Pokémon: The Zen Trainer

Chu Guoguo sighed.

"But it will always shine!"

Yu Zhifu continued.

Thinking about it?!

"Are you all going to sing me arias one by one?!"

"What a mess!"

"I miss you, Brother! Xiao Zhi!"

"Don't cause me any trouble!"

Bian Xiang glared fiercely at the three brothers, then changed his position and lay there.

The three brothers exchanged glances, understanding each other perfectly.

As expected, she misses her brother.

Although Bian Xiang neither admitted nor denied it.

"Sigh, I really don't know what Brother Xiang is thinking."

"Winning first place and not publicizing it is like wearing fine clothes in the dark."

"Want us to lend you a hand, guys?"

The three brothers exchanged another glance.

Then I looked towards the side.

He met Bian Xiang's murderous gaze.

Moqi lowered his head again.

"If it doesn't work, it doesn't work."

Oh no, I can't sleep anymore after all that commotion from my three brothers.

Completely wide awake, Bianxiang stared blankly out the window.

He knew that the reward for being number one in the school was very good, but he couldn't claim it right now.

The relationship between Haruno High School and the Bellflower Tower is quite deep; otherwise, Haruno High School students wouldn't be allowed to participate in this tower-climbing festival unconditionally.

Taking the reward directly is tantamount to telling that old monk I'm here, and that he should send me to become a monk!

Moreover, getting exposed is troublesome, and what I fear most right now is trouble.

Furthermore, the current demand for these materials is not very urgent.

Chapter Twenty-One: Teacher Du's Obsession

"Class, students, class is in session!"

Teacher Du rubbed his head and walked into the classroom.

Yesterday, after learning that the first prize had been won by Xiaozhi from Haruno Middle School, I waited all afternoon but Xiaozhi didn't come to collect the prize.

I can still recall the expression on the principal's face, a look of utter confusion.

Are the rewards not big enough? Or are today's students too arrogant?

So the principal and a group of homeroom teachers spent the whole night going through the student roster, but they still couldn't find Xiao Zhi.

They were too embarrassed to ask Master Guang Sheng to confirm, in case they mistook him for someone else. It would be a huge blunder, and Haruno High School would be so embarrassed. The Bossa Tower would also lose face. So the matter was left unresolved.

There were still more important things to do. The school team had returned from the Flying Department Gym, and the selection of the reserve school team would soon be on the agenda.

Joining a school team is undoubtedly a shortcut if you want to get into a good university.

The school team members can participate in various competitions and receive the most resources.

Of course, the competition for the school team is also quite fierce. During the first selection, Shi Shouxin was just a little bit short of being selected for the school team. At that time, Teacher Du was very disappointed. To this day, no one from Teacher Du's class has been selected for the school team. The once-genius Bian Xiang has also fallen into the same situation in Teacher Du's class. When Bian Xiang was assigned to Teacher Du's class, many colleagues looked at Teacher Du with envy. Now, those colleagues look at Teacher Du with a hint of mockery.

At times like this, Du Congyu would doubt whether he was suited to be a teacher, or to lead combat class students. Perhaps he should have chosen to work at the dojo back then, which would have been better than staying here and misleading students.

Teacher Du chuckled self-deprecatingly. The principal had also spoken to him privately. This time, their record for climbing the Trumpet Sprout Tower was the worst. Shi Shouxin, the strongest student in the class, gave up early and didn't even try to climb. However, the three lively students in the class surprised Du Congyu. They climbed quite high, but still much lower than the average of other classes. There was a hint of warning in his words.

Du Congyu also understood what the principal meant.

I'm over forty, my back isn't what it used to be, I have elderly parents and young children to support, and my companion, the big-billed sparrow, is getting old and I don't know how many more years it can fly. I've lost my hair and the drive I had when I was young. Maybe I should really quit my job? Try my luck somewhere else? Becoming a deliveryman might not be a bad idea.

However, Du Congyu was a little worried. He decided to continue teaching this class for another year, even if it meant swallowing his pride. He wanted to see things through to the end, as he was also concerned about these students, especially Bian Xiang.

Teacher Du's gaze unconsciously drifted in that direction.

Then his gaze sharpened!

The three lively kids in the class were surprisingly sitting up straight and looking very serious today.

While thinking about the kid, she was still staring blankly out the window. Even with her own little sprite, she remained as lazy as ever.

The worry from before vanished instantly, and he thought to himself, "This kid, as long as I haven't quit, you'd better teach me a lesson!"

"Think about it!!"

While thinking, she subconsciously turned her head away.

Obsession: Teacher Du's hope.

I hope that in this final year, someone in our class will be able to make it onto the school team! May everyone in our class study hard and strive for improvement every day!

Is it the last year? Is Lao Du preparing to leave?

He paused for a moment, then looked up at Teacher Du.

Or is he terminally ill?

"Do I have flowers on my face? You're standing here during class today!"

Hmm, that's quite a strong voice; looks like he's preparing to leave the company.

Why would Lao Du resign when he was doing such a good job? From Bian Xiang's perspective, Teacher Du is a very responsible and dedicated teacher who treats all students equally and has a positive class atmosphere.

He turned his head to look at the three brothers next to him who were listening attentively to the lesson.

The only possibility is these three. Having three outstanding individuals in one class is something even a typical teacher couldn't handle. Teacher Du lost a lot of hair over two years, but these three guys should be working hard lately, right? After all, they said so back at the Trumpet Sprout Tower. Getting into the school team will be even easier; just have Shi Shouxin work hard. He almost did last time, so give it his all this time. After all, their goal is the Crimson Red team; they can't afford to slack off.

If you remove the three older brothers, aren't the remaining students the ones who study hard and strive for excellence every day?

Hmm... So this Buddha-nature value wasn't obtained for free?

This system is quite generous.

.....

In the afternoon, at the free training ground.

Gastly keeps using Fright on the target!

"just!!"

The bursts of blue light shining on the target were dazzling.

Such frequent frights caused the surrounding students to involuntarily look over.

"Is this Gastly terrified? Such a fast frequency!"

"Why is your Gastly so big? It's like a washbasin! It's bigger than any Gastly I've ever seen!"

"just?"

You're saying I'm fat?

Gastly was a little unhappy and released its frights more frequently.

Get some exercise and lose some weight along the way.

"Does the skill 'Scare' require no waiting time to use?"

"That was incredibly fast!! No wonder it's Brother Xiang!!"

While watching Gastly, it was clear that the frequency of Gastly's startles was much faster than before!

Blue light continuously erupted on the target. The power and release speed were much faster. Bian thought this was mainly because this guy had consumed a curse talisman yesterday, which greatly improved his own attributes. Moreover, he was a bit too full, so he needed to vent his anger properly today.

I was thinking of letting Gastly try to learn the move "Misfortune Never Comes Alone".

Teacher Du specifically mentioned that Gastly that learns the Fright move will also learn the Misfortune move very quickly.

This is called the pre-emptive effect.

This means that the skill "Scare" might be a prerequisite for a series of misfortunes.

There's a popular saying online: "Fire is the element that produces flames!"

This means that the flame is a prerequisite for all fire-type skills.

Ultimately, it depends on the Pokémon's own qualities and the trainer's methods.

Let Gastly get a feel for the game first.

"While thinking~"
