Peaceful City First High School.
Psychology Clubroom Classroom in the Comprehensive Building.
After the arrival of a new week, Fang Yuan had already sneaked in here early with Eevee! In addition to that, Fang Yuan also brought three things.
Weight training equipment for Eevee's tail, sandbags needed for training Iron Tail, and a Soothing Bell tied to a Collar.
"You put this on first."
Fang Yuan put the Soothing Bell around Eevee's neck and said, "Next... except for bathing and sleeping, don't take it off. It concerns whether you can learn the Payback move."
"Eevee..."
Eevee reluctantly nodded.
Although the sound of the Soothing Bell was very pleasant, this Collar was really not very comfortable.
To be precise, Eevee was still a little unaccustomed to it.
Compared to the soft Silk Scarf, this Collar was too inferior, so instead of wearing it around its neck, Eevee preferred to keep it by its side and use it as a manual music player.
"This is a famous brand..."
Looking at Eevee's unwilling appearance, Fang Yuan said helplessly:
"I really can't do anything with you. Just bear with it for now, and I'll change it for you when I have time."
"Eevee!" Eevee shook its neck, indicating it was okay.
"Hmm..." Fang Yuan looked carefully at the bell.
If he could tie the Soothing Bell to the Silk Scarf, would it be better? Fang Yuan had a series of bold ideas that would get him a beating from his mother.
...
After leaving Eevee in the Clubroom Classroom, Fang Yuan hurried back to his class.
Whether the training tasks he left for Eevee could be completed depended on Eevee's self-awareness... no, it depended on Eevee's love for watching dramas.
"Hey, Fang Yuan, I have news for you."
After the early morning self-study session, Lin Jing suddenly approached.
"What news?" Fang Yuan asked.
So mysterious...
"I heard last night that the Provincial Trainer Association headquarters is going to have a big move."
"Big move?"
"I don't know the specifics..."
Then what are you talking about! "Fang Yuan, Lin Jing, come out for a moment." Before Fang Yuan could complain, the homeroom Teacher suddenly walked in and called them both out.
Fang Yuan and Lin Jing looked at each other before walking out together.
Outside, in addition to the homeroom Teacher, Teacher Bai Ning, who taught training classes, was also there.
"Wait a moment, you two go with Teacher Bai Ning. You can skip the first math class." Teacher Zhang said.
"Okay." Fang Yuan replied, utterly confused.
In comparison, Lin Jing seemed to have guessed something and was particularly excited.
Teacher Bai Ning smiled and began to lead Fang Yuan and Lin Jing downstairs, saying, "Next, we're going to the Main Conference Room for a meeting. Just sit next to me."
Going to the Main Conference Room for a meeting...
Fang Yuan was taken aback. What could be the matter that required bringing two students along?
After walking for a while, the three of them ran into another teacher who taught Senior Year training classes. He was also with a student, a familiar face to Fang Yuan and the others, Liu Le.
Besides them, all the Senior Year training class teachers were present! Fang Yuan realized something... Could it be related to the New Star Plan? After entering the Main Conference Room, Fang Yuan and Lin Jing sat next to Bai Ning as instructed. In less than ten minutes, several important school leaders arrived, a grander gathering than even the opening ceremony.
Soon, with a dry cough from the vice-principal, the Main Conference Room quieted down.
"Good morning, everyone. I apologize for calling you all here so suddenly."
"This is an emergency meeting because the Provincial Trainer Association headquarters issued a notice this morning! This notice concerns the future development of our school, so we must give it our utmost attention."
"In the 21st century, to ensure the quality of schools as educational institutions and the healthy development of aspiring Trainers, our country has reformed some high schools, redefining the concept of key high schools. These high schools have now become cradles for Trainers, the starting point for Rookie Trainers!"
"Since the promulgation of this policy, Peaceful City First High School has been committed to cultivating Excellent Trainers with all-round and balanced development, adding much fresh blood to our country's Trainer field. This has been the case in the past, and it will continue to be so in the future."
"Now, in addition to the College Entrance Examination, we have another major test of our teaching ability!"
"The specific content of the notice will be explained by Director Wang."
...
"Hello everyone, I am Wang Fuyi. At seven o'clock this morning, the Provincial Trainer Association, in conjunction with several departments, issued an important notice to twenty key high schools in the province. Next, I will explain the specific content of this notice."
"In order to respond to the country's call to 'cultivate Excellent Trainers and emphasize basic quality education for newcomers,' our province has decided to hold a Provincial High School Pokémon Battle League throughout the province to select Excellent high schools and Excellent Rookie Trainers. The format will be divided into individual battles and Team Battles..."
Director Wang spoke for three minutes, and Fang Yuan finally understood.
Pokémon Battle Leagues between schools are generally held among universities, with high schools rarely involved.
This is mainly because Trainers in high school are Rookie Trainers, with too little time to train Pokémon. Besides, there is also the pressure of the College Entrance Examination, making it impossible to have as much time for training as university students, being burdened by academic subjects.
However, for some reason, the Provincial Trainer Association, in conjunction with several departments, issued such a notice!
This was unprecedented.
Moreover, the competition rules even included Team Battles...
The Bonus for the Team Battle was as high as ten million.
Fang Yuan's eyes turned red. Ten million was much higher than the Little Phoenix King Cup's Bonus. Also, no wonder Peaceful City wanted to implement the New Star Plan, no wonder Zhuang Xin hinted at team awareness. Had the branch association received the news long ago?
"Therefore, our school has decided to form a Trainer School Team of seven members to actively prepare for this Provincial High School Pokémon Battle League."
"As for the School Team members, each class will make its own recommendations, and then unified training and selection will be carried out, implementing a last-place elimination system."
The meeting lasted for an hour. After it ended, Teacher Bai Ning led Fang Yuan and Lin Jing away.
"Now you should be clear about the situation. The candidates from our class are you two. Including Liu Le from Class 2, the three of you are the only confirmed official members of the School Team."
"Teacher Bai, why is our province suddenly holding such a competition?" Lin Jing asked. Even Modu and Didu had never made such a big deal out of the high school stage. A competition with tens of millions in Bonus, counting other aspects of the budget, was a large-scale operation with hundreds of millions of funds invested.
Bai Ning shook her head, without explaining.
In fact, not only high schools in the province received the notice, but also universities in the province received similar notices.
She had not experienced this when she was in school. Now, the Provincial Trainer Association gave her a feeling of extreme nervousness, as if it was in urgent need of cultivating a large number of Trainers.
