"Not going to school? What will you do in the future?"
The vice principal wore round glasses and a quaint suit, looking like an old scholar. Seeing Mu Hsu's sincere intention to drop out, he immediately scolded in a tone of dissatisfaction.
Mu Hsu was taken aback by the vice principal's scolding.
Huh?
What can I do if I don't go to school?
There are so many things I can do!
It seems like I've heard this kind of talk countless times in my previous life.
How can I still hear this "dutiful advice" after crossing over?
"Not going to school? I want to travel the world," Mu Hsu retorted. "Moreover, what the school teaches now is not very useful for me. It's not what I want to learn or need. I don't want to become a Pokémon Trainer."
Having said this, Mu Hsu looked up at the principal. "Is that enough?"
The principal still hadn't spoken.
Everyone fell into silence.
Not wanting to become a trainer seems to be okay.
Dropping out also seems to be okay...
"But do you have the ability to protect yourself?"
"There are now mystical regions all over the world, with large and small ones appearing in our world every day. Danger is always present!"
"The wildness of the Pokémon in the mystical regions is far beyond your imagination!"
"Do you understand all this?" The vice principal asked.
Hearing this, Mu Hsu realized that the old man was not just targeting him, it was the responsibility of an educator that put him on the opposing side.
"I know, and I also have the ability to protect myself." Mu Hsu said serious.
The head teacher laughed.
"Mu Hsu, the Pokémon in the mystical regions are extremely wild, and it's a common occurrence for them to attack humans."
"You're just a student who has just obtained a starter Pokémon, what qualifications do you have to say that you can protect yourself?"
"In the wilderness, even encountering an Mightyena might cost you your life!"
The head teacher's words won unanimous agreement from the school leaders present.
Indeed, mystical regions have been appearing in this world for over three hundred years. Although humans can now use and control many mystical regions, they have also found ways to coexist harmoniously with Pokémon.
However, there are still new mystical regions appearing around the world every day.
The location, time, and strength of these new mystical regions are all unknown.
Therefore, danger still exists, which is why being a trainer is such a high mortality profession.
"I really can."
Mu Hsu said helplessly, holding an entry level of elite Greninja in his hand, he can easily sweep through some small mystical regions!
"Okay, then let's use a battle to decide."
Nobody believed Mu Hsu's words.
You're just a student who has just received a starter Pokémon, what qualifications do you have to say such a thing?
Since this kid won't give up until he succeeds or dies trying, let's teach him a lesson.
Several school teachers exchanged glances, agreed!
The simplest way to solve problems in this world is to challenge him to a battle if he doesn't agree.
"You go play with this kid Mr. Yu," The principal spoke up and signaled to the head teacher.
Mr. Yu immediately nodded, he should have done this earlier, this kid is just too spoiled at home, he needs a lesson.
"Okay then, since the principal has spoken, let's do this."
"But if I win against Mr. Yu, can I then drop out of school?" Mu Hsu still had a composed demeanor.
The vice principal was so angry that his face turned red. "Enough! If you win, you don't need the principal; I'll personally help you drop out!"
Hearing this, Mu Hsu breathed a sigh of relief. "Alright, let's do it then."
...
Inside the Feng City Middle School gym, on a huge fighting stage.
Mu Hsu and head teacher Mr. Yu stood at each end of the stage.
"Each side will use one Pokémon. If one party is unable to fight, the match will be over!"
The referee was a teacher who was randomly picked and held two small flags in the middle of the stage.
Mu Hsu and Mr. Yu nodded at the same time, and then released their Pokémon simultaneously.
"Sceptile!"
"Greninja!"
"Kiamo!"
【Who are you? Watch me cut you in half!】
"Kura!"
【Greninja, I am willing to go to hell and back for my master!】
The two Pokémons, one blue and one green, faced each other. The scent of gunpowder began to spread slowly across the stage.
"What? Greninja?"
"Nonsense! He's just a student; how can he command a mature Pokémon like Greninja?"
"What is his family background? Why would they give him such a Pokémon as a starter?"
"This will harm the child. The starter Pokémon should be the most deeply bonded with the trainer, but obviously Greninja was not trained by Mu Hsu, which will greatly affect his growth!"
"That's right, what's the big deal about his family? Adults shouldn't mess around like this."
When the school leaders saw Greninja, their anger was much greater than their surprise.
If the Pokémon doesn't listen to the trainer's command, it will be a disaster for a new trainer.
It will affect them for life!
Mu Hsu looked at the back of Greninja, completely calm. Did he not understand these teachers' concerns? Impossible, Mu Hsu naturally understood their worries.
If a Pokémon was too high level and the trainer's strength was insufficient, the Pokémon might not listen to the trainer's command.
But, who am I?
I am Mu Hsu, the consecutive champion of the Pokémon Global Championship!
The tactics in my head are enough to crush all the trainers in this world!
I am Mu Hsu!
"Greninja, it seems the opponent isn't very strong. Be gentle when attacking later," Mu Hsu instructed casually.
"Kura!"
【Received it, Young master.】
With just a short exchange between them, the thoughts in each other's hearts were already clear. Especially for Greninja, at this moment, he was extremely excited!
Finally, it's time to battle!
Come on, let young master see my strength!
Thinking of this, Greninja suddenly began to imagine scenes of fighting side by side with Mu Hsu.
"Kura!"
【Young master should be able to command me, should I listen?】
【If I obey but lose, wouldn't it be embarrassing...】
【If I don't obey, what if Young master is unhappy...】
While he was constantly thinking, the referee spoke up:
"Now, the battle begins!"
