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

The two chatted for a few more minutes before returning to their respective teams to prepare for the next match.

The results of the third round of matches came out quickly.

Beijing University, Shanghai University, Peng University, and S University have all successfully advanced, along with Hua University which received a bye. Of the 34 teams in this year's competition, only the final 5 remain.

After a day of rest, the lottery was held again, and this time, the University of Magic University was left out.

It seems like they're taking turns? Only Pengda hasn't gotten a bye yet.

However, there was no chance. The three teams in the semifinals will no longer be drawn by lot, but will play a round-robin tournament, and will be ranked according to their scores.

In this round, Imperial University will face off against Huada University, while Pengda University will compete with S University for a spot in the next round.

"Hua Da, finally a worthy opponent!" In the preparation area, Hao Zi rubbed his hands together, full of fighting spirit, ready to go on stage.

"What's the rush? The individual battles will start first." Ye Feng slapped Haozi back into his seat.

"Huh? Oh, it seems so." Haozi nodded blankly, while everyone else burst into laughter.

"Alright," Ye Feng said seriously, "This should be the strongest opponent since the start of the competition, but no matter if it's Huada, Pengda or Moda, none of them can stop us from winning the championship!"

"Don't worry, Captain!"

"That's right, it's just a mere flower, I can wipe it out in the blink of an eye!" As he spoke, he even pointed his fingers together like a gun and pretended to blow on it, which made everyone laugh.

The competition began in a relatively relaxed atmosphere.

The first player to take the field was, as always, that second-year reserve player.

"Don't feel pressured, just play to your true level." Ye Feng patted him on the shoulder.

"Yes, Captain!" The team member nodded vigorously.

By this point in the competition, he had already experienced several matches. Regardless of how much practical experience he had gained, his mentality had already improved considerably.

Just like now, even though he knew that the opponent was likely stronger than him, he showed no fear and walked onto the field with his head held high.

The result of the match was not too disappointing, ending in a 3-3 draw.

To be precise, it used its own three Pokémon to defeat the opponent's two, but then lost to the third Pokémon due to insufficient stamina.

For a second-year student, this performance is already quite good.

Huada took the lead with 1 point.

Then in the second game, Imperial University won another match.

In the third match, it was Ye Feng's turn to take the stage.

Upon seeing the person coming from the other side, Ye Feng was slightly taken aback. That person looked like the captain of Hua Da.

What's going on? According to information from previous matches, Hua Da's captain was supposed to play in team battles, right? Why is he playing in an individual match?

The captain of the flower-themed group is a mature woman with big, wavy hair.

"Captain Ye, I've finally met you in person! You're just as handsome as the rumors say!" Su He said with a smile as soon as she entered the stage, standing with one hand on her hip. Her tall and slender figure made Ye Feng, who likes petite girls, take a second look.

However, Ye Feng didn't look at her and politely replied, "Thank you, Captain Su is also very charming."

Su He was somewhat surprised. She was quite confident in her charm, yet Ye Feng didn't react at all.

Ye Feng thought to himself, "This competition is being recorded. If Xiao Xian sees me chatting and laughing with another woman on the battlefield, she'll probably headbutt me."

You can imagine how painful that must be, right?

"However, I'm curious, wasn't Captain Su supposed to be in the team battle? How did he end up in the individual battle?" Ye Feng asked.

"Of course it's for you," Su He said with a smile.

Ye Feng did not respond.

"Tch, boring." Su He waved her hand, then put on a serious expression. "Captain Ye, you haven't shown any strength since the competition started. I'm really curious, just how strong are you to become the captain of the school team in your second year?"

"Hehe, just lucky." Ye Feng laughed—was he trying to test my strength before the arena battle?

However, the price was a bit too high, or rather, a bit reckless. The captain personally went into battle. I wonder if your Pokémon will still have the stamina to continue fighting in the arena after this battle?

I have plenty of options.

"Whether it's luck or not, we'll find out soon enough." Su He instantly got into the zone, exuding a chilling aura.

Ye Feng's expression turned serious.

As expected of the captain of the Huada University team, one of the top four universities, his aura is something that other schools don't have.

Chapter 438, Match 1: Aggron vs. Steelix

At the referee's whistle, Ye Feng and Su He simultaneously sent out their first Pokémon.

