Pokémon: The Bold Rat

After two days of observation, Zhao Yiyuan made a simple division of the opponents in the entire National Freshman Cup.

Among them, trainers like Hu Yuanyuan, whose energy level has only reached the intermediate level and whose moves are not outstanding, are considered to be at the bottom of the preliminary round.

It is purely through greater energy levels or a stronger physique that one can make it past the first preliminary round.

Such players, in a certain school and place, cannot be said to be weak.

After all, they did win by crushing the opponent with their brute force, but to Zhao Yiyuan, this kind of player is the easiest to deal with and not worth training for.

With Rattata's advanced level moves, it is entirely possible for him to take the initiative and gain a big advantage, and then it is very obvious that he will win easily.

Then, there are trainers whose energy levels have reached the intermediate level and whose moves can be combined and linked with each other, including trainers who have reached the mastery level of moves.

The way these Pokémon win is very similar to that of Rattata, both of them rely on moves to gain the upper hand.

But for Zhao Yiyuan, the second type is no more difficult to deal with than the first type, and he can also crush them with faster and better-mastered moves.

Therefore, he had no interest in fighting against this type of trainer, and would let Rattata and the others quickly deal with them when he encountered them.

The third tier is for trainers who have reached advanced energy levels.

The fourth tier, which is also the highest tier, is for trainers who have reached advanced energy levels and whose moves are even more outstanding.

These two types of elves are the opponents that Zhao Yiyuan hopes to encounter.

Even without mastering or combining moves, they are actually very durable just by being at a high level. Even if this type of elf loses the initiative, it still has a chance.

If there are any more subtle moves, then Rattata and the others may not necessarily win.

After all, even the most powerful moves are not omnipotent!

Unfortunately, it is likely that the organizer has its own set of fairness algorithms.

Therefore, the next opponents will all be elves of the first or second category.

The so-called powerful collision never happened at all.

Soon, the qualifying places within the province were locked in, with each province having 3-4 places.

Among them, on the Sujiang side, Zhao Yiyuan firmly occupied one position. As for the other three, two were from the Sujiang Elf University which had been eliminated by him, and one was from the Sujiang Normal University.

As for the other people in the military industry, they were eliminated without surprise.

After all, the second strongest one, Strict Prohibition, is only the first category in his classification.

After struggling for one round in the knockout round, he was eliminated in the second round.

"Hello, you must be Zhao Yiyuan from Jingnan Military University, the one who won first place in the team competition. My name is Zhao Yu, and we are from the same family. Let's get to know each other."

Just as he was thinking about his next opponent, the girl from Sujiang Normal University suddenly came over.

Looking at the cute girl with a round face, big eyes and a bun in front of him, Zhao Yiyuan was a little skeptical about how she would be a teacher in the future if she was so cute.

"Hi, it's me, nice to meet you."

But out of politeness I still replied in a friendly way.

Just when he thought it was just a simple greeting, she sat down next to him.

"Hmm~"

After leaning over to take a look, Zhao Yu smiled and continued to talk:

"You are looking at the player data sheet. Huaqing and Jingda are really abnormal schools. Every year, there are one or two super-standard students.

But I am quite familiar with this person."

As he said that, he pointed at the name at the top with his finger as if it was not unfamiliar to him - Zhao Xu!

This is also one of the few competitors that Zhao Yiyuan feels is a threat, in the fourth tier.

The Pokémon is a high-level Gyarados. In addition, there is a Marasmus, which is not at the high-level, but is not far from it.

After looking at Zhao Xu's appearance in the photo and then at the energetic girl next to him, he suddenly discovered that there was some similarity between their eyebrows.

"Is he your elder brother or younger brother?"

"Brother, you are the face of our Longquan Zhao family."

Hearing Zhao Yiyuan's reply, Zhao Yu was delighted and immediately replied with a smile.

"Longquan Zhao Family!"

These four words shocked him.

The Longquan Zhao family is a large family with dragon heritage and plays a vital role in the Dongxia Alliance. Although they are both provincial-level families, their power and status are far greater than that of the superpowerful Lin family of Yujiang.

In addition to the Lin family's need for supernatural talents, it is also related to the Dragon Pool opening policy formulated by the Zhao family.

Although the head of the Zhao family was lucky enough to obtain a broken dragon cave secret realm during the first major change more than a hundred years ago, he did not selfishly take it for himself, thinking that he and his family would take all the benefits, but instead offered the dragon cave.

