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

As for Milotic, the only one who didn't fit in... Xia Chen couldn't really explain his situation.

After spending five days with Hakron, his fear of the unknown female dragon had gradually faded.

However, Milotic will instinctively resist if Hakron tries to make intimate moves.

But seeing Hakron's dejected expression, he would unconsciously approach him again.

In the parlance of some places in human society, it would be called "awkward".

Xia Chen was also worried about letting Minas play in this condition.

Ultimately, he decided to send his most reliable "general," Ibrahimovic, to the first match.

As for Milotic... let's not rush into it.

These past few days, his time with Hakron has gone beyond just romance; he has also gained a basic understanding of Ice Beam, Dragon Pulse, and even Awakened Power.

His talent was so exceptional that even the well-informed elite trainer Long Yue found it unbelievable.

However, mastering a technique is not something that can be accomplished simply by doing so. The saying "from beginner to grave" describes more than just learning programming.

From initial mastery to proficient application, it is a long process.

Before that, Milotic, who currently only knows Water Cannon and Butterfly Dance, should hurry up and train.

…………

On December 10th, the entrance examination for Kyoto University began in full swing.

Inside the Kyoto University Arena, which can accommodate tens of thousands of spectators, only a few spectators were scattered around, with an attendance rate of less than one-third, making it seem rather quiet.

To some extent, this is normal.

As the best university in the entire East, the students of Shangjing University are already extremely busy, so it's already a great honor that so many people came to watch the game.

The most outstanding high school students in the entire Donghuang region?

Who hasn't gone through this stage?

With its focus on arts, sciences, and esoteric arts, Beijing University is a gathering place for the most outstanding young people from all over Donghuang, and even from other regions.

However, compared to the lukewarm reception at the event, the online live stream hosted by Kyoto University still generated some buzz.

With about two weeks to go before the start of the Masters Tournament, it happens to be a lull between major competitions.

This entrance exam, which wasn't a formal competition, attracted a lot of onlookers.

Although Kyoto University broadcast the exam live, they didn't intend to turn it into a profit-making competition.

There was no commentary; the entire time, just a few cameras silently focused on the two Pokémon battling it out on the battlefield.

While the authentic command sounds and the clash of Pokémon moves may have deterred some viewers, many others simply love this style.

So even though the first day of the competition had been going on for almost a whole morning, there were still tens of thousands of viewers watching the competition intently in the live stream.

……

The first day of the competition was extremely long because a quarter of the more than one hundred candidates had to be eliminated.

The competition format for this exam is a double-elimination system, meaning each candidate has "two lives".

After losing once, you will automatically fall into the loser's bracket, and you will only encounter opponents from the loser's bracket until you become the loser's bracket champion and compete against the winner's bracket champion for the final victory.

Although the top six in the competition are all eligible for early admission, there are still differences among the top six.

The higher the final ranking, the better the treatment after enrollment.

Accommodation, scholarships, preferential treatment in training resources... In short, in the long run, the benefits that champions can receive are worth millions!

Every student who can participate in this entrance examination is one of the best in their respective schools and even cities.

No one thought they were worse than others; everyone was determined to fight their way into the top six, or even the championship.

However, while there is no first place in literature, there is no second place in martial arts. Although no one subjectively feels that they are inferior to others, the objective gap in strength always exists.

After a morning's work, the bracket and loser group assignments will soon be revealed.

Only one match remains in the morning's schedule.

It was lunchtime, which should theoretically be the time when the enthusiasm for watching the game is at its lowest. However, the appearance of a person and a Pokémon made the originally sparse barrage of comments denser.

They were even sending the same message in the comments, like they were exchanging secret codes.

"I'm super, Bu!"

Chapter 107 Self-created move, "Flattening"?

Looking at the middle-aged man opposite him, who had a full beard and a stout build, Xia Chen tried his best to maintain a smiling expression.

For a moment, he doubted whether he was participating in the early admission competition for Beijing University.

Or perhaps, this father, hoping his son will succeed, is fighting in his place?

However, after the referee checked the photo on the trainer's ID and confirmed that it was indeed him, he nodded and stepped aside.

Xia Chen: "......"

Perhaps some people just look older than their age...

At the first whistle, both teams introduced themselves.

