Elf: Is the bear apprentice the weakest? I'll shatter the sky with my fists.

"I have captured Gyarados!" Li Chen jumped up and the bait ball opened in the air.

Gyarados flew in the air, rolled up Li Chen and the bear apprentice with its tail, and placed them on top of its head.

"Puci." (Rest in peace.)

General Pudao in the distance remained the same, with his face turned sideways, silently watching the scene.

The sky was spinning and the unstable spatial fluctuations reappeared, sending Li Chen and the others out of the secret realm.

------

Boom, boom, boom!

Three consecutive sounds of heavy objects falling were heard. Li Chen stood up, shook off the snowflakes on his body, looked around, and found the original secret realm.

I thought I was going back to reality directly, what a pity.

The wind and snow stopped, the sun was shining brightly, and it was a nice day.

"Scream!" (Who in my family would understand?! I was sleeping when a Gyarados suddenly dropped from the sky and pinned me to the ground!)

Pidgeot let out a wail, and Gyarados then realized that there was something under it. When it stood up, it saw Pidgeot almost turned into Pidgeot-chan.

"Roar." (So you're not dead. I was wondering why you didn't enter the trial.)

Gyarados was confused. They were all Pokémon, so why didn't Pidgeot go in?

It and its bear apprentice were puzzled and simply gave up thinking about it.

Well, it’s good that Pidgeot is alive, congratulations, Coca-Cola.

In this way, Li Chen took his two generals and the non-staff member Bibi Bird and wandered around for a few more rounds. After picking up a piece of non-melting ice and some sugar apples, he ran into Xin Changsheng who led the search and rescue team.

The Pokémon in the rescue team are very well-mannered, including the Exposed Balloon, the Wind Sprite, the Nut Dumbbell, and the Booming Gorilla...

There is a feeling of a solid back.

Li Chen shouted to Xin Changsheng, who was leading the group, "Uncle Xin!"

"Li Chen?!"

Xin Changsheng blinked, a little bit unable to believe that the person in front of him was Li Chen.

If I remember correctly, this guy has only been capturing Pokémon for four days, right?

What the hell is that Gyarados next to it?!

I thought you hadn't conquered Magikarp either?!

After Xin Changsheng confirmed that the person was Li Chen, he asked, "Who are these Gyarados and Pidgeot?"

"Oh, I saw it on the roadside. Gyarados and I hit it off, so I captured it. This Pidgeot is Gyarados's... uh, friend. Follow me around as a scout."

Li Chen answered casually, and it was roughly as he said.

It's just a bit simplified.

But when Xin Changsheng and the other search and rescue personnel heard this answer, it shocked them for the whole year.

Wow, this young man is so good at conquering people, isn't he?!

We just clicked, and then he was won over so easily?!

A man using a Defeat Ball next to Xin Changsheng looked Li Chen up and down while observing the three Pokémon. He nodded slightly.

"That's good, Lao Xin. The guy you know is very lucky. Has he signed up for the Little Dragon and Phoenix Cup?"

Li Chen also looked at the man, who was wearing black-framed glasses, had thick hair, and was wearing a black short-sleeved shirt.

Simple and unpretentious, this is how Li Chen described the other party.

"Yes, I was wondering if he could make it through the first round, but now it's certain."

Xin Changsheng gave an affirmative answer and introduced the other party to Li Chen: "Xiaochen, this is Lin Guli, Honorary Professor of the Department of Combat at Rongcheng University."

Professor of combat?!

Hearing this title, Li Chen's eyes lit up.

Everyone says that university professors may be the top of society that a person can reach in his or her lifetime.

This fighting-type professor will definitely be much stronger than a normal trainer.

"It's good to be young, young man. There are endless possibilities."

Linguli laughed a few times and glanced at his bear apprentice. "The Pokémon I chose also has great potential. I think getting a ranking in the Little Dragon and Phoenix Cup won't be a problem."

Li Chen chuckled a few times and started chatting with him.

Later in the conversation, Li Chen suddenly remembered that they were still in the secret realm. He looked at Xin Changsheng and asked, "Uncle Xin, when can we go back? How many people are left to be saved?"

"You are the only one." Xin Changsheng replied.

Li Chen: "That's okay."

----

After leaving the secret realm and arriving at the safe zone where the alliance was stationed, Li Chen took out all his harvest.

Of course, the broken sword is still hidden in the system space.

If this thing is taken out, there is a 99% probability that it will be 500 yuan + a banner for outstanding citizen.

Li Chen was overjoyed at the thought of having a chance to meet Gu Jianbao in the future.

The security inspector checked them one by one and found that they were just some tree fruits and a piece of unmelted ice.

"Are you selling it? It's the official alliance price, no tax, payment on the spot." asked the security inspector.

This is also a great benefit that the Alliance provides to Secret Realm Trainers. Most items will not be handed over, and you can choose to sell them to the Alliance, which is safe and guaranteed.

Of course, a small number of items still have to be handed over to the alliance, but alliance points of corresponding value will be given as compensation.

Mid-range items like sugar apple and non-melting ice are left to the trainers to handle.

"Keep the unmelted ice and sell the other fruits together."

Li Chen thought for a moment and decided to sell all the fruits he picked.

My Pokémon doesn't need the sugarapple, so after selling it for Alliance Coins, it will at least be more useful than it is now.

