Elf: Starts with small diamonds, then mutates into Diancie.

After instantly unleashing Intimidate and High Five at the start of the game, Hot Cat can take advantage of the opponent's moment of hesitation to perform a [Bodybuilding] or [Trick] buff.

You can also launch a surprise attack while the opponent is unable to act, using powerful moves to directly reduce the opponent's health.

There are many ways to combine moves and techniques. In order to be flexible in actual combat, Su Hao also trained at his father's dojo.

Next up is Little Diamond. Little Diamond is already very strong, so for the past two weeks, he has been training more on energy and technique control. For this purpose, Su Hao even brought Little Diamond to learn from Giant Coal Mountain, who is very talented in energy control, from his father's team.

Although she didn't focus too much on improving her strength, Little Diamond still managed to break through to the initial elite level in the past two weeks.

Pokémon: [Small Diamond] [Mutant 35%]

Attributes: [Rock, Fairy]

Gender: [♀]

Characteristic: [Eternally Pure Body]

Level: [30]

Item: [Tianshi Super Stone]

Moves: [Tackle, Harden, Dazzling Gleam, Meteor Beam, Reflect, Light Screen, Ancient Power, Guard Split, Frenzy, Angular, Knock Off, Invisible Rock, Protect, Safeguard, Power Gem, Luna Power]

Little Diamond didn't learn many new moves. Only Mystic Guardian was taught to her by Su Hao through the system's nurturing function. The remaining moves, Power Gem and Moon Power, were learned by Little Diamond herself when using Primal Power and Magic Flash.

Even if the Pokémon in this world are not at the required level, they can learn moves that were only available at the [Elite] or [Professional] level before they were transported through training and talent.

Even with its slow movement, the little diamond that has learned the Mystic Guardian skill now has the ability to resist abnormal status attacks.

The Power Gem is a better fit for Scrambler's talents than the Primal Force, because Scrambler is already very good at light and beam-type moves.

Compared to the wide-range attacks of magical flashes, the power of the moon is more like a meteor beam, specializing in single-target attacks, and its power is astonishing.

Nowadays, Scrambler can easily defeat Scyther.

When Su Hao was commanding Little Diamond, he was already able to fight and defeat the elite mid-to-late-stage Pokémon that his father kept in the gym.

When Su Xu saw his son command Little Diamond to defeat the elite mid-level Torkoal that he had carefully raised in his gym, Su Xu excitedly slapped his thigh and exclaimed that his son had the potential to become a king!

Although it was just defeating an elite Torkoal without a trainer's guidance, Su Hao accomplished this just one month after receiving his starter Pokémon, which was still the first time in Su Xu's memory.

Even the geniuses of the Imperial Dragon Clan and the Sea People Clan of the Demon City, who were contemporaries of Su Hao, only managed to defeat Pokémon that had just entered the elite level when they used all their trump cards and went all out.

Just a few days ago, Su Xu's college roommate, who came from the Imperial Dragon Clan when he was young, was still bragging to Su Xu on a chat app.

Su Xu didn't know what was so great about having a nephew, especially since his own son had directly defeated a mid-elite Pokémon.

Su's father didn't ask his son if he had used his full strength. After all, Su's father had been a gym leader for so many years and he still had a good eye. It was obvious that Su Hao and Little Diamond were very relaxed.

Chapter 22 School starts

Today is the first day of school for Su Hao.

This also means that from today onwards, he is a senior high school student preparing for the college entrance examination.

After a full month and a half of winter break, Su Hao was quite satisfied with how much he had grown from a clueless newbie who had just received his starter Pokémon to where he was now.

After greeting classmates from other classes with whom he had a good relationship on the way, he arrived at his class—Class 1 of Senior Three.

Upon entering the classroom, the layout remained unchanged from before the holiday, with only half the students already sitting on the desks and chairs.

Almost every student had one or two Pokémon on their desk or next to their chair.

Because Su Hao and his classmates were students in the Elf Department, the classroom was exceptionally spacious.

It can accommodate all large Pokémon except Onix, Rhyperior, and Aggron.

However, most of the students' Pokémon are currently at stage one or two, and their size is not very large.

When Su Hao entered the classroom, many of his classmates who were familiar with him brought their Pokémon to greet him.

When he greeted them, he glanced at the Pokémon in the system and saw that most of his classmates' Pokémon levels were around 15 to 20.

Some levels may be one or two levels higher, but not many.

Walking to the second-to-last row by the window, Su Hao took out the prepared wet wipes and wiped away all the dust that had accumulated on the table and chairs.

After touching the Pokémon to make sure there was no dust, Su Hao released Little Diamond and Blaze from their Poké Balls.

The desk wasn't big, but it could still hold Little Diamond and Hot Cat.

The girls gathered around Su Hao's desk all lit up when they saw the small diamonds on his desk.

"Wow, Su Hao, your little diamond is so pretty!"

"Yeah, yeah, can we touch the diamond on her head?"

