Yanhuang League, Evergreen Province, Songjiang City.
Songjiang No. 1 High School.
The scorching summer heat of late June filled every classroom in the high school with warmth.
Yet even more fervent than the heat was the excited, bustling discussion echoing from every student within the classroom.
"The day the school distributes Pokémon Eggs is finally here! I wonder if this batch of Pokémon Eggs will have my favorite Charmander this year!"
"Are you kidding me? Charmanders are one of the Fire Type Starter Trio. You need to pay into the Pokémon Fund for a full 16 years, accumulating 800,000 League Coins, just to collect one at the local Pokémon Center. You expect the school to give you one for free?"
"Then why did I hear that among the Pokémon Eggs distributed by the school in previous years, one hatched into a Cyndaquil?"
"That guy was the principal's grandson back then."
"Wasn't the principal only in his forties?"
"I'm talking about the former principal."
"..."
Inside the classroom, similar discussions appeared in almost every small group's conversation.
Nearly every Pokémon-claiming season, that avaricious, embezzling former principal who harmed the public for personal gain and ultimately ended up in prison would be dragged out by the students of Songjiang No. 1 High School as a topic of conversation.
Amidst the criticism, their envy remained thinly veiled.
Starter Pokémon worth nearly a million were something ordinary families could only feast their eyes on.
If they were actually getting Pokémon, they had to rely on our cost-effective Common Bug and Bird Pokémon series.
"Brother Yun, what kind of starter Pokémon do you want?"
In the corner of the Class 3, Grade 2 classroom, a male student with fair skin, a slender figure, exquisite features, and a slightly delicate temperament asked.
Looking at his close friend's exquisite features and weak temperament that were even more feminine than a woman's, Mu Yun couldn't help sighing every time he thought about how the other person was actually a guy, even though he was already used to it.
Was there something wrong with his transmigration?
Clearly, when reading novels in his past life, the transmigrated male protagonists were always surrounded by girls.
Things like aloof school beauties, wealthy female teachers, cute junior schoolmates, fiery policewomen, glamorous beauties... cough.
All in all, how did it turn into a frail little sissy when it came to him?
He hadn't even been from Sichuan in his past life either?
"Anything is fine, the potential of the Pokémon distributed by the school is pretty much the same anyway."
After finishing his routine sigh in his heart, Mu Yun propped up his chin with a lazy expression and said indifferently.
Ever since he read a Hextech-related Pokémon novel in his past life and remarked, "Have you ever raised a Pokémon? You're just writing some things randomly and taking them for granted," it had already been seventeen years since he transmigrated into this urban world where Pokémon existed.
Although he was also a standard protagonist template with "parents deceased, savings and a house."
Unfortunately, during the seventeen years without a system appearing, the blandness of his life was no different from any other ordinary student.
Aside from being a little smarter, taking first place in academic subjects across the grade, having slightly more stamina so that the once out-of-reach one-kilometer run could now be done casually, and being a bit more handsome—second only to Tomato readers—there wasn't a single outstanding aspect about him.
"That's true, Brother Yun, you're planning to apply for the Breeder major, and you don't need to participate in the Pokémon battle assessments for the College Entrance Examination. Having a Pokémon that meets the application requirements is enough."
The little sissy Liu Jianhao expressed his understanding.
That's right, Mu Yun's aspirations were not the most popular and hottest Trainer major in this world, but the Breeder major, which had a relatively smaller number of applicants each year but rather high score requirements.
This point was also a decision Mu Yun made after careful consideration.
After all, this wasn't Ash's anime world; battles between Pokémon were displayed quite exaggeratedly.
According to the videos he saw on the internet, high-level Pokémon could genuinely summon wind and rain, and burn mountains and boil seas.
With a single Flamethrower, they could turn West Lake into a temporary egg-boiling hot spring.
As a lonely, helpless orphan without a companion system, Mu Yun felt that for the sake of his life, it was better to choose the relatively safer Breeder major.
Relying on his rather outstanding brainpower, not to mention becoming some kind of nationally renowned Pokémon Professor, living out a comfortable life shouldn't be much of a problem.
As for the pride of a transmigrator?
What kind of thing was that?
Could it be eaten or was it worth money?
"Jingle bell~~"
Accompanied by a familiar crisp ringing sound, a slightly chubby middle-aged male wearing a dark gray jacket and holding a silver-gray thermos walked slowly into the classroom, walking toward the podium with a kindly smile.
He was none other than the head teacher of Class 3, Grade 2—Song Fu, who taught Chinese.
Behind him walked a plump creature with a pink tail, alternating black and purple skin, and a build very much like a middle-aged man—Pupu Pig!
