"We've finally reached the Professional level."
Looking at Combusken in front of him, Bruce let out a long sigh of relief, a satisfied smile on his face.
It had been nearly a month and a half since he received Torchic. It was impossible for any novice trainer to produce a Professional-level Pokémon within a month and a half, even with a Pokémon Breeder's guidance.
After reaching the Professional level, Combusken's strength had improved significantly and was now heading toward its final form.
The final form of Combusken, Blaziken, had a very attractive appearance, which Bruce had envied for quite some time.
"It's strange to think that Blaziken, Metagross, and Gardevoir can mega-evolve. I won't form a team entirely made up of mega-evolved Pokémon in the future, will I?" Bruce thought aloud.
"Well, it's pretty hard to find that many Mega Stones," Bruce complained.
In fact, there had been no mega-evolution in this world yet, and even Bruce had never seen any reports related to Z-moves or Dynamax.
As a future Pokémon scholar, Bruce felt this was the perfect research topic for him.
"However, there's no rush on this matter. Research isn't as simple as it seems. First, we need to make the preparations," Bruce thought.
"It's a shame all the Eevee evolutions have been discovered, but the research content was overlooked."
Lost in thought, Bruce opened the map and began looking for areas populated by Professional-level Pokémon.
"Well, I'm currently in the center of the higher-level Pokémon area. All the way north, I can enter the Professional-level Pokémon area."
"Alright, north it is."
After making his decision, Bruce let Combusken recover its strength before setting foot on the path ahead.

Metropolis University,
University Hall.
The so-called school team was a special team, separate from the organizational department.
Almost all the strongest trainers at Metropolis University gathered here, where they would occasionally compete against other schools and participate in freshman student exchange games, university league events, and many other large and small events.
In short, joining the school team was the only way for many students to become stronger.
"Captain, big sister Jessica, what brings you here? Why are you here?" asked the school team members in charge of the team's room when they saw Rasmus Borregaard walking in with Jessica and Liam.
"How's the field military training going?" Liam asked with a slight smile.
Upon hearing this, Rasmus Borregaard waved his hand and replied, "Well, it's not like that. The two people you asked me to pay attention to are way ahead, and the rest of the students are way behind them."
Liam nodded slightly and said quietly, "It seems like the top one or two must have come from them."
Jessica said to Rasmus, "Rasmus, turn on the computer, let me take a look."
Rasmus was stunned for a moment, then turned on the computer and said, "Sister Jessica, if you ask me, there's really nothing to see. It's not like you don't know that the competition in the first three days is fierce, and the rankings can change as they say."
"If you want me to tell you, I still have to go back in two days and pick a good sapling from them."
This was the usual situation; the teaching leaders and school team members didn't observe the specific details of the field military training in the first three days. They would only wait for the rankings to stabilize before choosing the best prospects.
While Rasmus was talking, he had already turned on the computer and entered the live broadcast interface of the field military training.
Jessica said, "Look it up, Bruce Bayne, his student number is 4434396."
"Alright!" murmured Rasmus as he entered the information. "Sister Jessica, who is he?"
Jessica smiled and said, "My cousin."
"He's from the Research Department," Liam added.
Hearing this, Rasmus nodded and smiled, "Got it. First-year students from the research department should team up to face wild Pokémon."
After a moment, the live broadcast image changed, and lush trees appeared on the screen.
"This is the third-person perspective," Liam explained from the side.
"The school has installed countless cameras in the secret environment that can connect with each student's micro-camera to present the images together."
"Last year, around this time, I was sitting here watching your battle in the secret realm."
Upon hearing these words, Jessica suddenly nodded, then glanced at Liam with a strange tone, "So, you started thinking about me back then?"
Rasmus stayed silent and quietly sharpened his ears.
Cough, cough.
Liam coughed slightly and quickly changed the subject, pointing at the computer screen, "Look, your cousin is on screen."
Jessica turned her head and looked at the screen.
On the screen, Bruce was walking down the Verdanturf path with Combusken by his side.
"Not bad, still Combusken," Rasmus' eyes lit up as he exclaimed in admiration.
But the next second, he frowned again and asked in confusion, "Sister Jessica, isn't your cousin in the Research Department? Why is he alone?"
Research students can form teams in two groups to face the dangers in the secret realm.
