Hearing Wang Xiang's words, Chichi directly threw the hand card he was holding: "No more filming, no more filming! Is this filming a show? They're just treating us like livestock."
With that, Chichi climbed directly onto Blastoise's back: "Clefairy, let's go."
Deng Fei quickly stopped Chichi, and said kindly to Wang Xiang: "You said 'race', you're not making us run, are you?"
"Of course not." Wang Xiang replied, "If I made you run, you'd be exhausted and still couldn't outrun them."
Chichi immediately got off Blastoise's back: "You should have said so earlier! If you had, I wouldn't have acted like that."
Wang Xiang continued: "Although I won't make you run, I'll make your Pokémon carry you while running."
At this, not only all the guests were stunned, but their Pokémon were also stunned.
Ma Di was the first to object: "You want my Meowscarada to carry me? Are you serious?"
Ma Di stood directly beside Meowscarada: "Look at my Meowscarada, it has a slender build. Does it look like it can carry me?"
The second to object was Gao Hanyu: "Our dog is even shorter than me. You want him to carry me?"
Gao Hanyu's Lucario was only 1.5 meters tall, more than half a body shorter than the 1.8-meter-plus Gao Hanyu.
"You tell me, you carry me and show me!" Gao Hanyu went on strike directly.
"Uh..." Wang Xiang urgently discussed with the surrounding staff, and quickly came to a conclusion: "Then we'll allow you to do it in reverse. You can carry your Pokémon."
"Wang Xiang, be a human being." Everyone complained.
But no matter how much everyone complained, it was difficult to cancel a segment that had already been decided, otherwise there wouldn't be enough material for the show.
"Everyone, work hard. After you complete the challenge, I'll take you out for a big meal." Wang Xiang encouraged.
As soon as they heard about the big meal, everyone instantly became energized: "Come on, let's try it! Maybe we can do it!"
As everyone mustered their courage and prepared to start battling Mamoswine, Chichi's phone rang again.
Chichi looked at his phone, ignored everyone else, and directly answered the call.
"Chichi, where are you? I've arrived." Mu Li said from the other end of the phone, but it seemed very windy on Mu Li's side.
Chichi subconsciously turned his head and looked around: "Why is it so windy on your side? Where are you? I don't see you. We have a lot of people and Pokémon here, did you see them?"
"Oh, oh, I see you all!" Mu Li hung up the phone directly.
Chichi was stunned and subconsciously looked around, but he didn't see Mu Li.
Suddenly, Deng Fei pointed at the sky and exclaimed: "Look at the sky."
A white Pokémon that looked like an airplane circled in the sky once, then dived directly towards everyone.
It was Togekiss.
Togekiss swooped down and stopped directly in front of everyone. Mu Li lightly jumped off Togekiss's back and immediately saw Chichi among the crowd.
"Chichi!" Mu Li greeted him somewhat excitedly.
At this moment, Chichi was already stunned by the Togekiss that had descended from the sky. After hearing Mu Li's voice, he finally reacted: "A Li?"
"It's me!" Mu Li quickly walked to Chichi's side.
He and Chichi met while playing Pokémon Glory. They hit it off immediately and chatted heatedly online, but even though they had met countless times online, this was their first time meeting in person.
"You brat, I knew you were handsome, but I didn't expect you to be just as handsome as me!" Chichi immediately reverted to his mischievous self.
Mu Li directly rolled his eyes: "Have some shame. An'an will learn bad habits."
Chichi froze instantly. When his daughter was mentioned, he was a little overwhelmed.
"Is this Togekiss yours?" Chichi quickly changed the subject. Togekiss was already surrounded by everyone. If they weren't worried about Togekiss hurting people, everyone would probably have already touched it.
But even so, everyone's eyes were already sparkling.
"This is a real Togekiss! The legendary Lucky Star!"
"Do you think I can touch it?"
"It's so cool! It's also very big, it looks very safe!"
...
Mu Li nodded and replied: "This little guy just evolved not long ago, so I wanted to take him out for more walks."
Chichi suddenly straightened his back and rushed to Wang Xiang: "Wang Xiang, my savior is here. Whatever you want to compete, just name it!"
With that, Chichi called back the people surrounding Togekiss and introduced: "Everyone, this is my friend, and also a guest for this time, Mu Li. Let's give him a round of applause."
Although everyone was a bit confused, they still clapped to show their welcome.
Compared to the confused crowd, Mu Li was even more confused about the situation: "Chichi, what's going on?"
Deng Fei quickly interjected: "Chichi, be a human being. You don't even know what you're doing, and you've already tricked the kid into coming over."
Chichi directly ignored Deng Fei and explained to Mu Li: "We're currently filming Wu Ha. Didn't you want to debut? I just thought of calling you over."
Mu Li's eyes lit up, and he immediately understood Chichi's meaning: "That's great, thank you, brother."
Chichi waved his hand and continued: "We're just about to start filming. You can just join in. Don't worry, everyone will take care of you, just relax."
