Peaceful City First High School Psychological Society

Peaceful City First High School.

As the only key high school in Flat City, it had a strong faculty and outstanding students. Though not many of its graduates ultimately became Professional Trainers, compared to other schools, the number was not low.

There were no surprises this year either. Peaceful City First High School once again became a college entrance examination site.

The battle examination was the final part of the college entrance exam for key high schools, which meant that the exam had already ended.

After putting on his blue-and-white school uniform, Fang Yuan left home. He wandered around outside for a while before arriving at the school he attended.

Along the way, he saw quite a few Pokémon, though most were Caterpie, Pidgey, and the like.

The relatively rare Pokémon were all following beside people, apparently already caught.

After entering Peaceful City First High School, Fang Yuan headed straight for Comprehensive Building Room 302.

It was the activity room of a tiny club with only five members.

Fang Yuan was also a member of this club, known as the "Peaceful City First High School Psychological Society."

Before the world changed, their job had been to help students suffering from excessive academic pressure work through their psychological issues, under the guidance of their supervising teacher.

Of course, students nowadays had strong self-esteem. Even if they were under a little pressure, they would not come to a place like this for counseling just because they had nothing better to do. As a result, the few of them had plenty of free time.

However, according to his memories, things were a little different now.

Their club was actually responsible for mediating relationship problems between students and their Pokémon...

And apparently, their weekly workload was not small. If most of the work had not been handled by their supervising teacher, they might not even have had time to attend class.

"Huh... Senior, you didn't go home?"

Fang Yuan casually pushed the door, only to find it unlocked. When he looked inside, he immediately recognized the girl in blue denim shorts and a white short-sleeved shirt.

She was the senior who had chatted with him before, the upperclassman who had personally guided him and taught him plenty of useful experience after he joined the club.

Beside her was a Persian yawning, looking exhausted.

Since it was the day of the college entrance exam, she was not wearing her school uniform, and she looked much prettier than usual.

"Fang Yuan?"

"No... Teacher Li delivered the materials for this year's Breeder examination at noon. I wanted to take them home and look them over," Senior Tang Ying said.

"Breeder examination materials? The latest ones?!"

"Mm. Do you want to take a look?"

Pokémon Breeders were another path available to Ordinary Trainers.

Most Trainers who did not enjoy battling but liked raising Pokémon chose to obtain a Breeder license and specialize in Pokémon cultivation.

The status of a Professional Breeder was no lower than that of a Professional Trainer. There was a popular saying online: behind every successful Trainer was a Breeder silently supporting them. That alone showed the significance of Breeders.

Many large Pokémon-related companies also liked hiring Breeders to care for Pokémon.

Most importantly, unlike Professional Trainers, Breeders did not need to fulfill corresponding obligations and struggle for survival in dangerous places such as Secret Realms. Their lives were extremely comfortable.

Mediating the relationship between Pokémon and Trainers was actually one of the many required subjects for Breeders.

Members of the "Peaceful City First High School Psychological Society," like Fang Yuan and the others, were somewhat like Breeders simplified a hundredfold.

That was precisely why the members of the "Peaceful City First High School Psychological Society" paid close attention to the profession of Breeder.

The Breeder Association's national examination was held every year shortly before the college entrance exam. After the exam ended, that was also when first-hand examination materials began to circulate.

After their Psychology Club supervisor, Teacher Li, got hold of the materials, he delivered them to them immediately.

Fang Yuan reached out, took the test paper Senior Tang Ying handed him, and began reading.

"I wonder how many extra points the knowledge from the Pokémon series in my head can get me..."

It was clear from Fang Yuan's name that he had quite a deep connection to PM. He was still very confident when it came to sharing unique insights.

Question One: What did Beldum primarily rely on to control its movements?

Fang Yuan: "???"

Psychic Power?

After glancing at the answer, Fang Yuan's face darkened. Why the hell was it Magnet Pull...

Pass, pass, pass.

Then came the second question: What was the optimal incubation temperature for a Swablu Pokémon Egg? Question marks appeared over Fang Yuan's head. How the hell was he supposed to know that?

Why not test Evolution Forms, types, move sets, or something...

By the time he reached the essay questions, he simply gave up.

Analysis [image attached]: The white areas on Marill's cheeks have turned light green, and it is showing extreme pain. How should this be handled?

Take it to the Pokémon Center? If it was sick, it should obediently see a doctor.

Even so, Fang Yuan knew that answer definitely would not earn any points. The long string of complicated analytical steps afterward made his head spin.

There were other questions too.

How could a Meowth be taught one of the following moves? Please select one and answer—

Thunderbolt, Shadow Ball, Dark Pulse, Double Team, Water Pulse...

Use a TM? Slap it on its head, and it would understand immediately.

Bullshit. How could something like that exist in reality?

"These are the examination questions for this year's Breeders?" Fang Yuan raised his head. This was demonic. Knowledge from the anime and games was completely useless.

"Yes, they're very easy, right?" Seeing Fang Yuan's expression, Senior Tang Ying smiled. "I heard this year's Written Examination is the easiest one in five years. The hard part is the two practical examinations afterward. I heard they're simply impossible for normal people to pass."

"Stop, stop, stop..." Fang Yuan hurriedly cut her off. "I don't want to know the details. Forget about being a Breeder. As expected, I still want to become a Professional Trainer."

"I knew you would say that. You may be the only person in our Psychology Club who doesn't want to become a Breeder and wants to become a Professional Trainer instead." Senior Tang Ying said strangely, "After the four of us graduate, you'll be the president of the Psychology Club. Honestly, I'm really not at ease leaving the club to you."

"Teacher Li has been busy this year, so the club hasn't recruited many new members. Don't let it get shut down when school starts next year."

"Don't worry. When school starts, I'll recruit a group of capable classmates to help out." Fang Yuan made an OK gesture.

"That's enough for me. By the way, you need to work hard from here on out. The pressure for this year's battle examination is still pretty high. If there's anything you don't understand, you can ask me." Senior Tang Ying said.

Among Peaceful City First High School's graduates each year, only a small number could get into key universities. Among them were top students like Senior Tang Ying, and only a small portion of those students could become Professional Trainers. Fang Yuan's dream was not an easy one.

"I will."

Fang Yuan smiled faintly. After accepting those memories, he had already accepted reality...

Those who could join the Psychology Club were all relatively cheerful and strong-willed people, and Fang Yuan was no exception. Once he decided on something, he would definitely devote himself to it seriously.

Besides, his family had spent so much money to send him to a key high school and help him register as a Trainer. If he still did not work hard, it would truly be indefensible. His family was not particularly well-off, and Fang Yuan did not want to disappoint his parents' expectations.

Even if the world had not changed, he would still have needed to work hard during his final year of high school.

What was more, as he learned more about it, he had genuinely begun to like this new world. He could hardly wait to obtain his first Pokémon.
