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

"Alright, that's about it!" Ye Feng patted Kodora's shiny armor and smiled.

Kodora excitedly stood up and ran to the full-length mirror on the side, turning around and admiring her gleaming armor.

"Tch, quite vain." Ye Feng chuckled, then tossed the sandpaper aside and walked over to Gardevoir and Kingdra.

"How's the development of Dragon Ball going?"

Gardevoir turned around, nodded, and extended its right hand, where a blue and purple energy ball appeared.

Ye Feng looked at the Dragon Ball, nodded in satisfaction, and reached out to pat Gardevoir's head: "Not bad, not bad, as expected of my Gardevoir."

Gardevoir paused for a moment, then turned her face slightly away, looking a little embarrassed.

Ye Feng scratched his cheek. Why did Gardevoir seem so aloof as it grew up? It used to be so clingy to him when it was little.

However, the mysterious connection between him and Gardevoir told him that Gardevoir still loved and trusted him very much, so he could only attribute this to the "Queen of Psychic Power's" reserve.

Furthermore, this connection also exists with Gyarados, and Ye Feng vaguely senses a similar connection with Arcanine.

But for some reason, whenever Ye Feng tried to sense it carefully, that connection would hide away like a shy little girl, making it difficult to detect.

This connection, combined with his own conjecture about life energy, made Ye Feng unable to help but wonder... could Arcanine also have Mega Evolution?

My research on life energy has been stagnant.

The only benefit discovered so far from life energy is that it allows Ye Feng's Pokémon to steadily increase their strength, which is more effective than training.

However... a breakthrough in the level of life is still a long way off, or rather, we haven't even touched it yet.

Is it that my current strength is not enough, and I haven't reached my growth limit yet? Perhaps I'll be able to touch that threshold once I reach the master level?

When it comes to mastering life energy, Xerneas is probably the most outstanding, right? Perhaps I could find an opportunity to ask him for advice.

Unfortunately, after the last incident, it's unclear where Xerneas and Yveltal's secret realms have moved to.

Chapter 199 Want some popcorn and cola?

Time passed quickly.

A week later.

The Imperial University team fought their way through... well, not really, it was quite an easy journey.

During this period of competition, Kodora has gained a lot of experience and seems to be getting more and more active lately. Ye Feng guesses that it is about to evolve.

The main purpose was to let the Kingdra go out and train, gaining a lot of experience and smoothly advancing to the advanced level.

Ye Feng couldn't help but sigh. Although Kingdra was slightly inferior to many other Dragon-type Pokémon in terms of base stats, it now seemed that its talent was by no means low.

Ye Feng had initially thought that Kingdra should be able to learn Iron Head, and with Adolphin ready to teach it, he had it train with Adolphin for two days. However, it seemed to lack talent in this area; even after its head swelled up, it showed no signs of learning...

On the contrary, Arcanine learned Iron Head, which Kingdra couldn't learn, just by watching the fun. This is a case of "the flowers planted with care don't bloom, but the willows planted unintentionally thrive".

Moreover, Ye Feng discovered that no matter what move it was, as long as it was something Arcanine could learn in his memory, he could learn it almost effortlessly and become proficient very quickly.

It seems that learning martial arts moves also requires talent.

For example, Gyarados cannot learn Fire-type moves...

The same goes for the Thorn Dragon King; it has very low talent in physical attack moves, but its special attack moves amaze Ye Feng.

Although Ironhead didn't learn it, it quickly learned Hyper Beam under Gyarados's tutelage. Moreover, Kingdra didn't freeze after using Hyper Beam, which moved Ye Feng deeply—he now had a Pokémon that could use Hyper Beam at will! Unfortunately, it seemed to be Kingdra's talent, and there was no way to teach it to Gyarados.

Now that we have Devastating Beam, we can save our signature move, Meteor Shower, as a trump card. Otherwise, we'd have to use Meteor Shower twice every time we go into battle, and if it doesn't defeat the opponent, that would be a bit too much.

Then, while teaching Gyarados Dragon Pulse, he himself mastered Water Pulse...

But what Ye Feng really hoped for was that the Thorn Dragon King could learn the Reverse Scale skill.

In that case, Arcanine will most likely be able to learn it, and Gyarados seems to have a good talent for Dragon-type energy, so it shouldn't be a problem either.

Isn’t it wonderful?

If only I had taken Ni Lin with me when I made the deal with Gu Ruyun.

At the time, I didn't intend to trade away the Spiral Ball; I only wanted Dragon Dance, which would greatly enhance Gyarados. Later, after catching Kingdra, it wasn't appropriate to raise the price for Outrage, since I originally thought Kingdra would learn Outrage on its own.

result···

It seems I'm still a long way from being a legendary master of networking.

They're tightly controlling their own internal sharing of techniques, while others are profiting from it all...

There was nothing he could do; the moves Ye Feng wanted were hard to find on the market.

While there are people like Ironhead, why waste money buying one when you can have one readily available? The Elf Professor's methods are actually more efficient and effective.

Ye Feng is no longer worried about his Pokémon learning too many moves. After reaching a high level, he found that the Pokémon's proficiency with moves improved very quickly. He no longer worries about biting off more than he can chew; he now only feels that there aren't enough.

