• Fang Yuan and Eevee returned home and saw Magnemite hovering for the first time.
• Fang Yuan checked Magnemite’s Awakening Power and concluded it had mastered the move well enough to fly without its Thunder Wave being greatly disrupted.

Fang Yuan, Magnemite, and Eevee resumed making Energy Cubes and discovered that electricity could solidify and refine the fruit puree. Their latest Black Energy Cube looked successful, but Eevee found it disgusting when it tasted it.

• Fang Yuan trained Magnemite to improve its Thunder Wave and Awakening Power so it could fly faster and control its ability to damage electronic devices.
• Fang Yuan enlisted Magnemite and Eevee to restart Energy Cube production, with Eevee operating the blender.

• Fang Yuan realized electricity could solidify the puree and remove impurities, and the group produced a better-looking Black Energy Cube.
• Fang Yuan offered the cube to Eevee, which swallowed it and found it disgusting.

Fang Yuan documented the key steps in making Energy Cubes but postponed further attempts because his equipment could not produce food good enough for his Pokémon. Meanwhile, the attention surrounding his discovery of Anticipation led the Peaceful City Trainer Association to plan rewards and support, including approval for him to catch another Pokémon.

• Fang Yuan recorded four Energy Cube production principles and concluded that precise machinery and extensive experimentation were needed to make high-quality cubes.

• Yang Han and Zhuang Xin concluded that Fang Yuan was too strong to train alongside Lin Jing and Liu Le, and planned to select two other Rookie Trainers for the New Star Plan.

Two and a half months later, Fang Yuan had received permission to catch a second Pokémon and added Magnemite to his team. As winter vacation began, he planned independent training for Eevee and Magnemite, hoping to master Shadow Ball and Reflect while using his new Energy Cubes to improve their Psychic Power.

• Fang Yuan chose Li Lu, a Rookie Trainer with a Tangela, as a suitable opponent for Magnemite.
• Fang Yuan and Li Lu introduced themselves and sent Magnemite and Tangela onto the Battle Arena.

• The student explained that visitors had to register small Pokémon and that Renmin University volunteers earned credits that could be used for training facilities and equipment.

Fang Yuan toured Renmin University and learned about its Charging Room, prompting him to seek a similar facility for Magnemite and consider visiting Didu University. After the tour, he and Eevee sampled Didu’s famous snacks, ending with Eevee enjoying Aiwowo.

• Fang Yuan registered at Renmin University and released Eevee, whose unimpressed reaction puzzled the bespectacled senior.
• The senior recommended Jolteon and showed Fang Yuan Renmin University’s Charging Room, which could provide specialized Electric-type training.
• Fang Yuan asked about charging facilities outside campus, and the senior mentioned costly Training Halls and suggested that Didu University might let visiting Rookie Trainers try some facilities.

• After touring Renmin University, Fang Yuan and Eevee bought Didu’s famous snacks, and Fang Yuan photographed Eevee enjoying Aiwowo.

Fang Yuan visited Didu University and learned about its extensive Pokémon training facilities. He entered the Gravity Training Ground with Magnemite, which prepared to test its Thunder Wave against increasing gravity.

• Fang Yuan showed Director Liu Changwei his letter of introduction from the Peaceful City Trainer Association, and Guide Wei took him on a tour of Didu University.

• Eevee and Fang Yuan watched in surprise as the elderly administrator praised Magnemite's breakthrough.

Fang Yuan toured Didu University, where the training facilities strengthened his resolve to apply, then chose the Rain Cloud Training Hall to help Magnemite learn Thunderbolt. The chapter ended with the receptionist quoting an 888-yuan examination fee before the hall would reveal the training price.

• Fang Yuan took Eevee and Magnemite around Didu University's facilities after Magnemite comprehended a new move in the Gravity Room.
• Eevee became excited by the university's E-sports Room and movie theater, while the visit convinced Fang Yuan to make Didu University his first application choice pending a visit to Modu University.

• The receptionist said Magnemite needed an 888-yuan physical examination before the hall could assess the Charge package's price, leaving Fang Yuan wary of a costly trap.

After Magnemite learned Thunderbolt at the Rain Cloud Training Hall, Fang Yuan considered ways to develop its Steel-type moves and prepared to leave the Imperial Capital. He arrived in Magic City with Eevee and planned to visit Modu University the next day, where Eevee was supposed to practice Reflect with Magnemite.

Fang Yuan visited Magic University to experience its Haunted House training facility and encountered Lin Sen, whom he had defeated in the Little Phoenix King Cup. Director Qi recognized Fang Yuan as the tournament champion and arranged for him to join a group of talented Rookie Trainers for a special Haunted House session.

• Fang Yuan learned that Magic University's Haunted House was open to Rookie Trainers and went to the external affairs building to seek an earlier experience slot.
• Director Qi proposed gathering the Rookie Trainers with letters of introduction for a group Haunted House challenge and possible evaluation by Magic University.

