Pokémon, something's wrong with my Pokémon.

Honestly, the registration staff were green with envy!

"Yes!" the crowd replied.

"Very good, your registration has been completed successfully. Please take this." The registration staff handed Lin Xi a card.

"What is this?" Tomoko asked, holding the card with some confusion.

"These are the cards you'll need at the ball later. You can also rent ball costumes over there, please!" the registration staff explained, pointing to a doorway.

The changing area was truly befitting of a banquet hosted by Pierre; a wide variety of exquisite clothing, bags, and shoes were displayed on the counter for customers to choose from.

Lin Xi hadn't expected the organizers to be so wealthy, although she herself wasn't short of money.

"Wow, the number of dresses is amazing!" Mirufei exclaimed in amazement at the sheer number of dresses before her.

"Yes," Serena nodded in agreement.

Ma Xiu felt it was alright, after all, she was a top fashion designer.

"I've decided! I'm going to try on all the beautiful dresses! This one's nice, this one's nice too, and this one and this one too… Ah, those over there look good too!" Mi Rufei grabbed dresses from the counter, tossed them to Li Linxi, and then ran to the other counter.

Lin Xi: ?

He finally understood why this woman couldn't find a male companion!

"Mirufi is really enthusiastic." Serena watched this scene and immediately pulled Lin Xi away, completely disregarding Lin Xi's feelings about changing clothes. After all, she had seen everything since she was already in love.

"Serena, what do you think of this dress?" Lin Xi turned to Serena, standing in front of the exquisite white dress.

"Huh..." Serena looked at Lin Xi in surprise, not expecting him to have such good taste!

"I think Serena would look amazing in this." Tomoko looked at Serena with a hint of envy, after all, Serena had a truly stunning figure!

"Wow, it's so beautiful! Serena will definitely stun everyone in it," Ma Xiu exclaimed, admiring the dress Lin Xi had chosen.

Recognition from top fashion designers!

"It's not that exaggerated," Serena said shyly.

"Try it on, I think this dress would suit Serena really well." Actually, Lin Xi wanted to see...

“Okay, I’ll give it a try! Lin Xi, you come with me too,” Serena nodded, looking at the dresses in the display case.

A while later, Serena emerged from the dressing room, her pristine white gown immediately drawing the attention of everyone in the hall. However, they were somewhat disappointed to see her arm around Lin Xi.

"Wow, Serena is so beautiful!" Yulijia, who was visiting, was the first to snap out of her daze and exclaim in admiration as she looked at Serena.

"Ah, thank you," Serena said, still a little shy, even on the bed.

The black suit made Lin Xi's figure appear even more upright.

The girls in the room looked at Lin Xi with hearts in their eyes.

"Lin Xi, your tie is too tight. It would be better if it were a little looser, and you don't need to button it all the way up. Leaving it slightly open would look more casual." Ma Xiu stepped forward to straighten Lin Xi's dress.

This is where the professionalism of Ma embroidery truly shines.

"Found it, found it! Sorry to keep you waiting." Mi Rufei rushed to Lin Xi in a hurry.

"Um, Lin Xi, Serena, are you planning to hold your wedding here dressed like this?" Mirufei commented, looking at their attire.

"No...no way!" Serena's face turned bright red.

"Hmm, but your outfits are very well coordinated," Mi Rufei praised again.

Suddenly the lights went out, and just as everyone was at a loss, two spotlights shone down, and Pierre led his son out through the door.

"It's Miss Aier!" Yulijia, sitting in the audience, exclaimed excitedly as she looked at Miss Aier under the spotlight. This was a superstar, Queen Carlos!

"Ladies and gentlemen, thank you all for attending my banquet today. Please allow me to introduce our special guest, Queen Carlos—Miss Aier," Pierre said, looking at the crowd in the hall.

"Everyone, thank you so much for coming! I hope you all have a great time today." After scanning the crowd, Ai'er spotted Lin Xi and couldn't take her eyes off her!

Then, without thinking, Ai'er walked towards Lin Xi, extended her right hand, and asked, "May I dance with you?"

"Of course," Lin Xi gently grasped her beloved son's small, delicate hand.

Next, the two slowly walked to the center of the hall and began to dance. Aier's swaying movements under the spotlight attracted the attention of everyone in the hall.

At this moment, the man envied Lin Xi, and the woman envied Ai'er.

"Wow, Miss Aier is so beautiful!" Yulijia exclaimed, looking at Miss Aier in the center of the stage.

“Yes, that person is my goal. One day, I want to stand on the same stage as him.” Mirufei looked at her beloved daughter under the spotlight.

Serena was somewhat speechless. "Why are you, Queen Carlos, trying to steal our men?"

