"This time, there are only two commoners from our Kyushu region participating in the college entrance examination competition." The Alliance President pushed the information of Lu Li and Li Zhi to Long.
Long curiously took the information and looked at it.
Li Zhi...
An ordinary-looking teenager with a rather silly and sunny smile. His initial Pokémon is Pikachu, and he already has the strength of an early-stage Veteran level.
Next, Long picked up another piece of information.
"Hiss~"
Even Long, who was used to all kinds of incredible things, couldn't help but gasp.
"Elite level?" Long looked up at the President in disbelief.
What is the concept of Elite level?
Let's put it this way.
Among the contestants participating in the college entrance examination competition, the vast majority are in the late-stage of the Advanced level, and that is already considered a genius.
There are also a few who have reached the Veteran level. People generally call them evildoers, existences more monstrous than geniuses.
But Lu Li's strength is Elite level, an existence a whole major level higher than evildoers.
The last one with this kind of strength was Ren, who is already dead.
But he is an Ideal Messenger, what does Lu Li have?
The Alliance President said meaningfully: "As we all know, Ho-Oh likes people with many twists and turns in their fate."
Hearing this, Long suddenly understood.
The member of the Council of Elders once went to see the three sacred beasts and received an accurate answer from them. The Rainbow Hero has already appeared and has begun to embark on the road of trials.
As we all know, Ho-Oh likes people with many twists and turns in their fate, which is basically the kind of person with a poor background, preferably without parents, or with a mother but no father.
Therefore, the Rainbow Hero can directly exclude those from wealthy families, leaving only two commoners.
One Elite level Lu Li, one Veteran level Li Zhi.
It is almost obvious who is the Rainbow Hero.
If he isn't a Divine Envoy, why would Lu Li's strength improve so quickly?
The Alliance President pointed to Lu Li's information and said, "It is worth mentioning that the Yekaterina family and our Fairy-type Elite Four have already invested in him in advance."
No need to say more, it can almost be confirmed.
This Lu Li is the legendary Rainbow Hero.
Long looked at the President with great interest and asked, "Then what should we do? Should we bet on him in advance?"
"The Alliance has already expressed goodwill," the President said with a smile.
Whether it's divine objects or guardians, the Alliance doesn't owe Lu Li anything.
Most importantly, the Rainbow Hero doesn't actually need to be won over.
Long asked again, "Then should we send someone to protect him?"
Long thought of his younger sister. Perhaps he could find a way to arrange for her to be by the Rainbow Hero's side. After all, following a Divine Envoy is a gift in itself.
Even the Long family would be tempted by such a gift.
"Whatever you want."
The Alliance President replied decisively.
Seeing the other party's reaction, Long asked in confusion, "You don't seem very worried about his safety?"
"Me? Worried about the Rainbow Hero getting into trouble?" The Alliance President rolled his eyes at Long.
The Alliance President assured with absolute certainty: "Believe me, even the lunatics from the Holy Sect wouldn't attack the Rainbow Hero."
He has a built-in resurrection cheat, and he's followed by the Mythical Pokémon Marshadow. How crazy would someone have to be to go looking for trouble with the Rainbow Hero?
Worried that Long, this reckless person, wouldn't understand, the President added, "You need to know that the Ideal Messenger and the Rainbow Hero are two different things. The Rainbow Hero won't affect the interests of any family."
The Ideal Messenger can order the Ideal Dragon not to "eat beef," but the Rainbow Hero doesn't have the ability to command a Level 1 Legendary Pokémon.
Long nodded thoughtfully.
His intuition told him that the President was also behind the fall of the Ideal Messenger.
Long said with interest, "I'd like to meet that Rainbow Hero."
The Alliance President also supported him, saying, "You can, and I also support you sending your sister to his side. I think many smart people have already guessed this little guy's identity."
............
At this moment, Lu Li had no idea that he had taken away the luck of a certain Rainbow Hero, nor did he know that he was indirectly taking the blame.
However, this scapegoat is much safer than being the Ideal Messenger.
Lu Li, who came to Zhongdu for the first time, was shocked by the prosperity of Zhongdu.
This was the first city he had seen that didn't look like a Pokémon world at all.
There were no Pokémon coming and going on the street. Even if there were small Pokémon, they were ornamental Pokémon, and some were even held in people's arms.
