Internet Magic in Fairy Tail (Re-upload)

Dragonite's single punch instantly defeated Golduck. Even at max level, and despite a type advantage, the scene felt exaggerated.

The audience was stunned. The trainers—selected as the top thousand through online qualifiers—were left speechless.

For a max-level Pokémon, even with a type advantage (Electric vs. Water), could a one-hit KO really happen?

Moreover, Dragonite wasn't even Electric-type—it was Dragon-type!

There could only be one explanation: Dragonite's max-level stats were leagues above Golduck's.

…

Reactions from the Crowd:

"This is outrageous! The power level is off the charts!"

"Nate totally planned this. He deliberately added a pseudo-legendary in the middle of the tournament!"

"Damn it… fine, I'll pull. Are you happy now?"

Competitive players shed envious tears. Several trainers gave up their spots in the queue, opened Magic Net on the spot, and began rolling for Dragonite.

…

Commentary Booth:

Jabadiro stared blankly at the battlefield, momentarily forgetting his job. One thought echoed in his mind:

"Isn't this a little too strong? How are other Pokémon supposed to compete?"

But then, a realization struck: The official tournament was still over two weeks away. Any participant without a Dragonite would naturally be at a disadvantage. If someone truly wanted to compete for the championship, obtaining a Dragonite—and leveling it up—was now essential.

…

Nate ignored the murmurs and cheers, staying focused on his "seller showcase." Juvia proved a cooperative partner; most of her Pokémon were Water-type.

After Golduck fell, she sent out Blastoise, who was similarly defeated in one hit. Without pausing to mourn Blastoise's defeat, she sent out Poliwrath. Another one-hit KO.

Next came:

Kingler: KO'd.

Starmie: KO'd.

Finally, Juvia sent out her sixth Pokémon—Ditto. Ditto transformed into Dragonite, but a counterfeit was still a counterfeit. It couldn't compete with the real deal.

In less than ten minutes, Nate's Dragonite achieved a 6-0 sweep against Juvia!

…

The audience was on fire.

"Unbelievable! A 6-0 sweep! And on the fourth day of the tournament!"

"This rarely happens even in ranked matches!"

"That's insane! Pseudo-legendaries are just on another level!"

"Dragonite feels like a Level 60 Pokémon compared to everyone else's Level 50 Pokémon!"

"With a 10-level gap, even with type disadvantages, it could still win!"

Nate surveyed the crowd. Thousands of fans erupted into cheers, their roars echoing throughout the stadium. As a fellow Pokémon enthusiast, Nate understood their excitement. It was akin to witnessing a pentakill during the League of Legends World Championship finals.

"Winner: Nate!"

The referee finally snapped out of their daze and announced the result.

Nate nodded toward Juvia. "Well played. Thanks for the match."

Then, he walked toward the referee and retrieved his profile card. One badge down. Seven to go.

With that, Nate headed for Arena 2: Blue Pegasus.

…

Arena 2:

Today's Gym Leader for Blue Pegasus wasn't Ichiya, but one of the hosts from the male idol group, Hibiki Lates. As always, the male idol team was immensely popular among the ladies. The line had over a hundred participants, most of them women.

When Nate arrived, the female trainers immediately abandoned their spots, rushing toward him with gleaming eyes.

"Nate-sama~ I love you! Please marry me!"

It was unclear who shouted first, but soon the whole crowd joined in.

Nate wiped a bead of cold sweat from his brow. Being too popular could sometimes be a headache.

"I already have a girlfriend. Thank you for your support," he said politely.

"That's okay, I don't mind!"

What?! I mind! Nate thought bitterly, finally pinpointing the source of the bold response: a shy-looking, bespectacled girl, saying such daring things with a completely calm face.

"Truly the magic fantasy world…" he muttered to himself.

The other women, not to be outdone, ramped up their enthusiasm and surrounded him.

"Nate-sama, I want to have your children!"

"Nate-sama, I can be your mistress!"

"They're being greedy. I just want to go on a date with you~"

At that moment, Nate suddenly understood why Gildarts had lived such a playboy lifestyle in his youth. Faced with so many beautiful women fawning over him, anyone would lose their head.

…

Audience Reactions:

Watching the live broadcast, Mirajane smiled a chillingly sweet smile, filled with barely hidden murderous intent.

"Ah… as expected of Nate. Truly popular," she said with a quiet giggle.

Beside her, Erza's lips twitched into a faint smirk. "He must be feeling so troubled right now."

…

Meanwhile, in the Chat Group:

Cana: "I told you, didn't I? A girl magnet wherever he goes. Hehehe~"

Ultear: "Honestly, it's bees to honey. Truly remarkable."

Lucy: "It's not entirely his fault, though…"

Cana: "I have a suggestion: let's tire him out every day so he can't flirt anywhere else!"

Lucy: "Cana! You're so bold… 🤭"

Ultear: "I support this idea~ Leave tonight to me. 😳"

Cana: "Why not together? 😏"

Ultear: "Are you sure? I don't mind at all. 😉"

Cana: "Challenge accepted! 🤸‍♀️"

Lucy: "🤦‍♀️ Guys, what are we even talking about?!"

…

Back at the Tournament:

Oblivious to the colorful chat in the girlfriend group, Nate focused on challenging all the gym leaders. Thanks to his fame and status, participants were more than happy to let him skip the line.

Blue Pegasus's Hibiki Lates put up a tougher fight than Juvia. His team had more balanced types, making it harder for Dragonite to sweep. But Dragonite still triumphed, pulling off yet another 6-0 victory!

Next came Lamia Scale, where the gym leader Sherry offered a decent challenge. Her team included three max-level Pokémon, but Dragonite still managed another sweep.

At Mermaid Heel, the gym leader Risley brought Grass- and Flying-type Pokémon—Bulbasaur, Weezing, Scyther, and Pidgeot—which were powerful, but still fell before Dragonite. Another 6-0!

Nate then breezed through Sabertooth, Quatro Cerberus, Titan Nose, and Dullahan Head. Despite each gym leader fielding at least three max-level Pokémon, none could stop Dragonite's advance.

Eight consecutive sweeps.

The crowd, initially shocked, ended up with one prevailing thought: "Dragonite is unbeatable!"

Even online, tens of thousands of spectators watching the live broadcast were in awe. The buzz was contagious. At first, players were impressed; now, they were desperate. Dragonite was clearly a game-changer. If you wanted to compete in the finals, you needed one. Players began pulling for Dragonite en masse.

…

Commentary Booth:

Jabadiro: "Honestly, without Dragonite, how are you even supposed to counter this?"

Jason: "I don't know! I have no idea, but it's so COOL~~!"

….

Nate completed his "One-Day Speedrun" of the tournament, earning all eight gym badges in record time. Having finished his showcase, he left the stadium and opened his backend dashboard to check the update results:

Total Revenue: Over 1,000,000 Magic Net Coins spent on pulls, translating to 100,000+ gacha attempts!

"They've gone completely nuts…" Nate smirked, satisfied with the outcome. But then he thought:

"My Dragonite is max-level, has max affection, and has been perfectly trained with the ideal moveset. This seller showcase is definitely… not a realistic experience for regular players."
