The Chapter get Retranslated
Amusement parks have security, and since Jiang Chen beat Lin Yuefeng, the security team naturally arrived.
"Young master."
The security captain had intended to deal seriously with the person who started a fight in the amusement park, but it turned out to be their young master.
"You know me?" Jiang Chen looked at the security captain in surprise.
"Yes, yes. I was transferred from the Jiang Group's company headquarters and have had the fortune to see the young master a few times."
"Oh."
Jiang Chen nodded, then said, "I know you're here to ask about the fight. That guy harassed us, throw him out, and forbid him from entering our amusement park in the future."
"Understood, young master."
The security captain, of course, knew what to do.
He led a few men toward Lin Yuefeng. Lin Yuefeng, who had just gotten up from the ground, was immediately restrained by several security guards and dragged away on the spot.
"What are you doing? Do you know who I am? My grandpa is the Champion of Xia Country!"
Lin Yuefeng shouted, feeling wronged, as he was dragged away.
"Don't even mention your grandpa being a Champion. Even if your grandpa were here and offended our young master, we'd still throw him out. Behave yourself, or don't force us to get rough."
The security guards were not polite at all, directly dragging Lin Yuefeng away and tossing him out.
"Won't this kind of domineering behavior negatively affect the amusement park? After all, that guy's background isn't simple," Xiao Luoxue glanced at Lin Yuefeng, then looked at Jiang Chen.
"It's fine, it won't have any impact."
They played in the amusement park all day, and besides the interlude with Lin Yuefeng, they had a pretty good time. However, for Ling Wanqiu, it would have been even better without Xiao Luoxue.
In the evening, Jiang Chen first sent Ling Wanqiu home, then returned to his own home with Xiao Luoxue.
"Young master, Salamence seems to be on the verge of a breakthrough in strength," Ning Ya said to Jiang Chen as soon as they returned.
"Salamence?" Xiao Luoxue looked at Jiang Chen questioningly.
"My dad's Salamence."
Jiang Chen explained to Xiao Luoxue, then asked, "Sister Ning Ya, where is Salamence now?"
"He went to the beach. I've already reported it to Mr. Jiang Yuan."
Originally, Jiang Chen had wanted to call his dad, but hearing Ning Ya say she had already reported it, he didn't bother.
"Come on, let's go to the beach. Maybe you'll get to see a Champion-level breakthrough with your own eyes."
Jiang Chen's expression was slightly excited.
He wasn't excited about seeing the scene himself. The reason for his excitement was primarily the upcoming one million points he would receive.
In fact, Salamence's breakthrough speed was even slower than Jiang Chen had anticipated, or perhaps his previous estimate was flawed, and he had underestimated the difficulty of breaking through to Champion-level.
Even with the Dragon Stone Slab, it wasn't that easy to break through.
He had Gardevoir take them to the beach, then Jiang Chen released Beedrill.
"Let's hide farther away. A Pokémon breaking through to Champion-level will cause a huge commotion."
Jiang Chen took Ning Ya and Xiao Luoxue a bit farther away.
Xiao Luoxue watched intently, very curious about the breakthrough scene.
This was a King-level Pokémon breaking through to Champion! How many people get the chance to witness such a moment?
"Boom boom boom!!!"
A storm seemed to rage in the sky. The distant Salamence emanated an extremely oppressive aura.
This aura made people feel a suppression of their bloodline, awe-inspiring and immensely powerful, its shockwaves spreading in all directions.
"Beedrill, block it!"
Jiang Chen shouted at Beedrill.
Beedrill, relying on its own strength, blocked all of Salamence's aura.
"This Beedrill?"
Xiao Luoxue looked in shock at the unassuming yet incredibly powerful Beedrill in front of her.
A Beedrill capable of blocking such a soul-shaking force was simply terrifying.
"A Champion-level Beedrill."
"Talk, Salamence flew away."
Before she could even fully process that Beedrill was Champion-level, she saw Salamence suddenly fly into the sky, its figure disappearing in the blink of an eye.
"It probably sensed my dad's aura," Jiang Chen guessed, looking at the flying Salamence.
As expected, his guess was correct. Not long after, Salamence flew back, followed by Dragonite. Jiang Yuan was standing on Dragonite's back.
"Come on, let's go over there."
Jiang Chen had already received the one million points, indicating that Salamence had successfully broken through to Champion-level.
Now, Jiang Chen had over 2.3 million points, but he wasn't planning to use them. He intended to save them up to buy a Legendary Pokémon.
