Pokémon: An Encounter with You

October 7th.

Eight in the morning.

The classroom of the Battle Department of Kyoto University.

"You've been like a dragon without a trace these days." Lu Qing was sharp-eyed and caught a familiar junior in the corner at the back of the classroom.

He sat down beside her and asked curiously, "You haven't been spending the past few days in that battle club training elves again, have you?"

"Really not." Shi Qiu said weakly, "I'm busy fighting with old man Yuda!"

"The battle team is about to start selecting." Lu Qing consciously took on the role of a tool man and intelligence officer.

The Kyoto University Battle Group is a special official club open to all students regardless of their major.

Unlike other clubs that need to attract new students at the beginning of the semester, the combat team is supported by the school. All professors in the combat department are listed as instructors, and the resources provided every year are simply countless. The hands-on targeted training and teaching of various elite professors are truly valuable.

"What is the selection method?"

Lu Qing replied: "It's very simple, just have a defense match. It doesn't limit you to winning or losing or defending the match, and there will be students in the fighting group to score."

"If a person is good enough, he can be admitted even if he loses the first game. But if he is not good enough, he will not be admitted even if he wins several games in a row."

"The rules are simple and flexible. But since Rotom will upload the records, there's not much water in it."

Shi Qiu stretched and asked, "When?"

"It started yesterday. If I hadn't seen you today, I was going to call you."

The selection of new students is very suitable for Zoroark and Aledo.

"Shall we go check it out now?"

Lu Qing stared blankly at Shi Qiu packing his schoolbag: "Ah? Are you leaving now?"

Shi Qiu: "Isn't it selection time now?"

"It's selection time...but what about classes?"

"Of course I did! College is incomplete without skipping classes!"

Lu Qing followed his junior in a daze and came to the gymnasium of Peking University.

Kyoto University's North Gymnasium, the entire gymnasium was temporarily requisitioned by the school's combat team.

This gymnasium is quite large, and the assessment venue for the battle group is right in the central area of ​​the gymnasium, which is very conspicuous.

There were a lot of people watching, but they were all students from top universities. Apart from being a little noisy, the order was very good and the match looked almost the same as a regular competition.

There were senior students wearing volunteer uniforms at the scene, organizing the order in an orderly manner.

In addition to the enthusiastic freshmen who continue to pour in like a tide, many old students also come to join in the fun.

Recruiting new members for the battle group can be considered a major feature of the school.

Seniors come to see juniors, seniors come to discuss juniors. Bored seniors are the backbone group that actively responds to various activities in the university.

When Lu Qing and Shi Qiu arrived, a fierce competition was going on on the stage.

"Let's go and register first." Lu Qing pulled Shi Qiu over, turned left and right and came to an old student.

"You are Shi Qiu?!"

Upon hearing their names, the senior student in charge of registration spoke in surprise.

Shi Qiu nodded obediently, but at the same time he had a bad feeling in his heart.

"Okay, when it's your turn, the host will call your name to go to the stage." The senior student put down her pen and made a cheering gesture to the two of them: "Come on! I believe you will definitely make the team."

They came to the ring, where a fluffy sheep and a gas bomb were fighting.

The two examiners fought back and forth in a fast-paced battle.

In the end, the trainer of the Fluffy Sheep was more skilled and, with the help of cotton spores, successfully defeated the gas bombs that the Spiral Ball used to perfection.

However, several senior judges from the official team did not approve it.

"The current performance of this woolly sheep is not up to standard. We still have to wait and see its subsequent performance." One of them, a senior named Xie Zeng, said.

He is the main judge this time and a very strong senior student in the battle group.

"Okay, we need to take a closer look." Several other students nodded.

Seeing that the judges did not approve the contest, the host walked up to the stage and called the next contestant according to the order on the list.

A boy raised his hand when he heard his name. He happened to be standing near the ring. At the host's signal, he quickly stepped onto the stage and sent out his Alidos and Rongrong Sheep to start the fight.

Unfortunately, Ariados's silk and close-range attacks were still blocked by the cotton spores of the Wool Sheep. After a while, the challenger was also defeated.

"Hey, Shi Qiu, look over there."

Lu Qing greeted Shi Qiu in a low voice, and seeing that his junior was almost falling asleep on his shoulder, he could only push him gently without laughing.

Shi Qiu perked up and looked behind the ring following Lu Qing's gesture.

A student was holding a card and talking hurriedly to the host.

"What's going on? Is someone going to go backstage?" Shi Qiu frowned.

"Didn't you say that the water content was very low?"

Lu Qing waved his hands innocently: "I don't know... Don't jump to conclusions, maybe it's something else."

Oh, it’s really not anything else.

"The next examiner is Shi Qiu."

"Didn't I just sign up?" Shi Qi was a little confused, and even the sleepiness in his head flew away completely.

He didn't rush to go on stage and subconsciously looked at Lu Qing.

And our reliable senior is now trying to hold back his laughter: "Go, go. It's your turn and you still don't go!"

Shi Qiu walked onto the stage reluctantly.

"This person seems to be from our class?"

"This person looks so familiar..."

"Shi Qiu...Shi Qiu?! He is Shi Qiu! The son of ice and snow and the god dedicated to the pilgrimage!"

……

Ah, little sister, don’t you feel your toes digging into the ground when you shout out these two titles?

Shi Qiu complained in his heart, but he appeared to be unusually well-behaved, as if he hadn't heard anything.

Lu Qing saw through the child's somewhat stiff mouth and was trying hard to hold back his laughter.

As soon as Shi Qiu appeared, the excitement level of almost all students rose to a new level. Even the order that had been stable for a long time seemed to be out of control.

"I almost forgot that I'm still a public figure..." Shi Qiu sighed and threw out Zoroark's Poké Ball.

We don't need elite high-level elves to bully the seniors, just use this professional entry-level baby which is below the average level.

"Charizard, Purgatory."

Instantly, with the temperature rising sharply, flames like burning sky rose up above the ring.
