Lorelei and Bruno's Master Tournament finally came to an end.
The audience thoroughly enjoyed it, and both Elite performed admirably.
Overall, it was worth the ticket price.
Indeed, when Gary learned that even regular seats were selling for five thousand, he admitted he felt a pang of envy.
No wonder the Master Tournament was so frequent, yet no Elite ever complained; their appearance fees must be in the seven figures... However, none of this concerned Gary.
As soon as the match ended, the young master discreetly slipped away.
Are you kidding? With Bruno's burly muscles, what if he got angry after losing and wanted to challenge him to a real-life fight?
Gary knew his own tactics were extremely damaging and highly insulting.
Finding a coffee shop near the Battle Tower, Gary ordered a hot chocolate, sat down, and sent a message to Lorelei.
A candlelight dinner with the beautiful sister was still something to look forward to.
"Hey boy ~" Suddenly, a burly man in a military uniform sat opposite Gary.
Lt. Surge, that guy, actually followed Gary out.
Gary twitched his lips: "What, Master Bruno lost, did you lose money, Soldier?"
Lt. Surge looked at Gary with interest: "I like your address, and by the way, I don't gamble; I'm a man of principles."
"Then, why are you looking for me?" Gary asked curiously.
"I want to have a battle with you! How about it!?" Lt. Surge asked excitedly.
Gary's predictions during the Master Tournament had greatly impressed Lt. Surge; this kid was definitely a good hand at battling!
Ding ~
Kanto series quest, "Towards Indigo Plateau," has been updated.
Current progress (2/8).
Current quest: Obtain the Vermilion Gym badge.
Reward: 500 achievement points, TM: [Thunder]."
Wasn't this just delivered to his doorstep!
Gary nodded in agreement: "I'm collecting badges, and if you're willing to wager the Vermilion Gym badge, I don't think I have any reason to refuse your invitation."
Lt. Surge exhaled a puff of smoke with satisfaction: "OK, as you say, tomorrow at noon, I'll be waiting for you at the Vermilion Gym!"
Gary spread his hands: "See you there ~"
Having gotten the answer he wanted, Lt. Surge didn't linger, humming Guns N' Roses, he rode his heavy motorcycle away from Gary's table.
After sending Lt. Surge away, Gary continued to drink his hot chocolate, waiting for Lorelei to arrive.
After all, there was still a press conference after the match, so Lorelei wouldn't be out so early.
Just as Gary finished his hot chocolate and was considering a refill, the crisp sound of high heels echoed behind him.
Gary stretched lazily, then turned and smiled: "Sister Lorelei, are you done with work?"
Slap!
A powerful hand landed on Gary's shoulder, and Bruno, shirtless and with bulging muscles, appeared beside Gary.
"Young man ~ Are you the tactical genius Lorelei spoke of?" Bruno asked with a smile.
Gary's mouth twitched as he stood still, showing an awkward yet polite smile: "Hi Master Bruno "
Lorelei covered her mouth and chuckled: "Bruno said he wanted to meet the tactical master behind me, so I brought him over.
He's very impressed with the tactical system you helped me build."
Gary smiled outwardly, but inwardly he was cursing...
Sister, I helped you with tactics, helped you with special training, and you stab me in the back?
Feeling the force on his shoulder, Gary was genuinely afraid Bruno would invite him to a real man's duel...
"Um ~ I was just messing around, Master Bruno, you don't mind, right?" Gary muttered softly.
"Of course not." Bruno laughed heartily: "However, I still hope to have a friendly match with you, how about it?"
"That's it? Is that all?" Gary asked in surprise.
"Of course, how about it?" Bruno withdrew his large hand, crossed his arms, and waited for Gary's decision.
Gary looked at the poké ball on his waist, Scyther, you've eaten so much, it's time for you to repay me!
Scyther: Σ(°△°|||) Um... I can actually eat less.
"Bruno, your Pokemon just finished a match, it's not really suitable for another battle." Lorelei pushed up her glasses to remind him.
"Yeah, I think maybe next time?"
Gary thought to himself, 'Just you wait, when I get my six-slot gear, I'll make you call me daddy.'
"How about this, I remember the Battle Tower has a rental service, and since I just want to see Gary's skill level, how about a rental battle?" Bruno thought for a moment and said.
