Pokémon: Having just completed the Pokédex, I'm now traversing the world of Beast Taming.

"A challenge to me?"

"You?"

The man with the buzz cut looked disdainful.

"Yes." Chi Hong withdrew his hand from his and put it in his pocket, then asked seriously, "You're not scared, are you?"

"After all, even President Li is no match for me."

His tone was very serious, as if he genuinely didn't dare to cut his hair short.

The students who were still practicing expanding their pet space immediately stopped what they were doing and all looked over with great interest.

There's no way around it; it's human nature to watch the excitement!

"You think you're so great? So great that you don't need my lectures?" Professor Zhou frowned. As a professor, he was being directly rejected by this freshman. In his opinion, this freshman must have eyes in the back of his head!

"Professor Zhou, you're exaggerating."

"Chi Hong didn't mean that."

Mr. Li stepped forward and stood next to Chi Hong, seemingly speaking up for Chi Hong and trying to let the matter drop.

In fact, he knew very well that the discord between Professor Zhou and Professor Yan was common knowledge at Jinling Beast Tamer University!

"What does he mean?"

"Mr. Li, you know perfectly well how he beat you. You recklessly used your teacher's pet beast and lost control, didn't you?"

"You're nowhere near strong enough to control a monster!"

Professor Zhou reprimanded him with a cold face, and President Li nodded in agreement, showing no intention of arguing with him.

In Mr. Li's view, losing is losing, and it doesn't matter how others interpret it. Anyway, the outcome has happened, so he has lost.

Regardless of whether they believe he held back, Chi Hong was too strong, or, like Professor Zhou, they believe it was because he used the Mighty Monster, he lost.

"The rules are 3 vs 3! You cannot change your pet midway through!"

"The pet battle is about to begin!"

Among the trainees, one who seemed eager to see the duel suddenly stepped forward, raised his hand, and shouted out these words!

He looks like he's going to be a referee!

"It's him, Sun She, ranked first in Class A!"

Some students recognized him; he was the top-ranked A-level student and a prominent figure at Jinling Beast Tamer University.

"Exactly! The freshmen are challenging the upperclassmen, and what was Professor Zhou babbling on about? He just loves to show off!"

"That's right, that's right..."

Whispers drifted over, and Professor Zhou's face darkened...

"Hmph, Deng Jiahao, don't embarrass me!" Professor Zhou glanced at the man with the buzz cut, gave him a cold snort, and then walked to the side.

It's common for college students to spar in the practice room. Since they spend all their time on campus, they don't encounter life-or-death battles. Normally, they improve their combat skills by sparring with each other.

"Huh?"

"So his name is Jiahao, no wonder he's so awesome."

Chi Hong became interested and walked back, with the two of them standing at opposite ends of the field.

"Chi Hong, Deng Jiahao is ranked 3rd, and he's much stronger than me. Be careful."

"He has a telekinetic pet, which should be able to counter your muscular mosquito."

"Be extremely careful!"

Mr. Li gave a reminder and then took his place as a spectator.

"Superpowers counter martial arts, that makes sense." Chi Hong nodded, not flustered at all.

After all, even the Super Lizard King with four times the water resistance could be defeated by Sailor Shūken, so a mere psychic attribute is nothing to it.

Looking at the Pokémon I can use in battle, I have quite a few, although some of them aren't very high level.

"Kid, let me show you what I'm capable of, being third in the draft!"

Deng Jiahao was a little angry. As a senior student, what was wrong with him saying a few words to a freshman?

He's a freshman, and instead of being grateful for my "guidance," he actually wants to challenge himself?

We have to teach him a lesson! I'm not a fool like President Li who actually managed to use his mentor's pet beast, causing it to go out of control and shatter most of the building's windows!

"So what if you're the third? No need to make it sound so nice. I won't laugh at you."

"You," Chi Hong pointed at him, his face that gave Deng Jiahao that same serious look that made him cringe, "Don't feel inferior!"

Deng Jiahao's face instantly turned ugly. This freshman probably doesn't know his place now that he's made a little name for himself!

As a top-ranked player with exceptional strength, he has to teach this newcomer a lesson!

"Today I'll show you just how big the gap is between you and a true A-level beast tamer!"

Deng Jiahao decided to bid on his strongest pet right away!

This arrogant freshman has been ruined!

Otherwise, this kid might start taking advantage of the older students!

Deng Jiahao stretched out his hands, and his pet space connected with the real space. The space felt hazy, and then a huge winged lizard appeared in everyone's sight!

"........."

Mr. Li frowned, glanced at Chi Hong, and then dismissed his worries.

"You're the one who doesn't know your place! I've been wanting to get back at you for a long time, and today Chi Hong is going to teach you a lesson!"

"That old, red, muscular mosquito—whoever faces it knows what I mean!"

Mr. Li inwardly complained that he still had no confidence at all if he were to face Chi Hong again.

Fitness coach Bubble Mosquito will fiercely love every pet it encounters!

Fierce Winged Dragon Lizard: Level 65.

Attribute: Pseudo-Dragon, Aerial.

Trait: Speed. Pets equipped with this trait become faster.

"Good heavens, another fake dragon!"

"Those mere pebbles are no match for my bulging muscles..."

Just as Chi Hong was preparing to send his fitness coach, Bubble Mosquito, into the arena to once again pull off a 1-on-3 victory, a Poké Ball popped out of his hand, which Chi Hong immediately pressed down hard.

After glancing at the message, Chi Hong's expression became unnatural.

Have the conditions for unlocking your own Pokémon become...sensitive?

Dragonite: Level 90.

Features: Multiple scales.

Item to carry: Silk scarf.

He unlocked Dragonite.

This is the first generation of quasi-god, a powerful figure who suppressed an era—no, a powerful dragon!

"besides...."

Chi Hong took out a bead that looked like a Pokémon Ball.

"Taijing Bead?"

Chi Hong was pleasantly surprised. With this thing, in addition to Mega Evolution and Z-Moves, he had unlocked another ability: Crystallization, which could change the type of a Pokémon!

"What are you doing? Are you scared by my dragon?"

Deng Jiahao crossed his arms. All of this was within his expectations. Even Sun She, who was ranked first, could not be easily defeated by his pet beast!

"dragon?"

"A fake dragon is still called a dragon?"

Chi Hong recalled the Poké Ball, and as soon as Dragonite appeared in the Pokémon Space, he immediately summoned it!

As the space rippled, a huge, yellow, round-looking creature appeared.

It looks fat; you could even call it obese!

"What is it doing?" a student asked, pointing at the Dragonite with a puzzled look.

"I don't know, this posture... looks like someone taking a dump!" one student commented.

"Um?"

Dragonite suddenly turned around, veins popping on its forehead, its normally round face now filled with a ferocious expression!

He squatted on the ground, his two paws supporting his knees, and glared fiercely at the student who had just accused him of defecating.

"Eek!"

The student felt overwhelmed by an intense pressure and was so frightened that he sat down on the ground with a thud.

"So each Pokémon actually has its own unique characteristics, which cannot be shown in the games."

"You'll experience that once you're in real life..."

With distinct personalities, Lucario is fierce, Blaziken is calm, Zoroark is cunning, Buzzwole seems arrogant, and so on...

And this Dragonite looks extremely irritable!

I'll post it later tomorrow, three chapters at a time.
