On Friday, October 1st, the weather was good.

"Brother Bruce, is today the selection day for the first-year student exchange contestants?"

Early in the morning, seeing Bruce washing up, Nero poked his head out of bed and asked.

Bruce wiped his face and then nodded, "Yes, it's today."

Hearing this, Nero shook his head and said, "It's a pity we, the ordinary students, can't watch it."

Due to confidentiality rules, regular students are not allowed to watch the selection for the first-year student exchange.

Of course, this is true for all schools.

"Brother Bruce, stay calm, don't cause too much psychological shadow for the other players," Nero said immediately.

Bruce raised his eyebrows and asked, "Am I that scary?"

Nero held his chin with one hand, thought for a moment, and then nodded, "Yes.

"When you appeared in front of me on a Gogoat in the Secret Kingdom of Oz, I knew you weren't an easy person."

"Of course, it's not as I expected," Nero smiled.

Seeing that Bruce didn't respond, Nero leaned over again and asked, "By the way, Brother Bruce, how are things going with that girl?"

"What girl?" Bruce was surprised.

Nero winked and said, "The library."

"Oh," Bruce nodded suddenly and then replied, "Everything's going well; she's a qualified friend."

"A book friend?" Nero's expression froze.

Bruce nodded and said, "Friends who read books together.

"Alright, I'm going first."

After finishing, Bruce waved goodbye to Nero and left the dormitory.

Soon,

Bruce arrived at the school team's room.

Unlike the past, today the school team room was crowded, and all team members had gathered here today.

With everyone watching expectantly, Liam slowly walked to the front and said loudly, "Everyone, I don't need to say more about what day it is today."

He looked around and said loudly, "It's been a month and a half since field military training, and during this time, the strength of Khoury's top members has improved rapidly.

"Today, we will select 12 contestants here to participate in the freshman exchange competition and represent the school!"

After saying this, Liam paused for a moment and then continued loudly, "Our school team currently has a total of 30 members, of which 12 choose to participate in team competitions and 18 choose to participate in individual competitions."

Individual battles are indeed more popular than team battles.

Hearing this, Bruce sighed lightly.

"Next, let me talk about the format of the competition for this selection."

"Group battles..."

"Individual battles use the arena system."

Arena system?

Hearing this phrase, all 30 members showed a puzzled expression; only the old members seemed to see the fun in it.

Seeing this, Liam smiled slightly and explained, "The so-called arena system means there will be a total of six arenas, corresponding to six contestants."

"Two-on-two battles, the winner stays and becomes the champion."

"The rest can challenge the ringmaster and then repeat the rules now—the winner remains as the ringmaster."

"The challenge time lasts a total of three hours, and there's an energy cube beside it to restore physical strength."

"There's plenty of time, and I hope everyone takes it seriously."

"After the challenge fails, can I still challenge others?" Bin stood up and asked loudly.

"Of course, within these three hours, you have unlimited opportunities to challenge.

"So, if you succeed in the challenge, do your best to protect your own arena. If you fail in the challenge, quickly challenge other contenders."

"In addition, the battle format this time is 2V2."

The freshman exchange match adopts the 2V2 battle format.

"Got it?" Liam looked at the senior members and asked.

"Understood!"

"Understood!"

"Challenging the arena is quite interesting..." Bruce squinted his eyes and thought to himself.

"This can ensure the selection of the six strongest people to the greatest extent possible."

"Well, should I be the champion from the beginning... or challenge it at the end?" Bruce pondered.

"Well, it's 8:40 in the morning, and at 9:00, the selection competition officially begins.

"The team battle will be held in the afternoon."

"Let's head to the battle stadium now," Liam said.

Afterward, the large crowd walked towards the battle stadium, attracting the attention of many students along the way.

Soon after, everyone entered the battle stadium.

In the middle of the first floor is a particularly large battlefield, which can host simultaneous battles in squares.

