Pokemon: How Are You Cultivating Immortality in the Pokemon World?

In fact, not all精灵 (Jīnglíng -精灵 is kept as is, as it's a general term for spirit/elf/pokemon-like creature) in this world are born with inherited skills, nor can every 精灵 learn skills when leveling up.

精灵 with mediocre aptitude might learn one or two skills after breaking through a major stage, only those truly gifted 精灵 can comprehend skills when leveling up in small increments.

For example, the 波波 (Bōbō - Pidgey) that Jinhuang mentioned, having two skills in the novice stage, is considered quite good for commoners.

In fact, the vast majority of 精灵 don't even have skills in the novice stage, and two unlucky individuals were eliminated in the first batch this morning due to that situation.

"Luli, how was your match?" Jinhuang asked curiously.

Luli said in a calm tone, "It's all about the same, the strength of the new trainers is mostly indescribable."

Both opponents he was matched with this morning were defeated with a single move.

精灵 born in the 精灵 Secret Realm are clearly more talented than those in the wild.

"I thought so too."

Jinhuang nodded.

"It seems that the first and second place in the school will be between the two of us." Jinhuang looked at Luli with a strong fighting spirit.

"Not necessarily."

Luli shook his head with a smile, and then explained, "There is a trainer in Class Three whose initial 精灵 is 阿柏蛇 (Ābōshé - Ekans), and it has also mastered Poison Sting and Poison Fang, that's also a very good opponent."

There are a total of ten classes in the third grade of high school, with about 40 students in each class, but the elite class only has 20 students.

The overall level of Class Three is above average, and Luli didn't expect a "dragon" to emerge from Class Three.

Mastering the Poison Sting and Poison Fang skills in the novice stage, if Poison Fang is inherited, it means that 阿柏蛇's talent is at least elite-level, or even Gym-level.

Hearing this, Jinhuang was stunned for a moment, and then smiled confidently.

Seeing Jinhuang's reaction, Luli immediately understood.

Judging from Jinhuang's reaction, his 可可多拉 (Kěkěduōlā - Aron) is probably not simple either, maybe it inherited at least two skills.

If his guess is true, then Jinhuang's 可可多拉 has at least Gym-level potential.

"By the way, how many people in our class have advanced?" Luli asked curiously.

Jinhuang said with a smile, "16, four unlucky ones were matched with opponents with reverse attributes."

Luli nodded, then picked up a book from his desk and started reading.

It wasn't until the afternoon match started that Luli reluctantly put down the book in his hand.

After arriving at the gymnasium with the 精灵 Ball, Luli came to the sixth venue according to the teacher's instructions.

Luli's opponent is a 尼多朗 (Níduōlǎng - Nidoran♂) trainer.

The 尼多朗 trainer said spiritedly, "The number one in 一中 (Yīzhōng - a high school)? Your myth may end here."

"Go! 尼多朗!"

A 精灵 with a purple body and dark purple patches, long cyan inner ears, and a poisonous horn on its head appeared on the battlefield.

尼多朗! The final evolution is 尼多王 (Níduōwáng - Nidoking), whose race value can reach 505, is a veritable all-around attacker.

Luli chuckled and released 热带龙 (Rèdài lóng - Tropius).

As soon as 热带龙 came on the field, it directly overwhelmed the opponent's 尼多朗 in terms of momentum.

热带龙 is two meters tall, while 尼多朗 is less than 0.5 meters tall. The size alone can bring a full sense of oppression to the opponent.

"My opponent is... a purple rat?" 热带龙 glanced at 尼多朗 with disdain.

After two consecutive victories, 热带龙 already showed signs of looking down on all 精灵.

尼多朗's eyes turned red instantly after hearing 热带龙's taunt.

Without even waiting for the trainer's command, 尼多朗 rushed directly towards 热带龙.

"Tackle?"

A look of surprise flashed across Luli's face, but he still commanded, "热带龙, fly up."

In the novice stage, 热带龙, a 精灵 that can fly, actually has a great advantage in battle.

热带龙 flapped its wings and flew up, 尼多朗 directly pounced into the air, and because it did not attack the target, 尼多朗, which could not stop, rushed directly out of the field.

"The game is over! The winner is Luli from the elite class and his 热带龙!" The referee teacher next to him directly ordered loudly.

Faced with such a dramatic defeat, the 尼多朗 trainer was directly stunned.

If 热带龙 defeated 尼多朗 head-on, he would have accepted it, but the problem is that 热带龙 didn't even use a skill, or even attack actively, and he lost.

"This... this, you... I... alas!"

The 尼多朗 trainer sighed dejectedly and put away 尼多朗, who was still preparing to continue attacking.

Embarrassing, too embarrassing!

His face was flushed, and the 尼多朗 trainer, not knowing whether he was angry or ashamed, tightly grasped the red and white 精灵 Ball.

Luli kindly reminded, "You should train the 精灵's skill proficiency, the novice 精灵 can't stop this kind of all-out attack."

"I know."

Leaving a sentence behind, the 尼多朗 trainer left the gymnasium without looking back.

"Still too young." Luli sincerely sighed.

The power of an all-out Tackle is indeed great, but if it doesn't hit the opponent, it will be very embarrassing, just like 尼多朗 just now.

尼多朗's Tackle still has power.

Moreover, Tackle is obviously 尼多朗's inherited skill. 尼多朗, who has at least one inherited skill, will at least be elite-level in the future.

Jinhua, who was watching the battle not far away, said with disgust, "It's really boring, I thought you would expose your true strength in this game."

Luli, who put away 热带龙, sat down next to Jinhuang.

Luli replied irrelevantly, "You should be on the field soon, right?"

Jinhuang nodded gloomily, "Yes! My opponent's 精灵 is a 腕力 (Wànlì - Machop)."

Hearing that Jinhuang's opponent was actually 腕力, Luli looked at Jinhuang with some pity.

可可多拉 is four times weak to Fighting, Jinhuang has met his match.

Soon, Jinhuang went on the field.

Luli looked at Jinhuang's back with some doubt. Luli found it strange that Jinhuang was matched with this opponent.

With the head teacher's status and connections in the school, it is unlikely that Jinhuang would be matched with 精灵 like 腕力.

It is obvious that someone doesn't want Jinhuang to advance.

"Could it be that the head teacher has offended someone? But who in 一中 has this right? The Dean of Studies or the Principal?" Luli thought curiously.

On the corridor on the second floor of the gymnasium.

Jin Cuilian stared at Jinhuang on the field, silently praying in her heart, "Son, whether you can soar into the sky depends on whether you can catch that person's eye today."

The reason why Jinhuang was matched with 腕力 was all due to her mother's instigation.

It's not that she wants her son to lose, on the contrary, Jin Cuilian wants Jinhuang to win, and she also hopes that Jinhuang will win with skill.

Dou Guomin asked jokingly from the side, "Aren't you afraid that your son will lose?"

"Although my son can't compare to Luli, he is not bad! I believe he will not disappoint me." Jin Cuilian's words were full of trust and expectation for her son.

"First 腕力, then 穿山鼠 (Chuānshānshǔ - Sandshrew), you are really afraid that your son will not have the opportunity to show his excellence!" Dou Guomin sighed.

Jin Cuilian sighed, "If it weren't for the appearance of Luli in 一中, that adult probably wouldn't come to this small place in 一中 for the rest of his life. This is A-Jin's only hope, even if there is only a sliver of possibility, I hope to help him seize it!"

Dou Guomin smiled, a parent's heart is the same all over the world.

As a father himself, Dou Guomin can understand Jin Cuilian very well.
