Pokémon Awakening Master

"Battle club?" Lin Tao was surprised, he didn't sign up himself, why did he ask me?

"I have watched your game," Chang Ping explained, "Don't worry, you can think about it slowly. And your partner who uses Zebra, can you give me a message for him too?"

"okay."

After speaking, Chang Ping patted Lin Tao's shoulder gently and walked back to his seat.

Cheng Pu, who was on the side, walked over with Charmander in his arms, "Just now... thank you very much."

"It's okay," Lin Tao shook his head, "Aren't you with Ma Ling?"

"Oh, he signed up at the history club over there." Cheng Pu pointed to a booth not far away, "I'm going to take Charmander to the infirmary. Goodbye."

"Okay." Lin Tao nodded, then looked in the direction Cheng Pu was pointing, "History Club? You are indeed a top student in the research major..."

Taking a closer look, compared to the bustling battle club, this place is really sparse.There is no sign with the name of the club, no introduction to the club or activities, only a piece of paper with the three characters "History Club" written in marker.There was only one pen on the table and a list filled with only one name.The senior who was in charge of recruiting new students even fell asleep on the table.

"Hey, Lin Tao? Why are you here?" Ma Ling came over with a smile, "Are you also interested in the history club?"

"I'll just take a look..." Lin Tao smiled and looked at the list with only one name on the table - as expected, it was Ma Ling.

"Okay..." Ma Ling looked a little regretful, "Don't look at it like this. The History Club of No. [-] Middle School was actually quite famous before..."

"Before?"

"Yes," Ma Ling looked at the senior who was already asleep on the table, shook his head and said, "Before the last president graduated, he was quite famous."

"Have you heard about the supernatural events in Jieshi Mountain in the next county two years ago? The only high school student group that participated in the exploratory investigation was the History Club of No. [-] Middle School."

Lin Tao recalled for a moment, "You mean the time it was said in the news that historical relics were discovered later?"

"Yes!" Ma Ling nodded vigorously, "So the history club did not sit in the room and study like most people think, but often went out for actual inspections!"

"What about now?" Lin Tao asked.

"Now all the club's field trips have been stopped," the senior who was sleeping next to him woke up at some point and said sleepily, "because we don't have the strength of the old president~"

strength?

After questioning later, Lin Tao learned that the senior who was sleeping in a daze was Zhuo Lu, the current president of the history club. He was in his third year of high school. He was so sleepy not because he was busy with studies, but because he was training Pokémon to be too good. Late, lack of sleep.

The old president of the History Club who just graduated last time mentioned by President Zhuo Lu is one of the rare students since the founding of No. [-] Middle School who passed the assessment and was certified as a senior trainer in high school. He is even stronger than the combat majors of all school teams. For a long time, most teachers may not be able to compete.It is because of such talented people that the safety of the history club members during inspections can be ensured, and the school allows them to move freely.

During historical inspections, we occasionally visit some ruins. If we are unlucky enough to encounter a powerful wild Pokémon, we can only ensure safety if we are strong enough.

But in the current History Club, President Zhuo Lu obviously does not have this level for the time being, so he has to train so hard and forget food and sleep.

After learning the truth, Lin Tao actually admired President Zhuo Lu. Coupled with Ma Ling's recommendation, Lin Tao also signed his name on the form after much persuasion.

"Forget it, I won't go out to explore dangerous places for the time being anyway, let's make a name for myself." Lin Tao comforted himself.

During this afternoon walk, Lin Tao didn't meet any clubs that he was particularly interested in. Instead, he received an invitation from the War Club out of nowhere, and he also signed up for the History Club, which had no club activities at the moment. This was considered... a bit Harvested?

……

During self-study in the evening, during the election for class cadres, Lin Tao originally thought that most people would be as uninterested as herself, but she did not expect that the competition would be extremely fierce.

"Wow~ They are all so positive..." Lin Tao couldn't help complaining as he watched his classmates take the stage one by one to give speeches and promote themselves.

After many rounds of competition, the candidates for squad leader finally fell on two people.

One of them was a tall female classmate with short bangs and a dashing appearance. The other was an old acquaintance of Lin Tao, the dragon trainer Qian Zheng.

"Liao Dong, who are you going to vote for?" Lin Tao asked his deskmate.

"No need to ask -" Liao Dong didn't even think about it, "With such a beautiful old girl, who would vote for the pretty boy next to her..."

"..."

It seems that the question is in vain and has no reference value at all.

"What do you think, Panda Boy? Who should be chosen as squad leader?" Lin Tao shook his head and asked his Pokémon.

"Hey?" What is the squad leader?Is it tasty?

The naughty panda responded in a daze.This meeting to select class cadres has been going on for so long that I almost fell asleep.

In fact, according to the discipline taught by Teacher Yang in the morning, medium and large Pokémon larger than one meter are not allowed to attend the theory class with the trainer, unless they stay in the Pokémon ball.

