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

As the smoke cleared, the arena, which had been ravaged by the battle, had become a large crater. Camel stood in the center, glanced in the direction of Kirlia and Arcanine, swayed, closed its eyes, and collapsed heavily.

Zhuo Fei picked up the Poké Ball and recalled Camerupt: "Thank you for your hard work."

"puff!"

Crackle burst out of the ground. Although it had managed to dodge most of the attacks by digging a hole, it was still quite affected and was panting heavily.

Ye Feng looked worriedly at Kirlia and Arcanine's positions. Faced with Explosion, a move that was a desperate attempt to destroy each other, he had no good way to defend against it.

As the last smoke cleared, the first thing you saw was Arcanine.

The Growlithe lay on the ground, curled up in a ball as if protecting something, but it had already passed out.

"Arcanine..." Ye Feng took a deep breath, picked up the Poké Ball and recalled Arcanine. "Thank you for your hard work. Get some rest."

As Arcanine was recalled, Kirlia, which it had been protecting, slowly stood up.

"Kirullian, how are you?" Ye Feng asked worriedly.

Kirlia shook her head to indicate that she was alright, and then assumed a fighting stance.

When the massive explosion struck, Arcanine knew it couldn't dodge it, so it decisively shielded Kirlia with its body, taking the brunt of the damage with its own.

With Arcanine's protection and the "Sturdy" defense, Kirlia successfully withstood the blast. Although she was injured, it did not affect the battle that followed.

Zhuo Fei and Zeng Yongfeng exchanged a glance. When they saw that Qirulian was still in good condition, they knew that they had already lost the game.

The outcome of the next battle was no surprise. Marowak was no match for Kirlia, and Kirlia was also badly beaten because of the resentment that Arcanine had shown in protecting her.

"Marowak is unable to battle, Kirlia wins. The final winner is Ye Feng!"

As soon as the referee announced the result, the stadium was instantly filled with shouts and cheers.

Members of the Imperial University Battle Club rushed onto the field, cheering as they picked up Ye Feng and tossed him into the air.

"New King!"

Someone shouted first, and then everyone else joined in.

"New King!"

"New King!"

"New King!"

Ye Feng, who was in mid-air, turned his head with difficulty and saw Ning Xian's bright smile at him;

Zhang Qiang looked displeased, but after noticing Ye Feng's gaze, he slowly nodded.

Deng Ruizhe is giving himself a thumbs up;

Guo Pengfei cheered, just like everyone else.

Chapter 113 The Assessment from Shang Yixue

Ye Feng's final 1-on-2 victory was remarkably effective.

At the very least, the freshmen who were watching, including the upperclassmen who came to join in the fun, remembered him.

Moreover, his name will soon spread among the schools participating in this exchange competition, and will also quickly spread to other schools through various channels.

There are even rumors that Ye Feng is the second Shang Yixue, and her successor as captain of the school team.

Because in the freshman exchange competition that year, Shang Yixue also won the last match 1V2, but the difference was that both of her Pokémon were on the field at the end.

However, no one cared about that. After all, when the difference in strength was not drastic, no one could withstand a move like the Big Bang that would result in mutual destruction. Ye Feng not only kept one but also won, which made him no less capable than Shang Yixue back then.

This is also thanks to the cooperation of Zhuo Fei and Zeng Yongfeng.

···

That night

It's the same restaurant outside the school, the same private room, and the same people.

"Congratulations, Ye Feng, on winning this year's Rookie of the Year title." Deng Ruizhe picked up a glass of juice. As a researcher, he had to stay sober at all times, so Deng Ruizhe never drank alcohol.

"Thank you, teacher!" Ye Feng quickly picked up his Coke, lowered the glass to clink with Deng Ruizhe's, and then drank it all in one gulp. Ye Feng was still a few months away from turning 18 and was not yet allowed to drink alcohol.

A hint of satisfaction flashed in Deng Ruizhe's eyes.

"Brother Ye Feng! First of all, congratulations! And thank you again." Zhuo Fei also brought over a Coke.

"Big brother? Thank me?" Ye Feng looked puzzled. What happened to Brother Dafei? Did the aftershocks of the explosion during the battle affect his brain?

