Teacher Bai Ning carefully looked at Lin Jing and Fang Yuan. Before taking office, she was told that these two were students who needed special attention.
She naturally understood the subtext.
It meant that Lin Jing and Fang Yuan were the two most promising Rookie Trainers in this class, and they could be given some special attention when appropriate.
As expected, top students always have special treatment, no matter where they are...
After a brief self-introduction, the break was about to end.
As usual, the first class was the homeroom teacher's.
The course content was to motivate students' enthusiasm for learning in the new semester, mainly through lectures and motivational speeches.
However, Teacher Zhang had already said almost everything during self-study.
So, before the class started, she directly said something that shattered Fang Yuan's worldview: "I have some things to take care of temporarily, the math class is canceled, and Teacher Bai Ning will give you a physical education class. You must follow Teacher Bai Ning's arrangements."
Fang Yuan: "..."
So... what's with this strong sense of incongruity?
...
However, taking a physical education class isn't bad either.
Compared to academic classes, energetic students prefer outdoor activities.
Most importantly, there might be a chance to interact with Pokémon.
After Teacher Zhang gave a few more instructions, she left the classroom, leaving only a group of students staring at Teacher Bai Ning.
"Before going outside, let me call out your names first, so I can get to know you."
With that, Teacher Bai Ning picked up a list from the podium and looked at it.
The names of all 32 students in Class 12 were written on it, and in addition, their beginner Pokémon types were written behind them.
"Zhao Qian."
"Here."
"Sun Li."
"Here."
"Zhou..."
As Teacher Bai Ning finished reading the names one by one, she smiled.
"Very good, who is the Class Monitor for Sports?!"
A tall and thin boy stood up, his name was Jin Wei.
"Now, lead everyone to jog around the playground twice, and then organize a warm-up activity," Teacher Bai Ning said.
Jin Wei answered yes, and immediately told the students to take action.
When the class was gathering, Lin Jing came to Fang Yuan and whispered, "I heard from my dad that this Teacher Bai is the vice-captain of their university's school team, and her strength is quite good."
"The vice-captain of the Provincial Normal University team?" Fang Yuan said, "I couldn't tell."
"It's true," Lin Jing said. "Maybe she's not used to teaching yet, but her experience as a Trainer should be extensive."
Provincial Normal University is considered one of the top five universities in the province.
Being the vice-captain of the school team means her strength is among the best in the entire university. It wouldn't be surprising if someone like that became a Professional Trainer after graduating in a few years.
Fang Yuan nodded and took note of it.
Before long, led by the Class Monitor for Sports, Class 12 finished assembling and jogged around the playground twice.
At this time, Teacher Bai Ning was already waiting for them at the destination.
"Do some warm-up exercises first, mainly the upper body, move around a bit more," Teacher Bai Ning said.
A few minutes later, the warm-up ended.
The class stood neatly in four rows, waiting for their new instructions.
Looking at this group of energetic students, Bai Ning's expression became serious:
"Let me introduce myself again, my name is Bai Ning. I will be responsible for your outdoor classes for the next year, including physical education and training."
"Today is the first class. As your new teacher, I just want to reiterate one principle: 'A tall building rises from the ground.' No matter how excellent a Trainer is, they need to start with the basics."
"I believe you probably don't want to do physical training like a normal physical education class, but want to train Pokémon and even have Pokémon battles, so I'll give you that opportunity."
"Here, the teaching tasks will start with the Trainer's fundamentals."
"Fang Yuan, step forward."
All eyes immediately focused on Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan was also dumbfounded. What was wrong with him?
Teacher Bai Ning said, "Next, Fang Yuan will release his Pokémon and demonstrate the first fundamental skill of a Trainer with me."
Fang Yuan understood that this new teacher clearly wanted to use him as an example.
But this was also a good opportunity.
Experiencing it firsthand would definitely make his understanding of the teaching content clearer.
...
On a Battle Arena in the center of the playground.
Fang Yuan and Teacher Bai Ning stood on opposite sides of the battlefield. The other students had already dispersed and formed a circle to watch the excitement.
In fact,
calling Fang Yuan out for a demonstration could indeed better motivate the other students.
There was no other way. Fang Yuan's reputation in Class 12 was too great. Based on his victory in the Little Phoenix King Cup alone, who would dare say they were better than Fang Yuan? As long as Fang Yuan made a fool of himself, the teaching objective would be achieved.
At the same time,
Teacher Bai Ning took out a Poké Ball and released a Breloom.
Breloom, with its Grass and Fighting attributes, is shaped like a kangaroo, with elastic wrists and two red claw fingers on its limbs, which are its main weapons.
Fang Yuan also released Eevee.
After seeing Eevee, Teacher Bai Ning carefully observed it and found that it was indeed well-trained.
"Fang Yuan, in a moment, I will have Breloom attack. You command Eevee to dodge. When I say it's okay, try to use the Poké Ball to recall Eevee," Teacher Bai Ning said.
"Okay."
Fang Yuan roughly understood what the basic skill she was talking about was.
The next moment, Teacher Bai Ning shifted her gaze from Fang Yuan to Breloom on the battlefield and said, "Mach Punch."
As soon as she spoke.
Breloom rushed out quickly, its nimble footwork making its movements fleeting.
On the opposite side, Little Eevee's pupils shrank suddenly. It had experienced many storms in the Oriental Pearl's arena, but at this moment, Breloom's speed exceeded its imagination.
The Pokémon of a Rookie Trainer and the Pokémon of a Veteran Trainer were not on the same level at all.
Facing Breloom's Mach Punch, Eevee only felt a flash of white light before the opponent appeared in front of it.
Thanks to its excellent reaction speed, Eevee could barely react, but at this moment, its body couldn't keep up with its reaction.
However, after reaching Eevee, Breloom suddenly slowed down its attack speed, giving Eevee a chance to breathe.
It hurriedly dodged, but Breloom pursued relentlessly, its retractable arms punching continuously, forcing Eevee to retreat.
"You can try now," Teacher Bai Ning said to Fang Yuan.
Fang Yuan immediately took out the Poké Ball, pressed the button to recall the Pokémon, and a red light shot towards Eevee's location. However, due to Eevee's dodging movements, Fang Yuan's operation directly failed, and he couldn't hit Eevee.
"Continue."
Breloom's attack was still fierce. Fang Yuan frowned and kept pressing the recall button, but he couldn't successfully hit Eevee even once.
He realized that Breloom was deliberately restricting Eevee's movement, preventing him from easily recalling Eevee! At this moment, Teacher Bai Ning clapped her hands and called a stop:
"I think you should understand now. If this were a 2v2 battle, even if the rules allowed it, the Trainer would not be able to immediately recall the Pokémon and switch out the Pokémon in battle if Eevee was in a disadvantageous situation. The consequence of this would be losing the match."
"And if it were a dangerous battle in the wild, such a mistake could very likely lead to the Pokémon's death," Bai Ning said bluntly.
This was the first basic skill for Trainers that she wanted to talk about: accurately recalling Pokémon with a Poké Ball.
Fang Yuan held Eevee's Poké Ball… slightly stunned. To be a Trainer, you really can't just rely on bluffing.
