“Chen Luo, you’re amazing! I didn't expect you to be so powerful!”
Wang Peng hooked Chen Luo’s shoulder and shook him excitedly.
“That Fire Fang! Tsk tsk, it was too cool!”
His shoulder was hurting from Wang Peng’s pats, so Chen Luo bared his teeth and pushed his overly excited roommate away a little.
“It was all Sandile’s doing.”
He looked down at the Poké Ball in his hand, gently caressing its cool surface. “You worked hard. Get some good rest first.”
“Come on, come on! We don’t have any more matches this morning, let’s go eat!”
Wang Peng waved his hand and pulled Chen Luo out.
“I saw a Moomoo Milk Cafe on our school forum. I heard it gets consistently good reviews. Let’s go check it out.”
Chen Luo was shoveling the steaming curry beef rice into his mouth while trying to sort through the fragmented memories that were gradually piecing together in his mind.
Chen Luo was not from Jiangcheng.
His home was in the distant Capital City.
The reason he brought Sandile to this second-tier city by the river for university was not due to some inspiring dream of higher education, but because he had run away from home.
The reason? It was to escape a marriage…
“Holy crap…” Chen Luo almost choked on a piece of beef.
Countless complaints flooded his mind like a barrage of bullet comments.
“What incredible luck!”
He almost wanted to slap himself!
His father, Chen Zhenyue, was the current Dark-type Elite Four of the Dong Huang Alliance!
He was a renowned figure, one of the top combat powers in the Alliance!
His mother, Su Wanqing, was the Chairwoman of the Eastern Pokémon Department Store Group!
She commanded a vast business empire and was a pivotal figure in the Eastern Elf industry!
What kind of divine family background was this?!
This was practically being born with a silver spoon and a pseudo-legendary egg – a perfect start!
Resources, connections, top-tier breeding knowledge, powerful Pokémon acquisition channels… things that ordinary people would struggle for lifetimes to even touch were practically within reach for the original owner!
Suddenly, it was as if Chen Luo’s memories awakened in his mind.
It was like he had a dream that he had lived a life on Blue Star, and then suddenly returned.
Chen Luo mechanically shoveled rice into his mouth.
“No wonder Sandile is so strong… His parents are both aces.”
This melodramatic plot, Chen Luo had only seen in some third-rate novels. He never expected to become the protagonist.
Escaping a marriage… truly, art comes from life and is greater than life.
At the same time, he also fully understood the significance of this “Jiangcheng Elf Academy Freshman Ranking Tournament.”
This was not just an entrance assessment.
Achieving excellent results in the Freshman Ranking Tournament would not only earn generous rewards provided by the academy.
More importantly, it was a stepping stone to join the academy’s school team!
The school team of Jiangcheng First Elf Academy represented the academy's highest combat power in the “Dong Huang Alliance Hundred School Elf Tournament”!
And the “Hundred School Elf Tournament” held a status in the Dong Huang Alliance second only to the “Champion Heavenly King Championship,” which determined the Heavenly Kings and Champions. It was a top-tier youth event!
Its significance was immense! Unparalleled!
Students who could stand out or even place in the Hundred School Tournament were all prodigies.
After graduation, at worst, they could easily obtain official certification as “Elite Trainers,” with bright futures ahead.
This was a crucial step, like a carp leaping over the dragon gate!
“Phew…” Chen Luo let out a long breath, suppressing his complaints about the original owner and the shock brought by this illustrious background.
Since he was here, he would make the best of it.
His cheat, the “Data Eye,” was his greatest reliance right now.
“What are you thinking about? You look so deep in thought.”
Wang Peng finished the last sip of fresh milk and let out a satisfied burp.
…..
Returning to the bustling battle arena, the afternoon sun was even more scorching, and the air seemed to be shimmering.
The venue was indeed divided into more areas.
Due to the large number of matches, many sophomores and juniors were acting as referees.
As soon as Chen Luo and Wang Peng found the area for Class Three, they heard the broadcast:
“Field Seven, Class Three Chen Luo, against Class Twelve Li Wei! Both contestants, please enter the arena as soon as possible!”
“It’s your turn again! Go, Luo Ge!”
Wang Peng gave a thumbs up.
Chen Luo nodded, gripped his Poké Ball, and stepped onto the familiar field once more.
This time, he was much calmer.
His opponent, Li Wei, was a somewhat shy-looking boy who politely nodded to Chen Luo.
The part-time referee was a junior wearing a dark brown jacket and black-rimmed glasses.
He pushed up his glasses and announced clearly: “The match rules are one-on-one. The match ends when one Pokémon loses its ability to battle. Both sides, prepare!”
