The amusement park had security guards, and when Jiang Chen hit Lin Yuefeng, the security team naturally came over.
"Young Master."
The security captain had intended to sternly deal with the person who caused a commotion in the amusement park, but unexpectedly, it turned out to be their Young Master.
"You know me?" Jiang Chen looked at the security captain in surprise.
"Yes, yes, I was transferred here from the Jiang Group's company headquarters. I've had the good fortune to meet Young Master a few times."
"Oh."
Jiang Chen nodded, then said, "I know you're here to ask about the assault. That guy harassed us. Throw him out and ban him from our amusement park in the future."
"Understood, Young Master."
The security captain, of course, knew what to do.
Leading a few people, he walked towards Lin Yuefeng. Lin Yuefeng, who had just gotten up from the ground, was immediately grabbed by several security guards and dragged away on the spot.
"What are you doing? Do you know who I am? My grandfather is the Champion of Xia Kingdom!" Lin Yuefeng shouted, feeling wronged, as he was dragged away.
"Don't even mention your grandfather being a Champion. Even if your grandfather were here, if he offended our Young Master, we'd still invite him out. Behave yourself, don't make us get rough."
The security guards were completely unapologetic, directly dragging Lin Yuefeng out and throwing him away.
"Won't being so overbearing affect this amusement park? After all, that guy's identity isn't simple." Xiao Luoxue glanced at Lin Yuefeng, then looked at Jiang Chen.
"It's fine, won't have any impact."
They played in the amusement park all day, and besides the incident with Lin Yuefeng, they had a pretty good time. However, for Ling Wanqiu, it would have been even better without Xiao Luoxue.
In the evening, Jiang Chen first sent Ling Wanqiu home, then returned home with Xiao Luoxue.
"Young Master, Dragonair seems to be on the verge of a breakthrough in strength." As soon as they returned, Ning Ya said to Jiang Chen.
"Dragonair?" Xiao Luoxue looked at Jiang Chen in question.
"My dad's Dragonair."
Jiang Chen explained to Xiao Luoxue, then asked, "Sister Ning Ya, where is Dragonair now?"
"It went to the seaside. I've already reported to Master Jiang Yuan."
Originally, Jiang Chen had wanted to call his dad, but hearing Ning Ya say she had already reported it, he didn't bother.
"Let's go to the seaside and see. You might be lucky enough to witness a Pseudo-Legendary breaking through to Champion rank with your own eyes."
Jiang Chen's expression showed a hint of excitement.
His excitement wasn't from seeing the scene itself, but mainly because he was about to receive a million points.
Actually, Dragonair's breakthrough speed was a bit slower than Jiang Chen had anticipated, or perhaps his previous estimate was off, and he had underestimated the difficulty of breaking through to Champion rank.
Even with the Dragon Plate, it wasn't that easy to break through.
He had Gardevoir take them to the seaside, then Jiang Chen released Beedrill.
"Let's hide a bit further away. A Pokémon breaking through to Champion rank will cause a lot of commotion."
Jiang Chen took Ning Ya and Xiao Luoxue a bit further away.
Xiao Luoxue watched intently, extremely curious about the breakthrough scene.
This was a Pokémon of Pseudo-Legendary strength breaking through to Champion rank. How many people could be fortunate enough to witness this?
"Boom boom boom!!!"
A storm seemed to brew in the sky. The distant Dragonair emanated an extremely oppressive aura.
This aura made people feel a suppression of their bloodline, awe-inspiring and immensely powerful, its shockwaves spreading in all directions.
"Beedrill, hold it back." Jiang Chen shouted to Beedrill.
Beedrill, relying on its own strength, resisted all of Dragonair's aura.
"This Beedrill?"
Xiao Luoxue looked in shock at the unassuming yet immensely powerful Beedrill before her.
A Beedrill, able to withstand such a soul-shaking force? That was truly too terrifying.
"A Champion-rank Beedrill."
"Talk, Dragonair flew away."
Before she could even be shocked that this Beedrill had Champion-rank strength, Dragonair suddenly flew up into the sky, its figure vanishing in a blink of an eye.
"It probably sensed my dad's aura." Jiang Chen guessed, looking at the flying Dragonair.
His guess was indeed correct. Not long after, Dragonair flew back, accompanied by Dragonite, and Jiang Yuan stood atop Dragonite.
"Let's go over."
Jiang Chen had already received the one million points, indicating that Dragonair had successfully broken through to Champion rank.
Now Jiang Chen had over 2.3 million points, but he wasn't planning to use them. He would save these points, slowly accumulating them to purchase a Legendary Pokémon.
Although he didn't know when he would accumulate enough, Jiang Chen knew that if he didn't accumulate them, he would never be able to purchase a Legendary Pokémon.
