Chapter 15

018: Wang Tao, Senior Brother and Master of the Fire Cloud Gym!

Just then, the homeroom teacher, Wang Wang Yubo, walked into the classroom.

"Su Yu, come out with me for a moment."

After calling Su Yu out, Wang Wang Yubo couldn't help but smile as he spoke.

"Even I didn't expect yesterday's match to cause such a huge uproar."

"We instructors have already held a meeting and decided that you should prepare well for the Pokémon Entrance Exam; other students are strictly forbidden from disturbing your training."

"So you don't need to worry; just act as if nothing happened."

Hearing this, Su Yu nodded.

If the school could handle it, that would be for the best.

"By the way, there's another reason I called you out: the school has invited a Gym Master to provide training for you."

"Since a Gym Master's energy is limited, he can only teach a few people, and you are one of them."

"Pack up and get ready to go with me to the Battle Hall; he is waiting there."

Hearing Wang Wang Yubo's words, Su Yu was startled.

He hadn't expected the school to be so ruthless this year, directly inviting a Gym Master.

It was well known that just below the Ace Trainers were the Gym Masters.

These Gym Masters were practically the backbone of the Xia Nation.

Each possessed formidable strength and was usually extremely busy.

To invite such a Master over, the school must have paid a considerable price.

Seeming to know what Su Yu was thinking, Wang Wang Yubo opened his mouth to explain.

"Actually, this Gym Master also graduated from our school; his name is Wang Tao, and he is the Master of the Fire Cloud Gym."

"This time, missing his alma mater, he was invited by the principal to come and train us."

"The school didn't spend too much money."

Su Yu immediately understood; this was the benefit of an educational institution.

Many trainers cultivated by the school could bring rewards back to it.

"Wang Tao is the Master of a Fire-type Gym; isn't your starter Pokémon a Torchic? You can learn some experience from him."

Wang Wang Yubo said with earnest sincerity.

"Opportunities to receive guidance from a Gym Master are rare; you might even be able to ask him more about the secrets of raising Fire-type Pokémon."

Su Yu naturally nodded; he was very clear about this matter.

Moreover, he currently had only a vague understanding of how to raise a Torchic, so seeking advice from a Gym Master would be an excellent choice.

"Now that we've finished talking, let's set off."

Having said this, Wang Wang Yubo led Su Yu toward the Battle Hall.

By the time the two arrived at the Battle Hall, several others had already gathered there.

Even Liang Liang Wenshan, who had battled Su Yu previously, was among them.

However, upon seeing Su Yu, Liang Liang Wenshan's face turned green with shame.

Unlike Su Yu, who had become famous throughout the school, Liang Liang Wenshan had been thoroughly nailed to the pillar of shame.

Wherever he went, crowds of people looked at him with strange eyes.

Faced with this situation, he was helpless; after all, who else but himself had caused all of this?

In the center of the arena stood not only a dozen students but also Principal Yu Dong and a young man with delicate features and a gentle demeanor.

At that moment, this young man was chatting and laughing with Yu Dong, seemingly discussing something.

Seeing Su Yu arrive, Yu Dong gestured to the man beside him.

"Wang Tao, this is the promising young man I told you about."

"Oh?" Hearing this, Wang Tao also looked Su Yu over curiously.

Anyone praised by Principal Yu Dong must certainly have outstanding qualities.

After Su Yu approached, Yu Dong began introducing him to all the students.

"This man beside me may look young, but he is now the Master of the Fire Cloud Gym in our Yunhai City."

"His name is Wang Tao; he graduated from our Yunhai No. 1 High School ten years ago."

"He is here this time because we invited him to give you special training, enabling you to shine brilliantly in the entrance exam one week from now."

"You are all students whom I believe possess great potential and further cultivation value."

Hearing the principal's introduction, the students present were all startled.

They had noticed this young man earlier but never expected someone so young to already be a Gym Master!

And he was a graduate of their very own Yunhai No. 1 High School.

"Greetings, Senior Brother."

Immediately, a student called out in greeting.

"Hehe, greetings, Junior Brothers," Wang Tao said with a very gentle smile, his demeanor making everyone feel as though they were bathed in a spring breeze.

"Greetings, Junior Brothers; this time, invited by the principal, I have come specifically to conduct special training for all of you."

"I hope none of you feel nervous; learning even a little more is the best outcome."

"I specialize in Fire-types, and most of the Pokémon in my possession are Fire-type."

"Today I won't talk much; I will simply explain how to secure victory by changing the battlefield terrain when at a type disadvantage."

"Let us begin the practical battle now."

Wang Tao was decisive and swift; after speaking just a few sentences, he decided to start the practical battle immediately.

"Come out, Vulpix!"

Wang Tao threw out a Poké Ball, and a Pokémon with reddish-brown fur, amber eyes, large pointed ears, and six tails appeared.

Clearly, this Vulpix had not been developing for long and was still quite young.

019: A crisp battle, astonished classmates.

Su Yu checked Vulpix's attributes.

[Name: Vulpix (Fire)]

[Gender: ♀]

[Level: LV.9 (Novice)]

[Ability: Flash Fire (Increases the power of Fire-type moves when HP is low)]

[Potential: Quasi-Champion]

[IVs: HP (31), Attack (31), Special Attack (28), Defense (27), Special Defense (30), Speed (31)]

[Moves: Ember, Tail Whip, Quick Attack, Fire Spin, Sunny Day]

[Description: Though still a pup, it possesses six beautiful tails. As it grows, its tails will multiply.]

As expected of a Gym Leader's Pokémon; even one chosen at random possesses Quasi-Champion potential.

"I obtained this Vulpix not long ago; it serves perfectly as a demonstration now."

"Which student has a Water-type starter Pokémon? Could you join me for a demonstration?"

Wang Tao asked, looking down at the students below.

Several students looked at each other, yet none spoke.

Either their starter Pokémon was not Water-type, or they simply did not wish to go up and serve as a backdrop.

Seeing this, Liang Liang Wensheng in the middle raised his hand.

"Senior, my starter Pokémon is Water-type."

Liang Liang Wensheng decided to be the first to go up, hoping to leave a good impression on the senior.

Moreover, he hoped to use this opportunity to wash away his poor reputation.

If he went up and defeated Wang Tao, perhaps his image at the school would instantly turn around!

By defeating the Gym Leader invited by the school, his negative image would vanish based on that title alone.

"Very good, this student shows commendable courage; what is your name?"
