Spirit Dimension: Tricking Groudon at the Start

"Combusken!"

Under Su Yi's command, and to everyone's shocked gaze, Combusken's Flame Vortex sprayed directly upwards.

The Flame Vortex descended, directly engulfing Combusken itself!

Combusken's entire body was surrounded by its own Flame Vortex!

The Aerial Ace slashed down, hitting the Flame Vortex directly and being incinerated by the scorching flames.

When the Aerial Ace ended, Combusken emerged from the Flame Vortex, its body shimmering with fire.

"Combusken!"

Combusken let out a loud cry. The opposing trainer jumped in surprise; the reputation of the "Dual Champions" was too great.

"Staraptor, use Aerial Ace!"

"Flamethrower!"

BOOM!!!

[Ding! Congratulations to the host, Combusken has successfully defeated Staraptor, gaining Battle Experience and leveling up to Lv. 33!]

[Ding! Congratulations to the host, Combusken performed exceptionally well, triggering a hidden reward: Skill Awakening Card: Whirlwind Blade!]

"Designate the target Pokémon Combusken to learn Whirlwind Blade!"

Combusken gained a long-range skill, Whirlwind Blade. Excellent.

In the previous battle, Combusken acted twice, so its Speed increased by two levels.

When the second challenger entered the arena, they discovered what a nightmare was!

As soon as the Pokémon appeared, before the trainer could even give an order, Combusken's Drain Punch rushed forward. Both the trainer and their Pokémon were startled! They were flustered and quickly crushed, becoming Battle Experience for Combusken.

The third challenger was even more terrified.

Before their Pokémon could even unleash a move, Combusken's attack had already hit it!

With its hidden Ability Speed Boost awakened, if Combusken isn't restricted from the start, defeating it becomes difficult. Once its Speed increases, any Pokémon battling it that doesn't react quickly enough simply won't be able to keep up with its rhythm and won't even know how they lost!

By the time all ten challengers had finished, Su Yi had also had his four Pokémon appear once each.

Among them, Frogadier, Ampharos, and Vibrava's Speed were clearly faster than before they had used the Speed Enhancement Potion.

At the same time, Vibrava's Attack power had also significantly increased.

However, it hadn't evolved yet, so the power of its Dragon-type was not yet apparent.

Su Yi looked forward to the day it evolved into Flygon.

"This guy really knows how to train and nurture Pokémon. It's no wonder they opened up the academy's secrets to him. The old man and my dad probably noticed that battle just now, right?"

Gu Yuanfang clicked his tongue in amazement. He admired Su Yi for achieving what he himself couldn't.

Gu Tianyuan and Gu Yu had naturally seen the battle as well.

Their satisfaction with Su Yi grew even greater.

Perhaps, this year's Spirit University exchange event would depend on Su Yi.

This welcome party also reached its climax after Su Yi defeated ten opponents.

The Battle Drop Function allowed Su Yi to gain another 300,000 Gold Coins for free, along with various high-level Potions.

Su Yi lingered there for a while. When he felt he had seen enough, he greeted Gu Yuanfang and returned to his dormitory.

"Come out, everyone."

Su Yi carefully inspected his dormitory, both inside and out. After confirming that the dormitory Gu Yuanfang had arranged for him had no safety hazards, he released his Pokémon.

Groudon also came out. This fellow had been cooped up in its Master Ball for so long, it was going stir-crazy.

Groudon no longer let its aura leak out.

"Mmm... Roar..."

Groudon let out a low roar at Su Yi, asking when it could find a powerful Pokémon to spar with.

Su Yi chuckled.

He looked at Groudon floating in the air. Ever since it gained the ability to float and fly, it had been eager to find an opponent to train with.

But finding a suitable opponent for it was not easy.

"Don't rush. Remember that Raikou? If we happen to meet it again, I'll let you try fighting it."

Raikou was, so far, the highest-level Pokémon Su Yi had seen besides Groudon.

"Mmm!"

Raikou? Groudon was clearly a little disappointed with the opponent Su Yi had suggested.

"Don't worry. Once I've sorted out my current affairs, I'll head into the middle or even inner layers of the Spirit Primal Forest. And..."

Su Yi suddenly thought of the Zhang Family.

"And maybe we won't have to wait that long."

His eyes flickered with an inexplicable light.

Perhaps he could ask Gu Yuanfang what the Zhang Family was most interested in.

Perhaps he could let you all taste the might of Groudon's Cliff Sword.

The Zhang Family had paid one million Gold Coins. Zhang Kuang's father, the head of the Zhang Family, had lost face. Su Yi didn't think the other party would just let it go.

