A spirit descends, Gardevoir is my childhood friend?

Lin Xiaolin browsed the shop but didn't buy anything. He decided to wait until the competition ended and then go to the research materials warehouse in Longdu to see if there were any good items. He still needed to upgrade his researcher level.

The next day, everyone arrived at the rest room early. Today was the day Lan Rou and her friends would fight against Long Du, and there was no room for error.

Today's match was completely different from yesterday's; yesterday's match was nothing compared to today's.

At nine o'clock, the competition officially began, and Lan Rou led everyone toward the battlefield.

"Xiao Rou, take Xiao Lin with you." Tang Tian called out to Lan Rou as she was about to leave.

Lan Rou turned around and looked at him blankly, then instantly understood what Tang Tian meant.

"What am I supposed to do?" Lin Xiaolin asked, scratching his head in confusion.

"Go and observe their battle from a first-person perspective." Tang Tian casually waved his hand, signaling the others to hurry up.

Lin Xiaolin had no choice but to follow Lan Rou and the others.

It was the same battlefield as yesterday, and when everyone approached, the referee was already waiting in the middle of the battlefield.

Lin Xiaolin did not go on the field with Lan Rou and the others, but went directly to the rest area prepared for the players on the side of the field and sat down.

After a while, the students from Longdu arrived, and the players from both sides came on stage to shake hands and introduce themselves at the referee's signal.

However, Lin Xiaolin could see the perfunctory attitude of the Longdu students even from the sidelines.

It seems they only used this match as a stepping stone; they came here for a higher ranking, and the preliminary rounds were just a formality. They already thought they had it all figured out.

After the handshake and introductions were completed, both teams returned to the rest area to discuss tactics.

"If I'm not mistaken, the other side doesn't care about us at all, so they'll only be thinking about how to push through quickly. They'll definitely put up whoever is the strongest and try to finish us off in the first four games without wasting time. The captain will most likely be the one to play in the first game."

Lan Rou sat among the crowd, calmly analyzing the situation.

“I’ll go for the first round,” a senior student said earnestly.

"Which move are you going to use?" Lan Rou frowned slightly as she looked at the senior student named Tang Mengshan.

The senior smiled slightly and looked at Lan Rou seriously, "Anyway, I'm not much of a use in the team competition. It's not a loss for me to drag one of the captains of Longdu down with me, right? If it succeeds, I can brag about it for a long time."

Tang Mengshan spoke with a smile on his face, seemingly unconcerned.

After a moment of contemplation, Lan Rou finally nodded.

After submitting the order of appearance for the first time, Senior Tang Mengshan slowly walked onto the stage, and unsurprisingly, the team leader was her opponent.

"The match is now officially starting!" The referee threw two Poké Balls the moment he swung his hand downwards.

"Hehehe~" Lin Xiaolin, the senior student of Tang Mengshan, was very familiar with the Pokémon. It was Gastly, the previous form of the purple fat guy.

And the other party was indeed the armored dragon described in Tang Tian's information.

The moment the person on the other side saw Gastly, they knew something was wrong, but it was too late.

"Ghost! Song of Destruction!" Senior Tang Mengshan shouted, and a strange purple light emanated from Ghost's eyes. An obscure voice came from all directions.

"Oh no! The armored dragon is using its dragon breath!"

The Shellder Dragon unleashed a breath attack on Gastly, which Gastly took the hit head-on in order to maintain its Death Song.

The moment the dragon's breath struck Gastly, the spell of Annihilation was also completed.

Wisps of purple smoke appeared on the opponent's Shellder and Haunter, and slowly became thicker.

"Shellosaurus, use Crunch!"

The Shellder charged forward, intending to finish off Gastly in one blow, but Gastly wasn't about to give its opponent a chance and burrowed into the ground.

The Shellder Dragon searched its surroundings, but the Haunter, which was hiding, wouldn't give it that chance, remaining firmly entrenched in the floor.

"Shellion, use continuous Dragon Breath!" The opposing trainer was getting anxious as he watched the purple smoke around Shellion intensify, so he ordered Shellion to keep pounding the ground.

"Boom! Boom! Boom!" The floor around the armored dragon was blasted with tremendous noise.

But the floor is of pretty good quality, it's not damaged by such a loud noise.

Just three minutes later, the purple mist on the armored dragon's body suddenly erupted, and the armored dragon let out a cry of pain before collapsing to the ground.

The scene fell silent instantly, and the referee stared intently at the field.

"Heh!" Gastly couldn't help but pop up from the floor beside him, weakly letting out a shout and glancing at the referee.

"Shellion is unable to battle; the victor is Gastly from Star City Team One!"

The moment the referee announced the winner, Gastly collapsed to the ground and lost consciousness.

The two quickly recalled their respective Pokémon and stepped off the stage.

