Battle Chateau.
Today, the Battle Chateau was even livelier.
"They're here, they're here!"
Upon seeing Li Wei arrive at the Battle Chateau alone on his Metagross, the knights' voices were filled with excitement.
After Siebold and Li Wei agreed to battle yesterday, it garnered widespread attention and discussion.
Unlike yesterday, when they agreed to come together, today they arrived separately.
"Marquis Li Wei, Duke Siebold is already prepared. If you are ready, please don your cape and prepare to head to the battle area."
"No problem, I'm ready."
"Lucario!"
Li Wei once again donned his blue cape.
After being promoted from Count to Marquis, his cape changed from green to blue.
At least it's not 'forgiveness green' anymore…
With the blue cape, Li Wei had a bit of an Aura user vibe, just missing a top hat.
This duel between Li Wei and Siebold was personally refereed by Butler Yi Kong, the manager of the Battle Chateau.
"Are both sides ready? Do you have any objections?"
Siebold, wearing a Red cape, had a calm expression, like a still body of water.
"None."
But beneath the calm surface, perhaps currents surged.
"Can I start a live stream?"
Butler Yi Kong pondered, "There have been precedents, but Elite Four Zhi Mi's consent is required."
Live streaming battles is a normal occurrence, even at the Battle Chateau.
The last person to live stream a battle at the Battle Chateau was Kabu from the Galar region.
Siebold nodded, "I have no problem."
Li Wei started a live stream on Eevee Net and changed the title to [Battle Chateau, VS Duke Siebold].
Qinglv and the others also wanted to watch this battle.
Li Wei started the stream at their request.
If it were just Li Wei, he wouldn't bother to stream.
"Then I'll begin, Rotom!"
Rotom Dex moved to a position overlooking the entire scene, aiming its camera at the battle area, capturing both Li Wei and Siebold.
Fans of the Zhuqing Breeding Center account suddenly received a live stream notification.
Li Wei, who had never live streamed before, suddenly started a broadcast!
On August 1st, Li Wei announced on his account that he was going out for inspiration, but teaching videos would be released regularly.
No one expected that Li Wei would go to the Kalos region for inspiration, and even face off against Gym Leader Siebold.
"What am I seeing? Gym Leader!"
"At the Battle Chateau, you should refer to their noble titles."
After a barrage of dense bullet comments, gift effects gradually flooded the screen.
[Battle Man sent a Super Rocket]
[Lance sent a Super Rocket]
...
[Cabbage Ice Cream sent a Super Rocket]
[OakQinglv sent a Super Rocket]
[I Was First After All sent ten Super Rockets]
While fans and viewers flowing into the live stream exclaimed, "Big boss is generous!" and "Red, think twice!",
In the chat group,
Qinglv complained, "You're not very sociable, Steven."
Steven smiled slightly, "I accidentally clicked too many, because there are too many gifts in the account."
Qinglv: "..."
Red: "..."
Lance: "...?! !"
Xiao Huang: "Hehe, I also sent a little."
Xiao Huang sent some free gifts.
For no other reason than that Li Wei's dishes looked delicious, and Red liked them very much.
Lt. Surge said righteously, "That's right, it's not about sending the most to be a fan; spiritual support is also support!"
Qinglv and Red had no intention of competing with Steven in sending gifts; it would be impossible to win.
On this point, Lt. Surge was indeed correct.
Li Wei marked the accounts of the big bosses in the group, as well as Cynthia's account, "Rotom, make them moderators."
"Received, Rotom!"
On the spectator viewing platform,
Violet, the professional photographer and Santalune City Gym Leader whom Li Wei defeated yesterday, was also present.
She had even added a telephoto lens today and never took her eyes off the camera, continuously taking pictures.
"The blue cape suits Mr. Li Wei better and also matches Lucario very well."
Chakuro of the Shalour City Gym, hanging by one hand on the main gate, had a unique perspective that others did not…
"I say, can't you put down your camera?"
Violet didn't even turn her head, "You come down from the door frame before you complain about me."
Li Wei nodded slightly towards Siebold,
"Mr. Siebold, I'm ready."
Butler Yi Kong raised his right hand high, "Next is the battle between Count Siebold and Marquis Li Wei.
Each side may use one Pokémon, with no restrictions on Mega Evolution or Z-Moves. Please battle to your heart's content!"
Under Rotom's camera, Siebold in his Red cape and Li Wei in his blue cape stepped to the center.
Poké Balls touched.
"Let's have a wonderful battle."
This is a necessary procedure at the Battle Chateau.
Li Wei nodded slightly,
"Let's have a wonderful battle."
Li Wei knew that Siebold would definitely go all out this time, but he was also ready.
The special dishes he prepared early in the morning, such as Crab Roe Lion's Head and Smoked Round Citrus Juice, were not prepared in vain.
Lucario also ate the corresponding perfect Energy Cube and Super Aromatic Pokémon Puff…
After eating a small piece of Golden Bottle Cap last night, Lucario's condition had been adjusted to its peak.
A Jin excitedly said, "It's starting, it's starting!"
Red: "Hehe, I'm also very much looking forward to it."
Red had never seen Siebold battle and was also very interested in how much Li Wei's strength had improved.
"Go, Blastoise!"
"Go, Lucario!"
Both threw their Poké Balls simultaneously.
Just at first glance, seeing Lucario's Aura, Qinglv immediately concluded, "Lucario has become stronger."
And from Qinglv's observation…
Lance nodded slightly, "Lucario's condition is excellent, definitely at its peak."
And indeed, it was.
After eating the Golden Bottle Cap last night, Lucario's strength ushered in a new breakthrough.
[Strength Rating]: Master Advanced
Just one step away, Lucario could advance to Elite Four-level, on par with the Elite Four-level Arcanine.
This was already a very fast rate of progress.
One must know that more than half a year ago, Lucario was actually only a Gym-level Pokémon.
More importantly, Lucario's condition.
[Condition]: Full of Vigor
Below that were a bunch of temporary buffs.
These were all thanks to Li Wei's special dishes.
But his opponent… was indeed a bit tricky.
Li Wei's Identification (Intermediate) provided information about Blastoise.
[Skills]: Water Pulse, Hydro Pump, Iron Defense, Protect, Rain Dance, Aura Sphere, Dark Pulse, Hydro Cannon, Dragon Pulse...
[Item]: Blastoise Mega Stone
[Strength Rating]: Elite Four (Intermediate)
But why should Li Wei be afraid?
The observant Xiao Huang found a blind spot,
"Look at Lucario's wrist!"
Li Wei and Siebold simultaneously pressed their key stones and loudly declared:
"Blastoise, Mega Evolve!"
"Lucario, Mega Evolve!"
