CHAPTER 96
096 5V5 Competition! Breeder Pokémon Law, Induction
"Seven zeros?"
Qin Yun's eyes widened in shock. Seven zeros meant the prize was 10 million Pokémon dollars?
He swallowed hard. It wasn't the ten million that stunned him it was what would happen when his system multiplied it by a thousand.
"How much is a thousand times ten million?"
His hands trembled slightly as he did the math.
"Ten times ten million is a hundred million… a hundred times is a billion… and a thousand times is…"
His breath quickened.
"That's 10 billion Pokémon dollars."
For Qin Yun, this was an astronomical amount. If he could secure the prize, it would change everything.
Taking a deep breath, he carefully read through the competition details.

[Competition Overview]
Organizer: Yu Rong Group
First-place Prize: 10 million Pokémon dollars
Additional Reward: Winning team will represent Yu Rong Group in a national group competition with potential for even greater rewards.
Requirements: Trainers must have been licensed for less than three years (Rookie Trainer level).
Battle Format: 5v5 team battle
Each team consists of five trainers.
Each trainer can only use one Pokémon.
All ten Pokémon battle simultaneously in a large-scale melee.
The first team to have all five Pokémon knocked out loses.

"5v5 Team Battle?"
Qin Yun's eyes narrowed.
This battle format had only been introduced the previous year, primarily for college and academy-level tournaments. He hadn't expected to see it in an open competition so soon.
It was a different kind of challenge.
"In a 1v1 battle, I'd be confident. But a 5v5 melee? That's tricky."
He frowned slightly. Finding teammates for a competition like this wouldn't be easy.
---
"Who Should I Team Up With?"
His first thought was Ma Tao.
"With Ma Tao, that makes two of us."
Then he remembered Douzi another strong trainer he knew.
"If Douzi joins, that's three."
But that still left two more spots.
Finding competent teammates was crucial. If they weren't strong enough, he'd basically be fighting five opponents alone.
Even Ma Tao who was talented was only ranked in the top 20 among first-years at Yongji University. That wasn't enough to carry the team, especially against second-year students or elite academy graduates.
"I can't solo a 5v5 against top-tier trainers. But… 10 billion Pokémon dollars?"
He clenched his fists.
"Even if it's difficult, I have to try."
Even splitting the prize five ways, each member would receive 2 billion Pokémon dollars. That kind of money would be game-changing.
With Pokémon food, training resources, evolution items, and competitive equipment, money determined a trainer's future.
Qin Yun made his decision.
"Tomorrow, I'll talk to Ma Tao and Douzi."
If they couldn't find suitable teammates…
"I'll just hire strong trainers to join us."

Competition Analysis
He analyzed the potential threats.
The second-place prize was 1 million Pokémon dollars. Even third place got 500,000. The top 8 teams still earned 200,000 as a "friendship bonus."
"If I can't take first place, I must at least aim for top three."
Yu Rong City wasn't a major metropolitan area, and Yu Rong Group while large was only a 100-billion-dollar company.
That was good news.
"The prize pool isn't high enough to attract the strongest prodigies from top-tier cities."
If this were a national competition in Saffron City, Goldenrod City, or Celadon City, he'd likely be outclassed.
But in Yu Rong City, his odds were realistic.
Still, team synergy mattered.
"If we run into a weather-based team like a Sandstorm team built around Tyranitar we're in trouble."
A properly built team could crush uncoordinated opponents, no matter how strong individual Pokémon were.
---
Restless Night
Qin Yun tossed and turned, unable to sleep. The thought of 10 billion Pokémon dollars kept replaying in his mind.
It was life-changing wealth.
He didn't finally doze off until 3 or 4 AM.
---
Morning Chaos
He was rudely awakened by Pokémon cries.
Blinking the sleep from his eyes, he saw a chaotic scene:
Heracross was holding Larvitar in the air.
Larvitar squirmed desperately, crying out in distress.
Kirlia was waving her arms, trying to mediate.
Qin Yun sat up quickly.
"Heracross, put Larvitar down."
Heracross excitedly pointed at a wet spot on his finger shell.
"…Saliva?"
It clicked.
Larvitar must have drooled on Heracross in her sleep.
Heracross was obsessively clean one of his quirks.
"That's why he's mad…"
Qin Yun sighed in relief. At least it wasn't an actual fight.
To distract Heracross, he pulled out an Active Cube a special high-energy Pokémon snack.
"Here, buddy."
Heracross immediately dropped Larvitar and rushed over, happily accepting the treat.
Qin Yun chuckled. Food always worked.
---
Calming Larvitar
Larvitar sniffled.
She had been having a dream a wonderful dream about eating something delicious.
Then, bam she was lifted into the air and yanked out of her dream.
For a newborn Pokémon, this was traumatic.
Qin Yun knelt down, making sure his eyes were level with Larvitar's.
This was an important detail in Pokémon care lowering himself to their level made them feel safer.
"You hungry?" he asked gently.
Larvitar nodded, sniffling pitifully.
Qin Yun didn't scold her.
Newborn Pokémon didn't understand mistakes yet. Instead of reprimanding, he chose to redirect.
He pulled out another Active Cube.
"Here, eat this."
Larvitar's eyes lit up.
She grabbed the treat eagerly, her previous distress forgotten.
Qin Yun smiled. With young Pokémon, patience and proper guidance were key.
---
Final Thoughts
With his Pokémon settled, Qin Yun refocused.
"This tournament… I have to win."
If he played his cards right, his entire career as a trainer would be set.
And if he failed?
Well… that wasn't an option.
He clenched his fists.
Tomorrow, the real preparation would begin.
