Chapter Summaries

Chu Xin began infusing Xiao Wu with Dynamax Energy to prepare him for future training, while Luo Luo monitored the process. Xiao Wu secretly stored the energy in his Outrage scale until he lost control and attacked Chu Xin with Dragon Rage.

• Chu Xin chose to develop Xiao Wu's ability to master Dynamax Energy and collected Chen Huan's research materials.
• Chu Xin entered the research into Luo Luo's database and released an exhausted Xiao Wu.
• Chu Xin pinned Xiao Wu down and slowly injected Dynamax Energy while Luo Luo monitored him and Kaka watched.
• Xiao Wu's Outrage scale fused with his body and secretly absorbed the Dynamax Energy, preventing him from transforming.
• Chu Xin continued injecting energy until Xiao Wu began losing control, then released him.
• Xiao Wu turned on Chu Xin and unleashed Dragon Rage.

Chu Xin’s Xiao Wu defeated Bai Yuan’s Scyther with ease after rapidly growing stronger through Dynamax Energy training. Zhuo Xing told Chu Xin he was ready to attempt the Battle Club assessment, where he would face her exceptionally strong older brother, Zhuo Yue.

• Xiao Wu used Extreme Speed and Headbutt to knock out Bai Yuan’s Scyther.
• Chu Xin credited Xiao Wu’s rapid improvement to training based on Chen Huan’s Dynamax research, while Zhuo Xing accepted that she could not keep up with Chu Xin.
• Zhuo Xing told Chu Xin that passing the Battle Club assessment would make him an official member and a reserve competitor for the Academy Battle.
• Chu Xin learned that the assessment required him to bring three Pokémon and defeat one of an examiner’s Pokémon.
• Zhuo Xing revealed that her older brother, Zhuo Yue, was the examiner and could likely reach Gym Leader strength if he went all out.

Chu Xin sought Chen Huan’s help to prepare for an assessment against a Gym Leader-level opponent, paying him with valuable Pokéblocks. During their training battle, Kaka faced Chen Huan’s Vespiquen and was badly outmatched, but remained determined to land a hit.

• Chu Xin learned the next assessment was in about two weeks and signed up, deciding he needed special training.
• Chu Xin asked Chen Huan to train him and offered a box of two hundred valuable Pokéblocks, which convinced Chen Huan to help.
• At the underground battlefield, Chu Xin asked Chen Huan to pit Vespiquen against Kaka and Xiao Wu, and Chen Huan agreed not to use Dynamax.
• Vespiquen overwhelmed Kaka with Sweet Scent, and Kaka used Twister to clear the fragrance before rushing in with Agility and Fury Cutter.
• Vespiquen evaded Kaka’s attack with Double Team and struck him, slicing through his leek and sending him flying.
• Kaka stood exhausted with his broken leek and resolved to land at least one slash on Vespiquen.

Chu Xin and his Pokémon challenged Chen Huan’s Vespiquen, but Kaka and Dynamaxed Xiao Wu both lost despite landing a hit and unleashing powerful attacks. Chu Xin accepted the defeat and resolved that they would grow stronger.

• Kaka used his Psychic-type gift to wound Vespiquen before collapsing, but Vespiquen won the battle.
• Chen Huan praised Kaka’s potential, and Chu Xin recalled him and apologized for underestimating Vespiquen.
• Chu Xin Dynamaxed Xiao Wu, whose Dragon Rage was blocked by Vespiquen’s Defend Order.
• Vespiquen dodged Xiao Wu’s Dragon Tail, then defeated him with Slash and a strike to the back of his head.
• Chu Xin recalled Xiao Wu and told Vespiquen he accepted the loss and believed they would grow stronger.

After Xiao Wu and Kaka recovered from their battles, Luo Luo explained why Xiao Wu could not threaten Vespiquen soon and discovered that Kaka’s psychic power had triggered a dangerous surge of strength during their fight. The chapter ended with Chu Xin recognizing the ability as a power surge.

• Chu Xin urged Xiao Wu and Kaka to study their battle recordings, then reassured Kaka that Vespiquen’s greater strength came from her age and experience.
• Luo Luo explained that Vespiquen’s control of Dynamax energy and battle experience let her counter Xiao Wu, making a quick victory unlikely.
• Luo Luo showed that Kaka had injured Vespiquen when his pupils turned red and his physical readings surged during the battle.
• Luo Luo concluded that Kaka’s psychic power had unconsciously driven his body beyond its limits, warning that the dangerous ability could cause injuries and would continue until he lost consciousness.
• Chu Xin recognized Kaka’s uncontrolled ability as a power surge.