"Hmph~!"
Dragonair let out a happy low growl. Its gaze shifted to Jiang Chen, revealing a hint of softness in its eyes.
Having followed Jiang Chen for so long, Dragonair had a good attitude towards Jiang Chen. It also knew that its increase in strength was partly due to Jiang Chen's items.
[Dragonair]
Gender: Male
Strength: Champion Tier 1
Talent Potential: Champion
Type: Dragon, Flying
Ability: Intimidate
Moves: Dragon Tail, Dragon Breath, Dragon Rush, Dragon Rage, Hyper Beam, Giga Impact, Double-Edge, Draco Meteor...
While stroking Dragonair's head, Jiang Chen scanned Dragonair's attributes.
"I didn't expect to still be taking advantage of my own son."
This time, Jiang Chen had truly helped him greatly. Without Jiang Chen, Jiang Yuan wouldn't know when Dragonair would break through to Champion rank.
To reach Champion rank, in addition to one's own efforts, a catalyst and a bit of luck were needed. Otherwise, one could be stuck for a lifetime.
"When will Flygon be able to break through?" Jiang Yuan asked Jiang Chen.
If Flygon could also break through, then among all the Champions, he would be considered relatively strong. After Flygon evolved, he would have five Champion-level Pokémon.
"I don't know that either."
Jiang Chen spread his hands, but he was sure it would break through to Champion rank within this year.
"I'm not in a hurry either, I'll just wait patiently."
Jiang Yuan wasn't too anxious, because he also understood that this kind of thing couldn't be rushed. He had already experienced that agonizing feeling when Dragonite hadn't broken through to Champion rank yet.
Champion Pokémon were not so easily born. Jiang Chen being able to make Alakazam, Dragonair, and Slowbro break through to Champion rank was a miracle.
As for how Jiang Chen made them break through, Jiang Yuan didn't ask further.
"Luoxue is getting prettier and prettier. You two should talk more." Jiang Yuan glanced at Xiao Luoxue, then said meaningfully.
"Hello, Uncle Jiang."
Xiao Luoxue was still a bit reserved when facing Jiang Yuan.
"I've been quite busy lately. Your mom entrusted all the matters to me, so I've been a bit preoccupied. I won't stay long at home."
Jiang Yuan recalled Dragonair into its Poké Ball.
"Then will you be attending the New Trainer Tournament, Dad?" Jiang Chen asked.
"Yes, I will attend, but only after the finals."
The New Trainer Tournament was still highly regarded. It represented the next generation of trainers, and this time, the New Trainer Tournament was being held in Tianhai City.
As a Pseudo-Legendary from Tianhai City, it would be inappropriate for him not to attend.
"Can Uncle Jiang challenge for Champion rank now?" Xiao Luoxue asked Jiang Chen.
"That's right, he's already preparing for it."
Jiang Chen nodded.
"Is that Beedrill yours?"
Xiao Luoxue pointed at the Beedrill.
"Yes, this Beedrill is my partner."
Jiang Chen had Beedrill fly over.
Looking at the Beedrill flying beside Jiang Chen, Xiao Luoxue's face showed disbelief. Jiang Chen owned a Champion-rank Beedrill?
This was a Champion-rank Pokémon.
Seeing Xiao Luoxue's wide eyes, Jiang Chen humbly said, "I was lucky enough to catch it."
"Why don't I have such luck? You're humble-bragging, aren't you?"
"If you compete later and bring out Beedrill, how will anyone else fight?"
Xiao Luoxue said, speechless.
Although this New Trainer Tournament still had various restrictions, other tournaments didn't have any restrictions.
For example, the Youth Dragon Cup, the National Pokémon Tournament, these tournaments had no restrictions whatsoever. As long as it was your Pokémon, it could participate.
"Sometimes, participating in a competition isn't about crushing people, but about self-improvement. So I won't just casually bring out Beedrill to crush others. Is there any pleasure in crushing others?"
"Isn't there any pleasure in crushing others?" Xiao Luoxue countered Jiang Chen.
"Anyway, I don't like being crushed."
Thinking about being crushed herself, Xiao Luoxue still felt a bit uncomfortable. The battle with Jiang Chen yesterday was truly a crushing defeat.
"Actually, I prefer evenly matched battles, but because I'm too strong, I keep crushing my opponents. Sigh, it's all my fault for being too strong."
Jiang Chen sighed to the sky, looking dejected.
"Do you know what I want to do most right now?"
Xiao Luoxue glared at Jiang Chen, gritting her teeth.
"What do you want to do?" Jiang Chen asked Xiao Luoxue with a question in his eyes.
