International Youth Exchange Competition?

"Why is Charizard weaker than Blastoise?"

"No way, Blaziken's ability is doomed to become increasingly braver, and Charizard's bad luck has also fallen into a paralyzed competition condition..."

"Brothers, I have a feeling that Bruce seems to be setting a new record."

The audience talked a lot, and countless netizens scrolled through the live broadcast screen.

Viewing area of Kandor City University,

The master trainer glanced at Luka Modrić, who was crossing his arms, and asked, "How is it?"

Luka smiled and replied, "Not bad, much better than I imagined."

He paused and then added, "A strong contender for the championship."

The master trainer looked solemn, nodded, and spoke in a deep voice: "From my observations over these two days, Bruce's level of threat is no less than Liam's."

"His strength and command level of Pokemon are already similar to yours, there is no obvious gap."

"If you meet him in the next match, you will definitely need to pay attention."

Luka raised his eyebrows, a faint smile on his face, and said in a flat tone: "Don't worry, this time I will be the champion."

"It's decided."

Field,

Emily returned Charizard to its Poke Ball and couldn't help but mutter softly: "It's a bad start..."

After this game, her undefeated streak was broken.

Frustration reflected on her face, but Emily quickly stabilized her mind and forced a smile: "It's fine, it's fine as long as we can get into the playoffs."

"This is just a temporary loss, as long as we can make it to the main match."

Thinking of this, Emily left the venue under the guidance of the staff.

Bruce also recalled Blaziken, turned, and left, and warm applause erupted from the stands on both sides, because Bruce shouted.

Bruce smiled and waved his hands, responding to the audience's enthusiasm.

Time passed, and today's match was over.

So far, Bruce had played six games and won all of them without losing any.

He opened the rankings and looked; it seemed that more than ten players had won all their matches like him, and the names of Liam, Eliza, and Maxwell were notably among them.

It's just that Maxwell would face Luka tomorrow, the captain of the Kandor University school team. It was as if sparks were falling to the ground, and an impactful battle would unfold.

As for the other two players, Mike had lost one match, and David had lost two matches.

After dinner, the six of them returned to the room with Master Rodriguez.

"Alright, I've made enough preparations a long time ago." Maxwell spoke calmly, his eyes steady.

"Do your best, it's just a knockout round anyway," Master Rodriguez said with a smile.

Maxwell nodded slightly and didn't say anything further.

"After today's match, the way to qualify is gradually becoming clearer." Master Rodriguez looked around and spoke slowly.

The four from Bruce's group had won all their matches. Unless they lost all their games tomorrow, their qualification was practically guaranteed.

Mike had lost one game, so as long as he played steadily tomorrow, he could qualify without any issues. ...

"David, do your best tomorrow to win all your matches," Master Rodriguez told David.

"I understand." David looked serious and nodded heavily.

If he kept losing tomorrow, his chances of qualifying would plummet.

Master Rodriguez nodded slightly and then told Bruce: "The opponent Emily you faced in the last match today is very strong, and due to probability, she might make it to the playoffs."

"I underestimated her strength a little," he continued.

"If her Charizard hadn't fallen into the paralyzed competition condition, it could have been a fierce battle."

"On the main stage of the competition, pay attention to this person."

-Understood- they all responded in unison.

Then, Master Rodriguez looked at Liam and said in a husky voice: "Luka has made great progress, and this time he is here for the championship, be careful."

Liam's expression didn't change; he simply smiled and said, "I'm here for the championship too."

"Alright, everyone, let's try to advance to the main match; that's where the real game begins." Master Rodriguez clapped and said loudly.

Not long after, Bruce returned to his room.

He turned on his phone, opened the photo album, and identified the fossils he had collected in his free time.

"This is Beedrillite..."

"Hello, this is Lucarionite."

"This looks like Salamence's mega..."

After some identification, Bruce marked each evolutionary stone and sent them to the elder.

According to the elder, the harvest during this period had been good, and almost every day, one or two evolutionary stones could be found.

Bruce also asked a specific question at that time: why not go abroad to search for evolutionary stones?

The elder's answer was very simple: "First of all, intelligence agents are primarily responsible for special national incidents, and the situation abroad is severe and complicated, and our manpower and strength are insufficient."

"Second, searching abroad is like finding a needle in a haystack, and the efficiency is much lower than at home."

