At two in the afternoon, in the Competitive Sports Arena of Kandor City, the atmosphere reached its peak, with cheers and applause coming from all sides for a long time. Schools from various universities and colleges contributed to the excitement in the venue."A match in area D." Bruce followed the game numbers, reached area D, and began to wait.
It was the first game, and it was also a match that had attracted the attention of many people.
As soon as Bruce sat down to wait, he noticed indiscreet gazes coming from all directions.
A moment later, under the guidance of the staff, Bruce was on the battlefield.
The opponent in the first game was a slightly chubby boy. Upon seeing Bruce, his face turned white, looking very ugly.
"It's over... the number one favorite."
Yesterday, almost all the contestants noticed Bruce, who took first place, and many people logically dug up the video of the freshman speech from Metropolis University and remembered Bruce's appearance.
Bruce, who has a professional-level Pokemon in military training, deserved the utmost attention from every player.
It's just that the chubby boy didn't expect to be the first unlucky person to meet Bruce.
At the same time,
Kandor City
"Bruce is here!" William and Emma sat on the sofa, cheering as they watched Bruce on the screen.
"As expected of my son, this calm demeanor still follows me." William looked at Bruce with a calm face and couldn't help but murmur.
Emma rolled her eyes and ignored the narcissist William.
"By the way, the father suddenly…" Emma suddenly hesitated to speak.
William nodded slightly, his original hippie smile turning serious as he said, "Our father has his own considerations."
He immediately turned to look at Emma and whispered, "Alakazam is about to break through to the master level."
"Really?" Upon hearing this, Emma seemed surprised.
"Yes," William nodded and continued, "He feels the opportunity and may reach the master level in at most a year."
A smile appeared on his face: "Finally, I won't embarrass the old man."
Emma chuckled and said, "You need to hurry up. If you progress at this speed, Bruce will become a master trainer in a few years. He might even be ahead of you."
To become a Master Trainer, you need at least six Master-level Pokemon.
William scoffed and said, "I'll always be his father, and I'll definitely become a master trainer before him."
William firmly believed this.
Metropolis Capital,
Kunlun University.
"Alice, the freshman student exchange competition has started. Hurry up and support our school's contestants with me!"
Lucia shouted excitedly. After cheering on the players from her school, she turned around and found that Alice had already been silently watching the match.
"Okay, Alice, let's watch the game quietly."
"Who are you watching?"
Lucia ran behind Alice and looked more closely.
Hey, isn't that who?
"This is the new spokesperson for the Metropolis University students. It seems he's called Bruce Bayne..." Lucia had a good memory and quickly remembered the name of this person.
"Alright, Alice, I secretly observed the handsome guy," Lucia made a fair comment.
Then, Lucia moved a chair and sat beside Alice, casually saying, "This Bruce seems to be a popular contender for the championship. I heard he already has a professional Pokemon."
"Well, he's a strong opponent." Immediately after, Lucia pretended to comment.
Kandor City Competitive Sports Arena,
The match between Bruce and the chubby boy began immediately with the referee's whistle.
The two stared at each other and threw their Poke Balls simultaneously.
A white light flashed, and two Pokemon figures appeared on the field.
In front of the chubby boy was an orange and blue Pokemon with gills, orange body, and black fins on its head and back.
[Pokemon: Marshtomp (Water/Ground)
Ability: Torrent
Qualification: Master
Level: Lv 27 (Senior)]
Marshtomp, one of the three starters of Metropolis, comes from a certain generation and lives in sticky, muddy land.
"Not bad." Seeing the level of this Marshtomp, Bruce sighed slightly.
This Marshtomp was already close to the professional level, and Pokemon from the same period are quite strong.
Bruce sent out Gardevoir, with a flowing white dress, elegant and graceful.
"Gardevoir…"
The chubby boy secretly breathed a sigh of relief when he didn't see the rumored Combusken.
He then remembered the requirements for Kirlia to evolve into Gardevoir, and his expression froze.
