Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game

Not only Bai Zhengqiu himself, but also the audience members were discussing this issue enthusiastically.

"Oh no, it's really turned into a halftime champagne celebration."

"What's going on? Didn't the mirror reflection hit? How come it only did so little damage?"

"Milano is open?"

"Fun fact: The color of the mirror-reflected beam is pink, a color mixed with the reflective properties of the attack."

"If I'm not mistaken, it looks like...purplish-red? That means Magneton is reflecting Dragon-type moves?!"

"That doesn't make sense. From the beginning until now, Xia Chen has only given one command: water spray. When did he let Milotic use a Dragon-type move?"

"I don't know, but this is the most reasonable and only possible explanation. As for how Xia Chen did it, only he himself knows."

"Tsk, the righteous are one foot high, but the evil are ten feet high!"

"Damn it, he got away with it again!"

…………

Looking at the fallen Magneto, Xia Chen's lips curled up slightly.

I knew this kid was up to something. Despite being at a disadvantage, he didn't try to take the initiative at the start, instead acting like he wanted to play defensively and counter-attack.

Aside from Mirror Reflect, a move that doubles the damage on the Special Attack side, there's no other move worth sacrificing to take a Water Spray.

The mantis catches the cicada, and the oriole is behind.

Are you the only one who can preview?

Xia Chen thought to himself with considerable pride.

As for why he could make Milotic add a dragon breath after spewing water without being commanded, it was closely related to the "Dragon Taming Power" bestowed upon him by the Dragon Island Venerable.

The power of the fairy world is truly wondrous.

Perhaps it affected Xia Chen's brainwaves or something. Although the power of dragon control could not enable him to communicate telepathically with Milotic and the little dragon, they could understand some of the simple thoughts in each other's minds.

This tactic is especially useful in combat. Sometimes, even a small difference in information between the two sides can completely change the situation.

Just like that dragon breath from just now.

Back on the battlefield, the match continues.

After all, it was a crucial school team position change challenge. Although the start was unsuccessful, Bai Zhengqiu did not give up.

He recalled the Magneton, which had lost its ability to fight, and sent out his second Pokémon.

A flash of white light appeared, and an elf that looked exactly like a steel durian appeared.

Three small, grass-green iron balls connected by vines slammed heavily onto the ground, making it stand up like three legs.

Bai Zhengqiu's second Pokémon was none other than the excellent defensive Pokémon, known as Ferrothorn, which had no weaknesses except for being 4x weak to Fire.

…………

The Nut Dumbbell's excellent dual defenses and durability, along with its outstanding resistances, make it a headache for opponents on the battlefield.

Is Milotic easy to beat?

It's naturally difficult to fight. Once Milotic gets hit by Leech Seed, it doesn't have many moves that can hit Grass/Steel types, so it basically has no way to deal with the opponent's Ferrothorn.

However, the force of Cao Gang's powerful whipping is not low. If this continues, it may actually give the opponent an opportunity.

Xia Chen was never stubborn. Upon seeing the annoying giant iron ball, he immediately replaced Milotic with Sylveon, who possessed magical fire abilities.

While Xia Chen was switching Pokémon, Bai Zhengqiu naturally wouldn't be idle. Before Sylveon could even enter the arena, he commanded Nutbell to charge forward.

"Nut dumbbells, spinning tops!"

"Fur—"

With a dull thud, the nut dumbbell lifted off the ground, and the inertia from the movement of the iron balls flipped its heavy body over.

Immediately, the three rattan whips connecting the nut dumbbell's body to the iron ball began to swing and spin powerfully.

Along with the nut dumbbell, its body also began to spin rapidly like a top.

It's a Steel-type move, Gyro Ball.

This was clearly a move that Nut Dumbbell was extremely skilled at; he had already executed the series of movements smoothly before Sylvanas even landed.

Moreover, the three swinging and spinning iron balls provided inertia for the body below, making it spin faster and faster, while the energy within the body also drove the three iron balls to swing even more wildly.

This virtuous cycle continued for only a few seconds before a silver-gray spinning top with a meteor hammer on its head, wheels of fire on its feet, and iron spikes all over its body roared towards Xianbu, who had just landed on its feet!

…………

"Xianbu, ignore it, use Magic Fire!"

Xia Chen's command immediately stopped Xianbu, who instinctively tried to extend her silk ribbon to distance herself from the increasingly dangerous spinning top.

Xianbu was stunned for a moment. Then, she realized that the strength of this nut-shaped dumbbell was far inferior to her own. Her opponent would definitely not be able to withstand a magical flame. Why bother to create distance?

Finch was frustrated that she still couldn't shake off her instinctive dependence. Then, she turned her frustration into anger and vented it on the nut dumbbells that were oblivious to her impending doom.

