The curtain closed on this incident. Imperial Capital Spirit Academy was forced to issue a public apology to Tianhai Spirit Academy, and only then did they take back Zhao Xiao, who had been detained there. Because of this incident, the animosity between the students of Tianhai Spirit Academy and Imperial Capital Spirit Academy grew even more intense.
"I feel immense pressure now." The usually lively Wang Xin no longer wore her customary smile. Mo Yangjia and Qian Le also had bitter expressions. If they lost the exchange match a week later, they would probably be drowned in the spit of their own schoolmates.
"Don't think too much. Do you not have confidence in yourself?" Ling Wanqiu advised Wang Xin.
"I really don't have confidence," Wang Xin mumbled inwardly.
"Relax. Even if we all lose, he's got our backs." Ling Wanqiu pointed to Jiang Chen, who was directing Pokémon training not far away.
"Sigh, I'll try my best not to hold them back," Wang Xin sighed. After seeing the data, she felt that their overall strength seemed to be inferior to the opponent's. Yesterday, when Imperial Capital Spirit Academy came to cause trouble, Li Hua defeated several people, including Mo Yangjia. The fourth strongest of Imperial Capital Spirit Academy defeated the third strongest of Tianhai Spirit Academy. Although Jiang Chen later instantly defeated Zhao Xiao's Pokémon, their confidence had still been shaken.
"Let's train our Pokémon quickly. Every bit of strength gained is a bit." Ling Wanqiu went to train her Pokémon. In truth, Ling Wanqiu also felt a bit of pressure. She was confident she could defeat Zhao Xiao, but the other two, Xiao Luoxue and Lin Yuefeng, were no weaker than her. Of course, this was just data analysis; in actual combat, who knew who would win or lose?
"Hmm, the light of evolution." Ling Wanqiu immediately looked in the direction of the light, just in time to see Jiang Chen's Pokémon evolve.
Gible evolved into Gabite.
[Gabite]
Gender: Male
Strength: Elite Stage Three
Talent Potential: Champion
Attributes: Dragon, Ground
Ability: Rough Skin
Moves: Dual Chop, Sand Tomb, Sandstorm, Take Down, Dragon Breath...
The evolved Gabite's strength surged. Gible had just reached Elite Stage One, and after evolving, it instantly rose to Elite Stage Three.
"Congratulations..." Ling Wanqiu was about to congratulate Jiang Chen when another flash of evolutionary light appeared.
The somewhat clumsy-looking Squirtle evolved into Wartortle. After evolving, its size almost doubled, and its appearance was no longer so clumsy, seeming somewhat fierce and strong.
[Wartortle]
Gender: Male
Strength: Elite Stage Two
Talent Potential: Heavenly King
Attributes: Water
Ability: Torrent
Moves: Tackle, Withdraw, Water Gun, Water Pulse, Bite, Hydro Pump...
"Congratulations, both of your Pokémon have evolved." Ling Wanqiu congratulated Jiang Chen.
"It looks like Mini Dragon should evolve soon too." Jiang Chen touched the Mini Dragon perched on Ling Wanqiu's shoulder. After evolving, it wouldn't be as cute as it was now, but its combat power would increase by more than just a little.
"Yes, probably in the next two days." Ling Wanqiu was very attentive to Mini Dragon, even more so than to her already evolved Haxorus. And this Mini Dragon was worthy of Ling Wanqiu's attention, after all, it possessed Champion-level talent potential. If Ling Wanqiu wasn't attentive, that would be a waste of its talent. The stronger the talent, the faster the progress in strength. Of course, progress in strength also depended on effort.
"All of your Pokémon are at least Elite strength, right?" Ling Wanqiu looked at the Pokémon under Jiang Chen's command.
"That's right." Jiang Chen nodded. Excluding Dragonite, Dugtrio was Elite Stage Nine, Kirlia and Metang were Elite Stage Seven. Gabite, after evolving, and Nidorina were both Elite Stage Three. The remaining Riolu and Wartortle were Elite Stage Two.
"I feel like the gap between us is getting wider and wider," Ling Wanqiu said, sitting next to Jiang Chen.
"What, are you giving up on your goal of defeating me?"
"How could I? Am I the kind of person who gives up easily? Defeating my dad and you is my lifelong goal." Ling Wanqiu raised her head. "I'm just temporarily behind you; I'll catch up later."
Jiang Chen glanced at Ling Wanqiu. Silly child, the gap between us will probably only widen in the future.
"They all seem to lack confidence. Aren't you going to comfort them and boost their morale?"
"That kind of thing should be left to Old Zhang. How can I boost their confidence? Should I also go to Imperial Capital Spirit Academy and cause trouble just to boost their confidence?" Jiang Chen spread his hands. Jiang Chen would never do something as brainless as going to someone else's school to cause trouble. Losing such a fight would be humiliating, and winning would still tarnish one's character and offend a large number of people, bringing no benefits whatsoever.
"Confidence can only be boosted by themselves. If they don't even believe in themselves, how far can they go?"
"You have a point." Ling Wanqiu nodded thoughtfully. She felt that these words could also be said to herself. Although she always chanted about defeating Jiang Chen, did she have confidence when facing Jiang Chen? No, she herself didn't believe she could win, she had no confidence in herself, so how could she catch up to Jiang Chen? She didn't want to just treat defeating Jiang Chen as a slogan; she wanted to take actual action.
"I understand." Ling Wanqiu suddenly stood up and left.
"???" Jiang Chen was full of questions. "What did you understand?"
Watching Ling Wanqiu, who suddenly became ten times more serious and hardworking not far away, Jiang Chen shrugged.
Perhaps influenced by Ling Wanqiu's serious efforts, Wang Xin, Mo Yangjia, and Qian Le also started training more diligently. Old Zhang, who had just arrived, was a bit dumbfounded. I was going to encourage you all to train your Pokémon hard, but I didn't even need to motivate you. Old Zhang's face filled with relief.
"Jiang Chen, your Squirtle and Gible evolved?" To be honest, Jiang Chen's speed in training Pokémon surprised even him. Unlike some people who were eager for their Pokémon to evolve, which could lead to stunted development and even a decrease in talent potential, Jiang Chen's Pokémon all looked stronger than their peers.
"A lucky evolution," Jiang Chen said, maintaining a low profile.
