Chapter 18 Elite Cup, Opening!

The defensive skill is considered a magical skill among all the skills and moves of Pokémon.

Almost every top trainer will let his Pokémon learn the skill of guarding.

This is a life-saving skill. There are many precedents of resisting the opponent's fatal blow at the critical moment and turning defeat into victory.

Therefore, the price of skill learning machines in the market has always been high.

Lin Rui had seen a skill-keeping learning machine for sale at the Star Breeding House before, and the price he saw at that time was 10 million.

Now that he had obtained the defensive skill through a lottery, he had saved 10 million directly.

Not only that, through this lottery, he realized that the system lottery can produce a skill learning machine.

We have to hold on to it this time, but next time we may be able to come up with other skill learning machines.

Although the prices of various skill learning machines vary depending on their value, even the most useless flash machine costs hundreds of thousands.

Moreover, Lin Rui also discovered a way to get rich.

That is selling skill learning machines.

Skill Learning Machines are not like Pokémon Eggs and cannot be traded by individuals.

Like skill learning machines and secret treasures, individuals can trade them directly.

"Oh, what a pity."

"It would be great if there was an extra skill learning machine, so we could get out of poverty directly."

Lin Rui sighed, looking at the remaining 5,000 points of negative emotion value, he had an urge to withdraw all of them.

But in the end, Lin Rui still held back.

It was indeed fun to draw the lottery, but these 5,000 points of negative emotion are for emergencies.

If he encounters a tough opponent tomorrow, he will have to use these negative emotion points to upgrade the level of Strong Chicken.

……

the next day.

Lin Rui got up very early.

Today is the day when the Elite Cup starts.

Lin Rui was dressed neatly, and said to the two Poké Balls on the table: "Gyarados, Powerchicken, the competition is up to you."

Lin Zhiguo and Zhang Chunmei originally wanted to go to the scene to cheer for Lin Rui, but were rejected by Lin Rui.

After saying goodbye to the two elders, Lin Rui went out to the Battle Park in the city center.

This was the first time that Jianghai City held such a large-scale event, and it was well organized and successful.

Because the game was free to watch and it was a weekend, there were a lot of spectators at the scene.

Many small vendors took the opportunity to set up stalls nearby, selling snacks, drinks, and various Pokémon dolls and peripherals.

"So many people? It's more lively than Chinese New Year!"

As he walked along, Lin Rui looked at the scene around him that was comparable to the New Year's Eve, and he couldn't help but sigh that the Pokémon League in Jianghai City was still something.

If this Elite Cup Battle Tournament can become a success, it may become a business card for Jianghai City in the future, attracting more trainers from all over the country to participate. It can also boost Jianghai City's tourism industry.

"Lin Rui, you are here."

"Ruizi, you are finally here, go get your race number."

Following the signboards on site, Lin Rui came to the contestant registration office.

He happened to meet Zheng Jianan and Sun Zhi who had already received their competition numbers. At the same time, Lin Rui also discovered that there was a girl with a ponytail next to Zheng Jianan.

"Lin Rui, let me introduce you. This is my cousin Wang Shiyu."

"Hello."

"Hello."

Lin Rui greeted the other party, then turned around and queued up to get his competition number.

"Sister, is this the Lin Rui you mentioned? He looks just like that."

After Lin Rui left, Wang Shiyu leaned over and whispered in Lin Rui's ear.

"Hmph, what do you know? I just like him like this." Zheng Jianan retorted.

Not long after, Lin Rui came back.

Seeing Lin Rui coming back, Zheng Jianan stopped fighting with Wang Shiyu.

Afterwards, the four of them came to the battlefield together and watched their first round opponents.

"Oh my god, why are there so many people?"

Lin Rui was stunned when he saw the dense battle information on the large electronic screen at the scene.

There are at least more than a thousand people here, so we have to find a time to go.

"I found it. I'm in venue No. 3." Wang Shiyu was the first to find his own battle information.

Soon after, Zheng Jianan and Sun Zhi also found their own battle venues one after another.

At this moment, Lin Rui was the only one still looking for his own battle information.

"Ruizi, please look at the information screen of Battle Site No. 11."

"Your first round opponent is Wang Shaokun."

Suddenly, Sun Zhi pointed at the information screen of battlefield No. 11 and said.

For a moment, Lin Rui didn't know whether he was unlucky or Wang Shaokun was unlucky.

With Wang Shaokun's strength, although he cannot absolutely win the championship, he will definitely have no problem entering the finals.

But he happened to meet Lin Rui in the first round of the preliminaries.

This battle will be a fierce battle for both of them.

"I believe in Lin Rui, he will definitely be able to defeat Wang Shaokun." Zheng Jianan said.

"Ruizi, I believe you too." Sun Zhi patted Lin Rui on the shoulder and said.

"Don't worry, it's just Wang Shaokun, I don't take him seriously." Lin Rui said with a smile.

His goal is to become the champion, and sooner or later he will encounter a strong opponent.

Now we just encounter it in advance, the worst that can happen is that our cards are exposed.

In the face of absolute strength, what does it matter if the trump card is exposed?

At this moment, Lin Rui was full of confidence.

Gyarados has the top lord-level combat power, and he believes that he can fight no matter what kind of Pokémon he encounters.

"By the way, do you know that Wang Shaokun has other Pokémon besides Charmeleon?"

Lin Rui asked the three people.

As the saying goes, only by knowing yourself and your enemy can you win every battle. At present, Lin Rui only knows that Wang Shaokun has a little fire monkey, and he knows very little other information about Wang Shaokun.

"I heard that his little Fire Monkey has evolved into a fierce Fire Monkey." Sun Zhi said.

Hearing this, Lin Rui nodded and did not find it strange.

He and Zheng Jianan's starter Pokémon have all evolved. Wang Shaokun obtained Charmander earlier than both of them, so it is normal for it to evolve into Infernape.

"Anything else?" Lin Rui continued to ask.

"That's all I know, but wait a minute, I'll go find out."

Having said that, Sun Zhi turned and left.

Ten minutes later, Sun Zhi came back and brought back important information about Wang Shaokun.

"I found out that Wang Shaokun has two more Pokémon besides Infernape, namely Squirtle and Bimbisara."

"Three Gosanjia?"

Hearing this, everyone was shocked and exclaimed.

"This Wang Shaokun is really rich. He actually owns three of the Royal Three." Lin Rui said enviously.

These three royal families are worth at least tens of millions. What kind of family must be so wealthy?

[Ding! Negative emotions from Zheng Jianan, +200! ]

[Ding! Negative emotions from Sun Zhi, +150! ]

Originally, Zheng Jianan and Sun Zhi were very confident in Lin Rui, but after learning that Wang Shaokun actually owned three of the Imperial Three Houses, they couldn't help but worry about him.

Seeing the two frowning, Lin Rui smiled and said, "The game hasn't even started yet, how do you know I'm going to lose?"

"That's right, the game hasn't even started yet, you will definitely win." Zheng Jianan encouraged with his fists clenched.
