Chapter 50
: Trainer Touko, the Legendary Speedrunner in 5 Years!
"Younggiras, use your Stomp attack on me!"
The boy's resolute voice echoed through the phone screen, resonating in Mingyi's ears and stirring her heart.
"This is absolutely amazing!"
After watching the entire video, she felt that Xia Ming was extremely skilled at combat.
Although it's unclear why this despicable guy would create a separate channel called "Little Farmer Looking for Mom" to post videos of him fighting in the wild, it doesn't matter anymore.
Two days have passed since that battle, and Xia Ming has taken the opportunity to edit videos and start his video-driven traffic generation career.
As for why Mingyi was able to pinpoint his new account so quickly, the reason is simple: before Xia Ming uploaded this video, clips of his battle had already gone viral online.
Xia Ming also seized the opportunity precisely, driving traffic to his battle channel in the comments section of his latest episode of "Farmer Boy".
Mingyi, who was already stalking Xia Ming relentlessly on the Farmer Boys channel without missing a single episode, naturally saw it immediately.
So she searched for the account that had only posted one video and started watching it.
At first, she wasn't very interested. As a battle fanatic, she neither enjoyed surfing the internet like her childhood friend nor had a strong reading addiction like her childhood sweetheart.
So when she saw the beginning of the video showing Xia Ming setting up traps at the evacuation point, she was already too embarrassed to watch anymore.
This brought back painful memories for her, when Xia Ming took away the money that was rightfully hers!
Naturally, she simply flipped the mysterious little switch and skipped through her life.
So she happened to jump into the scene where Xia Ming was fighting two opponents at once, and this bold challenge immediately triggered her fighting DNA.
In order not to miss any details, she immediately rewound to the very beginning of the video and watched it patiently.
From the moment Xia Ming set up the trap until the next morning, several disheveled figures slipped past his nose one after another.
He was like an extremely patient hunter, crouching in his position, waiting for the most valuable prey.
So, as six figures passed by in succession, the real prey soon appeared.
A fight ensued naturally. Xia Ming began to exploit the psychological impact of the unexpected situation the two women were facing, guiding them to make the wrong choices and using the most intense attacks to force them to respond with all their might.
The high walls forced the girls to face the battle head-on and made them the best choices in the fight.
Send your Pokémon close to the enemy trainer to carry out a decapitation strike!
Yes, they succeeded. The two Pokémon cornered Xia Ming, who could only use one Pokémon at most. It was impossible for him to emerge unscathed from the combined encirclement of the two Pokémon.
However, success does not mean victory. The two who felt they had been successfully brought close by the negative electric shock relaxed their guard without any surprise.
No one expected that Xia Ming, who was only sixteen years old and had probably just graduated a few days ago, would be able to endure the excruciating pain of a broken hand bone and issue commands.
The Aluminum Steel Dragon, which had been lying in wait for a long time, rushed out and executed a base-trading tactic to decapitate the opposing trainer!
But that wasn't all. Xia Ming made a move that even Ming Yi wouldn't have dared to imagine. In order to ensure a complete victory, he chose to risk his life and completed a counter-attack with Young Gilas, turning offense into defense!
They worked together seamlessly, every movement was purposeful, and the disoriented, negatively charged patter, along with Xia Ming's last remaining arm, lost all fighting ability.
Thus, with no conditions left that could threaten Xia Ming's life to achieve a reconciliation and a draw, victory was a foregone conclusion.
"This is too intense!"
In Mingyi's understanding, a battle requires going all out! Xia Ming's actions exemplify this: going all out and leaving no room for retreat to achieve victory!
He was gambling that Negative Charge and Purple Taro weren't coordinated enough and would panic and lose their composure. He was gambling that he could survive Larvitar's attack while simultaneously rendering Negative Charge unable to fight!
Although his ambushing manner was particularly despicable and despicable in Mingyi's eyes.
But his fighting spirit inspired Mingyi's respect.
Especially the exchange of glances between Xia Ming and Young Gilas at the end; their mutual trust was unwavering.
This is the kind of battle Mingyi wants!
With their whole hearts and minds, Pokémon and their trainers work in perfect harmony!
"Fuji~"
Even Mingyi, who was holding Tengseng Snake in her arms, had to admit that this creature, which she countered four times over, would be a very troublesome opponent.
Perhaps her path to revenge will be fraught with difficulties.
"You're excited too, aren't you, Snivy? Battles are only truly fun against trainers like this!"
After watching the entire battle, Naruto ignored the ending credits and immediately picked up Snivy to begin training:
"Let's use Snivy! Let's go for special training and try to get the beginner badge for the Hinoki Fan Gym this week!"
"Looks like she's really going all out, Mingyi. Black Lotus, you can't go easy on her later."
"Hey, it's Touko-nee!"
Mingyi turned around and saw a capable girl smiling and watching her from the doorway, along with a man in a white suit who looked somewhat troubled beside her.
The man in the suit is now the Gym Leader of one of the eight major gyms in the city center of the Hinoki region.
As for the other girl named Touko?
She has quite a background.
A legend of the United Alliance, a fighter on the five-year speedrun championship path, the Awakener of Diancie, the hero who ascended the Spiral Tower, the holder of the Victini Victory Emblem, one of the wandering souls in the Origin Operation...
All of this makes it hard to imagine that she is just a young trainer who started her travel career without much formal education, and whose travel time is only five years, and who has just turned eighteen.
As for how she met Mingyi, it was quite a coincidence. She originally only planned to visit her old comrade-in-arms, Heilian, in Hinoki City, but unexpectedly discovered Mingyi, a junior with extraordinary potential.
Not everyone can almost win the beginner gym badge with a level 7 or 8 Snivy.
Touko saw a reflection of her past self in Naruto, and so they naturally became friends.
After all, they are only two years apart in age.
"I wouldn't be as irresponsible as you... Never mind, let's not talk about that now, Miss Mingyi. I came to see you today because I have something I want to discuss with you."
Hei Lian glanced at Touko, who was always full of energy, with a headache, then took out a paper contract and walked towards Mingyi's side.
Discovering and guiding geniuses is also something that dojo owners should do.
"This is?"
"A contract. I contacted the Alliance and Super Dimension Devon Corporation after your last challenge. This contract should relieve a lot of your training pressure."
"I don't understand."
"It's alright, let me explain it to you in detail..."
