Pokémon: I picked up a reborn Eevee at the start of the game.

But after two consecutive defeats at Xia Chen's hands, with the gap widening each time, his fighting spirit had been almost completely worn down.

In fact, Yin Li thought that Xia Chen, who was traveling in the Carlos region, should be left behind by him, who was always in the training hall.

"Well, that sleep talking also had an element of luck involved. If it had been Thunderbolt, Kirlia probably wouldn't have been able to use Dream Eater before it was gone."

Xia Chen said modestly.

While that's the general idea, as I said before, probability is also a part of Pokémon battles.

Knowing this well, Yin Li shook his head slightly, showing no regret about the matter.

This only prevented him from being defeated 3-0, but it still couldn't change his fate of losing.

What truly turned the tide of the battle was that surprise attack that should have hit and finished off Kirlia.

However, the unpredictable command and the bizarre hypnosis still leave Yin Li somewhat confused.

He asked with a hint of resentment, "By the way, you clearly shouted '[Kiss of Absorption]' when you were giving the command, but it ended up sounding like a hypnosis spell, how come?"

Xia Chen smiled sheepishly: "Well, it's because my Kirlia doesn't know how to absorb kisses!"

With his exceptional comprehension, Yin Li grasped the meaning immediately. After a quick thought, he understood the implication behind Xia Chen's words.

Since Kirlia doesn't use the Absorb Kiss, then this "Absorb Kiss" must be the code for [Hypnosis]!

Yin Li: "."

You old man!

Wait a minute, why can't I do that?

A bold idea suddenly popped into Yin Li's mind.

My Gengar can also use hypnosis!

At this moment, Yin Li had forgotten what it meant that "those who have been soaked by the rain are always willing to hold an umbrella for those in the rain."

At that moment, he had only one thought in his mind—

Let the world share in the pain we have experienced!

…………

Seeing Yin Li deep in thought, his face clearly saying "If you can't beat them, join them," Xia Chen smiled with satisfaction.

A child can be taught

What's dirty or not?

How awful your words were!

Can tactics be considered dirty?

The second 1 words I owe Fenda, the leader of the alliance!

Although it's slow, the juice will be returned gradually.

By the way, I'd like to recommend this book: *The Pirate King of the Elf World*.

With elements of elves and nautical themes, the game focuses on maritime adventures.

Chapter 192 The Elves' Secret Meeting (Part 2)

Chapter 192 The Elves' Secret Meeting (4.6k combined)

September 5th, sunny.

Although early autumn has arrived, the sweltering heat has not yet subsided.

This is especially true for the trip to Beijing at 2 PM.

stab-

Xia Chen, who had just woken up from her afternoon nap, drew back the curtains in her bedroom and was immediately blinded by the dazzling sunlight outside.

La ci—

That's the sound of Xia Chen drawing the curtains shut again.

Xia Chen muttered to himself as he walked back to the bed, "It's getting dark, time to sleep."

Half-asleep, Xia Chen touched Xianbu, who was also too lazy to move after waking up from her afternoon nap. She curled her lip in disgust, "Summer doesn't want to be close to anything fluffy."

He whimsically remarked, "If only it could evolve into Glaceon right now!"

However, based on the plot of the special manga, this situation will bring Eevee endless pain.

After thinking about it, Xia Chen decided to forget about it.

Wait a minute, why are you making it sound like if you and Senbu are willing, this kind of thing can just happen?

Hearing Xia Chen's incoherent ramblings, Xianbu whipped him on the buttocks with a silk ribbon, "Boo-ee. (Ha, what a fickle man!)"

Xia Chen, who was protested by Xianbu, shifted his body and grabbed Zorua from beside the pillow and stuffed him into his arms.

Although it's not an Ice-type Pokémon, Ghost-type Pokémon naturally exude a cold aura, and Xia Chen is still willing to stick close to this fluffy creature.

"Yo~"

Solomon nuzzled against Xia Chen's chest affectionately, helping Xia Chen absorb the heat from his body.

"It doesn't feel as cool as the Ice Vulpix," Xia Chen complained.

Of course, Xia Chen only muttered these words to himself and didn't dare to say them out loud.

If you actually said it out loud, the little fox would definitely get furious.

…………

The problem of the room being stuffy was still not solved, so Xia Chen turned on his personal smart air conditioner, "Menas, blow another 21-degree cool breeze."

Although the bedroom has air conditioning, Xia Chen prefers the high-temperature, frozen wind that blows from the Minas, which is closer to natural wind.

