: Starting with an instant kill, a sweeping victory.

Chapter 122 Starting with an instant kill, sweeping all the way through.

That evening, after talking with her parents for a long time, Xia Mu returned to her room alone.

With his family around, it wouldn't be appropriate for him and Sonia to share a room and sleep together again.

His mother's advice to him was that he and Sonia were not yet married. Although the world has developed to the point where men and women can freely choose their partners, there are still some rules that must be followed.

To put it simply, this is about respecting elders.

Especially since Sonia's grandmother, Mulan, is also here, if Xia Mu were to take Sonia away before they are even married, it would seem rather presumptuous of him.

Although Xia Mu has gained Mu Lan's approval, they should maintain their distance since they haven't held a wedding ceremony.

In short, if they weren't here, they wouldn't be able to see or care about what Xia Mu and Sonia were doing.

However, we must restrain ourselves for a while and absolutely must not do anything excessive or out of line.

Inside the room, with Sonia not by his side, Xia Mu suddenly felt a little uncomfortable.

But it's good that he has some time to do things, and he also needs to properly train the Pokémon he has.

He doesn't plan to use the same Pokémon in this Indigo League, so he needs to strengthen all the Pokémon he owns again.

As for money, we have nearly 3 million yuan in funds on hand, which is more than enough.

While improving his Pokémon's strength, Natsuki received calls from Jessie, James, and Meowth, and they arranged a meeting place.

They had also arrived at the Quartz Plateau long ago to make preparations.

Firstly, it was to cheer on Natsuki; secondly, the shops in Quartz Plateau had been purchased and renovated half a month ago, and now the shops are open for business.

A few days ago, Xia Mu took Sonia to see it, and they were generally satisfied.

Next, we just need to wait for him to become famous in one battle, and then Jessie, Kojiro, Meowth and the others will promote it extensively. At that time, Energy Cubes will definitely become a hot commodity, and countless trainers will rush to buy them.

Who would refuse to use the same food for raising Pokémon as the champion?

In terms of marketing tactics, Musashi Kojiro and Meowth are unmatched.

This is evident in the original work, showing just how extraordinary their abilities are.

During each league tournament, they would appear as merchants and make a fortune.

Inside the shop's office, Natsuki nodded in satisfaction after listening to Musashi and Kojiro's work reports.

"Actually, you don't need to be so nervous about me. Just treat me like a friend. From the beginning, I've never treated you as subordinates, otherwise, I wouldn't have entrusted you with all the responsibilities," Xia Mu said to them.

Upon hearing this, the two people and the cat all showed somewhat troubled expressions.

"Of course we know that, but there still has to be a hierarchy. You are the real boss, and we must also show a certain attitude, otherwise we will overstep our bounds. Without rules, there can be no order," Kojiro said first.

No wonder he comes from a wealthy family; his language skills are exceptional.

Natsuki could tell from Kojiro's behavior that he was actually a very confident person, but his past experiences and his time as a member of Team Rocket had gradually made him lose faith in himself.

Now, he has found a sense of purpose in handling things in an orderly manner.

"Kojiro is right, you are the boss. If we don't even realize that, then you won't feel comfortable entrusting power to us anymore," Musashi said seriously. Because of her new hairstyle, she looked more mature.

"Meow Meow also wishes to continue being treated like this, but I also think that you, boss, need to have some authority of your own in the future, meow." Meow Meow's words made Xia Mu open his mouth.

If what they say is true, then they are right.

Xia Mu unconsciously had a feeling that they were going to mold him into a top-level boss.

Having gained the absolute loyalty of the two people and the cat, Xia Mu was very happy.

"On the surface, things should be done the way they should be; in private, there's no need for such rules." Xia Mu agreed with their words but insisted on his own way of doing things.

Winning people's hearts is not something that can be done once; it requires time to see the true character of people.

Natsuki's words moved Musashi, Kojiro, and Meow Meow even more.

"Speaking of which, didn't Madonna come along? I heard you two were inseparable on Round Island," Xia Mu teased curiously.

I remember a few days ago, after Madonna teleported back and handed herself over to Meow Meow, a whole emotional drama unfolded.

