New week.
On Monday, Jacob got up early in the morning and the news was playing on TV.
"Since the last time the Shiny Aegislash and the Dusknoir attacked China , no one has found their whereabouts yet. Citizens please try to stay away from remote and uninhabited areas."
"The wanted criminal Dante showed up in Frosthollow Province three days ago. Sylas, one of the Four Heavenly Kings of the Southwest Region, will personally lead a team to hunt him down."
...
The capital seemed to have returned to its former tranquility, but everyone was still on edge. As long as they didn't catch the Shiny Aegislash and the Dusknoir, they dared not relax at all.
Jacob's life was as dull and boring as ever, with no other entertainment except training day after day. He was always the first one to arrive at the training ground to start training, and also the last one to leave.
During morning exercise today, Jacob discovered that after the battle last night, the Grovyle's strength had broken through from rare level to elite level, and it had also learned a new skill - Pursuit. This was excellent news.
In the morning, there was still the regular physical education class. After yesterday's dinner, most of the students in the class had become familiar with each other and greeted each other warmly when they met. Only Jacob seemed a little out of place.
"Jacob." Only Harper, the squad leader, smiled and nodded to Jacob: "Good morning."
"Good morning," Jacob said politely, and then continued to train. He found a corner where no one was, released three Pokémon, and trained silently.
If he had the strength of these people, and the Pokémon in his hands were on average lord-level, Jacob would not have trained so hard. Weakness is the root of everything.
There were many girls in the distance secretly looking at Jacob. As the most handsome boy in the class, Jacob had always been the focus of discussion among the girls. Of course, they also knew Jacob's background very well.
Although the Lin family only has one king-level trainer, their status in the academic world is extremely high. As long as Scott and Jude are still around, the Scott family will always be prosperous. However, since Lewis took over the laboratory in the past few years, Fountainhead has never produced any outstanding results, which has led many people to speculate that if the two elders pass away, the status of the Lin family in the academic world will definitely plummet.
"Julia, where did you go after the dinner last night?" At this time, a girl in a pink dress asked Julia with a smile.
Julia was a little surprised in her heart, but she looked calm: "I didn't go anywhere."
"You're lying." The girl in the pink dress raised her voice, attracting the attention of the people around her, but she soon realized that her voice was a little high, so she quickly lowered it and looked at Julia with a teasing look on her face: "Last night I saw you go to the supermarket and quietly buy a bottle of water and walk towards the training ground. Who are you delivering the water to..."
Everyone knew who the person was who was at the training ground. They all looked at Julia with ambiguous expressions: "Julia, when did you make the move? You were really quick. You even managed to take down a handsome guy like Jacob."
"Don't talk nonsense." Julia's face flushed, beautiful and charming: "You think too much."
"If you don't admit it, I'll go ask Jacob," said the girl in the pink dress.
"Really not." Julia thought of what happened last night and couldn't help but sigh: "I just thought that he didn't go to the dinner party alone yesterday, and he felt a little pitiful for being alone."
"So our class monitor Julia showed mercy and pledged his love to you?"
"You damn girl, I'll tear your mouth apart!"
...
Jacob naturally didn't hear what the girls were talking about. He was concentrating on training his Pokémon and didn't even notice Nina appeared behind him.
"Cough." Nina pretended to cough.
"Is there anything wrong? Teacher Nina," Jacob turned his head and looked at Nina.
Nina hesitated to speak, wanting to remind him to focus on training Pokémon and spend less time on romance, but she didn't know how to start: "Nothing, just to see how your training is going. You can ask me any questions at any time."
"Thank you, Ms. Nina. There is no problem for now." Jacob paused and said, "By the way, Ms. Nina, can you teach me the skill of Dragon Pulse this Saturday? I want my Pokémon to learn it."
"Dragon Pulse? I plan to talk about this skill later. I just talked about Dragon Breath in the first half of the month. Dragon Pulse and Dragon Breath have a high degree of overlap. They are both Dragon-type special attack skills, so it's not appropriate to talk about them this week." Nina thought for a moment and said, "How about this, I'll talk about it next week. I plan to talk about Dragon Claw this time."
"Okay, thank you, teacher." Jacob said, "By the way, Teacher Nina, when are you going to visit Fountainhead Laboratory? Take me with you."
"Not for now." Nina shook her head: "We haven't found those two Pokémon yet, and we haven't even found Alora. It's not safe outside. We have to wait for at least a while. By the way, how is your paper on Z-Moves going? When do you plan to publish it?"
"It should be soon." Jacob was not sure. After all, he was the first author of the paper, but he did not write a single word. It was all written by his uncle. But he heard from his grandfather that it should be published soon.
"Okay, you train hard and don't think about other things. Focus on training. Now your only thing is to prepare seriously for the College Cup. The rewards for the College Cup are extremely generous. The top two in the provincial competition can go to the secret realm to choose some extremely rare Pokémon. You must seize the opportunity and don't be affected by other things." Nina reminded Jacob again before walking towards another student.
Jacob scratched his head, wondering what happened to Teacher Nina today. Why did she say so much? Was she reminding him to focus on training Pokémon first and put the experiment aside?
...
Time passed quickly, and in the blink of an eye it was already three days later.
During these three days, Jacob's life was quite fulfilling. He wished he could split the 24 hours of the day into two halves to balance training and thesis work.
First of all, in terms of physical training, the Grovyle in the distance is doing weight training, and behind it is Charmander who is learning in the same way. Now Charmander completely regards the Grovyle as its target to chase, and does everything to match the Grovyle.
Noibat flies in the air, so its training is mainly focused on flying ability.
Of course, the hard work was not in vain. After learning from his mistakes and becoming more courageous, Charmander finally broke through from the ordinary level to the rare level and learned the Smokescreen skill.
During this period, Charmander had to fight with Noibat once a day, with a record of two losses and one win. It was currently unable to crack Noibat's cheating combination of "Double Team + Supersonic." The only time it won was when it guessed the true identity among the Double Team copies, and it lost all the other times.
The Grovyle has been increasing its special attack training these days to tap its potential. Jacob's plan is to train it to have dual swords, which can be used for close range and long range attacks, allowing for all-round attacks without blind spots.
At the same time, Jacob has been focusing on another thing these days, which is Ice-type resistance training. Both Noibat's final evolved form, Noivern, and Mega Sceptile have the fatal weakness of being four times weak to Ice, so Jacob must prepare for a rainy day and make plans in advance.
In addition, Jacob has recently been thinking about the choice of the fourth Pokémon. This matter must be put on the agenda as soon as possible, because he recently discovered that his three Pokémon were completely countered by one Pokémon. If he encounters this Pokémon, he may be defeated by three Pokémon at once.
