You're the only one who knows how to battle Pokémon?

With Growlithe's strength, it shouldn't be difficult for it to advance to the knockout round, but Ji Bei is not particularly confident that he can win against these powerful trainers.

How about... a little special training?

It's better to cram at the last minute than to kick the Buddha and let him go!

He went downstairs and found his Pokémon in the yard. Growlithe was running around the pond, exercising its athletic ability.

On the side was Xin Ye Miao, giving instructions with great vigor and energy.

"Meow! Meow! Meow meow meow!"

"Woof! Awoof!"

Under the command of New Leaf Cat, Growlithe made smooth movements one after another.

Even, a blazing flame ignited in front of its mouth, which took the shape of teeth. Under its fierce bite, the rocks on the shore were crushed to pieces!

Moreover, the broken stones were still burning until they were reduced to ashes.

This is exactly the skill that Professor Houndoom gave it, "Fire Fang"!

After mastering this move, Growlithe was very happy and jumped for joy.

It can finally use real fire skills. After all, will-o'-the-wisp has no damage, but Fire Fang is a real attack skill!

"The case has been solved. The fire skills were also taught by Xinye Miao!"

Ji Bei murmured to himself. He once suspected that Growlithe was instructed by an "unknown big shot", but he never thought that the culprit was his own cat.

How can you, a grass-type New Leaf Cat, teach fire-type skills? Is this legal?

Moreover, the power of the Fire Fang didn't seem like it was just learned! It reminded Ji Bei of the sea of ​​fire that Caterpie had created that day!

What's even more shocking is yet to come. Under the command of Cat, Caterpillar actually split into two and used a "stand-in"!

Moreover, one of the Growlithes had red "flame fangs" burning in its mouth, while the other one was using blue "will-o'-the-wisp"!

"Use Flame Fang to feint, and then cast Will-O-Wisp to apply abnormal debuff?"

Ji Bei quickly simulated the execution in his mind. If the opponent was not a truly powerful trainer, it would be almost impossible for him to break through this combination of punches.

Once a physical attacker is burned, coupled with the intimidating nature of Growlithe, no matter how high the attack power is, it can only scratch the surface!

"Well, I think Xinye Miao can do a better job in training than me!" He sighed with mixed feelings.

I never thought about becoming a trainer before, but it happened now, and the trainer is Neoleaf!

Perhaps it was it who persuaded Growlithe to join the team that morning under the bridge!

"New Leaf, Catwoman, I..."

"I'm here to bring you food!"

Originally Ji Bei wanted to say, "I'm here to train you," but when he thought about the fact that he had let the two Pokémon run wild for so long without paying any attention to their desire to become stronger, Ji Bei felt somewhat ashamed.

When he saw how well Xinye Miaoxun and Growlithe were training, he really didn't have the face to say that.

Well, luckily I brought some trial-made “Shenglong Dumplings” with me.

"After eating this plate of 'Shenglong Dumplings', I wish you great success!" Ji Bei smiled like an old father.

At least, he has made the contribution of a "nanny", so it shouldn't be considered a pendant!

Damn it! After seeing the strength of his Pokémon, his dream of becoming a Pokémon master has been rekindled, but in reality, he seems to be more suitable to be a cook?

“Meow!” “Woof!”

Creatureleaf and Growlithe rushed over. After Ji Bei's cooking skills improved, eating his food every day was the happiest time for the two Pokémon.

In addition to being delicious, Ji Bei's food seems to be able to enhance the energy and physical fitness of the Pokémon itself, and the effect is comparable to that of top-level energy cubes!

Even with the memories of his peak period, it is an indisputable fact that New Leaf Cat is born with a weak constitution.

Originally, it was estimated that it would not be able to recover its fighting power too quickly, but because of Ji Bei's cooking, its physical strength was significantly improved, which greatly promoted Xinye Miao's plan!

At least, it is confident of winning this "Dream Cup"!

Chapter 53: Group stage, can Jibao get off the stage?

A week has passed, the young trainers have shown their skills in the preliminaries, the battle atmosphere has become more and more intense, and the group stage of 16 to 8 is finally about to begin.

This shows that the competition will be extremely intense!

To everyone’s surprise, four people from this year’s red class advanced to the group stage, and they were Ji Bei and his three “good boys”!

Yan Zimin was dressed in a maid outfit, revealing a lot of her snow-white skin. She served tea and water to Ji Bei and the other three with a forced smile, and frantically told them to do their best in the competition.

"Sister Yan, you're working too hard. You don't have to force yourself like this." Ji Bei was really a little overwhelmed.

And you still say he is out of tune? You, as a counselor, don't have many subordinates? Isn't it too much to say that you are "unworthy of being a teacher"?

Are teachers still distributing benefits here?

"You don't know! In order to obtain the qualification of a doctoral student, I have to work as a 'tutor' and do odd jobs! And the 'Dream Cup' is my first achievement after taking office!"

"You, a freshman like you who was invited by Dr. Mulan to be an assistant, wouldn't understand!"

"Don't underestimate life!"

"One day, I will become a Pokémon doctor!"

Yan Zimin made a bold statement, which was very impressive. Although she was still a beauty, her words and nerves were too bold, and Ji Bei could almost see her abdominal muscles in his eyes.

"Great! Don't bully the poor middle-aged people! Sister Yan wins the cup!" The students in the red class applauded in unison. They came here to cheer for the four brothers of Ji Bei.

"Bang!" Yan Zimin, with a smile on his face, pounded the desk hard, splitting it in half like chopping wood with his bare hands.

