Elf: I have a secret realm of emerald green.

"Ahem..." Suddenly, a soft cough broke the silence. The big shots looked up and saw that it was Xia Shen again.

"Please take your time to consider this matter. This is not something that can be resolved in a short time. I will leave Nandu tonight, and I will entrust Uncle Yan with the rest of the arrangements."

Everyone was surprised. How could you, the key figure, only take the lead in something so important?

Is there anything more important than this?

As if hearing their thoughts, Xia Shen shrugged helplessly.

"I'm starting school tomorrow."

Author's Remarks

After some consideration, I decided against including the ichthyosaur. Firstly, the next focus will definitely be on Zoroark, and secondly, many people still have prejudices against its appearance...

## Chapter 133 Teaching Moon Bear Dragon Claw?

On the afternoon the meeting ended, Xia Shen returned to Zhijiang.

Tomorrow is the first day of school, which means that Xia Shen's first winter vacation in this world has come to an extraordinary end.

Xia Shen, the discoverer of the Moon Bear, the pioneer of the Crown Snowfield, the guardian of the Mysterious Tree, and the founder of the Emerald Elf Ecological Conservation Area, will finally return to his original job—

An ordinary second-year high school student at Zhijiang Middle School, and a diligent pioneer of Xicui Secret Realm.

……

On her first day back at school, Xia Shen was even a little dazed.

Compared to Gallade and Cinderace in the Breakthrough Tournament, Moltres and Regidrago in the Crown Tundra are different.

The elves at school... are so adorable.

The kind of cuteness where Moon Bear can take you down with a single punch.

At this moment, the first-term diagnostic test for the second-year high school students is being held on the playground.

Xia Shen glanced at Teacher Ye and Blazing Roaring Tiger, who were supervising the exam, as he watched another ordinary classmate being overwhelmed by Moon Bear's sheer willpower.

Come to think of it, I don't recall ever seeing Brother Fu go all out...

Wait, how could I have such a dangerous thought!

Xia Shen was startled by his own audacious idea.

Teacher Ye seemed to notice Xia Shen's gaze, and turned to look at him with a half-smile.

Xia Shen quickly retracted this arrogant thought, realizing that he had really gotten carried away. Brother Afu was Teacher Ye's main force, a professional fourth-dan Elf.

At this stage... let's just forget about it. It's good to just bully some newbies.

……

Without a doubt, this initial diagnostic test was entirely Xia Shen's personal showcase.

Neither Ursaring nor Garchomp are beings that these rookie trainers, who have only been in the industry for half a year, can contend with.

Only Jiang Chuan, Zhou Yuanyuan, and Yan Yan could manage to fight him back and forth for a while.

It's worth mentioning that the second place in Xia Shen's class's preliminary exam was not Jiang Chuan's Hakron, but Yan Yan's Garchomp.

This result not only left Jiang Chuan with mixed feelings, but even Teacher Ye found it hard to believe.

But Xia Shen and Yan Yan themselves knew that the outcome of this battle was not accidental.

Practical training in the secret realm, baptism by the holy spring water under the divine tree.

And most importantly, the Divine Tree Fruit and Dragon Jade Crystals have been carefully cultivated since we left the secret realm.

This allowed Garchomp to make significant progress in its strength during the winter break.

……

After the exam, Teacher Ye announced some important news.

"Next week, everyone can register for the amateur trainer assessment exam. If you want to participate, you can register with me. The school will make the arrangements."

Unsurprisingly, everyone in the class signed up for the amateur assessment.

After all, becoming an amateur trainer not only allows you to enjoy many social welfare benefits and preferential treatment in public facilities, but it is also a necessary prerequisite for becoming a professional trainer.

Xia Shen was also looking forward to the assessment. He heard that Yan Yu had passed all eight levels of the amateur assessment on her first attempt and had become an amateur eighth-dan trainer.

I should at least try to be like her, right?

Before entering the secret realm, Moon Bear was able to defeat the amateur 7th dan Thunder King Kong head-on, and defeat the amateur 9th dan Flame Ace in the Trick Space.

Upon entering the secret realm, the Holy Spring baptism enhances defense, and the Divine Tree Fruit cultivates all attributes.

It's fair to say that even if Moonbear were to fight Flame Ace again without opening a spatial dimension, Xia Shen feels he still has a chance.

