Pokémon: The Bold Rat

Hearing this, Zhao Yiyuan's eyes flashed.

On the other side, Teacher Leng was still explaining earnestly:

“Yiyuan, you may be just a high school student, but now that you’ve entered the wild, you’re a real trainer!

You have to know that money can move people’s hearts, and brothers will settle accounts clearly, so if you meet them in the wild…”

Looking at the teacher who was teaching like an old mother, a warm feeling flashed in the boy's eyes.

"I understand, teacher. Don't forget, I grew up with my grandfather in the lower class."

"Oh, that's right, that's right."

Hearing this answer, Leng Ruoning showed a hint of doubt under his mask, but he soon felt relieved.

She was originally surprised why the boy accepted it so quickly, but when she thought about his family background, she soon understood.

……

This hunting mission seemed easy, but on the other hand, the others who were just ordinary students were complaining.

Many students were even injured even though they were protected by protective clothing.

For example, Jin Yiyi was being chased by a group of giant hornets. The big wolfhound next to her had some purple blood flowing out of its body from time to time, and it was obviously poisoned.

Behind him, the temporary coach of the Self-Defense Forces was commanding a Pidgeot and a sheep to delay with difficulty.

"Damn it, the captain set fire to the Beedrill territory again!

I have to come here several times a year, it’s too much!”

For example, the little fat boy who was resting slowly in the soil with walking grass and mushrooms, his protective suit was also full of dirty marks, and some bloodstains could be vaguely seen, green in color, and it was unknown which elf it belonged to.

Next to him, there was also a temporary coach teaching Dun Dun.

"Liu Fei, your elves are all grass-type, which has a hidden benefit in the forest and grass environment.

Moreover, most grass-type Pokémons are born with the ability to take root and recover themselves, so for minor injuries, don’t use healing spray directly.”

"Okay, Brother Li!"

Through the mask, we can see that the little fat boy, who had been laughing all the time, now has a serious look on his face.

Blood and fire, the battlefield with real swords and guns will always be the best teachers!

Of course, there were also some who had left the forest early and were healing their wounds outside with healing spray.

For example, there was a monkey monster with a bruised face and nose, humming and wheezing. Next to it, Li Fan also had a helpless look on his face.

"Monkey monster, you have such a hot temper. You haven't evolved yet. If you evolved, you would be so angry that you would die if someone said something to you~"

"Hoja!"

The monkey monster, who was beaten into a monkey shape by several ladybugs' continuous punches, still grinned.

Even though it lost, it at least played like a Fighting-type Pokémon!

The trainer doesn't even praise me, that's too much~

"Ah~ Impulse is the devil, Monkey Monster. Our strength is not yet at the point where we can defeat everything in our power. We are not qualified..."

After receiving earnest advice, Li Fan, the third-ranked boy in the class, felt for the first time what despair was.

The Pokémon in the wild seemed to know Monkey King's personality very well. Just a few shouts at him would make Monkey King fly into a rage and refuse to listen to his trainer's commands, even implicating his classmates in the same group.

He understood that if he didn't solve this problem, his grades would always be at the bottom.

This is the case for Class 1, which is the focus of training, not to mention Class 2 and Class 3.

Anyway, when it was five o'clock in the afternoon, many people in the team that came out to gather on time were covered in mud and dust, and some were even injured. I don't know where they got the confidence from. They were only at the beginner level and it was their first time to go out for an adventure hunting, but they dared to take off their protective clothing in the middle of the hunt.

The received materials were handed in for inspection. About half an hour later, Teacher Leng came back with a sullen face and threw the result sheet to the ground with a "bang".

"You guys are truly the worst class I've ever taught!"

Hearing this, many students felt a chill down their spines.

I lowered my head subconsciously.

“It’s a pity that the school has invested so many resources in you. Look at you, if it weren’t for the help of the members of the Self-Defense Forces.

According to statistics, out of the 25 people in the class, at least 15 were killed in the first hunt!

What? You just turned a deaf ear to the temporary coach's words?

And there are also some idiots who refuse to be dissuaded, feel too hot, and take off their protective clothing.

I don't know how you guys managed to pass the Elf Exam."

As he was talking, Teacher Leng carried out the injured students.

