The Champion emerges, Fang Yuan makes a comeback in singles!
The 2016~2017 Su province Rookie King is born!
Emerging from an obscure high school ranked far beyond the top ten, the New Trainer crushed his way through the competition, finally defeating the captain of the Hot favorite from Nan University Middle School team, and some people still haven't recovered.
"Does anyone know what the deal was with that final Shadow Ball?"
"There's an analysis of the battle, it's said to be related to the Substitute Technique!"
"Who knew Eevee could be so strong, what more after it evolves??"
"I've got two months left before I can become a New Trainer, time to stock up on Eevees!"
"The guy above, following the trend is a must-try."
Besides having to put a bit more thought into the battle with Jiang Ran, no other New Trainer could last more than a minute against Fang Yuan and Eevee.
The title of Su province's Rookie King isn't going anywhere.
The Jinling Trainer Association's New Trainer rankings were rewritten directly after the competition ended, with Fang Yuan replacing Jiang Ran as number one.
Su province seems keen to continue the tradition of this high school league, but as the champion of the first ever competition, Fang Yuan's name is destined to be talked about by the underclassmen for years to come.
...
"Don't rush!"
After returning to the players' room, Fang Yuan held out his hand, stopping his classmates who were about to embrace him.
Especially you, Liu Le, can you stay away?
Can't you be as reserved as the girls?
Speaking of which, why are the girls so reserved?
Fang Yuan asked himself three questions in a row, then turned his head to look at Zhuang Xin, Director Wu, Teacher Bai Ning, and others.
"Not bad."
"Very much like my younger days."
"All is fair in war, winning is what matters."
The three congratulated him, and Fang Yuan beamed with happiness, but what he wanted to hear was not this. He was eager to know how much of the prize money and whether there were any additional scholarships he could get!
In any case, he and Eevee had fought and sweated for Pingcheng and Pingcheng No.1 Middle School.
In order to analyze Jiang Ran's battling habits, they had watched Jiang Ran's battle videos dozens of times and designed six scenarios that would allow for the use of the Spiral Shadow Ball.
The time and effort they had invested... were beyond the comprehension of ordinary people!
Luckily, Fang Yuan and Eevee didn't need to rehearse. Once they entered the scene, their performance was natural and perfect, deserving of an Oscar statuette.
...
After making a call, Fang Yuan also found his dad and mom who had come to the scene.
As a child, Fang Yuan had always chanted about wanting to become a Trainer, wanting a Pokemon.
Father Fang and Mother Fang felt that if other children could have it, why not their own? So, they scrimped and saved to gather enough money for Fang Yuan to become a Trainer.
But life is just so unpredictable.
Their son really did go further and further on the path of being a Trainer.
Fang Yuan had won the Little Phoenix King Cup, and they were delighted.
Fang Yuan had stayed in the hospital with Eevee because of Trainer's duties, and they were worried.
Now, Fang Yuan had become the Champion in such a grand competition, Father Fang and Mother Fang were filled with mixed emotions.
They didn't know whether letting Fang Yuan become a Trainer was right or wrong, although now Fang Yuan had made a name for himself, grown up, and could even win a million in prize money. But Father Fang and Mother Fang truly hoped that Fang Yuan and Eevee could live happily and safely, doing what they wanted to do, which was what mattered most.
...
On April 26, 2017, the Su province High School Pokemon Battle League officially came to a close.
The team battle champion was Nanjiang University Affiliated Middle School.
And the singles Champion was Fang Yuan from Pingcheng No.1 Middle School.
The singles Champion's prize money, one million.
After the award ceremony and closing ceremony, Fang Yuan, who stayed in the players' village, was busy calculating his bank savings.
```
The individual competition offers a prize of one million, and the team competition for Pingcheng No.1 Middle School has a prize of four million. Although it is not as much as the neighboring eSports competitions, it is still quite a sum.
How much of the four million prize money from the team competition could I get?
"After this competition, my net worth has hit seven figures. Counting my previous savings... that would be about... twenty million or so?"
Good... I could buy a pretty nice apartment in Pingcheng with that.
If I used it for nurturing Pokemon, I'd also have the capacity to capture more Pokemon.
At least after entering the university, I wouldn't have to worry about the issue of resources for a while.
"Bwoo bwoo~~"
On the bed, Eevee also held a phone, bringing up the calculator and giggling as it calculated the QQ Coins it won from betting.
As for the use of the prize money, Eevee had a lot of confidence in Fang Yuan. Before, Fang Yuan even scrimped and saved, pouring almost all his money into it.
Now, with so much prize money, it would definitely get to enjoy itself.
"Cha~~"
Out of boredom, Eevee yawned. This competition had been much easier than it expected. Aside from the team battle being tough to carry, the other battles hadn't posed much pressure.
"Eevee, you're getting cocky again."
"Bwoo??" Eevee immediately stood up, its eyes widening as it looked at Fang Yuan.
I've become the champion. Can't I be a bit cocky?
Could it be...
Fang Yuan took out a pen and a piece of paper, placing them in front of Eevee and began doodling as he explained:
"Hua Nation includes 23 provinces, 5 autonomous regions, 4 municipalities, and 2 special administrative regions. We are only the number one New Trainer in Su province."
"..." Eevee.
"And there are more than two hundred countries and territories in the world..."
"Look, this dot is us, so you see, we still have a long way to go."
"Are you ready for the new special training?"
"Bwoo!" Eevee pushed the pen away, saying, "Bwoo bwoo bwoo."
It believed that Fang Yuan's focus at the moment should be on training the Little Magnetic Monster, rather than letting it shoulder everything.
For this, it willingly offered some of its resources to the Little Magnetic Monster so that Fang Yuan could properly train it.
All Pokemon are amazing, but you as the Trainer are truly remarkable.
"You make... some sense," Fang Yuan pondered.
"Then let the Little Magnetic Monster take on your share of the work as well."
"Bwoo." Eevee breathed a sigh of relief, but the next moment, it felt something was off.
That line, why does it sound like I'm about to be laid off?
…
"Fang Yuan, there's a new arrangement in the provincial capital, and after we return to Pingcheng, you'll have to stay behind."
"Not just you, the top twenty-two on the New Trainer list will stay in Jinling. You'll be joining the Professional Trainers on a trip to a certain place."
That day, as soon as Zhuang Xin received the news from the Jinling Trainer Association, he immediately relayed the information to Fang Yuan.
The top twenty-two on the list included the sixteen New Trainers who participated in the main competition, plus six others.
Fang Yuan did not know what it was about, so he asked Zhuang Xin, "Stay in Jinling? And to do what exactly?"
"You'll be getting early exposure to a secret location," Zhuang Xin said.
Then she glanced at Fang Yuan, "Of course, it'll be your second time."
On the surface, the provincial high school Pokemon battle league was to respond to the nation's call to "foster excellent Trainers and pay attention to the basic education of novices", but in fact, every Professional Trainer knew that in the next few years, a special Large Secret Realm would descend upon Su province.
After prior exploration by vanguard troops, this secret location was found to be extremely rich in resources, with unknown new types of resources as well.
However, what made this secret location special was the presence of three terrifying legendary creatures within it. Ordinary Professional Trainers faced with them alone would stand no chance.
Besides, there were also a lot of powerful Overlord Spirits.
Opportunity and danger existed side by side.
