I haven't decided on a name for my Pokémon trainer yet.

Chapter 138 No Solution Left, Next Training Plan

Ye Feng contacted Shang Yixue, his senior team leader and a high-level trainer, who might know something.

"Oh, a method for training mental strength? Of course I know that." On the phone, Shang Yixue was doing something, and the sounds of splashing water could be heard from time to time. "Just meditate with a Psychic-type Pokémon. It's the simplest method."

"But this method is too inefficient. Is there a better way?" Ye Feng asked after a moment of silence. This method was simply too slow. Who knew when it would meet the requirements for Mega Evolution?

“Um, yes, I do, but…” Shang Yixue hesitated for a moment.

"Captain..." Ye Feng couldn't help but ask, he was very concerned about the source of Shang Yixue's voice.

"What's wrong?" Shang Yixue asked, puzzled.

"What are you doing?"

"I'm taking a shower."

"···"

"...??"

"You were taking a shower while you were on the phone?" Ye Feng's eyes widened, and he felt his breathing become a little rapid. Although he didn't usually pay much attention to her, Shang Yixue was actually a well-known beauty at Imperial University, in addition to being the captain of the school team.

Her looks and figure are naturally outstanding, and she has many suitors.

This senior student is talking on the phone while taking a shower? That's so exciting!

"What's wrong? Are you imagining things now? Has the little brat grown all his hair yet?" Shang Yixue didn't care at all.

Shang Yixue prefers older men and has absolutely no interest in younger men like herself.

Ye Feng was like a little brother to her.

"Nonsense, of course I'm all grown up! I'm 18! I have a girlfriend!" Ye Feng retorted instinctively.

"···"

"···"

The two fell into an awkward silence.

Ye Feng realized that his reaction was a bit too much, and that what he said could easily be misinterpreted.

Shang Yixue realized that she seemed to have misunderstood.

"Um, Captain, what's a more effective method?" Ye Feng coughed, feeling a bit embarrassed, and quickly changed the subject.

"Ah, oh! We have a master-level trainer in China who specializes in Psychic-type Pokémon. I heard her psychic abilities are incredibly strong, and she's privately known as a humanoid Pokémon. She should have some methods for training mental strength," Shang Yixue said, stopping what she was doing. Ye Feng could no longer hear the "plop" sound.

"Master Trainer?"

"Yes, Master Trainer."

"Then what you're saying is the same as not saying anything at all?" Ye Feng's face darkened. How could he possibly come into contact with a Master Trainer?

"Then I can't help you." Shang Yixue shrugged. "Anyway, I've told you the solution. It's up to you to figure out what to do. Okay, I'm hanging up now. I'm going to take a shower."

"Beep beep beep..."

Ye Feng stared blankly at the phone that had been hung up, a bewildered face reflected on the screen.

It's a pity, I should have just made a video call...

No!

Ye Feng punched himself. What was he thinking?

but···

Wow, is this the charm of a senior student? I can't resist!

-------------------------------------

Although I learned from Shang Yixue that there really is a Master Trainer known as the Humanoid Pokémon who might be able to help me.

But this is no less difficult than meditating with an elf...

Ye Feng then approached Dean Chen, but his answer was the same as Shang Yixue's: only two options were Pokémon Meditation and Master Trainer.

Ye Feng leaned on the balcony, resting his chin on his hand, watching the Gyarados swimming around in the pool, and sighed.

A master trainer...

"Do we really have to contact a master trainer?" Ye Feng hesitated.

Putting aside whether others are willing to guide them, the cultivation of superpowers is mostly a closely guarded secret, as you can guess from the fact that almost no one has superpowers nowadays.

What reason can an outsider give to get someone to teach them?

Mega Evolution is definitely something that can't be said, at least not now. So what other reason is there?

Practicing techniques would be easily seen through by the opponent, so this excuse is definitely not going to work, and might even incur the wrath of a master trainer.

Ye Feng scratched his head hard, feeling very annoyed.

Ye Feng glanced at the Arcanine and Acolyte playing on the grass and sighed—Pocket Monsters are so wonderful, carefree…

There's no good solution for training mental strength right now, so Ye Feng has to put aside his plans to contact Master Trainers and meditate with Gardevoir for the time being.

Every little bit helps. And if one day I suddenly have a burst of power and my mental strength is sufficient, it's not impossible.