"I'm only 22 years old!"

At that moment, her graceful figure exuded an aura that was enough to create the world, frightening all the students in the red class, and they all trembled with fear, sighing in their hearts:

Old women are so scary!

"I'm only 22 years old!" Yan Zimin felt these gazes and repeated this fact in a very gloomy tone.

"Don't underestimate the adult world!"

It's as if everyone here is not an adult.

Can I go to college if I am not an adult?

Ji Bei gave up arguing because his name was chosen in the lottery broadcast.

However, when he stood on the playing field, he found that things were not simple.

At first glance, Hongban and many netizens held up banners, but where was Ji Bei's name on them?

"Come on New Leaf! Come on Growlithe!"

"The strongest trainer, New Leaf, Meowth!"

"Cat, cat, you are my mother's treasure!"

Because of its cute appearance and calm command without any moral index, NeoLeaf has gained a large number of fans. Almost every trainer knows that there is such a Pokémon that can replace the functions of the trainer, and they are full of envy and hatred towards Ji Bei.

Even on the campus network, many people openly plotted how to kidnap Leafmeow and use it to command Pokémon for them!

But after noticing that Ji Bei was the commander today, the audience's cheers turned into boos.

"Why is Jibao here? Damn it, I want to see Xinye Miao's command!"

"Get out of here, coach! Let's have some fried fish in the 'Baby Cup', not Bilian!"

"Question! Is it a violation for a Pokémon to walk up to the command seat? I mean sending a Pokémon!"

Ji Bei: ???

"First of all, I'm the trainer of New Leaf Meowth!"

"No! You are not!" The trainer on the opposite side denied this in a righteous manner.

"Coach Ji! I'm your fan!" he shouted at the top of his lungs.

"I don't have a fan like you!" Ji Bei also responded at the top of his voice.

Can he still play? He is not young and knows that beating up idols is a traditional skill of fans.

If possible, Ji Bei wants to remove this debuff first!

"Stop chatting! Player Ji Bei, Player Lu Nan!"

"If you don't release the Pokémon, it will be treated as a forfeit!"

The referee teacher stopped them from talking nonsense in time. You know, the game time is very tight and she can't leave work if she doesn't finish it early.

Especially today, not being able to see Xinye Miao in command made her feel extremely depressed.

On weekdays, I rely on petting cats to heal my physical fatigue!

"Oh oh oh..."

The two took out their Poké Balls and prepared to start the battle.

Catwoman vs Metal Monster.

Ji Bei:?

How come the quasi-gods are here? Who is frying the fish? It’s not even the knockout round yet!

"Could it be that you are the trainer who is rumored to use the quasi-god Pokémon?" Ji Bei stretched out his right hand and tried to lower the brim of his hat, but he was not wearing a hat at all.

"No, I'm just a fan who happened to pass by." Lu Nan said in a serious tone.

"Because of the characteristics of the metal monster's 'eternal purity', Caterpie's 'intimidation' is ineffective!"

Pokémon with the Eternally Pure Body trait will not, under normal circumstances, be reduced in ability by the moves and traits of their opponents or companions, making it a qualified intimidation countermeasure.

As for why it was just passing? Because there were intimidation strategies such as "refusing to admit defeat" and "being competitive" that could get full marks!

"But, your attributes are suppressed." Ji Bei was speechless.

Why would someone become a reverse attribute leader just to counter intimidation?

"Hehe." Lu Nan smiled mysteriously.

"Others may not know this, but I've been your fan for ten years. I've heard you complain about Karti not knowing fire skills every day in the live broadcast room. I've gotten calluses from hearing you complain!"

"It should be able to use the 'Will-O-Wisp' move now!"

"Woof?" Growlithe glanced at its trainer with an unfriendly look. Ji Bei begged for mercy calmly and promised to add a chicken leg to its dinner.

Fortunately, this type of Pokémon is extremely loyal. If it were New Leaf, it would have bitten him at least a little.

"The first to strike will win! Metal Monster, mental hammer!" Facing the "master-level" trainer in his mind, Lu Nan certainly would not hold back and was ready to fight with all his strength from the beginning.

The power of this skill is not too high, but considering the baby cup with "flame", "water gun" and "leaf" per person, it can be considered a powerful blow.

The intimidation feature did not take effect. Growlithe's physical endurance was not very high, so it was difficult for it to take the attack.

"Karti, use help!"

As a pink light flashed on the metal monster's forehead and it charged with great force, a white hand appeared above its head, constantly patting its back, encouraging it to attack with all its might.

"Police dogs" trained for team operations naturally have a high level of proficiency in this trick.

"Oh my god! This is definitely Coach Ji's real body!"

After all, Ji Bei is the only trainer in the world who is as capable as him. Facing the full-strength attack of Metal Monster, not only did he not dodge, he even helped it increase the power of its skills!

Ji Bei smiled slightly. He knew a very simple truth——

"If you want to hit, there will be no power. If you want power, there will be no hit. There will be some side effects!"

When Pokémon uses its moves, it is often difficult to use its full strength in order to ensure that it hits the target, as this is extremely demanding on coordination.

A more powerful Pokémon might be able to control the sudden change in power, but it's clear that Metal Monster doesn't have that much experience!

Then, if the moves it performs suddenly become more powerful, the only consequence is that it misses the target!

Caterpie slightly turned sideways and effortlessly dodged the attack of the "Mind Hammer". Then three beams of blue flames burned in front of its mouth, merging together and causing a violent explosion.

Ghost fire!