In Zhongdu's public places, trainers are not allowed to release their Pokémon privately. It is precisely because of this that there are many floating cars in Zhongdu, and even many people from large families travel by floating cars.
All college entrance examination students participating in the competition were arranged to live in the Zhongdu Pokémon Center, and Lu Li was naturally no exception.
After returning to his room, Lu Li contacted Yao Yifei on his mobile phone and asked her to collect some materials for him.
Thanks to those two Unown, he can now refine real space treasures, such as the most common storage rings in the world of cultivation.
Now he's just waiting to finish the competition quickly and then go back and practice hard.
Although space backpacks are convenient, they are not that convenient, but storage rings are different. On the one hand, the space in a storage ring is much larger than that of a space backpack, and on the other hand, they are much smaller and don't get in the way when worn on the hand.
Most importantly, there are no storage rings in this world, which can sometimes confuse enemies.
After asking Yao Yifei to purchase the materials, Lu Li entered the Alliance's competition app and, after confirming the time and opponent of his next match,
Lu Li meditated and cultivated in the room.
The competition time starts at eight o'clock tomorrow morning and lasts for about three days.
The Alliance's rewards have not changed, which is what Lu Li cares about most.
If it weren't for the Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon, he really wouldn't be willing to participate in such a high-profile competition.
............
A day passed in the blink of an eye.
In just one day, Yu Lili gained a godmother, and the Jin family and the Yu family were almost on the verge of a falling out.
Although Lu Li didn't have a match in the morning, he still decided to go to the competition venues of those contestants to understand the specific strength of his opponents.
Sitting in the audience, Lu Li curiously watched the match on the stage.
Grotle VS Axew.
"Axew will win!"
"For the glory of the Dragon Tribe! Charge!!!"
The girl next to Lu Li waved her hands excitedly, cheering for Axew on the stage.
Lu Li had a headache looking at the noisy girl next to him.
He wasn't familiar with this girl, but Lu Li didn't intend to get to know her, a typical fan girl.
Lu Li didn't think that Axew could win this match. The reason was simple: Axew evolved too early.
Evolving into Axew in the late stage of the Advanced level means that its potential in this life may only be Elite Four level.
On the other hand, Grotle is different.
Although the strength of the two Pokémon is the same, one evolved early and the other is steadily improving, the difference between them is self-evident.
Evolving early has advantages and disadvantages. Generally speaking, it is exchanging potential for rapid progress in strength.
The match lasted less than ten minutes.
Axew's trainer dejectedly withdrew the Axew that had lost its ability to fight.
"Ahhhhh!!!"
"How could this happen? How could the invincible dragon fall?"
"Dragon Tribe's shame! Shame! With equal strength and no type disadvantage, it can't even beat a turtle."
The girl was obviously a fanatical Dragon-type enthusiast, and seeing Axew lose was even more painful than losing herself.
Lu Li also looked at the angry girl next to him with amusement.
This girl is quite interesting.
And if he remembers correctly, this girl seems to be a contestant as well.
The girl left in a huff, completely forgetting the task her older brother had given her.
Lu Li didn't leave because there was a second match here later.
Lu Li spent the entire morning watching the matches.
After eating lunch and resting for two hours, Lu Li, who had adjusted his mentality, took Tropius onto the stage.
Tropius's opponent was a Combusken. Tropius has a type disadvantage, but in terms of strength, Tropius is crushing the opponent.
With the referee's order, the battle officially began.
Without Lu Li giving any instructions, Tropius took to the skies, hovering in the air like a green star.
Combusken, on the other hand, used its strong legs to firmly root itself on the ground, like an immovable mountain, ready to face the challenge from the sky at any time.
"Leaf Storm!"
Lu Li decided to test the waters first.
Tropius attacked first, swooping down from the sky, carrying a Leaf Storm that swept towards Combusken like a storm.
The emerald green leaves drew dazzling trajectories in the air, as if to completely engulf Combusken.
Combusken wasn't afraid at all. Perhaps it was because its nature was Brave?
"Detect!"
Combusken's trainer shouted loudly.
Combusken instantly canceled out Tropius's Leaf Storm attack. Immediately afterwards, Combusken launched a counterattack. It used its strong legs to suddenly leap several meters high, as if to compete with Tropius in the air.
"Detect! Fighting Tropius in the air? You must be looking down on my Tropius a little too much." Lu Li complained in his heart.
In the air, Combusken waved its claws, like a sharp sickle, slashing towards Tropius.
