Spirit Dimension: Tricking Groudon at the Start

Su Yi praised Frogadier.

He had already called out Trapinch.

After giving Trapinch the Advanced Recovery Potion to drink, the little fellow looked curiously at Su Yi. The Advanced Pokeball created a faint connection between it and Su Yi.

"Trapinch, these are Frogadier and Torchic. From now on, everyone is partners. Let's grow stronger together. Get some rest."

"Crack, crack!"

Trapinch nodded its big head, making cracking sounds from its mouth.

The cooperation between Su Yi and Frogadier just now had completely won Trapinch over.

By then, the noise caused by Trapinch and Frogadier's skill clash had attracted people over.

They all saw the Trapinch Su Yi had just recalled.

"Damn, a Trapinch—the juvenile form of Flygon! I'm jealous!"

"That's already three Spirits? He's been here for less than half a day! My jealousy is causing plasmolysis!"

"He's definitely a real big shot. Does anyone know him?"

"He's probably at least in the top hundred of the Trial Ranking."

"..."

More than a dozen Trainers gradually gathered nearby.

Su Yi had no intention of talking to them. Only one-sixth of his Good Luck Card's twenty-four-hour effect had passed, so this was the perfect time to seize the opportunity to search for good Spirits.

There was no need to waste time here.

Seeing that Su Yi was about to leave, someone among the dozen or so examinee Trainers immediately called out an invitation.

"Big shot, there are legendary beasts appearing in the distance. Aren't you going to take a look?"

Legendary beasts!

That shout immediately drew everyone's attention, including Su Yi's.

"Uh... I only heard it from someone else. There's a Thundercloud Forest over there, and deep within it is Thundercloud Mountain. Because of the weather, many Electric Type Spirits gather around there, so it's also attracted a lot of examinee Trainers."

After hearing this, everyone's eyes immediately lit up.

There was such a good opportunity?

"If it's such a good opportunity, why would you just tell us directly? Right now, all of us, including the big shot, are competitors on the Trial Ranking!"

Someone voiced his doubts.

He had asked what everyone was thinking.

Su Yi understood inwardly. Most likely, that place had already been claimed by someone.

Sure enough, the person from before hesitantly said, "Thundercloud Mountain has been occupied by people from the Murong Family of Sichuan Province. No one else can get in. Quite a few people have gathered there already, but no one has taken the lead... If the big shot goes over..."

He left the rest unsaid.

If Su Yi went over, those people would definitely rally around him and break through the other side's blockade.

Sichuan Province. The Murong Family.

Su Yi knew that the Murong Family was vaguely regarded as the top family in Sichuan Province. There was more than one Heavenly King Trainer in the family.

Only a family with a Heavenly King Trainer could be called a noble family.

If it had a Peak Trainer overseeing it, then it would be a Super Noble Family!

It stood even above noble families.

"Lead the way."

Su Yi was naturally interested in Thundercloud Mountain as well. It would be nice if he could capture an Electric Spirit with decent aptitude.

At Su Yi's two words, "lead the way," a trace of delight flashed through the informant's eyes.

As long as he could fool a big shot into going there, the other side's attention would definitely be focused on the big shot. Then, people like them could take advantage of the chaos and fish in troubled waters!

Su Yi knew what the man was thinking, but he did not care in the slightest, because there was no way he would let himself become these people's weapon.

Use him?

Impossible!

Since Su Yi was going, the other dozen or so examinee Trainers immediately decided to follow as well.

On one hand, they wanted to watch the show. A big shot's Spirit Battle was bound to be exciting.

On the other hand, it was for themselves.

If they followed behind the big shot and fished in troubled waters, wouldn't capturing an Electric Spirit be wonderful?

By the time the group arrived at Thundercloud Mountain, forty or fifty examinee Trainers had already gathered there.

There had originally been more, but many people left after arriving, unwilling to waste their time here.

"My young lady said that only those with strength are qualified to enter. Trainers whose Spirits haven't evolved even once wouldn't be able to capture an Electric Spirit even if they went in."

"If you want to go in, battle any one of us. Win, and you can enter."

"Or wait until our young lady finishes catching her Spirit inside, then you can go in."

At the foot of Thundercloud Mountain, dark clouds filled the sky as rolling thunder roared.

In the Thundercloud Woodland below Thundercloud Mountain, five trainer examinees dressed in matching uniforms stood blocking the way.

Three Spirits that had each evolved once stood beside every one of them.

"What the hell? Aren't you being way too overbearing?"

"Since when did the senior-year Spirit graduation exam in Spirit Primal Forest say these places belonged to your Murong Family?"

