Chapter 218 "Handsome Researcher: Yo! Future Champions!"
In the end, Crimson managed to stop Giovanni from leaving without any serious incident, and obtained the eighth green badge from him through a battle.
Compared to White Boat sending out Mewtwo for a "stomping" speedrun, Crimson chose a completely different style.
He didn't use the legendary Pokémon Moltres, but instead insisted on using the main team he had trained all along.
I engaged in a thrilling tactical battle with Giovanni, enjoying the pure thrill of combat.
Bai Zhou's comment on this was: "Whatever makes you happy. (Subtext: Why not take the shortcut and insist on experiencing life, huh?)"
The two control their respective characters—Little White and Little Red.
After a brief rest at the Pokémon Center in Viridian City, they finally embarked on their final journey to the Pokémon League.
As they drove along Highway 22, unsurprisingly, they saw that familiar figure under the streetlights at the intersection.
The formidable rival, Little Green, stood there with his arms crossed, looking impatient, his toes barely touching the ground.
His eyes kept glancing in the direction the road had come from, clearly waiting for someone.
But when his gaze caught sight of Xiaobai and Xiaochi gradually becoming clearer at the end of the road, he immediately felt as if a toggle button had been pressed.
He quickly suppressed the urgency on his face, replacing it with a nonchalant expression as if to say, "I just happened to be resting here," and even whistled casually.
His gaze was deliberately directed toward the sky.
"Ah! It's Little Green—"
When Chi Hong saw Xiao Lü, he was about to control Xiao Chi to go up and greet her when Bai Zhou interrupted him in a calm tone.
"He's busy, let's not bother him."
Bai Zhou kept moving Xiao Bai, as if the spiky-haired boy under the streetlight was invisible.
They passed the intersection where Xiao Lü was and continued towards the road to the champion.
"Let's go to the Pokémon League first, he'll catch up soon."
"But----"
Red instinctively felt that this was not a good thing, but seeing that Little White had already walked away.
He could only sigh, and, controlling Little Red, ignored the spiky-haired boy standing under the streetlight whose expression was gradually stiffening, and hurriedly followed after him.
Little Green: Hey! You two!
Just as Little White and Little Red were about to disappear completely into the bushes along Highway 22, Little Green finally shouted from behind, his voice filled with unbearable frustration and embarrassment.
"Little Green: Stop right there!!!"
Bai Zhou and Chi Hong then turned their characters around.
Little Green was so angry that her face turned red, her chest heaved violently, and her wide eyes seemed to be spitting fire.
The facade of "calm and collected" that she had just maintained has completely crumbled.
The live stream chat was instantly flooded with "hahaha" and various jokes.
"They're panicking! They're panicking! Someone's panicking, but I won't say who!"
"Little Green—he actually waited for us on Highway 22! Just to give us our green badges! Oh no, I think I've been won over!"
"Daily persecution of Little Green (1/1) mission complete!"
"Persecuting Little Green, persecuting Blue Green"
"Persecution of the blue-green color, persecution of the red color"
"On the Self-Cultivation of Arrogance"
"Green: Reputation Damaged.JPG"
"Teacher Salty Fish! Quick! Ask Crimson Legend, ask him if he has anything he wants to say to Little Green?!"
'
Bai Zhou glanced at the rapidly scrolling comments and was amused by these people who seemed to enjoy the drama. He decisively said to Chi Hong, "The viewers in the live stream asked me to ask you, don't you have anything to say about Xiao Lü waiting for us here?"
"?"
Crimson was taken aback at first, then realized what the comments were teasing him about. He instantly felt embarrassed and retorted with a hint of embarrassment and anger.
"What the hell are you talking about?!"
After saying this, as if to cover up his embarrassment, he manipulated Little Red to turn around and continue walking forward.
However, Xiao Chi had only taken two steps when he had to stop again.
Because the furious Little Green had already rushed forward, spread its arms, and blocked the way!
"Little Green: You two bastards! Do you even want your eighth gym badge?! Without the green badge, you don't even qualify to challenge the League!"
Little Green practically yelled it out, trying to use the badge as his last "bargaining chip".
"that----"
Looking at the spiky head on the screen, which was almost bursting with red heat, Crimson suddenly thought of Green's frantic state in real life.
His tone involuntarily carried a hint of apology and embarrassment.
