A spirit descends, Gardevoir is my childhood friend?

These people are here to watch today's college league preliminary round.

Moreover, it was quite amazing that Lin Xiaolin and his four classmates defeated the seniors at the first-year high school level last year, and this year there are even more people.

Lin Xiaolin stretched and got up to wash up.

After washing up, the five of them headed to the battlefield together, wanting to see how their juniors were performing.

However, they didn't try to squeeze in; they waited until most of the audience had gone in before the five of them went in.

As soon as I entered the players' area, I saw a few people looking nervous. Tang Tian and the other members of the school team were already in the lounge.

"Good morning, Teacher Tang." Lin Xiaolin greeted Tang Tian with a smile and sat down in the chair next to him.

Good morning! How's training going these past few days?

"Yes, I'll definitely make it to the top 32." Lin Xiaolin patted his chest confidently.

"Top 32? If you don't make it to the top 16, I'll crush you."

"Hahaha." Everyone immediately became lively again, except for the three special admission students from the first year of high school and Wanqiao and a few others who were a little nervous.

Unfortunately, this was Wanqiao and the others' first time participating in a formal competition.

Lin Xiaolin smiled, looking exactly like they did back then!

After a while, a presenter riding on a Magneton flew up.

"Ladies and gentlemen, students, aunts and uncles, welcome to the annual college league preliminary round! I am your host, Wang Xin, and it is an honor to host this competition."

As soon as the host's voice rang out, cheers erupted from the surrounding crowd, and the host bowed deeply to the audience.

"Please welcome our guests to take their seats: Qi Shi, Mo Yue, and Yu Tianxiao, the principals of Xingcheng No. 1 High School, No. 2 High School, and No. 3 High School!"

Suddenly, the three principals descended directly from the sky and sat down in their respective seats.

The host was still the same host, and the polite words were still the same, except that there were no special guests this time, since Lin Xiaolin wasn't going to be on stage.

Lin's parents only need to stay at home and wait for the live broadcast of the official college league matches.

The three special admission students from the first year of high school had already walked downstairs. Yan Fan also gave Lin Xiaolin a resentful look and followed behind. Lin Xiaolin touched his nose and looked guilty, but the upturned corners of his mouth betrayed him.

First, there was a match between No. 2 High and No. 3 High, but to be honest, Lin Xiaolin felt that watching their match was like watching children fight, with no interesting points at all.

The current No. 2 High School is not even as strong as the previous one. At least the previous one had Gu Xiaodong. Although that kid was quite sassy, ​​to be honest, he was a good person and his training of Pokémon was not bad either.

The match went on until noon, and in the end, No. 2 High School narrowly won. Lin Xiaolin was getting sleepier and sleepier as he watched! No wonder his classmates and others could beat them in the first year of high school. These people were really bad.

Lin Xiaolin even thought that Wan Qiao alone could easily defeat them, but unfortunately it wasn't a ring match.

But thinking of Yan Fan's expression below, Lin Xiaolin couldn't help but laugh out loud.

"Still bored~" At noon, everyone sat together eating boxed lunches and chatting.

"Yes, but the thought of Yan Fan being down there makes me quite happy."

"Hahaha~"

"Ha ha!"

Everyone burst out laughing when they heard Lin Xiaolin's words. Lin Xiaolin is really wicked!

Sigrún has taught at the Iceland University of the Arts as a part-time lecturer since and was Dean of the Department of Fine Art from -. In – she held a research position at Reykjavík Art Museum focusing on the role of women in Icelandic art. She studied fine art at the Icelandic College of Arts and Crafts and at Pratt Institute, New York, and holds BA and MA degrees in art history and philosophy from the University of Iceland. Sigrún lives and works in Iceland.

Here's the third update. Do you guys think my writing about the college league preliminaries was too rushed? Mainly, I felt that it was a bit of filler to include a competition with no main characters and just have weak players fighting each other.

I'll focus on writing about the later college league matches later. Oh yeah, the climax of the second chapter is coming soon, hehehe~

Also, the author has been having a bit of trouble updating three chapters a day lately (mainly because I get up at 2 AM, eat breakfast, and it's already past 3 PM). Then I have to write three chapters in four hours, which is a bit rushed. I usually finish writing around 7 PM. Before, I would check the text twice before posting, but now I can only check it once. If there are any typos, please let me know and I will correct them immediately.

thank you all

Chapter 148 College League Preliminaries (Part 2)

In the afternoon, it was the match between No. 1 High School and No. 2 High School. After Lin Xiaolin and the others finished their boxed lunches, they sat on chairs and waited. Before long, the host took off on the self-destructing Magneton.

"Ladies and gentlemen, the final match of the preliminary round of the college league that you have been most looking forward to is about to begin. Will No. 1 High School retain its throne or No. 2 High School take the victory? Let's wait and see. Please welcome the players from both sides to the field!"

At this moment, everyone except Yan Fan at the contestant entrance was nervous and somewhat uneasy.

