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

So, under the relentless bombardment of "mud bombs", Bosscodora collapsed to the ground!

…………

Boom——

With a loud bang, the colossal steel behemoth, over two meters tall and weighing nearly half a ton, left a large crater on the ice.

The body of this steel behemoth is surrounded by countless ice fissures and cracks, seemingly telling the story of its hardships and struggles.

After the sound of Boscodor collapsing to the ground, the entire arena fell silent.

Kill instantly with one hit!

An elite-level Aggron was defeated by a veteran-level Sylveon with just one move!

But that wasn't the main reason why the audience was speechless with shock. What stunned them was that Sylveon really used the power of the earth!

Curiosity and a thirst for knowledge eventually aroused the audience on the sidelines, and soon a noisy discussion filled the stands.

"What's going on? Sylveon can use Earth Power?"

"I don't know. I only know that other Eevee members in the Eevee family don't know how to do it. Maybe Sylveon is a special case?"

"I'm a Pokémon breeding major. As far as I know, no, our school just evolved a Sylveon two months ago. It's the third one in the world. In the past two months, we've pretty much figured out Sylveon's move pool. It doesn't have the move Earth Power. The same goes for Sylveons bred in other regions."

"But how do you explain what just happened?"

"That's because Xia Chen's Sylveon is quite special, and he also has a criminal record. A Milotic that can use Butterfly Dance, there's only one like it in the world, right?"

"He's invincible! Ground-type is perfect against and counters Fairy-type Steel, Poison, and Fire. His Sylveon has absolutely no weaknesses!"

…………

In fact, not to mention his opponents and the audience, Xia Chen was also a little confused at this moment.

How come I didn't know that Xianbu also possessed the power of the earth?

If I had known she could do it, would I still be afraid of this clumsy Bossdot?

However, the surprises the elves brought him were not uncommon, and Xia Chen, who was already used to such things, quickly accepted this event that was somewhat beyond his comprehension.

Even more outrageous than Milotic's butterfly dance?

In short, let's finish this unfinished battle first.

The opponent only has one severely weakened Excadrill left. Unless it suddenly unleashes a powerful attack, winning this battle is almost impossible.

Over there, Yang Zengyan seemed to understand this as well, sighed helplessly, and recalled the Bosscodora that was lying on the ground.

But instead of conceding defeat, he sent out Dragon Head Mole.

Even if you lose, you should lose with some dignity. If a junior is beating a freshman, you've got no shame!

However, no matter how dignified Yang Zengyan wanted to be, the match had already entered garbage time.

With Sylvanas unleashing her unexpected Earth Power, the game was effectively over.

And that was indeed the case; Excadrill, whose condition was similar to that of Sylveon, was unable to change the situation.

Although the ice surface nearly collapsed during the intense battle that lasted for more than ten minutes, it still managed to limit the breakthrough originating from underground to some extent.

With the underground passage destroyed, the Dragon Head Mole's strength will be greatly reduced.

Furthermore, Excadrill has almost no ranged moves that can threaten Sylveon, so there's only one word waiting for it.

send!

With a double-strength Earth Power attack hitting its target, Yang Zengyan's last Pokémon also fell.

Xia Chen's "advancement match" ended with Xia Chen defeating his opponent 3-0.

On the large screen above the battlefield, Xia Chen's ranking on the ladder rose from 51 to 45, successfully climbing into the top 50!

…………

This victory meant more to Xia Chen than just being able to participate in the school team's positional playoffs.

With that kind of ability, even if they lose this match, getting into the top 50 will only take two or three days.

More importantly, this was Xia Chen's first time defeating an opponent ranked in the top 30, and a Steel-type specialist trainer who was relatively restrained.

Despite numerous unexpected events during the match, Xia Chen still managed to defeat his opponent fairly and squarely, relying on his own strength.

Hmm. Sylveon's strength is also that of a trainer!

Although the result of this match was a seemingly overwhelming 3-0 victory, the process was quite difficult.

Milotic and Sylvanas are both in a very vulnerable state, almost collapsing at the slightest touch. If they fall, their opponents could easily turn the tide and win.

Therefore, we must remain extremely vigilant when facing opponents ranked in the top 30.

The opponent has a margin for error, but we don't. If any decision is wrong, it could snowball and lead to total defeat.

The reshuffling competition will begin in five days. It's unrealistic to talk about growth in such a short time, but Xia Chen still wants to improve, even if it's just a little bit.

At this delicate juncture, if Xia Chen were to lose the reshuffle match by just a hair's breadth, it wouldn't be a big deal, but he would still have some regrets.

