Chapter 372 Choose your starting Pokémon!

Monday, August 10th.

Today is a working day and the beginning of the week for students and teachers at Grapevine Academy.

There had just been a light rain last night, and the dazzling summer sun had not yet risen. There was still a considerable amount of water accumulated on the steps leading to the gate of Grape Academy.

The accumulated clouds in the sky were already showing signs of dissipating, and the fresh smell after the rain was in the air. Two or three students with their Pokémon partners ignored the splashing water, laughing and chasing with their partners toward the gate of the Grape Academy. go.

There was still more than an hour before the start of class, so we went down the stairs and arrived at the Sun Plaza in the center of Table City, where a lively battle venue was established.

Based on the icons of the eighteen attributes of Pokémon, a colorful pattern like the sun is formed and surrounds the battle site. This is a famous landmark in Table City and is also an area where many trainers compete.

The regular visitors here are the students from the Grape Academy above the square. In addition, there are many traveling trainers, and even trainers from other regions come here just to experience the Padian-style Pokémon. Battle.

On rare occasions, well-known trainers will come to fight. Gym leaders in the Padia region and even the Four Heavenly Kings have had public battles here. In addition to the on-campus battle venues, Grape Academy will occasionally use the academy to compete. The examination venue is set up here to reduce the burden.

The bustling crowd surrounded the battlefield. The battle between the trainers from both sides was at its peak. In addition to the cheers and cheers from around, office workers passing by could not help but stop and watch the battle. They would often There was an unexpected incident that caused me to be almost late for work because I was obsessed with it.

At this time, the raging battle on the Sun Square battle ground has come to an end.

The two sides were both students from the Grape Academy. One side was a vigorous black-haired girl with a single ponytail, and the other side was a boy whose hair was more purple-colored, with a pair of fierce fish eyes hanging on his expressionless face.

The two people wearing Grape Academy uniforms fighting against each other were Nimo, Luo Mu's number one cheating master, and Shinji, who had just been accepted last night.

The Pokémon they commanded were a Noodler and a Wood Turtle.

Faced with the "herbivore" trait of Nian Meier, Shinji was disgusted by the fight. He could only complain crazily in his heart. The girl opposite seemed to have no scheming and straightforward appearance, but her fighting style was very tricky and direct. Live at your own Achilles heel.

Nowadays, most of the skill proficiency is focused on grass attribute moves. The forest turtle, who is only unfamiliar with a few other attribute moves, naturally lost to Nian Mei'er cleanly.

Amid the applause of the surrounding audience, Nemo smiled brightly and extended her hand to Shinji who took back the forest turtle: "It was really a battle that benefited me a lot!"

Although I was beaten unilaterally by you.

The expressionless Shinji's mouth twitched, but he just nodded silently, then withdrew his hand and turned around to leave.

Shinji thought in his mind and calculated the time. The teacher's class should be starting soon, so he should go back to the academy first. The location of the class seems to be no longer on the academy's playground.

Shortly after Shinji left, Nimo looked at Shinji's leaving figure with her hands on her hips, looking happy from the battle, and two voices sounded behind her.

"Nemo, it's almost time to go back to the academy. It's almost time for class."

"How did you feel about the battle just now? That classmate's forest turtle is very strong. It's a pity that I met your Nianmei'er."

The former was said by Mudan, who was carrying Ibrahimovic's backpack as usual, and the latter was said by Papa, who ate the crepe in his hand like a gulp.

"It's pretty good, but I always feel like I've seen that classmate somewhere."

Nimo first answered Pipa's question and then looked at Peony.

"Let's go, let's go! The teacher said that he has prepared a surprise for us today, hehehe. It won't be against that King Lei Guan, right? It's really not possible, little Dandan. The Regice you mentioned is also pretty good!"

“I really don’t know if you are ignorant and fearless, or if you have a pure heart.”

Mudan shook her head helplessly. In her opinion, Nimone had never seen the power of Regice and King Lei Guan, so she wanted to challenge each other.

Having witnessed Regice's strength and physical toughness, as well as King Leicester's ultra-long-distance teleportation, she had never thought of challenging him from the beginning.

Not to mention that the surprise prepared by the slightly sinister teacher would most likely be a shock.

The three of them came to Table City for breakfast together. Although the Grape Academy provides three delicious meals a day, the students occasionally want to try new flavors, such as milk toast, which is very popular recently in Table City.

It's just good-quality toast spread with butter and hot milk poured on top. It's an ordinary breakfast that can be made by any family, but it has recently been highly praised in terms of taste. Even pie Ms. Afeng from Schleisse Muse praised it repeatedly after tasting it.

It is said that the shop owner uses secret moo milk and butter purchased from other cities as raw materials.

