I have to say, the match where Pikachu instantly one-shot Paras drew even more attention to the already eye-catching Anna Lee, which indirectly caused Lorze—who was sandwiched between the two beauties—to inexplicably receive a massive amount of stares.
As he walked onto the battlefield, not only were Anna and Xue Yi watching his every move, but many other competitors were also casting their gazes his way.
For Lorze, this was not a good thing. After all, his Ralts was simply far too eye-catching.
But since he had already entered the tournant, exposing Ralts was only a matter of ti; it was completely unavoidable.
Besides, now that Ralts had mastered the ability to teleport while carrying soone, Lorze no longer had to worry too much about their safety.
So, Ralts, it's ti to let the world witness your magnificent grace!
Since they were going to be exposed anyway, they might as well show off completely. Only by demonstrating enough absolute value could they attract even better investnts.
Lorze, firm in his conviction, stepped onto Field 3, fully prepared to begin his match.
But at this mont, Anna's expression turned slightly bizarre: "Little Xue, sothing doesn't seem right. Field 3 isn't a water pool arena, is it?"
There were a total of five battlefields in the venue, and only Field 5 featured a partial water pool.
If Lorze's Starter Pokémon was genuinely a Feebas, the officials should have prioritized assigning him to Field 5.
Otherwise, how the hell is a pure fish-type Pokémon supposed to fight?
Even if rookie tournants weren't strictly rigorous, the officials wouldn't pull off such a brain-dead move, right?
"That actually makes sense... Could it be that his Pokémon really isn't a Gamble Fish (Feebas)?" Xue Yi couldn't help but feel a wave of confusion. It couldn't seriously be an official oversight, right?
Even if the officials did fuck up, there was no way Lorze wouldn't bring it up.
"So what on earth made you think his Pokémon was a Gamble Fish in the first place?" Anna broke into a cold sweat. Was this really how her bestie gathered intel on their opponents' Pokémon?
Could you be just a little bit more reliable, Young Miss? Can you?
"Uh... well, wasn't it because the Pokémon he claid to have was too fucking absurd, and he didn't bother refuting the Gamble Fish rumors, so I misjudged it?" Xue Yi also felt incredibly awkward.
"Then what Pokémon did he claim to have? How absurd could it be? Don't tell he pulled out a Legendary Pokémon?"
"Not a Legendary, but he said it was... what was it again?"
"Alright, alright, let's just watch. We'll find out in a second." Anna couldn't help but facepalm. So basically, aside from the Umbreon intel, you never paid a single shred of attention to anything else about Lorze?
With your completely indifferent attitude, it'd be a fucking miracle if he ever told you such crucial intelligence!
My dear Young Miss, in the future, could we please try to think about problems from a normal person's perspective a bit more?
Xue Yi rely shrugged in response. Was it her fault?
Her entire mind was solely focused on surpassing her sister right now; where would she find the ti to think about boring shit like romance?
Since I have zero intention of dating him, why the hell should I care about his private life?
However, Xue Yi had to reluctantly admit that maybe she was being a bit too intensely goal-oriented. Perhaps she really should groom so emotional attachnt first before making her move?
But she quickly shook her head. Matters of the heart shouldn't be treated so casually; this required long-term planning.
...
Soon, the match below officially comnced.
The competitor standing opposite Lorze was a high school girl Trainer.
He had actually seen her before; she was soone who had already fought a match. Her Starter Pokémon was a Bulbasaur, and she had won her previous bout with extre ease.
Bulbasaur was a classic traditional Starter Pokémon. A family wealthy enough to afford one presumably wouldn't slack on its cultivation, right?
The only regret was that this Bulbasaur hadn't evolved yet. If possible, he much preferred fighting against an evolved Pokémon.
It wasn't that Lorze was arrogantly assuming unevolved Pokémon were unworthy opponents; he simply didn't fully grasp his own Ralts's true power level yet. He only knew she definitely wasn't weak—she had been sparring with Azumarill, after all.
But as to exactly how strong she was, he could only find out by testing her against a decently powerful opponent.
"Both competitors, please release your Pokémon."
As the referee's voice echoed, the high school girl took the lead and released her Bulbasaur. As soone who had already fought a round, she had nothing left to hide about her Pokémon anyway.
However, she had never seen the teenage boy in front of her. He must have just arrived at the venue, yet his very first random matchup was against a winner like her. Should she consider him incredibly unlucky?
Lucky~ Looks like I can secure an easy second win and head ho~.
That was, until Lorze threw his Poké Ball. The Ralts he had kept strictly hidden for two full months was finally revealed to the public...
"Ralts, co on out."
Following Lorze's command, the Poké Ball violently snapped open, projecting a tiny figure enveloped in red light onto the battlefield.
Once the red light dissipated and the pure white colors erged, the crowd finally got a clear look at the figure's true identity.
