Elf: Starts with small diamonds, then mutates into Diancie.

Su Hao had never heard of such a position in the Divine Continent Alliance. He turned his questioning gaze to Li Qingyi, hoping to find out from the Alliance civil servant whether it was true.

Upon receiving Su Hao's questioning gaze, Li Qingyi understood and immediately nodded to confirm that it was true.

"Is that confirmed? How about we find a room to talk?"

Miao Yin understood what Su Hao was thinking.

Indeed, since the Twelve Earthly Branches had always remained in the shadows, it was understandable that Su Hao didn't recognize them.

However, since the launch of the Seed Project, the Shenzhou Alliance has been intentionally pushing them to the forefront.

Su Hao: "...Okay."

Li Qingyi, who was standing nearby, was very perceptive and immediately suggested that there was a private reception room where Su Hao and Miao Yin could discuss things.

......

After Li Qingyi led Su Hao and Miao Yin to the reception room, she directly stated that she...

She had to go back to cook for her children, so she closed the door and left.

After watching Li Qingyi leave, Miao Yin broke the silence in the quiet reception room.

His purpose in coming here was to persuade Su Hao to become his disciple and participate in the selection process for the "Seed Project" within the alliance.

The so-called Seed Program refers to the Shenzhou League's initiative to cultivate a new generation of trainers. It limits trainers to senior college students and allows veteran trainers within the league to select promising talents and submit them for consideration.

It's perfectly acceptable for veteran trainers to take on promising trainers as their disciples. With experienced trainers guiding them, the younger generation will avoid many pitfalls, and the Shenzhou League strongly supports this.

The new generation of trainers reported by the Seed Program will be gathered by the League in one place for elimination matches. Even those who are eliminated in the first round will receive additional resources from the League.

The higher your ranking, the more resource rewards you will receive.

Even the true "seeds" of the top eight can obtain the qualification to go to the Nirvana Secret Realm, a secret realm that is not open to the public by the Divine Continent Alliance, for "trials".

Miao Yin understood that Su Hao's battle style was very versatile and he was not a trainer who specialized in one style.

It's impossible to specialize in his martial arts and pass it on.

His only goal was to get Su Hao to register as his disciple and then participate in the Seed Project.

"Su Hao, how about learning about the Seed Project?"

Victory Star - Victini

Chapter 124 Arena Match!

Where there are people, there will be conflict.

Because Yangcheng is home to the Rising Sun Gym, one of the eighteen attribute gyms in the league, several high schools within the city have received certain resource support from the league.

Especially Yangcheng High School.

Yangcheng, which is ranked second in Sichuan Province but is actually at the level of a third or fourth-tier city in terms of overall development, has only had one outstanding trainer in recent years: Fire-type Gym Leader Su Xu.

After the Shenzhou Alliance issued the new policy, resources began to be redistributed.

Yangcheng High School was not particularly strong to begin with, and very few students possessed Pokémon with elite-level combat power each year.

Thanks to the allocation of resources, Yangcheng High School recently even hired a veteran professional trainer as the coach of the battle department.

Yangcheng High School held the grade-level competition for this purpose, in addition to selecting participants for the National High School Cup, it was also to select students for the newly established combat course.

After all, Su Xu's son also happened to receive his starter Pokémon at this age.

However, before the combat coach was even in place, Master Su's son dropped out of school to gain experience.

When Su Xu was helping Su Hao with the formalities, he only mentioned that Su Hao had gone out to train, but did not mention that he was challenging the dojo.

With the upcoming relocation of the eighteen attribute dojo masters and the new policy allowing the establishment of dojos in various regions, a heated debate has erupted within Sichuan Province regarding whether Yangcheng will still enjoy preferential resource allocation.

Ultimately, the proposal put forward by the mayor of Rongcheng, the largest city in Sichuan Province, was unanimously approved by everyone except the mayor of Yangcheng. The proposal allowed Yangcheng to set up a competition arena at Yangcheng No. 1 High School, where students of the same age from key high schools arranged by Rongcheng could compete.

If Yangcheng High School can defend its position, resources will be allocated as usual.

If the high school in Chengdu successfully challenges and defends the title, the resources allocated to it will be distributed equally among all prefecture-level cities in Sichuan Province.

And so, May Day arrived.

Yangcheng High School will face a challenge from a top high school student from Chengdu, the leading city in Sichuan Province.

Yangcheng High School, Battle Department Classroom.

Zhong Li, a retired veteran professional trainer, received an invitation from the principal of Yangcheng High School to become the head of the battle training program.

Out of respect for our longtime friendship, she came to Yangcheng High School to serve as the homeroom teacher and coach for the senior year combat team.

