Dual-career Pokémon trainer

Alola region, Melemele Island, Pokémon School

“Let me introduce you. This is Mr. Lin Jing, the Pokémon trainer who came all the way from the Sinnoh region.

Today he will be the special guest lecturer of this class and will teach you.

By the way, he was also the champion of the Sinnoh Region Lily of the Valley Tournament last year!"

On the podium, Kukui was introducing Lin Jing's background to the students.

Because of Kukui's suggestion, and of course Lin Jing himself seemed to be somewhat interested, after a discussion, the two decided to let Lin Jing give a class to everyone as a special lecturer today.

Following Kukui's introduction, the class, which had been quiet because Kukui brought in an unfamiliar person today, suddenly became much noisier.

"Oh, really?" The green-haired girl with twin ponytails looked surprised.

“Actually...actually he’s the champion!

Isn't that a super strong trainer who only has one in each region? "The girl with blue jellyfish hair at the next table also had a solemn expression.

"Sui Lian, you are mistaken, you are talking about the regional champion. According to Dr. Kukui, this teacher Lin Jing should be the champion of the tournament held every year in the Sinnoh region.

It’s not what you would consider a regional champion, there’s a big difference between the two.”

The blonde girl reminded her deskmate.

However, a boy in the back row who looked a few years older than the others subconsciously shouted out after a brief surprise.

"Brother Jing!"

Just as Lin Jing thought, there was now a group of little rascals with colorful hair in front of him. Except for Kachi who he had seen before, the others looked a few years younger than Xiaozhi.

Lin Jing responded to Kachi's call with a smile, but didn't say a word.

If you ask why, it's probably because they're counting heads.

Kachi, Mamane, Suiren, Mao, and Liliae, I didn’t expect that all of them were missing.

However, besides Kachi, only Mao and Taneka have Pokémon partners. It seems that the Pokémon partners of others have not been obtained yet.

And although he saw many familiar faces, Lin Jing was quite calm at the moment.

Maybe it's because he has seen too many acquaintances in the past year, so even though Lin Jing sees these familiar faces, he is not as excited as before.

"Hey! So Kachi knew Mr. Lin Jing before!"

“Of course, Brother Jing is a very powerful and excellent trainer.

Don’t underestimate him, Mamane.”

In response to the questions from his classmates, the dark-skinned Kachi also explained seriously.

"Ahem, alright everyone.

Please briefly introduce yourself.”

Seeing that several people wanted to continue the discussion, Kukui hurried to maintain order.

"Yes! I'm Kachi, and I aspire to be a man as strong as the Wera volcano like Grandpa!"

"Mamane, I am..."

"Mao..."

"Water lotus..."

......

After everyone finished introducing themselves, Kukui seemed to have thought of something and whispered into Lin Jing's ear.

"I forgot to tell you, the blonde-haired girl named Liliae over there can't touch Pokémon now because of some accidents a few years ago. Please pay attention to this aspect."

In response, Lin Jing just kept smiling and nodded slightly.

In fact, he knew it even without Kukui telling him, and he even knew the reason why Lillie couldn't come into contact with Pokémon.

But he really couldn't solve this problem. To be honest, Liliae's problem was still a mental illness.

I was even so scared that I blocked out all memories of what I experienced at that time.

As for the original method of making Liliae not afraid of Pokémon...

Subconsciously touching Vulpix's Poké Ball, Lin Jing immediately rejected this idea.

Forget about it. The reason why Lillie was able to meet White Roller was because she was able to slowly take care of it while she was inside, and then she slowly got in touch with other Pokémon and things got better.

This isn't a problem with Pokémon like Vulpix.

As for giving her a Pokémon egg in advance...

Thinking of the purple or black fat little Rattata that finally came out of the egg that Liliae had been incubating for a long time, Lin Jing's mouth twitched slightly.

-_-||Let’s skip this one too.

It would be good if it doesn't get more serious.

After all, he doesn't think he has the kind of protagonist aura that Shazam and Pikachu have.

"Well, now that everyone knows each other, let's go to the playground.

After all, you should be more interested in seeing Pokémon from other places and actual Pokémon battles with your own eyes than in lectures."

Pulling his thoughts back to his original position, Lin Jing brought everyone to the playground.

......

"Well, let's go out and get some fresh air."

After throwing out all the Poké Balls that normally require two trainers to fill, a group of little guys appeared in front of everyone.

"Hey! There are so many Pokémon!"

"Yeah, shouldn't a trainer only be able to carry six Poké Balls?"

"I'm more interested in these Pokémon than this. There are many Pokémon that Alola has never seen..."

While everyone was surprised, Lin Jing had already taken out a large red tablet.

After giving one of the little guys a look, Rotom went straight in amid the surprised gazes of many students.

The next moment, the red tablet opened its two blue eyes, and the lightning that was originally used as decoration seemed to turn into wings, allowing it to fly in the air without Lin Jing's continued support.

"Okay, Rotom, these classmates seem to be very interested in you.

It’s a good time to try out your new features.”

The next moment, amid the surprised gazes of everyone, the Rotom Encyclopedia emitted an electronic sound in response to Lin Jing's words.

"OK----"

"This is... Rotom's new form. You can even make Rotom speak?!"

If the other students were just surprised by Rotom, Kukui, who was a Pokémon professor and knew much more about this than they did, was extremely shocked.

Knowing that the other party was wrong, Lin Jing quickly waved his hands and explained.

"You misunderstood. The sounds Rotom makes are actually audios built into the Pokédex. As for making Rotom speak with the help of a machine, the Rotom Pokédex cannot do that at the moment."

That's right, the sound produced by the Rotom Encyclopedia is basically the same as that of an MP3, except that this MP3 has an extremely intelligent "artificial intelligence" and the Rotom at the core can also give feedback to the outside world through the built-in audio.

Of course, these so-called feedbacks can only be the words recorded in the illustrations.

For example, I am now facing a doll and giving you a scientific introduction...

"Almost Doll, a hearing Pokémon with average attributes.

Just by touching Pokémon with your big ears, you can feel the other's condition and even emotions.

And their hearing ability is beyond imagination, even the slightest sound from far away can be detected like radar."

"Is that so... You scared me.

But even so, this new Rotom is already amazing enough."

Looking at the Rotom Pokédex that is serving as a teacher in front of him, Kukui is filled with emotion.

"There are still many shortcomings. This is just another test."

Lin Jing shook her head slightly.

In addition to the problems I mentioned to Professor Oak before, the current Rotom Pokédex is actually a castrated version compared to the one that Kukui later gave to Satoshi.

Compared to the later ones, it can only be regarded as a test machine to many extents.

"Brother Lin Jing."

"Ok?"

Hearing someone suddenly calling her, Lin Jing subconsciously turned her head.

"It's Kachi, why don't you join everyone in listening to Rotom's introduction?"

However, Kachi shook his head, and his black eyes seemed to be burning with flames as he looked at Lin Jing with a burning gaze.

“Although I am also interested in those, you are more important to me now!

Do you still remember the agreement we made when we separated? "

Lin Jing also showed an expression of realization.

"I do remember, but I thought it would take longer."

But Kachi became even more excited.

"Since then, I have been training hard with Exploding Tortoisemon!

So Brother Jing, fight me again!"

Following Kachi's roar, the attention of the other students who were originally paying attention to the Rotom Encyclopedia was also diverted.

At this moment, Lin Jing's expression also showed a seriousness.

"Is that so? I understand."
