Spirit Dimension: Tricking Groudon at the Start

Acrobatics, a Flying-type move, uses acrobatic-like skills to cleverly attack the opponent.

"Combusken, use Double Team!"

"Chamo!"

Double Team was used before Acrobatics arrived, creating over a dozen shadowy Combusken. However, they were affected by the Sandstorm and dissipated directly. Still, this allowed Combusken to dodge Gliscor's Acrobatics.

[Ding! Congratulations to the host, Combusken performed excellently and activated a hidden reward: Skill Awakening Card: Slash!]

"Learn it!"

Combusken instantly learned the Slash attack.

"Combusken, use Slash!"

Having Accelerated three times, Combusken charged forward rapidly. Gliscor tried to flap its wings again to fly into the sky, but it was too late!

Combusken's claws fiercely slashed into Gliscor's back, smashing it to the ground.

"One more time, Slash!"

"Gah..."

Gliscor, defeated!

[Ding! Congratulations to the host, Combusken successfully defeated Gliscor, gaining Battle Experience and leveling up to Lv. 36!]

Won.

Relatively easily.

Actual Spirit Battles, compared to the game, require consideration of the Pokémon's actual condition in addition to tactics.

"Congratulations, Su Yi, you have passed the assessment. You can directly collect your Advanced Trainer identification badge from the person in charge of you."

Su Yi's face also showed a knowing smile.

Advanced Trainer. The next step up is Elite Trainer, and the step after that is the more difficult Heavenly King Trainer.

Elite is relatively easy, but Heavenly King is also somewhat challenging.

This is because you need to win a 6v6 battle against the assessor.

This requires having at least 6 Pokémon at Lv. 50 or above.

After following the young lady from before to collect his Advanced Trainer identification badge, Su Yi left the Shangjing City Pokémon League.

Next, it was time to prepare for the Zhang Family's affairs.

Su Yi had his own methods.

The Zhang Family, wanting to continue their tenure in the lucrative middle area of the Spirit Primal Forest, had previously lost 1 million Gold Coins to him. Therefore, they would definitely need to grease some palms now.

Greasing palms undoubtedly meant building connections at the International Pokémon League headquarters.

What was the most precious thing?

Undoubtedly, precious Pokémon.

Su Yi went and bought a mask.

He also bought a voice changer.

Then, wearing this mask and changing his clothes, he put on another mask.

After confirming he was inconspicuous, Su Yi found out about a restaurant that Zhang Mu frequented.

The restaurant was not large, but the food was excellent. Even as the current head of the Zhang Family, Zhang Mu often ate at this place.

Most importantly, this restaurant had a habit that others didn't.

The owner liked to broadcast news about the Spirit Primal Forest on the restaurant's television.

Today, Zhang Mu was dining at this restaurant as usual with several members of the Zhang Family.

Accompanying them was Zhang Mu's son, Zhang Kuang.

"Dad, why don't we find other Noble Families to cooperate with? We can't just give up this lucrative opportunity. If our Zhang Family can hold on for another three years, with my talent and the potential of my Pokémon, I'll already be an Elite Trainer. If we spare no expense, even challenging for Heavenly King wouldn't be impossible."

Zhang Mu and his group always ate in a private room.

This time was no exception.

Zhang Kuang's expression was somewhat dejected. He knew that the entrance to the middle area of the Spirit Primal Forest, this lucrative opportunity, absolutely could not be relinquished.

The Zhang Family had already made preparations to deal with the current situation.

However, Zhang Kuang's draw against Su Yi, which he thought was a sure win and an opportunity to gain a Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon Egg for free, had unexpectedly resulted in a loss.

"Hmph, if you hadn't lost 1 million Gold Coins, we wouldn't be in such a passive position now. We've borrowed everything we can. The remaining Noble Families know our situation and are avoiding us like the plague. And the Shangguan Family is causing trouble; they've always coveted this opportunity. That old fox Shangguan Hong!"

Zhang Mu reprimanded Zhang Kuang heavily.

"Dad, you can't blame me for this. I performed normally. If Su Yi hadn't appeared out of nowhere, I would have been the top ranker on the Trial Ranking."

"Yes, Family Head, you can't blame the Young Master. It's mainly that Su Yi who scammed us out of 1 million Gold Coins. We absolutely cannot let this go."

"That's right, Family Head. I believe that after our Zhang Family gets through this difficult time, Su Yi must be dealt with."

The other two members of the Zhang family also spoke.

Zhang Mu nodded.

"Well, of course. If the Shangguan family targets us, so be it. But for some brat who hasn't even grown his fur, does he think he's worthy of opposing my Zhang family?"

Zhang Mu had already thought of a plan to deal with Su Yi.

"Besides, he has a Heavenly King Trainer sister. This Su Xiyan can be used. Zhang Kuang, try to get in touch with her in the future."

"Mhm, Dad..."

Zhang Kuang nodded, wanting to say something more, but Zhang Mu suddenly raised his hand, stopping him.

His gaze was fixed on the television on the wall.

