112 The Unlucky Qin Yun! The Delicious Douzi
"What's the matter?"
Qin Yun asked calmly. If he could secure the first challenge slot, it would be a good opportunity.
That said, he wasn't one to take unnecessary risks. It was just a Gym Badge, if he couldn't get it here, he could challenge another Gym in another city.
"As for that… I haven't quite decided yet. I'll tell you once I figure it out."
Hearing Xiaoya's words, Qin Yun turned around and walked away without a second thought.
Haven't decided yet? And I'm just supposed to wait?
Qin Yun chuckled to himself. Did she take him for a fool?
What if this Xiaoya girl ended up making an unreasonable demand? He wasn't one to go back on his word, so he wouldn't make an open-ended promise he might regret.
Xiaoya wasn't annoyed by his reaction. On the contrary, she became even more interested.
"What an interesting guy."
She had seen Qin Yun battle. His skills were undeniable. Even if she were to go up against his Lurantis in a one-on-one fight, she wasn't confident she would win.
"Qin Yun, wait! I've decided. Here's my condition: If you agree, I'll get you to the front of the line."
Xiaoya caught up with him, sure that he would take the bait.
Qin Yun stopped and glanced at her. "Let's hear it."
"After your Gym challenge, accompany me to Petalburg Woods."
She flashed a playful smile. "Don't worry, I won't take up too much of your time."
Qin Yun thought it over. He was already planning to pass through Petalburg Woods for his next objective.
"Fine, but if things get troublesome, I leave."
"No problem!"
A victorious smile appeared on Xiaoya's face. With Qin Yun's help, things would be much easier for her.
"Since we have a deal, I'll make the arrangements."
"That would be helpful."
"If you really want to thank me, you can treat me to a meal."
Xiaoya teased, grinning mischievously.
Qin Yun rolled his eyes. Trying to mooch off me? Keep dreaming.
"But how exactly are you pulling this off?"
He had a vague suspicion.
"Don't worry about it. Just show up for the challenge—it'll be arranged for you."
Xiaoya's confidence confirmed his theory.
Qin Yun nodded, exchanged contact information with her, and left without another word.
Xiaoya watched his retreating figure with a glimmer in her eyes.
"Qin Yun, if you see me in tomorrow's match, I wonder what kind of face you'll make?"
She giggled to herself. I can't wait to find out.
The Next Day – Game Day
For Ma Tao and the others, the day was brimming with excitement.
The team was fired up and full of energy.
Qin Yun returned from morning training with his Pokémon, only to hear Ma Tao wailing.
He sighed internally. Zhang Haochen, I feel sorry for you. What kind of roommate did you end up with?
"Let's go eat breakfast. The match is about to start."
"Boss, you're finally here!"
Douzi, barely awake a moment ago, suddenly perked up. Her eyes sparkled dramatically.
"The tournament format has changed."
"To ensure that every team gets to showcase their strength, the remaining rounds will be spread out over four days."
"How long you stay in the competition depends on your performance."
The first day would have 16 matches, reducing the pool to 8 teams. Four battles in the morning, four in the afternoon.
"Teacher Lin, don't worry! With the boss on our side, we're definitely making it to the finals!"
"No doubt! If this were a solo competition, the boss would easily take first place."
No one disagreed.
Qin Yun's individual combat power was overwhelming. His elite-tier Lurantis had already defeated Pokémon at the peak of the elite level. That kind of strength was terrifying.
Some even speculated:
If Lurantis reaches the elite peak, could it challenge a professional-tier Pokémon?
The idea was crazy—but with how things were going, it wasn't impossible.
Of course, they weren't talking about true professional Pokémon—ones trained by battle-hardened experts. But if it was just a newly-evolved pro-tier Pokémon, who knew?
"Alright, enough chatting. Let's go."
Qin Yun smirked. He was determined to win the championship.
No one would stand in his way.
A sharp glint flickered in his eyes. Other matters could be negotiated, but this title was non-negotiable.
Winning the tournament meant a huge influx of rewards. That, in turn, meant better training resources for his Pokémon.
Lately, he had been eyeing something in the system store—his ultimate goal.

[Shinra Tensei – Price: 34,000 Points]
One of the abilities of the Rinnegan in Blaise Ninja. It creates a repulsive force that pushes away all objects and attacks within range.
Weakness: If the target is immovable, the force rebounds onto the user. The wider the range, the higher the energy consumption, and the longer the cooldown time.
[System Modification: Converted into a Pokémon-compatible ability, customized per Pokémon.]
---
Yes—Shinra Tensei.
Qin Yun was determined to buy it.
But 34,000 points? That was steep.
He recently discovered that prices had increased.
When he asked the system why, the answer was frustrating.
"Your three-month newbie period has ended. All items have returned to their original prices. Discounts and limited-time offers no longer apply."
In short, Qin Yun now had to work twice as hard for the same rewards.
But it didn't matter. He would get that ability.
"Let's go."
A group of eleven arrived at the stadium.
On the way, many people greeted them. No, more accurately, they greeted Qin Yun.
At this point, Qin Yun and his team weren't just another group of competitors—they were famous in Yurong City.

The Unexpected Opponent
Upon entering the venue, Qin Yun's gaze landed on a familiar figure.
A girl leading a team into the stadium.
"Xiaoya."
Qin Yun smiled knowingly. So, she's part of the Yurong Gym's team.
And judging by her confidence, she wasn't just a regular member.
"If I beat her later… will she cancel our deal out of spite?"
The thought amused him. Xiaoya's playful nature left a lasting impression.
His little smirk didn't go unnoticed.
Douzi, watching nearby, frowned.
She had already noticed how Xiaoya was fixated on Qin Yun.
"Who is that girl?"
She had a bad feeling.
Was Qin Yun… interested in her?
No, she couldn't let that happen.
Douzi clenched her fists.
"I have to work harder. Otherwise… I won't be worthy of standing by his side."
