Chapter 154

Since his student wished to participate, he, as the principal, naturally had to offer his full support.

Seeing the three-headed vicious dragon, Gao Mao nodded in approval.

"Very well. Since you are confident, I will register you for the competition. I hope you do not disappoint me when the time comes!"

And so, Su Yu successfully registered for the University Student Pokémon League.

After finalizing the arrangements, Su Yu left the principal's office directly.

Now, only one month remained before the competition began.

Su Yu prepared to continue special training for his Pokémon.

Among them, the primary focus was training Gardevoir!

Thus, Su Yu went to the Hongyang Secret Realm, not far from the school, having her battle wild Pokémon continuously.

Although the Pokémon levels within the Hongyang Secret Realm were somewhat low,

Gardevoir could defeat many Pokémon at once, so Su Yu led her on a rampage, crushing numerous Pokémon groups!

【Gardevoir defeated Krabby, gaining 800 experience points!】

【Gardevoir defeated Beedrill, gaining 1000 experience points!】

【Gardevoir defeated Raticate, gaining 700 experience points!】

He kept taking Gardevoir around to level up.

As the competition approached, Su Yu conducted final training sessions with his Gardevoir.

118: The Competition Begins, the Nation Erupts!

This time, his target was a group of Arbok within the Hongyang Secret Realm!

Since Arbok's entire body is poisonous, anyone accidentally struck by its attacks would fall into a poisoned state.

Therefore, they were considered a dominant force within the Hongyang Secret Realm.

Many trainers dared not provoke them excessively.

They feared that one careless mistake could lead to total disaster!

Riding his Luxray, Su Yu brought Gardevoir into a forest.

The trees here were lush and dense; from the outside, the scenery appeared beautiful.

However, among these trees, countless giant purple snakes slithered back and forth.

They possessed triangular eyes and distended bellies, resembling terrifying giant faces.

Occasionally, they flicked out their long, thin tongues, looking extremely eerie.

If a coward saw an Arbok's appearance, they would likely be scared away immediately.

"Gardevoir, use Psychic to drag those Ekans out!" Su Yu said, throwing out a Poké Ball.

Su Yu threw out the Poké Ball and spoke.

Gardevoir nodded.

"Gar!"

Gardevoir closed her eyes and first used Calm Mind.

Calm Mind could boost Gardevoir's Special Attack and Special Defense.

After using Calm Mind, her body shimmered with dazzling purple light.

Instantly, countless Pokémon throughout the entire forest felt as though dragged by some mysterious force.

Numerous Arbok with blackish-purple bodies were lifted from the forest by this power.

They looked around in panic, unsure of what was happening.

After lifting them into the air, this force gathered them together.

Then, the power vanished, and countless Ekans fell from the sky one after another.

Once they shook their heads and regained consciousness,

all the Arbok realized an enemy had arrived!

It was that white Pokémon not far from them!

"Hiss!!"

The Arbok all flicked their tongues, their gazes fixed on Gardevoir filled with malice.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!"

One Ekans used Poison Sting against Gardevoir, who floated in the air.

Where there was one, there were more; other Ekans followed suit, spitting venom at Gardevoir one after another.

"Gar!"

Gardevoir's eyes glowed with purple light.

The venom and poison needles flying toward her halted instantly, suspending in mid-air.

Using Psychic, Gardevoir manipulated these attacks and hurled them back at the Arbok.

"Whoosh whoosh whoosh!!" "Thwack!!"

The venom and poison needles reversed direction, smashing entirely onto the Arbok.

Although the Arbok possessed poison resistance, being hit by their own moves still caused them considerable pain.

Some of the Arbok, upon being struck, immediately dug into the ground.

In the blink of an eye, as the Arbok burst from their holes, they all opened their mouths wide, biting toward Gardevoir in the air.

"Gardevoir, use Psychic!"

"Hum!"

The purple light on Gardevoir intensified, and for a moment, an energy field resembling a violet aura appeared around her.

Immediately, this energy expanded explosively around her, striking out in all directions at the surrounding Pokémon.

