Chapter 196 "Everyone stand up!!!"
"The outcome hinges on this!"
"Damn! That's awesome! It's totally on fire!!!"
"Charizard! It's the legendary Charizard from Red! Charge forward with the crimson will!"
"Charizard is a Legendary Blue Pokémon! The starter Pokémon in Red is Venusaur! You're a fake fan!"
"Chicken Egg, hold on! The Pink Devil can't lose!"
"This is truly a battle between the strongest!"
The chat exploded with comments again, and the number of viewers in the live stream had already skyrocketed, but Bai Zhou had no interest in paying attention to any of that right now.
The final moment of the battle is about to begin!
"The Poliwag is out of stamina. Its poison status will allow it to finish itself off, meaning Red only has one Charizard left!"
Bai Zhou's mind raced as he quickly analyzed the situation, and confidence returned to his face.
"It's over! I refuse to believe Charizard can take on three opponents at once, even if they're Red! Besides, my Chansey has reached its peak power and is invincible!"
"Three against one! The advantage is on our side!"
He almost shouted it out.
"How could I lose!"
Both sides chose to cover their cards simultaneously.
The round begins.
Charizard uses "Brick Break".
"Brick Break" hit detection: Chansey successfully dodged!
"Breaking the tile" missed!
Chansey uses "Geo-toss".
Charizard steadily deducts stamina.
The round is over.
"That's right! That's exactly it!"
Bai Zhou smiled knowingly, as if everything was under control.
"It's exactly the script I had in mind."
Both sides have no other room for maneuver and are simply repeating the actions of the previous round.
The round begins.
Charizard uses "Brick Break".
"Brick Break" hit detection: Chansey failed to dodge!
"Broken Tile" hits!
"The effect is excellent!"
Chansey was exhausted and collapsed.
The round is over.
boom!
HP-1 computer desk
Bai Zhou used his arm to smash the computer desk, startling Gengar, who was engrossed in watching a card battle nearby. Gengar immediately roared in response.
He unleashed two moves in one round!
"Oh dear—"
Is this a case of cheating?
"Impossible! What's going on?! He's cheating! Check the Charizard's stats! How is this possible?! My Chansey's shrink tactic is a masterpiece!"
"Oh dear—how could that be!"
"Hahahaha hiccup"
"Oh no, Old Charizard is going to wipe out the entire team in one go. He shrunk down and maxed out his evasion rate, but it was all for nothing. Salty Fish Teacher is so unlucky."
"After all that effort, it all came to nothing! Hahaha!"
"The Advantage Lies With Me.jpg"
"How Did I Lose.flac"
"Teacher Salty Fish: Referee! He's cheating! He's cheating! (crying)"
The comments section was also taken aback by the dramatic turn of events, and many began to "comfort" (but in reality, they were mocking Bai Zhou) with their own words.
Bai Zhou had no time to read the comments. His fighting spirit was at its peak, and he was constantly calculating Crimson's next command, muttering to himself:
"There's still a chance! Arcanine goes first, as long as—"
Arcanine enters the field.
When the "Intimidate" ability is activated, Charizard's Attack Rank decreases by one.
Arcanine uses "Super Speed".
Charizard's stamina has decreased by more than half, leaving it with one-third.
Charizard uses "Rock Lock".
The effect is excellent.
Arcanine, exhausted, collapsed.
The round is over.
Bai Zhou took a deep breath and served the last bit of soybean paste!
The round begins.
Gengar enters the battle.
Gengar used "Toxic".
Charizard is now in a "poisoned" state.
The "Poisonous Status" effect is in effect, causing Charizard to lose a small amount of health.
Charizard uses "Shadow Claw".
The effect is excellent.
Gengar managed to hold on with only 1 point of HP thanks to its Focus Sash!
The round is over.
"Red, did you borrow that attack from Dan-di?! The moveset is so low-quality!"
Bai Zhou is really getting a bit too hot; what kind of moves are these?!
But his gaze remained firm.
"But! I already said! The advantage is with me!"
"Everyone stand up!!!"
"A commanding sash! It's a commanding sash!"
"Invincible! The Focus Sash that Red Legend gave Pikachu ended up becoming Mr. Saltfish's lifeline! Who would have thought!"
"So dramatic! Is this the magic of top-tier battles?!"
