Spirit Dimension: Tricking Groudon at the Start

So outrageous, so outrageous!

Comparing people is enough to drive people crazy!

Su Yi nodded.

"Jingtian Academy's Pokémon research summary is essentially equivalent to a final Pokémon graduation thesis. However, unlike a regular graduation thesis, our Pokémon graduation thesis also requires students to pass the Pokémon League's Advanced Trainer certification."

"However, the difficulty of passing depends on the Pokémon you choose. Common Pokémon are generally easy, while rare Pokémon aren't that much harder. As long as you summarize correctly, you can usually pass, but the summarization itself is difficult."

"The hardest part is not summarizing a specific Pokémon, but rather summarizing a Pokémon's Ability or its habitat. This is because the academy's teachers might not understand the Pokémon's Ability or habitat as deeply as you do."

After Gu Yuanfang finished explaining, Su Yi understood the topic he needed to summarize.

"I have another question, regarding the Zhang Family."

Su Yi stared at Gu Yuanfang, enunciating each word.

As expected, Gu Yuanfang frowned.

"Su Yi, the Zhang Family will likely target you. But don't worry, as long as you are within Jingtian Academy, they wouldn't dare to cause trouble even if given a hundred chances."

"Mm, I just wanted to know in advance."

Su Yi certainly wouldn't say that he planned to take the initiative to deal with the Zhang Family.

"You need to know that because the four largest Spirit Primal Forests in the country are too dangerous, the International Pokémon League headquarters has enacted a rule prohibiting unauthorized entry into the middle layer. However, the Spirit Primal Forests are vast, and their entrances are too numerous for the headquarters to guard themselves. Thus, they delegate this task to the Noble Families. Many people have soared to success by seizing just one opportunity."

"The Zhang Family is one such family that seized an opportunity and achieved their ambition of soaring to great heights. They are responsible for guarding the entrance to the middle layer of the Spirit Primal Forest."

"However, this kind of opportunity is rotated every three years. In a little while this year, it will be the Zhang Family's turn to be replaced. But I estimate the Zhang Family will be too busy to bother with you recently. They're preoccupied with ensuring they continue to be responsible for guarding the entrance. They earn a commission in Gold Coins from there every year, which is a very lucrative position."

"The Zhang Family is usually arrogant and overbearing. Zhang Mu, in particular, is a hypocrite. He'll forcefully buy or sell Pokémon that are of good size and color from Trainers. What's more, the Zhang Family has secretly engaged in many activities that violate League regulations. Female Trainers who have good conditions but lack the background of the Zhang Family are often bullied by them. This is all recorded in the Noble Family archives of Jingtian Academy, so you can check it yourself if you have time."

Gu Yuanfang provided some basic information about the Zhang Family. However, upon hearing that the Zhang Family was currently preparing to continue guarding the entrance and learning about their usual conduct, Su Yi understood. Such a Noble Family deserved to be eradicated. His plan was set!

Very well, after bidding farewell to Gu Yuanfang, Su Yi directly took Jingtian Academy's special vehicle to the Pokémon League in Shangjing City to get his Trainer identification certified!

After his Trainer identification was certified, Su Yi could begin making arrangements for his plan against the Zhang Family.

As he passed by the training grounds, the new students, along with their Pokémon, were already undergoing a week of physical training under the guidance of the military training instructors.

Physical training was of utmost importance.

Jingtian Academy also placed great emphasis on it.

After the week of physical training concluded, the academy would have students dedicate one day each week specifically to training their own and their Pokémon's physical fitness.

They would also be provided with various supplementary physical Potion for themselves and their Pokémon.

Su Yi's physical Potion had already been prepared in his dormitory. However, his body was currently at a bottleneck due to absorbing the System-rewarded Self-Enhancement Potion. He would have to wait for his body to fully absorb and digest the Potion before he could take any others.

As he passed by the training grounds, some sharp-eyed new students spotted Su Yi.

They were training here, exhausted, so why didn't the Double Champion have to train his physique?

He was the one who should be training the most!

"Report!"

Thinking this, the student directly shouted "Report!"

"Speak!"

The military training instructor glanced at the student.

"I believe the Double Champion is the one who should be undergoing physical training the most! At the very least, he should be doing it like us and our Pokémon!"

Double Champion?

The instructor looked at the person pointing at Su Yi and suddenly understood.

However, before the instructor could finish formulating his response, Su Yi walked over.

Unfortunately, this was one of the slightly frustrating aspects of Jingtian Academy: one had to pass through the training grounds to enter or exit the school gates.

It was the same for everyone.

These students happened to be training near the school gate.

Seeing Su Yi approach, the student who had just shouted the report gathered all his strength, his face turning red, and punched the measuring instrument.

249!

Good strength.

After a week of physical training, the minimum requirement was for everyone to break through 240 jin of strength.

He had already achieved it on the first day, proving he had been training beforehand.

"Student Su Yi, if it's convenient, please let them see why you don't need to train."

