I'm live-streaming Pokémon science popularization on New World.

After everyone listened to Lin Dao's report and analysis...

Qian Jiahao, from a financial institution, was the first to speak: "I completely agree!"

"I object!" A representative from the police department immediately shouted, his brows furrowed in the projection.

"We currently have fewer than two hundred members who have successfully established partnerships, which is far from sufficient in both quantity and quality. If we fully open up the market, the number of civilian trainers will surge, and we simply won't be able to handle the related cases! We should at least wait until our 'Pokémon-assisted law enforcement system' is initially established before making any moves!"

Qian Jiahao immediately retorted, "We can't throw the baby out with the bathwater! Public enthusiasm needs to be guided."

"Now that transportation has resumed nationwide, people are looking forward to new goals and opportunities. Trainer-related equipment, supplies, medical care, training, competitions, live streaming, tourism... this is a burgeoning market full of potential! Every day of delay is a loss. We can implement and improve management as we go!"

Zhao Lan, standing to the side, nodded in support, saying, "From all perspectives, it's advisable to start as soon as possible."

"Feedback from various regions shows that many young people with an adventurous spirit have begun to take initiative, and the lack of standardized guidance may actually increase the risks. Establishing a formal system, including training, assessment, and task management, is the best way to reduce these risks."

"Moreover, many domestic institutions, universities, and enterprises have a strong desire to apply to settle in Xinyuan City, and they all need this plan as a supporting measure."

A representative from the education system raised their hand: "The relevant basic teaching materials have been compiled, and the 'Pokémon Basic Knowledge Course' for teenagers will be piloted next month. We suggest that trainer certification should include basic ethics and knowledge learning components."

The debate is intense, but the core data and real needs are there for all to see.

After several hours of discussion, a final plan was reached: the Trainer Program will be launched in three phases.

The first stage is for adults aged 18 and above, who need to pass a theoretical exam and a basic aptitude assessment; the second stage extends to those aged 15 and above; and the third stage establishes a complete trainer training system.

After the meeting ended, Lin Dao walked out of the conference room and breathed a long sigh of relief.

Outside the door, Shen Yu'er was holding Pikachu, with her loyal Growlithe crouching beside her, waiting.

"How did it go?" Shen Yu'er greeted him, handing the Pikachu that was about to rub against him to Lin Dao.

Lin Dao took Pikachu and placed it on his shoulder, patted the head of the Growlithe that had come closer, smiled slightly, and gave a thumbs up: "All done. The 'Trainer' program will officially begin in a week."

"You're probably going to be extremely busy right now, coordinating the publicity efforts, preparing for the first batch of applicants to visit, and welcoming new organizations to move in. Relevant departments will assist you in reviewing the applications from companies and organizations applying to move in."

He paused, then emphasized, "Remember our core principle: prioritize partners who share our vision and are willing to try to create a future together with Pokémon."

Shen Yu'er nodded solemnly: "Understood. I will strictly control the selection criteria."

Lin Dao leaned against the railing in front of the huge floor-to-ceiling window, looking down at the vibrant new city below.

An informal battle is taking place on a training ground downstairs.

Li Hao was commanding his Zigzag Bear to fight against a stationed policewoman and her Snorlax.

The policewoman's name was Li Qingqing, and she was diligent and conscientious in her work.

Because of her simple love for Pokémon, she voluntarily applied to be transferred to Newland City.

During one patrol, she encountered a small Snorlax that had wandered into the city looking for food. Instead of chasing it away, she took it to a safe place and patiently communicated with it using her own lunch and kindness, eventually gaining its trust.

When Li Qingqing brought her Munchlax to Lin Dao for guidance, Lin Dao initially did not recommend that novice trainers start with such a "big-appetite" Pokémon with a long growth cycle.

But after seeing Li Qingqing's sincere attitude and information, he changed his mind and provided detailed breeding suggestions.

When Lin Dao was training Pikachu and the others, he had Li Qingqing take Munchlax with her for basic training.

This diligent girl trained hard and showed great love for Pokémon, quickly integrating into the small training community.

On the battlefield, Zigzagoon used its speed to constantly harass the enemy, while Snorlax played steadily, using its excellent defense and occasional sudden "finger strikes" to cause trouble, which drew cheers from some of the onlookers, the builders, and Pokémon.

Seeing this vibrant scene, Lin Dao was filled with anticipation for the upcoming era of trainers.

A week later, in the official press conference hall, media from all over the country gathered, their cameras focused on the event.

This was a press conference jointly held by multiple relevant departments.

At 3 p.m., a spokesperson took the stage and pointed to the large screen behind him.

The large screen first played a video: time-lapse photography of Newland City's construction, heartwarming scenes of Pokémon and humans working together, and clips of trainers and their partners growing together...

"We have always adhered to the principles of equality, respect, and symbiosis," the spokesperson announced. "After thorough preparation and evaluation, we are officially launching the 'Trainer Development and Training Program' today."

Flashing lights were going off frequently in the lobby.

The key points of the plan were announced one by one:

I. Citizens aged 18 and above may apply for the "Apprentice Trainer" qualification, and must pass a theoretical exam (covering Pokémon knowledge, ecological ethics, and safety regulations).

II. Qualified individuals may purchase Poké Balls from designated institutions (price: 500, limited to 5 per person).

Third, those who qualify can go to the official "Pokémon Ecological Reserve" to try to catch their first Pokémon;

IV. The establishment of Pokémon partner relationships must adhere to the principles of "voluntariness, mutual trust, and mutual benefit," and any form of coercion or exploitation is strictly prohibited;

V. Trainers who obtain Pokémon can take their Pokédex to a designated city for verification and renewal of their identity document (after verification, they can enjoy certain service conveniences, but must also assume corresponding social responsibilities).

VI. Multiple "Pokémon Centers" will be built across the country to provide medical, training, storage, and exchange services. Except for specific locations, Pokémon behavior guidelines must be followed in cities.

7. A "Pokémon Rookie Tournament" will be held in New Town in six months. Certified trainers can register to participate...

"This is an exploration of civilization, not a contest of strength," the spokesperson emphasized in conclusion. "We encourage everyone to respect every life, cherish every encounter, and work together to create a better future."