Jessica was also a bit puzzled. She rolled her eyes but didn't know the reason.
Eventually, she had to respond, "Maybe he has his own reasons."
ANNOUNCEMENT
After saying this, Jessica stared at the screen and secretly thought, "Are you still a little introverted? Is that why you don't want to team up with others?"
But Jessica remembered Bruce's performance on the first day of school and felt that he seemed much more cheerful and lively now, so she wouldn't rule out teaming up with others.
Many thoughts crossed her mind as the three continued watching Bruce's actions.
After a long time, Liam glanced at the screen, frowned slightly, and muttered under his breath, "Something's wrong."
Jessica turned her head and asked, "What's going on?"
Liam stared at the screen, his eyes flashing slightly, and said in a deep voice, "The environment isn't right."
"It's been at least ten minutes since we first saw him, but not only did we not hear a single Growl from Pokémon, but we also haven't seen any Pokémon at all."
"This is very strange."
Rasmus nodded, "Yes, the lower the area for Pokémon, the denser the Pokémon population. There should be Pokémon hidden in the trees, grass, and on the path."
"He's walked all this way for over ten minutes without seeing a single Pokémon, which is very unreasonable."
Liam stayed silent for a moment, then said, "Bring up the map and take a look."
"Okay," Rasmus responded, clicking the mouse to display the Oz Secret Realm map.
However, the three froze when they saw Bruce's current location.
There was silence in the school team room.
After an unknown amount of time, Rasmus' voice suddenly broke the silence.
"Did the younger one take the wrong path…?"
On the screen, the area where Bruce was located was marked with bright red: the Professional Pokémon area.
Liam's eyes flashed, and after thinking for a moment, he said, "I have a theory."
Upon hearing the inquisitive looks from both, Liam slowly said, "Perhaps the young one got separated from his companion."
"Separated?" Jessica was stunned.
"Yes, I just think he's separated," Liam nodded and slowly expressed his theory, "I believe the younger one was with his companions, but then they were attacked by Pokémon. He got separated from them and wandered into the panic area of the Professional Pokémon."
This scenario wasn't impossible.
Rasmus nodded thoughtfully.
But Jessica looked at the map and thought for a moment, then said after a while, "But why is he walking further away now? It seems like he has no intention of leaving at all."
Liam: "..."
"This is really strange." After a moment of silence, even the experienced Liam didn't know what had happened to Bruce for a while.
At that moment, Rasmus turned to look at Jessica, fixed his eyes on her, and said, "Sister Jessica, your cousin isn't setting a trap, is he?"
Jessica was a little surprised, then shook her head and said, "He's not that kind of person."
At the same time, a slight rustling sound came from the grass to the left, and after a slight tremor, a purple Pokémon appeared in front of Bruce.
It had ears on its head that looked like speakers and a large mouth with four funny teeth.
Pokémon: Loudred (Normal)
Ability: Soundproof
Qualification: Gym
Level: Lv33 (Professional)
Loudred approached Bruce and Combusken, and after a strange laugh, took a deep breath and then, using its well-developed abdominal muscles, let out a deafening sound at them in an instant!
Fortunately, Bruce was prepared and covered his ears, but there was still a loud rumble in his ears, and his eardrums vibrated slightly.
Watching this scene, Liam appeared dignified and said in a deep voice, "The student is in danger."
A Professional-level Loudred was extremely dangerous. If it landed a strong blow by accident, one could temporarily lose their hearing.
"I can only ask for help," Rasmus whispered.
Jessica's expression changed rapidly, but she finally smiled and said, "Alright, after all, he's from the Research Department."
"That's right, the field military training for research students is just a formality," Rasmus nodded in agreement.
Liam watched Bruce carefully on the screen, his eyes flashing, and suddenly said
, "The student wants to fight Loudred."
Rasmus and Jessica: "Huh?"
In the Oz Secret Realm,
Staring at Loudred in front of him, Bruce focused, stretched out his arms, and shouted, "Combusken, get ready to fight."
-Combusken!
Combusken's eyes were sharp, its orange crest stood tall, and its sharp claws gleamed coldly.
"Roar!!!"
While Loudred tried to stomp the ground, it emitted a terrifying howl, Growl, and with great force, bits of Leafage withered and grass clippings flew.
The battle was about to begin.
