Chapter 22 Return to School and Battles
Chapter 22 Return to School and Battles
After his mother's lecture last night, Xuan Mingtian went to sleep early. After all, his mother's words were indeed for his own good, and he was, as she said, the future of the entire family. Although he was not afraid of death, his family was not, so he had been getting a little carried away lately and almost drifted off to outer space.
At this moment, something broke Xuan Mingtian's train of thought.
Jun Shaen said at my door, "Xiao Tian, get up quickly, Xiao Gang has already finished breakfast."
“Sister En, I’ll be right down after I’ve finished washing up,” Xuan Mingtian replied.
Five minutes later, Xuan Mingtian arrived at the table on time for breakfast, while Xiao Gang and Sister En had already finished their breakfast. Since it was already 8:30, Xuan Mingtian could only hurry up and start eating as well.
Jun Shaen said, "Xiao Tian, I heard from Xiao Gang that your academy will be holding a school-wide, tiered Pokémon battle competition in two days."
At this moment, he looked at her calmly and said, "Yes, Sister En, it's a beginner's battle between first-year and second-year students."
"Miss Junshan, don't worry, Xiaotian and Suantou are very strong." Although Xiaogang didn't want to admit it, it was the truth. After all, even his little fist stone was defeated by Suantou in two moves, so he could believe how terrifying their strength was.
Xuan Mingtian said, "Yes, Xiao Gang is right this time. As long as Garlic doesn't encounter the Pokémon of a fourth or fifth grader, it will be fine. After all, their Pokémon have been around for much longer than Garlic's."
Junsha said, "Hehe, you get all cocky after I say a few nice words to you. All you do every day is make training plans. You should train more with the elves too."
“Sister, I’m at the age where I should be eating, drinking, and having fun. Besides, the training plan I devised is for Pokémon that want to grow through battle. Look at Dehua and Xiaota, although they’re quite strong, they don’t like to battle. I didn’t force them. So I just let the Pokémon that want to battle train according to my training method.” Xuan Mingtian replied.
Jun Shaon said matter-of-factly, "Eating, drinking and having fun, saying things like 'let the elves train themselves' and saying such things. When I was this age, I had already started learning from the family."
“Sister En, isn’t that right? I’ve already provided the training methods, so the elves can train themselves.” Xuan Mingtian replied.
"What you're saying is nonsense. How can you increase the bond between you and the elves if you don't train with them or care about them?" But Jun Sha's voice grew softer and softer until she could only stare at herself silently.
Xuan Mingtian asked, "I understand, Sister En. Let's go. By the way, we've caught Hunter E this time, so your police station shouldn't be so busy for a while, right?"
"It's not that simple. Although we caught Hunter E, there are other elf hunters, but after the police's crackdown, they're not as rampant as before," Jun Shaen said.
At 8:50, Jun Shaen had already dropped Xiao Gang and me off at the academy.
Before leaving, Jun Shaen reminded her, "You two need to put more effort into training your Pokémon these next few days, especially you, Xiao Tian. If you don't get a good ranking in the battles, I'm sure Xiao Lan will mock you relentlessly."
"I understand, Sister En. Be careful when you go to catch the elf hunters." After saying that, she took Xiao Gang and headed straight for the academy.
After returning to the small courtyard and putting away all the luggage, I made sure to check on the growth of the tree and fruit seedlings, since I hadn't taken care of them for two days.
Xuan Mingtian instructed, "Little Tower, I'll be taking Garlic Head to training these next few days. You all need to behave well at home, especially you, Dehua. A while ago, you not only messed around with all the Pokémon by the lake, but you also started messing around with the Pokémon in the forests surrounding the academy. Although it's not a big problem, this isn't your territory, so remember to bring them Pokémon food after you've done it."
"Fatty Ding": I know, I know, it's because they can't beat me at hide-and-seek.
"You said you were playing hide-and-seek, but every time you played, you hit them with a stick. I wouldn't have known if they hadn't complained." Xuan Mingtian said speechlessly. After all, it was just like when Little Cutie cheated while playing with Celebi. If he hadn't been unable to beat Dehua, he would have wanted to beat it up.
Xiao Gang pulled him along, saying, "Xiao Tian, let's go to class, or we'll be late."
Xuan Mingtian shouted, "Coming, coming! Garlic, let's go to class."
Upon entering the classroom, the class bell rang just in time, requiring the young man to have perfect timing.
At this moment, the homeroom teacher had already entered the classroom and started speaking: "Classmates, the Pokémon battle competition is in two days. Although our class is not the main team that trains trainers, we must work hard to train our Pokémon and strive to get a good ranking. Now, everyone, go to the training ground and gather. We will focus on Pokémon training for the next two days, so you don't need to go to class. However, some students should not be lazy. Let's go to the training ground."
"Xiaogang, I have a feeling that the teacher said I'm the one who shouldn't be lazy, and I'm a little angry now," Xuan Mingtian said, pouting.
"I'm talking about you. Didn't you see all the students looking at you when the teacher said that? They even told me you were going to get angry. Everyone could see clearly how you were slacking off in training, let alone the teacher." Xuan Mingtian was speechless at Xiao Gang's disdainful expression.