The girls who gathered around were all very interested in the small diamonds that had a hint of pink on them.

The handsome boy in front of me was very interested in the hot cat.

"Oh my god, this is the starter Pokémon Blaziken, right? It looks so strong!"

The boy at the table in front of Su Hao was named He Xu. He and Su Hao were quite close. After Su Hao nodded in affirmation, he said to the girls surrounding them, "I have no objection, but we need Xiao Suizuan's consent."

After Su Hao nodded, the girls took out some small and cute trinkets from their bags and handed them to Xiao Suizi.

The little diamond was also very happy to receive the gift, and nodded reservedly, agreeing to the girls' request.

Ten minutes later, Li Hua and Jiang Chengcheng also arrived at the classroom.

Li Hua was wearing glasses, a shirt, and casual pants. A blue jay was perched on his left shoulder, and a small, cute blue cotton bird on his right shoulder, making him look like an old man walking his bird in the park.

Jiang Chengcheng was still wearing her martial arts uniform, which made it obvious to anyone with eyes that she was a trained practitioner. In addition to Machop, she now had a Pokémon by her side.

It was a mischievous panda. Compared to the steady Wanli beside Jiang Chengcheng, the mischievous panda jumped around and teased cats and dogs as soon as it entered the classroom, and seemed to have a very lively personality.

Since they usually keep in touch, the three of them didn't need to get together and talk. After exchanging greetings, they each returned to their own seats.

Soon after, as soon as the homeroom teacher, Ms. Liang, entered the classroom, the senior class immediately fell silent because of her long-standing authority.

The students immediately returned to their seats and tried to keep their Pokémon quiet.

Ms. Liang, the homeroom teacher, slowly walked onto the podium, holding a thermos filled with flower tea.

After clearing her throat, Ms. Liang said, "From today onwards, you are all senior high school students preparing for the college entrance examination."

"Everyone received their starter Pokémon before the holiday. Except for some students who don't plan to become trainers, Pokémon battles will be the most important part of the college entrance examination."

"The results of the students' training during the holiday will be reflected in this grade-level competition when school starts."

"At the same time, I would also like to remind everyone that academic performance is also very important, and I hope that everyone has not slacked off during the holidays."

"Next, I'll talk about some things to note for this grade-level competition."

"All senior students must participate in this grade-level competition, as it is related to the students' academic performance."

The school will review your evaluations and assess your eligibility to participate in the Shenzhou Alliance High School League, held before the end of the first semester.

"This battle will use two Pokémon each and will be held in an elimination format."

"The top eight students from this competition will join the top eight students from other high schools in Yangcheng to represent Yangcheng in the preliminary rounds of the high school league!"

After explaining the grade-level competition, Ms. Liang led the whole class to the school auditorium to attend the opening ceremony.

Opening ceremonies are usually the same old thing, nothing special, just a bunch of motivational speeches over and over again.

Su Hao was almost falling asleep while standing, but finally, after the school leaders on the stage finished speaking, they announced the disbandment.

Upon hearing the dismissal notice, the drowsy students in the audience instantly perked up and, suppressing their excitement, orderly left the auditorium.

The homeroom teacher on the playground didn't say much, only that school was letting them go early today and they would have regular classes tomorrow, and then let Su Hao and the others off the hook.

School ended in the morning, and I had nothing to do anyway, plus I had plenty of time ahead of me.

After thinking it over, Su Hao decided to invite Li Hua and Jiang Chengcheng to go to the Xuri Dojo to register for the ranking competition.

Aside from a few players who are good at bots, most Pokémon Ball level players are at the Normal level, with Elite level players being quite rare.

Based on the data Su Hao saw from scanning Li Hua and Jiang Chengcheng's Pokémon, there shouldn't be any problem with them participating.

Upon hearing Su Hao's suggestion, Li Hua said she didn't mind and was fine with going anywhere, while Jiang Chengcheng was somewhat eager to try.

Seeing that they had reached a consensus, Su Hao immediately took out his phone and called a Steel Raven taxi.

Su Hao, holding Yanre Miao, got into a taxi, while Li Hua, sitting next to him, looked on with envy.

Since his chickpeated chickpea evolved into a blue raven, it has become rather aloof. Although it is still obedient, he always feels a little lonely.

How adorable the baby tits were when they were young! They would chirp and flutter around me, but now they're all gone!

Although the blue cottonbird is very cute, this one in his family has a bit of a personality problem; it's too clean.

He only touched the cotton wings of the blue cotton bird slightly, and the blue cotton bird couldn't wait to take a bath.

Hot Cat looks so obedient and well-behaved, you can pet it, hug it, and kiss it. It also looks quite strong, so its fighting power must be strong too.

Li Hua is now extremely jealous, perhaps even nine-tenths of the way. His best friend's Pokémon are just too tempting to look at.

Chapter 23 Poké Ball Level

Even on weekdays, the area in front of the Asahi Dojo is still packed with people and bustling with activity.
