The Spirit Dimension: My Adventures with Groudon - Chapter 46

After that, Su Yi stopped challenging people of his own accord.

At least, everyone at Jingtian Academy knew who Su Yi was.

One interesting thing was that Yan Yuzhu and Qiao Yueyue had both come to see him quite often over the course of that month.

Su Yi didn't turn them away. After all, spending time with nice girls was quite enjoyable.

Su Yi: →_→

The Class Battle Competition arrived that afternoon in the blink of an eye.

Su Yi...

Still hadn't shown up!!!

After all, with his strength, there weren't many people who dared to challenge him.

Everyone knew their own limits.

Su Yi could just show up for the final match and challenge the winner.

The battle arena for Su Yi's class was already abuzz with discussion.

"Why hasn't Su Yi shown up yet? Could he be scared?"

"No way. Would our Great God Su Yi be afraid of Luo Jing? Didn't you see what they said to each other? Besides, Luo Jing's prepared 500,000 Gold Coins. Great God Su Yi's bound to show up."

"Whenever I hear that name, I get so damn jealous. I thought I'd be free once I got into Spirit University, but compared to Great God Su Yi, I'm just..."

"Bro, get over it. If you were as amazing as him, the academy would be your own backyard."

"..."

"Little Lion, use Headbutt!"

"Roar!"

On the battlefield, Luo Jing was directing his Little Lion in its match against the last opponent.

His opponent's Pokémon was a Water Type Dewott.

"Dewott, use Razor Shell!"

Dewott's Razor Shell collided with Little Lion's Headbutt!

Little Lion suddenly shoved Razor Shell aside with its Headbutt, then quickly retreated.

"Heh heh, you fell for it! Little Lion, Flamethrower!"

"Roar!"

A sly glint flashed in Little Lion's eyes. It opened its mouth and unleashed Flamethrower!

"Dewott, block it with Razor Shell!"

Dewott's trainer shouted an order in a panic, but Dewott still failed to withstand the Flamethrower.

Although it was a Water Type, the battles it had fought earlier had already worn it out.

Dewott went down.

Luo Jing had won!

The teacher in charge announced Luo Jing's victory.

"Roar!"

Suddenly, Little Lion's whole body shone brightly!

It was evolving!

It had just beaten Dewott, and now it was evolving right away. Luo Jing was overjoyed.

Little Lion was his Starter Pokémon. His father had gone to great lengths to obtain it from the Spirit Primal Forest.

After multiple assessments, it had ultimately been given a Purple Qualification!

Having a Starter Pokémon with a Purple Qualification was the biggest reason he dared challenge Su Yi!

And now, Little Lion was evolving!

Once Little Lion reached Lv. 35, it would evolve into the even stronger Fire Lion!

Wouldn't that make even Su Yi no match for him?

Heh!

Yan Yuzhu, I'll defeat Su Yi fair and square right in front of you!

"Roar!!!"

After evolving into Fire Lion, Little Lion's aura surged...

Luo Jing looked toward the teacher. Everyone else did, too.

The teacher in charge blinked, then shrugged. "Don't rush. We don't even know if Su Yi's coming. Class monitor, give him a call and ask."

The teacher looked at Yan Yuzhu.

That was right. Yan Yuzhu was the class monitor.

She nodded.

It wasn't that she hadn't wanted to call him earlier. It was just that, after spending a month around Su Yi, she knew he didn't much like being disturbed.

Given her personality, she wouldn't knowingly do something he disliked.

But there was no choice now. Su Yi still hadn't arrived.

If he didn't show up soon, Luo Jing would take first place.

She had just taken out her phone to call Su Yi when his voice rang out.

"Sorry, I'm late."

At the sound of his voice, the students instinctively parted to make way.

Su Yi walked over.

"I knew Great God Su Yi would come. There's no reason he'd be afraid of Luo Jing."

"This battle could be a real clash of titans. Luo Jing's genuinely strong, and his Little Lion just evolved, making it even stronger."

"You guys don't get it. The reason a great god is called a great god is that there's an unimaginable gulf between him and ordinary people! Luo Jing might be a genius, but geniuses are still within the bounds of ordinary people!"

"Bro, you and I think alike! Haha. I've never liked that Luo Jing. He's always throwing around the fact that his dad's an Elite Four member, and he's rude to his classmates. And he thinks he can chase after our class monitor? Get out of here! I hope Great God Su Yi crushes him!"

