It's perfectly reasonable for me, a fisherman, to catch a Georgios, right?

Sun Pengcheng quickly said, "Someone started a thread analyzing who is stronger between you and Song Yun. Currently, the number of supporters for you and Song Yun is about the same."

"Those who support Song Yun believe that as the daughter of a superstar, Song Yun has been exposed to the world of military command since childhood, and her performance in command may be superior to yours."

"Your supporters believe that if the two of you were to battle, your Milotic would have a type advantage over Charizard, giving you a greater chance of winning."

"Oh~"

Qin Ming wasn't particularly interested in this. He used Milotic during the preliminary rounds and the top 30 competition, but his strongest Pokémon was actually Lucario.

It's just that it hasn't been shown in public yet.

As for the title of strongest rookie king?

Qin Ming wouldn't care about an empty title.

However, several roommates were very interested, and Li Shiwei continued, "Although you and Song Yun have roughly the same number of supporters, in the ranking prediction for the selection competition, you, Brother Qin, are ranked above Song Yun."

"Song Yun is ranked in the top sixteen, and you are ranked in the top eight."

"I'm in the top eight?"

Qin Ming was somewhat interested in this question.

"Ok!"

Li Shiwei continued, "Based on the ranking of combat strength, I predict that Brother Qin will be ranked in the top eight in this selection competition, tying the thirteen-year record!"

"What record?"

Qin Ming's interest grew stronger.

“Every year, Shenzhen University holds a selection competition. The best result for a freshman was achieved by a senior named Liu Yakun. At that time, as a freshman, he defeated a group of senior students and made it into the top eight of the selection competition!”

Sun Pengcheng continued, "Later, this senior student named Liu Yakun was recruited by the Guangdong Provincial Training Association as an outstanding graduate and joined the First Action Team, becoming one of its members."

Qin Ming frowned slightly: "So, the best result a freshman can achieve in the selection competition is a top-eight finish..."

The top eight were not enough to satisfy Qin Ming's appetite.

What he wants is the qualification to go to the starter Pokémon training base to select the starter Pokémon, a qualification that only the top three can obtain.

And since we've entered the competition, we're aiming for the championship.

However, Qin Ming did not intend to make any grand pronouncements in front of his roommates.

At that moment, my phone rang to notify me of a new message.

[Campus Network Notice: Qin Ming, Class 1, Trainer of the 2020 cohort, congratulations on advancing to the top 30 of Shenzhen University.]

【校园网提示：接下来你将于12月17日，与2018级训练家2班的陆书宇进行15强席位争夺战。】

[Campus network reminder: We wish you the best of luck in your upcoming competition.]

Upon seeing the message, Qin Ming asked, "What does Lu Shuyu have to say?"

In the next match, Sun Pengcheng took it upon himself to become Qin Ming's intelligence gatherer: "Lu Shuyu is a senior in his third year, and he has a certain reputation in our school!"

"The Pokémon he used was quite unique; it was a Poison Frog, and its rank should be at the elite level."

"His combination of poison and fighting is disgusting. It is said that people who have fought him say that he is very difficult to deal with."

Poison Skull Frog?

Qin Ming's mind conjured up an image of a frog-like sprite with a red sac protruding from its lower jaw. To be fair, the Poison Skull Frog sprite doesn't appear very often.

First of all, as a Poison-type Pokémon, its body contains toxins.

If you're not careful during the breeding process, you can easily get accidentally injured by the toxins of Poison-type Pokémon.

In addition, the appearance of the poison skeletal frog is not popular.

However, Toxtricita is also special, being the only Poison/Fighting type Pokémon among all Pokémon.

However, it is precisely because of Toxapex's unappealing appearance that it is quite famous in the Pokémon movie world and is often portrayed as a villain in movies.

The ultimate boss in "Kirullian's Quest for Love" is a poisonous skeletal frog.

The Poison Skull Frog might be a bit troublesome, but since it's only at the Elite level, it shouldn't be a big problem.

It's just a battle for the top 15, and the opponents aren't that strong yet. Qin Ming asked curiously, "By the way, who's ranked number one in the prediction post you mentioned earlier?"

"Lü Wanyun!"

"Lü Wanyun!"

"Lü Wanyun!"

The three people in dormitory 208 gave their answer without even thinking.

Remembering Lü Wanyun, whom he had just added on WeChat, Qin Ming asked the 'intelligence officer' curiously, "Do you have any relevant information about Lü Wanyun?"

Sun Pengcheng shrugged: "Besides knowing that Senior Sister Lü Wanyun's main battle Pokémon is Espeon, I don't have any other information."

"It is said that Senior Sister Lü Wanyun has a cold personality. Because of her status, she spends most of her time either studying at school or helping out at the Shenzhen Dojo. We know relatively little about her."

"Aloof?"

Qin Ming recalled that Lü Wanyun had taken the initiative to add him on WeChat earlier. She had been quite enthusiastic at the time and didn't seem particularly aloof.

……

……

The following day, the "Athletes' March" once again echoed over Shenzhen University.

The entire school's teachers and students gathered once again at the Elf Gymnasium.

The competition is down from 30 to 15, with three matches played simultaneously in each round. It seems that, just like before, the final 15 will be decided in the morning.

The student affairs department teacher gave a brief explanation of the rules without any unnecessary words, and the large screen in the gymnasium began to rotate, arranging the matches in batches.

"The first batch of players, please proceed to your respective battlegrounds to prepare."

This time, Qin Ming was selected for the first batch of matches.

"I'm on."

Qin Ming greeted his roommates and Song Yun.

"Go, Brother Qin!"

"Go Qin Ming!"

"come on!"

……

On the battlefield, Qin Ming met his opponent, Lu Shuyu.

"Both players, please show me your starting Pokémon!"

Before the match begins, the referee goes through the procedures.

"Ready!"

Lu Shuyu held up a Poké Ball.

On the contrary, Qin Ming, who is usually decisive, hesitated at this moment.

It's unclear whether it will be Pyrucalio or Pyruminas who play.

Generally speaking, if you know that the opponent's Pokémon is of elite level, you can send Milotic, which is also of elite level, to fight.

As Qin Ming's strongest Pokémon, Lucario's effectiveness is maximized the later it is revealed.

But let's put Minaur on the field...

The opponent is the 'villain' Poison Skull Frog!!
