Is there something wrong with playing Pokémon in Genshin Impact?

Just before its consciousness left its body, memories of its time with Xingqiu suddenly flooded back into its mind.

"Riolu, please use the waveguide to help me see what the next plot of this book is like."

"Riolu, keep an eye on these guys, don't let them get away. I'll go see if there's anyone inside who's holding a gun."

"Riolu, look, I bought some candied haws especially for you."

All the details of his past with Xingqiu flooded into Riolu's memory.

How could it fall here?

"Riolu, just wait and see. I will definitely be the strongest trainer in Liyue this time!"

That afternoon, Xingqiu's high-spirited voice suddenly rang in Riolu's ears.

"Huh...huh...huh..."

Outside, the Vulcan Moth was breathing heavily.

After all, Insect Chirp is the ultimate move of the Insect type, and it consumes a lot of energy. In the past, it could use it several times without even taking a breath. But now it is different. After using Insect Chirp only once, the Vulcan Moth almost couldn't hold on.

But this should be coming to an end soon.

Vulcan Moth looked at the fallen Riolu with a slight smile on his face.

It had carefully checked Xingqiu's information. Now, several of Xingqiu's main forces had all lost their combat capabilities, and the only ones left were a few big cats and small cats, which were not to be feared at all.

"Riolu has lost his ability to fight. Please, Xingqiu... wait, what's going on?!"

Before Bai Xiao could finish his words, his eyes suddenly widened in shock.

Suddenly, a hazy white light appeared on the fallen Riolu's body.

"This is... the light of evolution! Riolu actually evolved under such circumstances!"

Bai Xiao shouted in disbelief. After all, the original Riolu could almost be considered to have lost its combat capability, but who would have thought that it would evolve under such circumstances!

"Great job, Riolu!"

Looking at the light of evolution blooming on the field, Xingqiu said excitedly.

As soon as he finished speaking, a Pokémon that was much taller than Riolu appeared in the venue.

【Lucario】

[Attributes: Fighting, Steel]

[Features: Heart of Justice]

[A wave Pokémon, the evolution of Riolu, has the ability to detect waves emitted by everything and can understand human language. 】

The information about this Lucario appeared on the big screen.

"Very good, Lucario, use Wave Missiles!"

After evolving, Lucario has an additional steel-type ability compared to Riolu, and is restrained by the fire-type ability. In this case, it can no longer engage in close combat.

That way it will be sent faster than before.

Fortunately, Lucario's Attack and Special Attack are equally good.

As he finished speaking, Lucario clasped his hands at his waist, and a rotating azure ball of light gradually appeared in his palms.

This is the pose Lucario is seen in in the novel written by Xingqiu.

It seems to be called something like 0-style Qigong, and it thought it was very cool, so it copied it.

The next moment, a rotating azure ball of light flew towards the Vulcan Moth.

The hit rate of the wave missile skill is already high, and the Vulcan Moth now has no room to dodge, so it can only take the wave missile.

The wave missile exploded on the body of the Vulcan Moth, knocking it flying. After rolling on the ground for several rounds, it finally stopped. At this time, the body of the Vulcan Moth was covered with dust, and it no longer had the divinity that was like the descending of the sun god when it first appeared.

"Good, Lucario, use Wave Missile again!"

Xingqiu said to Lucario excitedly.

This is the difference between Lucario and Riolu. Riolu can only use the wave guide to communicate with all things, while Lucario can activate the wave guide and use it to perform attack moves for himself.

Another wave of missiles exploded heavily on the Vulcan Moth's body. This time, the Vulcan Moth rolled on the ground for several times and never stood up again.

Seeing that Vulcan Moth had lost its ability to fight, both Xingqiu and Lucario breathed a sigh of relief.

The sight of this guy going against his will and killing his two main players was truly terrifying.

"Vulcan Moth has lost its ability to fight. Please release the second Pokémon, Ms. Yanfei!"

Bai Xiao announced this after making sure that the Vulcan Moth had lost consciousness.

But after hearing this, Yan Fei smiled bitterly and raised her hand.

"I give up. I don't have any other Pokémon."

Hearing this, Xingqiu looked at Yan Fei in surprise. He didn't expect that Yan Fei only had two Pokémon.

"Ah...oh, since Miss Yan Fei has no other Pokémon, then the winner of this tournament is Master Xingqiu!"

Even Bai Xiao was stunned for a moment after hearing Yan Fei's reason, and then announced it loudly.

Suddenly, salutes and fireworks sounded at the same time, and cheers continued from the audience.

Standing on the stage, Xingqiu looked at the scene around him and felt a sense of unreality.

"Contestant Xingqiu, please come to the podium."

At this time, Bai Xiao had already walked up to Xingqiu and urged him.

"Oh...oh, right here."

Xingqiu then woke up as if from a dream, and followed Baixiao to the podium.

At this time, Li Pan was waiting on the podium early.

After seeing Xingqiu, he greeted him with a smile.

Chapter 233: The Conference Ends, Xingqiu and the Fossil Helmet

"Xingqiu, congratulations on winning the championship and becoming the strongest trainer in all of Liyue."

Hearing this, Xingqiu smiled bitterly.

"Boss Li, please stop flattering me. Those truly strong ones didn't participate in the competition, such as Hu Tao and Zhong Li from the Wangsheng Hall, Captain Beidou from the Southern Cross Fleet, and Lady Ningguang and Lady Keqing. If they had participated, I wouldn't have been able to sit in this position."

