The moment Articuno appeared, the entire arena erupted in shock!
Apart from Xu Zhenzhen, who sat calmly in the guest section, not a single person could keep their composure.
Holy shit, how could anyone stay calm?
They had come to watch a normal match, and now a Legendary Pokémon had appeared?
As Articuno's graceful form appeared in the sky, the atmosphere reached a fever pitch.
"My god, it's the legendary Articuno!"
"Not only does Xu Mu have Lugia, he also has this legendary Pokémon!"
"There were rumors that since Lugia is the god of the sea and the Main God of the Legendary Birds, and Xu Mu managed to catch Lugia..."
"He could probably catch the Legendary Birds too!"

"Today, we've witnessed another miracle together: Articuno's first appearance in a public competition!"
"As a Trainer's Pokémon!"

Mi Jiu simply knew who was paying his salary.

What did the audience know? All he had to do was steer the conversation.
As Mi Jiu hyped up Xu Mu and Articuno without restraint or shame, images of the two of them spread across the internet.
Within minutes, they were on the front pages of major websites around the world.
Every media outlet in the Eastern Lands and Western Europe rushed to report news about Xu Mu.
Even gossip and negative stories about him—every cheap, attention-grabbing trick—were dragged out.
Anything to catch people's
