Pokémon: Legendary Pokémon Simulator, Starting with Arceus

Xiong Biao nodded, his calm tone returning, "Xiong Hunyu's progress this time is remarkable, not only in terms of raw strength but also in his adaptability."

"Many people forget one thing: the equipment in the arena can be utilized, and the inherent strengths of the Pokémon themselves can be taken advantage of."

"For example, there's superhuman strength and multiple arms. Throwing stones isn't exactly a skill, but it can definitely have an impact on the opponent."

"It's clear that Xiong Hunyu put in a lot of effort this time. If he had done this well last year, he wouldn't have lost to Long Wu Hou's Double Axe Dragon in the end."

Xiong Biao knew about last year's situation. Back then, the champion's Haxorus was slightly weaker than Machamp, but due to carelessness and lack of experience, the opponent activated Dragon Dance.

The damage was already insane; without any defense, the opponent's monstrous strength could only be withstood, ultimately resulting in the opponent being severely injured and the team failing.

It's a real shame.

"You're pretty good. Although your strength isn't great, I admire your spirit." Xiong Hunyu stretched out his hand and grinned.

:. .grateful."

After getting up, the two left separately. Xiong Meng checked the time and took the direct elevator down from the side.

Meanwhile, in the lobby below, staff members were walking around with walkie-talkies. "We didn't see contestant Xiong Meng in the lobby."

There are no seats available for visitors.

"There's no cafeteria or toilet either."

The staff are going crazy! They're all ready to go on stage, but where are they?

We were supposed to be watching a match on the security camera, so why aren't the players up there or down there? Where are they?!

On the other side, Xiong Meng was on his way when he passed through the corridor and saw the contestant from before, He Weijie. He Weijie was squatting pitifully in the corner, staring blankly at the ceiling.

Xiong Meng initially didn't want to pay attention and pretended not to see him as he walked past, but then his gaze immediately appeared behind him, staring intently at him.

Sigh, what can I do? He's a good person.

"Hey bro, what's wrong? Did you lose your temper?"

"Ah... Oh, you're talking to me? How did you know I just played against last year's runner-up?"

The other party actually approved of me.

Huh? No, who asked you that?

Looking at this guy who seems pitiful but is in a happy mood and tone, oops, what a waste of time.

"Hey, hey, don't go yet!" The other person jumped up and grabbed him. "Actually, I was waiting for you right here."

"You have one minute to give me your reasons, I still need to hug you." Xiong Meng crossed his arms and looked at the other person.

"Ahem, I just heard that a prospective college student was coming, so I came to check it out. After all, barring any unforeseen circumstances, we'll be able to see each other every year from now on."

God knows how special it was for him to be here in his sophomore year, but he was surprised when he heard the news.

A soon-to-be freshman comes here, what kind of big shot is this?

Out of curiosity, he didn't go back; he waited here on purpose, even putting on a show to see how the other party reacted.

It seems pretty good now, I can make some friends and stuff.

After understanding the situation, Xiong Meng sighed. He could tell that the guy in front of him was very confident.

And he also has a great mindset.

The other person didn't bother them any longer after they finished speaking, and even gave them a special reminder before leaving.

"Don't underestimate any of the competitors. Who knows who the big shots are here? If you come down here, you might not be able to handle the water. Be careful and humble."

He's a nice person, but he suddenly appears in some rather strange ways.

As soon as he arrived at the preparation area, the staff surrounded him. "My God, he's finally here! He wasn't answering his phone. This is really bad for Xiong Meng."

"It doesn't matter where we're going, but tell me," he said, handing over a tablet. "Here, let's select the type first."

"Sorry, sorry. I was watching the match upstairs, and there was a little accident on my way here."

Xiong Meng took a look and saw that it offered options for regular and wild battles, and single and double events.

After thinking it over, check the boxes in both places. Hmm, this is our first time here, so let's learn from experience. Let's do it!

"Alright, you're free to move around now, but you must wait at the gate for the last three minutes."

Once the staff have signed in and made their selections, that's it. Give them a few more instructions and then leave.

This wasn't the first time Xiong Meng had done something like this, but it was still quite rare, since those who usually came were all sophomores or above and had some experience.

They've learned their lesson and can't wait here; they must first determine the position of the next player.

This time, Xiong Meng didn't wander off; instead, he waited quietly at the gate.

"Alright! The two matches ended quickly, now it's time for the third!"

"This time the contestants are different, one of them is very special! But I definitely can't say it here~"

"Now, let's welcome our two contestants to the stage!"

The gate opened, and Xiong Meng stepped out.

"First up is Luo An, who was among the top 16 last time. He's a sophomore last year and a junior this year. I hope he does well this time!"

Luo An stood on the platform, holding a Poké Ball with a serious expression, as someone who had come here in his second year of university.

He knew the significance of coming here, and he knew the authorities wouldn't act recklessly. So, as a prospective freshman here...

Let me see just how capable you are, and see how you compare to me two years ago!

On the other side, Xiong Meng walked onto the stage. The audience didn't see anything special about him. He was just a tall man, and people of that height weren't common here.

Some people have noticed that this is someone they haven't seen before, or someone who is here for the first time, a sophomore?

"The second one," the commentator paused before slowly saying, "is Xiong Meng, a first-time participant, a soon-to-be freshman."

"That's right, they're prospective freshmen who haven't even started school yet! And they've already arrived here!!!"

The commentator suddenly became excited, saying that there had been similar people before, but those people all had terrifying futures, and the least among them would become superstars!

The audience discussed it amongst themselves, saying that it was rare to see a freshman come here in the entire Donghuang, and it would be good if there was one every three years.

I never expected to run into this place; the ticket price is well worth it!

"Alright! Now let's choose the type! Luo An, please choose the regular type. Xiong Meng, either is fine."

"Then let's begin the extraction!"

During the draw, the commentator even joked, "Why didn't player Luo An just choose Wild Battle? That would have been more advantageous."

The audience thought the same way. It would be more convenient for the older generation to lead the trainers in battle. You can see that Goodra couldn't move around freely just now because she had to protect the trainers.

If they go up there, they'll just wipe out the trainers!

Hearing the commentator's words, Luo An rolled his eyes. It's easy for him to talk when he's sitting there. With the physical condition of the person opposite him, what would he do if he went up there? Just to be a free kill?

Although that was his initial thought...:::, it still depends on the facts!

"The result is in! A standard result! This time, luck is on Xiong Meng's side, who's here for the first time. Xiong Meng must have something special to offer; hopefully, he'll bring a surprise!"

"Let's begin announcing the rules for this match: a maximum of four skills, one item, and only one special mode such as Mega, limited to once. Do you have any objections?"

The two shook their heads.

"Please send out your Pokémon!"

"Please, Blaziken!"

"just!"

"Mumpmitvone, here we come!"

"Fruit for sale!"
