Yu Hai sat in the audience, frowning slightly, thinking about Swampert's panel in his mind. More than a month ago, Swampert had reached the quasi-king level, and was now in the critical stage of accumulating energy to break through to the king level.

However, it is not easy for Swampert to break through, and suitable resources for a breakthrough are hard to find. There is no better way now, and one can only be patient and endure it slowly.

According to the current situation, it would take at least ten months to break through, or even longer. Thinking of this, he couldn't help but rub his temples, his face full of helplessness and headache.

After the Great White Gem Fragment is activated, it will not only increase the potential for breakthrough for Poliwag, but it may also allow water-type Pokémon such as Swampert to gain energy and increase the speed of breakthrough.

He sighed softly and closed the panel of Swampert. As soon as he raised his head, his eyes swept over some familiar figures. When he looked closely, it turned out to be Satoshi's three companions, as well as Shiro, Junko and others.

"Brother Hai? You are here too," Xiaozhi's voice filled with surprise and excitement came from far away. He was still wearing his iconic blue and white short-sleeved T-shirt, paired with light blue jeans, a pair of white sneakers, and a red and white hat. He brought Xiaogang and Xiaoxia, and ran towards Yu Hai, jumping and skipping.

"Xiaozhi? You guys are here too?" Yu Hai stood up with a smile and quickly looked around. He didn't find the familiar figures of the three members of Team Rocket. He thought to himself: I don't know where those three guys are hiding. Maybe they are up to some bad ideas again.

"Haha, what a coincidence. I heard that you took part in the certification exam and defeated the examiner to get the qualification badge to participate in the competition. That's awesome," Xiaozhi's eyes were sparkling with little stars and his face was full of admiration.

He had taken part in that exam and knew how difficult it was. In his heart, Yu Hai was like a god just because he could pass it.

"Yeah, it's the first time I heard that there is a trainer who can pass that kind of exam," Xiaoxia was still wearing the same outfit as before, a cool beige vest, super short jeans, and a red backpack. She folded her hands on her chest and held Togepi in her arms.

She also couldn't help but exclaim in admiration, with envy in her eyes. They had all participated in the battle assessment, but were all eliminated. They all admired Yu Hai's success.

"Long time no see," Xiao Gang, who was wearing a casual brown suit and a green vest, looked neat and tidy. He stretched out his right hand with a gentle smile on his face, shook hands tightly with Yu Hai's hand, and then politely let go.

"I'm also lucky, lucky," Yu Hai scratched his head a little embarrassedly, with a trace of guilt in his eyes.

After all, he was able to pass the final battle test by cheating to some extent. If he didn't know the type of elves to choose, it would be extremely difficult to defeat the examiner.

"This is not as simple as luck. We have heard the details of the battle. You have such strength," Xiaogang crossed his arms and teased Yu Hai with a smile. He didn't believe Yu Hai's words at all and ruthlessly exposed Yu Hai's disguise.

"Haha," Yu Hai smiled awkwardly and was speechless for a moment, not knowing what to say. Anyway, these guys didn't seem to believe him, and there seemed to be no point in explaining further.

Then, they chatted briefly for a few more sentences. At this time, a clear voice came from the radio: "Please go to the qualifying venue xx to prepare for the competition, Xiaozhi." When Xiaozhi heard his name being called on the radio, he immediately jumped up excitedly.

"Then let's go to the preliminaries first, and we'll talk after the game is over!" Xiaozhi said as he, Xiaogang, and Xiaoxia left the audience seats full of fighting spirit and strode towards the preliminaries venue.

After Xiaozhi and the other two left, Xiaomao did not come over to say hello as usual. He just stood up silently and slowly left the audience.

At the moment of turning around, he took one last look at Yu Hai, his eyes revealing a hint of determination and confidence. At this time, Xiao Mao was still wearing the purple long-sleeved T-shirt and dark blue jeans, and he looked capable and calm.

He secretly swore in his heart and was full of confidence in this competition. His goal was not only to defeat his old rival Xiaozhi, but also to defeat Yukai and prove that he was the best trainer.

"Brother Hai..."

At this moment, Xiao Shun came quickly through the crowd, wearing a green short-sleeved shirt with various grass-type elves printed on it, green shorts, and a pair of orange sneakers, full of energy.

He ran to Yu Hai, sat down, a bright smile on his face, and said excitedly: "Brother Hai, I didn't expect you to be here too..."

"It's Xiaoshun. Are you here to attend the Silver Conference too?" Yu Hai tilted his head slightly and looked at Xiaoshun.

As far as I can remember, it has been more than two months since we last saw each other. I didn't expect to meet again in the bustling arena.

