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

In the woods.

A large, muscular black and white panda is holding an oversized tablet computer and looking at something.

"That's called outsmarting him, baby~~"

A magnetic voice, full of affection and gentleness, rang out from the tablet.

Mu Yun glanced over and saw a long-tailed fire fox of unknown gender talking to a fire rabbit.

The art style is quite beautiful.

"drink!"

Upon seeing Mu Yun arrive, Martial Arts Master Xiong first closed the tablet and placed it aside, then slowly stood up.

"Could you please help me test Xiao Du's new ability?"

Mu Yun repeated what he had just said in the cabin.

"drink!"

Master Xiong nodded, indicating that he understood.

"Buzz~~~"

An invisible ripple spread once again.

"drink?"

Almost instantly, Martial Arts Master Xiong sensed something was amiss.

However, he did not react immediately. Instead, after the fluctuations affected him, he carefully sensed them for a while before starting to mobilize the energy within his body.

Energy efficiency decreased by half a percent, and energy conversion rate decreased by ten percent...

Martial Arts Master Xiong mobilized his energy while making detailed observations.

The next second, golden lightning flashed and danced on its surface like thunder serpents.

The speed of the attack is slightly slower, but the power is not affected much.

Soon, Martial Arts Master Xiong recounted the details he had observed.

"The effect is very low..."

Mu Yun murmured something.

Compared to its effect on Patrick Star, Xiao Du's Breaking Ten Thousand Technique had almost no impact on Martial Arts Bear Master.

Is it because he is a divine beast, or because he is of a higher level?

Or perhaps both are present, but in different proportions?

Mu Yun personally believes that the former reason is more likely to be the cause.

But to find out the specifics, we'll need to try it with other champion-level Pokémon.

There's no rush for that.

Perhaps, the effects will become more apparent after the Breaking Ten Thousand Law is strengthened a second time.

After the experiment was completed, Mu Yun did not disturb Martial Arts Master Xiong's movie viewing any longer, and left with Patrick Star and Xiao Du.

"By the way, Patrick, there's an exchange program at the New Capital Research Institute for the Breeders program in a few days. We're going too. Get ready."

After the military training ended, Qu Ning sent over the time she would be going to the Xindu Research Institute.

From the end of September to the beginning of October, a ten-day event will be held, involving two advanced research institutes and a top research institute in Xindu.

"Okay, boss!"

Patrick's red gem on his chest flashed a few times.

He also looks forward to exchanging ideas with top researchers.

..............................

In the following days, Mu Yun's life returned to peace and routine.

The training camp was scheduled for the day after the military training ended, which was also the first day after the school team selection was completed.

In addition to the six official members, including Mu Yun, there are two senior substitutes, as well as several freshmen and sophomores, including Qu Qi and Ling Ruijie.

The training camp will still be held in Arena 1, but there will be a few more instructors to help with training and diet planning.

Of course, Mu Yun is not included.

On that very day, Mu Yun, under the pretext of learning from experience, "consulted" all the teachers, including those from the Nurturing Family Academy.

The harvest was plentiful.

All I can say is that those who can serve as instructors are quite skilled.

Even professional trainers who specialize in breeding have Gym Leader level Pokémon.

Unfortunately, perhaps because they were battling students, the highest-level Pokémon they used was only Gym Leader level.

This did disappoint Mu Yun a little.

After demonstrating his abilities to the teachers, Mu Yun was granted exemption from training and successfully became a member of the teaching team, gaining the right to train the other students.

Simply put, it means beating them up.

However, Mu Yun didn't use Xiao Du all the time; instead, he had Bingbing, Xiaoxin, Xiaotie, and Dadan take turns.

Occasionally, when it's almost time, Mu Yun will also take the opportunity to raid the Black Snake Gang.

He wondered if it was because he had been leveling up frequently lately, but he noticed that the average level of the elves in the Black Snake Gang had increased by one level.

There are two more overlord-level Pokémon.

The old saying is true: pressure is indeed the best motivation.

And so, time passed little by little.

In the blink of an eye, the day arrived when Mu Yun was preparing to depart for the new capital.

..............................

"Mavila, create some distance and use Freezing Wind!"

Battle Arena 1, on one of the battle arenas.

Ling Ruijie was giving serious instructions to his Pokémon.

Opposite their own Pokémon stood a colossal creature nearly three meters tall, its entire body gleaming with a cold, metallic sheen.

Boss Dora!

..............................

That's right, this Aggron is none other than Tiny, which has only evolved two weeks ago.

Although it had only just evolved, thanks to the selfless dedication of the enthusiastic and kind Black Serpent Gang members, its level quickly reached the peak of the Elite level, and it was only one step away from the Overlord level.

"Why is Jerry challenging Team Cloud again, and against that ironclad Bosscodora no less? He's got real tenacity!"

"That's called perseverance; otherwise, how could he be second in the grade!"

"This is second place? Then the first place must be an absolutely invincible, unparalleled genius, the greatest in history!!"

"Hey, hey, hey, Team Yun's in the middle of a match, he can't hear your flattery, so shut up!"

"What are you saying? What are you talking about? These are my heartfelt words, every single one of them is true!"

"........."

The discussions in the audience reached Mu Yun's ears.

His face remained expressionless, but inwardly he smiled helplessly.

Perhaps because of the precedent of Ling Qingying becoming captain in her sophomore year, no one had any particular feelings about him becoming captain in his freshman year.

I only show you basic respect because you are strong.

But recently, on a whim, he personally cooked a reward meal for himself at Arena 1.

Everyone's enthusiasm soared instantly.

It can only be said that satisfying one's appetite is still too important.
