Everyone else is a trainer, but you are a swordsman?

If it were a regular competition in the league, this situation and the situation in which Curly gave up in the last game would rarely occur, except for rare cases such as Ash being unable to command Charizard.

Because this represents the incompetence of the trainer. Not being able to command even his own Pokémon will only make others laugh.

However, this happens a little more often in the school's "Baby Competition" because the time to obtain the Pokémon is shorter and the running-in between the trainers and the Pokémon is not enough, which leads to such accidents.

"Referee, I give up..."

Rino covered her face and whispered, she was so embarrassed in public that she just wanted to find a hole in the ground to crawl into.

After taking back the shuttlecock cotton, she left as if escaping.

The referee then announced that Kapok Ball won, and Feng was the first player to be among the top 16 in the "Freshman Cup".

Feng looked at Rino's back and couldn't help shaking his head.

Being a trainer is not just about training. It is also very important to understand the inner thoughts of Pokémon and guide them.

For example, since the shuttlecock flower likes the cotton ball, as its trainer, you should guide it to train more and become stronger, and conquer others with its strength, instead of licking it all day long and then being fooled around.

This is what we did to Xianla Feng. Although the methods were slightly different, the effect was obvious. Now it has developed a good habit of self-training.

Feng naturally played an indispensable role in this.

……

After the game, Feng did not stay to watch, but went straight to the library to look for relevant knowledge about promotion to the library owner level.

The direct improvement of strength comes first, and Feng is very anxious about this.

Today is Sunday and there are many people in the library. Students come here to enjoy the school's high-quality resources.

The library is divided into two areas, one is the free reading area on the lower level, and the other is the area on the upper level where you need to pay for tuition. There are many books and knowledge that are not available on the market, some of which can be regarded as knowledge passed down from generation to generation in a large family.

After entering the library, Feng not only collected a stack of relevant books in the free area, but also spent hundreds of academic points to borrow several precious books from the upper floors of the library. It can be said that he spent a lot of money.

"Boom"

Feng piled the books on the table, made himself a cup of coffee, and began a "battle" that would last the entire afternoon or even the entire night.

Reading is boring, but learning knowledge is a necessary process.

Different books describe various knowledge modules, which are scattered and messy and need to be understood and pieced together.

After reading one book after another and constantly sorting out the knowledge in them, Feng gradually understood the principles of upgrading.

First of all, upgrading will bring comprehensive attribute improvements to Pokémon, but this change does not come out of thin air, but requires the absorption of sufficient energy support.

Just like if people want to develop, nutrients such as protein are essential.

The same is true for evolution.

Some Pokémon require evolution stones to evolve, but that doesn't mean they can't evolve without them. Otherwise, where do all those wild Pokémon come from?

Therefore, theoretically speaking, evolution can be achieved through slow accumulation, but it will take a long time.

These items simply provide enough energy to help Pokémon save the process of accumulation and speed up their evolution.

The higher the level, the more energy is required to upgrade.

For example, upgrades below the elite level require less energy, so you only need to absorb energy blocks and food every day to provide energy, and you can grow quickly without additional supplements.

But it’s different from the gym leader level and above. Every major level upgrade thereafter is a qualitative change in the Pokémon’s strength, representing a comprehensive improvement in all stats.

Therefore, normal diet is difficult to support the needs of upgrading. When breaking through the level, expensive materials with higher attribute energy content are needed, which are often obtained from some rare materials or higher-level Pokémon.

If one wants to digest the energy of these materials and turn it into one's own strength, one needs to gain experience through combat.

After reading Huan Yao's notes, Feng guessed based on the description above that the Shield Sword Monster absorbed souls, which was equivalent to gaining a large amount of experience points. It was somewhat similar to the item Magic Candy, but it lacked energy.

So Feng needs to find some materials to supplement it.

According to the book, you need materials from Steel-type and Ghost-type Pokémon that are at least gym leader level or above, or some high-concentration ores and other items.

"I have to go out and do some shopping..."

Feng climbed up from the pile of books and rubbed his sore eyes.

It was getting late, but not yet late at night, and the Union Store and the department store in Zhuqing City were still open.

"勃~"

Xianla, who had been dozing off next to Feng, woke up when he heard the noise and gently pulled Feng's clothes with his paws.

"What's wrong, Xuanla?"

"accustomed to!"

Xianla pointed at her belly with a pitiful expression.

"Cotton~"

Kapok Ball also came over and called out, saying that today's series of games made it a little hungry.

"Oh, right, we haven't eaten yet." Feng slapped his forehead, thinking he was too engrossed in studying. "Let's go, let's go out and grab a bite to eat. I'll make you something delicious after we buy the ingredients."

After leaving school, Feng took Xianla and Mumianqiu to a restaurant and ordered some food.

According to the preferences of the two Pokémon, Feng ordered an eel rice for Xianla and some corn and salad for Kapok, and watched them eat voraciously.

At this time, the TV in the store started broadcasting today's celebratory news.

Where did the mayor go again? What instructions did he give? What gossip did this Pokémon star have with whom? How much did Zhuqing City's per capita income increase?

Most of the news was no different from usual, but one of them caught Feng's attention because it was related to him.

The dignified and elegant female host on TV was explaining today's news in an orderly manner according to the screen. It was the abandoned factory that Feng blew up today. Judging from the pictures, it was a horrible sight.

"This morning, in an abandoned warehouse on the outskirts of Zhuqing City, Miss Junsha and the city's search officers launched an operation to capture criminals."

"Although this operation resulted in the heroic sacrifice of several police officers and investigators, it also successfully killed the criminal, eliminating a major safety risk to residents."

"Ms. Junsha pointed out that combating evil forces and ensuring the safety of citizens is the duty of all police officers."

"The captain of the investigation team in charge of the operation mentioned in an interview..."

……

"Let us pay tribute to Miss Junsha and the fallen police officers and investigators! Thank you for your contributions!"

After reading the news, Feng had only one thought in his mind: "I was shot dead?"
