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

What kind of exaggerated power is this? And is this how Shadow Ball is used? Just slapped directly in the face? Zhuo Fei was stunned.

After a long while, as the smoke slowly dissipated, the scene on the field was finally revealed to everyone.

The fire-breathing camel had collapsed to the ground unconscious, while Kirlia stood quietly to one side.

"Boo! Fire-Breathing Camel is incapacitated! Kirlia wins!" The referee stood there for a few seconds, then loudly announced the result.

"···"

"···"

"??"

"Great!"

"Ye Feng is too strong!"

On the Jinghai No. 1 Middle School side, they naturally cheered with joy, and Ning Xian and another girl hugged each other, jumping and skipping.

Meanwhile, Pingjiang Middle School was deathly silent.

Zhuo Fei took a deep breath, retracted the fire-breathing camel, looked somewhat dazed, shook his head vigorously, then walked up to Ye Feng and extended his hand: "You are very strong, I lost."

Ye Feng also extended his hand, and the two shook hands amicably.

"But I'm curious, how did your Pokémon withstand that attack just now? Also, why, uh, did you just throw the Shadow Ball directly at it? Isn't it usually thrown out?" Zhuo Fei asked tentatively. He knew it was impolite to ask about other moves without permission, but he was always competitive and would be very unwilling if he didn't even know how he lost.

"I can't tell you the specifics." Ye Feng shook his head, and Zhuo Fei nodded understandingly, looking at Ye Feng expectantly, knowing that Ye Feng hadn't finished speaking.

"However, I can tell you about that last move; I named it..."

"Spiral Flash Super Wheel Dance Roar II - Double Blast!"

"..." What is this? Zhuo Fei was dumbfounded. What kind of cringeworthy name is this?

Seeing Zhuo Fei standing there speechless, Ye Feng clicked his tongue and tsk, "Tsk, it's so awkward that no one is picking up on the joke!"

Chapter 52 Here's a gem for you, rearrange your words.

Unfortunately, Zhuo Fei didn't get Ye Feng's joke.

Frowning, he muttered the cringeworthy name of the move as he walked off the stage. He'd never heard of such a move before. And if he wasn't mistaken, that was a Shadow Ball combined with Instant Transmission. At such close range, hitting the Fire-Breathing Camel in its most vulnerable spot—its face—it wasn't unreasonable for it to be defeated in one blow.

But this name is just... so damn bad!

Ye Feng, of course, had no idea what Zhuo Fei was thinking at the moment. He stood on the field with a relaxed expression, waiting for his next opponent. Once he had dealt with Zhuo Fei, he could just deal with the rest of them casually.

"You did a great job, Kirlia. I'll take you on a yacht trip when we get back." After praising Kirlia, Ye Feng began to think about the Flying Thunder God Technique II he had just used in his first real battle.

Instant teleportation combined with Shadow Ball's close-range attacks allows for easy attacks on the opponent's weak points using the unpredictable nature of Instant teleportation. Generally, an explosion at this distance would cause damage to Kirlia, but Ye Feng improved the use of "Steady," allowing it to adhere to the body's surface for defense, just like in the original version.

In this way, the recoil damage from a close-range explosion becomes very minor.

only···

This was Ye Feng's original idea, but when he used it in actual combat, he found that it wasn't as wonderful as he had imagined.

Shadow Ball + Teleport + Steady is a combo that involves three moves. Kirlia can only use two moves at a time, and those must be moves like Shadow Ball + Teleport that don't interfere with each other too much.

If we add a "firm" (or "firm"), then Kirlia will not only be able to multitask, but even multitask 2.5 times. Why do we say it's not yet at the point of multitasking? After all, Shadow Ball is currently only in its normal form, so it doesn't require much attention to control, thus occupying much less mental energy.

In fact, given Kirlia's reflexes, she would have had enough time to use "Steel" the instant the Shadow Ball exploded, though the strength might not have been as high.

As for why Ye Feng was not satisfied with this result, it was because in his plan, Kirlia would need to use "Steel" throughout the entire process. Close combat was not its forte. If it encountered an equally matched opponent and was able to counterattack when Kirlia got close, then it would need "Steel" for defense.

Although such situations are rare, it's never a bad thing to be prepared; it's too late to think about it once it happens.

As for why the shadow ball wasn't thrown out but instead slammed directly into the face, it's naturally due to the principle of energy conservation—the shadow ball also consumes some energy during flight, so slamming it directly into the face would definitely deal the most damage.

It's not because of reasons like "if you throw it out, it won't be the second stage of Flying Thunder God Technique".

Back in his seat, Zhuo Fei stopped thinking and said to another student, "Jane, you're up against him. His opponent, Kirlia, has been hit by several attacks from Camel Flame and is in the center of the explosion. He should be seriously injured and his stamina is almost depleted. If you're careful, defeating him shouldn't be a problem."

"Yes, boss," Jenny replied, then walked onto the field.

"Hello, my name is Jane, and I'll be your opponent in this match." Since his boss was so polite to Ye Feng and had even been defeated, Jane didn't dare to be presumptuous and greeted him very politely.

"Hello, my name is Ye Feng." What's wrong with these people from Pingjiang No. 1 Middle School? Weren't they very arrogant at first? Why are they so polite now? Ye Feng was a little confused. Did defeating Zhuo Fei make them submit?

"Go, Wartortle!" Janne sent out his Pokémon, Wartortle.

Good heavens, Ye Feng narrowed his eyes slightly. Could it be that all the spirits of these people from Pingjiang No. 1 High School have undergone an evolution? No wonder they were able to take half of the top sixteen spots. Their strength is much stronger than our school's.

"Warrior, water..."

"Strong mental thoughts!"

"boom!"

