Pokémon: The Bold Rat

The grandfather was uneducated and could barely recognize a few words, but because his grandson's words made sense and he contacted the doctor, he was happy to continue living there.

In my dream, I kept sighing that my grandson had made great progress~

That day, the boy himself was so excited that he couldn't sleep.

[I wonder which one will be my initial elf?

Green caterpillar, unicorn worm, trumpet bud, big tail stand? 】

Under the bright moonlight, Zhao Yiyuan, who just turned 18, had a face full of anticipation.

Although I have given up the right of first choice, it is precisely because of this that tomorrow's decision is full of uncertainty.

This parallel world, which is very similar to the previous life, happened more than a hundred years ago. The space was suddenly broken, and elves of all shapes and sizes appeared one after another in the sky, land, and ocean of the blue planet.

In the beginning, humans were able to gain the upper hand with guns, but when more and more strange elves appeared, the laws of this world also changed. Today, only a few types of firearms can be effective.

Instead, it is the Pokémon trainers who take their place. The strength of a country and whether it can protect its land and people is also determined by the strength of its trainers.

Fortunately, the Dongxia Alliance is one of the best countries in the world and attaches great importance to the training of Pokémon trainers. 30 years ago, after the situation was basically stabilized, it formulated the national policy of "including Pokémon subjects in compulsory education."

During the twelve years of compulsory education, every student has added various courses in the subject of Eloquent Science in high school. Its status has directly surpassed the old main subjects other than Chinese, mathematics and politics, becoming the fourth main subject. In recent years, its status has even tended to surpass Chinese and mathematics.

After two years of training in the Pokémon subject, in the last half of senior year, students will be faced with the decision to choose a different subject. Those who intend to become trainers and have excellent grades in the Pokémon subject will be assigned to the Pokémon class, which will specialize in the training of Pokémon and related knowledge.

It is worth mentioning that for prospective trainers who have a good understanding of this knowledge and have passed the assessment, even if they do not have Pokémon, the Alliance will send a batch of common Pokémon cubs for them to choose from.

Zhao Yiyuan benefited from this policy.

When this policy came out, almost all students who passed the assessment chose the elf subject in the first three years.

After all, this is an extraordinary ladder that can change your destiny!

Unfortunately, the cruel reality directly shattered the beautiful fantasies of most people.

I won’t talk about other things, just the simplest one, elf food is a big problem!

You have to know that elves are not ordinary cats and dogs, they can use various extraordinary energies.

These energies do not appear out of thin air. If they are consumed, they must be replenished. Although there are energies in the air of the Blue Star, they are not enough for consumption, so we need to eat foods that contain energy.

Even if you eat the most common mass-produced feed, it would cost several thousand yuan a month, which is equivalent to a monthly salary for an office worker.

Apprentice trainers do not receive alliance subsidies and cannot accept Pokémon Center missions.

In other words, at this stage, you either rely on the support of your family or go out into the wild and work hard on your own.

But in the wild, how many of a trainee Pokémon cub and a rookie trainer who has only learned from books can bring their lives back?

Of course, they can switch to eating ordinary food, but in this case, the elf's life will be safe, but its strength will slowly deteriorate, and it is very likely to remain at the level of an apprentice, and eventually lose all its extraordinary characteristics.

Correspondingly, such people cannot pass the senior high school entrance examination and can only hand in their elves again, repeat the next year, and become ordinary people honestly.

In fact, this kind of thing has never happened. After all, if there is such a tendency, the head teachers of each class are not blind and will definitely persuade the students to withdraw in advance.

It saves you from wasting an elf and a year of students’ time.

Soon, the sun and the moon rotated again.

"Grandpa, I'm going to school. You must remember to eat breakfast."

After giving some instructions to the old man who had just woken up, Zhao Yiyuan put on his cross-body bag and hurried to the Third High School.

Every student I met on the road had an excited expression on his face.

However, it can also be seen that the number of students is much less than usual.

But the atmosphere on the street was hotter than usual.

"Pokopi lucky bag, a lucky bag that brings good luck!"

"Come and take a look at this lucky bag of Wishing Star Jirachi. If you buy one, you will definitely be able to choose the elf of your choice!"

"Boss, how much is one?"

"Fifty Alliance Coins!"

……

On the main road leading to the school, there were a large number of small vendors selling lucky bags. Many students bought one with the mentality of "it's better to believe it than not to believe it", and then they all drew good fortunes.

After all, this kind of business, which is almost free of cost, is unlikely to disgust the customers.

In line with metaphysical thinking, he also bought a Jirachi lucky bag. Without a doubt, inside was a lucky fortune stick that promised that all his wishes would come true.

[It’s almost as rough as what I did two years ago~]

After laughing at himself in his heart, he still put the newly carved rough wooden board into his arms.

The scene changed, and by 8 o'clock in the morning, there were fifteen students sitting scattered in the classroom of Class - of Senior High School.

Compared with the original total number of 40 students, it only accounts for about a quarter.

Among the 25 people who were eliminated, some were poor students whose grades in the Elf Subject did not meet the requirements, and some passed the assessment but voluntarily gave up due to family factors.

After all, a basic expenditure of several thousand yuan a month is a big burden for a well-off family, not to mention training resources...

In fact, Zhao Yiyuan should be the one with the worst family background among the 100 candidates for training in the whole grade. If his grades had not been at the top of the list all year round, I am afraid that the teacher would have directly persuaded him to drop out.

"Okay, now that everyone is here, let's go directly to the multimedia conference room!"

When the fat boy Liu Fei was the last one to arrive in the classroom, Teacher Fang on the podium led everyone in Class 5 out.

On the way, although the team was relatively orderly, the whispers among them never stopped.

"Gao Yu, which elf do you want to choose?"

"As for me, I think the orb-silk spider is pretty good. It's stronger than the caterpillar and the unicorn worm, and its evolution is not slow either.

I don’t know if I can get a turn based on my grade ranking.”

"Jia Jia, you really have to choose the trumpet sprout. The final evolution of this elf requires a leaf stone, which is very expensive!"

……

Even the fat classmate came closer and asked in a low voice:

"Yiyuan, are you really giving up your right of first choice?"

"Hmm~"

In response, the boy nodded calmly.

“Ah~ Although it’s a bit of a pity, you should still be in the first tier, and you will have more choices.

Unlike me, who ranks in the middle and lower ranks, I may only have Bug-type Pokémon left by then."

As he said this, the little fat boy touched his belly, looking a little discouraged.

In response to this, the young man turned around, patted his good brother on the shoulder, and comforted him:

"Insects are not bad either. They eat little and grow fast. It shouldn't be a problem for them to help you pass the college entrance exam."
