Chapter 46: Day 46 of Cultivation
Chapter 46
Because Gojo Satoru's appearance and his... unique way of dressing were so eye-catching, the people in the audience were so uncomfortable that they dug their toes into the ground and their faces contorted.
So weird, take another look.
"Mom and Dad, what is that big brother wearing? Why have I never seen him before?" A child raised his head curiously, with an extremely clear and innocent look in his eyes as he asked the question.
"..." The couple felt a mix of emotions and had to change the subject. "Be good, baby, that's a weirdo. Don't imitate him."
The child persisted, "So what kind of clothes are these? They can hold so many bananas! They're so impressive! Can I wear clothes like that to hold my stationery in the future?"
The couple and most of the surrounding audience immediately looked at the child and shouted, "No!!!"
Child: QAQ
The child, feeling aggrieved, spoke the key point in a very childish voice, "But...but aren't they competing with us for the power of faith in Tianyuan-sama? If we lose, will they change all the cultists' uniforms to look like the one worn by that big brother?"
"I just want to know in advance..."
The livestream just happened to switch to a scene where Gojo Satoru was posing seductively while clutching a banana (?), attracting a large number of monkeys. The believers imagined a scene where everyone was dressed in bunny girl costumes and fell silent: "..."
Even when it comes to believing in Master Tianyuan, there are as many reasons for this belief as there are people in the Panxing Sect. Some do it for money, some for spiritual sustenance, and some simply because they've been taught this way since birth...
And at this moment, their minds have never been so united.
You absolutely cannot lose! You absolutely cannot wear that kind of clothes!
"Ah, I found it." Gojo Satoru took off his sunglasses and accurately found the one with the highest initial attributes among the monkeys that gathered around him.
He casually threw the bananas to the ground to the side, and the monkeys diverted their attention and rushed there. Gojo Satoru threw the Poké Ball towards the middle!
【Congratulations on getting a Pokémon. Please name it.】h
Gojo Satoru said briskly, "Let's just call you Sonoda Shigeru."
[Okay, your Pokémon's name has been changed to: Sonoda Shigeru.]
Team B's fifth player, Panxingjiao's acting director, Shigeru Sonoda, who was watching the game from a distance, had a ferocious look on his face.
Sonoda Shigeru: You're a good sorcerer, so this is how you play it :)
He secretly moved his fingers in the waiting area, and the assistant beside him quickly received the hint, quietly retreated into the shadows, and began to send messages to Fujita on the field.
Yes, Team B, led by Shigeru Sonoda, is cheating collectively.
Shigeru Sonoda thought this way: The sorcerers have so many strange abilities, and even if the Pokémon competition makes their abilities useless, they still have an advantage in some details.
For example, Team A's number one player, Kanako, has a suffocating physical fitness that is so terrifying, and extraordinary strength and speed. As long as she wants, she can snatch the best Pokémon in the entire field at any time.
It was such a person who was chosen to appear first. Shigeru Sonoda told his people: Don't panic, it's not a big problem, just listen to him slowly.
The process of the Pokémon Tournament must start with both parties having Pokémon, so you can set a trap for the opponent in the first step.
At this time, I have to use a trick that will harm him and benefit myself: I can't guarantee that the monkey I have will be the one with the highest attribute value, but I can guarantee that your monkey will be worse than mine.
The next step is to put the idea into practice.
In fact, they still have a trump card.
The House of the Son of Stars at the headquarters of the Panxing Cult can be said to be the territory of Shigeru Sonoda and his men. They have mastered more intelligence about the environment near the territory, especially the jungle back mountain area where the stadium is located.
And most importantly, as the number one player of Team B, Fujita has a very good relationship with the monkeys!
It all started half a year ago when Fujita, the gatekeeper, took a break and went to the back mountain for a walk to relax.
Fujita discovered that there were two monkey gathering places in the back mountain. Occasionally, he would bring some leftover fruits from offerings over there and became familiar with the monkeys in this area. The trust and friendship accumulated over the past six months enabled him to recruit some of the monkeys as his Pokémon partners without paying any extra cost.
At the same time, there is only one empty Poké Ball left.
Originally, Sonoda Shigeru ordered Fujita to select a monkey that was so weak that it had no power to resist and put it into a Poké Ball, but the ever-changing situation on the field caused Fujita to skip this step.
The assistant sent the location and the latest information via text message: Kanako's location, a monkey who was knocked unconscious and couldn't wake up for a long time.
It just so happened that it was Kanako who knocked it out herself, so when the time comes, it will definitely be judged as her Pokémon... In this way, she would be harming herself.
Amid Fujita's increasingly arrogant laughter, Shigeya Sonoda, who assisted him in cheating, showed the same expression as Light Yagami when he recovered his memory on the helicopter in "Death X Note".
"Come out quickly, guys from Team B, let's have a good Pokémon competition." Gojo Satoru wandered leisurely in the jungle and called out, seemingly challenging all the players of the Bankei Cult equally, but in fact he simply forgot Fujita's name.
As soon as he finished speaking, his figure disappeared from the spot.
