Bai Hao arrived at the service hall early.

Not long after I returned to my room last night, a staff member contacted me and said they wanted to upgrade my Trainer certification.

The certification for a "Normal Trainer" is simple: catch three or more Pokémon, and have three of them rated as "Normal".

[Elite Trainer] requires the trainer to have at least six [Elite] Pokémon.

To become a Gym Leader, a Trainer needs to collect at least eight Gym Badges.

Bai Hao's frog cub and Kira are both Elite Four level Pokémon.

But he only has these two elves!

If we really have to stick to the hard requirements, Bai Hao doesn't even meet the standard of an "ordinary trainer"!

However, nothing is absolute.

Bai Hao is classified as having made significant contributions and possessing exceptional strength with a single Pokémon.

With these special regulations, he can also upgrade his trainer certification.

Bai Hao has already been promoted to [Elite Trainer].

If there are any other consequences after the certification upgrade... it's that [non-novice trainers will be unable to participate in the National College Entrance Examination].

But what impact will this have on Bai Hao?

Does an 18-year-old "elite trainer" still need to take the college entrance exam?

This certification is the "no-exam admission certificate" for all universities nationwide!

Bai Hao had just retrieved his identification from the [Trainer Certification] window.

I then received a message from the staff.

Bai Hao quickly arrived at the designated location.

An elderly man and an ordinary-looking middle-aged man were already waiting again.

Bai Hao immediately clasped his hands in a salute and said...

"Sorry, I'm late."

Zhang Zhiwei smiled and waved.

"You've come at just the right time; we've just arrived too."

As soon as Zhang Zhiwei finished speaking, he suddenly looked up at the sky.

"Your people have arrived."

Bai Hao immediately released his senses.

An elf is approaching from afar at an unimaginable speed!

A hundred miles can pass in the blink of an eye!

Before Bai Hao could even marvel, an orange, bipedal dragon-shaped Pokémon appeared before him.

"Dragonite?!"

Bai Hao's pupils contracted, and he exclaimed in surprise.

The person Old Zhang mentioned yesterday who came to pick him up was this Dragonite?!

Dragonite slowly descended to the ground, and its trainer behind it finally revealed its true identity—

A middle-aged man with a resolute face and a strong physique.

As soon as the man landed, he walked towards Zhang Zhiwei.

He cupped his hands in a respectful gesture of courtesy befitting a junior, his tone extremely deferential.

"teacher."

Zhang Zhiwei smiled and nodded, then pointed to Bai Hao beside him.

"This is Bai Hao. I'll have to trouble you to take him to my junior brother with your Dragonite."

Bai Hao's eyelids twitched, and he cupped his hands in greeting to the middle-aged man.

"Hello Liu Guanjun, my name is Bai Hao."

The newcomer was none other than Liu Xuan, the current champion of the Dragon Kingdom and the champion of the 2020 Global Championship!

To Bai Hao's surprise, Liu Xuan was actually Zhang Zhiwei's student!

Liu Xuan did not refuse and immediately nodded in agreement.

"no problem."

"Woo!"

Dragonite nodded with a smile in agreement.

Bai Hao could tell that Zhang Zhiwei and the others had important matters to attend to, so he didn't hesitate and immediately said goodbye to Zhang Zhiwei.

Liu Xuan's Dragonite is larger than a normal Dragonite.

He is nearly six meters tall.

Bai Hao didn't feel restricted sitting on its back.

"Woo~"

Dragonite reminded Bai Hao of something, then gently flapped its wings.

The surrounding scenery stretched and changed instantly.

In the blink of an eye, it rose to an altitude of several thousand meters.

Dragonite's Protective Terrain enveloped Bai Hao behind it.

Bai Hao felt absolutely nothing was amiss.

Dragonite flapped its wings again, and the surrounding clouds vanished instantly.

Bai Hao suddenly became curious again.

Just how powerful is this ace Pokémon of the "world's strongest trainer"?

Dragonite (Dragon, Flying)

[Rank: 1v95 (Champion)]

【…】

Individual value (186)...

[Qualification: Champion]

Bai Hao frowned slightly, lost in thought.

Zhang Zhiwei's Metagross stats are much stronger than Liu Xuan's Dragonite, but Zhang Zhiwei has never won the [Champion] title.

The world's understanding of him is limited to "the strongest [Superpower King] of all time, the Metagross Monster that is invincible among his peers".

In Liu Xuan's lineup for the World Championships 20, only his ace Pokémon, Dragonite, was a Champion-level Pokémon; the other five were all at the peak of the Elite Four level.

The player lineup for each World Championship has been the same.

It seems that the [Champion Level] has many secrets hidden.

It seems that the Dragon Kingdom likes to keep good things hidden away...

The stronger Zhang Zhiwei remained silent, while the slightly weaker Liu Xuan was a world champion.

Furthermore... why is Zhang Zhiwei's Metagross in a [severely injured] state?

Why is the lineup for the championship always one champion plus five superstars?

Are they all hiding their trump cards together?

Or is it that... each trainer can only have one [Champion-level] trainer at most?

"Woo!"

Before Bai Hao could figure out these doubts, Kuailong suddenly called out to him.

Bai Hao looked around and found himself in a courtyard.

"We're here now?"

Bai Hao immediately jumped off the Dragonite's back, gently patted its soft belly, and thanked it.

"Thank you for bringing me here."

"Woo!"

Dragonite squinted its eyes slightly, enjoying Bai Hao's caress.

At this moment, an old man slowly walked towards Bai Hao.

"Are you Bai Hao?"

Bai Hao turned to look at the old man.

Unlike the tall, strong, and energetic Zhang Zhiwei,
