• Lei Xiao summoned her Growlithe, whose energetic affection for her impressed Chu Xin.

• Lei Xiao asked Chu Xin for Xiao Wu's shed skin, and Xiao Wu refused because she still resented Lei Xiao for hitting Chu Xin.

• Chu Xin took Xiao Wu to a dense forest, where Aier had cleared away nearby Pokémon and prepared treatment in case Xiao Wu was injured.
• Chu Xin told Xiao Wu to sprint back and forth through the trees with Extreme Speed to improve his physical abilities and control.

• Aier put an Everstone necklace on Xiao Wu, and Xiao Wu confirmed it worked by firing a weaker Dragon Rage at a tree.
• Chu Xin thanked Aier, relieved that Xiao Wu could continue training.

After Xiao Wu mastered the required Extreme Speed training, Chu Xin gave it a day off and traveled with Aier to Jindu to buy training equipment and learn more about raising Pokémon. At the Jindu Gym, an elderly man warned Chu Xin not to touch its century-old, authenticated cultural relics.

• With the Everstone and Aier's help, Xiao Wu completed Chu Xin's Extreme Speed training after a week and gained better control over its movements.

• The next day, Chu Xin and Aier took the high-speed train to Jindu without Xiao Wu, since Chu Xin lacked a Monster Handler license.
• Chu Xin bought exercise equipment at Jindu's monster training center and had Aier arrange for it to be sent to the villa.
• At the Jindu Gym, an elderly man knocked Chu Xin's hand away from a wooden pillar and explained that the Gym was a cultural relic over a hundred years old.

Chu Xin visited Jindu Gym to learn how to raise Pokémon, but found it dilapidated and its Gym Leader, Chen Huan, eccentric. Chen Huan revealed his power through Vespiquen and a huge swarm of Combee, leaving Chu Xin to reconsider whether the old man was qualified to teach him.

• Chen Huan tried to drive Chu Xin out of Jindu Gym until Aier introduced him as the young master of Infinite Energy Pokéblock Company.
• Chen Huan welcomed Chu Xin inside, introduced himself as Jindu Gym's Gym Leader, and secretly ordered Vespiquen to have its Combee watch the visitors.

• Chu Xin asked Chen Huan to teach him techniques for raising Pokémon, and Aier explained that he meant Monsters.
• Chen Huan summoned Vespiquen and surrounded it with rings of Combee, then asked Chu Xin whether he now seemed qualified.

• Chu Xin agreed to pay Chen Huan thirty Pokéblocks a month for training advice, and Aier handed over the first month's tuition.

Chu Xin learned about the Monster Handler Exam and resolved to enter so he could avenge Xiao Wu’s first loss to Lei Jing’s Growlithe. He used reverse psychology to persuade Xiao Wu to agree to grueling training, leaving them ready to begin preparing for the competition.

• Lei Jing challenged Chu Xin to compete in the Monster Handler Exam, and Lei Xiao explained the exam’s certificates and benefits.
• Aier told Chu Xin that Xiao Wu was strong enough to take the exam but would struggle to earn a good result or beat Lei Jing’s Growlithe.
• Chu Xin returned home and reminded Xiao Wu of his defeat, reigniting Xiao Wu’s desire to challenge Growlithe.
• Chu Xin pretended that Xiao Wu had no chance and that he would spare him tough training, prompting Xiao Wu to insist on training to win.
• Chu Xin revealed that he had secretly recorded Xiao Wu agreeing to undergo the difficult training.

Chu Xin brought Xiao Wu to Chen Huan for training and learned that the young Dratini’s growth limited its strength. Chen Huan gave Chu Xin an Elite Four-level Dragonite’s reverse scale to help Xiao Wu control Dragon-type energy and learn powerful moves.

• Chu Xin visited the Jindu Gym with Aier and Xiao Wu, where he saw Vespiquen rationing a Pokéblock for her Combee.
• Chu Xin gave Vespiquen three Pokéblocks before asking Chen Huan to assess Xiao Wu’s training.

• Chen Huan gave Chu Xin the reverse scale of an Elite Four-level Dragonite, saying its Dragon-type energy would improve Xiao Wu’s control.

Chu Xin received a Dragonite scale on loan and Chen Huan’s training notebook, then used the notes to plan Xiao Wu’s training. Chen Huan realized he had given Chu Xin the wrong Dragonite scale.

• Chu Xin admired the Dragonite scale Chen Huan lent him and asked whether he had more treasures for Xiao Wu.
• Chen Huan gave Chu Xin his training notebook, and Chu Xin offered him three hundred Pokéblocks plus a monthly supply of three hundred and fifty as tuition.
• Chen Huan showed the Pokéblocks to Vespiquen, who fainted from excitement at the prospect of their new food supply.
• Chu Xin studied the notebook, learned Chen Huan’s methods focused on raising Vespiquen, and developed a training plan for Xiao Wu.
• Chu Xin headed to the training grounds, hoping Xiao Wu could beat Little Lei Jing’s Growlithe in two months.
• Chen Huan frowned over another Dragonite scale and realized he had handed Chu Xin the wrong one.

Chu Xin began training Xiao Wu with Dragonite’s reverse scale, but its power overwhelmed Xiao Wu and injured him badly. When Chu Xin rushed into the energy to save him, he collapsed, and Xiao Wu faced the rampaging Dragonite alone.

• Chu Xin removed Xiao Wu’s Everstone and hung Dragonite’s reverse scale around his neck to begin training him to control its Dragon-type energy.
• The scale’s flames overwhelmed Xiao Wu, and his attempts to control the energy failed as it burned and wounded him.
• Chu Xin ordered Aier to remove the scale, but its energy blasted Garchomp away and formed a rampaging Dragonite.
• Aier restrained Chu Xin as he tried to reach Xiao Wu, but a dark blur struck the back of her neck with a Paralysis Needle.
• Chu Xin broke free, endured the energy, and carried the unconscious Xiao Wu, but he collapsed before removing the scale.
• Xiao Wu faced the Dragonite projection without fear and launched himself at it with Dragon Rush.

After Xiao Wu and Chu Xin collapsed, Aier confronted Chen Huan, who defeated her Garchomp and explained that Xiao Wu’s Dragonite scale contained dangerous Dynamax Energy. Chen Huan took the scale back and left, believing Chu Xin would eventually come looking for him.

• Xiao Wu collapsed from exhaustion while shielding Chu Xin, and Aier called Chansey to treat them.
• Chen Huan arrived with Vespiquen and Combee, and Aier attacked him with Garchomp’s Hyper Beam.
• Vespiquen blocked the attack, confused Garchomp, and knocked him unconscious with Air Slash.

• Aier ordered Chen Huan to take the scale and leave, and he departed with Vespiquen, expecting Chu Xin to seek him out later.