The system explained passionately, "Oh my! Team A's second player, Gojo Satoru, disappeared after capturing a Pokémon. Could it be that they're planning a sneak attack?"
"Then let's keep the footage moving... Camera Crow, Camera Crow, help!" the system howled.
The crow flying in the sky flapped its wings, and the picture in the live broadcast room suddenly disconnected.
The perspective of Team A on the left side of the entire big screen suddenly turned pitch black, while the perspective of Team B on the right side was still lit, but the viewing experience was very poor and people could not see the situation there clearly.
The camera shaking frequency of Fujita's camera increased rapidly, as if the crow flew into an area with dense branches and leaves.
The abnormal jitter did not disappear until ten seconds later.
The left and right sides of the screen merged into one whole again, and when Gojo Satoru reappeared, he was already standing in front of Fujita.
Gojo Satoru's sudden appearance was so silent that Fujita broke out in a cold sweat.
Because just a second ago, he was holding his mobile phone, using the terrain advantage to avoid the camera of the Crow and watch the cheating information from his teammates.
Yes, there is no doubt that the most sophisticated cheating often uses the simplest method: avoiding the camera and reading mobile phone text messages.
"Wait...!" Fujita tried to stop Gojo Satoru from speaking.
Gojo Satoru didn't waste any time talking to him and just opened his mouth and said, "Let's challenge each other to a duel!"
The crow flew up to the sky at full speed, so tired that it lost a few feathers, and brought the electronic referee's voice: [Detected that both parties have at least one Pokémon, the challenge was successful.]
[The challenge begins, random results are generated, and Team A's Gojo Satoru chooses who will go first or second.]
Gojo Satoru: "Backhand."
Fujita: “Huh?”
This surprised him. Fujita was certain that compared to Gojo Satoru's "Sonoda Shigeru" and his "Monke", "Sonoda Shigeru" (System: Enough of repeating this strange name!) was definitely superior.
He actually chose to go second... So that's what he understood. He couldn't attack if he went first. It seemed that Gojo Satoru was anxious and wanted to kill him instantly in the first round.
Unfortunately, Fujita will not let him succeed easily.
"Monke, come down," Fujita said, "I need to bring in a new Pokémon."
【Please select the Pokémon you want to replace.】
"It's decided to be you, Tank Number One!"
A baby monkey jumped down from the tree branch behind him.
The monkey cub obviously didn't know what he was facing. He just thought it was fun and stepped onto the Pokémon battlefield.
Gojo Satoru's expression immediately darkened. "This battle mode and the way you named them... Hey."
"Are you... planning to sacrifice your Pokémon companions?" Gojo Satoru smacked his lips.
Fujita smiled and said, "So what? Are you afraid to do it?"
The monkey cub felt a little bored and rolled around in the mud. Then he got up, stared into Gojo Satoru's eyes, and clapped his hands.
"How could that be? I was just sighing over your beastly nature... Ah, that's a bit insulting to the beasts." Gojo Satoru said, explaining his turn. "Attack."
Unexpectedly, an accident happened again.
Gojo Satoru's Pokémon, Sonoda Shigeru, stopped moving.
It suddenly seemed to be frozen in place, and after a while it uttered a few loud cries.
The monkey on the opposite side seemed to be responding to it and started shouting too.
Gojo Satoru and the audience: "Huh?"
Fujita: “Hmph.”
The gold medal commentator was confused: "What are you saying...ahhhh I don't know, I haven't studied monkey language!!"
Jialiu Glass: "Download the plug-in installation package."
"Do you think I'm a computer? How could something like this possibly work—" The system paused, "Wait, it seems so."
"Although I haven't learned it, there is a quick tutorial on monkey language in the system's shared knowledge base. Please wait a moment."
"Okay, Mingming, I'll transfer the downloaded plug-in to the instrument..."
Geto Suguru, who had been watching the scene until now, gave up thinking: It turns out that it can really be done!
After the referee's electronic voice loaded for a while, it successfully downloaded the translation function and immediately got to work.
"Sonoda Shigeru": "Are you... Xiaodou from the village head next door?"
"Tan Shield Number One," or the monkey cub known as Xiaodou: "Yes, that's right. Who are you?"
"Sonoda Shigeru" was silent for a moment, lost in reminiscence: "If I remember correctly, your mother Cuihua is my good sister."
"Do you know my mother?" asked the monkey cub Xiaodou.
"So many years have passed..." it said sadly, "My memories are still stuck on the days when your mother and I were training with the Monkey King."
"She and I are the only two good monkeys of this generation. The Monkey King once promised that we two monkeys would definitely inherit her legacy."
"Unfortunately, fate played tricks on us... Environmental pollution didn't kill us, and we led our troops to disrupt excessive logging, and eventually drove them all out."
Its voice became increasingly high-pitched. "But, but it was 'our own monkey' who ultimately separated your mother and me."
"The Monkey King is the symbol of our monkey group's strength. She is kind and helpful to all monkeys, and never uses her power to put us down... But her tolerance and kindness are interpreted as cowardice and incompetence by the foolish monkeys below."