"After the match this afternoon, several pretty female students from Imperial University asked Zhuo Fei for his contact information," Zhang Qiang said indifferently.

"Oh~~~ Brother Dafei, you're awesome!" Ye Feng said with a knowing look, clinking glasses with Zhuo Fei.

Zhuo Fei chuckled.

Zhuo Fei, who was once distressed, is now happy.

"Ye Feng." Ning Xian picked up her cup, without saying anything more.

The two looked at each other and smiled.

Ye Feng leaned down and whispered in Ning Xian's ear, "Xiao Xian, look at my dorm room..."

"roll!"

"okay!"

Guo Pengfei then offered his congratulations.

Although Zhang Qiang still had a cold expression, he still offered Ye Feng a glass of cola, saying, "Let's settle this next time."

Ha, so arrogant.

···

On the other side, in Shang Yixue's single dormitory room.

The room was dark. Shang Yixue sat at her desk, on which lay a stack of documents, with Ye Feng's two-inch photo standing out prominently.

"Hmm, the champion of the first Little Phoenix King Cup, an intern researcher, with two feature-related papers, and his admission score was also among the highest..."

"The starter Pokémon Kirlia, with its initial battle strength assessed as having reached the intermediate level, possesses extraordinary mental strength, reaction speed, and speed. It also has unreleased Fairy-type moves. During military training, it nearly one-shotted an Aggron with its unique Shadow Ball attack..."

"My second Pokémon, Arcanine, hatched from an egg awarded as a prize in the Little Phoenix Cup. It evolved after I entered the school and its strength increased rapidly..."

"The third Pokémon, Gyarados, evolved during military training, and its strength increased rapidly..."

"The fourth Pokémon is tentatively named Cocodora; the egg is currently incubating at the Imperial University's breeding center..."

Below the Pokémon's information are evaluations of its abilities in various aspects, all of which are consistently rated as excellent.

What Shang Yixue was looking at was none other than the publicly available information about Ye Feng.

With her slender, delicate fingers lightly tapping the table, Shang Yixue fell into deep thought.

This Ye Feng has trained very strong Pokémon, and judging from his command skills, he is a rational and calm person. He is also kind, has high emotional intelligence, and gets along well with those around him.

At first glance, he seems like a very talented newcomer.

but···

Looking at Ye Feng's information, Shang Yixue felt something was off; he was too outstanding, as if he were a fake.

At least from the information available, there were absolutely no shortcomings.

The only downside is that he has a childhood sweetheart girlfriend... no, Shang Yixue rubbed her temples, almost getting swayed by the junior who brought her the materials.

Shang Yixue's gaze involuntarily fell on the Pokémon's data section, noting its rapid increase in strength...

It's important to know that raising Pokémon is extremely time-consuming and requires a lot of effort; it's mostly a gradual process.

Ye Feng's strength increased dramatically after his evolution, and his progress in training was exceptionally rapid. While others walked, he ran all the way, almost as if he needed a nitro boost from behind. His strides were incredibly large, which was a bit strange.

Gyarados, which evolved less than a month ago, was able to almost sweep through the freshman exchange competition. Although naturally evolved Gyarados are generally not weak, does that mean that other people's Pokémon are necessarily that bad?

Could it be that there is some special, unique cultivation method?

Shang Yixue became interested and planned to find time to get to know this junior.

···

The next day, after seeing Ning Xian and the others off, Ye Feng had just returned to his dormitory when he was stopped by someone.

"Senior Sister Shang?" Ye Feng looked at the person in front of him with some surprise.

Shang Yixue opened her mouth and said, "Just call me by my name."

Ye Feng paused for a moment before realizing what was going on. Although he didn't mean anything by it, Shang Xuejie seemed to think something was off, so he said, "Then I'll still call you Sister Xue."

Sister Xue? Senior? Shang Yixue nodded. This Ye Feng was indeed very good at getting along with people, making people feel very comfortable.

Shang Yixue asked, "You should know why I've come to see you, right?"

Ye Feng thought for a moment and nodded, then asked with some confusion, "Didn't you say I should just go and report for duty directly?"

Shang Yixue nodded: "That's right. But before that, I still have some questions."

"What questions?"

"Let's have a match. Let's discuss all our questions during the game."
