Spirit Dimension: Tricking Groudon at the Start

However, the number of challenges each trainer can receive daily is unlimited!

When a challenge is lost, half of the loser's points are directly transferred to the winner.

The Spirit Watch automatically deducts or adds points.

In other words, this is a loophole that is obvious to everyone.

For disciples of Noble Families, like Murong Qianjin.

They directly prepare "sub-accounts."

"Sub-account preparation" means having their subordinates, who are also participating trainers, accompany them in the exam to collect points normally.

Then, at the crucial final moment when climbing the rankings, all sub-accounts directly lose Spirit Battles to one person.

That person's points will skyrocket instantly!

It's indeed unfair, but where is there absolute fairness?

After all, their sub-accounts were also prepared through normal exam procedures.

The sub-accounts didn't intentionally lose!

Later on, the top five thousand trainers on the Trial Ranking were too afraid to challenge others easily.

With one slip-up, half their points could vanish, and they might drop out of the top 100,000.

"Charge! I've finally been waiting for this, a challenger! Hahaha, I've been conserving my strength, wasn't this exactly what I was waiting for!"

"I've already locked onto my target, hehe!"

"I bet that Su Yi is the same as us, deliberately not raising his rank, keeping a low profile, just waiting for this moment. Besides those from South Lake Province, hardly anyone knows him. One wrong move and half your points are gone, it's a sweet deal!"

"..."

It's madness!

In order to promote themselves into the top 100,000, tens of millions of trainers in the four Spirit Primal Forests across the country have gone mad!

They are frantically challenging their predetermined targets around them.

Today, Su Yi also emerged from a cave with his four Pokémon.

Over these past twenty-odd days, he hadn't even returned to the Pokémon Center.

He only went to buy supplies after his current ones ran out.

He also encountered other trainer candidates. Thanks to the System's Battle Drop Function, he often received some gold coins.

He had figured out this function; the most frequently dropped item was gold coins.

As Su Yi walked out, several people were already searching for him!

Su Yi returned to the Pokémon Center.

Groudon had already returned to its Master Ball.

Over these past twenty-odd days, Groudon's help had been invaluable; no Pokémon above Lv. 25 had approached the cave.

In twenty-odd days, Su Yi's Frogadier, Combusken, Trapinch, and Flaaffy had all made significant progress.

Their physical instincts.

Their combat awareness.

Their skill execution.

"Hello, your four Pokémon have been checked and their stamina restored. There are no issues."

As Su Yi took his four Advanced Pokeballs from the Pokémon Center receptionist, he was about to put them away when he noticed two people standing motionlessly, watching him.

Clearly, they had noticed him some time ago.

"Well, well, if it isn't the famous number one on the Knowledge Ranking! The national top rank, what brings you to the Pokémon Center without even a prior announcement? That's hardly befitting your title."

The Pokémon Center announcement referred to trainers in the top one thousand of the Trial Ranking. When such a trainer arrived at a Pokémon Center, the center's sensors would detect their Spirit Watch and notify all trainers present.

This was the pressure that the top one thousand on the Trial Ranking had to endure.

Su Yi knew these two were doing it on purpose.

He narrowed his eyes. These two were interesting. Who was behind them?

Someone was so eager to give him points; Su Yi was looking forward to it!

Their words clearly drew the attention of everyone in the Pokémon Center to Su Yi.

"Whoa, I didn't even know! The all-time number one on the Knowledge Ranking, a perfect score, that's incredible!"

"I feel like his Knowledge Ranking score is inflated. He's not even in the top one thousand on the Trial Ranking, talk about undeserved fame!"

"Maybe he's planning a 'play dumb to catch the smart ones' strategy..."

A crowd of trainers buzzed with discussion.

"He's Su Yi? Apart from being slightly more handsome than me, having a higher ranking on the Knowledge Ranking, and being more famous than me, I must say, I consider myself..."

"Pfft, are you still dreaming? Is it that hard to admit someone else's excellence?"

"Do you have any business with me talking? If you disagree, let's have a Spirit Battle!"

"……"

"Which of your masters sent you?"

The two men's faces changed; he was insulting them.

However, remembering the warning from the person behind them, the two endured it.

"You still have some self-awareness. Do you remember Ning Tao, whom you almost crippled at the Pokémon Center more than twenty days ago? He's the cousin of Ning Zhi, a young master of the Ning Family. We won't make things difficult for you; he's currently at the battle arena over there."

