These Pokémon were specially bred for newcomers, with very gentle personalities, making them particularly easy to befriend and capture.
After Jiang Chen chose Squirtle, he took out food specially prepared for Pokémon. With just a few words, he successfully got Squirtle to follow him.
After Squirtle evolves into Blastoise, its dual defenses are quite excellent. In battles involving multiple Pokémon, it can serve as a tank.
Although its body is heavy and its movement speed isn't fast, it can act as a turret for long-range attacks.
"Jiang Chen, you chose Squirtle, huh? I was originally thinking of battling you, but I guess I'll forget about it then."
Zhao Qian, perhaps heeding Jiang Chen's advice, ultimately chose Torchic.
Water-type was super effective against Fire-type, making the battle almost a guaranteed loss. He didn't want to get thrashed.
After everyone had chosen their Pokémon, they left. Then, the teacher took the other students in the class to another breeding room to choose Pokémon.
Once everyone in the class had finished choosing their Pokémon, their homeroom teacher, Old Zhang, gave some instructions.
"These few days, I hope you all train your newly acquired partners well. In a week, the school will hold a campus ranking competition. If students from our elite class lose to the ordinary class, you will lose face, and I will lose face too."
"Additionally, the top five in the campus ranking competition will be eligible to participate in a friendly exchange competition with the Imperial Capital Pokémon Academy. This is an opportunity to bring glory to the school, and the rewards are very generous."
"Also, I know you are all very excited after obtaining your Pokémon. It's fine if you want to have practice battles among yourselves, but don't hurt anyone."
Humans were very fragile in front of Pokémon. Even if a newly obtained Pokémon wasn't very strong, it could still severely injure a person, and in serious cases, even kill them.
"Alright, formulate your training plans according to the knowledge you've learned."
Homeroom teacher Old Zhang didn't stay in the class much longer, letting them train their Pokémon freely.
When Jiang Chen got Squirtle, he also had his own training plan. First and foremost was stamina.
For any Pokémon, the most important thing was stamina training, followed by move training and practical battle training.
Battling was the fastest way for Pokémon to grow.
"Jiang Chen, I challenge you."
"Are you sure?"
Jiang Chen, who was sitting in his seat supplementing his training plan, looked up.
The classmate challenging Jiang Chen was named Xu Jie. He had good grades in the class, always ranking third, and came from a relatively ordinary background. However, because of his good grades, the school had given him the opportunity to choose a starter Pokémon.
Jiang Chen remembered that the Pokémon he chose was Charmander. Challenging him when there was a type disadvantage?
Could it be that you also want to be a master of reverse-type battles?
Unfortunately, not everyone was Ash Ketchum. It wasn't that reverse-type battles were impossible to win, but the opponent had just gotten their Pokémon and wasn't very familiar with it yet. There was hardly any coordination. How could he win?
"I'm sure. I want to defeat you and show you that just because you have a good background doesn't mean you can go further on the path of a trainer."
Confirmed. This guy before me hasn't been beaten down by reality yet.
"Tsk tsk, full of sour grapes."
Zhao Qian glanced at Xu Jie with disdain.
"Don't forget, Jiang Chen is number one in terms of grades."
He didn't look down on people from ordinary backgrounds; he simply looked down on "lemon spirits" (jealous people). Xu Jie was challenging Jiang Chen more out of jealousy, wanting to defeat Jiang Chen to prove himself.
"Xu Jie challenging Jiang Chen? Isn't he just asking for a beating?"
"For a long time now, Xu Jie seems to have been dissatisfied with Jiang Chen."
"I know what's going on. It all started with our school beauty, Ling Wanqiu."
Xu Jie had a secret crush on Ling Wanqiu, while Ling Wanqiu seemed more interested in Jiang Chen. This was one of the reasons for Xu Jie's hostility towards Jiang Chen.
Hearing the discussions around him, Xu Jie's face looked very ugly.
"You wouldn't dare, would you?" Xu Jie used a taunt on Jiang Chen.
"Alright, you want to challenge me, right? Then come on."
If someone was looking for a beating, then grant their wish. Most importantly, battling could also earn points. Jiang Chen wanted to know how many points he could get from one battle.
"By the way, my sign-in for today."
Thinking of points, Jiang Chen remembered today's sign-in.
[Ding, congratulations to the host for successful sign-in. Obtained: Pokéblocks ×10, Points +100!]
"System, are the things obtained from sign-in that bad?"
Last time, there was the 100-fold bonus for the first sign-in, so Jiang Chen didn't feel it. This time, he felt the rewards from signing in were really poor.
Pokéblocks were relatively expensive for ordinary people, but they weren't really anything good for Jiang Chen; his family was in that business.
[Everything depends on the host's luck. As the host signs in more times, the probability of obtaining good things will also increase.]
Arriving at the school's dedicated battleground, there were many spectators; almost everyone in the class had come to watch.
"Come out, Squirtle."
Squirtle came out of its Poké Ball and stood in front of Jiang Chen.
"Squirtle?"
Turning its head, Squirtle looked doubtfully at its trainer. This appearance couldn't look any goofier.
Its round head, round shell, chubby little hands, and round eyes that clearly looked "very intelligent" (sarcasm), all contributed to Squirtle's somewhat naive appearance.
It only looked a bit dull as a Squirtle. After evolving into Wartortle, its expression and eyes would become much fiercer.
After evolving into Blastoise, it even looked somewhat domineering, clearly not to be trifled with.
However, in terms of cuteness, it looked best now when it was a bit dull and a bit silly.
Looking at Squirtle, Jiang Chen smiled and patted its... head.
"Let's have a battle to test your strength. If you perform well and win, these will be yours."
Jiang Chen took out several Pokéblocks. When Squirtle saw the Pokéblocks, its eyes sparkled. It then clenched its claws and made a cheering gesture.
"So cute! I should have chosen Squirtle."
The girls around, looking at Squirtle, felt their hearts were about to melt.
"Hmph."
Xu Jie snorted coldly.
"Charmander, teach that water-spraying turtle a lesson for me."
"Aim at Charmander, use Water Gun."
Jiang Chen directly gave the order.
Squirtle aimed at Charmander, and a stream of water shot out from its mouth towards Charmander.
"Charmander, dodge quickly, then counterattack with Ember!" Xu Jie quickly shouted.
Facing the attack, Charmander was a bit flustered, especially when it heard Xu Jie instruct it to use Ember. Its brain almost turned to mush.
It didn't know Ember yet.
These Pokémon had only hatched not long ago and hadn't mastered many moves. His Charmander currently only knew Scratch and Growl.
The Water Gun hit, and Charmander's face showed pain.
After using Water Gun, Squirtle was already rushing towards Charmander. While Charmander was in pain from being hit by Water Gun, Jiang Chen had Squirtle use Tackle.
Thump!
Charmander lost its ability to battle and fell to the ground. Two moves directly finished off the opponent.
Xu Jie had a dull expression. It wasn't that he hadn't lost to Jiang Chen before; the school also conducted practical battles using the school's Pokémon.
But losing while using the school's Pokémon felt different from losing while using his own Pokémon.
Especially losing in front of so many people, including the person he had a crush on. This time, he had completely lost face.
