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

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

[Ding! Aggron (50) defeated Electro Dragon (61). Permanent Quest 1: Battle Completed. The opponent's level is significantly higher than yours. Congratulations, host! You have gained 61 points. Aggron's growth level has received a moderate boost!]

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

[Ding! Bossdora's growth level has increased after continuous efforts. Current level: 51!]

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

[Ding! Armored Warrior (53) defeated..........]

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

[Ding! Pidgeot (54) defeated..........]

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

"Damn, how come we can't even beat one of them!"

"Indeed, that one is faster than the Eagle Artoria, the Ice Ninetail has a wide attack range, the Magic Mask Meowth has quick reflexes, and the Aggron has strong defense. We simply can't beat it!"

"The most outrageous one is that armored warrior. He seems to have an even bigger temper than Infernape when he fights; he's a total berserker!"

"Everyone, be content. The captain didn't even use that Beedrill this time. If he had used Beedrill, we probably wouldn't have been able to hold out for long."

After the simple match, the school team members couldn't help but complain.

They were all top talents from Heijiang University, yet they seemed as helpless as babies when facing Muyun's elves.

If it were just one Pokémon, that would be one thing, but how come every single one of them is so strong!

"Alright, alright, that's enough. Go and get ready. The captain will be cooking tonight." Lai Kuan-ting announced casually after putting away the electric dragon.

Upon hearing that Mu Yun was going to cook himself, everyone immediately fell silent.

"Yay! Long live the captain!"

"The captain is the best, hooray!!"

"No wonder the captain's Pokémon is so strong! If I could eat the captain's cooking every day, I think I could manage!"

"Don't brag!"

After preparing a simple but delicious meal, Mu Yun strolled back to the villa area.

As soon as they entered the villa, a small figure rushed towards them.

The familiar scent of lavender made Mu Yun instantly realize what was going on.

Tonight, we'll attack the city!

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

During the following few days of holiday, since there were no classes, Mu Yun frequently traveled between the battle arena, the villa, and the city.

During that time, he also took the opportunity to visit the Black Snake Gang's territory.

The days passed quickly in a steady, progressive manner, and in the blink of an eye, the National Day holiday was drawing to a close.

The date for the Black Dragon Cup is drawing ever closer.

The Black Dragon Cup, officially known as the National Pokémon High School Tournament!

It is a super-large-scale competition that includes students from all universities in the Yanhuang Alliance.

In theory, all colleges with trainer programs are eligible to participate in this competition.

However, due to limited venue space and the fact that the second half of the competition will be broadcast live, it is natural to select the best of the best.

Only 64 teams were actually able to participate in the competition offline.

The way to compete for these preliminary round spots is through the Black Dragon Cup qualifiers.

It's worth mentioning that the preliminary rounds were held about two weeks before the National Day holiday.

The participating teams were from universities outside the top ten.

The top ten teams, due to their strong strength, have always been exempted from the preliminary rounds and directly advanced to the top 64.

Heijiang University is naturally among them.

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

[Ding! A short-term task has been detected that the host has triggered. The task has been loaded. Please check it yourself!]

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

On the last day of the National Day holiday, just as Mu Yun was preparing to return to his villa as usual, a system notification suddenly sounded.

Based on the specific time of the Black Dragon Cup competition that had just been posted in the group, Mu Yun immediately understood.

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

Note: Team and individual competition rewards are calculated separately.

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

"Storage space expansion card, move learning memory, advanced energy cube recipe, blank directional ability slot, and a second chance to enhance any Pokémon's ability—these rewards are really generous!"

Even Mu Yun couldn't help but feel a surge of joy upon seeing the champion's reward.

Each of these five rewards is quite good.

But what surprised him the most was that the team championship prize and the individual championship prize in the Black Dragon Cup were calculated separately!

In other words, this time the rewards can be doubled!

In other words, there will be two full blank slots for directional traits and two opportunities for secondary trait enhancement.

An absolutely fantastic harvest!

"So, who should we use to fight...?"
