Chapter 64

"Contestant 408 and Contestant 215, please proceed to the arena and prepare."

Hearing his own number, Su Yu waved goodbye to the two of them and headed off to compete.

"Your boyfriend is indeed very handsome; I thought you were making it up?"

Seeing Su Yu leave, Han Mei said to Yan Ruyue.

"Of course," Yan Ruyue replied with perfect justification, "I am confident he will win the championship in this competition."

Hearing Yan Ruyue's words, Han Mei looked skeptical, "Although Su Yu is indeed very strong, Tianyun University also has disciples from many great families who are no worse than him."

"I believe he can make it into the top 32, but I don't believe he can win the championship."

Yan Ruyue snorted lightly twice, "Then we shall wait and see."

The arena used for this competition was the most ordinary plain-type battlefield.

It was covered entirely in rocks, with no other vegetation.

Upon arriving here, the previous match had not yet concluded.

After Su Yu waited for two minutes, a victor was decided on the stage.

When Su Yu stepped onto the stage, Ren Yun and the other two in the spectator stands cheered him on.

"Go Su Yu! You are the best!"

"Su and Su Yu, dominating the universe!"

"Who stands empty at the end of the spirit realm? One glimpse of Su Yu and the Dao turns to void!"

The three clowns on stage shouted their chuunibyou slogans.

This caused everyone else to turn their heads and look.

Su Yu covered his face, wishing he could just silence them right then and there.

Wasn't this just inviting hatred upon himself?

"Are those Su Yu's roommates? They seem quite interesting," Han Mei said with a smile.

Su Yu walked onto the competition field and got ready.

"Contestant 408, Su Yu, and Contestant 215, Rong Sheng, are ready. The match begins!"

As soon as the referee's voice fell, both sides sent out their spirits.

Treecko!

Poochyena!

Seeing the Treecko, Rong Sheng on the opposite side chose to strike first.

"Poochyena, use Bite!"

[Bite: Attack the opponent by biting with sharp teeth. Sometimes causes the opponent to flinch.]

The Poochyena's teeth flashed with a cold gleam as it pounced toward the Treecko.

"Treecko, use Quick Attack to circle behind it, then use Bullet Seed!"

The Treecko leaped 3.1 meters from its spot, one big jump landing it behind the Poochyena.

Having lost its target, the Poochyena stood there somewhat dazed.

After landing, the Treecko immediately opened its mouth and spat out seed after seed.

These seeds struck the Poochyena's body just like a machine gun.

"Whimper!" The Poochyena let out a cry of pain.

Rong Sheng also looked at his Poochyena with a face full of worry.

"Use Giga Drain to finish it!"

[Giga Drain: Attack by draining the opponent's nutrients. Restores HP equal to half the damage dealt.]

After releasing the Bullet Seed, the Treecko drew out specks of green light from within the Poochyena's body.

The light, resembling fluorescence, flew into the Treecko's body.

Having suffered two consecutive moves, the opposing Poochyena let out a wail and lost the ability to battle.

After all, being only level ten, it was still very weak.

[Treecko defeated Poochyena, gaining 150 experience points!]

"Poochyena has lost its fighting ability. Rong Sheng, please send out your second spirit."

Rong Sheng gritted his teeth; the Poochyena was considered his main spirit.

Nevertheless, he sent out his second spirit, Pidgey.

This Pidgey was only level eight, obviously still quite weak.

"Quick Attack to close in, then use Pound!"

Before the Pidgey could react, the Treecko had already closed the distance.

Then, before the Pidgey could even take flight, a heavy slap knocked it unconscious onto the ground.

[Treecko defeated Pidgey, gaining 100 experience points!]

Subsequently, the third spirit was sent out.

However, Rong Sheng held little hope for this one, as it was a Water-type Barboach.

With its dual Water and Ground attributes, it was quadruply weak to the Treecko's Grass type!

"Treecko, use Bullet Seed!"

"Rat-a-tat-tat." After the Bullet Seed, the Barboach collapsed directly to the ground, unable to rise.

[Treecko has sufficient experience points and has leveled up to 17!]

[Treecko has reached the required level and has evolved into Grovyle.]

072: The Competition Begins!! A Streak of Victories! Is He Sheng a Nouveau Riche!?

Treecko, which had already gained considerable experience in the secret realm, successfully evolved after this match!

White light enveloped Treecko, and its body began to expand and grow larger.

Moments later, a Pokémon appeared before everyone, featuring three dark leaves on its wrists and a single long leaf atop its head.

[Grovyle has learned the move: Detect.]

[Grovyle has learned the move: X-Scissor.]

[X-Scissor: Crosses scythe-like claws or pincers like scissors to slash the opponent.]

[Grovyle has learned the move: Energy Ball.]

[Energy Ball: Fires a ball of life energy gathered from nature. It may sometimes lower the opponent's Special Defense.]

[Grovyle has learned the move: Brick Break.]

Su Yu smiled. "Hello, Grovyle!"

"Gro!"

Grovyle responded happily as well.

"Your Treecko is very strong," said Rong Sheng on the opposite side, casting an envious glance at Su Yu before walking off the arena.

Upon returning to their seats, Ren Yun and the other two immediately surrounded Su Yu.

"Wow, Su Yu, your Treecko is truly amazing; it actually took on three opponents alone!"

"That's right, the audience was quite astonished just now."

"Su Yu's Treecko has even evolved into Grovyle; it will be even harder to deal with now."

Next, the three roommates went up to battle one after another.

Yu Xing and Xu Xu Junmin both secured their victories with ease.

Ren Yun's fight was more difficult, but he still emerged victorious.

Less than ten minutes later, the broadcast sounded again.

"Contestant number 408 and contestant number 203, please proceed to the competition arena to prepare."

"Contestant Su Yu, number 408, and contestant Li Le, number 203, are ready. The match begins!"

Both sides sent out their Pokémon once more.

Aron!

Li Le sent out a Pokémon resembling a lobster.

Its hands were two massive claws, looking incredibly powerful.
