Chapter 925: Chapter 775: Heartstream Hemai_1
As New Trainers' Day approached, the vast majority of prospective New Trainers had made their preparations to visit the breeding house to receive their Beginner Spirits.
After that, ordinary New Trainers would routinely attend school, wait for the college entrance examination, slowly accumulate experience, and wait for opportunities.
New Trainers with some connections would find a good teacher to learn from Professional Trainers and Master Trainers' Moves Secret Books, getting a jumpstart on their journey.
For He Xiaomai, she originally couldn't become a Trainer, but that changed because of Fang Yuan's influence on her life trajectory.
On a beach in the Coastal Sea Area of Binhai City, dressed in the same red and white sports outfit as Fang Yuan, wearing a red cap, and with her single ponytail visible outside, the blind girl He Xiaomai approached the sea step by step, accompanied by her Guide-Duck Blind Spirit.
Although with her current mastery of the Wave Guide, she could investigate her surroundings using the power of the Wave Guide even without the assistance of a Guide Pokemon, she still preferred having the Golduck by her side.
As for where the clothes came from, of course, He Xiaomai bought them from an online store. It was the battle uniform worn by the world champion Fang Yuan, available for just 198, and could be delivered right to her home.
This outfit sold in terrifying quantities – just walk into any battle arena, and you would see several Trainers wearing similar outfits... such was Fang Yuan's current influence.
"Teacher,"
He Xiaomai had walked all the way to find Fang Yuan, who was sitting by the sea, leisurely fishing with a rod.
The two had agreed to meet in Binhai City and then head to the Temple of the Sea together.
Fang Yuan had been waiting here for a while now.
He Xiaomai looked around and saw that besides Fang Yuan, who was fishing quietly and intently, on the other side, an Eevee was teaching a Rock Puppy how to build sand castles.
"Got a bite."
During the fishing, Fang Yuan didn't respond to He Xiaomai and remained engrossed in the fishing game. As the rod shook, Fang Yuan smiled and began to reel in with effort.
Boom!!
The next second, the sea churned, and a six-meter-tall Spirit resembling a fierce dragon was pulled out of the water.
"???"
Seeing this, He Xiaomai was slightly stunned. How could a fishing rod catch a Pokémon World??
"Roar!!!"
The fished out Pokémon World had rage burning in its eyes and Destruction Dead Light gathering in its mouth.
However, suddenly, the rod that had pulled it up burst into light, transformed into an Electric Shock gun, and with a sizzling shot, the Pokémon World was knocked down.
"..." He Xiaomai.
What on earth was happening?
A moment later, as the Pokémon World twitched and regained consciousness, it showed an expression of terror and quickly turned and fled.
"Have you arrived?"
As the Pokémon World ran off, Fang Yuan stretched and turned towards He Xiaomai.
"Fishing is a skill that every Trainer must master."
"Do you know why that is?"
"To capture Water-type Spirits...?" He Xiaomai answered.
Fang Yuan smiled. Correct, those of lower realms fish Magikarp; when one reaches Dacheng, they can fish Kyogre...
"No, it's to help Trainers hone their reflexes, patience, and judgment."
A moment later, He Xiaomai, thinking back to Fang Yuan's concentration, had an epiphany and spoke up, adding.
Right, that was the truth.
Fang Yuan smiled again. Girl, you're overthinking it...
"No, that's not right..."
Feeling the meaningful smile on Fang Yuan's face through the Wave Guide, He Xiaomai was taken aback. Still not right, not only that, perhaps this process could also be used to train the power of the Wave Guide, Physical Strength?
That must be the reason Fang Yuan was able to catch the Pokémon World, right?
To investigate the environment using Wave Guide, to attract powerful Spirits, and Fang Yuan, who had enough strength to pull up the Pokémon World, how strong must he be??
Is this the real truth...
"Still not right." Suddenly, He Xiaomai fully realized the gap between her and Fang Yuan.
No no no, there's an even deeper meaning.
Right, that fishing rod, the rod was transformed by Ditto!
In this process, Fang Yuan was also training his Spirit's Moves.
A simple act of fishing could contain so many meanings?
He Xiaomai was in awe.
Is this the power of the world champion, her own teacher... every action filled with countless intentions.
"Teacher, I understand,"
He Xiaomai took a deep breath. It seemed she still had much to learn from Fang Yuan.
Although Fang Yuan was only a few years older than her, at this moment, she could clearly feel the gap between herself and Fang Yuan!
Even though she had put in a lot of effort to become a Trainer, the gap still seemed very large.
What do you understand??
Mumbles went through Fang Yuan's mind.
