An Outrageous Score! First Place by a Mile!

"999+? That's over the limit?"

Hearing the number, Mu Yun looked puzzled.

Was the school's equipment really that... well, basic?

The other students weren't improving as fast as he was, but by the second half of the school year, most of them should reach Professional Level.

By then, even if they couldn't match Xiao Du now, they probably wouldn't be far behind.

The Trainer Association: Have you heard of professional certification?

"Machines that can accurately measure Pokémon above Professional Level are expensive. Most high schools can't afford them. Usually, only the local Trainer Association has one."

Wang He seemed to notice Mu Yun's confusion and explained.

"And once a Pokémon reaches Professional Level, training alone won't help it improve quickly. That's why the Trainer Association sets Professional Level as the minimum requirement for certification and allows certified Trainers to take on missions."

A Pokémon couldn't grow through daily training and nutritional supplements alone.

Battle was essential too!

Especially from Professional Level onward, progress through training alone slowed down. Frequent battles became necessary to help a Pokémon gain levels faster.

That was the first dividing line between Trainers—and where the serious spending began.

Training meant worrying about nutrition. Battle meant finding suitable opponents, treating injuries promptly, and giving a Pokémon time to recover.

Every part of it cost money.

Battle... Mu Yun murmured to himself.

Others might find battles thrilling, but when he faced Pokémon of the same level, the match was usually over in an instant. There wasn't much thrill in that.

Would that approach work for him?

Mu Yun didn't know. Either way, he needed to raise his Pokémon to Professional Level and complete the All-Attribute Master permanent quest first.

As for finding battles?
