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

Seeing this, Xia Mu smiled slightly and typed back:

[Don't worry, I'm here too, you'll be able to see me in a bit. ]

After sending it, he put away his phone without looking at what Xiaomao sent next.

Because as the host finished his opening speech, he and Du were about to go on stage.

"Xia Mu, good luck in the competition."

"Shauna!"

"Mew!"

"Ladi~"

At this time, Gardevoir, Zoroark and the others came over.

After straightening Xia Mu's clothes and making sure there were no wrinkles, they all gave her gentle blessings.

Even Sirona stood on the outside, waving and cheering him on.

It was Xia Mu who was going to compete, but she felt more nervous than if she were on the field herself.

Having received a lot of blessings, Xia Mu and Lucario naturally felt in a good state.

On the other hand, Du, who was preparing to go on stage, couldn't help but look dark after seeing this scene.

He suddenly felt that it would be better to ask Ke to bring it over.

At least losing is just a game.

Just as he was thinking this, Du suddenly felt a soft, fat hand touching his shoulder.

He turned around and saw that it was his Dragonite.

"Woo~ (Good luck in the game~)"

Following the example of the other side, Dragonite said comfortingly.

After he finished speaking, he looked like he was ready to leave.

Seeing this, Dujiang pulled Dragonite's neck and gritted his teeth and said:

"You have to try your best too, because you are the one who will be fighting!"

Because of Gardevoir, Dragonite has always had a certain shadow about the battle with Xia Mu's Pokémon.

.................................

...............................

At the same time in the audience.

Xiao Mao and Professor Oak, as well as Xiaozhi and Hanako, have already sat down.

There is a slight difference from yesterday's lineup.

Today, there was a girl with orange hair and a dark-skinned man with squinty eyes next to Xiaozhi.

One of the Cerulean Gym Leaders - Misty.

And the Nibi Gym Leader, Brock.

"What is he looking for?"

Xiaoxia held Togepi in her arms and glanced at Xiaomao who was looking around.

From the beginning, the other party was looking around.

"Should be...looking for Xia Mu?"

"Pica~"

Xiaozhi said uncertainly.

"Xia Mu?"

Xiaoxia was a little confused when she heard the name she had never heard of before.

"Yes, he is a new trainer who started traveling at the same time as us."

"I met him yesterday when I was shopping with Professor Oak."

Seeing that his two companions were curious, Xiaozhi gave a brief introduction.

At the same time, his guess was not wrong.

After searching for a long time without finding any trace of Xia Mu, Xiao Mao clenched his fists.

"He ran away! He must have run away!"

He sneered at Xia Mu's behavior of running away.

You're scared before the battle even starts. You're not a qualified trainer at all!

And said that it will arrive soon...

"Okay, audience!"

Just as Xiao Mao was silently condemning Xia Mu.

The host below seemed to have received some news and excitedly began to continue hosting.

"Next, it's the opening friendly match we've been looking forward to for a long time!"

"The two opponents are our Dragon King, Mr. Yulongdu, who is also known as the Dragon Messenger!"

As the words fell, Du was the first to walk out of the battle passage on the left.

Beside him, there was the fat Dragonite.

Instantly, there was a burst of enthusiastic roar from the audience.

Du's reputation is the highest among the Four Heavenly Kings.

This is thanks to its handsome appearance and the popular dragon-type Pokémon in the lineup.

It was expected that there would be such a scene when he appeared on stage.

Even...many people in the audience came to watch the game just for this friendly match.

After all, this level of competition, even if it is a friendly match, is generally not easy to see.

Similarly, Xiao Mao in the audience temporarily suppressed the idea of ​​looking for Xia Mu and instead watched the game seriously.

It has been made public for a long time that Watari will appear.

As for the other person, it should be as he guessed yesterday, it was Shirona who was with Xia Mu.

So this could very well be a championship-level fight.

Thinking of this, Xiao Mao couldn't help but feel a little excited.

Xia Mu would be a fool to miss a competition of this level just to avoid him.

At the same time, the host on the stand saw that the time was almost right and continued loudly:

"On the other side of this match is Mr. Du's friend, the specially invited player for this match."

"——Mr. Xia Mu!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Xia Mu appeared on the battle seat.

Unlike Du, he used teleportation to appear directly on the field.

After all, he is a rookie trainer, and his fame is definitely not as good as yours.

But the fact that he could replace the other three kings and appear in this friendly match has already proved his strength in disguise.

In addition, his appearance is equally pleasing, but even younger than Du's.

Naturally, the cheers from the audience were equally loud.

only...

During this time, Xiao Mao's expression gradually changed from excitement to dullness.

He suspected that he had not woken up.

Not only him, but even Professor Oak and Satoshi looked like they had seen a ghost.

In fact, when Professor Oak saw Gardevoir and Zoroark yesterday, he was already mentally prepared.

Those two Pokémon didn't look weak, and there was also the Gengar that we had seen before.

With such a lineup, Xia Mu should not be unable to collect all the badges.

So he guessed that Xia Mu must have participated in the competition, but just wanted to give him a surprise, so she didn't tell him.

But now it seems that there may not be surprises, but there will definitely be shocks.

A rookie trainer who had been traveling for a few months had already stood ahead of the regional champion.

Ordinary people wouldn't even dream of doing this.

Looking at Xiao Mao and Xiao Zhi, who were also newcomers who had been traveling for a few months, their brains had frozen and they sat stupidly in their seats.

"Xia Mu is such an amazing kid."

On the side, Hanako smiled and spoke gently.

She didn't know much about trainers, she just knew that Xia Mu must have achieved some extraordinary accomplishments.

"Yeah, win or lose, just being able to stand there is commendable."

After all, he was once a champion, so Professor Oak quickly calmed down and agreed.

Although he was equally surprised, he had also heard that something had happened to several kings recently.

Therefore, Xia Mu’s ability to stand there does not necessarily mean that he possesses the strength to surpass the King of Heaven.

He would rather believe that the other party has the strength to fight against the king.

Relatively speaking, this is more reasonable.

"I hope the kid isn't nervous."

After all, he graduated from his own research institute, so Dr. Oak naturally gave his blessings silently.

ps——Dr. Oak: I hope Xia Mu won’t be nervous

Du: ...

Quartz Conference and Washing Jade: Chapter 286 What kind of tactics is this?

At the same time on the playing field.

Contrary to what Professor Oak thought, Watari, as the champion, was the most nervous one at this moment.

Although I was nervous, I was not timid.

Looking at Xia Mu standing opposite him, Du's fighting spirit was gradually aroused.

It has been a long time since he looked forward to a Pokémon battle like this.

"The Pokémon I want to send out is this Dragonite next to me."

After taking a deep breath, Du said in a steady voice.

"Roar--"

As he finished speaking, Dragonite also let out a low roar.

With a gentle flap of its two small wings, it flew over Du's head and stood in the center of the battlefield.

From a distance, the tall figure appears extremely imposing.

Seeing Du sending out the Pokémon, Xia Mu did not delay any longer.

He took off the Poké Ball from his waist and threw it forward casually.

"Bam—"

A white light flashed, and Lucario appeared in the center of the venue with an upright posture.

Although its size is not as huge as Dragonite, the aura it exudes is in no way inferior to the former.
