As a trainer, he has the rain trait

"I'm sure everyone has been looking forward to this year's opening exhibition match. Without further ado, let us invite the two Pokémon Masters to the stage and demonstrate their mighty powers for us!"

Two figures walked onto the battlefield amid the cheers of the audience and stood on both sides.

"On the red side of the battlefield is the Donghuang Fighting King, Yu Jing!"

A sturdy man with a naked upper body, revealing his bronze skin, well-proportioned and strong muscles, and a crew cut, swept the entire audience with a determined gaze, and only paused briefly in the direction of Zhilin.

Yu Jing, in addition to being the fighting king, is also the owner of the Shanhe Gym, the winner of the fighting tournament gold belt and eight-time champion. He is also Yu Huan's biological father and Wu Zhao's master. His strength must be extraordinary.

"On the blue side of the battlefield is the Eastern Glory Dragon King, Hua Long Quan!"

An old man in Tai Chi clothes clasped his fists and gestured to the audience.

Hua Longquan, President of Peking University and Tsinghua University, elder of the Dragon Clan, and Vice President of the Pokémon Association. He is said to be the most powerful of the Four Heavenly Kings.

These two trainers are among the top, most dazzling and most famous trainers. There are not many opportunities to see them fight with your own eyes. Zhilin couldn't help but quietly move forward a little bit to watch carefully.

Unfortunately, he is not allowed to let the Pokémon out, and he wants to show it to Fluffy!

The elf sent by Yu Jing is a martial arts bear master who practices combo style.

Ursagi is a Pokémon with two forms: a "One-Hit" and a "Combo" form. Ursagi of different "schools" can learn different moves and Gigantamax attacks. However, Ursagi's form change is permanent, determined by whether the Ursagi trains in the Tower of Evil or the Tower of Water. If trained in the Tower of Evil, it evolves to a "One-Hit" form, while if trained in the Tower of Water, it evolves to a "Combo" form.

One of the characteristics of the One-Strike-Ryu martial arts, Bear Master, is that he likes to fight ruthlessly, with linear movements, and can pounce on the opponent from a distance in an instant and deliver a powerful blow.

The Combo-style martial artist, Xiongshi, is calm and composed, able to evade hostility while observing his opponent's movements and testing their strength. In combat, he uses movements like the gurgling flow of water to block his opponent, then unleashes a wave-like series of moves to defeat them.

The two forms of the Wudao Xiongshi (Budo Xiongshi) are similar in size, both possessing a relatively sturdy build and overall coloration. The most obvious difference lies in the distribution and color of the hair on their heads. The Wudao Xiongshi's hair is raised, rising upwards, and their movements are forceful. The Wudao Xiongshi's hair, like a headband, hangs down forward, and the pattern around their head is white. Their most common movements are one leg raised in preparation for an attack, and their movements are relatively gentle.

It was based on this that Zhilin judged that the martial arts bear master of Yu Jing Tian Wang followed the combo style.

Hua Longquan sent out a dragon covered with scaly armor, with a gray body and walking upright. This was the staff-tailed scaly dragon mentioned by Zuo Tingyun before. In addition to the dragon attributes, it also had fighting attributes.

The battle between the two will inevitably be a bloody clash of fists and flesh!

As soon as the martial arts bear master appeared, he took a bodybuilding stance to provide himself with a buff;

The staff-tailed scaly dragon swung its fists covered with steel scales, making the scales on its tail make a clanging sound to intimidate.

The overwhelming pressure made Zhilin squint his eyes. Is this a king-level Pokémon? Just standing there, it exudes an overwhelming aura.

This is different from Zuo Tingyun's onion soldiers. They did not deliberately release pressure, but revealed their deterrent power unintentionally.

The audience seats were far away and were not affected. Instead, they cheered and encouraged the two superstars.

"come on! Come on!"

"Use the flowing shadows of your fists to defeat thousands of enemies!"

"Ola Ola Ola!"

"Ow~"

"The audience's cheers are quite enthusiastic! Now, let the battle begin!"

Martial Arts Bear Master suddenly moved and threw three punches, carrying a strong current of water, attacking the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon at an extremely fast speed, and his punches were so fast that they left afterimages.

The staff-tailed scaly dragon immediately retaliated with three punches.

boom! ! boom! ! boom! !

Water, flames, lightning, and broken ice splashed everywhere. The two sides quickly exchanged three punches. Martial Arts Master Bear did not pause for a moment and fought closely with the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon.

Euler, Euler, Euler!

