As a trainer, he has the rain trait

Although they weren't the last to arrive, they were still late, as everyone was almost there. By the time the last few people hurried over, it was exactly half past eight.

Everyone released their Pokémon from their Poké Balls and chatted excitedly about their Pokémon. Zhilin also turned his attention to the others' Pokémon. Bilboa, Casey, Candelabra, Shine Zubat...

Huh? Shiny Zubat? There's even a Shiny Pokémon? But it seems like a poor first Pokémon for beginners, right?

He looked at the trainer next to Zubat, who was a boy who was proudly showing off his Pokémon. He seemed very arrogant, which made him frown.

But he didn't say anything, just secretly made note of this person in his heart.

Zhilin looked at Zhu Yu, who was standing nearby. Zhu Yu was standing alone, holding a kapok ball in his arms. Zhilin walked over and asked, "Why are you standing here alone?"

Zhu Yu felt a little embarrassed, "It's okay, Mumu and I are fine standing here."

"Mumu? Is that the name of this kapok ball?"

"Yes!"

“It looks very well behaved.”

At this moment, a shameless voice rang out: "Be good? What a bullshit! I don't know what a weak elf like Kapok Ball is doing here. He won't even pass the test!"

Zhilin turned his head away in disgust. The person who spoke was the one who showed off his Shiny Zubat. He remembered that the man seemed to be called Tong Yue and came from a merchant family.

"Tong Yue, right? I have something to tell you: there are no weak Pokémon, only bad trainers."

Tong Yue curled his lips and said sarcastically, "Hey! Isn't this the monitor? You're so well-educated, isn't that great? You even warned me. Do you really think you're a master?"

Zhilin raised his eyebrows and was about to attack when Wu Zhao and Yu Huan came over. Yu Huan asked rudely, "Say it again?"

Tong Yue hesitated to speak, wanting to say something harsh, but seeing Wu Zhao's unfriendly look, he could only snort coldly and ran away in shame.

"Thank you! Sorry to bother you!" Zhu Yu said apologetically.

Yu Huan comforted him, "Don't worry, Zhilin is right. As long as you take the elves seriously, they won't let you down."

Wu Zhao beside him also nodded and said, "That's right. And your Kapok Ball has the Mischievous Heart, which is a very good trait. If you cultivate it well, it will be very powerful."

Zhu Yu shook his head and smiled softly, "Don't worry, I know, and I'm not that fragile!"

"That's good!"

Zhilin, who couldn't get a word in, breathed a sigh of relief and thought to himself: Zhu Yu seems to be quite stable, maybe Teacher Su is just worrying too much.

Zhu Yu looked at the absent-minded monitor, waved his hand in front of him, and said, "Thank you for your concern, monitor!"

Zhilin came back to his senses and nodded, "Well, you can come to me for help if you need anything in the future."

"it is good!"

Wu Zhao placed his hand on Zhilin's shoulder, gave him a thumbs-up and said, "Hey, Alin knows a lot about cultivation. You can ask him to help cultivate your kapok balls."

Zhu Yu was a little surprised and asked, "You are a cultivator? Why don't you apply to the Cultivation College?"

Zhilin glanced at Wu Zhao helplessly and explained, "I'm not a breeder and haven't taken the exam yet. The reason I chose to apply to the training academy is because my family wants me to be a trainer more than a breeder."

Wu Zhao ignored Zhilin's gaze and praised him again, "He was the one who helped me train in the virtual battle game. Even the trainers in our gym think his training level is pretty good. Even if he's not a trainer yet, he's not far behind. At least it's good enough for us. Ah Lin, you're being rude if you keep being modest!"

Zhu Yu's eyes lit up and he looked at Zhilin in surprise. Zhilin had no way to refute and was extremely skeptical of Wu Zhao's words. He thought about trying to become a breeder later. Was he as good as Wu Zhao said?

Thinking of this, he finally felt a burning gaze. Zhu Yu's expectant look made him feel embarrassed to refuse.

"I try my best!"

Zhu Yu smiled broadly and said thankfully, "Then I'll leave it to you, squad leader!"

Zhilin sighed helplessly, feeling that his four years in college would not be easy!

The instructor finally arrived, albeit a few minutes late, but you can just say you didn't come, right? (dog head)

The instructor was a young man who looked not much older than them. He was dressed in a green ancient robe, with bright tiger eyes under his eyebrows. He had a strong body and an imposing aura.

Seeing that the team was disorganized and chattering, the man's face turned slightly cold. He took out a Poké Ball and released a Pokémon. As soon as the Pokémon came out, it understood what its trainer meant. When it released its aura, everyone felt a sense of oppression and the venue suddenly became quiet.

The man walked up to them and said, "Stand still!"

Zhilin hurriedly walked into the team and stood in line.