"The highly poisonous status has been activated! There's a chance! There's a real chance!"
"Taking the tools prepared by the other side for your own use, isn't that also a form of NTR?"
Countless bullet comments flooded in, bringing with them countless gifts.
Of course, Bai Zhou couldn't possibly ignore the generous "bread and butter" donors.
He calmed himself down and said with a smile:
"You could actually just transfer the money directly to my card, after all, the platform takes a cut of the gifts—just kidding, it's time to end this!"
"after all--"
"I lack nothing now!"
"Show us our bond, Gengar!"
The Gengar sitting next to the white boat shouted in unison, its chubby body bursting with an astonishing aura.
"Eyes! (I am the mandate of heaven!)"
Bai Zhou waved his hand and shouted the decisive command.
66
Hold the line!
The tactical plan at the beginning was perfectly executed at the end!
Charizard was delayed until it died, it was disgusting!
In the end, White Boat won by a narrow margin of 1 HP over Gengar!
Battle over!
"Oh, we lost."
On the other side, Red gathered up the scattered Pokémon cards, his face showing no disappointment, but rather a hint of happiness.
He patted the Charizard next to him on the shoulder, revealing a sunny and cheerful smile.
"There's nothing we can do about it. After all, Brother Bai Zhou is really amazing. Sorry, Charizard, but—"
We'll win next time.
Xiao Huang, who witnessed this scene from behind, blushed inexplicably for some reason.
Green glared at Crimson, seemingly displeased that he had so easily admitted defeat, and then uttered these words.
"Leave it to me next time—don't try to take it from me."
Only Xiao Lan, staring at the brightly lit live stream camera, seemed lost in thought, as if plotting some wicked idea.
at the same time.
Bai Zhou turned on the live stream microphone.
"Thank you Red Legends for the amazing card battle exhibition match! We want to reiterate that the outcome of this card battle is purely for exhibition purposes; please do not overanalyze it or apply it to real-world Pokémon battles!"
"An exhibition match? No—"
Just as Crimson was about to retort bluntly, Green next to him elbowed him so hard he was silenced.
After a brief and rapid exchange of glances, Crimson gave in, and somewhat awkwardly changed his tune:
"Alright—an exhibition match it is—but let's have a real match next time! I can't wait!"
"Next time for sure, next time for sure!"
Bai Zhou skillfully used the tactic of stalling.
"Let's thank Crimson Legend again! We can talk in the group if you need anything. I have to go now because I'm streaming. Bye~"
After saying that, he quickly disconnected from the live stream channel before Xiao Lan could appear and defeat the props he had made.
It's not that I'm unwilling to play the game for her, it's just that the props she made herself were definitely counterfeit, substandard, and unreliable products.
He dared not take the responsibility, fearing that the angry buyer would exterminate him along with his ghost.
"Alright, everyone, this live stream is almost over. For those of you interested in Pokémon Trading Cards, you can click the little yellow cart at the bottom of the live stream or the link on the homepage. Pre-orders are currently available with a discount!"
"Please follow the streamer! The big update for the Pokémon game and the release date for Pokémon Trading Cards are both on the same day, it's almost here! Don't worry, good things come to those who wait!"
"Also, my Pokémon playthrough is almost over. The final Champion Road challenge will be streamed live at 8 PM on the day of the game update, so don't forget to tune in!"
"Well then—that's all for today's live stream—bye~"
The moment the words were spoken, the live stream screen went black!
Decisive and efficient, without any hesitation, highlighting his "ruthlessness".
Only a bunch of confused comments were left, drifting alone across the dark screen – this was a classic Bai Zhou tradition.
Fans have a love-hate relationship with this, but they've long since gotten used to it.
"Teacher Saltyfish, please stream a little longer! I just finished one card battle with Crimson and I'm logging off! Now, I'll play another one against Azure and the others!"
"Surely no one actually thinks this was an exhibition match? You can click to see my verified profile. As a senior trainer, I can tell you definitively that the strategy employed by both sides in that battle was absolutely masterful. I simply couldn't follow their line of thought!"
