Pokémon, start your journey from the East Glory Alliance

Zhang Long curled his lips.

"Director Zhao, do you think your words are convincing?"

"Ahem, well, all right, my dear classmates, get ready to go on stage!"

Led by Zhao Xuanzhen, ten 'pioneer' contestants followed him towards the venue.

The rest of the people sat in the lounge and watched the big screen.

On the big screen, the host in a black suit stood on a high platform holding a microphone and waved.

“Dear audience friends, let’s welcome the Lingnan University team with applause!”

There was a burst of warm applause and cheers on the field. Led by Zhao Xuanzhen, ten members of the school team entered the venue in high spirits.

"Let us welcome the Yongzhou University team with applause!"

Equally warm applause and cheers rang out as the Yongning University delegation entered from the other end of the venue.

The leader of Yongda University waved to the audience and then looked at Zhao Xuanzhen opposite.

The two of them just stared at each other across the battlefield. Even through the screen, Su Yuan could feel the stalemate.

Su Yuan asked curiously to Li Zhong who was standing beside him.

"Director Li, Director Zhao, is there any story between you and the leader of this Yongda team?"

Zhang Long on the side answered quickly.

"There must be a story behind this. Look at the way that man looks at Director Zhao. It's almost tearing."

"puff!"

Chen Siyuan, who was drinking water, suddenly spit it out.

"What do you mean by 'drawing wires'? This is clearly called 'calling wires'... that's not right, it should be called 'coming wires' ......"

Chen Siyuan suddenly found that he couldn't think of any suitable adjective.

"Okay, stop talking about this."

Li Zhong handed Chen Siyuan a piece of paper and said.

“Director Zhao and the director of the opposing department at Yongda, Lin Cai, are brothers in the same school. They had the same advisor when they were studying for their doctorates.

The relationship was pretty good at first, but later on, due to some emotional reasons, the two of them broke up.”

"Emotional problems?"

Upon hearing this, all the students around pricked up their ears and looked at Li Zhong curiously, expecting him to talk about what happened next.

Li Zhong paused, and he realized that he had said something he shouldn't have said.

"Ahem, well, these are all old memories. I won't talk about them anymore. I won't talk about them anymore."

"No, Director Li, you can't stop talking halfway!"

Zhang Long grabbed Li Zhong's arm and shook his head.

"Although I don't like love stories, you're leaving it halfway through and it's really too suspenseful."

"Kid, it's very immoral to discuss other people's past behind their backs. Okay, the game has begun. Watch the game carefully and observe the opponent's strength."

As he said this, he signaled everyone to watch the game quietly.

In the venue, the first round of points competition has begun.

As Zhao Xuanzhen said, both sides were testing each other in the first round. The strength of the players above was not particularly high, probably at the level of four to five badges.

However, the game was still very exciting, with both sides fighting back and forth and the score very close.

It’s a pity that everyone in the lounge was not focused on the game.

After two or three points matches, Zhang Long suddenly said.

"Director Li, it's not good to be discussed behind your back. Why don't you wait until Director Li comes back and tell us about it?"

"puff!"

Now it was Li Zhong's turn to spit out.

He stared at Zhang Long with eyes wide open in disbelief. He really wanted to pry open Zhang Long's head to see what was inside this guy's brain.

Everyone's attention, which had been slightly diverted to the game, was suddenly drawn back.

I don’t know which little girl said this from the crowd.

"Could it be that love turns to hate? Director Lin of Yongda University could not get the love from our Director Zhao, and finally it turned into hatred."

As soon as this idea came to my mind, it became a huge deal.

This crazy conjecture, coupled with the eye contact and sparks that Zhang Long and Chen Siyuan had mentioned before, made everyone subconsciously imagine a gay drama.

"Cough, cough, cough!"

Li Zhong was so shocked by these words that he started coughing.

When everyone saw Li Zhong's reaction, they felt more and more that the girl's guess was possible.

Seeing the students' increasingly complicated expressions, Li Zhong couldn't help but sigh in his heart.

"It's over. Old Zhao's reputation is ruined for half his life. I shouldn't take the blame. These are just the students' own guesses."

Zhao Xuanzhen, who was arranging his troops on the field and trying to find a way to get more points, suddenly felt a chill on his back.

"What's going on? Could it be that Shou Lincai has some hidden tricks up his sleeve? No, we have to be more careful."

The points match ended quickly, and the final result was 6 to 4, with Lingnan University winning by a large margin of two points.

“Let us applaud Lingnan University for taking the lead and thank the two teams for bringing us such a wonderful game.”

As the host's voice sounded, the first round of points competition ended.

The head of the combat department of Yongda University looked in the direction of Zhao Xuanzhen.

"Hmph, wait and see. I'll give you this point first. Don't lose too badly in the subsequent points games."

At this moment, Zhao Xuanzhen turned around and looked at Lin Cai as if he had telepathy.

"This kid definitely has no good intentions."

It was this glance back that caused the accident.