Yangcheng High School still has a few promising students.

However, compared to the geniuses in big cities, she lacked confidence.

Give her some more time, and she's confident she can help them upgrade their main Pokémon to Elite rank before the college entrance exam.

Before reaching the Elite tier, most Pokémon with good potential experience the fastest growth rate in their lifetime.

Once you reach the elite level, the advancement speed slows down, and you also have to worry about breaking through the barrier to the professional level.

According to statistics, most high school seniors in the Shenzhou Alliance have at least one elite-level combatant in their teams during the college entrance examination.

During the college entrance examination period, the league only allows the starter Pokémon caught by the examinee in their senior year of high school and Pokémon whose strength did not exceed the elite level when caught later to appear in the game.

This prevents Pokémon raised by large families from childhood from appearing during the college entrance examination, giving students from many ordinary families the opportunity to succeed.

Zhong Li scanned the training ground and found exactly fifty combat science students.

Among them, she only had high hopes for five promising talents who could compete in the arena: Kong Lingwei, Jiang Chengcheng, Li Hua, Wen Hao, and He Xu.

Kong Lingwei is a psychic. She is trained by a gym leader who also has psychic abilities. Her main trainers are Natu and Gardevoir, both at the early Elite level, and Diplodocus, at the late Normal level.

Jiang Chengcheng, the inheritor of the Flowing Water School, is said to have lost to Kong Lingwei, but even Zhong Li can't judge who is stronger between the two now.

Her main force consists of a female monster of the early Elite level, a Tyrannosaurus Rex of the early Elite level, and a Heartscale Treasure of the late Common level.

Although Li Hua is a bit unreliable at times, he is quite strong. His main force consists of early-stage elite-level Steel Crow and Altaria.

A month ago, he received a small Charmander egg sent by a classmate who had been absent from school. It hatched the next day and is now a late-stage Common Charmander.

He Xu has elite

Serperior in the early stages of Tier 1 and Roserade and Sakura in the later stages of Tier 2.

The last one, Wen Hao, has an elite-level Blastoise in the early stages, and a common-level Pinsir and Ludicolo in the late stages.

"The school and even the city are taking this competition very seriously. Are you confident you can win?" Zhong Li called the five of them aside and asked.

Li Hua complained, "Sister Li, it's not a matter of confidence. Although it seems that both we and the other side have elite-level Pokémon as our fighting force, each of them has three or four elite-level Pokémon. They can wear us down."

According to information specifically collected by Yangcheng High School, a total of ten senior high school students from Rongcheng No.1 Middle School came to Yangcheng High School for an "exchange competition".

Among the ten senior high school students at Rongcheng No. 1 High School, five have an elite Pokémon, three have two elite Pokémon, and two have three... and four.

Fortunately, everyone was at the early stage of elite level, so it wasn't to the point where they couldn't even fight.

However, only those five students from Yangcheng High School possessed elite-level combat power...

Zhong Li said irritably, "Stop being so disrespectful, let's arrange the order of battle now!"

If she could postpone the exam until before the college entrance examination, she could still teach several high school seniors with elite-level combat capabilities, but now she has only been in office for about two months, so it's difficult.

......

Five o'clock in the afternoon, school time.

Li Hua and Jiang Chengcheng walked together, preparing to go home.

As they grew up, their families moved away from the neighborhood where they lived as children. Now, Jiang Chengcheng's family lives in the Taoist temple, Li Hua's family lives in an apartment, and Su Hao lives in a villa area on the outskirts of Yangcheng.

Fate is always wonderful; the three of them had been in the same school and class since childhood.

Jiang Chengcheng wore a single ponytail today, looking simple and capable.

She turned her head and asked, "Did you ask when Su Hao will be back?"

Based on their previous contact, she remembered that Su Hao should have already gone to the fourth dojo.

Li Hua pondered for a moment, took out his phone, glanced at the chat history, and said, "He said he's already on his way back."

"Oh right, he's already caught his fourth Pokémon, a very cute Shiny Dragapult Messia."

Li Hua clicked into Su Hao's WeChat Moments and found a selfie Su Hao had posted a few days ago.

The composition of the photo is simple: a handsome young man with black hair and golden eyes stands at the foot of Ice Feather Mountain, with an adorable dragon Mesia perched on his head.

"Hmm... Come to think of it, I didn't even notice it at the time."

"Is he wearing colored contact lenses?"

Jiang Chengcheng leaned closer to the phone that Li Li was holding up and examined it carefully.

She saw Su Hao's WeChat Moments post at the time, but only after looking at it again now did she realize that Su Hao's eyes had changed from brown to gold at some point.
