Chapter 122: Starting from a one-shot kill, pushing forward

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

With his family around, it wouldn’t be good for him and Sonia to sleep in the same room again.

The tip his mother gave him was that he and Sonia were not married yet. Although with the development of the world, it was already an era of free love between men and women, but some rules still had to be followed.

To put it bluntly, this is respect for elders.

Especially since Sonia’s grandmother Mulan is also here, if Xia Mu takes Sonia away before they get married, he will seem very presumptuous.

Even though Xia Mu has been recognized by Mulan, recognition is recognition alone, and the two sides should keep their distance before getting married.

In short, if they were not here, no matter what Xia Mu and Sonia did, they would not be able to see or control it.

But in the recent period, we have to be more restrained and must not do anything excessive.

In the room, Xia Mu suddenly felt a little uncomfortable because Sonia was not around.

But it’s okay. He has to do something during this time. The Pokémon on him also need to be nurtured.

He didn’t plan to use the same Pokémon in this Quartz Conference, so he had to strengthen all the Pokémon he had again.

As for money, there is nearly 3 million yuan on hand, which is more than enough.

While improving the Pokémon’s strength, Xia Mu received calls from Musashi, Kojiro and Meowth, and they agreed on a place to meet.

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

The first reason was to cheer for Xia Mu, and the second was that Quartz Plateau had purchased the shop and renovated it half a month ago, and now the shop can operate normally.

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

The next step is to wait for him to become famous with one battle, and then Musashi, Kojiro, and Meowth will promote it heavily. At that time, the energy cube will definitely become a hot item, and countless trainers will rush to buy it.

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

When it comes to marketing methods, Musashi Kojiro and Meow Meow can be said to be unmatched.

This is reflected in the original work, showing how incredible their abilities are.

They would appear as vendors in every league competition and make a fortune.

In the store’s office, Natsuki nodded with 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 didn’t treat you as my subordinates, otherwise, I wouldn’t have given you full authority.” Xia Mu said to them.

Upon hearing this, the two men and the cat all showed somewhat embarrassed expressions.

“Of course we know, but there still has to be a distinction between superiors and subordinates. You are the real boss, and we must also have an attitude, otherwise we will overstep our boundaries. Without rules, there will be no order.” Kojiro spoke first.

As expected of someone from a wealthy family, his language skills are very impressive.

Natsuki also realized from Kojiro’s performance that he was actually a very confident person, but his previous experiences and his experience as a member of Team Rocket made him gradually disappointed in himself.

Now that he has managed everything in an orderly manner, he has found his sense of existence.

“Kojiro is right, you are the boss. If we don’t even understand this, you won’t be able to hand over the power to us with confidence.” Musashi said seriously. Because she changed her hairstyle, she looked more mature.

“Although Meow Meow also hopes to be treated like this all the time, I also think that you, the boss, should have some dignity of your own in the future.” Meow Meow’s words made Xia Mu open his mouth.

It is true what they said.

Xia Mu unconsciously had a feeling that he was going to be molded into a top boss by them.

Xia Mu was very happy to receive the absolute loyalty of the two people and the cat.

“On the surface, we should do what we should do. But in private, there is no need for such rules.” Xia Mu agreed with what they said, but also insisted on his own way.

Winning people’s hearts is not something that can be done just once, but requires time to see their true colors.

Natsuki’s words also touched Musashi, Kojiro, and Meowth even more.

“Come to think of it, didn’t Madonna come with you? I heard that you two were inseparable on Round Island.” Xia Mu joked curiously.

I remember a few days ago, after Madonna was teleported back and handed over to Miaomiao, there was a wave of emotional drama.

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

“What is a girl doing out here? It will only affect work efficiency! I’ll let her stay in Yuandao City to avoid causing trouble, Meow.” Meow Meow tightened his suit, looking like a big boss in a suit.

It really is Meow Meow.

Xia Mu would give him a thumbs up.

When Musashi and Kojiro saw Meow Meow starting to act cool, they were speechless for a moment and held their foreheads with their hands.

