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

"'Firm'? What kind of move is that?" Yang Han had never heard this word before, and a big question mark appeared above his head.

"It's a secret, not something you can just tell anyone." Ye Feng shrugged.

From the success of "circle" to the derivation of "firmness", Ye Feng realized that this ability might have even greater potential waiting for him to develop, so he naturally wouldn't easily tell others, let alone Yang Han.

"Damn it, don't underestimate me!" Yang Han felt slighted and was furious. He roared, "Bulbasaur, use Solar Beam!"

Surrounded by sleep powder, Bulbasaur is not afraid of Kirlia's close-range control, thus having the opportunity to charge up Solar Beam.

"Foolish, foolish, foolish!"

Bulbasaur begins to gather its strength.

"The alluring voice".

Ye Feng naturally wouldn't just stand there and watch.

"Lu, Lu!"

Kirlia didn't immediately use Charm, but instead called out twice more.

Ye Feng's face darkened: "Don't be reckless, be careful not to crash. There will be plenty of opportunities for testing."

Kirlia actually wanted to use "Steel" to block the intense sunlight? Did it evolve and lose its brain? That's one of the Grass-type's ultimate moves!

Kirlia responded, and since the trainer disagreed, it couldn't act on its own, so it began to sing loudly.

"stupid?"

Upon hearing the song, Bulbasaur paused, stopped charging up Solar Beam, and began grinning foolishly at Kirlia, slowly walking towards the outside of the Hypnosis Powder.

"Bulbasaur! What are you doing! Wake up!"

Yang Han shouted anxiously, but it had no effect. Bulbasaur ignored his voice, its mind only focused on Kirlia singing in front of it.

Once Bulbasaur moves out of the range of the hypnotic powder, its alluring voice truly begins to unleash its power.

As the pitch rose, Bulbasaur's smile gradually disappeared, and it began to show signs of pain, soon clutching its head and screaming in agony.

"Bulbasaur, hang in there, use Vine Whip!"

After being injured, the charm effect of the Enchanting Voice naturally disappeared, and Yang Han was able to control Bulbasaur.

Bulbasaur gritted its teeth, enduring the intense headache, and lashed out with its vine whip at Kirlia.

"The experiment is almost over, and I now know Kirlia's current strength. Thanks. But, your Bulbasaur is useless now—Psychic."

Through continuous testing, Ye Feng gained a general understanding of Kirlia's current strength and decided not to waste any more time.

As for telekinesis, now that we have strong mental power, we no longer need to use that mutually destructive move. However, it's not completely useless; we can use it to escape when someone gets close in the future.

When Kirlia evolved, its psychic power exploded, allowing it to learn Psychic, a powerful offensive move of the Psychic type, which greatly enhanced its offensive capabilities, which were its biggest weakness.

Ye Feng's Gardevoir cannon project has already acquired its first cannon.

Kirlia stretched out her arms, unleashing a powerful burst of psychic energy that fiercely pressed down on Bulbasaur.

The psychic power pushed the vine whip away and struck Bulbasaur. Bulbasaur screamed and was pushed away, crashing heavily into the wall.

"What amazing Psychic! It actually knocked Bulbasaur off the field! That power is incredible!" Wu Jiang shouted again.

Bulbasaur was pressed against the wall for quite a while before the residual power of the Psychic attack dissipated. Then, with its eyes rolling, Bulbasaur fell to the ground.

"Bulbasaur is unable to battle, therefore, the final winner is Ye Feng!"

With the referee's announcement, the first Little Phoenix King Cup Rookie Trainer Showdown finally came to a close.

The champion was Ye Feng, who stood in the center of the venue, waving and smiling at everyone.

Chapter 35 The Second Keystone

After the champion is decided, the afternoon will be the match between Yang Han and Lin Jiajia for the runner-up, and the loser will then face Ning Xian to determine the third-place winner.

The final result came out quickly.

Champion: Ye Feng; Runner-up: Yang Han; Third Place: Lin Jiajia.

Next up is the award ceremony and interviews.

Ye Feng received a total of four prizes.

The first thing, which was of no practical use to Ye Feng, was the 15 yuan bonus.

This amount of money wasn't even a fraction of what he had in his bank account. After Ye Feng became a trainer, his father sent him another bank card, saying it was a supplementary card to his salary card with no spending limit, so he could use it as he pleased and didn't need to worry about money.

However, he will also check regularly, and if the card is used to buy anything improper, he will take it back.

Ye Feng was immediately shocked. A card with no spending limit? Is research this lucrative in this world? What exactly do his parents research? Could they be researching ****?

