Chapter 1004

Mana Ro Conference.

Besides Lilia, another match that Baimu watched in full was from Ilima.

As his opponent in the quarterfinals of the Caiyou Conference, a year passed with no "growth," and he lost to Guzma.

"This kid…… doesn't take hints."

Baimu remembered that when he fought Ilima, he used the Pocket Beast to restrict the Super Pocket Beast.

Although Guzma's tactics are not exactly the same, the underlying logic is similar.

That is, the Giant Claw Mantis uses agile positioning to keep a Pocket Beast constantly between itself and the Super Pocket Beast, making it difficult for the latter to attack with full force.

Hence the defeat.

Baimu remained silent.

The subsequent semifinals and finals were not interesting.

He only watched a few matches casually, such as Hau and Xiao Zhi's match.

The Cute Wood Wood Owl became famous in one battle.

Why?

Because in this battle, it used three items: "Hua Pi," the Unchanging Stone, and Grass Z.

It's normal that Hau couldn't win.

There is no doubt that Xiao Zhi's special quality lies here.

When you think the anime's battle system is based on the game, he tells you that the logic of the two is actually distinct, on the spot breaking the already fragile balance, implementing the miraculous "My Thought Power."

The same applies to the conference finals.

Although Gragioge's strength improved by leaps and bounds under the dual tempering of Baimu and the Ore Conference, Xiao Zhi's—or rather, Pikachu's—strength also flexibly fluctuates up and down.

It should have used 【Ultimate Invincible Great Collision】 against Zoroark, but it changed to using 【Million Volts】.

It successfully lasted until the end.

It seemed as if an "invisible big hand" had corrected the world line.

Even though the Night Mane Rock Wolf Person resisted the double return of double return, it successfully held its breath and tied with the Dusk Mane Rock Wolf Person.

Affected by Pikachu not losing combat ability, Gragioge twice missed victory by a hair.

"What a pity."

Baimu shook his head.

He actually didn't find it very surprising; Pikachu's performance was very consistent with its strength fluctuation of being stronger against stronger opponents.

The subsequent battles with Dr. Kukui and Kapu · Hihihi further verified this point; Million Volts truly deserves to be a Z-move capable of maiming Dawu's Super Gigajin Monster.

It's funny that Kapu · Hihihi's exclusive Z 【Giant Guardian · Alola】 effect reduces the opponent's HP by three-quarters, unless the opponent has only a sliver of HP left.

Dr. Kukui: I don't know, I just used it because it looks cool.

Kapu Z is fully responsible!

"I'll be fighting Xiao Zhi next year……"

Baimu swayed the recliner beneath him, as the saying goes, know yourself and know your enemy, and you will win a hundred battles without danger.

Unfortunately, he time-traveled before the Eight Masters Finals, completely unaware of which outrageous methods each side would employ.

No problem!

When narrow roads meet, the brave prevail!

This is the confidence given to him by the simulator!

After forcing himself to become heated with passion for a while, Baimu opened the exchange interface to prepare for simulation.

【Exchange Successful!】

Very good!

An excellent opening will lead to better results.

Let's go with orange plus blue!

Baimu opened the formal simulation.

【Choose Your Birth Region▽】

Monks active in the Sinnoh region, so next is Unova.

In the first few regions, orange talent basically comes from simulation figures at the Four Heavenly Kings level.

Then, how many Four Heavenly Kings have there been historically in each region?

Estimated that light simulation won't take two years, by then the simulator might have to open and compile on the spot.

He didn't think deeply about it.

Anyway, "Heaven" has its own arrangements; he only needs to watch the story and then claim rewards.

【Choose Your Gender▽】

Female.

【Choose Your Pokémon▽】

Roughly a doll?

The Unova opening indeed has some characteristics.

Baimu calmly opened the talent interface.

Fixed Talent:

【☆☆Family Learning Deep Source (Possessing Ancient Inheritance)】

Selectable Talent:

【☆Cultivation Properly (Pokémon Comprehensive Quality Higher)】

【Kind-hearted (willing to help others)】

【Physically strong (very healthy)】

【Appearance born from the heart (attracts Pokémon matching one's looks)】

Awesome!

The recliner creaked as he rocked it, causing the Galarian Corsola on his knees to frown.

Based on the patterns gleaned from the previous few simulations, a single orange gives level 5, one orange and one blue gives level 7, double orange gives level 10!

Struck it rich!

Relying on a Dolliv comparable to an Elite Four member, plus this family heritage...

The Unova region indeed has two Normal-type Gyms.

