The Chapter get Retranslated
Xu Jie losing to Jiang Chen was completely within everyone's expectations.
"Next time, I'll definitely beat you." Xu Jie looked at Jiang Chen unwillingly.
"You'd better figure out the moves your Charmander has mastered first."
Jiang Chen felt no sense of superiority after defeating such an opponent; he was more concerned with the points he gained from the victory.
"That little?"
Perhaps Xu Jie was too weak, as Jiang Chen only gained ten points.
At this rate, when would he be able to buy a Legendary Pokémon?
"Squirtle did a good job. Here's your reward."
Jiang Chen handed an Energy Cube to Squirtle. This was Squirtle's favorite Energy Cube, and it hugged the cube with a smug expression.
"With that level, he wants to challenge Jiang Chen? I feel like even I could easily beat him."
"He has good theoretical grades in class, so he thinks he's a phoenix."
"During practical combat classes, he never beat Jiang Chen. He just asks for trouble. When he challenged Jiang Chen before, Jiang Chen didn't even bother to acknowledge him."
Words of ridicule entered Xu Jie's ears. Unable to bear it, Xu Jie glared fiercely at Jiang Chen and then ran away as if escaping.
"These people are really drawing aggro for me."
Jiang Chen glanced at his classmates.
Although they simply wanted to mock Xu Jie, the animosity had indeed been directed at Jiang Chen.
Xu Jie, who was already dissatisfied with him, must now hate him even more.
Just as Jiang Chen was about to train with Squirtle, Ling Wanqiu walked over.
"Campus Belle Ling wouldn't want to challenge me too, would she?"
He and Ling Wanqiu were rivals in class, or rather, she considered him a rival.
In class, Jiang Chen's overall score was first, and hers was second.
"Yes, I want to challenge you, but not your Squirtle."
Ling Wanqiu looked at another miniaturized Poké Ball on Jiang Chen's waist.
"Alright then."
Jiang Chen looked at Squirtle.
"Come back first, Squirtle."
He accepted Ling Wanqiu's challenge, also wanting to test if defeating stronger Pokémon would yield more points.
"Come out, Dragonite."
"Garchomp, come out."
Two Pseudo-legendary Pokémon appeared. Ling Wanqiu's background was extraordinary; her father was an Elite Four member specializing in Fighting-type Pokémon, so it was normal for her to own a Pseudo-legendary.
"It's Dragonite, and Garchomp."
"Wow, a battle between the son of an Elite Four and the daughter of an Elite Four. This is the real grand show."
"Pseudo-legendaries... I have no hope of getting one in this lifetime."
Seeing the two Pseudo-legendaries, the surrounding classmates' eyes were filled only with envy, and even the school's teachers gathered around.
Pseudo-legendaries were too rare; even these teachers rarely saw them in reality.
Compared to Garchomp's imposing and ferocious appearance, Dragonite seemed to fall a bit short in terms of aura.
"Garchomp, charge up and use Dual Chop."
Ling Wanqiu wasn't going to be polite with Jiang Chen.
"Dragonite, fly up and evade the attack."
With a flap of its small wings, Dragonite instantly took flight, perfectly dodging Garchomp's Dual Chop.
"Garchomp, you fly up too and pursue it."
Don't let Garchomp's lack of wings fool you; it didn't prevent it from flying, and Garchomp's flying speed was not slow at all.
"Boom!"
Garchomp, who had just taken off, crashed. Dragonite did a mid-air somersault and directly used Dragon Rush from above, striking Garchomp and knocking it down.
The ground trembled, and the specially designed arena was now riddled with pits.
"Don't be polite, use Hyper Beam."
A white beam of destructive light shot out from Dragonite's mouth, directly hitting Garchomp, who was deeply entrenched in the pit.
The arena trembled again, and the resulting shockwave made the surrounding people involuntarily step back, their faces filled with shock.
"With Pokémon like these, wouldn't the Campus Tournament be an assured victory?"
"Brother, haven't you heard? In the Campus Tournament, you can only use Pokémon caught after receiving your first Pokémon at age fifteen."
Pokémon like Jiang Chen's, which he had trained for three years, were not allowed to participate. The most advanced machines would detect them, and there were restrictions. Violating the rules would result in immediate disqualification.
The purpose of this was to maintain fairness.
Although there was no absolute fairness in this world, the school would try its best to maintain it.
Otherwise, what would ordinary students do if those who obtained Pokémon early brought their years-long trained Pokémon to the arena? They would probably be instantly defeated.
Internal school competitions, inter-school sparring matches, and the National New Trainer Competition all had restrictions on the use of Pokémon.
However, for competitions not organized by the school, such as the more prestigious Youth Potential Dragon Cup, National Pokémon Conference, or Elite Four Cup, there were no restrictions, as long as it was confirmed to be your own Pokémon.
The Pokémon Academy arranged these rules and restrictions to maintain fairness as much as possible.
After all, school was never as cruel as society.
But fairness was also relative. If others used their resources to get Starter Pokémon and Pseudo-legendaries, while you held ordinary Pokémon, was that fair?
They could only try their best to maintain fairness, as absolute fairness was simply impossible.
The scene returns to the battle.
After enduring two powerful moves, Dragon Rush and Hyper Beam, Garchomp did not fall.
This was the strength of Pseudo-legendaries, the strength of Dragon-type Pokémon. Their stamina was immensely robust, they were very resilient, and their attacks were incredibly sharp, which established their dominant position among types.
The dominant position of Dragon-types also had an undeniable connection to Pseudo-legendaries, as most Pseudo-legendaries were Dragon-type.
There were only two non-Dragon-type Pseudo-legendaries: Tyranitar and Metagross.
Ling Wanqiu gritted her teeth. Although the battle wasn't over, she knew she had already lost.
Dragon-type Pokémon were weak to Dragon-type attacks. Garchomp had taken a powerful Dragon-type move, and it was badly hurt. Coupled with the Normal-type Hyper Beam, the outcome was already clear.
And Jiang Chen could have pressed his advantage, but he didn't, which was probably his way of giving her some face.
"I forfeit this battle. Come back, Garchomp."
Ling Wanqiu realized that there was a gap in strength between her Garchomp and Jiang Chen's Dragonite.
Although she had a strong competitive spirit, a battle with no chance of winning, which would only further injure Garchomp, was not worth continuing.
