Pokémon: Back to high school, I became a Pokémon master

Feeling the cool touch on his wrist, Zhou Wenchao was lost in thought, a situation Xia Yuhe hadn't mentioned. With a puzzled mind, Zhou Wenchao stepped into the portal.

After he stepped through the portal of light, the path behind him suddenly disappeared, and he seemed to have returned to the dark maze he had entered at the beginning.

"Little chick, give me a fire."

"Chamo."

The blazing chicken opens its palm, and a flame appears in the chicken's hand, illuminating a small area around it.

Based on the sensation on my wrist and my previous experience, it took about ten minutes before I finally saw the exit. After stepping through the exit, I saw the spiraling black staircase again.

"Ah~"

Zhou Wenchao stared blankly at the stairs leading upwards, somewhat dazed and worried.

Climbing stairs, battling injuries, and navigating a maze—it took Zhou Wenchao about half an hour to complete this ordeal. Xia Yuhe, however, said that there were nine such trials to go on, and wondered when it would ever end!

Twenty minutes later,

Zhou Wenchao stepped into another arena, which was about twice the size of the previous one. Soon, an energy body condensed above it, still in the shape of Dark Kyurem.

However, its aura was much stronger than the previous one, showing the strength of a dojo-level fighter.

"Hua Hua, this time it's up to you." Before stepping into the arena, Ye Feng put away the chick and instead released the Flower Therapy Ring.

"Flower wreath"

Just as Hua Liaohuan got into position, the opponent launched an attack. A chilling aura swept over them, instantly freezing the area around them. Zhou Wenchao couldn't help but shiver.

Despite the biting cold, Dark Kyurem was covered in countless electric currents!

Frozen volt!

When Zekrom and Kyurem are combined, Dark Box Kyurem gains its unique skill!

"Wow, another powerful move!"

Zhou Wenchao saw the afterimage of the Dark Kyurem on the other side charging up and couldn't help but grumble inwardly.

Although it doesn't cause much damage to the Flower Healing Ring, the skill's special effects are quite dazzling. It's hard to imagine how powerful it would be if a real Dark Kyurem used it.

Zhou Wenchao was not in a hurry and quietly waited for Dark Kyurem to charge up!

After charging up its power, its entire body was encased in ice and covered in a powerful electric current as it charged towards Hua Liao Huan Huan!

"Flower, magical flames!"

"Flower wreath~~"

Flower Therapy Ring spat out a dazzling flame from its small mouth and shot it towards the block of ice crackling with lightning!

"Hoohoo!"

A gust of wind blew up the raging fire as it charged forward!

"boom!"

The two collided, and the explosion created an energy vortex that absorbed all the surrounding energy before vanishing without a trace.

"That's really amazing." Seeing this scene, Zhou Wenchao couldn't help but click his tongue in amazement.

"Roar!"

Seeing that his attack had failed, "Dark Kyurem" exhaled a cold breath, seemingly intending to annihilate Flower Ring Ring right there!

"Flower, magic shines!"

"Boom!"

The two skills clashed once again. This time, Flower Healing Ring released some energy, knocking "Dark Kyurem" back several steps, but not killing it.

The two exchanged more than a dozen moves in a short time.

Time passes little by little.

"Flower, that's enough, Magic Flash!"

"Shh!"

The arena was suddenly enveloped in pink energy emanating from the Flower Therapy Rings, and the afterimage vanished without a trace.

Just after the afterimage disappeared, a blue-white light "whooshed" into Zhou Wenchao's wrist, increasing the slightly cool sensation.

"That's pretty much it."

Zhou Wenchao roughly understood that this thing seemed to be a process, with each step having its own steps.

Moreover, through this nearly twenty-minute struggle, he figured out the skills that the afterimage possessed. Most of the ice, electric, and dragon-type skills were very common and not unusual.

The only things to watch out for are its two unique skills: Cross Lightning and Freeze Volt. The former is a powerful electric-type move that cannot come into contact with fire, otherwise it will produce a terrible energy reaction.

The latter is a skill similar to Sunbeam that requires charging, combining freezing and lightning, and has a chance to cause paralysis.

Although it looks impressive, it doesn't actually capture the essence of a mythical beast; it's just a facade.

......

Time passed little by little, and I don't know how much time had gone by.

"Sai Fuhao, use the Gold Rush!"

"Boom!"

The "Dark Kyurem" in front of him fell down, turning into specks of starlight and dissipating into the air. One of the blue rays shot into Zhou Wenchao's wrist once again.

"That's the ninth one."

Zhou Wenchao was slightly out of breath, having finally completed all nine levels.

That imposter from before already had the strength of a near-Elite Four member. If it really had a tenth level, it would probably have to rely on Pidgeot or Diancie.

The cold sensation on his wrist grew stronger and stronger as it accumulated.

This gave him a bad feeling. These nine levels of trials weren't difficult, it was just like...

It seems like it was intentionally made this simple.

If you could just create a champion-level or master-level clone or afterimage, you would have finished long ago. Why go through all this trouble?

"Boom!"

While Zhou Wenchao was still thinking, the entire hall began to shake, the space inside the hall began to slowly collapse, and the surrounding environment was changing rapidly.

In the blink of an eye, he appeared in a brand new palace.

At the four corners of the palace were four battlefields, almost identical to those in front.

Immediately afterwards, a blur appeared on each of the four battlefields; it was none other than the Dark Kyurem.

The aura emanating from them was completely different from before; it had become more spiritual and looked more real.

King level!

Without exception, all four afterimages were at the Heavenly King level.

"Wow, I was just thinking about it in my head, maybe grumbling a bit, but it really came to this!"

......

the other side.

Yue Xiaowei and Xia Yuhe, who had come out early, arrived at the palace above.

"It's been several hours, why hasn't he come out yet? Could something have happened to him?" Xia Yuhe paced back and forth in the empty palace.

"Don't worry, he'll be fine."

Compared to Xia Yuhe, Yue Xiaowei appeared much calmer, looking at the murals on the surrounding walls with great interest.

"Why are you so sure?" Xia Yuhe still had a lot of lingering fears about this because of her previous experience. She was afraid that Zhou Wenchao would have an accident like Afeng.

"That guy, how should I put it? It feels like wherever he goes, something unexpected happens."

Xia Yuhe's lips twitched; it seemed to be true.

Ever since Zhou Wenchao came into her life, she felt that the troubles she encountered were getting bigger and bigger.

"That's true. The test here is only for those at the peak of the Quasi-Heavenly King level, so it's not difficult for him. Could it be that the heavens are favoring him and have given him a few Heavenly King or Champion opponents?"

"Sigh, what a pity." Yue Xiaowei sighed softly. "I didn't get to witness the test you mentioned."

"Tsk tsk~ Why do you seem a little disappointed?"

Xia Yuhe shook her head. Not long after she arrived, Yue Xiaowei came out, which surprised her greatly. She had come here because she had already passed one test.

But Yue Xiaowei's speed was something she hadn't expected.

Yue Xiaowei also explained that she didn't encounter any challenges along the way and just walked out looking fresh and healthy.
