The Temptation of 10000 Alliance Coins

Chapter 32 The Temptation of 10000 Alliance Coins

"Sandslash lost its ability to fight, Nidoran won, so Yuichi won this match."

After confirming that Sandslash was unable to fight, the boy acting as referee announced the result.

The entire audience erupted in uproar.

At first, everyone thought that with Sandslash's fierce attack, it would surely win.

Who knew that Sandslash would be so fragile? Its last Ice Punch looked ordinary, but it still managed to take down Sandslash.

Most people would think that Sandslash is weak and easily defeated, unlike Nidoqueen, who survived so many attacks without much damage.

But a smart person would know that with the attribute advantage and the added benefit of hitting a vital point, Sandslash's continuous attacks had already depleted a lot of its stamina, so it was no wonder it couldn't withstand this attack.

If Nidoqueen's level were lower, Sandslash might have had a chance to continue the fight, but the fact is that Nidoqueen and Sandslash are almost the same level, so it's normal for an equal to be defeated like this.

"You lost, Ran. As agreed, transfer 3000 League Coins to me!" Yuichi stepped forward with his Nidoqueen, seemingly swaggering.

The girl called Xiaolan was clearly very unwilling, but since she had already lost, she could only take back her Pangolin and transfer the money to Yuichi.

If you lose a match, do you have to pay the other player a certain amount of League Coins?

Seeing this, Xia Mu looked somewhat taken aback.

Isn't this mode just like a battle in a game?

Because there was no such setting in the anime's plot, and it didn't involve money, Xia Mu hadn't thought about it in that direction since she transmigrated.

Reality has now shown him that battles between trainers are just that direct.

It's much more realistic than a game.

In the game, you cannot refuse to fight, and there will inevitably be rewards and punishments after winning or losing, unless you don't pass by this NPC.

A new idea began to form in Xia Mu's mind.

Since it's this kind of battle mode, it's much easier for him to gain experience points from these people's Pokémon.

"Who else wants to fight? The minimum wage is 500 Alliance Coins."

Just as Xia Mu was pondering, a voice rang out again.

Clearly, he was the one who organized this organization.

This also made it clearer to Xia Mu that the reason this group of trainers gathered here in the middle of the night was to make money.

A group of teenagers who are actually just as mature as adults.

[Although it's a bit like bullying a child, how could I miss out on such a good thing?] Xia Mu muttered to himself.

While the trainers were discussing amongst themselves, Xia Mu gathered his thoughts, obtained the consent of his Growlithe and Lucario, and then walked out of the crowd.

Because of Xia Mu's appearance, given his age and height, and the fact that he was accompanied by a Growlithe and a Pokémon that no one had ever seen before, everyone's attention was drawn to him, and some trainers even took out their Pokédexs to look up information.

Unfortunately, the Kanto region's Pokédex doesn't have information on Lucario, but two people's Pokédexs do contain Lucario's data and they've shared it.

The previously noisy atmosphere suddenly quieted down.

"Is this the first time I've met you? Are you also a trainer from our Round Island City?" Bald Ali asked.

Xia Mu smiled and nodded, without saying anything.

Bald Ali didn't press the matter further. As long as someone was willing to pay to challenge him, the game could continue.

"If it's your first time participating, you have to pay an entrance fee of 1000 Alliance Coins." Bald Ali didn't mince words and stated the terms.

Hearing this, Xia Mu naturally couldn't help but overthink.

Indeed, whether in this life or the past, attending any gathering always costs money; otherwise, who would let you participate?

"Okay." Xia Mu took out his phone without hesitation, added the other party as a friend, and then transferred 1000 Alliance Coins.

After obtaining Bald Ali's consent, he then said what he had prepared beforehand.

"10000 Alliance Coins per game, who wants to play with me?"

"If you win, you'll transfer the money to me on the spot. If you lose, it's fine too; I don't need you to pay me Alliance Coins."

Xia Mu spoke clearly, making it easy for everyone to understand what he was saying.

The entire venue erupted in cheers.

The temptation of 10000 Alliance Coins was too great for these teenagers.

Even if many of these kids can afford this amount of money and have some assets at home, 10000 Alliance Coins is still a considerable sum.

Take the match between Yuichi and Ran as an example; 3000 League Coins was already the maximum for a single game.

"You really dare to say that, 10000 Alliance Coins. Even I'm tempted to join in." Bald Ali's expression changed from calm to excited.

However, he is unlikely to actually participate unless no one accepts the challenge.

Soon, Yuichi, the trainer who had defeated Xiaolan earlier, stepped forward: "We didn't get enough of a duel just now. As a newcomer, although you're older than all of us, age doesn't equate to strength! You probably saw my battle with Xiaolan, so I'll battle you instead!"

Xia Mu maintained her smile, showing considerable anticipation for him; after all, he was indeed a skilled trainer.

"Sure! There's no limit to the number of Pokémon you can use. As long as you can defeat one of my Pokémon, you can take 10000 League Coins from me."

Xia Mu was really going all out to maximize her profits.

Taking on six opponents at once is insane, but this is a once-in-a-lifetime opportunity. At worst, we'll lose, which is just 10000 Alliance Coins.

Of course, Natsuki was somewhat confident in his own strength and the strength of his Pokémon.

"That's incredibly arrogant! Are they looking down on us?!"

"Brother Youyi, beat him up."

"It's best not to get taken down in a few moves, or you'll never be able to hold your head up high again."

……

Xia Mu's words did indeed cause quite a stir.

It was Bald Ali who spoke up and told everyone to keep quiet.

"Are you sure about this rule? Do you mean you have the strength of a gym leader?" Bald Ali asked.

Xia Mu replied with a smile, "I don't know if there is or not, but just because I'm older than you, I'll give you some benefits. Let me make this clear from the start: if I really take on six of you, then you really need to keep getting stronger."

These words clearly enraged many people, who were determined to make Xia Mu pay.

This is what Xia Mu wanted.

Seeing his arrogance, these people will definitely be unable to resist, especially those with strong abilities, they will definitely take action.

Xia Mu has no interest in dealing with low-level trainers.

Only high-level ones can bring huge experience rewards.

"I hope you can remain so calm in a moment, Nidoqueen. I'm begging you one more time!" Yuichi said coldly, sending out his Nidoqueen once again.

"After the battle just now, your Nidoran is injured and its stamina has dropped considerably. Are you sure you don't want to switch to another one?" Xia Mu asked.

Yuichi ignored Xia Mu's words and confidently said, "You'd better mind your own business."

"Since that's the case, then I won't take advantage of you. Growlithe, you go first." Xia Mu thought for a moment and sent out Growlithe to lead the charge.

Even if Nidoran is at low health, what does it matter if there's a type advantage? He can win by level, or even without level advantage.
