Everyone else is a trainer, but you are a swordsman?

After lunch, Xiao Ling told her father her decision, and soon received a reply asking her to go to the Pokémon Center tomorrow night to receive Pokémon and training resources.

After leaving the restaurant, the two of them strolled around Kaina City. Kaina City's various important buildings were all massive, giving it a sense of spaciousness, as if one were visiting a giant's castle.

There is a hint of the sea in the air, as if walking on the ocean, allowing tourists to better experience the city's style and romance.

As they walked, they arrived at the battle tent in Kaina City.

The battle tent was located in the northern part of Kaina City. If viewed from above, it had a pentagonal shape, with five white areas at the corners and a large pentagonal building in the center.

The white area contained battle fields of various levels, used for small-scale competitions. The pentagonal red building in the center of the battle tent stood out against its surroundings.

"Feng, now that we're here, let's go in and see if there are any games today." As she said that, Xiao Ling happily pulled Feng in and came to a small building.

This small building was specially built as a competition tent, used to announce events, publish schedules, and register for competitions. Walking into the building, Feng saw the types of events displayed on the screen in the lobby.

From advanced to king level, all are available, and the game types include 1v1, 3v3 and doubles. In addition, there are not only various battle games, but also gorgeous competitions.

Feng browsed through the matches on the screen that matched his own strength, and saw the doubles match that was about to start this afternoon. It was currently shown that registration was still in progress.

"Let's sign up for that. Registration hasn't closed yet." Feng said to Xiao Ling, pointing at the screen.

"Well, let's go sign up."

After completing a series of processes including identity registration, Pokémon registration, payment, registration, signing of agreements, and notification of the competition location and precautions, the two discussed competition tactics while waiting for the competition to begin.

This competition has over fifty teams, totaling over a hundred participants. It begins this afternoon and concludes tomorrow afternoon. The prize for the top four is an Energy Cube, while first place gets a choice of three skill discs: Kick Down, Stomp, or Magic Leaf.

……

Two hours later, Feng and Xiao Ling arrived at the white area on the west side of the battle tent.

There is a large screen in the center of the area for grouping, surrounded by different numbered battle venues, and the outer periphery is the audience seats.

While the two were waiting for the game to begin, many trainers had already arrived. Feng took a look at the Pokémon they released and found that their qualifications were not very high. He immediately felt more confident in winning the championship.

Five minutes later, a staff member came in with a microphone and stood on the central podium.

"Hello trainers, welcome to the 'Spiritual Cup' advanced doubles tournament held in the battle tent." A staff member's voice rang out from the surrounding speakers. "The 'Spiritual Cup' was founded by Vice President Gao Cheng of the Hoenn League. It aims to cultivate...; Yamada, the doubles director of the battle tent, emphasized...; Now, I will announce the rules and precautions of the competition..."

After a long and tedious opening speech, the staff began to get down to business.

"Now we will begin the competition groups. Please check the large screen behind the rostrum to confirm your opponents and the competition venue. Please arrive at the designated location within the specified time. Failure to do so will be considered a forfeit."

Feng and Xiao Ling looked up at the screen and saw the groups were displayed. They found their own profile pictures and saw their opponents' profile pictures and the venue of the competition next to them.

Arriving at the designated battle area, Feng and Xiao Ling took their places in the trainer area on one side. On the other side, a boy in shorts, about sixteen or seventeen years old, and a girl in a short skirt of similar age also arrived.

The referee saw that both teams were in position. After verifying their identities, he announced the release of the Pokémon and the start of the game.

The opponent unleashed Ursa and Hunting Butterfly, while Feng and Xiao Ling unleashed Gyarados and Blaziken. Just by looking at the size and aura of both teams, some of the audience already knew the outcome.

"Go straight for the bear and use sharpening claws."

"Hunting swallowtail butterflies, use insect song."

"Gyarados, intimidate (+ scary face) and fly over."

"Flame Chicken, use Sword Dance."

After hearing the start of the game, the four of them gave orders almost at the same time.

The Poké Ball has the function of bouncing back to the hand after releasing the Pokémon, otherwise the trainer would have to go out and pick up the ball.

As expected, the skills of Straight Charger and Hunting Butterfly were interrupted by Gyarados's intimidation, and their movement speed was greatly reduced due to the effect of the terrifying face, while Flame Chicken took the opportunity to complete the sword dance.

The next battle was easy. After the sword dance, the Flammel was like a flaming god of war, invincible on the field.

Hunting Butterfly didn't even learn to hold, and was instantly killed by Blaziken. Straight Bear's hold was tricked out by Gyarados, and then Blaziken kicked it out of the battle field with a kick, hitting the wall next to it and losing its ability to fight.

Seeing how Blaziken defeated two Pokémon so easily, those who didn’t know would think that it was a high-level Pokémon bullying a mid-level Pokémon.

The outcome of this battle was already decided before it even started.

The qualifications of the sprinting bear and the hunting butterfly were only elite level, and their skill pools were also very limited. Not to mention that they were just two ordinary people, even if the champion came to command, there was no way they could defeat the flame chicken and the tyrannosaurus.

……

After finishing their match, Feng and Xiao Ling returned to the center of the area, where there were only a few people. Looking at the screen, the avatars of their opponents had dimmed, indicating they had been eliminated.

Because the win was so easy, there is no need to review it.

Feng and Xiao Ling sat leisurely aside and began to take care of their Pokémon, taking out carefully prepared food and potions to feed them.

After a while, more and more people gathered around, the winner came back, and the loser could leave.

The staff member who had just seen the competition was over picked up the microphone and said, "Congratulations to all the trainers for making it through the first round. You will have 15 minutes to recover your Pokémon's condition. Now we will begin the second round of drawing lots."

15 minutes is enough time for a Pokémon with minor injuries to recover.

However, if a Pokémon is seriously injured, it can only be replaced or the trainer can give up the game. In this round, the organizer did not provide any treatment services for Pokémon, so the trainer had to rely on himself.

Time passed quickly, the draw started again, and the second round of groupings appeared on the big screen.

This time, Feng and Xiao Ling's opponents are two girls. They are about thirteen or fourteen years old. They are full of energy when they walk, and they are wearing trainer uniforms with Poké Ball patterns. Feng guessed that the two are direct trainers of the alliance.
