Chapter 270 You won't know how awesome you are until you compare yourself to others.
The devil is great.
As soon as Wei Xin stepped into the research center, he heard thunderous applause. Almost everyone inside was filled with enthusiasm.
But it wasn't for him.
Everyone at the research center had their backs to him.
What's going on?
Wei Xin and Gardevoir exchanged a glance, then moved to the back of the crowd and craned their necks curiously. They saw that standing in the middle was an Empoleon, with its trainer, Ma Liang, beside it.
"Prince Bo has actually evolved?"
The training time for Pokémon varies. Although the starter Pokémon are not difficult to train, have a short development cycle, and have a high potential, making them versatile in many teams, they still require a lot of resources, time, and effort.
"That's right. It has evolved to the final stage in just two months, and without resorting to any methods that would have forced it to grow faster. It can now be used as an ace in battle, which is quite remarkable."
"really."
Wei Xin nodded affirmatively, took out a Poké Ball, and Gardevoir understood and went inside.
Today is a joyous day for Ma Liang, and as a fellow student, Wei Xin doesn't want to spoil his fun.
Let him be happy for a while longer.
Wei Xin hunched his shoulders, turned up his collar, walked around the crowd, and headed to the second floor, but Ma Liang spotted him immediately.
He's so eye-catching, it's hard not to notice him.
Just as he was about to speak, he felt a hand reach out from behind and pull him back. He turned around and saw his senior sister staring at him, her face showing the pain of getting up to use the bathroom in the middle of the night, her toes hitting the headboard, and her silence.
It's as if it's saying, "Young man, you're already in heaven, why go to hell?"
Shortly after, Wei Xin left the office, carrying more than thirty paper bags in his arms.
Inside are exam papers.
To qualify as a Pokémon Professor, Wei Xin needs to graduate early and make up for the credits he needs to complete in his school's curriculum.
To this end, the school contacted professors from various departments to provide him with more than 30 sets of exam papers, ranging from required to elective courses. He needed to complete and submit these papers before the midterm exam in order to quickly pass the final exam.
Even opening a back door requires following the necessary procedures.
However, Wei Xin did not need to complete the exam with other students in the examination room because he did not have enough time. The school allowed him to take the papers home to complete them.
They could even have open-book exams, as long as the score looks good.
After all, it's just a formality.
However, the use of question-searching software was not allowed, and other professors even highlighted the key points for Wei Xin, making the already easy task even easier.
As for the materials used to repair the Iron Warrior's body, Wei Xin handed them over to the School of Metallurgy and Materials Science, hoping to replicate the materials as soon as possible to help the Iron Warrior repair his body.
In addition to the written exam, Wei Xin, as a student in the combat department, also had to complete another exam.
"Wei Xin, are you going to take the combat exam?"
In the research center's lobby, Wei Xin encountered Ma Liang, who had been waiting for a long time. Emperor Naboo stood beside the trainer with his hands on his hips, head held high.
The practical exam for the competitive combat major is scheduled mid-term and lasts for one week. Students who fail the exam will be temporarily transferred out of the major and can only return by passing the make-up exam in the following semester.
"Okay." Wei Xin nodded. "Just go through the motions."
Although he has no shortage of resources for combat specialization, he still needs to pass the combat specialization exam before the school can submit his file to the league.
Participating in the Alliance Conference as a Magic University student is the simplest and quickest way.
"The battle exam is quite difficult. How's your Kirlia training going?" Ma Liang asked abruptly, barely suppressing his smugness.
The emperor Nabo beside him coughed, straightened his collar, and feigned profundity, his eyes carrying a hint of coldness and domineering.
Coupled with his towering height of 1.8 meters, his demeanor is completely different from that of the silly little penguin he once was.
The premise is that he can control his excitedly wagging tail.
"Sana~"
Before Wei Xin could reply, the Poké Ball at his waist activated, and Empoleon looked up blankly, gazing at Gardevoir, which was seven heads taller than him, and waved to it and Ma Liang in a friendly manner.
The moment its enormous size and exquisite appearance appeared, Emperor Naboo felt an irresistible aura of majesty. His mouth gaped open, and even his knees trembled slightly, almost uncontrollably.
Mom!
"It must be at least two meters tall, almost the size of a wild Totem Pokémon," Ma Liang exclaimed, craning his neck.
