A spirit descends, Gardevoir is my childhood friend?

After shaking hands, both sides returned to their respective rest areas on opposite sides of the battlefield.

Lin Xiaolin submitted the pre-prepared order of appearance.

"Alright everyone." The host pressed his hands down, and the audience quieted down considerably.

"Now that both sides have handed over their respective order of appearance, our final battle of the day is about to begin. The first singles match will be between Gu Xiaodong, a student from Class 0 of Grade 12 at Xingcheng No. 2 High School, and Yan Fan, a student from Class 0 of Grade 1 at Xingcheng No. 1 High School!"

As the host's voice rang out, Yan Fan and Gu Xiaodong calmly walked onto the stage.

“Honey, it’s Xiao Yan.” Lin’s mother in the audience pointed at Yan Fan and Lin’s father again.

"Yes, I see it." Lin's father was also watching with some interest.

"Oh, do you know my son?" Yan He said with a grin next to Lin's father.

"Oh? Yan Fan is your son. Xiao Lin used to bring him to our house to play often. The two kids get along quite well." Lin's mother looked at Yan He curiously.

"Haha, then I'll have to trouble you a lot. I'm often unable to spend much time with him because of work," Yan He said sincerely to Lin's mother.

"Haha, don't mention it, Yan Fan is a very well-behaved child," Lin's mother said shyly.

However, I was also quite shocked. I never expected that Yan Fan was actually Yan He's son. No wonder such a big boss came to Xingcheng specifically to watch the preliminary round of the college league.

At this moment, Yan Fan and Gu Xiaodong stood on opposite sides of the field, waiting for the referee to announce the start of the match.

"Alright, now let's begin the first singles match between Xingcheng No. 2 High School and Xingcheng No. 1 High School!"

The moment the referee announced the call, Yan Fan and Gu Xiaodong simultaneously threw out Poké Balls, and Duck and Dratini appeared on the field at the same time.

The appearance of Dratini caused a gasp from the entire audience; no one expected that a student from No. 1 High School would have a pseudo-legendary character.

Even Gu Xiaodong on the other side was amazed. It seems that No. 1 High School has two freshmen with near-god-like abilities!

However, I don't really care. Pseudo-legendary is strong, but that's only in the case of equal levels. Right now, it's obvious that Drowsy is much stronger than Dratini.

"Little duck, ripples in the water!"

Gu Xiaodong decided to test the waters first, and then the Duck directly fired Water Pulse at the Dratini.

"Minidragon, high-speed movement followed by Dragon Breath."

With a whoosh, Dratini vanished from its spot and reappeared to the side of Drumming, unleashing a Dragon Breath attack.

"Little duck, move away and get closer to him."

The Duck easily dodged the dragon breath and headed towards the Dratini.

"Mini Dragon, unleash your full speed!"

Yan Fan's lips curled up slightly. "Come closer, can you do it?"

Dratini's speed is extremely fast, moving around the entire area of ​​the field. With the added speed boost, it's practically a blur.

This is the experience that Yan Fan learned from Wang Can over the past two months.

The Duck couldn't catch up with the Dratini for a while and looked around warily.

"Little duck! Behind you!"

The Duck simply sidestepped the dragon breath shot from behind by Dratini.

Gu Xiaodong is now finding it a bit difficult to deal with; he didn't expect the loach to be so fast and so slippery.

(Mini Dragon: You're the mudskipper, your whole family is!)

Dratini moved at high speed around the field, occasionally using Dragon Breath to ambush Duck. Duck had no chance; its speed was simply no match for Dratini.

However, the teamwork between the enthusiastic duck and Gu Xiaodong was quite excellent, perfectly dodging every dragon breath.

Yan Fan was having a headache. This couldn't go on. Although the Dratini had good stamina, the Duckling didn't seem to be expending any energy at all.

Looking at the situation on the field, Yan Fan could only take a deep breath and try his best.

"Mini-Dragon uses tornadoes!"

The Dratini stopped abruptly, its mouth brimming with power, and a tornado was about to hurtle towards the Duck.

"Little duck, this is a good opportunity to get close to him!"

Taking advantage of the gap when Dratini uses Tornado, Duck rushes straight towards Dratini.

The Duck narrowly missed the tornado, gathering water-type power in its hand and unleashing a Water Blade attack on Dratini.

