Pokémon: Starting as a Pokémon Researcher with Milotic

However, Lao Liu's arrival broke the tranquility.

"Ye Chen, the Southwest University Tournament will begin in a few days. This afternoon, our school team will hold a motivational meeting in Training Room 19 and discuss some battle strategies. You should come and listen."

Ye Chen thought to himself, the Southwest University Tournament is about to begin, and he hasn't even met his other three teammates yet, which is really absurd.

So he agreed, "Okay, then Shuyun and I will go together after school."

Only then did Lao Liu turn and leave, satisfied.

Before they knew it, it was time to leave school. Ye Chen and Jiang Shuyun walked together toward the training room.

"So, has your Charizard evolved yet?"

Jiang Shuyun was so excited that she immediately began to talk about what happened at the training base, such as the various special training methods and the battles with other training geniuses.

And most importantly, Charmeleon successfully evolved into Charizard!

Anyone who can train a high-level Pokémon during high school is a genius in training and a future pillar of the league!

Therefore, training a high-level Pokémon at this stage is actually an evaluation standard. Training a novice Pokémon to a high level within a year is even the admission standard of many top universities.

As for the senior level, such a genius might not appear for decades, and the dojo level is unheard of!

The two chatted as they walked, and before they knew it, they had arrived at the entrance of the training room.

Pushing open the door, I saw Lao Liu and three other students inside, who should be the other three members of the school team.

When Old Liu saw Ye Chen arrive, he quickly greeted him with a smile: "You've finally come! You're quite incompetent as the captain of the school team!"

Ye Chen asked in surprise, "I'm the captain?"

Then his gaze casually swept over the three school team members standing on the other side, and he saw that their faces were filled with excitement and admiration, without a trace of dissatisfaction.

In fact, when they first joined the school team and learned that the captain had already been chosen, they were very dissatisfied because they felt that they had never competed with him, so why should they be considered inferior to him?

Their emotions calmed down a bit after learning that Ye Chen was chosen as the captain, but the fact that Ye Chen had not come to participate in training still aroused their dissatisfaction. So what if you are a research genius? In the field of trainers, it is not certain who is stronger and who is weaker. Moreover, how can the captain not come to participate in training?

However, Jiang Shuyun brute forcefully crushed all of these!

Jiang Shuyun directly challenged each of them to a Pokémon battle, and Jiang Shuyun won all three battles. Afterwards, Jiang Shuyun left a message.

"You're always complaining about this and that, but you can't even beat me! Let me tell you, my strength is far inferior to Old Ye's. I'm completely convinced that he's the captain!"

The three were already ashamed of losing to a girl, and hearing this made them even more curious about the strength of Ye Chen's Pokémon.

After that, the three of them never mentioned changing the captain again. Moreover, after news spread that Ye Chen had developed the Fairy type, they became his biggest fans and worshipped him greatly!

In their view, not to mention participating in training, even the entire Southwest University Tournament was not as important as Ye Chen's research on the Fairy System!

Therefore, it's understandable that Ye Chen didn't participate in the college competition!

"Let me introduce you. These are all members of our school team. This is Liu Lixuan, Qi Jun, and Guo Shengfu. This is Ye Chen, the captain you've all been longing to see."

The three of them immediately bowed in unison and said, "Greetings, Brother Ye!"

"No, just call me Ye Chen." Ye Chen was startled by the scene.

I originally thought some members would disagree and I could have a chance to prove them wrong, but the plot seems to be different from what I expected.

"That won't work!"

"If Brother Ye won't allow it, then let's call him Captain."

"Hello, Captain!"

The three quickly discussed and decided to address Ye Chen as captain.

Compared to "Brother Ye," this title was much better, so Ye Chen reluctantly agreed.

Then the three of them introduced their initial Pokémon.

Liu Lixuan's initial Pokémon is Sandslash, which has intermediate to high-level strength;

Qi Jun's initial spirit was Pidgey, which also had the strength of a mid-to-high level.

Guo Shengfu's initial Pokémon was Machoke, which was at the mid-level, making it the weakest of the three.

However, because this chubby kid's family was very rich, they bought his Machoke a black belt, which could enhance the power of fighting moves. So his Machoke was actually able to overpower Sandslash!

Seeing that everyone had gotten to know each other, Lao Liu said, "Alright, the opening ceremony of the college competition is in a few days, so I'll first explain the rules of previous college competitions to help you discuss tactics and strategies."

