Chapter 171 Image? Not at all

Xia Huna, deciding to switch things up for the afternoon, took Guagua and Dianxi for a stroll around the city of Biyu. As they passed a cinema, Xia Huna's wheelchair halted. "A movie, 'Crimson and Azure's Emerald Nightmare'? This looks like fun, but it sounds a bit familiar."

Xia Huna turned to Dianxi and Guagua. "Shall we go check out this movie?"

Shedinja, inside its Poké Ball, thought, *This trainer forgot about me again.*

Guagua and Dianxi were delighted to hear Xia Huna wanted to watch a movie. Xia Huna readily booked a private room for four at the cinema and brought his three Pokémon to watch 'Crimson and Azure's Emerald Nightmare'.

The movie started quickly. As Xia Huna watched the immense, foreboding clouds on the big screen, he glanced back at Shedinja. "Seriously, with such a grand scene, you don't react at all? I mean, those with small eyes are often monsters, but your reaction is just too strange."

Shedinja floated silently behind Xia Huna, while Dianxi and Guagua stared intently at the screen, brimming with curiosity about what would happen next.

After the movie's oppressive opening, the main feature began.

"As everyone knows, on the Spirit Beast Star where we live..."

Hearing the grating narration, Xia Huna frowned. "This t/

"Your statement is truly..."

"Is there a problem?"

"Quite good..." The youth in the headphones gave a complex thumbs-up. He had never encountered such a sarcastically astute audience member before, but he had to admit, the critique was spot-on.

The two parted ways outside the cinema. Xia Huna looked at the sky. "I need to rest. It was a pleasure meeting you. Uh, who were you again?"

"I forgot to introduce myself. My name is Wang Nianming. I'm a film critic and occasionally moonlight as a director. You should give me your name too."

"The Contest Committee, Xia Huna."

"Xia, Chairman Xia? How did you...?"

Xia Huna patted his wheelchair. "A small accident, but it's fine. Tell me, are you interested in filming a movie with me to spite them? The same story, and with me, a Coordinator trainer, involved, it shouldn't be a problem."

Wang Nianming considered. "Sure, I was thinking of collaborating with you while watching the movie. Chairman Xia, when are you free? Where can I find you?"

Xia Huna pulled out his newly acquired phone. "Let's exchange contact details. I'm staying at the Kyogre Guesthouse by the sea."

"Alright, I'll come tomorrow then. See you there."

...

Having agreed to film a micro-budget movie with Wang Nianming, Xia Huna pushed his wheelchair back to the Kyogre Guesthouse. He looked at the Kyogre depicted on the guesthouse's sign and sighed. "My poor Kyogre."

As he spoke, Xia Huna's heart suddenly jolted. "What's happening? Why did I suddenly have such an ominous feeling? What could it be?"

Xia Huna stared intently at the guesthouse sign. "No way. Although my premonition is by the sea, it shouldn't involve Kyogre. Big-headed fish, take it easy. It's just a trash movie. You don't need to get so worked up or angry. The netizens will get justice for you."
