Chapter 348: Using battle to bring smiles to everyone
"Um. Can I join in, too?"

The young man's pleasant voice is particularly eye-catching in the quiet central square of Nianguang City.

Qishu grinned with his cute shark teeth, and looked towards the direction of the voice with a happy smile on his face: "Of course you can~ Qishu, I never refuse anyone in Pokémon battles."

Qi Shu's voice suddenly stopped. Although she was often troubled by her height, which was comparable to that of a dwarf giant, she often had to stand on tiptoe to see the person who was speaking in the crowd.

But this time there was something different.

It seemed that because her previous performance was too good, all the trainers who wanted to fight and collect badges were defeated by her.

Due to various reasons, no one among the onlookers wanted to fight against Qi Shu.

When they heard that someone wanted to fight Qishu, everyone felt relieved and turned their bodies sideways, ensuring that even Qishu, with his height, could clearly see the person who was speaking.

In the crowd, Luo Mu, who was dressed in casual clothes, was waving at Qi Shu with a smile.

"Eh?"

Although he felt that the voice was more or less familiar, when he actually saw the other person, Qi Shu was still so shocked that he made a brief sound as if he didn't want to accept the reality.

No, why would Mr. New Champion appear here?

Remembering the gap between himself and Luo Mu, Qi Shu suddenly broke out in a sweat.

What, I'm the new champion?
"this and that"

Seeing Luo Mu walking towards him with a smile on his face, as if he was planning something bad, Qi Shu's instinct, like that of a small animal, made him feel something was wrong.

Qi Shu was panicked for a moment, and her hands and feet were waving around wildly as if they were out of her control.

However, attracted by her lively live broadcast style, the group of fans who were eager to create chaos not only did not sympathize with Qi Shu who was obviously in a panic, but instead started to make a fuss.

What's more, some people even mentioned an incident not long ago when Qishu promised netizens that he would fight against Luo Mu in the largest department store in Nianguang City.

Qishu thought he had successfully gotten away with it before, but he didn't expect the Internet's memory to be so long.

She was already sweating profusely and was overwhelmed by the heavy pressure. She could only give up and said, "Wugugu Qishu accepts the challenge."

"However, since Qishu has accepted everyone's request, everyone must subscribe to Qishu's Qishu Qishu live broadcast channel!"

Qi Shu emphasized without forgetting his job at all.

After Qi Shu interacted with the live broadcast device held by her assistant, she looked at Luo Mu who was quietly waiting on the side and bared her teeth: "Why did Mr. New Champion think of going to Niangguang City to fight Qi Shu?"

Finding that the strange tree that placed him had finally focused its attention on him, Luo Mu pointed to the live broadcast equipment in the assistant's hand and said bluntly: "I saw your live broadcast. I was originally planning to go find Mr. Kosa or Ms. Afeng."

".Woo, can we do whatever we want just because we have Dragonite?"

Qishu pursed his lips and complained.

Seeing her pitiful appearance, Luo Mu found it a little funny and gave her a helpless reminder: "Just use the Pokémon you accepted the challenge with when you accepted the challenge."

As he spoke, Luo Mu's gaze rested on the Pikachu with a heart-shaped tail at the feet of the strange tree.

Although this Pikachu tree was well cultivated, it is still a little weak.

"You want to use your newly captured Pokémon to fight?"

Hearing this, Qishu's eyes rolled around, as if he was planning some bad idea.

In this case, although I am not actually that eager to win in the live broadcast, I pay more attention to the effect of the live broadcast and the audience's reaction than victory.

But that's only relative!

Since Mr. New Champion has brought the opportunity to him, how could Qi Shu, who is cute, smart and about to become a big internet celebrity, miss this chance?
Under the arrangement of Qi Shu, who suddenly became inexplicably enthusiastic, Luo Mu stood on the other side of the battlefield.

Luo Mu calmly glanced at the onlookers around him and the assistant hired by Qishu who was holding the live broadcast equipment, and raised his eyebrows.