"That sounds great!" Gary immediately agreed.
The so-called rental battle was also one of the services of the battle facility.
Pokemon with an average level of around thirty-five to forty, uniformly trained by the Battle Tower, loaned to both sides for a match, that was a rental battle.
This was also a type of Trainer competition, because the Pokemon's levels were basically equal, the focus was on testing the tactical command abilities of both sides.
"Alright ~ Then let's go, let me see what you have to earn Lorelei's favor!" Bruno turned and walked away righteously, like an old father...
"What does that mean?" Gary looked at Lorelei, confused.
Lorelei's pretty face flushed: "It's nothing, anyway, battling an Elite Trainer is good for you, just do your best!"
Twenty minutes ago...
Lorelei and Bruno finished their interview and were chatting in the lounge.
"I really didn't expect you to abandon your Ice mastery and completely change your fighting style; this match caught me off guard." Bruno said with a bitter smile, shaking his head.
Lorelei rested her hand on her chin, thinking about her dinner with Gary later, and blurted out: "That was a tactic a cute younger brother helped me build, isn't he a tactical genius?"
"Younger brother ~" Bruno's expression changed: "How did you meet him?"
"I invited him to watch my match, we've both been staying in a small villa by the sea these past two days." Lorelei explained nonchalantly.
You're living together!!
Bruno clutched his chest in distress: "What's so good about him ~"
Lorelei cutely looked up at the ceiling: "He's good in every way ~ Very gentle, can cook, and gets along very well with Pokemon.
He's also a tactical genius, I expect he'll make a name for himself very soon."
"No! I don't believe it, I want to duel him! I want to see if he's really that excellent!" Jealousy makes people unrecognizable, and Master Bruno was no exception.
"Alright ~ We just happened to have dinner plans, I can introduce you to him." Lorelei laughed carelessly; in her eyes, she was just introducing a very capable and handsome younger brother to a colleague.
Little did she know, Bruno had already misunderstood...
He didn't even consider, with Lorelei's big villa, would Gary really need to squeeze into one bedroom with her?
And so, things happened in this strange way ~
The two Elites returned, and the Battle Tower staff diligently prepared a quiet battle room for Gary and the two Elites.
Gary held a tablet displaying the battle data of the Pokemon provided by the Battle Tower.
Gary's own Pokemon were gathered around him, ready to observe the battle.
Looking at Gary's Pokemon, Bruno still nodded objectively: "Each one is very well-trained, with shiny fur and full of spirit, it's just that the Trainer himself has thin arms and legs, a skinny dog."
That's right, as a tough man, I, Bruno, must prove that I am the true man!
Gary scrolled through the tablet's data, selecting the Pokemon he wanted.
The Battle Tower's Pokemon were all of good aptitude, but his opponent was an Elite Four, so Gary was very cautious.
He constantly thought about his opponent's choices and various possible scenarios.
Finally, a pink, round Pokemon stopped on Gary's selection page.
"It's you!" Gary pressed the confirm button, and the staff member beside him was astonished.
Because Gary had chosen a very special Pokemon; it could be said that no one used this thing to battle.
After making the selection, the staff member went to retrieve the poké ball.
Gary patted Scyther's shoulder and said regretfully: "You lost an opportunity to be beaten by an Elite Four, young man, you lost big."
Scyther was drenched in cold sweat; actually, it was quite unnecessary; the proud Blade Warrior was only brave, not thick-headed!
Charmeleon, on the other hand, puffed out two streams of white smoke from his nostrils in dissatisfaction.
He wanted this kind of opportunity.
Forget about an Elite, even if the Champion came, he could still knock out two of their teeth!
Soon, the staff member brought back the rental poké balls for Bruno and Gary.
A professional referee arrived at the edge of the battle arena, awaiting instructions.
Bruno stood with his hands on his hips: "Are you ready, young Gary?"
Gary tossed the poké ball in his hand: "This is a tactical duel, let's not resort to personal attacks, okay?"
"Of course not." Bruno pouted: "As an Elite Four of Kanto, I wouldn't be such a sore loser."
"Who knows ~" Gary muttered softly.
After all, the Pokemon he chose was quite... dirty.
