Chapter 360: Rillaboom from the Plantation

In the Taigu Arena, the cheers, screams, and discussions in the spectator stands almost overturned the dome of the entire venue.

... Actually, in order to facilitate the battle of flying Pokémon, the Taigu Arena was specially built in an open-air style.

Just now, a group of big figures with high power in Sichuan Province announced the start of the competition here.

Above the high platform where one can observe the battle field with the best view, a row of tables and chairs that looked very comfortable were placed in order.

On the table were positions and titles that looked very intimidating, such as the President of the Trainer Association Branch, the President of the Breeder Association Branch, and the seats of the Governor and Mayor were all occupied by a group of big figures in impeccable formal wear.

Except for... the empty seat of the Rising Sun Gym Leader.

In addition, there were a bunch of corporate representatives, powerful trainers, or breeders in Sichuan Province who were talking and laughing.

Several ultra-clear cameras had just finished their work of projecting onto the huge screens on the front and back sides of the arena.

"Old Zhao, who do you favor this time?"

The middle-aged man speaking was wearing rimless glasses, and his somewhat sparse hair and the water with wolfberry he was soaking in his hand told the story that this person seemed to be experiencing a crisis.

On his table was the nameplate: "Rongcheng Trainer Association Branch President—Luo Xiande."

Zhao Zhigao glanced at the empty seat next to him and smiled: "If I, a civilian governor, were to say, I favored Xiao Bai before, but I'm a bit uncertain after that exhibition match."

"Instead, why would you, a senior trainer, ask me, a civilian, such a question?"

Luo Xiande touched his stubble and smiled bitterly: "I heard that the kid from the Dragon Tamer branch ran back to the main family to cultivate during this time, plus Lin Xingyan who suddenly killed out with an Elite-tier late-stage Charizard, and Gym Leader Su's son, it's really hard to predict!"

"Indeed, it's a pity that Gym Leader Su ran off to retreat and break through, otherwise we could have asked him to tell us the inside story." Zhao Zhigao said with some regret.

After speaking, the spectator stands on both sides of the Taigu Arena, which had just gradually quieted down, erupted again with cheers that could overturn the dome.

"Oh, the first match actually had them two bump into each other?"

Luo Xiande touched his chin, this is getting interesting!

He had also read the posts on the Sichuan section of the Trainer Forum, and he had to say that the OP's intelligence gathering was good.

Two strong contenders for the top four met in the first round of the group stage. This is a scene that is hard to see~

"Brother Su, are you really going to wear this up there?"

Li Hua looked at Su Hao eagerly, very puzzled.

Su Hao straightened the brim of his hat and asked in confusion: "Except for the color being a bit bright, there's nothing wrong with these clothes, right?"

Su Hao was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt, a red and white sleeveless jacket over it, and blue jeans on his lower body.

He was wearing black fingerless gloves on his hands, black and red sports shoes on his feet, and a red and white baseball cap with a white semi-circular pattern shaped like a Poké Ball on his head.

"The point of the matter is not whether there is anything wrong, but you wearing this set of clothes... aren't you hot?" Jiang Chengcheng couldn't help it either, opening her mouth to complain.

Kong Lingwei added: "It's scorching hot outside now, it's probably thirty or forty degrees..."

"I think it's okay. I specially chose materials for the jacket that are warm in winter and cool in summer!" Su Hao gave a thumbs up with his right hand and grinned.

"Are you done?"

Zhong Li clapped her hands, making a short sound to attract the attention of the four to her side.

Although Su Hao's strength was probably in the first echelon of the Sichuan Province competition zone, as the team leader, she also had to fulfill her duties.

Just like a coach in an MOBA e-sports competition, responsible for tactical arrangements, hero selection, BP, and opponent intelligence analysis.

However, she understood that Su Hao only needed her to provide opponent intelligence.

Zhong Li took a light sip of the hot water in her thermos, cleared her throat and said: "Su Hao, there are still quite a few opponents in Group A you were assigned to that are worth being vigilant about, but now I will only talk about your first match opponent—He Shiyun."

