Chapter 23 Rich man!
The next day, Sunday.
The Elite Cup competition continues.
After a day of competition yesterday, there are currently 500 contestants left.
Therefore, there are a lot fewer people on the scene today than yesterday, but the number of spectators coming to watch the game has not decreased at all. Instead, it is more than yesterday.
When Lin Rui arrived at the competition venue, Zheng Jianan and the other two had already arrived.
Since Sun Zhi was eliminated yesterday, he was particularly relaxed today.
"Ruizi, you may not know this, but you are now a celebrity in our school!"
As soon as they met, Sun Zhi started yelling at Lin Rui.
Before this, Lin Rui was just an ordinary and unknown student in school.
However, because he took Magikarp to and from school some time ago, he did gain some presence, but this presence was rather negative.
But after he defeated Wang Shaokun yesterday, his reputation took a 180-degree turn and he became the new celebrity of Jianghai No. 1 Middle School.
In response, Lin Rui just smiled faintly and didn't care at all.
He's just a school celebrity, nothing to be proud of.
Besides, it would be strange if he, who has the system, still couldn't become a celebrity in the school.
"It's almost time, let's go in first."
Then, a group of people arrived at the stadium.
Sun Zhi went to the audience alone to reserve a seat, while Lin Rui and the other two went to the player registration office to register.
Because there are only 500 participants left today, today's schedule will be tight.
According to the organizer's schedule, four rounds of preliminaries will be held today to determine the final 32 teams to enter the finals.
In other words, if Lin Rui wants to successfully advance to the finals, he has to participate in at least 4 rounds of competition today.
Of course, if you are lucky and get a bye, you will directly advance to the next round.
I just don't know if he will have this luck.
9 o'clock in the morning.
The second day of the Elite Cup competition officially begins.
After Lin Rui found his competition venue on the battle information form, he separated from the two sisters Zheng Jianan and Wang Shiyu.
Today, there are still 20 battle venues taking place simultaneously.
The third round of the qualifiers was completed in just one morning.
Lin Rui and Zheng Jianan advanced easily again, but Wang Shiyu encountered a more difficult opponent and was unfortunately eliminated.
At noon, I had a simple lunch and took a rest.
Then the fourth round of the qualifiers began.
"Please invite contestants No. 176 and No. 91 to enter the competition!"
In the afternoon match, Lin Rui was the first to play.
"Ruizi, come on!"
"Lin Rui, come on!"
With his companions cheering him on, Lin Rui quickly walked towards the battlefield.
"girl?"
When he arrived at the venue, Lin Rui looked at his opponent, who turned out to be a girl.
"Beauty, why don't you admit defeat? I'm afraid I'll beat you to tears later."
Seeing that the other person was a girl, Lin Rui kindly persuaded her to admit defeat.
[Ding! Negative emotions from Zhang Yueer, +99! ]
"It's you who should admit defeat!" Zhang Yue'er said with a frown.
Lin Rui shook his head helplessly. He had given his advice with good intentions, but unfortunately the other party did not appreciate it. So he could not blame him for not being gentle with women.
"Please send out your Pokémon!"
"Come out, Glaceon!"
After a flash of red light, Zhang Yue'er sent out her own Pokémon, Glaceon!
The moment he saw Glaceon, Lin Rui was stunned for a moment, and said helplessly: "There are so many rich people these days!"
Eevee has 8 evolved forms, and Glaceon is one of them.
There are two ways for Eevee to evolve into Glaceon. The first is to evolve after leveling up near a rock covered in ice.
The second method is simpler. You can directly use the Ice Stone on Eevee to evolve Eevee into Glaceon.
Jianghai City is a southern city with a pleasant climate.
Even in winter, it is rare to see ice, let alone rocks covered with ice.
So this Glaceon is most likely evolved through the Ice Stone.
The market price of an ice stone is at least seven figures, which shows that the other party's family background is not ordinary.
Then Lin Rui checked the information of this Ice Eevee.
【Glaceon】
[Level: Lv.23]
[Attribute: Ice]
[Features: Frozen Body (In hail weather, physical strength will slowly recover.)]
[Combat Power: Lord Level]
[Potential: Gym Master Level]
[Skills and moves: Act like a spoiled child, Collision, Slam, Self-sacrificing Charge, Wag the tail, Imitate, Bark, Desire, Help, High-speed Star, Baton, Throw sand, Lightning flash, Round pupils, Gravel, Bite, Frozen teeth, Frozen wind, Frozen beam, Hold on, Hail]
After seeing Ice Eevee's skill pool, Lin Rui couldn't help but sigh that the other party was really rich.
Not only does it have the most powerful ice-type move, the Ice Beam, but it also has the magical skill of guarding this.
The key point is that there are weather-related skills such as hail.
You should know that Glaceon cannot learn these skills and moves on his own and can only master them through the skill learning machine.
This is another huge sum of money!
No wonder the other party had the confidence to say that he was the one who admitted defeat.
But unfortunately, the other party met Lin Rui.
Lin Rui's Brachyuran is a fire and fighting type Pokémon, which can perfectly restrain ice type Pokémon.
"Come out, strong chicken!"
Lin Rui threw out the Poké Ball.
Seeing Lin Rui sending out the Strong Chicken, Zhang Yue'er frowned instantly, she knew that this game would be difficult.
In order to cope with the increasingly difficult competition, Lin Rui exchanged 5 magic candies for the Strong Chicken from the system mall after returning last night.
At this time, the level of Strong Chicken has reached 28, and it has learned the splitting and bodybuilding skills.
The only pity is that, apart from the long-range fire skill Spark, Strong Chicken does not master other long-range fire skills.
"It would be perfect if Strong Chicken could learn to spray fire or swirl fire, but with Strong Chicken's current strength, it shouldn't be a problem for him to win this match."
Seeing that both sides had sent out their Pokémon, the referee immediately announced: "The battle officially begins!"
"Glaceon, Hail!"
Just as Lin Rui guessed, at the beginning of the battle, Zhang Yue'er asked Glaceon to use the Hail skill to change the weather.
[Hail: Make hail fall from the sky for a period of time, causing damage to all Pokémon except Pokémon with ice attributes.]
The Hail skill, combined with Glaceon's hidden characteristic, Frozen Body, is really disgusting.
But Lin Rui had no choice, because the Strong Chicken didn't have any weather skills.
But Lin Rui would not sit still and wait for death. While Glaceon was casting Hail, Lin Rui also launched an attack.
"Strengthen the chicken, use the charged flame attack!"
"Qiamo!"
Fire energy surged from Brachydios' body, and the scorching flames enveloped its entire body as it quickly rushed towards Glaceon.
Zhang Yue'er narrowed her eyes and stared at Glaceon.
The order was not given until Glaceon finished casting Hail.
"Glaceon, use Freezing Wind!"
"Hi!"
Then, a ball of ice energy condensed from Glaceon's mouth and sprayed towards Charizard.
An extremely cold gust of wind blew towards the oncoming strong chicken.
"Strong Chicken, hold on!"
Ice Eevee's strength in the hail weather is even stronger than Lin Rui imagined.
But so what? Even with such unfavorable attributes, victory will only belong to him!