"Go, Aggron!"

"Go, Steelix!"

"Roar!!"

Aggron, who hadn't appeared for a long time, landed with a deafening roar, accompanied by the tremors of the ground.

The Steelix on the other side was equally formidable, responding with a roar of its own.

"Game start!"

"Sacrifice yourself and charge!"

"Sacrifice yourself and charge!"

The two gave the order simultaneously.

Both being enormous and incredibly heavy Pokémon, their collision was awe-inspiring, causing the entire arena to tremble violently.

Ye Feng's Bosscodora grew exceptionally well due to ample nutrition during its infancy. Not only was it much larger than a regular Bosscodora, but its weight was also comparable to that of a Bosscodora with heavy metal properties.

But the characteristics of the Bosscodora go beyond just its size and weight...

With a painful thud, the two elves collided violently after unleashing their full power, producing a tremendous crash.

"How could this be?!" Su He stared wide-eyed in shock.

The two elves' heads collided violently, and the immense recoil caused them to tilt backward simultaneously.

Thanks to its stubbornness, Aggron was the first to regain its posture, straightening its body and then poking its head against Steelix's waist.

Steelix seemed to be momentarily stunned by the collision, failing to retaliate in time and being forced to retreat repeatedly by Aggron's impact.

Is he still a little short of the advanced ceiling? Ye Feng roughly judged the opponent's strength.

In that case, Bosscodora has no reason to lose.

However... bumping heads with my Boss Dora would really be a mistake. Ye Feng smugly touched his nose.

Soho unknowingly caused Steelix to suffer a hidden loss, but who would have thought that an Aggron's head would be so hard?

You should know that Ye Feng started training his head to be as tough as he was when he was playing Coco Dora!

"Interesting." Su He licked her lips and immediately ordered, "Earthquake!"

Steelix raised its tail and slammed it into the ground. Immediately afterward, a shockwave, almost visible to the naked eye, spread out and headed towards Aggron.

At the same time, Ye Feng issued the order: "Earthquake!"

Aggron is a Rock/Steel type Pokémon, and it takes four times the damage from Ground-type moves.

However, moves like Earthquake are hard to defend against. If Protect is used, Steelix can continue using Earthquake without restraint. Faced with continuous attacks, even Protect will eventually fail.

You can't expect a nearly one-ton Bossdog to jump up and dodge, can you? That would be too much of a burden for the Pokémon, since it can't fly!

Since we can't defend against it, we can just use the same move to fight back.

While earthquakes are difficult to detect, the same earthquake does not present this problem; the only difference is the magnitude of its power.

The two earthquakes almost canceled each other out, just as Ye Feng had predicted. However, due to Steelix's own type advantage, the earthquake it unleashed was more powerful, and some of the aftershocks still hit Aggron.

However, the remaining damage is not enough to affect Aggron's powerful defense.

Seeing that Su He was about to use the same trick again, Ye Feng quickly ordered: "Attack with sharp stones!"

Aggron raised its hands, and several sharp rocks immediately appeared on the top of Steelix's head, stabbing fiercely towards its head.

Suho, of course, couldn't just stand by and watch Steelix get beaten up, so she immediately ordered, "Iron Tail!"

The giant steel snake's sword-like tail gleamed with a metallic sheen as it lashed out at the falling sharp rocks.

Ye Feng wasn't going to stand idly by while Steelix was playing around cutting rocks. Under his command, Aggron launched a charge attack towards Steelix.

Meanwhile, Steelix was busy dealing with Rock Spikes and had no time to retaliate or defend itself. Aggron headbutted it in the lower back, causing it to let out a painful roar.

"Giant Steel Serpent!" Soho shouted anxiously, "Entangle it!"

Steelix gritted its teeth, enduring the pain as it quickly lunged at Aggron. Aggron swung its fist to try and block, but Steelix, like an eel, twisted and dodged the attack before tightly binding Aggron.

"Don't let go, use the crushing technique!" Suhe shouted the order.

The giant steel snake opened its huge mouth, its teeth gleaming black, and bit down on Aggron's head.

At the same time, Ye Feng's order arrived: "A piercing sound!"

Although Bosscodora was restrained, its mouth could still move. It immediately opened its mouth and made an indescribable noise.
