A spirit descends, Gardevoir is my childhood friend?

The match was about to begin. Unlike Fengdu or Jiangcheng, neither school was particularly aggressive. Instead, their captains took the field immediately, and the match was a head-to-head clash.

The two sides are a Masana and a Swamp King.

A battle was about to break out, but it was clear that both sides were testing each other.

Swamp King continued to attack Masana with mud bombs and water guns.

Massana also used telekinesis for defense.

Finally, taking advantage of an opening, Manasha launched a close-range attack, and Swamp King immediately used Mud Play.

A large amount of mud rushed out from all around, used to obstruct the view. Swamp King quickly dodged to the other side, but Manasha disappeared in the next instant.

That was just a feint!

Manasha appeared directly in front of Swamp King and struck Swamp King in the stomach with a powerful blow.

Although Swamp King's physical defense is quite high, it still let out a cry of pain.

The rest of the match was a foregone conclusion; Swamp King, now close in on Manasha, had no chance to retaliate.

The Quagsire's trainer understood and simply forfeited.

Score 1:0

In the second round, Liancheng sent out an Iron Claw Lobster, while Qianxincheng sent out an elf that Lin Xiaolin knew all too well: Sunshine Rainbow Little White Horse.

The two elves stared at each other with fighting spirit in their eyes, but at that moment a sudden voice came from Lin Xiaolin's side.

"The little horse is so cute!"

Qin Lele stared at the Galar pony with eyes practically shining.

"Xiao Lin, I remember your family prepared a little horse for you, didn't they?"

"Oh, that? But I've already subdued the Azure Flame Blade Demon, so I gave it to my sister. It should be hatching soon."

"Ah! That's wonderful, I want a cute little elf too."

Qin Lele rested her chin on her hand and looked at the little horse on the stage with envy.

"Weren't you planning to go down the ice-based path?"

Lin Xiaolin looked up curiously and asked Qin Lele.

"Yes, but three Ice-type Pokémon are enough. We can catch other Pokémon to fill the rest. By the way, Xiao Lin, what route are you planning to take? I don't think I've ever heard you mention it before."

Lin Xiaolin remained silent. Indeed, what path should she take?

An Yang and Shi Yu specialize in combat, Yan Fan goes for the dragon style, Lele goes for the ice style, what path do you take?

Lin Xiaolin couldn't help but smile wryly, as even these three Pokémon combined couldn't form a single Pokémon with the same attribute.

When I was catching Pokémon, I was only thinking about who was stronger and who I liked, and I don't think I really considered this matter.

My grandfather once told me that when you reach the Elite Four level, you need to train with multiple familiar Pokémon to speed up the process. Reaching the Elite Four level with a single Pokémon is more than twice as slow as with multiple Pokémon.

What path can I take now?

Little Blue's main attribute is Fairy, Heartscale Treasure is Dragon, and Azure Flame Blade Ghost is Fire.

It seems I won't be able to capture Pokémon at will anymore!

Fairy, dragon, fire – you can only choose from these three.

The fairy is good; Little Blue can lead the way.

Dragons... dragons are fine too, but dragon-type Pokémon have a rather long growth period. However, Blue can teach all dragon-type Pokémon a lesson by himself, just like Jolteon.

Fire-type Pokémon are alright, but they are relatively rare. Pokémon like Volcarona are a bit hard to find, and their growth cycle is comparable to that of pseudo-legendary Pokémon.

Let's just leave it to fate. There's no rush for a fourth Pokémon now. We'll decide what to do when we encounter something else. Even if we can't get all three Pokémon, it's okay. We can always go for a two-on-three battle.

Cough cough, it feels a bit like daydreaming.

The match ended when Lin Xiaolin was pondering, with Little Fire Horse winning by a slight margin.

The victorious Ponyta happily jumped around its trainer.

"Qianxin City wins, score 2-0!"

After losing two games in a row, Liancheng was clearly under some pressure, and the captain personally took to the field for the third game.

Surprisingly, Qianxin City seemed to have anticipated this, sending only two ordinary members to the third match, and they surrendered after a few casual exchanges.

The captain of Liancheng felt a bit aggrieved, as if the other side had completely controlled everything, and he felt like he was punching cotton.

The fourth match was simply not played. When the captain of Qianxin City stood on the battlefield, Liancheng surrendered immediately and placed their hopes on the team match.

During the break, Lin Xiaolin also took out his phone to review their opponents from the afternoon.

Tang Tian sent them these materials the night before last, and they had already read through them roughly. Now, they will focus on Lingcheng.

Chapter 174 College League (20)

Lin Xiaolin couldn't hold back any longer. All the other annotations were fine, so what's the meaning of adding "Dragon Slayer" under Mariluri?

It is indeed somewhat dangerous...

Lin Xiaolin even doubted whether Xinlinbao could withstand the playful attack of Marill, who possessed the Hercules ability.

Ahem, I digress. It seems that Alcremie, Marill, and Flori will be unable to play in this match.

They should still be resting in the infirmary.

This means that only 4 of the opponent's 7 main players remain, which is excellent news for Lin Xiaolin and his group.

After all, if it were Ling Du Lin Xiaolin and his group at their peak, they might not have been able to handle it.

The battle between Qianxin City and Liancheng has ended, with Qianxin City emerging victorious. There wasn't much to see, as Qianxin City had everything under control from Liancheng's every move.

Even Lin Xiaolin couldn't help but admire the deep scheming of Captain Qianxin City. It has to be said that the Eight Great Capitals are different from ordinary schools. Lin Xiaolin felt an unprecedented sense of excitement.

The stronger the opponent, the more pressure we feel. Fighting against a strong opponent can be an exciting thing.

As the first half of the match ended, the players and spectators gradually left the venue. Some, like Lin Xiaolin and others, stayed and bought a few boxed lunches to eat together.

At this moment, Senior Qianjue and the others also came down, and the group sat together chatting and laughing.

"Xiao Lin, how did you do with the information about Ling City this afternoon?"

Tang Tian asked from the side.

"Hmm, that's about it. I just looked at it again. It is a bit tricky, but I'm still quite confident."

"It's good that you have confidence. According to the information I gathered this morning, Mariluri should have already left the infirmary. Although she is not fully recovered and still has injuries, there is no guarantee that she won't play."

Tang Tian spoke seriously, and Lin Xiaolin frowned as well.

It seems that the opposing captain is not a great threat to us. If it were Shi Anyang or Shi Yu, they would have a high chance of defeating them. However, this Marill is the most difficult to deal with.

"Even if he plays, he won't be at his peak, so he's not that difficult to deal with."

"Well, you can handle it yourselves, but whatever you do, don't confront him head-on, especially you Yan Fan and Lan Tian."

"Ok!"

After lunch, Lin Xiaolin gathered everyone together to discuss tactics.

The group gathered together and discussed for a long time before deciding on the tactical direction.

"Okay, let's leave it at that for now. I'll start, Anyang will start, Shi Yu and the senior will be in one group, and Yan Fan and Lele will be in another group."

"Good x8"
