Pokémon: Hoenen Rage

Chapter 481 A Year of Growth
"The Wind Fairy is good, so are Chalem and the Turtle. The Swamp Monster and the Sea Spiny Dragon are more than strong, but a bit less flexible. The King Swallow and the Big-billed Gull need to practice their air-to-ground coordination."

Looking at Xinwu and the seven Pokémon who were beaten to the ground by Big Mouth Gull, Lai commented lightly.

Xinwu, who has devoted himself to training in school for the past year, relies on the energy cubes and other resources provided by Lai out of his own pocket. In terms of strength alone, he is only slightly inferior to Yuzuo.

49级的风妖精、48级恰雷姆、47级巨沼怪、48级铁甲贝、46级大王燕、44级海刺龙、41级大嘴鸥，除了两只后面才收服的宝可梦之外，全队都已经进入到向准天王发起冲刺的水平。

However, his shortcomings are also obvious. His actual combat experience is obviously less than that of Issei, Takahiro and Yosuke. Although his tactics are well coordinated and tacitly coordinated, the tactical effects are not ideal. In the face of ordinary battles, he may be able to do it. After hundreds of battles with powerful Pokémon, it seems full of loopholes.

Listening to Lai's comments, Xinwu lowered his head slightly, a little frustrated, but then, Lai's change of subject made him happy again.

"Lila, I think Xinwu can already lead practical classes independently. After he starts to accept the challenge from the Battle Academy, he can also be allowed to go. With more experience, his level will be enough."

"Really teacher?!"

Xinwu swooped down and hugged Lai, making him almost breathless.

"Good guy, please be gentle, I can't bear your current weight." He rubbed Xinwu's hair skillfully, and Hou Lai pushed him away with a little force.

"Hehe! Thank you, teacher! Can I pass the test then?" Xinwu's eyes were filled with anticipation as he gently scratched his cheek with his fingers.

"Well, you've passed the test, and you don't need to go back to the drawing board with Gao Guang to recreate it. Next, Yuxiang."

Lai nodded slightly. Although he tried hard to restrain himself, he still showed satisfaction.

"Okay teacher, I'm not as strong as Xinwu, so I'll choose Nian Meilong."

Youxiang is still the same, she looks gentle and quiet, but she is not like that on the inside.

Walking from Naqi's side, she chose Nian Meilong without thinking.

"Menu(〃'▽'〃)"

Nian Meilong also liked this student who was willing to play with it from the beginning, and strode out happily.

"Gem starfish, strong mind! Swampert, arm hammer! Cunning tengu, parasitic seed!"

Before the greeting was finished, Yuxiang took the lead in attacking.

With the super power of the level 48 Gem Starfish as the central axis, the level 46 Swampert and the level 41 Fast Swimming Frog are in front, the level 45 cunning Tengu and Nidoking, and the level 43 Tanabata that was obviously a private gift from Naqi. The Bluebirds provided support from the outside, combined with near and far, and played very methodically.

Although in terms of strength, Youxiang, who has been more busy with school affairs and cultivating studies this year, is already inferior to Xinwu, but from the perspective of tactics and on-the-spot command, she has not fallen behind at all.

"Slimy Beauty Dragon, Dragon Wave, and then Water Tail."

Looking at his proud disciples who were full of fighting spirit, Lai became more interested and took personal command, leading Slime Dragon to fight with six Pokémon.

"Hissing" Rubbing his red and swollen forehead, Lai couldn't help but take a few more glances at Yuxiang, whose face was full of innocence.

Although Nian Mei Long defeated several of Yuxiang's Pokémon, what he didn't expect was that Yuxiang was self-taught and learned some of Rai's true skills. Rai's forehead was completely useless even with all his defenses and mental strength.

"It's a good strategy. If it were an actual battle, you would be the winner. As a reward, I will give this to you."

After taking the backpack and rummaging around inside, Rai took out the two small crossbows that had been with him for a long time and handed them to Yuxiang solemnly.

"Hehe! Thank you, teacher!" With a sweet smile, Youxiang trotted back to Naqi, holding hands with her and chattering quietly.

Lai suddenly realized something. While sighing secretly, he took out half of the remaining top-grade crossbow arrows and gave them to Youxiang.

······
After that, Yuki, Saji, Ryohei and Genta came on stage one after another.

