Pokémon: Master System.

Even knowing the chances were slim, looking at the beautiful Zhao Ruohan, he couldn't help but want to give it a try, just in case his dream came true.

Faced with everyone's confessions, Zhao Ruohan calmly refused. She had experienced this many times before and was already quite familiar with it.

Su Muzi, on the other hand, didn't get a single person to talk to while sitting next to Xia Yu.

It was clear that everyone had already accepted the relationship between Xia Yu and Su Muzi, and at the same time, they were also envious.

Xia Yu is so lucky; he's already dating the young lady of the Su family.

…………

After dinner, the group, emboldened by the alcohol, insisted on going to sing karaoke. Xia Yu, however, wasn't very interested. He waved goodbye to his old classmates and prepared to go home.

"You guys go ahead, I won't go. I'm going home. I have things to do tomorrow."

"Brother Yu, take care."

Chapter 540 Exhibition Match

The next day. Starlight Dojo.

"Today we are honored to have with us the previous High School Cup champion, the genius Pokémon professor, the hero of Starlight City... Xia Yu, to share his success story. Let's give him a round of applause."

Upon hearing the host's voice, Xia Yu, dressed in a suit and exuding an air of confidence, walked out from backstage.

"Xia Yu!"

"Xia Yu!"

…………

A round of enthusiastic applause and cheers erupted from the audience. Xia Yu took a deep breath, picked up the manuscript written by Zhao Ruohan, and began to read it aloud.

"Distinguished guests, dear friends, good morning..."

…………

The content of the speech remained the same.

Sharing experiences, recounting specific cases, and finally encouraging this year's students, Xia Yu finished reading the lengthy speech of several thousand words in one go.

Finally, thank you all.

After completing the task, Xia Yu stepped off the stage amidst applause, letting out a long sigh of relief. He had finally completed one-third of the task.

…………

in the afternoon.

Xia Yu came to the secret realm to exchange and share experiences with the students in the training camp. Since it was just a simple exchange and sharing of experiences, the process was relaxed and comfortable.

He simply shared his own experience of working hard in the training camp and encouraged everyone in the training camp.

As evening approached, the highlight of the day finally arrived: the exhibition match.

…………

Starlight Dojo.

into the night.

The lights were flashing and the crowd was buzzing.

The Starlight Dojo was already packed with people.

Cheers and shouts rang out continuously, and people waved Xia Yu's posters to cheer him on.

"Dear viewers, good evening. Tonight, Starlight Dojo will be bringing you a special match, which will also be the last public exhibition match of the year for Starlight Dojo."

"Hello everyone, I am Wang Weijia, the commentator for this match."

"I am commentator Qin Yunxin."

To boost the ratings for this competition, Xingguang City spent a lot of money to invite two celebrity hosts, Wang Weijia and Qin Yunxin.

They were also the commentators when Xia Yu won the Western Sichuan Provincial Championship.

"First of all, let's give a warm round of applause to our guests."

"They are Lü Tinghe, champion of the Southwest region; Li Yunyao, flying-type king of the Southwest region; and Tan Yongsen, water-type king of the Southwest region!"

As the host's voice rang out, the camera switched to Lü Tinghe and his two companions in the spectator box.

As the champion of the Southwest region, Lü Tinghe might not come to Xingguang City even once a year. The main reason he came here today is because of Xia Yu.

When Starlight City announced that Xia Yu would be playing an exhibition match today, the tickets sold out instantly on the day they went on sale.

Lü Tinghe happened to have some free time, so he stopped by to watch Xia Yu's match.

Besides the three of them, there were also many celebrities sitting in the stands.

Some well-known trainers, celebrities, internet celebrities, and entrepreneurs also took time out of their busy schedules to watch Xia Yu's matches.

It is said that the front row tickets for this game sold for tens of thousands of yuan, and they are still in short supply.

After introducing the contestants, the host continued, "Welcome to our three guests. Now, let's give a warm round of applause to our contestants!"

