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

After class, Feng went to find Teacher Liangzi.

"I remember, it should be this one."

As the footsteps echoed in the corridor of the teaching building, he arrived at the door of the office.

The door was made of wood with a piece of frosted glass inlaid on it, through which the faint sunlight inside the office could be seen.

Feng knocked on the door and immediately received a response of "Come in".

When you open the door, the first thing that catches your eye is a spacious desk with a computer, folders and some teaching materials neatly arranged on it.

In one corner of the office stands a bookshelf filled with various educational books and reference materials, the golden titles on the spines gleaming in the sunlight.

"Love~"

A Pokémon next to the bookshelf saw Feng come in, so he pushed a book back onto the shelf, then squinted his eyes and smiled as he greeted Feng and his two Pokémon.

"Ma-chan~"

Ma'la took a few steps towards the bookshelf curiously, as if she thought the golden book was very beautiful.

The owner of the office, Teacher Ryoko, was standing by the window, watering several pots of trumpet sprouts on the windowsill with a kettle.

They appear vibrant under the sunlight, with green leaves and slender stems swaying gently in the breeze, bringing a touch of nature to the office.

"Wind~"

The wind fairy became interested after seeing this, and playfully flew to an empty flowerpot on the windowsill, imitating the appearance of a trumpet bud, closing his eyes and enjoying the sunshine and watering.

"It's Aoki-san, what's going on?"

Seeing Feng coming in, Teacher Ryoko put the kettle on the windowsill and walked towards Feng with a gentle smile.

"Sorry to bother you, Teacher Ryoko, I need your help with something..."

Feng then told them his question about the Pokémon food, and added, "It doesn't matter if the price is a little higher. The main thing is that Yueyue Bear is already at the level of a gym leader, and needs corresponding food."

"Food? Well, I know a few people who can cultivate it..."

As soon as Teacher Ryoko heard the request for the elves' food, she started talking to herself.

Then, she was suddenly stunned before she reacted and said in surprise: "Wait, you mean, you actually have a gym leader-level Pokémon?!"

how can that be!

She herself is only a gym leader-level trainer, and her progress is considered fast among people of the same age.

When did her students all have gym leader-level Pokémon?

You have to know that countless Pokémon are stuck from the elite level to the gym leader level, causing most trainers to stop at the elite level.

Expensive items like the attribute pure crystals needed for promotion or materials from Pokémon are secondary. Ordinary elite trainers can still collect them if they save up.

Most of the reasons lie in qualifications.

The lower the aptitude, the lower the efficiency of energy absorption and conversion, and no matter how many battles you fight, it will be of no use.

It's like a tortoise racing with a hare. Although it can get a slight lead when the hare is asleep, it will be overtaken immediately by the hare as soon as the hare wakes up, and even left far behind.

Even if one's qualifications are at the level of a museum owner, it is difficult to fully realize one's potential. It requires time to accumulate and upgrade little by little, which usually takes several years or even more than ten years.

Only those with the qualifications of Quasi-King or above can upgrade all the way relatively easily. Once you enter this level, the higher the qualifications, the lower the difficulty.

Another small part of the reason is that the Pokémon food is adapted to Pokémon. Feeding them with energy food that is most suitable for them and easiest to "digest" can also speed up their growth.

……

"Yes, teacher."

Hearing what Liangzi said, Feng explained frankly without any hesitation, "When I subdued this guy, its level was considered very high among the elite levels."

Feng's Lunar Bear had accumulated several years of experience before he subdued it, so he was able to reach the gym leader level not long after. Unlike Gyarados, who Feng raised all the way and is still stuck at the elite level, far from the threshold.

"That's it."

Teacher Ryoko suddenly realized something, and then she suddenly remembered something, and her expression became serious: "Mr. Aoki, you have to know that if the trainer's level is not high enough, the Pokémon will not obey, and may even attack the trainer."

Pokémon and their trainers are actually equal in status, not in a master-servant relationship.

If a Pokémon feels that its trainer is not worthy of commanding it, it may leave on its own at best, or kill the trainer and then leave at worst. Both of these are possible.

This is exactly what Ryoko was worried about. A Pokémon like Ursagi, which is known for its ferocity, would never obey the orders of the gentle and well-behaved little boy in front of her.

"It seems... it has always been very obedient."

Feng scratched his head and said.

In my impression, Yueyue Xiong always looks honest and simple in front of him, and does what he says. She is much better than a "rebellious girl" like Malanla.

"That... means your bond is still very strong."

Teacher Ryoko finally attributed the reason to the bond. She thought for a moment and said, "As for the matter of the high-level cultivators you mentioned, I'll ask for you and let you know when I have any news."

"Thank you, teacher!" Feng said gratefully.

"You're welcome. Come to see the teacher more often if you have any problems in the future."

Teacher Liangzi reached out and touched Feng's head, and said very kindly.

"By the way, since you already have gym leader-level Pokémon, there's a teacher's competition at school tomorrow. Do you want to try it out?"

Teacher Liangzi winked at Feng and said, "It's not a formal competition, just some teachers competing for fun. I will also participate."

The battle fanatics in the trainer school are not only the students, but even the teachers in each class are very keen on fighting. Therefore, such small-scale competitions are very popular and there is one every few days.

Of course, there are no students as spectators in this kind of competition to avoid embarrassment for the losing teachers.

"Ah, me? Wouldn't it be inappropriate for me, a student, to go there?"

This time it was Feng's turn to be surprised. He hadn't figured out how he got into the teacher's circle. It was really a bit sudden.

However, this is also an opportunity. The fighting level of these teachers is much higher than that of the students, which can allow Feng to see more exciting tactics and experience the "high-end" battles in the Pokémon world.

"It's okay. Occasionally, there are excellent students who come."

Teacher Ryoko advised, "Otherwise, Moon Bear would be boring without a suitable opponent, wouldn't it?"

"Okay then, teacher."

Feng agreed without much thought.

After expressing his gratitude again, he said goodbye and left the office and went back to class.
