I'm not a supporting character in Pokemon

In the range from the third to second levels of advanced ball, the gap in strength between everyone is actually not that big.

Because the real strong men are all in the first tier, they are always in a state of charging towards the master tier, and are crazily tortured by the master promotion competition. He developed a rather terrifying ability to withstand stress.

Of course, there are also those who can't bear it. They know that Master Duan has no chance with him in this life, so he has been unable to recover and his rank has plummeted.

When Li Xiang finally met the qualifications for promotion after going through all kinds of hardships and came to the promotion competition, he met such a person.

A native of Saizhou, he looks very fierce with his big waist, round face and muscular face, but in fact he is a forty-nine-year-old veteran who has passed the peak of his strength. Even if the Pokémon still had fighting power, his own body could not support fighting for a long time.

Some extreme fighting methods are more than enough.

He once reached the master level, but quickly fell down after three consecutive defeats, unable to stabilize his position at all.

This situation is generally called a false master.

Since that time, this guy has always been wallowing near a section, but unfortunately he has never been able to rush up to it again. Today, he has entered the stage of retirement.

In other words.

The young and strong Li Xiang began to bully the retired elderly again. But there is no way that there are currently many elderly people in this segment, and young adults are either in the fourth or fifth segment or in the first segment. The second and third segments belong to the "easing zone."

The two met in the venue.

Li Xiang nodded distantly and had no other feelings. However, the old man responded with emotion, "The waves behind the Yangtze River push the waves ahead."

There may be cases where elderly trainers are still active in the rankings, but they know that they are absolutely not good enough. He, the front wave, was about to be pushed to death by the back wave on the beach.

It is still the most brilliant one.

"I don't know if I was so high-spirited when I was young."

He took out the elf ball and threw it forward.

He will always be sentimental as he gets older, but sometimes the feelings accumulated over time can become the strength of him and Pokémon.

"Ouch——"

The wind speed dog, who was wanton and arrogant but could not hide his anger, let out a melodious howl, and a terrifying momentum emerged like a blazing flame!

【Intimidation】!

In the distance, it was as if someone had placed a stone on his head. Li Xiang frowned and his breathing speeded up unconsciously.

But that's all.

He has developed a strong tolerance for this kind of thing, and after taking two or three deep breaths, he will no longer be disturbed.

The same is true for the Koga Ninja Frog that disappeared in front of him. Although its physical attack has been reduced, its condition at this time is actually very good.

Due to the long distance, it did not even enter the [Protective Color] state for the first time. It stood majestically on the spot and increased its clones, showing a provocative look towards the Wind Speed ​​Dog.

The latter were all laughed at by it, and threw themselves forward like a phantom, showing sharp fangs and claws as they ran, and sand and gravel splashed and crackled like bullets wherever they passed.

young people! Don't be too arrogant!

"Smell detection!"

"smokescreen!"

The Koga ninja frogs walked forward nonchalantly, a layer of thick black mist erupted from their bodies, and the pungent smell invaded every inch of the air in the venue, virtually eliminating the possibility of being detected by [Smell Detection]. sex.

How can you be called a young man if you are not angry? ?

The two Pokémon suddenly approached, but Windhound didn't intend to break into the fog and barked suddenly.

"Roar!"

"Hot air!"

Scorching gusts of wind blew out from each of its hairs, and the raging heat waves dispersed the thick smoke that obscured the sight, revealing the figures of the Koga Ninja Frogs and leaving them with nowhere to escape as they rolled in and invaded!

"Flying water shuriken!"

Li Xiang's order came belatedly. Two Koga ninja frogs pinched each other with their left and right hands, and the basketball-sized blue water shuriken flew out in a spin, intertwined and collided with the hot wind, and burst out thick water vapor.

Poof!

The pale white mist made the originally smelly air much fresher.

But the old man's mood did not immediately clear up. He, who had almost devoted his entire life to fighting, knew very well that if Li Xiang could not even command in time and wait for an opportunity to counterattack, he could only passively parry.

It is absolutely impossible to reach the current rank.

What's more, Koga Ninja has always been famous for his cunning methods in his team. If he doesn't take the initiative to attack, he must have a plan!

etc!

The old man's eyes narrowed slightly, not looking at the two Koga ninja frogs that came out of the fog, but looking at Li Xiang, whose posture and expression were very strange.

