Pokémon: Hard work pays off, moves can be upgraded infinitely.

Despite its disadvantageous attributes, the Vikadou defeated the Swamp King thanks to its level advantage.

However, the price was that the stamina of the slug was already exhausted. After barely finishing the third battle and receiving the free reward, she collapsed in the fourth battle.

"Get ready, it's your turn next," Wang He said.

Although Mu Yun's scheduled time is eight o'clock, that is based on the premise that the person who started at seven o'clock in the previous day can complete ten matches.

Now that the opponent is eliminated in the fourth match, they certainly won't leave us waiting idly for the remaining time.

So, although theoretically only four people can book per day, in reality, if things go quickly, it's not impossible to book ten people in one night.

Sure enough, not long after Wang He reminded Mu Yun, a staff member came over to remind him to get ready to go on stage.

Soon, Mu Yun, just like the girl from before, stood in the red team's position.

"Let's see what surprises the next challenger has in store for us!"

Upon Mu Yun's appearance, the host, San San, once again delivered his passionate words through the loudspeaker.

As the host's voice rang out, a boy dressed in casual clothes walked into the blue team's side of the battlefield.

He was also a young man who looked quite young.

Once both sides were in position, the referee, as before, briefly repeated the rules and announced, "Both sides, please release your Pokémon!"

Awesome! *2

Two figures appeared on the battlefield.

On Mu Yun's side, he naturally dispatched his strongest combat force—Xiao Du!

As for the opponent on the other side, it is an elf with thick fur, an overall shape resembling a seal, and horns on its head - a little sea lion!

..............................

【Items to bring: None】

[Potential: Elite]

..............................

"As expected, an ordinary-level opponent..."

Looking at the little sea lion's panel, Mu Yun understood.

"Both Pokémon are in position, let the match begin!"

"Little sea lion, use Ice Wind!"

The blue team player immediately shouted.

He did not underestimate his opponent just because it was a common Beedrill.

After all, anyone who dares to sign up for the tournament must have some skill.

Winning at least one or two games shouldn't be a problem.

In other words, you are the one most likely to lose.

But even if you lose, as long as you perform well, you can still get an extra bonus at the end of the month!

"Gather energy, use the cross-cutting technique."

Mu Yun crossed his arms and spoke in a loud voice.

"Hiss!"

As the sea lion lowered its raised tail and began to gather its strength for the freezing wind, Xiao Du had already completed its energy gathering and instantly leaped across the field.

..............................

Inside the testing room of Qingyun Arena.

At this moment, the few people who were not conducting testing gathered around a screen that monitored the battlefield.

"It's Beedrill's turn. How long do you think it will take to win the first round?" one of the testers said.

"Three minutes, I guess. That Beedrill is pretty fast, so it's probably not weak," a person holding a coffee chimed in.

"You don't know our battle arena's style yet. The first one is a freebie. I bet two and a half points that if I lose, I'll treat you to supper tonight!" another tester said.

Just as the group was having a heated discussion, the staff member responsible for writing the review for Beedrill suddenly widened his eyes and exclaimed, "Holy crap!!"

"What's wrong?"

The first few people who spoke were startled by the sudden mention of traditional Chinese culture and looked over in confusion.

Then, the detection screen clearly displayed:

[Speed ​​Rating: Senior Peak!]

"???"

Everyone looked completely bewildered.

How can a Beedrill that is normally only at the peak of the ordinary level suddenly unleash the speed of the peak of the senior level when it fights?

Hello, is there any testing personnel from the competition organizers? I'd like to request a urine test for them!

Oh, wait, they seem to be the testing personnel...

Thinking of this, the group looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Is this really the same Beedrill? Could they have switched Pokémon at the last minute?"

"Are you stupid? Those Poké Balls still have our anti-tamper detection stickers on them, how could you possibly swap out a Pokémon!"

"So you're saying that a peak-level Common-grade Beedrill can unleash speeds comparable to peak-level Senior-grade beedrill? Does that even make sense?"

"Well, what can we do? That's just how it is." One of them, Little Bear, shrugged, expressing his helplessness.

"Forget it, just report it. Anyway, the data is fine, so we're not the ones who should be having headaches," the lead staff member finally decided.

..............................

Meanwhile, in the battlefield.

"Bawa!!"

The baby sea lion, having gathered its energy, frowned, preparing to unleash a freezing wind.

However, just as he looked up to aim, he discovered that Xiao Du's figure had already come to him from the other side of the field.

"Baka?"

The sudden closeness of the figure made the little sea lion pause instinctively, clearly somewhat bewildered.

Unfortunately, his opponent wouldn't stop just because he was confused.

Xiao Du, whose arms were glowing with a pale green light from the bee stingers, raised his arms high and then swung them down fiercely.

boom!

The cross-cutting shears hit the target!

Special Feature: Strike at the vital points!

Boom! !

A critical hit triggers!

The power of the Phillips Shears has been increased to 300%!

The baby sea lion collapsed...

The powerful scissors fell, and before the little sea lion could even think, everything went black, and its eyes turned into mosquito coil-like eyes.

"??"

When the sea lion's trainer saw this, he was just as puzzled as the staff behind the scenes.

No, he did expect to lose, but he lost too quickly.

One move and he was dead?

Is there something wrong with this matching mechanism?

Even if you're giving away a veteran-level Pokémon for free, you should still send out a veteran-level Pokémon. Why pair him with a common-level one...?

The blue team trainer looked at the host not far away with a resentful expression.

"The little sea lion is unable to fight, and the winner is the red team's Beedrill!" The referee, being a professional, made the decision immediately despite being somewhat surprised.

At the same time, the system notification sounded.

..............................

[Ding! Beedrill (19) defeated Sea Lion (19). Permanent Quest 1: Battle Completed. The opponent's level was detected to be equal to yours. Congratulations, host, you have gained 10 points!]

..............................

[Ding! Target detected as Short-Term Mission 5: Arena Battles - Bonus Points 38!]

..............................

"38 points. If you achieve a ten-game winning streak, that's 380 points, more than the points rewarded from a week's worth of daily tasks!"

Hearing the system notification, Mu Yun's lips curled up slightly.

Fighting in the ring is great! He loves fighting in the ring the most!

Hopefully, we can trigger more short-term tasks like this in the future!