As soon as Kamui opened its mouth, it was blasted out of the arena by an incredibly powerful psychic force, spinning all the way before crashing into the stadium wall.

"···"

"···"

"??"

There was silence.

The other contestants on the sidelines couldn't help but look at Zhuo Fei. Is this what you meant by being seriously injured and exhausted? Zhuo Fei's face twitched slightly: "I didn't expect my opponent to deliberately show weakness. I was careless."

"..." You're the boss, what you say goes. Although they knew Zhuo Fei's judgment was wrong, they didn't dare to say anything more.

Who am I? Where am I? What am I doing? Even after returning to his seat, Gianne was still in a daze.

He didn't understand. Didn't the boss say that the opponent's Pokémon was seriously injured? How could it still use such a powerful move to instantly kill his Wartortle?

"Amin, you go." Zhuo Fei fell silent this time, and the teacher from Pingjiang No. 1 Middle School had no choice but to grit his teeth and speak. He could tell that after Zhuo Fei's defeat, there was probably no one left who could deal with that Kirlia.

The results of this exchange match are in.

“Okay…” Amin’s scalp tingled. Seeing Kirulian lose three opponents in a row, he really didn’t dare to fight Ye Feng. But now that his teacher had spoken, he had no choice but to bite the bullet and go for it.

When Amin went on stage, Principal Bai secretly called Principal Dong to the gymnasium corridor.

Principal Dong looked at Principal Bai with a smile.

"Old Dong, if this continues, we can't continue today's exchange." Principal Bai wiped the sweat from his forehead. He didn't expect Zhuo Fei to be defeated, and the victorious Kirulian seemed to have plenty of energy. "The so-called exchange is all about friendship first and competition second."

"This Ye Feng's strength has completely surpassed the level of a rookie trainer. Continuing to exchange battles like this is completely meaningless."

"Oh? Why can't we continue? I think Kirlia is also seriously injured and her strength is almost exhausted. Maybe if we try harder, we can defeat it?" Principal Dong said with a smile.

"Is this what you mean by being seriously injured and running out of energy?" Principal Bai pointed at Kirlia, who had just defeated Armin's Pokémon, and his hands trembled with anger.

This is already their fifth player, leaving them with only three. Meanwhile, it's uncertain how many more matches Ye Feng can fight. What if they were defeated by Ye Feng alone? Wouldn't that be incredibly embarrassing? Besides, even excluding Ye Feng, there are still five players on the other side. If they defeat Ye Feng, the remaining five can take turns defeating them, right?

“I said, the purpose of the exchange competition is to motivate and spur on the students, and I think it has achieved its goal. They will definitely work harder in their studies from now on. So, I think we should leave it at that?” Principal Bai said in a low voice.

"I'll call a timeout later and let Ye Feng, who's played four games in a row, rest. You can talk to him and ask him to leave the game, okay?"

"Otherwise, if I lose too badly, the board of directors will definitely complain to me, and I just want some peace and quiet. So what if I lose this time?"

"You're admitting defeat? Hahaha," Principal Dong laughed gleefully. "But I think Ye Feng still has the strength to fight again. I'm afraid he won't agree."

"A gemstone containing super energy."

“Hmm…” Principal Dong looked thoughtful.

"Damn it, don't be too greedy. I gave you the highest quality one." Principal Bai said through gritted teeth. This time, he had really lost everything.

With a satisfied smile on his face, Principal Dong walked towards the field and called out loudly, "Wait a moment, students. Ye Feng has played four games in a row and is a little tired. How about we take a break during the break?"

At this point, Pingjiang No.1 Middle School has only three people left, while Jinghai No.1 Middle School has five people left, excluding Ye Feng. It's clear which side will win and which side will lose.

After four consecutive losses, the people from Pingjiang No. 1 Middle School didn't look too good.

Ye Feng was called back.

"How much stamina does Kirlia have left?" Principal Dong asked, touching the Psychic Gem he had just received in his pocket.

"Hmm...it's alright, anyway, taking down the remaining three shouldn't be a problem," Ye Feng said after thinking for a moment.

"Hmm? Think about it again. I'll give you a chance to rephrase your words." Principal Dong leaned closer to Ye Feng and, when no one was looking, slipped the gem into Ye Feng's pocket.

"Hmm?" Ye Feng raised an eyebrow. What is this? Round, smooth, and cool. Could it be a Mega Stone? Ever since he saw the second Key Stone, Ye Feng has been very sensitive to round gems and dreams of getting Gardevoir's Mega Stone every night.

At this moment, Kirullian excitedly told him that this was a gem containing a large amount of super energy, and that absorbing it would greatly increase his mental strength.

"I'm sorry, I was dreaming." Ye Feng reflected for a second.

Good heavens, no wonder Principal Bai looked so distressed. Gems containing pure elemental energy like this are incredibly expensive, and finding one that suits your Pokémon's element is no easy feat. The energy within can be directly absorbed by your Pokémon, making it even more advanced than an Energy Cube and extremely precious. And judging from Kirlia's expression, this is a gem of considerable quality.

"Oh! Oh! After four consecutive matches, Kirlia's stamina is almost gone. To be honest, I'm not very confident about the next match." Ye Feng realized this and quickly put on a serious expression.

"Could you act any more fake?" Principal Dong's lips twitched. Never mind.

“The people you fought before were the top four in the Pingjiang City Rookie Cup, and they were already the strongest among them. Since Kirlia is out of stamina, you shouldn't play in the next match. Don't push yourself too hard.”

"After all, it's an exchange competition. Let's give other people a chance to play, otherwise they'll have come for nothing," Principal Dong said, patting Ye Feng on the shoulder.

"Okay." Since he had accepted the gift, Ye Feng readily agreed.
