Chapter 602 Shakiras: Finally, it's my turn.
"No problem."
Li Luochen readily agreed.
For him, the competition itself was the best way to communicate, and he also knew that Du Juan's starting point was for the students, so he was naturally happy to support her efforts.
Li Luochen looked around and pointed to the standard training ground not far away: "Shall we fight in that training ground over there? The ground is empty, so we don't need to prepare anything extra."
Du Juan followed his gaze, and her eyes immediately lit up.
The training ground is located between the teaching building and the auditorium, with tiered spectator seating around it. It is usually used for students to conduct practical exercises.
The venue is in good condition, the markings are clear, and it is very close to the auditorium, so the combat students will be able to gather there quickly!
Du Juan nodded vigorously: "I'll have the students go and inform the combat department students to come and watch the match!"
After saying that, she jogged off towards the teaching building.
Li Luochen arrived at the battlefield, his hands in his pockets, his gaze fixed on the standard battlefield before him.
The tiered seating area around the venue was still empty, but it wouldn't be long before it was packed with students who had come after hearing the news.
He looked away, his fingers habitually gliding lightly over the Poké Ball at his waist.
Du Juan specializes in rock types, so he could easily send Groudon into battle.
Ground-type attacks have an absolute suppressive effect on Rock-type attacks; a single Cliff Sword attack could probably force the entire terrain to be rebuilt.
But Li Luochen quickly dismissed the idea.
Groudon was only recently captured and is not yet used to being commanded by humans. If it makes a scene during its debut in such a public setting and causes a commotion that collapses the school building of Kanaz Academy, that would be disastrous.
Calycanthus isn't really suitable either; that king has been in the spotlight enough lately, and besides, it's boring to keep using the same strategy.
As he pondered, Li Luochen removed all the mythical beasts from his list.
That's true, this is the Hoenn region, and Du Juan is, after all, his good brother's junior, so he has to give her some face.
Hmm, which one should I choose?
While thinking.
Du Juan had already led a large group of students into the training field.
The once empty tiered stands were quickly filled with people, students in uniform whispering among themselves, their faces filled with excitement and curiosity.
People in the crowd craned their necks to look at the center of the field, wanting to see what the owner of Donghuang Hall, who had prompted Teacher Du Juan to challenge him to a duel, looked like.
Lucia and Lillie were among them.
Rukia, sitting in the front row, still holding the magnificent tournament pom-pom she had used during her lesson in the auditorium, stood up and waved it wildly at Li Luochen as soon as she saw him: "Go, Luochen-nii!"
Lillie, sitting upright beside him, didn't call out, her beautiful eyes filled with curiosity.
"Gym Leader Luo Chen, do you have any Pokémon that are slightly weaker?"
Du Juan stood at the command post at the other end of the field and politely inquired.
Li Luochen understood the meaning behind those words immediately.
After all, Du Juan had watched his dojo promotion tournament video and knew what level of monsters his main dogs were.
If I were to send in Charizard or Calyrex directly, the battle would become a one-sided stomp, which would not serve any educational purpose for the students.
"How exactly is it slightly weaker?" Li Luochen asked knowingly, chuckling lightly.
"Something like elite level." Du Juan blinked and gestured seriously. "It's the kind of Pokémon that hasn't fully grown yet, but already has some battle experience."
"In this way, we can have a close match and also let the students see the importance of tactics and teamwork."
Li Luochen glanced down at the row of Poké Balls at his waist, pondered for a moment, then reached out and took one down, weighing it in his palm: "Barely one."
"That's good."
Du Juan visibly breathed a sigh of relief; the weight that had been hanging over her heart finally lifted.
She was terrified that Li Luochen would say something like, "The weakest one is that fire-breathing dragon," which would turn her public lesson into a demonstration of how to be instantly defeated.
Fortunately, Li Luochen still has elite-level Pokémon.
Du Juan took out a Poké Ball and threw it.
A Pokémon with a pure blue body appeared on the field. Its body was a huge rock with a matte finish typical of minerals.
What's most striking is its large, red nose right in the center of its face.
It also has arms and legs, standing firmly on the ground, exuding the calm and dignified presence unique to Rock-type Pokémon.
"This is my partner, North Face," Du Juan said with a slight smile.
The north-facing nose shook its little arms in response.
Pokémon: Nose Bridge
[Attribute: Rock]
[Level: 36]
【Characteristics: Sturdy】
[Movement details: omitted.]
Seeing that the North-facing nose sent by Du Juan was just right at the elite level, Li Luochen had a good idea of what was going on.
He sent out his good friend, Shakiras.
Shakiras was completely encased in a hard, purple carapace. Its cocoon-shaped body resembled a missile poised for launch, and a pair of red eyes gleamed sharply through the gaps in its carapace.
"Sargassum, a Rock/Ground type." Du Juan recognized the Pokémon at a glance, her eyebrows slightly raised.
As a fellow Rock-type Trainer, she was very familiar with the evolutionary chain of Shakiras.
Although Tyranitar's previous form has not yet evolved into its final ferocious form, it is definitely a formidable opponent in the Elite tier.
"Huh, why is the color of this Shakiras different from the one in the encyclopedia?"
Suddenly, a gasp came from the stands. A boy sitting in the front row pointed at Shakiras in the center of the arena, his face full of confusion.
His classmates next to him all took out their phones and opened the picture book to compare.
The Shakiras in the encyclopedia is entirely gray-blue, with its carapace having a silver-gray metallic sheen.
But the one before us was entirely deep purple, its carapace faintly glowing with a dark purple light, and even its exposed eyes had a touch of scarlet...
Du Juan smiled slightly, turned around and explained loudly to the spectator stands, "Everyone, look carefully, this Shakiras is a Shiny Pokémon."
"Different individuals are extremely rare in nature. Their body color is significantly different from that of ordinary individuals, but there is no essential difference in their abilities."
"Gym Leader Luo Chen is willing to use this Shakiras for today's tutorial battle, so everyone should cherish this opportunity."
As soon as he finished speaking, the stands erupted in an uproar.
Shiny Pokémon are rare to begin with, let alone a final evolution like Shakiras, which is the pseudo-legendary larva of Tyranitar.
Many students had already taken out their notebooks, afraid of missing any detail of the upcoming battle.