"Come here and let everyone take a good look at our iron-boned warriors. They are very capable. But you use your body to block the damage. Do you think you are Marvel Superman?"

……

This went on for another half an hour. Seeing that everyone lowered their heads in shame, Leng Ruoning ended the criticism.

The purpose of her doing this, of course, was not simply to scold the students, but to make them have a deeper impression.

I have been a teacher for so many years and I was once a student myself, so I have a good understanding of the thoughts of these greenhouse flowers.

If scolding doesn't work, why do teachers in every school scold students?

(PS: I won’t go into detail here. The author used to be a teacher. This article involves child psychology and teaching methodology. If you are interested, you can search for it.)

"Now we will announce the results and rankings. If you hunt five apprentice level hunters, they will be ranked one level lower than one primary level hunter."

With a cold face, she took the result sheet back from Lin Guoqiang and began to announce the results.

"First place, Zhao Yiyuan, hunted 3 elementary elves and 8 elves above the middle apprentice level.

Coach teaching score: B+, result indicator completion: S, overall ranking first. ”

As soon as the result came out, the originally quiet student group burst into noise.

"Fuck, Yiyuan, you are too strong. You have accomplished the goal of almost 4 people by yourself."

"Too strong, Zhao Yiyuan!"

"It's hard for me to beat a high-level apprentice Beedrill."

"Little Rada YYDS!"

……

Little Rada really enjoyed the surprised and envious looks from her classmates.

"Pulada?w?!"

Standing on the boy's shoulder, with her little face slightly tilted up, she looked as if it was nothing special.

Shushu, I haven’t actually performed at my best yet. I’ve only used less than 70% of my strength!

This is not pretense, it is the truth. After all, it is a master-level move, so Zhao Yiyuan did not let it use it because there were two outsiders present.

Otherwise, let alone three primary elves, even seven or eight would not be a problem and it would be easier to fight.

Apart from anything else, a great-level blizzard can clearly deal with several teams of insect-type Pokémon that come to chase it.

"Kuja~Kuja!"

However, Sandshrew is a little depressed because no one praises me.

I have also made a lot of contributions. Apart from anything else, this set of ice armor can withstand a lot of damage!

Shushu I feel wronged.jpg

In response, Zhao Yiyuan squatted down, smiled and touched the mole's body.

"Of course, the Sandshrew is great too. With it, I have been spared a lot of attacks~"

"Kuga~?w?"

It turns out that only the trainer knows the rat best~

After receiving Zhao Yiyuan's praise, the sandshrew's originally depressed mood was mostly gone, and it happily rubbed the boy's calf.

And after talking about the first one, the next one is the second one.

"Second place, Jin Yiyi, hunted 1 elementary elf and 2 elves above the middle apprentice level.

Coach teaching score: C+, result indicator completion: A+, overall ranking second. ”

Although Jin Yiyi, the girl with a high ponytail, also exceeded the target, others were not too surprised considering Zhao Yiyuan's outstanding performance.

Zhao Yiyuan himself didn't care at all. At this moment, he was reflecting on what he had not learned well enough.

【Coach teaching rating: B+】

This result can only be regarded as good learning, not completely mastering the knowledge.

Although he was definitely ranked first in the class, after seeing the real second-generation children in the joint entrance examination of three schools, he had set his sights a little wider and was no longer focused only on the Third High School.

That joint examination proved that he had underestimated the influence of family background.

No matter how good Rattata's moves are, he is still powerless against some special Pokémon.

Although this situation will definitely not happen again after Rattata has learned all kinds of special skills, and he can completely be used as a hexagonal all-rounder, but before that, he still needs to constantly urge himself not to be proud and complacent.

If Anping City, a third-tier city, is like this, then there must be better peers in other second-tier and first-tier cities.

[Isn't the pace of exploration wrong? 】

[Or did I choose the wrong place when cutting the elf materials, or did I not cover up the bloody smell well? ]

……

After thinking about his experiences today, his mind was a little confused, so he decided to wait until he got back to the car to ask Teacher Leng.

Then he listened quietly to the scolding that sounded again.

"There are 25 people in the class, but only 5 have achieved the goal. You really made me proud..."

"And you, Luyi, you didn't hunt a single elf and you got injured. Did you listen to your coach and do what you want? If you lose your life next time, I'll write these words on a piece of paper and burn them for you!"

