Spirit Dimension: Tricking Groudon at the Start

The Jingtian Academy Principal's voice was resonant and powerful, and the other teachers agreed.

"Next, Zhao Shenchuan..."

There were many similar situations in various universities.

Those who performed well on the trial rankings on the first day would generally maintain stable scores, as long as they didn't encounter any accidents.

After all, this represented strong adaptability in the candidate trainers.

"Heavenly King Su, you said Su Yi..."

At the South Lake Province's number one Spirit Academy, Principal Gao Xiang looked at Su Xiyan with a conflicted expression.

Seeing Gao Xiang's disbelief in her brother, Su Xiyan rolled her eyes.

"Don't worry, I know my brother better than any of you. He definitely has his own plans right now and won't affect his final ranking on the trial list."

In this world, Su Xiyan was able to become a Heavenly King thanks to the training direction and methods Su Yi provided.

Was she kidding? Doubting her brother?

Su Yi was completely unaware of these matters.

For now, let those people fight for the trial rankings.

He didn't take this senior year spirit exam seriously at all.

What was most important to him now was to find his first suitable spirit battle team in the Spirit Primal Forest!

The Spirit Primal Forest wasn't a place you could just enter whenever you pleased!

It was the largest spirit forest in the country, with the most diverse and complete range of spirits!

Only trainers who were high school exam candidates or trainers who had achieved a certain ranking in the national Pokémon League competitions could enter.

Those who rushed for the trial rankings immediately upon entering were undoubtedly either idiots with some strength and luck, or pampered young ladies and gentlemen supported by powerful family backgrounds.

Many people participated in the spirit college entrance examination not only to get into a spirit university but also for another purpose: to find several more spirits with high qualifications and development potential in the Spirit Primal Forest!

"Kaka, kaka!"

Suddenly, a cracking sound came from ahead.

Su Yi reacted instantly.

The Frogadier and Torchic beside him also quickly quieted their footsteps.

Behind a large rock, there was a spirit with a big head.

It was using its hard jaw to gnaw on the rock.

A Trapinch!

Its final evolved form was Flygon, which would possess Dragon-type attributes and was very precious!

Good, the Good Luck Card had worked!

"Spirit": Trapinch

"Qualification": Purple

"Level": Lv.20

"Attribute": Ground

"Ability": Sand Veil

"Learned Skills": Sand Attack, Bite, Assurance, Endure, Mud-Slap, Bulldoze, Sand Tomb, Rock Tomb, Dig, Crunch, Earth Power

My goodness, Su Yi clicked his tongue in amazement after using Eye of Investigation to check the Trapinch's information.

This Good Luck Card was truly unbeatable. Without a doubt, this Trapinch was extremely rare!

With Purple Qualification, it had already learned two powerful skills, Crunch and Earth Power, at Lv.20.

Frogadier was also Lv.19 now, as it had encountered several other spirits before encountering this Trapinch.

Torchic was only one level away from evolving.

"Torchic, you can just learn by watching this time. Frogadier, you go."

"Ribbit!"

Frogadier nodded.

The noise here had already alerted the Trapinch that was gnawing on the rock.

"Kaka!"

The Trapinch stopped eating and looked towards Su Yi and Frogadier, Xie Chen.

"Good vigilance. Trapinch, let's battle!"

"Ribbit!"

When invited to battle by a wild spirit, the wild spirit understood what a trainer meant.

As expected, the Trapinch instantly locked onto Frogadier.

"Crunch, crunch!!!"

Making a sound like it was chewing on rocks, Trapinch raised its two front paws high and stomped down hard on the ground!

In an instant, the earth shook!

This was its powerful Stomp skill!

Su Yi's gaze grew more fervent. It was indeed a Trapinch, the larval form of a Flygon with Purple Qualification.

"Frogadier, use the rocks on the ground to your advantage, utilize your jumping ability, and unleash Water Pulse!"

Trapinch feared water!

It was slow-moving. This kind of Pokémon would dig funnel-shaped holes in the ground to trap its prey.

Or it would use hard rocks as food.

Based on the current environment, Su Yi instantly came up with a way to win quickly.

Although Frogadier was initially affected by Trapinch's Stomp, it used its leg strength to jump, using the surrounding rocks to leap around Trapinch. Stomp no longer affected it.

A pale blue Water Pulse condensed and was thrown at Trapinch!

"Crunch..."

Trapinch was slow and didn't choose to dodge. Instead, it condensed a giant rock in front of its mouth!

Rock Tomb!

Rock Tomb collided with Water Pulse, exploding in mid-air!

The explosion's commotion affected the nearby wild Pokémon and trainer candidates.

Many trainer candidates who were preparing to capture wild Pokémon angrily turned their gazes toward the explosion.

Because of the explosion, the wild Pokémon they were trying to catch had escaped.

However, despite their anger, they didn't dare to seek trouble.

After all, no one was foolish.

Firstly, they couldn't be sure if it was another trainer candidate who caused it. Secondly, if it really was another trainer candidate, an explosion of this magnitude would undoubtedly mean they were a powerhouse.

But they were curious!

Curiosity drove their legs toward Su Yi.

"Continuously use Water Pulse!"

"Ribbit!"

Frogadier unleashed Water Pulse repeatedly. Trapinch countered with Rock Tomb. However, what Trapinch didn't realize was that as Water Pulse and Rock Tomb's rocks collided, the scattered water directly fell onto the ground around Trapinch.

The ground gradually became wet.

The ground softened, and to a certain extent, Trapinch's four feet suddenly sank in!

"Good opportunity, Frogadier, one more time, charge forward, Water Pulse!"

Su Yi waited for his chance.

This Water Pulse directly hit Trapinch. The damage from the super-effective move severely depleted Trapinch's stamina.

Hit by Water Pulse, Trapinch's head felt groggy. It couldn't clearly see the charging Frogadier. Frogadier got close!

"Good, use Quick Attack for the final blow!"

"Ribbit!"

It struck Trapinch like lightning, sending it flying.

"Attack, Advanced Pokeball!"

Su Yi threw his second Advanced Pokeball since arriving in the Spirit Primal Forest.

The Advanced Pokeball captured Trapinch. It fell to the ground, shaking back and forth.

Slowly, it stopped and with a thump, it was successfully captured.

"Excellent, I've captured a Trapinch!"

A larval form of Flygon with Purple Qualification, successfully captured. Now, all he needed to do was nurture it well, and he would have a flying Flygon!

This was truly satisfying. Compared to this, games were weak.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host. Frogadier's outstanding performance has triggered a hidden reward: Skill Awakening Card: Slash!]

Skill Awakening Card, Slash!

A good item.

Su Yi's heart leaped with joy.

He could totally awaken a skill for Frogadier.

"Frogadier, you did great."

While praising Frogadier, Su Yi summoned Trapinch and took out an Advanced Recovery Potion from his Spatial Storage.

He didn't have many potions, but luckily, there was a Pokémon Center set up in the Spirit Primal Forest.

As long as he had enough coins.

"System, Skill Awakening Card, Slash, target character Frogadier, use!"

[Ding! Congratulations to the host, for using the Slash Skill Awakening Card, Frogadier has successfully awakened the skill, Slash!]

"Froga?"

Frogadier suddenly froze.

It looked at Su Yi with a confused gaze.

Because it had just felt like a skill it hadn't awakened or learned yet, called Slash, had appeared in its mind.

"You did very well just now, keep up the good work."