Speaking of which, at a time when the Rotom mobile phone has not yet been developed, and even the Rotom Encyclopedia has not yet been invented by Hitron, Qishu really has to hire an assistant if he wants to conduct live broadcasts flexibly.

In the spirit of humility, Luo Mu took out the Poké Ball and released Hu Hu brother, and introduced: "This is the Pokémon I will be fighting this time."

As soon as Huhubaba appeared on the field, his red shell and cute appearance caused a heated response, and these residents who were born and raised in the Padia area discussed this Pokémon that they had never seen before.

Faced with so many people around him, little brother Hu Hu, who actually didn't like contact with humans and was only immune to Luo Mu, shrank his neck, looking a little timid, and was about to hide in his shell.

“Sizzle!”

At this moment, a cheering voice came from behind.

Brother Hu Hu looked behind him and found that Luo Mu had taken out another Poké Ball and released Sister Hu Hu, whose color was completely opposite to his own.

At this time, Sister Huhu waved the front tentacles, endured her own discomfort, and cheered for her brother with an excited look on her face.

Brother Hu Hu was stunned for a moment, and at the same time, he felt warm in his heart. He remembered Luo Mu's guidance to him, and he mustered up his courage and forced himself to fight against his instinct to hide in his shell.

Although Qishu didn't know Huhu at all, she couldn't help but notice that there were a small number of people from other regions among her live broadcast audience.

A netizen named "Xuecheng" gave a detailed introduction to Huhu.

Qi Shu, who was watching the live broadcast interface, breathed a sigh of relief.

Fortunately, Wanshi has this group of talented netizens, so she won't expose her shortcomings of being a poor student and insufficient knowledge reserves.

Qishu smiled with confidence and used his genius brain to extract the content.

Kettle, a fermentation Pokémon, is a bug and rock-type Pokémon. The only attribute moves that can cause effective attacks are rock, water, and steel-type. It resists normal and poison-type moves and has excellent dual resistance, but its attributes in other aspects are very touching!
In other words, although Electric-attribute Pokémon cannot restrain Huo Huo, they also don't have to worry about being restrained by Huo Huo!
Glancing curiously at the two pots, one of which was obviously of a different color, Qi Shu smiled brightly, "Mr. New Champion wants to play doubles with me?"

Luo Mu shook his head: "Just fight alone, Sister Hu Hu is not good at fighting."

Qishu nodded slightly to show that he understood, then he put Pikachu back into the Poké Ball and began his usual opening remarks towards the live broadcast.

"Everyone~! Are you all~ ready~?"

"Use the electric net to capture your eyes! Who will tell the story? The strange tree is here! Hello in the morning, afternoon and evening~!"

"This time, the challenger is actually Mr. New Champion, who has become famous recently and can even shoot down a flying lightning petrel!"

"The battle is about to begin~!"

At the signal of the assistant who was serving as the referee, Qi Shu also released his Pokémon to participate in the battle.

"Dominate the arena with lightning speed and 100,000 volts, Raichu~!"

The Poké Ball in Qishu's hand suddenly opened, and under the condensation of red light, a full-energy Raichu with dark orange fur, a yellow electric bag and an electric tail appeared on the battlefield.

This is the further evolved form of Pikachu, the fat orange-skinned rat Raichu!

Even in bright sunlight, Raichu acts like a biological light bulb, its body continuously emitting enough electricity to illuminate it.

"Hey~!"

Raichu's bat-like ears twitched slightly, indicating that it was in an especially high spirit at the moment.

“Sizzle!”

Hu Hu mustered up the courage to look into Raichu's eyes, not wanting to retreat even a bit.

"Say hello to the pot on the other side first, use 100,000 volts~!"

Under the command of Qi Shu, Raichu suddenly raised its tail, which was like a lightning rod, and the golden electric current on its body flashed violently several times!
Boom!

The sky was clearly clear, but at this moment there seemed to be a dull thunder.

The violent electric current danced like a long snake, blasting towards Huhu from all directions!

Faced with such a powerful attack, Hu Hu, who was already sensitive to sound, subconsciously used the defensive techniques he learned from Luo Mu.

