Pokémon: Legend of the Rockies

"almost."

Huang Shu looked at her watch and said to Dongfang and the others.

Hearing this, the three girls got up and went out with Huang Shu. Dongfang, who was feeding the Pokémon, was puzzled:
"District Chief, what are they doing?"

The mayor smiled and said:
"They're going to draw the order of the battle. Hey Dongfang, who is invigilating your exams."

The mayor asked tentatively.

Dongfang looked bitter and said:
"How do I remember this?"

The mayor had no choice but to stop asking.

In fact, generally speaking, the district chief is very happy. Today, three geniuses appeared in the five districts. At the age of 15, they possessed a Pokémon with a first-order evolution. Dongfang is even more amazing. Not only does Dongfang have a new breed of Pokémon, which attracts the attention of big shots, but he also obtained a high-level energy cube manufacturing certificate at a young age.

If their performance is favored by the big shots who came today, then the teaching resources in the fifth district will be greatly increased, even if they don't stay in the fifth district later.

Lai Lin sat on the side, holding a cup of coffee, looking at the east, full of the old father's comfort and kindness in his eyes.

While feeding the Pokémon, Dongfang found that his Pokémon ball was shaking constantly.

"Do you want to eat sparks too?"

Dongfang smiled and released the sparks.

"hey-hey!"

As soon as the sparks came out, he stretched himself, and ran to Dongfang's backpack, skillfully dug out a can of fire-attributed energy cubes, opened the lid, grabbed one and ate it. Seeing this, Dongfang's face was covered in black lines, and then he went up to give Sparks a violence, took the jar and covered it.

Huo Huo hugged his head, a well appeared on his forehead, and shouted at Dongfang, as if he was asking:
"Why the fuck did you hit me!"

Dongfang glared at Huo Hua angrily, and said:
"The scar healed so quickly and the scar forgot to hurt? How dare you eat recklessly?"

The spark trembled, recalling bad memories in an instant...

That was when Huo Hua was still practicing on Gushan Mountain. Because he was too tired, Dongfang took some. According to Huahuo’s physical condition, he gave Huo Huo a special energy cube to eat. Unexpectedly, Huo Huo ate the whole can.

Huo Hua looked at each other aggrievedly, and then looked at the Kami turtle, forest lizard, and strong chicken who were eating happily. Dongfang saw this and understood what Huo Hua meant, and explained:
"They only eat ordinary energy cubes, and they have already evolved. The energy of these energy cubes is not enough, so it's okay to eat more. It's different from you."

Huo Hua lowered her head, hid aside aggrieved, and closed herself off.

Lai Lin, who was drinking coffee by the side, spoke:

"Dongfang, what major are you planning to study?"

Dongfang smiled and replied:

"Of course it's a Pokémon trainer! I'm the man who wants to become a Pokémon master!"

Laylin smiled and said:
"Haven't you considered becoming a Pokémon breeder or coordination trainer? With your talent, I believe you can go further in these two fields."

East said:
"My childhood dream was to become a Pokémon master, travel around the world, and meet all kinds of Pokémon."

Lai Lin looked at the ambitious Dongfang in front of her, smiled helplessly, and didn't ask any more questions. I hope he can stick to his original intention. The reality is very cruel. How many people have to give up their dreams because of the reality.

Soon, Huang Shu and others came back.

"The lottery results are out. Jiang Lengyue is the first to play, then Li Zihan, and finally Wu Wuqian."

Huang Shu said, then turned her head and said to Dongfang:
"Follow us later, the players have special seats for spectators."

Dongfang heard that, hurriedly packed up his things and got ready to go. The three women also took all the Pokmon back into the ball. The four followed Huang Shu and left. Lai Lin shouted from behind:

"come on!"

At this moment, Dongfang was like a soldier about to go to the battlefield, full of pride and ambition.

Following the dark corridor, the four of them came to the entrance of the passage, where many students gathered, Huang Shu turned her head and explained:

"I can only send you here. After a while, you go out. After participating in the declaration, go directly to the viewing platform. I will be in the lounge with District Chief Lai, waiting for your good news! Come on!"

After that, Huang Shu turned her head and left. Dongfang was full of pride, looking at the Pokémon ball in her hand, and then looked up at the three women. Li Zihan was twisting her body to warm up, and smiled confidently at Dongfang; Wu Wuqian was holding a fan, closing her eyes, and fanning the wind leisurely;

An air gun sounded, and everyone's attention was attracted.
Then a broadcast sounded:
"Now invite the contestants to enter the arena!"

The crowd moved around one after another, and Dongfang followed the crowd towards the light. The closer the audience was, the louder their cheers became. Finally, Dongfang was submerged in the light, and the cheers reached their peak.