When the dance ended, the lights in the hall came back on, and the two bowed to the crowd.

"Distinguished guests, now it's time for your much-anticipated free time. Please enjoy the music and have a pleasant time," Pierre said, looking at everyone and beginning the activities.

Chapter 269 Garchomp Evolves!

After elegant music filled the hall, the lights dimmed again, and several spotlights shone on the center of the hall.

Serena placed her hand in Lin Xi's, and Lin Xi pulled Serena onto the dance floor to begin dancing. Strangely, Lin Xi seemed to have learned the moves before, and she and Serena danced quite well in the center of the dance floor.

"Lin Xi, have you ever studied dance?" Serena looked at him with some concern, mainly worried that Lin Xi would embarrass himself.

"Yes, my mother taught me some basic social dances before." Lin Xi nodded. As the young patriarch of the Lin family, she must know a little bit about everything!

Serena grasped the key point: Lin Xi's mother, her mother-in-law!

It seems I'll have to visit him sometime in the future.

The others danced one by one.

Lin Xi's preparations, however, require queuing...

Serena is off, Tomoko is on, Tomoko is off, Ma Xiu is on, Ma Xiu is off, Milufei is on, Milufei is off, Serena is on.

Lin Xi felt exhausted. Although she could rub against the bear occasionally, the constant rubbing was truly tiring!

The music stopped, the hall was lit up again, and everyone stopped dancing and looked at Pierre on the steps.

"The relaxing time is coming to an end soon, so let's bring the ball to its climax with a seductive doubles match," Pierre said, waving his wand and looking at the crowd below.

"Uh, there are Pokémon battles too?" Bonnie asked in surprise. Wasn't this just a relaxing dance party?

"The participants in the battle will be determined by drawing lots. Please align the cards distributed at the front desk with the chandelier above your heads. The person whose card displays a mark is the challenger," Pierre said, holding up a card.

"Is this it? Hmm, it looks like something!" Tomoko took out the card from her pocket and held it up to the light. A crown pattern appeared on the card.

At this moment, a crown pattern also appeared on the card in Mi Lufei's hand.

Lin Xi and Serena's opponents are none other than Tomoko and her friend.

Lin Xi was speechless. With only four cards available, the five of them had drawn four. Was this some kind of cheating?

"Alright, it seems both sides are ready. Let the battle begin," Pierre announced from the high platform.

"Pikachu, use Iron Tail on Garchomp!" Tomoko shouted to Pikachu, her enthusiasm ignited. Since Lin Xi was using Garchomp, she had a chance!

"Such speed, but it can withstand a double strike." Lin Xi's face darkened slightly. Was Pikachu finally giving up on the act?

Pikachu charged at Garchomp, but Garchomp's hands flashed with emerald light, successfully deflecting Pikachu's Iron Tail.

"Fat Sweetie, use the Energy Ball."

"Flame-eared Fox, use Flamethrower."

Serena and Milufei also started fighting.

Fat Sweetie adjusted her position in mid-air and fired a green energy ball at Pikachu on the ground, which was blocked by a flame.

"Double Chop"

Sonoko's "Explosive Fist" suddenly made Pikachu use a new skill.

That's right, this new skill is all thanks to Lin Xi's learning machine.

Garchomp, its arms gleaming with metallic light, swooped down towards Pikachu, who retaliated by swinging its fist, enveloped in red energy, at Garchomp's head.

Both were incredibly fast, and given the short distance, they quickly closed the gap. Just as their two signature moves were about to clash, Pikachu suddenly raised its tail.

Pikachu dodged the double swipe! With a flick of its tail, the heart-shaped tail sprang into the air like a spring.

"Just like that, accelerate with high-speed movement! Then unleash a devastating punch!" Tomoko waved her little hand.

Upon hearing Tomoko's command, Pikachu's body, suspended in mid-air, flashed a white light and plummeted down like a meteor, its red-glowing fist slamming into Garchomp, who had just turned around and was too caught off guard to react.

Pikachu's tiny fist possessed unparalleled power; a fierce force emanating from Scyther stirred up dust and smoke.

As the smoke cleared, Garchomp was unharmed; in the moment of crisis, Garchomp had used Protect.

"Garuda! Swords Dance!" Lin Xi gradually became serious as well.

Enveloped in smoke and dust, Garchomp leaped up, raised its paws, and spun around. A whirlwind of smoke and dust rose from Garchomp, forming a vortex around it.

Garchomp stared menacingly at Pikachu.

Suddenly, Garchomp let out a loud roar, and its whole body burst into a bright and dazzling white light!

With a loud dragon roar, its entire body burst forth with a dazzling white light!

Enveloped in white light, Garchomp's body began to rapidly expand and change, its domineering and powerful aura growing ever stronger.
