Upon seeing the astonished expression on Alex's face, Bruce was slightly surprised.
However, this was a field military training, not a real battlefield, and each student was engaged in a healthy competitive relationship, not a destructive rivalry.
After experiencing an incident in the Green River Forest, Bruce had specially trained his surveillance skills. In particular, during his battles with Combusken, he always kept an eye on his surroundings to avoid being secretly spied on or ambushed by other Pokémon.
Bruce had already noticed that Alex was hiding in the shadows, staying silent all this time, likely just wanting to see what Alex would do.
But when Alex was about to leave without looking back, Bruce stopped him.
Seeing that Bruce's expression did not seem false, Alex Brown was taken aback for a moment, then struggled and said, "Buddy, thank you for your kindness."
"But I really entered this place without intending to bother you."
He paused for a moment before continuing, "Thank you for your concern, I also have a suitable camp."
"That's it, goodbye."
As soon as the words were spoken, Alex quickly waved at Bruce and then left without looking back.
Only Bruce remained stunned.
And after Alex had completely moved away, Alex Brown stopped and stood there, out of breath.
"My father once said that the principle of our villain school is to be cautious, prudent, calm, and serene."
"When facing strangers, keep a safe distance and distrust their insinuations."
"Even if it's just field military training, I must implement this purpose."
"Be careful, and live long."
Having said that, his face changed slightly, and then he whispered, "No!"
"I wasn't careful enough!"
"I was still found under the cover of darkness, which shows that I wasn't cautious enough in some aspects."
"Caution! Caution! Caution!"
...
Seeing the figure of the strange boy leaving, Bruce scratched his head, really unable to understand what was going on with this guy.
"Forget it, rest well and strive to reach the Professional level tomorrow," he thought, settling down.
He set up his tent and slept in his sleeping bag. The night was calm, with the cold light of the moon shining.
The next day, early morning.
Bruce and Combusken quickly finished their breakfast and began the leveling journey for the day.
Before leaving, Bruce took a special look at the leaderboard, and as expected, today's ranking was still very fierce.
Instead, the first and second places had swapped positions. It seemed that the two had been fighting each other for some time.
And as the day went on successfully, he earned an additional 50 survival points.
"Shouldn't someone be eliminated on the first day?" Bruce thought.
Not long after, the first prey of the day appeared in front of Bruce.
This was a Pokémon similar to a spider, with a red and black abdomen, two pairs of yellow and purple legs, and purple eyes that observed Combusken in silence.
Pokémon: Ariados (Bug/Poison)
Ability: Insect Precognition
Qualification: Occupation
Level: Lv27 (Senior)
This Ariados was a high-grade Pokémon, a small surprise for the new day.
"Well then, I'll give you a gift," murmured Bruce softly.
He immediately extended his arms and shouted, "Flamethrower!"
Combusken!
Combusken opened its mouth, and orange flames surged as a thick column of fire quickly gathered, blasting towards Ariados with a strong explosion!
The flames were fierce and fast, reaching Ariados almost in the blink of an eye.
Ariados tried to dodge, but found that no matter what it did, it couldn't avoid the attack, as its reaction speed couldn't keep up with the rapid response of its nerves.
Well, this is probably the status quo of many players.
BOOM!
Ariados was completely engulfed by the Flamethrower, and the heat spread, with flames burning everywhere!
When the flames dissipated, Ariados was blackened and fell to the ground.
Ariados, being doubly vulnerable to fire, and with [Flamethrower] being Combusken's most competent ability, it was normal for it to be knocked out in one blow.
After defeating Ariados, Bruce glanced at Combusken's experience points, and it was still halfway to leveling up.
"Alright, continue!"
...
Several hours later,
Afternoon,
In an open space.
Combusken faced a muscular Machoke, and only a small amount of experience remained for it to level up.
At this point, Combusken had already moved up to third place, just 110 points behind second place, held by Azalea Pércovich.
Bruce couldn't help but sigh. "The first and second places are true monsters accumulating points. Either they've been summing points 24/7 or they're lucky enough to walk a few steps and find a high-level Pokémon."
Fortunately, Bruce had been lucky and had only taken half a day to surpass several others and reach third place.
At that moment, the powerful Machoke stood before Combusken, covered in scars and already suffering greatly from the battle.
A brave warrior, Machoke dared to attack despite its injuries.
With a low growl and firm eyes, it charged at Combusken with large strides, its palms becoming hand knives, bursting with intense white light as they slashed towards Combusken!
Karate Chop!
"Combusken!" In front of the majestic Machoke, Combusken showed no fear. Its eyes froze, and its right palm also turned into a blade, facing Machoke head-on!
Brick Break!
BOOM!
In an instant, the palms of the two Pokémon collided in a clash of strength and power.
As for strength, Machoke had never feared anyone. After thousands of temperings, it had cultivated the perfect figure, and its strength had reached its peak after countless polishings!
But this time, it met a tough opponent.
Machoke gritted its teeth, its muscles tightened, veins bulging, and its face fierce. It exhausted all its strength, but still couldn't push Combusken back.
Instead, it felt an enormous force running towards it, like a massive rock rolling with a thunderous roar, crushing it instantly.
Machoke's knee buckled, and the next second, its figure swayed, taking several steps back.
Combusken seized the opportunity, surrounded by flames, and charged towards Machoke!
BOOM!
This time, Machoke fell to the ground, its eyes spinning.
Looking at Machoke, who had fallen, Bruce shook his head.
"It's not that Combusken is too strong…"
"It's that you're wounded and can't exert all your strength."
In short, after defeating this Machoke, Combusken's experience points finally surpassed the critical point and it was promoted to the next level.
Professional Class!!!
