Chapter 38 - Chapter 38: Tournament(IV)

(3rd Person P.O.V)

An hour later, everyone who was watching streams in Twitch,YouTube, and other streaming platforms, suddenly found the stream they were watching replaced by an unknown stream.

The stream has not started yet as it showed a looping red and white ball, which is the PokeBall, rolling around and when it stopped a Pikachu tumbled out of the PokeBall.

Said Pikachu will later get caught by the same PokeBall as it looked around in confusion.

Not long after, two familiar faces of the Vtuber world showed themselves.

"BAU BAU!"

"BAU BAU!"

Fuwawa and Moco-chan, the twin vtubers showed themselves while waving at the camera.

"FUWAMOCO here! welcoming everyone, for the first ever [Pokemon Tournament] and [Battle Debut] hosted by none other than the [Pokemon Pet Shop]].

The audience sitting in the arena, watching the stream on the giant screen cheered.

Some knew the two, while some didn't, but everyone cheered nonetheless.

"Right! Moco-chan! We are live today, for one simple reason! To share to the world the bonds with our partner Pokemon, and of course the battling skills that we have developed!"

"Now everyone! Say hi to the Millions of viewers !!"

*CHEEERS*

"Humu! Now, our viewers might be confused on what this is about, and some might even be pissed that the videos they are watching got replaced by our Livestream, but don't fret! As everything you will see in this tournament will blow your socks of!"

[DunkMasterJohn:Oh my! Fuwamoco?!]

[HoneyMyLoveSoSweet: Holy shawarma! Why is Fuwamoco streaming for this unknown channel?

[NeverGonnaGiveYouUp:Right Right! We're really curious, isn't that right guys?!]

[*****:YEA!]

[*****:YESSS!]

…..

.....

"Look! Fuwawa! Our viewers are curious, so should we answer?"

"Of course Moco-chan! Making our viewers guess would be mean! Plus! He did say that we should just have fun and enjoy the stream!"

[NeverGonnaGiveYouUp:He?]

[DunkMasterJohn:Yagoo?]

[HoneyMyLoveSoSweet:Hmm?]

[NOT_Yagoo★: Not me.]

[****:!!!

[HoneyMyLoveSoSweet:!!! Yagoo?!]

[DunkMasterJohn: Eh?]

…..

"Ah! Yagoo! BAU! BAU!"

"Hello Yagoo!"

[NOT_Yagoo★: Hello girls, Why don't you answer them? Im a bit busy so I'll go for now, thank you for your support everyone]

[NeverGonnaGiveYouUp:It really was Yagoo?]

..

….

"Yes It was!"

"Yeaaah!"

"Anyways, shall we, Fuwawa?" Moco-chan looked at her sister with a smile

"Yes!" Responded Fuwawa with a sunny smile of her own.

Suddenly, The background of Fuwamoco changed, showing an image of Hololive and the Pokemon Pet shop with an X in the middle of them.

""Tadaa!"" The two said at the same time.

"As you may have seen by now, this is a Collaboration between the [Pokemon Pet Shop] and [Hololive!]" Moco-chan announced in an upbeat voice.

"That's right! It's not just us collaborating with the Shop, it's the whole Hololive company!" Added Fuwawa in her own happy tone.

"Yes! So it's not just us that will be shown in this stream today, everyone may or may not be shown in the stream!" Said Moco-chan.

"Mhm! From Japan to Indonesia, everyone will be shown! And there will be even surprise guests so be sure to stick around!"

[ThePOGChamp:WOAAAAAAHHHH!!"

[DunkMasterJohn: This is interesting. I never thought Hololive will Collab with other company]

[HoneyMyLoveSoSweet:I know right?! I'm excited to see the others!]

[NeverGonnaGiveYouUp:Hmmm, I'm more curious about the guests.]

..

….

"Well, you guys better stick around! Ah! We're getting sidetracked, let's talk about the Pokemon Tournament! If you would, Fuwawa"

Fuwawa Nodded and explained.

