Using her chin to prop herself up from the ground, like a caterpillar crawling, Long Ying stubbornly looked at Lu Li, her eyes devoid of the arrogance and嚣张 from before.
Replaced by confusion and grievance.
From Long Ying's eyes, Lu Li saw the last stubbornness of this female imp.
She had behaved, begging to be let go, but refusing to lower her head.
Lu Li wanted to laugh.
This girl was simply too interesting.
As a proud dragon, Long Ying knew she had lost; the difference in physical fitness between the two was not even comparable.
Lu Li could break her arms with just one kick. If Lu Li had truly intended to kill, Long Ying felt she would already be dead.
Long Ying forcefully salvaged her dignity, shouting loudly, "Deino! Dragon Rage?"
Trainers play the art of commanding! Only reckless people compare physical fitness.
Long Ying comforted herself in her heart, refusing to admit defeat.
Lu Li watched the girl opposite him with interest. This girl was too much fun.
As for commanding ability? In this regard, Lu Li had self-awareness. How could a self-taught trainer like him compare to the young lady of the Long family?
Receiving the order, Deino instantly changed its move.
A terrifying shockwave poured out from Deino's mouth.
Lu Li was not the noob he once was. Having learned about many secret techniques, Lu Li recognized the uniqueness of this skill at a glance.
The so-called Dragon Rage was a fusion of Dragon Breath, Dark Pulse, and Dragon Pulse.
The effect was naturally needless to say. Dragon Rage also came with paralysis and flinching, two negative effects.
Even an Elite-level Tropius would probably feel uncomfortable if hit.
"Tropius! Leech Seed," Lu Li commanded as well.
Lu Li did not attack Long Ying again; after all, if he continued to hit her, she would break.
Tropius's Leech Seed was very solid, even passing directly through the shockwave of Dragon Rage, accurately hitting Deino.
But at the same time, Dragon Rage also landed on Tropius.
The brief paralysis effect triggered, and Tropius, whose body stiffened, almost fell from the sky.
Flying Pokémon had this disadvantage: they would fall from the sky and get injured if suddenly paralyzed.
Fortunately, Tropius's life energy and strength were there. Deino's Dragon Rage only caused a brief paralysis effect.
Long Ying naturally wouldn't let go of this golden opportunity.
"Pursuit!" Long Ying excitedly commanded.
Pursuit was a Dark-type physical attack. Its effect was to damage the target, and if the target had taken damage this turn, its power would double.
And Tropius had indeed been injured just now. Although the damage was not high, the fact was that it was injured.
Tropius, whose body was in a paralyzed state, recovered, and Deino had already rushed in front of it.
Pursuit landed, and two hideous cuts were instantly torn on Tropius's wings.
"Tropius, Body Slam!"
Seeing Deino just below Tropius, Lu Li simply used a plan within a plan.
Long Ying's pupils shrank when she saw this scene, and she quickly shouted, "Deino, Protect!"
Rumble!
Tropius slammed down heavily, and the entire arena shook.
Tropius flew up again, then looked at Deino with admiration.
At the critical moment, Deino had actually used Protect to block Tropius's Body Slam.
Long Ying showed off triumphantly when she saw this scene, "I've been prepared for this move for a long time!"
With her arms fractured, Long Ying smiled triumphantly, her hands dangling and swaying, looking incredibly comical.
Suppressing the urge to laugh, Lu Li asked meaningfully, "Popping champagne halfway through the match isn't a good habit."
"Tropius! Giga Drain!"
Before Lu Li could finish speaking, Long Ying excitedly interrupted, "Deino, Rest!"
Lu Li: "…"
Lu Li raised his eyebrows.
Just as Tropius was about to activate the Leech Seed on Deino, Deino used Rest.
Rest could restore all of the user's life energy and heal all abnormal conditions, at the cost of the Pokémon falling asleep.
As for when it would wake up?
It depended on the Pokémon's understanding of the Rest skill, but no matter how skilled it was, it would take at least two turns to wake up after falling asleep.
Although Giga Drain was interrupted, it wasn't a big problem.
"Tropius! Use Body Slam again with Growth, then use Razor Leaf with maximum power."
Long Ying looked at Deino anxiously when she saw this scene.
She didn't know if Deino could hold on, but it was the only way.