So, after five consecutive days of relentless and arduous training, the school team rotation competition in September is about to begin.

------

September 30th, sunny.

The stadium at Kyoto University was already bustling with activity early in the morning.

Since the school's ranking system was launched, the last day of every month has been exceptionally lively here.

On this day, all competitions will be suspended to make way for the monthly school team rotation matches.

This competition represents a clash between the best students at Beijing University, so naturally, it attracts a lot of attention.

Because this reshuffling competition is held quite frequently, once a month, the competition format was not designed to be too complicated.

The day before the start of the ranking competition, anyone ranked in the top 50 on the ladder can participate.

Of these fifty people, there are certainly some who were already on the school team, or rather, most of them were.

Among the remaining people, they can choose their opponents according to their ranking and challenge them. Defeating their opponents will allow them to switch positions.

Simply put, if the top 30 are all members of the school team, and those ranked 31-50 are all challengers, then starting from the 31st, he can choose his opponent first.

You can choose someone ranked 30th, someone whose attributes are countered by yours, or someone you don't like.

It doesn't matter; this is a reward for the diligent and a punishment for the lazy in the school team.

After all, if you have a good reputation and are strong enough, no one will dare to challenge you.

The rest follow the same pattern.

Of course, the actual situation will certainly not be so straightforward. There may be challengers who achieve higher rankings, or there may be members of the school team who are not training outside. The school has provided corresponding solutions for these situations.

For example, if a member of the school team is not at school, they can apply not to participate in this substitution match, up to three times, which is very humane.

There are many trivial supplementary clauses, but there is only one main rule.

The challenge is to succeed and join the school team, or try again next month.

It's cruel, but it can also ignite the competitive spirit and desire to win in students.

We're all the same age, so who can be worse than whom?

In short, amidst the crowd of students and citizens who came to join in the fun, the Beijing University reshuffle competition officially began at nine o'clock in the morning.

Chapter 199 Who Isn't a Master of Reverse Attributes? (3.4k)

Kamikyo University Stadium.

Xia Chen sat in the waiting area, waiting for the first match to begin, while holding Xianbu and browsing the forum with her to look up information about the opponents they might face that day.

He had been training and playing ranked matches seriously for the past few days and didn't have much free time to do this.

His match wasn't going to start for a while, so he quickly started cramming at the last minute.

As the saying goes, team composition determines life or death. While this may be an exaggeration, it does highlight the importance of elemental advantage.

In a competition where the challenger has an advantage, it would be a real shame not to take advantage of it.

Xia Chen's most desired opponent is naturally the Fairy-type prodigy, the Dragon-type specialist.

In such a crucial match, Xia Chen naturally wouldn't be pretentious about challenging himself or specifically targeting strong opponents.

That can wait until later. His primary goal right now is to get into the school team before heading to the Sinnoh region.

When it comes to picking the softest persimmons, those "Dragon Messengers" were the softest persimmons for Xia Chen.

Even against a Dragon-type specialist trainer two levels above him, Xia Chen was confident he could defeat them.

Unfortunately, there are fewer and fewer Dragon-type specialist trainers these days.

Firstly, compared to other types of Pokémon, Dragon-type Pokémon are rarer and generally grow slower, so people who choose to specialize in Dragon-type Pokémon usually come from well-off families.

In an environment with a large base, the quantity will naturally be small.

Secondly, it was due to the sudden emergence of the fairy attribute.

Although the Fairy type has only been around for two years, the trend of this powerful attribute becoming popular is becoming more and more obvious.

As a result, the Dragon type, which is severely countered by it, has gradually lost its luster. The current mainstream view is that specializing in Dragon types is becoming less and less cost-effective, and it's enough to have only one or two in your team.

It seems that Teacher Adu is several years ahead of the curve!

…………

In short, due to the changing trends, college students who are at the forefront of fashion are naturally the first to make changes.

Of the thirty-member roster for the school team, there were only two Dragon-type specialist trainers and one big shot ranked third. Xia Chen certainly wouldn't be foolish enough to challenge him.

There's another player ranked lower, somewhere in between, at number eighteen. He's within Xia Chen's current shooting range, but unfortunately, he's away on training.

However, Fairy-type isn't the only type that's easy to beat; if Dragon-type is the eldest son, then Fighting-type and Dark-type are the two younger sons.

These two attributes are not uncommon, especially for the Fighting type.

After thoroughly reviewing the information of all the school team members, He Xianbu and his partner selected the five most suitable opponents.