The second item was a trophy, well, it was crystal, which was a bit stingy; Ye Feng had thought it would be a solid gold trophy.

The third item is a free redemption qualification for a beginner trainer level, which allows you to choose any item from the association's resource library.

The fourth item, and his biggest goal for this trip, was an elf egg covered in red patterns.

Yang Han and Lin Jiajia only received the first three prizes; the Elf Egg belonged only to the champion.

···

After the interview and acceptance speech, the Xiaofengwang Cup came to a perfect end.

After a long day, Ye Feng returned home, put the elf egg into the incubation container, added the newly bought premium nutrient solution, and then collapsed onto the bed, burying his face in the pillow and letting out a long sigh.

so tired!

Kirlia went off to find the Power Cube to eat.

After the start of the school year, Ning Xian moved back to her own home, and Ye Feng returned to living alone.

He took out his phone and told his parents about winning the championship, but didn't receive a reply. He checked the time; they should be working at this hour, right? Ye Feng didn't think much of it; they'd reply eventually anyway.

Then there were a bunch of unread messages, all from classmates asking questions and congratulating me.

The class group chat exploded with activity.

Although the Little Phoenix Cup wasn't very well-known since it was its first edition, Ye Feng won the championship!

Champion! No matter what kind of championship it is, it always makes people feel very prestigious.

Ye Feng quickly glanced at the contents and smiled happily. These classmates were quite friendly, and there were no boring scenes like those in novels. Even Zhang Qiang, who had previously disliked him, had gotten along well with him after Charmander was brutally defeated by Ralts (crossed out). Their relationship was now quite good.

Speaking of Zhang Qiang, he's been particularly keen on training Charmander lately, probably because he's a little envious after seeing Kirlia evolve.

After replying to a few messages that tagged him, I tossed my phone aside.

There are too many messages to reply to.

"What kind of items can I get with the exchange privileges for a beginner trainer level?" Ye Feng muttered to himself, a little excited, as he turned on his computer and logged into the association's resource database website.

The association has temporarily opened a channel for him to become a beginner trainer. This channel will be closed once he has used up this exchange.

Ye Feng planned to take this opportunity to see what was inside.

The association's resource website is basically only open to trainers at the beginner level and above. New trainers can log in, but they can see very little and can only exchange a few items. Most of the items can be bought directly on the market, the only difference being the quality.

Novice trainers can already browse most of the items in the resource library; the only question is whether they have the permission to redeem them.

Ye Feng first browsed the resources in the beginner trainer section. Apart from some special Pokémon food (exclusive recipes for breeders), there were some items.

Things like Miracle Seed, which increases the power of Grass-type moves; Black Glasses, which increases the power of Dark-type moves; Magnet, which increases the power of Electric-type moves...

These are all common items found in games, of very ordinary quality, and their power enhancement is merely icing on the cake.

Ye Feng didn't rush to switch; he immediately went to the intermediate trainer section.

The resources here are much more plentiful, and their quality is also much higher.

Sharp fangs, poisonous orbs, and the like.

Ye Feng even saw evolution stones, but the price was 1, 2, 3, 4... wow, so many zeros! He couldn't afford it. No wonder Ning Xian hadn't let Eevee evolve yet; even Ye Feng would have to consider it at this price.

Next, Ye Feng saw a pleasant surprise.

【Golden Crown】A spirit item. When equipped, the spirit's attacks will have a stun effect.

This is?! A King's Certificate!

Ye Feng stood up excitedly. Looking at the description, no one had realized that this was an evolution item yet? Wasn't there a bargain to be found? And judging from the price, it wasn't expensive, just the price of a high-quality item.

Should we switch to this one? But I don't have enough permissions. It's only intermediate level, though. I can ask Ning Xian's mother to help me get in through some back channels. It shouldn't be a big problem.

Wait a minute, Ye Feng suddenly realized that this world didn't yet have the technology for communication. Slowking's evolution required Slowpoke to communicate with a King's Token; the King's Token alone wasn't enough. However, there were a few Slowkings in the wild. He wondered how they evolved—perhaps through some other special means?

Furthermore, Slowking's role conflicts somewhat with Ye Feng's future plans, especially given that he will have Gardevoir.

Pity.

Ye Feng shook his head, gave up on the King's Token, and continued browsing.

But then, the items he saw in the advanced section made Ye Feng jump up.

The website's image clearly shows a gemstone with a halo of various colors, including pink, blue, green, and yellow. In the center of the gemstone, there is a black, leaf-shaped pattern.

"This is... a keystone! I couldn't see it before because I didn't have enough permissions."

Ye Feng felt his heart skip a beat.