Besides Ursaring, Garchomp also received the same level of training, with Xia Shen even going so far as to sprinkle some Dragon Jade Crystal Powder, which can enhance the power of Dragon-type moves, into his daily drinking water.

Although the more you use this thing, the less noticeable the improvement becomes, even a small improvement is still something.

Moreover, Xia Shen only has two Dragon-type Pokémon, himself and Sticky Treasure.

Including the portion given to Yan Yan, that fist-sized dragon jade crystal is enough for these Pokémon to use up to the Elite Four level.

Unfortunately, the remaining Pokémon can't even learn Dragon-type moves...

Wait a minute!

A crazy idea suddenly popped into Xia Shen's mind.

If we feed Luna and Zoroah Dragon Crystal Powder, will it give them the chance to learn Dragon-type moves?

……

Xia Shen's wildly imaginative ideas were not entirely baseless.

The spirits of this world exist within a self-consistent set of logical laws.

For example, Water-type Pokémon can easily learn Ice-type moves, while Ground-type Pokémon can easily learn Rock-type moves.

This is all because of the concept of attribute affinity.

Dragon-type moves are not exclusive to Dragon-type Pokémon.

Many non-Dragon-type Pokémon, and even those that don't look like dragons at all, can learn Dragon-type moves.

For example, the move Dragon Claw can be learned by Pokémon like Feraligatr, Bandicoot, and Pandaren, which have no resemblance to dragons.

The reason for this is that they contain some dragon-type energy within them.

As long as they can utilize these Dragon-type energies, Pokémon can learn and master the corresponding Dragon-type moves.

Its entire body is composed of dragon-type energy crystals, the core crystal of Regidrago, which is said to possess all the abilities of dragon-type Pokémon.

Is it possible to give the Moonbear and its companions Dragon-type powers and teach them Dragon-type moves?

Xia Shen felt that it was worth a try.

So, for dinner tonight, Xia Shen added a little something extra to Moon Bear's Moo Moo Fresh Milk.

He planned to continue giving Sister Xiong extra food for the next month as an experiment. If it didn't work, he would just let the Dragon Jade Crystal go to waste.

…………

Perhaps the consumption time was too short, or perhaps this method is simply a pipe dream.

In short, three days have passed, and Moon Bear hasn't reacted at all.

However, Xia Shen was not discouraged; a sudden, whimsical experiment could not affect his mindset.

However, there has been a breakthrough in the ecological conservation area.

The Jiangnan Provincial Trainers Association and Dewen Company have entered the fray.

The former provided land and policy support, the latter provided funding and technical support, and together with Yan Jing's Dragon Dance Training Center and Xia Shen, the four parties jointly established the Xicui Elf Ecological Research Company.

Xia Shen holds a majority stake in the company due to his unique core technological advantages.

Although the others didn't understand why Xia Shen would choose such a strange name, they didn't object.

For monopolistic businesses like this, there's no need for a company name to build brand awareness, so nobody cares about names.

What they care more about is how to take the most basic and crucial step in the ecological conservation area: simulating the breeding and growth environment of the moon bear.

Without a doubt, only Xia Shen can answer this question.

So for the next few days, Xia Shen was busy collecting soil and water samples in the secret realm, testing all sorts of data, and handing them over to the German company responsible for technical support.

In order to simulate the ecological environment that is closest to the survival of the "Ancient East Sea Subspecies of Elf".

After several busy days, this matter has come to an end.

Meanwhile, unbeknownst to many, the amateur trainer exam is about to begin.

Chapter 134 I Want to Fight a Ninth Dan!

In early March, the air was still chilly.

However, the cold temperature could not dampen the lively atmosphere at the Zhijiang Elf Battle Arena.

Today marks the start of the annual amateur trainer assessment.

The Amateur Trainer Assessment has always been a grand feast of Pokémon battles for all.

There's no other reason than that the amateur first-level skill is a very subtle threshold.

Most high school sophomores who receive Pokémon battle training can reach the amateur rank 1 after more than half a year of learning and training.

For ordinary office workers who don't aspire to become professional trainers, it seems that with some extra training, they can pass this seemingly low-level test.

If you accidentally overdo it, wouldn't you have something to brag about when you're chatting with your friends?

Therefore, it was the same as the previous Zhijiang Cup rookie group competition.

Not only students from the Pokémon Battle Department, but also a considerable number of working professionals brought their Caterpie and Magikarp to sign up for this seemingly easy amateur assessment.