The instructor had only received news that Su Yi's physical fitness was up to standard and didn't know his specific capabilities.

"Just a little bit short, but not bad."

Su Yi glanced at the student, who immediately felt a bit embarrassed. What did he mean by "just a little bit short"?

"Bang!!!"

With a casual punch, Su Yi's fist met the measuring instrument, directly hitting a value of 500.

What the hell!

Comparing people leads to death, comparing goods leads to being thrown away!

A light punch from him reached a level neither of you can achieve!

So strong!

Not minding this small interlude, Su Yi walked out of the school gate, leaving the stunned freshmen behind.

"Whoever can reach this value doesn't need to train anymore, number 16!"

The instructor, seeing Su Yi's casual display stun everyone, was impressed. This guy is barely 18, not even 19 yet? A light punch carries 500 jin.

"Here!"

Number 16 was the one who had just questioned him.

"200 push-ups on the spot, starting now! Everyone else, rest for ten minutes!"

"..."

Outside the school was the dedicated bus from Jingtian Academy to the Pokémon League in Shangjing City.

With his special student ID, he could use it anytime, anywhere!

Let's go!

Shangjing City!

A city of bustling prosperity.

The Pokémon League in Shangjing City was located in the center of the city.

And Jingtian Academy wasn't too far from the Shangjing City Pokémon League.

The bus was fast, and they arrived in less than twenty minutes.

Showing his student ID, he was directly granted entry.

A young lady specifically responsible for receiving students from Jingtian Academy came over to explain the rules for certifying a Trainer ID to Su Yi.

Others would have to check for themselves.

This was one of the ways students from Jingtian Academy were treated differently.

"Student Su Yi, this way please. The certification rules for the Shangjing City Pokémon League require you to have three or more Pokémon of corresponding strength and to be recognized by a Trainer from our League who is responsible for assessments. I believe you already have a basic understanding of these requirements. What level of Trainer identification are you looking to be assessed for?"

The young lady asked. Because Su Yi was a student of Jingtian Academy and possessed a special student ID, he didn't need to go through the steps sequentially. Below the Heavenly King level, he could directly apply for assessment the first time.

If he failed the first time, he wouldn't be able to apply for his desired level the second time; instead, he would have to start from the bottom as a beginner Trainer.

"Just, Advanced Trainer certification, please."

Su Yi considered it. Advanced Trainer corresponded to levels 30-39, and he already had three Pokémon.

Elite Trainer certification was for levels 40-49, also with three Pokémon. However, if it were a Heavenly King level certification, the difficulty would skyrocket, increasing to a 6v6 battle, and instead of gaining recognition from an assessing Trainer, he would have to defeat them!

"Alright, Student Su Yi, a random Advanced Trainer has been assigned to assess you. Please head to the battle arena and wait a moment."

After speaking, the young lady led Su Yi to the battle arena inside.

The Shangjing City Pokémon League was huge.

There were at least twenty battle arenas inside!

Ten were used for assessing Trainer IDs, and the other ten were set up for when people requested the League to witness and officiate Pokémon duels.

For matters that couldn't be resolved by ordinary means, many people would resort to Pokémon duels. Under the League's supervision, the losing party would absolutely not dare to go back on their word.

The League would collect fees from both parties before the battle.

Of course, assessing a Trainer also required Gold Coins.

But Su Yi was directly exempted.

This special student ID was quite useful.

Without waiting long, Su Yi's assessing Trainer arrived.

A young man in his twenties.

"Looks like I got lucky. I didn't expect this year's top scorer in both exams to be assessed by me! Haha!"

Seeing that the person being assessed this time was Su Yi, the young Trainer was delighted.

"Su Yi, for this Trainer certification, I won't hold back. You'd better be careful."

This person's name was Zhou Lan, a Senior Advanced Trainer, and one of the top two in the Advanced assessment at the Shangjing City Pokémon League.

"I wouldn't have it any other way."

"Very good, let me see what makes the first dual top scorer in history different from other Trainers. Go, Pidgeot!"

"Pidgeot!"

A powerfully built Pidgeot soared through the sky.

"Pidgeot, very good. Ampharos, you're up!"

The examiner took out his Pokémon first, as per the rules.

The examinee attacked first, also per the rules.

"Bringing out Ampharos, a very good decision. Come on, let me see what makes your Ampharos different."

Zhou Lan's gaze sharpened slightly. Pidgeot circled in the sky. As long as the Electric Spirit's attacks missed Pidgeot, it would be fine.

"Ampharos, Power Gem!"

Pidgeot could fly. If it didn't close the distance, it would be difficult for Ampharos to hit it.

A probing attack.

As for Vibrava, its wings weren't fully developed yet, so it couldn't compare to a robust Pidgeot.

Of course, if it evolved into Flygon, it wouldn't be afraid at all.

"Pidgeot, Gust!"

Gust: Blows a powerful wind to attack the opponent.

Pidgeot's wings flapped powerfully.