"One day, a war broke out among the monkeys. A foolish monkey led his followers to force the monkey king to abdicate. For a time, the monkeys were in a panic. We all knew that whether we agreed or not, the final outcome would not be good for the monkeys."
"So, the Monkey King chose the best path for all the monkeys. She fought alone against dozens of them, single-handedly killing all the foolish monkeys in the decisive battle before she herself died of exhaustion."
"From that day on, the monkeys were leaderless. Fearful and divided, they gradually split into two groups due to disagreements. One group, which is the group I currently belong to, still supports the Monkey King's ideals and shuns humans."
"The other faction is strongly opposed to violence and war. They can only accept Pokémon battles, so they are naturally close to human trainers."
System: "Wait, how did the story actually turn to Pokémon? I thought it was about the history of monkeys, but it turned out to be the history of Pokémon!?"
The monkey cub Xiaodou lowered his head: "...So that's how it is."
"Sonoda Shigeru": "How is your mother doing recently?"
Xiaodou: "She has been dead for many months."
"ah……"
"She told me about you. Actually, she never really belonged to any faction," Xiaodou said. "She's always been working hard to unify the two factions and return to her hometown."
"I heard from the elder monkeys in the tribe that she has found a way to achieve her wish most easily. That is to elect a new Monkey King who inherits the ideals of the previous Monkey King and is also ruthless and merciless."
"...Is that so? That's truly an unattainable dream." It cried softly, "I don't want to fight you. Bullying the weak is not a fair victory. I surrender."
[Team A's second player, Gojo Satoru, has his Pokémon, Sonoda Shigeru, concede defeat.]
Gojo Satoru immediately typed a question mark: "?"
He listened to the whole story and was caught in the crossfire: "Why should its voluntary admission of defeat count? Doesn't that mean we've automatically admitted defeat?"
【Because we always respect Pokémon's own ideas.】
Fujita couldn't stop laughing: "Hahahaha, sorcerers, you guys have come to this day!!!"
Soon, he couldn't laugh anymore.
He saw that in the jungle right in front of him, sharp-eyed monkeys appeared one after another from tree branches, rocks, and mud. He didn't know when.
Those monkeys were different from the monkeys he had fed before, and Fujita remembered the words in the story: "One group avoids humans, while the other group is close to humans."
So, before the battle between him and Gojo Satoru began, all the monkey groups that showed up and were willing to participate in the Pokémon arena belonged to the latter, while the former, who had been in seclusion for a long time, only began to appear in everyone's sight at this moment.
With their racial values of advocating the use of force, they are stronger and more aggressive.
Fujita thought to himself that this was not good. He quickly shouted to the referee, "Team A's second contestant is out of Pokémon! Hurry up and announce the winner!"
"Who said he has no Pokémon?"
A chorus of monkey calls rang out, like the beating of some kind of drum, and the monkeys consciously lined up in two rows, leaving a path in the middle.
Someone walked barefoot along the road, step by step, with light and powerful steps, and soon came to the center of the monkey group. All the monkeys showed awe and respect to her. She wore a wreath made of leaves and petals next to her shaking ahoge.
"Listen, from today on, I am the new Monkey King of the jungle area in the back mountains. I am the owner of this land. I will use my power to protect this land and all life!"
"Now, cheer for my arrival!" Kanako spread her arms.
Fujita: "..."
Gojo Satoru: "...Kanako?"
Fujita looked at Crow silently: "How can an eliminated contestant continue to join the battle?"
"Shut up! Who Kanako is has nothing to do with me." Kanako blinked, "I am the new Monkey King who inherited the will of the old Monkey King. I am recognized by all the monkey people!"
Electronic Judge: [Agreed. We always respect Pokémon's own ideas.]
She raised her head and looked at the electronic device at Crow's feet: "Let me ask you, am I human?"
The mechanical electronic voice struggled for two seconds before giving up: "No."
Kanako patiently coaxed: "I am neither Kanako, the number one player of Team A, nor a human being, so who am I?"
"You are the new Monkey King of the Monkey Tribe in the Pokémon Back Mountain Jungle Area, with a Pro Max version of racial values and attribute bonuses." The referee was stunned on the spot.
"Join the battlefield! Launch the attack!"
【Monke fell! 】
[All of Team B's number one player, Shikato Fujita's Pokémon, have surrendered.]
[You have no Pokémon to battle.]
[Team A's second player, Gojo Satoru, wins.]
Fujita fell to his knees.
The system leaped up and said, "Great! You're truly worthy of being the Monkey King! Team A has come back from a disadvantage to become the dominant force. What an exciting battle!"
Ieichi Glass: "Yeah!"
Geto Suguru raised his finger tremblingly: "That...that's Kanako, not the Monkey King."
Ieiri Shoko joined in: "What are you talking about? They just look similar. Their true identity must be our new Pokémon Monkey King, who looks more like Kanako's Pro Max version."
In order to win, Geto Xia Yu no longer cared about anything else and admitted through gritted teeth: "Yes, that's right!"
"Come on! Monkey King!" he shouted.

I can't think of anything to say, so I'll leave it to you guys (buhi)