Upon hearing the host's voice, they stepped out. As the students from No. 1 High School walked out of the contestant passage, a sudden roar of cheers erupted throughout the venue.

"One tall! One tall! One tall!" The six people walking at the front were suddenly startled and stopped in their tracks.

"Keep walking, chest out and head held high, this is an honor for No. 1 High School." Yan Fan's voice came from behind, just like that of senior Wang Can back then.

Everyone took a deep breath and strode forward.

The audience in the stands chanted "No. 1 High School" in unison, and at this moment they had entered No. 1 High School's home field.

Once the two players reached the battlefield, they extended their hands to each other and shook hands in a friendly manner.

After shaking hands, both parties retreated to the lounges on either side.

"Both sides are requested to submit their match schedules."

At this moment, the blonde girl was holding a form in her hand and looking worried. Finally, she gritted her teeth and walked up to Yan Fan.

"Senior, could you help me sort them?" The girl seemed to have used up all her courage to ask this question, looking at Yan Fan nervously.

Yan Fan simply shook his head. "You can arrange them however you like. Just fill in the rest of the list. Remember to write my name in the team competition. You can do whatever you want with the rest."

The blonde girl walked back to her seat somewhat dejectedly, and after thinking for a while, she finally filled in the list.

After the list was submitted, the host raised the microphone again.

"Now that both sides have handed over their respective order of appearance, our final battle of the day is about to begin. The first singles match will be between xxx, a student from Class 0, Grade 12 of Xingcheng No. 2 High School, and Xiao Qulin, a student from Class 0, Grade 1 of Xingcheng No. 1 High School!"

Both teams' contestants walked onto the stage, with the shy boy from No. 1 High School being the first to step forward.

After the referee announced the start of the match, both players released their Pokémon simultaneously.

Xiao Qulin's spirit is a flying scyther, while its opponent is a starfish.

Lin Xiaolin even sat up when he saw the Scyther. This Pokémon is not commonly seen. Let's see how strong it is.

"Scyther, use Quick Attack!"

"Gemstone Starfish, spin at high speed!"

Both sides issued commands simultaneously, and Scyther transformed into a blur as it headed towards Starmie. However, just as it approached Starmie, Starmie suddenly began to spin.

It directly repelled the approaching Scyther, and not only that, it spun around and headed straight for the Scyther.

At this moment, Xiao Qulin became somewhat anxious and quickly commanded, "Wing attack!"

Scyther raised its wings and slashed through the air, but the air blade only briefly stopped Starmie's advance. Starmie then broke through the defenses and struck Scyther squarely in the chest.

"Sigh~" Lin Xiaolin shook his head. He was not as strong as his opponent, and even his command was not as good. The outcome of the battle was already decided.

As expected, Scyther was defeated in just a couple of moves.

"Scyther is unable to fight, Second High wins!"

Xiao Qulin recalled his Scyther with some disappointment, and even the audience in the arena started talking.

Audience member A: "This batch of first-year students from No. 1 High School is no good! Last year's batch easily defeated No. 2 High School!"

Audience member B: "Yeah, what a pity."

Some of the whispers from the audience reached the ears of the three first-year high school students, and they felt somewhat dejected.

"The first match was a very exciting one! What will the next match be like? Please welcome xxx, a senior student from Xingcheng No. 2 High School, and Wanqiao, a junior student from Xingcheng No. 1 High School!"

Upon hearing that the student was a high school sophomore, the audience's interest was immediately piqued.

Wanqiao walked nervously toward the stage.

Only when he stood on the stage did he take a deep breath, look intently at his opponent, and recall the words Lin Xiaolin had said.

This is what Lin Xiaolin taught them: no matter how strong the opponent is, you must have a calm mind and a completely clear head. Besides, these people from No. 2 High School are just small fry.

If you can't even handle the weaklings, how can you go to the college league with Lin Xiaolin and the others?

As he thought about it, his eyes lost all fear, replaced only by a serious expression.

"The match begins!" After the referee announced the start of the match, both players simultaneously threw out their Poké Balls.

The long-tailed fire fox and the rainwing moth appeared simultaneously on the battlefield.

"Rainwing Moth! Use takeoff and paralysis powder!"

The opponent attacked first, and the rainwing moth spread its wings, creating gusts of wind that carried some powdery substances.

"Long-tailed Fire Fox, use Illusion Beam!" The Long-tailed Fire Fox raised the small wooden stick in its hand, a flash of blue light appeared in its eyes, and a burst of spiritual energy shot towards the Rainwing Moth.

The ray of light pierced through the gale without hesitation and struck the rainwing moth directly.

The Rainwinged Moth cried out in pain, but the opposing trainer was still completely unaware and in a daze.

The rainwing moth was slowly falling downwards.

"Rainwing Moth! Fly away!"

The opposing trainer finally reacted and shouted, but unexpectedly, the Rainwing Moth did not take off and fell directly to the ground.
