chapter 39

In the morning of Three Purities of the week, the courier delivered the beautifully packaged Everstone to Luke's home.

This time the express delivery is a Pelipper, with a courier box in the big pocket-like mouth, and a waterproof membrane on the outside.

Unpacking the layers, it was just a plain stone in the end, which made Luke feel deceived.

"jie jie~?" Gastly stuck out his tongue and licked Everstone subconsciously.

Whatever it is, lick it once and it's over!

Because of the Piplup Cup, the school specially granted Luke a day off.

Although Luke loves learning more than watching the game.

But the counselor disagrees, and rightly said: "Well, watching the competition is also a required course for Trainer, I understand it!"

"But..."

"Stop it! You want to be a Trainer, I fully support you!"

The counselor coughed vigorously, "I have already approved the leave, so don't worry. Watch the game!"

Luke was deeply sighed and had to take Gastly to the arena center.

Luke's game is approaching the evening, and the afternoon is the game of the other top eight players.

Because Luke is a contestant, he can sit on the sidelines and watch the game closely, which is like a VIP treatment.

Summer is hot.

Luke, wearing sunglasses, sits in the auditorium, supporting the back of the chair in one hand and holding a cold drink in the other.

Gastly also occupies a seat, with a rope tied to an Everstone on his forehead.

As for why not hang Everstone around Gastly's neck...

Because Gastly does not have a neck.

"Sizzle!!"

Gastly poked her head out, drank a large glass of ice-cola through a straw, and groaned comfortably.

After that, Gastly exerted nodded force, and the sunglasses on his forehead suddenly dropped and placed in front of its eyes.

"jie jie~!"

In front of Gastly, there is the [evolution information] provided by Green suspended, and Gastly is using Haze to control it.

Gastly, wearing sunglasses, looks like a gangster, carefully reviewing [Evolution Information], nodded from time to time.

"Sizzle~~" (It turned out to be so~~)

Luke glanced at Gastly: "You brat is really a ghost!"

"jie jie~!"

"sorry!"

At this moment, someone in the back row poked Luke cautiously, with a tone of excitement.

"Is it Teacher Luke...you are Teacher Luke!"

Luke turned around, a little cautious: "First tell me what you are here for."

"I am your water friend, I want to ask you for an autograph!"

Luke is relieved: "Then I will do it, give me the pen."

For personal safety reasons, Luke Normal will not admit his identity.

After all, the tactics are too dirty, and sometimes I am afraid of being recognized when I go out.

Seeing that Luke signed her name, the little girl was a little bit incoherent with excitement.

"I'm your junior sister...I'm from the middle school attached to Magic University, and I will be on the court later, you...can you cheer me on?"

Luke lowered his sunglasses, Looked up and down.

Suddenly remembered what Twain had mentioned with him before, the well-developed junior sister of the attached high school.

"Sally Han is it." Luke said with a slight smile, "Come on!"

Sally Han opened his eyes, stood up, and bowed vigorously: "I will try my best to qualify for the semifinals!"

At this time, a burst of exclamation sounded.

The commentator loudly said: "Both sides showed amazing standards!"

In the field of the battle, there is a match between Angela Shen of Magic City University and Z-University Lu You. .

Faced with Granbull's bite, Magneton disintegrated instantly. While avoiding the Fire Fang, three Magnet pulses suddenly shot out!

The amazing Mirror Shot of the formidable power made Granbull stiff and fell to her knees in embarrassment.

"Granbull has lost the combat capability!" The referee blew his whistle, "Magic City University, Lu You won!"

"It was really good." Luke exclaimed.

This Lu You is the inheritance of Electric Type Gym, and it is said that he has the strength of an official trainer.

And he also became the first player to advance to the semi-finals in this game.

The next game is Sally Han, against a Graveler.

In the game at first, her Brèloom directly defeated Graveler with a continuous Bullet Seed.

"It looks like it is really a water friend." Luke muttered, "I really have to raise a Brèloom."

On the board of judges, Magic City Psychic Type Gym's Gym Leader Tang Hui is whispering to the chairman of the city's Pokémon Association.

"There are many more Grass Type Rookie Trainers in this session."

President Song Pengcheng pondered then said: "It may be related to Substitute-Toxic-Protect-Paralysis tactics. Does it matter how hot it is."

Tang Hui astonished said: "Isn't this strategy difficult to use?"

"At first glance, you just can't keep up with the trend." Song Pengcheng said with a smile, "My granddaughter said, this is currently the hottest tactic on Bilibili!"

Tang Hui shook the head: "I don't understand this... But the next one is Magic City Jiang Yun from University of Communications."

"His Swellow is still quite dominant in this competition."

"Huh? It turned out to be Luke against him? "Song Pengcheng looked at the list in hand, surprised.

"This disadvantage is too great!"

Swellow itself is immune to Ghost Type moves. With perseverance Characteristic Trait, Gastly is proud of Will-O-Wisp. Little effect on Swellow.

Foreseeable, this is definitely a very cruel duel!

"It's a pity, I thought he could perform miracles." Song Pengcheng was a little sorry.

"Non-professional players can enter the quarterfinals. Isn't this already a record." Tang Hui said with a smile.

"I think it is the trainer from Ivysaur, Fang Shu is more worthy of attention."

The sun gradually tilted and the time came to dusk.

Angela Shen has not left the field yet, but hesitated to stand beside the players' bench.

"Didn't you lose, why don't you leave?" Luke astonished said.

"Cheering for..." Angela Shen said in a low voice.

Except for Sally Han, Luke is the last Magic City University player left.

And this is enough to show the fierce competition of this Piplup Cup.

Although Luke didn't feel much, after all, Gastly played in the preliminary rounds and group matches all the way...

Luke stood up and tucked his sunglasses back into his jacket pocket: " Let's go, it's time for us to play."

"jie jie~!"

Gastly, wearing sunglasses, drank the glass of Coke with a sip of The burger was stuffed in his mouth, nodded vaguely.

In this scene, Angela Shen was stunned.

I even brought Coke and Hamburg...

Did you guys come for a game or a picnic? ?

"The players in the next match will be Lu You from Magic City University of Communications, and Luke from Magic City University!"

The commentator loudly said: "It's worth it. What I want to mention is that Luke is the only non-Battle Department player in this tournament, and it refreshed the best result in the history of the tournament!"

"Whether to stop here or climb again Gao Feng, let us wait and see!"

Lu You is a dark, thin, robust man, nodded to Luke, looking a little taciturn.

For such serious players, Luke will not choose to use trash talking to provoke.

After all, the Pokémon who is playing against is Swellow, who is known as the "Bug Swallow". In case it explodes, it is no joke.

"jie jie~!"

Gastly aggressively Levitate was on the court, shaking his head coolly, and flicking his sunglasses off.

Lu You also took out Poké Ball, muffled: "Go on, Swellow!"