Although he didn't know when he'd accumulate enough, Jiang Chen knew that if he didn't save, he'd never be able to buy a Legendary Pokémon.
"Hmph~!"
Salamence let out a joyful growl, its gaze turning to Jiang Chen, revealing a hint of tenderness.
Having been with Jiang Chen for so long, Salamence had a good attitude towards him, and it also knew that its increase in strength was partly due to Jiang Chen's items.
[Salamence]
Gender: Male
Strength: Champion Tier 1
Talent Potential: Champion
Attributes: Dragon, Flying
Ability: Intimidate
Moves: Dragon Tail, Dragon Breath, Dragon Rush, Dragon Rage, Hyper Beam, Hyper Beam, Double-Edge, Draco Meteor…
While stroking Salamence's head, Jiang Chen scanned its attributes.
"I didn't expect to be taking advantage of my son this time."
This time, Jiang Chen had helped him immensely. Without Jiang Chen, Jiang Yuan wouldn't have known when Salamence would break through to Champion-level.
To reach Champion-level, besides personal effort, one also needs an opportunity and a bit of luck; otherwise, one might be stuck for a lifetime.
"When will Flygon be able to break through?" Jiang Yuan asked Jiang Chen.
If Flygon could also break through, then among all Champions, he would be considered a relatively strong one. Once Flygon evolved, he would have five Champion-level Pokémon.
"I don't know that either," Jiang Chen spread his hands, but it would definitely break through to Champion-level within the year.
"I'm not in a hurry, I'll just wait patiently."
Jiang Yuan wasn't too anxious, as he understood that such matters couldn't be rushed. He had already experienced that agonizing feeling when Dragonite hadn't yet broken through to Champion-level.
Champion-level Pokémon are not easily born. Jiang Chen being able to help Alakazam, Salamence, and Slowbro break through to Champion-level was truly a miracle.
Jiang Yuan didn't question how Jiang Chen managed to help them break through.
"Luoxue is getting prettier and prettier. You two should get to know each other better," Jiang Yuan said meaningfully, glancing at Xiao Luoxue.
"Hello, Uncle Jiang."
Xiao Luoxue was still a bit reserved when facing Jiang Yuan.
"I've been quite busy lately. Your mother entrusted everything to me, so I won't stay long."
Jiang Yuan recalled Salamence into its Poké Ball.
"So, Dad, will you be attending the New Trainer Competition?" Jiang Chen asked.
"Yes, I will, but only after the finals."
The New Trainer Competition was still highly regarded. It represented the next generation of trainers, and this competition was being held in Tianhai City.
As a King-level trainer from Tianhai City, it wouldn't be appropriate for him not to attend.
"Can Uncle Jiang challenge a Champion now?" Xiao Luoxue asked Jiang Chen.
"That's right, he's already preparing for it," Jiang Chen nodded.
"Is that Beedrill yours?"
Xiao Luoxue pointed at the Beedrill.
"Yes, this Beedrill is my partner."
Jiang Chen signaled Beedrill to fly over.
Seeing Beedrill flying beside Jiang Chen, Xiao Luoxue's face showed disbelief. Jiang Chen had a Champion-level Beedrill?
This was a Champion-level Pokémon, after all.
Seeing Xiao Luoxue's wide eyes, Jiang Chen humbly said, "I was just lucky enough to catch it."
"Why don't I ever get that lucky? You're humble-bragging, aren't you?"
"If you bring that Beedrill to a competition later, how will anyone else compete?"
Xiao Luoxue said, exasperated.
Although this New Trainer Competition had various restrictions, other competitions had none.
For example, the Youth Potential Dragon Cup, the National Pokémon Conference, these competitions had no restrictions whatsoever. Any Pokémon you owned could participate.
"Participating in competitions isn't always about crushing others, but about progress. So, I won't casually bring out Beedrill to overpower others. Is there any pleasure in crushing others?"
"Isn't there pleasure in crushing others?"
Xiao Luoxue retorted to Jiang Chen.
"Anyway, I don't like being crushed."
Thinking about how she was crushed, Xiao Luoxue still felt a bit uncomfortable. Her battle with Jiang Chen yesterday was truly a devastating defeat.
"Actually, I prefer evenly matched battles. But because I'm too strong, I always overpower my opponents. Sigh, it's all my fault for being too strong."
Jiang Chen sighed to the sky, looking melancholic.
"Do you know what I want to do most right now?"
Xiao Luoxue glared at Jiang Chen through gritted teeth.
"What do you want to do?" Jiang Chen asked, looking at Xiao Luoxue with a question.
