Inherited Double-Edge? Who's the One with Cheats, Anyway?!

Lu Li had never expected Jin Huang's match to end with Double-Edge.

That was Double-Edge—an ultimate move with a power of 150 in the games!

After winning despite the type disadvantage, Jin Huang came over smugly and asked, "Well? Scared you, didn't I?"

Lu Li nodded. When he saw that tiny Aron use Double-Edge, he really had been startled.

Lu Li sincerely praised him. "Your Aron's aptitude is terrifyingly good."

Jin Huang's lips curved slightly as he gently stroked the red-and-white Poké Ball in his hand.

"I'll go get my baby treated first. Looking forward to your match." With that, Jin Huang hurried off toward the school's infirmary with the Poké Ball.

"That's insane! Double-Edge!"

"Exactly! An Aron in the Newborn stage using such an outrageous move—it's unbelievable!"

"I heard the Head Teacher is from a branch of the Jin Family. No wonder Jin Huang got an Aron with such an amazing Double-Edge aptitude."

Listening to the discussions around him, Lu Li could not help but sneer inwardly.

An Aron with Double-Edge could not be obtained through connections alone. Jin Huang's luck was simply absurd.

Lu Li was certain of one thing: the Jin Family definitely had not known that Jin Huang's Aron had inherited Double-Edge. Otherwise, how could that Aron possibly have ended up in Jin Huang's hands?

Watching the match from the Principal's Conference Room, Yu Zhonggang smiled. "Your school is quite interesting. I never expected to encounter such a pleasant surprise."

When he saw Jin Huang's Aron use Double-Edge, Yu Zhonggang was indeed tempted. He wanted to take Jin Huang on as a Gym Apprentice.

"That student named Jin Huang might even be somewhat related to me. On top of that, he has such an outstanding Aron, so it isn't impossible..."

With that thought, Yu Zhonggang decided to wait a little longer. If Jin Huang performed perfectly in the following matches, he would not mind taking him on as a Gym Apprentice.

In the second-floor corridor.

After seeing her son's Aron defeat its opponent with Double-Edge, Jin Cuilian cautiously glanced in the direction of the Principal's Office.

I wonder whether A Jin's performance has impressed that person.

Before long, it was Lu Li's turn again.

This time, his opponent was an Eevee trainer.

There was no troublesome type disadvantage, and Tropius had already entered the Growth stage, so Lu Li was not worried about losing.

"Lu Li, I've been looking forward to battling you for a long time," the Eevee trainer said excitedly.

Lu Li smiled and released Tropius.

"Hahaha... Then let's do this!"

After taking the field, Tropius first looked around before shooting Eevee a disdainful Leer.

0.3 meters? Even shorter than the last one. Looks like another little nobody.

"Tro~"

(You go first. If I make a move, you won't get a chance.)

Hearing such arrogant words, Eevee was angry, but it did not attack immediately. Instead, it waited for its trainer's command.

The Eevee trainer commanded, "Eevee, use Charm!"

Charm could lower an enemy's defenses and could even beguile them, causing them to let their guard down.

It was a Divine Skill for acting cute. In the Real World, though, this move was limited to Pokémon that were cute enough.

Charm used by Eevee and Charm used by Primeape were definitely not the same thing.

Tropius, who had looked down on Eevee before, suddenly realized that although this little runt was not very strong, it was cute.

Should I go easy on this little guy? Tropius could not help thinking.

Seeing this, Lu Li calmly said, "Leer! Then Razor Leaf."

Knowing that he held absolute authority in Tropius's heart, Lu Li was not worried that Tropius would disobey him because of the enemy's Charm.

The Eevee trainer immediately ordered, "Eevee, dodge! Then rush in and use Thrash!"

Since Tropius was not very proficient with Razor Leaf, Eevee nimbly dodged its attack and closed in right in front of Tropius.

Lu Li curled his lips into a smirk at the sight and teasingly commanded, "Tropius, let's fly!"

Since Eevee currently had no long-range attacks, Lu Li figured that a flying Tropius could keep Eevee helpless for a lifetime.

Looking at Tropius soaring into the air, the Eevee trainer's face darkened. He gritted his teeth and warned, "Don't get cocky. There are rules for battles. A flying Pokémon battling one that can't fly can't stay in the air for more than three minutes."

"We won't need three minutes." Lu Li then commanded, "Tropius, Sweet Scent, then go straight in with Headbutt!"

"How is that possible?!"

The Eevee trainer stared at Tropius in the sky in disbelief.

Pink fragrance instantly spread through the air. After inhaling it, Eevee began to stagger even as it walked.

Sweet Scent did not have a hypnotic effect, but it could cause hallucinations. Pokémon that inhaled it had their evasion chance reduced.

Taking advantage of this opportunity, Tropius in the sky directly used Headbutt.

In the Principal's Office, the principal looked at the battle on the monitor and said, "That's already three moves. It seems this Tropius's aptitude is unexpectedly good."

"Headbutt probably isn't an Egg Move, and Sweet Scent doesn't seem to be one either. In other words, under that child's training, Tropius learned two moves in less than a week. That isn't something a Junior Breeder should be capable of."

After voicing his guess, Yu Zhonggang sighed again. "The younger generation is truly formidable!"

Having already decided to increase the sponsorship once more, Yu Zhonggang had begun considering how much to raise it by.

Gym sponsorship differed from that of powerful families. Gym sponsorship was actually somewhat similar to League sponsorship.

That was because the vast majority of Gym sponsorship came from League funds. The role a Gym Leader played in this was more like that of a recommender.

A Gym Leader might consider a trainer outstanding and decide to recommend them to the League. The League would then determine the level of sponsorship based on the Gym Leader's evaluation.

At the same time, the Gym Leader might personally provide the trainer with additional funding.

After winning the match, Lu Li recalled Tropius and headed to the small grove on campus.

He scanned the surroundings with his divine sense. After confirming that no one was around, Lu Li handed yesterday's Grass-type Pill to Tropius.

Lu Li said, "Tropius, eat an Elixir and recover a little."

"Tro~ Tro."

(Can I eat half? One is really too much.)

"Don't worry. I'll help you," Lu Li reassured it.

Hearing that, Tropius reluctantly swallowed the Elixir in one gulp, while Lu Li took the opportunity to repeatedly cast Growth Spell on it.

Lu Li knew he would be at school all day. Any energy in his body that went unused would be wasted, so he might as well spend it all on Tropius.

After three Growth Spells, Tropius's frame had visibly grown another size. Someone might not notice it without looking closely.

But Lu Li was different.

With his cultivation at Qi Condensation Stage 1, Lu Li's eyes were practically measuring rulers, and he spotted Tropius's increased size at a glance.

"Tro~"

Tropius cried out excitedly.

Lu Li asked excitedly, "You mean you've comprehended a new move?"

Tropius nodded happily.

Lu Li asked expectantly, "What move is it? Hurry up and show me."
