My Pokémon changes freely

It was as if nothing had happened, Xingcai just followed behind the third and second grade teams.

At this time, Xingcai was thinking about one thing, that is, how to ensure that he would not reveal his cards in the group stage.

First of all, the priority of her own trump card. Mega Evolution Garchomp, this can't be called a trump card because it is not stable at the moment.

Too crystallized, this ability will probably be used after the start of the senior year competition, so by then it will not be a hidden trump card for her, but an obvious trump card.

In this case, Tai Crystallization will be the trump card that can be used first.

What about the second one? According to the order, Xingcai thinks it should be the use of the Red Lotus Armor Cavalry. Tan Bao has been looking forward to the battle for a long time. After this, she will no longer need to restrict Tan Bao's performance and can let her gallop freely on the battlefield.

After that, if someone can break through Tanbao's combination, Xingcai will activate her third trump card, which is the adaptable Xiao Zi.

At that time, she would let Xiao Zi go all out and even let her use [Victory Dance]. With these three trump cards in hand, Xing Cai hoped that they would not be exposed until the quarterfinals.

As for the MEGA evolution of Shark Chima, Xingcai still needs to do more research.

As all the college teams entered the venue, the group draw officially began.

Xingcai quickly drew her number: 15-1, the first contestant in the fifteenth group. Then she looked at Xin Han's number next to her, 1-22. The twenty-second contestant in the group.

"What do you think is the possibility that we will encounter a strong enemy?" Xingcai asked casually.

Xin Han looked at Xing Cai with disdain and said, "It's very likely that we've met someone like that, but for you, it's probably just a few people."

Xingcai nodded. She didn't say much, but just waited silently for the grouping to be completed.

Finally, the groups were officially announced.

Among the twenty-four people in the first group, Xingcai saw not only Xin Han's name, but also a familiar name: Zhen Ling.

"Xin Han, you should pay attention to this girl named Zhen Ling. I remember she is from Shanghai. She should be the ace player of Shanghai."

Xin Han nodded, but then she said: "Well, I only have one trick that works better now, let's see if I can use [Head-on Attack] to send a few players away."

"This competition system is very cruel. After all, only the top two can advance. It is hard to accept a loss." Jiang Ya reminded, "I am 7th in Group 24. In our group, there are the first place students from Chengdu High School and Jiangsu High School. I feel like I don't have much chance."

Zhai Menghui touched her chin and said, "My group is easier. Although there is also the top student from Hebei High School, most of the talents in Hebei will be absorbed by the capital and Tianjin. This top student must be strong, but he should not be to the point where I can't deal with him at all."

Xingcai nodded, and then she looked at her group.

Group 15, Trainer No. 1: Xingcai, Trainer No. 2: Hongzi.

When Xingcai saw the name, she immediately thought of something. She immediately took out her Rotom phone.

Hong Zi, the top student in the first grade of the senior year of Yaodu High School, has the following Pokémon lineup: Gengar, Magical Masked Meow, Shroomie, Rakuten Kappa, and Super Squash.

Just looking at this lineup, Xingcai felt sick.

The positioning of Gengar and Magic Masked Meow in this lineup is not guerrilla warfare, but exists as harvesters.

The resistance of Superbad and Lotte Kappa is very high. The combination of two big meat shields and the hypnosis tactics of the Defeat Ball Mushroom is a bit disgusting.

This guy is a tough rival.

Xingcai ran into a very powerful trainer. Coincidentally, Shi Lu, who was also highly anticipated, also encountered a very powerful trainer in her group.

The first place in Shancheng High School, Qin Yuejun.

His lineup was mainly composed of ground-type Pokémon, but among them, Xingcai saw a Pokémon that made her feel a little strange.

Why does your Yueyue Bear have a big red bump on its head?

Because of this subtle difference, Xingcai always felt that Qin Yuejun was a bit mysterious.

Soon, all the groups for the three grade levels were announced.

The most important opponent for Xingcai is the one facing Hong Zi.

She will also put in every possible effort to defeat Hong Zi.

What? You asked her why she didn't guarantee to defeat Hong Zi? She had to hide some tricks. Some things she really didn't want to show off too early.

