Since Larvitar was still young, Frogadier and Combusken were the leaders of the team, naturally taking good care of Larvitar and Beldum.
It was the little one's first battle, and both Frogadier and Combusken were a bit worried.
Already eager to battle, coupled with Frogadier and Combusken's cheers, and thinking of Su Yi who took care of it, Larvitar wanted to win this battle!
"Go, use Rock Throw!"
Rock Throw condensed and surged towards Servine.
Seeing that Servine could still stand after being boosted by Growth and hit by Vine Whip, Qiao Yueyue was not surprised at all. If it were any other Pokémon with a four times type disadvantage, it would have already fallen.
"Larvitar is Su Yi's pseudo-legendary Pokémon. Although it's still a young one, we can't be careless."
Qiao Yueyue was also among the top two hundred in the overall rankings, so her judgment was naturally sharp.
"Servine, use Grasstornado!"
"Teng Teng!"
Servine nodded vigorously, channeling the Grass Type energy within it madly.
Around Servine, countless tiny, blade-like energy leaves swirled.
Grasstornado: Attacks the opponent with sharp leaves, sometimes lowering accuracy.
However, this time, Larvitar initiated Rock Throw first.
One Rock Throw after another was hurled at Servine.
Seeing this, Qiao Yueyue reluctantly instructed Servine to launch the not-yet-fully-formed Grasstornado to attack the Rock Throws.
There was no choice. The opponent was a young pseudo-legendary Pokémon, Larvitar, and she didn't dare let her Servine be hit by its Rock Throws.
Pseudo-legendaries were called pseudo-legendaries for a reason; they always had one exceptionally powerful ability.
Larvitar had very high physical attack.
Rock Throws and Grasstornado clashed fiercely. Rocks were cut by leaves, but the leaves also dissipated.
Taking advantage of the opening, Su Yi snapped his fingers.
"Larvitar, try Rock Slide again!"
"Yō jī..."
Larvitar condensed rock energy once more. This time, it channeled all the rock energy within its body, gathering it frantically. Above Larvitar, a much larger rock than the previous Rock Throws condensed!
Rock Slide successfully formed again and thundered down towards Servine!
"Servine, dodge quickly!"
Qiao Yueyue instinctively commanded, but it was too late.
The rock of Rock Slide was also massive. Servine's two small legs leaped with all their might, but it still couldn't escape the move.
Its small body was directly hit by the large rock of Rock Slide.
After hitting its target, Rock Slide exploded under Larvitar's Dragon Claw, dealing secondary damage to Servine.
"Teng teng..."
Servine fainted.
Qiao Yueyue's face contorted in a grimace, but inwardly, she felt a little admiration for Su Yi.
... ... ...
As expected of a great master. Her Servine was the Pokémon she had put the most effort into nurturing.
She hadn't expected that her evolved Servine would be no match for the opponent's unevolved young Pokémon.
[Ding! Congratulations to the host. Larvitar performed exceptionally well, triggering a hidden reward: Skill Awakening Card: Slash!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host. Larvitar successfully defeated Servine, gaining a large amount of Battle Experience, and leveled up to Lv. 13!]
[Ding! Congratulations to the host. Side Quest 2 completed (7/10). Keep up the good work!]
System notifications sounded in his mind.
Battling opponents of a higher level yielded a massive amount of Battle Experience.
However, since Larvitar was a young pseudo-legendary, it only leveled up twice.
"Classmate Su Yi, everyone says you're a great master, and you truly are! So amazing!"
Qiao Yueyue recalled her Servine.
She walked over actively, looking at Su Yi with a hint of admiration and said.
"Your Servine is also very good. Your battle techniques are decent, but you could try having it practice Leaf Storm, a powerful Grass Type move, in advance. It has already learned Grasstornado, and the principle behind Leaf Storm is quite similar to Grasstornado. You can give it a try."
Su Yi was crouching down, praising Larvitar. Seeing Qiao Yueyue approach, he casually offered his advice.
He had already integrated his understanding of skills in the game into the real Pokémon world. Then, by observing the Pokémon as they used their skills, he discovered that many skills indeed had commonalities.
Qiao Yueyue nodded thoughtfully.
"Thank you, great master. Everyone says you seem unapproachable, but it seems that's not the case at all, hehe!"
Qiao Yueyue stuck out her little tongue and said mischievously.
Su Yi smiled. He wasn't very inclined to engage with those who actively challenged him unless there were benefits, as it would be a waste of time.
Unless they were strong.
Or, unless Su Yi happened to have such a need, like battling with Qiao Yueyue.