"Right! The tournament will consist of two categories, Singles and Double Battles, and who will be facing who will be decided by a random draw!.

We Start with the Double Battles which will be Elimination type, the last team standing will win!."

Moco-chan continued

"The Singles will be similar, 1v1 battles in elimination rounds and whoever wins will receive the grand prize! Also, Each Trainer will only be allowed to use one Pokemon each. And once the battles are finished, the Pokemon will be sent to the PokeCenter to be healed of their injuries and regain stamina."

"And as for the prize!"

*Drum roll~*

"Tadaa!" A list of prices was shown besides the two.

"For the Double Battles, The prize for the third place will be… Two Green quality Pokemon eggs, a Rotom-phone for the two, and lastly, a set of low-class evolution stones!"

*CHEEERS* Everyone cheered from the Arena audience as they knew how valuable they are since Zeke and Siesta decided to place an Information Booklet each seat containing some not-so important items like the evolution stones and the herbs/berries.

Their effects on both humans and Pokemon.

Meanwhile, the Stream Audience was confused and Fuwawa and Moco-chan noticed this so they smiled and said.

"You guys must be confused, so we, or rather the Pokemon Pet Store have provided a link to download a PDF file containing the information about the Pokemon along with the items and their effects in there"

"Mhm! You guys should check it out because it will shock you! Just like it shocked us! And if you are doubtful about its Info, then stick around as this entire Tournament is proof of their authenticity!"

"And now! Let us Introduce to you all our first special guest! one of the two people responsible for this tournament, and will be our commentator for the day!"

*Drum Roll~*

Suddenly, a door opened behind Fuwamoco's backs before it opened and a Silver haired girl with blue eyes entered and waved.

The viewers didn't mind as Vtubers normally does this from time to time.

"Hello everyone~!" Sista said in an upbeat voice before hugging Fuwawa and Moco-chan.

"You two are adorable as always Fuwawa, Moco-chan"

"Uuu, you're super adorable too, siesta."

"She's right, your shining silver hair is so gorgeous" Moco-chan said while lifting Siesta's hair, which she didn't mind.

Although, the viewers would beg to differ.

[DunkMasterJohn: !!!!]

[NeverGonnaGiveYouUp: How can you touch her hair?!]

[HoneyMyLoveSoSweet: What the heck!?How is that possible?!]

…..

....

"Look, Siesta, it seems that they noticed it"

Fuwawa smiled mysteriously.

"Fufu! It's related to a Pokemin But I will not tell them. Since it's almost time for the start!" Siesta replied which made the viewers complain but she didn't budge.

As for the real reason? It was none other than mew! Who had effectively made all the hololive girls look the same as their avatar temporarily.

"AHEM! So, I'm here today to finally announce the start of the tournament! So, Good luck everyone! And may the Pokemon of Victory watch over you in your battles! Although, before that, The shop had prepared an exhibition match to start!"

Siesta raised her hand, and pointed it towards the arena.

"In the right corner! Our Store's Very own Ghost-type Pokemon specialist! Mr.Andre!!"

*CHEERS* The crowd went wild as Andre, who wore the standard Trainer Uniform(Red's) but with the color violet being the vest's main color palette.

His inner shirt was black, while the cargo pants remained the same beige color. Which Andre really never wore outside, but The shopkeeper asked him to wear it, and as an employee he had to comply.

Aside from his eye-catching clothes,what greatly attracts others attention is the floating ball of gas beside him.

"Ghaassst!" "Gastly", voiced proudly, announcing his and his trainer's arrival.

"Hohoo~ He may look gloomy but I assure you that this battle will be exciting and surprising! So, without further Ado! Let's cheer for the second trainer! Our Generalist trainer! Mr.Jason!!!"

*CHEEERS*

The crowd went wild once more, as Jason, wearing the standard red Trainer Uniform walked out and Into the arena.