The man waited until they all found their seats before saying, "My name is Zuo Tingyun. I'm your instructor and will be in charge of your training this week."

He paused, then continued, "As students, you are clearly not up to standard. You are undisciplined, disorganized, and lack discipline. Who is the class monitor? Step out!"

Zhilin's expression changed and he walked out with a bitter face.

Zuo Tingyun noted his face and said, "Everyone, run five laps as punishment, including the elves. The squad leader failed to manage the situation properly, so he will be punished with three more laps."

Zhilin began to regret choosing to be the squad leader. Just as he was about to release the sheep to start running, he heard someone in the team say, "Why? I came to college to be a trainer, not an athlete. There's no such thing as corporal punishment."

Zhilin was stunned and turned around in surprise to see who was so reckless as to contradict the instructor on the first day. He smiled when he saw him. What a coincidence, it was Tong Yue, the Shiny Zubat trainer.

Zhilin thought to himself: He is indeed spoiled and arrogant!

Zuo Tingyun raised his eyebrows and said casually:

"Pokémon battles aren't solely decided by the Pokémon. Besides tactical planning and command, the Trainer's strength is also crucial. You'll likely encounter open-ended battles in the wild. It's not about defeating your opponents, it's about not letting the Pokémon down. Running is a great way to build up your strength and endurance."

If you don't agree, you can go home immediately; or, do you want to challenge me?"

As soon as the last sentence was spoken, the previous feeling of oppression reappeared, but this time the pressure was all on Tong Yue. Tong Yue's face turned pale and he couldn't help but take a few steps back. If someone hadn't supported him from behind, he might have fallen directly to the ground.

Seeing this, Zhilin looked down on him even more. He shook his head, let the Meli sheep out, and started running towards the track.

Someone took the lead, and although the others were reluctant, they still chose to release their Pokémons and start running. With nearly fifty people and their Pokémons, it was quite a lot in the training hall. The 200-meter circular track was stretched into a long line.

The ones running in the front are Zhilin and Wu Zhao. Zhilin is because he started running first, while Wu Zhao is purely because of his strong strength.

Zhilin glanced at Wu Zhao, who stopped speeding up after running next to him, and asked curiously, "Is the official trainer assessment difficult?"

Wu Zhao ran easily and replied, "It's not difficult. Thank you for helping me cultivate Heracross."

After hearing Wu Zhao's answer, he looked at a steady black beetle behind Wu Zhao. Hercules' steps were as rhythmic as its master.

Zhilin raised his eyebrows and gave the sheep a look. The sheep understood and adjusted its state with the trainer and began to speed up.

Wu Zhao chuckled at this, "Then let's race, Heracross, let's speed up too!"

"Hera~"

Hula~

Wu Zhao and Heracross rode away, followed by Zhilin who was gritting his teeth and chasing them.

After chasing for a while, the distance between us became longer and longer.

Zhilin: (?o ? o?)

Never mind, there's no point in getting into trouble with the monster. He consoled himself and slowed down.

Meely the sheep was still trying to catch up, its four hooves thrashing about furiously. As it ran, it suddenly realized something was wrong and looked back, stunned:

Where's the trainer? Where's a trainer like me? Wasn't he right next to me just now?

end.

Zhilin's physical fitness is considered good among these classmates. Although not as good as that monster Wu Zhao, he still finished the three extra laps as punishment before the main group finished.

Panting, Zhilin looked sheepishly at Meli, who was waiting at the finish line. Meli called out resentfully, "Meli, meli!"

Zhilin wiped the sweat from his forehead with his hand and said with a wry smile, "How can a trainer's job be called laziness? To me, this is called strategy."

Meeli the sheep angrily nudged him with its horns. Zhilin took a step back, but didn't feel any pain. However, he knew that Meeli the sheep was unhappy, so he quickly apologized and finally coaxed it with a big meal.

The trainers and Pokémon who had finished their run happily rested in the shade of the trees. Zuo Tingyun ignored them, focusing his attention on the few who were still struggling. Zhilin noticed the instructor's expression turn sour and shook his head, saying, "I'm afraid these people are in trouble."

Wu Zhao, who had finished running early, nodded and said, "I guess they didn't do any preliminary training during the summer vacation. Those who haven't finished running now are basically unable to command the elves."

Xu Wu also came over and said disdainfully towards the runway: "Look at that guy, he only has a good spirit;"

Zhilin followed his gaze and saw Tong Yue, the Shiny Pokémon trainer. The Zubat wasn't listening to his commands, simply circling slowly in the air. Tong Yue's face was livid, and he was mumbling something, which he guessed wasn't good.

Seeing this, Xu Wu sneered, "Is this guy qualified to be a trainer?"

Just as Zhilin was about to respond, Yuhuan pulled Zhu Yu over. He thought about it and decided not to say bad things about others in front of the girls.

Yu Huan smiled and took Wu Zhao's arm and asked, "What are you talking about?"