Professional-level is a necessary condition for her transformation.
"This person actually has a professional-level Pokemon..." A thick fog rose on his face, and the chubby boy was filled with despair.
"That's right, after all, he's from a psychic family."
"But two professional-level Pokemon... how can they fight?!" The chubby boy roared inwardly.
At the same time, Gardevoir's shiny appearance immediately attracted the majority of the attention.
Several cameras pointed at Gardevoir, and the sound of shutters clicking repeated one after another.
A professional shiny Pokemon, any aspect of this would attract countless people's attention right now.
And when two aspects converge on the same Pokemon, everyone goes crazy.
—Ah, ah, how beautiful my wife is!
"Worthy of being the child of a psychic family."
"Two professional-level Pokemon, cheating, right?"
"I ordered it."
Kandor City
"Huh? This little one has turned into Gardevoir." Emma looked at Gardevoir on the screen, and her eyes lit up.
"The progress speed is a bit fast." William squinted his eyes and sighed slightly.
Emma glanced at him and said, "It's not just a little fast; it's so fast it's unusual."
"This child is only Bruce's third Pokemon," Emma added.
"Anyway, it's a good thing," William said.
At that moment, the chubby boy had a dignified complexion. His entire body was tense and extremely nervous.
He bit his lip hard and shouted, "Water Gun!"
At the same time, Bruce's calm voice sounded.
"Magical Leaf."
Field,
Marshtomp opened its mouth, and in an instant, a thick stream of water gathered and struck Gardevoir.
Gardevoir's red pupils glowed brightly, and pieces of Magical Leaf danced with them, suddenly exploding in mid-air.
Boom!!!
Suddenly, the Water Gun and Magical Leaf collided fiercely in the air, making a loud noise.
However, pieces of Magical Leaf pierced through the water in an instant, as if cutting the Water Gun in half, and the latter turned into countless water droplets scattered on the ground.
The Magical Leaf, exuding a vigorous aura, continued to hit Marshtomp and suddenly struck it head-on, exploding against its body.
The explosion continued for a while and then gradually diminished.
The referee looked at Marshtomp, whose eyes had turned into circles, and quickly raised the flag: "Marshtomp is unable to fight!"
For a moment, a commotion broke out in the nearby stands.
"A move in seconds!"
"It's an honor to die under the skirts of Queen Gardevoir."
"As expected of this year's favorite to win the championship, showing a terrifying suppression power as soon as it entered the field."
In the midst of the noisy discussion, the chubby boy's hands trembled slightly as he took out the Poke Ball to retrieve the fallen Marshtomp.
He immediately took a deep breath and looked up to face Bruce, standing opposite.
—It's no good being a professor, no good being a professor...— the chubby boy murmured quietly, slowly calming his mood.
Anyone crushed by an opponent in Game 1 will mentally explode.
Then, under the watchful eye of the referee, the chubby boy threw the second Poke Ball.
—It's up to you, Boldore.
As his voice fell, a red light shot out, and the figure of Boldore appeared on the field.
Boldore's body was primarily made up of a large navy blue rock, with three small navy blue rocks at its sides and behind it as arms, and four sharp polygonal orange stones on the top of its head.
[Pokemon: Boldore (Rock)
Ability: Sturdy
Qualification: Master
Level: Lv 25 (Senior)]
The veteran Boldore, Gardevoir's toy.
"Battle begins!" The referee lowered the flag, announcing the start of the battle once again.
Bruce and the chubby boy's voices sounded simultaneously on the battlefield.
"Gardevoir, Magical Leaf."
"Boldore, Power Gem!" the chubby boy shouted loudly with a flushed face.
After the words fell, the orange crystals on Boldore's body glowed like gems, shining over Gardevoir.
Gardevoir refused to evade and a piece of Magical Leaf shot out, hitting Boldore's body with a 'bang bang bang.'
Gardevoir was hit by the light and suffered minimal damage.
On the other hand, Boldore was hit by the Magical Leaf, its body covered in scars and severely injured in an instant, dying like a candle in the wind.
