Pokémon travel photography: Starting with riding the wave of popularity.

Monk's Head: "This must be the rosy glow of youth..."

Two single people bit their fingers and cast envious glances.

Xia Mu proudly raised his head in response.

"How about that, aren't you envious! I'm the kind of person who can often get close to girls!"

"Amazing!" x2

Looking at the three of them, Xiaoyao and Ziyu exchanged a glance, both feeling like they had met an idiot.

However, compared to these things, Ziyu and Xiaoyao were more concerned about why these two people suddenly appeared here.

"You were just... by Xia Mu yesterday..."

The unspoken meaning in the words is quite clear.

These two guys were completely demoralized by Xia Mu yesterday, so why are they suddenly finding Xia Mu today and being so friendly?

In response to this...

Qingpu was the first to speak.

"Actually, it's..."

Only after Qingpu's explanation did everyone understand.

It turns out that just as Aoura and the monk were feeling down because they lost to Natsuki, the head of the meat reform department, who had started showing affection to the club members as usual, noticed this.

After learning what had happened, the president became unusually serious.

"So what if he lost? With Xia Mu's strength, I wouldn't be surprised if he became the school's champion tomorrow. In fact, I would be surprised if Xia Mu didn't become the champion!"

"So, there's no need to feel ashamed of losing to Natsuki. After all, I still want to fight him and take a picture with him, sob sob!"

Thinking of the envious look that the burly club president had given them, Qingpu and Monk Head immediately understood.

In fact, they were all seasoned trainers before they came to Blueberry Academy. They only started to doubt themselves yesterday because they lost too easily.

After being comforted by the president, they calmed down.

"I'd like to ask you for your autograph, and by the way... I wish you great success in your military endeavors!"

"Me too!"

The behavior of the two from Qingpu made Xiaoyao and Ziyu unable to help but let go of their hands.

Xia Mu did not take the opportunity to escape.

After taking out his collection of autographed photos from his backpack, Xia Mu put his arm around the two of them and smiled at Xiao Yao and Zi Yu.

"Could you please take a picture for me?"

"Ok!"

Click, click!

Both of their phones contained images of Xia Mu's radiant smile.

……

Watched by Qingpu and the other two, Xia Mu walked towards the central battlefield in the entrance hall.

After passing through the gate, Xia Mu was met with a dense crowd of people.

After a day of reflection, almost everyone knew about Xia Mu's bold statement that he would become the Blueberry Champion within two days.

Furthermore, they determined Xia Mu's next contestant based on the rule that Xia Mu always ranked in the top ten of the Extreme Challenge.

Therefore, what appeared on the battlefield at this moment was not only the opponent who accepted Xia Mu's challenge, but also many onlookers with various purposes.

"It's him, the guy who's going to win the championship today..."

"Damn it, how dare he look down on us like that? Does he think we're all just small fry?!"

These are some guys who are annoyed with Natsuki because of rumors.

"He looks even more handsome than in the video!"

"New Leaf Cat is so cute!"

These are fans of Xia Mu's videos.

In addition to students, some well-informed teachers who were eager to see what was going on also came here.

"Haha, looks like he's a bit out of shape!"

This is the bald, sunglasses-wearing combat instructor.

"Hopefully this guy won't cause any more trouble..."

This is Bai Leiya helplessly rubbing her forehead.

Why do people have to work?!

This is the school doctor who was pulled out of the school clinic by Principal Xi Lan and had to set up a makeshift treatment room here.

In short, people are talking about it a lot.

Xia Mu's bold statement has become the most attention-grabbing event in Blueberry Academy.

From the principal to the cafeteria ladies, and even the noisy birds that took a short break at Blueberry Academy, everyone heard the same name during this time—Xia Mu!

Faced with such a scene, Xia Mu trembled slightly with excitement.

Finally, finally I can fit a big one in!

Watched by the two women, Xia Mu walked step by step toward the central battlefield.

Upon seeing this, people quickly made way for Xia Mu, clearing a path for him to proceed.

"The old champions will eventually pass away, and I will be crowned king!"

Xia Mu walked step by step to the edge of the battlefield.

Are you ready?!

Xia Mu's opponent is an ordinary-looking boy with short black hair.

When Xia Mu asked him a question, he simply spoke in a low voice.

"My name is Palu. I used to be ranked 456th and was a trainer with no real talent. However, under the guidance of Brother Togo, I quickly rose to become the 82nd ranked trainer in Blueberry Academy."

"So, whether it's to avenge Brother Togo or to protect the position I've worked so hard to get, I will definitely go all out in this match!"

Xia Mu shrugged.

"I have absolutely no interest in you. Anyway, Pawa, are you ready?"

"I am Palu!"

"Okay, Xiaobai, why did you embark on the path of a trainer?"

"Who is Xiaobai?!"

Palu, who originally wanted to lose gracefully, couldn't hold back any longer.

Amidst Palu's loud complaints, the bald, muscular man who is also a combat instructor walked into the middle of the battlefield.

"Now that both sides have arrived, ... today's referee will be Mr. Ali from my combat class! So, the Blueberry Academy Ranking Battle, let's begin!"

"Go, Wobbuffet, Agile Bug!"

Seeing this combination, Xia Mu suddenly understood why Palu was able to achieve a good result of 82nd place.

"As expected, the old man is the shield, and the agile bug with high attack speed is the spear. Coupled with a decent level, no wonder you can improve your ranking so quickly. However... it can't compare to my Dragon Tiger Fight!"

Xia Mu snapped his fingers lightly.

New Leaf Cat immediately jumped off Xia Mu's shoulder, and at the same time, the Poké Ball at her waist instantly shot out a red light.

"Meow!"

"despair!"

After the two little ones came out, the referee suddenly waved his hand.

"Game start!"

As the referee finished speaking, the Green Vine Snake and the New Leaf Cat skillfully launched their attacks using their leaf blades.

Beneath the dense, lush green leaves, Palu's eyes lit up.

"It's Magic Leaf! Wobbuffet used Mirror Image! Agility Bug is hiding behind!"

"Sonas!"

As expected, a faint fluorescent glow appeared on Weng Lan's body.

next moment.

boom!!

As expected, Weng and the agile insects behind him were blasted directly into the sea.

How could that be?

"Hmph, you thought it was a magic leaf? Actually, it's a combined attack of tree leaves and magic leaves!!"

Xia Mu was very pleased to have won his first battle.

"Damn it, you're so despicable!"

"Hmph, that's called tactics, next!"

Chapter 187 Getting Anxious

After Pal's defeat, Natsuki engaged in several more battles with trainers.

In short, Xia Mu was unstoppable, cutting through everything in his path and making it into the top ten without even blinking an eye.

"You there, you come out here!"

Natsuki beckoned to Togo, whose head was wrapped in bandages, in the audience.

Upon seeing this, Togo instantly erupted in anger.

"How dare you talk to me like that?!"
