Taboo Pokémon Trainer: The Pure White Ralts and the MILF Harem [R18] Chapter 35 35: The Arrival of Xue Tong

The venue for the Group Stage was moved to a completely different location. It was now being held at the official municipal Battle Arena, a massive facility capable of hosting a large live audience.

Lorze never expected that simply by rotting in bed for two days, he would inexplicably advance straight into the Top 32.

This also ant that from this point forward, his Ralts would officially debut on the live broadcast platforms.

Inevitably, this would attract a massive wave of unwanted, greedy attention, but at the sa ti, it represented an unprecedented opportunity.

Whether or not he could catch the eye of so insanely wealthy Sugar Mommy to sponsor him completely depended on this exact mont.

Of course, even if absolutely no one took an interest in him, his Auntie Roxanne would undoubtedly continue to fund his journey.

But at the end of the day, Auntie Roxanne was just upper-middle-class. She was still miles away from being a genuine, ultra-wealthy tycoon. Plus, she had her own daughter to provide for. If possible, Lorze absolutely didn't want to beco a suffocating financial burden on his Auntie.

He could only pray that his handso, gigolo-tier face would successfully seduce a truly astronomically wealthy Sugar Mommy!

The day of the Group Stage arrived.

The tournant rules had undergone so changes. The Top 32 competitors were divided into 8 groups of 4. Every competitor had to fight a round-robin against the other three in their group, and the 2 with the highest points would advance to the Top 16.

Lorze was assigned to Group A, and unbelievably, his match was explicitly scheduled as the very first opening bout. It was blindingly obvious how desperately the tournant officials wanted to parade his pure white Ralts out imdiately to artificially inflate their viewer traffic.

It couldn't be helped. Over the past two days, the official forums had completely exploded. Thanks to the officials deliberately fanning the flas surrounding the pure white Ralts, more and more people beca aware of the Torchic Challenger Tournant. Astoundingly, the total number of people 'tracking' the tournant had skyrocketed into the tens of millions, with an endless mob aggressively demanding the live broadcast to start imdiately.

You have to realize, this was rely a Rookie Tournant! Historically, getting a few hundred thousand to a million viewers for this tier of competition was already considered a massive, resounding success.

Tens of millions of viewers... that was the kind of explosive traffic exclusively reserved for famous, mid-to-large scale professional tournants.

And this was solely the result of a few leaked photos of the pure white Ralts. Once she actually appeared moving in the live broadcast, the hype was going to detonate even further!

The officials had absolutely no reason not to strike while the iron was scorching hot. They blatantly changed the thumbnail of the entire livestream strictly to the image of the pure white Ralts and permanently pinned the stream to the front page. They were completely milking the hype train!

"Tsk, tsk. This hype is getting a little fucking absurd. Isn't it just a color swap? Are guys really this degenerate over a Ralts?"

At the company, Roxanne stared at the exponentially skyrocketing viewer count in the livestream, clicking her tongue in amazent.

As a woman herself, while she also found humanoid Pokémon like Ralts adorable, she absolutely could not comprehend the rabid, fanatical obsession of the male population.

It wasn't that she didn't understand the psychology of guys calling Gardevoir their "waifu." The problem was, this specific pure white Ralts already belonged to soone! She wasn't your waifu; she was little Lorze's waifu! What the fuck are you all going so crazy over?!

"It really did exceed all my expectations. I'm actually considering whether I should take this chance to open a dedicated Weibo account for little Lorze and start professionally managing his image," Lorze's mother said, completely surprised by the official hype machine. She knew opportunities like this were incredibly rare. If managed correctly, she could easily secure her son millions of devoted fans overnight.

That was a follower count capable of generating massive economic value. If managed perfectly in the future, growing it to tens of millions wasn't impossible, right?

After all, the tens of millions of viewers in this livestream right now were entirely here just to see the pure white Ralts.

"I think you should drop it. Little Lorze is the type who strictly buries his head in hard work and grinding. If you force him into all this toxic idol-fandom culture, it's only going to distract him and completely ruin his monstrous talent as a Trainer." Roxanne shook her head. Personally, she absolutely despised Weibo and idol culture.

"You make a good point. Let's just wait and see how things play out. If we can't secure any major sponsorships, I'm afraid we'll just have to keep leeching off your blood," Lorze's mother said, looking at Roxanne.

"Leech away as much as you want! Honestly, at this point, it's practically guaranteed that little Lorze is going to beco an absolute powerhouse. I'm no longer worried about not making my investnt back. Besides, your son is basically my son anyway! Why are you speaking to like we're strangers~?" Roxanne grinned cheekily.

Right now, she was desperately praying little Lorze would keep leeching off her. Even completely ignoring the terrifying talent he had already displayed, the re fact that he was the key to fulfilling her ultimate fantasy of getting into bed with her senior ant she absolutely had to keep him chained to her side forever~.

