I haven't decided on a name for my Pokémon trainer yet.

Zhang Qiang's face darkened: "Stop talking nonsense, are you coming or not?"

"How much?" Ye Feng asked.

"..." Zhang Qiang's face immediately turned as black as charcoal, and he turned and walked towards the parking lot.

"Hey, wait for me!" Ye Feng knew he had gone too far with his joke. Zhang Qiang was shy, and it was already difficult enough for him to say he would come to pick him up. It wouldn't be good to keep teasing him.

He quickly dragged his suitcase and chased after them.

Wow, you actually bought a car? Did you get your driver's license?

"Zhang Qiang actually drove here," Ye Feng asked as he stuffed his luggage into the trunk.

"Nonsense!" Zhang Qiang rolled his eyes. "Hurry up and get in the car, everyone's waiting for us."

"Everyone? Who else?" Ye Feng asked as he fastened his seatbelt as he sat in the passenger seat.

"You'll know when you arrive."

Along the way, Ye Feng kept asking questions and learned that Zhang Qiang had also successfully entered the Magic University's school team and that Charmeleon had evolved into Charizard.

In that case, the two of them might run into each other during next year's inter-school exchange program.

···

Zhang Qiang drove very fast, almost skirting the speed limit, constantly weaving left and right to overtake other vehicles.

It was Ye Feng's first time riding in Zhang Qiang's car, and he didn't know how good Zhang Qiang's driving skills were. He screamed in fright the whole way, making Zhang Qiang roll his eyes.

Soon, the car arrived at a restaurant in Jinghai city.

Upon entering the private room that Zhang Qiang had reserved, Ye Feng immediately saw several familiar faces.

"Ye Feng, you're here." Gu Siming walked over with a smile.

"You fatso, you've gotten even rounder!" Ye Feng hugged Gu Siming and patted his fleshy back hard, making him cough.

"Are you trying to kill me?!" Gu Siming punched Ye Feng in the chest.

"Ah Feng~" Ning Xian walked up with a smile and snuggled into Ye Feng's arms.

Ning Xian was wearing a light yellow long dress, white tights, and little leather boots, looking very cute.

Although the two had met not long ago, Ye Feng couldn't help but raise M249 as he smelled the wonderful aroma.

"Ahem!" Suddenly, a coughing sound rang out in the room.

Ye Feng looked up and saw that it was his homeroom teacher, Liu Ye.

"Old Liu, what are you doing here?" Ye Feng asked in surprise, blurting out the nickname he only used in private.

"Is that how you call your teacher?" Although he knew that his students would call him that in private, Liu Ye still felt a little amused and exasperated when his former students suddenly called him that.

"Uh, sorry, Teacher Liu, I was just so happy to see you that I couldn't help myself." Ye Feng scratched his head awkwardly.

"Alright, you must be tired after traveling all this way. Sit down and have something to eat."

"Ye Feng, eat your fill. Let's have a match later. This time, you're definitely no match for me."

Zhang Qiang sat opposite Ye Feng, arms crossed, and coolly issued the challenge.

"Oh?" Ye Feng raised an eyebrow.

Having not been beaten up for several days, is Zhang Qiang getting cocky?

Chapter 150, Match 1: Arcanine vs. Machamp

During the meal, everyone ate while casually chatting about things at school.

Gu Siming has completely given up on going to school. He hardly ever attends classes and often runs back to his small island to manage the business.

According to him, tourism on the island is thriving. Thanks to the spirits' ability to alter the weather, the island is divided into four seasonal areas to cater to different tourists, making it very popular…

His confident and eloquent manner made Ye Feng sigh, "He's really become the eldest son of a wealthy family."

Of course, Ye Feng was expressing praise and envy.

As for Liu Ye, after Ye Feng's class graduated, he naturally taught a new class of first-year high school students. However, according to Liu Ye, it was the worst class he had ever taught. Ye Feng curled his lip. Liu Ye had said the same thing when he taught their class.

Is it possible that Liu Ye has been training the worst class in every year?

That's like saying everyone wastes a minute—you can't believe it at all!

Ye Feng patted his chest and said, "After all, not every student can be as outstanding as me."

The others all cursed him for being shameless.

Ning Xian chose a research major and is currently working as an intern researcher at Deng Ruizhe's Totodile Research Institute. Recently, she has been studying the secrets of Eevee's evolution—mainly Sylveon. During this time, she also evolved an Eevee with two other abilities, Run Away and Anticipation, into Sylveon.

After all, this kind of elf has only been around for a short time, and there are still many secrets about it that can be discovered.

Ning Xian has developed brand new Fairy-type moves, Misty Terrain and Play Rough—Ye Feng said he'd teach Gardevoir Misty Terrain another day.

Furthermore, Ning Xian discovered that Eevee with the Danger Predator ability, after evolving into Sylveon, will have a completely new ability that allows it to change Normal-type moves into Fairy-type moves.

Ye Feng had only just learned of this and was very surprised. He strongly suggested naming this characteristic "Fairy Skin".