Kaka insisted on learning a dangerous way to use his psychic power to strengthen his body, and Chu Xin agreed to seek Chen Huan’s help supervising the training. In Chen Huan’s training room, Vespiquen recreated the pressure that had triggered Kaka’s power, and Kaka began turning red and overheating.

• Kaka asked Chu Xin to let him try the dangerous training method, and Chu Xin refused until Luo Luo explained that careful practice might help him control it.
• Chu Xin agreed to let Kaka train but decided Chen Huan should supervise, and they postponed the session until the next day.
• Chu Xin brought Pokéblocks to Chen Huan, who accepted them and agreed to help train Kaka.
• Chen Huan took Chu Xin and the Pokémon to a training room, where Kaka tried to summon the power he had felt against Vespiquen but initially failed.
• Chen Huan released Vespiquen to recreate the battle pressure, and Kaka’s body turned red and hot as the power began to emerge.

Kaka trained to control the ability that awakened his battle instincts, eventually learning to stop it before his rising temperature overwhelmed him. After Kaka succeeded, Chu Xin gave him a new leek, while Xiao Wu resolved to win more of Chu Xin’s affection.

• Kaka’s first attempt to unleash his potential made him overheat and collapse, so Vespiquen knocked him unconscious and stabilized his energy.
• Luo Luo analyzed Kaka’s ability and advised him to keep its effects within a tolerable range and interrupt them if they grew too strong.
• After two weeks of practice, Kaka learned to suppress the ability and bring his temperature back down, though he collapsed from exhaustion.
• Chu Xin praised Kaka for succeeding and gave him a new leek to replace the one damaged in battle.
• Xiao Wu watched Kaka receive Chu Xin’s attention and decided to put on a good show to prove he was Chu Xin’s real favorite.

Chu Xin arrived late for the Battle Club assessment and faced Zhuo Yue’s Machoke with his Farfetch'd, Kaka. Kaka revealed his new power and defeated Machoke in one strike, earning Chu Xin full membership in the club.

• Zhuo Xing and Bai Yuan searched for Chu Xin, then waited at the Battle Club while the other candidates completed their assessments.
• Chu Xin arrived late, and Zhuo Yue began his assessment by sending out his main-team Machoke against Kaka.
• Zhuo Yue let Kaka attack first, expecting the Farfetch'd to be unable to hurt Machoke.
• Chu Xin told Kaka to unleash his aura, and Kaka moved too quickly for Machoke to follow.
• Kaka struck Machoke with his leek and knocked him unconscious, stunning everyone at the Battle Club.
• Zhuo Yue declared Chu Xin an official Battle Club member, and Chu Xin said the assessment had been easy.

Chu Xin learned that the Breeding Rotom project he had suggested was nearing completion, and Dean Zhuo offered him a share of its commercial profits. Zhuo Yuan arranged for Chu Xin to attend a national Scientific Research Conference at Magic City Academy, where he hoped Chu Xin would broaden his horizons.

• Bai Yuan and Zhuo Xing asked Chu Xin about Kaka's Burst Aura, and Chu Xin explained that it was Kaka's natural talent and that Abra's different fighting style made it unsuitable.
• Assistant Li brought Chu Xin to the Research Center at Dean Zhuo Yuan's request for Rotom's help.
• Zhuo Yuan showed Chu Xin a Rotom that was about to become the second Breeding Rotom, based on Chu Xin's idea.
• Zhuo Yuan promised Chu Xin ten percent of the profits from commercial Breeding Rotom sales in recognition of his naming rights.
• Zhuo Yuan told Chu Xin to attend the national Scientific Research Conference at Magic City Academy to gain experience, and Chu Xin agreed.

Chu Xin arrived in Magic City ahead of the Research Conference and went home to surprise his father, Chu Lian. After inviting Chu Lian to attend the conference with him, Chu Xin challenged Aier to a battle against Aier’s Garchomp.

• Chu Xin flew to Magic City with Chen Huan, then left the airport with Aier instead of going straight to Magic City Academy.
• Chu Xin learned that Chu Lian and Tian Shuyao were at the Infinite Energy Company and decided to surprise his father.
• Chu Xin burst into Chu Lian’s lounge, where Chu Lian joked that he might have been expelled from school.
• Chu Xin told Chu Lian about the Research Conference, and Chu Lian agreed to attend with him.
• Chu Xin challenged Aier to battle Aier’s Garchomp, insisting that he had become much stronger.

Chu Xin challenged Aier to a battle and revealed how much Xiao Wu and Kaka had improved. Aier’s Garchomp defeated both Pokémon, but only after Kaka pushed him to the brink of losing.