"System, extract the Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon Egg!"

[Ding! Congratulations to the host, extraction successful. System products are guaranteed to be exquisite!]

In Su Yi's hand appeared the just-extracted Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon Egg and a Pokémon Egg from the Alliance Reward.

With a thought, the Pokémon Egg Hatching Accelerator appeared in the living room.

There were three incubation slots for the Pokémon Eggs.

Su Yi placed the Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon Egg from the Alliance Reward into one of the incubation slots.

[Ding! Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon Egg detected. Deduct 100,000 Gold Coins to replenish energy and accelerate Pseudo-Legendary incubation?]

"Confirm deduction."

Su Yi deducted 100,000 Gold Coins to replenish the energy for the Pokémon Egg Hatching Accelerator.

"Good thing the Gold Coins can directly replenish energy, otherwise it would be troublesome."

With the Gold Coins deducted, the Pokémon Egg Hatching Accelerator began incubation.

[Ding! Reminder to host, estimated incubation completion time is 24 hours!]

Excellent.

Su Yi then placed the second Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon Egg into the second incubation slot.

[Ding! Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon Egg detected. Deduct 150,000 Gold Coins to accelerate Pseudo-Legendary incubation?]

The system's Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon Egg required 150,000 Gold Coins for accelerated incubation, which was 50,000 more than the Alliance Reward.

Confirmed deduction. Both Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon Eggs would require 24 hours to incubate.

This had already saved a lot of time!

And it only required deducting Gold Coins.

The 300,000 Gold Coins from the Battle Drops of those ten challengers were used directly here.

"Tomorrow, Main Quest 2 will be completed. I wonder what new Main Quest will refresh when the first Pokémon team is ready."

Su Yi was full of anticipation. The Main Quests were not completed, and after completing 12 Side Quests, no new ones had refreshed. It was clear that the Side Quests were temporarily finished.

To continue receiving rewards from quests, he could only complete the Main Quest.

While the Pokémon Egg Hatching Accelerator was accelerating incubation here, Su Yi began training his other four Pokémon.

"Let's test my Strength."

My previous Strength was probably 300 jin. I reinforced my physique three times yesterday, let's see how my Strength is now.

The dormitory was more than just a dormitory; it was huge!

It had all sorts of fitness equipment for trainers!

Su Yi approached the Strength measuring instrument and punched it!

This device could withstand an attack of 2000 jin, or one ton of Strength.

"Bang!"

The heavy impact caused the instrument to emit a loud bang.

Fortunately, the room was soundproof, otherwise people living nearby would have heard the noise.

The numbers on the instrument flickered and finally stopped at [1500 jin].

Su Yi was immediately moved.

After all, the human body could not be compared to the physique of Pokémon.

His casual punch could possess 1500 jin of Strength. If he went all out, he estimated he could break 1000!

This was half a ton of Strength!

His body, after being tempered and strengthened, was truly different.

Next was Speed...

After a period of exertion, he was covered in sweat.

Frogadier, Combusken, Vibrava, and Ampharos were also training.

Only Groudon was floating in the air, fast asleep...

"Alright everyone, pack up and you can rest. I've prepared Energy Cubes in your favorite flavors over there to replenish your energy and stamina. That's all for today."

"Floga!"

"Chamo!"

"Ee..."

"Ooh..."

The four Pokémon panted slightly, looked at each other, then smiled and began to replenish their Energy Cubes.

Su Yi himself took a shower. After returning, he tidied up for the Pokémon, checked the Pokémon Egg Hatching Accelerator, saw it was in normal accelerated incubation, and went to sleep.

The next day was the start of the week-long military training for new students.

However, Su Yi didn't pay it much mind. He put the Pokémon Egg Hatching Accelerator into his Spatial Storage and decided to go directly find Gu Yuanfang to ask how Jingtian Academy determined the scores for the Pokémon Research Summary.

Su Yi was definitely the first in history to prepare to write out his Pokémon Research Summary on the very first day of school!

"Pfft!"

When he found Gu Yuanfang, Gu Yuanfang was drinking water.

"Are you kidding me, Su Yi? You're saying you can independently complete your Pokémon Research Summary without attending a single class at Jingtian Academy?"

Gu Yuanfang stared intently at Su Yi. Damn it, could this kid really be telling the truth?

Gu Yuanfang himself was the top scorer on the Knowledge Ranking for his year, so he knew very well what this meant.

This proved that Su Yi's independent learning of Pokémon Knowledge had already reached the requirements for graduating from Spirit University!
