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

"Senior, shall we go?"

"Junior, let's go!"

..................

By the time Su Hao and the short-haired senior arrived, the battle was already nearing its end.

"The chandelier is cursed, misfortunes never come singly!"

The girl's ethereal voice rang out, echoing in the arena like the evening bell announcing the end.

A bizarre black and red phantom rose from behind the Crystal Chandelier Spirit, flashing past the Bricaron, whose body was covered in burn marks and scars, at a speed imperceptible to the naked eye.

Although both sides are at the early stage of professional level, the battle is one-sided.

“Kalon…”

Bricaron could no longer hold on and collapsed to the ground.

The power of the "Misfortunes Never Come Alone" move under abnormal conditions was terrifying; Bricaron simply couldn't withstand it.

A moment later, the noisy and amazed crowd spontaneously created an opening.

Only then did Su Hao and the short-haired senior get a clear look at the trainer of Chandelure, the genius girl named Ning Ling.

She has long, straight, smooth black hair, wears a dark-toned long dress, and has very delicate features on her small, oval face. At first glance, she has a delicate and cute appearance.

However, based on her attire, eyes, and temperament, Su Hao felt that she was somewhat gloomy and not good at socializing.

There was another girl following Ning Ling.

The girl's voice was very loud; even Su Hao and the short-haired senior standing at a distance could hear it clearly.

"As expected of Ning Ling, she possesses the Crystal Lamp Spirit, which has a 100% chance of triggering an abnormal status as long as the move hits. She defeated the senior from Tsinghua University so easily."

"It seems that Ning Ling, winning first place in the College Cup is a sure thing."

"Even Su Hao's Incineroar, which is also a professional-level ace, is no match for your Flare-type Chandelure!"

------------

It seems like the high school entrance exam is coming up soon?

Wishing all my fellow students taking the high school entrance exam the best of luck in getting all the questions they know and all the ones they guessed correct!

Chapter 266 Road Guidance

The shouts that Ning Ling could easily win the college cup championship resonated with many onlookers, including high school seniors and some university students.

Some say that winning the championship is just the first step, and that she will definitely become a gym-level or even an Elite-level trainer in the future.

Some say that she will lead Tsinghua and Peking Universities to retain their crown in the university league and defend their championship title.

The endless stream of praise brought a blush to Ning Ling's face, who hadn't said much except for commanding the battle.

Su Hao, who was inexplicably caught in the crossfire and became a target in the distance, didn't show any particular emotion.

Once a trainer gains a little fame, there will inevitably be online debates and discussions about which trainer can easily defeat another trainer or which trainer is a natural counter to another trainer.

The same applies to reality; everything comes down to how you actually do it.

Moreover, excessive praise is not a good thing; it can easily backfire.

The senior with the buzz cut explained, "She's already secured a place at Tsinghua or Peking University through the guaranteed admission program, so she can come here to study right after graduating high school... But, junior, you..."

Putting all that aside, Su Hao was now facing his senior with the buzz cut, who was looking him up and down as if he had been enlightened.

"...Senior, what are you looking at?"

Suddenly, mysterious saxophone music filled the air. The short-haired senior, looking like he knew everything, said, "I was wondering why you looked so familiar when I first met you, junior. I only remembered when I heard that girl mention your name!"

"You, junior Su Hao! You're also a favorite to win the High School Cup, having trained a professional-level Pokémon in just half a year of your senior year, and you actually sneaked off to visit Tsinghua and Peking University... Tsk tsk."

The senior with the buzz cut smacked his lips as he spoke, as if he were proud of his keen observation and memory.

Su Hao was stunned for a moment, not expecting that even a senior from Tsinghua or Peking University would recognize him.

"Junior Su Hao, they're all so arrogant, why don't you go and teach them a lesson?"

"Although your ace fire-type move will lose 90% of its power when it's set on fire, you still have dark-type moves that are effective against ghost-type moves. It's hard to say who will win."

The short-haired senior was clearly trying to provoke Su Hao, as if he really wanted Su Hao and Ning Ling to fight.

Su Hao shook his head.

"There's no need for that. This is just her friend's side of the story. Let's wait for the High School Cup to see who wins the real battle."

If he really rushes over and slaps him in the face, things will probably get complicated and troublesome.

"Alright then, shall I show you around the campus again, senior?"

"Okay, thank you for your help, senior."

Just like when they entered the secondary arena, Su Hao and the short-haired senior quietly left the secondary arena, unnoticed by anyone.

.................

Two weeks later, in Yangcheng.

In the past two weeks, Su Hao has been invited to visit many universities, and the conditions offered to him have been extremely generous.

Even with Ning Ling, who also possesses a professional-level Pokémon due to a fortuitous encounter, the conditions offered by various universities remained unchanged.

Waiving tuition fees and providing resources are basic conditions.

Guaranteed job placement upon graduation, the right to choose from pseudo-legendary to rare Pokémon, benefits as a team member upon enrollment, and a dedicated teaching team, among other things...

Some schools have even taken a different approach, offering guaranteed job placement.

They proposed that if Su Hao chose their school, they would hold a grand social event full of handsome men and beautiful women until Su Hao found a partner.

But these things are temporarily dispensable for Su Hao.

Furthermore, the accommodation conditions at these schools range from the best double rooms at Tsinghua University, Peking University, and Shanghai University to the worst four-person rooms.

Although Su Hao could buy a house off-campus, it would be too much trouble to travel back and forth.

Let's wait until the University Cup is over before going to Jiangcheng University.

The detached villa Zhao Yunlan mentioned is really appealing...

After the visit, he also took some time to go to Shanghai to meet with Ibu and Su Qing before going home.

Right now, in Su Hao's yard, Diancie, having gained some insight into light after defeating the Void and Shadow, is sunbathing.

Milotic and Blaze on the side

The Flame Roaring Tiger is sparring.

Each physical attack from the Blazing Roaring Tiger is lightning-fast, powerful, and deals extremely high damage.

Even a resilient creature like Milotic often finds itself in perilous situations, requiring it to unleash its full energy to heal its injuries.

At elite level, the Great Tiger is difficult to deal with Milotic; its attacks are like scraping a scald, failing to inflict effective damage that could secure victory.

Now that Incineroar has reached Pro level, its status has reversed, and Milotic, even at the late Elite level, is unlikely to defeat it before breaking through to Pro level.

In addition, Doronchi and Doronmesia flew at extremely high speeds in the low air, occasionally blurring their bodies to dodge attacks from behind.

Today is the third day of Riolu's official training.

Three days ago, Riolu, having completely shed its infancy, volunteered to participate in the training, seemingly eager to become stronger.

This is different from his usual extremely cautious and probing behavior in daily life.

During training, Riolu continues to adhere to the principle of caution and observe carefully. When the time comes to act, Riolu will not delay the opportunity due to caution, but will be very decisive.

Su Hao's Riolu is male and has the well-known ability "Prankster".

That's right, it's the once-popular Coach Lu.

With the Mischievous Heart trait granting +1 priority to change moves, Coach Lu has used Guided Moves in numerous doubles matches.

This ability transforms into the "Justice" ability after evolving into Lucario, which increases the user's Attack by 1 after being hit by a Dark-type move, thus giving rise to the "Siege Team".

These two characteristics manifest slightly differently in reality.

This is the current data for Riolu.

Pokémon: Riolu

Attribute: [Fighting]

Gender: Male

Trait: [Mischievous Heart]

Level: [Beginner Level, Early Stage]

Item: [Lucario Mega Stone]

Techniques: [Lightning Flash, Hold On, Bullet Punch, Teleport]
