After selecting the sprite, it's time to choose the location.

The camera continues to rotate, randomly selecting different locations such as water, ice, desert, grassland, rocky terrain, forest, and mountains, eventually stopping at a rocky terrain.

"Confirmed!"

Bi Xiangming tapped a few times on the tablet, and a rumbling sound immediately followed.

The battlefield landed, revealing a rocky surface entirely made of super-heavy rocks. Staff members also delivered Poké Balls, and the referees took their positions.

"Challenger, you can begin when you're ready."

"Hoohoo!!"

"Hoohoo!!"

Qin Ming took a few deep breaths, and the power of his wave guide flowed automatically within his body, allowing him to concentrate intensely. Once he was in a good state, he spoke up: "Alright!!"

"Ok!"

Bi Xiangming withdrew his gaze. He had originally thought that Qin Ming was just a young man who was fearless and had no idea of ​​the difficulty of the Little Fire Dragon Medal.

But the calm, composed, and confident demeanor on the battlefield cannot be faked; it is a genuine expression of self-belief and self-confidence that only a true spirit can possess.

As an examiner, he often faces challenges from challengers, and Qin Ming's current performance has completely exceeded his expectations.

"This demeanor must be that of a high-ranking official's son raised by some prestigious elven family."

He pulled back his thoughts and nodded to the referee.

"The battle between the two sides has officially begun!!"

As the referee waved his flag, the battle between the two sides officially began.

"Come out, Magmafon!!"

Bi Xiangming quickly dispatched his battle Pokémon, a plump duckbill flamingo that stood 2 meters tall, which appeared on the battlefield.

The duckbill fire beast's fur looked as if it were on fire, and even the breath it exhaled seemed to be burning.

His arms looked like huge cannon barrels, and his body was covered with flame-like patterns.

……

To counter the Fire-type Magmortar, Qin Ming chose to use Lucario.

"Dog, come out here!!"

"Luca~!!!"

After a flash of red light, Lucario made a dashing entrance. Almost instantly upon entering the arena, Lucario assumed a fighting stance, his crimson eyes firmly locked onto his opponent on the battlefield, completely unaffected by the audience.

As Lucario appeared, a murmur of discussion arose from the crowd.

"Wow, this young man actually has a Lucario, and it looks like it's already at the Gym Leader level!!"

"Damn, are all young people this strong these days? I've been a full-time trainer for five years and it took me five years to train a Gym Leader-level Pokémon. It's really infuriating to compare yourself to others!"

"It's confirmed! This is absolutely true!"

"This young man must be from a high-ranking family with a long history in the Pokémon world. Otherwise, he wouldn't have a rare Pokémon like Lucario, let alone be able to train a Gym Leader-level Pokémon in such a short time."

"Right? No wonder he was so arrogant, daring to challenge the Charmander Medal without even a single badge. Turns out he came prepared. So he thought the badge was too weak and that's why he challenged it directly."

……

Lin Hongsheng, watching from the audience, squinted and commented, "The trainer is highly focused, calm, and confident, showing absolutely no signs of nervousness."

"The same goes for elves; the moment they appear, they focus their attention on their opponent and never look away for a second."

"It's clear that both the trainers and the Pokémon undergo systematic training."

"As for Lucario's rank, it should have been cultivated beforehand."

Naturally, Lin Hongsheng, like everyone else, believed that Qin Ming came from an elven family.

"But there doesn't seem to be an elven family with the surname Qin, does there?"

Lin Hongsheng's expression changed from curiosity to question: "Xiao Song, where is your classmate from?"

"Forehead…"

Song Yun replied somewhat uncertainly, "Qin Ming's parents seem to own a company in Guangzhou... I'm not sure about the specifics."

"However, I saw Qin Ming post about his Lucario on his WeChat Moments when he was in high school. Back then, it was still a Riolu."

"It was after entering university, or more precisely, after entering the secret training environment, that it evolved."

"what?!"

Lin Hongsheng's question deepened: "You mean Qin Ming isn't from an elven family?"

"Ok!"

Song Yun responded and turned her beautiful eyes to the battlefield: "Uncle Lin, the battle has begun!"

"Qin Ming..."

Lin Hongsheng muttered Qin Ming's name under his breath, his gaze drifting towards Qin Ming on the battlefield, as if he were pondering something.

Chapter 89, The Great Challenge: Breaking School Records

Most trainers rarely choose to capture Magmar because Magmar's evolution is a bit troublesome; to evolve Magmar into Magmar, you need an item called the Magma Amplifier.

The prices of evolution items vary considerably, with cheaper ones being minerals such as Water Stone, Fire Stone, and Thunder Stone.

Evolution holding items such as the Steel-type Metal Coating, the Dragon-type Dragon Scale, and the Electric-type Power Amplifier are all quite expensive.

To put it bluntly, very few trainers can afford to evolve Magmortar.

Besides the high cost of evolution, there's also the appearance of the Duckbill Flame Beast, which looks a bit wicked and doesn't seem so easy to get along with.

The above two reasons are why Magmortar isn't very popular with trainers.

Despite its high evolution costs and unattractive appearance, the Magmamon is quite powerful.

Magmortar has very good base stats: 75 HP, 95 Attack, 67 Defense, 125 Special Attack, 95 Special Defense, and 83 Speed.

With a total base stat total of 540, it's slightly stronger than the average starter Pokémon.

On the battlefield, Qin Ming's gaze narrowed slightly.

"My luck was pretty good today!"

In a Fighting/Steel matchup between a Fighting/Steel-type Lucario and a Fire-type Magmortar, Magmortar undoubtedly has the advantage in terms of type.

Despite being at a disadvantage in terms of attributes, Qin Ming still felt lucky because the duckbill fire beast in front of him had a fatal flaw.

Skill!

Based on its base stat distribution, Magmortar's Special Attack stat is superior to its Physical Attack stat.

However, the Fire-type moves that Magmortar currently knows are Ember, Flame Wheel, and Flame Punch.

Spark is relatively weak, while Flame Wheel and Flame Fist are quite powerful, but both require close-range combat to use.

Magmortar hasn't mastered Flamethrower, the signature fire-type move.

Close combat is something Lucario, a Fighting-type Pokémon, excels at. Furthermore, failing to master Flamethrower essentially cripples Magmortar's strongest ability.

That's why Qin Ming felt he was lucky.

Before the battle even began, examiner Bi Xiangming immediately launched his attack.

"Duckbill Flame Beast, use Strange Light!!"

[Strange Light: Displays a strange light to confuse and disorient the opponent.]

"Duckbill~!!!"
