Chapter 108
Chapter 998: Zangoose vs. Seviper!
"Hmm, well..."
The other girl's rather eager questioning basically confirmed for Blue that she was a similar existence to herself.
There was no soul in her body, but she possessed a set of memories different from an ordinary person's.
*It seems this is another completely different method of transmigration, huh?*
Thinking of this, Blue composed herself slightly and replied:
"Later, that madman was arrested by The Officials. As for what happened next, I have no idea~"
She started to feign ignorance, passing the buck.
Seeing this, May made a move to pull out her Pokedex to search for related news.
She didn't know why she and Yuki had transmigrated. But if there were other cases now, this was something she had to study carefully.
"Don't bother looking, that incident has been completely sealed off where I'm from. There's not a trace of it online. I can only say, those who know, know. And for those who don't, it's hard to explain..."
Blue cut off May's search on the spot, even adding:
"The only ones who know about it are us locals... but if you go and ask, most people probably won't tell you. After all, the interests involved are too great. It's a very deep rabbit hole."
With those words, she completely blocked that path of inquiry.
Watching May immediately fall into deep thought, Blue just hummed a little tune and turned her gaze back to the television screen.
The feeling of having an information advantage over others was great!
"Heh, I have to say, this feeling...!"
For some reason, after tasting the same thrill of messing with people that her Big Sis Blue enjoyed, Blue felt herself showing faint signs of addiction...
On the screen, the second battle was that of the youth named Drew.
His Roselia unleashed several elegant moves in succession, and in less than a moment, it easily took down a Trainer whose face was indistinct, advancing smoothly into the semifinals.
Drew even held a thorny rose to his nose, sniffing it lightly. This pose instantly sent the spectators in the audience into a frenzy.
A Pokémon Contest was different from a Gym battle. The popularity among the masses was also an indicator of a Coordinator's level of strength.
"Tch, this kid is even more of a show-off than I am...!"
In the crowd, James couldn't help but grumble.
However, it seemed his strength wasn't simple either. He wondered how many rounds Jessie would be able to pass...
"Ooh, it's my turn~!"
Soon, the third battle was Blue versus an unknown Trainer B.
Blue once again sent out her cute Mawile, which she intended to raise as her ace in the Hoenn Region.
It was just that the Huge Power mentioned by the Pokedex had not appeared on her Mawile.
"A new ability after Mega Evolution?"
Even so, Mawile's appearance, which was a stark contrast to its personality, still possessed an extremely strong deceptive quality.
A combination of Fake Tears followed by Astonish broke her opponent's psychological defenses, and a final Play Rough easily ended the battle.
As a Fairy-type, Mawile could constantly display its Cuteness and charm during battle, giving it a massive advantage.
"Go, Blue!! Don't bring shame to Pallet Town!!"
From the stands, the already defeated Ash sat next to Brock, his opening line a classic guilt trip that put Blue on a high pedestal.
As for the final, fourth battle...
"It's Contestant May versus Contestant Jessie-vi!!"
The host, Vivian, announced with great enthusiasm. She hadn't expected an ordinary Pokémon Contest to gather so many demons and monsters... ahem, talented youths this time.
"Trivia for you all, Contestant May is also a Trainer who just set out on her journey this year. Let's look forward to her getting good results!"
"As for Contestant Jessie-vi, according to her, she is a Coordinator who has been an adult for many years, though we currently have no record of such a person..."
As the host finished her introduction, the two of them entered the stage, appearing on opposite sides of the arena.
"A little newbie trainer girl? Nothing special~!"
Jessie appeared incredibly confident.
"May? She really doesn't look like anything special."
In the lounge, Drew glanced once at the screen before looking away, clearly not taking the girl seriously either.
"..."
Yuki, who was in the same lounge, leaned back nonchalantly, resting his hands on the back of his head.
He had a feeling that this May was the person he knew...
If that was really the case, then her strength was only a hair less than his own, making her an absolutely terrifying woman.
But if it wasn't...
Soon, on the stage, the two women simultaneously threw their respective Poké Balls.
"Chabaa!!"
The one Jessie sent out was, naturally, her number one ace in the Hoenn Region, a high-level Seviper.
In front of May, however, was not her starter Pokémon Torchic, or its evolution, Combusken.
Instead, it was an upright, humanoid, beast-headed Pokémon. Its body was plump, and one could vaguely make out a cat-like head.
It had snow-white fur with blood-red, zigzag patterns, and its two drooping hands each bore two sharp claws.
Its ferocious expression made it seem quite irritable.
"What's that...!?"
Ash, now a mere spectator, was seeing this Pokémon for the first time and hurriedly took out his Pokedex.
"Dee-dee-dee. Zangoose, a Normal-type Pokémon. The memory of its battles with its rival, Seviper, is etched into its DNA. Its sharp claws are its most fearsome weapon."
The Pokedex gave its standard reminder.
"A rival? Interesting..."
A look of curiosity appeared on Ash's face.
On the battle arena, Seviper and Zangoose had also noticed each other at the first possible moment, their fierce auras instantly flaring.
The fur on Zangoose's back stood on end, looking absolutely vicious!
"Speaking of which, on these two Pokémon..."
Brock, however, noticed that both Zangoose and Seviper had lightning-shaped patterns on their bodies, like scars left behind after a bloody battle.
This battle between rivals instantly captured everyone's attention, the atmosphere heating up.
The battle began!
"Calm down first, Zangoose!"
As the five-minute countdown officially began, May was the first to restrain Zangoose's reckless impulse to charge forward and attack.
"Rarr!"
Although Zangoose's expression was irritable, it was surprisingly obedient to her command, merely readying its claws where it stood.
This Pokémon was a gift from her father—Norman, the Gym Leader of the Petalburg Gym. Its level was not low.
"Hey, calm down, Seviper!"
On the other side, Jessie was also trying to command her Seviper.
"Chabaa!!"
However, Seviper paid no attention to Jessie at all. The entire snake shot out rapidly, opening its massive mouth to bite Zangoose.
This was the mark of its rival from its memories, making it ignore everything else around it.
The contrast in the two Trainers' command was immediately apparent, causing Jessie to lose some points right from the start.
"Chabaa!!"
Seviper didn't care about any of that. At this moment, the only thing on its mind was to completely finish off the opponent before it.
Its body slithered close to the ground and then coiled, about to completely constrict Zangoose with Wrap.
However, May instructed calmly:
"Zangoose, use Swords Dance!"
Zangoose understood. Its plump figure began to spin on the spot at high speed, its sharp claws transforming into the dangerous blades of a spinning top, forcing Seviper to release its grip, not daring to tighten its hold at all.
She had skillfully blocked the move and even increased her Pokémon's attack. This caused Jessie's points to drop again.
