Niji-no-Hane Academy, with its vast scale, provided a place of learning and growth for most students in the Kanto region, attracting all sorts of people from all over.
In this large family, students learned from each other through Pokémon battles, honing their skills and growing together.
The 'Bouffalant Cup' was held throughout the entire Niji-no-Hane Academy. It was a large-scale event, and the school itself was the battlefield.
You could participate as an individual or as a team. The battle rules were 1v1 or 3v3. Winning a battle earned you battle points, the amount of which was determined by the number of Pokémon used.
The entire school was equipped with surveillance cameras. Once a battle was observed, the contestants would be automatically identified, and at the end of the match, the winner's battle points would be automatically tallied.
The event lasted from 7 AM to 5 PM. The top ten in battle points would get access to the Tera Dome, points, and TMs.
The power of science is truly great!
The thought couldn't help but cross Satoru's mind.
The cup clearly favored those with more Pokémon and teams with more trainers, as they could participate in more battles and have longer rest times for their Pokémon and themselves.
Unfortunately, Satoru currently only had 3 Pokémon, and his team only had 6 members. These two conditions were completely at odds with the ideal.
Which meant...
We're going to lose!
He probably couldn't get first place. The teams aiming for victory were all packed with members. Although there was a point correction for smaller teams, it wasn't much.
Considering the stamina of his Pokémon and himself, he would need to rest for about 10 minutes after each battle. At noon, he would have to rush to the cafeteria or buy food from the snack stalls to replenish his energy.
Niji-no-Hane was the most competitive school in Kanto. Everything had to be carefully considered.
For example, to prevent people from overworking their Pokémon and themselves, and to allow for quick care after battles, teams would usually split into pairs to participate.
Currently, since it was his first time participating in a cup and he had no experience, Satoru was at a considerable disadvantage.
But Satoru and his happy girl(friend)s were facing an even more difficult problem.
And that was...
The team name!
"What should we name the team? Have you guys even thought about it?"
Soyo said coldly. The six of them had gathered to register the team, but no one had decided on a name.
She had sent countless messages in the group chat last night, but they were all unread.
Then what's the point of this group chat?!
Thinking of being ignored, Soyo's gaze grew even colder.
To have no communication before such a large-scale event... if people found out, they'd be laughed to death.
No matter what they say, I, Nagasaki Soyo, will not forgive them!
Nagasaki Soyo's eyes were firm, her heart filled with the will to refuse.
She gradually released a murderous aura, making Anon and Tomori start to tremble.
"Sorry, Soyo. I was completely engrossed in training last night. Can you forgive me?"
Satoru apologized apologetically.
These past few days, due to training, he really hadn't had the time to think of a team name. After all, their team was a bit of a mess.
And the day before, he was researching the school's powerhouses and training, completely missing the messages in the group chat.
Satoru is apologizing to me
A blush spread across Soyo's face, her heart racing like a frightened deer.
"It's fine, Satoru. It's completely okay? You must have worked really hard yesterday"
She put on her gentle, fake mask, her frustration swept away.
Motherly aura at full power!
Giving him the gentlest experience.
Two-faced bitch!
Seeing this, Anon and Taki couldn't help but have this thought.
After spending some time together, these two had also roughly understood her feelings for Satoru. But Anon had no intention of letting Satoru go to Soyo.
Because ever since that day she had run away and been saved by Satoru, she felt that her heart was strange.
It was probably love!
Chihaya Anon, with the heart of a normal girl, roughly understood the answer.
In that case, she couldn't possibly let Satoru go to a two-faced villain like Soyo.
Unfortunately, Anon couldn't express her feelings as honestly as Soyo. In fact, there was a clown who was so blatant with her feelings, yet the target hadn't even noticed. She had probably evolved from a clown to a mega-clown.
"How about we name the team 'Anon-Kanto'?"
To ease the atmosphere, Anon came up with a team name. Hearing this, everyone's inner thought was 'impossible'.
"Are you kidding me?!" Taki immediately objected fiercely.
Of everyone here, she probably disliked Anon the most. Weak and playful, she really needed a good whipping.
"I'm not kidding~!"
"Hah?"
The two started arguing, and for a rare moment, Satoru's attention was drawn by Furiko.
[Satoru-baby, Satoru-baby, I have a mission for you~~]
[Mission: Get a top-five finish in the 'Bouffalant Cup'. Reward: Key Stone.]
Key Stone: A stone that holds an unknown power. It allows a Pokémon holding a Mega Stone to Mega Evolve.
[Ehehehe Amazing, right? Hurry up and praise me~]
Normally, Mega Evolution required a Key Stone and a Mega Stone, and Satoru didn't have any Pokémon that could Mega Evolve.
Which meant that having a Key Stone now was completely useless.
Satoru didn't know what to say, so he just replied casually in his mind.
"Thanks, Furiko. You're a useful thing!"
[Ooh Satoru Love? Uheheh Date me with the intention of marriage.]
Stop being weird!
Realizing that Furiko was being weird again, Satoru stopped paying attention to her and focused on his teammates.
At this moment, Soyo was filling out the registration information.
"I'll just fill in something random. How about MYGO? As for the meaning, it's hope that this hopeless team can move forward."
Soyo said coldly. No one had any objections. At least it was better than Anon's idea.
The team name was decided so simply. But there was one more thing.
And that was分组 (grouping). To prevent people from overworking their Pokémon and themselves, and to allow for quick care after battles, the team had to split into pairs.
The current situation was: Satoru and Tomori were fine with anything. Anon and Soyo wanted to be in a group with Satoru, and Taki wanted to be with Tomori. As for the cat-like Raana, she was playing with her Pokémon and not participating in the conversation.
I have to take down Soyo-san (little Anon)!
Anon and Soyo's eyes met. Although neither of them voiced their thoughts, they both knew: the loser had to team up with Raana.
The two started typing on their phones with god-like speed.
Soyo: Let's do rock-paper-scissors. It's the fairest.
Anon: If you lose, Soyo-san, you can't complain, okay~
Soyo: Don't worry...
Soyo: We will win!
After sending the message, a look of absolute victory appeared on Soyo's face. Her gaze was as sharp as a sword, fixed on Anon. Anon felt the pressure and nervously swallowed, then raised her hand.
The two's hands quickly played rock-paper-scissors. Soyo unhesitatingly threw a rock, while Anon threw a paper.
"Huh?! I lost!" Instantly, Soyo's eyes widened, as if they were about to pop out of their sockets.
"Then I'll be in a group with Satoru. Soyo-san can stay here and be in a group with Raana-chan."
Anon leaned close to Soyo's ear and spoke in a low, cruel voice. She then turned and left, leaving only Soyo's wail behind.
"Wait, I'll do anything! Please, can we do best of three?!"
...
"Let's go!"
At this moment, Satoru's eyes were shining with excitement and longing, his smile as bright as the sun.
In front of him was a shorts-kid with immense confidence.
"Asama Satoru, I heard you took down the practical skills teacher Haha Only you are worthy of being my opponent! Go, Arbok! Bring me victory!"
With a flick of his wrist, the shorts-kid threw out an Arbok.
Seeing this, the fire in Satoru's eyes burned even brighter.
"Just what I wanted! Raichu, I choose you!"