Fire energy, mixed with a hint of fairy aura, surged to his chest. In the next instant, a fire dragon with specks of pink light roared out and crashed head-on into the still spinning top ball.

After being scorched by the blazing flames for about three or four seconds, the nut-dumbbell's silver-gray body, interspersed with green, was completely charred black.

The three crispy roasted vines drooped limply, and the spinning top ball slowly stopped spinning before crashing to the ground.

With the end of the magical flame, the elf, on whom Bai Zhengqiu had placed his hopes for a comeback, had lost its ability to fight.

One strike, instant kill!

audience:"......"

This nut-shaped dumbbell that disgusted countless trainers has just collapsed?

While it's true that Steelix is ​​four times weaker to Fire, the Valve's durability isn't low either, so why does it act like a fragile little thing...?

After two months, has the strength of this Immortal Cloth, this Xia Chen, really become so exaggerated?

If Milotic's Dragon Breath in the previous match showcased Xia Chen's predictive command skills, then Sylvanas's magical flame demonstrated the raw strength of Xia Chen's lineup.

Just two months ago, Xia Chen, while also employing various tricks, still needed to rely on concealing his true abilities to advance to the school team...

Is staying at Cynthia's house for two months really that effective?

Chapter 219 This is the consequence of not believing in God!

When Sinbu effortlessly defeated Nuts Dumbbell, bringing the score to 2-0, the match was essentially over.

Milotic and Sylveon are in good condition, and Xia Chen's last Pokémon hasn't even appeared yet. This means that if Bai Zhengqiu wants to turn the tide, he will have to achieve a one-versus-three feat.

But if he really had that ability, why would he have been stuck outside the top 50 for so long?

So, after symbolically sending out his last elven bronze bell as a sign of defiance, Xanbuck simply ended the battle with two magical flames.

Thus, this positional switch match officially ended with Xia Chen successfully defending his position with a score of 3-0.

Aside from a minor mishap during the match, the result was as expected, and after Xia Chen left the field, no one paid any more attention to the game.

Needless to say, in the final few matches, the stronger school team members finished the battles with almost no effort against opponents who barely made it into the top 50, with scores mostly showing a crushing 3-0 or 3-1.

A little after 5 p.m., this month's reshuffling competition came to a complete end.

But everyone knows that the reshuffling rounds are just an appetizer before the main course; the selection rounds on the second day are the real meal.

That evening, Xia Chen received a text message from the school administration office containing the selection competition rules that he had been curious about for a long time.

As he envisioned, the rules were quite simple.

The competition consists of two rounds. In the first round, those ranked 21-30 will face off against those ranked 11-20, with opponents randomly drawn and the winners advancing.

Similarly, in the second round, the winner will be randomly selected to fight against one of the top ten players. Only the winner will be able to secure one of the ten spots in the Donghuang Youth Tournament.

Xia Chen's earlier guess was correct; the competition rules did indeed favor those with higher rankings on the ladder, but the beneficiaries were the top ten. He, ranked nineteenth, still needed to play two matches.

But it doesn't matter. Since the goal was set from the beginning to win the championship, how can we be hindered by the opponents in the qualifiers?

However, the depth of their current roster is still a bit lacking...

Xia Chen glanced at Soroya, who was practicing his movements in the training facility, and pondered for a moment.

I wonder if this little guy will be able to complete its evolution before the competition officially begins?

If Zoroark, the overlord of phantoms, were to be on the field, there would be a lot more to do...

…………

The following day, the main stadium of Kamikyo University welcomed its most exciting moment of the year.

Although it can't compare to the quadrennial Donghuang Tournament, the Donghuang Youth Trainer Competition has garnered the most attention recently during this period without major competitions.

Therefore, even though the competition has not officially started yet, the qualifying rounds, which serve as a warm-up for the competition, are already generating a lot of buzz.

Almost all the students who didn't have classes today arrived at the main venue early, waiting for the competition to begin.

Among the audience were many Pokémon battle enthusiasts from outside the school, who came to watch what can be considered a competition among some of the most outstanding young trainers in the capital.

At 9:00 a.m. sharp, the draw ceremony for the first round of the competition officially began.

Xia Chen followed the other school team members, who were also ranked between 11 and 20, onto the stage to draw their opponents.

Although there is actually no difference between being drawn and being drawn, at least the initiative is in the former's hands, which can be regarded as a reward from the school to those who rank higher.

According to the order, Xia Chen was the second to last person to draw an opponent, so naturally, he only had two opponents left to draw.

Faced with a choice between two options, Xia Chen missed out on the 27th place and drew an opponent ranked 22nd.

He wasn't very lucky, but he didn't care.

Upon closer inspection, Xia Chen even discovered that the opponent he had drawn was a trainer who primarily used Fighting-type Pokémon, which made things even better.
