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

The following day, the "Athletes' March" drifted through the air above Shenzhen University, and a large number of students gathered at the Elf Gymnasium.

A beautiful host walked onto the stage and transmitted her magnetic voice to every corner of the venue through the microphone.

"Welcome all teachers and students to watch the semi-final of the Shenzhen University Selection Competition. The final two contestants will be decided here today."

"The next two contestants to take the stage are Qin Ming from the Class of 2020 Trainers and Luo Yongbin from the Class of 2016 Trainers. I believe everyone is familiar with these two contestants."

"Yesterday, Qin Ming, a contestant from the Class of 2020, broke Shenzhen University's 13-year record by entering the top four of the selection competition as a freshman, breaking the monopoly of upperclassmen in the top four of the selection competition."

"Can he continue his momentum and advance to the finals today?"

"Another one, Luo Yongbin, from the class of 16, is someone I believe everyone is also familiar with."

"Contestant Luo Yongbin has always been known for his hard work..."

The host introduced Qin Ming and Luo Yongbin in the contestant passage offstage, where they met and waited to go on stage.

Qin Ming extended his right hand to the other person and said, "Hello, senior!"

"Hello!!"

Luo Yongbin's dark face broke into a simple, honest smile, and he extended his calloused hand to firmly shake Qin Ming's.

"Senior, please give me your guidance."

"You're too kind. I've studied your previous matches carefully. You're very strong and your command is very experienced. Although I'm three years older than you, I should be learning more from you."

The honest and simple-minded Luo Yongbin may have been spending a long time in the secret realm for special training, often interacting with straightforward elves, which made him less slick and more sincere than ordinary people.

"Junior, let me tell you something from the bottom of my heart."

"Don't you think it's a bit unfair of me to be a senior like this?"

Qin Ming turned around in surprise: "Senior, what do you mean by that?"

"hehe!"

Luo Yongbin looked slightly disappointed and said, "According to the unspoken rules of the campus selection competition, most of the participants are freshmen, sophomores, and juniors. Seniors who are about to graduate should give the opportunity to younger students."

"As far as I know, I seem to be the only senior majoring in Trainer."

"Graduation is approaching, and we'll soon be leaving school. I've heard this kind of talk countless times since the competition started..."

Qin Ming remained silent in response to Luo Yongbin's words.

Indeed, since the start of the competition, we have rarely heard of senior students participating.

Most of them were upperclassmen in their second or third year.

It's not fair that a senior student nearing graduation participates in the selection competition.

At this moment, Luo Yongbin concealed the disappointment in his expression and replaced it with anticipation. Looking at the end of the contestant passage, he slowly said, "Many people think that I participated in the competition to grab the prize money for the top three and the opportunity to enter the 'Top Three' training ground to select the 'Top Three'."

"Undeniably, the prize money and the opportunity to choose from the top three brands are very tempting to me."

"But my most important purpose in participating in the competition is to prove my efforts, join the Shenzhen University team, and fulfill my promise to myself."

Three years ago, I was just like you; I was also a freshman.

"One of the matches in the university league that year was held at our Shenzhen Gymnasium."

"My classmates and I all went there to cheer for our Shenzhen University team."

"That was the scene of the top 16 matches in the university league, and the stadium with a capacity of 300,000 was packed to capacity."

"At that time, the members of the Shenzhen University team won the game in front of 300,000 people. The applause and cheers at the scene seemed to be able to lift the roof off the stadium. I still remember it clearly to this day."

"From that moment on, I secretly told myself that I wanted to become a member of the Shenzhen University team, to represent Shenzhen University in the university league, and to feel the cheers of 300,000 people."

"I know I'm not a talented person, and the only way to reach that level is through my own hard work."

“Since then, I have devoted myself to special training in the secret realm. In my sophomore year, I participated in the campus selection competition, but unfortunately, I failed to reach the top eight. In my junior year, I participated again, but I could only be defeated in the top four.”

"I'm a senior this year, and this is my third and last time participating in the campus selection competition."

"This time, I want to win. I want to join the school team at the end of my university years and stand on a stage where people are watching to show myself!!"

"Only in this way can I live up to my youth, and not let down the efforts I made with the elf!!"

silent…

Even without using the wave-guiding power within his body, Qin Ming could sense the sincerity in Luo Yongbin's words.

It was a sincerity that came from the bottom of one's heart.

I was moved by his efforts and perseverance.

Sensing Qin Ming's change in mood, Luo Yongbin said apologetically, "Sorry, junior, I've been in the secret realm for a while, so I've been talking a lot."

"What I just said wasn't to get you to let me win in the match."

"On the contrary, I hope you fight without holding back on the battle stage!!"

Qin Ming nodded seriously: "Don't worry, senior, I will definitely do my best!!"

Qin Ming respects Luo Yongbin's ideals and his efforts; the best way to show respect is to give it your all.

At this moment, the host's voice rang out: "Alright, the battle stage is ready. Now, let's welcome our two contestants to the duel!"

"Good luck, junior!!"

"Come on, senior!!"

Qin Ming and Luo Yongbin exchanged a smile, and then entered the arena from different contestant entrances.

"Luo Yongbin!!"

"Luo Yongbin!!"

"Qin Ming!!"

"Qin Ming!!"

The audience, guided by the host, shouted out the names of the people they supported.

Although the Shenzhen University Gymnasium is not large, only able to accommodate 30,000 people, Qin Ming could still feel the excitement that Luo Yongbin had just described while standing on the stage.

Being admired and cheered for is a fascinating feeling.

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

As the referee spoke, Qin Ming snapped out of his thoughts and focused on the battle at hand, pulling out the Poké Ball containing Milotic to signal, "I'm ready."

"I'm ready too!" Luo Yongbin on the other side also raised his baby ball to signal.

"The battle between the two sides has officially begun!!"

With the referee waving the flag, the semi-finals of the qualifying tournament officially began.

"Come out, my elf!!"

Luo Yongbin was the first to throw a Poké Ball towards the opposing team. After a flash of red light, a Pokémon that looked like a mole appeared.

……

"A Gym-level Excadrill, as expected of my senior!!"

Qin Ming's eyes gleamed with fighting spirit as he stylishly tossed a Poké Ball towards the battlefield: "Little White, I'm counting on you for the rest of the battle!!"

"Mina~!!!"

The beautiful Milotic stood across the battlefield, its gaze firmly fixed on its opponent.

……

Open card!

Even without the intelligence from 'intelligence officer' Sun Pengcheng, Qin Ming already knew Luo Yongbin's Pokémon lineup through previous matches.
