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

For the battling type, the main focus is on battling lessons, with not many theoretical lessons. These lessons are mostly geared towards training, since not every trainer can find a trainer partner, and the Pokémon still need to be taken care of by themselves.

Then came the election of class officers, which was naturally conducted through self-nomination.

Ye Feng also joined in the fun and was surprisingly selected as the class's entertainment committee member—the reason was ridiculous: being handsome made him a good representative of the class.

Ye Feng was both amused and exasperated, but he could also sense that his classmates were quite kind; otherwise, they wouldn't have used such a reason to make him the entertainment committee member.

···

An hour later, Ye Feng carried the books back to his dormitory.

Then, he went out. Students from the same floor came over to visit, wanting to invite Ye Feng to participate in club recruitment, but they couldn't find him. They couldn't help but sigh that he was another winner in life, probably out having fun with his girlfriend.

Unless he has a girlfriend, why would he run off right after the start of the semester? He can't possibly be training Pokémon, can he?

Ye Feng did indeed go to train Pokémon, but that's not entirely accurate; he and Guo Pengfei went to evolve Growlithe.

Before leaving Jinghai City, Ye Feng received a Fire Stone from his parents—a top-quality Fire Stone. No wonder it took so long; heaven knows how many procedures were involved in getting it.

After registering with the administrator, I paid for the credits—each new student receives a certain number of credits upon enrollment, based on their college entrance exam scores; once those are used up, they have to earn more themselves. Guo Pengfei, as an accompanying student, didn't need to pay for credits, but he couldn't release any Pokémon inside.

After entering, Ye Feng found a quiet spot with plenty of sunlight. He had Kirlia keep watch to prevent others from disturbing them, and then took out a Fire Stone to evolve Growlithe.

Looking at the top-quality Fire Stone in his hand, Ye Feng sighed. He knew what price his parents had paid to obtain it, and he had to work hard, otherwise he would be letting them down.

"Growlithe, calm down, feel the sunlight, absorb more fire-attribute energy, and tell me when you're done," Ye Feng instructed Growlithe.

Guo Pengfei put the testing collar on Growlithe, then opened the tablet, looked at it for a while, and said, "Growlithe is in good condition now. It can evolve after absorbing enough energy."

Ye Feng nodded, staring intently at the Growlithe who was closing its eyes to soak up the sunlight.

"That's about it," Guo Pengfei said softly.

At the same time, Growlithe opened its eyes and barked at Ye Feng.

Ye Feng nodded and decisively placed the Fire Stone on Growlithe's head.

As Growlithe came into contact with the Fire Stone, a blue-white light of evolution instantly enveloped Growlithe, and its body began to grow taller and larger until it was a head taller than Ye Feng.

The evolution process was short, and soon the majestic Arcanine appeared before the two.

The evolved Arcanine's appearance changed drastically. First of all, its height increased by more than twice. Originally, it was about the same height as Ye Feng's thigh, but now it is almost a head taller than Ye Feng, reaching a full 2.2 meters.

Its fluffy flaxen fur covers its entire face, with an orange ring around its eyes that makes it look a bit like a pair of sunglasses; its body has black and orange stripes like a tiger, fluffy fur is wrapped around its paws, and its tail is longer and more flowing.

"Ow~~~"

Arcanine raised its head, and its long bark echoed throughout the entire sunroom.

Chapter 89: The Back-to-School Activities - Club Recruitment

"So cool!" Ye Feng and Guo Pengfei stared at the Arcanine with shining eyes, their eyes practically sparkling.

Arcanine took a step and ran around in the spacious Sunny House, with a barrier of air faintly visible in front of him.

"Is this lightning speed?" Ye Feng was overjoyed.

I knew it was the right choice to let Growlithe learn Agility. While I'm not sure if there's a direct link between Extreme Speed ​​and Agility, having an extra move isn't a bad thing.

Soon, the speeddog had run enough and came to Ye Feng, bending down to signal Ye Feng to come up.

Ye Feng rubbed his hands together, excitedly climbed onto Arcanine's back, turned around and saw Kirlia looking at him expectantly, smiled and waved: "Kirlia, want to come on up?"

Kirlia's eyes lit up. After hesitating for half a second, she teleported to sit down in front of Ye Feng.

"Run, Growlithe!" Ye Feng patted Growlithe's neck.

"Awooo!" Arcanine barked, activated its Extreme Speed, and ran off with gusts of wind.

After enjoying a great time riding the Gryphon, Ye Feng got off with satisfaction, knowing he would have a super cool mount from now on!

Guo Pengfei looked at the tablet and said, "Hmm, Arcanine is in good condition, or rather, excellent. The top-quality Fire Stone contains ample and pure Fire-type energy, which has completely unleashed Growlithe's accumulated potential. This evolution has resulted in a significant improvement."

···

The first-year curriculum is quite comprehensive, mainly including Pokémon energy theory, move theory, evolution theory, battle lessons, etc. These are all essential knowledge that trainers must master in the process of raising Pokémon.

Among them, Ye Feng was most interested in energy science and technique science.

The energy emanating from Pokémon is so magical, with eighteen attributes that give rise to hundreds of moves. Even after so much research, humans have yet to fully understand it.

Furthermore, the next stage of the Spiral Psychic Ball involves incorporating energy of other attributes into it, thereby unleashing a power that is difficult to achieve with a single attribute through the conflict and reaction between different attributes.

The changes in a single attribute are enough for humankind to study, let alone the combination of multiple attributes. Ye Feng is researching the fusion of energy. In fact, someone had proposed this before, but later abandoned it due to various difficulties.

The study of moves allows you to understand the principles behind Pokémon moves in detail, which will definitely help you develop your own moves in the future.

The professor who teaches energy science is an elderly man with white hair; I heard he's a senior researcher at a research institute.

The first lesson didn't cover the textbook content. Instead, he took everyone to the battle arena, letting his Pokémon demonstrate their moves while boasting about how powerful energy theory was, how awesome he was, and how many great trainers he had trained.

His Firestorm Beast and the Great Geranium used Fire Oath and Grass Oath, combining the two moves to create a sea of ​​fire that was truly astonishing. The raging flames distorted the air itself.

Right next to the sea of ​​fire, the professor talked at length about everything from what he had learned in class to what he had learned outside of class, making everyone very interested in energy science.

In the Firefield, except for Fire-type Pokémon and Pokémon with the Magic Defense ability, they will continuously suffer from fire burn damage, making it a very useful tactic in double and triple battles.

At the same time, Ye Feng also knew that the Oath of Fire and the Oath of Water could be combined to create Rainbow Field, which could increase the probability of additional effects appearing on moves.

These two are also the most basic, methods of changing energy through combinations of moves.

Ye Feng was very interested.

Since the oaths of water, fire, and grass can form a combo attack, my idea of ​​adding other attributes to the Spiral Psychic Ball should be correct, but perhaps I've taken too big a step.

Since fusion is not feasible, perhaps we should start by studying combination.

···

After class, class monitor Leng Minghui—who, contrary to his name, is a very enthusiastic person, which is why he was elected class monitor—created a new group chat without the counselor. Only then did everyone start chatting and having fun.

“We don’t have class tomorrow. I checked the campus forum, and it turns out that clubs are recruiting new members, especially the combat club. I think everyone is interested, right? How many people want to join? If there are a lot of people, we can organize a trip together to cheer on the participants. What do you all think?” Leng Minghui.

The class monitor spoke up, and it was something everyone was interested in. Everyone said they wanted to go. What would it mean if the combat majors didn't join the combat club? Even if they didn't get selected, it would be good to join in the fun.

The recruitment rules for the battle club are simple—just battle. Go to the arena and participate in one or more battles. Performance is judged regardless of winning or losing. Those who perform well can pass the assessment and join the club.

Moreover, joining a battle club has many benefits.

First, you can use your membership certificate to receive a new Pokémon at the school's breeding center at half price.

Most people still only have two Pokémon, while some have three. Although a lot of credits are still required after the half-price discount, this qualification can be retained for a long time, so it is still very attractive.

The breeding center at Imperial Capital University may not be as large as the breeding base, but the quality of the Pokémon there is by no means inferior, and with a bit of luck, you might even encounter rare Pokémon.

Secondly, and most importantly, it allows you to participate in the school team selection process.

That's right, the school team.

Before Ye Feng's generation, open competitions between schools only existed after entering university, and only those who joined the school team had the opportunity to participate in open competitions and make a name for themselves.

Ye Feng was lucky to have encountered educational reforms, which gave him the opportunity to participate in the first rookie tournament.

The selection of school team members is usually prioritized from the competition clubs. Only when there are no qualified people will open recruitment within the school. However, such a phenomenon has never occurred.

Therefore, if you want to join the school team, the only way is basically to join the competitive club.

This recruitment drive for clubs, including the Battle Club, will last for four days. If you miss it, you'll have to wait until next year.

Most of the school's attention was focused on the battle club. If anyone performed well, their name would spread throughout the entire campus the next day, no, on the same day.

"You can earn a lot of credits by joining the gaming club, and club activities also give you credits. If you join, you won't have to worry about your basic source of credits."

At school, you need academic credits to exchange for resources and use training facilities.

Of course, you can buy resources off-campus with money, but the school has a readily available resource library with an exceptionally rich variety and quantity. Sometimes, even money can't buy the resources you want outside...

The resources are okay, but the training facilities on campus can only be used with credits, so credits are very important.

Ye Feng looked at the introductions of the clubs on the campus forum, his heart filled with anticipation.

Although I don't care much about winning or losing, I'll still send Kirlia out just to be on the safe side.

Trainers from prestigious schools should be significantly better than those from battle clubs or public battlegrounds, right? Arcanine has only recently evolved and isn't yet familiar with its evolved power; it would be embarrassing if it were to fail.

Chapter 90 You will have priority in choosing a spouse during your university years.

The next day

Recruitment activities for all clubs began at 9 a.m.

However, the main focus these days is definitely the battle club.

The No. 3 Battle Arena at Imperial University is a dedicated event space for the Battle Club.

Teito University has three battle arenas. Arenas 1 and 2 are public spaces, while arena 3 is reserved for battle clubs and is sometimes used for various on-campus and off-campus battle competitions.

The fact that a battle club can monopolize a battle gym shows just how important Pokémon battles are.
