Pokémon Showdown: Silver Peak

"Oh~ So these people are the students of the legendary Pokémon research class." Xiaogang appeared at the door of the kitchen at the right time. He was holding the heavy pot in one hand and stirring skillfully with the other hand. Ingredients for waffles, with an interested expression on his face.

Xiaozhi nodded, his words mixed with a hint of complicated emotions: "Yes, that's the Pokémon Research Class, a group of naughty kids who only know how to chew books and lack practical experience."

Xiaoxia also came over, and she pulled out a colorful flyer from her pocket, with the words "Pokémon Trainer Professional School" printed on it. "Yes, I have received their promotional materials before. It is said that this class is an elite education course specially established for future Pokémon trainers."

Xiaogang took over the conversation and explained in detail: "Once they successfully graduate from the Pokémon training class, students can directly qualify to participate in Pokémon League competitions without having to go through arduous gym challenges and collect badges. Because of this The special advantages make this cram school extremely popular and sought after everywhere.”

However, Xiaozhi had his own unique insights into this. He shrugged lightly and looked into the distance with deep eyes: "After all, they are greenhouse flowers that have never experienced wind and rain. No matter how rich the theoretical knowledge is, it will really change in an instant. , in the alliance conference full of fierce competition, I'm afraid it can only become a stepping stone for others to accumulate combat experience."

"Not only that, the tuition fees for this fully enclosed school are really staggering." Xiaogang said with a hint of exclamation and subtle envy in his tone as he continued to explain to his friends the palace of education in front of them, " The educational resources and environment here are top-notch, so basically all the students who can study here come from prominent families and are truly rich children.”

After hearing this, Xiaoxia nodded slightly, her eyes showing an emotion of both affirmation and helplessness about reality, "It is true. For them, the study and life here is not only the accumulation of knowledge, but also a kind of identity." and a symbol of social status. However, I don’t think this kind of school life is suitable for everyone.”

Xiaozhi was silent on the side, with mixed feelings in his heart. Through his unremitting efforts and hard work experience, he has long since got rid of the empty-pocketed and trapped life, but he knows that even if he has some savings now, he will not be able to compete with those rich people who were born with a silver spoon in their mouths. Compared with the second generation, the gap in their economic strength is still as big as a chasm.

The bell rang leisurely at this moment, like a symphony that ended today's journey of exploration. The thick fog gradually dissipated, like a stage curtain slowly opening. Only then did Xiaozhi and his party suddenly realize that they had been groping forward in this mysterious campus.

"Alas, tomorrow is a special course in the snow..." Xiao Chun, the darling Jarhead who was rescued from the predicament by Xiao Zhi, looked at the increasingly clear sky and couldn't help but sigh, "It seems that I They will definitely make a snowman tomorrow." His words were filled with a hint of nervousness and self-mockery about the upcoming new challenge.

"Can you be a little successful, Xiao Chun?" Xiaozhi's eyes revealed a burning expectation and a trace of disappointment that could not be concealed. He stared closely at the good baby in front of him who always chose to tolerate and refused to resist when bullied. The words were full of encouragement and encouragement for him, "If anyone dares to bully you, you must have the backbone to take it back. How can a man let others bully him?"

When Xiao Chun heard this, a trace of hesitation flashed under his lowered eyes, and he murmured: "Well... Brother Zhi, I don't think they are bullying me, it is more like... the whipping of love, although It's harsh, but it also drives me to keep moving forward." As soon as these words came out, Xiaozhi exclaimed.

"Oh, Xiao Chun, your taste is so unique!" Xiao Zhi heard this, his face was full of surprise and confusion, and he curled his lips, as if savoring this novel statement.

Xiaogang on the side, who always had a serious face on weekdays, frowned slightly at this moment, and educated Xiaochun earnestly: "Beautifying that kind of bad behavior into love is a blasphemy against true care, and it is also You are ignorant and indifferent to your own rights, Xiaochun, you must learn to distinguish right from wrong."

However, Xiao Chun was not shaken by this. He raised his eyes and introduced with a kind of indifferent pride: "Actually, it was precisely because of their 'whipping' that my Bobo was able to grow up at level 18." It achieved a gorgeous evolution and turned into a vigorous Bibi bird. Moreover, during the subsequent training process, it learned the whirlwind skill at level 21, and mastered the powerful wing attack when it reached level 31. Now, as long as it reaches level 36, it can evolve again and become a flying eagle."

Hearing this, Xiaozhi's eyes widened instantly, with an expression of surprise and confusion on his face, "Hey, it turns out you feel like a mirror. When those students asked you questions just now, why didn't you answer?"

"Because that's all I know," Xiao Chun said softly, with a hint of cunning and worry in his eyes. "If I tell everything I know, they will definitely come up with something deeper and more complicated next time." He asked challenging questions to test me. I don’t want to be the target of public criticism. I just want to study down-to-earth and grow quietly in this school.”

Xiaochun lowered his head slightly, with firmness and helplessness in his tone: "I am only a student in the junior class now. This stage is equivalent to two badge levels in the Pokémon world. If you want to be promoted from the junior class to the intermediate class, then You need to have the recognition of four badges, and the graduation standards are more stringent. Even if you don’t collect all the badges, you can still bravely challenge the Pokémon League, but it is undoubtedly a difficult journey.”

"Beginner class?" Xiaogang couldn't help showing surprise when he heard this. He asked with interest, "I thought you were already a student in the intermediate class."

"That's right, Xiaogang." Xiaochun nodded calmly, with a shy blush on his face, "Between primary and intermediate levels not only represents the difference in the number of badges, but also the accumulation process of strength and experience. Each badge has It is a symbol of hard work and wisdom.”

At this moment, Xiaozhi heard their conversation and couldn't help laughing: "Haha, it seems a bit arrogant for you to talk about yourselves like this. But, in that case, Xiaochun, let's do this, I will accompany you to find the man named 'Ai' Talk to the boss of the whipping organization, and I will support you so that he will not trouble you again in the future, what do you think?"

Hearing Xiaozhi's words, Xiaochun's eyes flashed with expectation and gratitude: "Really? Are you willing to help me?"

"Of course, we are partners." Xiaogang also expressed his stance immediately. His honest smile made people feel extremely reassuring, "But, what kind of person is that boss? What about his acting style and strength? ?”

"Look, this is the boss they talk about." Xiao Chun mysteriously and carefully pulled out a photo from his jacket pocket and showed it to Xiao Zhi and Xiao Gang like a rare treasure. The photo shimmered slightly in the sunlight, reflecting the figure of a stunningly beautiful woman.

"Wow, this 'boss' you are talking about is actually a beautiful woman who has conquered the country!" Xiaogang took the photo, his eyes widened like bells, staring straight at the woman in the photo, and instantly With a faint blush on his face, he exclaimed, "She will be even more stunning in the world eight years from now."
