"Sister Ning Ya, can you treat Beedrill's injuries?"
Back at the villa, Jiang Chen released his Beedrill.
"I can't treat it, but Aunt Song should be able to."
Ning Ya took a look. Beedrill's injuries were quite serious. At most, she could help treat minor injuries.
"Then I'll trouble Aunt Song."
Aunt Song, whose full name was Song Jie, was a Pokémon doctor specifically hired by the family. Because of the Pokémon in the back mountains, they might have a battle at any time. So, the family had to have a Pokémon doctor. Ning Ya had learned to treat Pokémon from Aunt Song.
"Young Master, no need to be polite."
Song Jie looked at Beedrill. Just by looking at the injuries on Beedrill's body, she knew that Beedrill was definitely not weak.
"Beedrill, she's here to treat your injuries. Do not attack," Jiang Chen warned Beedrill.
Beedrill nodded. It did listen to Jiang Chen.
"How did this Beedrill get so injured?" Ning Ya couldn't help but ask.
"It had a fight with Alakazam and was injured by Alakazam."
"Injured by Alakazam?"
Ning Ya couldn't help but raise her voice. She was clearly aware of Alakazam's strength: Champion-level. Could this Beedrill fight Alakazam?
"Beedrill also has Champion-level strength," Jiang Chen told Ning Ya.
To be honest, Ning Ya was a bit shocked. A Champion-level Beedrill was much rarer than Champion-level Dragonite or Garchomp.
Beedrill's injuries were serious, but Champion-level Pokémon also had fast recovery abilities. So, by the afternoon, Beedrill's injuries had recovered about seventy to eighty percent. It was estimated that it would be fully revived by tomorrow.
He first put Beedrill back into the Master Ball, letting it recuperate inside.
Then Jiang Chen took out the rewarded Dragon Plate. The Dragon Plate, just by its appearance, was actually similar to the Pokémon Plate. And it could also grow and shrink.
Sensing the power emanating from the Dragon Plate, Dragonite and Garchomp came closer.
"Your strength can also be rapidly improved from now on."
Jiang Chen patted Dragonite's big belly.
If possible, Jiang Chen really wanted to collect all the plates. Unfortunately, it was almost impossible to buy them, they were too expensive. If he really had enough points to buy plates, Jiang Chen would definitely use them to buy Legendary Pokémon.
In the courtyard, other Pokémon were training. Jiang Chen began to plan his Pokémon training.
Currently, Dragonite, Metagross, Gardevoir, Garchomp, and Wobbuffet were fine. With the Dragon Plate and Pokémon Plate, they could even "lie down and win." Of course, he would still make them train as they should.
Feebas temporarily didn't need to train, and there wasn wasn't much for it to train anyway. Wartortle and Riolu could continue their previous training.
This time, Jiang Chen mainly formulated training plans for Eevee and Bulbasaur.
"This Eevee will evolve into an Espeon."
This Eevee was a reward from the school. Its innate potential was not very outstanding, only Elite-level potential, same as Bulbasaur. There were currently no fruits that could boost innate potential, so the best choice was to let this Eevee eventually evolve into Espeon.
Espeon was Psychic-type. With the Pokémon Plate, Espeon's innate potential could be raised. So, even if Espeon's innate potential was only Elite-level, it could eventually be raised to Champion-level. It might even be raised higher, perhaps to the level of a Legendary Pokémon (third-tier Legendary, implying a pseudo-legendary or a weaker legendary Pokemon). Anyway, Jiang Chen didn't believe that the plates, as the source of Arceus's power, couldn't achieve this.
As for Bulbasaur, there was nothing he could do. Jiang Chen didn't have Grass-type or Poison-type plates, so if Bulbasaur wanted to raise its innate potential, Jiang Chen would only be able to do so if he obtained a fruit that boosted innate potential.
"Eevee and Bulbasaur should also start with physical training for now."
Physical training, learning moves, that's enough for now. With more Pokémon under him, Jiang Chen also had to get busy.
In a blink of an eye, a week-long holiday passed. He didn't know if the friendly fruit obtained from the weekly sign-in gift package had used up Jiang Chen's luck, but he hadn't received any good items from sign-ins during this period.
The holiday was over today, and it was time to go to school.
Upon arriving at the school gate, Jiang Chen bumped into Ling Wanqiu, who was holding an Eevee.
"You used to hold Mini Dragon. Now it's out of favor," Jiang Chen teased.
"Mini Dragon has already evolved into Dragonair. How can I still hold it?"
Ling Wanqiu gave Jiang Chen a roll of her eyes, then stroked Eevee's small head.
"By the way, what are you planning to evolve your Eevee into?" Ling Wanqiu asked Jiang Chen.