Of course, Fang Yuan wouldn't tell He Xiaomai that he was leveling up a Spirit egg, so the matter was dropped.
After recalling Ditto back into its Poké Ball from its Electric Shock gun form, Fang Yuan looked at He Xiaomai and praised her, "Your progress this year has surprised me."
A year ago, when they parted ways, Fang Yuan had given He Xiaomai a Rotom phone.
Moreover, he had set learning and teaching tasks for that Rotom through his own Rotom phone.
In essence, Fang Yuan had indirectly given He Xiaomai over a year of online classes.
The online classes over the past year were roughly aimed at helping He Xiaomai master some knowledge required by Trainers.
However, the complexity of the knowledge she needed to learn covered many aspects including training, cultivation, medical care, Pokémon common sense, geography, history, and more; it was very difficult for even a Mo Da genius to master it all.
However.
Perhaps because of the unique talent of being a Wave-guide Messenger, He Xiaomai's learning speed was very fast.
Even though her foundation was weak, she had still completed all the learning tasks Fang Yuan set for her within the year.
So, while He Xiaomai may be blind, her wealth of knowledge now certainly did not fall short of most experienced Professional Trainers.
At the same time, Fang Yuan also turned his attention to her Golduck.
A Guide Pokémon, which now also possessed considerable spiritual power, was nearly at Senior Level strength; it seemed He Xiaomai had not neglected training it this past year.
Such a student is truly worry-free.
Fang Yuan finally understood why teachers always favor Study Tyrants; there really is reason behind it - it's so much easier to teach them.
"It's all thanks to Teacher Rotom," He Xiaomai expressed her gratitude to Fang Yuan. Although now she could see things through her Wave Guide, without an excellent teacher like Rotom, her learning speed would definitely not have been this fast.
"Alright, next, I'll take you to find a Beginner Elf that resonates with your Wave Guide."
Fang Yuan looked out to the sea, calculating the time; the Prince of the Sea should be arriving soon, right?
......
While waiting for the Prince of the Sea, Fang Yuan and He Xiaomai engaged in conversation.
And Eevee was still there, teaching Rock Puppy how to build a sand castle.
Eevee was about to explode with frustration; it had never seen such a dumb Rock Species Fairy.
Initially, it learned the Sand Splash by delicately controlling the sand while building sand castles, whereas Rock Puppy already knew Sand Splash, but the sand castles it built looked as though they had been blasted by a missile, a sorry sight to behold.
The Rock Puppy might have strong power talents, but its control was unexpectedly poor.
Compared to building sand castles, it might be better equipped for demolishing them.
"You want to participate in the next Pokémon World?"
During their conversation, Fang Yuan learned of He Xiaomai's dream to participate in the Pokémon World at the age of 20 just like him, and his face showed a thoughtful expression.
"Yes, I want to give it a try, even being a substitute would be fine," He Xiaomai stated firmly.
"Substitute..." Fang Yuan mused inwardly, wondering if countries had changed their perception of substitute members after he participated in the Pokémon World.
"I support you, but if your aim is that stage, the next four years will be tough," Fang Yuan smiled.
With four years time, Fang Yuan had no doubt that in the next Pokémon World, each country would have someone like the Fire God Gura.
By then, powers like Mega Evolution might have been mastered by top young talents.
With the arrival of the third wave of Trainers, the next Pokémon World was destined to be Hell Difficulty.
Under such circumstances, for He Xiaomai to follow the same path as him was too difficult.
He too had relied on the advantages of Energy Blocks, Wave Guide, Mega Evolution, and Z-Move to grow so quickly.
And moving forward, compared to others, He Xiaomai only had the advantage of the Wave Guide.
However, He Xiaomai was his apprentice after all, and it wasn't impossible for her to compete against those people.
Main team might not work, but there was still hope for a substitute; Fang Yuan was confident, but that confidence depended on what good things the Prince of the Sea brought.
"Senior year, achieve the honor of Rookie King of the province, freshman year, possess the strength to sweep the Emperor Capital University Team, sophomore year, have the power to dominate Masters - these are the basic requirements."
Fang Yuan shared his own experiences with He Xiaomai as a point of reference, which meant if she wanted to participate in the Pokémon World four years later, she should first become the Rookie King of Qin Province and then sweep through Emperor Capital University.
But that wasn't the most important thing; the key was not to grow by following a set path, but to learn to frequently skip classes and rendezvous with Legendary Pokémon, allowing rapid improvement of one's abilities.
Since the Prince of the Sea was looking out for He Xiaomai, Fang Yuan shouldn't have to worry about this.
"I... I understand," He Xiaomai nodded, continuing to mutter about sweeping the Emperor Capital University after the teaching session with Fang Yuan...
