"The young man is still too inexperienced; if you're feeling embarrassed, just watd see if the streamer feels it too or if it's just you feeling awkward."

  "Really? You didn't reize that high school student?"

  "Who is he? Your father?"

  "I reized him a while back; he's the grandson of Walker Elite."

  "Wow, it really is him! I saw his video on Vibrato not long ago where he was dominating a pseudo-Elite, he made it look way too easy."

  "He has a Silver Metagross, along with Lucario and Dragonair."

  "Streamer, hurry up and make your move! Whether you marry into a wealthy family depends on your strategy."

  "I remember that the anchor's family background seems to be good"

  "Better than the Walker family?"

  Lin Lin was momentarily stunned when she read the ents. She noticed Julian had vanished from the crowd.

  Though she didn't io pursue him, entering the grandson of Walker Elite was ued.

  "Streamer, Julian is wearing a Lake No. 1 middle school uniform. He'll definitely be peting ieam event tomorrow siheir petitor is tough; you should broadcast it live!"

  A local fan from Lake city chimed in.

  "I 't do it tomorrow; I've got pns," Lin Lin replied.

  The live stream was merely for fun. She had e all the way from Bash for a signifit purpose.

  Ieam match, the petition was set between eams divided introups of three, creating a few automatic byes.

  Lake No. 1 Middle School and Lit Middle School got unlucky; they avoided the byes unlike aeam that got them.

  Sam approached Julian, his demeanor serious as he awaited the five key pyers.

  "Beating Lit Middle Seans we ch the championship."

  Among the remaining teams, none posed a real threat—only Lit Middle School could stand up to Lake.

  "As long as we win, the other teams will be no match for Lake Middle School."

  "Don't worry, with Julian on our side, losing is not an option!" Will said, patting his ow.

  It eculiar se; it sounded more like he doubted his own abilities while pg all his trust in Julian.

  "Julian is our ace, while their ace is Non—he's formidable."

  "No matter how strong Non is, Metagross beat him"

  "His main Pokémon is Pupitar" Sam looked at Will with a somewhat unfriendly look.

  Julian pulled Will's clothes but the guy didn't seem to notice at all, and said in surprise, "Pseudo legendary?, Julian has two pseudo legendaries."

  Julian facepalmed, finding Will's ck of awareness baffling.

  "Will, didn't you read the information I provided about them? You don't even know if their team has a pseudo-legendary?" Sam nearly shouted in frustration.

  Yesterday, he had provided the team with details on their oppos, aiming to ensure everyone had a grasp of the rival trainers and their Pokémon.

  Knowing this kind of intel would be vital, all coaches were likely doing the same.

  Everyone was supposed to prepare, but now it seemed Will hadn't reviewed the materials at all.

  These dots tained not just the types they're skilled in but also their Pokémon's weaknesses and the pces that be targeted.

  And these two points are the key to victory.

  "Julian didn't check it either,"

  When Will saw Sam's expression that he was about to eat him, he panicked and sold Julian directly.

  Sam Nott turned his head sharply and looked at Julian.

  "I did." Julian replied in a heartbeat.

  "I'll take care of you whech is over. If you lose the match, you're dead." Sam looked at Will fiercely.

  He worried that Will might bee a blemish on his coag record if he didn't step it up.

  "Han, Zosh, Shen, Will, and Julian will pete in that order. Remember to py to your strengths and avoid putting your Pokémon in harm's way; their future depends on it," Sam cautioned early.

  While Pokemon bodies are indeed much tougher than humans', they still pete against other Pokémon.

  The more intehe battle, the more likely it is to cause signifit injury. Even if some Pokémon recover, they may sustain hidden injuries that will hiheir development.

  Every major event sees a few Pokémon sidelined with irreversible injuries, ofteo trainers not g defeat.

  For Sam, prioritizing the health of their Pokémon was far more important than any honlory.

  Unfortunately, some trainers habitually prioritised the opposite.

  As the matenced, Han made his way to the opposing battlefield, followed closely by his rival Link.

  "Julian, what kind of trainer is Han's rival? Surely he's not aric-type?" Will asked, etched on his face.

  Although he and Han hadn't ied much, that's because of their differing attribute types but their attitude towards each other was still good.

  "I don't know," Julian said.

  "Didn't you say you read the data?"

  Will shot Julian an incredulous look, his eyes wide with disbelief. He was a Julian for misleading him, as he had assumed Julian actually analyzed the data after their te-night gaming session of King's Glory.

  "You Deceived Teacher Sam"

  Sam Nott, who was standing in front of Julian, the ers of his mouth kept twitg. These guys regarded him as transparent.

  "Old Sam"

  Will prepared to report Julian's antics but was cut off when Sam snapped, "Shut up and focus och."

  Will felt a swell of frustration from the btant bias, muttering under his breath, "It's amazing if you have strength."

  "It's really amazing to have strength," Julian said.

  "Keep your mouth shut!" Will retorted angrily.

  Julian fell silent, his gaze fixed otlefield where Han had summoned his Trump Card, Bstoise, while his oppo sent out a Gengar.

  her Pokémon had a distinct advantage based on type, but Gengar, being both Poison and Ghost-type, posed a signifit challenge.

  Ghost-types are notoriously tricky, possessing a wide array of unusual moves. Among the 18 types, the most powerful attackers are certainly Dragon-types, but when it es to plexity, Ghost-types reign supreme.

  Gengar is known iside world as the "Ghost King," capable of learning moves from various other types.

  Ghost-type Pokémoen regarded as masters of stealth, akin to assassins in the world of killers, and their partners often belong to the same spooky cssification.

  Last year, the Ice-type Elite from Drakoria was nearly assassinated by a Frosss, and while the attempt failed, the Elite lost a main Pokémon in the process.

  Information like this may remain a secret unknown to the public, or perhaps Joh something slip to Julian uionally.

  Trainers specializing in Ghost-types tend to be fewer than those of other types, as a misstep could lead to their own souls being harmed by their Pokémon.
