Although it couldn't quite grasp the knack, Tropius always felt it could do it.
"How's your proficiency with Grassy Terrain?" Lu Li asked again.
"Trop~"
Tropius responded confidently.
When it comes to this, Tropius is wide awake.
You might say I slack off with other skills, but when it comes to farming, Charizard would have to bow down to me.
"Looks like you're pretty confident," Lu Li said, amused, looking at Tropius with its chin raised.
It wasn't suitable to use Grassy Terrain here, so Lu Li didn't check Tropius's Grassy Terrain.
Tropius also felt a little regretful, as it had originally planned to show off a bit.
Next, Lu Li opened his phone, confirmed his opponent for the evening, then turned off his phone and called out to Tropius.
Tropius skillfully approached Lu Li, who gently stroked Tropius with his right hand, activating Growth.
All work and no play makes Jack a dull boy.
What do you mean my Trainer level can't keep up with the rate of time increase this year? Don't you understand the beauty of stat crushing!
Tropius, with its eyes narrowed, let out a pleasant cry, and Lu Li quickly wearily removed his hand, then sat down to cultivate and recover.
The evening's match was uneventful, just another ungraceful stat crush.
In almost just one day, the High School Entrance Exam Competition determined the top ten.
Lu Li wasn't very concerned about anything else in the competition, except for his own opponents.
Perhaps because of the Rein incident, the League obviously wanted to end the High School Entrance Exam Competition as soon as possible.
The matches were scheduled very densely, and Lu Li's new opponent was Li Zhi, the boy who looked like the Rainbow Hero.
"Luckily your name is Li Zhi, if it was Akagi, this match would be difficult," Lu Li muttered to himself.
Walking out of the contestant通道, Lu Li squinted and sized up the somewhat silly, honest-looking boy in front of him.
Seeing Lu Li, Li Zhi excitedly introduced himself: "Hello, my name is Li Zhi! A man who dreams of becoming a Pokémon Master!"
"Lu Li, a man who dreams of reaching the top," Lu Li also introduced himself using the same tone as the other party.
As the referee next to them announced the start of the match, the two released their Pokémon.
Needless to say, Li Zhi's Pikachu originally only had Late-Stage Normal strength, but after the disaster event, Pikachu's strength miraculously broke through to the Veteran level.
This was very unbelievable to outsiders, after all, Li Zhi himself was just an ordinary person and didn't have much resources to use on Pikachu, and plus, he didn't have any special abilities, so Pikachu being able to have such strength was very un-Pokémon-like.
"Still the standard partner Pokémon," Lu Li thought to himself.
"Come on out, Tropius!"
Lu Li released Tropius.
Tropius, out of the Poké Ball, spread its wings and soared, with no intention of landing at all.
In fact, the command skills of both sides were about the same, Lu Li relied purely on stat crushing, while Li Zhi was different, he relied entirely on improvisation in battle, and that legendary skill—Stand Up!
Lu Li didn't issue any commands, but let Tropius fight on its own.
At the start of the battle, Tropius circled in the air, its huge wings flapping, bringing gusts of wind, and Tropius's originally honest eyes became incomparably sharp, like a hawk locking onto Pikachu on the ground.
Pikachu stood on the competition field, its body slightly lowered, staring intently at the figure in the sky.
Its eyes were firm, as if it had already prepared to face the battle.
It had become stronger! The previous matches had also proven that point, and at this moment, Pikachu was extremely confident that it would definitely lead its trainer to victory.
Tropius was the first to attack, diving down from high altitude, its huge body like a falling comet, attacking Pikachu with unparalleled momentum.
Tropius had never battled Pikachu before, but it also knew that these smaller heroes generally didn't have very good close combat abilities.
The trainer had also said before that it couldn't always rely on "Star Drain", and sometimes it had to use its own strong vitality.
As for how to use it? Of course, by trading injuries for injuries.
When it comes to HP, Tropius said it could make Gym Leader-level Pokémon despair.
Watching the diving Tropius, Pikachu reacted quickly, first releasing beams of electricity, trying to block Tropius's attack.
Thunder Shock was considered a life-bound skill for Pokémon like Pikachu, just like Thunderbolt, strictly speaking, Thunder Shock could even be said to be a lower-level skill of Thunderbolt.
However, Tropius directly chose to ignore it, the electric light only flickered on its body before being easily resolved.