Knowing how terrifying Tropius's Giga Drain secret technique was, Long Ying could only do this.
Long Ying wasn't sure if Deino could hold on until it woke up, but Deino definitely couldn't withstand that Giga Drain.
Razor Leaf landed on Deino, who was sleeping, and Deino fell unconscious in its sleep.
"Young Pokémon are so good, they fall asleep as soon as they lie down, worthy of being a dragon," Lu Li commented sarcastically.
Long Ying glared at Lu Li, her pretty face flushed with anger.
Without any surprises, Deino ultimately didn't hold on until it woke up.
"Looks like I won," Lu Li looked at Long Ying playfully, then waited for the referee to announce the result.
After confirming that Deino had lost its ability to fight, the referee next to him directly announced the result of the match.
"Don't be too smug! When I find a way to crack your secret technique, I'll get my revenge," Long Ying said, then recalled the Deino that had lost its ability to fight, and disappeared into the player tunnel without looking back.
Lu Li also recalled Tropius and turned to enter the player tunnel.
Those moves that removed abnormal states were quite effective against Tropius. The core of BJ Tropius's "Giga Drain" secret technique was Leech Seed.
"But this can be avoided. At worst, activate special Growth the moment Leech Seed successfully parasitizes," Lu Li ultimately thought of a solution that wasn't really a solution.
In the lounge, Longdu helplessly looked at Long Ying, whose arms were drooping.
"Is your hand okay?"
Long Ying rolled her eyes at Longdu and asked dejectedly, "What do you think? I broke a bone!"
Longdu, with a smile on his lips, urged, "Let Chansey heal you quickly."
Chansey next to Longdu gave an OK gesture, looking like it was guaranteed to be fine if left to her.
The light of fusion flickered, enveloping Long Ying and Deino.
Because the treatment was timely, Long Ying's arms didn't have any sequelae. Longdu breathed a sigh of relief and continued to tease, "How thick-headed does one have to be to think of comparing physical fitness with the Rainbow Hero?"
Long Ying: "…"
As a poor student, Long Ying asked dejectedly, "Is the Rainbow Hero's physical fitness very strong?"
"Every Rainbow Hero is a Aura Hero, and they became Aura Heroes because of their physical fitness, what do you think?" Longdu complained.
"Why didn't you say so earlier?" Long Ying's voice instantly rose several decibels.
As if thinking of something, Long Ying stared at Longdu intently.
"Was it intentional?" Long Ying questioned.
Longdu looked at Long Ying a little awkwardly and denied stubbornly, "How could it be? I never thought a girl like you would challenge a boy to a fight."
Long Ying: "…"
Forget it, the beating had already been taken, and it was useless to say anything now.
Looking at his sister who seemed very free and easy, Longdu narrowed his eyes and reminded, "Remember our bet?"
"I know, after the match, I'll take him as my follower," Long Ying replied dejectedly.
Longdu emphasized, "It's you becoming his follower, don't get the order wrong."
"Same, same," Long Ying smiled sheepishly, obviously trying to muddle through.
Longdu didn't pursue the matter, "Don't feel wronged, this is a benefit that your older brother worked hard to get for you. You'll thank me in the future."
"Got it," Long Ying waved her hand casually.
What following the Envoy of God was a blessing in itself? The invincible dragon could be compared to a god, and Long Ying didn't really have any thoughts about the Envoy of God.
The match was won, and next was the final. There were probably two more matches.
Basically, his champion position was already reserved.
The only opponent in this match died before they could even start. No one could stop him from winning the championship anymore.
Lu Li could only say that Rein died well.
It was said that the Wang family was behind Rein's death. Lu Li glanced at his next opponent.
Yes, he wasn't mistaken, it was that Miss Wang family.
The opponent's strength was not strong, at least not as strong as Long Ying.
Moreover, Lu Li didn't have any good feelings for families that colluded with foreign forces, so he decided not to hold back in the next match.
After lunch, Lu Li started a new round of matches.
Without any surprises, Tropius almost completely crushed a Late-Stage Ordinary-Level Pokémon. Miss Wang family was obviously participating in the competition with a mission and didn't have any desire to win the championship.
She wasn't sad at all about losing and even tried to recruit him.
Lu Li refused without even thinking.
After returning to his residence, Lu Li released Tropius.
