Selling Pokémon from Pirates

Chapter 184 Confident People×Dover’s Discovery

"Hey, hey? Did I read that right just now? His Majesty Kobra actually...lost!?"

Seeing Suicune and Kobra suddenly admitting defeat and going off to receive treatment, the audience at the scene suddenly burst into uproar.

"One of the majestic Four Heavenly Kings was defeated like this? There won't be any shady secrets in this game, right?"

Some Kobra supporters questioned, but they were immediately drowned out by other people's voices:

"What's the secret? Didn't you see that Kobra's face turned purple and black? As a trainer with no power of his own, Kobra is not worthy of being called one of the Four Heavenly Kings."

"You're right! He was knocked down by Lauren in just a few blows. With such a record, he can't be considered one of the Four Heavenly Kings!"

A recruit instructor at the naval base pushed up his glasses and explained to the people around him:

"You can't say that. That Lauren was obviously well prepared. He first resisted a blow and took the opportunity to sneak attack Kobra. Then when he couldn't move, he attacked him again, restrained Suicune, and finally released him.

The poisonous gas attacks that cannot be avoided are just one after another. What a wonderful tactic!"

"…………"

"…………"

During the short break, a heated argument broke out among the audience about the battle just now.

Soon, Watson discovered the blind spot:

"Didn't you notice just now? That Lauren's body seemed to suddenly release a large amount of poisonous gas. After the poisonous gas was mixed with the poisonous mist released by Nidoking, it seemed to be at his mercy, attacking Suicune and Kobra.

Hit and jumped over!?"

"Is it impossible? Is this Lauren actually an ability user? But I have never seen him use this ability in previous battles?" A spectator who had watched Lauren fight in the battle area immediately retorted.

The voices in the audience were immediately guided by this question and started discussing it again.

"…………"

"…………"

Listening to the noisy discussion of the audience around him, Doflamingo had a look of deep doubt on his face with his arms folded across his chest.

"The ability to release poisonous gas?"

He murmured softly.

Others may not know it clearly, but Doflamingo, who has a powerful underground intelligence network, knows that the poisonous fruit that can make people release poisonous gas has long been known to its owner.

That person is now guarding the most eerie underwater prison in the world, and there is absolutely no chance of him dying and losing his fruit power!

But Doflamingo, who has read the Devil Fruit illustrated book, knows very well that so far, there is only one Devil Fruit that can release poisonous substances.

unless……

Thinking of Lauren's sudden abnormal behavior and the changes in her state before and after the behavior, a sharp light suddenly flashed under Doflamingo's red sunglasses.

"Fuff, fu, fu..."

"It seems that my trip to the East China Sea was not in vain."

He suddenly laughed deeply, put his hands together on his chest, and stared at the top of the ring.

At this time, he was already looking forward to what interesting things would happen in this arena next.

…

…

"Hey Hey……"

After releasing the bond and evolving, Lauren put Nidoking into the Poké Ball with a silly smile.

"Geely geely?"

The auspicious egg who had been waiting for a long time began to urge him for the second time. Only then did Lauren come back to her senses and put the elf ball into the auspicious egg's tray with a silly smile.

As a formal competition with official endorsement, a professional team will be responsible for the injuries of trainers and Pokémon after each battle.

Whether it's Kobra who's been poisoned or Nidoking who's been hit hard by Suicune, they can all receive efficient and fast treatment, and they can be alive and kicking in less than an hour.

After sending Nidoqueen off, Lauren walked alone in the player aisle.

To be honest, even he didn't expect that he could win the first battle so smoothly.

And the opponent's Pokémon is still the Pokémon that possesses the mythical beast that makes trainers look forward to seeing it - Suicune!

However, after the brief excitement, Lauren quickly calmed down.

After all, he was unable to win this battle.

The main reason is that the other party did not participate in the special training at the Tenjin Gym and did not know about the Pokémon Bond Evolution.

But after this battle, Kobra will definitely figure out what is going on. When the main game comes, he will also embrace the evolution of bonds.

By that time, one can imagine the strength of a trainer who has evolved through the bond with the divine beast Suicune.

"Forget it, it's enough to be successful just once!"

