Chapter 10 Xu Xuan is Humiliated
Chapter 10 Xu Xuan is Humiliated
Training at Field 5 began as scheduled.
The succulent plant repeatedly releases fibrous material, yet it is unable to withstand the continuous onslaught.
It was repeatedly swept away by the current, and the injuries accumulated on its body gradually became more severe.
Chen Xi looked worried and pulled Lin Chong aside, saying, "Do you want to rest for a while?"
"Although the Miraculous Grass is resistant to water-type attacks, it must be feeling terrible after taking so many hits..."
Lin Chong shook his head: "Training is of course painful, it's normal to feel uncomfortable."
"Actually, Pokémon are much stronger than trainers think, so you don't need to worry."
Through his thoughts, Lin Chong knew that the Qili Grass hadn't reached its limit yet, but Chen Xi didn't understand.
She tried to stop him several times, but then she remembered all the unusual things about Lin Chong and finally gave up.
After practicing for another ten minutes, Lin Chong asked her, "Do you want to stop?"
This time, Chen Xi did not hesitate.
"I'll listen to you, Coach."
"Very good." Lin Chong couldn't help but praise, "Then let's continue."
At the edge of the venue, Dong Jiahao's pen flew across his notebook as he jotted down notes.
He didn't record Qilicao's training data, but instead wrote down everything Lin Chong did and even every word he said.
Unfortunately, it seems he misunderstood something.
"I see, I understand now, I get it!"
"During training sessions, you can't just cater to the client's demands; you must stick to your own principles!"
Jiahao's eyes lit up, and he became more and more excited as he wrote. He muttered Lin Chong's words to himself, as if he were rehearsing something in his mind...
The time came to two o'clock.
"That's enough, stop now."
When Qilicao felt utterly exhausted and had no other thoughts, Lin Chong finally clapped his hands.
He waved to Jiahao on the sidelines: "Could you get some Pokémon food, the kind that restores energy?"
Jiahao responded and immediately ran out.
Chen Xi rushed into the arena and caught the fallen Qili Grass just before it collapsed. Lin Chong also told the two water-type Pokémon to rest for the time being and wait for Jiahao to return.
Ke Jiahao didn't come, but Xu Xuan and the man in the suit arrived at the training area first.
They stood in court number four, very close to Lin Chong and his team, as if they were about to play a six-on-six game.
The man in the suit greeted Lin Chong happily, but Xu Xuan deliberately avoided looking at him, his face dark as he looked down at the ground, appearing impatient.
Lin Chong smiled and waved, not paying attention to Xu Xuan's reaction, but Chen Xi approached with great interest.
"I heard from the people at the gym this morning that Xu Xuan is a professional trainer."
"How strong is he?"
Lin Chong shook his head: "I'm not familiar with him."
"You'll see when you see it."
As the two began their battle, Jiahao also came over carrying a box of energy food. He was also a little excited when he saw the situation in Arena 4.
"I'm so lucky to see a professional trainer take action today!"
Jiahao brought over two more chairs, and the three of them sat together and started watching.
The man in the suit started with a Blister Slug, while Xu Xuan, as a practice partner, chose a Fire-type Pokémon, Kokoro.
Upon seeing this, everyone present was taken aback.
Why does this scene look so familiar?
Chen Xi subconsciously looked at Lin Chong and said, "Is he trying to spar with someone of the opposite attribute, like you did this morning?"
Lin Chong was speechless, but Jiahao guessed, "Perhaps there's some kind of surprise attack?"
"After all, he's a professional..."
However, Jiahao soon lost his voice.
Under the command of the man in the suit, the Water Snake used its attribute advantage to completely suppress its opponent!
While Xu Xuan's orders were effective, they couldn't overcome the huge disadvantage of fighting against the opponent's elemental attributes.
As a stream of water as thick as a forearm struck the chicken squarely, rendering it unable to fight, the referee on the sidelines raised his hand.
"Keli Chicken, incapacitated."
At that time, because of Xu Xuan's reputation as a professional trainer, a small group of people gathered around Field 4, discussing the matter animatedly.
"What's up with Xu Xuan? Coming up with the opposite attribute, is he here to provoke us?"
"It's probably because a sparring partner won this morning despite having the opposite attribute, and he's probably trying to imitate that..."
"Try to imitate him, but he lost. What's the point of imitating him? He can play professionally like that."
The gossip flooded Xu Xuan's ears, and his face immediately turned extremely ugly.
For his next Pokémon, he switched to the Rock-type Eevee, which was still weak to Water-type Pokémon.
But this time, Xu Xuan immediately ordered it to use "Quicksand".
The man in the suit, unable to react in time, watched helplessly as the Water Snake was engulfed by the sand, unable to switch Pokémon.
Xu Xuan made a quick decision, switching to a Grass-type Eevee. In just two rounds, he defeated the Water Snake and won the game.
The opportunistic onlookers gasped in surprise, and Xu Xuan's expression softened slightly.
The situation then became one-sided.
No matter which Pokémon the man in the suit puts on, he will be targeted by Xu Xuan.
The gym Pokémon were already stronger than the regular Pokémon, and Xu Xuan's command skills were far superior to the man in the suit. Less than ten minutes had passed before the battle was already coming to an end.
With the final appearance of the man in the suit, the Sleeping King collapsed to the ground, ending the match with a lopsided score of 6 to 1.
A round of applause and cheers erupted in the stadium. Xu Xuan stood on the high platform, enjoying the applause, completely unaware that the man in the suit opposite him had darkened his expression.
This scene amused Lin Chong, who could roughly guess what this idiot was trying to do.
Chen Xi, standing to the side, frowned: "Pro players are indeed different."
"But if he wins so easily, what kind of experience do the guests have?"
The next second, the man in the suit didn't even look at Xu Xuan and walked straight to the front desk.
With a stern face, he said to Old Man Zhou, "Give me my money back."
"Only ten minutes have passed, but you're charging me for an hour and giving me back the remaining two hours."
The old man did not refuse, took out a few red bills, and handed them to the man in the suit.
Xu Xuan, who had followed them all the way, grew anxious. He blocked the man in the suit and angrily said, "What's wrong with you? You want a refund after just one game? Are you kidding me?!"
The man in the suit got angry and pointed at Xu Xuan's nose, cursing.
"I fucking came to you to experience the battles and have some fun!"
"What the hell are you doing? First you humiliated me with a Pokémon of the opposite type, then you beat me up. Who's the boss here, you or me?"
"Refund!"
The man in the suit pulled Xu Xuan aside, took the red bill, and left without looking back.
As he approached the gate, he uttered, "Tell Coach Lin Chong that I've booked his services for next month!"
"No, I'll book the remaining six months!"
The door closed, and the hall fell silent for a moment. After a few seconds, whispers from the onlookers could be heard.
Finally realizing something was wrong, Jiahao tore off the page he had just written about Xu Xuan from his notebook and threw it into the trash can.
And what about Xu Xuan?
He stood at the door, gritting his teeth, his fists clenched so tightly they were almost bleeding. Suddenly, he turned his head sharply and stared intently at Lin Chong, as if he were looking at an enemy.