Not mentioning the one in Nacrene, is it Lenora's ancestor?

Baimu pondered, finger tapping in the air.

The blue talent is a must; among the remaining three talents there's nothing bad either, so I'll pick Physically Strong.

That Black Gym Leader of the Unova Seven Treasures Gym looks very buff at a glance.

Confirm!

A massive light screen slowly unfolded.

Suddenly, a line of text jumped out first.

【The simulated story is purely fictional; any resemblance is purely coincidental】

... A disclaimer?

The simulation runs, large and small, now numbered at least several dozen, yet this was the first time he'd seen this thing.

Really starting to fabricate?

Baimu blanked slightly.

——

【Simulation starting】

Steamship deck, a woman in pink attire gazed into the distance at the bustling metropolis.

Beside her stood her starter Pokémon — Dolliv.

【At age 15, you lost to your contemporary Joy, and left your hometown in resentment】

Lost to Joy...

No wonder the starter is Dolliv, so she's a 【Nurse】!

Baimu looked at the light screen with a strange expression.

Pokémon Centers worldwide are generally run by Joys, amounting to a monopoly.

But those familiar with the medical industry know the Joy family reached today purely on merit. One person handles the workload of ten, paired with advanced medical equipment, and a few Chanseys suffice to meet a town's needs.

Who can beat them?

The nurse losing to Joy is no fault of her own; she truly couldn't win.

However.

She was clearly unwilling to accept it.

【You decide to go to the big city to struggle, accumulating money and practical experience, awaiting a future return home】

Return home to do what?

【You want to open a private Pokémon clinic】

Joy's "monopoly" is limited to Pokémon Centers.

There are still many ordinary hospitals and private clinics that need doctors like Brock, and also need numerous nurses.

The steamship docked.

【You arrived at Castelia City】

As Unova's premier metropolis, Castelia City once possessed the Pokémon version of the American Dream.

Therefore the nurse's idea seemed like a fantasy.

Yet here there was a probability of realization.

Moreover she has 【Family Heritage】; who knows, she might have some innate healing techniques or exclusive medicines with superb effects.

But first.

What she must do is find a Pokémon hospital willing to take her in.

【You begin job hunting】

Baimu watched the nurse submit resumes to various hospitals, thinking she at least had the 【Physically Strong】 talent.

This thing should give her a certain advantage.

Can't beat Joy, just need to beat other nurses.

You know the previous few simulation subjects with this talent, not to mention moving mountains, could at least wrestle with Tauros and race with Dugtrio.

Pokémon hospitals definitely lack this kind of talent!

However.

Unexpectedly.

The nurse's resumes all sank without a trace; let alone getting hired, she didn't even get an interview opportunity.

Huh?

He was just pondering the reason when the narration gave the answer.

【You resent this world that requires a professional license】

Baimu: "..."

Taking back his words, as a nurse he doesn't even have a qualification certificate... and still wants to open a clinic?

A complete quack!

He couldn't help but doubt the nurse's 【family heritage】—was it the medically related family background he had originally imagined?

Inside the light screen.

The nurse was forced to lower her requirements.

Heaven rewards the diligent—she... no, her almost-doll found a job.

Indeed.

Although the nurse herself lacks a qualification certificate, her almost-doll is a proper graduate of a "prestigious school."

Similar to the Nurse Joy school that Musashi once attended.

【You are being treated as a bonus gift for the almost-doll, employed at a Pokémon hospital doing front desk work】

This is vastly different from the nurse's original plan.

But she has no choice.

Who made her a fake nurse?

The scene changes.

Not long after, the nurse couldn't help herself.

【You know full well that front desk work will only pointless waste your time, offering no help toward your future clinic】

She is someone with relatively sound ideas, yet impatient by nature; otherwise, she wouldn't have impulsively run off to the metropolis to struggle.

Her plan to save money while gaining experience has failed.

The nurse decided to first make money.

And in her view, making money is simpler than obtaining a qualification certificate.

【Your family runs a Pokémon nurse school, so you clearly know how to train Pokémon nurses】

No wonder.

Baimu nodded slightly.

He finally understood why the nurse lacks a qualification certificate while her almost-doll graduated from a prestigious school.

And what exactly the 【family heritage】 refers to.

【You want to open a Pokémon nurse school, but due to educational qualifications, you can only run a private tutoring class】

The nurse unexpectedly has no shortage of clients.

Excellent almost-dolls are very good at attracting customers for her, and many people are curious how she raises them.

Are they naturally excellent?

After hearing the nurse's background, they suddenly understood.

No choice.

