Pokémon Scenario: Intercepting Gible at the Start

How am I supposed to explain this to Cynthia?

No, I need to reach a level where I can survive being killed by Cynthia before the little shark is born!

"Little shark, don't be so smug. Today I have a mission for you: evolve into Mega Garchomp!"

......

A few minutes later, Shang Qiu had entered the combat zone.

The entire battle area was about five kilometers in radius, about the size of a small county town. For a hundred people, this area was not small, and finding others was a skill in itself.

But for Shang Qiu, is it really that difficult to find someone at home?

"Steelclaper, head straight east to find the Great Hound pack. They're the leaders in this area."

"Stop being so impatient, Shark! You're the main battle Pokémon this time, so you have to evolve today!"

"Roar--"

The little shark replied listlessly, continuing to question its existence.

He wants to lie down, he doesn't want to be a dad!

But he's almost certainly going to be a father... that fact is irreversible.

Moreover, in the past five minutes, Shang Qiu had explained to him in detail the responsibilities of a father and the tragedy of families where the woman is stronger than the man.

If he doesn't work hard, in the future, let alone lamb chops and Moutai, he won't even be able to afford chicken legs, let alone give them to his son.

If he doesn't work hard, he'll live his whole life in the shadow of his wife, spending his days taking care of his wife and children.

Thinking this, the little shark's eyes became even more resolute, and it clenched its little fist tightly.

"Don't worry, Master. I'll go ahead and wipe out the Great Wolfhound clan."

"Wait five minutes until you see me, I am Garchomp!"

After saying that, the little shark ignored Shang Qiu and Corviknight's astonished looks and leaped off Corviknight's back.

The next moment, a voice pierced the sky.

"I'll copy this, Master, save me! I can't fly yet!"

Chapter 495 The Upheaval in the Sword-Wielding Family, The Strange Chen Yi

Within the combat zone.

More than a dozen students who participated in the competition gathered together immediately; they were from the junior and senior year teams.

Apart from Ma Yan and Nie Xiaowei, almost everyone else on the school team was present.

A green-haired man with a serious expression was followed by several sword-like spirits.

He is Zhang Suolong, a member of a collateral branch of a family of sword-wielding masters, and also a standout member of the senior school team, one of the leading figures of Jida University.

As a member of a prestigious family, he didn't care much about the prize money from a single competition, but there were other important things involved in this competition.

Because of Zhang Muchu's existence, the Imperial Sword Family is now almost divided into two factions.

One faction believes that only by cultivating one's own virtue can the family line continue for thousands of years.

Another faction believes that since the family heir already has such a connection with Sho-Chiu, the son of the God Trainer, he should be even more inclined to attach himself to the God.

As a conservative member of a family of sword-wielding warriors, Zoro Zhang hopes to prove that the families of gods are not invincible.

As long as Shang Qiu suffers a setback this time, the radicals will naturally disappear!

It was precisely because of this that he organized the students from other school teams.

He doesn't need to win, nor does he need Shang Qiu to lose, but he must make Shang Qiu suffer a setback, so that the other faction can see that the Divine Family is not invincible!

Seeing that most of the school team members had arrived, Zhang Suolong nodded in satisfaction and squinted his triangular eyes as he scanned the other students present.

"Senior Zhang, what brings you all together at this time?"

"That's right. The school has said that illegal team formation is not allowed. Wouldn't what we're doing be a blatant violation of the school's rules?"

Hearing these people's concerns, Zhang Suolong snorted coldly and said disdainfully:

"Rules? You are too bound by rules and regulations, which is why you cannot enter the arena of power in this world."

“Look at those powerful figures in the alliance, which one of them will abide by the rules?”

"Putting aside other things, did Teacher Jia's reputation come from simply following the rules?"

With just a few words, Zhang Suolong silenced the few people who had been making dissenting opinions.

But he showed no sign of smugness. Instead, he gave those people an apologetic look before continuing:

"Gentlemen, I know that people from our aristocratic families are quite prejudiced against at Jida University, but I have no intention of squeezing Shang Qiu out of the top eight. I just want to save face for us senior students."

"If we are easily defeated by a freshman, not only will our family face criticism within the clan."

"Even for ordinary people like you, your work resumes won't look very good in the future, right?"

Zoro's words resonated with almost everyone: ordinary students usually go to work at dojos or large corporations and companies after graduation.

