You can pick any one of the starter Pokémon. Jiang Chen can also pick a starter Pokémon. Although he has already been promised a pseudo-legendary, there's no need to be stingy about a mere starter Pokémon.

Jiang Chen chose Bulbasaur.

He already had Squirtle as a Water-type Pokémon, and he would soon get a Charmander for a Fire-type, so Jiang Chen opted for a Grass-type. After much deliberation, he chose Bulbasaur. Although it becomes a bit ugly after evolving into Venusaur, it's strong defensively and offensively. It has no major strengths, but also no major weaknesses.

After Mega Evolution, with the Thick Fat ability, Fire and Ice types are no longer a threat to Venusaur. Mega Venusaur is only weak to Flying and Psychic types.

Ling Wanqiu chose Treecko.

Treecko, after evolving into Sceptile, is incredibly fast, and its Special Attack isn't low. However, if its Special Attack and Attack were swapped, it might be even stronger. With Sceptile's speed advantage, a high Attack stat in reality would allow it to maximize its potential, developing into an assassin-like role.

After Wu Hongzhen settled the compensation, the other side of the matter also concluded.

Zhao Xiao was forcibly taken away by Jiang Yuan.

As for Zhao Sheng's dignity as a Heavenly King, since Jiang Yuan had already crippled one of his Pokémon, he wouldn't care about giving him face.

As for how Zhao Xiao would be dealt with later, Jiang Chen wasn't concerned. He didn't believe his protective father would let Zhao Xiao off.

Watching Jiang Yuan take Zhao Xiao away, Zhao Sheng was furious but dared not speak. If he started another conflict with Jiang Yuan now, his remaining Pokémon would probably also be crippled.

He could only endure this anger. He had to go back and find other ways to rescue Zhao Xiao. He had only this one son, and he absolutely couldn't let anything happen to Zhao Xiao.

As Zhao Sheng was about to leave, his face grim, he was stopped by Wu Hongzhen.

"Heavenly King Zhao, please compensate for the Imperial Capital Elf Academy's losses."

"What do you mean? Wasn't the destruction here caused by Jiang Yuan's son?" Zhao Sheng stared at Wu Hongzhen, his face sinking.

He finally understood. They were picking on the weak, weren't they?

"All of this started because of your elder brother and your son. Because of them, Imperial Capital Elf Academy not only suffered damage but also lost all its reputation. Do you think I should ask you for compensation?"

That's right, Wu Hongzhen was picking on the weak. Jiang Yuan and Jiang Chen were not to be trifled with, and he truly couldn't provoke them.

They had Champion-level Pokémon, and their fists were indeed bigger.

But when it came to Zhao Sheng, Wu Hongzhen was not afraid of him at all.

Moreover, this matter was indeed caused by Zhao Qiang and Zhao Xiao, so asking Zhao Sheng for compensation was not wrong.

"Fine, I'll compensate."

Zhao Sheng glared at Wu Hongzhen with angry eyes for a long time.

Wu Hongzhen could see Zhao Sheng's anger, but he wasn't afraid at all. Zhao Sheng couldn't threaten him. Even if it were Jiang Yuan, he wouldn't be afraid if the other party was in the wrong.

"I hope Heavenly King Zhao can compensate quickly. Imperial Capital Elf Academy is still waiting to be rebuilt."

Looking at the damaged area, Wu Hongzhen felt a pang in his heart. Conservatively estimated, the losses amounted to over ten billion.

The only fortunate thing was that there were no casualties.

Online, news of this incident spread directly, and Imperial Capital Elf Academy's reputation plummeted.

Fortunately, they had agreed to compensate Jiang Chen with a pseudo-legendary. Otherwise, Jiang Chen might have added fuel to the fire, making it burn even brighter, ensuring that even Imperial Capital Elf Academy's connections couldn't suppress it.

Imperial Capital Elf Academy definitely needed a scapegoat at this time. Undoubtedly, Director Zhao Qiang was the most suitable.

In fact, there was no need to even say "scapegoat"; it was already his fault.

"You'll definitely participate in the New Trainer Tournament, right? I'll get my revenge then."

Xiao Luoxue said this to Jiang Chen, then scoffed and left with a graceful, dashing figure.

Jiang Chen's gaze flickered towards Ling Wanqiu.

"Why are you looking at me?"

"I feel like her words sound a lot like yours."

"You're teasing me, aren't you?" Ling Wanqiu picked up her backpack and threw it at Jiang Chen.

"Do you guys want to stay in Imperial Capital for a few days?"

Old Zhang asked Jiang Chen and the others.

"Can we?" Wang Xin asked Old Zhang.

"Of course, you can. This will be your reward for winning. I just need to apply to the principal."

Old Zhang was in a good mood at this moment.

Although this friendship exchange match had been full of twists and turns, and not at all friendly, even tearing down the opponent's school, they had still won.

At least this year, Tianhai Elf Academy was stronger than Imperial Capital Elf Academy.

The principal, in his joy, had promised to give Old Zhang a raise and promote him to a director position when he returned.

This was a direct promotion and a windfall.

"Actually, I didn't contribute anything to this competition. I feel embarrassed to take the reward," Qian Le said, scratching his head awkwardly.

He and Wang Xin hadn't even participated, yet they won. They were completely carried.

"If you're embarrassed to take the reward, you can give it to me. I'm thick-skinned."

Wang Xin said to Qian Le.

"I can tell, you are indeed thick-skinned."

Jiang Chen returned the backpack Ling Wanqiu had thrown at him, then said, "I have no objections. If you want to tour Imperial Capital for a few days, that's fine."

In fact, Jiang Chen had been to Imperial Capital many times. In his eyes, Imperial Capital was no different from Tianhai City.

However, Ling Wanqiu and the others were more interested, so they decided to stay in Imperial Capital for a few days.

"If you don't mind, you can stay at my place."

Jiang Chen said to them.

"Your place?" Ling Wanqiu's face showed doubt.

"I have a villa here that I don't usually live in much. If you don't mind, we can stay there for the next couple of days."

"I almost forgot, Young Master Jiang, you're also a rich second-generation heir."

Ling Wanqiu teased him.

"There are no poor people among us, okay?"

Jiang Chen spread his hands.

None of their families were simple.

"Then we won't be polite with Young Master Jiang."

Their relationship had been good during this period, so they didn't stand on ceremony with Jiang Chen.

Arriving at Jiang Chen's villa in Imperial Capital, it wasn't empty. There was a butler and maids taking care of it.

"Wow, it's so big!"

Wang Xin exclaimed, looking at the courtyard. Although her family wasn't bad, the area of this courtyard was three times that of her family's villa.

"Young Master, dinner has been prepared for you," the butler said to Jiang Chen.

"Good, thank you."

Feeling a bit hungry, Jiang Chen took Ling Wanqiu and the others to enjoy a grand meal.