【You got caught】

Running a private tutoring class in Feiyun City is illegal, after all, once a certain scale is reached, and taxes remain unpaid.

After several twists and turns.

【You were bailed out by your family】

The nurse stubbornly refused to go home, and the narration noted she completely lacked Joy's gentleness.

Meanwhile, her family thought she was not as temperamental as Joy.

The nurse dismissed it with disdain.

【You tell them you will surely save enough money to open a clinic】

She left with her almost-doll.

Having lost this income stream from running the tutoring class, the nurse had to consider other methods.

Quite a coincidence.

She saw the Alliance League promotional video.

【You consider the possibility of challenging the Alliance to win prize money】

The nurse had never before interacted with Pokémon battles; to verify her own strength, she decided to challenge the Feiyun Gym.

The female gym leader, skilled in Water-type Pokémon, made Baimu realize.

She is from the same era as the actor!

【Your challenge was rejected by the Feiyun Gym leader, who requires you to have at least two Pokémon】

After consideration, the nurse resolutely increased her investment.

In the school she runs at home, aside from the almost-doll, there are many various types of Pokémon nurses.

For example, the caretaker Manbo.

Although the identity of Fish Pokémon makes it difficult for them to move freely on land, in certain specific environments, they still need to be deployed.

The key is, the nurse once helped raise one.

She has experience.

Wild caretaker Manbo are not hard to find.

【You begin fishing at the dock】

The nurse baited her hook with what caretaker Manbo loves most, driving away one after another Warrior Bass.

Successfully encountered a wild caretaker Manbo.

Until now, Baimu had only seen her talent as a Trainer—

They used 【Instant Amnesia】 on the doll to block the water ripple, then relied on 【Angel's Kiss】 to confuse it, and finally used 【Mental Focus】 to fish it out.

Their moves were diverse, and their application seamless, very smooth.

One must know that the nurse is just a battle novice.

Most new trainers cannot make effective judgments during battles; the window is short, and they don't have the chance to choose slowly like playing a game.

The nurse performed quite well.

【You successfully subdued the Nanny Mantine, and the Nurse Pokémon increased】

Nanny Mantine obtained.

The nurse conducted a nurse-specific enhancement on it based on experience.

Then went to find it again.

This time, the Feiyun Gym Leader did not refuse.

【Your first Gym challenge has begun】

The Pokémon sent out by the Feiyun Gym Leader were respectively the Cold Water Monkey and Duck Chick, two very basic Pokémon.

During the battle with them.

The nurse discovered a shocking fact——

Healing and beating, myriad changes but same essence!

What to do when the patient gets violent?

Continuous slaps——

Cough cough, charming.

The patient doesn't sleep, yawn!

The patient cries pain, Angel's Kiss!

The patient gives a red envelope, again!

In short, much of what the doll learned at Nurse School can be directly applied in battle.

This also allows them to effortlessly defeat two opponents without breaking a sweat.

Nanny Mantine even had no stage time.

【You defeated the Feiyun Gym Leader and obtained the Feiyun Badge】

The nurse clearly realized they had trainer potential, and compared to being a nurse, they might be more suited to be a trainer.

【You resist this idea, you still plan to return home to open a clinic】

Even though battles make them very happy.

But facing the clinic they long for, the nurse chooses to follow their will and embark on the journey to challenge the League.

Second stop——

Liyong Gym!

Like the Gym Leader during the actor period, they use Steel-type Pokémon.

To ensure the team's overall combat power can rise, the nurse let Nanny Mantine take the field.

The 【Well-Bred】 trait was confirmed.

Relying solely on Nanny Mantine, they defeated the Gym Leader's gear cluster and tiny magnet monster.

Gear Cluster, a peculiar Pokémon formed by one large and two small gears meshing together, can detach the small gears to use as dart attacks.

The nurse hasn't obtained a nurse certificate, but they are very familiar with most Pokémon and know how to deal with them.

Therefore, they let Nanny Mantine use Water Pulse to blast the small gears away, and while the large gear chases the small one, they violently strike the large gear to defeat it.

【You defeated the Liyong Gym Leader and obtained the Liyong Badge】

"Awesome!"

Baimu applauded for the nurse.

To become a qualified nurse, they studied every Pokémon, which also made their Pokémon knowledge extremely rich.

Laid a solid foundation for their League challenge.

In that past era.

This knowledge will become their advantageous weapon!

In the picture.

The nurse continues on the journey to challenge Gyms, their goal very clear——make money! Open a clinic!

The joy brought by battles gradually leaves a certain trace in their heart.