“Go, Rattata!” Li Wei was the first to throw his Poké Ball.
“Rattata!”
A purple mouse, much larger than an ordinary mouse, with sharp incisors and wary eyes, appeared on the field.
【Pokémon: Rattata】
【Level: Lv.14】
【Gender: Male】
【Type: Normal】
【Ability: Guts (Attack increases when afflicted by a status condition)】
【Aptitude Assessment: Normal (Limited potential)】
【Basic Skills: Tackle, Tail Whip, Quick Attack, Focus Energy】
【Held Item: None】
【Description: Mouse Pokémon. It has strong vitality and extreme reproductive capabilities. Its teeth continuously grow, requiring it to frequently gnaw on hard objects to sharpen them.】
The Data Eye immediately provided feedback.
A Rattata with normal aptitude and a meager skill set.
“Sandile, prepare for battle!” Chen Luo also threw his Poké Ball.
“Sandile!”
Sandile landed nimbly, its eyes behind the black goggles sharply locking onto its opponent.
After the morning’s battle, it seemed to have gained more trust in Chen Luo’s commands, and its aura was stronger.
“Battle start!” The senior referee waved his arm.
“Rattata, Quick Attack!” Li Wei launched the first offensive.
“Rattata!”
Rattata transformed into a swift purple flash, charging straight for Sandile!
“Sand Attack!”
Chen Luo calmly ordered.
When dealing with fast opponents, restricting their vision is a basic tactic.
Sandile reacted extremely quickly, raising its front claws and precisely splashing a large amount of sand onto Rattata’s path of advance!
“Rattata?!”
Rattata was caught off guard, crashing into the sand, its speed drastically reduced, and its eyes too gritty to open.
“Good opportunity! Sand Tomb!” Chen Luo seized the moment of its confusion.
“Roar!” Sandile slammed the ground again, and the familiar quicksand vortex instantly formed beneath Rattata’s feet, trapping it!
“Rattata!” Li Wei grew anxious.
“Break free quickly! Use Focus Energy!”
Trapped in the quicksand, Rattata tried to concentrate, a faint glow appearing around its body, but the tearing force of the quicksand caused it immense pain.
“It’s no use.” Chen Luo’s eyes narrowed. “Sandile, Bite!”
The Dark-type Bite, combined with the boost from the Black Glasses, was incredibly powerful!
“Sandile!”
Sandile pushed off with all four feet, charging with a fierce aura, its maw full of sharp teeth biting down hard on the struggling Rattata in the quicksand!
Dark-type energy condensed in its mouth, emitting a chilling aura.
“Rattata, dodge it!”
Li Wei yelled in despair.
But under the restraint of the quicksand, Rattata had no way to escape!
“Thud!”
A dull thud.
Sandile’s sharp teeth accurately bit into Rattata’s back!
“Rattata—!!!”
Rattata let out a shrill cry, its body lifted off the ground by the powerful impact.
It then heavily crashed onto the edge of the quicksand, its eyes rolled back, and it lost consciousness.
The battle ended cleanly and swiftly.
The senior part-time referee pushed up his glasses, a hint of surprise flashing in his eyes.
This freshman’s battle strategy was unusually clear.
“Rattata is unable to battle, Sandile wins!” the referee announced the result.
Sparse applause erupted from the sidelines, mainly from Wang Peng who was clapping vigorously.
Chen Luo recalled Sandile and nodded to Li Wei: “Thank you for the match.”
Li Wei smiled wryly as he recalled Rattata: “You’re too strong.”
He was thoroughly convinced of his loss.
As he walked off the field, Wang Peng immediately rushed over: “Luo Ge, with this momentum, you have a good chance of getting into the school team!”
“Field Eighteen, Class Three Wang Peng, against Class Seven Meng Chao! Both contestants, please enter the arena as soon as possible!”
Wang Peng grinned when he heard that.
“Hehe, it’s my turn. Watch how my Corphish and I blow them away.”
“Let’s go, I’ll cheer you on.”
Although he and Wang Peng had only known each other for less than two days, the other party genuinely treated him as a good friend.
The original owner, as a young master, indeed had many shortcomings in life, and he owed much to Wang Peng's help these past two days.
Wang Peng's opponent was a Sandshrew.
The opponent was quite interesting, knowing that due to type advantage, it couldn't beat Corphish.
It kept using the Ground-type ultimate move Fissure, hoping for a one-hit KO on Corphish.
However, until the end of the match, Sandshrew never successfully used it once.
The match ended quickly, with Corphish's Crabhammer directly knocking Sandshrew out of commission.
