Gible wants to be a trainer

Chapter 186 I, in my humble opinion, am barely a half-genius.

"Looks like I've lost this round."

Looking at the Tank Skunk on the field that was unleashing a gymnastics-level energy surge, Ye Ci not only didn't feel annoyed, but instead showed an extremely carefree smile.

"Sinnoh...it really is an interesting place where talented people emerge."

"Click! (If you ever come to Sinnoh again, just let me know, and I'll arrange for the Sinnoh Elite Four to personally accompany you, guaranteeing top-notch service!)"

Lu Sha chuckled and patted his chest, taking it all in.

If a Gym-level Tank Skunk can still be defeated by a Pro-level Blaziken, then the entire Seaside Academy might as well drop out.

Shark is in a great mood now that he got a Roaring Tail for free.

"The Four Heavenly Kings will personally receive me? I'm starting to get tempted."

Ye Ci smiled slightly and readily agreed: "After this Academy Cup concludes, I will definitely pay a visit to Sinnoh."

There are so many interesting people in Sinnoh, and she wants to see them for herself.

"Click! (No problem, I've got this covered!)"

""

While the two chatted, the individual competition below had already come to an end.

With overwhelming numerical superiority, Suixing won the match without any suspense, bringing the overall score to 1-1.

Ye Ci didn't care much about winning or losing this match from the beginning.

Orange Academy is unlikely to overcome Celebration Academy. Whoever wins or loses between these two academies today will not have a significant impact on Padia.

She is quite strong, and can even defeat Cattleya unexpectedly.

But the prerequisite is that she has the opportunity to meet the other party.

Zhuqing Academy's overall strength is so great that it's almost despair-inducing.

No, it's probably not just Zhuqing Academy; the overall strength of Sinnoh is very strong.

The fact that a school ranked third in Sinnoh could have such a profound foundation truly gave her a new assessment of Sinnoh's overall strength.

The following 5v5 arena matches, although they required at least five games, ended quite quickly.

When Daigo released Metagross with a stern face, this farcical comeback by the Seaside Academy came to an end.

Under absolute dominance, Binhai College was swept out of the competition.

"Today's winner is... German Academy!"

As the referee's whistle blew, the entire stadium erupted in deafening cheers, wildly celebrating the victory of the German Academy.

Although the final score was 2-1, the German Academy's victory was somewhat embarrassing, even losing face as a home team, but at least they secured the final win.

In competitive matches, winning is often the most important thing.

As for how to deal with the war criminals after the match, that's a matter for online discussion.

Now that we're in person, we need to maintain a respectable demeanor as viewers.

"Tomorrow is our turn to play in the knockout stage."

As he was about to leave, Ye Ci turned around, his previous relaxed demeanor replaced by an intensely serious gaze as he looked at Lu Sha and Cattleya: "If we are fortunate enough to meet on the field, I hope you will give it your all."

"Crack! (Full power? Are you sure?)"

Lu Sha raised his non-existent shark eyebrows and looked Ye Ci up and down with a strange expression.

Want to witness our full power?

Do you really know what our current all-out effort means?

Even the Heavenly King Genji has fallen.

Are you sure you can handle it in your current state?

"I'm absolutely sure!"

Ye Ci smiled, and when she heard Lu Sha's slightly arrogant question, her interest only grew stronger.

According to the intelligence video leaked from the Kanto Alliance, everyone believes that Cattleya's current strength is roughly at the level of the Elite Four of the region.

After all, judging from her record, she easily crushed Lorelei and Shiba, but ultimately lost to Lance.

Although the defeat wasn't too bad, and Lu Sha was only a professional at the time.

Even Wataru himself admitted in public that if they had fought a few more times, he might have been the one to lose.

Judging from Lu Sha's tone, it seems that the previous battles didn't force them to use their full strength at all.

This is...so interesting.

Well, it's not the strength aspect that's interesting, but the event itself.

As for the match itself, Ye Ci is more concerned about things outside the arena.

The outcome of the all-out battle against Cattleya is not the most important thing.

Most importantly, Padia can prove his strength, just like Carlos did last year.

Yeci extended his hand, slowly straightened his clothes, and then looked solemnly at Lu Sha: "Let me reintroduce myself. I am Yeci from Patia, and also the strongest trainer in Patia, twenty-one years old."

As she finished speaking, she deliberately emphasized the number twenty-one.

She became a trainer relatively late, but that doesn't mean she's weak.

She has been honing herself since she was sixteen.

In other words, given the same amount of time spent raising Pokémon, she has at least three more years of training time.

In terms of individual combat ability, she is confident that she is no less capable than anyone in the Academy Cup.

Even if the woman in front of her, known as a born champion, were to use her trump card, she might not be able to completely overpower her.

Ye Ci bowed slightly, performing an impeccable chest-touching salute, and finally declared war in a soft voice: "Chief Cattleya, although it may be somewhat dishonorable to bully the weak, if we meet on the field, I will give it my all and use the full strength of Padia to win this match."

Oh ho, so you've come here to spout tough talk before the war?

Lu Sha remained silent for a moment.

Just as he was frantically racking his brains, preparing to come up with some witty retorts, Cattleya, who was resting with her eyes closed in his arms, suddenly opened them.

The young lady didn't even look at Ye Ci directly, only glancing at her casually out of the corner of her eye. Her voice rang directly in Lu Sha's mind: "Her aura is almost at the threshold of Champion level. However, there's a ball on her waist containing a Champion-level Pokémon."

However, the aura was completely out of sync with her, indicating that she hadn't trained him personally; he seemed like a thug she had temporarily borrowed.

Huh? You actually have some in stock?

Lu Sha gasped, his shark-like eyes widening in astonishment.

It's important to know that even players like Steven and Wallace only barely reached the threshold of the Elite Four level before, and at most only their ace Pokémon reached the Elite Four level.

But this guy in front of me is not only a near-champion, but he also has a trump card hidden in his pocket.

This is far beyond what was expected from Pinglu Sand.

With this lineup, she could easily reach the top 16 in the World Championships. You call this the kind of lineup for the Academy Cup?

What happened to the babies pecking at each other's cups?

Bringing a boosted account to smurf a smurf account, isn't that a bit too much of a gamble?

If Gadriya doesn't make a breakthrough, she might actually risk a disaster when facing this overpowered woman tomorrow.

"Click! (As you wish, I will use all my strength. But I also hope you can give me a pastime worth remembering.)"

Lu Sha retorted arrogantly, but in his mind he was making rapid calculations.

Judging from the young lady's disdainful tone, the champion Pokémon in Ye Ci's hand is most likely a dominant force in the wild of Padia, which Ye Ci captured by chance and then brought in as a helper in the competition.

Tsk tsk, what a lack of martial ethics.

"I will never let you down."

Ye Ci responded with a smile, showing no anger at Lu Sha's arrogant words, and her manners remained impeccable.

After bowing, she turned around and disappeared into the departing crowd, leaving behind only a confident silhouette.

She admitted that Cattleya was very strong.

She was so powerful that even if the two of them were the same age of sixteen, she would still be crushed into dust by the other party, no matter how many methods she used.

Even if she were only as old as Daigo, her chances of winning against Cattleya would still be zero.

However, the decade from 16 to 25 years old is the period when trainers' strength grows the fastest.

With each additional year of reflection, a genius trainer's strength can experience a qualitative leap.

And coincidentally, she could also be considered a semi-genius.
