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

At the moment, Feng's Pokémon isn't very high-level, and the difference in basic quality between him and Pokémon of the same caliber isn't noticeable. But if he reaches Gym level, Quasi-King level, or even King level, will he be at a more significant disadvantage?

If his Pokémon is weaker than others due to training factors, how can Feng be willing to accept this?

As for skills, if there is no exclusive food, several important skills will be missing, which will also affect the combat power.

Feng once again considered whether he should find a school to go to.

Schools in this world essentially sell knowledge, using high tuition fees in exchange for valuable Pokémon knowledge. It's simply a business transaction.

But going to school will delay Feng from earning money to support Pokémon. After all, he is not a child of a wealthy family. How to solve this problem?

There is no perfect solution for the time being, so Feng plans to take it one step at a time and deal with the current issues first.

The Jinlang Cup is about to start tomorrow. I don’t know how many people have signed up or who my opponents will be. I need to prepare well.

……

The next morning, Feng arrived at the battle area in the center of the deck early.

Among the ten areas here, in addition to the battle area, there is also a player preparation area. Players who have not yet competed need to prepare here, and they can leave when the game is over.

There are about 400 people participating in the morning competition, and according to the schedule, all the competitions need to be completed before noon.

Traveling alone in the Pokémon world is extremely dangerous, and inter-region travel is even more unpredictable. This is why most people on this ship possess at least high-level Pokémon. Otherwise, how would they dare to travel so far without some strength? A single wild Pokémon can put someone in a life-or-death situation.

There are a total of ten groups competing simultaneously in the morning. About 40 players in each area are divided into a group, and the players are paired up in pairs. The average time for each game is within 10 minutes.

Given the sustained combat capabilities of high-level Pokémon, if they continuously unleash their abilities, they wouldn't last more than 10 minutes. Furthermore, if the power gap is too great, victory or defeat can be decided in just a few moves, taking even less time. Therefore, the morning match would be more than adequate.

Feng showed his number to the staff and was then guided to area 4 to wait for the game to begin.

After sitting down in the contestant preparation area, Feng secretly observed the situations of other contestants around him.

Most of the contestants were young people, with only a small number of boys and girls. Feng also saw a few middle-aged people.

As for Pokémon, since the player preparation area is not very large, only small Pokémon such as Eevee, Jigglypuff, and Snarf are allowed to be released. Otherwise, if a Gyarados is released, there will be no place for others to sit.

Feng took a rough look around and found that most of the Pokémon released were of high-level strength, and a few were of elite level.

This competition does not require the trainer level, only the Pokémon level, which means that even a king-level trainer can take high-level Pokémon to participate in the high-level competition.

This also resulted in a large number of people participating in the high-level field. Of course, there were even more people who felt that they could not make it to the top three or did not value the rewards and did not come to participate.

……

By nine o'clock, the rest area in Feng's area was practically full. Every player was nervously but excitedly anticipating the intense competition that was about to begin.

Just as everyone was eagerly waiting, the host's passionate voice finally came out from the audio equipment nearby.

After a brief opening speech, the host once again introduced the rules of the game in detail, and emphasized that it is prohibited to use any skills that may damage the field.

Finally, he solemnly announced: "The preliminaries officially begin!"

In Area 4, two trainers were the first to have their competition numbers called by the staff and were asked to enter the competition quickly.

The two walked out of the preparation area and stood on the field. Then, with the referee's command, the competition began.

At the same time, a staff member next to the venue was holding a camera and broadcasting live on the intranet so that other tourists on the boat could see the game.

Over the next half hour, contestants took the stage one after another, releasing their carefully cultivated Pokémon to engage in battles.

Every battle is fierce, and the skills of both sides intertwine and collide like meteors, which is dazzling.

"too weak……"

However, in Feng's eyes, most of these matches were just a fight between noobs. He found many of them lacking in highlights, and the players' use of skills and strategic choices did not leave a deep impression on him.

Often, after one player uses a skill, the other player either dodges or counters with a counter-attack. Furthermore, Pokémon possess relatively limited skills, so often the outcome of a match can be predicted in advance simply by analyzing their stats.

Feng shook his head and sighed in his heart: "The level of trainers this time is not good enough."

He wants to see more creative and strategic battles, and hopes to witness those exciting contests that show the wisdom and skills of Pokémon trainers. Only in this way can Feng gain more battle ideas and inspiration.

Suddenly, a young man in a blue jacket caught Feng's attention.

He has a gym leader-level aptitude for the Haunted Eyes, and his special ability is Mischievous Heart. Although his Pokémon aptitude is not high and he knows few skills, he uses his skills very cleverly.

For example, the delay skill has the effect of allowing the opponent to release skills later in the game. It is a doubles skill and has no effect in singles.

But in the hands of this young man with bewitching eyes, it had a different effect.

Every time the opponent's Thunder Beast is about to use a skill, it will use Delay to significantly reduce its skill release speed, and then take the opportunity to use skills such as Strange Light and Phosphorescent Fire.

Thundermon either stops releasing skills and dodges, or is hit and falls into an abnormal state.

And reality is not like in games, where you have to use one skill and then I use one skill. Instead, if you use your skills slowly, I can even use two skills in a row.

Mischievous Heart speeds up the release of Haunted Eyes' skills, but the delay reduces the speed at which Thundermon uses his skills. This addition and subtraction creates a huge gap between the two.

After being treated like this several times in a row, the Thunder Beast on the opposite side was so furious that it howled in anger, with sparks of anger flashing in its big copper-bell eyes.

If it weren't for the trainer's orders restraining it, it would have ignored the danger of confusion and burns and directly released lightning to completely destroy the hateful guy in front of it!

However, when the opposing trainer thought that they would be safe if they prevented Raigenmon from releasing his skills, he saw that Haunted Eyes actually hooked his finger at Raigenmon, with an extremely annoying smile on his face, as if mocking Raigenmon's cowardice and incompetence.

This cunning and enchanting eye released a provocation skill, but the effect of the provocation once again exceeded Feng's expectations.
