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

Apart from the special situation in the first match where Feng Ya jumped into the arena, the rest of the battles were normal.

It's worth mentioning that the so-called rest area was actually the audience seating area for Battle Arena 1, so Mu Yun looked through the Pokémon information of the other students while they were battling.

There is basically no difference in level; most are around level 20, with only a few having level 19 Pokémon.

As for potential, they are all roughly the same. Apart from Feng Ya's Roar Bomb, which has gym-level potential, the other twenty are mostly elite-level or professional-level potential.

The battles on paper are all fairly standard.

About an hour later, all eleven matches of the first round were completed.

After that, there is a ten-minute break.

At this time, staff members carrying healing sprites will arrive to provide assistance so that the subsequent battle can proceed normally.

After all, there are five rounds of group matches. If we don't have some high-level healing Pokémon, just one group match could take several days.

It's a complete waste of time.

After the break, the referee, Butterfly, once again reached his hand into the plastic box filled with small red balls.

"The first match of the second round features Song Yuan, contestant number 8 from Songjiang No. 2 High School, and Lu Ziqi, contestant number 22 from Songjiang No. 11 High School. Both players whose names are called, please assemble at the match venue!"

This time, it wasn't Mu Yun leading the way, but two students from other high schools.

Mu Yun had a good impression of both of these students.

The former has a small, powerful fist stone, and he is very skilled at using a circular and rolling motion with his hand, making him one of the stronger individuals among the twenty-one people.

The latter is entirely because this guy is quite unique; he has a huge sunflower drawn on the back of his school uniform and a tuft of green bangs on his forehead.

As for his spirit, it was a sunflower monster.

A sprite that looks a lot like a sunflower.

Its special ability is also good; it's Solar Power, which increases Special Attack.

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

[Solar Power: In clear weather, Special Attack is increased by 50%, but using moves will consume additional Energy and Stamina.]

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

Sunflower is a Pokémon with low speed but extremely high special attack, so Solar Power is very suitable for it.

In addition, he also has moves such as Growth, Root, and Dawn, making him a very good turret-type Pokémon.

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

[Growth: Slightly increases body size, boosting Attack and Special Attack.]

[Rooting: The roots penetrate the ground, continuously restoring stamina.]

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

If this were a turn-based game, a Sunflower of the same level would have almost no chance of losing to a Geodude that is four times weaker than Grass.

Unfortunately, real combat isn't a simple exchange of blows.

After being polished on a rock, the small geode actually moves quite fast when it rolls continuously.

It even caused the sunflower monster to scramble and panic at one point.

Unfortunately, the green-haired man quickly regained his composure and, in a trade of injuries, planted the parasitic seed on Geodude.

As the seed grew wildly, it transformed into thick vines that tightly bound the rapidly spinning little fist stone.

Thus, the match came to a conclusion.

The Sunflower Monster has won.

The following matches were all quite ordinary, and Mu Yun was getting sleepy watching them.

"The two players competing in the seventh match of the second round are Mu Yun, player number 6 from Songjiang No.1 High School, and Tan Feng, player number 3 from Songjiang No.3 High School. Please come to the match venue when your names are called!"

Finally, Mu Yun heard his name called from the referee's mouth.

Soon, Mu Yun and the contestant named Tan Feng stood on the high platforms on either side of the battlefield.

Tan Feng was an ordinary boy of short stature. He had no strange hairstyle, nor did he alter his clothes. He looked just like any other ordinary high school student you would see on a high school campus.

I was also very impressed with his elf, Muyun.

It's an elf that looks a bit like a coconut tree, with coconut eggs hanging from its top—the Coconut Egg Tree!

Exeggutor, the evolved form of Egg.

Many people may not be familiar with this elf.

However, its variant, Alolan Exeggutor, was always a hot topic among forum users in its previous life because it possessed the Dragon attribute.

Charizard, Gyarados, and Aerodactyl are all powerful and look like dragons, but none of them have the Dragon type. It is Exeggutor, which is the least dragon-like of all, that has the Dragon type.

All I can say is that elves are indeed magical creatures.

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

Like Bingbing, Exeggutor also requires Exeggutor to use a Leaf Stone to evolve.

As you can tell from the panel, the Leaf Stone used for this egg is not of high quality, and it does not provide any additional bonuses other than evolution.

This is normal, after all, high-quality evolution stones are much more expensive than Elite-level potential Exeggcutes.

"Both Pokémon are in position, let the match begin!" Butterfree, the referee, dutifully announced after seeing Beedrill and Exeggutor enter the arena.

"Exeggutor, use the Reflective Wall!"

Tan Feng spoke immediately after the referee finished speaking.

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

[Reflect: A Psychic-type move that creates a semi-transparent wall in front of you to block physical attacks of a certain power.]

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

Unlike the damage reduction in the game, both the Reflective Wall and the Light Wall generate a semi-transparent defensive wall that can block attacks after being released.

However, the maximum defense capability varies depending on the user's level.

Tan Feng's idea was very simple.

Use a reflective barrier to block Beedrill's melee attacks, then cast Hypnosis at point-blank range.

If the hypnosis is successful, use the parasitic seed to bind it, preventing it from having the chance to continue attacking after waking up.

In this way, no matter how fast Beedrill flies, it will be of no use!

Just as he expected, Mu Yun shouted the command "Cross-cut!" as soon as the referee finished speaking.

"Nice!"

On one side of the field, Tan Feng, upon hearing Mu Yun's command, smiled slightly, clearly in high spirits.

With an expectant look in his eyes, the giant bee, transformed into a bright yellow streak of light, swiftly arrived in front of the Exeggutor.

At this moment, the Exeggutor had already deployed its reflective barrier, waiting for the arrival of the Beedrill.

"That's it, prepare to use hypnosis!" Tan Feng shouted urgently as he watched the approaching Beedrill, seemingly afraid that the beedrill would use its speed to create distance when it realized it couldn't break through the reflective barrier.

"Screech!!"

The Exeggutor responded, and the three Exeggutors with facial features looked at the approaching Beedrill, appearing ready to attack at any moment.

However, the moment the giant bee approached, the thick, semi-transparent reflective barrier, to Tan Feng's incredulous gaze, seemed as if it were made of paper, and shattered with a crack.

Then, the powerful silver needles struck the coconut egg in the center of the coconut tree.

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%!

Bug-type moves are increased in power by 200%!

boom!!

The nearly two-meter-tall coconut palm, like a tree uprooted by a typhoon, crashed onto the edge of the guardrail with a bang.

The three coconut-faced creatures, with their facial features, didn't even have time to show any signs of pain before being stunned by this Bug-type move, which was four times more effective against them, triggering their near-death protection mechanism.

They transformed into three pairs of mosquito coil eyes.

[Ding! Beedrill (26) defeated Exeggutor (20). Permanent Quest 1: Battle Completed. The opponent's level was detected to be lower than yours. Congratulations, host, your reward is halved, you have gained 5 points!]

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

[Ding! Target detected as Short-Term Task 6: Provincial Joint Examination I. Bonus points awarded: 40!]

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

"Exeggutor is unable to fight; the winner is the red team's Beedrill!"

"???"

Tan Feng stared at the fallen coconut tree, his face full of questions.

No, although Psychic-types are weak to Bug-types, Exeggutor's Reflect shouldn't break so easily, right?

Tan Feng didn't understand, and put on a mask of pain...