Countless fist shadows clashed with each other, and bursts of sound explosions rang out, showing how fierce the battle was. Finally, the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon swung sideways and used its thick tail covered with hard and huge scales to pull back the Martial Arts Bear Master.

"Master Martial Arts Bear launched a surprise attack with a water stream combo, and the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon responded with its signature combo: the farmer's three punches. After three hits, the two sides engaged in close combat. The Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon couldn't gain the upper hand, so it turned around and used the strongest part of its body to repel Master Martial Arts Bear!" The host explained the process of the battle to the audience who didn't quite understand it.

Martial Arts Bear Master shouted loudly, his momentum rising again, and white air currents appeared above his fists and attacked for the second time. The Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon danced with its strong but not bulky body, roared, turned 180 degrees, and its dragon tail cut through the air, heading towards Martial Arts Bear Master's fists.

"The repelled Martial Arts Bear Master used 'Qi Condensation' to strengthen himself, then used a 'Qi Fist' combo to attack the Staff-Tailed Scaled Dragon again. The Staff-Tailed Scaled Dragon also strengthened itself with 'Dragon Dance' and didn't forget to weaken it with 'War Roar'. 'Dragon Tail' directly beat up the Martial Arts Bear Master! Oh my god, what a fast combo!"

The floating martial arts bear master found it difficult to gain leverage, so he chose to change his fist into a palm and chop down on the head. The staff-tailed scaly dragon directly raised its claws to block it.

Seeing that he couldn't defeat his opponent for the time being, Master Wudao Bear exchanged a glance with his trainer, then a huge red airflow surrounded himself, and his body grew bigger and bigger, directly occupying a quarter of the entire battlefield. He made movements like standing on one leg and spreading his wings, and three red clouds surrounded his head.

Seeing this, Hua Longquan danced with the agile staff-tailed scaly dragon, and the gem on the bracelet on his left hand shone brightly.

Martial Arts Bear Master waved his claws continuously, and dozens of azure claw marks appeared. The Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon also jumped up, releasing huge sound waves, and the blue-purple sound waves turned into a tornado.

boom! ! !

The flowing azure claw marks and the tornado-like blue-purple sound waves collided with each other, full of violent beauty.

At the same time, many trainers and Pokémon suddenly appeared around the battlefield, releasing light walls and reflection walls together to block the aftermath of the confrontation.

"It's spectacular! Martial Arts Bear Master, after Gigantamaxing, unleashes 'Gigantamax Stream Combo,' and Staff Tail Scaled Dragon uses his Z-Move 'Fiery Soul Dance, Sonic Boom!' A clash of ultimate moves, the ultimate collision!"

Gigantamaxing, or the unique phenomenon of Dynamaxing, originally occurred only in specific locations in the Galar region, where all Pokémon could Dynamax. However, the Alliance, through scientific research, invented Dynamax Energy Stations, allowing Dynamaxing to occur even near these stations. This unique phenomenon, known as "Gigantamaxing," occurs only in certain Pokémon of the same species. After Dynamaxing, Pokémon not only grow in size but also develop a more distinctive appearance. In addition, in addition to the increased abilities of normal Dynamax Pokémon, they can also perform specialized Dynamax moves, known as "Gigantamax Moves," which are unavailable to normal Dynamax Pokémon.

"Super Gigantamax Stream Combo" is the special Gigantamax move of the Super Gigantamax Combo Martial Arts Bear Master.

In fact, both forms of the Buddukama can Gigantamax. After Gigantamaxing, both forms will have their primary skin color turn white. The One-Strike Buddukama has reddish stripes on its body, except for its raised hair. The Combo Buddukama has blue stripes on its body, except for its hair. The Combo Buddukama often stands on one leg, motionless, after Gigantamaxing.

Z-Moves are powerful special moves that are amplified by the trainer's natural power, the "Z-Force." These moves are far more powerful than a Pokémon's own moves, but they place a significant strain on both the trainer and the Pokémon, so most trainers who master Z-Moves only use them once per battle.

To unleash a Z-Move, you need a Z-Band or Z-PowerBand embedded with a Z-Crystal. Your Pokémon must have learned the corresponding move and be carrying the Z-Crystal. While offensive Z-Moves are significantly more powerful than regular moves, they also lose any positive or negative bonuses. Furthermore, the power of the original move will vary depending on its original power. Some Z-Moves have limited applicability, such as Snorlax's Serious Blast, which is a full-strength Z-Move. Even if the opponent defends themselves sufficiently with a full-strength Z-Move, they will still take some damage.

The Z-move of the Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon, "Fiery Soul Dance, Sonic Boom", is an all-out attack Z-move.

