Chapter 36 Grade-Level Competition (10)

Xuan Mingtian didn't object to Yang Bin's behavior; in fact, he quite approved of it. However, his public displays of affection were so over-the-top that it made one want to punch him.

At this moment, the homeroom teacher and the principal, who were watching Xuan Mingtian's behavior from a distance, were also furious.

"Teacher Chen, could you please tell Xiaotian to stop wandering around like this? Even if he wants to compete at the last minute, that's fine, but all the students watching the event will be staring at him," the principal said.

"Yes, Principal, I'll go right away." After saying that, the homeroom teacher hurriedly ran towards where Xuan Mingtian was.

"Hey, Xiaotian, wait for me!"

Suddenly, Xuan Mingtian heard voices calling his name. He turned around and saw his homeroom teacher rushing towards him.

"Haha, Xiaotian, I finally caught up with you! You're walking so fast!" The homeroom teacher was trying to calm himself down, because running around like that was too tiring for a slightly chubby person.

Xuan Mingtian glanced at the homeroom teacher and said, "Why did you call me? I'm just strolling around."

"Xiao Tian, ​​it's like this, I know you want to fight at the last minute, but you can't just wander around, it might affect other students' matches," the homeroom teacher said earnestly.

However, Xuan Mingtian said, "I didn't ask them to watch me. If they get affected by such a small problem, what kind of trainer would I be? Besides, the reason I was wandering around was to observe their fighting style."

When the homeroom teacher listened to Xuan Mingtian's serious-sounding nonsense, he knew that his persuasion was completely useless.

The homeroom teacher said, "It's up to you, whatever you like."

"Okay." After saying that, Xuan Mingtian turned around and continued to wander around.

When the principal saw Teacher Chen return, he said, "The persuasion didn't seem to work very well. I saw him still wandering around."

"Yes, Principal, it had absolutely no effect. He even said it was to observe other people's fighting styles, and that someone who can't even withstand such a minor influence doesn't deserve to be a trainer," the homeroom teacher replied.

After listening, the principal said helplessly, "Then let him be, there's nothing we can do about it."

Time flew by, and 30 minutes had passed in the blink of an eye. Xiao Gang and Yang Bin remained in third and fourth place on the stage, respectively. Even Chen Qianqian was stuck in eighth place.

Meanwhile, Xuan Mingtian kept wandering around, making the students in Class 3 want to beat him up, but since he was a participant in the competition, there was nothing they could do.

After wandering over to Yang Bin, he said, "Binzi, let's begin the plan."

"Okay, Brother Tian."

After Yang Bin finished speaking, he went straight to Xiao Gang's ring.

"Referee, I want to challenge Brother Gang."

The referee, looking completely bewildered, asked, "Yang Bin, are you sure?"

After receiving Yang Bin's affirmative answer, the referee didn't say much and directly let them start the match.

The other visitors were also dumbfounded as they watched this scene. It was like their own class was fighting against each other. What a fierce internal struggle!

The referee announced: "This round of the title defense will be between Wu Gang and Yang Bin. Both sides, prepare yourselves, and the battle will begin."

"Brother Gang, it's starting. Charmander, use Flamethrower!"

The little dragon roared, its belly swelled up rapidly, and the next moment, a jet of fire shot from its open mouth, hurtling towards the little geodeer.

After exchanging a glance with Rockbiter, Brock shouted, "Rockbiter, let's use Wide Guard!"

With a bang, the wide-area defense that had just been deployed in front of them collided with the jet flames. Less than two seconds later, a shattering sound shocked all the spectators and participants present.

Wide-area defense broke down, and then the flames landed on Geodude. At that moment, the entire rock flew backward against the laws of physics, only stopping when it landed outside the arena.

"Referee, I give up!" Xiao Gang shouted quickly upon seeing this.

The referee nodded in agreement: "The winner of this contest is Yang Bin from Class 1 and his little fire dragon. They will continue to defend their title in 15 minutes."

Xuan Mingtian, who had been following the battle closely, also strolled over.

"Little Gangbin is very good. I almost believed it to be true."

"Xiao Tian, ​​don't say that. If we don't act convincingly, people might think we're pulling a stunt," Xiao Gang said speechlessly.

"Alright, hurry up and let Dehua treat you. Xiaogang, you're about to fight for second place in the arena, so be serious." After saying that, Xuan Mingtian ignored the two of them and continued his stroll.

The break time of 15 had passed, and Xiao Gang headed straight for ring number 2.

"Referee, I'm here to challenge ring number 2." After saying this, Xiao Gang stepped onto the ring at the referee's signal.

The referee announced: "Wu Gang challenges the defending champion Zheng Hao. The match is now officially starting."

Xuan Mingtian watched from afar as Zheng Hao's Pokémon was Newleaf Meow, one of the starter Pokémon from the Padia region, and also the ninth generation Pokémon mentioned in the anime and games of his previous life.

The Padiya region boasts a magnificent natural landscape, with mountains, wilderness, peaks, and lakes forming a vast and continuous expanse of land.

Padiya is also divided into four regions: the northern Frostbite Mountains, which are close to winter; the southern region, which is pleasant in spring; the western region, which is in autumn; the eastern region, which is in summer; and the central region, which is where the Padiya Crater is located.

So many people travel there, and my grandfather and maternal grandfather loved the pleasant spring climate in southern Padiya most. There are also ten beautiful landscapes known as the Ten Views of Padiya. Actually, in my opinion, my grandfather and maternal grandfather loved the secluded beaches in the south most, because many people would vacation there.

