After packing their belongings, the group followed Lu Jiyin out of the lounge.
Lu Jiyin's car, a luxurious extended limousine, was parked outside the arena.
Seeing Lu Jiyin emerge, the driver immediately got out and opened the car door for him.
"Da Shao Lu, you certainly have quite the entourage," Li Xiang said with a chuckle, teasing him.
Lu Jiyin waved his hand, a hint of helplessness in his tone: "I can't help it, it's arranged by the family. I actually prefer to keep a low profile, but they insist on doing this."
Jiang Mo smiled. Although Lu Jiyin was from an aristocratic family, he had a straightforward personality and didn't like putting on airs. However, sometimes he did enjoy showing off a bit in front of his friends.
......
The group got into the car, which slowly drove towards the hotel.
Upon arriving at the hotel, Lu Jiyin led them directly to the luxurious suite on the top floor.
The suite was opulently decorated with an excellent view, overlooking the entire nightscape of the capital city through its floor-toceiling windows.
"Wow, Da Shao Lu, your treatment is too good!" Li Xiang exclaimed.
Lu Jiyin smiled, a touch of pride in his tone: "Of course. I'm a VIP client here. You guys can stay here for the next few days. Just let me know if you need anything."
Jiang Mo looked around the room, secretly sighing with emotion.
Lu Jiyin's financial power was indeed immense; an ordinary person probably couldn't afford to stay in such a luxurious suite for a lifetime.
"Da Shao Lu, thank you so much," Jiang Mo said sincerely.
Lu Jiyin waved his hand, a hint of generosity in his tone: "Don't be polite, we're all friends. Besides, if you do well in the competition, I'll also look good!"
After they settled in, Lu Jiyin took them to the hotel's restaurant.
A lavish dinner was already prepared in the restaurant, with a dazzling array of delicious dishes that made one's mouth water.
"Come on, everyone, don't be shy, eat whatever you like!" Lu Jiyin said with a smile.
The group sat down and began to enjoy the meal.
During the meal, they chatted about the competition.
"Jiang Mo, I heard from Da Shao Lu that your performance in today's competition was very exciting."
Li Xiang said with a smile, "Eevee swept three again, it's practically invincible!"
Jiang Mo smiled and said, "It was alright, mainly because the opponent's strength wasn't too strong, so Eevee handled it quite easily."
Wu Teng nodded, a hint of admiration in his tone: "Jiang Mo's strength is indeed very strong, especially that Eevee, it's practically an all-rounder."
"No matter what Pokémon the opponent sends out, Eevee can handle it with ease."
Lu Jiyin also said with a smile: "Yes, Big Cousin's Eevee is truly amazing. I even want to capture an Eevee, but unfortunately, Big Cousin's Eevee is one-of-a-kind."
Jiang Mo smiled and didn't say much more.
......
Over the next two days, Jiang Mo successfully completed his remaining three matches.
As the opponents' strength was generally not too strong, Jiang Mo decided to let Swampert, Sliggoo, and Eevee take turns participating to accumulate some real combat experience.
Swampert and Sliggoo also performed excellently, each securing two victories, while Eevee once again demonstrated its formidable strength in the final match, easily completing the feat of sweeping three opponents.
Ultimately, Jiang Mo successfully advanced as the group leader, entering the ranking matches.
After the match, as soon as Jiang Mo returned to the lounge, he saw Li Xiang rushing in.
"Jiang Mo, are you done with your matches? Do you want to go watch Elisa's match?" Li Xiang asked excitedly, with a hint of anticipation in his tone.
Jiang Mo was stunned for a moment, then realized: "Elisa? You mean the president of the Psychic Power Club? Is she also participating in the preliminaries?"
Li Xiang nodded and explained: "Yes, although Elisa is the president of the Psychic Power Club, as an exchange student from the Europa Alliance, she hasn't participated in the Shenzhou Alliance High School League before, so she needs to go through the normal selection process to enter the ranking matches."
Jiang Mo was somewhat surprised: "Isn't she very strong? Why does she still need to play in the preliminaries?"
Li Xiang smiled, a hint of teasing in his tone: "No matter how strong she is, she still has to follow the rules. However, when Elisa first came to the Shenzhou Alliance, she boldly declared that she would win the Champion trophy of this High School League, and many people believe she has that ability."
Jiang Mo nodded, his interest in Elisa's strength growing intensely.
As the president of the Psychic Power Club, Elisa's strength should absolutely not be underestimated.
If he could watch her match in person, he might be able to gather some useful information, considering it a chance to get an early understanding of his competitors.
"Okay, I'll go watch."
Jiang Mo said, then turned to Lu Jiyin beside him, "Da Shao Lu, do you want to come along?"
Lu Jiyin was sitting on the sofa playing a mobile game. Hearing Jiang Mo's words, he immediately looked up: "Elisa's match? Of course I'm going! I heard she's incredibly strong, so it's a good chance to see for myself."
Li Xiang said with a smile: "Then let's go, the match is about to start, we'll miss it if we're late."
The three quickly left the lounge and headed towards Elisa's match venue.
Along the way, Li Xiang enthusiastically introduced Elisa's background to Jiang Mo and Lu Jiyin.
"Elisa comes from the royal family of the Europa Alliance, and she awakened Psychic at birth, since then demonstrating astonishing Psychic talent. Oh, and she's also a princess."
Li Xiang raised an eyebrow and continued: "Her Pokémon are all Psychic-type, and combined with her Psychic, their combat power is terrifying."
Lu Jiyin nodded, a hint of curiosity in his tone: "I heard her main Pokémon is an Alakazam, and its strength has reached the Elite Four Level. Is that true?"
Li Xiang smiled, a hint of mystery in his tone: "I don't know if it's Elite Four Level, but her Alakazam is indeed very strong."
"It's said that when she was in the Europa Alliance, she once challenged an Elite Four Level Trainer one-on-one, and the result was that Elisa easily defeated that Elite Four Level Trainer. From this, it seems her Alakazam should be Elite Four Level."
Listening to Li Xiang's introduction, Jiang Mo gained a deeper understanding of Elisa's strength.
He knew that Psychic-type Pokémon were already known for their powerful mental abilities and peculiar fighting styles. If combined with Elisa's own Psychic assistance, their combat power should absolutely not be underestimated.
By the time the three arrived at the match venue, Elisa's match had already begun.
On the field, Elisa was suspended in the air, her feet off the ground. Her long, straight legs were gently encased in translucent white lace with delicate patterns.
Most notably, her feet were bare, without shoes.
And her beautiful golden hair, like a waterfall, flowed smoothly behind her shoulders, gently swaying with the breeze, making it impossible to look away.
At this moment, Elisa was commanding her Alakazam to battle against her opponent's Blaziken.
