"If we're going to battle, let's do it tonight."
Mu Yun added.
It was the first day of training. Most students were still at the Logistics Camp, while a few had set out for the Flowing Wood Camp.
But he had nearly cleared out the Flowing Wood Camp. They would surely head to other camps instead.

Something was wrong. Very wrong.
Wasn't his Simisage an Elite Level Pokémon? How had it gone down in one move?
His confusion didn't slow Mu Yun down.
After defeating Simisage, Mu Yun