Although she liked Dragon-type Pokémon the most, she also loved cute Pokémon like Eevee. Since it was her own Pokémon, she had to raise it well. However, Ling Wanqiu was a bit conflicted about Eevee's evolution direction. Eevee could evolve into Flareon, Jolteon, and Vaporeon. With three choices, she really didn't know which one to pick.
"My Eevee is going to evolve into the Psychic-type Espeon."
"Espeon?"
Ling Wanqiu had a "you're kidding me" expression.
"You know Eevee's genetic instability, right?"
Ling Wanqiu nodded. It was precisely because of Eevee's unstable genes that Eevee could evolve into Flareon, Vaporeon, and Jolteon.
"Didn't a professor say before that Eevee has more than three evolutions?"
Although this world hadn't announced Eevee's other evolutions, there were professors who believed that Eevee had more than these three evolutions.
"Did you discover Eevee's other evolutions?" Ling Wanqiu's eyes sparkled.
"I found a few, just barely."
Ling Wanqiu's expression was strange: "Just barely found a few?" Your words are too pretentious.
"When Eevee's friendship reaches a certain value, it will evolve into the Psychic-type Espeon during the day, and the Dark-type Umbreon at night."
"Near a rock covered in moss or a rock covered in ice, it can evolve into the Grass-type Leafeon and the Ice-type Glaceon."
In Sword and Shield, it could evolve with a Leaf Stone and Ice Stone, but Jiang Chen had someone try it, and it didn't work for now. Moreover, Jiang Chen was currently the only one who had an Ice Stone; he obtained it through sign-in. This world had not yet discovered Ice Stones.
"Finally, there's the Fairy-type Sylveon. It requires enough affection and learning a Fairy-type move to evolve into Sylveon."
"According to you, Eevee has eight evolutions then."
Ling Wanqiu calculated. The original three, plus the five evolutions Jiang Chen mentioned, made a total of eight evolutions.
"Maybe other evolutions will be discovered in the future, like Rock-type or Steel-type. After all, Eevee's genes are unstable. Anyway, these are the eight I know," Jiang Chen said, shrugging at Ling Wanqiu.
"Thank you for telling me so much."
Knowing so much meant more choices. After all, whether it was Flareon, Vaporeon, or Jolteon, she didn't particularly like them.
"How are you going to thank me? Verbal thanks are too insincere. I'm really looking forward to the thanks of the campus beauty."
Jiang Chen leaned closer to Ling Wanqiu and asked.
"Gardevoir~!"
Suddenly, Gardevoir pulled Jiang Chen back from behind, directly pulling him away from Ling Wanqiu.
Gardevoir's eyes vigilantly watched Ling Wanqiu, showing displeasure. She absolutely couldn't let her master be snatched away. When Jiang Chen got close to Ling Wanqiu just now, Ling Wanqiu's heart rate was very fast. He didn't expect to be interrupted by Gardevoir in the end.
"What are you two doing standing at the school gate?"
Wang Xin also walked over, holding an Eevee. There was no helping it; Eevee was simply too cute. Not to mention girls, even many boys were captivated by Eevee's cuteness.
Just as Jiang Chen was about to speak, Gardevoir took Jiang Chen and used Teleport to leave.
"I just saw Jiang Chen and you getting very close. What were you talking about?"
"Nothing much." Ling Wanqiu frowned tightly. Gardevoir was very attached to Jiang Chen. Could it be that a mere Pokémon actually wanted to be her love rival?
"By the way, what are you planning to evolve your Eevee into? Actually, I think Eevee is cutest when it doesn't evolve."
Wang Xin stroked Eevee's head. However, if Eevee didn't evolve, it would be a bit of a waste of Eevee's talent. The Eevees the school gave them had decent talent. They all had quasi-Elite level potential, and after evolving, Eevee's combat power was not weak. If they were simply raised as pets, it would be too wasteful.
"I haven't decided yet."
Although her relationship with Wang Xin was good, Ling Wanqiu didn't casually tell others about Eevee's other evolutions. Actually, it didn't matter whether she told or not. Eevee's other evolutions were about to be revealed to the public.
Jiang Chen, led by Gardevoir, instantly arrived in the classroom. Jiang Chen gave Gardevoir a helpless glance.
"Gardevoir is so beautiful, especially your Shiny Gardevoir."
Zhao Qian looked enviously at Jiang Chen's Gardevoir. He didn't ask for a Shiny Gardevoir; even a regular Gardevoir would do. Unfortunately, Gardevoir wasn't that easy to obtain. Wild Gardevoir populations were rare, and even if encountered, they were hard to catch, disappearing without a trace with a single Teleport. Moreover, Ralts was very shy and would hide from humans, leading to few trainers owning a Gardevoir.