Tropius didn't even use Protect, purely using its body to block it.
Good news.
Tropius took a Thunder Shock.
Bad news.
Tropius had already recovered.
Worse news, this recovery time didn't even exceed a second.
"What!"
Li Zhi looked at this scene depressed.
He had personally experienced how strong Pikachu's Thunder Shock was, even if Tropius's strength was Elite-level, it shouldn't have such a reaction.
You should at least be paralyzed, right? If not, at least shout!
However, Tropius wouldn't cooperate with them, after taking a Thunder Shock head-on, Tropius had already arrived in front of Pikachu.
Rumble!!!
The deafening roar resounded throughout the competition venue.
"Body Slam?"
Lu Li looked at Tropius on the field in surprise.
He didn't expect Tropius to comprehend a new skill so quickly, and it was still a skill like Body Slam with decent power.
Unlike in the game, the Body Slam in reality involves the Pokémon's weight and size, and even life energy factors.
Needless to say about Tropius's size, it was nearly three meters long, and the weight was also self-evident, ordinary Tropius only weighed 200 pounds.
But Lu Li's Tropius weighed 300 pounds, mainly because of Growth, plus Tropius's outrageous life energy.
With many buffs, Tropius's Body Slam could even be comparable to a Snorlax of the same level.
Under the wheels of a big car, Pikachu directly lay in the pit.
Watching Pikachu lying motionless in the pit, Li Zhi shouted anxiously: "Pikachu! Stand up! I believe in you."
Perhaps it heard the trainer's shout, or perhaps because of the power of bonds.
Pikachu, lying in the pit, suddenly twitched, and then struggled to get up.
Lu Li: "???"
Lu Li was dumbfounded looking at this outrageous scene in front of him.
Another victim of the Stand Tough divine skill? And it's me?
Looking at Pikachu who had climbed up again, Li Zhi waved his hands excitedly.
"Alright, Pikachu! I knew you could do it, next we use Quick Attack! Then follow up with Iron Tail!"
Looking at Pikachu, who was clearly at its limit, but after climbing up again, it could still perform high-intensity hardness and skills.
Lu Li's gaze towards Li Zhi also changed.
Confirmed!
This guy is definitely a parallel version of Ash.
"Tropius! Stomp!" Lu Li commanded expressionlessly.
A person favored by Heavenly Luck?
Don't you know that we cultivators are best at defying fate?
Pikachu almost instantly arrived in front of Tropius, and at this moment, its tail was already emitting a metallic luster.
Tropius raised its front foot high, then stomped down heavily.
"Boom!!!"
The familiar roar sounded, and Pikachu's Iron Tail also caught Tropius's foot.
The contest of strength between two Pokémon of different sizes ended quickly.
Pikachu once again lay in that familiar pit.
This time, Li Zhi's divine skill finally couldn't be used.
As the referee announced the end of the match, Li Zhi hurriedly hugged Pikachu and left the competition venue.
Lu Li also put away Tropius and turned to enter the contestant通道.
The latest novel is first published in Liǔ 9 Shu Ba!
Such a victory was not worth mentioning, after all, Tropius was cheating bigger than Li Zhi.
"Now do you know who the real Rainbow Hero is?" Lu turned his head to look at his sister.
The girl helplessly rolled her eyes at her older brother.
The girl said seriously: "This Tropius's vitality is indeed not right, but it's very Dragon."
Dragon: "…"
"The next match is yours, I hope you don't lose too badly then," Dragon deliberately provoked.
The girl retorted: "I'm invincible!"
"Then good luck to you!"
As someone who had been there, Dragon knew too well who the final winner would be.
Back in the lounge, Lu Li began to summarize today's match.
The battle with Li Zhi, overall, was fine.
Tropius almost exerted all of its advantages.
Just as Lu Li was doing a post-battle summary, the phone rang suddenly.
Lu Li habitually answered the phone.
Yu Lili's voice came from the phone: "Lu Li, congratulations on entering the top ten."
"Then you're congratulating too early, after I win the championship tomorrow, you'll have to congratulate me again," Lu Li joked humorously.
Yu Lili smiled and took over the topic, saying: "It's okay, I'll come and congratulate you again tomorrow."
"By the way, how's your side?" Lu Li was still more concerned about the situation on Yu Lili's side.
