Pokémon: Master Pokémon has a fish-frying system.

Arima hasn't been having a good time lately.

Miss Nazja visited Golden University last time and expressed her dissatisfaction with his team's performance.

Although she didn't punish him on the spot, her intentions, both overt and covert, were quite clear:

If you can't get Golden University to win the Red-Green Cup this time, then you should quit being a coach.

Therefore, Arima is now like Sisyphus in a certain regional myth, having to push the stone called "pressure" to the top of the mountain every day before he dares to close his eyes and rest.

But every time he wakes up the next day, he finds that the stone called "pressure" has returned to its starting point, forcing him to keep pushing it forward.

This constant pressure caused Arima to lose over ten kilograms in just a few days, making him almost unrecognizable.

Thanks to this pressure, the school team's training volume has increased significantly compared to the past, and the team members are complaining every day.

But Arima acted like a tyrant, ignoring the cries of the school team members.

He suffers alone, and his suffering level is 100.

However, when this 100% hardship is passed on to the team members, each person's hardship becomes only in the double digits, or even the single digits.

Therefore, it is inevitable that the school team members will make some sacrifices.

After all, this is all for their own good, and they will be grateful to you for your hard work today in the future.

Not only that, Arima has also put the recruitment of new members for the school team on the agenda, and he has recently started looking for new promising talents at Golden University.

As a club closely associated with the Golden University team, the Battle Club has a large following—a vast number of club members.

It has always been a practice to look for new team members within the battle club.

As a member of the school team and also the president of the battle club, Ningren unsurprisingly took on the responsibility of assisting Arima in finding promising young players.

"Sigh, it seems like this year's cohort doesn't have many good students..."

Arima sat in the stands at the training ground and crossed out yet another student's name from the waiting list.

Today he has already given tryouts to more than a dozen students who are interested in joining the school team, but these students are either just average or they are only playing with enthusiasm. Almost none of them have impressed him.

Just as Arima was having a headache over himself, the school team, and Golden University, the president of the battle club, Neito, quietly approached him.

"Coach, actually, there's someone you'd like to consider."

Arima glanced at the bald man next to him.

Since returning from the Hoenn region, Ningren has seemed to have had a breakthrough, making rapid progress. Arima, who has been under a lot of pressure lately, is quite satisfied with this kid.

"Who is it? Tell us."

Ningren winked:

"Coach, do you remember, cough cough, Lu An, the Volcarona trainer from a couple of days ago?"

Upon hearing Ningren's words, Arima's already not-so-pleasant face immediately turned as black as charcoal.

Can he forget?

Miss Naz brought a pretty boy to Golden University and went straight to the point, forcing him to duel the pretty boy on stage.

He originally thought that even if he couldn't beat the young and famous Naz, he could easily handle an unknown pretty boy.

To everyone's surprise, even though he had secretly equipped Duraludon with an Evolution Stone, he still couldn't defeat the opponent's Volcarona. The opponent unleashed a series of powerful attacks, forcing Arima to admit defeat.

Although Arima admitted that the other party was indeed much stronger than him, what was Neito trying to do by bringing him up at this time?

Seeing Coach Arima's dark expression, as if saying "If you can't give me a straight answer, you're finished," Ning Ren didn't dare to be negligent and quickly replied:

"Coach, that Lu An is a student from our school! You could totally recruit him into our school team!"

Arima was taken aback at first upon hearing Ningren's words, but quickly came to his senses.

Yup!

If I remember correctly, when Sabrina made the bet with him, she mentioned that the little white, no, the powerful trainer, was a student from the main campus of Goldenrod University.

Although he sided with Sabrina at the time, he beat Sabrina's aluminum dragon to a pulp.

However, when he lost the bet and was preparing to resign, Lu An took the initiative to tell him about the favors left in Na Zi's bet, which allowed him to keep his coaching position.

Therefore, although he had mixed feelings, he was still very grateful to Lu An.

Moreover, his strength is indeed undeniable; he was able to defeat his Duraludon in just a few moves with a Volcarona.

If they can recruit Lu An into the team, their chances of winning the Red and Green Cup this year will increase significantly.

Arima, thinking of this, glanced sideways at the bald man:

"That person disappeared after that day, right? He didn't show up when the school team was recruiting. Do you have any way to find him?"

Ningren scratched his head and chuckled:

"Coach, isn't it a coincidence? My sister and I have both met him, and he happens to be the roommate of one of our club members."

Arima's eyes lit up; this was great!

"Then contact that member of your club and ask him if he'd like to join our school team!"

Arima paused, saying:

"No, that's not right. I have to go to him in person and invite him to join us. That way, it will show more sincerity."

"Quickly, Ningren, take me to see your commune members."

Arima thought about it and realized it made more and more sense. He quickly pushed Ningren, wishing he could meet Lu An right now.

Ning Ren pointed to the group of people preparing to participate in the school team test, a slight smile on his face:

"Coach, my club members are preparing to join the school team and they're in line."

......

It was against this backdrop that Arima went straight to Muto, who was in line waiting for a match test.

Muto looked at the Golden University team coach in front of him, feeling somewhat bewildered and awkward.

Arima, who was once a school team coach, also shone brightly in the Red and Green Cups and is now a gym-level trainer.

Although his strength is relatively weak among dojo-level players, it is still a towering figure to Muto, who is only at the elite level.

He didn't know why Arima had suddenly bypassed everyone else and come to him.

Muto didn't believe that Arima had approached him because he saw the Conqueror's Haki surrounding him or because he had a Stand user behind him.

"I heard you're Lu An's roommate?"

Arima went straight to the point.

Beside Arima, Neito was giving Muto a meaningful look.

Muto, who was initially a little uneasy, suddenly realized what was going on after seeing Ningren's expression.

So they came for Lu An!

Ningren's younger sister, Naoko, is the vice president of the fighting club and witnessed Lu An's battle against Kawamura when the club was recruiting new members.

She had very high expectations for Lu An's abilities and was determined to recruit him into the school's combat club. She even believed that with proper training, he had the potential to join the school team.

In retrospect, it seems that Naoko told her brother about Lu An?