With a slight humming sound in the air, a light green barrier rose up, protecting the pot inside with a 360° range.

The moment Hu Hu opened up and held the barrier, a roaring electric current fell on the barrier.

Amid the roaring thunder, the electric current continued to emit sharp sounds that were uncomfortable to the eardrums and continued to destroy the barrier.

The splashing electric current fell on the battlefield, leaving visible electric shock marks.

The sudden blinding light caused the spectators around to subconsciously avoid their sight.

When they opened their eyes again, they saw Huhu, who had withstood a 100,000-volt attack from a fully-charged Raichu but remained unscathed.

These spectators had no idea what absolute defense at the same level meant. They only knew that Hu Hu had actually withstood Raichu's massive attack, and they all cheered in surprise.

Seeing this, Luo Mu smiled even more and his eyes fell on Hu Hu who was looking around on the field.

If the occasion wasn't inappropriate, he would definitely ask -

How about it, this feeling is not bad, right?
"Sizzle."

Hu Hu was stunned when he realized that the cheers around him were all caused by him. Suddenly, some inexplicable emotion arose in his heart.

But before it could figure out what that emotion represented, Raichu's attack came again.

"A flash of lightning!"

Under Qi Shu's command, Raichu seemed to turn into lightning, dragging a dazzling white light. His figure rushed at such high speed that it almost left an afterimage, and rushed towards Hu Hu with great momentum!

This time Hu Hu did not panic, but instead cast a glance at Luo Mu behind him, as if waiting for his command.

Seeing this, Luo Mu raised his lips slightly and said, "The power will be equally divided."

"what?"

The poor student Qi Shu blinked his eyes, confused by this extremely unfamiliar move.

This also made Qi Shu miss his only chance to rely on Raichu's speed to avoid the equal division of power.

A faint red light suddenly appeared on Huhu's red shell, and the light turned into a light body like a transmission belt, instantly connecting with the Raichu that was rushing towards him.

Then, some mysterious energy flowed through the light body, continuously transporting it to Hu Hu. Almost instantly, Hu Hu felt that his whole body was filled with strength.

The Raichu that was crashing in from the other side suddenly felt as if he had been drained of something. His strength was suddenly greatly weakened, and even the movement of crashing into Huhu became weak and powerless.

With a loud "bang", Raichu crashed headfirst into Huhu's solid shell. Not only did he fail to knock Huhu away, but he also felt a pain in his head.

As we all know, the effects of forces are reciprocal.

Not to mention that Raichu's weakened strength hit Huhu's shell, which was naturally strong and even more resistant because of its sturdy nature.

"Hey, Qiu!"

Raichu held his head with a painful look on his face, and curled up in front of Huhu, who had become more confident. He felt that his head would probably swell up into a big bump in a while.

"What the hell!"

Qi Shu's face froze, and the poor student's gaze unconsciously drifted to the screen that was broadcasting the live broadcast barrage at the same time.

Soon, she found the explanation from the netizen named Xuecheng.

[Power Divide] is a Psychic-type transformation move that uses Psychic powers to combine your own strength with the opponent's strength and divide it equally between the Pokémon on both sides.

As mentioned before, Huhu has extremely weak dual attacks.

This also means that Raichu's power is purely weakened, while Hu Hu's power is purely strengthened.

"What a shameless move."

Because of Hu Hu's extremely weak physical attack and special attack, the channel that was supposed to be a two-way transmission was completely transformed into a move with no side effects that weakened Raichu's power and strengthened itself.

Qishu's delicate little face was completely replaced by a bitter color. She looked at Luo Mu with a condemning look, as if she had gotten to know Luo Mu all over again.

Luo Mu's expression did not change at all. He smiled and said, "It's extremely poisonous."

The Huhu opened its small mouth and sprayed out a thick purple venom, which landed on the head of the Raichu who was holding his head and screaming in pain.

The slightly swollen bump on Raichu's head was the first to come into contact with the venom. The moment the poison penetrated into it, Raichu let out an extremely tragic scream.