"What I want to do most right now is beat you to death."
With that, Xiao Luoxue threw a punch at Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen stepped back two paces, perfectly dodging Xiao Luoxue's fist, but Xiao Luoxue, still unsatisfied, continued to chase and hit Jiang Chen.
"Jealousy, you're just jealous."
"Jealous of you? Don't be ridiculous! Stop showing off in front of me, go to hell!"
Xiao Luoxue chased Jiang Chen for several kilometers, eventually becoming so tired she couldn't straighten her back.
He was so infuriating! The more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Was what Jiang Chen said just now even human language?
Anyone else would probably feel compelled to hit Jiang Chen after hearing his words.
"I think you should exercise more. You've only run for a short while, and you're already out of breath."
"Jiang Chen, I just realized today how incredibly annoying you are!"
Xiao Luoxue wanted to bite Jiang Chen to death. She straightened up and chased after Jiang Chen again.
Seeing that Xiao Luoxue wouldn't give up, Jiang Chen went easy on her, letting her get a few hits in, which finally made her feel better.
"Can you get off me now?" Jiang Chen asked Xiao Luoxue.
It was at this moment that Xiao Luoxue realized the intimate position they were in; she was actually straddling Jiang Chen.
She let out a soft huff, then her face turned beet red as she got off Jiang Chen and darted away.
The next day, it was time for the New Trainer Competition to begin.
The Tianhai Pokémon Arena was where the New Trainer Competition was held.
Jiang Chen followed the others from Tianhai Pokémon Academy to the competition venue.
"This competition is finally worthy of being called a 'competition'."
The previous campus ranking matches and friendly exchange matches were just child's play.
"In the elimination rounds, only one Pokémon can be used, so everyone, bring out your strongest Pokémon. Don't get eliminated in the elimination rounds!"
Old Zhang reminded Jiang Chen and the others.
The more the elimination rounds restricted to a single Pokémon, the easier it was for unexpected upsets to occur.
Some people wanted to hide their strength, not wanting to expose their true abilities for opponents to gather data, and in doing so, they ended up getting eliminated.
"Jiang Chen, Ling Wanqiu, while passing the elimination rounds, remember to also hide some of your trump cards," Old Zhang specifically instructed the two of them.
They were different from others. Others might stumble if they didn't bring out their strongest Pokémon. Jiang Chen and Ling Wanqiu were different; they definitely wouldn't stumble in the elimination rounds. Since they wouldn't stumble, they should appropriately hide some things.
"Understood."
Jiang Chen made an OK gesture. In reality, whether he hid anything or not didn't matter at all. He could casually send out any Pokémon, and very few people would be able to defeat him.
Many people participated. Although each city only had ten contestants, Xia Country had many cities, and over five thousand people came to participate.
The more participants there were, the fiercer the elimination rounds, because most people had to be eliminated.
After the elimination rounds, the top 128 would be decided.
In other words, out of these five thousand-plus people, only 128 would remain after the elimination rounds.
Hearing the number of people to be eliminated, the pressure immediately set in.
"It's over, I feel like I'm going to start shaking again," Wang Xin said with a bitter expression.
"It's not that bad, really, it's not that bad. It's just that most people will be eliminated. You'll be fine. Come on, believe in yourself."
Ling Wanqiu comforted Wang Xin.
"Didn't your goal before this was to enter the top eight? You're not scared by this elimination rate, are you?"
"Right, I want to enter the top eight. I can't be scared like this."
Wang Xin exhaled heavily. In fact, many people were under pressure. The truly unpressured ones were either genuine powerhouses with real strength, or they were the ones who planned to give up.
Before the New Trainer Competition began, the principals of all the major academies gave speeches, and the top leader of Tianhai City also attended.
The elimination rounds finally began in the afternoon.
Opponents were drawn randomly, so sometimes luck played a part.
Jiang Chen, this big shot, didn't need to worry about his opponents in the draw. No matter who he faced, Jiang Chen wouldn't lose.
In the afternoon, Jiang Chen had two matches in total. He won both directly. Nidoqueen was sent out and crushed everything, winning both matches without using a third move.
After the first day of elimination rounds, nearly a thousand people were eliminated, and some of the remaining ones had also lost a life.
The elimination rounds had one resurrection opportunity; being defeated twice consecutively would lead to complete elimination.
"Phew, I didn't expect my opponents to be so weak. All that worry for nothing."
Wang Xin also won both her matches, instantly gaining confidence. At least for the first few rounds of the elimination stage, she wouldn't lose as long as she wasn't too unlucky.
