Chapter 139: A Trainer Who Doesn't Want to be a Pokémon Doctor Isn't a Good Trainer_1
Magic City.
Magic City University.
This was Fang Yuan's second day here.
On the first day, he had experienced the university's Ghost House, where the person in charge gave pointers, allowing Eevee to fully master the Shadow Ball.
However, as a result of practicing the Shadow Ball Technique, they had wasted an entire day, thus failing to complete the tour of the university.
Therefore, on the second day, Fang Yuan and the others came here again for a visit.
Overall, the training facilities of Magic City University and Imperial City University were not exactly the same in form, but their effects were almost identical.
This was purely due to the cultural differences between the north and the south.
Additionally, what pleasantly surprised Fang Yuan was that during their visit to Mo Da, the very Director Qi from the external affairs office was personally accompanying him.
This even caused Fang Yuan a slight dilemma.
Imperial City University had a young lady as a guide, whereas here, you have a balding uncle guiding you…
Fang Yuan really wanted to complain, but couldn't muster anything to say; after all, considering Director Qi's position, taking the time to show him around was obviously a greater honor.
"If you have a chance to apply for Demon Capital University, what major would you choose?"
At the end of the tour, Director Qi turned and asked Fang Yuan.
His deep concern for Fang Yuan was not just because Fang Yuan had won the Little Phoenix King Cup.
An outcome in a newcomer's competition didn't signify much, as there were too many new Trainers who started off displaying remarkable talent, only to quickly fade into the crowd.
The reason Director Qi personally took Fang Yuan on a tour of Mo Da was because Teacher Zhou Youyou, the Ghost House manager, had given Fang Yuan a high evaluation.
As Gengar taught Eevee to become proficient in the Shadow Ball Technique, Teacher Zhou Youyou had had extensive conversations with Fang Yuan about everything from training and nurturing to battling. Fang Yuan appeared excellent to her in terms of both knowledge and thought, which was why Teacher Zhou believed that Fang Yuan's potential was not inferior to those geniuses who only shone briefly. He was a Trainer with real ideas.
Generally speaking, it's these kinds of Trainers who can have the last laugh and stand out among their peers.
"What major? It should be Pokemon research major, right…"
"Indeed, a Pokemon battling major…" Director Qi nodded, but then his brows furrowed the next moment.
Wait a second...
It wasn't a Pokemon battling major but a Pokemon research major?
"Yes, Pokemon research major…" Fang Yuan repeated.
"Uh…" Director Qi had not anticipated this at all.
Seeing this, Fang Yuan scratched his head. Compared to Pokemon battling, he felt he needed a more systematic approach to studying Pokemon.
This way, he could fully utilize the knowledge from his memory that was ahead of this world.
Battling knowledge could be picked up as an elective when the opportunity arose.
Fang Yuan's idea was that he had already published one article on characteristics. If he published a few more academically valuable articles during his university years, he could use university as a stepping stone and directly become an official Pokemon Researcher, enjoy state subsidies, have his own research institute, and maximize the number of Pokemon he could raise.
Secondly, if the research topic needed was significant, Pokemon Researchers could also apply to enter secret locations.
Yes, entering secret locations.
Generally speaking, some unexplored secret locations are only accessible to Professional Trainers for exploration. Apart from them, whether you are a student at a prestigious university or an experienced trainer, it is very difficult to obtain permission to enter these locations.
However, there is one profession that is an exception, and that's the Pokemon Research Worker.
Researching the primitive breeding habits, characteristics, habitats, origins, etc., of Pokemon requires working in these secret locations.
For example, a researcher who uncovered and summarized the patterns of "Exotic Syndrome" within the Pokemon in these secret locations has now long become a world-famous Pokemon Doctor.
The rules of "Exotic Syndrome" he summarized have been of great help to Earth.
Therefore, relatively important Pokemon Researchers are qualified to enter and exit these secret locations, and the Trainer Association will also dispatch corresponding teams of Professional Trainers to provide personal protection for the researchers, to ensure their safety.
After all, if the domain of trainers in a country is to develop steadily, it is far from enough to only have trainers who specialize in battles. There is also a need for various Pokemon researchers in order to achieve a harmonious development situation.
Fang Yuan felt that it would certainly take him a long while to become a Professional Trainer, but becoming an Official Researcher was not much of a challenge for him.
In this way, he would qualify to have the opportunity to enter these secret locations in advance and could capture those stronger, rarer Pokemon in the secret locations!
Therefore, the identity of Pokemon Research Worker was something he must acquire at any cost.
As everyone knows, a trainer who doesn't aspire to become a Pokemon Doctor is not a good trainer...
At the moment, it was just as well that Director Qi didn't know what Fang Yuan was thinking; otherwise, he would certainly drag off his shoe and fling it over, urging Fang Yuan to respect other Pokemon Researchers, to respect the efforts of those Pokemon Doctors...
"Director Qi, I remember, Magic City University has special admissions policies for high school students with certain artistic or technical talents, right?"
Fang Yuan had another little scheme in mind, which was to enjoy the privilege of lowered admission scores from these prestigious universities through his achievements in the field of Pokemon research.
He would definitely not be able to score high on the cultural courses of the college entrance examination, and relying solely on the bonus points from Pokemon battles, which had a ceiling, still posed a certain risk for him to get into Magic City University or Emperor Capital University.
In this situation, Fang Yuan believed that what he should do was not to improve his academic scores but to find a way to lower the admission score line.
"You mean, in the aspect of Pokemon research..."
Fang Yuan chuckled lightly.
Why do high school students have to write research papers? And why do they risk plagiarizing?
It's all to take the route of independent enrollment and benefit from the corresponding policy of reduced points in the college entrance examination.
And Fang Yuan had already succeeded in one step.
Why did the Pingcheng Trainer Association believe he had the ability to be admitted to Magic City University or Emperor Capital University? Wasn't it because of that research paper on Dangerous Premonition...
To enter these prestigious universities in this way was undoubtedly more suitable for Fang Yuan's development going forward.
He had an in-depth conversation with Director Qi.
...
A few days later, while wandering around Magic City, Fang Yuan received a call from home.
"Going home for the holiday..."
After the call, Fang Yuan stroked his chin and glanced at the date.
Due to a change in their positions, Father Fang and Mother Fang had a rare opportunity for an extended break, during which the Fang Family planned to stay in their hometown for a while and celebrate the holiday.
Fang Yuan did not dawdle.
He packed his bags the same day and then took Eevee and the Little Magnetic Monster on the maglev train back to Pingcheng.
His main trip to Magic City University was over, and it was time to go home.
