Background / History

Su Yi awakens in a world where Spirit Trainers and Pokémon are commonplace shortly before his graduation trials. He retains knowledge from Pokémon games and quickly adapts it to the world’s real battle, training, evolution, and research systems. His system grants him Groudon as a guardian, though its intervention is initially restricted to life-threatening situations. Su Yi persuades Groudon that it can fly, establishing a recurring means of directing the legendary Pokémon. 1 2

Before entering the Spirit Primal Forest, Su Yi is already the top student in Pokémon theory at South Lake Province First Spirit Academy. He later achieves a historic perfect score and first place in the national Pokémon Knowledge Ranking. 2 6

During the graduation trial, Su Yi builds a team around Froakie and uses calculated battles, side quests, and system rewards to improve his resources. Though his ranking remains low for much of the trial, he rapidly rises in the final challenge period, ultimately taking first place in the Trial Ranking. This makes him the year’s dual champion. 7 19 25 26

After graduation, Su Yi rejects Haitian Academy’s financial offer and joins Jingtian Academy because it grants him exceptional freedom, access to secret archives, and entry to the middle layer of the Spirit Primal Forest. 30

Personality

Su Yi is pragmatic, competitive, and strongly motivated by tangible gains. He often demands wagers before accepting battles and treats opponents’ challenges as opportunities to gain points, money, or system rewards. 4 22 24 46

He is highly self-assured but usually calm rather than boastful. He ignores provocations when they do not benefit him, then responds decisively once a challenge serves his objectives. 16 22 27

Despite his opportunism, Su Yi distinguishes between opponents and bystanders. He intervenes when Murong Qianjin mistreats Mareep, but refuses to protect examinees who expected to exploit his battle with the Murong Family for their own benefit. 12

He values his family deeply, particularly Su Xiyan and their parents, and resolves to deal proactively with threats to their safety and peace. 30 31