"On the contrary, you reminded me that we can deploy people abroad in advance, organize some manpower, and gather all the possible information on the whereabouts of the evolutionary stones."

"When the national collection process is slow, we can send a group of people abroad."

In fact, what the elder said was a bit euphemistic: if the family is powerful, they can send their relatives abroad.

But now, the Bayne family's development time is relatively short, and it's hard to provoke the leader due to the lack of independent individuals.

But that should improve as the older generation reaches their full potential and the younger generation grows.

This is a gradual development process. The Bayne family not only needs elites in charge but also Gym and Master-level trainers to take on the family's important responsibilities.

The Bayne family has Gym-level trainers, but no Master-level trainers (1) for now.

This is an insurmountable gap, and more than 90% of Gym-level trainers are trapped here.

Currently, the person with the most hope of reaching Master-level in the Bayne family is William. His Alakazam is already infinitely close to Master-level and is just waiting for the opportunity.

Once Alakazam reaches Master-level and plays a leading role, the possibility of Pokemon advancing will increase enormously.

"But with the mega stones, the strength of the Bayne family should be much stronger than before," Bruce thought to himself.

"And now that we control the Diamond Forest, it's like having a great breeding base, so the starting point of the younger generation is much higher."

In short, as long as they continue to develop steadily, the Bayne family will gradually become a top-tier family.

And during this period, the results of handling the intruder incident were revealed.

All the intruders were taken to prison, where they would spend the rest of their lives.

Among them, the worst cases would face the death penalty.

Secondly, all the Pokemon of the intruders were collected by the Pokemon Association. After a period of ideological education, they were treated accordingly, either released or distributed to members.

And this is just a temporary face-to-face treatment. Although the leaders and most of the elite members of these intrusion organizations have been arrested, there are still Khemed trainers.

When the news reaches Khemed, the members of these organizations will surely start a bloody power struggle.

These organizations will not perish but will continue to take root in the chaotic land (Khemed), and when they develop to a certain point, many bad things will repeat.

The elder revealed to Bruce his goal before leaving: to eliminate many evil organizations from Khemed.

The Bayne family is located in the southern city of Fairbay, near the southwest border, and Khemed is far from the Bayne family across the southwest border.

Resolving the Khemed threat is crucial for the peaceful development of the Bayne family in the coming decades.

Bruce lay on the large, soft bed, looked at the ceiling, and murmured quietly: "To completely resolve this threat, the elder alone is definitely not enough."

"The police guard and the Bayne family must work together. Well, it's better to add an Elite Trainer to make it stable enough."

"The combination of two Elites is enough to solve many disputes in this world."

Just as Bruce was thinking desperately, his phone vibrated slightly. He opened it and found a message from Master Rodriguez in the group.

"Great news, go read the post that the Committee just published on the official website."

Bruce was slightly surprised, then connected to the official website of the University Students' League, clicked, and saw a post at the top: International Youth Exchange Competition.

International Youth Exchange Competition?

Bruce furrowed his brow slightly and immediately clicked on the post to read it carefully.

After a long time, Bruce's eyes slightly brightened as he understood what this post was about.

Probably some time ago, the youth associations of many countries jointly issued a statement that they would hold an international youth exchange competition, including Avalon, Utopia, and Latveria.

Camelot and other countries.

At that time, the multinational youth exchange conference would be broadcast live worldwide.

According to the Avalon Youth Association's resolution, the players who would participate in the multinational youth exchange competition would be selected from the university student league.

A total of eight contestants are needed, corresponding to the top eight in the university student league.

The countries have strictly limited the age of the contestants, and they cannot exceed 22 years old, to meet the definition of "youth."

Additionally, the strength gap between the players from different countries should not be too wide, otherwise, it will reduce the excitement of the competition.

In fact, this type of competition is very common and happens every year, but since it is a contest between countries, it has attracted widespread attention from trainers worldwide.

"In this way, the intensity of this university student league will be much higher than before," Bruce murmured softly.

No trainer would refuse the opportunity to fight for their country (2).

Notes:
(1) The masters (Colin, Agatha Hannibal)mentioned earlier belong to the police, not the Bayne family.
(2) No one in their right mind would not want to fight for their country, as seen in sports players who make great travels just to represent their country.
