Women in love weren't usually thinking straight.
Beauty was in the eye of the beholder. There was nothing wrong with that saying, either.
Seeing how easily Xu Mu had settled the dispute between the two Pokémon—and even gotten Lucario, who had been with her since childhood, to listen—Cynthia couldn't help saying, "Xu Mu, you really are a born Trainer!"
Xu Mu was speechless. Could I tell her I only became a Trainer because I had no choice?
Before long, the contestants began entering one after another, and it was Xu Mu's turn to compete.
After saying goodbye to Cynthia, Xu Mu walked through the contestants' passage and arrived at Field Seven.
"Red corner, Fengcheng Xumu!"
"Blue corner, Zhao Sen of Flame City!"
"Each side may use one Pokémon. Begin!"
As the referee waved his flag, Xu Mu and the young man named Zhao Sen released their Pokémon at the same time.
Snorlax versus Blaziken!
"Blaziken, the opponent doesn't look that strong. Let's test him with Bullet Punch first!"
Zhao Sen was probably one of Flame City's rising stars. Xu Mu hadn't seen him at the national league, but that Blaziken at the peak of the Elite level was enough to tell him the young man had a bright future.
Of course, the future is yours. The present is mine!
Too bad you ran into me, Xu Mu.
"Snorlax!"
[You think I'm not strong? Are you blind?]
Maybe Snorlax had spent too much time with Greninja lately. Already arrogant, he had picked up the habit of trash talk.
And he was only getting worse...
"Snorlax! Snorlax!"
[Xu Mu, hurry! Let's show this bastard what real power looks like!]
[You weakling! How dare you act tough in front of me!]
Xu Mu was speechless.
He had been speechless far too many times