Wu Zhao replied, "Discuss what the instructor would say about them."

“I think it’s going to be terrible!”

"Yeah, yeah, the instructor looks so fierce!"

Zhilin glanced at Zhu Yu, who was sitting next to him and complaining about the instructor, and once again remembered what Teacher Su said last night. He couldn't help but think to himself: This girl always looks normal, it seems that she doesn't need me to worry about her.

Several people were speculating about how the instructor would punish those who didn't play. Zhu Yu saw that he hadn't said anything and waved his hand in front of him, "What are you thinking about?"

Zhilin came back to his senses and said, "It's okay. I was thinking about the assessment."

Wu Zhao raised an eyebrow and asked, "Do you still need to worry about the assessment?"

Zhilin rolled his eyes and said, "You really think I'm a god!"

Zhu Yu burst out laughing. Zhilin glanced at her, and she quickly stopped smiling, stuck out her tongue, and said, "I didn't mean it."

Yu Huan waved his dainty fist at Zhi Lin and threatened, "Don't be mean to Ah Yu!"

Wu Zhao and Xu Wu laughed out loud in glee. Zhi Lin was helpless, "How dare I?"

Zuo Tingyun finally stopped the remaining people and didn't have the patience to watch any further.

"Class one, assemble!"

They were divided into two teams according to those who had finished the race and those who had not, and the instructor, as expected, scolded them harshly.

"Look at you guys. You think everything will be fine after the college entrance exam, right? Two months isn't enough for you to build a good relationship with the Pokémon? If you can't even command the Pokémon, what kind of trainers are you?"

"Don't tell me you've just captured a Pokémon. If others can do it, why can't you? Isn't this the most basic requirement? If the situation is still the same tomorrow, you don't need to come!"

After Zuo Tingyun finished spraying them, he looked at the ones who had finished running;

"You too, how many of you run like crazy? With this much stamina, you still want to be a trainer? Being a trainer isn't just a profession that exists in competitions; trainers will encounter all kinds of dangers in the wild, requiring them to have sufficient stamina and reaction speed. If you can't even protect yourself, you'd better go back!"

Zhilin smacked his lips. What a great thing! A human cannon that sprays wherever it points!

After scolding him, Zuo Tingyun looked at the silent class with satisfaction and started the class.

"Squad leader, step out!"

Zhilin was dumbfounded and walked out reluctantly, regretting his choice even more. He had to resign immediately after the training camp.

"You lead them in pairs to practice, and record the winners and losers;"

"Oh!"

Zhilin took the roster handed to him by Zuo Tingyun and called out the names in the order listed on it.

"The first group, Wu Zhao versus Zhang Sanfeng."

Zuo Tingyun brought a chair from somewhere, sat on it, and looked at the two people who came on the field. He said, "Fight as hard as you can. Nothing will happen with me here!"

Wu Zhao stretched his muscles and took out his Poké Ball to prepare, but his opponent was not so calm.

Although he has the same name as the grandmaster in the traditional Donghuang martial arts stories, he doesn't know any martial arts. Even if he did, he couldn't appear on the scene in place of Pokémon. Naturally, he was a little nervous when facing the powerful gym successor.

As expected, Zhang Sanfeng was quickly defeated.

Zhilin wrote a few words on the roster and continued to call out names...

More than an hour passed, and the fights were almost over. He also fought three games and won all of them.

Zuo Tingyun motioned for them to stop and said, "Alright, that's all for this morning's training. Squad leader, please stay. The others can go eat."

Everyone cheered and headed to the cafeteria together. Only one person stayed behind. Xu Wu patted his shoulder and said, "I'll wait for you!"

Zuo Tingyun took the roster, glanced at it, and said, "We will also have sparring training this afternoon. Try to arrange those who have never sparred together. I will judge their strength based on their performance and results and arrange the training tasks for the next few days."

"Ok!"

"I remember you got full marks in Elven Culture, right? Well, come to my office tonight. It's room 307 on the third floor of the office building."

"what?"

"Today's plan is to train with pairs of equal strength to see how they stack up. Tomorrow, we'll have cultural studies in the morning and elf training in the afternoon. My plan is to first train with pairs that have opposing attributes, to avoid being unlucky and getting caught off guard by a restrained elf during the assessment.

Come to my office tonight and help me make the training schedule."

"Oh~"

Zuo Tingyun looked at the dejected Zhilin and said with a smile, "I won't let you work for nothing. How about a secret manual of martial arts moves?"

Zhilin was stunned. He remembered that the Internet said that cheats were items that could allow Pokémon to quickly learn moves and use them proficiently, and that advanced cheats could allow Pokémon to perform even better.

Thinking of this, Zhilin grinned and said happily, "Thank you, coach!"

Zuo Tingyun rolled his eyes, "That's all he can do!"
