Let you make animations and develop virtual Pokémon? Chapter 066

Ever since the Arceus Company announced that it would be holding a competition, the player growth rate for “Pokemon: Origins of Dream” had noticeably sped up.

This was a very normal phenomenon. When a game could host competitions, its social influence would far exceed the realm of mere entertainment, changing the player ecosystem on multiple levels.

Firstly, the most direct impact was on the economic level. The establishment of a competitive system would directly create a large number of employment opportunities, such as professional players, event commentators, content creators, and other emerging professions.

Furthermore, the game’s social attributes would be qualitatively improved. Hosting competitions not only strengthened the cohesion among players but also transformed a single-player experience into a collective carnival.

It could even attract a large number of viewers who originally did not play games, further expanding the game’s influence.

Time flew by, and five days had passed since Taozi won the triathlon.

November 10th!

The highly anticipated competitive event for all players – the Pokemon Master Peak Tournament! It had finally arrived!

Just from the prize pool, it was evident that the value of this event was much higher than that of the “Triathlon.”

Douhu Live Platform, Xiaofeng’s (live stream room).

In the Origin Lands, a gentle breeze swept through. Xiaofeng sat on the soft grass, quietly watching his Pokemon practice against each other.

After this period of preparation, the number of Pokemon he could use in battle had exceeded ten.

Venusaur, Dragonite, Snorlax, Vaporeon, Pidgeot, Primeape, Alakazam, Gengar, Gyarados, Tauros, Lapras.

【Triathlon (Ended)】

【Peak Duel Tournament ( 3 seconds until start)】

“ 2 seconds…”

“ 1 second…”

Xiaofeng silently counted down in his heart. When the last number fell, he stood up decisively.

At the exact same moment, a white-glowing portal appeared out of thin air.

【Master Peak Tournament! Points Match officially begins! Closing time – November 28th, 23:59.】

【Matching rules: The system will match players with equally matched opponents based on their current points.】

Xiaofeng walked to the portal, and a series of current data immediately appeared before his eyes.

【Player: Douhu-Xiaofeng】

【Current Points: 0】

【Current Rank: None (Rank will be calculated with points greater than 20)】

【Pokemon Selection: None (Can be changed at any time, currently only three can be selected)】

“Do I have 18 days to accumulate points?”

Xiaofeng muttered to himself, then turned to face his Pokemon and asked, “Who wants to go first? There are only three spots per battle.”

For the next 18 days of points matches, Xiaofeng wanted to let each of his Pokemon battle a few times to accumulate battle experience.

“Puhaha—!”

Primeape, who was originally sitting cross-legged, sprang up with a carp-like leap and walked towards Xiaofeng. This hot-tempered Pokemon was one of the first companions to follow Xiaofeng.

Immediately after, a purple figure drifted over.

“Genga—!”

Gengar revealed its signature sinister smile, its crimson eyes flickering with battle intent.

The remaining Pokemon exchanged glances, seemingly deferring the last battle opportunity.

Finally, “Moo—!” accompanied by a low roar, Tauros stomped its front hooves heavily on the ground and rushed forward with steady steps.

LV.57 Primeape

LV.54 Gengar

LV.52 Tauros

In fact, it was evident from their levels that these three Pokemon were not Xiaofeng’s main force.

Since capturing Mewtwo, and excluding the Legendary Birds and Mew, the only regular Pokemon Xiaofeng had been consistently leveling up were Venusaur, Dragonite, and Snorlax, whose levels were now almost reaching 70.

As for the other Pokemon, there was generally no extra time to level them up, and they mostly remained in their 50s.

However, the level cap for this competition happened to be level 50, so the level difference didn’t matter too much.

The only slight drawback was that Xiaofeng’s Gengar had not yet learned the move Dream Eater. But even so, it was more than enough to deal with ordinary players.

“Let’s go.”

He walked into the portal with the three Pokemon.

In an instant, a dizzying sensation swept over him. When his vision cleared again, he was already in a cozy resting room.

The three Pokemon had already entered the [Pokemon] virtual panel.

【Player “Douhu-Xiaofeng”, do you want to start matching?】

The system prompt sounded in his mind, and Xiaofeng responded without hesitation.

“Yes.”

【Matching…】

【Match successful!】

The matching time was less than a second, and Xiaofeng’s vision immediately went black.

When he opened his eyes again, he was already standing at one end of a certain battle arena.

Looking around, it was a circular arena that could accommodate tens of thousands of spectators, with tiered seating rising in layers around it.

The only drawback was that the spectator stands were empty.

Across from Xiaofeng, his matched opponent was staring wide-eyed at the magnificent arena.

ID: 【I am a Genshin Master】.

“Huya… Xiaofeng?!”

When he saw Xiaofeng’s ID, the Genshin Master’s pupils suddenly constricted, and his throat unconsciously bobbed.

【Huya-Xiaofeng】! This name, even if domestic Pokemon players hadn’t seen it, they had definitely heard of it.

The universally recognized number one in the Pokemon player community!

What kind of luck do I have! My very first points match, and I run into this big shot?!

The Genshin Master wailed inwardly, forcing out a strained smile and saying, “Brother Feng, I’m your fan. Can you… go easy on me later?”

Seeing his opponent immediately try to get close and ask for mercy, Xiaofeng smiled gently.

“Just battle normally. Relax. We’re all level 50. The outcome isn’t certain yet.”

“But I just started playing less than a month ago, I’m a complete newbie! Please go easy on me!” The Genshin Master clasped his hands together.

【Please, both players, release your first Pokemon.】

Just then, the system’s voice sounded in both their minds.

Xiaofeng lightly tapped the virtual panel, and a Poke Ball appeared in his palm.

The next second, two white lights flashed simultaneously on the field!

“Go, Charmeleon!”

“Tauros!”

LV.50 Charmeleon

LV.50 Tauros

“Moo—!”

The moment Tauros appeared, it stared directly at Charmeleon and let out a low growl, triggering its Intimidate ability!

Charmeleon was immediately scared and took two steps back, a blue aura appearing around it, its attack power weakened.

Looking at the pitiful Charmeleon, the audience in the live stream room burst out laughing. They didn’t expect Xiaofeng’s first match to be against a true beginner.

“He really is a newbie, Charmeleon even came out.”

“This guy is lucky, he’s about to be taught a lesson by Xiaofeng in his first points match.”

“In a way, he’s incredibly lucky, since he’s matched with Xiaofeng among at least tens of millions of people simultaneously.”

“Leaving everything else aside, a level 50 Charmeleon, that’s somewhat comical.”
