• The three registered at the Trainer Association and met their examiner, Tian Ruifu, whom Zhuo Xing knew as her grandfather.
• Tian Ruifu explained that passing required lasting three minutes against his Golem, and Bai Yuan stepped forward to begin with Scyther.

Bai Yuan used Scyther’s speed and clever tactics to challenge Tian Ruifu’s Golem, then passed the assessment when the three-minute limit ended. Zhuo Xing began her own assessment with her newly evolved Kadabra.

• Chu Xin returned to Jindu Academy and decided Xiao Wu and Kaka needed help mastering their powerful energies.
• Chu Xin took Xiao Wu and Kaka to Chen Huan’s laboratory, where Chen Huan eagerly asked to see them.

Chu Xin planned specialized training to help Electrike catch up with Xiao Wu and Kaka and join his main team. He focused on Electrike’s low defense and stamina, proposing Pokéblocks for endurance and a way to use his electrically charged fur as a protective barrier.

• Chu Xin entrusted Xiao Wu and Kaka to Chen Huan for research after making him promise to keep them safe.
• Chu Xin returned to his dorm and asked Luo Luo about Electrike’s training, learning that Electrike had mastered many moves and made strong progress.
• Chu Xin realized that Electrike was falling behind Xiao Wu and Kaka because he had devoted less attention and resources to him.
• Chu Xin decided to build on Electrike’s speed and offensive strength while addressing his weak defense and stamina with specialized training.
• Chu Xin considered supplying stamina-enhancing Pokéblocks and having Electrike draw electricity through his fur to create a defensive barrier.

Chu Xin trained Electrike to use Lightning Rod to hold electrical energy from Luo Luo’s Thunder Shock across his body, despite repeated failures. Electrike briefly managed the technique, proving it was possible, and the chapter ended with him celebrating as Luo Luo advised that continued practice would let him sustain it.

• Chu Xin devised a training method for Electrike to absorb Luo Luo’s Electric-type attacks and spread the energy over his body using Lightning Rod.
• Electrike spent several days training and building stamina, then attempted the technique again after half a month of intensive practice.
• Luo Luo struck Electrike with Thunder Shock while Chu Xin watched, and Electrike briefly guided the electricity across his body before it drained into the ground.
• Chu Xin and Luo Luo celebrated the momentary success, and Luo Luo analyzed the data and confirmed that the technique was viable.
• Electrike realized his brief success meant he could eventually master the technique and excitedly ran around Chu Xin.

Chu Xin named Electrike’s electricity-based enhancement technique Ball Lightning and assigned Luo Luo to train him until he could use it reliably. He then visited Chen Huan’s laboratory and found Xiao Wu and Kaka training in the underground grounds, where Xiao Wu had begun working seriously.

• Chen Huan explained that Eternatus’s purple Dynamax energy carried its will and was difficult for ordinary Pokémon to endure, while the gentler blue energy carried Dragonite’s will.
• Chen Huan removed Dragonite’s imprint from the blue energy and complained that Chu Xin had not told him about Dragonite sooner.

Chen Huan revealed that blue Dynamax Energy could help Pokémon adapt to Eternatus’s energy, then discovered that Xiao Wu’s energy had turned white after being imbued with a will. He traced the ability to Dragonite the elder and left Chu Xin eager to see what Xiao Wu could learn from him.

• Chen Huan explained that gentle blue Dynamax Energy could prepare Pokémon to handle Eternatus’s more volatile energy.
• Chu Xin complained that Chen Huan’s research would not make Xiao Wu stronger, and Chen Huan punched him for disrespecting his laboratory.

• Chen Huan encouraged Chu Xin to pursue his dream of becoming the nation’s Champion Trainer, then told him to visit the Wudang Gym to help Kaka.

Chu Xin planned new training for Xiao Wu and Kaka after watching Electrike’s demanding practice. He left them with tasks tied to Dragonite Senior’s will and the powers of Zamazenta and Zacian, and considered visiting Wudang Gym to find Kaka a suitable opponent.

• Luo Luo stopped Electrike’s training and gave him medicinal broth, while Xiao Wu remembered his own dangerous training and resented Chu Xin for it.
• Chu Xin told Xiao Wu to imbue the Dynamax Band’s energy with his will and use Outrage to communicate with Dragonite Senior through the reverse scale.
• Chu Xin explained that Kaka needed to adapt to the powers of Zamazenta and Zacian, but lacked the shield needed to fully use Zamazenta’s defensive power.
• Chu Xin considered whether Kaka could evolve into Sirfetch’d and gain the shield and sword needed to use both legendary powers.
• Chu Xin recalled Chen Huan’s recommendation of Wudang Gym and thought its Kingambit could provide Kaka with a suitable battle.
