Chapter 31 Grade-Level Competition (5)

The two people who came to greet Yang Bin were also looking at Binzi with blank expressions. What was going on? Had someone set their sights on Binzi?

"Binzi, congratulations on winning the competition. You've also managed to win the heart of a little girl. Your brother Tian hereby calls you the strongest dirt man." Xuan Mingtian said to Yang Bin with the expression of an old father.

Xiao Gang chimed in, "That's right, Binzi, you're really something. First it was Lin En'er from Class 2, and now it's Liang Xiu'er from Class 3. You've really come a long way. I have to call you the strongest steel man, you're even straighter than Yu Hong Building."

"Hey, Tian-ge and Gang-ge, don't laugh at me! I just had a sudden urge to let the little fire dragon scatter dirt, and the effect is actually great!" Yang Bin replied innocently.

Perhaps because Yang Bin earned the title of "Strongest Soil-Sprinkling Man," he gained countless fans from that day forward. His fans even created a guild for him called the "Soil-Sprinkling Guild." This guild would later become famous among elementary school students, and even Xiao Zhi during his school days was not spared.

The homeroom teacher, who was far away on the commentary platform, said to the principal, "Principal, is it really okay for Yang Bin to scatter dirt like that? If all the students learn this, then a lot of people will be cursing during future Pokémon battles."

The principal said seriously, "Teacher Chen, you're worrying too much. I actually think this is a good thing. Don't you think Yang Bin's approach is more suitable for Pokémon battles? This is an effective use of the field. I'd also like to give him a certificate, called Indigo Academy's First Scattering Bin. How about that? Isn't the name awesome?"

The homeroom teacher looked at the principal helplessly and said, "Principal, I think you should just watch the competition. Don't overthink it, because the more you think about it, the more distorted it becomes. But your suggestion is not bad. This title is impressive enough, and I believe Yang Bin will like it very much."

Xuan Mingtian said, "Binzi, your victory this time certainly had an element of luck, but you should know that Liang's Warm Pig doesn't have any powerful skills, which is why you were able to win so easily. If the difference in strength between the two sides were not that great, it would have been a fierce battle."

“Xiao Tian is right, Binzi. Actually, the little dragon didn’t need to get bitten on the hand just now. The best way for you to test someone is to attack from a distance. Besides, we have Xiao Tian’s resources, so we don’t lack energy.” Xiao Gang chimed in at the same time.

"Brother Tian and Brother Gang, I understand. I will work hard to train Little Fire Dragon."

Yang Bin knew that the two men meant well for him, and that he certainly didn't lack resources by following the boss; what he lacked was time.

"Xiao Gang, it's your turn. Remember what we said before: when you encounter a fast opponent, change the terrain." Xuan Mingtian reminded Xiao Gang as he went up for the round.

After seeing that both sides had arrived, the referee said, "Both sides prepare, the battle begins."

This match is between Xiao Gang and Wang Zong from Class 3, along with his Water-type Pokémon Totodile. These are the starter Pokémon from the Johto region, which is next to Kanto.

When talking about the Johto region, people can't help but marvel at how peculiar it is. Although it has its own Gym Leaders, the Johto region is connected to the Kanto region, so the Pokémon League in the Johto region is shared with the Kanto region, and the Elite Four and the Champion are also shared.

This is what makes people from other regions find it most bizarre. Although they have legendary Pokémon like Ho-Oh, Lugia, Celebi, and the Latias and Latias siblings, it's all for naught.

The Johto people wanted to mess with Ho-Oh and Lugia, but ended up driving the two gods away. The three messengers ignored them. The Latias were a little better off, but Celebi was in a worse situation. It had been on the mind of the little cutie for a long time, and even when it was sleeping, the little cutie wanted to catch it and beat it up. But Celebi was too shameless and would run off to play at other times.

What's most absurd is that the Johto region is going to share the Elite Four and Champion with the Kanto region. This makes the Elite Four and Champions of the Hoenn, Sinnoh, and Unova regions laugh their heads off. I wonder if Professor Oak gave up his Champion title because of this.

Back on the battlefield, Xuan Mingtian would not miss the opportunity to scan the sprites either.

Little Saw Crocodile

Attribute: Water

Ability: Torrent

Qualification: Green

Skills: Grab, Glare, Water Gun, Rage, Bite, Water Jet

Comment: This is a decent little crocodile. Keep up the good work, little crocodile. (I heard dried crocodile jerky can stop asthma.)

Xuan Mingtian looked at the panel and felt helpless. Did this panel want to eat something?

"Little Sawtooth, let's go! Use your eyes to catch the water gun."

"Hmph, that's hilarious. Don't bother with Geodude, he's just playing in the mud."

The little tortoise was staring wide-eyed, looking absolutely outrageous. It didn't have the fierce look a crocodile should have; instead, it looked adorably silly, which made the spectators gasp in shock.

When the little tortoise realized that its glaring skill was useless, it became enraged and quickly spat out a jet of water as thick as a cup from its mouth.

Meanwhile, our little Geodude's mud-playing skill had already been successfully activated, which created a mud pit within a 5-meter radius around it.

