Pokémon Scenario: Intercepting Gible at the Start

"Chen Yi was truly righteous and didn't get involved in our affairs. He didn't live a life of injustice."

"Chen Yi is indeed loyal. Just because he discussed this matter with us, he's willing to tie his own hands and give up the competition for the top eight..."

"Yes, it's a pity that someone like that only got ninth place!"

Upon hearing their words, a figure flashed through Shang Qiu's mind.

Isn't this the top-tier elite trainer whose script he reviewed?

How could mere elites possibly compete for the top eight?

Even if his script included capturing a drunken Gym Leader-level Pokémon, these people shouldn't know that.

And this person even went to compete for ninth place. How can there be so many coincidences in the world?

There's definitely something fishy going on!

Thinking of this, Shang Qiu signaled Garchomp to stop and turned to look at the civilian trainer who had spoken first.

"Senior, could you tell me more about Chen Yi?"

"I'm quite curious about when he came to Jida University and what kind of spirit he has."

The senior student assumed that Shang Qiu had overheard his words and wanted to mentor Chen Yi, so he didn't hide anything.

"Junior student Chen Yi entered Jida University a long time ago, and has been here for three years now."

"His first Pokémon was a Bellsprout that knew physical attacks, which is now his ace Pokémon and has evolved into a Gym Leader level Pokémon."

Shang Qiu was somewhat surprised, "A bud at the level of a museum master?"

The senior nodded. "Yes, he used an Everstone and put almost all his effort into Bellsprout, without raising any other Pokémon."

"The only Pokémon he has left is a level 20+ Chansey with Heavenly Grace."

Hearing this, Shang Qiu was almost certain that something was wrong with Chen Yi.

Jida University doesn't have any really good martial arts teachers, so what is this guy, who practices Jiu-Jitsu, doing at Jida University?

As for whether his training methods were acquired by chance, Shang Qiu had not thought about it.

Where do all these cheaters come from in this world?

His desire to get ninth place alone is questionable!

Shang Qiu used the scales to wake up the leader of the big wolfhounds and asked him to help keep an eye on the senior students.

As long as these people aren't eliminated, Chen Yi will have to hunt them down relentlessly outside in order to secure ninth place.

This was Shang Qiu's final test for him!

Chapter 504 The Top Sixteen Emerge, Chen Yi Exposed

With Zhang Suolong's words, Zhang Shihao no longer dared to back down.

If we back down now, it would be tantamount to offending Zoro.

In that case... he would have no standing in the family anymore.

"Junior, please be kind. May I send out a few Pokémon?"

As soon as he said that, the civilian trainers around him all shouted that he was shameless.

This gang fight has become a habit?

But before they could speak up for Shang Qiu, they heard Shang Qiu's reply.

"Senior, bring out as many Pokémon as you have. I can only bring out three at most."

Shang Qiu didn't boast that he would only use Garchomp. Better safe than sorry. Who knows if a powerful figure might suddenly appear among this group?

Upon hearing Shang Qiu's words, Zhang Shihao said no more and directly summoned his spirit.

People from prominent families rarely care about saving face; they are content as long as they achieve their goals.

A Golduck, an Arcanine, and a Swordslinger appeared in front of Garchomp; all three Pokémon were Gym Leader level.

Garchomp stared intently at Arcanine, drooling involuntarily from the corner of its mouth.

Finally, finally I've encountered a big dog that I can beat!

"Roar!"

Garchomp raised a sandstorm to obscure its vision, then charged straight at Arcanine.

He's going to use his Bite and Dragon Breath skills to lick this big dog's kind to death!

"Garcinia, Dig a hole to avoid the attack!"

"Aegislash, use King's Shield to block Garchomp!"

"Golduck, use the Wonder Space!"

With Zhang Shih-hao's commands, Garchomp's offensive was instantly thwarted.

In the world of elves, the existence of these unique skills makes every battle full of possibilities.

Cases of subordinates overthrowing their superiors are not uncommon!

Garchomp's Crush attack successfully hit Aegislash, leaving a crack in its body.

The next moment, Arcanine appeared behind Garchomp and unleashed a Flamethrower at Garchomp's face, successfully hitting it.

"Roar!"

Limited by the strange space, Garchomp's defenses became extremely weak, and it let out a painful roar.

Fortunately, his level was not low and his life attribute was relatively strong, so he could withstand it.

The next moment, Garchomp no longer hesitated and used the Earthquake move.

The ground trembled, and countless cracks appeared centered on the Garchomp, spreading into the distance.

At the same time, all three of Zhang Shih-hao's Pokémon were hit by the powerful shockwave and collapsed to the ground.

A series of system notifications exploded in Shang Qiu's mind.

[Ding! Garchomp defeated Golduck, gaining 278 experience points.]

[Ding! Garchomp defeated Arcanine, gaining 278 experience points.]

[Ding! Garchomp defeated Aegislash, gaining 278 experience points.]

Unfortunately, the mission of breaking through Jida University did not complete the three major articles.

Shang Qiu was not surprised. Zhang Shihao's command ability was only so-so, and the elves were not particularly strong.

If he were to command these three Pokémon, although he might not be able to defeat Garchomp, he could definitely last for more than ten rounds.

Besides, all the top students from Jida University are in this grove today; it's only a matter of time before they break through Jida's defenses.

Thinking of this, Shang Qiu gestured to the other senior students to invite them.

"Other senior students, please make your move!"

...

A minute later, only seven trainers remained who hadn't been attacked. Including Shang Qiu, there were eight people left.

Shang Qiu has confirmed through the script and Jia Hongtao that all seven of these people are genuine members of the common people faction.

Having successfully completed the second-year section of the Jida University mission, only the third-year section remains to complete the entire mission.

At the same time, the voices of Marxism-Leninism echoed in unison on their badges of the top 100:

"Students, there are now sixteen students remaining. The competition area has been narrowed down. Please proceed to the area within a one-kilometer radius of the center as soon as possible."

"Anyone who takes less than five minutes is eliminated!"

The people present showed no excitement about being in the "circle of destiny," but rather wore bitter expressions.

Those seven are already destined to be eliminated, and those who are far from Shang Qiuyuan are almost guaranteed to make it to the top eight!

A commoner student shook his head, his face pale.

While part of his purpose in coming here was to save face, his main goal was to ensure that Shang Qiu made it into the top eight.

If possible, they should also make it into the quarterfinals and give up competing for Shang Qiu's vote, thus securing their position as the alliance envoy.

But now it seems... that their plan backfired, allowing some non-commoner factions to enter the top eight.

In their view, under these circumstances, Shang Qiu would not allow them to enter the top eight!

Thinking of this, the civilians shook their heads and blamed themselves.

"Chen Yi was truly righteous and didn't get involved in our affairs. He didn't live a life of injustice."

"Chen Yi is indeed loyal. Just because he discussed this matter with us, he's willing to tie his own hands and give up the competition for the top eight..."

"Yes, it's a pity that someone like that only got ninth place!"