Afterwards, Xia Mu chatted with them about the next arrangements and then returned to the hotel to rest.

It was already very late and he couldn’t continue wandering outside.

After returning to the hotel, Xia Mu received a message from Sonia. After briefly flirting with her, they said good night to each other.

……

In a blink of an eye.

The next morning.

As the Quartz Conference was about to begin, fireworks continued to be set off in the sky above the arena.

Although it cannot be seen during the day, the deafening explosions are telling everyone on the Quartz Plateau that the annual Quartz Conference will begin today.

All the spectators entered the auditorium first, waiting for the next Pokémon battle, while the trainers prepared in the waiting area of ​​the arena.

Originally, Xia Mu should have been here as well, but at the request of the official alliance, as well as the request of President Damalanqi and Commander-in-Chief Yantie, Xia Mu was allowed to be the last to appear, and then use his Moltres to light the sacred flame of this Quartz Conference.

Xia Mu knew that the two old men were building up momentum for him, so that more people would know of his existence and allow him to accumulate reputation faster.

Everything Xia Bo did on Honglian Island was to make Xia Mu’s reputation more famous.

It’s just that Xia Bo’s ability is limited, and it’s already good enough that he can achieve that level.

Now we are relying on the alliance conference to help.

At 8:30 in the morning, the contestants entered the venue one after another under the instructions of the commentator. In order to light the Olympic flame at exactly 9 o’clock, the entrance time and the speeches of the official staff were controlled at the best time.

Xia Mu actually feels like a social death.

After all, being watched by so many people would definitely be uncomfortable.

But now that things have come to this, he has no choice.

You can only be brave. Since no one knows you, you will be fine as long as you try your best not to make any wrong or embarrassing moves.

At the call of the commentator, Xia Mu strolled out of the special passage.

With his appearance, the whole audience fell silent and everyone’s eyes were focused until Xia Mu arrived at the reserved center position in the arena.

“Go, Moltres.” He raised his hand and threw the high-level ball into the sky. “Gah-Ah!!!”

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

The Moltres is like a beam of flame rising into the sky, blooming in the sky above the arena, sacred and inviolable.

Countless media outlets turned their cameras to film the event. The commentators cheered passionately, igniting the passion of the entire audience. Countless people stood up excitedly and took out their phones to record this unprecedented moment.

All the trainers looked up at the godlike existence, and at the same time, they were even more amazed at Xia Mu’s existence.

Legendary Pokémon Trainer.

The flame of Moltres seemed to be alive, and under Moltres’ control, it flew towards the Holy Fire Platform.

Until the sacred fire platform was completely ignited, the flaming bird flew into it, and the blazing sacred fire shocked everyone.

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

Next, Moltres doesn’t need to go back to the Poké Ball for the time being. Xia Mu has discussed with President Damalaqi and Ente and decided to let Moltres stay on the Sacred Flame Platform until the end of the game.

……

The opening ceremony ended like this, and next is today’s competition.

Because the number of participants is the largest in history, it will take four or five hours to complete the first round of preliminary selections.

At the end of the day, it was good enough to successfully complete the selection of the third round of preliminaries.

In fact, it was precisely because this Quartz Conference was held very hastily that the Silver Conference in Chengdu was later held very well.

It learned from the shortcomings of the Quartz Conference, especially the protagonist Xiaozhi made it to the top eight, and it was hailed as the most exciting conference.

Because Xiaozhi officially defeated Xiaomao in the Silver Conference. Although he lost to Ye Yue, the fight was very intense.

Unlike later tournaments, even though Xiaozhi achieved a higher ranking, he did not have the same passion as before.

Originally, he could have won the championship in one battle in Sinnoh, but a wall-climbing player named Darko showed up.

It was clear that Ninja Frog was going to win that battle, but in the end it ended up losing…

When they arrived at the waiting area, Xia Mu became everyone’s target because he was also a trainer participating in the competition.

Of course Xia Mu wouldn’t care.