Although Xia Mu did not see it with his own eyes, he heard about it from them.

"What's a girl doing out here? She'll only affect work efficiency! I'll keep her in Yuandao City to avoid causing trouble, meow." Meow tightened her suit, looking every bit the boss in a suit.

As expected of a meow.

Xia Mu would give him a thumbs up.

When Musashi and Kojiro saw Meow Meow start to show off, they were speechless for a moment and put their hands on their foreheads.

Afterwards, Xia Mu chatted with them about the next arrangements before returning to the hotel to rest.

It was already late, and he couldn't continue wandering around outside.

Back at the hotel, Xia Mu received a message from Sonia. After exchanging a few playful words with her, they said goodnight to each other.

……

In the blink of an eye.

The next morning.

Fireworks lit up the sky above the arena as the Quartz Convention was about to begin.

Although they couldn't be seen during the day, the deafening explosions were a clear signal to everyone on the Quartz Plateau that the annual Quartz Congress was about to begin.

All the spectators went into the stands first to wait for the next Pokémon battle, while the trainers prepared in the waiting area of ​​the arena.

Xia Mu should have been here too, but at the request of the Alliance officials, and also at the request of Chairman Damaranchi and Commander-in-Chief Yantie, Xia Mu was to appear last and then use his Moltres to light the cauldron of this year's Indigo League.

Xia Mu knew that the two old men were building up his reputation so that more people would know about him and he could accumulate fame more quickly.

Everything Xia Bo did on Crimson Lotus Island was to make Xia Mu's reputation even more renowned.

However, Blaine's abilities were limited, and he had already done very well to reach that level.

Now we're leveraging the League Conference to help.

At 8:30 a.m., the contestants entered the venue one after another under the guidance of the commentators. In order to ensure that the torch was lit at 9:00 a.m., the entry time and the speeches of the officials were controlled at the optimal time.

Xia Mu actually felt a sense of social death.

After all, being watched by so many people would definitely make you feel uncomfortable.

But since things had come to this point, he had no other choice.

I can only muster up my courage. Anyway, no one knows me. As long as I try my best not to do anything wrong or embarrassing, everything will be fine.

At the guide's call, Xia Mu walked out of the special passage.

As he appeared, the entire arena fell silent, and all eyes were focused on him until Xia Mu arrived at the center of the arena.

"Go, Moltres." He tossed the Ultra Ball into the sky.

"Gah—Aww!!!"

The next second, a loud cry resounded throughout the sky.

Moltres, like a towering flame, bursts forth in the sky above the arena, sacred and inviolable.

Numerous media outlets turned their cameras to film, and the commentator's enthusiastic shouts ignited the passion of the entire audience. Countless people excitedly stood up and took out their phones to record this unprecedented moment.

All the trainers looked up at that godlike figure, and at the same time, they found Xia Mu's existence even more incredible.

Legendary Pokémon Trainer.

The flames of the flamingo seemed to come alive, flying towards the sacred cauldron under its control.

Until the sacred cauldron was completely lit, the firebird flew into it, and the blazing sacred flames brought awe to everyone.

After finishing this operation, Xia Mu breathed a sigh of relief; at least nothing went wrong.

For the time being, Moltres will not need to return to its Poké Ball. Natsuki has also discussed with Chairman Damaranchi and Yantie that Moltres should stay at the Sacred Fire Platform until the end of the competition.

……

The opening ceremony has now concluded, and the competition will begin today.

Because the number of participants is the largest ever, it will take four to five hours to complete the first round of preliminary selection.

If the selection of the third round of preliminary contestants can be successfully completed in one day, that would be considered a good result.

In fact, it was precisely because this Quartz Conference was held in a very rushed manner that the Silver Conference in Chengdu was later held in a very well-organized manner.

It learned from the shortcomings of the Indigo League, especially the protagonist Ash's entry into the top eight, which was hailed as the most exciting tournament.

Ash officially defeated Gary at the Silver Conference, although he lost to Ye Yue, the fight was fierce.

Unlike later tournaments, even though Ash achieved a higher ranking, he no longer had the same passion as before.

Sinnoh could have won the championship, but then a cheater named Darko appeared.

