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

The next day.

After getting up early, Mu Yun rode a Garlic Toad brand shared bicycle to school.

Because the spectacular sight of leaping over the dragon gate would last for a day or even a day and a night, Mu Yun carried the black tactical backpack that Wang He had given him, which was filled with food for the day.

Soon, Mu Yun arrived at the school gate.

Because there was a three-day holiday after the end-of-month assessment, the school gate was deserted at this time, except for a security guard on duty and Mu Yun, who had just arrived.

After a brief greeting to the old man, Mu Yun went into the school to meet up with Wang He, and then they headed to Songjiang in the suburbs together.

Songjiang River is not only the largest river in Changqing Province, but also a vast water system that runs through the entire Northeast region.

It is hailed as one of the seven major water systems of the Yanhuang Alliance!

The Songjiang area outside Songjiang City is just a small section of the vast Songjiang River system.

But this small section of waterway alone sustains countless lives.

At this moment, traffic on both sides of the Songjiang River is already prohibited. Staff members in uniform have set up warning lines early on to prevent anglers from sneaking in.

Although some anglers are quite skilled, as the saying goes, "many ants can kill an elephant." Faced with the large number of Gyarados that are about to appear in Songjiang, even a top-tier Pokémon risks being killed.

Let alone ordinary people with mortal eyes.

For safety reasons, the Trainers Association does not allow trainers who have not received a mission to approach the area without authorization.

Of course, due to the limited number of members in the Trainers Association, a complete lockdown is impossible.

Therefore, they simply blocked off the largest gathering place for the annual Dragon Gate crossing.

The remaining relatively safe areas remain open.

However, none of this mattered to Mu Yun. Led by Wang He, he received a life jacket and information tag and easily crossed the cordon.

The wind in Songjiang, carrying the moisture of October, swept past the crowd. The cool air felt on the face, giving a slightly icy chill.

The river embankment was already packed with people, all wearing the same red life jackets and gathered in twos and threes.

Some looked older and were alone, while others, like Mu Yun, looked very young and were probably taken in by their elders.

Around them stood all sorts of elves.

Mu Yun glanced at it and saw that there were mostly Water-type and Flying-type Pokémon, as well as quite a few Grass-type and Electric-type Pokémon. These were all types that were suitable for attacking Gyarados.

In terms of level, they are also quite strong, with almost none below the professional level. The few senior-level Pokémon are probably those of people like him who were brought here by their elders.

Besides the scattered crowds, there was another group of people gathered on a slightly higher platform a little further away.

The area was separated by a temporary isolation barrier.

The people standing inside, both in terms of their aura and demeanor, looked completely different from the individual trainers who were receiving missions.

They were mostly dressed in sharp suits, and surrounded by security personnel; they were clearly important figures.

"Why are Elder Yue and Yan Hu here too?" Wang He also noticed the crowd. He squinted at them for a while and then muttered something strangely.

Mr. Yue, whose full name is Yue Jianguo, is the current president of the Songjiang City Trainers Association. He previously served as the head of the Songjiang Dojo and can be considered one of the most prestigious people in Songjiang City.

Yan Hu, on the other hand, is the current head of the Songjiang Dojo, a figure who possesses both strength and prestige.

Logically speaking, a small "leap over the dragon gate" is not enough to alarm these two important figures.

Moreover, it seems that neither of them is in the main seat; they appear to be accompanying someone else.

Is he a big shot from the province?

Wang He squinted slightly, observing carefully.

In fact, it wasn't just Wang He who was watching; many people around who recognized Yue Jianguo and Yan Hu were also curiously looking around, seemingly wanting to see who these two veteran dojo-level trainers were personally receiving.

Soon, two figures, one large and one small, appeared on the higher platform.

She was petite, about 1.5 meters tall, and a cute-looking girl.

Both tall figures were women.

She was a little over 1.6 meters tall, wearing a women's suit jacket and a beige knitted top. She had fair skin and a plump figure, but her expression looked very tense.

The other woman was tall, about 1.7 meters, and despite the slightly cool autumn weather, she was wearing a black sleeveless bodysuit, revealing toned arms and a healthy tan.

She wore a pair of dark gray cargo pants, which looked ordinary but were surprisingly eye-catching on her legs.

This was because her extremely exaggerated thigh muscles made the loose cargo pants bulge, and their size was even thicker than the waist of an average girl.

The exaggerated muscle definition makes it hard to believe that this is a woman's thigh.

"Guo Yi?"

Wang He recognized the woman in the beige knit top at a glance.

Guo Yi, the only daughter of the former principal of Songjiang No. 2 High School, is a three-star professional trainer and currently the director of teaching at Songjiang No. 2 High School. He was previously invited to teach practical classes at Songjiang No. 2 High School, but due to the recommendation of his teammates, he chose to go to Songjiang No. 1 High School instead.

Clearly, neither his status nor his abilities suggest that Guo Yi is the kind of person Yue Jianguo and Yan Hu would value so highly.

Thinking it over, Wang He began to carefully observe the woman with wheat-colored skin.

He wasn't sure if it was just his imagination, but he felt that this woman looked somewhat familiar, as if he had seen her somewhere before.

"Holy crap, it's the fighting king, Lü Shouchun! What's she doing here?" A sharp-eyed person in the crowd exclaimed.

Upon hearing this, Wang He realized why the other person looked somewhat familiar.

Lü Shouchun is the youngest fighting-type title king in the history of the Yanhuang Alliance. She is the pride of the Changqing Lü family and the only woman to win the national open-style fighting tournament. She is also the runner-up in the martial arts tournament and one of the strong contenders for the future regional king of Northeast China!

Elite-level trainers are roughly divided into regular Elite-level trainers, titled Elite-level trainers, and regional Elite-level trainers, based on their strength.

The so-called "Ordinary Elite Four" doesn't mean you just have an Elite Four-level Pokémon. You have to participate in a regional tournament—the Elite Four Certification Tournament—and successfully place in the top three to be officially awarded the Elite Four-level Trainer Medal by the Flame Emperor League.

Those who possess Elite Four-level Pokémon but fail to break into the top three can only be called near-Elite Four trainers.

The title-level Heavenly King, which is above the ordinary Heavenly King, needs to be obtained by participating in the national-level competition - the Heavenly King Tournament, also known as the White Dragon Cup.

Only those who have obtained the Elite Four level Trainer badge can participate in this competition.

Only those who win the championship in this competition will be personally awarded an honorary title and medal corresponding to their attribute by the president of the Trainers Association.

Become a titled trainer!

Only Elite Four trainers who have earned the title of Elite Four are qualified to compete for a spot among the regional Elite Four.
