A water-type trainer who specializes in dragon-type water.

The moment Galar Slowshell fell, the stadium was first silent, and then erupted into even more enthusiastic cheers.

The students' eyes were focused on Zhang Heng and Qixi Bluebird in the center of the arena, their passionate eyes filled with amazement and admiration.

At this moment, the drone Rotom's electronic voice rang out clearly: "Contestants, please send out your Pokémon next."

This was a 2v2 singles match. Lin Yue had a Gotha Duck who used a quick turn to retreat back to the team and did not play.

However, Lin Yue stood still, motionless. He looked at Zhang Heng, a faint smile on his face. Then he looked at the drone, Rotom, and said calmly, "I forfeit."

As soon as these words were spoken, the competition venue erupted in excitement. The students around them exclaimed in surprise, filled with confusion.

"Why did Senior suddenly give up? Gotha Duck hasn't made a move yet!"

"Yeah, this game hasn't been decided yet. It's really weird."

Everyone was whispering and discussing, and they all felt incredible about Lin Yue's decision.

But Lin Yue knew very well in his heart that his Goduck's combat effectiveness had dropped significantly since it lost an arm, and it was no longer in its former peak condition.

Even if he goes on the field, it is difficult to change the situation. Instead of letting Golduck fight reluctantly, it is better to choose to give up and retain the last dignity.

Zhang Heng seemed to understand Lin Yue's thoughts and his approach. The two of them walked to the center of the field, smiled at each other, and then reached out and shook hands tightly.

Lin Yue smiled and said, "Zhang Heng, congratulations, you played very well."

Zhang Heng quickly responded modestly, "Senior Lin Yue, I've learned a lot from your tactics and Pokémon."

Lin Yue continued, "After I graduate, I'll be working with Dr. Chen Chunjiang in the Aquatic Wilderness Area. If you have time, you can come back. I believe your Swamp Leap Fish will be further improved there. There's an item there that should be a good match for you."

Before Zhang Heng could ask what the prop was, Lin Yue turned and left.

Looking at Lin Yue's departing back, Zhang Heng thought silently in his heart: "Okay, then I'll go there after participating in this ranking tournament."

At this moment, the familiar electronic mechanical sound of the system suddenly flashed through Zhang Heng's mind.

"Ding~ Congratulations to the host for capturing the Dragon-type Pokémon - Tanabata Bluebird."

"Main quest - Targeted Conquest Mission, progress 84%, rewards are being calculated."

Zhang Heng stood in the center of the arena, still immersed in the afterglow of victory, when a system notification suddenly rang in his mind.

He was stunned at first, then realized that when he tamed the blue bird before, the system reward had been on hold because it did not yet have the dragon attribute.

Now that the Bluebird has evolved into the Qixi Bluebird, this belated reward is finally going to be paid out.

Zhang Heng was full of anticipation, wondering what kind of surprise it would be, when the familiar electronic mechanical sound rang clearly in his mind again.

"Ding~ Rewards are being distributed. Congratulations to the host for advancing his Dragon Affinity to the Power of the Dragon. Reward: Super S-rank item - Dragon Z Crystal."

"What the hell?!"

Zhang Heng couldn't help but blurt out, his face instantly blooming with ecstasy.

"The power of controlling water plus the power of controlling dragons, a double blessing! Awesome yuppie!"

His face flushed with excitement, he suddenly realized that he was surrounded by classmates and spectators. He quickly suppressed his excitement, quickly put the Tanabata Bluebird back into the Poké Ball, and quickly left the battle field.

As Zhang Heng walked along the road, his thoughts were like a wild horse running wild. When he mentioned the power of dragon control, the image of A'Du, the dragon-type trainer proficient in flying, emerged in his mind.

But as he was thinking, Zhang Heng suddenly realized something and couldn't help muttering to himself: "No, then I am a trainer who is proficient in water and dragon types? It turns out that the clown is actually me?" Thinking of this, he couldn't help but laugh.

........................

Today's on-campus ranking competition went exceptionally smoothly.

Except for the fierce battle with Lin Yue in which he sent out the second Pokémon, Zhang Heng relied on the Qixi Bluebird to defeat all opponents in subsequent 1v1 and 2v2 singles matches.

In order to quickly enhance the tacit understanding and resonance between him and the Qixi Bluebird, Zhang Heng frequently used the power of the dragon to strengthen the connection between them.

In the past, because the Blue Bird did not have dragon attributes, even though Zhang Heng had dragon affinity, it was difficult to communicate with it efficiently, causing the Blue Bird to always be lazy during training.

But after evolving into the Tanabata Bluebird, everything is completely different.

Today, the dragon energy of Qixi Bluebird has become more condensed, and it seems that a smooth bridge of communication has been built between it and Zhang Heng, and the cooperation between them has become more and more handy.

"The series of elimination rounds over the past few days has drastically reduced the number of participants, and I've quickly reached the top 1500."

Among the nearly 4 students in the school, Zhang Heng's ranking jumped to the top 1500. In this university, only students can be among these 1500.

All of them are excellent trainers with both strength and tactics, and they are very likely to shine in various important fields in the future.

Moreover, after entering the top 1500, the next game will be a watershed, because the battle system will be fully released tomorrow.

Previously banned Z-moves and mega evolutions can now be used freely on the field, allowing players to fight with all their might without reservation.

In fact, this measure is also to protect more students from poor families. Many children from wealthy families have already owned Z crystals and even mega evolutions.

The university hopes to narrow the gap between students from poor families and those from wealthy families through such rules, allowing them to obtain better rankings.

But for many ordinary poor students, being able to reach the top 1500 is already the limit.

Because tomorrow's competition is crucial, the winner will be directly promoted to the top 200 players in the school, and the subsequent competition will become increasingly fierce.

After finishing a day's competition, Zhang Heng did not slack off at all and went straight to the training dome.

He is eager to train with Tanabata Bluebird, hoping to achieve a telepathic connection and achieve mega evolution.

"Bang~" white light flashed across

Zhang Heng released the Qixi Bluebird, his eyes filled with trust and expectation, and said, "Qixi Bluebird, let's try it together."

The bluebird raised its head and sang on the Qixi Festival, its voice clear and firm, as if responding to Zhang Heng's expectations.

Hanging around its neck was the Qixi Bluebird Mega Evolution Stone that it had previously obtained from the exchange. It suddenly burst into a dazzling light, echoing the key stone in Zhang Heng's hand.

In an instant, the dazzling light intertwined and converged, turning into a layer of white eggshell that tightly wrapped it.

Suddenly, the eggshell shattered with a "pop", and the mega evolution failed.

However, neither Zhang Heng nor Qixi Bluebird was discouraged. They both felt that every attempt was closer to success than the last.

Zhang Heng pondered for a moment and felt that perhaps only by further enhancing mutual understanding through fierce actual combat confrontations could they successfully achieve mega evolution.

So, he decided to temporarily abandon his current training. He walked to the control console in the center of the training dome and took out the Meteor Swarm skill device that the system had given him when he tamed the Aluminum Steel Dragon, preparing to let Qixi Bluebird learn this powerful dragon skill.

At this moment, Zhang Heng's communication device suddenly rang rapidly...
