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

···

Ye Feng took the dragon scales, rode Gu Ruyun's eagle, and left Dragon Island, quickly returning to his hotel.

"You're back so soon?" Ning Xian asked in surprise as she returned to her room.

"Yes, I'll come back as soon as I've caught the Pokémon. Dragon Island doesn't allow outsiders to stay for too long," Ye Feng replied.

"Where's the elf? Let me see!" Ning Xian said coquettishly, shaking Ye Feng's arm.

"Alright, alright, I'll show you. Come out, King Thorn Dragon."

"Ci Lu?" The Thorn Dragon King appeared in the room, bent down slightly, and looked at Ye Feng with a puzzled expression, wondering why Ye Feng had released him into such a small place.

"Uh, my girlfriend wants to meet you," Ye Feng explained, scratching his head.

"Wow, is that King Thorn Dragon? It looks so cool!" Ning Xian exclaimed, touching King Thorn Dragon's belly.

"Ci Lu!" Upon hearing Ning Xian praise his handsomeness, Ci Long Wang straightened his back proudly, only to bump into the ceiling, forcing him to bend down again in grievance.

"Pfft!" Ning Xian couldn't help but laugh when she saw the Dragon King's funny appearance. The Dragon King awkwardly turned its face away.

"Hahaha!" Ye Feng couldn't help but laugh too.

-------------------------------------

The press conference concluded successfully, and Ye Feng successfully captured a Dragon-type Pokémon.

Deng Ruizhe took Ning Xian back to Jiangning City, while Ye Feng and Guo Pengfei returned to Imperial University.

Upon returning to school, Ye Feng went to the Pokémon Center for a thorough check-up, but no problems were found with Kingdra's body.

It seems that the purple color of the Thorn Dragon King might not be flashy enough. As for why this happened, even Deng Ruizhe didn't know, let alone Ye Feng.

However, since there were no problems, Ye Feng could only put the matter aside for the time being.

Kingdra currently possesses the following moves: Hydro Pump, Bubble Beam, Dragon Pulse, Meteor Shower, Hurricane, Dragon Breath, Smoke Screen, Ice Beam, Rain Dance, and Agility.

The quantity is considerable, and the quality is also good.

Its special ability is sniping, and its personality is gentle.

The traits are good, and as mentioned earlier, personality doesn't have a particularly large impact on strength, which can be compensated for through training.

Ye Feng plans to acquire a move learning machine to teach Kingdra moves.

With this combination of Focus and Sniper ability, Kingdra's offensive power is immediately maximized, even surpassing Gyarados's Inch Punch, and it might even be able to challenge Gardevoir's Spiral Ball.

As for the dragon scale, Ye Feng hadn't figured out what to do with it yet. He could only let the Thorn Dragon King carry it and slowly absorb the dragon energy inside to improve its strength.

While Ye Feng was busy devising the next training plan for the elf, Shang Yixue's message arrived.

The National College League starts next week.

Chapter 190 The College League Begins

The team dormitory of Beijing Capital University.

Shang Yixue looked at everyone who had arrived and nodded with satisfaction.

Recently, she noticed that the team members were more present, unlike before when she could only see a few people 7 days a week.

···

It seems that Ye Feng was busy preparing for some researcher results presentation and didn't have time to proofread the team.

That's not bad.

However, the press conference seems to have ended. In order to prevent Ye Feng from causing any more trouble, we need to find a way to give him something to do.

Fortunately, it's currently during the college league season, so there's no need to worry about this for now.

As for what happened after the match...

Anyway, I didn't have to stay on the school team anymore, so let future generations worry about what would happen next.

Moreover, Ye Feng is still the next captain, and the others don't seem to have much of an opinion. If the captain wants to cause trouble... it seems the team members can only put up with it.

Well, whatever. I'm not around anymore anyway, so let future generations worry about it.

Hahaha···

Shang Yixue shook her head, clearing away the strange thoughts in her mind, and then glanced around before saying, "I won't say anything more. I hope everyone, especially the seniors, will give it their all in the upcoming college league next week, so that we don't leave any regrets in this last competition of our university years."

"Don't worry, Captain, this championship is still ours!"

"I will work hard, Captain!"

"A mere championship title isn't something you can just easily win?"

"Captain, you can go home and get married without worry!"

