Pokemon: How Are You Cultivating Immortality in the Pokemon World?

The grass-type energy within the Tropius began to gather, and numerous green leaves, enveloped in energy, rapidly flew out and embedded themselves in a nearby tree.

“Leaf Storm? No… this seems like Magical Leaf?”

Lu Li examined the damage Tropius had inflicted on the tree with some delight.

Magical Leaf is a pretty good move. It has a built-in tracking effect, so normally, it's hard to dodge unless it's blocked.

In the real world, not every Pokémon knows the godly move Protect, nor do they all know defensive moves.

“Great! Tropius, you really are a genius.”

Lu Li didn't hold back on his praise at all.

Tropius narrowed its eyes and cried out joyfully. What could be better than receiving praise from its trainer?

After resting for a while with Tropius in the grove, Lu Li brought Tropius back to the stadium.

As soon as he entered, Lu Li saw Jin Huang, his face slightly dark, heading out.

Seeing Jin Huang's less-than-pleasant expression, Lu Li asked with concern, “What's wrong?”

“Don't even mention it!” Jin Huang sighed dejectedly.

The follower next to Jin Huang explained, “Brother Jin Huang is feeling down. His next match is against a Sandshrew.”

Lu Li: “……”

Lu Li looked at Jin Huang with some pity. His luck was truly a bit against the heavens.

If it wasn't人为 (man-made), Jin Huang's luck was indeed hard to describe, but if it was人为 (man-made), that would be quite the grudge.

Feeling the pity in Lu Li's eyes, Jin Huang retorted gloatingly, “Don't be too happy yet. I checked for you. Your next opponent is a Houndour.”

“Houndour, huh? That's alright, at least it's not a 4x weakness.” Lu Li breathed a sigh of relief.

Jin Huang: “……”

Hearing this, Jin Huang's face turned green because he *was* facing a 4x weakness!

Jin Huang left, obviously to ask his mother for information.

No matter how slow Jin Huang's reaction was, he should have realized the strangeness of the school's matching mechanism by now.

How could one person encounter a 4x weakness twice in a row? After all, the total number of trainers participating from First High School didn't even exceed 200.

Watching Jin Huang's departing figure, Lu Li muttered, “There's definitely something fishy going on here.”

Before long, Jin Huang returned. Unlike the anger and depression he showed when he left, Jin Huang was now full of fighting spirit.

“You look like you're very happy?” Lu Li teased the high-spirited Jin Huang.

Listening to Lu Li's teasing, Jin Huang looked at Lu Li with utmost sincerity and said, “Lu Li, thank you!”

Lu Li: “???”

Lu Li looked at Jin Huang with a bewildered expression.

Carefully glancing around and finding no one paying attention, Jin Huang whispered a reminder, “This competition is very special. You must perform well. I'll tell you the specifics after the competition.”

Lu Li nodded thoughtfully after hearing this.

Lu Li found Jin Huang's reaction a bit interesting.

“Perform well… Is there some important figure coming to the school?” Lu Li thought to himself.

Unlike Jin Huang, Lu Li, who had lived two lives, immediately guessed the truth.

After another round of matches, the next round would determine the top ten.

Jin Huang was the first to take the stage again.

Having already exposed Double-Edge, the Sandshrew trainer was prepared for Aron's Double-Edge, so Jin Huang had a very difficult time.

After Double-Edge was dodged, Aron was immediately hit by Sand Attack.

Facing the injured Aron, Jin Huang directly commanded, “Aron, endure it, then charge forward and use Tackle!”

“Rock Tomb!”

The Sandshrew trainer commanded preemptively.

Jin Huang shouted equally loudly, “Aron, Endeavor!”

“Endeavor?”

Lu Li looked at Jin Huang and Aron on the field in surprise.

Unbelievable!

Could it be that all of you with a color in your name are protagonists?

Blue and Red in the games are one thing, but in the real world, are you, Jin Huang, also a protagonist?

Endeavor is a game-changing move!

I tolerated your Aron inheriting Double-Edge, but now you're telling me Aron also inherited Endeavor?

The Sandshrew trainer, who knew what Endeavor was, looked at Aron in the arena with a terrified expression.

The newest novels are first published on 69shu.com!

Rock Tomb hit Aron, but Aron's Endeavor also hit Sandshrew. To make matters worse, Aron's Tackle also landed on Sandshrew.

In this round, Jin Huang and Aron narrowly won the match.

So far, Aron has shown two inherited moves, Double-Edge and Endeavor. These moves are either extremely powerful or functionally strong.

In the principal's office.

Yu Zhonggang watched Jin Huang narrowly win the match and sincerely praised, “This Aron is unexpectedly excellent, and his trainer has a pretty good grasp of timing.”

The principal took the opportunity to ask, “I heard that Gym Leader Yu's ace Pokémon is Aggron. I wonder if you would be interested in taking Aron's trainer as an apprentice?”

Yu Zhonggang pretended to be silent for a moment, then nodded and said, “I'll personally ask the child after the competition.”

Inheriting Double-Edge and Endeavor, and the Pokémon trainer's command talent is also quite good. Such a person is definitely considered excellent.

Seeing that Yu Zhonggang had actually agreed, a hint of joy flashed across the principal's face.

These are all political achievements!

“Things actually worked out. Cui Lian and my efforts were not wasted.” The principal thought to himself happily.

He had wanted to reject such an outrageous matching mechanism, after all, it was too unfair to Jin Huang.

But at Jin Cui Lian's request, and because Jin Cui Lian was Jin Huang's mother, he reluctantly agreed.

Now it seems that their gamble was worth it. Jin Huang did not disappoint his mother's expectations.

After winning the match, Aron also collapsed on the field, exhausted. But since Sandshrew lost its ability to fight first, Jin Huang was the undisputed winner.

“Truly remarkable, one should not underestimate the heroes of the world!” Lu Li sincerely exclaimed in his heart.

Jin Huang's ability to achieve victory under such a huge attribute disadvantage is not only due to Aron's efforts, but also to Jin Huang's excellent command.

Lu Li was now increasingly looking forward to his battle with Jin Huang. He had originally thought that today's competition was just a group of babies playing with each other, but Jin Huang had given him such a big surprise.

Jin Huang did not reap the joy of victory, but nervously recalled Aron with a Poké Ball, and then hurried towards the school's medical room.

After Jin Huang left the field, it was his turn.

“Houndour, huh!”

Lu Li, sighing inwardly, arrived at competition field number 6.

The Kyushu Alliance once published a book called 'New Trainer's Initial Pokémon Selection Guide,' which bluntly warned everyone that new trainers were not advised to choose Dark, Ghost, or Poison-type Pokémon.

This is not to say that these types of Pokémon are inherently evil, but that these types of Pokémon are not something that new trainers can handle.
