Pre-exam preparations

After all, every bit of extra strength improved his chances. Being strong himself was what really mattered.

"Have you looked into the schools competing this time?" Zhang Cheng suddenly asked as they trained.

Ye Tian loved digging up gossip about these things, so Zhang Cheng wanted to see if he could get some information from him.

"I was just planning to tell you in a bit. I looked into the Trainers at the other high schools in Jiangcheng this afternoon," Ye Tian said smugly.

"As far as I know, Jiangcheng City has four high schools in total, right? Aside from ours, there's Jiangcheng No. 2 High School, Experimental High School, and Scholar Academy," Zhang Cheng said, drawing on what he knew.

"That's right. All four schools will be competing this time. Our main rivals are No. 2 High School and Experimental High School. As for Scholar Academy, to put it bluntly, they're just there to make up the numbers. They come in last every year."

"I heard Jiang Tao, the son of Jiangcheng City's mayor, Jiang Wenyuan, attends Experimental High School. His dad pulled out all the stops to get him a Dragon-type Pokémon. He's a strong contender for the championship this time."

Ye Tian certainly knew his stuff when it came to gossip like this, rattling off a whole string of details.

"Getting a Dragon-type Pokémon is no easy feat. That mayor must have paid quite a price," Zhang Cheng said thoughtfully.

"I don't know about that. Either way, this guy's a tough opponent."

"Did you find out which Dragon-type Pokémon Jiang Tao got?"