The two trainers faced each other on each side of the arena and smiled, excitement could be felt and seen on their faces as they awaited for when the battle would start.

*FWWWWTTTT!* Suddenly, the sound of a whistle echoed all around the arena, prompting the Audience to be quiet, as the figure of Shirogane Noel wearing a Referee uniform was shown on the TV.

"The Exhibition battle between Mr.Andre and Mr.Jason will now be commencing! This will be a one-on-one match! Each trainer must send one Pokemon and the Pokemon that remains standing at the end, while also making the other side faint wins!" Noel announced with a professional voice before looking at the two Trainers and nodding and afterwards exclaiming.

"Trainers! Bring out your Pokemon!"

"I choose you! Greavard!"

"Go! Snover!"

The two shouted simultaneously while throwing a PokeBall over their head, which opened a split second later and spitting out a white light which later materialized into a Snover and a Greavard respectively.

"Look at that! Mr.Andre picked Greavard,the Ghost Dog Pokemon! And a Pure ghost type!

While on the other side, Mr.Jason sent out his partner, Snover! Also known as The Frost Tree Pokemon, a Grass/Ice dual type!" Explained Siesta, while ignoring the comments still asking how Fuwawa and Moco-chan were real.

"Siesta-Sensei! Who do you think will have a higher chance of winning this battle?"

"Hmmmm, It will be quite difficult to choose, as I haven't seen either of them battle before, but if we're basing it on who had trained their partner more, I'm giving my bet to Andre, afterall, he is our first ever customer." Siesta replied seriously, even revealing how Andre is the first customer.

Of course, it was approved by Andre beforehand as she had asked if it was fine.

"But enough of this, let's focus on the fight for now!" Siesta huffed, and just as she finished saying that, the two trainers did their first move.

"Greavard! Will-o'-the-wisp!" Andre called, and in response 3 ghastly purple colored flames materialized from the candle of Greavard's head which flew in high speeds towards Snover.

"Counter using Icy wind!" Jason exclaimed, and Snover followed suit as it blasts a flurry of wind full of ice shard towards the will-o'-the-wisp, trying to stop its advance.

It worked as both moves canceled each other.

"I guess you aren't so bad afterall" Andre taunted with a smirk.

But Andre just stared at him calmly before smiling. "You're not bad yourself, but we'll get serious now."

"Snover! Activate your ability!"Jason exclaims, and Snover nodded.

"SNOOOOOOO~!" Snover shouted and suddenly, black clouds started to gather on top of the arena before it suddenly started snowing.

Strong winds followed the snow, turning the snow into a hailstorm, albeit a bit weaker.

Nonetheless, a snow storm was a snowstorm, making snover having a massive advantage as the arena had effectively become its domain.

The Audience, from the arena, into everyone watching the stream gasped, seeing this miraculous display of changing the weather.

And people didn't know who started it, but one person cheered after they got out of their stupor, and their cheer woke up the others who followed suit.

And not long after, every audience in the arena cheered loudly. Meanwhile, the stream was flooded with messages from everyone watching, as they cheered and expressed their disbelief upon this magnificent display.

"Behold! The move that Snover and I had painstakingly tried to master!" Jason announced proudly, his voice echoing throughout the entire arena, making everyone cheer once again.

Meanwhile, various high standing people around the words who were watching the stream suddenly had their eyes gleamed after seeing this as they realized the endless possibilities these creatures may show.

Greed had slowly but surely taken over them as some country leaders/ major company owners asked their men to find all the information they could find on the two in the arena and the creatures they commanded.

Going back to the arena, Seeing this hailstorm, Andre's eyes twitched as he released a sigh, before he suddenly chuckled.

"Very good! That's how it should be! I'm glad that the person the ShopKeeper chose as my Junior is this skilled!" Andre exclaimed proudly! His face showed genuine happiness as he realized that he might actually get some rivals even with his advantage of being the first person to obtain a Pokemon.