Just as the Totodile fired its water gun at it, Geodude, despite its slow speed, had already made a dodge move, causing its water gun attack to miss completely.

"Little Sawtooth, let's spray water from the water gun and then spray water."

It seems Wang Zong is aiming for a attrition-based strategy.

"Geosphere, dodge the water gun and then use Wide Guard."

At the last second, Geodude dodged most of the water gun damage, but his head was still grazed.

With a loud bang, the small saw-toothed crocodile, surrounded by water, crashed into the wide-area defense, creating a tremendous noise.

Before Xiao Gang could even give the command, the little saw-toothed crocodile had already put all four feet on the ground and was rapidly retreating. After seeing this, Xiao Gang realized that the other party was indeed quite skilled.

This was also thanks to Wang Zong watching Xiao Gang's match during this period, and knowing that Xiao Gang would take advantage of this gap to launch an attack, so Wang Zong directly ordered Little Saw Crocodile to retreat quickly.

When Xiao Gang realized this situation, he didn't rush to attack, because he was least worried about a war of attrition.

"Geosphere, since he wants to wear us down, let's use Round Form."

"Little Sawtooth, don't let it use its skill. Use water gun to interrupt them."

*Splish splash* That's the sound of the water gun skill hitting the Geodude after it had just turned into a round shape. Because it had just successfully turned into a round shape, the damage was not significant.

"Little Sawtooth, use the water jet combo to catch me."

Everyone was taken aback when they heard the command, but Xuan Mingtian was very clear about this combination skill. It was that when the water flowed around the little saw-toothed tortoise, its claws, protected by Normal-type energy, would also light up at the same time.

Seeing this, I have to give Wang Zong and Little Saw Crocodile a thumbs up, because activating the skill requires a high degree of control over energy, no wonder the data panel's evaluation makes it continue to work hard.

"Hmph, I'm not afraid even if it has combo skills. Geodude, use Roll away from it."

Xiao Gang's method is indeed brilliant, because Geodude's movement speed is really slow, so the only way to dodge is to use skills to move quickly.

Ten seconds later, both stopped moving after the chase, because Totodile couldn't catch Geodude, and Geodude didn't turn around to attack it, thus beginning a tug-of-war.

"Xiao Gang, if you're so capable, then stop Little Stone from running away!" Wang Zong's exasperated voice rang out.

"Tch, if you're so capable, then don't chase after me. If you can't catch me, you're just a little idiot." And Xiao Gang's words were quite infuriating.

Actually, it's not entirely that Totodile couldn't catch Geodude. Don't forget Geodude's Mud Play move at the beginning. Any Pokémon with legs will have its movement speed affected when walking on it, let alone Totodile's short legs.

Seeing the little saw-toothed crocodile panting heavily, Wang Zong had no choice but to use his persuasive skills to provoke Xiao Gang, hoping to get him to launch an attack.

Xiao Gang also observed this, so he wasn't in a hurry, because in terms of consuming energy, Totodile was no match for his Geodude.

"Wang Zong, why don't you just admit defeat? I think your little saw-tortoise is already very tired. There's nothing shameful about admitting defeat, especially since we're classmates."

At this moment, Wang Zong was furious at Xiao Gang's grinning face and shouted, "Hey, Xiao Gang, you bastard, there's absolutely no way you'll make me admit defeat!"

Then Wang Zong said to the referee, "Referee, I concede."

After Wang Zong finished speaking, the entire arena fell silent. The audience and Xuan Mingtian couldn't help but curse inwardly, "Where did your passionate courage go? Where did your confident tone go? Did the little saw-tooth eat you?"

At this moment, the referee turned to look at Wang Zong, his meaning quite clear: he was asking him if he had really made this decision.

After seeing Wang Zong nod firmly, the referee announced, "Xiao Gang from Class 1 wins this match."

After the match, Wang Zong strode up to Xiao Gang and said, "Xiao Gang, let me tell you, I only conceded this match because Little Saw Crocodile was too tired, not because I couldn't beat you. After my Little Saw Crocodile has trained for a while, I'll challenge you to a one-on-one match again."

"You really are a folding person! Okay, I'll wait for you. You'd better train harder on your own," Xiao Gang replied.

After welcoming Xiao Gang back, Xuan Mingtian said, "Xiao Gang, your behavior is really too amazing. The audience here has been blown away by your actions. I have to call you the strongest rolling Gang."

"Aha, that's why I don't want to go head-to-head with him. If I exchange skills with him, my little Geodude will be at a disadvantage, and I can't do anything about it."

Looking at Xiao Gang's lewd smile, I was speechless. After all, no one wants to encounter such a cowardly opponent.

At this moment, Yang Bin said to Xiao Gang, "Brother Gang, although your behavior is even more despicable than mine, I also approve of this tactic. You didn't see the honeyed looks on the faces of those students who wanted to become trainers. If you had raised your arms and shouted, I believe many people would have become your fans."

“That’s right, and look at the way those little girls look at you. I’m sure you’ll be loved by everyone in the future, Xiao Gang,” Xuan Mingtian chimed in.