"That's nonsense. Garlic Head has been training very hard, okay? And his skill release speed is much faster now." Xuanming Tiandao said.
"Bulbasaur": Comrade Xiao Gang, I'm really awesome.
"Fistful of punches and blows": Me too, me too.
"Yes, yes, Geodude is great too." After hearing Geodude's words, he also praised it. Indeed, Geodude's weight capacity was now set to 1.5 times. It can only be said that it is worthy of being a Rock-type Pokémon, and it is excellent in terms of physical resistance to pressure and weight.
Although they weren't directly nourished by Xuan Mingtian's life energy, they and Xiao Gang frequently consumed the Miracle Seed, which was nourished by Xuan Mingtian's life energy, resulting in changes to their physical constitutions. Xuan Mingtian's life energy could be stored in containers, and the best containers were his family's specialties.
Xiao Gang knew this too, but he also knew why Suan Tou and Xiao Tian were slacking off. It was because the other students' Pokémon were so difficult for them to focus on the battles. In short, it was because of their hiding and Lao Liu's behavior.
Five minutes later, the students arrived at the training field. The training field was about the size of two football fields, but it was divided into 12 fields for students and teachers to train. Two of them were mixed-type battlefields, so students could train and play matches at the same time. Xuan Mingtian and his group arrived at training field number 10.
"Xuan Mingtian, I'd like to have another match with you," Yang Bin said.
Yang Bin is the same student who was defeated by Xuan Mingtian in the previous Pokémon battle training class.
Xuan Mingtian said, "Yang Bin, your little fire dragon is no match for Garlic. You should train it hard first."
Yang Bin said seriously, "Let's fight one more time. I want to test Little Fire Dragon's training over this period. I'm leaving you alone."
"Dragon Dragon Fire Dragon": I've become very strong now, let's have a match.
"Garlic, what do you think? Maybe we should just have a fight." He turned to Garlic and said.
"FrogFrogMiaoFrog": Okay, just one match, I still need to practice releasing the energy ball later.
Yes, just yesterday, Garlic saw Potian unexpectedly kill Hunter E's Raven Head and asked to learn the skill. Seeing how enthusiastic it was about the battle, Garlic asked Little Tower to teach it the skill's trajectory and release method. Although it can see a bit of the beginning now, it still can't release the skill.
At this moment, Xuan Mingtian said, "Alright, I agree. Let's go to the battle arena."
After saying that, Xuan Mingtian took Garlic Head to the battlefield, accompanied by Xiao Gang and a classmate who had overheard the conversation.
At this moment, Xiao Gang stood on the referee's platform and said, "I will be the referee for this battle. Now, please send out your Pokémon."
Seeing that the Pokémon had already entered the arena, he said, "Yang Bin, you go first. Let me see the results of your training these past two days." After saying that, he didn't forget to scan Charmander with his panel.
Little Fire Dragon
Attribute: Fire
Feature: Fire
Qualification: Green
Skills: Claw, Shout, Spark, Smoke, Will-o'-the-Wisp, Metal Claw, Flamethrower (Just learned)
Review: This is a very hardworking little dragon; it won't be discouraged by failure.
Upon seeing the little Charmander, he couldn't help but nod in approval. After all, a Pokémon with good potential and a hard-working spirit is bound to achieve great things in the future.
"Charmander, use your roar first, then unleash a Will-O-Wisp," Yang Bin ordered.
A frightened cry rang out as Charmander unleashed a vocalization skill that reduced its attack power, but Garlic didn't react at all. It just stared at Charmander, ignoring it completely.
"Garlic, let it grow naturally, let it take its course."
Garlic let out a cry and instantly activated Grassy Terrain and Roots, moving so fast that Charmander's Will-O-Wisp didn't even get close to it.
Then the will-o'-the-wisp struck the garlic, and the garlic turned red all over, indicating that it had been burned.
"Charmander, this is a good opportunity. After you breathe fire, get close and use your metal claw."
"Fire Dragon"
With a "poof," the little fire dragon breathed out a small flame, then condensed the energy in its hand and quickly ran towards the garlic.
"Garlic, use your vine whip to form a shield in front of you to block all attacks."
With a whoosh, two vines sprouted from under the seeds on its back and quickly wove together to form a vine shield that could cover itself.
With a whoosh, sparks flew and formed a flame on the surface of the vine shield. The little dragon's metal claws also arrived in response. With one swipe, the vine shield finally couldn't withstand the damage from the two attacks and shattered at the same time.
"Garlic, it's time to end this. Cut off the vine shield, reassemble the vine whip to bind the little fire dragon, and give it a hypnotic powder."
Bulbasaur
The little dragon, bound into the shape of a rice dumpling, struggled desperately, but to no avail. When the hypnotic powder drifted towards it, its defeat was inevitable.
Five seconds later, Xiao Gang saw the little fire dragon lying on the ground asleep and said, "The battle is over. The winners of this battle are Garlic and Xiao Tian."
