Chapter 114: Fang Yuan Appears_1

Twenty-five students from Pingcheng No. 1 Middle School were participating in the school team selection, and ten of them had come this time.

However, the number of students from Wuzhou Number One High School participating in the school team selection reached the size of a class, amounting to thirty-nine people.

Inside the Wuzhou No.1 Middle School Stadium.

All the students participating in the selection for Wuzhou No.1 Middle School's school team sat in the spectator seats to watch the game, aside from that, teachers from the senior year's training classes also arrived at the scene.

As for the contestants...

They were sitting in the front rows of the spectator seats on both sides of the field, waiting for instructions.

At the same time.

The students watching from Wuzhou No.1 Middle School looked in the direction of the Pingcheng No.1 Middle School competitors, discussing animatedly.

"Those two young ladies from the opposing school are so beautiful, if they could be my girlfriends, I'd definitely transfer there..." a student said, pointing in the direction of Lin Jing and Zhou Xueyao.

"What are you dreaming about? You don't even have the qualifications to compete, and you want a girlfriend?" his companion retorted unceremoniously.

"But I'm not necessarily weak! Pingcheng No.1 Middle School ranks so low in the province, while we are in the top ten."

"And look at the Pokemon of their school team members..." The Trainer pointed in the direction of Fang Yuan, who was out of place among the other Pingcheng No.1 Middle School team members; at that moment, he was talking to the Eevee on his shoulder.

"They even brought an unevolved Eevee just to make up numbers, how strong could they be?" Several guys looked toward Fang Yuan and Eevee.

Luckily... they didn't delve into what Fang Yuan was saying and didn't try to read his lips; otherwise, they would certainly have come across a handful of obscure phrases like "cellphone", "add half an hour", "buy another one"…

...

"Their school leaders' speeches are too long-winded." Seeing that the match had yet to start, Yang Han found Zhao Yan again. Zhao Yan thought about it and decided to communicate with the school leaders to chop off the whole nonsense speech segment and get straight to battling, which is far better than anything else.

Under the pressure of the two professional trainers, the school leaders helplessly canceled a series of lengthy segments and directly announced the start of the exchange matches.

A young referee walked to the referee's stand and signaled both sides to send out their trainers.

Representing Pingcheng No.1 Middle School was Yue Chenfei.

Yue Chenfei's beginner Pokemon was a Dark Crow.

A rare dark type spirit, it resembled a crow. Its body was black, and the feathers on its head were shaped like a wizard's hat.

Because the Dark Crow could fly and had mastered a ghost type move, Yue Chenfei's performance in the selection training was second only to Fang Yuan and his peers.

Yue Chenfei stepped onto the field and saw the trainer from Wuzhou No.1 Middle School; the opponent was a tall and burly student, at least two meters tall.

"Ah lei."

"Why," Liu Le cried out in surprise, "why is he growing vertically, and I'm growing horizontally?"

Regarding the guy who had no clue about himself, the people sitting beside him chose to ignore him.

Soon, under the referee's command, students from the two schools threw out their Poké Balls neatly.

"Dark Crow!"

"Iron Armored Rhinoceros!"

Iron Armored Rhinoceros?

It was a quadrupedal beast Pokemon, grey in color, covered in impregnable grey armor all over its body. Its natural body strength was very high, and even a collision with a piece of steel wouldn't affect it much.

"Cheng Mingzhe, go for it!!!"

As the cheering from the Wuzhou No.1 Middle School's spectator seats erupted, Yue Chenfei's expression became somewhat solemn.

Iron Armored Rhinoceros, huh... Not an easy opponent.

"Huff huff huff huff!" As soon as it entered the field, the Iron Armored Rhinoceros snorted as it looked up at the Dark Crow in mid-air.

"Yami~~" The Dark Crow taunted back.

The battle began—

A mass of black fog slowly rose, shrouding the Dark Crow's body.

In the pitch-black fog, the silhouette of the Dark Crow moved swiftly, completely merging with the dark mist.

The thick fog that was rushing towards them made it very difficult to discern the Dark Crow's whereabouts.

This was Yue Chenfei's favorite method of fighting, utilizing a combination of Black Mist and Dark Phantom.

"Iron Armored Rhinoceros, Dragon Pulse!"

Cheng Mingzhe's expression didn't change as he issued the command in a calm manner. The next moment, a blue wave of light swept out from the Iron Armored Rhinoceros, dispelling the black fog and knocking the Dark Crow to the ground!

"Haha!!" In the spectator seats of Wuzhou No.1 Middle School, a group of school team members burst into laughter.