During this time, some trainers that Xia Mu knew came over one by one to say hello.

When he was in charge of the Red Lotus Gym, there were many trainers who challenged him, and many of these trainers participated in this Quartz Conference.

Xiao Mao and Xiao Zhi also came over and exchanged several words with Xia Mu until it was their turn to compete, and then they stepped onto the fighting arena.

There is no doubt that both of them successfully advanced.

In the original novel, they were all successfully shortlisted on the first day of preliminary selection.

Until it was Xia Mu’s turn to compete.

The battlefield was rocky, and his opponent was a girl of about eleven or twelve years old. He didn’t hear her name clearly, so Xia Mu simply ignored her.

The preliminaries were conducted in a three-on-three format. In fact, for Xia Mu, even if the opponent used six, he only used one and could still advance the team.

For example, this girl’s three Pokémon, Bulbasaur, Onix, and Golduck.

According to the level of Pokémon, it is considered to be very good and very powerful, with levels around level 40.

But since she was facing Xia Mu, she had no choice but to withdraw.

Xia Mu used Nine-Tailed Fox and originally planned to fight three against three, but there was really no need to waste time, so he just fought one against three.

Nine-Tailed Fox followed Xia Mu and Sonia to explore the wild a few days ago, so Xia Mu had already upgraded its level to level 70, and also made adjustments to its individual value and effort value.

It can be said to be a level crushing, even if the attributes are restrained, it doesn’t matter.

After defeating the girl, Xia Mu realized that she was also a trainer from Pallet Town.

I went on the trip at the same time as Xiaozhi and Xiaomao.

It’s quite good to be able to achieve this.

The girl was very sad after losing so badly, but she was not discouraged. Instead, she looked forward to her resurrection match.

That’s right, after losing the first preliminary round, there is a revival round where the losing players will compete against each other, and the winner will enter the second preliminary round.

After the first show, Xia Mu left the waiting area backstage.

There is no need to waste all your time here, just come back in the afternoon when the second round of preliminaries starts.

As for watching the game, Xia Mu actually had no interest in it, but there was nothing else to do except go to the audience to find Sonia to watch the show.

He had probably already taken a quick look at all the contestants, and there weren’t any powerful characters among them that had appeared in the original novel.

In his previous life, Xia Mu had actually read a lot of Pokémon novels, in which the Quartz Conference had been magically modified and strengthened, and all kinds of plug-in players that would only appear in the later stages would make their debut.

It’s actually not that far-fetched.

There are indeed powerful trainers, but no matter how powerful they are, they are at most at the level of Xiaotian, Kongnan, and Kainan.

Accompanying Sonia, Xia Mu chatted and laughed with her.

Not only are the seats in this area located at the front, but dozens of them are reserved by the Xia family.

Because Xia Mu came here, some peers from the Xia family greeted Xia Mu, especially the women, who flattered and courted him one by one, making it feel like they were delivering themselves to the door.

Xia Mudu thought that if he wanted, he could just take them to the hotel.

Family marriage is really the most terrifying thing.

These women are all rich daughters. They look unattainable, but in fact they are just pawns in the hands of those in power.

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

The Xia family is very large, and the Kanto region is indeed its birthplace, but it is only a part of it.

Xia Bo is one of the three powerful people, but his jurisdiction is limited to the Kanto region and does not involve Hoenn and Sinnoh.

Other regions are other bloodline branches. These outstanding young women in the family are also the children of the directors who manage the major industries of the Xia family. They are all used as tools to actively approach Xia Mu.

You don’t need to get the position of the legal wife, but as long as you have a relationship, it will be different.

Xia Mu knew that his parents were in a difficult situation, because although they seemed to be in charge of the Xia family’s business in the entire Kanto area, they actually had limited power in their hands, and many things needed to be decided by voting. If it weren’t for Xia Bo’s support and Yan Tie’s secret coordination, they would probably have lost their real power long ago.

So, the current situation is that his parents also hope that he can become bigger and stronger, Yan Tie is betting on him, and Xia Bo…
