Manor Lord in the Pokémon World

Chapter 99 Grand Contest Winner

boom!

The psychic powers and the water cannon skill clashed in the air, and after a mere two seconds of stalemate, the psychic energy shattered the water flow like a sharp sword!

Then it hit Milotic, knocking it away.

"What?!"

Michael stared wide-eyed in disbelief.

After Feebas evolved into Milotic, he fought many battles. Although he won and lost, this was the first time he was defeated in a head-on battle when the two sides were evenly matched!

He looked at Kirullian as if she were a monster.

It's only been a month, how come this Kirlia's attack power is so incredibly strong!

This Milotic's attack power is so impressive that even Adam-sensei praised it.

"snowstorm!"

"Fur!"

The endless blizzard swept in again, but this time, Ark did not let Kirlia use her psychic shield to deduct points from Mikuri.

It's time to end this battle.

"Kirullian, let it witness the fruits of our labor! End the battle with Illusion Storm!"

Kirlia stared intently at Milotic. Although she hadn't been able to fight Ragnaros again, Milotic was Mikoli's trump card, who was even stronger than Ragnaros.

Defeating it is the same as defeating Little Ra.

All the hard work over this period of time has led to today's battle!

It absolutely must win this game!

Let the Grand Contest of Ancient Town be the starting point for my conquest of the Grand Contest Championship!

"Suri Suri~"

Unlike her earlier performance where she had to prioritize visual appeal, Kiruri now fully unleashed her power. The Psychic-type energy instantly created a storm on the field, swirling the surrounding snow and wind into a pink and blue tornado that hurtled towards Milotic.

"The situation has reversed! A major crisis! This time it's Mikuri's turn to be in big trouble! Kirlia not only easily deflected the water cannon attack, but also used its signature move, Illusion Storm!" Vivian shouted hoarsely.

The surrounding audience erupted in thunderous cheers. They had originally thought that the Grand Contest was just a boring display of skills, with people attacking and deflecting each other's moves to make their opponents lose more points. But after watching Ark's match today, they felt their whole being ignited.

A massive blue and pink tornado hurtled toward Milotic as if it were about to overturn the arena.

Qi Shu's eyes lit up; as a part-time gym leader, she even wanted to have a battle with Fang Zhou.

At the same time, he wondered to himself, "Aren't you the lord of the manor? How come you're so good at fighting!"

That was so cool! That move was absolutely awesome!

Go, Kirlia!

On the field, Mikuri watched as the massive tornado coming towards them easily swallowed Milotic's attack and continued to grow stronger. He shouted anxiously, "Get out of the way!"

This Milotic's fighting style has always been relentless, and its personality is different from other Milotics; it prefers to attack.

Even now, it is still trying to increase the power of the blizzard to stop the advance of the illusion storm. When it heard Mikoli's voice, it paused for a moment.

Me? Avoid?

Mikuri has always spoiled it. It likes to attack, so Mikuri has always respected its style and has never given it the command to dodge, even though Adam has mentioned many times that this crazy way of attacking will eventually lead to trouble. But Mikuri, who is just a teenager now, doesn't care, and Milotic is even less concerned.

In that moment of stunned silence, the illusion storm had already arrived before him.

Before it could even react, the powerful suction pulled it inside.

"Whoosh!" Milotic let out a mournful cry as it was swept into the illusionary storm.

The blizzard and other attacks from before landed on it again.

As Kirlia slowly dissipated the illusion storm, Milotic landed on the ground, its eyes spinning like mosquito coils, unable to fight.

I lost?

Michael stood there, stunned and incredulous.

He actually lost, lost in the very arena of the magnificent tournament that he was so proud of.

He suddenly remembered his teacher's previous teachings.

Perhaps I really need to find some time to reflect with Milotic and find the right way to fight...

"Mildark is unable to fight, Kirlia wins! Therefore, the victor is Ark!"

The referee waved his little flag and announced the result of the match.

Immediately, cheers erupted from the crowd.

"The champion of this year's Pokémon Manor Contest has been crowned! Ark from Pokémon Manor, with Kirlia's dazzling battle skills and overwhelming strength, defeated powerful opponents such as Swellow and Milotic to achieve final victory. Congratulations!"

Fangzhou walked over to the distraught Teacher Mi.

The other person's appearance reminded him of his first battle with Mikuri, when the very proud Ralts, who had just been born, also looked frustrated after suffering a blow.

"It's okay, you don't need to comfort me. I've been a bit cocky and arrogant lately."

Mikuri rubbed his temples. "This Milotic is very special and powerful. I've always indulged its nature, which makes me an incompetent trainer."

He reached out and shook hands with Fang Zhou, quickly regaining his composure.

"Ark, I concede defeat completely to your final illusion storm. It was flawless in both its spectacle and its power. Next time we meet, let's have another grand spectacle battle! Milotic and I will definitely not lose!"

Fang Zhou gave a strange look. Goodness, why does that sentence sound so familiar? Wasn't that what he said to Mikoli when he failed last time?

The wheel of fortune turns.

Next, it was time to receive the awards.

The award was presented by Mr. Conkenstein, the director of the Pokémon Contests Bureau. He shook hands with Ark and said, "After seeing your performance at the Weaving Festival, I felt that this Kirlia has a lot of talent in this area. I look forward to your appearance in the Contests Championship."

Fangzhou thanked him, accepted the pink ribbon medal, and pinned it to Kirlia's chest.

"Kirullian, this is only the first one! We need to get four more!"

"Suri Suri~"

Kirlia nodded vigorously. "It can definitely be done!"

The prize money of 100,000 League Coins has already been deposited into Ark's account. The champion's reward also includes a Steel-type Pokémon egg, which can be collected from Nurse Joy after the competition.

The crowd began to leave in an orderly manner. Fangzhou and Qishu met up and walked outside together.

Mikkelsen has left; it seems the loss in the match was quite a blow to him.

The next time we meet, it will probably be a completely new Milotic.

In Fangzhou's memory, Milotic was the ace Pokémon that Mikuri was, capable of standing alone.

"Ark, then it's goodbye for now. You must come visit me in the Padia region sometime!" Qishu waved and prepared to get into a tuk-tuk to go to the airport.

Fangzhou nodded. After spending two days together, he and Qishu had become good friends.

The internet celebrity is a very approachable girl in her daily life, and she even promised to find an opportunity to help Ark promote Pokémon Manor products.

Before leaving, Fangzhou asked Qishu what her dream was. Qishu said it was to become a real internet celebrity and have people all over the world watch her live streams.

Fangzhou believed that she could definitely do it.

People come and go in a hurry, chasing their dreams.

Mikuri continues his training to become a top-tier Coordinator, while Kiju returns to Padia to continue his livestreaming career in pursuit of his dream of becoming a top internet celebrity.

I need to move on now. Counting the days, it'll be in the next few days before I head to the Kanto region to attend Professor Oak's gathering.

Of course, before that, there was another important thing...

Looking at the blue cotton bird perched on his shoulder, carrying the small camera given to him by the strange tree in its beak, Fangzhou made one last confirmation.

"Bluebird, are you sure you want to become a major internet celebrity?"

"Chirp chirp!"
