Pokémon: Master Pokémon has a fish-frying system.

The eye contact between Lu An and the Pokémon only lasted for a very short time.

So much so that when Lu An began to question his existence, his companions, including Imai, were still unaware of what had happened.

"Lu An, how did you accidentally open all your Poké Balls?"

Arima looked at the four Pokémon beside Lu An, his eyes sparkling.

Look at the Volcarona that defeated him, look at the ferocious Eevee, and look at the burly Swampert.

These aren't just Pokémon of different shapes and sizes, are they?

This is clearly a winning hand in itself.

If we can bring these Pokémon to the Red and Green Cups, how can we not dominate and win the championship?

With such a good man in front of him, if he still cares about saving face, he might as well just resign!

Arima dashed to Riku's side and grasped his hands tightly:

"Lu An, young friend Lu An, brother Lu An, join our school team! Our school team needs someone with your talent! I'm willing to pay any price for you!"

Lu An, who was still racking his brains about how to turn back, suddenly brightened up.

As expected of Coach Arima, only those who are willing to sacrifice their pride can achieve great things.

Lu An gripped Arima's iron hand tightly, his eyes filled with emotion:

"Coach Arima, your persistence has moved me. I've made up my mind. I want to join the school team and contribute to the development of Golden University!"

"But I have a lot of things to do, so can I skip the regular training?"

Arima paused for a moment.

He hadn't expected Lu An, who had initially refused so sternly, to change his mind so quickly; it seemed his sincerity had moved him.

Training was nothing to Lu An, who was even more formidable than him.

"It's alright, your willingness to join the school team is already an honor for the team!"

[Ding! Mission complete]

After overcoming numerous challenges, you earned the approval of the Golden University varsity team coach through your hard work and ultimately joined the Golden University varsity team.

[Take this leap, and the world will be yours; rise from the ashes to become king!]

The task "Join the University Team" has been completed, and the reward has been issued.

"Brother Lu An!"

"Coach Arima!"

"Brother Lu An!"

"Coach Arima!"

Nearby, the other three roommates from room 438, as well as Ningren, a member of the school team, looked at each other in bewilderment.

"Well, although things turned out a bit strange, the outcome was ultimately good, right?"

A hint of envy flashed in Muto's eyes:

"By the way, Ningren, why does Teacher Ma insist on dragging Lu An into the school team?"

Ningren smiled slightly and did not answer him:

"Muto, speaking of which, your Blastoise and Pidgeot are already high-level elites, right? I think you have a very good chance of being selected for the school team this time."

The development of the university's sports teams is mainly divided into two levels.

The first batch is undoubtedly the trainers who will participate in the Red and Green Cups, while the second batch is talent development, namely the reserve force.

When trainers who have participated in the Red and Green Cups graduate or leave school to make their way in the world, the reserves will take over the first batch.

As an elite trainer, Muto hopes to make it into the second tier of the school team.

After recruiting Lu An into the school team, Arima took Ningren and Mutou back to the training hall to prepare for the afternoon's school team recruitment test.

Out of curiosity, Gang Jiefei dragged Lu An and Imai along, saying he wanted to see the school team's selection process.

Since it was still early, Muto became the first trainer to be tested that afternoon.

Muto's opponent was Ningren, a professional-level fighter.

"Eevee, Spirit Breaker!"

"Blastoise, hatch and escape! Then Turbidity!"

Arima, who was watching the game, couldn't help but nod.

If at the beginning he was still hoping to please Lu An, and even if Muto's strength was a little weaker, he could still recruit Muto into the school team, then at this moment he truly acknowledged Muto's fighting ability.

Using "shell hatching" to escape Espeon's control over Blastoise is a very ingenious idea.

If you're not skilled in battle and have enough confidence in your Pokémon, you won't be able to use this move in time during an intense battle.

Then Muto's Ōhitori engaged in a fierce battle with Neito's cunning tengu.

Although Muto ultimately lost both matches, he still received high praise from Arima.

Even Lu An nodded.

His roommate is quite capable.

As fellow members of the same battling club, if Kawamura had engaged in aerial combat with Muto back then, it's likely that his crow's head would have been shot down by Muto's Pidgeot within five moves.

"Congratulations on joining the school team, Muto."

"Thank you."

Faced with his roommates' congratulations, Muto was so excited that his face turned red.

After an afternoon of testing and selection, Arima finally selected five new team members, including Lu An, and informed them of all the details regarding the team.

After successfully making it onto the school team, Muto was so excited that he couldn't sleep. He got up early the next day to participate in the school team's training.

Lu An, along with his Pokémon partners who had absolutely no chemistry, slept until nine o'clock before finally getting up from the spacious bed in the villa, yawning all the while.

It wasn't that Lu An was going to participate in the school team training; after obtaining the blue gem, Lu An lost interest in school team matters.

He got up early today simply because Huizi sent him a message yesterday reminding him not to forget to take the professional midterm exam.

Yes, after the Hoenn journey and after skipping classes for many days after returning to school, Lu An finally faced his midterm exams.

Although he only came to university to enjoy himself for a while and didn't really intend to learn anything there, he still couldn't skip the midterm exams.

Inside the teaching building, Lu An hadn't seen the freckled girl for a long time, but she still seemed to be full of youthful energy.

"Lu An, how long have you been skipping class!"

Looking at the coquettish girl in front of him, Lu An chuckled:

"One, two, three, it seems like there are only a few days left."

Huizi wrinkled her little nose:

"The written exam is coming up soon, and there's a practical test this afternoon. You've been skipping classes for so many days, are you really sure you're okay?"

Lu An waved his hand casually:

"Don't worry, I've already looked at the assessment requirements for our major. The coursework score accounts for 0.4, the assessment score accounts for 0.6, and a total score of 60 is required to pass."

"In other words, if I can get a score of 34 or above, all the rest is up to the teacher to help me out, provided I get the highest marks for participation."

Suddenly, Keiko's expression turned somewhat fearful.

"Hmph, Lu An, is it?"

Lu An, who had been looking completely indifferent, suddenly froze.

Looking back, he saw an elderly man with two tear troughs on his face looking at him with displeasure.

"Lu An, I'll remember you. You're quite quick-witted. How about you calculate another set of data?"

"If I give you a 0 for participation, how many points do you need to get on the exam to avoid failing?"