This is the best arena.

On both sides, there are stands that can hold hundreds of people, and in the front row, dozens of people, including teachers and students, are seated.

The former members and those participating in the team battle selection went to the stands one after another, while the remaining 18 people stayed on the battlefield.

Liam looked down, then raised his head and said loudly, "Alright, it's time."

"Next, it's time for your performance."

After saying these words, Liam turned around and sat in the front row of stands.

"Professor Rodriguez, it will begin soon," Liam said to Professor Rodriguez beside him.

Professor Rodriguez nodded with a smile, his face full of anticipation: "I wonder how these kids have progressed during this time."

Liam responded with a smile, "You'll be satisfied."

"It seems you're very satisfied with them," Professor Rodriguez said, looking at Liam.

"Very satisfied." Liam nodded.

"Good!" Professor Rodriguez clapped his hands and laughed, then continued, "I'm looking forward to their performance."

In the center of the field,

Without hesitation, Azalea Percovich walked directly to the nearest battlefield and stood there calmly.

"This kid has a lot of confidence," Professor Rodriguez sighed.

Choosing to be the champion from the beginning requires strong confidence in one's own strength.

"She has great talent and has made rapid progress," Liam nodded.

At the same time,

Oliver took a deep breath, quickly walked to the battlefield, and then looked around, as if guessing who would challenge him.

"I remember this kid. His Starter Pokemon is a Wartortle. It seems he's made great progress during this time," said Professor Rodriguez.

Liam nodded and said, "Professor Rodriguez guessed correctly; Oliver worked very hard on weekdays, and both Pokemon advanced to the senior level.

"If he was around tenth place initially, he should now be able to rank in the top five."

"Not bad," Professor Rodriguez smiled.

Afterwards, one after another, members went out, either choosing to become the challenge champion or choosing to challenge the champion.

And Bruce, who had always been the center of attention, finally walked towards the last battlefield.

He chose to be the champion and accept challenges from others.

Becoming champion means earning more experience points; Bruce certainly understands this principle.

Seeing Bruce walking towards the battlefield, Professor Rodriguez leaned slightly forward, moved his lips, and asked, "How has his progress been during this time?"

Hearing this, Liam's face was a little strange; he spoke for a moment and then answered, "How should I put it..."

"At this moment, he's between the freshman exchange competition and the university league."

"Eh?"

As Liam expected, Professor Rodriguez's face showed a puzzled expression.

Liam carefully explained, "In the freshman exchange competition, he's a sure champion.

"However, with his strength, he's still a bit far from participating in the university student league."

"Ninety percent of the time?" Professor Rodriguez's pupils suddenly contracted, his face filled with disbelief.

This means that Liam believes the championship is already in Bruce's pocket.

And the last phrase, "close to participating in the university league," is also a very high evaluation.

Professor Rodriguez took a deep breath, calmed himself, and said, "What is the strength of his Combusken now?"(1)

Liam's complexion changed slightly, and he solemnly said, "Invincible at the Professional level."

Professor ster Rodriguez's expression froze.

When Bruce was on the battlefield, Bin did not hesitate any longer and quickly walked to the command position directly opposite Bruce, looking at him from afar.

The two pairs of black eyes met; Bin suddenly extended his hand, pointed at Bruce, and said loudly, "Bruce, let me be your first challenger."

Then, his eyes were like burning golden suns, and he smiled, "Let me see my progress during this period."

Hearing this, Bruce slightly raised the corner of his mouth and said, "I'm waiting for your performance."

Bin stopped speaking, threw the Pokeball in his palm, caught it with a "snap," and stretched it out to Bruce with a smirk.

A second-year member acted as a referee. He raised the flag and said loudly, "Please send out your Pokemon."

Bruce held the Pokeball tightly and threw it at the same time as Bin.

"Go, Kirlia!"

"Go, Tyrunt!"

At the same moment, a white light blossomed, and two figures appeared on the field.