【Psychic: Launches a powerful telekinetic attack against the opponent.】

Countless Arboks, having charged only halfway, were struck directly by this psychic assault!

They felt as though a heavy hammer had smashed into their brains, sending waves of searing pain through them.

Consequently, many Arboks lost consciousness instantly under such an attack.

【Gardevoir defeated Arbok, gaining 1100 experience points!】

【Gardevoir defeated Arbok, gaining 1200 experience points!】

……

【Gardevoir defeated Ekans, gaining 900 experience points!】

After being attacked by Gardevoir, many Arboks fought back fiercely!

The concept of defeat simply did not exist in their vocabulary!

Acid Spray, Sludge Bomb, Gastro Acid, Gunk Shot.

Countless attacks were once again unleashed by the Arboks, targeting Gardevoir.

"Gardevoir, use Teleport to dodge, then follow up with Dazzling Gleam!"

Just as those moves were about to make contact, Gardevoir vanished from her original spot into thin air.

The Arboks looked frantically in all directions, trying to locate Gardevoir's whereabouts.

When Gardevoir reappeared, she had already moved ten meters away.

Her entire body radiated a dazzling light of astonishing brilliance.

【Dazzling Gleam: Emits a powerful flash of light at the opponent, inflicting damage.】

The Arboks that had been staring directly at Gardevoir felt a stinging pain in their eyes.

Just as the Arboks closed their eyes, preparing to block the intense light.

The beam of light struck them directly.

For a moment, none of the numerous Arboks had established any defense.

Instead, they took the hit squarely.

【Gardevoir defeated Arbok, gaining 1100 experience points!】

……

【Gardevoir defeated Arbok, gaining 1400 experience points!】

The Arboks suffered casualties once again.

"Gardevoir, press the advantage! Use Psychic!"

Gardevoir's purple light flared intensely as psychic energy condensed into wave after wave of ripples.

"Hum!"

The energy waves immediately spread outward in all directions, striking the minds of countless Ekans.

This powerful area-of-effect attack knocked out even more Arboks.

Now, the only one still standing on the ground was the leader of the Arboks!

After sustaining consecutive psychic attacks, it was faring poorly.

Nevertheless, it relied on its sheer willpower to hold on.

Seeing its entire kin fallen, the Arbok leader stared furiously at Gardevoir, its gaze unyielding.

It opened its mouth, and flames instantly ignited upon its teeth.

The Ekans, wreathed in Fire Fang, charged toward Gardevoir.

It was desperate to avenge its kin!

"Lift it up with Telekinesis! Then use Zen Headbutt!"

The Arbok, which had been coiling and advancing along the ground, realized halfway through its run that its body was once again beyond its control.

It twisted its body, trying to break free from this strange force.

But all its efforts were futile.

Gardevoir's psychic power gripped it tightly, so no matter how much it struggled, escape was impossible.

The Arbok leader was hoisted into mid-air by Gardevoir's Telekinesis.

Before it, a massive purple hammer slowly materialized above Gardevoir's head.

This great hammer was formed from Gardevoir's condensed psychic energy.

Under the Arbok leader's gaze, the purple hammer slammed violently into its body.

"Bang!"

The Arbok leader was knocked straight down from the sky, crashing instantly onto the ground.

Thus, every single Arbok had been defeated by Gardevoir.

【Gardevoir defeated the Arbok, gaining 2000 experience points!】

【Gardevoir has sufficient experience and has leveled up to Lv41!】

【Gardevoir has learned a new move: Future Sight!】

Seeing the notification, Su Yu was also extremely pleased.

Now, Gardevoir had finally learned the ultimate Psychic-type move: Future Sight.

Although named Future Sight, its ability was not quite as the name suggested.

In the game, the effect of Future Sight is: two turns after using the move, send a bundle of psychic energy to attack the opponent.

However, reality differed from the game; here, Future Sight launched a bundle of psychic energy at the opponent five minutes later.

This psychic attack dealt extremely high damage, nearly comparable to the power of Hyper Beam.

Therefore, its activation conditions were quite stringent.

With the move Future Sight, Gardevoir could simply teleport away to kite its opponent immediately after releasing the attack.