• Aier agreed to battle Chu Xin with Garchomp against his two battle-ready Pokémon, and Chu Xin Dynamaxed Xiao Wu.
• Xiao Wu struck Garchomp with Extreme Speed and Headbutt, but Garchomp used Sandstorm, attacked from underground, and defeated Xiao Wu with Dragon Rush.
• Chu Xin sent out Kaka, whose Energy burst and swift attacks nearly overwhelmed Garchomp.
• Garchomp used Breaking Swipe, Bulldoze, Dragon Breath, and Take Down to defeat Kaka, leaving Aier and Garchomp shaken by how close they had come to losing.

After Chu Xin’s battle with Aier, Aier decided to return home and undertake the Dragon Tamer Lineage’s Trial to grow stronger. Chu Xin and Chu Lian arrived at Magic City Academy for its Research Conference, where coordinator Wang Qian welcomed Chu Lian and mistook Chu Xin for an ordinary student.

• Chu Xin explained that Kaka’s Burst Aura was a technique he had developed with the Farfetch’d, and Aier praised Chu Xin’s strength.
• Aier admitted that Chu Xin might catch up to her and Garchomp, then decided to return home and face the Dragon Tamer Lineage’s Trial with Garchomp.
• The next morning, Chu Xin learned that Aier had left and asked Chu Lian to take him to Magic City Academy’s Research Conference and Battle Department.
• Chu Lian brought Chu Xin to Magic City Academy, where year-level teacher Wang Qian welcomed them and encouraged Chu Xin to consider studying there.
• Wang Qian mistook Chu Xin for an ordinary person who had not yet qualified as a Monster Handler.

Wang Qian guided Chu Xin and Chu Lian through Magic City Academy’s Research Center and Battle Department, where Chu Xin learned about the academy’s products and asked to battle. Li Jin arranged an exhibition match against a Reserve Member, and Chu Xin sent out Farfetch'd.

• Wang Qian invited Chu Xin and Chu Lian to tour the Research Center and showed them a Poké Ball that eased monsters’ fatigue and restored stamina.
• Chu Xin received two sample Poké Balls, while Chu Lian discussed investment with Wang Qian and declined because the product was not worth its asking price.
• Chu Lian explained that Magic City Academy wanted the Infinite Energy Company to invest in and market the Poké Balls, and Chu Xin said Jindu Academy’s products would impress people at the Research Conference.
• Wang Qian led Chu Xin and Chu Lian to Magic City Academy’s Battle Department, where Li Jin introduced the Battle Club and offered Chu Xin a match.
• Li Jin sent a Reserve Member to battle, assuming Chu Xin was an inexperienced visitor, and Chu Xin sent out Farfetch'd.

Chu Xin challenged Magic City Academy’s Battle Club, and Farfetch'd overwhelmed a reserve member before Li Jin brought out Bai Yuan. Chu Xin and Bai Yuan began a rematch with their Pokémon, and Kaka’s Burst Aura gave him the upper hand against Scyther.

• Farfetch'd slapped a reserve member’s monster away, leaving Li Jin unable to find another reserve member willing to challenge Chu Xin.
• Li Jin brought Bai Yuan out of the Battle Club, where Bai Yuan revealed he had trained Scyther hard since losing to Chu Xin in the Monster Handler assessment.
• Chu Xin told Li Jin and Bai Yuan that he attended Jindu Academy and was visiting for the Research Conference, alarming Professor Wang Qian because he had already given Chu Xin a Poké Ball.
• Bai Yuan admitted he had lost to Chu Xin before but agreed to battle him, sending Scyther against Chu Xin’s Farfetch'd, Kaka.
• Scyther’s speed and strength drove Kaka back, but Chu Xin ordered Kaka to use Burst Aura, allowing Kaka to outpace Scyther and attack his weak points.

Chu Xin’s Pokémon battled Bai Yuan’s Scyther and Li Jin’s Pokémon during his visit to Magic City Academy, then he returned to Chen Huan with a special Poké Ball sample. Chen Huan explained that the Academy Research Conference was mainly an inter-academy competition, and he was confident their breeding-type Pokémon could win.

• Bai Yuan had Scyther take to the air, where it outmaneuvered Kaka and forced Chu Xin to recall him.
• Chu Xin sent out Xiao Wu, and the exhausted Scyther lost; Li Jin then defeated Xiao Wu in a battle with Chu Xin.
• Chu Xin thanked Wang Qian for the tour, said goodbye to Chu Lian, and returned to Chen Huan.
• Chu Xin gave Chen Huan a special Poké Ball sample from Magic City Academy, which Chen Huan said confirmed their suspicions about the academy’s research entry.
• Chen Huan explained that the Academy Research Conference featured academy teams and said their breeding-type Pokémon were sure to win.