"Hehe, I want to win the championship in all regional competitions. The Quartz Conference is just the beginning," Xiaoshun stood up excitedly, raised his hand and clenched his fist, with a determined look in his eyes.

His goals are extremely ambitious. Winning championships in Kanto, Chengdu, Fengyuan, Sinnoh and other regions are all within his plans, and he will not give up.

"Really? Do your best and don't lose to me," Yu Hai raised his lips slightly, revealing an encouraging smile. He remembered that he seemed to have heard that Xiao Shun wanted to travel around, constantly challenge competitions in various regions, pursue continuous breakthroughs, and obtain all honors.

"I will, Brother Hai," Xiao Shun nodded vigorously, regarding Brother Hai as an important goal on his way forward.

In his mind, the first goal is to win the championship in major competitions, and the second goal is to defeat Brother Hai fairly one day!
"Please, player Yu Hai, come as soon as possible..."

Yu Hai was just about to talk to Xiao Shun for a few more words when suddenly a clear and loud voice came from the radio, calling his name. The voice continued to echo in the noisy audience, informing him that the competition was about to begin.

Yu Hai shrugged helplessly, waved to Xiaoshun, said goodbye to Xiaoshun and left. He walked through the bustling crowd and headed towards the competition venue.

When he stepped into the competition venue, the air around him instantly became tense. The audience around the venue stopped cheering and talking, and quietly looked at them as they prepared to enter the game.

The referee stood in the middle of the fighting field, wearing a striking black referee uniform. He cleared his throat and announced the rules of the game in a loud voice. Every word was clearly heard by Yu Hai and the others.

Then, the referee raised the small flag in his hand high, waved it vigorously in the air, and shouted loudly: "The game begins!"

"Go, Umbreon..." Yu Hai shouted loudly, took a deep breath, adjusted his state, prepared for the upcoming battle, raised his hand and swung it hard, throwing the Poké Ball.

A dazzling red light flashed, and the elegant Moon Eevee appeared on the battlefield, emitting a mysterious aura, and its red eyes stared at the opposite side vigilantly.

"Go, Rakuten Kappa..." The trainer on the opposite side was not to be outdone. He confidently threw the Poké Ball in his hand. Rakuten Kappa appeared in the field with a "plop", splashing a small cloud of dust.

This was a young man wearing a green short-sleeved shirt and a baseball cap. He had already done a thorough investigation on Yu Hai, so he looked very confident. He also smiled at Yu Hai, as if he was sure of winning the game. That smile seemed to say: You can't escape this time.

"Oh my god, he's coming for me again." Yu Hai frowned, looked at the young trainer opposite him, and thought to himself: It seems that Frog's reputation is too great and has brought me a lot of trouble.

He sighed helplessly. In order to avoid being targeted again, he decided before the game not to send water elves into the game. After all, his fast swimming frog was so famous that almost every contestant knew him.

"I miscalculated, I didn't expect it to be Umbreon," the trainer of Rakuten Kappa frowned and muttered to himself. The smile on his face disappeared without a trace the moment he saw Umbreon.

"Isn't this Pokémon just a vase? It's just used as a pet. Could the rumor be wrong?" The trainer of Rakuten Kappa was helpless at this moment. The noisy cheers around him made him even more irritated. Now he could only bite the bullet and continue the game.

He gritted his teeth, clenched his fists, and prepared to command Rakuten Kappa to defeat Moon Eevee. He shouted to Rakuten Kappa, "Rakuten Kappa, pray for rain and hold on..."

"Umbreon, Wave of Evil!" Yu Hai fixed his eyes on Rakuten Kappa and issued the attack command almost at the same time as the other party.

When Moon Eevee heard the command, its red eyes lit up instantly and an evil aura emanated from its body.

"Buu!" Moon Eevee opened its mouth and condensed dark energy, which turned into several black and purple energy balls, and smashed towards Rakuten Kappa like meteors. The dark energy balls cut through the air, making a "whoosh" sound.

"Lu Ba!" Le Tian Kappa just looked up to the sky and shouted for rain, and bean-sized raindrops suddenly poured down, hitting the ground and splashing small water droplets.

At the same time, it raised its hand to block the evil wave of Moon Eevee. A cloud of dust was instantly blown out in front of it, and the impact force of the evil wave made the ground tremble slightly.

"Umbreon, a flash of lightning..." Yu Hai looked at the smoke-filled field, the corners of his mouth slightly raised, and he decisively issued a new order.

"Buuuu!" Moon Eevee immediately sprinted forward. The raindrops hitting its body did not affect its speed at all.

It took advantage of the cover of smoke and dust and rushed to Le Tian Kappa like a black lightning. At this time, it was useless to defend it. It opened its mouth and bit Le Tian Kappa's leg. The sharp teeth made Le Tian Kappa couldn't help but let out a cry of pain.

