Chapter 536 Well done
October 11, Sunday.
It is considered the beginning of the week in the West and the end of the week in the East.
The definition of Sunday in Padia is also to regard it as the day of rest and the last day of the week.
The heavy snow that had been falling for almost a week finally stopped, the thick gray clouds dispersed, and the warm sunshine shone through.
Today's weather is perfect for going out, not to mention that there is a very eye-catching special event in the Table Market today -
College VS College battle exchange competition!
On one side is the ancient and prestigious Grape Academy in the Padia region, and on the other side is the emerging Blueberry Academy in the Unova region. Not to mention that the two academies had an exchange match before, which added a different color to today's exchange match.
Will Blueberry Academy succeed in its revenge, or will Grape Academy continue to maintain its advantage?
The citizens of Zhuotai City, who were looking forward to the answer, and even people from other towns and regions, rushed to Zhuotai City the night before, ready to witness the result with their own eyes.
The venue of the competition is not the Grape Academy where only teachers and students can enter, but it is held in the center of Zhuotai City, at a battlefield called Sun Square.
The battle field is surrounded by a colorful pattern that looks like the sun, based on the 18 attribute patterns of Pokémon. It is one of the landmarks of Table City.
Pokémon trainers often battle here, and passers-by either stop to watch and cheer, or walk by in a hurry, busy with work.
But today, at dawn, the Sun Plaza was already packed with people who had arrived one after another.
Looking at this scene, Pi Pa, who was wearing the Grape Academy uniform, exclaimed, "There are so many people!"
"Yeah, just imagining a Pokémon battle in front of so many people makes my blood boil!"
Nemo, who was beside her, raised the corner of her mouth, her eyes full of anticipation.
Mudan curled her lips and looked at the data on the laptop through the lenses. "Last night, all the hotels in Zhuotai City were fully booked. It would be strange if there weren't so many people."
"Wow. Just imagining myself fighting in front of so many people makes me feel like I should just sleep in the dorm all day."
Mudan's face seemed to be wearing a mask of pain.
A big part of the reason why she fled the Galar region, besides not wanting to be bothered by her stupid father, was that she didn't like the atmosphere in the Galar region where trainers were like stars.
In the huge arena, there were countless spectators cheering noisily, there was exciting background music, and there were countless spotlights and flashes, which really made her mentally exhausted.
Mudan tried to escape, but was held on both sides by Shizuka and Piper, who had anticipated her actions.
Although she is a stay-at-home girl who often dances home dances and has much better physical strength than Nemo, she is still no match for Papper, who has been able to cook by herself since she was a child, and Shizuka, the former Pokémon nurse who can treat the Great King Bronze Elephant.
She could only struggle in humiliation and in vain.
Shinji withdrew his gaze from the three funny guys, and said coldly to Alex, who was thinking about something beside him, "You are not still entangled in that matter, are you?"
Alex, who was squatting in the corner, was stunned. He looked at Shinji, who was younger than him, and nodded with a wry smile.
"Yeah, there are obviously many trainers in the academy who are stronger than me, why did the teacher go against the crowd and let me debut?"
Many images of his classmates in the academy flashed through Alex's mind.
Like Meloko from the Art Club, Pina who is the student council president, Qiu Ming who is good at poison-attribute Pokémon, many seniors in the upper grades, and Ortiga who is definitely better than himself and has the unstinting support of his family.
No matter how you look at it, he is more suitable to participate in the battle than an ordinary trainer like him.
Seeing Alex's somewhat cowardly look, Shinji sighed irritably, and the grinning Luo Mu's instructions flashed through his mind.
It’s so troublesome——
But this is still a task left to him by his respected teachers and seniors, so Shinji still plans to complete it meticulously.
Thinking of this, he organized his words and said stiffly, "Don't worry, maybe your brother doesn't take you seriously at all. You can use this to organize an unexpected attack."
Shinji explained to Alex in a very confident manner the tactics he had thought about for a long time last night, which took all kinds of unexpected situations into consideration.
Aliqis: “.”
I understand what you said, but what you said hurts me.
Although he felt like he was shot by an arrow for no reason, Alex, who had grown a lot compared to half a year ago, also knew that Shinji was comforting himself in his own way, it was just a bit stiff and unpleasant to the ear.