If you asked her, her senior should just stop renting that shitty apartnt and permanently move in with her. From now on, they could just be one big, happy, deeply intertwined family!

Looking at her junior playfully pressing her body against hers, Lorze's mother knew exactly what kind of dirty, taboo thoughts were swirling in her head.

However, over the past few days, the dynamic between the three of them had undeniably beco increasingly bizarre and degenerate. It wasn't even rare for little Lorze to wrap one arm around each of them simultaneously, aggressively groping and kissing them both at the sa ti.

Lorze's mother honestly had no idea what to do anymore. She felt like she should firmly reject it, but seeing how much little Lorze genuinely seed to enjoy and thrive in this highly taboo setup, she could only bite her tongue for now and prioritize keeping him fully satisfied.

"Alright, let's focus on the tournant for now. The very first match is little Lorze's. Let's see how he and Ralts perform." Lorze's mother completely ignored her incredibly clingy bestie—who blatantly abandoned her Azumarill in the training room just to co press her body against hers all day—feeling a massive headache coming on.

...

Shifting focus back to the arena, the atmosphere inside the official livestream had already been whipped into a frenzy by the arrival of a specific individual.

Of course, that individual was definitely not Lorze. Lorze didn't have that kind of clout yet; besides, he was currently still chilling in the competitor's lounge watching the stream himself.

What Lorze absolutely did not expect was that during the sponsor and guest introduction segnt, that woman would actually appear on screen!

That's right, THAT woman!

She had an iconic, cascading mane of fiery red hair, and standing loyally beside her was a tall, incredibly elegant, and coldly aloof Shiny Gardevoir.

As long as you paid even the slightest bit of attention to major official tournants, it was impossible not to instantly recognize her identity.

Wasn't this literally the current reigning superstar, the "Quasi-Psychic Elite," Xue Tong?!

Holy shit, did the tournant organizers really have that much fucking pull?!

A asly rookie tournant actually managed to invite Xue Tong as a special guest?! Even massive, premier-tier tournants struggled to book her!

Lorze also noticed that the livestream thumbnail had been temporarily updated. It now featured the pure white Ralts and Xue Tong, each taking up exactly half the screen. They were blatantly leeching off her colossal clout, causing the live chat to absolutely explode.

"HOLY FUCK! It's Goddess Xue Tong?!"

"Why the hell is Goddess Xue Tong acting as a guest judge for a rookie tournant?"

"Is she also here specifically for that pure white Ralts?"

"The pure white Ralts is just a novelty. I only care about how insanely badass and sexy my waifu Shiny Gardevoir looks!!!"

"Can you degenerate fucks chill for one second?! Is literally every single Pokémon your fucking waifu?!"

"In that case, I'll be taking Goddess Xue Tong ho with ~"

The density of the live chat instantly spiked to an absurdly exaggerated level, completely burying the video feed in a tidal wave of text. It was no exaggeration to say her sheer popularity instantly annihilated the hype surrounding the pure white Ralts.

After all, for the vast majority of people, whether the pure white Ralts was genuinely real or just a cheap CGI stunt for views was still highly debatable.

But Xue Tong's popularity was indisputably real. Not only was her combat power absolute god-tier, but her physical beauty was also overwhelmingly stunning. Coupled with the fact that her signature Gardevoir was always by her side, any livestream featuring her was guaranteed to rake in a massive fortune.

The live comntator imdiately seized the golden opportunity to interview Xue Tong, his posture incredibly deferential and cautious: "We warmly welco the arrival of Goddess Xue Tong! We never imagined a humble rookie event like ours could attract your esteed attention. I'm sure the audience watching from ho is just as completely shocked!"

"Actually, I just returned from exploring a Secret Realm. I unexpectedly received a very interesting photo from a junior of mine, and my curiosity simply got the better of , so I decided to drop by and take a look. Please, everyone, just ignore and focus entirely on the matches," Xue Tong's voice was just like her appearance—a mature, deeply magnetic, and incredibly seductive 'Onee-san' tone, dripping with unconcealable, absolute confidence.

This supre confidence stemd entirely from her flawless, undefeated track record since her debut. Even Master-class opponents couldn't survive more than a few exchanges against her. Rumors heavily suggested she already possessed true Elite Four-level strength; she simply hadn't formally challenged the Elite Four promotion matches yet.

"It seems Goddess Xue Tong is also here specifically to verify the rumors surrounding the pure white Ralts! Then let's not delay any further. Is this rumor actually genuine? The answer will now be revealed by our competitor! Comncing the Group A elimination match—competitors, please enter the arena!" The comntator was exceptionally skilled at hyping up the crowd.

Xue Tong's arrival had completely derailed the audience's attention away from the actual tournant, which completely defeated the purpose.

The comntator's swift pivot perfectly yanked the audience's focus violently back onto the pure white Ralts. The rumor that had been fiercely debated for days was finally about to be verified live.