"In previous years, the college competition was divided into two parts: the knockout stage and the group stage. Since there are too many participating schools in the entire Southwest region, it is impossible to play against them all one by one, so a knockout stage will be held first to eliminate those teams that are obviously not strong enough."

Then, 16 teams are selected from the knockout stage, divided into four groups for the group stage, and the four strongest teams from each group compete in the semifinals and the final! This is the traditional format for the university tournament.

After Lao Liu finished speaking, he looked at Ye Chen, indicating that he could ask any questions he might have, since Ye Chen was the least familiar with these things among the people present.

P.S.: Guys, the book's stats haven't changed in a while, so please give me some flowers, monthly tickets, and review votes!

Chapter 81 Academic Fraud?

Ye Chen asked, "So what are the rules for matches between different teams, singles or team matches?"

"It's a ring competition. Both sides send their representatives to the stage at the same time. The winner defends their position, and the loser sends their representatives to the stage. The competition continues until all five members of one side are defeated, at which point the competition is automatically lost!"

"This competition rule takes into account both the overall strength of the team and allows outstanding players to play a greater role."

Old Liu nodded and said, "That's right. The Southwest University Tournament has been using this set of rules for decades, which shows that it is the most suitable set of rules that everyone has summarized."

After this explanation, Ye Chen had a basic understanding of the competition process.

Liu Lixuan, one of the trio, said, "Captain, we've all introduced our starter Pokémon, but you haven't."

The other two immediately chimed in, "Yeah, Captain, why don't you release Milotic and let's see what happens?"

Clearly, they had long coveted Milotic, the most beautiful elf in legend, and were eager to see what Milotic looked like in reality!

Ye Chen laughed and said, "That's right. Since I'm the captain of the school team, it would be unreasonable for the team members not to know my Pokémon."

As it spoke, a flash of red light appeared, releasing a ferocious bipedal Pokémon, Garchomp.

"This is!"

Old Liu was just watching the show from the sidelines when Ye Chen unexpectedly released a quasi-god.

"Fangtooth Land Shark!"

Guo Shengfu, who comes from a wealthy family, is also quite knowledgeable, so he immediately recognized the Pokémon as belonging to the pseudo-legendary Garchomp family.

You're saying this is a Garchomp?

"That pseudo-legendary spirit 々々?"

Since Ye Chen has only exposed Milotic among his Pokémon so far, they have always assumed that Ye Chen only has one Pokémon.

"Milotic doesn't like to come out much, so I released Garchomp. Garchomp came to say hello!"

Garchomp grinned and waved to everyone, its gaping maw gleaming. Though it was smiling, its expression looked fierce no matter how you looked at it.

Although they didn't get to see Milotic, which they were hoping to see, they were already quite satisfied to have witnessed such a rare pseudo-legendary Pokémon.

Jiang Shuyun's eyes lit up, and she looked like she couldn't wait to rush up and examine every detail of Garchomp's body. This was exactly her favorite type of Pokémon, both handsome and majestic!

"Old Ye, did you catch this Garchomp during your winter break?"

"That's right, it was a Gible when I caught it, and it only evolved recently."

The trio immediately followed suit with their flattery.

"The captain truly lives up to his reputation as captain!"

"They even have pseudo-legendary Pokémon!"

Qi Jun pondered: "I remember hearing someone say that a few days ago, Meng Ming from No. 2 Middle School was defeated by a Gible in the Battle Park. After the battle, the Gible even evolved. Could it be you, Captain?"

"If the starter Pokémon you're talking about, Meng Ming, is a Blaziken, then that must be me."

Jiang Shuyun also thought of something and scratched his head, saying, "I've seen Meng Ming at the training base. His Blaziken is very good at close combat. Even my Charizard is no match for him."

Old Liu then walked over and said, "I've also heard of this Meng Ming. His Blaziken is very strong. He's the captain of No. 2 Middle School's team in this Southwest University Tournament and can be considered No. 2 Middle School's ace player!"

As a coach, Lao Liu usually learns about the information of contestants from other schools.

As the saying goes, "Know yourself and know your enemy, and you will never be defeated."

Qi Jun said nonchalantly, "So what? He can't even beat the captain's Gible. Now that Gible has evolved into Garchomp, he's definitely no match for him."

"Your thinking is wrong. This competition is ultimately a ring match. No matter how strong Ye Chen is, he can't take on five opponents at once..."

At this point, Lao Liu paused for a moment, as he was truly unsure of Ye Chen's strength.

"Even if he can take on five people at once, what would you guys be needed for? You're a team, and everyone should play a role!"
