Pokémon: The Bold Rat

Yujiang Province, Anping City No. 3 High School.

"Everyone understands!"

"This confirmation form for your intention to choose a major is very important. You must tell your family members and get them to confirm and sign before you can do so!"

On the bright podium, a middle-aged, square-faced teacher wearing glasses was repeatedly emphasizing the report in his hand.

"I understand! Teacher Fang!"

"I can finally be a trainer, haha~"

"My parents prepared it for me a long time ago~"

Below the stage, a group of young boys and girls, still full of childishness, answered loudly one after another, their eyes full of longing for the future.

But this joyous atmosphere did not spread to the farthest corner of the classroom, where a chubby boy with short hair was asking questions in a low voice.

"Yiyuan, do you really want to give up the opportunity given to you by the school to choose elves first? The scholarship is only 10,000 yuan, it's not worth it.

I heard that among the initial elves that the alliance sent to our school this time, there are flying elves.

If the initial elves can fly, they will have a great advantage in the early stages!"

The boy being asked was wearing a blue and white school uniform, but his bangs were slightly tilted. Although his facial features were not outstanding individually, when combined together, he exuded a resolute and strong temperament.

Hearing what his deskmate said, he bit his lip, shook his head firmly, and replied:

"Da Fei, my grandfather was beaten by a group of hooligans some time ago and is still in the hospital. I need money!"

"Hey~"

Hearing this answer, the fat boy at the same table sighed and didn't try to persuade him any further.

After spending more than two years together in high school, he knew that his deskmate, although born in a poor family and raised by an old scavenger, was very independent-minded and self-disciplined. Once he made up his mind, he would not change it easily.

Not to mention, his grandfather was also involved.

"Okay, school is over. Be careful on your way home. Don't forget to fill out the report form for each subject. It must be signed by your parents!"

At this time, the teacher on the podium also finished repeating the lecture three or four times.

"Yeah, school's over!"

"School is finally over!"

"See you tomorrow~"

"goodbye teacher!"

After hearing this, the students ran out of the classroom as fast as monkeys that had lost their restraints.

"Then I'll leave too, one yuan~"

"Ok!"

When almost everyone had left, the boy in the slightly oversized school uniform quietly walked up to the teacher who was still tidying up the podium and said:

"Teacher Fang, regarding the priority selection right given to me by the school last time, I have made up my mind. I don't want this priority selection right, but I want a scholarship of 10,000 yuan."

"What's wrong, Zhao Yiyuan? I remember when I told you about this before, you made a very decisive choice. Why did you suddenly change your mind?"

Hearing this suddenly, Teacher Fang, who was sorting out the lesson plan, was a little surprised. He adjusted his black-framed glasses on the bridge of his nose, looked at this proud student who had always topped the list, and immediately began to persuade:

"Teacher, I can tell you something. This year is different from previous years. For students like you whose families are not well-off but have excellent academic performance, we will provide you with more than just green caterpillars, unicorn beetles, mosquito coil tadpoles, walking grass... these common elves.

This year our principal managed to secure a flying Bobo cub.

For you, this is an opportunity to catch up with those classmates from wealthy families.

Don't lose the big picture for the small. When you become a trainer and get into a good Pokémon university, you will know that ten thousand dollars is nothing."

"Teacher, I understand."

Looking at the head teacher who was giving earnest instructions and kind advice, Yiyuan was moved.

Although this class teacher is just an ordinary person who failed to get into the Elf University, it is undeniable that he is indeed a good teacher.

"But my grandpa was beaten by a group of hooligans and is in the hospital. I need money now!"

When he said this, the boy's pupils were full of determination.

This made Teacher Fang, who wanted to persuade him again, sigh.

"Hey~"

"Is that so? I see. Fortunately, the result has not been decided yet. I will go and tell the head teacher later."

As the class teacher, he naturally knew the student's family situation. Zhao Yiyuan, a good student, was raised with great difficulty by an old scavenger. Although they were not related by blood, the two were closer than real relatives.

The old man had an unexpected situation, it was just fate.

It's a pity for this student. If his initial Pokémon was a Flying-type Pidgeot, even if he was not as good as those students who received the three starter Pokémons, he would not be much behind. At least his starting point would be average among his peers in the entire Anping City. Coupled with his solid and excellent knowledge base of Pokémons, he might be a noble boy from a poor family who was admitted to the Pokémon University.

Now, having lost this opportunity, the most likely outcome will be the same as mine, with the best outcome being to become a teacher within the system.

Thinking of this, Teacher Fang touched the mobile phone in his pocket and felt the urge to temporarily advance the medical expenses for his son.

But just as his hand touched his pocket, the figures of his wife, children, four elderly people at home, and the mosquito-repellent boy who had been with him for more than ten years and whose strength had regressed to that of a beginner kept appearing in his mind, so he put his hand down again.

He is just an ordinary teacher with so many mouths to feed at home. It is impossible for him to be generous and donate money just because he sees a student in need.

After so many years of coaching, my initial enthusiasm has long been worn away by life.

"Thank you, teacher~"

The boy didn't show much emotion after telling this story. He just thanked him and walked out of the classroom.

Having lived two lives, he had been a senior corporate slave for five years in his previous life. He had experienced a lot, so his mentality was naturally different from that of ordinary students.

Although it was a pity to lose the Flying Pokémon Popo, he really couldn't bear to watch his grandfather, who had raised him for 18 years, being hospitalized because he had no money and had to go home and take medicine to endure it himself!

Humans are not plants or trees, so who can be heartless? In the eighteen years of this life, he watched the white hair on the old man's head grow little by little, gradually swallowing up the black hair...

Moreover, the boy was confident that even with the common elves, he could still make a name for himself in this world.

"system!"

He silently said something in his heart, and a curtain of light that only he could see unfolded in front of him.

Elf proficiency template (conditions not met)

That’s right, this is the golden finger that followed his soul to reincarnate into another world. Over the years, Zhao Yiyuan himself has also figured out the magical uses of the golden finger.

That is the data proficiency template, which is also called "God rewards hard work" on a certain novel website!

Although he cannot add points, taking mathematics as an example, as long as he does a math test paper carefully, his proficiency will increase by 1, and there is no bottleneck.