Yu Lili said helplessly: "It's not terrible, but it's not good either."
Lu Li quickly asked with concern: "How so?"
"My maternal grandfather's family and our family have broken up, and now there are many forces eager to move against the Aoki Black Market, and the Lei family is also holding onto my dad's Aggron and refuses to return it," Yu Lili recounted all the difficulties she was facing.
If Aggron could be returned, then the crisis Yu's family was facing now could be easily resolved.
Unfortunately, the Lei family was unwilling.
Lu Li asked curiously: "Have you reported it to the League?"
"It's useless, the League has been procrastinating," Yu Lili said through gritted teeth.
Lu Li probably knew the League's attitude.
Yu Zhonggang belonged to the early camp, and he stood on the wrong side, and in the League's eyes, Yu Zhonggang had abandoned the League and completely sided with the Lei family.
Now that the Lei family was deliberately holding onto Aggron, the League was of course happy to see it happen.
It would be easy to get Aggron back, but that would completely offend the Lei family.
"Lili, you might as well deliberately leak this news, saying that the Lei family is deliberately holding onto your dad's Aggron, wanting to seize your dad's Elite Four-level Pokémon," Lu Li suggested.
Yu Lili hesitated and said: "If we do this, the Lei family will…"
"This is the only way to get Aggron back," Lu Li said.
The Lei family was willing to compensate the Yu family, obviously wanting to use the Yu family as an example.
In the number one competition venue, Yu Zhonggang must have done something to offend the Lei family, but in order to maintain the family's image, the Lei family chose to swallow the bitter fruit, and then deliberately gave the Yu family a very high compensation.
The purpose was to tell those who were wavering, let them see what the end of the meritorious minister would be.
At this time, the news that the Lei family wanted to seize Yu Zhonggang's Elite Four-level Aggron, the one who would be anxious would be the Lei family.
Yu Lili was still a little hesitant, there was no way, the behemoth of the Lei family was really too terrifying.
"Let's wait a little longer, if it really doesn't work, then use this method," Yu Lili still chose to back down.
Lu Li nodded and didn't persuade her any further.
Yu Lili encouraged: "You have to work hard in tomorrow's match! Add my share of effort too."
"Yeah! I will."
Yu Lili also said: "By the way, my godmother has something she wants to talk to you about."
Godmother?
Lu Li was a little dumbfounded.
Yu Lili still had a godmother? How didn't he know about this?
Just as Lu Li was puzzled, Liu Lina's familiar voice came from the phone.
"Lu Li, I'm your Aunt Liu Li."
Hearing this familiar gentle voice, Lu Li was even more surprised.
Yu Zhonggang didn't bring this woman into the Yu family when he was alive, but after he died, Liu Li became a member of the Yu family instead?
Lu Li still had a good impression of Liu Li, in his eyes, Liu Li was at least better than Jin Fengjiao.
After all, this aunt was willing to give him her pension money.
"Aunt Liu Li? Is there anything you want from me?" Lu Li asked quickly.
"I won't say congratulations, after all, Lili has already told me, I'm looking for you mainly for another matter."
"What's the matter?"
Lu Li had a tone of you say, I'll listen.
"I heard that your protector is Yao Yifei, the Gym Leader of the Yao Gym?"
Lu Li admitted: "Yes, is Aunt looking for him for something?"
The relationship between him and Yao Yifei was indeed okay, mainly because the interests between the two were now very deeply involved, and even Yekaterina couldn't compare to this.
Liu Li explained: "Your Uncle Yu is dead, and the huge Aoki Black Market is now a sweet cake, it's a pack of wolves and tigers wanting to come up and take a bite, so I want to find a backer for the Aoki Black Market again."
Liu Li didn't hide anything about this matter, and even explained the interests behind the Aoki Black Market.
When he heard that there was actually a dividend from the Flying-type Elite Four Ling Kong behind the Aoki Black Market, Lu Li was completely numb.
There's really no most explosive, only more explosive!
The Flying-type Elite Four Ling Kong is known for his hatred of evil.
Lu Li didn't refuse, after all, she just wanted him to be a middleman, there was really no need to refuse this matter.
Lu Li agreed: "I can help you ask, if Gym Leader Yao is interested, I will give you her phone number."
Liu Li nodded and said, "Okay, get back to me as soon as possible."
