Pokémon Scenario: Intercepting Gible at the Start

"Let's have a celebration feast as a family today. Honey, open a can of Frog Food and bring it up!"

"Quack! Quack..."

Froghead frog, froghead frog, my name is froghead frog!

Okay... Grandpa can call me FrogFrog if he wants...

"Mom, prepare an extra bowl and chopsticks. I have two elf friends."

A short while later, Shang Qiu went upstairs to call Gardevoir and Ralts.

The moment he entered, Shang's parents were almost mesmerized.

How could there be such a beautiful fairy in this world, surpassing even those big stars?

My son is really something!

When they had almost finished eating, Shang Qiu took out a bank card and two elf eggs and handed them to his father.

"Dad, there's some money in here, you two can keep it for now."

"And these two elf eggs are both from Monini. They can help you with some work when they hatch."

"Elves?"

Mr. Shang glanced at the Pokémon egg and the bank card, then frowned. "Xiao Qiu, keep your money for yourself. Although I don't know much about Pokémon, I do know that trainers have a lot of expenses."

"Besides, it would be such a waste to give us these Pokémon. I heard that you guys are going to keep six Pokémon in college, so this is just enough."

Shang Qiu pointed to the Gible licking its plate and said, "Dad, these two Pokémon eggs aren't very helpful to me."

Look at Gible; it's practically the most talented Pokémon in the world, and Froakie and Gardevoir are also very strong.

"Besides, I'm quite familiar with the manager of the Growlithe breeding center, so I can buy these regular Pokémon eggs for a very low price!"

"Croak!"

Yes, yes, I can vouch for it. If the owner's stomach were any softer, it could even be taken for free!

......

The next morning, when Shang Qiu returned to school to pick up his report card, he suddenly saw a huge banner hanging at the school gate!

"Warmest congratulations to our graduate Shang Qiu for achieving first place in the city!"

"Warmest congratulations to our graduate Chen Ying for achieving the highest score in academic subjects in the city!"

"Wow, our school produced two first-time winners! I've never seen anything like this before, awesome!"

"Holy crap, our No. 3 Middle School has turned things around? They actually produced a student with the highest total score!"

All the students who returned to school to pick up their report cards couldn't help but admire the huge banner.

"Ji University starts in a few days, shall we go together?"

Shang Qiu was looking at the banner when he heard this and quickly turned around.

Chen Ying stood behind him, graceful and charming with a sweet smile.

"All right!"

Unfortunately, I just don't know how to say no. I was originally planning to go with Gardevoir!

Chapter 54 When One's Name Is Announced on the Imperial Examination

"This is awesome! This is awesome! I really have a keen eye for talent!"

Upon learning of Shang Qiu's grades, Jia Hongtao almost couldn't resist buying a TV station to promote her, and he was overjoyed in his office for a long time.

"Let's see who among our peers dares to laugh at me this time."

Jia Hongtao was sitting in his office when he casually made a phone call. After it rang once, he hung up.

A moment later, the phone rang, and the voice of the burly man who had ridden the fire-breathing dragon that day came through the line, "Master Jia, what's the matter?"

Jia Hongtao pretended not to hear and said in surprise, "Huh, how did you know that Jida University recruited the top student in the city?"

"Boring!" The big man slammed down the phone.

Jia Hongtao was thoroughly enjoying himself when he dialed another number and then hung up.

As the bell rang, someone asked, "Hey? Principal Xiong from No. 1 High School, how did you know our student got the highest score in the city...?"

After making several phone calls, Jia Hongtao felt that it was still not enough to express his feelings, so he simply waved to call over a teacher from the publicity office.

"Go buy some banners and hang them in prominent places in Yuxi District. The content should be 'Warmly celebrate the college entrance examination victory of Shang Qiu and Chen Ying from No. 3 Middle School, who have been admitted to Hebei University!'"

Shang Qiu thought he could leave after receiving his report card, but unexpectedly, Director Jia organized a school-wide assembly to commend and celebrate Shang Qiu's achievements!

He just got first place in the city, it's not like he subdued a near-god, why make such a big fuss?

Wait, I think I've already subdued a quasi-god? And a quasi-god with master-level potential at that, so everything's fine now.

Standing on the flag-raising platform, Shang Qiu could only smile at the thousands of students on the playground.

Director Jia must have been feeling frustrated for too long. Now that he has finally achieved first place and has been recruited by Jida University, he is overjoyed and wants the whole city to know.

"Students, our school has achieved excellent results in this year's college entrance examination."

Especially Shang Qiu and Chen Ying, one of them achieved the highest overall score in the city, and the other achieved the highest score in the city's academic subjects.

