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

While the freezing ray doesn't cause much damage, it can freeze things up without much trouble.

This is the tactic that Ye Feng came up with.

"Disrupt the light!" The boy realized it too, but he naturally wouldn't let Ye Feng have his way, so he quickly gave the order.

Although the nightjar with a full head of beak can no longer fly, its beak can still be used normally.

Orange-yellow energy rapidly gathered at the tip of its mouth, transforming into a thick beam that met the freezing light, directly scattering it as it continued towards King Thorn Dragon.

"Get away!"

Ye Feng was prepared and ordered the Thorn Dragon King to dodge as soon as his opponent gave the order.

The Thorn Dragon leaped to the side, dodging the destructive ray attack, then turned its head and fired the freezing ray again.

This nightjar clearly hadn't figured out how to overcome the paralysis, and could only stand there, watching helplessly as the freezing rays hit it.

"Crack!"

As the night owl stared in terror, a thick layer of ice rapidly spread from its belly, freezing it into a lump of ice in just a few seconds.

"···"

"···"

Time slowly passed, and amidst the boys' anxious shouts, the referee finally raised his hand. The moment the referee's hand was fully extended, it signified the outcome of the match.

"Nighthawk is unable to continue fighting, King Thorn Dragon wins!"

Ye Feng finally breathed a sigh of relief.

He was also worried that the freeze wouldn't last long because of the reduced attack power of Kingdra, but fortunately, Noctowl was super effective against Ice-type, and the freeze lasted long enough for the referee to decide the outcome.

Just seconds after the referee announced the result, the Night Hawk broke free of the ice and stood there shivering.

The boy looked at Ye Feng with a resentful gaze, then glanced at the referee. It was just a little bit of time difference; if the referee had been a little slower in announcing it, the Night Hawk would have been out.

The referee completely ignored the boy's gaze.

Just kidding, he's been a referee for so many years. By the end of this year's college league, his qualifications will be enough to be promoted to gold medal referee. How could he possibly make a mistake?

With his extensive experience, he started timing the freeze the instant it was completed, even taking into account the time it took for him to raise his hand, completely following the rules of the competition.

"We won!" Ye Feng clenched his fist, surprised that he could win another match despite being at such a disadvantage.

King Thorn Dragon jumped around happily.

The boy left the field full of grievances and resentment, while his fourth opponent angrily rushed onto the field.

Seeing how enthusiastic the contestants were, the referee didn't bother with any more words and directly announced the start of the competition.

"Go, Steelix!" the boy shouted, throwing the Poké Ball with great enthusiasm.

"I surrender!"

"??"

Ye Feng had initially held a sliver of hope, but upon seeing his opponent's Pokémon, he immediately raised his hand. Then, to the astonishment of the boy opposite him, he recalled his Kingdra and calmly walked off the field.

Chapter 198 The Mysterious Fire-Type Pokémon? Probably no match for Arcanine!

"Ye Feng, you're shameless!"

As soon as Ye Feng returned to his seat, he received disdainful looks from his teammates.

Ye Feng shrugged and said calmly, "What's wrong? The Thorn Dragon King used Meteor Shower twice in a row. Although it still has plenty of stamina, the attacks feel like scraping my skin. How am I supposed to fight back?"

"You can't just scrape your opponent until they collapse, can you? This is a competition, not some life-or-death duel. There's no need for that!"

"I'm shameless, but you guys are the ones who are going too far!"

The group looked at each other in bewilderment; Ye Feng's rapid-fire speech had left them speechless.

What should I do? What he said seems to make a lot of sense and I can't refute it, but for some reason I still really want to hit him.

"Alright, alright, stop making excuses." Shang Yixue rubbed her temples.

Seriously, this is my last game... no, it's my last college league game. Can't I just finish it happily?

"Hurry up and get on the field, the referee is urging you to get on."

Ye Feng scratched his cheek. What's wrong? What you just said makes a lot of sense. Why do these people look like they want to beat me up?

I don't understand, I don't understand.

Perhaps this is what the generation gap is all about.

Ye Feng didn't pay attention to the following matches. He figured he couldn't possibly lose anyway, and the team battles weren't his business—he could only choose to participate in either the individual or team battles. So he slipped out of the arena for a walk.

Speaking of which...