"Captain, I've done my best. The rest is up to you." Tang Mengshan said with a smile, then ran towards the infirmary, but Lin Xiaolin seemed to see a hint of tears in her eyes.

The Song of Destruction causes the spirit itself and any spirits around it that hear it to lose their battle energy after three minutes, but it does not harm the spirit's essence.

If the strength difference between the two sides is not significant, it will take the opponent a whole day to restore their Pokémon to full strength, while the Pokémon that releases the Song of Destruction will take at least three times as long to recover.

This means that Haunter will need at least three days to recover, and Shellder is stronger than Haunter, so Haunter will have to use 120% of its power.

This means that Tang Mengshan will basically not be involved in this year's college league.

Would someone who has waited for several years be willing to give up halfway? But in order to pave the way for his teammates, he had no other choice.

The captain of Team 2 of Longdu No. 2 High School walked off the stage with a gloomy expression, spoke to the others, and then headed towards the infirmary.

"Lu Di will be on next." While the rest of the teammates were still feeling sorry and disappointed for Tang Mengshan, Lan Rou gave timely instructions.

"Okay." The senior student named Lü Di stood up without hesitation.

"Wait a minute." Lan Rou suddenly stood up and looked at him.

"What's wrong, Captain?" Lu Di turned around in confusion.

“Mengshan is with us.” Lan Rou smiled and patted his shoulder, then smiled and invited him to go on stage.

These words were not spoken to Lü Di alone, but to everyone.

When Lan Rou said those words, the regret among the crowd vanished, replaced by high morale.

Lu Di and the opposing player entered the arena at the same time, and simultaneously threw their Poké Balls after the referee gave the order.

Cloyster and Gyarados appeared on the field at the same time.

The trainer opposite him looked visibly stiff when he saw Cloyster.

Lin Xiaolin instantly understood Lan Rou's intention. Most of the remaining Pokémon in Dragon City were Water and Fire types, and Cloyster, being a Water/Ice type with high physical defense, could defend well in this round.

Chapter 94 College League 6

"Spirit-resistant clam, retreat into your shell!"

The spiky clamation shell immediately retracted its body into its shell to enhance its defense.

"Gyarados, use tornado!"

The opponent had no choice but to attack, but they were frustrated by the result.

Water-type attacks only deal half the damage to Cloyster, and with Cloyster's high physical defense, it's practically useless. Rain Dance is also unusable, since both are Water-types, so using it is pointless.

The tornado rose directly from beneath the spiky shell, which tightly retracted into its shell, perfectly withstanding the tornado.

"Spear Spikes! Poison Spikes!" The Spiny Shell Clam flung out a bunch of spikes, filling the entire area with two kinds of spikes.

Gyarados's massive body accidentally bumped into the surrounding spikes, causing it to roar in pain and anger.

"Referee, I concede!" The Dragon City player immediately chose to concede. There was no point in dragging it out like this. Gyarados was losing health from time to time, and it was also poisoned by the poison spikes. It couldn't even damage Cloyster. How could they possibly win?

Admitting defeat now is the best course of action, and it will also conserve energy for the team competition.

"Longdu No. 2 High School concedes defeat. Xingcheng No. 1 High School wins this match. The score is now 0-2!"

After the referee announced the winner, both players recalled their Pokémon.

The moment Lü Di came down, Lin Xiaolin looked at him with a strange expression. She never expected that such a sunny and handsome young man would resort to such dirty tricks. He was just short of learning to be a stunt double.

"Yes, Not Bad"

Lan Rou smiled as she watched Lü Di step off the stage.

Lü Di scratched his head sheepishly.

"Next match is with me and Water, and the last match is with Su Xi and Gong Ping."

Lan Rou looked at the remaining people and spoke.

"okay."

The dragons that haven't appeared yet include Charizard, Ice Dragon, Magmortar, Torkoal, Mismagius, and two others whose appearances are currently unknown.

Meanwhile, on their side, there were Gong Ping's Breloom, Liu Qianqian's Pachirisu, Su Xi's Hyperactive Apexis, Wan Shan's Ice Ninetales, Lu Lei's Bulbasaur, and Ren Shuizhi's Crocodile.

With a Coal Turtle on the opposing team, they're bound to have a sunny day in one of the two doubles matches, so neither Wanshan Lu Lei nor Liu Qianqian are suitable to play.

In summary, the safest strategy is to have one match between Lan Rou and Ren Shui, and one match between Gong Ping and Su Xi.

Lan Rou and Ren Shuizhi went on stage at the same time, while the opposing team fielded two girls.

"The match begins!" The moment the referee announced the start of the match, four Poké Balls flew out simultaneously.

Altaria and Crocodile make their appearance at the same time, while their opponents are Mismagius and Espeon, which was not mentioned in the information!
