Pokémon: Start with a Dragon-type Gym Leader, and pick up Guroton.

Chapter 74 Arashi Island Trip, the Principal's Farewell Gift!

The system brings news of Gyarados's return.

This is considered an effect of the "Gym Management" feature, which allows you to register and bind Pokémon, and it will show when they leave or return.

However, Li Luochen usually uses [Gym Management] mainly to check the situation of various secret realms. Gyarados is the first Pokémon to be trained and then return like this.

The main reason is that this method is suitable for Gyarados.

To be honest, the other Pokémon have absolutely nothing to do with "travel".

"I probably won't be able to stay with you tonight; I have to go back to the dojo first."

Li Luochen explained to Gadria with a slight apology, "Gyarados is back. I'm going to see it and ask about the secret realm."

"It's okay, I'll go back with you."

Cattleya didn't mind; she knew what it meant.

When Gyarados returned, it brought news of a secret realm containing the third secret seasoning that Guleton would be consuming. Once Guleton eats it, its strength, along with Flamegraf's, will likely return to Gym Leader level.

It will be a foregone conclusion that it will become a city-level dojo.

Cattleya was pleased about this.

You can ask someone out anytime, but it's better to focus on serious matters.

"Um."

Li Luochen nodded slightly, explained the situation to Pai Pa, and then returned to the Minrong Dojo.

……

……

"So good, so good, it's such a good Gyarados."

Back at the dojo, we arrived at the riverbank.

What Li Luochen saw was Gyarados interacting with N.

It's clear that N really appeals to Pokémon.

Even the usually outgoing and ferocious Gyarados was smiling at N at this moment.

"Roar!" (I thought you wouldn't be back at the gym until tomorrow. Look what I brought you back!)

Gyarados looked surprised upon noticing Li Luochen's arrival.

It just learned from N that Li Luochen went out with Jiadeliya.

I thought we were going to spend the night outside.

As it turns out, they're back so quickly.

Gyarados felt that Li Luochen's return was just in time, as it had brought many great gifts this time and was really troubled about where to put them.

That's great! With the external brain now available, we don't have to worry about these things anymore!

Upon hearing this, Gyarados opened its mouth wide and poured out a large pile of strange stones that shimmered with a gentle, watery light.

"Water stones, moist rocks... Not bad, these stones are of good quality. They can be quite effective, whether for selling or for improving water quality. Where did you find them? I'd like to get some myself some some time now."

Li Luochen stared wide-eyed.

The items brought back by Gyarados were worth millions; if it were a gym that mainly uses Water-type moves, it would have made a fortune.

"Roar." (This time I found it in a more distant sea area. The trenches there are not stable, with undercurrents surging from time to time. Unless you are a Gym Leader, it's best not to go near it.)

Gyarados went to a much farther place; if you go any deeper, you'll reach the Pacific Ocean.

Human exploration of the ocean is still in its infancy, and even with the help of Pokémon, it has not gone very deep.

After all, no one knows whether there are any unknown Pokémon in the deep sea.

Let's explore the situation on land first.

"Roar." (One more thing, I saw several unusual ships near that previous secret realm. The crew members were wearing uniforms with the letter R, and they were loitering near the area above the realm.)

Gyarados's tone was unusually solemn.

The secret realm has an elder brother who teaches it moves, as well as the secret seasonings that Guleton, Pokongyan and others need.

If those crew members were allowed into the secret realm, it would likely result in a bloodbath.

"That crew is Team Rocket. I'm planning to go to the Secret Realm on the 15th, and I'll need your help to guide me."

They had originally planned to go to Lan Island for fun, but Li Luochen intended to take care of the important matters first before having fun.

The Rockets came knocking on our door, and we even got our travel expenses reimbursed.

With this in mind, Li Luochen decided to give the Rockets a big push.

Ok……

Once we enter the secret realm, we'll find a time to bombard their evacuation point.

This wave of well-intentioned bombardment is actually a way to accumulate merit.

"Roar!" (No problem!)

Gyarados readily agreed.

……

……

September 15th, Rongcheng University, cloudy.

"Students, today is the day of military training. The school will conduct a fourteen-day military training as a trial before the Truth Dragon Phoenix Cup. I hope that all of you can surpass yourselves, improve your strength, and achieve good results during this period."

Principal Lin is giving a pep talk to the freshmen.

Every year, those who can enter the provincial competition as freshmen are the cream of the crop, but it does not affect the confidence of these students.

Every year someone gets in, so why can't that person be him/her?

Everyone felt they needed to work even harder to become outstanding students worthy of being listed on the honor roll.

Then you will receive a reward of 10,000 academic credits.

There was nothing we could do; the principal had given us far too much.

Ten thousand credits are enough to train several elite Pokémon!

As long as you make it to the provincial competition, you'll receive a 10,000 academic credit reward!

Just thinking about it is exciting!

Moreover, even if we don't make it to the provincial competition, this military training is one of the few opportunities to legally take advantage of the school's resources, so why not take advantage of it!

"Sigh, I really envy you guys who get to go to military training. Unlike us, we can only pitifully go to Lan Island to see the sea."

Wearing a sun hat, Li Luochen looked at the large group preparing to go to the secret realm, his eyes revealing envy.

These are all resources!

Money you can get for free!

Unfortunately, the school actually canceled his military training, thus canceling his chance for the "billion-dollar subsidy"!

"Damn it, suddenly getting freebies doesn't seem so appealing anymore..."

Everyone's mindset was also affected by Li Luochen's words.

Military training offers opportunities to take advantage of freebies, but such opportunities to legally take leave seem even rarer!

This military training will last for fourteen days. Including the rest days at the end of last month, as well as the National Day and Mid-Autumn Festival holidays, Li Luochen and his classmates have essentially had almost a month off!

Goodness, a whole month!

How enviable!

"Luo Chen, you must be careful about your safety when you travel to other places this time. Can you promise me that you will not cross the border, will not suddenly go to other regions, and will not be tricked by Team Rocket? Otherwise, the principal will have to personally lead people to kill them."

Su Ranran held Li Luochen's hand and said a lot of things in a heartfelt manner.

Just ...

"Sister Ran, how do you know so much? Has someone done it before or what?"

Li Luochen asked in surprise.

"Um... this is..."

Su Ranran didn't know how to explain it either.

"This is because someone once skipped class while in college and ended up encountering pirates at sea."

"When I went over to rescue them, I found them all playing together, drinking and chatting happily on the boat."

Principal Lin walked over and looked at Li Luochen: "Let's not talk about this anymore. Take this first; it might be helpful to you later."

"This is……?"