Both sides used their ultimate skills and almost collapsed the battlefield. At the same time, if the aftermath of the battle spread out, it would definitely cause casualties. However, the staff of the Linglong Pokémon Arena knew very well what kind of strength the King had. Not only did many Pokémon Masters send out Pokémon with rock and ground attributes to maintain the battle field, but there were also a large number of trainers who were responsible for making Pokémon use double wall moves to ensure safety.

The aftermath ended, the double walls were removed, and the smoke was covered by the water droplets in the sky. The martial arts bear master, whose body returned to normal, used the "Pray for Rain" technique to change the weather and reduce the dust.

The staff-tailed scaly dragon also used the stones from the 'rock blockade' to fill the holes in the field.

Although Martial Arts Bear Master and Staff-tailed Scaled Dragon had some injuries on their bodies, they were not seriously injured. It seemed that this exhibition match ended in a draw.

"Alright, it seems like even with the ultimate moves, both sides are evenly matched, and the match ends in a draw!"

"The opening ceremony of the 75th Donghuang League Young Phoenix Cup has concluded successfully. Players, please leave!"

Zhilin's heart surged as he savored the peak showdown just now. A glimmer of determination flashed in his eyes. One day, he and his Pokémon would become just as powerful! Definitely, definitely!

......

Zhilin, who left the venue first and returned to Chufeng Garden to eat, put the food into his mouth carelessly, his mind still obsessed with the scene he saw in the morning, while the contestants around him were also talking about the morning's exhibition match.

"Which one do you like better?"

"It must be Master Wudao Bear~ He's grown so big! He looks scary!"

"I think Dragonite is stronger. It's a quasi-god Pokémon after all!"

"It's because the Staff-Tailed Scaled Dragon is a quasi-god that Master Wudao Bear's power is evident!"

"That's not what I meant. At the level of a Heavenly King, racial value is no longer important. We've already broken through the upper limit, okay?"

"That makes sense. Quasi-Gods only have a slightly higher ceiling and can consistently reach the Master level."

“So, they’re all pretty awesome!”

"Nonsense! If they aren't powerful, then how could you be powerful?"

Zhilin laughed when he heard this, and simply finished the remaining food. He returned to the guidance room to listen to the information collected by the teachers.

While the players were having their meal, the official released the first round of match groups for the afternoon. Given the teachers' extraordinary abilities, it was not uncommon for them to gather information in an hour.

Zuo Tingyun first explained the competition system and precautions.

Jingchu University's competition zone is naturally the southern zone. In the first round of eliminations, each team will play against five randomly drawn teams. Generally speaking, they must win at least three games to enter the next round.

After they all understand, send them the information about their respective opponents.

Zhilin and his team's opponent is a team that registered through social channels. They are of decent strength and are good training partners.

The opponents of others don't seem to be very strong either.

Time soon came to the afternoon. With the intelligence, Zhilin and his two companions won the next game quite easily. When the five teams gathered in the guidance room again in the evening, they found that people's joys and sorrows were different. The winning teams like Zhilin and his companions were relaxed and happy, but the losing teams were a little autistic.

That’s right, in just the first game of the first round, a team from Jingchu University lost.

The 'Civil Engineering Team' suffered an unexpected defeat against an unknown team. A shell-breaking Blastoise beat three big men so hard that they felt wronged. Zuo Tingjun was speechless, but he did not criticize them harshly. Instead, he comforted them with a few words.

After all, if he blamed them after losing the first game, he was worried that the players' mentality would be affected and they would perform poorly in the subsequent games.

It’s not entirely bad news, Zuo Tingyun thought to himself, with this negative lesson from them, other teams will not dare to underestimate the enemy.

This was indeed the case. Zhilin and his team became more careful to avoid any setbacks. Other teams also stopped looking down on them. Even the most arrogant "Dragon Team" began to read the intelligence seriously.

The competition on the second day was very successful. All five teams won both games without any accidents.

This situation continued until the afternoon of the third day, which was the last game of the first round.

Zhilin and his friends encountered a tough opponent: a team from Jiangnan Dojo. Although they were not the ace of Jiangnan Dojo, they should not be underestimated.

Jiangnan Gym specializes in water attributes and is one of the stronger ones among the eight major gyms.

Captain of the 'Misty Rain Team': Zhuo Yuan, Pokémon: Greatsword Ghost, Starfish.

Team Misty Rain member: Ran Qiyun, Pokémon: Gull.

Team Misty Rain member: Shan Juan, Pokémon: Milotic.

A bit strong! But not too difficult to beat. After all, the Electric-type Fluffy and the Grass-type Sylph are both quite strong against Water-type Pokémon.