"Actually—we've already collected all eight badges."
He paused, noticing Green's momentarily stunned expression, and added, "When we went to the Viridian Gym, the Gym Leader had just returned. We successfully challenged him and got the Green Badge—"
Little Green: You, you all—!
Xiao Lü seemed to have been struck by lightning, his whole body turned to stone. He pointed at the two of them, his fingers trembling, and finally squeezed out a sentence through gritted teeth.
"Little Green: You'll regret this!"
After saying that, as if he could no longer bear the embarrassment and defeat, he suddenly turned around and ran away without looking back, his back view filled with grief and indignation.
Chi Hong looked in the direction where Xiao Lü had disappeared, her expression becoming even more awkward, and she even felt a little sorry for him.
Bai Zhou revealed a knowing smile, as if he had just figured out the plan.
I wonder if Qinglu is watching the live stream. If he is, his expression after seeing this scene must be priceless.
"Don't just stand there."
Bai Zhou manipulated Xiao Bai to elbow Xiao Chi on the shoulder, drawing Chi Hong's attention back.
"The Road to Victory is just ahead. There are a lot of elite trainers waiting to challenge you. Stay alert."
One sentence instantly ignited a burning fighting spirit.
He put the little incident behind him and his eyes sharpened again.
Controlling Little Red, he took the lead and took on the role of the vanguard, becoming a perfect "henchman".
Begin clearing out those eager trainers on the road to championship.
The number of NPC trainers on the Path of Champions is large, and their strength is not weak.
However, it does not pose a significant threat to players who have already collected all eight badges and formed a complete team.
With the personal escort of Crimson, a "battle legend," Shiroshu felt no pressure whatsoever, practically strolling around.
They easily traversed the intricate Champion Road caves, filled with trainers.
As the two finally emerged from the cave and set foot on the quartz plateau, a slightly rousing background music began to play.
After climbing the last set of stairs, the magnificent Pokémon League building, symbolizing the highest honor in the Pokémon world, was fully revealed before them.
Solemn and dignified, carrying an inviolable sense of authority.
Entering the Pokémon League lobby, you'll find a spacious interior.
On the right is a fully-equipped Pokémon Center, convenient for challengers to receive final treatment and recovery.
On the left is a busy service hall, where staff and trainers are rushing around.
Just as Bai Zhou and Chi Hong stepped into the Alliance gates with their characters, a familiar figure greeted them with a hearty smile.
"Handsome Researcher: Hey! Future champions!"
He walked familiarly between Xiaobai and Xiaochi, and very naturally stretched out his arms, hooking one of their shoulders to close the distance, as if they were old friends reunited.
"Handsome Researcher: I really didn't expect you guys to get to this point so quickly! It's so exciting! As an insider, let me give you a sneak peek."
"Handsome Researcher: To become champions, you must withstand the continuous onslaught of the Four Heavenly Kings!"
He smiled and released the two of them, patted them hard on the shoulder, and gave them a look full of trust and encouragement.
"Handsome Researcher: Listen up, there's no turning back!"
"Handsome Researcher: If you are defeated by any of the Heavenly Kings, it means the challenge has failed, and you have to start all over again! That's just how cruel the reality is!"
"Handsome researcher: But I believe in you guys! Keep it up!"
After saying that, he turned around gracefully and walked towards the front desk.
After taking only a few steps, he seemed to suddenly remember something and turned back to call out.
"Handsome Researcher: Oh, right! Just a heads up, there's a Pokémon Shop over there, don't forget to stock up on your items! Alright, that's all, good luck! Bye~"
As soon as the handsome researcher left, Bai Zhou immediately controlled Xiao Bai to turn around and rush into the Pokémon shop next door without hesitation.
"Shopping spree" mode has begun, with all sorts of high-level healing potions, full recovery potions, status restoration agents, and PP boosters —
Buy everything you can.
Although Chi Hong didn't quite understand this behavior, based on the principle that "Brother Bai Zhou must have his reasons for doing this," she also went in and purchased a batch.
Once everything was ready and supplies were plentiful.
Bai Zhou took a deep breath, a triumphant smile on his face, and declared loudly, "Let's go! It's time to climb to the top!"
Xiao Bai and Xiao Chi stood side by side in front of the magnificent gate leading to the final challenge.
Inside the gate lies the battle that will determine fate.