……

Although what he said was a bit harsh, it was not difficult to hear that Teacher Leng still hoped that the students could catch up with the pace as soon as possible, and there was a sense of disappointment in his students.

However, most of the students listened and agreed reluctantly only because they were afraid of offending the teacher.

Leng Ruoning was not unaware of this, but it was considered good to achieve this effect.

So, after finishing the last one, he put on a disappointed expression and finally said:

"You can process the materials you hunt directly in Xingfu Village. Every village has a grocery store that recycles and sells materials."

"it is good!"

Speaking of this, the group of students who had caught the prey instantly became excited.

Under the guidance of the Self-Defense Force members, they entered the village in a noisy manner.

Along the way, many uncles and aunts looked at the place curiously, pointing and talking from time to time, and laughing when they saw a dirty child.

Obviously, the miserable appearance of this group of greenhorns has become the current hot topic in Xingfu Village.

But compared to getting paid, no one cares about the gossip.

Not long after, I saw the sign of Liang Ji Jingling Grocery Store.

It is called a grocery store, but it is more like a small supermarket. Its alloy door and red and white tile decorations are much better than those of ordinary villagers' houses.

Of course the most important thing is the Dongxia Alliance logo on the sign!

This shows that this store has alliance shares and is a public-private partnership.

In fact, this is true for almost all stores that sell recycled materials.

After all, elf materials are the basis of many strategic resources, and it is impossible for such things to be controlled by one person or one family.

It is safest if the authorities hold it in their own hands.

Of course, it is not realistic for the alliance to handle everything, so the public-private partnership approach is adopted.

The alliance issues licenses to local people who provide money, land and manpower, and takes six layers of profits.

But even so, local big players are flocking to it and rushing to sign up, and sometimes they even compete for bidding!

After all, this is a highly profitable industry, and it also has official endorsement.

"Uncle Liang, Uncle Liang, business is here. I've brought you some big business!"

When I pushed the door open, the member in gray uniform started shouting.

"What are you calling it? It's just some insect corpses. What's the big deal?"

At his call, an old man wearing reading glasses and accompanied by Cat Boss slowly walked out from behind the counter.

【Elf】: Cat Boss

[Level]: LV32

[Moves]: Proficient: Treasure Attack, Surprise Attack, High Five Surprise Attack...

Getting Started: Harsh sounds, waves of evil...

When Zhao Yiyuan "saw" the cat boss, his pupils shrank.

There is no doubt that this is not a pet cat that is raised to be looked at and stroked for comfort, but a combat elf with powerful combat power that is on the verge of an advanced level.

“Hehe~ Uncle Liang, although they are insect corpses, there must be tens of thousands of them. In our small village, it is considered a big business.”

"Hmph~ Take the things and get out!"

In response, the man called Uncle Liang picked up a bag of medium-quality grass feed from the shelf and threw it over.

"Okay, thank you Uncle Liang!"

Taking 200 yuan for free is nothing, but who would complain that they have too much money? So the member just said thank you and left.

Then the old man stood up straight, stood on the counter and said loudly:

"Okay, come one by one, put your materials on the table covered with linen, and I'll settle the bill for you."

The students who witnessed a py transaction were somewhat wary.

After all, the Self-Defense Force member got the benefits, so this old man wouldn’t deliberately lower the price!

In response to this, Uncle Liang sighed helplessly, pointed to the purchase price list in front of him on the left, and said:

“There is a purchase price list set by the alliance, which is unified across the country.

Don't worry, you bunch of green hands, if the price difference is too big, you can go directly to the Pokémon Center in the city to report it.

Honestly speaking, I can't make much money from these insect corpses of yours. Receiving you in person is just to make myself familiar with your faces. There is still a lot of business to be done in the future in villages and towns without elf centers or elf shops."

After saying that, he pointed to the dazzling array of shelves around him.

As you can see, there are healing products, as well as elf food, a wide variety of items, worthy of being a grocery store.

The Alliance does not have the strength to open Pokémon Centers and Pokémon Shops in every town and even village in the countryside, so public-private joint-venture grocery stores are the only place for most trainers to get supplies. However, the distribution of towns and villages is still relatively dense, so for the sake of their own business, local bosses will try their best to build good relationships with every trainer.