Training Pokémon is very expensive, so it is better to spend more money to lay the foundation in the early stage, not to mention that now there is a Gyarados, the expenses will definitely be much higher than before!

The security inspector counted the fruits on the trees:

"You will receive 100,000 Alliance Coins and 1,000 Alliance Contribution Points. They will be transferred to your card shortly. You can wait here for a while."

Li Chen nodded, and after confirming that the money had been deposited into the card, he took Xin Changsheng's car home.

"Better than hooting." (Is this a human car? Pretty fast.)

The Pidgeot bird sat obediently in the back seat, looking at the scene flying past outside the window in amazement.

Li Chen listened to the sound of the Pidgeot, turned around, and looked surprised: "Huh? How did you catch up?!"

Cute

Chapter 19 School Starts

"Bibibi." (Ahem, there's a reason why Pidgeot followed me. Since Gyarados has just evolved and can't take care of itself yet, let me help take care of it for the next few days.)

The Pidgeot used its beak to groom its feathers and answered Li Chen nonchalantly.

Humph, it’s not that I’m too bored as a bird!

The bear apprentice sitting on the other side nodded. It thought that there was such a big difference between Magikarp and Gyarados, and it really needed a Pokémon that was familiar with each other to take care of them.

"Oh." (I see. I'll be sorry to trouble you for the next few days.)

As time passed, Li Chen, whose spirit had been in a tense state, fell into a deep sleep in the car...

------

In the blink of an eye, five days passed.

Today is the first day of school and also the first round of auditions for the Little Dragon and Phoenix Cup.

The auditions overlap with the start of school, except that the former is held in the afternoon, while school registration only takes place in the morning.

It was indeed a perfect use of time.

Going to school, auditions, and rankings are Li Chen’s schedule for the next few days.

The most important of these is the audition, and the result of this event also determines whether Li Chen can participate in the Little Dragon and Phoenix Cup during the National Day holiday.

On the way to school, Xinyong, holding Eevee, wanted to know Li Chen's battle plan: "Li Chen, who are you going to send out this afternoon?"

Although she asked this, Xinyong felt that there was a high chance that Gyarados would appear.

After all, among a group of Pokémon, Gyarados will definitely make it to the finals and qualify for the second round of auditions as soon as it appears.

"Disciple Xiong." Li Chen replied.

Gyarados is his trump card now, and the final is a 2v2 battle, so it’s better not to send it out for now.

Playing the pig and eating the tiger is very effective to a certain extent. At least in the baby competition, using a bear apprentice will not attract too much attention.

In the finals, send Gyarados out to give the opponent a numerical shock.

What's more, the bear apprentice is no weaker than Gyarados. The training over the past five days has made their strength far beyond their peers.

Listening to Li Chen's answer, Xin Yong opened her mouth slightly, wanting to say something, but eventually she said, "Come on!"

Forget it, as long as Li Chen is happy.

While still some distance away from the school, Li Chen opened the system and looked at the panels of his two partners.

Pokémon: Bear Apprentice (Legendary Pokémon)

[Attribute: Fighting]

[Gender: Male]

[Characteristic: Mental Power]

[Level: 23 (Ordinary Level)]

【Items to carry: Black belt】

[Skills: Staring, Rock Crushing, Hold On, Gathering Energy, Enduring, Survival from Desperate Situation, Sword Dance, Swallow Return, Terrifying Face, Bodybuilding (new), Headbutt (new), Swift Return (new)]

After defeating so many colt-sword soldiers and training later, Apprentice Bear's level has reached 23.

As for the training of his disciple Xiong, Li Chen implemented a fusion of two tactics into one.

An instant kill tactic centered around sword dance, and a steady and cautious tactic centered around bodybuilding.

The first type pursues a fast pace and bursts out immediately after using Sword Dance. If you are lucky, you can defeat the opponent within two rounds.

The second type pursues stability, focusing on bodybuilding to strengthen oneself, and then ending with a desperate escape after withstanding a few moves.

Li Chen rarely uses the second tactic, but it always works wonders every time he uses it.

It is worth mentioning that the trick of rapid return was learned from Pidgeot, which can be regarded as paying its food expenses.

Next is Gyarados. During the previous trial, Gyarados was not included in the team and was not recognized by the system as Li Chen's Pokémon. In addition, it is in its final form, so its efficiency in gaining experience will be slower than that of Apprentice Bear.

During the training process, the focus is on physical attacks, basically one punch per baby beast.

Pokémon: Gyarados (with colorful horns)

[Attributes: water, flying]

[Gender: Male]

[Characteristic: Intimidation]

[Level: 24 (Ordinary Level)]

[Moves: Bounce, Impact, Glare, Tornado, Leap, Crazy, Tidal Wave, Frozen Fang, Salt Water, Scary Face, Waterfall, Scale Reverse, Bite, Crushing (new), Dragon Dance (new).]

Gyarados's moves are pretty standard, but he's been focusing on learning Dragon Dance these days. Now that he can fly and use Dragon Dance, using it in the finals will surely amaze the other contestants.

While others try to capture late bloomers, he takes a different approach and only captures young and promising Pokémon.

Li Chen looked very happy when he thought about his good combat capability in the early, middle and late stages.