"..."

Of course, the people badmouthing Luo Jing only spoke quietly among their friends.

When the teacher saw Su Yi arrive, he breathed a sigh of relief. There was no helping it—Su Yi was a special case throughout Jingtian Academy.

"Su Yi, are you joining the Class Battle Competition?"

"Of course. Someone's here to hand over his money. Your name's Luo Jing, right? You've got enough Gold Coins, don't you?"

Su Yi nodded to the teacher, then looked toward Luo Jing.

"Heh. Don't worry about that. I'll even tell you this: I'm using this Fire Lion. I'll take you on no matter which Pokémon you use—even a Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon!"

Luo Jing tried to provoke him a little. He'd be happy if Su Yi actually used a Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon, because he knew Su Yi's Larvitar hadn't evolved even once.

"Combusken, it's your turn."

Combusken only needed one more level to evolve.

And Side Quest 2 only needed one last Spirit Battle victory to be completed.

At the same time, Side Quest 1 required him to have three second-stage evolved Pokémon. Counting Ampharos and Greninja, all that quest needed was for Combusken to evolve. Then he could complete both quests at once.

"Combusken!"

Frogadier had already evolved, so Combusken was starting to feel a little pressure too. Its qualification might not be as good as Greninja's, but it couldn't afford to fall too far behind!

"Okay, the final match of Freshman Class One's Class Battle Competition is about to begin! Luo Jing's Fire Lion will face Su Yi's Combusken. The winner will take first place in Freshman Class One's Class Battle Competition!"

As the teacher's announcement rang out, Luo Jing and Su Yi took their places at opposite ends of the arena.

In the middle stood Combusken and Fire Lion.

Combusken and Fire Lion were both Lv. 35, but Su Yi knew his Combusken's fundamentals were far better than his opponent's.

For one thing, Su Yi was sure that when it came to moves and training, no one in this world—not even an Elite Four member or Champion—could match him.

Compared to Luo Jing?

His Pokémon's meals alone outclassed yours!

"Su Yi, good luck."

By now, plenty of students from other classes had come to watch the battle outside Freshman Class One's arena.

Why?

Because of Su Yi!

The battle between the academy's two top scorers was a must-see.

And it wasn't just the students in Freshman Class One who knew Luo Jing. Of the ten freshman classes, quite a lot of students knew him.

Most people disliked Luo Jing, but some disliked Su Yi too, out of jealousy.

The spectators on either side of the arena were practically split into two camps.

One side supported Su Yi, the other Luo Jing.

Seventy percent of Su Yi's supporters were girls.

It couldn't be helped. Su Yi wasn't just good at Pokémon knowledge and Spirit Battles—he was also seriously good-looking!

So, naturally, the young ladies at Jingtian Academy liked him.

Su Yi: →_→

But liking him was one thing; they still knew their limits. Few dared to approach him or even strike up a conversation.

In the whole month, only Yan Yuzhu and Qiao Yueyue had gotten close to Su Yi.

Both were goddesses, with stunning looks and figures, and both were strong Trainers in their own right.

"Great God Su Yi, good luck!"

Qiao Yueyue had brought all three of her roommates to cheer Su Yi on. 21

This was the first time she'd openly supported Su Yi in public. After all, today's battle was special.

After spending a month around Su Yi, Qiao Yueyue felt he wasn't at all like the way other people described him. So this time, with her roommates by her side, she worked up the courage to cheer him on.

"Su Yi, good luck!"

Yan Yuzhu had noticed for a while that Su Yi and Qiao Yueyue seemed to get along well.

Yan Yuzhu wasn't the type to shout encouragement to someone in a situation like this, but when she heard Qiao Yueyue cheering, she somehow found herself cheering Su Yi on too.

"Yueyue, Yueyue, hurry up and cheer louder! Don't let Yan Yuzhu outshout you!"

"Yeah, Yueyue. Cheering for Great God Su Yi now will definitely make a better impression on him."

With her three roommates coaching her, Qiao Yueyue gathered her courage. She didn't let Yan Yuzhu's show of support intimidate her and cheered Su Yi on again.

Two goddess-level Trainers were competing to cheer Su Yi on, leaving the male Trainers stunned!

Su Yi: →_→

But when Luo Jing saw Yan Yuzhu cheering for Su Yi, along with another girl whose looks and figure were just as impressive as Yan Yuzhu's, he kept a straight face while silently cursing them both!