Considering that some Pokémon are resistant to Poké Balls in reality, the school stipulates that Pokémon can be left in dormitories as long as safety is ensured.If safety cannot be ensured, such as fire-type Pokémon that are prone to fire, they can be placed in the school's breeding house.

The naughty panda is the type who doesn't like to enter the Poké Ball. According to the regulations, his size is not over the limit, but after going through this class leader election, he will probably be happy to stay in the dormitory.

It seems that neither my deskmate nor the naughty panda are reliable, so I have to choose by myself.

The female classmate didn't know what her strength was, but through self-introduction, it was known that she had already conquered two Pokémon, and their attributes were different. She was obviously preparing to form a multi-attribute team like Lin Tao.

Lin Tao absolutely recognized Qian Zheng's strength, but remembering that Qian Zheng always acted aloof, it would be difficult to deal with the relationship between classmates... To sum up, it was better to choose this female classmate.

"What's your name?" Lin Tao looked up at the blackboard, "Song Qinglan."

"It looks like a boy's name." After complaining, he still wrote these three words on the note, folded it and handed it over.

During the voting session, the votes of the two men increased alternately. In the end, Qian Zheng won the election of squad leader with a slight advantage, and Song Qinglan naturally became the deputy squad leader.

"Oh my god, this is not aesthetically pleasing..." My deskmate Liao Dong looked regretful, as if his idol had been eliminated from a talent show.

Lin Tao began to understand his deskmate a little bit. Is it because there are not many truly capable coordinators and trainers in the talent show on TV, so the class cadre election is regarded as a school talent show?But there’s something wrong with your appearance-based theory, classmate?

Forget it, it doesn't matter who it is, Lin Tao doesn't care much about the election for class cadres.

After the evening self-study, Naughty Panda was indeed very sleepy, so after Lin Tao promised to keep the speaker cricket with him, he agreed to stay in the dormitory for non-combat classes.

……

The next day, the formal class.

In addition to the increased difficulty of cultural courses, the biggest difference between high school and junior high school courses is that there are many more professional courses.

Of course, training and research majors require different professional courses.

The professional battle course was different from what Lin Tao had originally imagined.I originally thought that the battle class was to go to an outdoor battle field to fight directly, but this was just one of them - a practical class, and according to the class schedule, there were only two practical classes a week.

There is still most theoretical knowledge to learn.For example, there are Pokémon characteristics classes, Pokémon skill classes, Pokémon combat training classes, Pokémon battle tactics classes, Pokémon battle classes with different attributes, etc., and even one that Lin Tao thought was the most exaggerated. ——Pokémon battle history lesson.

Among them, characteristics, skills, training, tactics, etc. are all directly related to the battle, which is understandable, but what is this battle history?Shouldn’t the history of Pokémon be learned by the top academics next door?

It wasn't until the first battle history course that Lin Tao's doubts were solved.

The teacher who taught the history of Pokémon battles was none other than the examiner of the Water Trial during the previous placement exam—Teacher Mei. By the way, she was also the homeroom teacher of Wang Muye’s Grade [-] class.

Just like the invigilator that day, Teacher Mei also didn't look very energetic. She didn't hold the pamphlet in her hand, but put it in the chest pocket of her coat.It looked like it was a book, but it was placed with the back facing outward so that no one could see the title, which made Lin Tao even more curious.

But unlike other teachers, Teacher Mei went straight to the topic in the first class.

"I think many students would like to ask why combat majors need to study history."

"It's very simple, because what we want to learn is - the history of battles!"

The students below looked at each other and didn't seem to understand much.

"Everyone here," Teacher Mei pointed to the students below, and then raised her finger to point to herself, "Of course I am too, all of them were born and lived in a peaceful era. So, the Pokémon battle you know, Now it has developed into an activity similar to sports, with standards for battlefields, referees and competition rules, friendship first, competition second, and point-and-shoot activities..."

"But there's more to real Pokémon battles than that."

"Battles with wild Pokémon in the wild, battles during wars, violent activities of some illegal organizations, etc. If a trainer can only fight under the conditions of referees, game rules, and fixed venues, then he He must be an unqualified trainer!"

I don’t know what other students think, but Lin Tao knows it well after experiencing the battle with the toucan during the previous picnic.

There are no game rules, no referees, and the venue is not fixed. The enemy will even bypass the Pokémon and directly attack the trainer himself - is this the battle that Teacher Mei is talking about?

A battle between life and death.

"That's why we have to study the evolution of Pokémon battles from ancient times to the present, draw experience from it, and learn the rules."

"Okay, everyone, please open the textbook. In the first semester of our first semester of high school, this textbook is about the evolution of war history in our country. Next semester, we will study the history of war in other parts of the world. What we are going to talk about today is-" Teacher Mei continued He turned around and wrote the title on the blackboard, "Pokémon battle during our country's primitive society."