"Were you just discussing the New Trainer Tournament?"
When Jiang Chen first arrived in the classroom, he distinctly heard them discussing the New Trainer Tournament with great enthusiasm.
"Jiang Chen, registration for the New Trainer Tournament has begun. It will start in less than a month, and the rewards are very generous."
"Yes, the champion's reward for this New Trainer Tournament is five million Alliance coins, but that's not the most important thing. The most important thing is a Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon."
When Pseudo-Legendary Pokémon were mentioned, everyone's expressions were very excited. Not everyone had Pseudo-Legendaries. In the entire class, only Jiang Chen and Ling Wanqiu had Pseudo-Legendaries. Although others had good family backgrounds and grades, they couldn't obtain Pseudo-Legendaries. Those who could easily obtain Pseudo-Legendaries were at the top tier. Some Elite Four members whose connections weren't strong enough couldn't even obtain Pseudo-Legendaries.
"Although the allure of Pseudo-Legendaries is great, even if we participate, it's impossible for us to obtain one. It's estimated that this Pseudo-Legendary will fall into Young Master Jiang's hands."
"That's right, with Jiang Chen's strength, winning the championship is definitely not a problem."
"But it's enough to make it into the top eight. The rewards for the top eight are already pretty good."
Those who could enter the top eight would be rewarded with a move technical machine of their choice, and fifty thousand Alliance coins. For students who still relied on their families, fifty thousand wasn't a small sum. Although the family conditions of Jiang Chen's elite class were all good, their pocket money was limited.
"Stop trying to flatter me to death." Jiang Chen leaned back in his chair. Gardevoir stood behind Jiang Chen, massaging his shoulders. This scene made others' eyes red with envy. Why don't we have such gentle and thoughtful Pokémon?
Gardevoir was indeed gentle and thoughtful, but this gentleness was reserved for Jiang Chen. Towards others, she was very cold and aloof. Even at home, she rarely greeted Ning Ya.
"You're not flattering me to death; you just have the strength. With just your Gardevoir, no one in the New Trainer Tournament can defeat you," Zhao Qian said enviously.
Where can one find such a gentle and powerful Pokémon? In the future, when they graduate and travel in the wild for training, Gardevoir would also be the best partner, guaranteeing the trainer's absolute safety.
"I'm envious that you'll get another Pseudo-Legendary."
"Actually, I'm not interested in Pseudo-Legendaries. Pseudo-Legendaries are actually no different from ordinary Pokémon."
Jiang Chen's humble-bragging words made the surrounding classmates want to punch him.
"If I wasn't weaker than you, I'd definitely let you taste my iron fist."
Zhao Qian really wanted to hit someone. This guy was showing off too much.
Soon after, the homeroom teacher, Old Zhang, walked in. He also talked about the National New Trainer Tournament and notified everyone to sign up. Jiang Chen naturally signed up. This tournament was different from the previous school ranking competitions and friendly exchange matches.
As long as one ranked in the top 100 in the New Trainer Tournament, they could apply for early graduation from school and receive their graduation certificate early. Otherwise, they would have to stay in school for another year, and then undergo a normal graduation assessment. If they failed the assessment, they still couldn't graduate.
After signing up, everyone went to train their Pokémon. The competition for the New Trainer Tournament began as soon as registration ended.
Within each school across the country, there would first be an elimination round. Only the top thirty students in each school would advance to the next round, followed by selections in each city. Most people were eliminated before the New Trainer Tournament even officially began.
In fact, the New Trainer Tournament was considered officially started as soon as registration began. The new round of campus rankings began to fluctuate, but Jiang Chen could sit back and relax. He held the top spot, and no one challenged him. Including Ling Wanqiu, who was second, no one challenged her either. It could be said that Jiang Chen and Ling Wanqiu successfully advanced without having to do anything in the first round of eliminations.
"What about your Gible?"
Ling Wanqiu was training Pokémon with Jiang Chen and didn't see the Gible that Imperial Capital Pokémon Academy compensated. She couldn't help but ask.
"I gave it to my dad."
"I already have a Garchomp and don't plan to raise another one."
"You're really generous," Ling Wanqiu couldn't help but say.
"What's there to be reluctant about? It's not like I gave it to an outsider."
Jiang Chen stroked Dragonair's head. Not only Dragonair, but even Vibrava and Fraxure also gathered around Jiang Chen.
"Why are my Pokémon gathering around you?"
Ling Wanqiu also noticed something strange. Why did her three Pokémon like to run to Jiang Chen?
"They probably like me," Jiang Chen replied with a smile.
In reality, if he wasn't mistaken, it was probably his Dragon Plate hanging around his neck that attracted them.
