Chapter 91 The "Strange Rules" of the Shanghai University Team

Speaking of which, Tirey and Dream Fairy have also shown remarkable growth during this period.

Almost every day, I fight against the powerful Pokémon in the school team. Their strength grows at a rate that is almost comparable to the rapidly increasing fear value.

From the most intuitive system data perspective...

Tirey and Misdreavus have increased their levels from 18 and 22 when Cynthia arrived at the beginning of the year to 22 and 25!
In less than a month, he was promoted three or four levels.

This terrifying growth rate is comparable to that of a Bug-type Pokémon that develops rapidly in its early stages.

However, as is well known, the downside of Bug-type Pokémon is that they have a low potential and a short lifespan.

Tirey and Misdreavus, on the other hand, steadily and surely rose through the ranks.

One important reason is, of course, the existence of the [Training Assist Device], which allows the two Pokémon to gain "double experience" during training and battles.

Xia Chi believes another reason is that their opponents are powerful and provide more "basic experience" than ordinary elves.

If I had to explain, it would probably be like this—

Stronger opponents often push Pokémon to their physical limits during battles, squeezing out every last drop of energy.

Therefore, after treatment and recovery, the spirit's energy and physical abilities will be greatly enhanced.

This is illogical, but very Pokémon-like.

Besides the most obvious level data, Tirion and Misdreavus have also made great progress in energy control and move usage.

This is something that Brother Tongzi cannot provide.

It's purely because the online classes Xia Chi enrolled her child in were of high quality.

Cynthia's one-on-one coaching of Champion Pokémon like Lorelei and Rockruff is not just high-quality, it's absolutely phenomenal!
Of course, all of this is based on the accumulation of a large amount of high-quality and scientifically sound cultivation resources in daily life.

Even with the nurturing items from Brother Tongzi's [Fear Treasure Chest], Xia Chi still invests almost all of his monthly earnings into the three little ones.

It requires cheating, spending money, and, of course, hard work and sweat.

This led to the rapid increase in the level and strength of Tirey and Dream Fairy.

So, on another note, how exactly did Red achieve the status of the strongest in just one year in the special episode?

Xia Chi found it truly terrifying to think about.

Surely the title "[Battler]" doesn't give Pokémon a 300% experience bonus?
------

After their "parent-child" time, Xia Chi led the three Pokémon to the Shanghai University team training hall to grind their fear levels as usual.

In fact, the number of members on the Shanghai University volleyball team is not large; including the reserve team, there are only a little over one hundred people.

Most of them are only trainers at the same level as Lin Lange, or even less.

Given Tirey and Dream Demon's current strength, it's unlikely that they can extract much more fear from them.

Xia Chi has also challenged most of the senior students who are ranked at the top of the school team.

In the past few days, he could clearly feel that after his fear level reached 400, the rate of increase had slowed down.

This made Xia Chi, who had been used to a month of good days, feel a little annoyed.

While wandering around the training hall, Xia Chi suddenly spotted a majestic giant praying mantis.

His eyes lit up, and he immediately took Tire Cat over there.

He invited, "Senior, your Scizor looks unfamiliar. How about a battle?"

What are some good reasons to have trainer battles?

If you've hit it off, let's have a fight!
If you don't like someone, fight them!
The boy who ranked in the top 20 of the school team looked slightly bitter.

How did I end up attracting this battle maniac here?
It wasn't that he wanted to be a cowardly lizard, but this freshman who had accomplished a four-in-a-row feat with a single Misdreavus a month ago was just too strange!

It's almost become a bizarre rule-based myth.

Rule one: Unless your strength is overwhelmingly superior, you cannot win against the Mad Demon. While failure is said to be the mother of success, this "mother" is proving to be a difficult birth.

Apart from the top-ranked seniors, no one has ever beaten Xia Chi.

He really didn't want to fight in matches that only added pressure rather than fostered growth.

The boy suddenly remembered another rule that a busybody on the school team had summarized.

On a sudden inspiration, he said, "Brother Chi, you're not unfamiliar at all. This Scizor is the one I just evolved from Scyther a few days ago. We battled Brother Chi."

Is it possible for someone to call someone two or three years younger than them "Brother Chi" just to beg for mercy?

Haki, you bastard!
Xia Chi paused for a moment, then thought back and said, "It seems like we battled before. Okay, senior, remember to call me when you catch a new Pokémon."

Then he turned and left, looking around as if searching for new prey.

The boy breathed a sigh of relief; the rule had taken effect.

The fourth rule of the battle against the Mad Demon: The Mad Demon will not fight an elf he has defeated a second time; he is always looking for new prey.

------

Your pet, Tirey (lv.22), defeated Electivire (lv.33), gaining 8.3 Fear Points!

I have reviewed the battle logs generated in the system with satisfaction.

Xia Chi waved to the senior student who looked dejected on the other side of the battlefield.

"I'm going to treat Tiremy now, thanks for the advice!"

With Tire Cat, who was actually in pretty good shape, off the field, Xia Chi's radar began scanning for the next challenger.

Unfortunately, all I could see were creatures that had already had their fear levels raised, defeated by Tire Cat and Misdreavus.

Xia Chi couldn't help but feel uneasy.

Will this high-quality mob spawner eventually reach its limit?
What should we do? Should we expand our business to those commercial gaming clubs outside of school?
That's not really realistic.

You either become a sparring partner yourself, or you find one.

Needless to say, if you go to be a sparring partner, most of your opponents will be young guys who have just gotten their starter Pokémon and don't have much skill.

The latter option involves spending money on sparring partners, and you have to keep changing them.

After all, a single Pokémon can't generate fear value twice.

Otherwise, under the guise of a trial, you fight a match with your sparring partner, and after winning, you say it doesn't meet the requirements and give them another one, and so on, wasting your votes?

Forget it, tactics can be underhanded, but don't be so underhanded as a person.

Xia Chi thought about it and decided to give up.

Actually, the best way to increase your fear level is to go on a trip.

Encountering wild trainers, wild Pokémon, and wild gym leaders are all excellent sources of fear.

If it weren't for the fact that he was going to Beishang Township next month, and then to Padiya, Xia Chi would have liked to travel and challenge the Donghuang Alliance Tournament.

It just so happens that I played nine generations of Pokémon games in my previous life but never experienced the Eastern Region, so this time I'm going to have a live-action version.

It's decided! After returning from Padiya, I'm going on a thrilling challenge trip to the Eastern Dojo!
As Xia Chi was thinking this, she looked up and bumped into Lin Qunzhi.

The dashing female dean saw Xia Chi and said, "I was just looking for you. Go back and pack your luggage today. We'll set off for Beishang Township in a couple of days."

"So fast?"

Xia Chi was somewhat surprised, "Didn't they say the Pokémon Academy Tournament wouldn't start until next month?"

Lin Qunzhi rolled his eyes. "You're not adapting to a new environment, but doesn't your spirit need to adapt to one too?"

Xia Chi gave a knowing "oh".