"How do you feel about your grouping?"

"What else can it be? They are just serving as cushions for the top students in each major school. There won't be any major changes in the competition system after all the changes." Zheng Gang complained.

"You know what, if we guys make it to the top 32 unexpectedly, we can really brag about it."

A few of us were chatting with each other, and it was quite joyful.

Only Xingcai noticed that Shi Lu had disappeared from the team from Imperial Capital High School.

Chapter 8: They're all liars

As long as she left the battlefield, Shi Lu felt that her life had lost motivation.

Today, she met the girl named Xingcai.

But the other party seemed to be thinking about something and didn't pay much attention to her gaze.

Of course, Shi Lu also knew that since she did not take the initiative to say hello, it was impossible for her to get a response from the other party.

The main reason why she was absent-minded today was that she was replaced without any notice as the captain of the first grade of Teito High School.

The reason for being replaced was that her mother felt she was too tired and needed to recuperate.

So, it is clearly her own business, why does her mother always like to make decisions for her?

Shi Lu was already feeling very uncomfortable. She had accepted all the kindness from her mother and family, but why couldn't she decide some things on her own?

She didn't understand, and now she doesn't want to understand at all.

For the first time, she did not wait for her own car to pick her up, but walked alone on the streets of the imperial capital.

The street was not deserted at this time, and many people even recognized Shi Lu. They whispered to each other and did not dare to come forward to ask.

Shi Lu's mind was also in a mess at this time. She didn't want to think about anything, but some images kept flashing through her mind.

The brother who had always been very kind to her and whom she admired so much, harmed the family.

The family that had spared no effort to cultivate her had always exercised excessive control over her.

The Pokémon that she once loved the most did not seem to return to her as promised.

"Sure enough, they are all liars." Shi Lu just murmured, and the light in her eyes had long disappeared.

In fact, among all the people mentioned above, except He Lu, no one had ever made a promise to her.

Did her idolized brother Yu Mingxiao really make any promises to her? In fact, everything was just her wishful thinking.

She herself could never say no to her mother and family. Even if she was unwilling to do something, she didn't dare to say it.

Is all this because others are liars?

That was just Shi Lu's own excuse. Who was the real liar?

Shi Lu said softly: "I am also a liar."

Yes, she has always been a weak liar, deceiving herself all the time.

She lied to herself that as long as she could hold on this time, her family would give her a vacation. She lied to herself that Brother Yu Mingxiao was just traveling and would not never come back. She lied to herself that even if she let the metal monster go, it would come back to her in the future.

But how long will this trick of self-deception last?

Shi Lu felt like she was about to break down. She no longer knew what else could allow her to completely relax her body and mind.

Apart from Pokémon battles, this was the only thing that was fun for her.

She enjoys the fun of fighting. The joy of victory and the happiness of defeating the opponent have become her last spiritual support.

If she loses... She won't lose, she won't lose!!!

That’s right, because she is Shi Lu, a genius cultivated by the Shi family, a super newcomer, and someone who is bound to surpass Yu Mingxiao!

Thinking of this, Shi Lu couldn't help but touch the case on her wrist, revealing a black wristband with a blue crystal in the middle.

With it, Xishi Hairen can exert her most powerful strength. Therefore, no one can be her opponent, not even that Xingcai!!!

Crimson Knight is just a Pokémon that she has never seen before. How can a fire-type Pokémon possibly pass her Sea Lion?

Shi Lu walked alone on the road, and beside her was a bright avenue illuminated by lights.

Above that, the special bus of Bamin High School passed by quietly, and Xingcai happened to be on the roof of the car and saw Shi Lu standing alone on the side of the road.

“Well, there shouldn’t be anything else today, right?” Xingcai lay in Shaqima’s arms, trying her best to avoid being affected by the car below.

"Well, there is nothing else to do today. Do you have anything else to do?" asked Principal Zhang.

"Well, so I'll get off the car first." As he said that, Xingcai asked Shaqima to take him out of the car.

As soon as she landed, Xingcai collected the Pokémon. The control over Pokémon in the imperial city is quite strict, and she didn't want anything to go wrong.

