warm and caring persona have earned him a small group of younger fans.

However, he was not satisfied with just that.

With the company's support, Cangyun's agent's "Riding the wave of popularity plan, even negative fame is still fame" officially began.

This plan anticipates two possible outcomes.

First, he won by surprise, climbing to the top by stepping on Su Hao's head.

Although it was unrealistic, he did fantasize about what would happen if Su Hao underperformed.

Secondly, even if he loses, his positive and warm-hearted image as a voice for women will remain, and he will also gain a lot of attention.

Traffic and popularity equal money. If he can make good use of this plan, it's not impossible for him to earn a million dollars!

But despite all their scheming, they never expected Su Hao to actually post a reply directly.

"Haha, Xiaoyun, it's like even the heavens are helping you!"

The manager, sporting a beer belly and dressed in a suit, had his arm around Cang Yun, his smile never fading since he saw Su Hao's post.

"This kid is so arrogant. If you can slap him in the face, we'll make a killing!"

Amidst the flying spittle, the agent, who had wasted decades in this industry, could already vaguely see the good days of being a young model in a club coming soon!

I no longer have to be subservient to my wife every day!

Cangyun's eyes lit up, thinking that since you delivered yourself to my door.

Then don't blame me for climbing over you to get to the top, Su Hao!

Small alligator, wakatoshi.

Chapter 212 Enjoying Everything

At 9:30 a.m. on June 3, in the breakfast hall of a hotel in Chengdu.

After two days of intense and exciting preliminary elimination rounds, the Sichuan Province competition, which now has only sixteen contestants remaining, has announced a one-day break.

While giving the players a rest period, it also allows time to repair the Taikoo Arena, which has been through dozens or even hundreds of battles and is now riddled with potholes.

At this moment, the five students from Yangcheng High School were sitting together, eating breakfast and discussing the post Su Hao had made the night before.

"Su Hao, you were too impulsive..."

Zhong Li looked at him with concern, her voice somewhat anxious. She felt that Su Hao was far too impetuous.

"The best approach to this is to handle it calmly. In the end, the winner takes all in the competition. I have no doubt that you can secure the victory, but three moves..."

At this point, Zhong Li's tone became somber.

She really didn't want these trivial matters to affect Su Hao, who had exceptional talent.

Every single one of these promising young talents is a pillar of the Shenzhou Alliance's future!

Jiang Chengcheng put down her soy milk and advised from the side, "Um, Teacher Zhong, Su Hao must have been quite confident in doing this..."

Jiang Chengcheng herself could not believe in Su Hao's ability to arrive on time.

However, she firmly believed in Su Hao's abilities from beginning to end.

After all, this guy's strength has already risen to a level that is not on the same dimension as theirs.

Not to mention the Blazing Roaring Tiger, she's never seen Su Hao bring that ridiculously powerful Little Diamond out to compete even once.