She wore a small pink messenger bag slung over her right shoulder, and a large stack of floating paper documents drifted beside her.
If one ignored the Pokémon behind Song Fu, this outfit of his was truly no different from the middle-aged veteran teachers from his past life.
"The old man is slacking off again, making Pig Mom carry so much stuff!"
"Pig Mom, you have to speak up if you're tired! We support you in breaking free from the old man's exploitation!"
As soon as Song Fu and Pupu Pig stepped inside, the students in the classroom chimed in with jokes.
Because Pupu Pig had a gentle personality and loved helping and caring for the students, they affectionately called her "Pig Mom".
"Pupu~~~"
Listening to the students' jokes below, Pupu Pig hummed with a smile on her pink snout.
Then, a large patch of colorful candies flew out of her small messenger bag, floating before every single student in the class.
Mu Yun reached out to take the light blue candy floating in front of him, skillfully unwrapped the wrapper, and popped it into his mouth.
A cool, icy trace of sweetness slowly filled his entire mouth.
It was his favorite mint flavor, delicious!
"Ahem!"
Seeing his students starting to "rebel" and chat with Pupu Pig again, Song Fu hurriedly gave two coughs.
"Classmates, this year's college entrance examination has already ended. Starting next semester, you will officially undergo specialized streaming and begin preparing for the college entrance examination!"
"All students who want to apply for Pokémon-related majors, remember to choose the Pokémon class. The rest who want to apply for various theoretical majors, remember to choose the cultural class. Make sure you don't pick the wrong one."
"Zhu Zhu, sorry for the trouble, hand out the application forms."
Hearing this, the Pupu Pig at the side gently twitched her pink snout.
Those papers floating around her, just like the candies from a moment ago, accurately and flawlessly flew before every student.
After receiving the streaming form, Mu Yun glanced at it to make sure there were no misprints or missing sections, then began earnestly filling it out.
Although in this world Pokémon Trainers were the most popular profession, there were still many students who chose other majors due to various reasons.
Because of this, aside from Pokémon-related majors such as Breeders, Breeders, and Coordinators, which required holding a Pokémon to apply and taking additional assessments, other majors only required cultural course scores.
In this regard, it was basically the same as the college entrance examination in his past life.
Accompanied by the rustling sound of writing, everyone quickly finished filling out their respective forms.
After Pupu Pig once again used Confusion to gather all the forms, head teacher Song Fu faced the eager gazes of the students below and spoke again at a leisurely pace.
"Alright, next, everyone head downstairs to the stadium to line up and orderly proceed to the school gymnasium to collect your Pokémon Eggs."
Led by Song Fu's good partner, "Pig Mom", Class Three of Grade Two quickly arrived inside the stadium.
The hanging scorching sun and steaming heat felt like Ninetales had unleashed a full-power Sunny Day; the temperature was frighteningly high.
Fortunately, the school still had some humanity.
In the shaded corner of the stadium, a few Ice-type Pokémon were already in place, and a moderate, fine, cool breeze kept the temperature of the sweltering stadium from causing heat stroke.
Soon, Mu Yun's Class Three of Grade Two had formed two long lines ordered from shortest to tallest.
Song Fu and Pupu Pig, who was holding an umbrella with Confusion, came to the middle of the line, and he said with a robust voice.
"Although the rules for collecting Pokémon Eggs have been emphasized many times, just in case, I am going to say them again."
"The top thirty students in the cultural course grade ranking can receive a Pokémon Egg for free, along with a Pokémon Egg Incubator."
"Besides that, the rest can rely on their grade rankings to enjoy a twenty to fifty percent discount. At that time, just bring your student ID and student card to the gymnasium's registration teacher to pay."
"Finally, I want to emphasize one point: no matter what kind of Pokémon hatches from the Pokémon Egg, you must go to the Trainer Association to register at the very first moment. Abandoning them is strictly forbidden, and mistreatment is strictly forbidden."
"Pokémon are not tools; they are living, breathing lives. They have emotions and warmth, and in the future, they will be your best partners and family. Only this point, whether you plan to become a professional trainer in the future or not, I hope you can keep it in mind!"
"Pupu!!"
Pig Mom at the side also reined in the gentle smile at the corner of her mouth and echoed solemnly and earnestly.
"Family, huh..."
In the line, looking at the serious and earnest old man and Pig Mom, Mu Yun's gaze suddenly drifted somewhat.
In both this life and the past, living two lives, his household register couldn't even scrape together three pages. The word "family" truly felt somewhat unfamiliar to him.
Fortunately, in this life, although his parents had passed away early, his family still had some savings, enough to support him in finishing his education without having to go out early to scrape by in society.
"Alright, it's our class's turn. Everyone mind the order and orderly proceed to the gymnasium."
