Pokémon: Hoenn Storm

Chapter 126 South Sea Trainer School (55)
"Principal Lai, do you mean to change the name of the school and expand enrollment in the future?"

In the mayor's office, Mayor Ikeda was a little surprised when Rai suddenly came to the door.

"Yes, I do have this intention. In the short term, there may not be conditions for large-scale enrollment expansion, but in the future, we can indeed recruit students from the entire Nanhai region and make the school bigger. Facts have proved that students from other places are also very good. There are several graduates in the first batch.”

Len nodded and handed him a list.

"Of course this is possible, but I'm afraid there will be some shortages in funding and teaching staff."

Ikeda was a little worried, which was expected by Rai, so he handed Ikeda a business card.

"This is my partner. His name is Yaxida. He is also from Nanhai. He will be happy to help the school expand. As for the teachers, it would be good to have a few students in the first batch. They can lead new ones and learn while doing so. , there will be a group of graduates in a year, and some vacancies can be filled. The rest will be filled by Yusaku and the others. I am currently coordinating his dojo matters."

Having said that, Ikeda had no need to hesitate anymore. He said on the spot that he would support Lai's approach and would personally communicate with Yaxida.

Lai, who had already spoken with Yaxida on the phone before coming, knew that the matter was mostly done. After inviting the mayor to watch the actual combat assessment half a month later, he left.

Three days later, Yashida, who returned to the South China Sea, discussed in detail with Ikeda and Lai, and finally determined the construction ideas for the battle facilities, new campus and dojo.

In Yashida's plan, the original school site and the deserted city park on the side of the school will be the main scope. The expansion of the school and the construction of facilities in the name of the water system dojo that will not be reported to the alliance will be carried out. After completion, other projects will be completed. After the construction of the regional battle facilities is completed, this will become the first stop on the pioneering journey: the Battle Academy.

The leader of the development of this place is currently determined to be the water Pokémon trainer Yusaku. Although his current strength is still somewhat lacking, under the age of 20, he still has a lot of room for growth after several years of experience.

Before Yashida returned, Lai discussed this idea repeatedly with him and believed that it was both concealable and operable enough and suitable for the early layout of the development area.

For a project that does not require the town to bear too much economic pressure and can promote local education and future industrial development, Ikeda readily agreed after inviting professionals to carefully examine it.

As a result, the school's name change was finally finalized. At the graduation ceremony of the first batch of students, the school's official name was changed from Tianshui Island Trainer School to Nanhai Trainer School, and then the two-month vacation began.

After reopening, that is, half a year after the school is established, the school will recruit students in the six-year program and enroll over-age students in temporary classes for the entire South China Sea region, including the islands and offshore seas.

······
After agreeing on this matter, Yashida and Rai walked side by side on the streets of the town.

"Lai, once we take this step, there will be no room to look back."

Yaxida, whose face looked a little more weathered after not seeing her for a while, also had a much deeper tone.

Hearing his words, knowing that he was not confident, Lai patted his chubby back and said loudly: "We don't need any room to turn back, because it can be done."

Infected by Lai's tone, Yahida smiled: "If I had your strength 20 years ago, I wouldn't have taken such a path. It's great to have talent! All my dreams are here. It’s counting on you.”

"No, you are wrong. People's dreams are never placed on others, but realized step by step by oneself. The road we are walking on can never be completed by one person." Lai's eyes Fly far away.

"One person can't finish the journey. Yes, that's true. Then, let's do something earth-shattering together!" Yaxida, who is over thirty years old, after years of ups and downs in the business world, looks at herself for more than ten years. The changed beach clothes make me look back at myself who started from scratch as a hawker on Kaina Beach.

······
"Principal, do we want to change the name of our school?"

In the afternoon training class, the local students were very puzzled, while the students from outside the island, represented by Youxiang, Gao Guang, and Xinwu, were full of joy.

"Everyone be quiet and listen to what the principal has to say."

As the leader of local students, Issei gradually became quite prestigious in a few months. As soon as he opened his mouth, the chattering students quickly fell silent.

"The reason for the name change is very simple. If the school wants to expand, it will not just focus on the one-third of an acre of Tianshui Island. There are many students who lack education in the South China Sea Islands and offshore islands. The school is naturally set up so that they can also enjoy education. .At the same time, new students will also bring new competition, which will allow your junior students to continue to improve."

With that said, Lai pointed at Youxiang: "Youxiang is not a student of Tianshui Island. Isn't she not good enough from the outskirts of the archipelago?"

Then he pointed at Gao Guang and Xin Wu: "Gao Guang and Xin Wu are students from Waihai. Aren't they strong enough?"

"Remember, there is no geographical difference in study, only the level, so that you can go far. Do you understand?"

"Understood, Principal." Issei responded solemnly.

"What about the rest?"

"Understood, principal!" The voices came together.

Lai nodded with satisfaction. He had discovered the subtle differences between local students and foreign students in the school very early. He just took this opportunity to give these young people a beating on their heads. Competition is a good thing, and there is no need to divide people's hearts. .

"Then, let's start today's training now. Let's change the format today. Each of you can challenge any of my Pokémon, regardless of fighting method. As long as you persist for 3 minutes, even if you win, I will provide it to the winner. An attribute gem with attributes of your choice, including dragon and super powers.”

After beating, it is natural to give certain incentives. This is the basic principle of education, and Lai knows it well.

Stimulated by the rewards, the students showed a stronger "motivation to be beaten" than usual and lined up to step forward. Marilu, who was still young and weak, had an impressive intuition like the meteor swarm. Niannibao's performance made him even more popular among the students, which naturally made him quite unhappy, so he prepared carefully for every game.

Taking this opportunity, Rai not only trained the students, but also gave Marilu a lot of exercise in the process of fighting, treating, and fighting again.

Perhaps out of reserve or self-confidence, none of the top four students chose to challenge Marilu.

In fact, after a long battle, Malilu, who was still showing fatigue despite treatment, had a chance to win with their strength, and it was no difficulty to last at least 3 minutes.

But they ultimately chose to challenge Rai's other Pokémon.