Mu Li nodded and greeted the other guests.
He had watched the show Wu Ha a few times before and always found it interesting, but he never expected his first show to be Wu Ha. He still hadn't fully processed it.
Fortunately, he had seen all these guests on TV, so he was relatively familiar with them.
After Mu Li finished meeting everyone, Chichi once again stood arrogantly in front of Wang Xiang: "Director Wang, name it. How do you want to compete?"
Wang Xiang hesitated for a moment, then still followed the original rules and said: "Your Pokémon will carry you in a relay race. If you can outrun Mamoswine within 500 meters, you pass, and I'll treat you to a big meal."
As soon as he finished speaking, Wang Xiang saw Togekiss, which hadn't yet entered its Poké Ball, and added: "Let's agree first, no flying!"
Chichi immediately objected: "What did you say? Why no flying? What about Jie Ni?"
Wang Xiang looked at Jie Ni's Pidgeot and said: "Jie Ni's Pidgeot can fly at low altitude."
Jie Ni and his Pidgeot exchanged glances and fell silent.
Everyone immediately burst into laughter: "Wang Xiang, your targeting is too obvious."
"Yeah, Director Wang, my airplane can't fly fast. Look how big it is." Mu Li also quickly argued.
Togekiss also nodded as if in agreement: "Chuu chuu!"
"Really?" Wang Xiang was a little disbelieving. He knew Mu Li's identity. With Mu Li's identity, this Togekiss couldn't be ordinary, although the appearance of Togekiss itself was already extraordinary. Didn't he see that the staff and guests were almost going crazy?
"Really." Mu Li nodded, "He almost had his pilot's license revoked because of it before."
Mu Li didn't mention one thing: the reason he almost had his pilot's license revoked was because his low-altitude flight speed exceeded 500 kilometers per hour. Normal people's Pokémon can't exceed 200 kilometers per hour when flying at high altitude in the city, and low-altitude flight speed is restricted to 100.
"Alright then, but you can only fly at low altitude, no more than 10 meters above the ground." Wang Xiang proposed the restriction.
"No problem." Mu Li quickly agreed.
The entire race was 500 meters, with 4 relays in between, meaning a total of five people were needed to participate.
"Ma Di and Hanyu, you two don't participate." Chichi directly assigned, "If you did, your Pokémon would probably run away from home."
"Me, Deng Fei, Big Brother, Jie Ni, and A Li, that's exactly five people."
Everyone nodded, approving this allocation plan.
Just as everyone was ready to try out the venue, a staff member suddenly ran over and said: "Director, there's a problem with the venue."
Wang Xiang felt a headache coming on and immediately followed the staff member to check the venue.
Mu Li and the others also followed.
The venue was supposed to be a straight track, 500 meters long, and with the strength of the Mamoswine, they could easily create a 500-meter-long ice track.
However, the temperature in Mu City today seemed particularly high. It was already 32 degrees Celsius at 4 PM. At such a high temperature, even if the Mamoswine used all their power, they could only create a 200-meter-long ice track.
"Are there any other Ice-type Pokémon that can help?" Wang Xiang asked.
"All Ice-type Pokémon have been called to help. It's just that most of our Pokémon are physical types, and we have very few Ice-type Pokémon." The staff member explained.
"What do we do now?" Wang Xiang had a headache. "200 meters is really too short, it's not even enough for the Pokémon to get a running start."
Mu Li and the others also rushed over, asking about the reason for the situation.
After hearing Wang Xiang's explanation, Chichi asked: "Why don't we just cancel this segment?"
"I think that's a good idea. This kind of segment is completely unnecessary." Deng Fei chimed in.
"Exactly!" Fan Yizhi also chimed in, "There's no point in winning this kind of competition."
Everyone's words made Wang Xiang a little tempted. This competition itself had no real meaning. The main reason he designed this segment was to promote the Mamoswine of the Frontier and let everyone learn more about this Pokémon.
"There's no other way. We'll just change the segment." Wang Xiang's mind moved, "Since it's only 200 meters of ice track, we'll just let people race against Mamoswine. At most, Mamoswine can give you a 15-second head start."
Chichi immediately changed his tune: "Director Wang, I think the previous idea was better. Competition between Pokémon is interesting. How can people compete with Pokémon?"
"I'm with Chichi on this one. This is where you're wrong, Director Wang. Since the game has already been designed, it shouldn't be easily changed." Deng Fei quickly chimed in.
The other people also chimed in one after another.
Mu Li, who was standing by, was already stunned.
Are these people so shameless?
He really... liked it.
Wang Xiang put on a defiant look: "Anyway, you've seen it. There's only 200 meters of ice track now, and I can't do anything about it."
Chichi and the others were immediately choked up and sighed one after another.
At this moment, a voice suddenly emerged.
"Director, if I can make up the remaining 300 meters of ice track, can we proceed with the original plan?"
Everyone turned their heads and saw that the source of the voice was Mu Li.