If the Pokémon learn enough moves, then in future battles, as long as you choose moves that are effective against the opponent's Pokémon, the battle will be a breeze.

What? I heard your Charizard is very strong?

Eat my Dragon Pulse! Huh? You haven't Mega Evolved yet? Oh, then eat my Hydro Pump and Thunder!

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

The tenth day of the college league qualifiers.

This year's league seems different from the past. Ye Feng frequently achieved 1-to-5 victories, bringing many teams to tears. Seeing their own teams lagging far behind others in points, many teams simply gave up and chose to watch other teams continue their painful struggles from the stands.

That day, Imperial University finally drew a formidable opponent—the school team from Renmin University.

This is their first meeting in this league, and the two teams are ranked first and second respectively in points – only the difference in points is slightly larger.

"This time it's the Renmin University team, and they're much stronger than the other teams. Ye Feng, are you still planning to send Thorn Dragon King?" Shang Yixue asked in the waiting area.

Ye Feng stroked his chin and thought for a moment before saying, "No, let Gardevoir go this time."

"Why don't you send out Gyarados or Arcanine?" Shang Yixue said, opening her mouth.

Gardevoir is the strongest Pokémon in Ye Feng's team. Even with the boosts from Dragon Dance and Overconfidence, Gyarados is probably no match for Gardevoir. There's no way around it; even with the boost from Dragon Dance, Gyarados still falls short of Gardevoir in speed, and with the addition of a Spiral Ball, it's no match at all.

Is Ye Feng planning to become inhuman and try to crush the opponent?

That's not a good idea. The two schools are so close to each other, and there will definitely be many opportunities for exchanges in the future. If someone beats you out in a competition like this, won't you become enemies in the future?

But Shang Yixue seemed to have forgotten that the Imperial University team had already made quite a few enemies, entirely thanks to Ye Feng.

"That's not a good idea." Ye Feng looked troubled. "In the past few days of competition, Gyarados and Kingdra have had the most appearances, and Pteranodon has also made quite a few appearances. Even Arcanine has participated in several matches. Gardevoir has just been watching from the sidelines. I'm afraid that if I don't let it participate in the matches, it will complain. Don't worry, I'll go easy on it."

"..." Shang Yixue was speechless.

Do you think this is a place for your elves to play and relax?

"Please, Captain~~~" Ye Feng quickly started to whine in a high-pitched voice when he saw that Shang Yixue was about to refuse.

"You're fucking disgusting!" Shang Yixue felt a chill run down her spine, took several steps back, and even couldn't help but swear.

"Fine, whatever you want. You're in charge of the individual competition anyway, so you can handle it yourself." Shang Yixue waved her hand and went to the side to discuss the details of the team battle with her teammates.

"Um, what do you guys think?" Ye Feng looked at his teammates who were also participating in the individual competition. After all, the school team wasn't his sole decision-making power, so he still needed to ask for other people's opinions.

"No comment!"

"Go ahead and do it, I'll just lie here and be done."

"I'm going to buy some popcorn and Coke, do you guys want some?"

"Yes!" "Yes!" "Yes!"

If Gardevoir is involved, they'll most likely not get a chance to play, but they're more than happy to agree—they're not battle maniacs like Ye Feng, who's here to earn honor in the college league, so it would be great if they could just coast into the official tournament.

Moreover, this is only the qualifiers. Once the official tournament begins, each team will be the top team in their respective region. Ye Feng will definitely not be able to continue dominating the individual competitions. They will naturally have their own opportunities to play.

Now I can slack off and get into the official competition, and I can also give face to the future captain. Why not?

Chapter 200 Are you trying to target me?

After friendly negotiations, Gardevoir got the chance to play, while the other four sat happily in their seats with large buckets of popcorn and large cups of cola, ready to be spectators.

"···"

"Captain, how about we switch Ye Feng to the team battle?" One of the team members in charge of the team battle couldn't help but say to Shang Yixue, seeing how much fun the four players in the individual battle were having slacking off.

Shang Yixue's face darkened, and she glared at the man: "What are you thinking? No matter how strong Ye Feng is, it's still an individual battle. Team battles are not a one-man fight. Even Gardevoir is bound to lose if it gets ganged up on by five people."

"Everyone, focus on the game! If anyone gets knocked out of the game, you'll be in for a beating when you get back!"

The team member who made the suggestion scratched his head and gave an awkward smile; he knew his idea was unrealistic.

Although Shang Yixue also wanted to slack off, she was the captain after all and had to set an example. She could only look enviously at the few people who were slacking off, think about how to give them some extra training when she got back, and then turn her attention to the competition.

As is customary, the individual competitions will begin first.

Ye Feng excitedly ran up to the stage, only to find that the people from Renmin University on the other side had not yet come up, so he had no choice but to wait patiently.

"..." The referee glanced at Ye Feng, opened his mouth but said nothing.

He was in charge of all the Imperial University team's matches during this period, and he had naturally seen Ye Feng's strength; he was quite strong.

Especially that Gyarados, once it activates Dragon Dance, its tail is practically a field destroyer. And when it wins another battle and triggers its Overconfidence ability... tsk tsk.

I hope the people from Renmin University are alright.