The opponent would be unable to make contact yet still suffer damage.

It could be described as an utterly shameless tactic.

Thinking of this, Su Yu satisfactorily recalled Gardevoir.

Although Gardevoir had not yet reached Elite-level strength, its Level 45 power already placed it among the top tier.

Coupled with Gardevoir's strong aptitude, its psychic power was far superior to that of average Psychic-type Pokémon.

Gardevoir possessed the capability to fight against some Elite-level Pokémon.

Tomorrow marked the beginning of the National University Pokémon League.

Su Yu decided to first give himself and his Pokémon a short break to let them rest.

After such prolonged training, it was time to allow them a period of relaxation.

Upon returning to the dormitory, Yu Xing and the other two looked at Su Yu and said,

"Su Yu, are you participating in the National University Pokémon League tomorrow?"

Su Yu nodded. "That's right, and my first match will take place right here at our Tianxing Gymnasium."

Yu Xing spoke up, "We've already told our classmates; we'll all go together to cheer for you as your support squad!"

Upon learning that Su Yu intended to participate in this competition, they had immediately discussed going to cheer him on.

With their own strength, they naturally could not compete in such a tournament, but cheering for Su Yu posed no problem.

Thus, Yu Xing and the others had informed their classmates about Su Yu's participation, and many students expressed their intention to go and cheer for him.

Seeing this, Su Yu did not refuse; since they wanted to go, then let them go.

March 25th—today was the day the National University Pokémon League began!

Early in the morning, countless students from Tianyun University began flocking to Tianxing Gymnasium to watch the matches.

Just as dawn broke, long queues had already formed outside Tianxing Gymnasium.

Many students were waiting for the moment the venue would open.

Not only students were present; dozens of broadcast vans responsible for online live streaming had also arrived outside the gymnasium.

These vehicles were tasked with broadcasting the match conditions to the internet in real-time.

This allowed netizens to watch the entire match smoothly online.

Those battling today in the Tianyun University Gymnasium are all students assigned here.

In other words, today's opponents here come from every corner of the land, representing all sorts of schools!

When Su Yu arrived at the competitor entrance of the gymnasium, a long queue had already formed there as well.

Still, this was considered manageable.

Only after Su Yu entered the Tianxing Gymnasium did he understand what true spectacle meant.

At this moment, the entire gymnasium was packed with a dense crowd.

A dark, pressing mass.

The gymnasium was also filled with a clamor of noise.

Many students who had come to watch were discussing excitedly, brimming with delight.

They appeared highly spirited.

After entering the gymnasium, Su Yu headed straight for the competitors' room.

Upon entering the competitors' room, Su Yu found that, unlike the noise outside,

the room inside was comparatively quiet.

There were only the voices of a few people conversing.

For unlike the spectating audience, the students standing here were all participants in the competition!

They all bore immense pressure on their shoulders.

Su Yu casually found a spot to sit down; he did not seek out people from his own school.

Although several of them were from Tianyun University, everyone fought their own battles in this tournament, with virtually no connection between them.

After sitting down, Su Yu closed his eyes to rest his mind.

His youthful appearance startled quite a few competing students.

"¨¨ This person is so young; is he also here to compete? Judging by his uniform, he's a student from Tianyun University."

"He's probably just here to be sacrificed. But I didn't expect Tianyun University to actually send someone to their death; are there really so few capable seniors left?"

"He looks quite familiar; seems he was quite popular online before. His name is Su Yu! Rumor has it he has a Salamence!"

"Hiss... A Salamence, a pseudo-legendary!? No wonder Tianyun University dares to let him compete; so they were hiding a secret weapon."

"Now that you mention it, I remember too. It's said Su Yu challenged a gym and succeeded! His strength is no joke! They call him the strongest freshman!"

"Then we're in for a good show! Are there this many powerhouses this year?!"

Time ticked by minute after minute. Before long, an announcement rang out in the competitors' room.

"Competitor Su Yu from Tianyun University and Competitor Shen Zhuang from Beigong University, please proceed to the arena."

Hearing his name, Su Yu drew a breath, then rose from his seat.