Chitoge would be another Rival one could consider, but she had chosen the path of being a coordinator so for Andre, Chitoge would be a bit weaker than him who was fully focused on training his two Pokemon to their limits.

Especially so, since he had gotten two Pokemon who could battle each other as training, unlike Chitoge who had gotten a rather weak pokemon, Feebas. Along with Grookey.

"Now! Since you have shown your card! Let me show mine as well! Zorua! Use phantom force!" Andre exclaimed, making everyone but Zeke confused.

"Ha! Who knew this guy was actually using Zorua's innate ability to turn Greavard into Zorua while Zorua turned into Greavard. And heck! Phantom Force?" Zeke chuckled, confusing the quintuplets, Ryuuko, and Shiba.

But Zeke refused to explain and just said.

"Just wait"

In the arena, Greavard's form suddenly shifted into that of a fox-like figure before it suddenly disappeared before it could fully show its full body.

Meanwhile, the Zorua on Andre's shoulder suddenly changed into that of Greavard who floated down after Andre gave it some pats.

Jason's eyes tensed as he warned Snover to be careful.

Everyone awaited with a baited breath wondering what would happen, and not long after they finally knew, as Zorua in his entirety, materialized behind Snover back, its body fully covered in ghastly purple aura.

"Watch ou-!" Before Jason could warn Snover, Zorua had already pounced and hit Zorua's back, sending Snover skidding across the arena amidst the Audience's hissess.

"Snover!?" Jason called out worriedly, and when he saw Snover standing up with difficulty, Jason sighed in relief before saying.

"Alright! It's now or never! Snover! Weather ball! Full power!"

Snovers eyes suddenly sharpened as it heaved once again.

"SNOOOO!!"

The hail suddenly stopped and when everyone looked up, the Clouds responsible for the weather had started to gather around and getting compressed into a cloud of ball releasing fizzy sounds as the cold had been compressed into that one massive ball.

Everyone gulped as they watched the ball getting smaller and smaller, even Andre looked at this with amazement and a little bit of nervousness but he smiled.

The reason?

Well, As Snover had almost finished preparing its move, it suddenly growled in pain before falling down and passing out.

Making the ball made of clouds disappear into a harmless snow powder that fell into the arena.

It turned out that Aside from Phantom Force, Zorua had actually used curse as well, sacrificing half of it's Stamina in exchange for a continuous damage against the opponent, which is Snover in this scenario.

And as for Zorua? After using two consecutive moves, Andre asked it to use Rest, as even though Zorua looked spotless, in reality, Phantom force, along with Curse had basically drained all of Zorua's energy.

Afterall, despite the flashiness of the moves, the stamina and Type Energy used to execute those moves were massive as Zorua is still at the Rookie level.

And phantom force is normally used by ghost types of Veteran stage at the very least.

Meanwhile, The Audiences(both in the arena and stream) and Staffs(Hololive Girls) looked at the knocked out Snover, stunned as all of them had been effectively robbed of their wish to see the effects of the massive Weather Ball that Snover wanted to execute.

"Snover is knocked out! Zorua is the winner! Which means this exhibition match goes to Andre's win!" Shirogane Noel, Exclaimed after she got out of her own stupor.

Hearing her words, the audience finally realized what had happened, and suddenly, cheers erupted throughout the Arena.

Because, while there were only a hundred or so customers that had bought a Pokemon, and even more lower who registered for the tournament.

The rest of the customers had come to watch the fight, bringing their family along as a Plus one, with Zeke's permission of course.

Afterall, Nobody will be hurt inside the Farm, except of course those fighting in the Arena themselves.

And as for those that wanted to take this chance to steal the eggs as well as the items inside the daycare and the Pokemart/PokeCenter, well .. they couldn't even do it, as each entrance of the building was guarded by Vespiqueen, Vikavolt, and Onix/Ditto respectively.

And as for the windows they are basically nigh indestructible, and would only be destroyed if a Pokemon of an elite tier attacks it.
