Chapter 163 Player Attacks... Wait a minute, why are the players attacking the commentary booth? (3200 words)
As soon as Wei Xin stepped onto the field, he heard a roar of excitement from the surrounding audience. The commentator began to introduce the players: "Welcome everyone to the final match of the Magic University Freshman Tournament. Today's last player is one of the top seeds among Magic University's freshmen, Wei Xin, and his partner, the Odd-colored Ralts. This player has remained injury-free in all his matches so far, and his strength is considerable. Moreover, he is one of only two players in the quarterfinals who did not use a Power-Up Ball. What does Mr. Spinner think?"
"Perhaps it's to prove his abilities. Newcomers always have their own principles, which is understandable." A man in a suit in the commentary booth watched Wei Xin step onto the stage with a smile.
It was him, the one who discovered the secret of the Lac element and publicized it extensively, causing a lot of trouble for his plans.
Spinner twitched the corner of her mouth. Every time the temperature rose, these buzzing insects in her ear were the most annoying thing.
"I understand that every scientific and technological achievement has to go through a process of being questioned and criticized, but as times progress, I believe everyone will understand that LACK is a substance that can benefit the whole world. As a researcher at Beyond Company, I can assure everyone on behalf of the company."
Spinner proudly declared, "Only the Powerball is the future of trainers."
"Beyond Company?" Upon hearing the name Beyond Company, Wei Xin frowned and looked towards the commentary booth.
Is that you, the guy who researches Lackey and hurts Pokémon?
As a well-mannered college student, adhering to the life motto of putting aside personal ethics, enjoying a life of immorality, refusing mental exhaustion, and going crazy when things get tough, Wei Xin really wants to curse right now.
But he couldn't speak now because Lillie was busy with the Energy Cube Workshop. As the face of the group, he had to be careful with his words and actions, and couldn't let Lillie's efforts go to waste because of personal reasons.
Seeing Wei Xin's fierce expression, the commentator exclaimed in surprise, "The atmosphere on the field is quite tense! Before the match begins, do either of you have anything to say?"
"Wei Xin, you—" Qiao Sida began, though his opponent was strong, he couldn't afford to lose in terms of momentum.
"Excuse me, please wait a moment..." Wei Xin raised his hand to stop his opponent from speaking. Wei Xin was prepared for this situation where he couldn't directly curse. He took out his Rotom phone from his pocket and whispered, "Rotom, activate the 'civility mode'."
"Received, downloading the Zaun module, accessing the target's ancestral home, no ancestral home found, identified as nomonother."
"Fucking bitch, program creation in progress, creation complete."
Rotom floated into the sky, his face filled with displeasure and anger, as if he had encountered the dog that had run off to retrieve its bag after being revived in the game last night. He strode up to the commentary booth, pointed at Spinner's nose, and shouted angrily, "Spinner, I copied—"
Spiner's smile froze. She blinked, looking bewildered, before saying, "Wei Xin, please withdraw Rotom as soon as possible and don't disrupt the competition."
Wei Xin pointed Rotom's Poké Ball at the sky, and the red laser disappeared in mid-air, unable to touch Rotom at all. Wei Xin shrugged; his Pokémon had suddenly become disobedient, and there was nothing he could do.
He's just a newcomer.
The players started attacking the commentary booth? Amazing! This match was definitely worth the ticket price.
The audience's expressions instantly became excited; they all sat up straight, some even pulling out binoculars and waving and shouting encouragement: "Let him curse!"
Let him rant.
Furthermore, they've long been fed up with items like Power-Up Balls that disrupt the competitive environment. Veteran players painstakingly train their Pokémon for two or three years...
New players who just debuted can go head-to-head with veteran players just by getting a newbie gift pack. Isn't this game planner a complete idiot?
Ralts popped out of its Poké Ball, teleported onto Rotom's head, and glared at Spinel in the commentary booth. "This guy's the one who makes his trainers work overtime every night! You better stay in the commentary booth and never come out again! If we meet in the wild..."
I will definitely slap you in the face.
Rotom continued to spout off: "Your research on Lac elements is immoral and unethical. As a Pokémon trainer, it is unjust for your research results to harm Pokémon. As a company employee, it is disloyal for your boss to have ulterior motives. I searched through your family tree and couldn't find a second person like you, which is unfilial."
Qiao Sida nervously swallowed, watching Lotom speak fluently and aggressively, and was glad that Wei Xin had stopped him in time, preventing him from uttering his pre-match trash talk.
He gripped the enhanced ball tightly, looked at Wei Xin, and suddenly really wanted to say something—Dude, you can't criticize me after you've finished criticizing Spiner.
"Don't talk nonsense. I have no ulterior motives towards Beyond Company. There is absolutely no problem with our company's research results!" Spinner quickly denied. Putting aside the facts, his plan had not yet been implemented, and he had not yet removed the boss's wheelchair. How could he be accused of disloyalty to the company?
"That just proves you're stupid!" Rotom roared. "As a researcher, if you can't even figure out the dangers of the Lac element, you're either stupid or malicious! With this level of expertise, I suspect you've committed academic misconduct. The public has discerning eyes. Do you dare to publish your research data on the Lac element so everyone can investigate?"
Spinner hesitated, because the research report on the Lac element did indeed have problems. Only he and some of his researchers knew about this. Their boss was now living off the Lac element every day, and he was turning a blind eye to it.