···

Shang Yixue's brow twitched. Hmm? Did something strange sneak in?

But after looking around, she couldn't find anyone to speak to. The others didn't seem to react much either; they were all staring at her eagerly. She hadn't really heard them clearly anyway…

Never mind, it's probably just my imagination.

"We'll be having an intensive training session over the next few days. If you have classes, please ask your teachers for leave in time, otherwise it will be considered an absence," Shang Yixue said.

The National College League lasts from one day to one month.

Why is there such a big time difference? Of course, it's because the worst-performing school lost on the first day, so they only had one day left; while schools like Imperial University, which fought their way to the finals and won the championship, had the longest time of a month.

During this period, team members need to focus on preparing for the competition, so they can take leave from all classes on campus without being counted as absent.

As for the classes I missed, I'll have to find a way to catch up after the competition ends.

But don't worry, every year the Imperial College team has volunteer students who help take notes and record class videos for the team members to catch up on later.

There's no way around it; winning too many championships makes us, as fellow students of Imperial University, feel proud.

Since they couldn't join the school team, they were still very willing to lend a helping hand to the other team members.

In previous years, quite a few people left the group after spending more time with the team members.

Congratulations!

-------------------------------------

Currently, the largest official competition in the world is the World Championships, which can be simply understood as the World Cup or the Olympics in the past.

Secondly, there is the World Masters Tournament, which is only open to Master-level trainers. Due to the limited number of participants, it is much smaller in scale, but in terms of both popularity and skill level, it is undoubtedly the most prestigious. This competition is also the main battleground for competition between nations.

The two matches mentioned above are world-class competitions. Correspondingly, the national-level competitions are the National College League and the National Professional League.

The names of these two competitions clearly indicate their target audience: college students and professional trainers.

The university league is held in mid-April each year; while the professional league is held around National Day every two years.

We won't discuss the next professional league yet, as it's still a year away; the current focus is on the university league.

The university league is divided into 34 divisions based on provinces. First, there is a 15-20 day preliminary round, in which 34 teams are selected from each division. Finally, they gather in Beijing for the final competition.

The Imperial University team is naturally in the Beijing division.

Gibberish, gibberish, let's skip the pre-match content and jump straight to the day the qualifiers begin.

The National Stadium is where the preliminary rounds for the capital city will be held. The official matches after the preliminary rounds will be held at the National Stadium (Bird's Nest).

There are currently 92 universities in the capital city. Over the next ten days, these 92 teams will compete fiercely to determine the final winner.

The Imperial University team is led by Dean Chen—it seems that every time the Imperial University team goes to an official competition, Dean Chen is the one leading them, even though he is not the coach.

However, with such a high-level trainer leading the way, everyone felt much more at ease.

The first day was the opening ceremony.

Dean Chen led everyone to the venue, to the Imperial University's location, and then left the team members behind, disappearing without a trace.

As the champion of the previous college league, the Imperial University team was naturally placed at the very front of all the teams, while the remaining 91 teams were divided into three rows behind the Imperial University team.

Ye Feng peeked out and saw that each school team had 12 members. There were 92 teams on site, plus the teachers leading them, making nearly 1200 people. Standing in the team, it was a sea of ​​heads.

"Ye Feng, stand still and don't move." Shang Yixue noticed the movement behind her and turned around. "Be serious."

"Oh." Ye Feng shrank back, stomped his foot hard, and stood at attention in a standard military posture.

"There's no need for that," Shang Yixue said helplessly, rubbing her temples.

"What exactly do you want?" Ye Feng shrugged. Looking wasn't enough, and standing still wasn't enough either. Captain, you're so hard to please!

"Well!" Shang Yixue's forehead visibly creased into a well shape as she gritted her teeth and said, "Can't you learn from others?"

Ye Feng turned his head and looked at it, speechless, "That's it? Captain, are you sure you want me to learn from them?"

Shang Yixue glanced at them and her brows twitched immediately—while the two were talking, the others also started to get restless, looking around and whispering among themselves, even more so than Ye Feng.

You can faintly hear someone say, "Hey, look at that girl in that line over there, she's so pretty!"

"I know, I know, that's the team from Imperial Normal University. I heard that girl is one of the top three campus beauties. She's super pretty and very strong."

"I have a bold idea. I'm going to ask for someone's WeChat later. Guys, give me your support?"

"No, you don't!"