Lauren grinned.

As a king of a country, a king who has been squeezed by world government officials, a king of a country who serves his country and his people, Lauren sees the reality of the future very clearly.

Although participating in the Pokémon League Tournament was a willful act on his part.

But Lauren is not really as willful as others think.

As the king of the Coast Kingdom, he knows better than anyone else what he needs most!

Although the establishment of Bada Butterfly Park has improved the country's economic conditions.

But for hundreds of years, the Kingdom of Coast, which has been working hard for heavenly gold, has now become a slave country under the World Government.

The entire country, from top to bottom, whether it is the ministers, nobles, or the people at the bottom, has already recognized its identity as a World Government member country, as if it is engraved in their bones.

If he puts forward the idea of ​​withdrawing from the World Government membership at this time, it will make the people of the country jump out of their original comfort zone, and they will definitely encounter a lot of obstruction in Coast.

so……

He will come to the Pokémon League Tournament.

It's not about achieving great results.

But it is to allow the people of the Kingdom of Coast to realize the power of Pokémon and see the miraculous power brought by Pokémon!

You know, after more than a year of incubation, the Coast Kingdom now has nearly 20,000 Pokémon!!!

Although most of them are just green caterpillars with little fighting power, they are enough to amaze the world.

As far as he knew, Lin Luo had never traded such a large number of Pokémon in a second country.

He must make the people aware...

Their Kingdom of Coast is a unique country in the world!

It is a country that can occupy a place in the world without succumbing to any force!

Even if this is not true, Lauren will use practical actions to make it true!

As long as the people at the bottom of the country stand up from the bottom of their hearts, their country will become strong and have the ability to break away from the control of the world government!

And King Kobra from the Kingdom of Alabasta happened to be in the right place at the right time, and was hit by Lauren correctly!

Although saying this may feel a little sorry for Kobra, who is receiving treatment in the infirmary, Lauren still wants to say to him:

"What a defeat! Your Majesty the King!!!"

…

…

At the same time, within the Kingdom of Coast.

As a famous tourist country in the East China Sea, in every city in Coast, a huge screen has been set up by the major media in the East China Sea for citizens to watch this Pokémon League Conference.

Just as Lauren thought...

After he defeated Kobra, the entire Coast Kingdom seemed to have pressed the mute button and fell into a brief silence.

But immediately, a huge cheer, as if it was about to overthrow the sky, suddenly spread from all over the country.

The whole country was instantly excited. Looking at Lauren's back on the screen, they couldn't help but exclaimed:

"Oh my God! I didn't expect that our King would be so powerful!?"

"Did anyone see the poisonous gas on Your Majesty Lauren's body just now? Did Your Majesty eat some Devil Fruit?"

"Wait a minute! The man opposite is the king from the Kingdom of Alabasta, right?"

"That's right! Didn't you say everything about the introduction before the battle? What's wrong?"

"What else is going on? Don't you know that the Neferutari clan, the royal family of Alabasta, was one of the twenty royal families that founded the World Government eight hundred years ago!? A group of illiterate people!!!"

"What, how is it possible!!?"

"The old king's background is so big!?"

"Oh my god! Did our Majesty Lauren defeat such a powerful guy? It's amazing!"

"…………"

"…………"

With a lot of discussion among the people, the fact that Lauren defeated the royal family who founded the world government immediately aroused heated discussion among the people.

Although, the citizens will not change their centuries-old stereotypes just because of a battle.

But a country's self-confidence is often built up from one small thing after another.

As long as Lauren returns to the country and provides guidance on this matter, in the near future, the country's impression of the world government will be severely affected.

A small seed has been buried in the Kingdom of Coast. As long as someone pours nectar on it, it will take root and sprout and grow into a towering tree!

…

…

The cheers of the Coast Kingdom did not affect places outside the kingdom.

Lauren's victory made the audience at the scene and in front of the screen slightly surprised and excited for a moment, but was quickly forgotten by everyone.

Because after a short rest, the second group of contestants on the first day had already stood on the stage.

The two players in the second match are the other two players from Group B except Robin and Smoker.

One of these two people is a noble from a small country, and the other is a businessman who has made a small fortune in the Grand Line.

