“Kati Dog!”
Wang Liang called out with a worried expression.
He had considered the strength of Shi Yi’s Kangaskhan, but he hadn't expected it to be this strong.
“Are you okay, Kati Dog?”
“Woof!”
Kati Dog seemed to possess a resilient spirit, despite being seriously injured, it forced itself to stand up.
Seeing this, Shi Yi couldn’t help but have a higher opinion of Kati Dog.
“It didn’t cower?”
You know.
Headbutt has a 30% chance to make the opponent fall into a state of fear.
In this kind of high-level versus low-level battle, the probability could even double.
Kati Dog being seriously injured yet not cowering, was enough to show that its mental strength was quite powerful.
“A respectable opponent, but unfortunately… you’re still too weak now, if there is a chance in the future, come challenge me again!”
After saying these words.
Shi Yi waved his hand, signaling for the Kangaskhan Mother to end the battle.
Kangaskhan Mother instantly understood Shi Yi's meaning.
With a single move, “Pound,” it directly sent Kati Dog flying out of the arena.
Kati Dog landed and fell into a near-death state from exhaustion.
“Kati Dog, unable to battle, Shi Yi and Kangaskhan win.”
The referee’s declaration was very timely.
Winning this battle meant that Shi Yi had successfully advanced to the afternoon's final.
“Shi Yi!”
Just as Shi Yi was about to leave the stage.
Wang Liang suddenly ran over.
“Hmm?”
Shi Yi turned to look at Wang Liang, his eyes filled with curiosity, as if asking what was wrong.
“Shi Yi, you’re really strong, but… Kati Dog and I will train hard, one day, we will defeat you!”
Wang Liang was very determined.
Shi Yi smiled and said: “Okay, I’ll be waiting for your challenge.”
With that.
Wang Liang took Kati Dog to the medical room of the Linhai University for treatment.
He still had the third-place match in the afternoon.
The second match of the semifinals.
Unlike the one-sided battle between Shi Yi and Wang Liang, this one was rather intense.
Ning Hao from Class 4 of the Battle Department, and Luo Ke from Class 5 of the Battle Department, both fought like they were protecting the last glory of their class.
The battle was incredibly fierce.
The match lasted for more than ten minutes.
Luo Ke narrowly defeated Ning Hao with a slight advantage.
With that, Luo Ke successfully advanced to the afternoon's final.
However.
What was regrettable was that Luo Ke’s Pokémon, due to severe injuries, was unable to participate in the afternoon's final and withdrew early.
Similarly, Wang Hao’s Pokémon also withdrew from the afternoon’s third-place match due to severe injuries.
Thus.
The final and third-place match of the Freshman Cup were directly canceled.
With Shi Yi as the champion, Luo Ke as the runner-up, Wang Liang as third place, and Ning Hao as fourth place, the Freshman Cup concluded.
Regarding the referee’s decision.
Neither the four contestants nor the audience had any objections.
Given the overwhelming dominance displayed by Shi Yi’s Kangaskhan, even if Luo Ke's Pokémon hadn't been injured and was at its peak, it probably wouldn't have been Kangaskhan's opponent.
...
The award ceremony was very simple.
Principal Shen Xiongwei personally presented Shi Yi with the championship trophy and medal.
Then.
It was time for the group photo.
After all the procedures were completed.
Principal Shen Xiongwei walked to Shi Yi, Luo Ke, Wang Liang, and Ning Hao and smiled, “Congratulations to the four of you for successfully winning the top four in the Freshman Cup.”
“Originally, the school only set up three reward slots, namely champion, runner-up, and third place, but the school also saw the exciting battle between Luo Ke and Ning Hao.”
“Therefore, we have specially added a fourth-place reward.”
Hearing Principal Shen Hongwei’s words, Ning Hao’s eyes lit up.
Just now, he was feeling a little down because he had only won a consolation prize.
Now, his mood instantly brightened.
“The four of you, please follow me.”
Principal Shen Xiongwei finished speaking and walked towards the upper floor of the Battle Arena, the four followed closely behind.
Currently, the Battle Arena was in the midst of an exodus, and the five of them walked through the player’s passage, avoiding the crowd.
After reaching the roof of the Battle Arena.
Shi Yi saw an office, at the entrance of the office, an OL-dressed woman with a single ponytail stood there.
Seeing Principal Shen Xiongwei come with the four students.
The woman immediately opened the door to the office.
After the five entered, the woman closed the door.
“Take a seat.”
Principal Shen Xiongwei gestured for the four to sit on the chairs in front of the desk.
Then.
He said solemnly, “The four of you, once again, congratulations on winning the top four in this Freshman Cup.”
“Now, I’m going to award you with the top four rewards, as well as a task from the school.”
Hearing this.
Shi Yi and the other three all looked attentive.
“Let’s hand out the rewards first.”
The principal took four wooden boxes from the drawer and handed them to the four in front of him.
On the wooden boxes, it was written: Champion, Runner-up, Top Four, Top Four.
Seeing these four boxes, Shi Yi suddenly realized, it seems that the fourth-place also receives a reward, it was not a whim of the principal, but rather a planned thing.
What a cunning old fox!
“You can open them and see your rewards.”
The principal gestured with his hand.
Shi Yi looked at the three beside him, seeing that they didn't reach out, he pulled the box labeled “Champion” closer.
He said to the other three, “Since you’re all not opening it, I’ll open mine first.”
With that.
Shi Yi directly opened the box.
A crystal that emitted blue light, appeared before Shi Yi’s eyes.
The sapphire-like, brilliant drop of water, faintly emanated a vast water element.
Seeing the contents of the box.
A set of information suddenly appeared on Shi Yi’s data panel.
【Mysterious Water Drop (Top Quality)】
【Description: A gem in the shape of a water drop. Carrying it will increase the power of water-type moves.】
...
After seeing the information on the data panel, Shi Yi's eyes suddenly brightened.
If it were a normal Mysterious Water Drop, Shi Yi would only feel a little surprised, he wouldn’t have much of an expression.
After all.
Mysterious Water Drops can still be purchased on the market.
About a million Alliance coins, the children of wealthy families would equip their water-type Pokémon with a Mysterious Water Drop.
But… this is a Top Quality Mysterious Water Drop.
It’s very rare, even tens of millions of Alliance coins might not be enough to buy it.
Before.
Shi Yi had purchased a Dragon Fang through a 1-yuan second-kill, directly raising the potential of his Dratini with King-level potential to Champion-level.
This Mysterious Water Drop, probably can also achieve that effect.
In Shi Yi’s team, there was just a King-level potential Wailmer, if he can let Wailmer absorb the energy in the Mysterious Water Drop… he can probably raise its potential to Champion-level.
Thinking of this.
Shi Yi’s eyes shone even brighter.
On the side, the three students, seeing the dazzling Mysterious Water Drop in Shi Yi's box.
They all eagerly opened their own boxes.
Wang Liang’s box contained a burnt black piece of charcoal, of mediocre quality.
Luo Ke’s box contained a sharp bird beak, of high quality.
Ning Hao’s box contained a poisonous needle, of mediocre quality.
It turns out, the school gave out power-boosting props as rewards.