As one of the deputy team candidates for the Wuzhou No.1 Middle School team, and with a Professional Trainer for a dad, Cheng Mingzhe was no easy opponent.

This Dragon Type Gifted Iron Armored Rhinoceros, whose Dragon bloodlines had endowed it with strong physical attributes, had been carefully bred by a Professional Breeder for sale. It was not something one could simply purchase without connections, and unlike in games, the Dragon Type energy in reality was incredibly powerful. Even when used by a Pokemon like the Iron Armored Rhinoceros, it was formidable.

"Uh... sorry, I thought the Dark Crow could dodge it," Cheng Mingzhe said with a smile when he saw the Dark Crow was unable to stand up, to even louder laughter from Wuzhou No.1 Middle School's side.

Yue Chenfei's face turned pale.

He hadn't expected to lose so quickly, and in a flash, his face was flushed red with anger.

"This guy... he was too confident in the Dark Crow's ability to hide, otherwise it could have dodged it."

At the Pingcheng No.1 Middle School players' seats, the cheerful shouts from the other side made them feel quite suppressed, and Fang Yuan, playing with Eevee, shook his head slightly. The Iron Armored Rhinoceros's strength already surpassed most of the seed players in the Little Phoenix King Cup, so it was no wonder that Yue Chenfei was defeated so easily.

Even if Liu Le or Lin Jing were to take the stage, they wouldn't fare any better.

What level was this person among the opposing players?

"I'm sorry..."

After stepping down with a mind blank with defeat, Yue Chenfei apologized.

"Don't worry about it. The Breeding level of the Iron Armored Rhinoceros is simply above your Dark Crow. However, we will correct your complacency when we get back," Director Wu spoke solemnly.

This Cheng Mingzhe was indeed difficult to deal with.

Yang Han glanced at Zhao Yan, who was all smiles, and cursed under his breath for being cunning, for sending out such a strong player like Cheng Mingzhe right from the start, obviously with ulterior motives.

The three team-leading teachers from Pingcheng No.1 Middle School looked towards the players available for the match: Fang Yuan, Lin Jing, Liu Le, Zhou Xueyao...

"I'll go." Zhou Xueyao, with a firm expression, volunteered, "Compared to the speed of Dragon Pulse, my Bulbasaur's Vine Whip and Razor Leaf are faster, and I have the advantage in terms of attributes."

Director Wu and Teacher Bai Ning were about to say that it might not be as simple as she thought, but then Yang Han said, "Alright, go ahead."

Zhou Xueyao nodded and stepped into the arena.

Subsequently, under the referee's instruction, she sent out her Bulbasaur.

"Relying on attribute advantage?" Cheng Mingzhe commented, "Such a simple strategy."

Facing Cheng Mingzhe's muttering, Zhou Xueyao remained silent.

The battle was about to ignite!

Zhou Xueyao, without a second word, gave the order for Razor Leaf.

Whoosh! Whoosh! Whoosh!

The Bulbasaur swung its body, and several leaves sliced through the air at high speed. Seeing this, Cheng Mingzhe gave a command, and the Iron Armored Rhinoceros unleashed another Dragon Pulse, shattering all the leaves.

However, since the attack was aimed at blocking the Razor Leaf, its direction was within the calculations of Zhou Xueyao and Bulbasaur; hence, Bulbasaur didn't receive any damage.

Instead, using this gap, Bulbasaur launched another attack, striking at the Iron Armored Rhinoceros!

"The Iron Armored Rhinoceros's Dragon Pulse isn't quick to release and it takes a breath afterward. This move must be quite draining, and Xueyao is probably trying to exploit that by sneaking an attack with Vine Whip," Lin Jing speculated.

"Can it hit?"

Facing the sudden Vine Whip, Cheng Mingzhe's command quickly shifted the situation. With a Heavy Stamp from the Iron Armored Rhinoceros, the arena shook, a surge of Ground-based energy swiftly rolled by, causing the Bulbasaur to lose its balance.

"Such strong power!" Although it was not up to the Earthquake Technique, this Heavy Stamp bore a striking resemblance to an earthquake.

Bulbasaur lost its balance, and the Vine Whip went astray. Seizing the opportunity, the Iron Armored Rhinoceros swiftly conjured rocks to smash down on Bulbasaur. Zhou Xueyao's pupils contracted to see the Bulbasaur buried under the fallen rocks, losing the ability to fight.

Pingcheng No.1 Middle School, two consecutive defeats. In the players' seating area, silence fell all at once.

Liu Le abruptly stood up, intending to take to the field, but was held back by Fang Yuan.

"I should do it. It's safer," Fang Yuan said calmly.
