Pokémon: An Encounter with You

Chapter 263 Enrollment

Shi Qiu still did not give the powerful tiger-fang boy a gym badge.

Of course, according to the gym's assessment standards, the opponent's strength and performance are completely sufficient.

The reason why I didn't give him the badge was because it was obvious that Xiao Ye would come to challenge again.

You can see it in his eyes.

"I will only be the acting museum owner for two days." Shi Qiu thought about it and suddenly said this out of the blue.

Xiao Ye was stunned for a moment, but soon understood what Shi Qiu meant.

However, his focus is not here.

"Are you going to participate in the Hundred Schools Competition?" He looked surprised and couldn't help but ask in a low voice.

He didn't even have time to take care of the disastrous defeat that had just occurred.

Shi Qiu nodded.

Xiao Ye didn't know what to say for a moment.

Not to mention Shi Qiu, even for him, who was in the quarterfinals of the previous league competition, he could still dominate the so-called Hundred Schools Championship like a fish in water without any hindrance.

After all, a year ago, he was one of the most sought-after talents in China.

Xiaoye was in the top eight at the age of 15. Now he is 16 years old and is about to participate in the competition again. Everyone believes that he will definitely get a better ranking.

Now you actually say you are going to compete in the Hundred Schools Championship. If you don’t hurry up and collect badges during this time, aren’t you just wasting time?

There was a hint of pity and disappointment(?) in Xiaoye's eyes.

…………

…………

In the current Chinese region, no, or in most of the regions with considerable strength, before taking the college entrance examination and entering university, trainers will mainly take two paths.

One is like Shi Qiu, who enters the academy to study. Generally, it is for children over 10 years old, and they receive six years of education.

Privately, they are collectively referred to as academic trainers by the public.

There is another one, like Xiaoye, who did not enter local colleges after the age of 10, but started traveling and practicing within the Huaxia area or even other areas. He would basically train Pokémon centered at the gym until a certain age, when he would open a special college entrance examination channel.

They are collectively referred to as Traveling Trainers by the public.

The derivations and actual situations of the two schools are actually similar to the two paths in the Pokémon world.

The only difference is that due to the large population in the Chinese region, under the policy encouragement of the Pokémon League, the academic faction will be much larger than the latter, unlike the original Pokémon world where the traveling faction is the majority.

Shi Qiu was originally a traveler, but when he was about to starve to death on the road, he was picked up by his former class teacher Liu Ling's Dong Shi Cat and sent to Youye Academy for training.

From then on, he changed from a traveler to a direct descendant of the academic school.

…………

…………

After being stared at by Xiao Ye with an inexplicably painful look for a while, Shi Qiu decided to follow the fine tradition of Lord Jing.

"Are you going to take the college entrance exam early this year? Kyoto University can recruit you as an exception, just like they recruited me."

"With your talent and ability, and the support of the school, it won't be long before you advance into the top three of the league competition and rank among the district's top three!"

As Shi Qiu was speaking, he suddenly got excited and experienced the happiness that Rong Dao had felt back then. He became more and more excited as he spoke.

Xiaoye:......Ah?

The young man with tiger teeth, who originally wanted to carefully choose his words to persuade Shi Qiu, was instead confused and at a loss.

Seems like that makes sense?

To be honest, he has been in a bottleneck period for a long time, and he doesn't have much confidence in this year's league competition.

It must be great to be able to train Shi Qiu to be the Jingda that he is now, right?

The referee of Luolong Gym coughed heavily.

Ahem, kids, we are still in the gym challenge period. Don’t you see that there are still so many people who haven’t taken the test yet?

Moreover, as the true owner of Luolong Gym, the champion Long Luo, he graduated from Mizuki University!

Isn't it a bit inappropriate for you, a Beijing University student, to recruit students here?

Shi Qiu glanced at the time and finally decided to add Rotom's contact information to Xiao Ye first.

I am going to be a senior too!

…………

Xiao Ye was led down by a set of people. After adding the contact information in a daze, he was politely asked to leave the stage by the staff. Only then did he remember about the league competition.

"Ah, I haven't yet persuaded the acting gym leader to collect badges."

The companion next to him recalled something and hesitated, "I remember that the champion team of the Hundred Schools Competition seems to be qualified to participate in the next league competition?"

Xiao Ye was stunned. Could it be that the acting gym owner was participating in the competition just for this?

In his league competition, six people did use this quota and entered the conference knockout stage directly without collecting eight badges.

However, the results were not very ideal.

Xiaoye also encountered a situation where only one Pokémon appeared, but it defeated the three opposing Pokémon at the cost of being seriously injured.

So he did feel that the intensity of the Hundred Schools Competition was average.

"In that case, we probably won't meet this acting gym leader at this year's Alliance Conference." Xiao Ye's tone was complicated, with a mixture of regret and relief.

"Forget it, I don't want to think about this anymore, let's go back to special training." Xiaoye smiled, his little fangs faintly revealing his energy.

"I'll try to get the Luolong badge when I challenge you tomorrow, and then try to see if I can beat that foam squirrel."

…………

After being treated with the power of Changpan, the Green Vine Snake's injuries were still a little weak.

She originally wanted to continue fighting, but after seeing Shi Qiu's vague worry, she sighed in her heart and took the initiative to say that she wanted to go back to the simulator to rest and digest some of the gains from the battle with Charizard.

Shi Qiu then breathed a sigh of relief.

Just as Shi Qiu respected her wishes and persistence, and even though he was worried, he chose to let her face the purgatory that was obviously far beyond her ability.

The Green Vine Snake would also be willing to do some things that were not in line with its character because of Shi Qiu's consideration, just to stop doing something for the sake of its own young man.

They always give in for each other.

......

Afterwards, Shi Qiu let Zechui Zoroark take on the challenge, and Alola Ninetales was placed in second place as a backup.

Although the Xi Cui fox lost to the Green Ivy Snake last time, that was because the Green Ivy Snake often trained in the illusion and seemed to have some special sensitivity that was unique to "snakes", so it hit him continuously with the Leaf Storm.

But in external battles, the pressure brought by Xicui Soroya will actually be much higher.

"Phoenix King, sacred flame."

The colorful phoenix flapped its wings, a loud and clear bird song sounded, and a pillar of hot fire with a golden color knocked the giant mantis on the opposite side out of its combat capability with just one strike.

Including the audience, the question marks around the heads of the challengers on the opposite side seemed to be real after they saw the legendary elf turned back into a red and white fox after a burst of mist.