···

And so, Ye Feng was forced to return to a peaceful life.

Meditation, continuing to develop energy cubes, training spirits...

After Gardevoir evolved, its strength was greatly enhanced once again, and it is conservatively estimated that it has crossed the threshold of advanced level.

Moreover, seemingly thanks to Mega Evolution, although the evolution was not complete, his understanding of life energy has been greatly improved, and he has become more adept at using Spiral Balls, no longer allowing his opponents to find weaknesses as before.

Ye Feng's original plan for mobile artillery platforms has been basically completed.

Ye Feng bought many TMs for his Pokémon, so now that they have evolved, they no longer need to worry about the burden of learning moves.

For example, Ye Feng bought Arcanine Thunder Fang, Fire Fang, Wild Volt, Flare Blitz, Stomp...

As for Gardevoir, well, it seems that if it has a Spin-type Pokémon, it doesn't need to learn any moves to improve its coverage. Ye Feng bought it some support-type moves, such as Protect, Grass Knot, and Power Swap.

Ye Feng even asked Shang Yixue for help, so that Gardevoir could learn to switch places, use Mystic Guard, and use Life Drop.

Especially the exchange of venues.

In the previous team battle, Ye Feng witnessed the immense usefulness of this move, directly countering Seoul University's "mutually assured destruction" tactic, with remarkable results.

This move might play a surprisingly useful role in future multiplayer battles.

As for Gyarados... it's been seriously training its tail strength lately, and it seems to be making good progress. It can now rub against paper for a second, whereas before it would tear with the slightest touch. It's made great progress... I guess.

Cocodora continues to work on its physical fitness, as it is currently unable to engage in any high-intensity training.

Ye Feng bought an upgraded version of the forced training device for his Pokémon. It can automatically adjust the weight level according to the Pokémon's physical condition, reducing the burden on the Pokémon while effectively improving the training effect.

Ye Feng looked at his campus card, which now only had a single-digit number of credits, and scratched his head.

It seems like we've run out of them again?

In order to learn the moves, we've been using the training facilities a lot lately, spending almost all our time there. Some of the move learning machines aren't available in the association's resource library and we have to exchange them for credits. In addition, the resources we've used to learn the moves have caused our once wealthy family to become destitute overnight.

Looks like I need to find a way to earn some credits.

Chapter 139 A Generous Gift from Dean Chen

"What? Why can't I apply to enter the secret realm?" Ye Feng tapped the table, full of doubt.

That day, Ye Feng arrived at the Secret Realm Management Office of Imperial University, intending to apply to enter the Secret Realm for exploration, hoping to catch some Pokémon and mine some resources to exchange for academic credits.

The administrator told him that his access to the secret realm had been locked.

"Well, I don't know either..." The administrator smiled awkwardly. She was only responsible for registering relevant information, and she had no idea that access was being locked.

The senior administrator naturally recognized Ye Feng, the most famous newcomer this year.

Not only is he handsome—unfortunately, he already has a girlfriend—but he is also a very strong trainer. He stole the show at the recruitment fair and freshman exchange meeting, making him a strong candidate for the next captain of the school team.

Just a few days ago, they defeated the captain of the Seoul National University team from Country H, and even got him banned for life. Country H even issued an apology statement...

Oh, the second to last point is that the captain brought it upon himself, and it has nothing to do with Ye Feng.

In short, almost everyone at Imperial University knows Ye Feng now.

Ye Feng successfully achieved his initial goal of becoming famous, and in a positive way.

"What on earth is going on?" Ye Feng scratched his head, completely baffled. How did his permissions get restricted when he was perfectly fine?

"Um, why don't you go ask your dean?" the administrator suggested tentatively.

"Alright then." Ye Feng clicked his tongue, sensing that this matter was not simple. If they couldn't enter the secret realm, perhaps...

Ye Feng went to the school gate and tried it. Sure enough, the campus card could not be used to access the gate. The security guard even ran out and chased Ye Feng back into the school, not allowing him to leave.

Ye Feng said that he couldn't leave even if he wanted to, because he had to swipe his campus card to enter and exit Imperial University.

Left with no other option, Ye Feng went to see Dean Chen.

In the dean's office, Dean Chen was sitting on the sofa, leisurely brewing tea.