Xingqiu had a clear idea of ​​how much water he had in his body as the strongest trainer in Liyue, and he was not carried away by the victory.

"Haha, it's their loss that they didn't come. So, are you going to challenge me now?"

In addition to the title of Liyue's strongest trainer, the reward for the tournament champion is the opportunity to challenge Li Pan once.

But Xingqiu shook his head.

"No, my current strength is far behind yours, Boss Li. I will challenge you again when I feel I am strong enough. By the way, there won't be a time limit for this opportunity, right?"

"Of course not. You can challenge me anytime you want."

Li Pan smiled gently, picked up the golden cup and handed it to Xingqiu.

"Here, take this and release all your Pokémon. We'll take pictures later. As the first champion, the picture of you and your Pokémon will be hung in the most prominent place in the Hall of Fame."

Hearing Li Pan's words, Xingqiu's breathing quickened and he immediately released all his Pokémon.

Great Sword Demon, Lucario, Armored Warrior, Wind Ball, Single Sword Scabbard.

There are a total of five Pokémon. The Great Swordsman and Armored Warrior, which had lost their combat ability, have regained consciousness after resting in the Poké Ball for a while.

At this moment, they all understood the importance of the present moment, and all of them excitedly gathered around Xingqiu. Xingqiu smiled and made an OK gesture to Li Pan.

Seeing this, with a crisp sound, a photo of Xingqiu and all his Pokémon was taken.

……

"Hey, Boss Li, long time no see."

In the early morning, the door of the Pokémon House was pushed open, and Xingqiu walked in with a smile, carrying a scabbard of a sword on his back.

Three days have passed since the end of the Pokémon Conference. Ningguang gave the top eight contestants of the conference three days to prepare, and they will have to take up their posts at their respective gyms in three days.

And today is the last day.

"Hey, why are you still here? I thought you had already gone to the gym."

Li Pan looked at Xingqiu who pushed the door open in surprise.

The gym will be open for challenges tomorrow, and there will definitely be a lot of people there. He can almost foresee the grand occasion, but Xingqiu hasn't set off yet. If his gym isn't open when the time comes, that would be a lot of fun.

"It's okay, it's okay. My family runs a SF Express. Just pick a Pidgeot and send it to me."

Xingqiu waved his hand nonchalantly and looked at Li Pan.

"Boss Li, I'm here to buy Pokémon. I'm going to take advantage of my luck after winning the championship and draw a quasi-god!"

Xingqiu rubbed his hands and said excitedly.

"Okay, here's the illustrated guide for you."

How could he refuse the business that came right to his door? Li Pan directly handed the store manager's illustrated guide to Xingqiu.

Looking at the illustrated book in front of him, Xingqiu rubbed his hands together and excitedly pressed the extraction button.

"Look at my champion's luck protecting me, and help me hit the target with one shot!"

Suddenly, the picture on the illustration began to rotate, and the next moment, a pair of dead fish eyes shattered Xingqiu's expectant smile.

"Why is this happening? Am I not the champion? At least give me a Pokémon that is worthy of my title!"

Xingqiu said with a sad face.

"Magikarp, I think it's a good idea for you to buy one. You're not a newbie anymore anyway, so just think of it as a surprise for yourself. Besides, the difficulty of evolving Magikarp is about the same as that of Nerf. If you can evolve Nerf, Magikarp is no problem at all."

That’s right, what Xingqiu drew was none other than Magikarp.

Li Pan would not recommend Pokémon like Magikarp to newcomers, but that doesn't mean he wouldn't recommend Pokémon like Xingqiu.

Hearing what Li Pan said, Xingqiu frowned. After thinking for a while, he gritted his teeth and agreed.

"Okay, I'll take this Magikarp!"

As soon as he finished speaking, Li Pan was about to go to the backyard to get the Magikarp, but was stopped by Xingqiu.

"Wait a minute, Boss Li. I can't just come here and leave with a Magikarp. Wait a moment. I'll try a few more times."

After he finished speaking, Xingqiu pressed the draw button again.

But after seeing the pair of dead fish eyes that appeared on the screen, Xingqiu's face turned a little dark.

"Why is it Magikarp again? I'm the champion, the champion! What kind of champion would have to deal with Magikarp every day!"

Xingqiu pressed the draw button again in disbelief.

This time it wasn’t Magikarp, but Popo.

This almost made Xingqiu collapse. As one of the largest shareholders of SF Express, the last thing he needed was Bobo. If he wanted Bobo, he could just say it, and there was no telling how many children of Pidgeot leaders would be sent to him.

“Come again!”

At this moment, Xingqiu was like a gambler who had reached his dead end, and he pressed the draw button again.

This time it's the Spearow.

This is a rare Pokémon in Liyue. After all, all of Liyue's Spearow were sold to Inazuma by Beidou.

But it's no use!

The largest shareholder of SF Express, his Pokémon is Spearow! What kind of NTR plot is this?

"This is my last chance. I don't believe this is all I can draw!"

After saying this, Xingqiu pressed the draw button again.

The picture on the illustrated book began to rotate again.

The next moment, a brown beetle appeared on the screen.

"What kind of Pokémon is this?"

Because of his cowardly nature, Xingqiu was very interested in this beetle-like Pokémon. After just one look, Xingqiu couldn't take his eyes off it.