Because many people queuing up could see the angry parrot flying into the store with loads of Moo Moo milk and packaged butter, so they became curious about the boss's supply.

Unfortunately, the breakfast shop owner's confidentiality measures are very strong, and the answer to this question is still an unsolved mystery.

"It is said that the breakfast shop will be open randomly for a short period of time in the afternoon. It sells the dreamy milk pudding for afternoon tea dessert. The opening time is usually only a few minutes. It is said that the super delicious limited edition milk pudding is sold out."

Walking on the stairs to Grape Academy, Pa Pa held her cheeks in her hands, her face full of longing.

"It would be great if I could eat it one day."

"Lopa, you really like desserts." Mudan sighed, then looked at the half-dead Nemo beside her, "As for this one, his physical strength is still as bad as ever."

You know, I have only walked less than a third of the entire ladder.

In desperation, Papa and Mudan could only hold Nimo's left and right arms, and forcefully carried her to the gate of Grape Academy.

Looking at the campus where the style has changed from warm orange to cool and warm purple, as if they remembered something, the three of them suddenly started talking about the recent rumors that have been widely circulated in the college.

"Have you heard about the recent haunting rumors in the college? I heard that even Teacher Mimosa in the infirmary lost the gold ring she was going to exchange for her significant other!"

In Grape Academy, during the summer vacation, Ye Ci specially asked Clavel to build an indoor battle hall to ensure the quality of Luo Mu's teaching.

Nimo and the other three bumped into Shinji again, who had just left. Beside them was Paipa, who was still squatting because of Shinji's indifference, with a sad look on his face.

Nimo, who had been resurrected with full health, said in surprise: "This classmate, why are you here?"

Shinji glanced at Nimo, and he wasn't surprised. With Nimo's strength, it was natural for him to appear here.

Pipa, who was squatting on the ground and drawing circles, said quietly: "He is a transfer student who will join us starting today. His name is Shinji."

Obviously, he still hasn't recovered from the shock of saying hello happily because he finally has a friend of the same gender, but directly having a hot face but a cold butt.

Shinji just nodded slightly towards Nimo, Mudan and Pa Pa, and then leaned against the wall, closed his eyes, and said no more.

He has the image of a cold and cool guy.

The three girls looked at each other, and finally the enthusiastic Nemo took the lead: "Shinji-kun, have we met somewhere?"

Before Nimo could finish her words, the bell for class rang throughout the Grape Academy campus, and behind them came the voice of Luo Mu, who had arrived on time.

"Hey, is everyone here?"

The five people politely shouted to Luo Mu: "Good morning, teacher!"

"Well, good morning." Luo Mu replied with a smile, and then his eyes fell on Shinji who was leaning against the wall. "Shinji also passed my test. From now on, we will all be classmates, so we must have a good relationship with each other. "

After speaking, Luo Mu opened the door of the battle hall with the key, motioned for the students to follow him, and walked towards the brand new battle hall that had been completely ventilated and had no smell at all.

Nimo and the others could only follow. Shinji specially waited for everyone to enter the battle arena before setting off.

He looked at Nemo who was walking in front of him for a moment. He didn't know if he was born not good at dealing with this kind of passionate fighting fool. Nemo's question left Shinji speechless.

It seems that she didn't remember anything about her and her brother asking her for directions.

After a while.

In the battle hall, Luo Mu announced the surprise that he had given up until now.

Beside him, three salt stone barriers were lined up, full of fighting spirit because they had received Luo Mu's promise of extra meals.

After the battle with Qishu, his confidence increased greatly. Brother Huhu, who had been exercising well while Luo Mu was away, was also released from the Poké Ball by Luo Mu.

Luo Mu clapped his hands, focused everyone's attention in front of him, and announced: "This is the first warm-up exercise after the summer vacation!"

"Peony, Piper, and Pipa fight against Salt Stone Barrier, and Nemo fights against Huhu. As for Shinji, you can first observe the battles of your classmates to understand their Pokémon and fighting styles."

Shinji: ".I understand."

Silently retreating to the outside of the battlefield, Shinji cast a pitying look at Pipa and the others, and then locked his sights on the pot, wondering how this pot could fight with Nemo.

According to his guess, Nimo should be the girl Luo Mu mentioned who is now good enough to pass the Eighth Avenue Hall and achieve good results in the alliance conference.

At this time, the four of them did not know that the nightmare was approaching. Even those who were not usually active like Pipa and Peony, after a period of rest, were now a little eager to try.

The victory of Blueberry Academy brought enough positive feedback, making them more motivated and confident in their usual training.

Luo Mu saw all this, so as a reward, he chose to demonstrate the fighting routines of Salt Rock Barrier and Hu Hu in front of several students in the first class of this semester.

Luo Mu quickly arranged more detailed battle groupings.

