Chapter 301 Ghostss' First Battle_1

"Fang Yuan?"

"Don't you feel ashamed saying that?"

Teacher Bai Ning watched Fang Yuan and asked.

As a top student from Magic City University and the last Su province Rookie King, if juniors came to you seeking advice, there would be nothing wrong with you beating them.

But to actively challenge juniors to a battle, it's amazing Fang Yuan could say that with a straight face.

Fang Yuan grinned and said, "Teacher Bai, you've misunderstood... It's been a long time, I mainly wanted to battle you to see if you're interested in testing the results of my improvement?"

What's the point in bullying juniors? Bullying the teacher in front of the juniors is much more interesting.

"Are you serious? Sure."

Teacher Bai Ning's face, framed by her wine-red short hair, revealed a fresh and youthful smile.

It seemed that only half a year into university, Fang Yuan was already getting cocky.

Had Fang Yuan forgotten? Over the course of a year in high school, he had lost dozens of battles to her and had never won once.

"Senior Fang Yuan?" Meanwhile, the two who had just finished their battle shouted in surprise.

Although they had forgotten Fang Yuan's appearance, they immediately recognized him upon hearing his name. All new Trainers in Pingcheng No.1 Middle School should have heard of Fang Yuan, the provincial high school Pokemon battle champion, whose reputation totally eclipsed that of any top college entrance exam student by several streets!

Besides, this person was their senior!

"Hello, everyone." Fang Yuan turned and smiled.

Before Fang Yuan could continue greeting, Teacher Bai Ning shook her head and said, "You're on vacation, right? You came back just in time. Let's go to the gym; you can give a talk to this year's team members and share some tips."

The second annual Su province new Trainer competition was just a few months away, and although it was unlikely that Pingcheng No.1 Middle School could replicate their first-year results, the quality of the new Trainers had improved on average thanks to Fang Yuan, who had secured considerable educational funding for Pingcheng.

To this year's new Trainers in Pingcheng, Fang Yuan was an idol!

"Give a talk? Share tips?" Fang Yuan scratched his head; why did teachers always love this kind of stuff?

...

In the Pingcheng No.1 Middle School Gym, another eight team members were warming up for the battle, led by Director Wu Pingqiu.

Today was a day for practice battles in pairs, and Fang Yuan had just arrived as they began.

Director Wu Pingqiu was stunned for a long time by Fang Yuan's sudden return to school without any notice—this damn kid, wasn't he intentionally disrupting the teaching plan?

"The real Fang Yuan senior?"

"Damn, impressive."

"What's so impressive about that..."

"He's alive, isn't that impressive?"

"..."

The training team members looked at Fang Yuan curiously, and then Director Wu cleared his throat, interrupting the noisy crowd, and said, "Let's pause the battle practice for a moment. I want to introduce you to a senior who graduated a year ahead of you all."

"No need for introductions, we all know each other!" a spiky-haired youth shouted.

As the words fell, Director Wu's face darkened a bit, and upon seeing this, Fang Yuan couldn't help but laugh inwardly. Old Wu is losing his touch, huh? How come there are still kids in the school team bold enough to interrupt?

"Chen Xin, step forward!" Director Wu roared at the spiky-haired boy. In the next second, the student called Chen Xin grimaced and stepped out.

Director Wu sighed and continued to introduce—or rather, boast about—Fang Yuan's achievements, which made the students below surge with emotion. However, in the end, Fang Yuan still couldn't escape from taking the stage himself to speak to his juniors.

Fang Yuan, unprepared, was at a loss for words at first but then could only smile and say, "Actually, becoming an excellent Trainer is very simple."

"Take me as an example."

"First of all, I really enjoy being a Trainer and love the feeling you get when winning a Pokemon battle. I'm sure you all feel happy when you win a battle, right?"

Everyone nodded in agreement—who doesn't like to win?

"Since that's the case, we need to find ways to create happiness. And the method to create happiness is simple—it's through effort. In treating Pokemon, you have to put in your own effort. Only this way will Pokemon reflect happiness back to you, and you can both be happy together."

Fang Yuan spoke plainly, directly, yet his words were also very true. Director Wu felt a strong resonance, like the common education in regular schools where teachers only focus on teaching rather than on educating. Education is crucial, both in teaching and in nurturing, and in guiding New Trainers, it's not enough to only impart training knowledge, but also essential to teach them to form strong friendships with Pokemon. Only by doing so can they go further.

"Fang Yuan is right. Only with heart can you create happiness. The process of interacting with Pokemon is what's most important. There is no result without a process. From today on, you will include the phrase, 'create happiness with heart,' in your morning exercise mantra!" shouted Director Wu.

"Oh..." The school team members nodded and pondered Fang Yuan's words.

...

The school team's battling activities continued, with every member eager to finish their battles.

After their battles were over, Senior Fang Yuan and Teacher Bai Ning would have a demonstration battle!

A battle between the legendary Senior Fang Yuan and a teacher—there was almost no one who didn't want to see it.

Before long, teachers of training classes from other grades in school somehow got wind of the news and hurriedly made their way to the gym to watch the excitement.

Teacher Bai Ning was also quite frustrated but didn't mind too much. After all, it was just a student guidance battle—or so she thought.

Fang Yuan's performance at Demon Capital University and Emperor Capital University hadn't yet reached the high schools. People knew Fang Yuan as a genius Researcher from Mo Da, but they didn't realize that Fang Yuan had also become a monster of a Trainer who could take on Professional Trainers one-on-one...

About twenty minutes later, the battle was about to begin. Fang Yuan squinted his eyes into a slit and smiled, "Teacher Bai, you should be careful."

"Come on, show me how much stronger you've gotten." Teacher Bai pursed her lips, showing a helpless smile on her face.

Meanwhile, teachers from Pingcheng No.1 Middle School who had heard the news, along with members of the school team, were all settled in the stands, eagerly waiting for the two to send out their Pokemon.

"Will it be the Solar Spirit?" asked Director Wu, acting as referee, looking at Fang Yuan. That Eevee was already strong, and after evolving, its power should have grown, right? Maybe it could even give Teacher Bai Ning a run for her money in an excellent battle.

However...

As both contestants threw their Poké Balls at the same time, the Pokemon that appeared for battle were different from what everyone expected.

Teacher Bai Ning sent out a Rain Wing Moth.

And the Pokemon Fang Yuan sent out was the Ghostss he had only recently tamed—half an hour ago, Fang Yuan had awkwardly discovered he'd forgotten to bring Eevee...

Without Eevee, facing Teacher Bai Ning, it looked like he might be in for a rough ride.

For Glutton, this was its first battle against another Trainer's Pokemon under Fang Yuan's command.
