Pokémon: Hard work pays off, moves can be upgraded infinitely.

The next day, early in the morning.

Warm sunlight streamed into the bedroom, making me feel cozy and comfortable.

Suddenly, a damp, cool sensation appeared on Mu Yun's cheek.

Good morning, Bingbing~~

Mu Yun knew without even opening his eyes that it was Bingbing calling him to get up.

This way of doing it is just like a puppy.

That said, the little fox seems to have a habit of licking people too.

While pondering, Mu Yun quickly changed his clothes and took the clingy Bingbing to the bathroom to wash up.

After washing up and having a simple breakfast, Mu Yun put Xiao Du and Bo Feng into the deluxe sphere.

As for Bingbing?

He originally intended to put them into the Poké Ball together, but as soon as he saw Mu Yun pick up the Poké Ball, she looked at him with pitiful eyes.

Meeting those pale blue eyes, Mu Yun decisively reached out, pulled her into his arms, and gently stroked her.

It's normal for a child to not like staying in a Poké Ball since she's still young. Anyway, she's not big or heavy, so I'll just hold her.

And so, Mu Yun carried Bingbing downstairs and scanned a shared bicycle from the Electric Mouse brand.

This time, his target was no longer the school, but the Trainers Association that Wang He had arranged to meet with him in advance.

The Trainers Association is an official organization that manages all trainers.

The registration of Pokémon, the certification of trainer levels, and the review of various city, provincial, regional, and even national competitions are all handled by the Trainer Association.

Of course, the Trainers Association in Matsue City doesn't have that much power, since it's just a city-level branch. Above it are the provincial capital branch and the headquarters located in the capital.

Besides the Trainers Association, there are similar organizations such as the Breeders Association, the Coordinators Association, and the Observers Association.

Its function is similar to the Trainers Association, but its scope of responsibility is smaller, only managing people in the corresponding profession.

Soon, Mu Yun, carrying a large tactical backpack, rode his bicycle to the outskirts of Songjiang City.

Because of its vast size, the Trainers Association cannot be located in the city center and is usually situated on the outskirts of the city.

Despite its remote location, the area is bustling with people.

Sure enough, it was only a little past seven o'clock, and there were already quite a few trainers of different appearances chatting in twos and threes at the entrance of the association.

There were one or two smaller elves around them.

Upon entering the association, one is greeted by a spacious hall that covers an area of ​​over 100 square meters and is several tens of meters high.

On the first floor of the lobby, there are many large screens, some scrolling subtitles, and others like the notice screens at a train station, filled with rows of numbers and Chinese characters.

To be honest, it's a bit like the mercenary hall where you pick up missions in anime.

Perhaps because everyone was busy, even though Mu Yun was holding a very rare, strangely shaped six-tailed creature in his arms, most people only glanced at it and then looked away.

A significant number of people didn't even look at it, busy with their own things.

"Instructor Wang!"

Soon, Mu Yun passed through the crowd and saw Wang He's figure.

The main thing was that there was a steel armored raven standing next to him, which looked very conspicuous.

"Okay, come with me."

Upon seeing Mu Yun, Wang He's serious face revealed a barely perceptible smile. After a brief greeting, he led Mu Yun into the association.

As he walked, he asked, "What do you think of wild elves?"

"Wild elves?"

Hearing Wang He's words, Mu Yun pondered for a moment, then said, "Most wild elves who have lived in cities since childhood are gentle in nature. Even wild elves, unless they are particularly ferocious, will generally not harm humans on their own initiative."

Elves are very simple creatures. Apart from a few elves who are inherently fierce, most elves are actually very friendly.

"A very standard answer, no wonder you're number one in the grade." Wang He nodded and said jokingly.

"But besides those in the city and the wild, there are also some wild Pokémon that roam between the city and the wilderness, living in the suburbs of the city. What do you think of these wild Pokémon?" Wang He continued.

Drifting between the city and the wilderness?

Hearing Wang He's words, Mu Yun fell into deep thought.

Elves living in the city are accustomed to the presence of humans and understand who the masters of the city are, so most of them are gentle in nature.

As for the docile ones, they can't survive in the city either.

While the elves who live in the wilderness are quite strong and capable of fighting, they still rarely attack humans.

After all, trainers who can go into the wild are all quite strong.

Their generations of experience taught them that humans are very powerful and should not be provoked lightly.

So, what kind of elf would be caught between these two?

Better than city spirits? More human-like than those in the wild?

"Both capable and intelligent?" Mu Yun asked hesitantly.

Listening to Mu Yun's carefully considered answer, Wang He nodded in satisfaction and then said, "Excellent! These elves not only possess considerable strength, but also, due to their extensive contact with humans, have a far greater understanding of people than wild elves, and even possess cunning and treachery comparable to humans!"

"Elves are very innocent creatures, but not all elves can remain innocent forever."

At this point, Wang He's tone became noticeably heavier: "Sometimes, a harsh environment can give rise to a group of cunning and wicked people who are not inherently bad."

As he spoke, Wang He led Mu Yun to a room. He took out a black, metallic card from his chest and scanned it at the scanner in front of the door. Suddenly, an electronic voice sounded.

"Beep! Good morning, esteemed Trainer Wang He. Welcome to the Songjiang City Trainers Association!"

As soon as the sound was heard, the door opened.

Inside was a small room resembling a tea room, with three electronic screens of different sizes, as well as a sofa and coffee table for relaxation.

"Come in."

Wang He retrieved the Steel Armored Raven, then led Mu Yun inside.

"This is the Trainers Association's VIP room, which every three-star professional trainer can use for free. Compared to the mission hall outside, it's quieter here, with more missions to choose from, more detailed information, and dedicated customer service representatives available for assistance," Wang He explained simply.

After saying that, he looked at Mu Yun: "A qualified trainer isn't just someone who memorizes book knowledge and has played a few school matches. The most important thing is to have the ability to solve problems and a courageous heart!"

"And these are things you can't learn by just staying in school!"

"Take a look, these are a few tasks I've picked out for you."

As he spoke, Wang He swiped on one of the screens, and several task information popped up instantly.