A staff member stepped forward to give a final explanation of the rules.
Staff: Challenger, listen carefully to the final rules!
"Staff: From now on, you will be continuously battling the four Heavenly Kings!"
"Staff: Only by defeating one Heavenly King will the door to the next one open!"
Staff: Good luck!
Since the championship challenges are conducted independently, Shirafuji and Akane each need to complete their own challenges.
After the rules were read out, the two simultaneously controlled their characters and stepped into the door that symbolized the ultimate test without hesitation!
At this exciting and historic moment, the live stream chat exploded with excitement.
"Here it comes! The final battle! I'm a player who has completed the game on my first playthrough! The order of challenging the Elite Four is: Lorelei (Ice-type Elite Four), Siberian (Fighting-type Elite Four), Agatha Christie (Ghost-type Elite Four), and finally Lance (Flying-type Elite Four)! As for the champion—hehe."
"Fact Check: At this point, Yu Longdu was not yet the champion. The current champion is ———— (just kidding)"
"Lorelei's mom! Hahaha! I can finally see Lorelei's mom!"
"Come on! Come on! The champion with the shortest reign in history is coming on!"
"??? What does that mean? What do you mean by the shortest-reigning champion in history? Get out of the live stream, you riddle teller!"
"Wait! Where's Xiao Lü? Where's my Xiao Lü? Wasn't Xiao Lü supposed to come? I've looked around and can't find him anywhere!"
at the same time.
The main control room at the Rainbow Rocket Team base in Tokiwa City.
As Qinglu watched the live stream, her face turned as black as the bottom of a pot.
He realized that the worst decision he had ever made was licensing his personal image to Bai Zhou for the development of the Pokémon game.
If he could, he would love to travel back in time.
Give that young version of yourself, who was fooled by Bai Zhou's promise to "make you and Chi Hong go down in history (game history)," a resounding slap to wake him up completely!
Just now on Highway 22, that arrogant, almost comical, and easily broken-down little green guy could still comfort himself by saying it was artistic exaggeration, not him.
but now!
What are all these comments saying?!
Why avoid mentioning your championship status?!
What the heck is this "shortest-reigning champion in history"?!
With Qinglv's intelligence, she deduced the "truth" almost instantly.
In the game, the first Pokémon to arrive at the Pokémon League and successfully pass the Elite Four's test will become the champion!
Then, this newly crowned champion, barely having time to settle in, will be immediately challenged and defeated by the player who also cleared the Four Heavenly Kings!
That's why he became the "shortest-reigning champion in history"!
Who the hell can tolerate this?!
Other plot changes are one thing.
But the game was completed in one weekend, and Little Red defeated the champion Little Green to become the new champion, which will definitely leave a very deep impression on all players!
This ultimate setting concerning "who is the strongest in Kanto" will be solidified once it is established in the game.
The popularity and widespread appeal of Pokémon games worldwide has had a real-world impact.
Wouldn't that reinforce the stereotype that "red overshadows green"?
This is something he absolutely cannot accept!
However, what's done is done.
After all, in their real duel back then, he did indeed lose to Crimson.
Qinglu could only silently break through Baizhou's defenses alone, inwardly cursing Baizhou's "malicious" design and "sinister" intentions.
"Pfft"
A suppressed yet still clear laugh came from behind him.
Without even turning around, Qinglv knew it was definitely that guy, Bilan, who loved to watch the drama unfold.
What are you laughing at?
Qinglu slowly turned around, her tone eerily calm.
Her gaze drifted to Bilan, who was lying on the sofa, covering her mouth and chuckling, and to Xiaohuang next to her, who was also trying not to laugh.
The well-behaved Little Yellow immediately lowered its head when it was swept by Green's "kind" gaze, but its shoulders trembled slightly involuntarily.
"I—I remembered something happy."
Bilan tried hard to keep her face straight and look serious, but the curve of her lips betrayed her.
"What's making you happy?"
Green was closing in step by step, its eyes dangerous.
"Bai Zhou-ge—he had a baby—hahahahahahaha!"
Azure finally broke down completely, bursting into laughter and rolling around on the sofa with mirth.
The laughter was so infectious that even Little Huang next to him couldn't help but burst out laughing.
Although she immediately covered it with her hand, the smile in her eyes was impossible to hide.
Green:
