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

"Okay, then it's you I choose!" Ning Xian happily lifted Eevee above her head.

Since Ning Xian had decided to choose Ibu, the two stopped wandering around and returned to the meeting point.

There are already several people here.

Chapter 13 The Challenge from the Class Monitor

After a while, everyone gradually returned.

To Ye Feng's surprise, Gu Siming actually chose an Arbok.

Perhaps noticing Ye Feng's gaze, Gu Siming offered an explanation: "I don't know why, but the moment I saw this child, I had a strange feeling, like... how should I put it..."

"Is it destined to be this?" Ye Feng asked tentatively.

“Yes, yes, that’s the feeling, so I didn’t hesitate and brought it back.” Gu Siming smiled and scratched the chin of the snake, looking like he was teasing a puppy, and the snake looked very comfortable.

Ye Feng nodded. If it's Arbok, evolving into Arbok later would be a good choice. Poison-type Pokémon can still be quite unpredictable in battles.

"Wow, it's a little dragon? Class monitor, where did you find it?"

Suddenly, the students stirred with excitement. It turned out that Zhang Qiang had returned with a little fire dragon.

Charmander? Ye Feng looked over in surprise. It turned out to be one of the three Fire-type starter Pokémon. He hadn't expected Zhang Qiang to be so lucky.

"I got a little luckier," Zhang Qiang said with a smug smile.

The little fire dragon following Zhang Qiang also proudly raised its chin; the two seemed quite well-matched.

Zhang Qiang suddenly looked at Ye Feng and raised his chin provocatively.

?

Zhang Qiang walked over and said provocatively to Ye Feng, "How about it? I have a Pokémon now too. Want to have a battle right away?"

Upon hearing Zhang Qiang's words, the others began to jeer.

Ye Feng was speechless. Why was this guy doing it again?

"Forget it, you just got the little dragon, let's wait a while before talking about it." Ye Feng waved his hand.

Trainers who have just acquired a Pokémon often lack a lot of chemistry with their Pokémon, while Ralts has been trained for some time, and Ye Feng doesn't want to bully it.

“It’s alright, you haven’t had your Pokémon for very long either. We’re all in the same boat.” Zhang Qiang showed no intention of backing down.

"···"

Is Zhang Qiang a bit off? I don't even have any interaction with him, so why is he always staring at me?

Ye Feng was a little helpless. Seeing that Zhang Qiang had no intention of giving up and that the classmates next to him were also making a fuss, he had no choice but to agree. He also wanted to see how well Ralts had trained during this period.

"Then come with me. I saw a battleground when I came over. Let's go over there."

The Pokémon Base is equipped with several battle arenas, and many people will have a battle after obtaining a Pokémon to see how it is doing.

However, there were hardly any people on the battlefield at this time, only Ye Feng's class was there.

The two stood facing each other.

"Go, Charmander!" Zhang Qiang waved his hand, and Charmander roared and rushed into the arena.

Ye Feng took the Poké Ball off his chest and casually tossed it away.

After Ralts passed its initial growth phase, it became less attached to Leafwind and mostly stayed obediently in its Poké Ball.

A flash of white light, and Ralts appeared on the field.

The two elves stared at each other, their gazes colliding and sparking.

"Charmander, use Ember!"

After receiving a Pokémon, the trainer will receive detailed information about the Pokémon from the breeding center, including its growth status, skills, and so on. Zhang Qiang was now commanding it quite skillfully.

On the contrary, Ye Feng made no move, letting the sparks fly towards Ralts.

Seeing this scene, Zhang Qiang laughed triumphantly.

No matter how well Ye Feng studies, when it comes to actual combat, isn't he still the same?

Zhang Qiang found Ye Feng increasingly displeasing. Not only was Ye Feng so close to the girl he liked, but recently Ye Feng's grades had surpassed his own and even Ning Xian's, firmly placing him first in the class, which Zhang Qiang simply couldn't accept.

"Get away quickly!"

Seeing that Ye Feng had no reaction, everyone became anxious.

As the sparks drew closer, Ye Feng and Ralts remained unmoved until they were about to hit each other. Then, Ye Feng's eyes flickered, and Ralts suddenly vanished from the spot.

"This is... teleportation?" Zhang Qiang was shocked, and immediately realized how Ralts had dodged the attack.

Ralts appeared behind Charmander, raised its little hand, and its invisible psychic power instantly grabbed Charmander and lifted it into the air.

"What?! Charmander, break free!" Not hearing Ye Feng's command, Zhang Qiang didn't know how to direct Charmander for a moment. Unexpectedly, Ralts suddenly appeared behind him and controlled Charmander.

The little dragon struggled desperately, but it was completely immobilized by the superpower.

"Throw it out."

Controlling Charmander with psychic powers is very mentally taxing, since Charmander isn't furniture and can struggle, which further depletes Ralts's mental energy.

Charmander was thrown out by the superpower and crashed heavily to the ground, letting out a pitiful howl.

"Charmander, keep using Ember, I don't believe your Ralts can keep dodging." Zhang Qiang clenched his fist.

Ralts naturally wouldn't use Teleport to dodge attacks all the time; using it continuously would be a bit strenuous for it now, but there was no need for it. Ye Feng had just been testing its reaction speed in actual combat.

Charmander kept spewing sparks, while Ralts effortlessly dodged the attacks as if strolling in a garden.

Ye Feng smiled slightly. As a Psychic-type Pokémon, Ralts' moves are hard to defend against, but its stamina and defense are a major weakness. Therefore, Ye Feng pays great attention to training Ralts' speed and reaction.

Although Charmander was breathing fire continuously, its attacks were not actually very frequent, making it relatively easy for Ralts to dodge.

Seeing that the sparks were not hitting their mark and the little dragon's stamina was dwindling, Zhang Qiang became anxious.

"Charmander, charge forward and use Claw Attack!"

Charmander roared and charged towards Ralts, its claws glowing white as it swung down forcefully.

"Use your telekinesis to grab it!" Ye Feng waved his hand.

Ralts raised its little hand, and the invisible psychic power once again surrounded Charmander. However, this time it wasn't so easy. With the power of its claw attack, Charmander was blocked, but it was indeed slowly getting closer.

Soon, the white-glowing claws were about to attack Ralts.

"fry!"

Ralts let out a soft cry, and a surge of psychic power caused a violent explosion that sent Charmander flying.

This is a method of using psychic powers that Ye Feng researched. By detonating psychic powers around himself, he can knock away nearby enemies and cause considerable damage. Although it will also cause damage to himself, Ralts itself has a high resistance to psychic-type moves, so the damage is very minor compared to being hit by the opponent's attack.

The little dragon let out a miserable cry and fell to the ground, motionless.

"Charmander?!" Zhang Qiang shouted, but Charmander struggled for a moment and failed to get up. It was clear that the explosion had caused it considerable damage.

"Okay, that's it!"

Liu Ye clapped his hands and walked out. He had watched the entire battle and was very satisfied with Ye Feng's performance. In contrast, Zhang Qiang acted somewhat impulsively.

Calm, decisive, and with a deep understanding of his own Pokémon, he has moved beyond conventional moves and has begun to explore how his Pokémon can utilize his own abilities.

"The first battle should be stopped short of injury. If it continues, the Pokémon will get hurt. There's no need for that now."

Zhang Qiang ran over to the little dragon and checked on it. He breathed a sigh of relief. The little dragon wasn't seriously injured. If it had been seriously injured in its first battle, he would have regretted it.

Ralts teleported to Ye Feng's shoulder and nuzzled his cheek affectionately.

Ye Feng patted its head affectionately, then put Ralts back into its Poké Ball.

Liu Ye looked at everyone and said, "Alright, now that everyone has received their Pokémon, let's go back. When you get home, spend more time bonding with your Pokémon. In the early stages of Pokémon training, building a bond is the most important thing. Also, remember to activate your Trainer ID at the Pokémon Center."

Everyone nodded to indicate that they understood, and then followed Liu Ye on the way back.

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

On their way home, Ye Feng and Ning Xian walked together as usual.

"Ye Feng, your Ralts is amazing! It completely overwhelmed Zhang Qiang's Charmander!" Ning Xian excitedly waved her little fist.

Ye Feng smiled. He wasn't surprised at all by the outcome of the battle: "I've been training Ralts for a while now, while Zhang Qiang only just got Charmander. Even if that Charmander has great talent, this result is quite normal. The key is this summer vacation. Nobody knows how much Charmander will have grown by the time school starts."

That's one of the three Fire-type starter Pokémon. As long as you don't raise it wrong, its combat power will naturally increase rapidly, especially when it evolves into Charizard. That power is no joke. Just like Red's Mega Charizard in the anime, it was simply outrageous, it even defeated Mewtwo, which is a legendary Pokémon!

However, my Ralts won't be bad either. Gardevoir, the Psychic Queen, I wonder how it compares to Charizard.

Ye Feng has already decided on Ralts' training path: a mobile turret route, focusing on enhancing its attack power while also training its reaction speed and agility.

The scenario for future battles will be like this: Go ahead and hit me, you can't hit me, right? Okay, it's my turn, I'll take you down in one move, heh heh, what can you do to me now?

If they could learn Mega Evolution, they would be absolutely invincible!

However, Ye Feng had carefully investigated and found that this world had no research on Mega Evolution at all, and he couldn't find any information on Mega Stones and Key Stones, so he didn't even know if they existed in this world.

Chapter 14: The Concept of Energy Cubes

Applications for new Trainer IDs have already been submitted in advance. Now that everyone has received their starter Pokémon, they can take their Pokémon to the Pokémon Center to register and activate their own Trainer ID.
