I'm not a supporting character in Pokemon

Ironthorn City in Western Europe.

One of the world's leading industrial cities, the iron-gray industrial area is extremely conspicuous even if it is adjacent to the warm yellow buildings. Slightly gloomy clouds cover half of the sky, making the already cold weather even more bleak.

Li Xiang, who was wearing a mask, took the lead, and behind him were not only students from Wudu University, but also school team members from Shanghai University of Technology and Yuzhou University.

Supporters from the three universities lined up in two rows outside the cordon, making noisy noises, and the team members responded with smiles - star trainers are like this, no different from sports stars.

Of course, individuality is also allowed, like a certain aloof white-haired boy who only waved his hands and didn't smile at all. But he doesn't think so highly of himself, and he doesn't intend to do anything special as the captain.

Unexpectedly, the school specially gave him a personal design based on his personality - "Flower of the High Mountain".

Li wanted to swear that this was the first time he knew that this word could also be used to describe men.

At that time, everyone almost laughed out loud.

Coach Miao Shuang couldn't stand it, so he stood up for Song Jie, who was extremely dark-faced, and angrily scolded someone for being rare and strange, and thus saved someone's life.

Otherwise, all that is left to Li Xiang is the friendship between Song Jie and his deep love and responsibility.

And there will be a situation where the three schools will come together. There is no doubt that his previous idea was successful.

After his hard work and reasoning with the facts, Bai Wanhua finally relented and sent someone to negotiate the matter.

After completion, announce the establishment of the cooperative sister-school relationship directly on social platforms. He also explained that Wudu University took the lead in proposing the proposal, and two universities, Wudu University and Yuzhou University, responded positively.

But to be honest, this kind of relationship has actually been very common in recent years. Unfortunately, as the global quota has been solidified to the top three schools, fewer and fewer schools choose to exchange.

But it’s definitely not none.

After the news was announced, it immediately attracted a lot of praise. Although everyone is competing with each other at the regional level, once it reaches the global level, most of them will be unanimous in communicating with the outside world.

Not to mention that some people support multiple school teams.

Three have taken the initiative and shown results, and other universities are not to be outdone and have followed suit.

Including the always arrogant Tiandu Da, this year they missed the global level, and all the limelight was stolen by Yuzhou Da and Lin Feng. Fortunately, the sponsors did not add insult to injury, otherwise they would really explode on the spot.

They want to regain their position, and now they have also adopted the slogan of knowing their shame and then being brave.

The next Modu University and Yuzhou University: Danger!

The latter, in particular, relies on Lin Feng just as the foggy city once relied on Li Xiang. Such a school has no foundation to stand on. When Lin Feng graduates, he will become nothing but a moon in the mirror.

There is not much time left for Yuzhou University.

Fortunately, this has nothing to do with Li Xiang. He has already recruited a talented girl like Qi Xi for Fog City, and there will be a successor within at least four years.

"Hurry up and get in the car!"

Miao Shuang greeted everyone. The global competition will be held some distance from the airport. It will get dark if we don't hurry up.

Some members of the school team had to say goodbye to the supporters who came to pick them up at the airport. It was obvious that they enjoyed the feeling of being noticed. I have to say that this can be regarded as motivation to move forward.

Six pm.

They arrived at the venue for this competition.

They were quite surprised by the place used for accommodation.

"castle?"

What appeared in front of us were huge Baroque castles one after another. Judging from its facade alone, it should be brand new, but it’s hard to tell without going inside...

Western Europe wouldn't take out old castles and use them as dormitories, right?

With a feeling of apprehension, everyone arrived at a certain castle under the arrangement of the staff.

"Well, it's all from last week." Song Jie glanced twice and nodded with confidence.

Ye Mu approached a vase and touched it again, "The body of this vase... is soldered, so it's boring."

"You have one from the Shang and Zhou dynasties, and one from the Western Han dynasty, which makes me very confused." Li Xiang complained silently.

The two of them were too lazy to pick up on his homophonic joke, which reassured some students who didn't dare to let Pokémon out for fear of breaking some antiques.

These are all "defective products" of modern industry, and maybe they are produced by Tieji City itself.

Only then did those people feel at ease.

The other two schools also had discerning people who made suggestions, and everyone felt relaxed and happy again.

Each found a room and went in to calm down.

What was very unfriendly to Li Xiang was that the kitchen here was cramped and small, with only a very basic gas stove and no other equipment, not even a pot or spatula.

