I've seen many people raising wives, but this is the first time I've seen someone raising

"Xia Mu, you're not really going to let her go on stage, are you?"

Zhu Bei pointed behind Xia Mu, and her meaning was very clear.

"That depends on Lucario's strength."

"If he falls, then Zoroark will naturally have to take the field."

"After all, there is no limit on the number of Pokémon that can be on the field in this competition, right?"

Xia Mu replied with a smile.

That’s right, since this is the first Pokémon battle, there is no limit on the number of players.

Theoretically, you can capture a large number of Pokémon and use a rotation battle to consume them all.

But in reality no one would do that.

Because compared to getting the championship reward, the cost of raising so many Pokémon is obviously a much larger amount.

And even if you win, it won't look good.

Hearing what Xia Mu said, Zhu Bei gritted her teeth lightly.

The other party was obviously using the rules as a shield, but she couldn't say anything.

This helpless feeling made her sigh.

"I suggest you give it more thought..."

[After separating from Pearl, you took Zoroark and Lucario to admire the scenery of the wilderness for a while. ]

【Then as night fell, you returned to your assigned tent.】

"This is your opponent tomorrow, please have a good rest."

A member of the Pearl Tribe said as he handed the paper to Xia Mu.

Xia Mu thanked him and took it gently.

In addition to the notes, the paper also contained the name of his opponent tomorrow.

When Xia Mu moved his gaze to the name, he was slightly stunned.

"I think?"

After confirming that he was not mistaken, Xia Mu was a little surprised.

When he dragged the other party to watch the game today, Wusi still looked reluctant.

I didn't expect that you would sign up for the competition now?

Thinking of Wusi's Pokémon called Attachment Cloud, Xia Mu slightly curled the corners of his lips.

As a legendary Pokémon, Cloud of Attachment is quite powerful.

What's more, his tornado was also given to Wusi.

With a lineup like this, it should be difficult for Lucario to win, right?

Thinking of this, he looked at Zoroark who was also sizing up the battle list.

Sure enough, the other fox's face was also pale at this time.

"You...you are cheating!"

"How could you let her compete?"

Zoroark protested with a trembling voice.

She didn't hear that Wusi was going to play too.

"This is Wusi's own decision. It has nothing to do with me."

Xia Mu shrugged and denied it.

"Accept your fate, little fox."

He snorted and chuckled twice, then said to Zoroark.

I think I really helped him a lot this time.

As long as the opponent doesn't let down, Lucario's defeat is almost a foregone conclusion.

aside.

Looking at Xia Mu and Zoroark discussing their defeat, Lucario felt his fists harden.

He snorted coldly and reached for the bag he brought with him.

Regichkas didn't let him work for nothing.

Although it didn't improve his potential, it gave him a good thing.

Thinking of this, Lucario took out two round stones.

ps——Lucario: As a trainer, you haven’t worked as hard as me, a Pokémon. You want to lose? No way!

Chapter 170 The battle begins!

"Xia Mu, put this on."

After tying the key stone with a braided rope, Lucario walked over and said to Xia Mu.

The conversation with Zoroark was interrupted. Xia Mu was stunned at first, then he coughed lightly with some embarrassment.

He was so busy arguing with Zoroark that he forgot that Lucario was there.

Talking about defeat in front of the other party... doesn't seem very nice.

"Sorry Lucario, that's not what I meant."

He said in a low voice with some apology.

"fine."

Lucario shook his head expressionlessly.

He then shook the key stone in his hand and said:

"Put this on."

He didn't really blame Xia Mu for speaking ill of him.

After all, judging from his performance in the pure white frozen soil, it is a fact that he could not defeat Longing Cloud and Tornado Cloud.

His own mentality is not that fragile.

In comparison.

He wanted to see what kind of expression Xia Mu would have after he scored two goals in a row.

On the other side, Xia Mu took the "necklace" from Lucario with confusion.

The necklace has a strange shape, it is round and feels like some kind of hard stone.

But the whole thing is transparent, with a very colorful pattern in the middle.

"what is this?"

Xia Mu asked with some curiosity.

His intuition told him that the stone in his hand was of great use.

"secret."

Seeing Xia Mu take it, Lucario took out his own one and put it around his neck.

In this way, as long as he wants, he can complete mega evolution at any time in tomorrow's battle, and his strength will experience explosive growth.

He is also more confident of winning the battle against Tornado Cloud and Attachment Cloud.

Noticing Lucario's actions, Xia Mu became more confused.

However, since the other party didn't say anything, he had no choice but to wear the key stone around his neck as requested.

Lucario wouldn't harm him anyway, and since the other party wanted to keep it a secret, he would just cooperate for the time being.

On the side, Zoroark quietly read the entire conversation between Xia Mu and Lucario.

She narrowed her eyes and twitched her ears vigilantly.

What does this big dog want to do?

He must have some ulterior motive in finding such a beautiful stone to please Xia Mu.

Thinking of this, she bared her teeth fiercely at Lucario.

I decided in my heart that I would make a necklace for Xia Mu when I got back.

[Due to Lucario's intervention, your argument with Zoroark naturally ended halfway. ]

[Before going to bed, you went to see Wusi.]

[What surprised you was that the other party somehow managed to build a small house out of wood in just half a day.]

"If you feel cold, you can come and sleep with me."

Wu Si stretched his body lazily, then patted the soft couch and made a tempting invitation.

Hearing this, Xia Mu remained unmoved.

Although the tent was not as warm as the cabin, he could sleep while hugging the warm fox.

Zoroark's body temperature was enough for him to sleep comfortably for a whole night.

And...if he really listened to Wusi and moved in to sleep, he would have a hard time falling asleep the whole night.

The other person's terrible sleeping posture left a fresh memory in his mind.

Seeing Xia Mu's refusal, Wu Si curled his lips in regret.

After restraining her expression, she pulled the quilt over her legs and asked:

"If you don't want to sleep, then why do you come to see me so late?"

"Ask about the battle?"

She also looked at the list and had some vague guesses in her mind.

After saying this, without waiting for Xia Mu to reply, she curled the corners of her lips again and said:

"If you want me to let you go, be sincere and I will consider it~"

Wu Si's voice sounded very happy.

She signed up for this competition just to have fun.

If Xia Mu could just beg her for this once, it would be worth it even if she lost at the start.

But to my surprise, Xia Mu shook his head after hearing this.

Isn’t the other party here to beg for mercy?

I was a little surprised.

Before she could ask, she saw Xia Mu suddenly straighten up and said seriously:

"You must show no mercy tomorrow."

"Both Tornado and Cloud of Attachment must be on the field. This is my only wish."

Xia Mu's attitude was very sincere and it didn't sound like he was joking at all.

Wu Si opened her beautiful eyes slightly and looked at Xia Mu with surprise.

Isn't this a little different from what she thought?

Unfortunately...

Xia Mu didn't explain much. After giving her a few homemade Pokémon medicines, he turned and left.