"Alright, alright, Ralts, bring Rotom back." Seeing that Spinner couldn't think of anything to say, Wei Xin successfully got Spinner to reveal her identity as someone who knew the truth. He wasn't in a hurry, since they were in Donghuang anyway, and he and Spinner could have a long time to get to know each other.
Rotom is the MVP of this round of eliminations.
"Sorry, Mr. Spinnell, my Rotom is Unit-01, and the AI is a bit unstable," Wei Xin said with a smile. Rotom returned to Wei Xin's hand, and he gave the Rotom's screen a perfunctory slap, as if admitting his mistake—like an adult trying to stop a crying child.
Look, I've already scolded him. Why don't we just let this go? He's still just a child.
On the commentary stage, Spinner clenched his fists, veins bulging on his forehead, his body trembling with anger. It took him a while to barely calm himself down. What did it matter if he won with words? On the field, it was all about strength. With the power of the enhanced ball, victory was inevitable.
Another commentator quickly interjected, "Let's focus on the match; it seems that player Qiao Sida has something to say."
"Huh?" Qiao Sida was completely bewildered, shaking his head vigorously like a rattle-drum. "No, I didn't, don't talk nonsense!" he cried, afraid that Wei Xin would bring up Rotom again. He thought to himself, "If he dares to attack even the commentators, let alone his opponents." He pleaded, "Wei Xin—"
"What, you want to beg for mercy too?" Wei Xin turned to look at Qiao Sida. It seemed to be a common practice for opponents to beg for mercy before a match, but he would never let any trainer who used a power-up ball get away with it.
Qiao Sida seemed to have given up, but the thought of forfeiting in front of everyone in the freshman quarterfinals would mean the end of his trainer career, so he could only grit his teeth and throw out a Poké Ball: "Go, Spiny Cactus (Desert Gryphon)."
Then throw out the enhancement ball to amplify the effect.
"Nyarlathotep!" The spiky cactus grinned menacingly, clenched its fists, and threw a punch like it was about to start its own attack.
"Ralts, finish this quickly." Wei Xin threw out a Poké Ball, and Ralts, enveloped in white light, appeared on the field.
"Ralts!" Ralts beckoned to the spiky cactus, "Come here!" She planned to finish the battle quickly so the trainer could rest a bit more.
"Spiky cactus, seed machine gun."
"Oh, with the boost from the Enhancement Ball, the Spiny Cactus's seed machine gun is like a Gatling gun firing continuous seed bombs. Ralts is in big trouble."
It is not a crisis.
"Ralts, Magical Flame!"
"Ralts!" During the trainer's busy time, Ralts didn't rest either. She went to see Alakazam and Cynthia for advice. After training, she became more proficient in the moves. In order to let the trainer get off work as soon as possible, Ralts used two hundred percent of her strength.
Fire Release: True Great Fire Annihilation!
A giant fire serpent appeared on the field. The attack, imbued with the element of Lak, dissipated the moment it touched Zygarde's power. A crackling sound accompanied by foul black smoke filled the air, and a heat wave instantly rushed towards the spiky cactus.
This power is wrong!
"Dryra, get out of the way!" Qiao Sida was shocked and hurriedly gave the order, but it was no use. The Pokémon that was boosted by the boost ball was like a player whose dodge button was removed. Its confidence was overflowing. "Just a mere magical flame, watch me use my body to push it back."
"The magical flames struck the spiky cactus! Can it withstand it?"
"Nyarlathotep!" The flames subsided, and the spiky cactus raised its arms and shouted, before collapsing straight onto the field.
"The spiky cactus is unable to fight, and player Wei Xin advances to the semi-finals."
Spinner slammed her fist on the table, feeling a burning pain on her face, her expression barely concealed.
The boost from a Power-Up Ball is comprehensive; even if that Ralts is exceptionally gifted, it couldn't possibly one-shot a Spiny Cactus.
Who exactly is this Wei Xin? After a moment of thought, Spinner thought of something. In the legends of the Eastern Empire, there exists a treasure called the Imperial Seal of the State. According to legend, when it was passed down to later generations, a corner of it was accidentally damaged. However, he had seen it in the company's files. The damaged corner was not actually the seal itself, but a Zygarde core sealed within the seal.
The Zygarde is now in their boss's hands, but there are not one, but two Zygarde in the seal. The whereabouts of the other one are unknown after the seal was lost.
Spinner frowned, her gaze fixed on Wei Xin. Could it be that the Imperial Seal was in his hands?
That would make things difficult.
As an ecological protector, Zygarde has a natural ability to suppress the Lak element. His original plan was to spread the Lak element, seize the opportunity to steal and control the Zygarde next to the boss, thereby expanding the company's territory and climbing to the peak of power step by step. Now there is still a wild Zygarde outside, and it is unknown what impact it will have on his plans.
However, if he could obtain this Zygarde polyhedron, his plan would undoubtedly go much more smoothly. The only question was, where exactly was this Zygarde polyhedron?
Leaving the commentary room, Spinner released a Daemon and a Umbreon. Information about something as important as a Polyhedron couldn't be revealed casually; the only clue they had right now was Wei Xin himself. Spinner pointed to Wei Xin's photo: "Find an opportunity to hypnotize him, then bring him back to the company."
Watching his two capable lieutenants depart, Spinner chuckled. Although Wei Xin had brought along a powerful Ralts,
But after all, he's a rookie trainer, and ordinary people can't resist the mental hypnosis of the monster.