"Now, electromagnetic wave!" The moment the water blade struck Dratini, Dratini's entire body emitted sparks of electricity.

"Don't be so eager, ducks, retreat quickly!"

But it was too late. The electromagnetic wave hit the Drumming directly, freezing it in place. Dratini was also knocked several meters away by the water blast, rolled a few times on the ground, and then immediately got up.

"Mini Dragon, tail!"

The moment Dratini stood up, it vanished from its spot and reappeared right in front of Drumming, using the momentum of its charge to deliver a powerful Dragon Tail swipe to Drumming's chest.

Chapter 79 College League Preliminary Round 4 (Bonus Chapter 2)

With a "thud," the Duckling, which had been frozen in place, was hit directly by the dragon's tail and flew backward.

"Oh no, little duck! Stop right there!"

Gu Xiaodong hurriedly gave instructions, for behind the eager ducks was a forming tornado!

The enthusiastic duck tried to stop itself from retreating, but the numbness in its body made it unable to move, and it flew directly into the tornado.

"Dragoni, Dragon Rage!" Dratini, enduring the intense pain, unleashed its Dragon-type energy and unleashed Dragon Rage towards the center of the tornado.

"Oh!"

The tornado was blasted apart by the power of the Dragon's Fury, and a large amount of dust appeared in the field.

"Little duck!" Gu Xiaodong shouted anxiously.

As the dust settled, the injured Duckling knelt on the ground, still panting heavily.

"Quack!" the eager duck cried out, indicating that it was alright, but the injuries on its body meant that it was impossible for it to be completely unharmed.

"Dragon's Breath!" Seeing that the Duck hadn't fallen yet, Yan Fan immediately had the Dratini finish it off. Going all out in a battle is a sign of respect for the opponent.

"I surrender!" Gu Xiaodong shouted at the referee as he looked at the injuries and electric arcs on the Duck's body.

The dragon's breath, which was flying in the air, was directly intercepted by a surge of electric energy and exploded midway.

"Gu Xiaodong from Xingcheng No. 2 High School concedes defeat. The winner is Yan Fan from Xingcheng No. 1 High School!"

"Yi Gao! Yi Gao!" Yan Fan's first victory undoubtedly ignited the atmosphere of the entire stadium.

At this moment, the excited duck stumbled and fell to the ground, and Gu Xiaodong quickly ran onto the battlefield.

He gently picked up the Duckling, enduring the slight numbness emanating from its body, and headed towards the medical station.

"Quack quack~" The eager duck let out a self-reproachful quack in Gu Xiaodong's arms.

"It's alright, little duck. We'll challenge them again next time when we're stronger!" Gu Xiaodong said with a smile.

-

Meanwhile, on the other side, the Dratini ran straight into Yan Fan's arms, enjoying their victory.

Yan Fan took the Mini Dragon to the infirmary to treat its injuries.

When Yan Fan entered the infirmary, he saw Gu Xiaodong sitting to the side waiting.

Ignoring him, I handed the mini dragon directly to the medical staff and then sat down to wait.

Just then, Gu Xiaodong suddenly walked over and stood in front of Yan Fan.

"I'll challenge you again when my little duck and I get stronger," Gu Xiaodong said earnestly.

Yan Fan's lips curled slightly. "You're welcome anytime."

The two boys' eyes met, filled with fighting spirit, and smiles appeared on their lips.

During the match, the referee continued commentary after the two players left the field.

"The first match was a very exciting one! What will the next match be like? Please welcome Lu Renjia, a senior student from Xingcheng No. 2 High School, and Shi Anyang, a freshman from Xingcheng No. 1 High School!"

(I really can't think of any names, and writing them down is too much trouble and you probably wouldn't remember them anyway. Do you think it's okay to name these NPCs who only appear once? If not, I'll change it again (^///^))

Shi Anyang and a student from the Second High School went to the battlefield at the same time.

"It seems Xingcheng No.1 High School is quite confident this year, sending out two first-year students in a row. We'll find out how this contestant performs next. Now! The battle begins!"

Shi Anyang and the opposing team's No. 2 High School player simultaneously threw out Poké Balls, and Riolu and Corphish appeared on the battlefield.

Lin Xiaolin, sitting in the audience, frowned.

He said, "Oh no, our doubles match is going to be tough."

"What's wrong?" Qin Lele asked from the side.