Looking at the vast lawn in front of him and the cheering crowd around him, Dongfang recalled the scenes of the Pokémon League competition on TV when he was a child. Taking a deep breath, Dongfang took a big step.

Fifteen contestants from five campuses stood in a row in front of the rostrum.

"Look, look! East!"

In the auditorium, Dongfang's parents were anxiously looking for Dongfang, and Dongfang's mother looked around with the camera, so she found Dongfang, adjusted to the maximum focus, faced Dongfang, and took a picture of Dongfang's nervous and constipated face.

"First, raise the national flag and play and sing the national anthem."

Moderator, solemn preaching.

Then a trumpet sounded, and the solemn and sacred Chinese national anthem sounded. At this time, all the people stood up, staring at the bright red national flag, singing the resonant national anthem, and their hearts were full of pride.

"After the ceremony, let me introduce the competition evaluators: Mayor of Jiangnan City—Lin Qingqin; Principal of Jiangnan City Pokémon Academy—Jiang Teng; Director of Jiangnan City Pokémon Alliance Division—Chang Yuan; Deputy Director of Jiangnan City Pokémon Alliance Division—Jiang Huaqiang; Manager of the No. [-] Pokémon Center in Jiangnan City—Qiao Yilan; Manager of the No. [-] Pokémon Center in Jiangnan City—Joe Qiyi;

In the host's introduction, the important figures stood up and received applause. It was finally over, and it was a formalistic speech. Individuals took turns to speak. This is the part that Dongfang hates the most.

Almost an hour later, the speech finally came to an end, and all the fifteen contestants on the scene returned to the rest area, leaving only the two contestants who were due to face off in the first match.

Jiang Lengyue was in the second round, Li Zihan was in the fifth round, and Wu Wuqian was lucky enough to have a bye, so everyone had a break.

In the rest area, Dongfang, Jiang Lengyue, Wu Wuqian, and Li Zihan sat in a row. Dongfang took out many things from his bag and said to the three girls:
"I have an intermediate Pokémon healing spray and a few cans of energy cubes, which can replenish the Pokmon's physical strength and some minor injuries. When you compete, try to avoid too serious injuries..."

The three girls answered Dongfang one sentence at a time, but Dongfang was turned away and didn't continue talking, alas, the substitute has no human rights anyway.

At this time, a familiar voice came:

"East."

Dongfang was puzzled, what a familiar voice.Dongfang turned his head and saw a beautiful woman with blond hair and blue eyes, a high nose and small mouth, and a perfect figure. Reiner was smiling and waving at him.

East joy:

"Leina! Long time no see!"

Dongfang got up, and under the suspicious and unexpected gazes of the three women, he walked up to Reiner and chatted.

"Long time no see, Dongfang."

"Yeah, are you representing District [-] in the competition today?"

"Well, you, Dongfang, are you also representing the five districts?"

Mentioning this, Dongfang sighed and said:
"Hey, I'm just a substitute, and I'm here to watch the game."

Unexpectedly, when he heard that Dongfang was a substitute, Reiner covered his mouth and asked in surprise:
"Are you a substitute? That's amazing."

"Awesome? Where! You are not hurting me, are you..."

Dongfang was puzzled, Reiner was amused by Dongfang's rhetoric, and explained:
"You should know the rules. Your school district will let you be a substitute, which means that the school recognizes that you are capable of one-on-three, which is very good!"

"Hey, is there..."

Dongfang was praised by Reiner, and instantly floated up, laughing happily and giggling, and everyone around looked at Dongfang's side, as if this was the arena:
"Fuck, who is this kid? Why did he walk with girl Reina for so long!"

"Damn it, isn't this the one from the academy, don't you shake Bilian? How did you get so close to Goddess Reiner?"

……

Such words whispered in a low voice, which inevitably reached Jiang Lengyue's ears. Jiang Lengyue frowned, trying to suppress, she didn't know what happened to the groundless anger in her heart. Ever since she was defeated by Dongfang whom she despised, she had complicated feelings towards Dongfang. She didn't know how to express it, so she had to vent it in a hostile way.

When she sees Dongfang's defeat, she will suddenly feel distressed; when Dongfang is talking and laughing with other women, she will feel nameless anger; she always pays attention to Dongfang's news from time to time, and always cares about Dongfang's words and deeds.

She also checked the information on the Internet, but in the end she couldn't accept it, because this was exactly the expression of a crush on someone, and she didn't accept it!How could the daughter of the dignified Jiang family fall in love with someone just because she was defeated once? She wanted to prove that it was just because of her unwillingness to be defeated, or her own character of not admitting defeat.
The first battle ended soon, and the next battle was Jiang Lengyue's. When the announcer finished shouting the order, Jiang Lengyue got up without saying a word, and went to the battle stage.

Seeing that Jiang Lengyue was about to play, Dongfang also finished chatting with Leiner and came to the forefront to watch the match.
