Chapter 38 You've already tried your best
"Hmph, boring." Pei Shuang turned and walked out of the contestant tunnel.
If she doesn't leave soon, she'll suffer a bit today.
In the distance, the old butler disappeared silently, just as he had arrived.
Jiang Yueci composed herself, and when she returned, she started swaying her bun again.
"Let's go eat."
During the meal, she briefly explained the feud between the two.
He didn't reveal much of the truth, only saying that the two families didn't get along and that the woman would definitely target them relentlessly.
"She's in line number eleven."
Chu Yue was a little scared: "So, you mean one person can take down a team of five Pokémon?"
"That's right."
The opponent is very strong, and the Pokémon work together very well.
Its level, individual values, and skill combination are all excellent.
They far surpassed their ragtag army.
In the eyes of outsiders, Team No. 11 is the strongest new team in this competition.
After a moment of tension, Chu Yue recovered from her emotional distress: "It's okay, we're a team, everyone will definitely support you."
There was one more thing she didn't say.
As someone who relies on powerful figures, she has no control over whether they win or lose.
Just follow your teammates steadily.
Chu Yue really doesn't put any pressure on herself.
Emboldened by his newfound confidence, Lin Yue immediately declared, "I'll beat up whoever comes near."
Bai Weiyi pushed up his glasses: "It's difficult, but we're not without a chance. I'm not going to let anyone else have the title of the strongest freshman."
The girl with the bun smiled.
She laughed heartily: "This is the true spirit of the Moonlit Awesome Team!"
Lin Yue's lips twitched: "Can we change our team name? The audience laughs at us every time we perform."
"Request rejected."
Everyone enjoyed a delicious meal.
The next stage of the battle will be randomly assigned, and the specific opponents are still unknown.
When they returned to the arena, the big screen displayed information about the next stage of the competition.
The first match...
Team No. 7 Moon's Farewell is awesome! VS Team No. 11 Frost Silver.
"Well, what a small world."
The five people crossed the playground and headed towards the preparation area in the distance.
Pei Shuang's group emerged from the other side.
She was wearing a princess dress, and the four people behind her were wearing matching dark blue team uniforms with the Frost Silver Corporation's silver insignia on their chests.
Their steps were synchronized, with uniform spacing, like four pillars measured with a ruler.
Jiang Yueci explained in a low voice, "These people have received strict training since childhood. With just one word from that woman, they would be willing to die."
"Holy crap, this is insane?!" Lin Yue exclaimed in shock.
How come the world seems to have changed so much since I left my hometown?
Is it really illegal to commit murder in Tianqiong City?
Once the team had assembled, the two captains were the first to walk onto the high platform.
They need to decide on the format of the next round of the competition.
After a simple roll of the dice, Pei Shuang successfully gained the right to speak.
"Then let's have individual battles, using an elimination system." Pei Shuang smiled, her tone ruthless: "Fight it out one match at a time, and I will crush every single one of your team."
Jiang Yueci smiled: "Just don't cry if you lose the game."
When she returned to the team, she explained the game mode to everyone.
"Elimination system, who goes first?"
Chu Yue raised her hand: "I'll go first. Let me test the opponent's strength so that I can win more easily next time I go on stage."
She didn't care about her personal situation at all.
Jiang Yueci hesitated for a moment, but Fang Bo nodded in agreement: "Go ahead, just do your best."
Chu Yue nodded happily and walked towards the battle area with Bozai Duck in her arms.
A man named Ah Si walked out from the opposite side.
Bozi Duck came onto the field, its big eyes fixed on the little red fox opposite it.
[Pokémon: Flametail Fox]
Status: Good
[Rank: 8 (Iron Grade)]
[Attribute: Fire]
Individual Value: ★★
[Personality: Lively]
[Talent: Ignite]
[Comment: A young fox with a small flame burning at the tip of its tail; when it runs, the flame trails long, thin sparks.]
Ignite: When attacked by fire-attribute attacks, you can absorb a certain amount of energy, increasing the power of your next fire-attribute skill by 30%.
"An eighth-level elf," Fang Bo sighed inwardly.
Water-type attacks are effective against Fire-type attacks like Flametail Fox, but the level difference is significant.
Bozai Duck's chances of winning are slim.
Chu Yue took a deep breath and gave the command through her mind: "Bo Zai Duck, water curtain."
The duck opened its beak and exhaled a cloud of mesmerizingly colored water vapor.
It completely concealed its form, and anyone who dared to rush in would be severely beaten.
The experienced Flametail Fox on the other side quickly moved around the water curtain and approached Bobo Duck from the side.
Chu Yue reacted quickly, directing the sprite to readjust its posture.
Interference from the water mist, the fox's paws only managed to grab air when it swung them out.
"Not bad." Ah Si praised him lightly. He had originally wanted to conserve his magic power and end the battle with simple close combat, but now it seemed that he had wanted to keep it simple.
Even if someone is not very good at the entrance exam for Tianqiong, they are still better than young people from outside.
Under his command, the Flametail Fox's tail swung rapidly, and a large amount of flames surged from the tip of its tail, drawing a spiral vortex of flames in the air.
The water curtain shattered instantly, and Bozi Duck rushed out from the right side, but its body was still burned by the flames.
If it weren't for the mist obscuring the view, it would have been defeated in this attack.
"water gun!"
Bozi Duck opened its mouth, and a jet of water shot towards its opponent.
The target is not the enemy itself, but its burning tail.
Although it dodged the attack, its tail was still affected, causing the Flametail Fox's body to tremble involuntarily.
I feel extremely uncomfortable.
Ah Si frowned: "Don't give it a chance to breathe, keep attacking with your claws."
The Flame-Tailed Fox pounced, its claws striking alternately, each claw carrying a scorching stream of air.
Bozai Duck dodged left and right, but unfortunately, it was at a disadvantage in terms of size and speed.
The third claw slammed into its back, leaving a shallow scorch mark.
Bozi Duck let out a painful cry, but it gritted its teeth and did not fall.
Chu Yue's eyes reddened: "Bo Zai Ya, water bubbles!"
It spat out a bubble at point-blank range, which exploded on the Flametail Fox's face, causing it to pause involuntarily.
People in the stands were clapping.
Everyone genuinely thought that this water-type Pokémon fought quite well.
But Chu Yue knew it wouldn't last much longer.
Sure enough, as soon as Boziduck stood firm, the other party sprayed a pillar of bright red fire at it.
As the energy shield lit up, Bobo Duck, enveloped in fluorescent light, announced its defeat.
"..." Chu Yue went on stage, picked up Bozai Duck, and walked back to the line with her head down.
Jiang Yueci gently patted her on the back.
The other teammates all spoke up to comfort the duckling, and even the green-feathered snake in Fang Bo's arms stretched out its vines to gently stroke the duckling's forehead.
"Huh?"
At this moment, Jiang Yueci stood up and looked firmly at the arena: "I'll go."
This whole thing started because of her, so she should be made to repay the injustice her teammates suffered.
Pei Shuang sat in the contestants' seat, her hands folded on her knees, a faint smile always on her face: "You're finally out. I hope you like the gift I prepared."
Ah Si in the opposing team's seat seemed to have received some kind of signal.
Summon the Flametail Fox back to your side and feed it a special kind of food.