"A big shot is here! A big shot is here!"

Everyone complained that the people here were being unfair.

But against the Murong Family of Sichuan Province, just look at this—their young lady was taking the senior-year exam with accompanying trainers!

They were the same age and all taking the Spirit exam, yet these five people in matching uniforms willingly stood guard here for the young lady they spoke of.

More importantly, all three Spirits in their hands had already completed one evolution!

Judging by the Trial Ranking alone, these people could all be considered heaven's favored geniuses!

That was precisely why, even though some people in the distance had seen the strange phenomenon over Thundercloud Mountain and knew there was a legendary beast there, they only complained here and never dared step forward. A handful of trainer examinees had challenged them, but they were easily defeated by the five trainers guarding this place.

After Su Yi arrived, he understood the situation after taking a few looks.

Without another word, he summoned Torchic.

For no other reason than that Side Quest 9 needed exactly three more Spirit Battle victories to be completed.

Once it was completed, he could refresh the side quests again.

When they saw Su Yi arrive and immediately take out a Spirit, the trainer examinees who had been complaining were delighted.

Was there really a big shot willing to stand up for them and defeat these people from the Murong Family of Sichuan Province?

Su Yi knew what they were thinking, and he only had one thing to say to them: Keep dreaming!

Seeing Su Yi bring out Torchic, one of the five trainers stepped forward with an Ambipom.

Ambipom's data was revealed to Su Yi without reservation through his Eye of Investigation.

"Spirit": Ambipom

"Qualification": Blue Qualification

"Level": lv.15

"Attribute": Normal

"Ability": Skill Link

"Learned Skills": Dual Chop, Double Hit, Scratch, Sand Attack, Astonish, Fury Swipes, Swift

A Blue Qualification Ambipom—no wonder it had learned Double Hit at lv.15.

After all, if Aipom did not learn Double Hit[

Su Yi looked at Torchic. As long as it defeated its opponent, Torchic would probably evolve.

However, Su Yi was somewhat curious about the young lady from the Murong Family of Sichuan Province.

This Murong Family was certainly willing to spend a fortune.

"Ambipom, Sand Attack!"

"Torchic, jump up and use Flame Vortex!"

This trainer from the Murong Family wanted to test Torchic's strength first.

Ambipom used its two tails to scoop up two handfuls of dirt and sand, then hurled them at Torchic.

Torchic charged toward Ambipom, then leaped forcefully the instant the dirt and sand came flying over!

In midair, Torchic opened its beak and spat out flames!

Spinning flames—Flame Vortex!

The opposing trainer never expected Torchic to be able to use Flame Vortex!

Ambipom was directly crushed by the Flame Vortex, the attack concentrated on it!

It collapsed in just three seconds.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host. Torchic successfully defeated Ambipom, gaining Battle Experience and reaching lv.16!]

"Chimo!"

After defeating its opponent, Torchic let out a delighted cry as an unprecedented radiance burst from its body!

It was evolving!

"Damn, he's definitely a real big shot. A Torchic that can learn Flame Vortex has completely shattered my understanding of what's normal!"

"Torchic evolved after winning just one battle. Counting that Frogadier from before, he already has two evolved Spirits."

"Heh, I only care about when we can get in. No matter how strong anyone else is, they're not my Pokémon."

The spectators around them began discussing among themselves. Su Yi nodded. Torchic evolving into Combusken was within expectations.

Torchic's Qualification had already risen to Purple Qualification. With the same amount of Battle Experience, Purple Qualification allowed for greater growth than Blue Qualification.

Next, he only needed to gain four more levels to complete Side Quest 8 as well.

"Come out, Kricketune!"

His opponent actually sent out a Bug Type Pokémon—Kricketune.

Su Yi shook his head. He had thought the Murong Family was supposed to be impressive.

Just a Kricketune with Green Qualification.

Against the evolved Combusken's assault, Kricketune did not last any longer than Aipom and was quickly defeated.

[Ding! Congratulations, Host. Combusken has successfully defeated Kricketune and gained Battle Experience.]

The trainer examinees watching from this side stirred in commotion. Clearly, Su Yi's Combusken had shocked them.

For the third Pokémon, his opponent sent out an Electric Spirit—Voltorb.

Su Yi recalled Combusken, then summoned the fully recovered Trapinch.

The moment the level 20 Trapinch appeared, everyone's attention was drawn over once again.

"Voltorb..."

"Earth Power!"

Su Yi gave the other side no opportunity at all. Voltorb was an Electric Spirit, and Electric Type moves were ineffective against the Ground Type Trapinch...
