Chapter 11, the Exchange Tournament: Champion Seeds from Other Regions?!
The Sleeping Beauty saga has come to an end.
Li Luochen brought N back to Rongcheng University.
Night had fallen, but the lights were still on.
With less than a week left before the start of the semester, Rongcheng University welcomed many students majoring in Pokémon-related fields.
"Ah-ga-s~"
As soon as it landed, Guleton jumped out of the Poké Ball, its tongue lolling out, and it squatted on the ground as if cosplaying Arcanine.
"What's wrong?"
Li Luochen rubbed Guleton's head, following its gaze forward.
A young girl stood not far away, holding a piece of starch sausage that cost three yuan each or three pieces for ten yuan.
Li Luochen: ……
Alright, I know what Gulerton is up to without even looking.
"Go back to your dorm first, I'll go buy it for you later."
Li Luochen rubbed his forehead, realizing that Leton clearly wanted to eat starch sausage.
Even from such a distance, with his 5.0 vision, he didn't immediately notice the starch sausage in the girl's hand, and he had no idea how Gu Leton saw it.
"Ah-ga-s~" (Thanks, boss~)
Therefore, Leighton thanked Li Luochen, which caused the passing students of Rong University to whisper among themselves.
"How can someone make their own Pokémon kneel down?"
"This Pokémon looks really strange. I wonder what kind of Pokémon it is."
"Hey, isn't that Li Luochen? I watched his live stream this afternoon."
As soon as Li Luochen's name appeared, the whispers gradually grew louder.
Seeing this, Li Luochen quickened his pace and took N back to the dormitory.
only……
"Hello, may I ask you a question?"
The girl who had been targeted by Gu Leton for holding the starch sausage walked over.
She had long brown hair, tied in two buns on either side of her forehead, hanging down in pigtails.
She was pretty and charming, wearing a sun hat, sunglasses, and a mask, as if she was trying to hide something.
The girl was wearing a blue and white long-sleeved top with a Poké Ball pattern printed on the neckline, which made it stand out even more.
Her lower body was covered by a yellow culotte, with black pantyhose encasing her straight thighs, which made many people take a second look when they passed by.
"Is there something you need?"
Li Luochen felt that the girl looked familiar, but the cover on her face made it impossible for him to remember who she was.
"Could you take me to the Pokémon Center? I'd like to check in."
The girl clasped her hands together in front of her chest, looking pitiful.
She's been looking for the Pokémon Center for a long time, but she just can't find it.
This was her first time visiting the Donghuang region. She was unfamiliar with the place and the people, and she couldn't understand much of the local language.
"Go straight ahead and then turn left. At the second intersection after that, the place to check in is on your left."
Li Luochen waved his hand dismissively, briefly explaining the route before asking, "Did you understand?"
"Could...could you take me with you? I'm still a little unfamiliar with the way."
The girl genuinely didn't understand.
Li Luochen sighed and was about to open the navigation app to show her when he saw Gu Leton standing beside the girl, staring intently at her anatomy.
Noticing Gu Leton's gaze, the girl asked, "Do you want some?"
Therefore, Leighton nodded.
"Hey, I happen to have some extra, here, have a skewer!"
"Agas!"
Li Luochen: ◑.◑
Watching Gu Leton swallow the starch sausage in one gulp, Li Luochen knew that he had to lead the way now.
It's a way of returning a favor.
"Since it's on my way, I can show you both the way."
After saying that, Li Luochen walked ahead and led the way.
During the journey, the three remained silent and did not exchange more than a few words.
"Thank you! I'll treat you to a meal next time!"
Upon arriving at the Pokémon Center, the girl expressed her gratitude profusely. After exchanging contact information with Li Luochen, she immediately went to check in.
"He's also a very impatient person."
Li Luochen muttered a complaint and then headed straight for the dormitory building not far away.
Thanks to Ye Tian's "small act of whimsy in exercising power," Li Luochen ended up sharing a double room with N.
Of course, every student majoring in Pokémon-related fields lives in a double room.
It's just that after Ye Tian's actions, Li Luochen and N lived together so they could look after each other.
The two had little luggage and checked in directly after choosing their room.
"It's not curfew yet, do you want to go out for a walk?"
There was a garden right downstairs from the dormitory building, where some students from Rong University who had moved in early were chattering away, seemingly arguing about something.
This stirred up Li Luochen's gossip-loving spirit, making him eager to see what they were talking about.
"No need, I want to spend some time with my friend."
N was grooming Zoroark's fur, politely declining Li Luochen's offer.
"Alright, I'll go down and take a look first."
……
……
Downstairs in the dormitory building, a group of people were already playing together.
"If you ask me, I'll be the one to lead the charge in the exchange competition in a couple of days. And I'm not bragging, but I ranked 99th in the entire Fujian province in the college entrance exam!"
"With grades like yours, you could easily choose any top university, right? Why did you choose the cultivation program at Fuzhou University?"
"You don't understand, do you? Students in the combat major focus on battling, which is very expensive. But our training major is different. Not only can we become trainers, but after we've mastered our skills, more and more trainers will come to us. It's a virtuous cycle."
"Of course, the main reason is that I'm not used to the local environment and can't travel to other places."
The boy glanced around, and seeing no traitors, lowered his voice and said, "Getting back to the point, I feel our cultivation department has a very good chance of winning this exchange competition."
"Explain in detail."
Seeing this, the students from the cultivation department moved even closer, wanting to hear what the inside story was.
"As far as I know, the top scorer in the Fujian Province college entrance examination is also in our training department. If we can persuade him to participate in the exchange competition, I think victory is a sure thing."
"It's hard to say."
A sudden, abrupt sound rang out.
The boy frowned, about to question who was undermining morale, when he looked up and met the newcomer's gaze. His expression instantly turned obsequious: "Hey, Brother Chen, you're here! Do you remember me?"
"Who are you again?"
Li Luochen genuinely didn't remember such a person.
"Um...it's okay, I can help you remember."
The boy instantly switched to a battle-ready expression, shouting in a deep voice, "Li Luochen, today's battle is either you die or I live! Gyarados, let's show him our power!"
"Oh! I remember now, the Gyarados that my Charizard took down with one Thunder Punch, right? I know you, aren't you Liu Yan?"
"..."
Li Luochen's words silenced Liu Yangan.
You don't recognize me, but you remember me because you heard I use Pokémon, right?!
"I feel that Brother Luo Chen is right. Even with Brother Luo Chen, the top scorer in the college entrance examination, it seems that our cultivation department may not be able to beat the combat department."
A chubby boy wearing black-rimmed glasses squeezed in, holding a tablet computer with the school's online forum on the screen.
He clicked on a post, and the title was:
Shocking! Mingyi, the Unova region's young star and champion seed, is in the Battle Department of Rongcheng University!
