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

"?"

In the spectator area, Zhu Mingze watched the Tyrannosaurus Rex fly backward, then looked at the Beedrill that seemed to have been unharmed, and looked at Qin Yilin with a question mark on his face.

"Didn't you say he was skilled with poison?"

With the power of that one shot and the speed of it flying across half the field in an instant, you're telling me that his specialty is actually poison?

"Based on intelligence analysis, this Beedrill does indeed have a more potent venom. Perhaps it changed during its training in the secret realm."

After thinking for a moment, Qin Yilin could only come up with this explanation.

To be honest, she was, after all, a direct descendant of a top family in the capital, and had seen countless geniuses.

But today was the most shocking day for her.

Because the Pokémon in question is neither a powerful pseudo-legendary, nor a rare Pokémon, nor a relatively common but strong starter Pokémon.

It's just a bee that can be found anywhere and lives at the bottom of the food chain.

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

Qin Yilin and Zhu Mingze's shock was not an isolated case. In fact, everyone around who was watching the battle had a look of disbelief on their faces.

The same applies to Ma Yue, which is a little further away.

As a regional superstar, what kind of situation hasn't he seen?

But this is the first time I've ever seen something like this.

"This Beedrill is quite high-level..."

Its speed in that fleeting moment was probably no less than that of a top-tier Pokémon.

But can a Pokémon that has been trained for only a year reach the Overlord level?

"Could it be that it has received the favor of some unknown Bug-type legendary Pokémon?"

Ma Yue secretly guessed.

Besides that, he really couldn't think of any reason why a giant bee could be so strong.

Relying on the trainer's talent?

Don't be ridiculous. Anyone who becomes a regional superstar is exceptionally talented, and even so, no one can reach that level in just one year.

This is beyond the reach of human capability...

"It's a pity the champion isn't here, otherwise we could have let her see it."

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

Amidst the shocked and incredulous gazes of the crowd, Mu Yun calmly put Xiao Du away.

He was already used to being surrounded by so many eyes.

It's nothing more than going from high school classmates to strangers in their senior year of high school.

"Brother Yun, you're amazing!"

Back in the audience area, Chi Duoduo excitedly jumped over.

Mu Yun pulled her into a tight embrace.

Today, he is no longer the weakling who would back down if Chi Duoduo gave him a bear hug.

After the initial excitement subsided, Chi Duoduo slid off Mu Yun and leaned against him, her face flushed.

Although Mu Yun had finished the match and left the field, the surrounding discussions did not subside at all.

After all, everyone here is a genius, and the battles are mostly back and forth. If a ruthless killer suddenly appears, anyone would be terrified.

Of course, none of this has anything to do with Mu Yun.

Aside from checking other people's Pokémon stats before each new battle, he would chat with Chi Duoduo and Lü Jiayi.

To be precise, he was listening to Lü Jiayi talk.

She could basically name all sixty-four people who appeared.

This allowed Mu Yun to learn a great deal about the powerful families and clans in various regions.

Soon, the battles of the top 32 were drawing to a close.

After a short ten-minute break, the round of 16 matches began immediately.

Just like in the previous match, Mu Yun sent out Xiao Du, who ended the battle in a second with an astonishingly fast speed.

This time, the gasps from those around them were even louder.

After the round of 16, it's time for the quarterfinals.

With Mu Yun's strength, he still had no obstacles.

Unfortunately, both Chi Duoduo and Lü Jiayi have been eliminated.

Even Qin Yilin unfortunately fell short of the quarterfinals.

Because her opponent was Liu Hesheng.

One of the most likely candidates to win the championship.

The quarterfinals were quickly coming to an end.

The finalists are Ling Ruijie, Liu Hesheng, Zhu Mingze, and Mu Yun!

"The Northeast region is really impressive this year; three of the top four are from the Northeast."

"After all, they are direct descendants of the Ling and Liu families. One is the number one ice-type family in the alliance, and the other was once the number one ghost-type family. It's normal for them to be strong."

"What about that guy named Mu Yun?"

"...The Northeast region is so big, it's normal for a genius to emerge from here once in a while!"

"........."

"Next up is the first match of the semifinals. Please welcome the two competitors to the arena!"

Amidst the murmurs of the crowd, the referee's loud voice rang out.

Upon hearing this, Zhu Mingze and Ling Ruijie stood up at the same time.

"Ice-type versus Fire-type, that's going to be tough!"

Beside Mu Yun, Lü Jiayi sighed.

"really."

Mu Yun nodded.

Ling Ruijie is very strong, but unfortunately, Zhu Mingze is even stronger and has an attribute advantage.

Just then, Zhu Mingze and Ling Ruijie on the field threw out Poké Balls together.

Ling Ruijie's pet is still Weavile, but its level has increased from level 38 when they first met to level 40, crossing the threshold of elite level.

They were the only two students present, besides Mu Yun, who had reached the elite level.

The other one is Zhu Mingze.

The Duckbill Flame Dragon is a humanoid Pokémon with arms shaped like cannons and its entire body engulfed in extremely hot flames.

High-level Duckbill Flame Dragons can even move freely in the terrifyingly hot lava.

Not to mention Zhu Mingze's.