"Forcing me to eat in the contestants' cafeteria."

He looked at the confused cat leader and touched its head with some distress, "It's okay, it's just a small problem. Let's go buy it and it's over."

"Meow~"

Meow Boss nodded.

After appeasing the chef, Li Xiang ran to accompany Lucario to clean up the room. These things are all new, but new does not mean clean. It's good that the sofa has a cover, but some places are already very dusty.

Looking for a cleaner? With the swarming of school teams in the past two days, there was bound to be a queue, so he might as well take care of it himself.

Fortunately, the place is big enough, not to mention allowing Kyurem to move around freely, but there is absolutely no problem in turning around with caution.

"I don't like this place very much. 』

Old Long stood on the soft carpet, looked at the burning fireplace in the distance, and shook his head.

"Be patient, I'll go back in a month at most." Li wanted to know whether Kyurem missed his home, or missed the climate of Wudu and Kirishima.

But whatever I can do, I can’t miss the global competition.

Kyurem glanced out through the curtains, curled his lips and said nothing. When he came to such a strange and non-home place, he was destined to stay in the room for a month.

I can definitely stay there, but if I'm unhappy, I'm really unhappy.

To be honest, it also feels strange. Why can't she hide her emotions in front of Li Xiang? Why do she really trust him so much?

Maybe that's it.

Kyurem slowly lay down, feeling peaceful in his heart.

…

There is a week of preparation before the game.

During this week, the three inheritors who had just obtained the super evolution were working hard to practice, hoping to apply it in the game.

Lin Feng complained to Li Xiang in private many times that he spent too much time on business performances. But if I ask him if he particularly regrets it now... he really doesn't.

Improving the quality of life of his family has always been the top priority in this young man's mind. Only after solving this problem can he concentrate on continuing to move forward on the road of being a trainer.

Li Xiang was sarcastic on the surface, but in reality he was mostly encouraging, and looked forward to what the other person would look like when he fully matured.

Time passed like water.

finally.

The global competition officially opened. Thanks to the Phantom Beast and Ultra Beast from the year before, and the Z-move that was exposed last year, many viewers began to look forward to what he would come up with.

However, except for the two giant dragons, he basically has nothing to show.

So he really couldn't respond to the audience's expectations.

And until the end of the group singles, the audience who could not see any new gadgets were extremely disappointed and even thought of "refunding their money".

It's a pity that Li Xiang can't be threatened with a refund, after all, the ticket money won't go into his pocket!

This year, the universities from other regions have basically not changed, and they still have the familiar school badges. This shows that it is not Zhu Xia's case that the global quota is solidified. But Zhuxia has already made a breakthrough.

Other regions are still semi-monopolies - well, they do have monopoly power.

Yuzhou University obviously lacked the foundation and the level of players was uneven. The wheel-and-wheel competition rules at the regional level could still take some advantage, but they really couldn't do it at the global level, so they simply fell to the top 16.

Even the ranking of the top 16 is already very high, last year the Dragon City team was also in the top 16.

The Magic City team was a little better than them, advancing smoothly all the way, but they had no choice but to fall in the semi-finals, that is, the semi-finals.

The Xincheng team, which blasted the Magic City team, moved forward bravely, but was completely beaten by Li Xiang, Song Jie and Ye Mu using super evolution. They didn't even win a game and finished second with a "bald" result.

But everyone thinks this runner-up is worse than the top four.

The media in Zhuxia called this scene - "Calling the Parents".

Team doubles match.

This project was more dramatic. Gong Xu once thought that they had no hope of winning the championship and would have to settle down for a year before they could catch up.

But in fact, they had no hope of winning the championship. When they were in the fourth and second place, they met the champion seed Hanbao Team. Their doubles skills were always online, and Lu Yi and Lu Ling couldn't beat them.

Say goodbye to the top four directly - in fact, Lu Yi and Lu Ling were already at their best. When they were eight to four, they ran into the host Iron Thorns team and defeated the opponent very difficultly and dangerously.

Otherwise, their results should be in the quarterfinals, just the same as the Yuzhou team and the Modu team.

The Lu sisters and the other group were autistic that day and did not recover until the start of the individual singles match.

Gong Xu was actually very angry, but his temper had calmed down a lot now. The two teams that lost when he changed to the youth training camp were designated to be sprayed with blood, which caused a psychological shadow from then on.

But after getting in touch with Li Xiang and the others, I learned another way to vent.

【Fight】.