The pure-blooded dragon elves inside, such as Haxorus and Dragonite, were distributed to capable people.

This created the extremely powerful Dragon Special Forces team at that time and laid a solid foundation for the establishment of the alliance.

Therefore, after the establishment of the alliance, the Broken Dragon Pool was still firmly in the hands of the Zhao family, but the policy of allowing capable pure-blooded dragon descendants to occupy it remained unchanged.

As long as outsiders can enter the dragon's lair and pass the test, the Zhao family will only congratulate you, even if someone obtains the cub of the quasi-divine Mi Ni dragon.

In contrast, by giving up all rights to the pure-blooded dragon descendants, the Zhao family gained countless second-blooded dragon descendants with deep dragon blood.

Charizard, Thorn Dragon, Gyarados...

When these elves become powerful, they are sometimes not inferior to pure-blooded dragons.

Therefore, the military strength of the Longquan Zhao family is naturally superior to that of the Yujiang Lin family.

Does such a powerful family actually need to send someone to show goodwill to me?

Thinking of this, Zhao Yiyuan looked at Zhao Yu beside him with some confusion in his eyes.

"Haha~ This is just a friendship between our faction, it can't represent the entire Zhao family."

She laughed and said "Haha", this cute girl didn't feel embarrassed at all when being seen through.

“Of course, it would be different if you could defeat Zhao Xu.

We know that you have received the promise of the quasi-god cub. If you are willing to choose a dragon quasi-god from another country, our Dragon Cave can raise him on your behalf.

As long as the bloodline remains, that's all."

Hearing this, Zhao Yiyuan understood that he came for the quasi-god bloodline.

You know, although the three major federations together form the Human Alliance as a whole and have never been hindered in major events, after decades of peace, each country has its own little thoughts.

The quasi-god bloodlines, especially the dragon bloodlines, are strictly protected by the three major federations and are definitely strategic resources.

Any kind of quasi-god cub that Commander Ye mentioned before was definitely a very high promise.

If he really wanted a dragon quasi-god from other regions, Dongxia would definitely have to pay more than twice the value.

In other words, you will probably have to exchange it for two Dratini or two Kiras.

This shows how precious this bloodline is. No wonder the Zhao family of Longquan came to beg for money.

Unfortunately, they didn't know that the country had taken full responsibility for the training of his quasi-god cub.

So, Zhao Yiyuan simply shook his head at this kind of promise.

"Thank you, but I don't need it, and I won't necessarily choose a dragon-type quasi-god."

"Let me tell you, there are many powerful elves in our dragon cave, even dragons from other countries..."

Zhao Yu, who was talking excitedly, suddenly became awkward.

She originally thought that Zhao Yiyuan would definitely agree to this condition. After all, at his current level, he would definitely know that a quasi-god cub is just the beginning. He cannot cultivate it, but can only give it resources, but cannot cultivate a quasi-god of sufficient quality.

Not to mention, the development cycle of the Dragon type is very long. Without special means, the trainer may not be able to advance to the final form even when he is old.

And there is a treasure land in their ruined dragon cave that can speed up the development of pure-blooded dragons.

Besides, there is no quasi-god who doesn’t choose the dragon type!

This made Zhao Yu feel like he was punching cotton and he didn't know how to receive it.

"Uh...hahaha..."

After an awkward laugh, the girl waved her hand and continued, adhering to the principle of friendship that the elders of the family had taught her:

"Well, that doesn't matter. Just treat it as a backup."

"Let me tell you about Zhao Xu and several other top contenders, so you can be prepared if you run into them."

After changing the subject forcefully, she began to talk about the intelligence she had obtained.

"Zhao Xu, in addition to Gyarados, his Tasmaniac has also been upgraded to a high level recently. In the subsequent ranking matches, in a 2-on-2 match, he will definitely have the advantage.

Then there is Jingda’s Wang Quan. His Charizard is not only at an advanced level, but he has also mastered the Flame Whirlpool to a high level. And it is not just a normal level of mastery. He can already perform a variety of moves. This is one of his trump cards…”

"Ah."

Listening to what Zhao Yu said, he listened carefully based on the principle that it would be useless not to listen.

Although he could see on the field, there were some secrets that he could not see, and if he knew them in advance, he would have enough time to think of countermeasures.

While they were chatting, Zhao Yiyuan and Xianyu each went up to play a game.

By the end of the day, he had a general idea of ​​the top candidates to win, and they were pretty much the same as the names collected by the school.

