“Are you two ready? If you are, start the battle.”
Qin Hong, who was also serving as the referee, glanced at Shi Yi and Wang Ba.
At this time.
The Water Pokémon, like it saw a monster, turned around in fear and ran towards Wang Ba.
“Yo-bo~~”
The Water Pokémon jumped into Wang Ba's muscular arms.
Was it acting like a spoiled child?
“Yo-bo~ Yo-bo Yo-bo~~”
“Water Pokémon, what’s wrong?”
Wang Ba asked.
“Yo-bo!”
The Water Pokémon cried, looking at Wang Ba.
It was as if it were saying... You still ask me what’s wrong? You think I won’t give you a slap? Didn’t you see what kind of monster the other side has? Can I win against it? Look at you, all those muscles, why don’t you go up there? You fool, quickly admit defeat!
“Wang Ba, is your Water Pokémon going to continue fighting?”
Qin Hong looked at Wang Ba and the Water Pokémon, urging them with some helplessness.
“I…”
Wang Ba hesitated for a moment, as if asking the Water Pokémon's opinion.
The Water Pokémon used its tail to hit the Poké Ball hanging on Wang Ba's waist, and it returned to the ball.
Cowardice?!
Fleeing from battle?!
Seeing this, everyone in the audience was a little dumbfounded.
Including Shi Yi, they all felt somewhat absurd.
The development of this plot was a bit strange, wasn’t it?
“Ahem… Since Wang Ba has chosen to forfeit, this battle is won by Shi Yi and he will advance to the next round.”
As Qin Hong announced the result.
She glanced at the Kangaskhan in front of Shi Yi again.
For some reason, she felt that this Kangaskhan… wasn't like a normal Kangaskhan.
Whether in terms of aura or height, this Kangaskhan… seemed to be too strong!
“Damn! Yi Ge, you hid it deep enough! Your Pokémon is actually a Kangaskhan?!”
“Eleven Boss, you, you, you! You really made me envious! —!”
When Shi Yi returned to the audience seats, Fatty and Qin Xiang surrounded him.
Including other classmates in the class, their faces were full of admiration.
They all asked about the process of Shi Yi capturing the Kangaskhan.
Shi Yi was a little nonchalant and told everyone the fabricated story about capturing the Kangaskhan that he had prepared in advance.
He looked indifferent.
In Shi Yi’s opinion, these people had never seen the world, and a Kangaskhan shocked them?
If the Dratini and Steelix from the Pokémon habitat came out for a stroll.
Wouldn't these people wet their pants?
The competition on the field continued.
The first round of the competition had a total of sixteen rounds.
A total of 32 students in Class 1 of the Battle Department.
Two-on-two, which happened to be sixteen rounds.
Whether it was a coincidence or a deliberate arrangement by the department.
No one was left out.
The second round of the competition, after a half-hour break, unfolded again.
This time.
Shi Yi was the first to appear.
His opponent was Ning Rong Rong, who had luckily won in the first round.
Ning Rong Rong was a little afraid to speak when facing Shi Yi’s Kangaskhan.
Her Spinarak was very tenacious and even spat out a circle of silk.
But… Kangaskhan Mom’s strength was very great and these threads couldn't bind her.
After tearing off the silk threads spit out by Spinarak.
She gently swished her tail, throwing Spinarak out of the field.
When Spinarak fell, it fell unconscious and lost its fighting ability.
...
In the third round and the fourth round, the opponents Shi Yi faced, after seeing the powerful strength of Kangaskhan.
They chose to raise the white flag and forfeit.
Thus.
Shi Yi successfully advanced to the finals.
His opponent in the finals was a lucky guy who had captured a Sceptile.
In a situation where everyone's Pokémon were at their initial, un-evolved stage.
He could have a Sceptile, obviously he was stronger than everyone else.
This allowed him to advance to the finals.
But unfortunately, he met Shi Yi’s Kangaskhan Mom.
Sceptile was defeated by Kangaskhan Mom's fierce two-hit combo, losing consciousness.
“Sigh… Although I already guessed that the result would be like this, Shi Yi, your attack was too brutal.”
Qin Hong shook her head and announced the result while also making a sarcastic remark to Shi Yi.
In fact.
Kangaskhan Mom's two-hit combo, the first hit defeated Sceptile, and the second hit was like finishing it off, directly knocking Sceptile unconscious.
“I already tried to stop Kangaskhan as much as possible…”
Shi Yi scratched his head and could only pass the blame to Kangaskhan at this time.
“Alright, Shi Yi, congratulations on winning the internal freshman competition of our Class 1 of the Battle Department. In a week, you will represent our class to participate in the school-wide freshman competition. Perform well then.”
Qin Hong walked in front of Shi Yi and patted him on the shoulder.
“Okay, I will definitely try my best then.”
Shi Yi smiled.
“Try your best…”
Qin Hong frowned slightly, she had obviously noticed that Shi Yi's Kangaskhan was very high level.
If he went all out, the Pokémon of students from other classes might be beaten up.
But Qin Hong didn't intend to say anything more.
“Get a good rest, in the next few days, students from other classes will hold their intra-class freshman competition. Our class has already finished it and we will start our regular classes. You should try to make use of your free time to train your Pokémon.”
Teacher Qin Hong instructed.
Shi Yi however frowned, a little embarrassed: “Teacher Qin, I want to ask for leave.”
“Ask for leave?”
“Well… for the sake of the school freshman competition in a week, so I can win a good ranking for our class, I want to spend this week training my Kangaskhan.”
“Approved.”
Qin Hong was not a rigid teacher.
Especially when she heard that Shi Yi was doing it for the honor of his class, she naturally approved his request.
“Thank you, Teacher Qin.”
Shi Yi smiled gratefully.
Now that the leave was approved, Shi Yi could legitimately go to the desert secret realm in the Western Xinjiang Province.
And intercept Su Shanshan’s silver opportunity.
...
Back in the dormitory.
Shi Yi packed his luggage briefly.
He told Fatty and Qin Xiang that he was going to live outside for a few days, and then he left directly.
He arrived at the south gate of Linhai University.
Shi Yi hailed a Dratini taxi.
He arrived at the Linhai Department Store in Linhai City.
He had to prepare some things beforehand in order to go to the desert secret realm in the Western Xinjiang Province.
Otherwise, in the desert, he would probably die of thirst.
Shi Yi purchased a mountaineering set, including mountaineering shoes, mountaineering clothes, a mountaineering hat, trekking poles, and so on.
He also purchased a sufficient supply of instant food, including nearly a hundred liters of bottled water, and placed them in his Pokémon habitat.
During these days, Shi Yi had opened up a small storage cabinet in the Pokémon habitat to store his belongings.
The Pokémon inside also knew that they wouldn't usually touch his things.
At the same time.
Shi Yi also purchased Dratini, Steelix, and Kangaskhan Mom's favorite Pokémon food.
Including Pokémon canned food and berries, as well as Pokémon energy cubes and Pokémon snacks.
He also placed them in the storage cabinet in the Pokémon habitat.
After preparing everything, Shi Yi went to the Linhai Airport in Linhai City.
