Seeing this, Lin Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.
He promptly gave the command, "Dual Grass Whistle!!"
The Snivy in the air heard Lin Feng's command. Its eyes remained calm as it descended gracefully, green light flowing around its tail. In an instant, a two- to three-meter-tall grassy whirlwind spun into existence and swept down from the air toward Lapras.
The Icy Wind shattered on contact.
The rustling wind snapped Chi Chang back to his senses, and he immediately shouted, "Ice Beam!"
Lapras instantly recovered from the shock of Snivy's evolution and fired a beam of icy crystal light from its mouth, trying to stop the whirlwind.
But in the next moment—
A sight that stunned every spectator present appeared.
Before the leaves within the whirlwind, the crystalline beam was forced back as though crushed by an overwhelming force, unable to resist in the slightest.
The whirlwind slammed viciously into Lapras, erupting with a roar like an explosion.
After the aftershock faded, Lapras staggered. Several bloody marks appeared on its body. After evolving, it had been instantly defeated by a single attack!
Meanwhile, Snivy landed calmly on the ground, turned around, and smiled at its Trainer.
Clearly, it had won this battle.
Congratulations to the host for raising Snivy's Joy Value from 80% to 95%. Rewards: three bags of Intermediate Golden Fertilizer, one Intermediate Rare Candy, and one Ability Development Energy Cube.
"A comeback—a jaw-dropping comeback!"
"Everyone thought the evolved Lapras would undoubtedly take first place in this match, but who knew there would be another powerhouse!"
"From Lapras gradually squeezing Snivy's room to maneuver, to accurately seizing the chance to locate Snivy, it had absolutely gone all out!
And yet..."
"Snivy still evolved under Lapras's crushing pressure, then defeated it in a single strike! Incredible, absolutely incredible! Is this really the level a Baby Cup should have?"
"The power of that whirlwind! It's simply unbelievable!"
Standing atop Aegislash, Li Bing gave an impassioned commentary from the bottom of his heart.
There was no helping it. There had been too many reversals.
When Lapras was injured at the start, he had thought Snivy's Trainer would surely become the champion.
He never expected that midway through, Lapras would be directly guided by Snivy's Trainer into dispersing the energy within its body.
Just when he thought Lapras's evolution meant it had the championship in the bag,
Snivy actually evolved under such immense pressure and turned the tables!
And what was more—
Throughout the entire match, he had been watching Lin Feng's expression.
He discovered that although the young man's face occasionally showed slight fluctuations, he had remained extremely composed when dealing with Lapras's energy dispersal and when witnessing Snivy's evolution.
That meant—
He had absolute confidence in both matters!
But—
When dealing with Lapras's issue, he had not even approached it for an examination. From dozens of meters away, he had dared to act like that!
What kind of Breeder was this?
I need to pry some information out of him...
With that thought, Li Bing immediately roused the audience. "As everyone saw, when Lapras was injured just now, it was contestant Lin Feng who treated it. This undoubtedly proves that apart from being an outstanding Trainer, contestant Lin Feng is also a Breeder. So, would everyone like to know where he comes from?"
The audience in the stands—
Had long since been left dumbfounded by this twisty battle, and their emotions were already running high.
With Li Bing stirring them up like this,
They answered without even thinking, "Yes!"
"Wuwuwu, he really is a Breeder? Is there such a young Breeder in Wutong City? Let me guess, which family's..."
A Tail Flame Streaking Across the Sky, Egg Guessing Riddle
"Hm?"
Lin Feng curiously glanced at Li Bing in the sky. He had not expected the commentator up there to give him a helping hand.
He had thought he would have to wait until the match ended and reporters crowded around him before he could get the chance to widely promote his little Breeding Shop.
Seeing Li Bing fly down, Lin Feng cleared his throat and considered how he should make things up later.
Li Bing said, "Contestant Lin Feng, as the champion of this Baby Cup, you quickly identified and resolved Lapras's problem during the match. May I ask whether you are a Breeder? If so, could you tell us which Breeding House you work for?"