"First up is our red team member, Mr. Qin Bin, the former water-type gym leader of Xishu Province and now a Champion-level trainer!"

"Mr. Qin Bin is one of the most famous Water-type trainers in Xishu Province. Before becoming a Champion-level trainer, he served as the Water-type Gym Leader three times in a row with his absolute strength."

"During his tenure as the head of the academy, his win rate was as high as 99%. He is also a benchmark figure in our Xishu Province and one of the strongest academy heads in Xishu Province."

"He is also one of the strong contenders for the title of one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Southwest Region in the future!"

Upon hearing the host's introduction, enthusiastic cheers erupted from the audience.

Qin Bin is also very famous in Xishu Province because he is the Gym Leader of the Water-type Pokémon Gym, and Water is the most numerous type among all Pokémon types.

This has led to extremely fierce competition for the position of Water-type Gym Leader. Qin Bin's ability to stand out and serve as Water-type Gym Leader for three consecutive terms is a testament to his exceptional strength.

Qin Bin was also an opponent carefully selected by the authorities for Xia Yu.

Considering that Xia Yu's Dragapult already possesses strength comparable to an Elite Four Pokémon, the official team specially selected Qin Bin, who has just entered the Elite Four level of trainer. The two are evenly matched and are sure to deliver a wonderful match.

Most importantly, Qin Bin was also known as a genius trainer in his youth, and he was virtually unbeatable in battles against trainers of the same level.

However, the potential of his Pokémon limited his potential, causing him to spend several years training a new batch of Pokémon.

Now that these Pokémon have grown up, it is believed that Qin Bin will grow up at an extremely high speed.

Many people are also looking forward to this match.

An older generation of genius trainers battles against a new generation of geniuses.

"Next up is the blue team's player. He is currently the most sought-after genius trainer, and also one of the top Pokémon professors in China and even the world."

"The champion of the previous University Cup, the hero of Starlight City!"

"He is... Xia Yu!"

…………

Under the blinding light, Xia Yu appeared on the battlefield.

His gaze fell on Qin Bin in the distance.

Qin Bin is only forty years old this year, which is not considered old among King-level trainers; in fact, he could be considered young.

He was looking at Xia Yu at the same time, his expression calm.

"This match is a 3V3 singles unrestricted match, and any item can be used, including but not limited to Z Crystals and Mega Evolution Stones."

"Are you ready? Please raise your hands to signal the referee!"

Xia Yu took a deep breath and raised his hand along with Qin Bin opposite him.

Seeing the two players' actions, the referee raised his flag and then forcefully waved it downwards: "The match begins!"

…………

"Go, Charizard!"

"Go, Mosquito Coil Frog King!"

Xia Yu and Qin Bin threw out their Poké Balls almost simultaneously, and a flash of red light appeared.

The black Charizard and the green Politoed Frog King make their appearance together.

As soon as the Mosquito Coil Frog King appeared, it unleashed water-based energy that spread outwards, and in the blink of an eye, dark clouds filled the sky and a torrential downpour began.

"Qin Bin's team lineup is standard for rainy days, but his rain weather setter is not the common Pelipper, but the relatively rare Poliwag."

"From a support perspective, Pelipper is actually more suitable as a weather setter. Pelipper can learn Tailwind to increase its speed, and its STAB move Hurricane, which always hits in the rain, can also be used against some Pokémon that are weak to flying."

"The Mosquito Coil Frog King is meatier and faster."

The two hosts also analyzed the two players' starting Pokémon, discussing them at length.

"Xia Yu has sent out his signature Pokémon, Shiny Charizard. We all know that after Charizard Mega Evolves, its ability changes to Dawn."

"Xia Yu sent out Charizard as the first to enter the battle, it seems he doesn't want to relinquish control of the weather so easily. Although it's nighttime now and Mega Evolution won't bring sunny weather, we can try to prevent the rain."
