It was night.
Inside a meeting room at Shuimu University.
Everyone looked toward the short-haired young man at the head of the table. "Captain, what's the plan for tomorrow?"
Zhou Juefeng interlaced his fingers and closed his eyes in thought.
After a moment, he slowly opened them and looked around the room.
"I'll go first tomorrow!"
"Captain?"
The others froze.
It wasn't that they doubted Zhou Juefeng's strength. Mu Yun's performances had simply been too frightening.
Every match had looked like a Little Cup battle. Wiping out an entire team by himself seemed as easy as drinking water.
Wouldn't it be safer to send the five of them in first to wear down his Pokémon?
Seeing the confusion in their eyes, Zhou Juefeng raised a hand to quiet them.
"You've watched his matches these past few days. Every one of Mu Yun's Pokémon has tremendous stamina. Trying to wear them down won't work. It might even make them stronger as the battle goes on."
As he spoke, Zhou Juefeng laid photos of Golisopod and Pidgeot on the table.
The others fell silent.
They had been too optimistic.
Given the stamina that Pidgeot had shown, even if there were five more of them, they would probably go down for nothing.
"Come on, lift your spirits!"
Seeing how disheartened they were, Zhou Juefeng slowly stood. "Tomorrow is only one match. You're all among Shuimu University's finest, and you have long careers ahead of you. Why dwell on one win or loss?"
"Besides, we might still win!"
As he said that, a faint, illusory spark flashed in Zhou Juefeng's dark eyes.
Bathed in its light, everyone felt boundless conviction surge within them.
"I believe in you, Captain!"
"That's right! We're Shuimu University, the top university in Yanhuang. We can win!"
"We'll win!!"
