Chapter 116 - CHAPTER 115

115 Battle! Snow Team

This team was anything but simple.

All five Pokémon were well-trained, covering each other's weaknesses seamlessly.

"Get ready. It's our turn."

The next match was theirs. After watching the other two seeded teams dominate their opponents, they knew they couldn't afford to underperform.

"The four seeded teams are all playing in the morning… That can't be a coincidence," Qin Yun murmured.

Sure enough, the schedule was structured to showcase the best teams early, drawing maximum attention. The remaining eight teams were scheduled for the afternoon, where the pressure wouldn't be as intense.

"Hmm."

His teammates looked serious. Watching the other powerhouses had shaken their confidence.

Qin Yun noticed their uncertainty but didn't bother with empty reassurances. Instead, he took the lead and walked forward.

"Match Three: Yongji University Team vs. Nancheng University Team!"

"This is a battle between two of the strongest university teams. I don't need to introduce them—most of you already know their reputations."

"The main thing worth mentioning is Yongji University's unexpected rookie. We don't know where they found him, but his strength is insane, and his battles have been nothing short of spectacular."

The commentators' words stirred murmurs in the audience.

When they heard "Yongji University," many immediately thought of Qin Yun.

"Is this Qin Yun really as strong as people say?"

A lot of spectators hadn't seen him fight before since the teams were previously split into four groups.

"You'll understand when you see it. His Lurantis is ridiculously strong, but what's really scary are its moves. They're… different."

Those who had seen his battles were excited, anticipating another show of strength.

Qin Yun and his teammates walked onto the battle stage, eyes from all directions locked onto them.

"Qin Yun, I'm looking forward to this. Don't disappoint me," Xiaoya called out teasingly.

Nearby, Miriam rolled her eyes.

"Oh? Is that girl glaring at me? Don't tell me she sees me as a romantic rival?"

Xiaoya's lips curled into a smug smile, taunting Douzi.

Douzi clenched her fists, but she knew she wasn't strong enough to challenge Xiaoya directly.

Meanwhile, in the Petalburg University stands…

"Captain, how do you think their team will handle Qin Yun?"

"Let's see how strong they really are first."

As a seeded team, Qin Yun's squad was under constant scrutiny. Opponents were already strategizing ways to counter them.

"Xiao Wang, get the data ready."

"No problem."

Xiao Wang adjusted his glasses, analyzing the match setup.

"It's about to start."

Qin Yun's focus sharpened.

Winning each match meant billions of Pokémon Coins in rewards.

"Top 16? Not enough."

"Top 8 comes with a 200,000 Pokémon Coin bonus. With my system's multiplier, that's 200 million."

"Fourth place gets 300,000—300 million after the multiplier."

"Third place? 500,000—half a billion."

"Second place? One million—one billion Pokémon Coins."

His mind was racing with numbers.

"One billion sounds like a lot, but it'll disappear fast. If I don't take first place, I'll have to keep grinding competitions just to stay ahead."

His eyes gleamed with determination.

"No one is stopping me."

His teammates were more focused on the honor of competing, but Qin Yun's perspective was different.

Most of them came from wealthy families—whether they won or lost, their lifestyles wouldn't change. But if they could get their hands on 10 billion Pokémon Coins, their perspectives would shift.

What was 10 billion worth in the Pokémon world?

With that money, they could:

Fund a top-tier training facility

Recruit expert mentors

Evolve Pokémon to their final stages

Acquire multiple high-tier Pokémon, including rare starters

Invest in top-class equipment and performance enhancers

With six fully-evolved Pokémon, at least one or two of them could reach the pinnacle of their species.

Even an average trainer could rise to professional level with those kinds of resources.

"In the end, talent matters," Qin Yun thought. "But with 10 billion Pokémon Coins… even average talent can become extraordinary."

"Trainers, summon your Pokémon in order."

"Red team goes first."

Qin Yun's team was on the blue side.

The format required alternating summons:

1. Red team calls one Pokémon.

2. Blue team calls two Pokémon.

3. Red team calls two more Pokémon.

4. Blue team calls two more Pokémon.

5. Red team calls one Pokémon.

6. Blue team calls two Pokémon.

7. Red team calls their final Pokémon.

The battlefield was a decagon, with red's Pokémon in positions 1-5 and blue's in 6-10.

The direct matchups occurred between positions 3 and 8, as well as 1 and 10.

"Come out, Abomasnow!"

The red team's first Pokémon was a late-stage elite Abomasnow, positioned at No. 2.

"Come out, Arcanine!"

"Come out, Shuckle!"

Qin Yun's team locked in their choices.

The red team continued:

"Come out, Glalie!"

"Come out, Glaceon!"

Both were also late-stage elite Pokémon.

"A Snow Team?"

Qin Yun's eyes narrowed.

This meant they were running a hail-based strategy, likely focused on Snow Warning and synergy with Ice-type Pokémon.

At the core of their strategy was Abomasnow's Snowfall Ability, which automatically triggered hail upon entering battle.

"That means their ace must be Weavile."

Glaceon and Glalie were strong, but they weren't offensive powerhouses. Weavile, on the other hand, was a fast and lethal attacker under hail conditions.

The remaining Pokémon were revealed:

"Come out, Emboar!"

"Come out, Lapras!"

"Come out, Lurantis!"

"Come out, Machoke!"

"Come out, Weavile!"

As expected, Weavile was the team's final pick.

The opposing lineup was confirmed:

1. Abomasnow (Snowfall Ability, Late Elite Stage)

2. Glalie (Frozen Body Ability, Late Elite Stage)

3. Glaceon (Snow Cloak Ability, Late Elite Stage)

4. Lapras (Water Absorb Ability, Elite Peak Stage)

5. Weavile (Pressure Ability, Elite Peak Stage, Holding a Focus Sash!)

This was a well-structured Snow Team.

The only slight inconsistency was Lapras' Water Absorb Ability, which didn't directly benefit from hail. But its sheer strength compensated for that.

Qin Yun smiled.

"A strong team… but I'm stronger."