That's the basic move, Scratch.
Tropius didn't humor Combusken either. It countered with a stomp, but it didn't step on the ground, but on Combusken.
Boom!!!
Tropius's front foot and Combusken's collided in the air. Because of the large difference in size between the two, Combusken seemed extremely small at this moment.
Boom!
Combusken smashed to the ground like a cannonball, and a familiar spiderweb-like pit appeared beneath Combusken.
After participating in the college entrance examination competition for so long, Lu Li finally met an opponent whose command skills were worse than his today.
"I announce that Tropius is the winner!"
The referee next to him directly announced.
When numerical crushing meets numerical crushing, naturally the larger value wins, and it is an overwhelming victory.
In a certain special viewing room, Long complained, "This kid's command level is a bit poor, but this does fit my stereotype of the Rainbow Hero."
The girl next to Long also excitedly commented, "This Tropius is something else. It's worthy of being a Dragon-type! For a powerful dragon, even if the trainer is a 'dog,' it can still lead the trainer to victory."
Long: "..."
Long's mouth opened slightly, looking like he wanted to say something but stopped.
He really wanted to say that Tropius is not a Dragon-type. After all, its egg groups are Monster and Plant, but considering that Arbok is also in the Dragon egg group, Long finally closed his mouth.
Its name has Dragon in it, and it can learn many Dragon-type moves, so it doesn't seem wrong to say that Tropius is a Dragon-type.
The atypical Dragon-type trainer finally convinced himself and didn't argue with his sister.
"If there are no accidents, he will be your opponent in the match after the next one. How is it? Do you have confidence?" Long teased maliciously.
The girl raised her chin proudly and said, "Of course! That dragon's purity is too low. My dragon is invincible!"
Long deliberately discouraged her, "But the other party is Elite level, and you are only Veteran level."
The girl retorted unconvincingly, "So what? My Dragon has defeated stronger Pokémon before."
Long didn't discourage his sister's confidence either, but reminded her, "Then good luck. If you lose, remember your promise."
"I know. If I lose, I'll make him my follower, right?" The girl rolled her eyes at her older brother.
Long corrected, "It's you who will be his follower!"
Girl: "It's all the same."
Long: "..."
It's not the same!
Long looked up at the ceiling speechlessly.
His sister's personality is getting worse and worse. There is obviously a problem with her education. He has to quickly find a way to keep his sister away from the unscrupulous old man in the family.
............
After the match, Lu Li returned to his room.
"Tropius, your skill proficiency still needs to be improved," Lu Li earnestly advised.
Tropius may have put all its energy into improving its strength and "Star Drain," which led to the proficiency of Tropius's other skills being so bad that even dogs would shake their heads.
"Trop~"
(Trainer, didn't you say that I can do it if I master Star Drain?)
Lu Li: "..."
"Then you should at least practice other skills to a proficient level, right?" Lu Li rolled his eyes at the self-righteous Tropius.
"Trop~"
(I don't think skills that can't farm seem to be of much use.)
Lu Li: "..."
Tropius's talent is actually very high. In less than two months, Tropius has already practiced Sweet Scent to the Grandmaster level.
Although this talent is not as good as Charmander's, it is on a different level compared to Lu Li, the trainer.
The Pokémon in this world are all blessed by nature, simply born cultivation geniuses.
"The power of Ideal probably has the ability to accelerate the growth of Pokémon. Otherwise, Ren's Electabuzz couldn't have reached the Elite level," Lu Li thought suddenly.
Moreover, the effect of the power of Ideal on accelerating the growth of Pokémon is very outrageous, comparable to Tropius's Sweet Scent.
If the power of Ideal is so invincible, then what about the power of Truth?
Lu Li thought of the White Dragon Twin Tails.
Compared to the Ideal Dragon, Lu Li actually preferred the appearance of the Truth Dragon.
Seeing the trainer hadn't spoken for a while, Tropius gently nudged Lu Li, thinking he was angry.
Snapping out of his thoughts, Lu Li quickly explained, "I was thinking about something else."
"I won't go over things like Leaf Storm, but you absolutely must train the move Leech Seed to the same level of proficiency as Special Growth."
Tropius nodded.
In fact, it hadn't been slacking off at all. It had been repeatedly practicing Special Growth and Leech Seed recently, and had even considered combining Leech Seed and Seed Bomb.