Greninja was clearly destined to win that battle, but it ended in defeat again...

Upon arriving at the waiting area, Natsuki became everyone's target because he was also a trainer participating in the competition.

Of course, Xia Mu wouldn't care.

During this time, several trainers he knew came over to greet Natsuki.

When he was in charge of the Cinnabar Gym, he faced many challenges from trainers, many of whom participated in this year's Indigo League.

Shigeru and Ash also came over and chatted with Natsuki for a while before stepping onto the battle stage when it was their turn to compete.

Without a doubt, both kids successfully advanced.

In the original story, they all successfully qualified during the first day of the preliminary selection.

Until it was Xia Mu's turn to compete.

The battlefield was rocky, and his opponent was a girl who looked about eleven or twelve years old. He didn't quite catch her name, so Xia Mu ignored it.

The preliminary rounds were played in a three-on-three format. In fact, even if the opponent used six units while he only used one, he could still easily defeat the team.

For example, this girl's three Pokémon: Venusaur, Onix, and Golduck.

In terms of Pokémon rankings, they are quite good, very strong, and all around level 40.

But when facing Xia Mu, she had no choice but to retreat.

Xia Mu used the Nine-Tails. He originally planned to fight three against three, but there was no need to waste time, so he simply fought one against three.

A few days ago, Nine-Tails explored the wilderness with Natsuki and Sonia, so Natsuki had already raised its level to 70, and also adjusted its Individual Values ​​and Effort Values.

It can be said that the level is overwhelming, and even if the attributes are countered, it doesn't matter.

After defeating the girl, Natsuki learned that she was also a trainer from Pallet Town.

He went on a trip around the same time as Ash and Gary.

It's quite an achievement to have accomplished this.

The girl was heartbroken by her crushing defeat, but she wasn't discouraged; instead, she looked forward to her revival match.

That's right. After losing the first round of the preliminary round, there is a revival round where the losing players will compete against each other, and the winner will advance to the second round of the preliminary round.

After the first performance ended, Xia Mu left the backstage waiting area.

There's no need to waste all your time here; you can come back when the second round of the preliminaries starts in the afternoon.

As for watching the game, Xia Mu wasn't really interested, but apart from going to the audience to watch the show with Sonia, there wasn't much else to do.

He had already glanced at all the contestants, and there weren't any powerful characters who had appeared in the original work.

In his previous life, Xia Mu had actually read quite a few Pokémon novels, which greatly modified and enhanced the Indigo League, making all sorts of overpowered Pokémon that would only appear later in the series.

It's actually not that outrageous.

There are indeed powerful trainers, but even the most powerful ones are at most at the level of Little Sweet, Sora, and Seaman.

Xia Mu stayed by Sonia's side, chatting and laughing with her.

This section of the stands is not only in the front, but dozens of seats were reserved by the Xia family.

Because Xia Mu came here, some of his peers from the Xia family greeted him, especially the women, who flattered and fawned over him, making it seem as if they were offering themselves up.

Xia Mudu felt that if he wanted to, he could take them directly to the hotel.

Arranged marriages between families are truly the most terrifying thing.

These women are all rich heiresses, seemingly unapproachable, but in reality, they are just pawns in the hands of those in power.

Xia Mu also learned about the situation from her parents last night.

The Xia family is very large. The Kanto region is indeed the place of origin, but it is only a part of it.

Blaine is one of the three rulers, but his jurisdiction is limited to the Kanto region and does not extend to Hoenn or Sinnoh.

Other regions belong to different bloodlines. These outstanding young women from these families are also the children of the directors who manage the Xia family's various industries. They are all used as tools to actively approach Xia Mu.

You don't need to be the legal wife, but once you have a relationship, things are different.

Xia Mu knew that his parents were in a difficult position. Although they seemed to control the Xia family's businesses in the entire Kanto region, they actually had limited real power. Many things required voting and decision-making. If it weren't for Xia Bo's support and Yan Tie's secret coordination, they probably would have lost all real power long ago.

So, the current situation is that his parents also hope he can make his business bigger and stronger, Yan Tie is betting everything on him, and so is Uncle Xia...

Requesting recommendation votes and monthly votes.
