[Battle Dome]
Crispin, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of Blueberry Academy, was conducting special training with his followers, while he stood next to a tent, skillfully cooking various dishes.
The followers were training with their Fire-type Pokémon while discussing Flint, who appeared yesterday.
Although Flint got intercepted by Glastrier, and his Rapidash was swept away by Duraludon's Draco Meteor, none of that affected how cool they thought Flint was.
Can something a Fire-type trainer does be called ugly?
Obviously that's called hot-blooded.
Thinking that Flint would have a performance match with Raihan in a few days, everyone's tone was full of excitement.
"Elite Four Flint will definitely suppress Raihan!"
"That's right, we fire types are invincible, what's a dragon type even?"
"Exactly, type advantage is something only cowards pay attention to!"
Looking at his companions, Crispin felt full of strength in the hand holding the ladle.
'Training together, eating together, admiring Flint together.'
'This is what you call comrades.'
"Brothers, train hard. Today, to celebrate seeing Flint yesterday, we're eating something good."
"And in the next few days, everyone participate in the ranked matches more, and try to let Flint see our style."
A chorus of agreement rang out from the crowd.
Crispin smiled and continued dealing with the big pot in front of him.
Just when the food was about to be ready, a message suddenly came from his phone.
After glancing at it, Crispin's mood instantly surged and he threw down the cooking utensils.
"Brothers! Flint sent me a message!"
"He said he'll personally guide the students participating in ranked matches today, let's go."
After saying that, Crispin summoned Arcanine and charged toward the entrance of the Battle Dome.
The other students' eyes lit up as well, and they all summoned their mount Pokémon and followed behind Crispin.
The group raced past, and although the Battle Dome was very large, someone still noticed their unusual behavior.
"Eh, isn't that Crispin and his group?"
"At this time they should be training in the Battle Dome, why are they running out?"
Someone slapped his forehead and immediately associated the situation with Flint.
"Yesterday Flint came to the school, and Crispin's group were the ones greeting him."
"There must be some benefit, quick, follow!"
One passed it to ten, ten passed it to a hundred.
Within half an hour, the news that Flint would guide students' training spread throughout the entire Blueberry Academy.
Dorms, cafeteria, classroom buildings, Battle Dome.
People everywhere released their mount Pokémon and madly rushed toward the square at the entrance.

Flint went out very early today, and when he reached the plaza, only Carmine was there.
Seeing Flint appear, Carmine subconsciously took a step back, her foxy eyes full of fear.
"E-E-Elite Four Flint, what are you doing here?"
"This is the students' arena. Elite Fours aren't allowed to fight here."
"If you're lost, I can get someone to take you to the performance match arena, okay?"
Flint waved his hand, "Relax, I'm not battling."
"Phew~", Carmine let out a long breath and lightly patted her chest.
'No matter what, as long as Flint isn't competing, it's fine.'
Yesterday, when Flint's Rapidash fought Duraludon, she almost got crushed to death.
But Flint's next words made Carmine tense up again.
"I brought Axel's Pokémon to battle. Can you help me register?"
The relieved expression on Carmine's face instantly vanished, and she looked at Flint in disbelief.
'Are you confused!'
'It is one thing if Axel's Pokémon battled by themselves, but how can you battle in their place?'
'You'll get your title revoked for that!'
But very soon, Carmine thought of something even more terrifying.
'This guy is an Elite Four… no one at Blueberry Academy would dare revoke his title…'
"Mr. Flint, are you sure you want to register on behalf of Student Axel?"
"If that's the case… there's a high chance no one will join the ranked match and you'll be waiting here all day."
Flint lightly shook his head, "It's fine. The principal already said that Axel's ranked matches don't need others' consent, he can challenge freely."
"Then...", Carmine weakly nodded, still trying to remind him, "I can register for you, but if no one else comes, there's nothing you can do, right?"
"Don't worry, they're already here," After he said that, Flint turned his head and looked toward the entrance of the plaza.
From that direction, a figure riding an Arcanine appeared.
Behind him, countless students gathered into a torrent and were crazily pouring into the plaza.
"Elite Four Flint, please guide me!"
"Flint! I'm your Fighting-type fan, I love your Annihilape so much!"
"Shut up, fake fan! Flint raises an Infernape!"
———
In their crazed shouts, the entire battle plaza was instantly packed with people.
Except for Crispin, who didn't have the qualification to challenge, almost everyone was crazily waving their arms.
"Flint! Choose me, my Pokémon is also Infernape."
"Carmine-senpai, please arrange me! I'll wash your socks for three months!"
"Move! Trying to eat and take advantage? I can wash socks even without being arranged!"
Pushed by the crowd, Crispin relied on Arcanine's strength advantage to squeeze in front of Carmine and successfully wrote down the names of a few of his companions.
Carmine quickly raised her hand to signal everyone to calm down and displayed powerful crowd-control skills.
"I get it, everyone is here for Elite Four Flint."
"The first ten slots are already filled, the others don't rush. Open the school forum, I'll post a mini-program for a lottery."
"The order doesn't decide whether you can challenge, luck still matters most."
"Devin, Marina, Meteria… you ten go first to line up on the arena to battle Elite Four Flint."
Under Carmine's crowd-control, the scene quickly calmed down and everyone opened the forum.
Marina stepped out from behind Crispin and stood on the other side of the arena.
Her face was red as she excitedly looked at Flint, "Elite Four Flint, my ace is Charizard. May I ask which Pokémon you will use to guide me?"
Flint pondered for a moment, recalling Axel's arrangement, "How about Nihilego?"
Crispin: "???"