Its face suddenly glowed with a dark purple halo, as if it had fallen into a state of severe poison!

When pain reaches a certain level, it often turns into anger.

"Hey!"

With adrenaline surging, Raichu temporarily isolated himself from the pain. Lightning flashed on his short hands and immediately fell towards Huhu!
Thunder fist!
Even though his eyes were blinded by anger, this time Raichu still remembered to attack the weak body of Huhu other than the shell.

I have to say that Raichu's choice was very correct.

Huohu's own mobility is very low, and it is almost impossible for it to avoid the attacks of high-speed Pokémon like Raichu, so it can only choose to take it head-on.

"substitute!"

As Raichu's lightning fist was rapidly approaching Huhu's body, Luo Mu's next order arrived on time.

Finding that the situation was leaning in his favor, Hu Hu naturally responded positively to Luo Mu's instructions.

The moment Hu Hu felt his strength ebbing, a colorless energy left his body and transformed into a substitute that was the same size as Hu Hu and almost identical to him except for being all green.

Although the stand technique is particularly effective in games, it has many limitations when used in real life.

Although the Stand itself carries a faint "you must attack the target with taunting" energy, many Pokémon can suppress this feeling after training, and directly skip the Stand and attack the original body.

But this range does not include entering Raichu, which is now in an angry state.

"That's not right, Raichu!"

The moment he saw Huhu's [stand-in] appear in front of him, he subconsciously ignored Qishu's cry. This time, Raichu's angry brain didn't even think about it and directly punched Huhu's [stand-in]!
When blinding lightning exploded and Hu Hu's [Stand] turned into smoke and dissipated, Raichu realized that he had been tricked.

"Sticky web."

The next moment, Luo Mu's devilish voice sounded again.

Many white insect webs filled with extremely sticky liquid broke through the smoke and landed on Raichu's body, making its originally soft fur sticky and causing its movements to become awkward and slow.

After several consecutive blows, Raichu's emotions were finally forced to calm down.

At this time, its complexion was the same as the strange tree, just like the five-year-old potato-head kid who ate green peppers, with a bitter face.

Where on earth did Luo Mu and Hu Hu get these weird and strange moves that have never been heard of?

They were so frustrated after the fight. Didn’t we agree to use the fight to bring smiles to everyone’s faces?

"Guwuwu, you can actually force me, Qishu, to this extent. Should I say you are worthy of being called Mr. Champion?"

Qishu controlled his shark teeth to move slightly as if he was grinding his teeth, and suddenly took out a round crystal from his loose and fashionable clothes.

"At this point, Qi Shu can't lose miserably like this!"

The name of the round crystal is Taijingzhu. Although it has been discovered and produced for some time, it has not been developed and grown due to the high cost and scarcity of raw materials.

Until the two Pokémon doctors entered the area they named the "Great Zero Hollow".

The Taijingzhu in Qishu's hand now was the equipment distributed by Yeci and equipped by the gym masters in the Padia region!
Holding the sparkling Taijing Pearl, Qishu smiled cutely at the camera. Even the expressions of the two "Magnemites" of different colors that served as her headdress became unusually serious and solemn.

"Come out, little light bulb with an idea~! Let me show you the potential of my strange tree!!"

"Raichu, too crystallized!"

As Qi Shu threw the Taijing Pearl accurately onto the top of Leiqiu's head, the light of Taijing sprinkled down, and Leiqiu, which was illuminated, began to undergo drastic changes.

Raichu's entire body is coated with golden crystals, and the Taicrystal Crown on its head looks like a shining light bulb.

Just like the main attribute of Qishu's Brewing Light Gym, Raichu's Taijing attribute is electric!

With the help of Tai Crystalization, Raichu replenished some of the power he had lost before, and looked at Huhu ferociously, as if he was planning to take revenge.

Qi Shu had the same plan. He had to break through Hu Hu's shell before Raichu's strength was completely drained by the poison!
"One hundred thousand volts!"

