What is a Pokémon Trainer?

The audience was stunned by the battle.

Ah?

That's it?

Wasn't the special effect of the circle when Card Squirtle first came on the court quite awesome?

That's the result?

I can do it too.

Perhaps because Li Chengqian was the first player to lose in No. 1 Middle School, and he was defeated without any chance to fight back, the students in the audience unanimously believed that he was a fake who had sneaked into the team. There were a lot of boos for a while, and some people even shouted for him to get out of No. 1 Middle School.

Although the teachers gradually quieted down, these voices were also heard clearly by Li Chengqian who was waiting for the end of treatment.

How to say it, I still feel a little uncomfortable.

Li Chengqian looked at the audience seats around him, and then looked at Zhou Yuan who was greeted by other players as soon as he returned to the contestant seats. For a moment, he felt like a hero in his twilight years.

This also made him make a decision.

The decision to transfer to No. 2 Middle School.

Of course, Zhou Yuan and others at this time did not know Li Chengqian's psychological changes, and Yun Duo and Li Feiyong were unable to comfort Li Chengqian in time because of the battle.

This is all later. Now Li Chengqian is still waiting for the treatment to end, and Zhou Yuan is also sitting in the contestant seats.

The second round of the battle ended relatively quickly. Now it is the third round of the battle. Yun Duo and Li Feiyong are on the field. There is also the third place winner of the Rookie Cup, the trainer of Infernape, who is a player from No. 3 Middle School, and is also on the stage.

The Pokémons of these three people have broken through the senior level. Facing the late-stage normal level or perfect opponents, it can be said that they hang up the opponent and beat them. After a lot of slashing, the battle is also over quickly.

Yun Duo and Li Feiyong finished the fight and wanted to go down to comfort Li Chengqian. After all, even they on the stage heard the noise just now. They could understand the students in the stands. After all, this was the first No. 1 Middle School player to be eliminated in the first round in the past five years. It was naturally embarrassing for these students.

But Yun Duo and the others could understand Li Chengqian more. After all, they were beaten by Zhou Yuan in the Rookie Cup. They all knew that he was not easy to deal with. Even if they faced him, they might not get a good result. Moreover, Li Chengqian's usual hypnotic strengthening tactics were targeted by Zhou Yuan. It was impossible for him to win.

But when they turned their eyes to the treatment area, they did not see Li Chengqian.

In fact, Li Chengqian saw them go down the stage, but he did not want to see them for the time being, so he took the treated Squirtle back to the Poké Ball and left the waiting area. After all, the next battle had nothing to do with him. The team competition was tomorrow.

After searching for Li Chengqian but not finding him, Yun and Li sent a message to ask him about it and found out that Li Chengqian had left the venue early. Yun and Li sat down and waited for the end of the first round of eliminations.

Under the gaze of all the contestants and the audience, the first round of eliminations ended. Except for Li Chengqian who was hit by Zhou Yuan, the other four students from No. 1 Middle School all advanced. Two students from No. 2 Middle School met the seeded players from No. 4 Middle School and No. 5 Middle School and unfortunately lost. Three students advanced, and two seeded players from the other four schools advanced.

After half an hour of recovery and treatment, the second round of eliminations officially began. The characters on the big screen scrolled again. When the scrolling stopped, the battle assignments of the contestants became clear.

Zhou Yuan looked at the non-existent stage number and contestant name behind his name and felt a little confused.

Is this... a bye?

Looking around, he found that Wu Jinyan and Liu Wei both cast envious eyes. Zhou Yuan then believed that he was indeed a bye.

In the following time, Zhou Yuan sat calmly in the waiting seat, watching the seven groups of people fighting on the ring.

Since there were only five seats in the ring, it was divided into two rounds, four games in the first round and three games in the second round.

The seven matches took more than 20 minutes in total, and the result of the battle...

How to say it...

Two people from No. 1 Middle School advanced, Yun Duo and Li Feiyong, and the trainer of Molten Ant and another unfamiliar trainer ran into the seeded players from No. 3 and No. 4 Middle Schools respectively.

Yes, although they are ranked low, the seeded players are not something that can be defeated by just any cat or dog.

Two people from No. 2 Middle School also advanced, Zhou Yuan and Wu Jinyan who were on a bye.

One person from No. 3, No. 4, No. 5 and No. 6 Middle Schools each advanced.

Zhou Yuan used to believe in the so-called fairness of the system, but now he doesn't believe it at all.

I'd be a fool to believe you, okay? None of the seeded players from the five schools bumped into each other. You are a master of balancing, right? You guarantee that at least one player from each school advances. No matter how you look at it,

You have to get by, right?

After two rounds of competition, the time has come to eleven o'clock. Seeing that no one is going to eat, Zhou Yuan also knows that the meal will not be served until the top four are decided. Now he is a little hungry, so he took out a bottle of energy cubes, touched two and put them in his mouth. Don't say, it's really delicious.

This scene made Wu Jinyan next to him dumbfounded.

Huh?

What is he eating?

Am I seeing wrong?

Haha.

Zhou Yuan noticed Wu Jinyan's gaze and raised the bottle to ask him if he wanted a piece, but the latter waved his hand to refuse.

Then there was another half an hour of rest time. When the time came to eleven and half, the information on the big screen scrolled again.

The result of this match...

How to say...

The previous style of keeping the balance was maintained again.

Yun Duo vs. the seeded player of the fourth middle school.

Zhou Yuan vs. Li Feiyong.

Wu Jinyan vs. the seeded player of the third middle school.

The seeded players of the fifth and sixth middle schools fought each other.

Eight people came on the field at the same time and stood on four different stages.

Take your positions!

Get ready!

The battle begins!

As the referees' voices fell, the eight people threw their Poké Balls almost at the same time. For a while, the red light on the stage flashed, and the Pokémons' cries came one after another.

At this stage, the trainers with stronger strength or more money are all working on cultivating their second Pokémon, but perhaps because the cultivation time is temporarily short or the basic level is relatively low when they are first cultivated, they cannot be used as immediate combat power at this time.

Li Feiyong also cultivated a second Pokémon, which is the descendant of his father's elite-level monster. Now it is still a wrist force, so it is naturally impossible to send it up, so he threw the Poké Ball of the Ironbone Man.

"Go, Ironbone Man!"

The sturdy Ironbone Man fell to the ground, exuding the aura of a senior level, but it has not evolved yet. It seems that Li Feiyong is not in a hurry to achieve a level increase through evolution for the time being.

Li Feiyong was not afraid of Zhou Yuan at all. He could fight with Gryphon and use Thunder Punch. No matter who Zhou Yuan sent, he would have a chance of winning.

Until he saw Zhou Yuan took out a brand new white commemorative ball.

"It shouldn't be..."
