Elf: Starts with small diamonds, then mutates into Diancie.

The first player to be reviewed is Bai Ziyu from Rongcheng. This player is good at using Dragon-type Pokémon. His main Pokémon are Tyranitar in the early Elite level, Duraludon in the early Elite level, and Flygon, which is likely to be his ace Pokémon in the late Elite level.

By now, everyone should have a better understanding of this person's background, right?

Bai Ziyu, who comes from a branch of the Yulong clan, is very good at using sandstorm weather to create a favorable environment for himself. In my mind, he is a strong contender who is guaranteed to be in the top three and strives for second place!

As for why the goal is to secure third place and strive for second, please read to the end!

This year's high school students are quite impressive. They already have three elite-level Pokémon after only one semester of receiving their starter Pokémon. And that doesn't even include the "true" starter Pokémon that these children from wealthy families raised from a young age.

Thankfully, the rules only allow newly caught Pokémon caught during the senior year of high school to participate, otherwise ordinary people would have no chance at all!

The person upstairs is right. If you look through videos from many years ago, you can see that the competitions and college entrance exams back then were almost entirely dominated by the new generation of families who had raised Pokémon from a young age. It was extremely difficult for ordinary people to find a way out.

Fortunately, we can now compete in a relatively fair environment. It's a pity that these restrictions will be lifted after university, and that's when the real battles begin...

19L user:

If you don't understand, just ask. Are you looking for a whole team of senior college students who have already obtained professional-level certificates?

20L user:

6. It seems that the Youth Cup for university students is a true battle of the gods.

We've gone off-topic. By the way, why hasn't the author updated yet? I'm in a hurry, I'm a Styracosaurus!

The second contestant to be reviewed is Wang Bingqian from Shendu City. Her main Pokémon are Espeon and Ninetales, both of which are at the early Elite level, and her ace Pokémon is Venusaur, which is at the mid-Elite level.

This contestant doesn't have a specialization attribute, but she comes from a well-off family, so there's a good chance she can make it to the top four.

31L Bai Xiaosheng:

The third player to be reviewed is Cangyun from Xucheng. His main Pokémon are Pelipper and Ferrothorn in the early Elite stage, and his ace is Kingdra with the Swift Swim ability in the mid-Elite stage.

This person is very good at using the rain team in battle. I am looking forward to seeing whether the sandstorm team or the rain team will be stronger when he meets Bai Ziyu.

......

105L Bai Xiaosheng:

Next up is the ninth person to be reviewed, Lin Xingyan, an apprentice from the original eighteen-attribute dojo, the Fire-attribute Rising Sun Dojo.

Although it's related to the Fire-type Gym in Yangcheng, Lin Xingyan is representing his birth city, Jiacheng, in this provincial preliminary elimination tournament. His main Pokémon are Arcanine (early Elite level) and Blaziken (mid-Elite level), while his ace Pokémon is Charizard (late Elite level).

Lin Xingyan has exceptional talent, but his family background is only average compared to the other contestants. Aspiring to become the Fire Attribute King, he chose to come to Yangcheng and become an apprentice at the Rising Sun Dojo.

He is also the only known strongman with an elite-level late-game Pokémon, and in my opinion, he is a strong contender for the top three.

106L Bai Xiaosheng:

However, if I had to pick someone who has the best chance of winning first place, it would definitely be Su Hao, who comes from Yangcheng and has some connection to the previous contestant, Lin Xingyan.

You probably all have some recollection of Su Hao's parents: Professor Su Qing and Fire-type Gym Leader Su Xu.

If his parents are self-made "first-generation rich," then Su Hao is a "second-generation rich."

The types and strength of Su Hao's Pokémon are currently unclear for some reasons, but this does not change my opinion that he has the highest probability of winning first place in the Sichuan Province preliminary elimination round.

This person dominated Yangcheng High School from the start of the semester, and then spent his time on leave to travel.

The starter Pokémon is Diamondite, and its current strength is unknown.

People might wonder why the Fire-type Gym Leader's son's starter Pokémon is Rock/Fairy type Diamondite, but unfortunately, I don't know why either.

The second Pokémon is quite impressive; it's the only Pokémon Su Hao currently owns with a proven track record in public tournaments—Incineroar.

That's why I dare say Su Hao has the best chance of winning first place.

As the saying goes, "like father, like son," and the Fire/Dark type Incineroar was undoubtedly a Pokémon prepared for Su Hao by his father, which Su Hao has trained to be incredibly powerful.

The only recorded match for Su Hao was a "friendly" contest held in Yangcheng and Rongcheng a month ago.