However, after the other party had so blatantly revealed the reality in front of him, Alex's mentality inexplicably relaxed a little.
Yes.
From childhood to adulthood, I have always been inferior to my brother in every field.
The other party passed the test and was admitted to the Blueberry Academy, which specializes in training trainers, while he could only rely on his local citizenship status in Zhuotai City to pass the interview and join the Orange/Grape Academy, which has more freedom in all aspects.
Although he did not degenerate, the difference in talent and the time it took him to become a trainer were factors that continued to widen the gap between him and his brother.
If Director Luo Mu had not become the academy's combat instructor, he thought it would have taken him a very long time to improve to his current level.
It is precisely because I am not as good as my brother in everything that the progress I have made in this period of time may become an unexpected weapon for him.
Thinking of this, Aliqis waited for Shinji to finish speaking, organized his words, and said, "My brother is a trainer who believes in strength above all else. In his eyes, a Pokémon that loses a battle does not need to be sent into battle again, because that means all its cards have been seen through."
Shinji frowned slightly, but fortunately, Eliqis, who was completely unaware of this, was ready to provide an explanation.
"However, he himself is actually very aware that it would be very sad to let the Pokémon that he has established a bond with no longer appear."
"But he said that if he didn't do this, he wouldn't be able to rank among the top students in Blueberry Academy."
"Because my brother and I have a good relationship, he said these things to me. The Pokémon that no longer appear are also fostered in grandpa's ranch. My brother will call them back from time to time, but they will no longer appear in battles."
"You're right. My brother knows me very well, so he won't take me seriously. This may be my chance to win."
Aliqis looked at his clenched right fist with focused eyes.
Why did he still ask Mr. Luomu to allow him to train with Shinji and others in the fighting hall even though he was not selected?
Isn't it just to one day surpass the brother whom you adore and long for?
Under the guidance of that great teacher, many of his shortcomings have been improved. If he continues to be as cowardly as he is now, it would be a waste of the other person's hard work.
Seeing that Alex had come to his senses, Shinji suddenly felt that maybe he really had the talent to comfort people.
For example, wasn't my own turtle moved by my comfort and even became more diligent in training?
Thinking of this, Shinji raised his lips slightly and continued what Aliqis said, "I also have a brother. I admire and look up to him very much. I took him as my goal and chose to become a trainer."
"However, my brother has given up the path of a trainer and has chosen to become a breeder and opened a breeding house."
Aliqis listened to Shinji's story curiously, with surprise flashing in his eyes.
This was the first time he had heard of these things.
The conversation between the two was interrupted by the arrival of Luo Mu, who was dressed in formal clothes and had his hair done, and Ye Ci, Clavel and other teachers from the Grape Academy. Seeing these people walking down the stairs leading to the Grape Academy, many noisy discussions suddenly sounded among the people gathered here.
at the same time.
Another team, led by Adek and their teacher Bai Leya, walked towards Sun Square from the opposite direction.
Seeing the heavyweight figures appear one after another, the eyes of the reporters who had been waiting here for a long time lit up, and they immediately showed off their talents.
Some people let the long-tailed monster crawl on their heads to take pictures, and some let the angry parrot hold the camera and fly up, and they remotely control the shutter through a small mechanism.
For a moment, Luo Mu felt that his eyes were about to be blinded by the flash.
He looked at Ye Ci, who was standing beside him without blinking, with some admiration.
She is indeed a successful lady who holds multiple positions, and her business ability is truly impeccable.
Didn’t you see that Qingmu, who was following behind Yeci, was even worse than him, as if his soul was about to be sucked away by the flash?
It is obvious at a glance that Brother Aoki had worked overtime again last night and is now in a wandering state.
Ye Ci had a very good reputation in the Padia area. The crowd gathered around him spontaneously made way for him, and the other side had to squeeze through. Adek, who looked a little embarrassed, even whistled.
"It seems that this beautiful champion with a dignified temperament has a good reputation among the people."
Read the error-free version at 69shuba! 6=9+shu_ba is the first to publish this novel.
"Yeah. That teacher in nurse uniform is pretty good too. She should be one of those innocent types."
