Seeing the shield rise around Venusaur, Sylveon couldn't help but curl her lips. She used her four limbs to jump directly above Venusaur.
"Bu Yi!" Following Sylveon's cry, her tail gradually turned silver-white.
Cui Shangyin frowned, "It's Iron Tail?"
He was a bit confused. Why would Sylveon use a move like Iron Tail when Venusaur was in Protect state? Wasn't that just exposing a weakness for no reason?
"Did I misjudge her? Using such a novice move..." Cui Shangyin's brows furrowed. "Never mind, Venusaur..."
Just as Sylveon's Iron Tail struck the Protect shield, Cui Shangyin was about to order Venusaur to attack, but the shield shattered like broken glass.
The next moment, Sylveon transformed into a beam of light and charged directly at Venusaur, but what puzzled Cui Shangyin was that Sylveon's target was not Venusaur, but the ground beneath Venusaur's feet.
With a bang, even though Sylveon's target was not Venusaur, the attack on the ground was terrifying.
This Tackle immediately created a huge explosion, instantly sending Venusaur flying.
Before Venusaur could land, two ribbons extended out from somewhere.
"Watch my ultimate move, Double Slap: The Spinning Gyro King Turtle!" Sylveon shouted, her two ribbons continuously dancing in the air like two long whips, causing Venusaur to spin rapidly in the air.
Not only was Cui Shangyin stunned, but everyone in the audience was also stunned.
"What kind of move is this?" Mu Li couldn't help but complain. Others couldn't hear it, but he had heard Gardevoir's translation.
"No, is there no one she cares about in this society anymore?" Mu Li felt an extreme sense of shame wash over him. He wished he could just dig a hole in the ground and escape.
Only an embarrassed Sylveon remained, smiling awkwardly at the Venusaur that had been knocked to the ground.
"Battle... the winner is Venusaur, oh no, it's Sylveon..." The referee was so startled that he almost mispronounced the winner's name.
"No, this is impossible!" Cui Shangyin immediately came down from the battle stage. When he saw Venusaur lying on the ground, indeed unconscious, his face changed dramatically. "No, how is this possible?"
Cui Shangyin muttered to himself, clearly not believing what was happening before his eyes.
Mu Li shrugged, just about to leave.
"Wait a moment!" Cui Shangyin shouted, "I want to battle you again!"
Mu Li couldn't help but roll his eyes and say, "Didn't you already lose?"
"I was careless just now, I didn't dodge. This time, I'm sure I can win." Cui Shangyin had clearly lost his composure.
Mu Li looked at the organizers with exasperation, asking helplessly, "Miss, can people keep battling again and again like this?"
The Miss from the organizing committee was also helpless: "Sorry, sir, this is the first time we've encountered such, uh, shameless contestants..."
Mu Li shook his head and said, "I can understand. After all, different places raise different kinds of people."
Mu Li glanced at Cui Shangyin, ignored him, and returned directly to the program team's group.
"I didn't expect it! A Li, your Sylveon is very powerful!" Zhang Ruoyun exclaimed in admiration.
Sylveon snuggled in Mu Li's arms, her mouth almost reaching the sky, but to maintain her persona, she had to forcefully suppress it and pretend to be calm.
Seeing this, Jigglypuff immediately ran out, tugging at Mu Li's hair, completely puffed up with anger: "Boli Boli!!! I want to battle too!!"
Mu Li couldn't help but roll his eyes: "You were shouting for a long time just now and I didn't hear you say anything, you just wanted to Slack Off. Now you know it's good? Too late."
"I don't care!!!!" Jigglypuff held onto Mu Li's hair for dear life, refusing to agree.
Just then, the organizers issued a new rule: "The same person can only use one Pokémon to participate, and cannot re-enter the competition on the same day after losing."
Everyone burst out laughing.
"I understand now. Underneath every absurd rule, there must have been an even more absurd event," Song Ling'er said with a laugh.
"This targeting is too obvious, isn't it?" Li Xian subconsciously looked towards South Korea, where it was already in chaos.
Several celebrities and Cui Shangyin were already cursing at each other, seemingly preparing to find a place to settle their differences.
Mu Li spread his hands helplessly and said, "See, the organizers understood your little trick, that's why they introduced this clause. There's no need for me to say who it's targeting, right?"
Jigglypuff: "??"
In any case, Jigglypuff ultimately did not get a chance to appear.
And the final winner was determined to be Milotic because a certain Sylveon was unwilling to go on stage.
Everyone was very happy. They had defeated Cui Shangyin and won prizes. When the show went online, the ratings would surely skyrocket.
Aside from anything else, when Mu Li and the others returned from shopping, they had already found out about this matter online.
News travels incredibly fast in the internet age.
In the entire incident, the only one unhappy was probably little Jigglypuff.
"You deserve it!" Mu Li poked little Jigglypuff's puffed-up face while complaining, "You want to Slack Off and also get benefits."
What angered little Jigglypuff the most wasn't the battle for the spotlight, after all, such things happened too often in Mu Li's home; who hadn't had their moment of glory a few times?
The most important thing was that the organizers, seeing Mu Li voluntarily withdraw from the competition, specially sent Sylveon a set of Tapu Guardians figurines.
These things were no ordinary items.
After all, these were tangible items that could be seen and touched.
Now Sylveon even had to tie the four small figurines with her ribbons when she walked, her smug look simply infuriated little Jigglypuff.
"Boli Boli!! I want that figurine too, no, I want a bigger one!!!" Jigglypuff puffed up into a balloon again.
Mu Li felt a headache just looking at her.
"How about this, you go ask Tapu Fini, she definitely has some." Mu Li directly chose to shift the blame, throwing the responsibility onto Tapu Fini.
So, that night, Tapu Fini was followed by a shadow. No matter where Tapu Fini went, Jigglypuff followed closely behind.
After being followed all night, Tapu Fini finally had to give up.
The next day, Charlie specially sent a set of figurines exactly like Sylveon's.
Poor Tapu Fini, Mu Li could even see dark circles under her dark eyes.
"You've really worked hard." Mu Li thanked her sincerely.
Tapu Fini rolled her eyes in annoyance, turned her back, and had no intention of talking to Mu Li.
The next day, the program team prepared some tourist spots for everyone to check in, and recorded a lot of material along the way.
Until the third day, the Kapu Islands celebration finally began.