Zhang Qiang couldn't help but interject, "Why do you have to interfere with other people's research findings?"

Fairy skins are only available to Mega Gardevoir and Mega Altaria, as well as Sylveon's hidden ability, and she actually discovered them.

Ye Feng pondered to himself, looking for an opportunity to reveal to her the evolution methods of Espeon and Umbreon—after all, she was his girlfriend, and since she was now researching Eevee's evolution, he definitely had to support her.

As for Zhang Qiang, he had already joined the Magic University's school team around the same time as Ye Feng.

Charmeleon has evolved into Charizard, Machop has evolved into Machamp, and I've also caught a Ninetales. I'm currently considering my next Pokémon, and I've initially decided on a Fighting-type Pokémon—it seems I'm going to specialize in Fire-type Pokémon with some Fighting-type Pokémon as a supplement.

Next up was Ye Feng.

First place in military training, first place in the freshman exchange meeting, early entry into the school team, author of a thesis on the Fairy Department, defeated the captain of the Seoul National University school team from H country, and a strong candidate for the next captain of the Imperial University school team—although not publicly announced, almost everyone thought so, and Shang Yixue also planned to do so…

Ning Xian already knew, but hearing it again still made her feel a surge of pride—look, such an outstanding guy is her boyfriend!

Zhang Qiang only knew that Ye Feng was the first place winner at the freshman exchange meeting, so he wasn't surprised that Ye Feng was on the school team. But he was hearing about the other things for the first time, and he immediately felt a lot of pressure. Ye Feng had already gone so far, and he had to work hard too.

Although Gu Siming was surprised, he quickly accepted it, saying that his good brother was of course the best.

Liu Ye sighed with emotion, never expecting that he could mentor such an outstanding student. Although he might not have been able to help Ye Feng achieve his success, Ye Feng was still his student, and he would have something to brag about in the future.

···

After a pleasant meal, Zhang Qiang couldn't wait to drag Ye Feng to the public battlefield.

"No, is it really necessary to be in such a hurry? It's already the holidays, I'm not going anywhere." Ye Feng said helplessly, he still wanted to have a "private chat" with Ning Xian.

“Yes, there’s a holiday.” Zhang Qiang looked at Ye Feng with burning eyes.

After hearing that Ye Feng had done a better job than him, he had already planned to make good use of this holiday to spar with Ye Feng.

Ye Feng shuddered, suddenly remembering the fear he had felt when Zhang Qiang harassed him in the past.

Although both are training matches, the feeling of being proactive and being passive is quite different. He suddenly understood how his teammates on the school team felt.

Ye Feng chuckled twice. He suddenly thought, why not spend the New Year in the secret realm this year?

If Ye Feng's teammates on the school team knew what he was thinking, they would definitely try to build a good relationship with Zhang Qiang and get Zhang Qiang to keep Ye Feng in check.

Ye Feng was genuinely a little intimidated by Zhang Qiang, though he couldn't quite put his finger on why—it's probably a case of one thing subduing another.

However, since he was already there, Ye Feng naturally wouldn't refuse a fight. He also wanted to see how much his former opponent had grown.

"Let's have a 3v3 battle this time. We're not rookie trainers anymore," Zhang Qiang said, holding a Poké Ball.

"No objection." Ye Feng shrugged.

"Go, Machamp!" Zhang Qiang threw out a Poké Ball. Since it was his challenge, he would naturally send out his Pokémon first.

Ye Feng pondered for a moment, then took out Arcanine's Poké Ball and released Akadra, letting it watch the battle from the sidelines and gain some experience.

"By the way, Zhang Qiang, what's the gender of your superhuman strength? Is it female?" Ye Feng suddenly asked.

Zhang Qiang was momentarily confused, but still answered, "No, it's male."

"Oh..." Ye Feng was somewhat disappointed.

"Huh?" Zhang Qiang looked puzzled. Superhuman strength doesn't have gender differences, so what's the impact?

"Bodybuilding!" Zhang Qiang snapped out of his reverie and stopped thinking about it, focusing on the battle and directing his superhuman strength to use Bodybuilding to boost his stats.

The monstrous strength began to show off, with both its defense and attack power increasing simultaneously.

"Rapid speed after high-speed movement".

Ye Feng naturally wouldn't just stand by and watch the monstrous strength boost its power, so he immediately used his fastest attack to seize the opportunity to strike.

Arcanine became a blur, and after gaining the speed boost from High Speed, its speed and power reached new heights, colliding with Machamp in the blink of an eye.

"Hmph! Use the momentum to throw me!"

Machamp stopped physique-building, but at the same time, by twisting his body while showing off his muscles, he alleviated the damage from Extreme Speed. Before Arcanine could react, he grabbed Arcanine's front paws and neck with all four hands and threw it out with a powerful over-the-shoulder throw.

Arcanine struggled to adjust its posture in mid-air, then turned around and unleashed a burst of flame.

A white light emanated from the monstrous strength as it unleashed a tile-splitting attack, forcefully shattering the flames.

"Flash Charge!"