On the day after the game, he was carried into the room by Li Xiang and Bai Zhou after returning from the training hall. In order to cover the nosebleed that had not been wiped off, he even covered his face with a towel.

As a result, the deacon in charge of chores in the castle was almost frightened by him and called the police.

Who wouldn’t be afraid of being carried in with a white cloth covering his face?

Individual singles match.

As usual, the competition gave him the most byes, but no one was dissatisfied, or even happy to see it.

Song Jie really wanted to imitate Susie and Abigail and meet Li Xiang in the finals.

Unfortunately, his strength has not grown to that point. After all, he is only in the fourth grade and is far from the peak of his strength in school. His final result is the top eight, and he has never beaten the new captain of the Angel City team.

That person was using Super Charem. The [Power of Yoga] characteristic made it quite terrifying in terms of attacks. The resistance and durability were slightly worse, but it was not a big problem.

Because it has superpower attributes that can be called a bug when it is strong.

It also knows the most basic thing like the Divine Mind Shield. With the help of super evolution, it has become particularly durable. Even Song Jie's Super Boss Cordora is difficult to penetrate.

Ye Mu has undergone a super evolution, and even if he is not particularly skilled, his results are better than last year, and he successfully qualified in the group stage. It's a pity to fall in the top 16. If you use super powers together, you can definitely go up.

Throughout the history of the youth competition, there has never been a contestant with superpowers. If Ye Mu uses superpowers to help his Pokémon, and the organizer finds out, it will take a long time.

He may have foreseen that using superpowers would be more troublesome than not, which is why it was useless.

The remaining participants, Wu Ruoxue and Bai Yuanyuan, both improved in their individual singles, and Fogdu Da's overall performance was still very good.

the other side.

However, the performance of the Magic City team was not good. Their highest score was only the top 16 in the group stage. Qu Sheng and Yang Tianwang both failed in the group stage. Their overall crotch pulling caused many people to be dissatisfied.

The Yuzhou team also had the same overall hip stretch, but Lin Feng undoubtedly stood out among them.

On his first appearance on the global stage, he fully demonstrated what it means to be a new dark horse. He forcibly used Mega Evolution with Charizard twice in a row and barely mastered it through actual combat.

After that, they broke out twice, and finally succeeded in winning the right to qualify in the group, almost reaching the quarterfinals.

Made.

It’s a fire-breathing dragon after all!

Li Xiang just wanted to give this guy a thumbs up, and turned to ask Ye Mu and Song Jie what they thought.

"If you can't learn, you can't learn." Ye Mu shook his head decisively. People with super powers cannot be as tough as "people with great luck".

Song Jie's face was plain, "Even if he is one of the top four, I can still kill him randomly."

"fierce."

Li Xiang gave the white-haired boy a thumbs up. People with strong self-confidence are different after all.

Not long ago, he had just won the fourth individual championship in his career, and he inevitably began to consider whether to graduate early.

…

The day after the game.

Before Li Xiang had time to pack his things, he received a call from Mo Ye.

Teacher Mo seemed to be aware that he had just finished the game. He came up and said congratulations before getting down to business.

"Not long after we mastered how to open the Ultimate Cave, we actually put the big paper sword back. But because we never got a reply, we thought it would never come again.

"Unexpectedly, last week, it came back with several other paper swordsmen, and brought a message from the Paper God. The other party seemed to want the little paper swordsman to go back. Because you were competing, I didn't bother you. .”

Li Xiang was shocked.

He was planning to take Zhi Yujian back with him, but he didn't expect the other party to come to him on his own initiative. He couldn't help but immediately ran to the bedroom and found Zhi Yujian playing chess with the Strong Shield Sword Monster.

"If you're okay, I'll come and pick you up later." Mo Ye was still talking on the other end of the phone.

He quickly responded: "Wait a minute, can I discuss it with Zhi Yujian first?"

"Okay, you can discuss it slowly."

Mo Ye hung up the phone.

Li Xiang told Zhi Yujian the news.

Although the latter had no eyes or other facial features, he still used the waveguide to feel the confusion in Zhi Yujian's heart.

"Paper God...looking for me?" 』

This guy has completely mastered the correct word order, but when it returns to the Ultimate Forest, it still has to change it back.

It’s very frustrating.

Of course, the focus is on Zhi Yujian's current thoughts.

Li Xiang asked: "Do you want to go?"

"...I'd better go back. I'm running away from home after all." ”Zhi Yujian hesitated slightly, but was still sure.