Furthermore, the Padia region has a unique evolutionary method called Tai Crystallization. This was created by Dr. Orin and Dr. Futu after they deciphered the Tai Crystallization of the region. These Tai Crystallize Orbs are the power that allows Pokémon to Tai Crystallize in battle. The best explanation is that they can turn 18 types of Pokémon into giant light bulbs while also changing the Pokémon's original type.

So I personally find it a bit strange, after all, why would you turn a perfectly good elf into a light bulb?

Returning to my senses, I scanned Zheng Hao's new leaf cat using the panel.

New Leaf Cat

property: grass

Features: Lush

Qualification: Green

Skills: Claw, tail wag, leaves, bite, sharpen claws, mimic

Evaluation: Average. With its natural talent, it will need to work twice as hard to become a true champion (while other cats are carnivores, this one has become a light-absorbing cat).

The battle had begun, and Zheng Hao gave the first order: "New Leaf Cat, use the Leaf skill first, then activate Sharpening Claws."

"Geosphere, be careful, Grass-type is super effective against you. Use Wide Guard and then Round Up."

After a period of probing, neither side could gain the upper hand.

"Little Geodude, keep playing in the mud and keep getting rounder."

"Hmph, New Leaf Cat, it will continue sharpening its claws after the leaves interrupt it."

Geodude then failed to use its mud-playing skill because it was dodging leaves, which suggests that Zheng Hao had seen through Xiao Gang's tactics.

"Xiao Gang, this won't work. Xin Ye Miao, use the leaves to disrupt its rhythm, then rush up and bite it."

"The little rock uses falling rocks to knock down leaves, then carries them down and bites them."

The leaves danced and collided with the falling rocks. Although the leaves were extremely fast, they could not stop the number of falling rocks. In the blink of an eye, New Leaf Cat had arrived in front of Geodude.

Newleaf Meowth used its Dark-type energy-encased teeth to bite Geodude hard, but the damage was insufficient for Geodude, which had already undergone two rounding transformations.

"Groundhog, activate the Scattering Soil into Eyes."

Just then, as Xin Ye Miao was about to retreat after landing a successful attack, she turned her head and narrowly avoided the "smash dirt into eyes" skill.

"Geosphere, now's your chance, roll and catch up with it."

"New Leaf Cat, retreat while kicking up dust with your hands and feet."

Watching this scene from afar, Xuan Mingtian couldn't help but admire Zheng Hao; he was a very conscious trainer.

After a brief cloud of dust settled, Newleafy successfully distanced itself from Geodude, knowing that if it were to be hit at close range by Geodude, the battle would end at any moment.

"Zheng Hao, show us what else you have to offer. You can't beat Little Geodude in terms of stamina. Little Geodude, keep dropping rocks and making them round. Let's take it slow."

"New Leaf Cat, imitating the addition of leaves."

Bang bang bang! A cloud of dust rose from the ground as the stones collided. Suddenly, five leaves flew through the dust and arrived at Geodude's location. However, Geodude rolled a few steps to the side while using Spherical, causing the leaf skill to miss.

After the dust settled, Zheng Hao looked at the unharmed little fist stone and exclaimed, "Why is your little fist stone undamaged? Even if it becomes round, it's impossible for it to be unharmed."

"Hehe, are you stupid? Who told you that you can't move when it becomes round? It's scary to be uneducated. A soccer ball can move with a gentle push. My little pebbles can roll once when they become round because their center of gravity shifts to one side. Idiot." Xiao Gang looked at him like he was an idiot.

That makes perfect sense. When an elf uses the Circle skill, it tilts its center of gravity slightly, making it easier to roll after turning into a circle. Even our great genius Xuanmingtian understands this little bit of knowledge.

What's the point of Pokémon battles? Skill level is secondary. Of course, there are also one-sided matches. Otherwise, if you let Geodude challenge a Pokémon that can't fly, the opponent wouldn't have to do anything but kick it, and I guarantee Geodude would be buried on the spot.

In Pokémon battles, the competition boils down to skills, techniques, stamina, and adaptability. Simply put, if you excel in math and science, you can conquer the Pokémon world without fear.

At this moment, Xiao Gang's words left Zheng Hao speechless.

"New Leaf Cat, bite the leaf behind you."

When Xiao Gang watched Zheng Hao continue using this set of skills, he already realized that Zheng Hao was starting to lose his composure.

"Geosphere, let's take it slow and use rolling to avoid all its attacks."

As Zheng Hao watched the two Pokémon chasing each other, he shouted at Xiao Gang, "If you're so capable, then stop Geodude and let's have a fair fight."

Upon hearing this, Xiao Gang said speechlessly, "You really are stupid. Can you even beat me? You said you'd have a fair fight, but your Xin Ye Miao is no match for my Little Fist Stone. And why should I fight you? Wouldn't it be better to take it slow?"

"You bastard, New Leaf Cat, keep attacking it with leaves."

"Little Stone, let's use rockfall. Aim carefully before you throw."

The collision of leaves and stones lasted for a full minute. When the dust settled, Zheng Hao saw his new leaf cat lying on the ground, which was the legendary sign of being exhausted.

After seeing this, the referee said, "The title defense is over. The winner of ring number 2 is Xiao Gang. The match will continue in 15 minutes."

At this moment, Xiao Gang said to Zheng Hao, "Your observation skills need improvement. Learn more knowledge, especially mathematics, physics, and chemistry."

"Thank you, Xiao Gang. I will study math, physics, and chemistry hard from now on," Zheng Hao replied.

Xiao Gang and Yang Bin have now become the champions of number 2 and number 3 respectively, and it will be my turn next.
