Li Xiang looked at Jiang Mo's Gengar, paused for a moment, then surprisingly said, "Jiang Mo, your Gengar... its color seems a bit different?"
Jiang Mo smiled, patted Gengar's big, chubby head, and said, "Yes, my Gengar is a Shiny Pokémon, its color is a bit deeper than a regular Gengar."
Li Xiang leaned in for a closer look and couldn't help but laugh, "Indeed, but honestly, Gengar's Shiny form doesn't look that much different, it's still that chubby appearance, hahaha!"
"Koujue!"
Gengar heard Li Xiang's words and immediately made a funny face, sticking its tongue out long, making Li Xiang burst into laughter.
Jiang Mo also couldn't help but laugh, "Yes, Shiny Gengar doesn't have anything special about it in its normal form, but after Mega Evolution, it turns white, and its appearance improves a lot."
Li Xiang nodded, "That's quite exciting! But Mega Stones are hard to find, especially Gengar's Mega Stone, which is almost never seen on the market."
Jiang Mo shrugged. He had obtained Gengar's Mega Stone from the Geng Gui Clan Leader of the Gengar in the Evergreen Secret Realm a long time ago.
However, he didn't tell Li Xiang about this, but instead smiled and said, "These things are hard to come by, let's take our time, there's no rush anyway."
"Yes, many Elite and even Champion-Class Trainers don't have Mega Stones. It's said that these things are few in the whole world, and those large families use Mega Stones as heirlooms, passing them down through generations."
......
The two chatted as they walked out of the communication exchange room.
Li Xiang suddenly remembered something and turned to Jiang Mo, saying, "By the way, Jiang Mo, are you interested in participating in this year's Shenzhou Alliance High School League?"
Jiang Mo raised an eyebrow, "High School League? I'm a bit interested, but I heard that freshmen generally aren't qualified to participate, right?"
Jiang Mo's main goal in coming to Kyoto University was to participate in the Shenzhou Alliance High School League. He had already inquired about the competition's information last night.
Li Xiang waved his hand, "That's how the rules are, but it's not entirely impossible."
"The school holds a selection competition for freshmen every year, and only the top three freshmen can qualify to participate in the High School League. With your strength, I think it's no problem at all!"
Jiang Mo nodded thoughtfully, "A selection competition? Sounds interesting."
Li Xiang patted Jiang Mo's shoulder, his tone carrying a hint of encouragement, "That's right! And the registration fee for the selection competition isn't expensive, it's mainly a formality. If you're interested, I can help you register."
Jiang Mo smiled, "Then I'll trouble Senior Li Xiang."
Li Xiang laughed, "It's a small matter! But Jiang Mo, I have to remind you, although the selection competition is only for freshmen, the competition is quite fierce."
"Every year, there are some exceptionally talented freshmen participating, and some have even become Superior Trainers before entering the university."
Jiang Mo nodded, his tone carrying a hint of confidence, "I understand, but I'm still confident in my strength."
Li Xiang looked at Jiang Mo, a hint of admiration flashing in his eyes, "Good! I like that confident attitude of yours. Once you pass the selection competition, we can fight side by side in the High School League!"
Jiang Mo smiled and said nothing more.
The High School League is divided into individual and team competitions. The team competition is for earning honor for their respective schools, while the individual competition is the most attractive, after all, there is only one Champion, and the legendary reward will only be given to the Champion of the individual competition.
So Jiang Mo and Li Xiang might be opponents or teammates at that time.
The two chatted for a while longer, then Li Xiang bid farewell and left.
Jiang Mo returned to his dormitory with Gengar and Pikachu and began to prepare for the upcoming selection competition.
......
The next day, Li Xiang indeed registered Jiang Mo.
The registration fee for the selection competition was indeed not expensive, only 100 Pokémon Coins. The registration fee was just a formality, mainly to screen out freshmen with real strength.
As soon as Jiang Mo walked out of the dormitory, he saw Li Xiang already waiting for him at the door.
"Jiang Mo, morning!" Li Xiang waved his hand, a smile on his face, "I've already registered you, and I've got the selection competition registration form."
Jiang Mo took the registration form and said with a smile, "Thank you, Senior Li Xiang, you've gone to a lot of trouble."
Li Xiang waved his hand, "It's a small matter! But Jiang Mo, I have to remind you, the competition for this selection competition is quite fierce. I heard that several freshmen have unusual backgrounds and are very strong."
Jiang Mo nodded, his tone carrying a hint of confidence, "I understand, but I'm still confident in my strength."
Jiang Mo and Li Xiang arrived at the drawing place and found a long line had already formed.
Freshmen gathered in twos and threes, some discussing the rules of the selection competition, and some guessing what kind of opponents they would draw.
"Looks like we'll have to wait for a while." Li Xiang looked at the line and said with a smile.
Jiang Mo nodded, just about to queue up, when he suddenly heard a commotion from the front.
"Get out of the way! Don't block the path!" An arrogant voice came from the front of the line.
Jiang Mo looked up and saw a young man with dyed yellow hair swaggering over, followed by two hangers-on.
He was wearing designer clothes, and his face showed a hint of disdain, clearly not putting the people in line in his eyes.
"Who is this person? Why is he cutting in line?" Someone in the line grumbled discontentedly.
"Shh, keep your voice down! That's Wang Sheng from the Wang family. His father is an Alliance councilor, and his family also has a Heavenly King Level Trainer. You can't afford to offend him!" The person next to him quickly pulled his sleeve and whispered a reminder.
Wang Sheng seemed to have heard the discussion, turned his head to look, and a mocking smile appeared at the corner of his mouth, "What? Not convinced? If you're so capable, find a Heavenly King Level Trainer to be your father too!"
The people in the line immediately fell silent, no one dared to speak again.
However, more people still thought that Wang Sheng was brainless, only having a good family background.
One must know that this was Kyoto University, where there were many people with extraordinary backgrounds. Who knows, one day he might hit a snag. A mere Heavenly King Level family, Kyoto has no shortage of families with backgrounds.
But Wang Sheng didn't care, instead, he smiled triumphantly and walked straight to the drawing table.
The staff member saw him and immediately showed a respectful smile, "Student Wang Sheng, you're here, please come this way."
Wang Sheng nodded, swaggered to the drawing box, casually drew a lot, and handed it to the staff member without even looking.
The staff member took the lot and announced loudly, "Wang Sheng, first battle, opponent is... Li Hao!"
A thin boy in the line heard his name, and his face instantly turned pale.
He obviously didn't expect to draw an opponent like Wang Sheng.