Ye Feng was strolling along a forest path when he suddenly remembered someone he had forgotten for a long time, so he took out his phone and sent a message to them.

Soon, the other side responded and called back.

"Ye Feng!"

As soon as Ye Feng answered the video call, a large face appeared on the camera, startling him. He instinctively hung up.

Two seconds later, the phone rang again.

Ye Feng carefully examined the caller ID, confirmed it was Zhang Qiang, and then pressed the answer button.

"Ye Feng! You dare hang up on me?" The same big face was still on the screen.

Ye Feng couldn't help but move his phone further away, saying with a look of disgust, "Hey, can you take your face off the screen? To be honest, it's kind of disgusting."

"You..." Veins bulged visibly on Zhang Qiang's forehead, but he still gritted his teeth and moved away from the camera.

"Why did you send me this message?" Zhang Qiang asked.

"Oh, nothing much, just letting you know I won two individual matches in a row, and I even beat five of them in a row!" Ye Feng said without batting an eye.

The first match was a genuine 1v5 victory. As for the second match... if the side effects of the Meteor Shower weren't so severe, the Dragon King could definitely have won 1v5 again. Anyway, the last two were no match for anyone else.

Since we're all family, there's no need to be so particular. So, rounding up, I still managed to win 1 out of 5.

Well, nothing wrong!

"..." Zhang Qiang's lips twitched, and he remained silent for a long time.

"What's wrong? You didn't lose, did you? No way, no way?" Ye Feng exclaimed, his face involuntarily moving closer.

"Get away from the screen, and don't talk like that, it's disgusting!" Zhang Qiang smacked his lips and pretended to vomit.

"..." Ye Feng's face twitched; he had actually been retorted.

"I'm playing team battles," Zhang Qiang said, turning his face away.

"Oh, a team battle~~~" Ye Feng drawled out.

"You have a problem with that?" Zhang Qiang's face darkened.

"No." Ye Feng shook his head decisively. "By the way, what kind of fire-type Pokémon did you catch before? I still don't know."

Zhang Qiang laughed smugly: "I'm not telling you."

"Are you asking for a beating?" Ye Feng's face darkened.

"Hmph, you'll see when the official competition starts. It will definitely surprise you." Zhang Qiang said smugly.

Ye Feng fell into deep thought.

During the Spring Festival, Zhang Qiang went to a fire-themed secret realm and stayed there for a long time before coming out. By then, Ye Feng had already returned to school.

I don't know what he subdued, and when I asked him, he was very mysterious and wouldn't say.

Wow, I'm so curious!

Zhang Qiang's secrecy must mean that the Pokémon is extremely rare and powerful, and Ye Feng felt a strong urge to try it.

"Anyway, no matter how strong it is, it definitely can't compare to my Gardevoir, and it might not even be able to beat Arcanine." Ye Feng raised his chin and snorted.

"..." Zhang Qiang thought of Ye Feng's Arcanine with the Flash Fire ability, and his face immediately turned so dark that it was invisible even at night without a light.

Damn it, considering that my main Pokémon are all Fire-type, and Flash Fire is a perfect counter to him, it's disgusting!

Why create both Qiang and Feng when Qiang is already here?

Ye Feng must have been sent by heaven to torment Zhang Qiang!

"Go play with your poop somewhere else!" Zhang Qiang finally couldn't hold back anymore, cursed, and hung up the phone.

Ye Feng stared at the black screen, lost in thought. What should he do? He was so curious, he really wanted to know!

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

The first day of competition concluded successfully, with some teams beaming with joy while others looked dejected.

Unsurprisingly, the Imperial University team won a complete victory. Naturally, everyone on the team remained calm and went back to their residences as usual to eat, drink, train, and sleep.

Ye Feng sat cross-legged on the ground, holding a piece of sandpaper in his hand, polishing the armor on Kedora's body—especially the head.

Gyarados and Arcanine were dozing off to one side, while Gardevoir and Kingdra were exchanging ideas on how to use Dragon-type energy. The Dragon Balls—spiral-type Dragon-type balls—had been basically developed with the help of Kingdra and were in the final stabilization stage.

Kodora lay on the ground with her limbs outstretched, enjoying the pleasure brought by the sandpaper friction, and occasionally letting out a comfortable "Goo-goo!" sound.