As the first in field military training, most people are filled with curiosity about Bruce.

As the second place, Bin also attracted much attention.

The battle between first and second place caused most people in the stands to watch the battlefield where they were fighting.

"Lilu~"

Kirlia's red eyes are steady, her blue hair sways and her white skirt swings, like a quiet, gentle child, standing silently in the field.

This is her first public battle, no margin for loss!

Seeing Kirlia in a different color, there was an uproar in the stands.

"Shiny Metang, Shiny Kirlia, are you a shiny Pokemon wholesaler?"

"I'm a student, please give me this Flash Kirlia."

Looking at Kirlia in front of him, Bin's expression changed slightly.

The father of the Fairy and Dragon Pokemon!

The other half, the orange Tyrunt, opened its mouth fiercely, revealing its sharp fangs.

Its lower jaw and belly are light gray, there is a ring of white fur around its neck, the forelimbs are short and the hind limbs are thick.

[Pokemon: Tyrunt (Rock/Dragon).

Ability: Maw of power

Qualification: Elite

Level: LV 28 (Senior)]

Very close to the pro Tyrunt, this is Bin's second Pokemon.

0...0

Tyrunt lived 100 million years ago. It is a Pokemon resurrected from fossils. It has a gruff personality and can crush anything with its jaws.

"Worthy descendants of a dragon family, both Pokemon are dragons," Bruce sighed.

On the other hand, I was obviously born into a Psychic family, the Initial Pokemon its strongest Pokemon is Blaziken, which is incompatible with the Psychic family.

"Of course, the little bird and I are traveling companions," Bruce sighed secretly.

He found,

"You are all very close to the level of professional," said Professor Rodriguez looking at them carefully.

"Very good," he continued.

"Kirlia is Bruce's third Pokemon and Tyrunt is Bin's second Pokemon." Liam added.

Professor Rodriguez nodded slightly, he understood what Liam meant.

After pondering for a moment, Professor Rodriguez said in a tone full of exclamation, "The quality of the new students is gradually improving every year."

Liam's eyes flickered slightly and he nodded his head in agreement.

"With the exception of a few talented individuals, the overall quality of the freshmen is improving every year," he said.

"Over ten years ago, Dratini of Lance Elite was only close to the level of professional at this point.

"It wasn't until the eve of the freshman exchange competition that he evolved to Dragonair and reached the pro level."

Immediately afterward, Professor Rodriguez said, "Today, more than ten years later, genius Pokemon like Bin are very close to the pro level."

And Tyrunt is only Bin's second Pokemon.

"As expected, there will be several pro-level Pokemon in this year's Rookie Trading Tournament.

At this time, the Freshman Exchange Competition is still half a month away.

Liam suddenly sighed and said softly, "But Bruce's Combusken... it was already at the pro level a month and a half ago."

Teacher Rodriguez was silent for a moment.

After a long silence, Teacher Rodriguez said, "You can't treat him like an ordinary freshman."

Then, teacher Rodriguez looked at Bruce and said quietly, "That person is the future elite champion."

On the field, seeing the Pokemon sent by both sides, the referee quickly lowered the flag and said in a loud voice, "Game on!"

"Rock Tumble!"

"Roar!"

Tyrunt let out a low cry and the power of the rock spread throughout his body. In an instant, huge boulders appeared from the ground and smashed into Kirlia with awesome power.

"Teleporting," Bruce said calmly with a calm look on his face.

"Lilu~"

Kirlia's eyes glowed with a blue light, and then her body flickered and disappeared in place.

Boom!!!

At the same time, huge boulders crashed into the place where Kirlia was standing a moment ago, accompanied by deafening roars, causing dust and smoke.

*Pay attention behind you!'' At that moment, Bin said sternly.

Hearing this, Tyrunt quickly turned his head and looked back. Kirlia was looking at him silently with scarlet eyes.