"What the fuck kind of Pokémon is that?"
Well, honestly, at first glance, the competitors in the stands failed to recognize Ralts. After all, Ralts's body size was incredibly tiny; from a distance, she just looked like a small, indistinct lump.
If it were a standard-colored Ralts, the iconic white, green, and red palette would be instantly recognizable. But Lorze's Ralts was completely pure white from head to toe, including the sensory horns normally used to detect emotions. At a quick glance, no one could comprehend what the hell this white little blob was.
It wasn't until a guy with better eyesight clearly made out Ralts's silhouette and suddenly blurted out a massive "Holy shit!" that the entire arena instantly exploded.
"Holy fucking shit! Is that a Ralts?!?"
"Holy shit! It actually fucking is!"
"What Ralts? Where? Where?! Let see!"
The exact mont the word "Ralts" was dropped, the male Trainers completely lost their fucking minds. Every single one of them got hyped up as if they had just been injected with adrenaline, their heads instantly snapping in the direction of the voice.
And upon seeing it, the entire crowd collectively lost their shit!
Holy fuck? It genuinely looks like a Ralts?
One by one, they vigorously rubbed their eyes, their faces plastered with absolute disbelief.
And what the actual fuck was up with this Ralts's coloration? It was completely pure white! No one had ever seen a Ralts like this before!
Even if it was a Shiny Ralts, wasn't it supposed to be blue?!
You have to understand, Quasi-Psychic Elite Xue Tong's signature Gardevoir was a Shiny. Netizens were incredibly familiar with it; absolutely everyone watched her matches.
Yet, even Elite Xue Tong's blue Gardevoir wasn't nearly as jaw-droppingly shocking as the one standing right in front of them.
They even began to doubt if this was genuinely a Ralts at all.
Could it be so entirely new sub-species?
But the most absolutely fatal detail was: why the fuck was this Ralts's Trainer a guy?!
Could a teenage boy actually win a Ralts's favor?
Are you telling that guy doesn't have any horny, degenerate desires to fuck?!
Impossible! Absolutely fucking impossible! There isn't a single teenage boy in existence who doesn't want to fuck! They completely refused to accept this!
I get it! This Ralts must be a male! It's definitely a fucking trap, right!!!
Why the hell do these insane jackpots always fall into soone else's lap?!
The entire male population in the stands was practically going insane, dying of absolute toxic envy. They desperately wanted to sprint down there and violently abduct that Ralts for themselves.
In an instant, a massive swarm of competitors flocked toward the spectator stands nearest to Field 3, acting as if they desperately wanted to identify the pure white Ralts's gender with their naked eyes.
This rabid, fanatical scene made the tournant staff sweat bullets. They were literally just complaining that out of all the matches in this venue so far—aside from that Pikachu's surprising performance—there was absolutely nothing worth bragging about. They were even starting to worry about lacking sufficient hype and traffic when the Group Stage arrived.
Who would have thought that the exact second the words left their mouths, the ultimate viral hotspot would drop right into their laps?
You had to realize, across the entire internet, aside from the appearance of a literal Legendary Pokémon, only Pseudo-Legendaries could even co close to matching the sheer, unbridled hype and lust surrounding a Ralts!
Not to ntion, this was a pure white Shiny Ralts! If this got leaked online, they couldn't even begin to fathom the astronomical levels of traffic it would generate~.
"Quick! Snap a few high-quality pictures and pin them to the official forum front page! Here cos our viral traffic!" The manager hurriedly ordered his subordinates, practically salivating as he pre-visualized the explosive engagent in the comnt section.
The sight of these teenage boys acting like rabid, sex-crazed animals genuinely terrified the girls who didn't share that bizarre degenerate obsession with Ralts.
Xue Yi and Anna Lee could only helplessly scramble away from this mob of 'lunatics', while staring down at the boy in the arena with faces full of utter disbelief.
So your Starter actually wasn't a fucking Gamble Fish?!
So when you casually said in the group chat that your Starter was a Ralts, you were telling the absolute truth?!
Who the hell could have ever predicted that!
If you had a Ralts, you should've whipped it out earlier! Do you seriously not even know how to flex?!
Xue Yi couldn't help but smile bitterly. Exactly how deeply entwined was her fate with Ralts?
Don't forget, Quasi-Psychic Elite Xue Tong was Xue Yi's older sister. When she was a kid, she spent plenty of ti playing with her sister's Ralts.
Therefore, Xue Yi knew perfectly well that a Pokémon like Ralts prioritized emotions above all else. If she detected even the slightest trace of negative, impure, or degenerate emotions, Ralts would absolutely refuse to appear before that target.
Yet Lorze, a teenage boy, was actually chosen by a Ralts. Could it be that he wasn't actually a manipulative fuckboy after all, but rather an entirely pure and genuinely good person?