Shiyun."

After Zhong Li looked at the information several more times to confirm it was correct, she said: "She is from Beichong City. It is worth mentioning that her family runs the largest plantation in Beichong City, where there are a large number of Grass-type Pokémon taking care of the plantation."

"Jumpluff, Whimsicott, and Rillaboom, this is her current team lineup. Each one is a Grass-type Pokémon, among which Rillaboom is her ace. As of recently, its strength is probably in the Elite-tier mid-stage, and the other two are Elite-tier early-stage."

"Both her Whimsicott and Jumpluff will use the Sunny Day move, and with the Chlorophyll ability, they are very difficult to deal with. However, these are lineups that will only appear in 2v2 or 3v3. I am more inclined to believe that she will play it safe and send out her ace Rillaboom in the first battle."

"Her Rillaboom's ability will be Grassy Surge that deploys Grassy Terrain, if nothing goes wrong. This Rillaboom is good at melee combat, especially its palms are tempered, so be careful of its power attacks."

Speaking of this, she smiled and scanned the three people, Li Hua, Jiang Chengcheng, and Kong Lingwei, who were a bit dumbfounded.

Then she said to Su Hao: "It just so happens that your Incineroar is Fire+Dark type. Although Fairy-type moves restrain Dark type, they are resisted by Fire type. So your Incineroar is full of advantages whether it is against Whimsicott, Jumpluff, or Rillaboom."

After speaking, she concluded in a soft voice: "So, sending your ace Incineroar for the first match is the safest decision."

"Of course, the choice of who to send is in your hands. You are the trainer who is going to battle, and the teacher's words are just suggestions."

"Clap clap clap clap!"

"Wow, Teacher Zhong, you investigated too thoroughly!"

"The other party's underwear is about to be stripped off by you!"

Li Hua took the lead in applauding, and the other three didn't expect Zhong Li to have this ability to collect information!

Zhong Li smiled and pressed her palm down to signal for quiet. She asked Su Hao: "What is your answer?"

Su Hao touched the brim of his hat, pretended to think, and then said: "I plan to use another Pokémon, and keep Incineroar as an ace to hide it for now."

Su Hao thought with some bad taste that for this kind of competition with low intensity, it was more interesting to flip the cards one by one.

If he were to flip over, he would just flip the table and use Aura + Viridian Force. Anyway, this competition didn't forbid special abilities.

Zhong Li thought it was indeed so, and encouraged: "Since you are sure, the teacher will not stop you."

In the P-site High School Cup Sichuan Province competition zone live broadcast room, the scrolling bullet comments even completely covered the screen.

The fifth-ranked live broadcast room had become like this, making people wonder what kind of grand occasion the top three were.

"Hurry, hurry, hurry, why aren't the contestants on the field yet!?"

"The groups are already divided, it should be soon."

"However, I didn't expect two people on the review list to bump into each other in the first round. Now I have to taste it myself!"

"If you can look forward to this battle of the strong that started early just like me, then I think this thing is too cool!"

In the red ocean of bullet comments, a row of neat blue bullet comments floated by silently.

"6"

"Eh, are the friends from Shuizhou City still there?"

"Don't talk, contestant He Shiyun and contestant Su Hao have released their Pokémon!"

"I am a student from Beichong City, He Shiyun's Rillaboom is very strong!"

"So what? Our Yangcheng Su Hao's ace is the Fire-type Incineroar!"

"It seems to be a duel of strength and strength... Why didn't Su Hao send out Incineroar!?"

"Damn, shiny pseudo-legendary!"

"Turtle, worthy of being the second generation of the doctor and gym leader, how many meters is this?"

"Pure passerby, evaluating from a neutral standpoint, contestant Su Hao is afraid he is going to flip over."

"Indeed, although his Drakloak is a rare shiny pseudo-legendary, it is risky to face this Elite-tier late-stage third-stage form Rillaboom with the Elite-tier early-stage strength of the second-stage form."

"Arrogant."

"The strong contender for first place is afraid he is going to flip over!"