I won't go into the reasons and process of holding the competition; I'll just talk about the result.

Su Hao's Incineroar was at the mid-elite level in terms of external energy. With just this Incineroar, he wiped out several geniuses from Rongcheng No. 1 High School and defeated more than ten elite Pokémon as easily as cutting melons and vegetables.

This includes Bai Ziyu, the contestant I mentioned earlier who aimed for third place and even second.

This single Incineroar is already so powerful, not to mention the unknown strength and true nature of the other Pokémon in his team.

There's also a rumor that Su Hao has other competition recordings, but these things were censored before they were even released. I even think he'll be able to get a top ranking in the national competition!

Chapter 203 Chengdu

In Chengdu, the largest city in Sichuan Province, a bright orange Pokémon with a license plate flapped its wings and landed outside an impressive battle arena.

"Good job, Dragonite!"

Su Hao patted his large, orange-yellow penis, feeling quite pleased.

He set off from Shuizhou City and spent two days just managing to arrive in Chengdu on June 6.1st, the official start date of the provincial university competition.

"Brother Su, over here!"

Outside the venue, sharp-eyed Li Hua spotted Su Hao immediately.

"Coming, coming!" Su Hao waved his hand, indicating that it would be ready soon.

The Dragonite looked at him with a blank expression, holding up the QR code with its paws, gesturing for Su Hao to scan it: "Pop~"

"Drip~"

After scanning the code and saying goodbye to the Kuailong taxi, Su Hao quickly ran towards Li Hua.

As Su Hao approached, Li Hua nudged him with his elbow: "This time, only the two of us, Brother Cheng, and that superpowered Kong Lingwei are participating in the competition from our school."

Su Hao asked in confusion, "Aren't there eight people?"

Li Hua said awkwardly, "For some reason, the other four people couldn't participate, and Teacher Zhong was very angry."

"What's going on?" Su Hao was very confused. What did he mean by "some reasons"?

Li Hua looked around mysteriously and said, "The spots were allocated to other schools, so they just selected the top four from our school. But they will receive some compensation."

At this point, Li Hua also felt somewhat frustrated.

“They could have participated if they had just persevered a little longer, but it seems that the last tournament made them realize that they might not even pass the preliminary rounds, so they all chose to compensate.”

Su Hao said speechlessly, "This... no wonder Teacher Zhong was angry."

"Forget about them, let's go to the waiting room and wait for the draw." Li Hua shook his head, pulled Su Hao, and ran towards the venue.

"Because there are spectator stands for this match, we'll spend most of our time in our respective waiting areas, except for when we'll be going on stage for the opening ceremony."

Su Hao asked, puzzled, "Waiting room?"

It seems unlikely that this venue will provide waiting rooms for each school...

"Hehe, calling it a waiting room is actually just a temporary waiting area set up around the edge of the arena. We're in section B1," Li Hua replied, scratching his head.

"I see, I understand."

Su Hao nodded. Actually, it didn't matter to him where he was. If he didn't dominate the college cup, he might as well go back to his hometown and become a fruit farmer.

......

"You're here. Please have a seat." Zhong Li freed her right hand and pointed to the empty seat next to her.

Zhong Li held a thick stack of forms in her hands. According to Li Hua, these were intelligence reports on the enemy that she had painstakingly collected over the past few days.

"You're finally here! You always arrive right on time!" Jiang Chengcheng muttered to Su Hao.

Jiang Chengcheng wore her hair in a high ponytail today and looked full of fighting spirit.

Her main concern was that Su Hao would be late, so she always arrived right on time when Pokémon were being picked up.

"It took quite a bit of time to get here. How are you feeling?" Su Hao chuckled and shifted the topic to Jiang Chengcheng and Kong Lingwei, who was sitting quietly beside him.

Kong Lingwei joined the conversation, lowering her voice so as not to disturb Zhong Li, who was organizing documents nearby, and said, "We're all fine, but it's your celebrity status that's attracted quite a few people to hang around here."

"A celebrity?" Su Hao asked, puzzled.

Has he been doing anything lately?

Li Hua leaned over and gossiped, "Hehe, I know this. A while ago, there was a very popular post on the Sichuan section of the Trainers Forum that was pinned to the top for a long time. The content was about listing the strong contenders for the top three in our region."

"It introduces many geniuses, but the author's most admired one is you!"

Jiang Chengcheng showed her phone to Su Hao: "This is it, look."

Su Hao stepped forward and stared at it for a long time before exclaiming, "Ugh, I can't stand this! What if it kills me with its 'milk'?"