Boom——!
Raichu let out a silent roar, and the rumbling sound of thunder completely covered its cry. The blinding thunder poured out from Raichu's electric bag and turned into a roaring thunder dragon that tore through the air and blasted towards Huhu!
With the enhancement of Taijing's energy, the 100,000 volts this time are already comparable to the power and momentum of thunder.

Luo Mu was not arrogant and said in a deep voice: "Hold on!"

The light green barrier was once again opened by Hu Hu, but this time, the move could not perfectly defend against Raichu's 100,000 volts.

Under the bombardment of the thunder dragon, defending the barrier is like a small boat on the sea in a storm, constantly shaking and will break if you are not careful.

Fortunately, the barrier was held and finally survived 100,000 volts.

Without waiting for Huhu to rest, the moment the lightning dissipated, Raichu took the opportunity, his whole body covered with violent golden lightning, and rushed towards Huhu at high speed!

"Oh!"

As Crazy Volt hit the pot, a dull thud was heard amidst the flash of lightning.

Huhu was actually knocked directly into the air by Raichu!
There were some burn marks on the shell, and although Huhu felt pain, a desire for victory was ignited in his heart.

“Sizzle!”

Huhu opened its small mouth, and the emerald green insect energy gathered into sharp insect teeth. Using the force of the fall, it bit straight towards Raichu!
"Hey!"

Enduring the feeling of powerlessness brought by the poison constantly eroding his body, Raichu clenched his right fist and threw a lightning uppercut, which collided violently with Huhu's insect bite.

Huhu was knocked away by Raichu again, and Raichu seemed to have regained the advantage in strength.

But it was also feeling uncomfortable. Raichu looked at the wound on its right hand left by the insect bite. Under the command of Qishu, its tail suddenly emitted a metallic luster.

"Iron Tail!"

Luo Mu knew that this was a steel-attribute move that was particularly effective against Hu Hu. He also knew that when the power gap was too large or equal, the Du could only play a supporting and consumption role. He immediately said calmly, "Sharp Stone Attack!"

It landed on the ground with a clang. Thanks to its shell, it was immune to most of the damage and only suffered minor concussion damage. It stretched out its tentacles, and rock energy quickly gathered underground, instantly turning into many sharp rock pillars that rushed towards Raichu.

With the help of the physical attack that Hu Hu got for free by using the power split, this sharp stone attack was very powerful, forcing Raichu to continuously swing its tail against the rock pillar.

Taking this opportunity, Luo Mu narrowed his eyes and said, "Power of the Earth!"

As the ochre-colored energy moved forward along the ground, countless cracks appeared on the earth, and the ground energy gathered like a volcanic eruption and erupted under the feet of Raichu!

boom!
Bathed in the powerful power of the earth, Raichu's already scarce physical strength was even more shaky like a candle in the wind.

Even so, Raichu still gritted its teeth, stepped alternately on the rocks it had destroyed, and came in front of Huhu like lightning!
Qi Shu showed a hopeful expression, as if he had discovered a chance to defeat Luo Mu, and he couldn't help but shout excitedly: "Thunder!"

Electricity was gushing out of Raichu's electrical bag like crazy, and it stared at Huhu, obviously intending to decide the outcome with a close-range thunder attack.

Knowing that the Stand could not hide from the now highly focused Raichu, Huhu was ready to hold up the barrier and withstand the attack.

But at this moment, Luo Mu suddenly said, "It's almost time."

"Eh?"

Qi Shu was startled.

next second.

A crisp sound like breaking glass suddenly rang out, and the body of Raichu, which seemed to have turned into a dazzling collection of thunderstorms, shook. The electric current around it seemed as if no one was supporting it, and it immediately turned into light fragments that dissipated in the sky.

At this moment, even the broken crystal light particles could not cover up the purple halo on Raichu's body that was so rich that it almost bubbled.

Raichu's body shook two or three times, and finally fell weakly in front of Hu Hu.

The poison took effect, completely depriving Raichu of his last bit of strength and will.

This also means that Hu Hu won this battle.
