Pokémon, but there is a hunter app

Hua Ling felt as if she heard a cracking sound, and when she looked at the small photo beside her, it seemed as if it was about to shatter.

"Um... just kidding, are you alright?"

She had barely uttered the question when Xiao Zhao grabbed one of her hands.

"don't want......"

"Ok?"

"I don't want to never see Hua Ling again in my entire life! Oh no!"

Don't leave me! This is my lifelong request!

Xiao Zhao rushed over and hugged her, shouting loudly in her ear.

The surroundings fell silent.

The battle below had just ended and it was time for a change of shifts. The people around stopped shouting and cheering and all turned their attention to this side.

"?!"

Hua Ling's face immediately turned bright red when she was stared at like that by the people around her.

"Let go! Don't do this!"

"no, do not want......"

However, Xiao Zhao, standing beside him, not only didn't let go but hugged him even tighter.

In her panic, Xiao Zhao shouted it out, but quickly regretted it, even though everything she had been through had made her more optimistic.

But now she realized that many people were watching and that she had said those things, so she only dared to bury her head on Hua Ling's shoulder and dared not say a word.

P.S.: I accidentally updated an extra chapter, but that's fine, please vote!

Volume 1: Chapter 127 Sidran

Unable to stay there any longer, Hua Ling carried Xiao Zhao over the chair and, blushing, climbed over it to the entrance.

Xiao Zhao covered her eyes with her hands, pretending not to see anything, and was carried away.

During the intermission, Hikaru and his mother Ayako came over after seeing Kozo arrive, and then heard what had just been said.

"Oh dear... it seems that Xiao Zhao and that child named Hua Ling are indeed very close."

Ayako smiled as she watched their disappearing figures and left with these words.

"That's true... but something just feels off?"

a moment later

"Ugh!! Don't say such troubling things in public!"

Hua Ling punched Xiao Zhao's stomach in dissatisfaction.

"Hehe~ cough cough, I'll be going now, I need to prepare for the upcoming competition. Please think carefully about my suggestion!"

Xiao Zhao rubbed her stomach where she had been punched, winked at Hua Ling, and then quickly ran away.

As the other person gradually disappeared from sight, Hua Ling raised her hand and scratched her cheek.

As I slowly applied pressure with my fingertips, a sharp pain shot through my skin, rather than the pleasant sensation of being peeled away.

"Are you kidding me...?"

Hua Ling shook her head and walked straight out of the entrance back to the audience seats.

She looked around and found another empty seat. Wearing a mask allowed her to relax and express herself, but it also brought other troubles.

In the morning, both Dakdo and Xiaozhao's matches ended very quickly, totaling less than an hour.

The remaining teams have also determined their winners and losers, thus setting the stage for the next eight semifinalists.

Ash, Darkrai, random player, Xiaozhao

The remaining three matches to determine the champion will be held in the afternoon.

The lineups for the afternoon's semifinals are as follows.

[Small Photo Contestant vs. Small Road Contestant]

[Ash vs. Darkrai]

The players who advance from these two matches will participate in the finals!

The winner will be the champion of this Lily of the Valley Tournament! Let's look forward to it!

"Oh oh oh!!"

"Darkrai! I want to see Darkrai!!"

"Pikachu is so cute, I want to have one too!!"

"Zoroak by Xiaozhao!!"

The other players around him were cheering; they were all looking forward to the afternoon's matches.

They want to see one side win and the other side stop there.

Meanwhile, in the preparation room

The four of them gathered here to watch the images on the big screen. Xiao Zhao crossed his arms and looked intently at the image belonging to Dakdo.

"Pikachu! Our opponent this afternoon is Darkrai!"

Go for it! You absolutely have to have a showdown with Hikaru's sister!

"Pikachu!!"

Ash cheered Pikachu on, and Pikachu nodded earnestly in return.

Time quickly moved on to the afternoon's semi-finals.

The first to appear was Xiao Zhao, facing off against Xiao Lu, a player who had almost no presence in the game.

Then came the battle between Ash and Darkrai, since only Ash was left in the preparation room at this point.

So she released all the Pokémon she planned to use to watch the battle.

Lucario, Sharpblade, Garchomp, Zoroark, Goodra, Togekiss

In addition to the Luxury Balls that replaced these six Pokémon, she also carried Origin Balls for Palkia and Dialga.