"Moreover, they were both admitted to Jizhong University, and they will definitely become some of the top trainers and breeders!"

Shang Qiu: "..."

Director Jia really went to great lengths to recruit students for Jida University... Even though it was he who chose Jida University, Director Jia made it sound like Jida University was very difficult to get into.

"Next, let's welcome Shang Qiu and Chen Ying to give their acceptance speeches!"

The school beauty from the lower grades pinned a big red flower on Shang Qiu, handed her a certificate of honor, and couldn't help but give her a light hug.

This ordeal... was even more exhausting than taking an exam.

Chen Tian, ​​sitting in the audience, looked at Shang Qiu and Chen Ying as if they were a perfect couple, and was so jealous he almost ground his teeth to powder.

Why should I, so young and rich, not be the one standing on the flag-raising platform with Chen Ying?

Shang Qiu was clearly a penniless pauper, a pauper who couldn't even get a fairy, so how did he become so powerful!

Chen Tian was about to explode; he refused to accept this!

Shang Qiu's voice rang out as he delivered his acceptance speech: "I would first like to thank the school and teachers for their guidance and support in achieving this result."

"Secondly, I would like to thank my classmates for their care. For example, Chen Ying stayed up all night to help me review, and Chen Tian lost ten million to me twice in total, which I used to train my sprites..."

When Chen Tian heard that Chen Ying had been tutoring Shang Qiu all night, he felt a sharp pain in his chest, even more painful than hearing that he had lost ten million.

"puff--"

He spat out a mouthful of sweet blood and fainted.

......

Farmers' Market Street, Yuxi District.

Shang Qiu's parents were frying dough sticks when a car suddenly stopped not far away.

Several workers got off the vehicle with their tools and began replacing the promotional slogans on the bulletin board.

"Why have you changed the slogan again? Wasn't it just changed for National Day?"

While serving tofu pudding to the guests, Shang's father glanced at it and casually remarked:

"It's probably another safety issue with the Pokémon promotion. Every year, there are safety incidents when students get their Pokémon."

Just then, a customer walked in and said, "You guessed wrong. This is an advertisement from Yuxi No. 3 Middle School. They say they've produced two outstanding students!"

A good student? Could it be referring to your own son? He was just interviewed yesterday.

Shang's mother ignored the fried dough sticks in the pot, wiped her hands, and went out to see the slogans in the workers' hands.

The promotional banner featured a portrait of her son, Shang Qiu, alongside a picture of a little girl who often came to their home to play with him.

The inscription reads: Congratulations to Shang Qiu and Chen Ying, students of Yuxi No. 3 Middle School, for winning first place in the city's total score and first place in the cultural score respectively, and being admitted to Jizhong University!

After taking a close look, Mrs. Shang burst into laughter, "Old man, come out and see, it's Xiao Qiu's advertisement!"

Mrs. Shang kept saying to the people around her, "That's my son, that's my son, my son won first place!"

Most of the people who come to the farmers' market to buy things and eat are parents, and you can feel the joy of Shang's mother.

Especially since their child is ranked first overall, they are almost certain to become a very strong trainer in the future.

The Shang family has produced a true dragon!

One customer joked, "Boss lady, your family has such a big celebration, you have to give us a discount!"

Mrs. Shang was in high spirits when she waved her hand and said generously, "A discount? Yes, yes, a discount is necessary."

Everything in my house is 50% off today!

A neighbor who sells roast duck nearby brought over ten ducks, saying, "We're happy today, everyone can have some, it's free!"

From now on, my ducks will be the champion roast ducks, haha!

"Okay, congratulations!"

Passersby hurriedly squeezed into the shop, shouting, "Come on, come on, come and eat, let's share in the good fortune of the top scholar!"

Customers flocked in from all around, and in no time the tables in the room were filled.

When Mrs. Shang saw so many guests coming in, she quickly greeted them, "Please wait a moment, everyone. There are so many people, I can't fry all the fried dough sticks here."

An older woman picked up her chopsticks and squeezed next to the oil pan, saying, "I know how to fry, I'll help you."

If anyone asks in the future, I can say that I fried dough sticks with the top scholar's mother!

"Hahaha." The people around laughed good-naturedly.

In less than half an hour, all the ingredients that Mr. Shang had prepared for the day were sold out.

Even raw eggs and unused stools were bought by customers, who said they wanted to share in the good fortune.

However... I didn't make a single penny; instead, I lost a thousand dollars.

But Shang's parents didn't care at all. They bought a bunch of meat at the farmers' market and even got a jar of good wine for the giblets.