To leave Milnas with no reason to refuse, he added, "It's part of the training."

Well, strictly speaking, that statement isn't wrong either; it's a test of Milotic's control over ice-type energy.

"Fuwoo".

It was just a matter of opening its mouth; Milotic, curled up on the floor, readily nodded and agreed to the trainer's "training request."

Adjusting the ice-attribute energy within his body, Milotic exhaled a breath of icy wind that was perfectly suited to human comfort and had a long, lingering quality.

In a few moments, the spacious room was filled with a cool breeze that felt almost natural.

Xia Chenshuang rolled around on the bed with Soroya in her arms, "This is so comfortable, I don't want to get up at all!"

Just as Xia Chen was about to take a nap with his eyes closed, Xianbu suddenly poked him with a piece of silk, exclaiming in exasperation, "Bu Yi!"

She pointed out the window with another piece of silk.

Xia Chen pulled the blanket tighter around himself and refused, "Ah, playing ranked matches? We're already in the top 100, let's rest for a couple of days. Anyway, we just need to get into the top 50 by the end of the month."

Over the course of five days, Xia Chen played about five or six games each day.

With a current record of 22-4, ranking 99th, he will become a top 100 goalkeeper.

He achieved a ten-game winning streak in the placement matches, and apart from the later matches where the opponents became stronger, he won all six or seven matches with a single Pokémon.

Of course, Xia Chen used Sylveon, Milotic, and Kirlia.

As for Zoroya and Doromecia, because we were focused on scoring points, we didn't give the two little guys a chance to practice.

…………

Returning to the ladder rankings, although the title of "top 100 gatekeeper" may not seem very impressive, it is actually quite prestigious.

Of the nearly 30,000 students in the school, more than 26,000 participated in this ranking competition.

In this era where everyone is into Pokémon, even if their goal isn't to become a professional trainer, most of them still love Pokémon battles.

To be precise, in this world, Pokémon battles are not just a simple sport. Humans and Pokémon have lived together for so many years, and it has long been given much more meaning, making it something that people are passionate about.

Therefore, being ranked in the top 100 at Peking University, a place that can be called the gathering place of talents in the entire East, is an achievement that many people can never reach in their lifetime.

Moreover, this is not even Xia Chen's limit.

Just five days into the semester, he broke into the top 100 of the rankings, which is jokingly referred to as the "Heavenly Ranking" by university students, with such a high win rate. This is unprecedented in the history of this school.

Well, the ranking system has only been around for five years.

However, this does not affect the influence of Xia Chen's record. The "Shanhaihupan" forum on the intranet of Beijing University is now flooded with posts about Xia Chen, the "newcomer king".

After all, aside from being a freshman at Shanghai University, he is also a highly renowned researcher.

But most people didn't expect that Xia Chen would have such outstanding talent on the path of a trainer.

In fact, Xia Chen had already won the championship in the "Bogaman Cup Zhijiang Station" and the Shanghai University Admissions Competition before this.

However, compared to the world-renowned achievements of Milotic's evolution path and Eevee's Fairy-type evolution form, it seems somewhat lackluster.

As time passed and the impact of those two research findings gradually faded, they discovered that Xia Chen's achievements in Pokémon battles were also superior to all his peers.

…………

"Yesterday I was matched with that so-called 'Rookie King' you guys were talking about, but he's not as good as you guys said! He couldn't even take me down three at once, trash!"

"What's so special about the Pokémon of this prodigy who broke into the top rankings with a win rate of 84.5%?"

"I can only give Xia Chen 99 points for his skills, but for his looks, I'd give him a perfect 50!"

"Looking back at the four people who have defeated Xia Chen in ranked matches so far, it's actually them!"

As he swiped his finger across the screen, the popular posts in the [Mountains, Seas, and Lakes] section flashed by in Xia Chen's eyes, prompting him to chuckle foolishly.

Xia Chen originally intended to sleep a little longer, but on a whim, she opened this seemingly magical app, and then she couldn't get out of it.

The people inside are so nice to talk to, I love being there!

As a hot topic of discussion with unparalleled popularity, Xia Chen has been appearing on forums with unusually high frequency recently.

The vast majority of these posts are positive, praising and flattering.

After all, they are all highly qualified college students, and they understand one thing: belittling others will not bring them any improvement.

Seeing the forum quickly becoming a "Xia Chen praise group," Xia Chen felt exceptionally relaxed and his sleepiness vanished.