"Shangtan City, Yunzhong Middle School, Wu Fang."

"Zhejiang City, Gucheng Middle School, Xia Chen."

There was no pre-match mockery, after all, the teachers from Beijing University were watching from the sidelines, and no one wanted to cause any trouble.

On the sidelines, the referee blew his whistle for the second time.

"Come out, Hawley!"

A flash of white light appeared, and a humanoid elf with muscles all over its body and a belt around its waist appeared on the field.

Meanwhile, his opponent, Ibrahimovic, whose size was vastly different from his, jumped onto the field from Xia Chen's feet.

Ibrahimovic?

Upon seeing this rare Pokémon, the teachers watching from the VIP seats exclaimed in surprise.

When we say it's rare, we don't mean it's extremely rare in terms of rarity. Eevee is a Pokémon... well, those who know, know.

It was rather unusual for Eevee to appear in this arena, which gathered perhaps the best academy-trained rookie trainers in the entire East.

Let's see what kind of spirits are competing against her.

Machamp, Feraligatr, Roserade, Meowth...

It's not that there aren't Eevee, but there are Flareon, Vaporeon, Leafeon, and the like.

At least buy an evolution stone before you compete, right?

…………

However, something unusual must be going on.

Anyone with eyes can see that there must be something unusual about Ibrahimovic's presence here, given that even if he jumps, he might not be able to hit Hagoromo's knee.

Several teachers on the sidelines had already started looking through the student's file, Xia Chen.

"The Bogaman Cup Zhijiang Station champion... Wow, that's pretty impressive. This Ibrahimovic should be interesting."

"Xia Chen? That name sounds familiar... I think I've heard it before?"

"I remember now, isn't this the high school student who researched the second evolutionary path of Milotic a while ago? He's not a breeding major?"

"Hiss... Success in both combat and training?"

"Old Song has been talking about me for so long, I never expected to see him here. Why didn't such an academic genius go to Yuhong University?"

"I don't know, but our Peking University's Cultivation Department is no slouch either. What if he doesn't pass this exam? How about we admit him to the Cultivation Department early?"

"Wonderful!"

While the discussion among the guests on the sidelines was in full swing, the third whistle blew on the battlefield.

The final match of the first round of the Tokyo University entrance tournament, Mahrez vs. Ibrahimovic, has officially begun!

------

"Machoke, charge in and use Brick Break to crush it!"

Wu Fang's command was straightforward and bold.

However, there's no need for any tactics when fighting an Eevee. Given the difference in strength and the type advantage, Wu Fang really couldn't imagine how he could lose.

All Machoke needs to do is get close and then ruthlessly defeat that little Eevee!

The entire series of matches took place in a standard amateur arena, which was not very large, with the initial distance between the two Pokémon being only a dozen meters.

Because its body is almost entirely covered by muscles, Hawley has an extremely high body density.

While possessing immense power, its slightly inferior speed and agility are unavoidable drawbacks.

Seeing that Haoli didn't use his bullet punch but walked straight over, Xia Chen calmly gave instructions from behind.

"Ibrahimovic, self-motivation."

Thanks to Ibrahimovic's amazing combat experience and reaction speed, Xia Chen usually chooses a playstyle that outsiders might think is incredibly greedy.

However, Ibrahimovic really enjoys this style of play. Just like in competitive games, the thrill of turning the tide is always greater than the satisfaction of having an easy win. This feeling of walking on the edge of danger makes Ibrahimovic's adrenaline surge, pushing his body to its limits.

Seeing Eevee standing still and buffing itself at the start of the game, Wu Fang remained unmoved.

It doesn't matter how much it's strengthened.

No matter how much your attack power is enhanced, it won't stop my mighty palm from shattering you!

Although Haoli is slow, it can cover a distance of more than ten meters in three seconds.

Three seconds is exactly the amount of time Ibrahimovic needs to motivate himself.

Ibrahimovic's long ears twitched slightly as he sensed the approaching heavy footsteps, remaining calm and composed.

Finally, the footsteps stopped, followed by the howling of the wind overhead.

The instant Hao Li paused, he struck out with his palm. His palm, bursting with dazzling white light, transformed into a blade and plummeted downwards.
