What is a heavy girl? I want to be a Pokémon master!

This is already the strength before Mega Evolution. If it were Mega Evolution, its strength would far surpass the other starter Pokémon, and it would be able to learn a wide variety of moves!

I miss you, Maga Evolution.

Ash felt a deep longing for Mega Evolution.

He took out his phone, focused his gaze on the screen, and suddenly discovered that Su Shi had sent him a large number of messages.

"Su Shi, you really are as caring as a mother."

Xiao Zhi sighed, wondering why he could always feel maternal instincts in the other person.

Motoyo Nagasaki is the woman who could be his mother!

[...I don't think so. She's probably just a yandere who's clinging to you.]

The emotionally intelligent Ms. Frico couldn't help but want to explain to Ash, but she had already given up on the idea of ​​making him notice the group of women's romance.

Currently, as an emotional advisor, Frico is becoming increasingly interested in the development of their relationship.

As for the system's functionality? It's too useless and didn't satisfy Zhibao, I'm really sorry.

The message from Nagasaki Motoyo was quite simple: the 'Afro Buffalo Cup' was coming up soon, and he hoped that she could come to his house for training every day for the next few days.

Xiao Zhi: Of course, no problem!

After casually replying to the message, Xiao Zhi prepared to go home.

He just didn't notice that a young girl was watching him from a short distance away.

"Xiao Zhi and Xiao Xiang came out of the Eco Dome together, right? What's their relationship?"

Nagasaki Motoyo held her phone, staring at the message. Her eyes lost their luster, and the coldness in her heart was even greater than that of a May night.

Originally, she wanted to invite the club master-level player, Wakaba Mutsu, to join the team, but unexpectedly, Toyokawa Shoko beat her to it. When she happened to pass by, she discovered that Toyokawa Shoko had actually stolen her boyfriend.

What kind of Kentairo behavior is this?!

Su Shi, as the victim, strongly condemns this despicable tactic.

If she could, Su Shi would prefer to have a dark duel with Xiangzi to win back her boyfriend.

Although she probably knew that the two were not in a romantic relationship.

But if this continues, her friend (Wakaba Mutsumi) and boyfriend (Satoshi) will be taken away.

We must stop it first.

"Xiao Xiang will probably participate in the 'Afro Buffalo Cup,' so I'll let her know in advance..."

Su Shi took the Luxury Ball out of her skirt pocket and released the Pokémon inside.

Suddenly, a dragon-type Pokémon appeared, predominantly blue with black fur and three pairs of wings on its back.

"I'll use you to deal with her." Her face held a cold expression, but her eyes revealed a hint of dissatisfaction.

...

[Zhibao, was someone following us just now?]

"Hmm? I think so, but it doesn't matter. Our focus should be on the cup competition right now."

Ash's mood became increasingly cheerful as he trained with his three Pokémon.

After all, the 'Afro Buffalo Cup' competition is just around the corner!

The 43rd Cup match begins! (7th update)

With its vast size, Nijigasaki Academy provides a place for most students in the Kanto region to learn and grow, attracting all sorts of people from all directions.

In this big family, students learn from each other through Pokémon battles, hone their skills, and grow together.

The 'Afro Buffalo Cup' is a large-scale competition held throughout the entire Nijigasaki Academy, which is also the battleground.

You can participate in the competition individually or in teams. The battle rules are 1 vs 1 or 3 vs 3. Winning a battle will earn you battle points, and the amount of battle points depends on the number of Pokémon you have.

The entire school is equipped with surveillance cameras. Once a match is detected, the cameras will automatically identify the opponents and automatically tally the score for the winning side when the match ends.

The event lasts from 7:00 AM to 5:00 PM. The top ten finishers will have access to the Eco Dome, points, and move learning devices.

The power of science is truly amazing!

Xiao Zhi couldn't help but have this thought.

Cup tournaments are clearly more advantageous for teams with more Pokémon and more trainers, because that means they can participate in more battles and have more time to rest for their Pokémon and trainers.

Unfortunately, Ash currently only has 3 Pokémon, and his team only has 6 members, so he doesn't meet either of these conditions at all.

That is to say...

You will lose!

It's unlikely that we'll get first place. The teams aiming for victory are all packed with players, and while there are point adjustments for teams with fewer players, they're not significant.

Considering the stamina of both the Pokémon and myself, I need to rest for about 10 minutes after each battle, and I also need to rush to the cafeteria or a food stall at noon to buy food to replenish my energy.

This is Rainbow Feather, the most competitive school in the Kanto region, where everything has to be carefully considered.

For example, in overload battles, to prevent anyone from making things too difficult for the Pokémon and themselves, and to be able to quickly take care of the Pokémon after the battle, teams usually split into pairs to participate in the 'Afro Buffalo Cup'.

Currently, Ash is at a significant disadvantage because it's his first time participating in a tournament and he lacks experience.

However, Xiaozhi and his cheerful female friends are facing something even more difficult than this.

That is...

Team name!

"Have you even considered what to name your team?"

Su Shi recounted the incident indifferently. Originally, six people had gathered together to register for the team, but none of them had made a decision.

Last night she sent countless messages in the group, but none of them were read; she didn't check the group chat.