"Next is the final," Lu Li announced.
"Trop~"
Tropius made a gesture of confidence. Tropius was full of confidence, and Lu Li was very satisfied.
After playing for a while, Lu Li suddenly felt sentimental, "Speaking of which, I suddenly miss Charizard a little."
Although Charizard liked to set fires, it was indeed a fun-loving dragon. Having it around could add a different color to life.
After night fell, he didn't enter a cultivation state. He was waiting for a call.
Soon after, Ekaterina called.
The general content was nothing more than congratulations and encouragement.
Then there were Yao Yifei, Yu Lili, and others…
The next morning.
The highly anticipated final of the college entrance exam was sounded in the first ray of dawn in the morning. The entire Central Capital seemed to have been pressed with a "carnival" button in an instant.
The last time this city was so lively was during the Heavenly King selection competition.
Viewers flocked from all directions, pouring into the Pokémon Center like a tide. The stands were crowded with colorful heads, like a huge, moving rainbow.
People wore all kinds of costumes, some dressed as the Pokémon they supported, and some wore exaggerated headdresses, painted their faces with colorful paints, waving their arms excitedly, and shouting the names of the players they supported.
"Tropius! The green overlord of the sky!" A group of children carried decorative wings like four large leaves on their backs, holding homemade green vine props, and jumping excitedly.
Their screams rose and fell in the crowd, as if they were holding a unique "scream competition."
And next to the elementary school students, a group of young girls wore gorgeous green plant-themed costumes, their skirts flying with their dance, like green waves.
They held green glow sticks in their hands, waving them to the rhythm, singing songs to cheer for Tropius, the melody of which was particularly beautiful in the noise.
Even Lu Li, who didn't like crowds, had the illusion of losing himself in the cheers.
"Tropius, it seems you have a lot of fans," Lu Li praised Tropius in the Poké Ball softly.
"If only I could be on stage," Milotic listened enviously to the shouts in the stands.
It liked the feeling of being under the spotlight and enjoying the attention of everyone, but unfortunately, all of this belonged to Tropius and the trainer.
Lu Li comforted, "Don't worry, Milotic, the audience in the Grand Festival is more enthusiastic than these audiences. You'll be annoyed by then."
"Nami~"
(I'm going to train harder when I get back! To become the most beautiful and noble Pokémon in the world! And then enjoy this feeling of being the center of attention.)
Listening to Milotic's "grand plan", Lu Li promised, "There will definitely be such a day, and it won't be too far away."
Lu Li's opponent was a boy who looked a little chubby, but he wasn't the kind of person that was just fat, he was strong.
"My name is Peng Kaka, please take care of me," the chubby boy greeted politely.
"Don't worry, I'll go all out," Lu Li guaranteed with a smile.
Lu Li didn't dare to take this chubby boy lightly. As a child of a noble family, Peng Kaka wasn't very famous, but Peng Kaka was able to get to where he was now, and he definitely wasn't relying on luck.
You must know that the Peng family is the Normal-type family among the Eighteen Great Attribute Families.
The Normal-type appeared to be very unremarkable among the eighteen major attributes, and it was even not very eye-catching, and the Peng family was the same.
The whole world knows the prestige of the Eighteen Great Attribute Families, and most people would subconsciously ignore the Peng family, first because the Peng family members were very low-key, and second because the Peng family had always been inconspicuous, and most people had never heard of the Peng family having any achievements or achievements.
As the referee next to him announced the start of the match, Peng Kaka released his Pokémon.
Peng Kaka's initial Pokémon was a Snorlax. There were no powerful Pokémon in the Normal-type, and Snorlax could be considered the face of the Normal-type.
Lu Li also released Tropius.
In the stands, Miss Wang family asked, "Who do you think will be the champion?"
Long Ying next to her heard this, and directly replied without thinking, "Lu Li!"
"What else? Peng Kaka's Snorlax has the strength of a Late-Stage Veteran-Level," Miss Wang family asked back.
Long Ying said confidently, "If you guys can even defeat me, how much more so a mere Peng Kaka?"
"That's not necessarily true. As far as I know, Peng Kaka's Snorlax has mastered Gigantamaxing," Miss Wang said meaningfully.
"What?"
Hearing this, Long Ying looked at Peng Kaka on the battlefield in disbelief.