"The thing I want to do most right now is beat you to death."
Saying that, Xiao Luoxue threw a punch at Jiang Chen. Jiang Chen stepped back two paces, perfectly dodging Xiao Luoxue's punch. Xiao Luoxue, still angry, continued to pursue Jiang Chen.
"Jealousy, this is jealousy."
"Jealousy my foot! You dare to act smug in front of me, go to hell."
Xiao Luoxue actually chased Jiang Chen for several kilometers, finally getting so tired she couldn't straighten her back.
It was too infuriating, the more she thought about it, the angrier she got. Was what Jiang Chen just said even human language?
If it were anyone else, upon hearing Jiang Chen's words, they would probably have been unable to resist hitting him.
"I think you should exercise more. You've only run for so long, and your body is already weak."
"Jiang Chen, I just realized today, you are truly infuriating."
Xiao Luoxue wished she could bite Jiang Chen to death. She straightened her back and chased after Jiang Chen again.
Seeing that Xiao Luoxue wouldn't give up, Jiang Chen let up a little, allowing Xiao Luoxue to get a bit of an advantage, which finally made her feel better.
"Can you get off me now?" Jiang Chen asked Xiao Luoxue.
At this moment, Xiao Luoxue realized that her posture with Jiang Chen was a bit ambiguous; she was actually straddling him.
She gave a light hmph, then her face turned crimson as she got off Jiang Chen, and then dashed away in a flash.
The next day, it was the start of the New Trainer Tournament.
The Tianhai Pokémon Arena, the New Trainer Tournament was being held here.
Jiang Chen, along with the others from Tianhai Pokémon Academy, arrived at the tournament venue.
"This competition can barely be called a 'tournament'."
The previous campus ranking matches and friendly exchange matches were just child's play.
"Only one Pokémon can be used in the knockout rounds, so everyone should bring out their strongest Pokémon. Don't get eliminated in the knockout rounds."
Old Zhang reminded Jiang Chen and the others.
The more a knockout round uses only one Pokémon, the more likely it is for upsets to occur.
Some people want to hide their strength, not wanting to expose their true power and have their information collected by opponents. They hide and hide, and then they get eliminated.
"Jiang Chen, Ling Wanqiu, while you pass the knockout rounds, remember to hide some of your trump cards as well." Old Zhang specifically instructed the two of them.
They were different from the others. Others might stumble if they didn't bring out their strongest Pokémon, but Jiang Chen and Ling Wanqiu were different. They definitely wouldn't stumble in the knockout rounds. Since they wouldn't stumble, they should appropriately hide some things.
"Understood."
Jiang Chen made an OK gesture. In reality, it didn't matter if he hid anything or not. If he casually brought out any Pokémon, there would be very few people who could defeat him.
The number of participants was not small. Although each city only had ten contestants, Xia Kingdom had many cities, so the number of participants reached over five thousand.
The more participants, the more intense the knockout rounds would be, because most people had to be eliminated.
After the knockout rounds, the top 128 would be determined.
In other words, out of these five thousand-plus people, only one hundred and twenty-eight would remain after the knockout rounds.
Upon hearing the number of eliminations, the pressure immediately set in.
"Oh no, I feel like I'm going to start trembling again." Wang Xin made a bitter face.
"It's not that bad, really. It's just that only the strong ones remain, and that's not a problem. Come on, you can do it, believe in yourself."
Ling Wanqiu comforted Wang Xin.
"Wasn't your previous goal to reach the top eight? Don't tell me you're scared off by this elimination rate now."
"Right, I want to reach the top eight. I can't be scared off like this."
Wang Xin exhaled heavily. In reality, many people felt pressure. Those who truly felt no pressure were either genuine powerhouses with real strength, or those who simply planned to give up.
Before the New Trainer Tournament began, the principals of major famous schools all gave speeches, and the top leader of Tianhai City also attended.
It wasn't until the afternoon that the knockout rounds began.
Opponents were drawn randomly, so sometimes luck played a part.
Jiang Chen, this 'big alligator', didn't need to worry about his drawn opponent. No matter who he faced, Jiang Chen wouldn't lose.
In the afternoon, Jiang Chen had two battles in total, winning both directly. He sent out Nidoqueen, who crushed everything, winning both battles without using more than three moves.
After the first day of knockout rounds, nearly a thousand people were eliminated, and some of the remaining ones also lost one 'life'.
The knockout rounds had one revival chance. One would only be completely eliminated after being defeated twice consecutively.
"Phew, I didn't expect the opponents to be so weak. I worried for nothing."
Wang Xin also won both her matches, immediately gaining confidence. At least for the first few rounds of the knockout stage, she wouldn't lose unless she was too unlucky.