Chu Xin planned ways to strengthen Kaka while staying at Magic City Academy, where Bai Yuan helped him access the Battle Club’s training room. He began training Kaka to learn new attacks and improve his physical condition.

• Chu Xin met Bai Yuan at the Battle Club, and they talked about their status as Official Members.
• Kaka eagerly dragged Chu Xin into the academy’s well-equipped training room to begin training.
• Chu Xin concluded that Xiao Wu mainly needed time to grow, while Kaka needed ranged attacks and better physical conditioning.
• Chu Xin planned to help Kaka learn Air Slash, control his leek with Confusion, and possibly use Leaf Blade.
• Chu Xin entered the training room with Kaka, hoping to find out whether Kaka could master a new move.

Chen Huan forced Chu Xin to attend the Academy Research Conference instead of training Kaka, where Chu Xin watched academies present their inventions. Chu Lian explained that the top academies were only going through the motions, while smaller schools depended on the conference’s resource allocations.

• Chen Huan pulled Chu Xin out of the training room and made him attend the Research Conference, so Kaka reluctantly followed.
• Chu Xin met his father, Chu Lian, at the Research Center, and Chen Huan greeted Chu Lian and thanked Chu Xin for his help.
• An obscure academy presented a portable training device for medium- and large-sized monsters, which caught Chu Xin’s interest.
• Several academies presented their inventions, and Magic City Academy and Capital City Academy showcased relatively minor projects involving Poké Balls.
• Chu Lian told Chu Xin that the top academies had little need for conference resources and saved their important research for elsewhere, while smaller academies relied on those allocations.

At the Rotom Conference, Jindu Academy unveiled Breeding Rotom in Phone Form, presenting it as an accessible Pokémon that could help Monster Handlers care for and train their Pokémon. The audience was left stunned as Chen Huan predicted Rotom would transform breeding and serve many other fields.

• Chu Xin joined Jindu Academy’s team onstage, nervous about appearing before the audience while Chen Huan prepared to present their invention.
• Chen Huan introduced Rotom and explained its ability to travel through cables and possess household appliances.
• Jindu Academy demonstrated Rotom possessing several appliances, then revealed that its research had developed a new form rather than improving Rotom’s battle strength.
• Chu Xin released Luo Luo in its Breeding Rotom Phone Form, surprising Chu Lian and the audience.
• Chen Huan explained that Rotom Phone could store information, analyze Pokémon, and provide Monster Handlers with breeding support, then announced plans for other Rotom forms.

After the research conference, Chu Xin showed Bai Yuan how Luo Luo’s Breeding Rotom abilities worked and continued training Kaka to learn Air Slash. When Kaka still struggled after weeks of practice, Bai Le and Zhuo Xing found Chu Xin resting and asked what was wrong.

• Chu Lian asked Chen Huan about commercializing Breeding Rotom, and Chen Huan revealed that Chu Xin had suggested its development and owned the first one.
• Bai Yuan asked Chu Xin to demonstrate Luo Luo’s diagnostic abilities on Scyther, but Luo Luo found no way to improve the already strong Pokémon.
• Chu Xin trained Kaka to learn Air Slash, but Kaka failed to master the move before they left Magic City Academy.
• After returning to Jindu Academy, Chu Xin continued training Kaka for two weeks, while Kaka became more proficient with Burst Aura but made no progress on Air Slash.
• Bai Le and Zhuo Xing found Chu Xin at the Lounge, noticed he was troubled, and offered to help.

Chu Xin sought help teaching Kaka ranged attacks and learned that the Wudang Gym might be able to teach him Wudang Swordsmanship. He visited Chen Huan to ask about going to Wudang Mountain, and Chen Huan agreed to answer his questions.

• Chu Xin told Bai Le and Zhuo Xing that Kaka had overwhelmed Bai Yuan's Scyther in close combat but lost once Scyther took flight, and that Kaka could not learn Air Slash.
• Bai Le suggested that Chu Xin seek training at the Wudang Gym, explaining that gyms taught advanced skills and that Wudang was renowned for swordsmanship.
• Chu Xin considered Bai Le's suggestion and went to the Research Center to consult Chen Huan, a Gym Leader, about Wudang Mountain.
• Chen Huan agreed to answer Chu Xin's questions, though he privately knew little about gym affairs.