"Nonsense, is that the point? The point is Teacher Xianyu's social circle! Forget about Crimson Legends, look at the list of viewers in the live stream, how many big shots are lurking? I just glanced at it and saw several Elite Four members and Gym Leaders! This is just a card game live stream! (speechless.jpg)"
"It's still hard to believe, Saltyfish-sensei really won! He defeated Crimson in a battle! Even if it was just a card battle—who would believe it!"
"Is Mr. Xianyu finally going to finish his first playthrough of Pokémon on his live stream? I've been following his stream since it started, watching him go from Pallet Town all the way to where he is now, it's really quite moving~ (old man wiping away tears.jpg)"
"The Advantage Is Mine" has become a new timeless classic (just kidding)
"Stop spamming, stop spamming! The streamer has already disappeared (sad) —"
The Pokémon Company building, top-floor private meeting room.
The atmosphere was slightly awkward.
Yulong Wataru and Sakaki sat at opposite ends of the large sofa, with a seemingly deliberately maintained safe distance between them.
Daigo, with an awkward yet polite smile, sat on the single sofa in the middle, temporarily acting as a natural buffer.
On the high-definition screen in front of them, the interface of Bai Zhou's live broadcast room, which had already gone black, was displayed.
After a moment of silence, Yu Longdu spoke first, breaking the slightly awkward silence.
"I hadn't paid much attention to him before—Shirashu."
He carefully considered his words, but his gaze did not specifically look at anyone.
"What's the actual outcome of a Pokémon battle ending in a draw?"
Whether it was because of some previous friction or because his pride as a champion made him unable to back down, he did not ask Sakaki by name.
"My acquaintance with Mr. Shiraishu is far less long than that of the two of you here today, and our exchanges have mostly focused on academic and mineral fields. I've only heard that he hasn't been formally breeding Pokémon for very long."
Seeing this, Daigo naturally took over the conversation. He picked up his cup of black tea, took a small sip, and said in a gentle tone:
"However, the Gengar beside him is indeed exceptionally well-trained. Its energy concentration and synergy with its trainer are unlike those of a newly formed partner; they seem more like long-time companions."
"It is indeed a newly trained Pokémon."
Sakaki's deep voice rang out as he joined the conversation.
He placed his hands on his knees, his posture composed.
"Back in his earlier days, he didn't have these Pokémon around him, and as for his battle skills—"
He hesitated slightly, as if recalling something, but ultimately decided to share his opinion.
"Dream, he once actively followed him for a period of time, and during that period, the Arrows team also had several 'contacts' with him."
He used a rather euphemistic way of putting it.
"But without exception, they all failed."
"Although I have never had a formal match against him, judging from the tactical thinking, timing, and resource management he displayed in that card game just now—"
"His combat skills are indeed far superior to those of the average gym leader, reaching a very high level."
"Conservatively speaking, if he uses real Pokémon to battle that kid Red, he can at least hold his own."
He paused, then added:
"Of course, this is just my speculation based on a card battle and my personal experience, and is for reference only."
Yulongdu glanced at Sakaki with some surprise; he truly hadn't expected the other to respond to his question so calmly.
Moreover, it gave a very high rating.
"What do you guys think—how about I find an opportunity to challenge him to a no-rules match?"
Yu Longdu stroked his chin, a hint of belligerence flashing in his eyes.
"This will allow us to more intuitively assess his combat capabilities. When we conduct joint operations, we'll have a clear understanding of his situation and be able to decide whether we need to assign more people to his side for security."
"Pfft—cough, cough cough cough."
Upon hearing this, Sakaki couldn't help himself. He didn't even have time to control his facial muscles, and a short, soft laugh escaped his lips.
Fortunately, his long-cultivated composure allowed him to immediately restrain himself, but the sudden reversal of airflow caused him to choke on his saliva, making him cough violently and uncontrollably.
A clear, bulging vein appeared on Yu Longdu's head.
He thought that after their conversation, Sakaki had at least temporarily put aside his resentment, but it turned out he was still the same.
Is this mocking his proposal?
"you--"
Yu Longdu's tone was tinged with displeasure.
"Sorry, I lost my composure."
Sakaki finally stopped coughing, waved his hand, and his tone returned to calm, even carrying a rare hint of apology.
"I was just thinking about some happy things."
He looked at Yulongdu, his eyes becoming serious.
"However, I advise you to give up the idea of fighting Bai Jin without rules as soon as possible."
