Pokémon: Starting with Lucario and Gardevoir

These curators face challenges from trainers every day and have seen all sorts of Pokémon.

But this was the first time I'd ever seen Bangiras with such an exaggerated physique.

It was the first time I'd ever seen a Charizard with a glowing light.

Even Mikoli, who had met Haoyan once before at the Grand Contest, couldn't help but be surprised.

... ...

The ice surface is 100 meters wide and 2 meters thick.

This is indeed disadvantageous for Haoyan's Pokémon battles.

Since the terrain is unfavorable to us, we should just change the terrain.

Bangilas can be completely transformed with just a simple earthquake.

The five-ton Bangilas, just by standing there, could crush part of the ice.

Furthermore, the effect was even more pronounced when Bangiras used earthquakes.

Haoyan gave prior instructions before Bangiras used the earthquake.

Tell him to control his strength so he doesn't ruin the entire battlefield.

... ...

Returning to the battle, Tyranitar completely resolved the terrain issue with a single Earthquake attack, and the remaining ice shards were swept away by Tyranitar's tail flick.

Then, Haoyan officially launched his attack: "Xiaolong, use Flamethrower to attack Scizor."

"Spirit, use Dark Pulse, then Iron Tail, and attack Golduck."

The first to make a move was Charizard, which had the advantage in speed. It tucked its neck in and spewed the condensed crimson-gold flames from its mouth at Scizor.

Charizard is faster than Scizor and has the advantage of being in the air, leaving it with no room to dodge.

Without the benefit of ice, the Bug/Steel type Scizor's weakness to fire becomes particularly apparent.

Although Bangilas was a little slower, with its 12-meter height, it only took one step forward to reach Golduck.

The Dark-type energy fluctuations emanating from its body formed a black halo that rippled towards Golduck.

Then, without pausing, it swung its tail, and the huge rock spike tail lashed out at Golduck.

... ...

Scizor, which is four times weak to fire, is no match for Charizard's Flamethrower.

One shot and it's done.

Tyranitar's abilities are not effective against Golduck.

However, under Tyranitar's brutal attack, Golduck could not escape its fate of utter defeat.

... ...

Haoyan's opponent, Xiaofeng, was dumbfounded.

She wasn't given even a moment to react!

At first, the Pokémon that Haoyan summoned startled her!

The behemoth Bangiras shattered the icy terrain that was originally in her favor with just a simple earthquake.

At the same time, it also shattered her dream of winning the championship.

The subsequent attacks were both swift and fluid.

By the time she realized it, she had already lost.

Xiao Feng's eyes were lifeless.

Her exquisitely made-up face had lost its usual radiance.

With a wry smile, he picked up the Poké Ball and recalled the two Pokémon that had lost their stamina.

Facing such an opponent, she had absolutely no chance!

The referee, realizing what was happening, raised his flag and announced the result: "In the third round, contestant number 233, Haoyan, advances!"

... ...

"I believe Haoyan's Pokémon will bring a powerful shock to everyone!"

"So, please give Haoyan a big round of applause to congratulate him on advancing to the next round!"

Vivian, as the host, suppressed her initial surprise and skillfully hosted the competition.

The audience spontaneously applauded and congratulated Haoyan.

... ...

Chapter 204 Dazzling Like the Sun in the Sky

After defeating Xiaofeng, Haoyan successfully advanced to the top 14.

They also returned to the backstage area from the battlefield.

The competition for the position of museum director is held over two days.

On the first day, the 14 strongest people were selected.

The next day, the final champion was decided among these 14 people.

According to the rules, Haoyan's match today has ended.

Of course, theoretically the game is still going on today.

After all, there are other players competing.

However, from the moment Haoyan stepped down, the rest of the competition became less interesting.

Vivian, who was in charge of hosting, saw that there was nothing she needed to do, so she took a few reporters and cameramen and prepared to go backstage to interview Haoyan.

The group of curators sitting on the high platform included several who were acquainted with Haoyan.

He was yawning out of boredom.

Tie Xuan, Adam, and Mura nestled on the sofa, chatting about topics relevant to their age.

Du Juan sat next to Feng and Nan, chatting with them like an older sister.

Mikoli stood to the side, somewhat drowsy.

Yasha and Naqi, the two best friends, exchanged a glance, then nodded in tacit agreement, preparing to go backstage to chat with Haoyan.

With Haoyan's brilliant performance as a precedent, the other contestants seemed less important to the audience.

The entire venue began to get noisy.

Some local residents of Kayana began to talk about Hao Yan.

The males, many of them, were discussing Haoyan's two Pokémon from earlier.

"Twelve meters tall Tyranitar! He's practically the king of the land!"

"When he used the earthquake effect just now, I felt my seat shake noticeably!"

"That kind of force is truly terrifying!"

"And that gray-black fire-breathing dragon is so cool!"

"Grey-black skin and blood-red inner wings, absolutely stunning!"

"It's every man's ultimate dream!"

"If I had a Pokémon like that, I'd probably wake up from my dreams because it's so cool!"

... ...

The women at the scene were gossiping.

I want to know if Haoyan has a girlfriend.

In their eyes, Haoyan is sunny, handsome, mature, and strong, with unlimited potential, perfectly matching their image of a prince charming.

... ...

The backstage area of ​​the competition venue.

"Brother Haoyan, I knew you would win!"

When Safia saw Haoyan, she excitedly stepped forward to take credit, saying, "I was backstage cheering for you the whole time!"

Hao Yan smiled, revealing a row of white teeth: "No wonder I felt so energetic on the field just now."

"So it was Safia who cheered me on. Thank you."

Safia knew perfectly well that Haoyan was just trying to coax her; whether she cheered or not wouldn't affect Haoyan's victory.

However, little girls will always have a little girl's mindset.

Just then, the sound of high heels came from backstage. Vivian, accompanied by two cameramen, walked towards Haoyan.

"Mr. Haoyan, would it be convenient for me to interview you for a few minutes?"

Vivian handed the microphone to Haoyan, her face full of anticipation.

Before Haoyan could speak, a loud, carefree voice came from around the corner backstage: "Little brother Haoyan, I've brought my girlfriends to see you."

Only Yasha calls Haoyan her younger brother.

Behind them were Naqi and Dujuan.

Naqi and Dujuan weren't as close as Yasha and Haoyan, and they all greeted Haoyan with reserved smiles.

"Long time no see, Haoyan." Naqi waved casually.

"Haoyan, hello." Dujuan wasn't very familiar with the people present, so she seemed a little reserved.

She had just overheard Aysa and Naki saying they were going backstage to chat with Haoyan.

She abandoned Feng and Nan and joined them.

"Hello everyone." Haoyan had just finished greeting the group.
