There Were Gaps Even Between Gym Leader Levels!

The moment that thought arose, the gloom in Yan Shiming's heart vanished.

But vanished or not, the match still had to continue.

And this time, he no longer wore the playful expression of someone teaching a rookie. His face instantly tightened as he assumed a battle stance.

"Go, Floatzel!"

This time, Yan Shiming directly sent out his ace Pokémon, a level 57 late-stage Totem Level Pokémon.

Even if his opponent was the National Top Scholar, he was confident he could put up a fight...

Bang!!

"Floatzel is unable to battle! The winner of the second round is Beedrill!"

"Abba abba~~~"

Seeing his Floatzel, just like Seismitoad before it, fail to withstand even a single move, Yan Shiming's lips trembled as he made meaningless sounds.

Fine, I could accept an Elite Level Pokémon getting one-shot, but how did you one-shot a Totem Level Pokémon too?

Even if you're the top scholar, this is way too fucking ridiculous!!

Yan Shiming was utterly shaken.

It was not as though he had never seen the District Top Scholars of the Northeast Region before. They had been strong, certainly, but nowhere near this strong.

Or rather, this was no longer a matter of being strong or weak. This was simply impossible to fight!

Master, save me!!

With a tragic expression, Yan Shiming threw out his third Poké Ball.

Then, the same miserable scene played out once more.