The director just cut to the end where the two team leaders were looking at each other affectionately.

"Hi~!"

In the lounge, Li Zhong couldn't help but take a breath.

I couldn't help but think to myself.

"Oh no, this old guy couldn't have really not told us something, could it be that it's really like what they guessed?"

The seeds of doubt will quickly take root and sprout once they are planted.

"No, no wonder this old guy is usually so cheerful with us male teachers, but keeps his distance from other female teachers. Could it be that he really has some special hobby?"

The more I think about it, the more it seems possible.

But Li Zhong was wrong. He stayed away from the female teachers simply because he had a tigress at home, who was even scarier than the Blazing Roaring Tiger. If he smelled a little perfume or something else when he went back, Director Zhao would have to face something more than a washboard.

"Everyone performed well in this first round. Sit down and have a good rest first."

After the first round of the competition, Zhao Xuanzhen led the ten students who had participated in the competition back to the lounge. Everyone in the lounge looked at Zhao Xuanzhen with complicated eyes.

This made Zhao Xuanzhen stunned.

"What's wrong? Is there something on my face? Or did you guys notice something wrong with the game just now?"

At the same time, Zhao Xuanzhen thought with deep doubt.

"That's weird. I think I played well in the first round of the points game. There shouldn't be any problems. Did I miss something?"

Chapter 63: Singles Tournament

Seeing Director Zhao coming back, curious Zhang Long immediately asked.

"Director Zhao, I want to ask..."

Su Yuan quickly covered Zhang Long's mouth.

"What's going on? Zhang Long, what do you want to ask? Su Yuan, why don't you let him speak?"

"Ahahaha, it's nothing, Director Zhao. It's just that Zhang Long saw that I was promoted ahead of schedule, so he wanted to be promoted too."

Su Yuan answered with a bunch of excuses, then pushed Zhang Long from behind to tell him to stop talking nonsense.

As soon as the kid stuck his butt out, Su Yuan knew what he wanted to do. If nothing unexpected happened, Zhang Long definitely wanted to ask Director Zhao if he was calcium.

If this kid really asked such a question in front of so many people, would Director Zhao still be able to stay in Lingnan University?

"Really, Zhang Long?"

Director Zhao looked at Zhang Long in confusion. He felt that there was something wrong with the way other people looked at him since he came back.

"Ah, well, yes."

Zhang Long also reacted and realized that he almost got into big trouble, so he immediately followed Su Yuan's thoughts and spoke.

"Hey Director Zhao, I want to play in the next game too, can you give me a chance?"

Although he felt there was a problem, Zhang Long himself didn't say anything, so he had to reply.

"No, Su Yuan's early appearance has disrupted our original plan. If you change the order of appearance, then our plan will be completely ruined."

"But Director Zhao, I also want to play in the game. I can't just be the mascot while everyone else comes to play."

Zhao Xuanzhen explained patiently.

"It's not that you can't play, but you need to make a move at the crucial moment. Winning the crucial game will be the key to our school's victory. Do you understand?

If you play early, maybe we can win, but that would just be icing on the cake.

But if you can turn the tide in a crucial game, that is called providing timely help.

Helping someone in need is always more amazing than adding icing on the cake, you understand?"

Zhang Long was stunned by Zhao Xuanzhen's words.

"I understand now. We should help those in need rather than add icing on the cake. We should be heroes who can turn the tide."

Otherwise, how could Zhao Xuanzhen become the department head? His eloquence is just so amazing.

Seeing Zhang Long's reaction, Zhao Xuanzhen nodded.

"That's right, and it's not that we didn't let you play, it's just that you came on stage a little bit late.

What will be going on next is the 63 singles competition, and every member of the school team will have a chance to play."

Zhao Xuanzhen stood up straight and spoke to all the school team members in the lounge.

"The rules of the 63 singles tournament are attack and defense. All players on both teams can play. The Pokémon of the champion cannot use berries or recover. The team that stands on the stage at the end wins. Everyone should have a chance to show off. Come on, come on, come on!"

When they heard that everyone had plans to go on stage, everyone became excited and shouted "Come on" in unison.

Su Yuan, on the other hand, rubbed his chin with his hands.

"The rules of this tournament are quite interesting. Not only does it test the strength of the trainers, it also tests the team leader's ability to deploy troops.

If the order of appearance is arranged properly, the opponent's elite can be worn out through round-robin battles."

Thinking of this, Su Yuan began to think about which Pokémon would be more suitable for him to use on the field later.

You must be able to quickly capture the ring and also be able to defend it.

If he was defending the ring, Boskodora was a must. As the core of the finale, Su Yuan would feel very confident as long as Boskodora stood there.

Then on the offensive end, choose two from Gengar, Gyarados, and Flamehawk.

"Okay, get ready to go on stage, everyone follow me."

Zhao Xuanzhen greeted everyone and led them towards the entrance of the venue.

"What are you thinking about? Let's go."

Zhang Long patted Su Yuan on the shoulder and motioned him to follow.
