Pokémon Devil King

Chapter 291 Add Something Else

The lights on the stage suddenly gathered, and the noise in the audience fell silent the moment the countdown started.

Jiuji and Jiuwei stood on the left side of the venue, their silver-white tails gleaming with a cold luster under the spotlight; Xiaoyao stood at the other end with Xiangwei Miao in her arms, her fingertips unconsciously stroking her partner's fur.

"The first match, Jiuji vs. Xiaoyao!" The host's voice echoed excitedly, "The match lasts five minutes, the match begins!"

"Nine-tailed Fox, Flame Whirlpool."

The nine-tailed fox's vortex of flames was the first to tear through the air, and the red flame column rushed straight to the dome like a coiled dragon, and the hot air wave lifted the corners of the clothes of the audience in the front row.

Xiaoyao's hairband was rustling in the wind, and the blizzard command was almost drowned in the roar.

The cat grasped the ground with its limbs tightly and quickly condensed a cold air from its mouth. In the blink of an eye, a blizzard surged out and continued to sweep towards the vortex of fire.

The gushing cold current hit the flame barrier, but dissipated completely in the sizzling white mist, and instead cast a hazy halo on the Nine-Tailed Fox.

"The blizzard has been suppressed!" Miss Joy sighed, "The heat from the vortex of fire is devouring the advantage of the field." Xiaoyao's score bar on the electronic screen suddenly shrank by one third.

The host's voice rang out: "Miaowei's blizzard couldn't break through the vortex of fire. What's worse, it even enhanced the opponent's charm. His score was severely deducted!"

"Not enough..." Xiaoyao's clenched fist suddenly loosened, "Xiangwei, help!"

Silver light flashed! The whirlwind of the hunting swallowtail butterfly penetrated the aftermath of the flames, and Jiuwei was forced to retreat half a step for the first time. Jiuji raised his eyebrows and smiled softly: "Iron Tail."

As the metallic luster tore through the storm, the coffee cups in the judges' seats vibrated and Xiaoyao's score bar shrank rapidly.

"Only half of the score is left. Does contestant Xiaoyao still have a chance to make up for the disadvantage?" the host shouted excitedly.

"Finish with a jet of flame." Before Jiuji finished speaking, several white silk threads had already wrapped around the Nine-Tail's tail. Surprise flashed in her eyes. When did Xiaoyao learn to use skills secretly?

Unfortunately, the level difference is too big!

The red flames and explosive roars engulfed the opponent, and Cat Tailed curled up into a charred ball in the heat wave.

The electronic screen sounded the end tone, and the host announced the result of the competition: "Xiangwei Miao has lost the ability to fight. The winners are Jiuji and Jiuwei!"

The applause from the judges gradually died down, and Kyuubi walked to Jiuji's side, with a wisp of smoke rising from the tip of his tail.

"You did a great job, Xiangwei Miao." Xiaoyao squatted down and carefully held Xiangwei Miao in his arms, and suddenly felt a shadow over his head.

"You caught the timing of the skills well. You can add something else next time." Jiuji bent over and chuckled. If it were her, she would definitely let Xiangwei Miao learn some debuff skills and choose the right time to add status to other skills.

Xiaoyao's hand, which was stroking the cat's fur, trembled. Could it be what she was thinking?

There was basically no suspense in the subsequent matches. The Masked User defeated Musashi to advance, and Jiuji defeated the Masked User to win the final victory.

After winning the Green Field Conference, Jiuji said goodbye to Xiaoyao and his group and embarked on a journey to Zijin City.

Although Xiaoyao lost to Jiuji in the competition, she learned a lot of valuable experience from Jiuji and became more determined to become a top coordinator.

It was already the next morning when they arrived at Zijin City. Jiuji got off the spaceship, with a lazy Pichu on his shoulder, a dozing Togepi in his arms, and Daidai, who was as simple and honest as ever, beside him.

Her first stop was naturally the Pokémon Center, where she prepared to apply for a gym challenge.

However, things did not go as she wished.

"Mr. Tiexuan is dealing with some issues with the electrical system. He is not in the gym at the moment and cannot accept the challenge for the time being." Miss Joy turned around with a hint of apology in her tone.

"Is there a problem with the power system?" Jiuji frowned slightly, a trace of doubt in his heart, "Did Mr. Tiexuan say when he would be back? Or, how long has he been dealing with it?"

Miss Joy thought for a moment and replied, "It's been almost two days. I remember Mr. Tiexuan went out the night before yesterday and hasn't come back yet."

"Can you tell me where Mr. Tiexuan went? Maybe I can help." Jiuji offered. He was free anyway, and if he could solve the power problem, he might be able to complete the gym challenge before leaving.

Miss Joy carefully checked Jiuji's identity information. After seeing her identity as a temporary worker, oh no, a temporary investigator, she handed her a document.

"Two days ago, the power system in Violet City was abnormal. It is suspected that poachers took advantage of the loopholes in the power system to carry out illegal activities. Mr. Tiexuan suspects that their target is electric Pokémon, especially rare electric Pokémon."

"However, there is still no news about Mr. Tiexuan. I am worried that he may be in trouble."

Jiuji put away the information and nodded: "I'll go over and take a look!"

After leaving the Pokémon Center, Jiuji went straight to the abandoned power plant. According to the information, after the unmanned power plant was abandoned, it gradually became a gathering place for wild electric Pokémon. If she was a poacher, there was no other more suitable place.

The power plant is located on the edge of Violet City, surrounded by a desolate industrial area.

Jiuji stood outside the power plant, looked up at the towering chimneys and rusty iron gates, and a hint of doubt arose in his heart.

Didn't Mr. Tiexuan come over here? Why is there no movement at all?

Jiuji glanced around but didn't find any signs of human activity at the door.

"Geng Gui, go investigate." Jiuji said softly.

Gengar quietly emerged from her shadow, nodded, and then turned into a black shadow and sneaked into the power plant silently.

After a while, Gengar returned to Jiuji's side.

Dai Dai Translation: [Jiujiu, there are three people inside, an old man, and some electric Pokémon locked up.]

Old man? That should be Mr. Tiexuan.

After a little thought, Jiuji gently threw the Poké Ball and released Huahua.

According to the plan, she and Flowey were responsible for attracting the poachers' attention, while Gengar and Daidai were responsible for rescuing Mr. Teppanyaki and those electric Pokémon.

With a creaky sound, the iron gate slowly opened, making a dull sound that seemed particularly harsh in this silent environment.

Jiuji walked steadily into the power plant with Huahua.

The interior of the power plant was dark and damp, with a pungent smell of rust in the air. The sound of footsteps echoed in the empty factory, and was particularly clear.

"Who's there!" A rough voice suddenly sounded, and then three figures walked out from the shadows.

Jiuji stopped and glanced at the three people coldly: "You are the poachers, right? You are so brave to cause trouble in Zijin City."

The leading poacher sneered: "Little girl, mind your own business, or we will be rude to you!"

Jiuji's mouth corners slightly raised: "Oh~Thanks for the reminder."

Before he finished speaking, Hua stretched out several tough vine whips, like nimble pythons, and attacked the poachers at an extremely fast speed.