Then, Xingcai stepped forward and shouted, "Um, you are Shi Lu, right?"

Hearing someone calling her, Shi Lu turned her head.

Just the moment she turned around, Shi Lu felt a special gaze.

It was a look she had never received from anyone else.

Why? Why does she seem to care about me?

At this time, Xingcai looked at Shi Lu with concern in her eyes.

"Um, are you okay? I noticed you weren't feeling well, so I came over to ask." Xingcai said generously, "So, are you okay?"

Not bad? I'm not feeling well. But Shi Lu just kept this sentence in her heart. She just said silently: "Thank you for your concern, I'm fine. Are you Xingcai?"

Xingcai nodded, but then shook her head, "I am Xingcai, but I can feel that you are in a bad condition."

"No, I'm fine. So, is this all you have to worry about?" Shi Lu suddenly became angry.

Xingcai didn't sense Shi Lu's anger, she continued, "Well, that's all. After all, we will meet on the battlefield later, so we'll talk about the future later."

Shi Lu was stunned for a moment. She thought Xingcai was going to say something harsh to her, but he didn't say anything harsh at all. He just came up to her and showed concern.

"Well, although I don't know why you are being so stubborn, I still suggest that you don't push yourself too hard." Xingcai said seriously, "You look like you are about to break down, which is really worrying."

Shi Lu was completely silent. For a moment, she didn't know how to respond to Xing Cai's words.

Don't push yourself too hard? But who is pushing me? Is it me? Isn't it my family?

"You're in such a bad state, you should rest early. It seems like you've been suffering from insomnia for a long time." Xingcai continued, "Okay, that's all I have to say. You are an excellent trainer, and I look forward to fighting with you in full condition in the future."

Xingcai continued to walk forward. As she walked, she took out her Rotom phone and started navigating.

"Ah, the routes in the imperial capital are really well-connected." Listening to Xingcai's fading voice, Shi Lu could only feel her heart beating.

The voice was louder and more passionate than ever before.

Chapter 9: Practice? Practice shit!

Early the next morning, Xingcai arrived at the Pokémon League Competition Center.

Her schedule today is very simple, starting at 3pm, playing two games, and basically finishing before 10pm.

As for why this time is chosen, it is mainly due to considerations for television and various broadcasts.

Although Pokémon battles are very popular, if they were held in broad daylight every day, there would definitely be fewer people watching.

As a national and even global sport, Pokémon battles naturally need to be held at a better time.

The reason why Xingcai went to the League Competition Center so early was to conduct some tests on his own Pokémon.

Out of consideration for confidentiality, Xingcai did not plan to test some of his own cards.

What she mainly tested was actually only Shark Qima's progress.

During this period, Shaqimana worked very hard and made obvious progress in his strength.

When fighting with Xiao Zi in the past, Shaqima could only passively take the beating. During this period of time, he has been able to fight with Xiao Zi for fifty or sixty rounds.

If I practice this further in the future, wow, I can’t even imagine what will happen.

Of course, Shark Qima was proud of this little progress, but then he was ruthlessly beaten by Xiao Zi again and fell into hard work mode again.

Today, Xingcai mainly wants to take Shark Qima to try out the new skills he has learned.

"Shaqima, use [Sailing]." Xingcai said casually. In the past, Xingcai always asked Shaqima to lay [Invisible Rock], but today she asked Shaqima to use the skill [Sailing].

Although both of them are essentially spikes, one is of rock attribute and the other is of ground attribute. In fact, it is good enough to have a chance to use one of these two spikes in a battle, but Xingcai seems to want Shark Qima to practice throwing two spikes at the same time.

This requires Shark Chima to have a good ability to control attribute energy. After all, these are two completely different attribute energies. Separating them and condensing them into skills at the same time requires the Pokémon to be able to do two things at once.

This is a simple thing for Xiao Zi, but it is not so easy for Shaqima.

Shaqima soon became flustered, and what he finally condensed became a mixed attribute. It was completely insignificant, and it was like slag that shattered at the slightest touch. It could not be called a nail at all.