Regardless of which option you choose, your college experience is extremely important.

Under Zhang Suolong's persuasion, many people hesitated, but no one agreed.

If this had happened before the Westsea City incident, they might have agreed.

However, in the several battles in Xihai City, Shang Qiu's strength and authority were almost deeply etched into everyone's minds.

These ordinary trainers' greatest reliance in this life is Jida University.

There's a saying that goes around that if you haven't been to a top university and want to meet the professors there, you need to become a mid-level officer in the alliance!

This shows how valuable this relationship with Jida University is.

If someone like Shang Qiu were to take charge of Jida University, the school's future would definitely be brighter. When they do, they would be more respected by others when they mention their alma mater.

Seeing that these civilian trainers remained unmoved, Zhang Zoro frowned and gave a wink to someone next to him.

After a brief moment of thought, the man took a few steps forward, stood in front of the ordinary students, and said something that touched their hearts.

"Our family has no intention of harming Shangqiu; we are simply seeking to maintain our influence within the family in the future."

Furthermore, we don't need to illegally form a team to besiege Shangqiu; we just hope to launch a series of attacks, as long as the family can see our capabilities.

If you are all willing to cooperate with us in a series of battles against Shang Qiu, our aristocratic family scions are willing to lead the charge. When you notice Shang Qiu's spirit is running out of stamina, you are welcome to concede at any time!

These words caused an uproar in the entire room.

People from prestigious families are actually willing to be pioneers!

You should know that those who take the lead will be the first to face Shang Qiu and the first to be eliminated.

This sincerity is so great that it's almost impossible to refuse.

If you remove the children from aristocratic families and the other two students trained by teachers employed by the League, the remaining few commoner trainers represent the pinnacle of the entire school's combat strength.

In other words, if they wanted to, the top eight would definitely be Shang Qiu and the remaining seven of them!

The civilian trainers exchanged glances and then nodded in unison.

"I agreed."

“I agree, but we must be nearby to watch when you and Shang Qiu make your move. If you try to kill us, I will stop you immediately.”

"Yes, the overall direction cannot be changed; Shang Qiu must enter the top eight!"

Almost everyone agreed with Zoro and his group's opinion; they were human too, and they too had temptations they couldn't resist.

The prize for being among the top eight in a school-wide competition is something these ordinary students can't refuse.

Moreover, this temptation will not have a substantial impact on Shang Qiu, making it entirely beneficial.

Seeing that everyone had agreed, Zhang Zoro's signature cold expression gradually melted away, and his face broke into a smile.

If this matter is accomplished, he might be able to vie for the position of family heir!

Who says illegitimate children can't have a bright future?

That's it, isn't it?

But the next moment, a classmate's words froze Zhang Suolong's smile on his face.

"No, I disagree! Your victory was unfair!"

"Although I am a commoner, my mentor has always taught me that a true man knows what to do and what not to do."

I absolutely will not agree to this!

"If you're going to do something so dirty, don't drag me into it!"

Zhang Suolong looked at the person speaking, somewhat incredulous.

He wouldn't be surprised if other ordinary students present said the same thing.

But this guy who's talking is usually a nice guy who never objects to anything and treats students of all backgrounds like brothers. Why did he suddenly change his tune today?

"Chen Yi, what's there to object to? I'm not going to force Shang Qiu out of the top eight."

"How about this, I'll go first, and you go last."

"I'm giving you a naughty lightning bolt. If I do anything improper to Shang Qiu, you can kill me. Is that alright?"

Zhang Suolong also believes that Chen Yi is afraid that Shang Qiu will fall out of the top eight, affecting the selection of the Jida Alliance envoy.

But Chen Yi still shook his head, saying, "It would be an unfair victory. I'm leaving."

“If I had known from the beginning that you were going to discuss this kind of thing, I wouldn’t have come.”

"To atone for my sins, I will not compete for the top eight this time, but only for ninth place. Farewell!"

Chapter 496 The Garchomp is possessed and launches a surprise attack on the Great Hound camp!

Above the Great Wolfhound camp.

Shang Qiu piloted his Armored Raven down in a frantic descent, attempting to catch the Garchomp that had slipped and fallen.

However, Garchomp's smooth body and highly aerodynamic design allowed it to fall at a speed far exceeding that of Corviknight's flight speed.