Papa battled against the Salt Rock Barrier, which was the forest turtle that defeated Shinji last night, and the Pokémon it used was Monkey.

Peony and Piper fought against two other Salt Barriers that had not yet learned to regenerate themselves. The Pokémon they used were Fairy Eevee and Mastiff Godfather.

Nemo's Babu Woodchuck fights against Huhu's brother.

Luo Mu has already taught Yan Shilei and Huhu the specific battle routines.

Even though he lacks some ability to improvise without his own conductor, there is no problem in getting the routine to work.

The battle started quickly, just like Shinji's initial setback, the Forsaken and the Mastiff, who were good at close combat, were salted at the beginning, and then the Saltstones started to use Iron Wall Strengthening directly, which was exactly the same as what Shinji experienced last night.

Mudan's Sylveon was better. Even without attribute affinity, Sylveon as a special attacker still had a considerable advantage against the Saltstones, although she was accidentally sprayed by the Saltstones' ready-to-go during the battle and entered a painful salted state.

But the balance of victory was indeed tilting towards Sylveon and Mudan.

As for Nemo, after being disgusted by Hu Hu's old trick of power sharing + stand + poison + sticky net/guard combination, she still chose to actively let Babu Tubo attack instead of defend to find a chance to win, just like her character.

The four simultaneous battles lasted for a long time before the winner was decided.

The first to win was the combination of Peony and Sylveon. The skill pool was not yet complete, and the evolution had not reached the top. It was indeed difficult for Saltstone, who had no one to command, to fight against the special attacker Sylveon.

But Saltstone still succeeded in making Peony's already pale face even paler because of nausea.

This made Shinji, who had diverted his attention for a moment, look thoughtful.

The way to restrain that routine. Is it really to use Pokémon that are good at special attacks?

Piper and Godfather were the first to become the captives of the youth version of the Salt Prince. After the battle, they were in a trance and took Godfather to receive treatment from Flower Therapy Teacher Huanhuan.

Under the command of Piper, the Forsaken Monkey fought with Saltstone for a long time, but unfortunately, under the pressure of salting and the lack of understanding of the characteristics of Saltstone's clean salt, it was killed by the initial cycle of Saltstone's moves.

Somewhat unwillingly, she got Luo Mu's advice.

"The clean salt property can reduce the effect of ghost-type moves by half. You let the Forsaken Monkey gamble with the Fist of Fury instead of using the fighting-type moves that restrain the Salt Stone Barrier. From that time on, the outcome of the battle was already determined."

The battle between Nemo's Babu Tubo and Huhu lasted the longest. Nemo and Babu Tubo's tenacity exceeded the expectations of Shinji, who paid close attention to every detail of the battle.

If Huhu hadn't hidden the power of the earth that restrained Babu Tubo at the end, maybe Nemo and Babu Tubo could really defeat Huhu without Luo Mu's command.

Looking at Nemo picking up Babu Tubo who fell down due to the double blow of the poison and the power of the earth, Luo Mu showed a relieved smile.

Nemo's growth rate is almost different every day. Looking at her skillful command of Babu Tubo, who would have thought that she hadn't even touched the initial Pokémon half a year ago?

While Nemo and the other four were waiting in line with their friends to receive the flower therapy ring treatment, Luo Mu called Shinji to him. When he saw Shinji's thoughtful look, he knew that he didn't need to help Shinji summarize it himself.

"It seems that you have already understood something, which is good."

With Shinji, a trainer with a keen sense of tactics, and his influence, the four students will definitely be able to go to the next level on their current basis.

The so-called trainer is to collide with different opponents, absorb the advantages of the opponents and strengthen themselves to become stronger and stronger.

"Yes, I found that Saltstone is not very good at fighting against Pokémon that use special attacks. As for Huhu, I am still sorting out the details of the battle."

"That's right, but Saltstone is not in its complete state at the moment. It's not too late to make a conclusion after they evolve." Looking at Shinji's surprised eyes, Luo Mu smiled and took out three Poké Balls: "I heard from Principal Clavel that you haven't chosen the initial Pokémon prepared by the academy yet?"

Shinji nodded first, then hesitated and said, "I already have the Wood Turtle I received from Professor Yamanashi."

"That's the matter of the Sinnoh region, and it has nothing to do with Grape Academy." Luo Mu carefully repeated the lines that Clavel taught him, "No matter who becomes a student of Grape Academy, they have the opportunity to receive the initial Pokémon."

As he said that, Luo Mu opened the three Poké Balls in his hand.

As the red light flashed, three initial Pokémon unique to Padiya appeared in front of Shinji.

Their names are - New Leaf Cat, Slow Charmer and Runshui Duck.

Luo Mu smiled and said, "Come, choose your starting Pokémon!"