The two pointed to the battle arena in the Pokémon Center.

The other examinee trainers grew excited.

That was Ning Zhi, who ranked within the top 100 on the Trial Ranking, at ninety-second place!

And Su Yi?

Su Yi's current rank was over thirty thousand.

This was even before the points challenge had gained traction.

If Su Yi's points didn't increase significantly in the next two or three days, he might be pushed out of the top 100,000!

Therefore, all the examinee trainers were looking forward to a Spirit Battle between a big shot ranked ninety-second on the Trial Ranking and the Knowledge Ranking!

Free points delivered to his doorstep, why refuse?

Su Yi nodded and agreed!

He remembered the Ning Family. Although they didn't have a Heavenly King Trainer, they had many elite trainers.

They were considered a decent Noble Family.

Ning Zhi was someone the Ning Family had poured all their resources into promoting.

His starter Pokémon was also a Purple Qualification Pokémon!

The Pokémon League couldn't completely determine a Pokémon's qualification; they only made a rough distinction.

His Purple Qualification Pokémon was a Seedot.

It had already evolved into a Nuzleaf, and then he used the Sableye prepared by his family!

He was one of the few examinee trainers who possessed a Pokémon with a second-stage final evolution!

And now, Ning Zhi knew that his cousin Ning Tao had been defeated by Su Yi.

Although his relationship with his cousin Ning Tao wasn't particularly close, as they were both from the Ning Family, and he was the strongest of the younger generation in the Ning Family, he naturally felt Su Yi had shown disrespect!

The group arrived at the battle arena in the Pokémon Center.

Seeing Su Yi approach, Ning Zhi actually nodded at him amicably.

He wasn't planning to do anything to Su Yi himself; he wasn't the only one planning to target Su Yi this time!

He had allied with several top-twenty examinee trainers, the so-called proud sons of heaven.

Because after these final five days, everyone would undergo a practical Pokémon combat ranking!

This involved private alliances and teams.

They all wanted to test Su Yi, the number one on the Knowledge Ranking nationwide, to see how much real skill he truly possessed!

Su Yi smiled. He still needed two more Pokémon for Side Quest 10, a few more Pokémon for Side Quest 11, and two more trainers for Side Quest 12.

In Su Yi's eyes, these weren't opponents but stepping stones for him to complete his Side Quests and claim his rewards!

"Quick, quick, quick, Su Yi, number one on the Knowledge Ranking, is confronting Ning Zhi, ranked ninety-second on the Trial Ranking. Hurry and watch."

"Amazing, I know Ning Zhi, but why is Su Yi only ranked over thirty thousand on the Trial Ranking?"

"He's probably playing dumb to lure the enemy, a classic move for big shots."

"……"

More and more examinee trainers gathered around the battle arena.

Ning Zhi glanced around, feeling it was enough. The people here were sufficient to spread the news of today's battle.

He weighed a Pokeball in his hand and smiled. These people would soon realize that the Knowledge Ranking and the Trial Ranking were two different concepts.

"It's your turn, Azumarill!"

"Rill!"

Azumarill appeared.

Su Yi's gaze fixed on Azumarill.

[Pokémon]: Azumarill
[Qualification]: Green
[Level]: Lv.22
[Type]: Water, Fairy

"Ability": Guts

"Learned Skills": Tackle, Water Gun, Tail Whip, Water Sport, Bubble, Defense Curl, Rollout, Bubble Beam, Aqua Tail

Green Qualification?

But it made sense. It wasn't easy to encounter Blue Qualification Pokémon, and others didn't have Good Luck Cards.

Thinking this, Su Yi felt at ease.

The next moment, he sent out his pink and white Flaaffy.

The Flaaffy with its pink and white fur immediately drew everyone's attention.

It was a shiny Pokémon!

A hint of covetousness flashed in Ning Zhi's eyes. He felt a bit jealous of Su Yi, who had actually encountered a shiny Pokémon in the Spirit Primal Forest.

But so what if it was shiny? It still came down to strength!

"The battle will be three-on-three. The battle ends when all three Pokémon on one side lose their battle capability. Both sides may freely substitute Pokémon. Let the battle begin!"

Someone from the Pokémon Center acted as the referee.
