Pokémon Farm

Chapter 35 Grade-Level Competition (9)

After Xuan Mingtian made his promise to the homeroom teacher, he continued to stroll leisurely.

The homeroom teacher had already returned to the commentary booth and said to the principal, "Principal, Xiao Tian said that Pang Ding is only going to help with the treatment, so there's no need to worry about it causing trouble."

"Well, that's good. As long as he's not here to sing and cause trouble, it's fine. What about Xiao Tian? What's going on with him?" the principal replied.

“Principal, I think the three of them did this premeditatedly, otherwise Xiaogang and Yang Bin wouldn’t have only been standing on the 3rd and 4th stage.” At this moment, the homeroom teacher also raised his doubts to the principal.

"Alright, we don't need to worry about them. As long as they don't cause trouble, that's fine," the principal replied.

While strolling around, I saw Yang Bin encounter his first challenger, Chen Qianqian from Class 4, whose Pokémon was Fennekin, one of the starter Pokémon from the Pentagram region (Kalos).

fire fox

Attribute: Fire

Feature: Fire

Qualification: Green

Skills: Claw, Tail Wag, Spark, Howl, Prayer, Charged Flame Strike

Review: This is a very hardworking fox (I know I'll give her a thumbs up when she takes out the Elder Wand).

Xuan Mingtian was speechless as he looked at the information displayed on the panel. What was wrong with his aunt's panel? It was becoming more and more human-like.

Xuan Mingtian's thinking was actually quite good; the control panel was indeed becoming more and more user-friendly. But that required a silly owner to make it work. The intelligence of the control panel could be considered a kind of subconsciousness of Xuan Mingtian himself, so whatever the system evaluation thought, that was exactly what Xuan Mingtian's consciousness thought.

Chen Qianqian was the first to give the command to her Pokémon: "Fox, use Howl after Ember."

"Little Charmander, dodge and then roar."

After some probing, neither side of the elves gained any advantage; even their howls and shouts canceled each other out.

"Fire Fox, use a tail wag after the spark."

"Little Fire Dragon, throw the dirt onto the sparks, then shroud the Fire Fox in smoke."

After the initial probing, it was time to get serious. Before the sparks even arrived, the little dragon's smoke began to spread in all directions.

With a crack, the mud collided with the spark of the fire fox, and the smoke thickened even more. Because the smoke began to envelop the fire fox, its tail could only wag at the air, perhaps trying to weaken the air's defenses.

"Charmander, now's the time! Charge in and use your Metal Claws!"

"Fire Fox, use your stored flame attack to be alert to your surroundings."

The close-quarters battle began at that moment. The metal claws attacked the fire fox surrounded by flames. With a bang, the two sides were locked in a stalemate, and time ticked by.

However, the students overestimated Yang Bin's actions, because at that moment, the little dragon raised the mud on its left hand, and then a fox's scream rang out instantly.

At this moment, Chen Qianqian stared blankly at the fire fox, which was constantly rubbing its eyes and had a paw print on its face.

Yang Bin looked at Chen Qianqian, who was in a daze, and said, "Hey, wake up! Do you still want to fight?"

Realizing what had happened, Chen Qianqian blushed and said, "Oh, I was just stunned for a moment. Sorry. Fire Fox, let's stop rubbing our eyes. Use Spark first, then Prayer."

"Little Charmander, don't give it another chance. Try the same method again."

The little fire dragon let out a loud cry and continued to rush towards the fire fox, its left hand gripping the soil and its right hand holding a metal claw.

"Fire Fox, hold on with your prayers, we'll take down the metal claws."

Just as Charmander, wielding its metal claws, stood a meter away from the Fire Fox, a sudden change occurred. An invisible beam of light shone down from the Fire Fox's head, indicating that the Prayer skill had been successfully activated.

With a bang, Charmander used his metal claws to knock the Fire Fox to the ground, but the Fire Fox rolled over during the landing and then turned around to stand up again on the field.

This is the effect of prayer; it can restore the spirit's stamina, but it only restores stamina, while also consuming most of the spirit's internal energy.

Yang Bin watched this scene and exclaimed, "Chen Qianqian, you're really great. You managed to carry that through, but the Fire Fox probably doesn't have much energy left."

"Hmph, none of your business. Fire Fox, let's use Spark to intercept the stored flame attack," Chen Qianqian said, her face slightly flushed.

"In that case, Charmander, let's not hold back anymore. One last blow, Flamethrower!"

Yes, you heard right. During the lunch break, Charmander was able to successfully use Flamethrower because he consumed the Fire Stone Powder as part of his daily routine, which strengthened the energy within him.

Little Fire Dragon

Attribute: Fire

Feature: Fire

Qualification: Green with a small bluish tinge

Skills: Flame Breath, Claw, Shout, Spark, Smoke, Will-o'-the-Wisp, Metal Claw, Dirt in Eyes

Evaluation: It will definitely be the strongest winged fire-breathing lizard in the future (if it can't become the strongest fire-breathing dragon even with the nourishment of life essence, then it should stop spreading dirt and go back to the earth).

