Chapter 465: Instructor Lu

The words of that girl, who was shouting that Ning Ling could easily take the High School Cup championship, stirred up echoes from many of the onlookers, including high school seniors visiting the campus and some university students.

Some said that winning the championship was just the first step, and that in the future, she would undoubtedly become a Dojo-level or even Heavenly King-level trainer.

Others said that in the future, she would lead Qingbei University to defend the High School League crown and remain the champion consecutively.

The countless praises that followed one after another caused a blush to stain the face of Ning Ling, who, aside from giving battle commands, hadn't said much at all.

Su Hao, who was inexplicably lying in the line of fire as a target in the distance, didn't have any extra emotions.

Once a trainer gains even a little bit of fame, there will inevitably be debates and discussions on the internet about how such-and-such trainer crushed such-and-such trainer, or how such-and-such trainer perfectly counters such-and-such trainer.

It is the same in reality; everything is decided by one's own hands.

Moreover, excessive praise is not a good thing; it is very easy to "kill someone with kindness" by puffing them up.

The crew-cut senior explained: "She has already obtained the guaranteed admission qualification for Qingbei University in advance, and she can come here to study after graduating from high school... However, junior, you..."

Setting these things aside, Su Hao was now facing the crew-cut senior, who was looking him up and down as if he had just had a sudden epiphany.

"... Senior, what are you staring at?"

A mysterious saxophone background music suddenly seemed to ring out in the air, and the crew-cut senior, with the look of someone who had seen through the truth, said: "I was just wondering why you looked a bit familiar when I first saw you, junior; I only remembered after hearing that girl mention your name!"

"You, Junior Su Hao! You are also a favorite to win the High School Cup who cultivated a Professional-level Pokémon in just half a year of high school, yet you quietly snuck over to visit Qingbei University... Tsk tsk."

The crew-cut senior smacked his lips while speaking, as if feeling proud of his keen observation and memory.

Su Hao was stunned for a moment, not expecting that even a senior at Qingbei University would recognize him.

"Junior Su Hao, come to think of it, since they are being so arrogant, why not go and slap their faces?"

"Although your ace's Fire-type moves would have ninety percent of their power nullified by Flash Fire, you still have Dark-type moves that counter Ghost-types; it's hard to say who will win and who will lose."

The crew-cut senior's face was full of instigation, as if he really wanted Su Hao to have a match with Ning Ling.

Su Hao shook his head.

"No need, this is just one side of her friend's story; let's wait for the High School Cup for a real battle."

If he really rushed over to slap their faces, he was afraid things would become complicated and very troublesome.

"Alright then, shall I, your senior, take you around the campus some more?"

"Okay, sorry to trouble you, Senior."

Su Hao and the crew-cut senior quietly exited the battle pavilion just as they had entered, with no one the wiser.

Half a month later, Yang City.

In this half-month, Su Hao had been invited to visit many universities, and generally, the conditions offered to him were extremely generous.

Even with Ning Ling, who also possessed a Professional-level Pokémon due to a fortuitous encounter, the conditions offered by the major universities did not diminish.

Waiving tuition fees and gifting resources were just the basic conditions.

Guaranteed job placement upon graduation, providing the right to choose Pokémon ranging from pseudo-legendaries down to rare ones, enjoying the treatment of a squad member immediately upon enrollment, the teaching staff pouring out all their knowledge to teach him, and so on and so forth...

There were even schools that took a different approach, stating they would handle matchmaking.

They proposed that as long as Su Hao chose their school, they would hold a grand mixer filled with handsome men and beautiful women until Su Hao found a partner.

But these things were dispensable to Su Hao for the time being.

Furthermore, the accommodation conditions at these schools were, at best, double rooms like those at Qingbei University or Magic City University, and at worst, four-person rooms.

Although Su Hao could buy a house off-campus, going back and forth was too troublesome.

Better to wait until the High School Cup is over, then go take a look at Jiang City University.

The detached villa Zhao Yunlan mentioned was really attractive...

After the visits ended, he also took the time to make a trip to Magic City to meet with Eevee and Su Qing before heading home.

Now, in the courtyard of Su Hao's house, Diancie was sunbathing, having gained some insight into light after defeating the Void Shadow.

Beside her, Milotic and Incineroar were sparring.

Every physical attack from Incineroar could be described as flashing with lightning and heavy with power, with extremely high output.

Even as defensive as Milotic was, she was often in precarious situations, needing to exert all her energy to heal her injuries.

When at the Elite level, the big cat had difficulty dealing with Milotic; its attacks were like scraping sand, making it hard to cause effective damage to secure a victory.

Now that Incineroar had reached the Professional level, the status had reversed; the late-stage Elite-level Milotic was afraid she wouldn't be able to beat him before breaking through to the Professional level.

Besides that, Dragapult and Dreepy were flying at extremely high speeds at low altitude, occasionally turning their bodies intangible to dodge attacks coming from behind.

Today was the third day that Riolu had officially started training.

Three days ago, Riolu, having completely shaken off its infancy, directly volunteered to participate in training, seemingly very much looking forward to becoming stronger.

Unlike its performance in daily life, where it was extremely cautious and tested things countless times.

In training, Riolu still implemented the principle of caution and observed carefully, but when it was truly time to strike, Riolu would not delay the opportunity due to caution; it was very decisive.

Su Hao's Riolu, male, had the famous ability 【Prankster】.

That's right, it was the once-popular "Instructor Lu."

Relying on the Prankster trait, which gives status moves +1 priority, to use the move Instruct, Instructor Lu had appeared in many double battles.

This ability would change to 【Justified】 after evolving into Lucario, with the effect of increasing its own Attack by +1 after being hit by a Dark-type move, which gave birth to the 【Beat Up Team】.

The manifestations of these two abilities in reality were slightly different.

These were Riolu's current stats.
