Pokémon: The Bold Rat

"Okay, we'll keep watch for a day. Please let the school know that the family is safe."

Hearing this, Lin Xue also sighed and gave instructions to Principal Liu behind him.

"Okay, thank you for your help, Teacher Leng."

"okay."

As the class teacher, Leng Ruoning was familiar with the family situation of Zhao Yiyuan, her favorite student. She knew that there was only an elderly widower at home, so she silently took out her cell phone and walked aside.

"Ring, ring ...

At this time, the old man, who had already heated up the food several times at home, looked obviously anxious. When he heard the ringtone of his old mobile phone, he grabbed it.

"Hello~"

"Hello, is this Zhao Yiyuan's grandfather?"

"Yes, yes, you are?"

Hearing the mature female voice on the other side, the old man was stunned, then asked quickly.

"Hello, Grandpa Zhao, I am Yiyuan's homeroom teacher at school.

The three schools will hold a joint entrance exam soon. Yiyuan is staying at school for special training and will not be going home today. I am here to inform you on behalf of the school."

"Oh, I see. Okay, okay, I understand. Thank you, teacher. Please take care of our Xiao Yuan."

"Well...Okay, Grandpa Zhao, don't worry, I will..."

God knows how she, as a teacher, endured the self-blame in her heart to comfort a grandfather who was always nagging and only cared about the children.

But things are not set in stone yet. Whether out of her own selfishness or pressure from above, she has to keep the news secret for the time being.

Fortunately, the school was over when the incident happened, so no other students knew about it.

Otherwise, this news would be difficult to conceal.

"Director Qin, have teachers of each grade send out a notice to inform parents that the school will temporarily renovate the training hall tomorrow and classes will be suspended for one day.

Also, let the construction team come over and officially start the renovation tomorrow."

When I returned to the team, I heard the bald principal Liu giving instructions to the grade director.

"Okay, Principal, I'll do it right away."

At the same time, Lin Yue was also giving orders to Deputy Director Gao.

"Secretly send two groups of people to stay here day and night, and report to me immediately if there is any abnormality.

In addition, we must control the paparazzi at the school gate and make sure that no news leaks out."

"understand."

Wiping the cold sweat from his forehead, Deputy Chief Gao hurried down to give orders.

Before things escalate into a real scandal, no one wants the matter to become a big deal. If the student can come back safe and sound a day later, that would naturally be the best, and everyone would be happy, and everyone would just pretend that the scandal had never happened.

While the outside world was blocking the news, Zhao Yiyuan also stayed in the illusory secret realm for more than ten days.

During this period, he had thought about telling Uncle Takeneng about the evolution of Steelix when he met him again, but unfortunately, Takeneng, who had just had an epiphany, devoted himself to training. He only came back once in the past ten days. He was in such an abnormal state of fanaticism that he didn't respond even if he called him several times.

This made Zhao Yiyuan feel bitter.

The only gain was that I learned two more moves from Sandslash, namely shadow clone and substitute.

As for attacking moves, Rattata is actually enough, so I specifically asked for advice on dodging and defending moves.

Among them, he valued the two moves demonstrated by Sandshrew and pestered them to learn them.

After more than ten days of training, we have all become proficient.

[Shadow Clone·Proficient (456/1000), Stand·Proficient (789/1000)]

In addition, I have mastered the digging skill I learned at the beginning.

[Digging·Mastery (1025/10000)]

In fact, he had an ambition to learn these two moves. Since the substitute can possess the attributes and status of the original body, if it is practiced to perfection or even complete, and then combined with the equally perfected or complete shadow clone, could it achieve the effect of the shadow clone technique in a certain (fire) kage?

This is not a fantasy. When observing Sandshrew's independent training, Zhao Yiyuan found that its shadow clone had practiced to proficiency. In actual combat, it relied on its extremely fast speed to cause confusion between the real and the fake.

That is, each clone seems to be real, with its own expressions and movements, but fake is fake after all, and only one can cause harm.

After all, the shadow clone is just an illusion, but would it be different if the clone was replaced with a stand-in?

No one in the secret realm of fantasy would answer his question, so he could only try it himself.

Fortunately, mastering extremely difficult moves may not be easy for ordinary people, but for little Rada who has the God of Hard Work paying off, it is nothing more than a matter of practicing for a few more days.

“But if this continues, I will get more and more accustomed to life in the secret realm.

In the end, I even forgot that I am not from this world."

Looking at little Rada who was still training hard, Zhao Yiyuan smiled bitterly in his heart.

He could feel that his subconscious seemed to be becoming more and more accepting of this world. At first, he felt that the elves in the wild had dull eyes, like programs, but now he no longer had that feeling.

This should be the assimilation influence that the old teacher talked about in class.

But to interrupt Wu Neng's training?

Listening to the "rumbling" sound in his ears and looking at the giant snake raising dust in the valley, he decisively gave up the idea.

If Uncle Wu Neng was in a normal state, he could still call a halt, but after observing for the past ten days or so, he was sure that both Wu Neng and Onix were not in normal state.

I'm afraid he would be killed by the aftermath not long after.

"Hey~"

Just as the young man was lamenting another day of sighing, an excited shout suddenly came from the distant valley.

"Roar!"

In the valley, a huge, ferocious rock snake was roaring towards the sky.

On top of its head, Wu Neng, with tattered clothes and squinted eyes, was laughing loudly.

"Finally, finally a breakthrough!"

"Onix, we did it!"

"Roar!"

Wu Neng and Onix, who rushed back, hugged each other and shared the joy of the moment with each other.

[Elf]: Onix

[Level]: LV57

[Moves]: Impact (proficient), Rockfall (proficient), Bind (proficient), Gyro Ball (proficient), Stone Attack (proficient), Dig (proficient)...

There was a flash of light in his eyes, and the latest information about Onix appeared in front of the boy.

Compared with before, Onix's level has increased by 2 levels in the past ten days, and the pressure on it has become much heavier.

Don't underestimate these two levels. You know, these ten days are not enough for an apprentice-level elf like Rada to reach the next level.

And Onix is ​​an elite-level boss!

"Thanks, Xiao Yuan. It was your words that allowed Onix and I to take that step on our own and enter the ranks of quasi-gymnasiums!"

Wu Neng patted the shoulder of the young man who was walking towards him, his face full of excitement.

"Quasi-gym?"

"What level is this? I remember that the level above elite is called professional level."

The shoulder that was patted hurt, and Zhao Yiyuan was full of doubts.