The strange feeling made him a little uneasy. He always felt like something had happened, and he had experienced this feeling before——

【resonance】!

The information flew through his mind like lightning, and the old man's expression changed drastically. His most unforgettable battle, when he reached the master level during his peak period, was brought about by a strange force and its trainer.

The opponent's identical movements, demeanor and sudden increase in strength made him remember the suffocating feeling of being beaten one-sidedly.

"Be wary of strange smells around you! Crazy Volt!"

The old man suddenly shouted, and the wind speed dog who was staring at the Koga Ninja Frogs immediately understood. Electricity surged in the fur, and then surrounded its body surface like armor.

As it ran left and right, it licked the ground crazily, leaving large burnt brown marks.

However, the Koga Ninja did not quietly run to the Wind Speed ​​Dog as the old man suspected.

It has been standing behind the two clone brothers, racing against time to complete the resonance.

Deep Resonance still has a bit of forward swing. If it is clearly displayed, God knows if the opponent has any way to stop it.

But for now, the other party is indeed smart enough, but it is too bad to think of it.

Why are you jumping back and forth in the sky? Will you just stab others in the back? This is prejudice!

Koga Ninja was very angry, and even Li Xiang was infected with this anger, and then issued an order that was more like a declaration.

"Flying water, shuriken!"

Bang bang!

Two explosions in a row!

The two clones suddenly exploded, and they turned into a huge mist, which obscured the figure of the Koga Ninja surrounded by whirlpools, and also caused the old man's expression to change again.

"Come on! Stop it!"

The old man didn't know what would happen after the change ended, but he knew it wouldn't be a good thing.

Unfortunately, it was already a bit late to step forward at this time.

An even larger amount of water mist spread out in all directions like a sea of ​​clouds. Both the wind speed dog and the old man, who were covered in violent thunder, had no time to escape and were instantly submerged by it.

Then countless figures formed by condensed mist flew from all directions, holding blue shurikens, spinning them at high speed to make them scream like a buzzing sound, and then all slashed at the Wind Speed ​​Dog!

Bang bang bang!

There was a dull sound like a cluster grenade exploding.

"Woo!"

How could Fengsu Gou's small body withstand being surrounded by so many "people"? He didn't even have time to make any move, and he rolled his eyes and fainted.

Fast, so fast.

With a speed that doesn't give anyone any time to breathe, he takes down his opponent in an instant!

"This is……"

The old man's eyelids trembled. He knew that resonance would bring a great improvement to Pokémon, but it would never reach this point.

It’s not an exaggeration to say that it’s a transformation of power!

Shadow clone? substitute? Why do they all have entities and can use moves? Resonance can bring such big changes to Pokémon...

Someone in his circle once said that the concept of [Resonance] proposed by the former champion is the standard for master level. If you cannot achieve resonance with Pokémon, then even master level will be unstable.

Many people sneered at it, because there are countless people who have reached the master level without mastering resonance. This thing can only be regarded as an addition to their strength.

Is it possible that Z-moves and super evolutions can bring about qualitative changes in strength?

The old people have experienced the power of resonance, so naturally they will not think like them, but they never expected that [resonance] can be so terrifying.

If he can also resonate, can he be promoted to master level? Do those trainers who are older than him but firmly sit on Diaoyutai also rely on resonance?

Thinking of this, the old man suddenly became worried about gain and loss, so much so that he had to rely on the reminder from the drone Rotom to realize that he wanted to exchange Pokémon.

But the regret in his heart was self-evident, and when he looked at Li Xiang, he was filled with envy and amazement.

The old man understands.

I have no chance to do it again.

not far away.

Li Xiang, who was having a high mental connection with the Koga Ninja, frowned and introduced resonance into the battle for the first time, but he did not expect that it would cause such a big reaction from the old man, and he even made such a stupid mistake as forgetting to exchange.

The various emotions presented by the wave guide in his heart were so mixed that he couldn't see clearly.

But the envy is still very obvious.

With this discovery, he and Koga Ninja nodded with satisfaction and chased the next Pokémon released by the old man.

If everyone's strength is not much different and we can still fight one more, isn't that a dimensionality reduction attack?

…

Not many people know that Li wants to pass into the second level of senior ball.