"Ms. Junsha, who is responsible for maintaining order, and Ms. Joy, who is responsible for logistics, should be here soon. I wonder what hairstyles they will have."
"I really can't help wanting someone to chat with me."
As soon as Adek's words came out of his mouth, he was interrupted by Bai Leiya's elbow who suddenly stepped forward.
Because of the pain, Adek subconsciously bent his waist like a shrimp. He stared at Bai Leya with a reproachful look and made a series of gasping sounds.
"hiss"
Before he could even utter a word of complaint, Bai Leiya, who remained calm, said bluntly: "You are the champion of the United Alliance after all. Please remember not to behave disrespectfully in public."
"This is what the president told me through Principal Xi Lan and then through Zi Yu before we set off."
As if to confirm the reliability of Bai Leya's words.
Behind her, Zi Yu, who was still wearing a cute and fashionable outfit, pouted, crossed her arms to make an "X", and said, "I don't think this is good!"
Du Ruo on the side also said viciously: "Don't show such a lewd expression in public, you old lewd man!"
Several other entourage members also directly denounced Adek.
Even though they once more or less admired the champion Adek, as the saying goes, distance makes beauty.
It was not until they got to know the real Adek that they understood this.
The former filter of admiration has long been shattered. Apart from the recognition of Adek's strength and teaching level, the image of Adek in everyone's mind is now deeply tied to "dirty old man".
Feeling that he would be criticized if he continued to resist, Adek could only stand up with his back bent and raise his hands to show his surrender.
At least he would behave himself for the time being.
After a while, the two parties met.
Compared to Ye Ci, who greeted Adek, Bai Leya and several Blueberry Academy students with Clavel's formal friendliness, Luo Mu, who stood nearby as a background, was much more relaxed.
Just as he was thinking about whether to let the Eevee sisters sleep with him tonight, or the formulaic Burning Bug, or to be bold and choose the Monarch Snake and Ninetales.
An eager gaze attracted his attention.
Looking over there, Luo Mu met the eyes of Wu Li, whose face showed a hint of excitement.
Noticing Luo Mu looking at him, Wu Li excitedly grabbed his sister's sleeve and waved vigorously to greet them.
Seeing the brother and sister, Luo Mu's mouth corners slightly raised.
It’s really amazing. It only took less than two months to accomplish this.
The brother and sister's talent as trainers was indeed growing rapidly as Luo Mu had expected.
From this point of view, Ye Ci's challenge can be passed smoothly.
After today, we can consider having Brother Aoki prepare for the siblings to transfer to another school, and bring Mr. Xue Zhong and Aunt Shuzi over.
Due to their height and being at the end of the team, Wu Li and Dan Yu's actions did not attract the attention of other members of the Blueberry Academy exchange group.
But it cannot be hidden from the Grape Academy, which has a different perspective.
Huang Bo came over curiously and asked, "Director, why are those two kids looking at you? Do you know them?"
"I guess so. And don't call me Director. It makes me look old."
Luo Mu nodded slightly, retorted habitually, and then waved over there as if in response.
After receiving Luo Mu's response, Wu Li and Dan Yu became obviously more excited.
At this time, Ye Ci, who had completed the preliminary communication, left the reception to Clavel. As soon as she turned around, she heard the undisguised chatter between Luo Mu and Huang Bo.
She looked towards Blueberry Academy thoughtfully, walked over and asked, "Could those two children be the ones you mentioned——?"
Because the matter has not been confirmed yet, Ye Ci did not say it clearly and explicitly.
But this did not prevent Luo Mu from understanding what she meant. He nodded slightly and said, "That's them."
Hearing this, Ye Ci looked at Wu Li and Dan Yu again, and smiled as if he was thinking of something.
"Since they have been able to obtain a place in the exchange program with our academy, it has already proven their abilities. All that remains is to witness them in battle."
Although he said this, mentally Ye Ci had already approved of the talent recruitment plan proposed by Luo Mu.
Buy two get two free, and there are mask craftsmen who have mastered lost techniques. These are simply the most suitable talents for the Padia region.
Should I say that he is worthy of being Luo Mu? Even she couldn't imagine such a tricky poaching technique.
Ye Ci looked at Luo Mu, and under Huang Bo's puzzled expression, he said with the brightest smile of the day: "Well done."