It just so happened that he needed to find a Pokémon for Larvitar that was under level 20.
After adding each other on WeChat, Su Yi also recalled his Pokémon.
He was quite satisfied with Larvitar's first battle. Although it was injured, it was its first match after all.
After a big meal at the cafeteria, he took Larvitar to the academy's Pokemon Infirmary for a check-up. There were no problems.
This kind of life continued for another ten days or so, and finally, the Class Battle Competition was about to begin! Nine.
For the freshmen who had just enrolled a month ago, today was a special day.
Because today was the Class Battle Competition, where freshmen would train for a month.
It was limited to freshmen only.
That is, the first-year students at Jingtian Academy.
Each class had about a hundred students.
There were a total of ten classes.
Although the classes were quite large, it didn't affect the lessons.
Due to the different Pokémon types, students also had choices for their teachers.
The week was divided into three time slots.
Except for Su Yi, every student had filled out an intention form at the beginning.
That is, among the eighteen known types, they chose three types to specialize in.
First-years were limited to three.
Second-years could add three more specialized types after receiving recognition from teachers in their first-year courses.
So, with a hundred students and three time slots per week, there were only twenty to thirty people in each time slot.
Today, Su Yi slept until he woke up naturally.
He released everyone and prepared their Pokémon food.
Currently, the Pokémon Su Yi possessed, along with their qualifications and levels, were as follows:
There were three with Silver Qualification.
Lv.38 Greninja, Lv. Vibrava, Lv.18 Beldum.
Among them, Greninja and Vibrava were originally Purple Qualification, but they became Silver Qualification after using a Qualification 777 Promotion Card.
Beldum was a high-quality pseudo-legendary rewarded by the System, hatching with Silver Qualification.
Greninja evolved mid-way because Su Yi had found a teacher with a very interesting battle style at the time.
Coincidentally, that teacher had also captured a new Pokémon of similar level to Frogadier. After winning the battle, Frogadier evolved, and it was only one level away from evolving anyway.
Combusken was still Lv.35, Larvitar was Lv.18. Due to its qualification, it wasn't improving as quickly as Beldum, but it had always been the one fighting alongside Beldum.
The other Pokémon's levels were too high and were only suitable as sparring partners.
Purple Qualification Lv.35 Combusken, Lv.33 Ampharos, and Lv.18 Larvitar.
Su Yi used the Eye of Investigation on Larvitar and Beldum, and nodded with satisfaction.
In a month's time, the foundation for these two should be completely laid.
They should have also perfectly absorbed the Spirit Foundation Potion.
He could now use those two Attack Enhancement Potions.
"Larvitar, Beldum, drink these two potions. You'll become stronger after drinking them."
Su Yi handed one Attack Enhancement Potion to Larvitar and Beldum respectively.
Larvitar and Beldum drank the potions without hesitation.
The power within their bodies instantly began to change.
"Yoki!"
Larvitar and Beldum were about to rush towards Su Yi.
"No!"
Su Yi quickly stopped them.
"I've told you many times, don't do this anymore. Your strength and weight are increasing, and while one of you is okay, the two of you together are becoming hard for me to handle. Be good."
Su Yi bent down and petted Larvitar and Beldum.
Larvitar and Beldum knew this was the truth and couldn't help it.
Larvitar has now learned several new skills: Tackle, Screech, Hone Claws, Dig, Rock Throw, Rock Slide, Slash, Bite, and Sandstorm.
This Beldum broke through its own limitations. Silver Qualification isn't just for show; its skills aren't limited to just Headbutt anymore.
Through Su Yi's research and Beldum's own dedicated efforts, in addition to Headbutt, Beldum has also learned Iron Defense and Iron Head. Furthermore, Su Yi has recently been trying to find ways to help Beldum activate its internal psychic powers and learn psychic-type skills.
However, it hasn't been successful so far...
Su Yi also ate breakfast. This past month has cost him approximately 1.3 million Gold Coins!
Of that, the daily meals for the six Pokémon alone amounted to 300,000 Gold Coins.
The remaining 1 million Gold Coins were mostly used to nurture the two little ones.
The other Pokémon didn't cost as much.
Raising pseudo-legendaries is too expensive.
Training consumes a lot of energy.
Of course, if it were normal Pokémon training, it certainly wouldn't require so many Gold Coins.
Su Yi calculated based on top-tier training standards.
Side Quest 2 is only one victory away from completion.
It's not that Su Yi doesn't want to complete it, but rather that after a month, there are very few people who actively challenge him anymore.
When he challenges others, sometimes they refuse.