"No, the wave of evil is a feint!" The trainer of Lotte Kappa's face changed, and he regretted his carelessness just now. He quickly adjusted his state and responded immediately, shouting to Lotte Kappa: "Absorbing Punch..."

"Luba!" Lotte Kappa felt a sharp pain in his leg, and rain flowed down the wound. He raised his fist angrily and was about to hit Moon Eevee.

But Moon Eevee had already loosened its grip and retreated, its movements as swift as a ghost. It did not give Rakuten Kappa any chance to attack and disappeared in the blink of an eye.

When the Umbreon retreated lightly in front of Ukai, the situation on Rakuten Kappa's side took a turn for the worse.

I saw Lotte Kappa kneeling heavily on one knee on the ground, with a deep purple-black color on his knee, which was particularly eye-catching.

The purple-black color seemed to have life. Not only was it not washed away by the rain, but the color became even deeper. The trainer of Lotte Kappa was originally thinking about a response strategy, but his eyes inadvertently swept across this scene, and his heart skipped a beat.

"Poisoned? Poisoned?" The trainer of Lotte Kappa widened his eyes, his face full of disbelief. He watched Lotte Kappa kneeling on the ground, his body trembling slightly, then he suddenly realized.

The seemingly ordinary bite from Umbreon just now actually contained toxins, which injected Lotte Kappa with a deadly poison.

At this moment, he felt a little regretful and angry. He regretted that he had underestimated the enemy and did not notice Yu Hai's hidden attack. He was angry at Yu Hai's calculations.

The poison spread rapidly from Lotte Kappa's legs like a turbulent undercurrent. Lotte Kappa tried to struggle to get up, but found that his limbs were soft and weak and he couldn't exert any strength at all.

Even if the rain in the sky could double its speed, it was now poisoned and even moving a step was a luxury for it, so it would be useless even if its speed was doubled.

"Umbreon, High Speed ​​Star..." Yu Hai crossed his arms across his chest, his expression calm, as if everything was under his control. He raised his chin slightly and gave orders to Umbreon.

"Buuuu!" Moon Eevee responded with a cunning red light flashing in its eyes. This was the tactic of deception that Ah Hai taught it.

It opened its mouth slightly, and star-shaped energy bodies emitting bright light ejected like cannonballs, bombarding the immobile Lotte Kappa with a sharp whistling sound.

"Damn it, who are you looking down on?" The trainer of Lotte Kappa was so angry that his face turned red, his hands clenched into fists, and the veins on the back of his hands bulged.

He stared at Yu Hai who looked nonchalant across from him, his heart burning with anger. He knew very well that because of Lotte Kappa's poisoning, Yu Hai only needed to delay time and didn't have to take the game seriously at all.

When the time comes, Lotte Kappa will naturally be eliminated due to poisoning, but he can't do anything about it and has no place to vent his frustration.

At this moment, his brain was working rapidly, trying to find a way to break the impasse. The rainy day created by Lotte Kappa greatly weakened the effect of photosynthesis, making it impossible to delay time.

Although the sleeping move can remove the poisoning status, there will be several rounds of sleeping state afterwards, which is undoubtedly another dead end.

Thinking of this, he couldn't help but feel a sense of despair, and a feeling of powerlessness enveloped him deeply.

Boom boom boom, boom boom boom—

The high-speed star hit Lotte Kappa accurately. The powerful impact caused Lotte Kappa to shake for a few times, and finally it couldn't hold on and flew backwards.

The trainer of Lotte Kappa gritted his teeth and quickly commanded Lotte Kappa to use recovery moves, trying to make a final struggle, but this only delayed a little time.

In the end, Lotte Kappa could not withstand the double damage of the poison and the attack, and slowly fell into the rain. The rain continued to wash its body, but could not wash away the toxins in it.

"Rakuten Kappa has lost his ability to fight, Umeboshi has won, and the winner is Ukai!" The referee stood in the middle of the battlefield, looking at Rakuten Kappa who had fallen down due to the poison, waving the small chess piece in his hand with a serious expression, and announced the result of the battle loudly. The voice was clearly heard by Ukai and the others in the rain.

"Come back, Umbreon." Yu Hai turned his head with a bored look on his face, raised his foot and slowly left the battlefield.

In his opinion, the qualifiers are not challenging at all for Moon Eevee and others.

Even though some of Umbreon and other third-tier Pokémon are not easily defeated by these new trainers. Using third-tier Pokémon to compete is considered bullying to him.

In his estimation, only sending out the Queen Bee could be considered to be on the same level as these newcomers.