As Issei's gold medal partner, although Yuki's strength is not as good as the first three, Takahiro, and Yosuke, it should not be underestimated. The ace level 45 Lotte Kappa and Gengar, one attack and one defense, are paired with the level 42 Big Mouth Gull. , level 42 Menas, level 40 Swampert, and the level 39 Axetooth presented by Genji. The configuration is also quite reasonable, and has become Issei's solid backing in countless battles.

At the same time, the two people who came together naturally have a tacit understanding of cooperation, and their strength in doubles is much stronger than that in singles.Saji, Ryohei and Genta are all of similar strength. They all have two main players at the gym level. With four Pokémon that are just one step away from the gym level, the future is also worth looking forward to.

The last person to appear was Risa, who was a little nervous. Looking at Lai with a kind face, she only said one sentence:

"Teacher, you can beat me, but Teacher Naqi is right next to you!"

After saying that, while Lai was stunned, all six of her Pokémon came out to launch a sneak attack.

"Okay, you are so thoughtful!"

Lai, who had already suffered a loss from Yuxiang, would not be fooled this time. The natural bird came into battle with a slight tinkling sound, and all the incoming attacks were resolved.

Seeing that the raid was fruitless, Risa immediately changed her tactics, played steadily, and took advantage of the limited space on the field to set off a sandstorm, minimizing the sight of the natural bird and Rai.

Taking advantage of the chaos, the giant swamp monster came out from the side and was about to hit the natural bird with a heavy punch.

With a flash of blue light, the natural bird appeared behind the giant swamp monster, and struck it with a newly learned air slash.

But then, the dragon-headed gopher burst out of the wind and sand and went straight behind the natural bird. Dora and the ancient feather insect also supported him from the side, as well as the big Chao Beibi and Da Zui Wa who were ready to go.

Continuous attacks and solid play, at a glance, you can see the shadow of Miyu and the rock gym, especially the big north nose that evolved using Kanaz's unique magnetic field and the dragon head that eats sandstone crystals Gopher, under Miyu's devoted training, is very powerful.

"Well done! Natural bird, gravity!"

Seeing that Risa was approaching fiercely, Rai also became serious and tried every move. When Risa's methods were almost exhausted, he defeated her with the power of thunder. Then he stepped forward and gave her a refreshing blow to the head, which made him feel comfortable. .

"Teacher Wu Naqi!"

Covering her little head, Lisa made a face at Lai and ran back jumping up and down.

Lai also scratched his head a little about this student who was originally very down-to-earth, but for some reason became more lively after going to Karnaz.

However, despite the fuss, the strength has not dropped at all.

Level 46 Dachaibibi, Level 44 Big Mouth Baby, Level 46 Dragon-headed Gopher, Level 42 Swamp Monster, Level 41 Cordora, Level 38 Ancient Feather Insect, even the recently resurrected Ancient Feather Insect in Devon Company got one. , which shows that Miyu cares about her, Lai also wants to remember this favor in his heart and find time to repay her.

The round of assessment has now been completed. He is quite satisfied with the eight top ten students present in the first phase. Looking at the students with different expressions, Lai announced the arrangements before the second phase graduation ceremony.

When all the first-year students return, Naqi will lead them to the Island of Prayer to have some experience there.

Before that, the eight people had to train with Lai.

Starting from that afternoon, in the outdoor training field on the edge of the school, a total of nine Swamp Monsters, one large and eight small, began their arduous training journey.

Several students, through Lai's step-by-step teaching, are optimizing and improving what they have gained from a year of practice.

In line with the principle that a sheep is herded and a group of sheep is driven, Lai resumed the previous practical teaching methods. He and Naqi took turns to fight with the students one against eight, using physical pain to deepen their understanding of the situation. memory.

However, while the students were in pain and happiness, Lai and Naqi were a little burdened.

In the chairman's office, Lila, who had just had a few days of leisure, looked at the documents that were being sent in continuously by Wright and Assistant Zhou, with veins popping up on her forehead.

What made her even more annoyed was that her original assistant, Wright, and Zhou Zhu, who was about to stay at the school, mysteriously disappeared after doing a little work for her. When she looked again, they had appeared at the training ground of Lai and Naqi. Inside.

Taking out the notebook that she had already memorized densely, Lila worked hard at her desk and added another "crime" to Len.

······
"Sneeze! Who is talking about me?" Lai, who was resting against a big tree, sneezed for no reason and rubbed his nose.

In the distance, Zhousuke also joined the training team.