Typically, in a wild Pokémon genotype, there is one Pokémon that serves as the leader of the genotype and enjoys the best resources. As the strongest member of the genotype, it bears the responsibility of protecting the entire genotype. Its size, far exceeding that of its peers, is the most prominent symbol of this genotype, and it is also known as the "dominant Pokémon" by netizens.
Furthermore, according to the Pokémon Population Ecology Protection Act, forcibly capturing a Totem Pokémon is strictly prohibited by the League in order to prevent the departure of a Totem Pokémon from causing a negative impact on the lives of local populations.
"It took a little effort," Wei Xin said modestly.
"I understand, I understand," Ma Liang said, arms crossed, brows furrowed, eyes closed, nodding repeatedly. "It seems you, like me, have undergone rigorous training."
On the way to the examination venue, Ma Liang shared his and Emperor Nabo's spiritual practice experience, like a wild man who had wandered from the city into the mountains and lived for more than ten years, diligently and tirelessly.
Moreover, he had indeed just returned from the mountains. His uncle, Curator Ma, had placed them in a prepared Pokémon habitat to train them, giving them a tense and exciting wilderness survival experience.
No supplies, no teammates, only a "Wilderness Survival Guide that even a fool can understand".
There is no internet.
The young masters, accustomed to a life of luxury in the city, had never experienced anything like this before. On the first day, they even had trouble filling their stomachs. While searching for food, they even disturbed the Alola Ninetales colony that lived there. Prince, as a Water-type Pokémon, was no match for its opponent, and the two almost turned into ice sculptures.
As he spoke, Ma Liang, recalling those glorious years, actually wiped away tears.
Having confirmed that there was no assistance available, they were starving and freezing and had no choice but to work together to survive.
They are not warm enough to wear, not full enough to eat, and are forced to run around by wild Pokémon.
Finally, when the two were cornered by a dominant Alolan Ninetales, Prince Pidgeon successfully evolved into Empoleon and learned Steel-type moves. Shouting about friendship and bond, the two successfully defeated their opponent, thus completing their training.
"You've really worked hard," Wei Xin said, patting Ma Liang on the shoulder.
"It's all the same path I came from. What about you? What have you been doing all this time while you were on leave?"
"I didn't do much, just dug a mine shaft and took a trip to western Hunan."
"Hmm, it's alright. It's good to balance work and rest." Ma Liang was relieved to hear that Wei Xin had gone out for a stroll while he was cultivating in the mountains.
What I fear most is that my friend is not only more talented than me, but also works harder than me.
In this way, the gap between himself and Wei Xin can be narrowed considerably, and given time, he may even be able to surpass him: "It's really thanks to you for raising Gardevoir."
"Anyway, did you get any other Pokémon during the holidays?"
"No," Ma Liang shrugged. "I don't plan to raise Pokémon that can't fit into my team. Since Empoleon is already at an ace level, I plan to ask my uncle for a Tyranitar."
Trainer training is generally divided into three types. One is the wild style, which involves roaming in the wild and catching whatever Pokémon you encounter. The effect is that the Pokémon develop quickly, but it is difficult to find Pokémon with good potential and put together a complete team. It is easy to end up with a situation where the Pokémon are neither good enough nor bad enough, and resources cannot keep up.
Secondly, there's the "Ace" strategy. First, train one Pokémon to have the ability to suppress other Pokémon and acquire enough resources. Then, find powerful Pokémon to quickly build a team. With a powerful Pokémon, you don't have to worry about other Pokémon not obeying your commands.
Finally, there's the team-based strategy, which involves building a complete lineup first and then training it from a weak stage. However, it consumes a lot of resources and takes a long time to develop, so it's rarely used.
"Are you really going to add Bangalore to your team? Are you going to form a Sandstorm team? Are you also planning to participate in this year's Eastern Empire Tournament?"
"I'm currently thinking about forming a sandstorm team. My plan is to join the school team this year, assemble the team, and participate in various leagues. Once I have enough experience, I'll consider participating in the tournament. Making it to the main competition would be a success," Ma Liang joked with a smile. "You overestimate me. How could anyone debut and participate in the tournament after only two months?"
Ma Liang suddenly realized what was happening, looking at Wei Xin, Gardevoir, and the row of Poké Balls at his waist. The smile on his face gradually disappeared: "Why did you say 'also' just now?"