Two from Peking University and one from Huaqing University.

Among them, Huaqing’s favorite to win the championship is Zhao Yu’s brother, Zhao Xu.

As for the students from Kyoto University, one of them is the Charizard player who has mastered the Fire Vortex, his name is Wang Quan, and the other is a trainer who has Swampert, his name is Fang Yijin. Both of them are from aristocratic families and are also the representatives of the leading figures of this generation of the Kyoto circle.

In the internal competition of Beijing University, Fang Yijin won a game with a slight advantage by relying on his attribute advantage.

But this does not mean that Wang Quan is weaker than him. It can only be said that below the elite, attributes are indeed an important factor affecting victory or defeat.

The hard power of the two is actually not much different!

What he didn’t know was that his information was also being placed in front of many people who were determined to win the championship.

"Rattata, a special Sandslash, Psyduck, and only this Ice + Steel Sandslash is worth seeing."

Among them, Wang Quan, who was lying in the bathtub enjoying the caressing of a beautiful maid with a proud look on his face, looked at it with disdain in his eyes.

As one of the most powerful princes in the Beijing circle, he was no fool, and naturally saw the heavily circled words of the moves in the description of Rada.

But at this stage, at most he is just like his Charizard, practicing one move to mastery, and this is the level he achieved with the guidance of several famous teachers and sparring partners.

He didn't believe that a commoner with no background or support could master the skills solely by relying on his so-called natural talent and ability.

In this case, Rattata's biggest advantage seems to him to be equal, so it is the comparison of energy level and size and strength.

Advanced versus intermediate, complete versus initial, how can I lose!!!

Thinking of this, he threw the information aside, hugged the beauty behind him, and used the mandarin ducks playing in the water trick.

Similarly, in another five-star hotel room, Fang Yi Jin carefully looked at the information in his hand and put it down.

"It's pretty strong, but it's not enough to win the championship."

Muttering to himself, he patted the Swampert beside him who was also looking at him curiously, indicating that he wanted to go train together.

In every Freshman Cup, the champion is either from Huaqing University or Peking University, without exception!

Since the restructuring of Elf University, there is actually no big difference in the classification of universities. Ordinary undergraduates are in one category, famous universities such as 985 and 211 are in another category, and Peking University and Huaqing University are in another category!

This is the confidence of top prestigious schools!

In fact, can you say that the other contestants who came to participate in the competition are weak?

You have to know that even if they are ordinary undergraduate contestants, they are top students who dominate a school and are definitely well-known in the local city.

But when you look at the whole country, it’s actually not worth mentioning.

Zhao Yiyuan's achievements and strength cannot be judged by the school or the place, but at least he is one of the most talented people in the province and the region.

Even if you enter Huaqing University, Peking University will not be unknown.

But that was all. As the top freshman who dominated the entire freshman year, Fang Yi had already defeated too many such opponents.

In this way, two more days passed. According to the fair and just algorithm, the relatively weak provinces were eliminated first, such as Tibet Province and Xinjiang Province, these remote areas, and then the strong fought.

With the upper cars intentionally avoiding the obstacles, several popular contenders for the championship did not overturn or collide in advance.

Soon, it was time for the semi-finals. As expected, the remaining four were Zhao Yiyuan, Zhao Xu, Wang Quan, and Fang Yijin, the four favorites to win the championship.

"Please ask contestants Zhao Yiyuan and Wang Quan to go to competition venue No. 1!"

Zhao Yiyuan was unexpectedly called in the first round and was a little surprised.

[How can I put it? In the eyes of the people above, my individual strength as the team champion is actually not as good as theirs? ]

Thinking of this, the boy laughed out loud and stood up from his seat.

Of course he knew that if the news had not been blocked by the military, he would definitely be ranked as the top seed.

But it doesn’t matter, he also wants to fight with more powerful people.

Walking in the contestant channel, I could gradually hear the noise in the venue, especially the passionate voice of the referee.

"I'm coming!"

"Our first semi-final!"

"The red team is our Jingda's first-class master, Wang Quan from the so-called Liuhuo family!"

Along with the introduction, Wang Quan, who was dressed in noble style and had messy hair, walked out from the red passage and gave a thumbs-down gesture to the commentary booth.

"You said I was second, I just had bad luck last time!"

In response, the commentator in the stands could only pretend not to see it.

After all, he can't afford to offend the Liuhuo Wang family!