One Pokémon is a Pokémon that evolved from a Pokémon, and the other Pokémon is a rock and ground-type Rock Snake!

Both of them have unusual backgrounds, and their net worth is far beyond ordinary people's imagination. They have both exchanged a large amount of training materials for their Pokémon, so there is not much difference in the strength of the Pokémon.

The level of the Incense Ape is level 46, and the level of the Big Rock Snake is level 44.

Soon, the two aggressive Pokémon were fighting together.

It was different from the previous battle between Kobra and Lauren that ended quickly in just a few minutes.

In this battle, the Pokémon from both sides battled for more than ten minutes, which can be said to be a feast for the eyes of the audience.

In the arena, Big Rock Snake relied on its huge physical advantage and rock moves to continuously reduce the range of activities of Explosive Ape.

The Explosive Ape is always able to use its flexible body and explosive jumping power to dodge the attacks of the Big Rock Snake, and counterattack with fire-based moves.

Although the Explosive Ape can hit the Big Rock Snake, the fire-based moves with only half damage will not have much effect on the Big Rock Snake with strong physical strength.

And the big rock snake was unable to do anything against the jumping Xiangxiang ape.

The two Pokémon were going back and forth, and the arena continued to erupt with brilliant flames and loud roars.

In fact, in the eyes of a truly strong person, the fighting methods of these two Pokémon are too low-end, almost like children playing house.

But in the audience, some strong men were still watching the battlefield attentively, expecting a certain scene to appear.

Doflamingo's eyes flashed secretly.

According to his information, the two trainers in the ring, like Lauren, had participated in special training organized by dimensional merchants.

Seeing the relaxed expressions on the two trainers' faces, as if they were not using their full strength, Dover felt more and more that his guess was correct!

He couldn't help but licked his lips and let out a deep laugh:

"If this is really the case, then this world will really become interesting."

"Fuff, fu, fu..."

…

…

The battle lasted until the 20th minute.

The big rock snake, which had been injured many times, finally began to show its fatigue.

The trainer of the Big Rock Snake looked tense and suddenly stood up straight.

In front of several Rotom cameras, he suddenly smiled:

"It seems that if this continues, the loser will probably be me, Viscount Lar."

After all, they have been training together in Tianshen Gym for a month, and the relationship between these trainers is still very good.

When Viscount Lar heard what he said, a smile instantly appeared on his face and he said:

"So, you are already planning to move to the next stage?"

"Um!"

The merchant trainer nodded and laughed loudly:

"If this drags on like this, I won't have a chance to show off!"

"Hahaha, you said this as if you were going to lose." Lal's eyes narrowed and he said immediately:

"In this case, let us all show our true strength!!!"

"Respond to my feelings, Big Rock Snake (Explosive Ape)! Bond Evolution!!!"

As the two shouted in unison, a sacred light of evolution instantly enveloped the two Pokémon.

"What, the two of them can also bond and evolve!?"

The audience, who were confused by the conversation between the two, immediately exclaimed after seeing the light of evolution.

However, the faces of people such as Doflamingo showed "Sure enough" expressions.

"It seems that the secret is the evolution of this mysterious bond!?"

Dover grinned, eyes widened, and stared at the ring.

Under the spotlight, nobles and businessmen who had little power suddenly stepped onto the battlefield.

The next second, a scene that shocked everyone happened!

"It's about to happen! The Explosive Ape (Big Rock Snake)!"

As the two men shouted in unison, streaks of fire suddenly spurted out from the noble's body, flying towards the giant rock snake's body like bullets.

The businessman, not to be outdone, clapped his hands in front of his chest and then slowly parted them.

All of a sudden!

A row of sharp rock thorns suddenly appeared.

"go!"

The businessman waved his hand,

The two petted each other back and forth and started fighting fiercely again.

For a while, the scene was very lively.

…

…

In the auditorium.

Long looked at the two trainers in the field who were shooting flames and rock thorns. He couldn't help shaking his head, and couldn't tell whether he was crying or laughing and sighed:

"It's strange. Watching the battle off the field, I actually feel like I'm unfamiliar with the world."