This ball was originally made by Hua Ling. After arriving in the future, it transformed into a modern Poké Ball, but it doesn't teleport when it's full.

She watched the battle alongside her Pokémon; Darkrai displayed overwhelming power from the moment it appeared.

Ash easily defeated Heracross and Gible, but was ultimately defeated by Sceptile. Ash's performance was outstanding, but...

"My second Pokémon is this! Go, Latios!"

As the Poké Ball was thrown into the sky, blue Pokémon, resembling jet engines, fell from above.

It weaved between the stands and the field before finally coming to a steady stop in front of Dacto.

"Wow—!!"

[Darklord's second Pokémon is Latios!]

"Darkrai, Latios... Could the third one be too?"

Xiao Zhao's brows furrowed slowly, and the battle involving the second Pokémon quickly came to an end.

The Lizard King was defeated by Latios; Swellow only managed to inflict damage once before falling.

With Pikachu's final Iron Tail strike, the figures of the two Pokémon were instantly engulfed by the explosion.

Pikachu flew out and rolled several times on the ground. Its small body was covered in wounds, but it gritted its teeth and stood up.

"Pikachu—!! Are you alright?"

"Pikachu!!"

Ash's worried voice came from behind. Pikachu clenched its claws and shouted back, then stood there panting heavily.

"This Pikachu...?!"

Darkrod's face was filled with shock. He had expected Latios to fail, but he never imagined it would be defeated by a Pikachu.

He then smiled and applauded the other party's strength.

"This is the second time I've praised you. You and Pikachu are far more powerful than the average Pokémon and trainer."

But the victor of this battle will ultimately be me, and my next Pokémon will be this one—

Go forth, Sidran!

The third Pokémon appeared on the field—a legendary Pokémon of the Steel and Fire types.

"Saturon?! Pikachu!"

"Pikachu!!"

Ash's expression worsened, especially as he looked at Pikachu's exhausted figure.

Then Pikachu's resolute back view interrupted what he was about to say, and as the best partner, it decided to continue the battle.

"...I understand! In that case, let's leave no regrets! Go, Pikachu!"

"Pika pika!"

Electricity crackled around Pikachu's body, and as Ash finished speaking, it unleashed its final Volt attack on its opponent.

Pikachu is unable to battle, and Darkrai has won this battle!

Darkrai recalled Heatran and turned to walk towards the entrance. Ash, who was at the edge of the arena, ran towards Pikachu, who had lost its ability to battle.

Holding it without saying a word, he rushed towards the entrance to treat Pikachu. As he passed the preparation room, Ash and Xiaozhao brushed past each other.

"Ash... Pikachu..."

Xiao Zhao watched the disappearing figures of the person and their Pokémon, then looked at the large screen in the room.

The final match was between Darko and her; looking at her calm and confident expression...

Xiao Zhao was quite certain that the opponent's remaining Pokémon were probably also at this level.

"But this is for the best, at least I won't feel embarrassed using your power anymore... Are you there?"

"Paaaaaah—!!"

“Aa ...

P.S.: Just asking for votes as usual, but this part of the story was indeed a bit boring, it didn't end until chapter 131...

Um......

Since that's the case, let's update more! I'll finish chapter 131 today and tomorrow...

I haven't had much motivation to write lately, and I'm leaving fewer and fewer drafts...

Volume 1: Chapter 128 Wanting to Be a Typing Machine

After the two finished fighting

Both Darkrai and Ash's Pokémon had sustained injuries, so the start time of the next match was slightly delayed.

The audience didn't have much of a problem, as they wanted to see even more exciting battles. If the semifinals were this exciting, what about the finals?

Everyone started discussing it.

Brock and Dawn went to the Pokémon Center to find Ash, and Ayako also left the audience to start looking for the child who was very close to her daughter.

She found it very quickly.

The blonde girl sat alone in the back row, looking at a special phone in her hand.

[Xiao Zhao: This time, the opponent actually used so many legendary Pokémon!]

The power of the Greatsword Demon and the others alone probably won't be enough. It seems we'll have to go all out this time. [Adjusts glasses]

[Hua Ling: Good luck! The opposing team has at least three legendary Pokémon, and they might even have a Pokémon of Dialga's caliber.]

[Xiao Zhao: Well... that's true, but why would a trainer like this participate in a competition designed for both new and veteran trainers?]
