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

Midnight, in the conference room of Southwest University of Insects.

"Ah Rui, how are we going to fight Hei Da tomorrow?"

The speaker was a young man with dark, reddish skin.

He is Liu Yuyang, the captain of Southwest Insect University and the key player who led his team to defeat Southwest University.

Sitting next to him was a young woman with similarly dark skin.

Qiao Rui is the vice-captain of the Southwest University of Insects and also the team's strategist.

She was in charge of the tactical arrangements that led to the previous victory against Southwest University.

"Let me think..."

Qiao Rui didn't look up, but carefully looked at the paper documents on the table.

It contains information on all members of Heijiang University who have participated in battles so far, as well as the three Pokémon that Muyun has already used in battles.

A moment later, Qiao Rui leaned back, closed her eyes, and rubbed her temples.

Hei Da's tactics are very simple, so simple that almost anyone can see through them.

However, it is precisely because the tactics are simple that they are even more troublesome.

Behind the extremely simple tactics lies the opponent's extremely powerful combat strength.

"Do we really have absolutely no chance?"

Seeing that Qiao Rui hadn't spoken for a long time, Liu Yuyang asked somewhat unwillingly.

He endured so much hardship to tame the bursting mosquitoes, all for the sake of showcasing his talent at the Black Dragon Cup and leading his team to a good ranking!

Although his initial goal was to reach the quarterfinals, now that he has actually come this far, he still wants to go even further.

Seeing Liu Yuyang's unwilling look, Qiao Rui sighed, stared straight at him, and said, "It's not like there's absolutely no chance."

"You mean, let Feifei go?"

Liu Yuyang seemed to have thought of something, and her expression immediately became conflicted.

"Pheromone's bone age is just over four years old, which meets the age requirement for the Black Dragon Cup, and you also know her strength," Qiao Rui said.

Back in that special secret realm, Liu Yuyang brought back more than one new type of Pokémon.

Instead, there are two.

One of them was the muscle-bursting mosquito he won over through relentless training.

Secondly, there is a snow-white, tall, humanoid insect-type Pokémon—Pheromosa.

While the powerful Buzzwole is formidable, the Pheromosa, with its agility, speed, and strength, and even greater natural talent, is far more powerful.

However, just like the pufferfish mosquito, the pheromone is also a rather arrogant creature.

If you want her to play, you'll have to pay a price.

Liu Yuyang: "Would sending Fei Fei guarantee a win?"

"It's hard to say, but we only have a chance to win if we bring out the Pheromone!" Jo Rui said.

Upon hearing this, Liu Yuyang rubbed his kidneys, gritted his teeth, and said, "Fine, I'll have a good talk with her tonight!"

Qiao Rui nodded: "Tomorrow, You Fengxian and I will go out to help you wear down your opponent's stamina. After that, you can send Pheromosa out to trigger its ability. That will increase your chances of winning."

"Um......"

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

The next day.

Shanghai International Battle Arena.

"Welcome everyone to the National Pokémon High School Tournament! I'm your host, Aro!"

"This is our special guest today, Ms. Liu Miaogan!"

Good morning everyone, I'm Liu Miaogan~~

A cute girl with a baby face appeared on the screen.

Her adorable dimples and sweet voice instantly captivated many viewers.

"It's actually Liu Miaogan. The authorities must have some influence. I heard she rarely takes on work other than acting."

Inside the lounge of Heilongjiang University, Wei Yang looked at the girl on the screen with surprise.

"Liu Miaogan?"

The name sounded somewhat familiar to him. After thinking for a moment, he finally remembered where he had heard the name before.

Previously, when Bingbing was watching a drama, there was a nine-tailed actress named "Ajiu" who gave Bingbing ideas on how to enhance her abilities.

The trainer's name is Liu Miaogan.

As a popular Pokémon trainer, Liu Miaogan herself is also very popular, but apart from acting with Pokémon, she rarely participates in commercial activities.

"She is a member of the main branch of the Liu family in Sichuan. Acting is just a hobby for her, so she would not participate in those activities for money."

Liu Yizhong explained to Wei Yang from the side.

The Liu family of Sichuan is also a renowned family, specializing in fire-based techniques, and their lineage has a long history.

"No wonder!" Wei Yang nodded knowingly.

During the casual conversation, the atmosphere at the stadium was already ignited.

The first round of the competition began quickly.

The two teams participating were Huadu University and Shanhe University.

The opening act was a clash between the top ten.

Huadu University is located in Huadu and specializes in grass and poison types, making it notoriously difficult to deal with.

Shanhe University is a rare multi-attribute university, with excellent achievements in many attributes, and is known as a jack-of-all-trades.

Among them are Fire and Flying types, which are effective against Grass-type Pokémon.

Unfortunately, the reason why Huadu is considered one of the top five is because of its generally stronger overall strength.

If this had happened in the earlier rounds, the outcome would have been uncertain.

However, under the 6-3 system, the stronger Huadu team still relied on its hard power to win the game with an impressive record of four players for every six players, securing the first semi-final spot.

Later, Shanghai University encountered Xindu University.

Although both are among the top five, there is still a significant gap in their strength.

As before, Magic University secured its second semi-final spot with only four players losing.

The third match was between Teito University and Mizuki University.

Both universities are located in the capital city, and their strength and status are unique among many universities.

No one expected that these two universities would clash ahead of schedule.

The process was naturally a fierce battle, which kept the audience thoroughly entertained.

As a result, Tsinghua University won the game by a narrow margin and successfully advanced.

"The final round of the quarterfinals will be Heijiang University versus Southwest Insect University!"

"The former is our long-established high school with a glorious past, and today it has produced an exceptional talent; the other is a dark horse high school that has just emerged this year. What kind of sparks will fly when these two schools collide? Let's wait and see!"

As the host announced his arrival, Lai Kuan-ting stepped onto the command platform.

That's right, the first player to go out in this match was not Ling Qingying, but Lai Guanting, who was the vice captain.

Ling Qingying doesn't particularly enjoy combat, and given her strength, she could be left for later. Therefore, Mu Yun arranged for her to fight on the fifth day.

Standing opposite Lai Kuan-ting was a short and thin young man named Yu Feng.

Its starting Pokémon is a level 57 Iron Mask Ninja.

Bug + Flying type.

This is a Pokémon with average base stats but extremely high speed.

As for Lai Kuan-ting, he sent out his electric scooter, Haiyan.

With both being at the peak of the Overlord level and possessing equally impressive speed, their battle can be described as an extreme duel between two speeds.

As a result, Lai Kuan-ting naturally won by trading one for three.

Despite the defeat, You Feng was not discouraged at all.

His purpose was simply to help the captain wear down the opponent's stamina; whether they won or not wasn't that important.

After You Feng was eliminated, Qiao Rui followed the plan and became the second to appear.

Her strength was similar to Yu Fengxiang's; after sacrificing three Pokémon, she only managed to replace Lai Guanting's Magneton.

As for the electric dragon, it only consumed some of its energy.

However, that's enough.

Despite her back pain, Liu Yuyang stood resolutely on the command platform.

He reached out and touched it; a flawless white Poké Ball, as clear as transparent jade, appeared in his palm.