It was a live news broadcast from a small television station.

"Recently, Trainers have reported hearing dragon-like roars and feeling the ground shake in the outer areas approaching the mid-level region of the Spirit Primal Forest. What's going on? Let's interview the eyewitnesses."

The reporter held out a microphone, and the screen shifted to a tall, thin middle-aged man.

The live camera focused on the middle-aged man.

The microphone was also handed to him.

"It was like this, I came in this time to catch a cute-type Pokémon for my daughter. When I reached..."

The middle-aged man spoke vividly, describing the roar very realistically. Finally, he even offered his own deduction, saying that the figure was very likely a Garchomp, and that the Garchomp might be laying an egg and was very agitated!

If it weren't for the large river separating the mid-level and outer regions, it might have even charged over!

Later, the middle-aged man left in a hurry, fearing that the commotion would attract more powerful Pokémon.

"Alright, thank you for the information, Trainer. At the same time, the reporter here reminds everyone that caring for your beloved daughter is normal, but when entering the Spirit Primal Forest to catch wild Pokémon, you must pay attention to your safety..."

Those in the private room no longer paid attention to what was being said afterward.

A Pseudo-Legendary Garchomp?

Laying an egg?

Whether the story was true or not remained to be determined, but this piece of news was definitely something the Zhang family had to verify!

If it was true, and their Zhang family could capture a Pseudo-Legendary Garchomp, and even obtain a Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon Egg, then that position would be absolutely secure!

"Let's go, we're going back immediately to investigate the truth of this matter. If it's truly a mature Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon, and you all can't handle it, I'll go myself. Zhang Kuang, send a message to your grandfather. Several of his Pokémon have already stepped half into the Champion level. Ask for his opinion, I'll head there first."

Zhang Mu made a decisive move!

This matter involved a mature Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon, and there was no room for error.

The truth of the matter required them to go to the scene and see if there were any traces of Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon activity!

If it was true, and while the Pokémon League hadn't confirmed the truth of this matter, the Zhang family could directly seize this Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon and its egg!

The thought of potentially having two Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon made Zhang Mu's heart burn with excitement.

It was the Zhang family's fortune to rise and prosper. With two Pseudo-Legendaries, the Shangguan family would be left in the dust.

However, because the Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon Egg had previously caused Zhang Kuang to lose 1 million Gold Coins, Zhang Mu was still skeptical.

Was that man so lucky to see a mid-level region Pokémon in the outer region, and it just happened to be a Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon?

And this Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon just happened to be laying an egg?

Everything seemed too coincidental.

Zhang Mu didn't suspect anyone was targeting the Zhang family from above.

The Zhang family was one of the most powerful Noble Families in Shangjing City.

The previous family head was a powerful Trainer who possessed several Pokémon that had half stepped into the Champion level!

Zhang Zhen!

While Zhang Mu led the other members of the Zhang family to their destination, Zhang Kuang hurried home alone.

On the way, he had already sent a message to his grandfather, Zhang Zhen, explaining the situation.

Then, he rushed home without stopping.

As soon as he arrived home!

Zhang Kuang eagerly found Zhang Zhen, who was in seclusion training.

"Grandpa, Dad has already set off. He asked me to call you. This opportunity is rare. I believe that as long as the news is correct, our Zhang family will achieve a qualitative leap!"

Zhang Kuang was very excited.

Everything now depended on verifying the authenticity of the news.

"Mhm, I already know about it. This matter is definitely not as simple as it appears on the surface!"

Zhang Zhen's eyes, though seemingly a bit cloudy, were sharp and full of spirit.

He had lived for most of his life, and he had experienced more than Zhang Mu and Zhang Kuang had eaten salt.

So many coincidences happening together, do you believe it?

This is definitely someone targeting the Zhang Family!

Hearing his grandfather's analysis, Zhang Kuang was stunned.

"Then... Grandfather, it's better to believe it than not. It wouldn't hurt for us to go take a look. Besides, with you here in the Zhang Family, who would dare to scheme against us? And if it is a scheme, my father might be in danger, so we should definitely go."

Zhang Kuang lacked his usual composure at this moment.

"Mm, you're right. We must go. You see, I already have four old friends who have broken through to the Champion level. I was originally planning to wait until all six of us old friends broke through before coming out of seclusion. Now, let me see who is so bold as to target my Zhang Family!"

Zhang Zhen's imposing aura surged!

"That's great, Grandfather! No matter what kind of demons or monsters the other party is, we don't need to be afraid!"

The stronger the Zhang Family became, the more powerful he would be in the future. Zhang Kuang was ecstatic.

Little did he know, today would be the happiest day of his life, and also the last...

Meanwhile, Su Yi had already arrived at the location ahead of time.

His special student ID allowed him direct access to the middle layer.

This was one of the reasons Jingtian Academy had given Su Yi a special student ID.

Jingtian Academy had specially applied for a quota for Su Yi, which was included in the special student ID.

It allowed him to move freely within the outer and middle layers of the Spirit Primal Forest.