• Fang Yuan asked Director Qi if both of his Pokémon could experience the Haunted House, and Director Qi agreed to let them enter together.
• Director Qi led Fang Yuan and the other Trainers to the north entrance, where Teacher Zhou Youyou explained that only the Pokémon would enter while their Trainers watched backstage.
• Fang Yuan persuaded Eevee to enter by promising to watch horror movies with it later, while Magnemite eagerly accepted the challenge.
• Teacher Zhou Youyou brought the Trainers backstage and explained that staff would retrieve any Pokémon scared unconscious.
• Lin Sen said he did not know how freshmen's Pokémon usually performed, and Teacher Zhou Youyou said most panicked on their first visit.
• The screen turned on and showed a girl's Tyrogue rolling on the ground in terror, prompting Fang Yuan to wonder how Eevee and Magnemite were doing.

Eevee and Magnemite entered the Haunted House together, but Eevee turned the frightening props into disguises so they could pose as staff and scare others. They startled Xiaomeng, a Misdreavus waiting to frighten challengers.

• Eevee stopped Magnemite from opening a door at random, then chose an unopened door and persuaded Magnemite to accompany it.
• Eevee prevented Magnemite from attacking a noisy speaker and led it deeper into the Haunted House.

• Xiaomeng hid in a mirror, but panicked when Eevee and Magnemite entered disguised as a bleeding floating head and a hair-covered monster.

Fang Yuan's Eevee and Magnemite vanished from the Haunted House cameras while the other Trainers' Pokémon were quickly overcome by Ghost-type tricks. They were discovered chatting with the Haunted House Pokémon, and Eevee learned to form a Shadow Ball before Misdreavus showed them a shortcut out.

• Tyrogue fell for a Dusknoir illusion, while Lin Sen's Ivysaur resisted Hypnosis by breathing in its own Sweet Scent.
• A Sableye frightened a Vulpix unconscious with Astonish, and only five of the eleven Pokémon remained in the challenge.
• Teacher Zhou Youyou and Director Qi realized that Fang Yuan's Eevee and Magnemite had not appeared on the screens and called the staff to investigate.
• A staff member showed them Eevee and Magnemite chatting with Misdreavus and Shuppet instead of clearing the Haunted House.
• With Misdreavus's guidance, Eevee formed a Shadow Ball, and Misdreavus shared a shortcut out with Eevee and Magnemite.
• Fang Yuan decided not to call his Pokémon back yet, wondering whether they could learn from the next Ghost-type Pokémon.

Eevee learned Shadow Ball during the Haunted House challenge, and Fang Yuan began thinking about how to develop a stronger spiral version of the move. After the challenge, Teacher Zhou Youyou asked Fang Yuan to show her Eevee's Shadow Ball, and Eevee sensed that she was unusually dangerous.

• Eevee and Magnemite easily cleared the Haunted House, gathering horror props and befuddling its Ghost-type Pokémon until Teacher Zhou Youyou ordered the challenge stopped.
• Fang Yuan collected Eevee and Magnemite and considered how Shadow Ball would improve Eevee's options against Psychic- and Ghost-type Pokémon.
• Fang Yuan thought of using high-speed rotation to create a more powerful Spiral Shadow Ball and help Eevee become familiar with Ghost-type energy.
• Teacher Zhou Youyou asked Fang Yuan to meet her after the Haunted House experience, then asked whether Eevee had learned Shadow Ball and requested a demonstration.
• Eevee appeared from its Poké Ball, sensed that Teacher Zhou Youyou felt like a dangerous Pokémon, and lowered its gaze.

Teacher Zhou Youyou discovered that Eevee’s Shadow Ball was unstable and arranged for Gengar to teach it how to use the move correctly. Fang Yuan questioned whether Ghost-type energy could be reshaped and, despite Zhou Youyou’s doubts, devised a plan to combine Eevee and its Substitute’s control of a Shadow Ball.

• Eevee formed a Shadow Ball that Gengar swallowed, prompting Teacher Zhou Youyou to conclude that Eevee had not fully mastered the move.
• At the Battle Arena, Eevee’s Shadow Balls exploded soon after forming or while flying toward Gengar, revealing that their internal energy was unstable.
• Gengar demonstrated a stable Shadow Ball, and Teacher Zhou Youyou explained that it needed a stable structure to deal damage and erode an opponent’s energy.
• Teacher Zhou Youyou assigned Gengar to train Eevee and explained to Fang Yuan that reshaping Ghost-type energy was only theoretical for now.
• Fang Yuan considered having Eevee and its Substitute control the same Shadow Ball together, balancing internal rotation with a stable outer structure.

During his second day visiting Magic University, Fang Yuan told Director Qi that he wanted to study Pokémon research, hoping to become a researcher and gain access to Secret Realms.