What use would I have for this group?!

Thinking of the unpleasantness of being ignored, Su Shi's gaze grew even colder.

If people knew that there was no communication before participating in such a large-scale event, they would probably be laughed at.

No matter what they say, I, Nagasaki Motoyo, have no intention of forgiving them!

Nagasaki Motoyo's eyes were resolute, her heart filled with a determination to refuse.

She gradually released her murderous aura, causing Chihaya Aine and Takamatsu Akari to tremble in fear.

"I'm sorry, Su Shi, I was completely absorbed in training last night. Can you forgive me?"

Xiao Zhi apologized to the other party with remorse.

These past few days, due to training, I haven't had time to come up with a team name, since their team is really not good enough.

He had been researching the school's top players and training the day before and hadn't noticed the messages in the group chat at all.

Xiao Zhi is apologizing to me.

A blush rose on Su Shi's face, and her heart raced like a deer's.

"It's okay, Ash, you'll be fine! You must have worked really hard yesterday!"

She put on the false mask called gentleness, and all the depression in her heart vanished.

Mom's glow is on full display!

Give the other person the gentlest experience.

Double standard dog!

Upon seeing this scene, Aine and Riki couldn't help but have this thought.

During this time together, the two of them had a general understanding of each other's feelings for Ash, but Aine had no intention of giving Ash to Sose.

Ever since that day when she deliberately ran away and was saved by Ash, Aine has felt that her heart is strange.

It's probably a romantic relationship!

Chihaya Aine, who possesses the heart of a normal young girl, probably understands the answer.

If that's the case, then it's impossible for her to be given to someone like Su Shi, who is two-faced and wicked, by Xiao Zhi.

Unfortunately, Aine can't express her feelings as honestly as Suze. Rather, it's like a clown who openly expresses his feelings but goes unnoticed by the other person. Perhaps he has evolved from a clown into a great clown.

"How about calling the team 'Ai Yin Guan Du'?"

To ease the tension, Aine came up with a team name, and upon hearing this, everyone's inner thought was 'impossible'.

"Are you kidding me?!" Li Xi immediately retorted vehemently.

Of all these, Aine is probably the one she dislikes the most; she's bad at it and loves to play around, so she really needs to be disciplined.

"I'm not kidding!"

"what?"

The two started arguing, and Ash's attention was unusually drawn to Friko.

[Zhibao, Zhibao, I have a task for you~~]

[Mission: Achieve a top-five finish in the 'Afro Buffalo Cup'. Reward: Keystone.]

Key Stone: A stone containing unknown power. It allows a Pokémon carrying a Mega Stone to Mega Evolve.

Hehehe~ Pretty impressive, right? Come on, praise me!

Generally speaking, Mega Evolution requires a Key Stone and a Mega Stone, but Ash doesn't have any Pokémon capable of Mega Evolution.

This means that having keystones is currently completely useless.

Xiao Zhi didn't know what to say, so he just gave a random reply in his mind.

"Thank you, Frico, you're a useful thing!"

【Waaaa~ Ash~ Love?~ Hehehe~ Let's date with marriage in mind.】

Stop acting crazy here!

Sensing that Friko was acting crazy again, Ash stopped paying attention to her and focused on his teammates instead.

At this moment, Motoyo Nagasaki is filling out the competition information.

"I'll just fill it in randomly, how about MYGO (Wow!)? As for the meaning, it's just that I hope this hopeless team can move forward."

Su Shi said indifferently, and no one had any reason to object, since she was much better than Ai Yin.

The team name was chosen so easily, but there's still one more thing to do.

That is to form groups. In order to prevent anyone from making things too difficult for their Pokémon and to ensure that they can quickly take care of their Pokémon after a battle, the teams are divided into groups of two.

The current situation is that Ash and Lantern are both fine, Aine and Souze want to team up with Ash, while Lixi wants to team up with Lantern. As for a certain cat-like girl named Yoru, she is playing with her Pokémon and has not participated in the discussion.

We absolutely have to get rid of Su Shi (Xiao Ai Yin)!

Aine and Suze's eyes met. Although neither of them voiced their thoughts, they both knew that the loser would have to team up with Rakuna.

The two of them typed on their phones at lightning speed.

Su Shi: Let's play rock-paper-scissors, that's the most reasonable.

Aine: If Su Shi loses, you can't complain, okay?

Su Shi: Don't worry...

Su Shi: We will win!

After sending the message, Su Shi's face revealed a determined and victorious expression, her gaze sharp as a sword, fixed intently on Ai Yin. Ai Yin felt the pressure, nervously swallowed, and then raised her hand.

The two quickly played rock-paper-scissors in the air. Su Shi didn't hesitate to throw out her fist, while Aine threw out her paper.

"Huh?! You lost!" Su Shi's eyes widened instantly, as if they were about to jump out of their sockets.

"Then I'll team up with Ash. Souyo, you can stay here and team up with Renai."

Aiyin leaned close to Su Shi's ear and spoke in a low, cruel voice before turning away and leaving Su Shi behind, leaving only Su Shi's mournful cries.

"Wait, I can do anything, please play best two out of three with me, okay?!"

...

"bring it on!"