"Sturdiness worked." Looking at Boldore, who hadn't lost its fighting ability, Bruce nodded slightly.
Many spectators in the stands also knew Boldore's fate.
"Ah~"
Immediately after, Gardevoir crossed its arms, its red pupils glowing faintly, and suddenly its body burst into intense white light like a nuclear transformation, enveloping the entire area.
"What a dazzling and terrifying brilliance." In the stands, someone secretly swallowed and said in a hoarse voice.
The white light gradually dissipated, and Boldore was left covered in bruises, facing the majestic new Gardevoir.
"Boldore lost his fighting ability, so the winner is Bruce!" The referee raised the flag representing Bruce on cue and said loudly.
Suddenly, there was a warm round of applause from both sides of the stands.
Liam folded his arms, looked at Bruce on the battlefield with a calm face and said with a smile, "There's no pressure on him.
"If you want to put pressure on him, you have to wait at least until the finals," Master Rodriguez said with a cheerful smile.
Liam smiled slightly and said the cockiest words in the calmest tone, "It may not be the final."
"This Bruce, this Gardevoir..."
The Kandor University training professor frowned and had a serious expression on his face.
He originally came to observe Bruce's pro-level Combusken, but he didn't expect to see another pro-level Pokemon.
And judging by the combat power currently displayed, it could be called invincible.
"As expected from a descendant of King John Bayne..."
"Psychic-type Pokemon are already difficult to handle, Azalea Percovich's Pokemon are already difficult enough, why did Gardevoir suddenly appear..."
The teachers from other schools who came to inquire about the information also frowned and wrote down Gardevoir's information.
But there are only a few facts about Gardevoir, after all, it only used two moves in the game right now.
It still remains to be seen.
Bruce and the fat kid walked toward the center of the arena, shook hands and then turned to leave.
As he headed to leave the arena, Bruce looked around and discovered that his side seemed to be the first to finish the battle.
Also, from the beginning to the end of the battle, they took less than five minutes.
This is Bruce's first freshman exchange match, which is nothing special.
Afterwards, Bruce sat in the corner of the bleachers to watch other matches.
"By the way, look at the standings."
Lista pulled out his cell phone and logged on to the official website of the freshman exchange competition, where the score of the elimination round was announced in real time.
Bruce Bayne's name impressively ranks first, with 1 point.
The rest of the players have zero points.
After watching the competition for a while, Bruce found that the level of this freshman exchange competition is really good.
As far as the eye can see, almost all of them are Senior to 25th level Pokemon.
Come to think of it, after all, being able to be here means that he has stood out among countless freshmen and can be considered the best among his peers.
Time passed slowly without our noticing, and one battle after another ended.
Because the battle format is 2V2 and the battle level is almost top level, the game time is basically controlled in 15 minutes.
About an hour later, Bruce's cell phone vibrated slightly and the freshmen exchanged frequent messages.
"2 games in area D," Bruce mumbled over the site information and soon arrived at the appropriate location.
The last battle ended soon and Bruce entered the battlefield under the leadership of the staff.
This time, there were more spectators on both sides of the stands, many people came here specially, and many people even took out their cell phones to take pictures.
The favorite to win the championship, John Bayne's grandson, professional Shiny Gardevoir and Bruce are the favorites.
The rival in this scene was a girl, round-faced, who looked cute and cuddly, but when she saw Bruce's figure, she swallowed nervously.
When she learned that her opponent was Bruce, she was already in a mess.
No one wants to face the favorites.
She stood trembling in the command seat, her consciousness still in a trance.
Although Professor Coach had been cheering her on before playing and enjoying the match, the result was not the most important thing.... ...
But no one can face failure calmly, let alone a crushing failure.
Thoughts flashed through her mind, and when she heard the referee's voice saying "Sending Pokemon", the girl let out a deep sigh and secretly cheered.
Then, when she looked up to meet Bruce's calm gaze, her complexion stiffened again.