Lin Feng said, "Yes. I've studied breeding knowledge with my parents since I was little. It has been twelve years now. You could say that no matter what Pokémon it is, I can tell at a glance whether there's something wrong with it!"
"As for which Breeding Shop... it's a little Breeding Shop in Wutong Town called Neighbor Breeder House~"
He looked at Snivy... no, Servine, and scooped it into his arms. "See? Smooth, radiant skin and an extremely high level of energy control—this is what a Pokémon that grew up eating Neighbor Breeder House's Energy Cubes looks like.
"Our shop currently sells Nourishing Energy Cubes and Stamina Energy Cubes, all guaranteed to be naturally made. From now on, you'll never have to worry about your Pokémon's looks or stamina again. We can also solve all sorts of difficult Pokémon ailments. First come, first served, and you can even admire beautiful beau—hey, wait, I'm not finished yet?!"
Watching Li Bing move the microphone away, Lin Feng still felt unsatisfied.
Servine: ???
It was still completely confused when it was carried beneath the spotlight.
Was I just used in an advertisement?
Li Bing was even more embarrassed.
This livestream was being broadcast on Wutong City's Pokémon battles channel. Who knew how many people in Wutong City were watching right now?
And Lin Feng had actually started advertising on air!
"Ahem, everyone heard him. Neighbor Breeder House—interested friends can go take a look. Now, we still have one final match... though I wonder whether contestant Chi Chang can still compete..."
He tried his best to steer the topic back toward the battle.
But after hearing Lin Feng's words, the audience had all become curious about the shop called "Neighbor Breeder House."
Some had even begun searching for it online.
In the end,
The final match was not fought.
Chi Chang's Lapras truly had no fighting ability left and would not recover anytime soon.
Therefore,
Lin Feng took first place in the end, while second place... really did go to Qin Shu.
After getting through the group stage, she had not fought another battle and effortlessly took second place.
It could be said that throughout the entire competition, she had been the true chosen one.
After the competition ended,
A huge group of reporters surrounded Lin Feng, asking for his basic information—such as what school he had graduated from as a Trainer, what level he currently was as a Breeder, and so on...
Lin Feng answered every question seriously, and once again promoted Neighbor Breeder House.
Then came the awards ceremony.
The organizer, Chi Heng, presented Lin Feng's prize with a complicated expression.
Without question, the Baby Cup he had organized had been a success.
Both its viewership and the atmosphere on site had been excellent.
But in the end...
The person who picked the fruit was not the one he had wanted!
Still, if not for Lin Feng at the end of the match, the entire Baby Cup might have turned into an accident.
And he was such a young Breeder, too...
After considering it all, Chi Heng sighed inwardly. He felt that someone as talented as Lin Feng, both as a Trainer and a Breeder, should not be offended.
So, during the final awards presentation, he smiled.
First Prize: one Starter Pokémon Egg, one Wangwang Supermarket shopping card worth eighty-eight thousand, and one chance to participate in the Wangwang Supermarket headquarters' Egg Guessing Riddle!
First came the shopping card worth eighty-eight thousand, which was handed directly to Lin Feng.
Then came the Starter Pokémon Egg. Since the egg source had not yet arrived, Lin Feng would be notified within a week to come choose one.
Finally, there was the headquarters Egg Guessing Riddle.
It was a very interesting game.
It was divided into covered guessing and open guessing.
Wangwang Supermarket headquarters would place thirty eggs before the contestant.
As long as the contestant correctly guessed the species of at least twenty-eight of the thirty eggs, they would successfully complete the open guessing round and could choose one Pokémon Egg from among those twenty-eight to take home.
For covered guessing, the Pokémon Eggs would be covered with a layer of black cloth.
The contestant could only feel the egg with their hands, sensing its patterns and temperature, before guessing what it was!
For this one, correctly guessing twenty-five eggs was enough to succeed.
Likewise, anyone who succeeded in covered guessing could take home one Pokémon Egg from the twenty-five eggs they had identified.
According to Chi Heng, most of the Pokémon Eggs in covered guessing were of slightly better quality than those in open guessing.
And Wangwang Supermarket's Xiang Province headquarters was located in Changsha City, the provincial capital and central city of Xiang Province.