Looking at the little dragon's current stats, he nodded to himself. This follower was a good acquisition; he could allocate more resources to nurture it in the future.

Battles can turn in the blink of an eye, but everything else is meaningless in the face of superior skills or strength.

Although Spark and the Flame Fox, engulfed in flames, charged straight at Charmander, Spark's skill shattered instantly under a Flame Shot, and it continued its trajectory towards the Flame Fox without slowing down.

Bang! The charged flame attack couldn't even withstand it for a second, and the entire fox was blasted backwards out of the arena. The sound of it hitting the ground outside the arena also struck Chen Qianqian's heart hard.

The flames dissipated, and the fire fox lay on the ground with swirling eyes. Fortunately, the little fire dragon wasn't very skilled yet; otherwise, if the power had been increased a bit, I believe the fire fox would have ended up in the infirmary for two or three days.

At this moment, the referee announced: "Yang Bin has successfully defended his title. He will continue to defend his title in 15 minutes."

Yang Bin approached Chen Qianqian and said, "Chen, you're great. Keep up the good work and I'm waiting for you to surpass me."

Chen Qianqian blushed slightly and said, "Thank you, Yang. I will definitely work harder. I'll take Fire Fox to get treatment now."

Yang Bin stopped Chen Qianqian and said, "Don't rush, bring the Fire Fox over and let my boss's Pokémon heal you."

Xuan Mingtian, who was eavesdropping on their conversation from a short distance away, thought to himself, "Has Binzi finally figured it out and started flirting with little girls?"

At this moment, Yang Bin had already brought Chen Qianqian to Dehua's side, who was lying down.

Yang Bin said, "Brother De, my battle is over, and I even defended the arena and helped heal the elf."

Upon hearing this, Dehua sprang to his feet and, with the expression of an old father seeing his strange son, patted Yang Bin on the shoulder.

"Fatty Ding": Very good, I'm very satisfied with your brother De. This little loli is also here for treatment, right?

"Yes, Brother De, I brought her here for treatment. I just wanted you to help me out," Yang Bin said with a fawning expression.

"Fatty Ding": No problem, would you like to ask her to be your girlfriend?

Upon hearing this, Yang Bin and Chen Qianqian blushed deeply, and Dehua's eyes kept darting back and forth between them.

"Brother De, we're entrusting our spirits to you."

Without further ado, Dehua cast a healing wave on both the little dragon and the fire fox. In less than a minute, the fire fox, which had been using sleep to heal itself, instantly woke up, a sign of complete recovery. At the same time, the fire fox also felt its energy filling up once again.

Chen Qianqian, standing to the side, was dumbfounded. This was even more amazing than the jellyfish in the infirmary!

If Little Cutie heard this, it would definitely scoff at it. Indeed, after all, Dehua and Little Tower were the two elves who had followed it the longest, and their life essence was the most concentrated besides its own.

At the same time, the healing skills they release are unmatched by ordinary Pokémon. Even the most adorable among them know that their healing skills are even stronger than some legendary Pokémon or mythical beasts.

At this moment, Chen Qianqian exclaimed, "Yang Bin, this Fatty's healing ability is amazing. If Fire Fox were treated in the infirmary, it might not even take 15 minutes to finish."

"Relax, Chen. Not only is Brother De's healing ability strong, but his strength is also very impressive. Let me tell you, if Brother De goes all out, my little fire dragon might not even be able to withstand one hit," Yang Bin said smugly.

"Fatty Ding": Of course! Otherwise you wouldn't call me Brother De!

Yes, after Yang Bin was brought back to the small courtyard, his companions all knew that Yang Bin was a follower, so they all showed their strength, which left Yang Bin completely stunned.

So after that incident, Yang Bin's status dropped again. Dehua called him Brother De, Xiaota called him Brother Ta, and so on. Although Dehua and the others liked being called "Brother," they still showed great respect for Yang Bin.

"Yang Bin, is this real? It's unbelievable!" Chen Qianqian said, recovering from the shock in her eyes.

Yang Bin said, "Of course it's true. You'll know as soon as Dehua releases even a little bit of his aura. Also, you can just call me Yang Bin from now on, or Brother Bin is fine too."

Upon hearing this, Chen Qianqian blushed deeply, fidgeting with her clothes and lowering her head as if she were sleeping.

At this moment, Chen Qianqian also whispered, "Brother Bin, you can just call me Qianqian from now on."

Yang Bin blushed and nodded after hearing this. Then he took out four chairs and some tree fruit snacks from his spatial backpack.

"Come on, Qianqian, let's sit down and rest for a bit, have some tree fruit snacks to replenish our energy. We still have more than ten minutes before we can continue defending our title."

As Dehua watched the two of them, his eyes rolled back repeatedly. He was already fed enough dog food by Da Congming, and now he had to add another one to the list.

Xuan Mingtian, who was strolling in the distance, was speechless as he watched this scene. It seemed that scattering dirt wasn't enough, so they turned to publicly displaying their affection. He wondered if he would get beaten up after the competition.