He only told a very small number of people.

When talking to others about the details of the promotion match, he focused on sharing the old man's story.

In the three rounds of the promotion round, the opponent who has reached the master level is the strongest and should be the most difficult to deal with.

But under the attack of Koga Ninja's deep resonance with him, it dissipated like gunpowder smoke. But when the battle was over, the other party's expression seemed to be restraining some emotion, which really made him feel strange.

Later, Li Xiang learned that after the old man played with him, he applied to the association to retire and withdraw from the competition.

If the old man chooses to grit his teeth and stay at the senior level no matter how many steps he loses, he still has three or two years left to play, and the benefits he can bring are huge.

It's a pity that there is no if.

The old man retreated so decisively that many people wondered whether Li Xiang had beaten him too hard and knocked away the last bit of his energy——

it's not true.

The other party just fulfilled his responsibility as the front wave, allowing Li Xiang, the more powerful back wave, to push him to the beach and then disappear silently.

By the way, I understood where I was wrong.

Satisfied, he ended his long career as a professional trainer, and the next old man would only be an ordinary trainer.

He might find a few students, or he might live out his days with Pokémon from now on.

It is a pity that the human body cannot break through the limitations imposed by age.

After hearing what he said, everyone was very moved.

Because sooner or later, they will also come to the end of their careers. After all, professional trainers, like all athletes, are on a path that pushes themselves and their Pokémon to the limit.

It's okay when you're young, but your strength drops drastically as you get older, and you only have the advantage of experience compared to those young people.

So everyone can relate to that.

Leaving this topic aside, another important thing -

Open a club.

This matter was finalized last year. Song Jie and Ye Mu were also actively raising funds and buying land. Abigail, Anya and others responded and participated early on.

Susie and Susie also spent their own private money to invest in their club.

Maybe as a student of Meimeng Tianwang, she couldn't fight on Li Xiang's side, but it was still easy to support them with money.

Not only that, she also contacted senior students who graduated from previous batches such as Bai Xiang and Feng Laiyi.

Going to the club almost became like a class reunion.

In terms of money and land, everyone's investment was actually a drop in the bucket. The main source came from Ye Mu and Song Jie's family connections, and the loans approved by the two seniors, Lu Shu and Zhao Jie.

Li Xiang was shocked when he saw a string of zeros on the contract.

"How dare they lend money?"

"How dare you borrow money? Junior, you must know that venture capital is looking for you now, and many banks are also looking for you, rushing to give you money!"

In school, he dared to form gangs and sell information to make money. Later, he even engaged in gambling. Lu Shu, who was crazy and evil, poked him in the chest.

"Nineteen years old! Senior level 2! How many people do you think there are like this in history?"

"But……"

"Don't be a fool. No one is stupid. Since people are willing to lend money, it means they think you can afford it!"

"But the conditions are too generous." It's not like Li Xiang didn't know about loans. Some of the contents in this contract seemed to him to be very illogical.

Well, the logic of capital making money.

"——Well, all I can say is that the person behind this bank is named Jiang." Lu Shu raised her hands in surrender. It was not that she wanted to trick Li Xiang and deliberately concealed the main information. The person who made the main loan asked not to disclose it.

Isn’t it funny!

Can you keep this a secret your whole life?

When Li Xiang heard the word "Jiang", he looked at her in astonishment and took out his phone after five or six seconds.

Call Third Senior Sister Jiang Changrou.

After that, after nearly half an hour of long conversation, he took back the phone with a complicated expression.

The world is full of drama, just like there will be a wealthy eldest daughter in a rented apartment, or there will be a daughter of the patriarch of a top family in a small rural family.

There are two largest banks in Zhuxia, one named Jiang and the other named Xie.

Li Xiang has known Third Senior Sister for nearly nine years, and this is the first time he knows that Jiang Changrou is such a ginger!

No wonder that after causing a small-scale storm on the Internet, the news disappeared without a trace a day or two later. This is a regional bank backed by the Zhuxia Association!

After my childhood friend was the main character and the one behind me was the mine owner’s son, my senior sister’s family opened a big bank.

Just great.

Li Xiang always remembered that when he asked the third senior sister what she did at home, the other party said, "I do a little business at home."

Well, it is indeed quite small, only at the Fortune Global 500 level.
